[SCENE:  the bridge of Pegasus.  The ship is still en route to Nossican territory, but that’s not what’s on the crew’s mind at the moment.  Captain Korrioth is casting a rather imposing shadow over Lt. T-Bone McManx as McManx twists & tweaks various dials across his communications console.]
T-BONE MCMANX:  I’m sorry, Captain.  I’ve tried everything I know, but we simply don’t have enough power to make it through the interference.  Not from this far out, anyway.
KORRIOTH:  I understand, Lieutenant.  Keep trying.  Do whatever you need to do to cut through that interference.
[At that moment, the bridge doors part and Lord Darth Venomous strides onto the bridge.  He apparently still has a touch of his migraine headache, for there is a strained look on his face.  The Sith Lord’s right hand, Engineer Emeritus Merlin is with him.]
VENEMOUS:  Report, Captain.
KORRIOTH:  Still unable to raise General Rayegun, Admiral.  Interference from the ion storm ravaging the Southern Command is still too heavy to penetrate; Pegasus  simply doesn’t have the power.
VENEMOUS:  We’ve gotta find a way to increase power, Captain.  (towards the speakers) Bridge to Engineering.  McCool!
OZY MCCOOL (over speakers):  McCool here.  Yes, my liege?
VENEMOUS:  I need more power to the communications systems, Commander.  We need  to reach the General and make sure he’s alright.
OZY MCCOOL:  Aye, sir.  I’m on it.
VENEMOUS:  Merlin, go down and assist.  Pull from whatever non-essential systems you need, but get me that power.
MERLIN:  Yes, m’lord.  [Merlin hurries out.]
VENEMOUS:  Keep trying to reach the General, McManx.  At regular intervals.
…
Denizens, you might raise up a prayer or two for Supreme General Rayegun.  He’s directly in the path of this.
That’s an order, BTW.

Prayers tendered.
Any word from the General yet?
Yes.  He’s okay, just without power.  Stay tuned.
Good to hear.
Yup, still kickin’. Still no power at the General’s quarters, but back in the office as of today.
Entergy (the electricity folks down here for the Southern Command) advises that it could be September 25-ish before full power has been returned.
Pegasus, please be advised that a shuttlecraft could be inbound shortly. Keep comm channels open.
Other than that, most all of you have probably seen pictures or video of the devastation. Believe every bit of it. Anyone planning on a fall or early winter vacation on the upper Texas coast (specifically Galveston) you might as well change your plans now. But things are starting to get better, just very slowly.
I’ll be around, but more than likely it will just be in troll or lurk mode.
Thanks for the prayers all, but keep them coming cause it’s still “rugged” down here.
