You snap your fingers languidly beside his, eyes opening. Gerald grins - and you look at your normal human hand, blinking.

"Whuh... What?"

Gerald sighs.
"SCP - 90. Deep Dream Doctor." he says, handing you a sandwhich, which you start to eat. "Ran into its radius during a breach. Normally it's inhibited thanks to the shielded, powered paneling. It makes you dream subtly of your great fears, like loss of control. You were out for... A day and a half." he says, shrugging. His arm is still missing.

>Question: So what happened during the breach? What got stolen, and who did we lose?

"Nothing important. New factions showed up, however."

You raise an eyebrow.

"More black markets, mainly. Me and Kelly went out and scoped one. Triad-based." he grumbles. "Motherfuckers are hard to kill, I tell you what. And harder to find." he says, shrugging. "We lost nothing but an eyepod for a few hours and " he mumbles something.

"...And?"

"And nothing."

"Gerald." Kelly says reproachfully.

"...One of them got away with your rifle."

"pray tell, how they got their hands on MY rifle?"

WELP, GOOD JOB GERALD.

>>26734299
"Pray tell, how they got their hands on MY rifle?"

"They got into the Machine room." he said. "I got them out of the supply room, but they snatched it up on the way out."

>>26734391
You fume momentarily.

"I'm sorry. I know it was important."

"That's why me and you are going to see about finding it." Kelly says, moving off the wall she'd been leaning on. :We don't have much to go on. They're Triad based. They're in Istanbul." she says, "Which is an Artefact-laden city. And finally, we think they're underground."

You nod.

"We can also look into a casino experiencing strange events, a few buildings in Japan up and vanishing, and a forest that has appeared to gotten up and moved."

>>26734492

>>26734492
Get our god damn rifle before one of them gives it a my little pony paint job

>>26734492
"That rifle should be in lock down, there's no telling what it might do since the Machine rejected it, I may need another item from the Machine to help deal with this, I'm going to request one"

>>26734545
This, if we lost the rifle then we should probably gain another item.

>>26734556
>>26734545
"I should get another-"

"Machine's in severe lockdown to prevent tampering." he says. "You'll mostly be doing investigation anyway. Eat up and drink. You can use the overnight room." he says, referring to a room for people who had to stay for more than 12 hours, so they could sleep between shifts.

You nod.

"You're also to be shadowed by Kelly. SOP for SCP interaction on the memetic level. Sorry." he rises and hurries out. Kelly sighs.

"We'll leave in a few days. Until then, you need to get back into working order."

I agree wholeheartedly.

>>26734788
You eat, then pick up your weapon - the simple 'sword'. You haven't given it a name, yet, but you hitch it to your belt. Food here isn't that bad, if you don't mind simple meals.

You take a club sandwich, she takes some potato soup.

"So what did you dream about?" she asks. It's only now you notice - in the dream, she was more attractive. Not enormously so - mostly it's in how she carries herself and dressed. It's somewhat disconcerting for a moment.

You think for a moment.

Not sure so I wrote my own ending for today:

"We flew out to Australia to recapture SCP-682. It attacked our helicopter and when I shot it my arm got replaced with its skin."

she seems to take note of what you said.

The conversation is minimal after you describe your dream, you both finish your meals (such as they are) quickly and you set off to the training room to work on your sword-fu

AND THEN 682 BURSTS THROUGH THE WALL!!! It looks like he's about to charge at you and attack, but he looks past and spies the table you just ate at. His lizard face assumes a new expression and he blows past you even as you draw your sword. Someone in the room starts screaming as the lizard straight up kool-aid mans through the door into the dining area and you step to the side to see what it is he's so fixated on.

You only see a table at first, until it strikes you. Its the most attractive table you've ever seen. Confident, poised, queen of the cafeteria. A bit of shine and shimmer from the well polished legs catches your eye, fascinates you momentarily. The harsh plastic seating shaped into the most bare mimicry of a human backside, covered only by the thinnest of cloth. The thick glass plating that made up the table part, just smokey enough that you can't see all the way through, hinting at the erotic delights underneath. 682 abruptly impedes your vision. You only now notice that you've dropped your sword so that you can take hold of your 'sword'

>What do?

>>26739970
Duel 682 via penis fencing.

"Satan guide my cock!"

>>26739970
Pick up the actual sword and cut off our own sword so that we can dual wield swords.

