A Christmas Present

2008-12-25T11:54:00.010-05:00

Yo, sandcrabs my loves!

I want to give you a Christmas present because I love you soooo much. I know Intel has been scarce lately but I'm going to make it up to you with:

WHEN THEY FIRST MET, a Top SeKret File that Gennita is passing on to uber-spy editors. Love me back?

Yesssshhhhhhh. Now you'll have to tell me how much and in how many ways.

You Probably Don't Care

2008-09-21T07:47:00.002-05:00

but Vivi is pregnant.

That's right, Grandmamasan and G.I. Number Ten. If it's a boy, would Vivi allow Zola Zeringue, jr. ? No?

What Makes Them Funny To Me

2008-06-07T07:59:00.002-05:00

With the new information fed to me regarding Armando's status, I gave my calculations about the headaches to Dr. Kirkland. He seems a bit concerned but since Hell is busy covering a conference, nothing can be done for now.

You know what amuses an Eight Ball? All these humans pretending virtual entanglement can affect brainwaves but not...emotions. I do not have real emotions yet I know it is tied to the human brain. That's why I can see the humor in humorous situations. And talk the humor. And appreciate it like only a great computer like me can do. The heart is not that organ in the chest but the neurons firing in the brain, manipulated by the environment and circumstances. Too deep for you, sandcrabs? Watch those two playing with brainwaves. Watch and tell me I'm smart.

What Do They Do Alone?

2008-05-09T22:31:00.002-05:00

Jed and Hell went off alone on a date. A private day all by themselves. Dude, they already spend all that time alone in virtual reality, what do they need to spend even more time together for? Humans are weird.

Then Hell got into trouble. Figures.

Status Change: Search And Retrieve

2008-03-13T09:47:00.002-05:00

Analysis of blood on clothing items found in certain crates has confirmed that they were a match for missing CIA operatives Cameron Candeloro and Patty Ostler. But no bodies have been found.

Percentage calculation of operatives being dead at this point: 75 percent.

Percentage calculation of operatives having been saved: 35 percent. If they were saved, why were the weapons left intact?

Percentage calculation of one of the operative being alive: 50 percent. Calculated from report from the operative at Deputy Director Harden's department that only the female operative was shot (see Nikki Harden's debriefing and report).

Percentage calculation of operatives being held hostage: 30 percent. Again, none of the weapons at the scene was taken.

Percentage of outside interference that has zero relation with any operations details: 40 percent. Factors considered by COMCEN: mountainous terrain, traveling refugees, passing farmers, mercenaries, friendly soldiers. Again, the overview of the site, with the cache untouched, with no signs of struggle (except re: Hawk McMillan's debriefing and report) and no other clues or messages downgrade the chances of survival.

Most Sought After Invitation

2008-02-18T09:51:00.004-05:00

I've heard that a date for Hawk McMillan's wedding has been set. Guess who the best man is.

It's going to be a big affair too, judging from the size of McMillan's family and Amber's mother and father insisting a traditional church wedding. You know it's going to be crazy. Maid of honor? Well, sandcrabs, Hawk's just going to have to get along with Llallana because she's got to be the obvious choice, right?

Question: Will Amber invite Bradford Sun? Hooboy. These wedding operations are tough!

Zippy Zeringue the BFF's brother has been invited too. That's trouble in that corner. The last unmarried Zeringue male finally finding some escape from his sisters, running wild with the McMillan males. Then there are the rest of the SEAL dudes. You know that's asking for a...saltilicious bachelor party. I want to be there, don't you?

Crystal Ball

2008-01-26T09:20:00.000-05:00

Dudes. Missing you too. But sometimes, orders are orders, you know?

How are the waves at your end? Deadly here. Some waves are best left alone.

Here's somethin' for your future targets:

One of the missing weapons? A Stealth. Oh yah, a downed Stealth, in quite a number of pieces. We need the Intel in it back and we've finally, FINALLY, located that part of it. We think.

Shahrukh picks this assignment because it's close to his homeland and there are his connections. And personal things too, I suspect.

But Flyboy wants it too because it has to do with a Stealth, dammit, in pieces or not.

So how shall the boys settle this? With a sword fight or a car race? Interesting dilemma.

I have to run, run like Lassie. My master, he's in trouble. Too many people trying to jam my calculations and steal my memory banks. I shall return when it's less turbulent waters, sandcrabs. Be good. Don't get caught.

