Hello, everyone! As you've probably noticed, we've been having a few problems - I mentioned earlier that something got knocked out of balance, and we had to recalibrate, but in a few days we should be able to drop the emergency measures. Please be aware that there is an incoming storm, class four. General orders for that kind of thing are to report to management for any known threats and follow instructions, but so far what's known is "that might be a little annoying" and "hope it isn't". Theoretically it'll probably be related to the holiday, I think, because a large group of souls focused through the needle of a pin on one thing can sort of shape a thing around them.

That's sort of a really inaccurate way to put it on the technical side of things, but I think it's the easiest way to understand it! At any rate, we'll know more once we're in the thick of things. Please take care as usual; resources aren't exactly what some of you seem to think they are, and we had to expend rather more than usual in the past month or so to keep things with a few of you steady.

A class four storm. I wonder what makes it that.

Anyone remember what the last one was 'classified' as? Did we even know?

I wonder if this means they'll take that awful dome away.

'the most it will last is a month' they said
'don't do anything just wait it out' they said

see it's still here!!

i knew we should have shot it with a rocket

Given that it tended to retaliate with more force than we threw at it.
If your rocket didn't break it, you might've gotten us all nuked.

and then we wouldn't be worried about the dome anymore!
problem solved both ways

I have to say as far as solutions go.
It's certainly very

Final.

that's me
never come up with solutions that don't completely and totally solve the problem or else you're just wasting time!!

But if no one survives to witness your solution...

You can't really know if it actually worked.

if i never know if it worked no one can ever prove to me that it didn't

But you'll be too dead to tell everyone you were right.

oh crap

shoot you're right

darnit

don't blow these holes in my plans man

If you come up with better plans
I won't have to pop them.

That's my question too.
How does this rate compared to August.

Well
If it were a hurricane we'd be evacuating the city.

I wish we could have evacuated the entire month of August
But if that is a good comparison to make... then yeah. Here comes August 2.0.

I pretty much did end up evacuating the city in August.
Involuntarily.
To a swamp.

Oh no, I meant those of us who got chucked outside of reality too.
Because when I came back all my coworkers thought I'd been in Hawaii for those weeks.
More like a jungle that tried to eat me at every turn.

Yeah
My internship acted like I'd been at the beach the whole time.
It made things kind of weird for a while.

Of course, that entire company vanished into the ether in November so.

They probably got tired of all of us poking around whenever they forgot to lock the front door.

Oh, not retrospec.
Different company.
It disappeared when those buildings all got shuffled around or combined together.

Oh, you mean where your internship was?
Damn, that sucks.

what if they do and when they take it away something even worse happens

Aren't you a ray of sunshine?

Well
If they do and something worse happens
At least we'll get to see the sun or the stars before it does.

i mean

given that we are apparently in for a category four storm, whatever that means, my lack of sunshine seems fairly appropriate

Were you not on the network for the last one?