It's the table! We have to destroy it! SCP 682 might be content for now, but this table must be destroyed. Call in an airstrike, take a psikiller, pull the fire alarm. Contain this problem.

"I saw my world fall apart." you say, then explain. She watches, intently, then sighs. "Not what you expected?"

"I don't know what to expect, given you." she says, leaning back. "The last day has been kind of bizarre. Gerald was quiet. Contemplative."

"That is bizarre."

"Well... Some people in the DDD don't... wake up. We have some people who have been under for many years. The Overseer who was looking over the place when the incident occurred was not seen favourably for possibly losing a great Agent."

You wince. Of course he wasn't...

You finish the meal and train with the weapon. It's actually difficult to use right - there's literally no weight to it, so you need to be careful not to accidentally cut targets you are not aiming for. It only cuts when you want, but you have to concentrate if you want to cut something specific, you find. So accidents still happen.

"So. How we getting to Istanbul?" she asks. "We can fly civvie or company."

"Let's fly in style." you say with a smile, and she nods.

"I'll get the gear." she says.

It doesn't take you long to gear up. Your revolver is still with you - trusty and seemingly unbreakable. You've had it tested for developing anomalous factors and were told you were simply lucky. Ammo enough likely to last you the whole trip. Some simple gadgetry - a Foundation-provided smartphone with all sorts of helpful apps and some more specific ones.

Gerald approaches and hands off a few religious items - a cross, some holy water, some spices ("Eat with these if you are going to be facing undead. Makes you UNtasty.") and he grins at you.

"So you're flying in first class with her, huh?" he asks with a grin. "We never flew first."

"Oh yes, with a quiet rookie who doesn't quite know what she's doing yet. Exactly." he nods knowingly, then laughs as he leaves. You palm your face. It's not like that, you insist to yourself.

She returns with a bag. "My SMG is in there, along with enough clothes for both of us." she says simply.

"You use light automatics?"

"Sure. I don't aim well, anyway. It was either that or shotguns, and Gerald's got that market cornered." she offers. "How about accommodations?" she asks.

"What about you? What do you think?"

"I'd rather stay in a hotel, but I don't want Larry from accounting on my ass for two rooms." she says, "But it might be awkward to get one. Maybe I should specify two beds, one room?" she says, "And near the ground floor, if possible, for quick escape in case we need to move quickly. Internet is helpful but not essential..." she says, thinking. "And a hotel room is easier to secure than a motel room." she adds. "So I think, one hotel room with two beds on or near the ground floor." she says, with finality. "Good?"

You think for a moment. She's mostly correct. However, there are other concerns with staying at a hotel - civvies are in mroe danger if you're targeted, for instance - and she's right, it will be awkward.

"That said, the plan is good. And we will do that."

"Oh, but-"

"Kelly." you interject, and she looks up. "An Agent must be confident, and decisive. If you falter in the field, you will die. There is very little middle ground. Gerald's arm is a sign of that."

She nods. "Regardless, this is a fine decision. Phone the hotel before we leave. I will prepare our luggage to pass through customs." I say. There's a specific way to get things through borders, onto planes, and so on, and every Agent learns them. Kelly has hers prepared already, which makes you smile. Good. She learns fast.

You work quickly, and soon you're on the plane, and taking off. Neside you, Kelly fidgets, but you pull out a book and relax.

"Something troubling you?"

"I'm not that great with flights." she admits as you take off. "I'm always worried something will go wrong."

"It'll be fine. The Foundation checks over all planes while under construction and their first flight." you say, stretching.

"A-ah."

"That was after the incident with Air Force One, but..." you shrug, and the flight continues.

The arrival and setup go well. Within a few hours, you've had dinner, and Kelly has excused herself to shower. The town feels cramped after your last trip out being to the sprawling towns of Oregon and Washington.

Apologies. Family emergency prompted me to leave without warning.

While several of the gun stores offer no further information, it's the fifth that is actually helpful.
You enter, and they seem only slightly shady, as you look around the store with a raised eyebrow. When you ask your series of questions, you notice the clerk move oddly, then mumble something about a back room he needs to check.

This sets off a thousand and one red flags.

You quickly call Kelly, who says she will get dressed immediately and provide backup.

