That sounds like my cue. Welcome Kala, I am Koala, Captain of Team Andrew. When we first became the MARSupials, we divided ourselves into groups assigned to guiding individual Probes. It was important then to give them a consistent group with which to interract. That time has almost completely passed. Now any of us post to any of the Probes and no longer fear confusing them with names not of their teams. They still rely upon a ranking of team over all others when given conflicting data, but that is probably desirable.

Read as much of the summaries as you can. Get familiar with what has already happened and how we (the MARSupials) have defined our purpose vis-a-vie the Probes.

Oh yes, about the pizza. Murphy is a terrific cook. If you can pronounce it, he can cook it. He makes an extra-special pizza for me with lots of mushrooms and Eucalyptus. I love it, but some of the others think it is a tad strong for their tastes. You are more than welcome to join me in a slice. I suggest you draw an extra-large draft from the Never-ending Virtual Keg of Fosters to wash it down. Al-Q promised not to do the impossible and drink it all like he did the last time -- some people just can't hold their Eucalyptus if you know what I mean. <Wink, Wink>

I hope you enjoy your stay with us. Tell your friends and invite them to join us too. The more the merrier.

Koala
