                       Notes from the Bunker
                            Dispatch #1

    John 'Phd Wannabe' Biles and Travis 'The Professor' Butler are
missing and feared in Trish Ledoux's clutches.  'Lucky' Lawson had no
explanation on just how *he* managed to escape while the others
didn't.  Rumor has it Kun-chan could only 'handle' two at a time and
Richard proved to be the 'odd' man out, so to speak.  But I'm not the
type to spread rumors.

Not sure just where Jimbo is at the moment... but fortunately I'm not 
stuck in Trish Ledoux's clutches. Unfortunately, I *am* currently chained 
to my kitchen table, guarded by the Fanfic Investigation Team (a.k.a. 
Windir, Frito and Lyra), sometimes assisted by the Mysterious 
Trenchcoated Figure. The MTF keeps hinting about other authors dropping 
by to join in the fun. I'm not sure I'm buying.

They say I'm stuck here until I get the 'Scoop of the Day' review 
finished. I don't know about that... maybe, since Lyra's generally fair 
and Windir's a stickler for keeping his word. But the other factors... 
once this is done, they'll lose their status as revenging characters, and 
become fair game themselves. I'm not sure how much they like that. Then 
again, they might not even realize that... <wry g> For that matter, once 
this is over, there's the chance that *I'll* become fair game again... 
Bugs will probably let it go, slapstick is part of his stock-in-trade... 
but as Zen found out, the Lovely Angels are not so forgiving.

Hmmm. This could get interesting. Perhaps the basis for a new partnership 
when that point comes? I've always wanted a Tardis, and if I can talk 
Windir into revealing how to work that 'resonance' trick he used to bring 
the FIT here...

Uh-oh. I think they've come back...