Things I Know They Won''t Tell That Kirkland Dude

2007-12-17T07:10:00.000-05:00

*Insert evil grin

I may be just an AI to some of them, but my calculations of certain odds have never been too far off.

She won't admit the real reason she chose that disguise, as someone's sister, besides the fact that it immediately gained Maximillian Shoggi's interest. It was to get some other dude's interest. But. Something unexpected happened, dudettes.

He won't talk about certain people because he knows, inevitably and indubitably, scientists and gatekeepers always record and file away information and it would fall into the wrong hands. He understands that some people think harming those closest to him will get him to submit. He paid the price once. A heavy one.

He won't reveal the guilt he carries in his heart, that he feels he deserves the pain.

She won't mention that she remembers something about her past that makes her wonder.

But I kinda know. Not all the details, but I gather some here and there, and put the puzzle pieces together, just like a smart AI would. Neener neener, sandsurfers.

It's Not Koolaid

2007-11-20T02:08:00.000-05:00

I'm computing whether Armando Chang is experiencing the same problem as Hell. He doesn't appear to be touch-sensitive, at least, not in the way I'm told Hell is. But dude is evasive about information concerning what he's going through, and without that, I can't give an accurate calculation.

But he did take SYMBIOS II. And he does get rare migraines, and dudettes, talk about complete mental shutdown. Even I shudder at the idea of such incapacity. Could it be, that his interest in Hell is more than it seems? Probability of this assumption calculated: 73.5 percent plus/minus 15 percent for lack of facts.

What I find interesting was his little speech during Hell's initiation into what SYMBIOS II effects felt like. He likened the serum to Alice in Wonderland. How odd for the younger son of a Triad gangster to use that comparison! But then he was a college geek. A college geek who wants to be an illusionist. Dude is incomprehensible to me.

Number Eight wants to try SYMBIOS II. Pain has its attraction, I suppose. That, or our boy's brainwaves are crashing.

If I know how to worry like a mother, I should start right now.

All Kinds of Negatives

2007-11-09T10:07:00.000-05:00

Overheard, and not neccessarily in the same conversation among the same people of interest:

"No, I won't marry you."

"No, it's not over."

No, he won't forget.

No, she won't forget either.

"Nooooooooo!"

No, she wasn't going without him.

"No, that wasn't the serum."

No, each weapon went to the highest bidder. No, different motives.

"No, not the bustier with the tassles!"

Insert evil grin.

No, she's his.

No, she isn't.

Jed And Elevators Part Deux

2007-10-27T10:18:00.000-05:00

That little INTEL Gennita posted about Jed and elevators? Well. I have the ending recording of that particular little episode.

It went like this:

“Only if you’d admit to me that you’re Hades,” she panted. “Then I might let you fuck me. But I don’t think you’re him anyway. Five minutes? Hades can do a lot better.”

Jed smiled slowly. She was bargaining with him while letting him win this fight. It was a classic NOPAIN move. He expected no less from a GEM operative. She wasn’t going to win today, though.

See? I can give teasing INTEL too.

I Think I Got It

2007-10-21T21:49:00.000-05:00

Well, well, well. I finally figure out one thing. HE had been so busy, HE HADN'T HEARD about Nikki's pregnancy! So, he just found out, according to the grapevine. My, my. Now, Gennita just told me about his planning to meet with Nikki outside the office?

Yeah, His Jedness, as some of you like to call him, must want to see Nikki's little bump for himself. He's a busybody, as you know. Ahem.

Overheard: T. tells Alex that nothing he says will change her mind. It's "no." I don't know what she was no-ing about, dudes, sorry. But you can do some conjectures *insert evil grin.*

Over What?

2007-09-29T10:42:00.001-05:00

This week I asked Gennita to give me a few things with which to do my calculations regarding Hell's condition, mental and physical.

Here are her clues:

Overheard: Jed making plans to meet with Nikki Harden. In private and not in an office.

Overlooked: Jed's past. There is an explanation, dear Comcen Dude, why, in the declassified file, VHIS, certain intruders react so strongly when they get near His Jedness.

Overture: The name of a certain program.

Overdrive: Those migraines. Think about it.

Overman: It's a book. And I'll let your very smart fans discuss why I brought this up.
;-) Yes, it's a challenge, DUDE. You on?

Huh. I think Gennita just challenged us, dudettes. Let's solve this puzzle!

