Hopefully someone would use me to cleave the skulls their enemies. If was used to cut wood I’d probably get so mad that I’d be able to move around on my own and become the floating axe of doom. So I’m good either way.

Good news: No more debt, unemployment or diabetes. yay! Heck, I’m now immortal and indestructible.

Bad news: I’m sitting in a weapons rack next to **Regallag The Axe** , waiting for somebody with a bone to pick to come along. And, all you elves out there better watch the fuck out.

'Pravnik" just means “lawyer,” so no change.

I don’t even know what my name would turn me into. It was based on a pokemon. The 99 is more or less random.

I’d be…um…a transition between technologies. I’m not sure what this means for me.

But if **Analog Signal** and I showed up together, there would be sparks. Electrical sparks.

I’m cool…there’s usually plenty of ponds/man-made lakes/streams in the suburbs around here.  
And very few blue whales 🙂

I’m a starship in the universe of my novel (which has nothing to do with Star Trek) so I’m in great shape. Though I’d rather be my hero who is captain.
