*standing at the window of the bridge and looking forward on the far open sea Fujek ponders on this manoeuvre*
'A captain of a ship ... seasick! And another still seems to be stuck in his mind with his former job as medical personal instead of focusing on the mission. Where is going to lead?'
*shakes his head and tries to follow his own advice focusing on the mission*
'Helmsman Rogers, are we going to make it before this storm?'

Captain's personal log, somewhere in the Nowegian sea...

Time. Time spent waiting. Engines off. The ticking clock. The gentle sway.

Time, stretches into the distance. We know it will end, it must end, but right now, we are all trapped in our own minds. In the face of every man aboard, I see myself reflected. I see fear, nerves, tension. For all their training, for all that their lives have been building up to this moment, they are afraid of what is to come. Time allows man to think, and he thinks his darkest thoughts.

But I see other things in their eyes. Determination, resolution, commitment. Like me, they know that to falter is to fail. They rely on one another, and knowing that the man next to him is as determined and committed as he is, gives them strength. Time allows man to confront his fears, to strengthen his resolve. My men are ready. They wait only for the fight.

Time spent waiting. It is a blessing, and a curse.

I'm glad to hear that and sure hope that you're going to be spared from further accidents.

Whenever you got a few moments, please drop by and answer the plenty a questions I had compiled for you ;)
Thanks in advance.

replied, sensor descriptions will be published today :)

Welcome back, Dr. Zli! Hope all is well with the family. Since you've been gone I've been beside myself starting contests left and right to make up for the time without WW3. Heheh. Looking forward to getting back into the swing of things!

seeing all this and waiting for long periods of time in hospitals with sick children I must say that I've come to respect life and health a lot more. Experience really changed me. Hope all of you are ok, glad contests are going ok :D I'll do my best to rejoin asap, just need to make sure my son's ok and with my wife.

By all means, take your time. Family's important.

Dude, take all the time you need and then some more time on top of that! Nothing is more important!

What's important is that you and your family are alright, this contest is far down the priority list compared to that, so take all the time you need. We'll all be waiting patiently :)

Update: we are continuing this starting saturday. I have only a few errands to finish and then I'm ready for you guys ;)

Great!

Roger!
*ponders how he could motivate his team again*

Crap, I'm going to my great grandmother's belated birthday party Saturday. Hmmm... when will that turn end?

24hrs so you are goof