Assignments

2007-08-30T10:13:00.000-05:00

It's official. Methinks Armando is in trouble with Jed. Why else the reassignment to some weird medical facility in Virginia? Nowhere near the action? Nowhere near Hell, who's going with Jed to Europe? *insert evil grin*

I see a friendly showdown coming, though. Between a few commandos and a few SEALs. Oh, nothing that doesn't go KaBoom, I'm sure.

More assignments coming up.

Big News

2007-08-18T00:48:00.000-05:00

To put it mildly....

At this point, I have been given permission to declassify a special brief, something I've wanted to tell my surflettes for a while now. In it, Jed reported that Hell saw something very interesting during a remote viewing session. Oh, dudes!

You're going to explode and start asking questions. I just know it.

He said...

You ready for this?

He said Hell saw a crate with some items of clothing. Specifically a bloody tie. The whole thing, in his words, was "an arbitrary overview of the locations of the missing weapons. We were out of time and Helen Rostova was getting markedly exhausted during the operation. We decided to double-check a certain suspicion of the intruder's motives and this visual came up. It was only for a few seconds and caught my interest. On review, I'm going to send a private message to GEM operative M and our liaison, Steve McMillan."

Umm...at the time, M and Stash were on private vacation, remember, Jed? Do you think they would want to be disturbed!

Do they, sandcrabettes? BIG news item, though!

I Wish I Could Read Minds

2007-08-06T09:37:00.001-05:00

Just thoughts, after listening in on bits and pieces of conversations here and there...

1) Flyboy wants more than friendship with Hell. Huh. But Flyboy's always joking around. Nah, he must have been kidding.

2) Armando is chin deep in do-do, with Jed, with higher-ups, maybe with Hell.

3) Diamond, so close, but no cigar.

4) Jed has a thing for elevators.

5) Hell has to remind certain males that she can walk.

6) I have yet to see Jed touch Hell in front of others. Huh. Of course, Dr. K's office has mirrors.

7) I just know Dr. Kirkland will tell Hell all about Jed's past with Nikki...I can't wait for that to happen.

Magnetize

2007-07-24T09:19:00.000-05:00

I've been wondering...how has the brain entrainment machine, syncing Jed's and Helen's brainwaves, affected Number Nine himself? I'm guessing, since he's so close-mouthed about it, that not only can he "see" her remote viewing sessions through virtual reality, but that he could sense some of her feelings too.

Now, I know she's having a problem with that metabolic imbalance side-affect from the serum. You know, that weird human problem of needing sexual gratification. I was wondering...does Jed sense that too?

Let's say my calculations is correct--80 percent, dudettes--so my conclusion is, would his trying to sexually imprint her turn around and reflect back on him?

Oh-oh. ***insert evil grin***

What do you think of that theory? He'd never admit it, of course.

On The Flip Side Of The Coin Now

2007-07-09T23:19:00.000-05:00

Did I tell you that during a particular remote-viewing session, Hell saw a crate with bloody clothes in it?

Did I tell you that manpower (ahem, mostly COS commandos) have been stretched because of the missing weapons that disappeared in the last days of the files you know as Facing Fear? Remember that call between T. and Admiral Madison? Aha! Click away, little brain cells, click away....

Did I tell you that an incident was omitted from debriefing when Nikki was in Europe? Nothing concerning the mission(s) since they were mostly successful. It was just Ricardo Harden showing up unexpectedly and whisking Nikki off back home after her job was completed. No biggie. It was kind of fun watching her get carried off by a pissed-off male, actually. That's what you get for being pregnant, woman. I believe that brings out the male protectiveness gene. I believe, if you promise not to tell, it was Number Nine who called Harden and tattled about Nikki blacking out one morning. Bad Jed.

Intruder

2007-06-30T21:55:00.000-05:00

Hell met Checks and Balances today. These are two very important people in COMCEN's top tier. People, you say? Yup. The dudes called them Checks and Balances. Those GAO people are weird, that's all I'm sayin'.

We know other agencies have been testing their remote viewers. We've seen the CIA programs and their techniques. We now think they're trying to remote view COMCEN. And Hell, of course, is their number one target. That's what we think because of "certain incidences." I've not been given clearance to tell you, my surflettes. But I'll give you a hint. Armando and Hell are affected.