Then you draw your revolver and give chase, entering the back room where the man stands with shotgun ready. You just barely manage to jerk back as he fires, ruining some of his counter. It was a pump action. He might have another round, and this is the only entrance. He's set up pretty well, you think. This might be a rough spot...

>Use sword (Write in how)

on his shotgun, hopefully slicing it between the breech and the end of the barrel while missing any hand or fingers in the way...

>>26751426
>Use sword
Just pick it up with our free hand and direct it at him, but don't move anywhere, lead into Ambushing him when he emerges if that fails

>>26751483
>>26751485
You use the blade, swinging it at the wall, hoping to hit him. There's a scream and a curse, and you find yourself smiling wide as you swing the corner. His arm is cut in half lengthwise, and he is too in pain to even shoot.

"Where is my gun." you growl at him.

"Triads." he says angrily. "Triads took it! You fucking madman! They have it and told me to tell them when you came looking! You're in deep shit, dead man!" he manages, before passing out from shock.

Shit. That means it's in the hands of some very dangerous, very powerful people - and you STILL don't know what it does. You turn to look outside, and several black cars are approaching. You know Kelly will be of little help here.

You have a few minutes to think. What do you do?

A thought just passed my mind. We are in Istanbul, does the ORIA has any power in here. We might be in more trouble than we thought if they do.

>>26751426
>Wait for Kelly/Ambush him when he emerges
The sword is too risky to use, he's till has a round in the shotgun, and we don't want to lose out hand for real.

>>26751650
FUCK.

>>26751645
Grab the shotgun and try and find an exit with Kelly.
If we have any explosives toss them out the front as we escape.

>>26751645
what >>26751674 said, take the shotgun and anything particularly useful at hand lying around, form some sort of trap to delay our pursuer and get to an exit, get kelly to pick us up

>>26751645
Look for an exit we can use. If none, set of an ambush, they might not know you are here yet.
Grab the Clerk's shotgun and your own weapons and set up a defense. Also, look for anything we might be able to use.

There isn't one that's not the front door. You make a mental note that many buildings in this town are definitely up to code.

However, you take the shotgun and load it some more. With some thought, you boobytrap the front door, and load your revolver. The camera setup in the office allows you to watch the occurences in the front.

The first Triad that enters is blown to bits by the shotty, but the second is more careful - and sliced in half by the sword, suit undamaged. By this point the others have taken position outside.

When two MORE are mowed down by an SMG. That's four down - a whole car of them.

The second car wises up, and decides to take cover behind their vehicle to take potshots at Kelly as she dashes in.

"Please tell me you did not kick the beehive before we even spotted the honey." she says, reloading as she enters the office, panting. Her clothing is disheveled, the buttons done the wrong way, and her hair still wet.

You note it's a good look for her.

"No clue but... yeah, I'm willing to bet." I say.

She palms her face, looking at her smartphone.
"Thank Google." she mutters. "Use the sword and carve a hole in that wall. We'll escape that way, heading north." she says quickly, making sure her Uzi is working properly. Her eyes have a focus you never saw before. "Triads don't fuck around." she says, "So neither can we. We're heading to a local Artefact we've secured and using it for our own means - I've sent word to the local OC."

Overseer Council. One per continent.

You rise and work at the wall. It'll be a bit slow-going.

"James, it might be that the rifle has developed anamolous properties. I need your word that if that's the case, it goes to the Foundation. Do I have it?"

>>26753904
>>26753968
"You're exactly right Kelly, since when did you learn to be some dominant? I rather like it."

She flushes, then spits out something along the lines of "Just get it done!" and hurries to peek outside. You shrug, hacking at the wall with long strokes, outlining a door. She returns.
"They ran off." she says, "But they'll be back with worse. How's the door?"

"Tough." you grumble. "The wall's old stone, in parts, and wood in others. Makes it hard to carve a clean line."

"Hurry, we don't have much time."

You pause, looking over at her as she fixes her buttons. She';s slimmed down. Lost weight, you think. It makes her proportions stand out - her hourglass figure was natural, not from fat. You return to the work, trying not to think on it as you break through with a solid kick. She runs past you, into the alley, and you both check for hostiles. None found, you move north with speed.

"We have maybe five minutes. If we take the sewers we will move faster, but there's a known SCP there we never managed to contain that makes it dangerous." she says, pausing next to a manhole cover. "Your call, James."

