Bad news — my graphics card just blew up.  I’m uploading this using my motherboard’s built-in graphics.  I was able to finish Monday’s page…next Thursday’s page is going to be a challenge.  I’m going to buy a new graphic card, but I’m going out of town for Easter weekend so it’s going to be a scramble.

Wish me luck!  Sorry about this.  In the past I have only missed updates after close family members died — I’m glad this isn’t on the same level of tragedy, but it’s still a problem.

↓ Transcript
Msaka: This is Pakawa. All surviving comm officers, report.
Comm: Lt. Obwa here, ma'am. One enemy agent killed in camp. A second is still attacking the troops.
Msaka: Who killed the first?
Comm: It was the deviant squad, ma'am. Private Gregor managed to grab one. He held on even after he was killed. His squad mates finished the job.

    If you have to delay, you have to delay. We’ll still be here.

    Also, so much for “Turtle Power”.

  2. Mike says:

    Relax, this isn’t life-or-death. Well, at least not for us, but for Pakawa?

  3. The Sidhekin says:

    I didn’t realize Gregor was a snapping turtle.

  4. Deoxy says:

    There were 6, so that’s 3 down, three to go. Ouch.

  5. chukg says:

    RIP Gregor.

  6. Cavelobster says:

    No problems with the delay 🙂
    I’m not going anywhere until this story is finished all the way through 😀

  7. God of Cows says:

    Personally I think it’s a missed opportunity for Gregor to not be a cockroach.