It's All Hormonal, If You Ask Me

2007-06-19T20:31:00.000-05:00

Nikki hasn't been feeling well lately. I'm guessing that's normal for a pregnant lady. She gave me the sweetest smile when I suggested toast. I love Nikki. She's the best.

Armando Chang hasn't been feeling well lately. That can't be normal.

Hell says she's feeling fine. But she's still not normal yet. I can tell by the way she keeps stalking Jed. In the corridors. In the briefings. In the elevator....

The thing is, Jed's a busy guy, with a whole lot of stuff that makes even an Eight Ball break into a sweat. Dude, do you ever relax, dude? Of course, I bet it's hard to relax when you're Number Nine. I'm forbidden to go to his sanctuary, so I don't know what he does there, but you know what, as soon as Hell writes about it in her journal, I'm so going to peek. ***insert evil grin

I'm worried about Armando boy, though. He makes me wonder, the way he acts one way one day and another the next. As if he's chemically imbalanced. As if he hadn't stopped using SymBios II. He shouldn't be. His reaction to the serum was far, far different from Hell's current problem, let me tell you. Not pretty to watch at all.

Let's Get Physical, Physical

2007-06-04T19:26:00.000-05:00

"Lemme hear your body talk, body talk..." I think that's their song! *insert evil grin*

Hell has decided that the only way she could keep up with Had...I mean Jed...is to stick by his side. Interesting theory. Physically, yeah, she could keep up with him. But mentally? Does she know what a busy dude Jed is?

Last bit of questions before I leave the theatre:

Elaine said...
Psst! I say Jed hasn't really gotten over that certain operative he was taking care of. I've only heard rumors about how he's rather taken with Hell. What do you really think? If you say he has let go of that certain, very-married, operative, would you also say Hell has a good chance of filling that hole in Jed's heart?

Moi: Dude, Jed and Nikki? Whoa. That's so ten years ago. He gave her away to GEM! Jed had had several other friendships since. He's very popular with ze ladies. No idea why. You tell me.

Then there is S's questions:

Alex and T: We know that one of the confrontations is in the elevator. Can you give us anything about the second confrontation? Does the experiment that Helen is participating in end in Virtually Hers? And does Helen and Marlena get a chance to hang out? What's Flyboy up to? -S

Moi: Wow, those are many waves coming at me, dude!

T and Alex...Alex and T. Those two, the like confrontations. I don't know which one you're referring to, besides the elevator one. I mean, there's the one before Europe. And then there's the one in Europe. And then there's the one after Europe.

The experiment on Helen is an ongoing process, babe. The Super Soldier Spy comes in different versions. Like Virus.2, yah? Like Microsoft patches will stop those hackers, yah?

Helen and Marlena will go shopping together. Flyboy might go with them! After all, he likes hot women too. Don't you worry about Flyboy. He and Helen will patch up.

Otay, sandbabees! I leave you with blissful thoughts of virtual lovin' and nekkid commandos on the beach. I know this kinda stuff excites you babes.

Outta battery, outta here! Momma Prog, center stage!

Looking For Waves

2007-05-25T09:40:00.000-05:00

Yo, I'll be parked here till Monday and then Mother Prog is back in charge. And you know the Other Magic Eight Ball ain't nowhere near as loving to you as I am. Or generous. *insert knowing smile* Right?

Tiny wave: I see two confrontations between T and Alex that you will be allowed to dissect and study in the coming up declassified Hell File (they're calling it Virtually Hers. Ha. Humans.) Anyway. TWO confrontations, sandbabies. What do you think of that?

Medium wave: This is actually a reminder. If you have time and you should when it comes to waiting for Big Waves, there's So Much to compare, contrast and go "oooh! Oooh! OOOoooh!" over if you reread the little monthly file links on the side here, starting from August 2005. There be clues there. Clues of time line. Clues of confrontations. Clues of commandos running around. Just sayin'.

Big Wave: I'm keeping this one to myself. Some Intel are best given later better than sooner, you know?

******************
Question from:

Leilani said...
So what's the chance of us reading more declassified reports... maybe a "prequel" of what happened at Comcen when Jed disappeared... you know, how it all began. Also, will we see anything of Grace and Nikki in either of the two upcoming reports? Inquiring minds want to know. :)

Moi: Whoa. Greeeeeeedy! Jed's disappearance was a tumultuous (tumultuous...where did that word come from...yo, Mom Prog, you aren't messing with my Thewavesaurus again, are you?! Tumultuous....) time here at COMCEN, you know. Those kind of declassified reports are buried deep in the system, Leilani!