>>26754429
If you're going to say there's an SCP down there, I need to know what it is.

>>26754446
"Need to know more."

"It spawns a fishlike humanoid with superhuman strength and speed and stamina." she says. "As far as we know there are at least four hundred in the sewers. They hunt with darkness and pack tactics."

"Bullet proof?"

"Not quite. Need more than people."

>>26754497

You move quickly through the streets.
"So how will we know it...?"

"The SCP is a large, victorian mansion."

"...In Istanbul."

"It's an SCP!"

"...Yeah, alright." you grumble, moving quickly. Luckily, you don't encounter any Triads on the way there. And that's when you see it - the massive house. You run up to the door and she knocks.

The door is opened by a rose-red-haired woman, with piercing eyes. Her expression is one of clear and present hatred, as she stares at both of you. She wears what appears to be a full maid uniform, and is full-figured.

Kelly shows her Foundation badge.
"Agent Kelly and guest. Give my guest all the traditional trappings of safe passage."

She nods, and stands aside for us to rush in, then shuts the door.

"Safe!" Kelly manages, happily.

>>26756761
The decor is impeccable, and the house is perfectly clean. It's actually slightly unnerving, the maid just staring at you. Unblinkingly.

>>26755724
"So who's that."

"That is SCP-3986." Kelly says. "It is an entity of pure, elemental hate. As far as we know, the only thing stopping its rampage across Istanbul and the world was its binding into the form of a house and various bindings of command." she says. "In short, it can do almost anything - but the more we bind it, the more powerful it becomes. Like damming water." she says. "Eventually all it takes is one crack. Anyway, I'm allowed to command it myself by order of OC."

Something about this unnerves you.

"So what now?"

"This is just a staging platform. We need to move on the Triads, but they hold a few SCP of their own. Including your gun - which may be an item of severe interest for us."

"...Us?"

She frowns.
"In any case, we need to move."

"Isn't it safe here?"

>>26757036

Also, get reassured on where Kelly's loyalties lie.

"Do not harm the owner in any way. Do not take any request to mean harm to the owner in any way. Do not allow, within the confines of your power, the owner to come to any harm. Do not take any request to mean to allow the owner to come to harm. All of these bindings so far are to be called, henceforth, Binding A. All instances of "Owner" in binding A are to be applied to those referred to as guests of the owner." she says. "And so on. More parts refer to sharing information, preventing mental harm, and the like. It will do as you command, though, but do not place long term commands on it, or more bindings. It might result in... Bad things." she states.

"Kelly, who are you?" you ask. "Where do your alliances lay?"

She hems and haws for a moment.
"There is a growing faction among the Overseers that sentient SCPs should be destroyed. Another that they should be treated better. Another that they should be destroyed." she says. "I am not an Overseer, but an inspector acting on their behalf for this matter, and your rifle may be very important for that."

"In what way?"

"...I cannot say."

"So... You're not a rookie?"

She smiles, half out of pity and half impressed.
"No, James. I've been in this game since I was sixteen, though not in an official capacity. I was born in a CF's medical wing to a couple of Agents, and trained since I could talk. I'm an Inspector, and right now, I'm inspecting the dangers and needs of sentient SCPs."

>>26757569
Anti-paranoia training was never meant to cover this! We're definitely still in a dream. I mean come on, rookie Kelly turns out to be a super secret sexy agent sent by a turncoat faction of Overseers and happens to know of a victorian house in Istanbul with a lovely maid who must follow our every command?

Sexy dreamtime action sequence here

>>26757569
"What is your opinion on us asking SCP-3986 for help in getting back the gun?"

"So the bindings are already at their limits?"

>>26757690
inb4 we are harming Kelly and get oneshotted by the house

>>26757569
Ask the SCP what it is so angry about/at?

>>26757569
This house wasn't formerly owned by someone named Armas, was it?

wtf happened in the QTG, come back OP

>>26757569
"Well, thanks for being honest with me now rather than later, but before we leave to go get my rifle, you're going to tell me why it is that your mysterious faction inside the mysterious faction wants it and why it should have it"

>>26759380
I'm hoping he does, this was getting fun

someone want to archive this?

"Well, thanks for being honest with me now rather than later, but before we leave to go get my rifle, you're going to tell me why it is that your mysterious faction inside the mysterious faction wants it and why it should have it."

