> [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > So glad to hear this. If you don’t want to talk about your injury/illness, you don’t have to, but just remember I told you not to give lasers to the monkeys. Um… I kind of was watching the monkeys and they asked for lasers and they were so cute and I thought what harm could it do? I think I’ll just step out the back door now. ---

Um, guys, er, on the space station, the “monkeys” escaped containment a few of days ago, and um well, I just thought that now that Skald is home and on the mend and everything, that now would be a good time to mention it. Because of the, uuuhhh, _enhancements_, yeah enhancements, err, aaah, well, they got into the nuclear weapons storage locker and then changed the code for the lock mechanism. Sooooooo, yeah, now we have _enhanced_ “monkeys” on an orbiting space station with nukes. Welcome Back Skald:D I would greet you with a fish pun but I suck at puns and feel all oarfish and clumsy when I try them. just thought you should know…about the “monkeys” I mean, not the puns ---
