I'm back, well I've been back, but I'm only just getting to this. Vegas was fine. Just like I thought, bright lights and kind of trashy. Thanks for the ticket, Dani.

Important Announcement:

First, new students, I'm Doug Ramsey. I'm the be all and end all of all technology around this place. If you have any issues ~~computer issues only please~~, you can come by my office during the day, I'm usually in there. It's the one that looks like it's filled to the brim with junk, but it is not junk. Unless you have some out of control water based powers. In that case, I'm coming to you.
Secondly, now that student squads have been sussed out, I'm going to pose this question to all the students. Last semester John talked to the blue team about the sorts of danger room scenarios they'd enjoy having. The pirate one is still fairly new, but I'm taking suggestions for new ones. The Blue team's suggestions were the following: Star Wars (minus the trash compactor), Aliens, Buffy, some sort of war scenario. If you have any ideas let me know.
Also, just a reminder: downloading pirated material is illegal and against the rules. ~~And I'm kind of offended that you guys are so bad at it.~~

Not very important announcements:

I'm extremely proud that it looks like no one touched my mini-fridge or drank my Redbull like they did the last time I was out of town.
However, my poptarts are gone. This is not good.
Also, if you do catch me with caffeine, you're allowed to question me on how much I've had. My new years resolution is to cut down on my caffeine intake, but not quit, since I'm fairly sure if I went cold turkey my heart might explode or something.

	However, my poptarts are gone. Good! Poptart bad for you, Doug! ...now what that page say? Lava? Translate please! :) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Where did you hear that from? [Copy and Paste of translated story] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	liquidhotmagma 2010-01-04 05:56 am UTC (link)
	I decide this myself ~~in your office~~. [Maybe someone is trying to send you a sign that you should be eating better in this new year, hmm?] [Absolutely fascinating! Not only the practical use of lava for sustaining life--which of course is a point of interest for me. But people living in the heavens. Incredible!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[One thing at a time, Amara. Besides I don't eat them all the time.] [I don't think it will happen any time soon. NASA is interesting, but they come up with just as many ideas that will never happen as they do ones that will. I'm going to have to show you video about space exploration and the moon landings next time you're around.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Remind me to cook you a real meal sometime.] :P [That reminds me! I learned how to use the kitchen! Did you get the cookies I sent you?] [You must show me all about this the next time we meet. It all sounds most fascinating--I learn the most interesting things from you, Doug!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[I did! They were good, and I'm glad you're learning all that stuff. It's important.] [It is really interesting. I'll have to find some good sources, and if I don't see you soon, I'll send them to Houston for you. Someone can show you how to work the DVD player.] (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Welcome Dougie! It was fun, wasn't it? :) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_babelfish 2010-01-04 05:52 am UTC (link)
	It was, and I didn't lose any money. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	psyche_out 2010-01-04 05:59 am UTC (link)
	Lucky! I definitely lost a few ~~hundred~~ bucks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A Doug without caffeine? ~~I'm not sure whether to be amused or terrified by the prospect.~~ This is going to be interesting... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_babelfish 2010-01-04 05:57 am UTC (link)
	Yes, I'm cutting down. New territory for us all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well if you need anyone to take some of your Red Bulls off your hands, let me know. ~~It's quite good with vodka, you know.~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If I do, I will. I'm thinking I'm just going to space these one out and not buy anymore for a while. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You worry me, Douglas. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I worry no one, except about my diet of caffeine, and I know that's not worrying to you. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I want to live in a lava tube on the moon. Oh man oh man on man only ten years until they go to the moon again! I'm so excited! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	The dimensions don't seem very cozy for more than a handful of people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	astrokinesis 2010-01-05 12:40 am UTC (link)
	True. But the original moon missions only went up with like three people. And I mean before that the Mercury Astronauts went up by themselves! It could just be a start the living in the lava tube .... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_babelfish 2010-01-05 12:45 am UTC (link)
	True. I think I'm just spoiled by the space I have here. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	pixagon 2010-01-04 02:44 pm UTC (link)
	Can the red team make some suggestions? How about King Arthurian style scene? Kings and queens and knights and fairies! Poptarts are so hard to resist! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_babelfish 2010-01-04 02:48 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, they can. I was opening up suggestions to all students. That they are. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	pshaw. Sugar Bombs beat Pop Tarts hands down. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_babelfish 2010-01-04 02:55 pm UTC (link)
	False. But only Jubilee would think that. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	gweed 2010-01-04 03:29 pm UTC (link)
	I've missed the Danger Room. I trust you have some excellent scenarios for me. How about a Star Trek one? Not the original, but the next generation? Now that would keep me coming back for more. If your PopTarts go missing again, stop by the kitchen. I have something that may fill the void. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I can frustrate you to no end with my own Kobayoshi Maru? I can do that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	indoorshades 2010-01-04 04:22 pm UTC (link)
	Now I could go for Kobayashi Maru. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Let me guess, you don't believe in no-win scenarios. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	indoorshades 2010-01-04 04:28 pm UTC (link)
	Not really. Unless it's apparently me and a video game. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_babelfish 2010-01-04 04:37 pm UTC (link)
	I can come up with something for you. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Best of luck in your endeavor, Doug. :) I have tried more than once to go without my morning coffee-- it never ends pleasantly. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_babelfish 2010-01-05 11:08 am UTC (link)
	Morning caffeine stays intact. It's everything else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Haha. Well I cannot blame you there! (Reply to this) (Parent)