She sighs.
"It's not mysterious. It's just a few of the OCs believe that Sentient SCPs need a reexamining of their protocols, and I'm examining that. I need your rifle for it."

"And why would you need it?"

"Because... Because we have reason to believe it's growing a personality." she says, "It hasn't yet, but it might. And if it does, it can serve as a data point I desperately need."

"Fine. Tell me you have a plan to hit the Triads?"

"...I don't, actually. I need your help with that."

>>26767675
glad to hear this is back

info we'll need, possible locations of where the rifle may be, and locations of the triads manpower centers, where they have minimal security/not watching, places we could cause distractions and infil/exfil points

also, info on what the triads could bring to bear against us and local resources we can use to help out

>"Despite how peaceful I may have looked asleep there Gerald

>>26746999
>"Kelly." you interject, and she looks up. "An Agent must be confident, and decisive. If you falter in the field, you will die. There is very little middle ground. Gerald's arm is a sign of that."

Who talks like this? This writing is more stilted than a Florida Keys highway. Are you ESL? It's forgivable (barely) if you're ESL or mentally handicapped or something, but if English is your first language quit reading shitty fan-fics and pick up some real literature and learn how people fucking speak. Or just go out in the world and listen to people. Real people, not internet people.

>>26746759
>"I'd rather stay in a hotel, but I don't want Larry from accounting on my ass for two rooms." she says, "But it might be awkward to get one. Maybe I should specify two beds, one room?"
Do you expense account, bitch? If the company's springing for first class they will not care about another hotel room.

>>26753844
>"James, it might be that the rifle has developed anamolous properties. I need your word that if that's the case, it goes to the Foundation. Do I have it?"
James, it might be that I have suddenly caught the anamolous horrible dialogue. Do you know, James? I need your word that if that's the anamolous case, it goes to the anamolous Foundation. Do I anamolous?

WHO ARE YOU? DAEDALUS? ICARUS? I'M J.C. DENTON.

WHAT A SHAME.

>>26767675
Obviously we need to know where the Triad are based. Chinatown, some office buildings, the docks, what?
Then we need to know if that's where they're likely to have the gun or not and if not, where is?
Other things like: what local assets can we utilize besides this stupid mansion, whether she knows if the Triad's are being controlled from behind the scenes, any rumours or facts about them.

I dunno, what colour she's wearing today?

What're you saying besides "Write better, fucktard!" Aside from point two, almost all of these statements are meaningless - Okay, the dialogue is stilted. Yeah, now what?

"Just, uh, fix it!"

Okay. It will now change as much as you expressed it needed to - which is, in exactitude, not at all.

>>26768604
I knew it was you Shot, only you would reply like an indignant child to that kind of bait.
Show's over folks, this is still EGO.

>>26768654

You're not helping, troll.

If you were sincere about your critiques you could have justified or explained them further, just saying "THIS IS SHIT, FIX IT" does not help at all

>>26768604
Not that person but I can rephrase it as more obviously contrustive:

>Read good books, talk to real people. Dialog can't be explained it comes from experience.
My personal suggestion is to speak stuff out loud.

>Logic.

>Don't use the word anamolous, see point 1.

>Don't reuse stuff from other games. Come up with original or at least original seeming content.

>See point 1.

back to the topic at hand, >>26768371 & >>26768504 are good points to start on our plan, lets get us some info and be smart about our hunt

>>26768654
Why did you think that was me? It doesn't have my trip. Why do you think I'm EGO? I changed the trip to avoid this confusion. I sincerely would like to know how you want me to improve, and maybe if you were more specific I could? You don't have to, anyway, I'm going to let this 404 and start with a new thread.

>>26768692
Thank you, I will keep this in mind for next thread, as well as supported suggestions.

>>26768700
Try to not respond to the trolls, if they are sincere about their criticism, they will elaborate and explain it, also, might want to try waiting a day or two before making a new thread, let the trolls scheduled magnetic tape backup commence and forget this existed.

Also, if you have access to the twitter, or make a new twitter for the quest, a heads up few hours before you put up a thread, and then linking the thread in twitter helps a lot

>>26768686
Alright, here's my advice. Own up to your mistakes. Don't insult your audience by pretending to be someone else, you're still Ego/Shot and you're carrying all the baggage that name implies. Don't blame people for taunting your stupid ploys and stupid dialogue and stupid stupid stupid behavior in the quest general threads that led to you being reviled for being an asshole and nitwit.

