[A man enters the mess wearing a leather jacket and a flightsuit. His usual fiendish grin is replaced by a crestfallen face, his normally alert gaze cast downward to his boots. His squared shoulders and energetic walk have given way to a slow shuffle. He enters the kitchen and grabs his china cup, filling it not with raspberry tea, but with Macallen single malt whisky. He takes a thoughtful sip and enters the common area...]

I had a thought a few days ago. I wanted to use - probably in violation of several laws - the backgrounds from EarthCom and Ground Zero for the wallpaper on my PCs at home and at work.

The server at EON4 is no longer responding. Neither is AmCy's. I've tried for two or three days. No joy. Now, my only momentos are a badly modified EON4 logo on my webpage (I reduced its size and it lost quite a bit of quality), only one of the 4 glyphs Eric made for our use (also on my page), and the goodbye picture.

Grand Zero, my friend, take care of that cap.

[Just before taking the last sip of scotch from his teacup, he raises it]

For auld lang syne...EON4ever.

[Setting the cup on a nearby table, he shuffles off to the bunkroom.]