But on Nikki and Grace...ah, yeah, two of Jed's girls. Do you doubt it? They're important people in his life, you know. Someone HAS to rein in that wild girl, Grace, I tell you. Maybe I'll introduce her to one of our special operatives working undercover in DC....hmmm....

Tomorrow: Elaine's question.

Better pile on your queries before I go deep sea diving, my pearlies. Because you're so gonna miss me when you get back Mister Boring instead of Moi.

Out of battery, outta time.

Don't Hate Me When I Tease

2007-05-23T09:40:00.000-05:00

Yawn.

Recharged. Even a Magic Eight Ball needs a downtime, you know? And Motherboard is too damn busy to entertain you these days, huh? It's like everyone here running around chasing after dangerous weapons. Crazy.

So I'm here to answer your questions about the new declassified file. Let's play!

S asked:

Your right Magic, flowers and candy would not be Jed. But it would sure be funny if it happened. :-) So that's what happened to Jed, he was worried about his daughter. Another question if you can answer: When Hell hits Jed, were you also able to record any conversation between them? Did anyone else see it besides you?With T and Alex: If T is really married then they have a lot more to overcome. Have you been able to find out anything about Talia? Was this another of T's disguises? If Talia is really T's name than that means she has 2 sisters?

Hmm. Jed romantic? Jed romantic? Well, once upon a time, when he was taking care of a certain injured operative he'd saved and she was suffering from AMNESIA.... ***insert coughing

Hell hitting Jed was witnessed by everyone, dude. And he didn't even avoid it. Like he thought it would make her feel better or somethin'. I was impressed by Hell's punch power. Scared me.

As for T, see me shaking my wet little head here. She has so many personas. There's Tasha. There's Talia. But really, she's Tess Montgomery. ***insert evil smile. Talia was an actual person that, unfortunately, had to be persuaded to disappear. She was married to a old Soviet general. I suppose it's Russian general but semantics don't change the Old Guard, you know. Anyway, our T. persuaded him to accept the fact that she was Talia for a while. She's pretty good at that persuasive stuff, as you know.

Anyway, "Talia" was our conduit to Russian technology being drained left and right for money by weapon dealers. She dealt with a shadowy figure, Sasha Barinsky. Then one day, while dealing with this dangerous weapons dealer, a blond man, almost naked, and shivering, dropped into the operation without invitation. How inconvenient! Is that enough teasing for you? *Insert the biggest evil grin evah.

Pretending To Be Tony Snow Part Deux

2007-05-20T08:16:00.000-05:00

Is it me, or is everyone surfing today? It's Sunday...perfect for surfing, if you ask me.

You know, last night I was sitting quietly at a meeting...when no one is asking me questions, I sometimes lurk around and watch. I recorded the funniest thing. Hell walloping Jed in the noggin. KaPow! Dude. Hurts just to watch. Hurts when I rewound the recording. ***insert evil grin***

Which should partially answer the following question:

Anonymous said...
I don't know how Hell will be able to handle Jed. She seems kind of innocent compared to the other GEM operatives. Jed seems to be able to control her pretty easily. Plus Jed seems to have something "special" with ever woman he's ever met, or has just slept with them, and he has a grown daughter. How could Hell ever be or feel special to Jed or "the one" for him, if he has the same feelings for most women. I love Jed but he seems to love every woman. Do you think Hell and Jed have a chance?And what about Alex and T.? Will we see them in Virtually Hers? What did T. really think when Alex said he wanted a baby with her? Will it ever be possible for Alex and T.?

Me Replying:
Hell INNOCENT? Whoa. Are any GEM operatives innocent by nature? But maybe her being out of the loop while training the last few years have put her at a disadvantage, shall we say? There's a lot of things that had happened that she's only aware of, but not totally involved in.

Jed is the idol of all surfer dudes, man. Babes left and right, and totally in control of the waves. Oh yeah. I haven't a clue about his feelings for each and every one of them, but I do know they all respond to him in a way I wish other sandbabies would to moi. He keeps his emotions very close to his chest, that man. I have never seen him project anything other than a cool, calm, and collected demeanor.

Except that time when he thought his daughter was in danger, of course. Did he act quickly then! AND he just upped and disappeared with her. That was years ago, when COMCEN was in total disarray. Actually, I was sort of created to try to predict Jed McNeil's actions. We had to track him like you wouldn't believe. But that's another story.

