:: Aboard the [~V~]Malaclypse ::

*Hey, Mal, did any of the old ELF have a name that began with "k"?*

"Em... other than Kitty, I don't recall any, Dis. Why?"

*Just got a tight-beam over private comms to us. Either it's a joke, or someone is channeling Franz Kafka. The sender is identified only as "K". He's answered the questionnaire.. His Pineal seems to be in order. He wants to join. A ringer? Maybe a spy from the Order?*

"Interesting, if weird. Well, only one way to find out. And with the Eschaton staring us in the gob, can we afford to be fussy? Run it by E-prime Sylvia. If she's okey with it, call this Joker back, and find out where to drop his F-unit. Do we have a callsign to program it with?"

*Well, yeah, but that's pretty Kafkaesque too, Mal. Here it is.. I'll send it along to the Flagship with his app.*

"Bizarre! Of course I'm familiar with the saying "In.Vino.Veritas", but this.... what a weirdo."

*Then he'll fit right in, eh, Bo... er, Mal. I keep forgetting you ain't the Boss any more*

"Sic transit Authoritas, Dis. It was meant to be. Hail Sylvia!"
