don't worry, eventually cryptic STO will eliminate upgrade weekends just like cryptic NWO eliminated their version - and they'll use the same lame-TRIBBLE excuse too
*rakesh's voice calls out from behind him* what are you doing? (*sprays rattler and west* also...someone also needs to take kira, because we completely forgot about her; it suddenly hit me while i was in the bathroom)
*and one feeling of being squeezed through a toothpaste tube later, the trio finds themselves on top of the ridge where the hellhound landed, rakesh then triggering the ramp to lower and then heading inside to dump alex in a spare bunk, then back tot he cargo hold to secure the orb*
rakesh:...fine - kai opaka, grab hold of some part of me and brace yourself - this is going to be extremely uncomfortable *he bends down to pick the unconscious alex back up and slings him back over his shoulder*
rakesh: interceptor...also, it's apparently the orb of peace - which rather conveniently wound up being found in the middle of a brutal, unending war
rakesh: i mean orb, as in the shiny white things that look like an apple core after the rest has been eaten and thus looks nothing like an actual orb - and of course it's real! (yes, alzheimer's will do that)

rakesh: right...well, i finished my task, so now we just need to get everyone else injected who wants to be *he turns and starts heading back out* (*sprays rattler with a fire hose*)