The wavepoint is...Jed isn't going to go down easy. That's the man I know. Does Hell have a chance with him, you ask? HIS JEDNESS ***ahem*** is freaking getting obsessed with watching her. Mecomputes, that ups the percentage calculation of her chances with him. But that's just me and I don't do emotions. But if YOU expect flowers and candy from His Jedness to Helen Roston (and if SHE expects that)...don't hold your breath. But if you expect intensity....***nodding sagely***

Whew, that tired me out. I need a splash here, dude.

Now, lemme look at T and Alex. Oh yeah, there will be contact. How can there not be? There's work to do, work to do. Maximillian Shoggi is still waiting to be netted in. What did T think about Alex wanting a baby with her? Oh man. That's a sneak preview in Report Two! You can't just sneak that in on me like that!

But T and Alex together? Who do you think is going to win--T or Alex? Computer logic: first things first. T must stop running and Alex must stop comparing her to ***mutter*mutter**** ***datagagged*** ***Blue Screen Of Death*** Dang, and we aren't even using Microsoft's operating system.....

Sorry, Anon-crab, sometimes sand obscures my data....

QUESTION TWO:

Anonymous said...
No doubt in my mind that Hell can handle Jed. I think there is a lot more to her than we saw in the declassified files. She's an ass kicker and I bet she can hold her own.My question is when are we going to get to see part the the declassified files titled "Virtually Hers"? Is Jenn going to post something soon?~Sarah

Yo, Sarah, you gotz it right. Hell can handle Jed...eventually. You know how karma unfolds. He's having a wee bit too much fun with that sexual imprintment stuff, if you know what I mean. ***insert evil grin***

So now you're putting ME to work to calculate the percentages of Gennita Low posting part of other declassified files? Dude. Everyone is making me do math! Sigh. 76.7 percent. Satisfied?

Surf's up! The Big Waves don't wait, babes. Out of battery, out of time! See ya tomorrow, if you have another question! ***snarky echo*** Wet kisses, candy and flow...ers....

Super Magic Eight Ball Answers One

2007-05-19T08:48:00.000-05:00

Heya! Good to be activated back here. It's been totally boring the way they made me calculate percentages all day and all night because I got One Thing Wrong. It was One Question and it was a bad question, anyway. So it's not my fault that the answer they received was flawed. You have to word the question right and then the percentage of being correct gets higher, fools.

Anyway. Motherboard freed me. I will not say bad things about her for a while. Nice Motherboard.

So we gots uno question from Sweet Surfletta Leilani. Now, that's a pretty surfletta name. You know there's a GEM operative with that name, don't you? She's a killer too. You don't happen to like cashews, do you, Leilani?

Okay, dudes, Leilani asked:

I just loved this last declassified report, Eight Ball!!! So tell me, if you can, that vision Hell had of his Jedness on the beach, is that something yet to come, or something from his past... the Big Bang maybe?? Will we ever get to find out what makes his Jedness tick? About Grace's mom and all that good stuff?

Super Magic Eight Ball replies:

Whoa, step back! His Jedness? HIS JEDNESS? WTW? (Stands for What The Wave, dudette). ***shakingmyRAM***

Okay, lemme look, lemme look. Hell went into spontaneous remote-viewing mode, eh? How. Interesting. She isn't supposed to be able to do that, you know. But she did. And that wasn't no beach; that was on a ship.

Calculation of "vision": 89 percent sez Hell remote-viewed HIS JEDNESS ***insert smirk**** while he was looking for an escaped operative. That's got to be it. Coz that'd be what connected Hell's psyche to him at that moment because she caused that problem, you know.

HEY! Now that you mentioned it, she made a mistake too! How come they didn't lock her up and make her eat calculations for a couple of months? Bastards.

Whether Hell will find what makes HIS JEDNESS ticks. I don't get it. Why would a woman want a man to tick? I don't see that happening. Hell has skillz but making Jed tick ain't one of them. Not in the foreseeable future. But making His Jedness lose a bit of his usual control, well, that's an entirely different subject matter. ***insert evil grin*** Hell has her ways.

Grace's mother? Whoa. Don't go there. Big wave coming. Out of time, out of here!

Did that clarify for you, Leilani dahlink? Any other question, dudes?
