Dramatic SFB: Late War T4

[Charles Carroll]

I am just taking a slight break right now. Still having some issues with my
concentration. Probably due to my breathing being down to around 30% of

you know. Not giving up or anything...just reducing for a while.

Chuckles de Duckles....Drunken Mercenary Captain of the Spaceways.