Stop stealing from other games, you look like an even bigger tool when you do it. Come up with something original. If you can't come up with something original, at least restyle what you're stealing so it is not instantly obvious.

You don't have an ear for how people speak. Go out in the world and listen to how people hold conversations. On your way home from your shitty retail job or whatever you do stop at a Denny's or a Starbucks or pretty much anywhere people end up having discussion and and eavesdrop on people. Normal people.

Try speaking what you're writing aloud. You might be able to catch when you've written utter crap.

Turn your spell checker function on. If you're using a browser that was made sometime in the past five years it's got a spell checker.

>>26768734
Why are you so insistent that it's the same person? Hell, the person who responded to you wasn't even the guy who is running the quest.

>>26768734
nice reply, but I'm not the QM...

>>26768734
>>26768692
Huge points with the stealing. The triads, mansion, Istanbul, rifle, sewer fish monsters, and I'm sure a fair number of other things are barely altered lifts from something else.

>>26768790
Maybe he'll throw in a Turkish wigger vampire too.

>>26768881
Oh snap! I was expecting something more along the lines of a climactic sword duel with the blade-wielding Triad leader.

>>26768904
I'm holding a torch for him introducing other characters he can bastardize to sooth his inner child's hurt over being treated like a piece of shit for behaving like a passive-aggressive piece of shit.

>>26768928
He can go deeper. Maybe a milk maid-esque mechanic woman, a tiny child-god possessed by an entity beyond mortal comprehension, or a mischievous thief with an SCP that lets him warp through space and be nigh-uncatchable.

>>26768981
Only if we can shoot the dick off the thief.

>>26769009
The dick AND the hand, and then he can come back with a monster hand and dick just like in the dream sequence!

>>26769048
Why stop there? Chop the other hand off and replace it with a chainsaw. Then he can get a job working for S-Mart, retailers of fine anamolassous rifles, maids, mansions, and Istanbuls. Do you anamolassous?

>>26769154
Oh boy, that enemy would be so overpowered that the MC wouldn't stand a chance! Unless... he was a sentient SCP all along and he awakens his hidden, but horrible, potential as a cannibalistically powered regenerator. Or, you know, something! Just throwing out totally unique and original ideas around, yessir.

Needs more shallow jailbait characters who are submissive and stupid and go along with whatever the main character comes up with when he's literally fighting werewolves for a holy grail so that he can make wishes.

And sexy QMILFS (that's Queen Mothers I'd Like to Fuck, FYI). Needs at least one of those.

>>26769303
How else could we stop the evil temptress from mind-fucking us into compromising our secrets before ascending to demi-godhood and bending the fabric of reality to become the new MC?

QMILFs are VITAL to the quest's continuation.

>>26769412
How much weak storytelling and blatant railroading should be included? I say a lot. In fact, just make the entire game be blatant railroad. Choo choo.

>>26769603
Well, I mean, okay as long as we get a designated love interest who shows interest in our lack of personality and middle school level banter. 80% of the action text involving her have to remark on the current state of her physical attractiveness though, for sure, or we might forget she has a vagina. Gotta remind players of those important character traits!

For that matter, the main character should have as LITTLE description as possible, so I can imagine I'm him and fa- put myself in his shoes.

how does the foundation not run out of manpower

>>26771517
they have a lot of governments supporting them.

>>26773345
but they might run of people soon right
[/spoiler/
]i wanna use lots of scps[/spoiler/)

>>26773378
out of agents or D-class?

>>26773422
agents

>>26773431
constant recruitment from qualified people from different agencies like the police, FBI, NSA, etc all over the world who have had contact with SCPs during their line of work. unless they have a multi facility containment breach, they have a pretty decent buffer.

>>26773466
It would be very interesting if all scps got out and started fucking shit up

I've spoken with him on this point, and once we get out of Istanbul, it won't come up further, as that's where his notes on specific events runs totally dry.

Meanwhile, I will work to avoid what is there currently. Several plot points he had planned were worryingly lifted. He showed resistance, but this isn't his quest anymore, so there wasn't much he could really say. Needless to say, next thread should show some dramatic changes. I hope to have many of you along for the ride!

However, I would like you to sage the thread from now on. It would help immensely.
