"Either they've retired or they decided to go to cushy ole Omega.
Kramer,Dave, Devin, Wolly. It's a squad full of old farts. Don't tell them I said that, I don't want to get hurt. :)" -CPT Mike

"Oh, and I can't forget to mention Proton in this e-mail! Just for the
sake of him being PROTON!! Why, Proton... it's been ages. Time has
been kind to you. Oh, wait, that's my reflection in a mirror
(*cough*narcissism*cough*)
But you look good, too! Honest! No, I mean it! *checks hallway to
make sure nobody is coming for him, then relaxes*" -LC Freelancer

"Please, I no longer bother to kiss butt. Proton's butt is too large for ANY kissing. :)" -CPT Mike
