Well, that's rather crap-tastic to wake up to.

Reminds me that I need to back my own stuff up, as, um, I like it, and losing a hard drive in mid-semester is a beating for schoolwork.

Hopefully there's time enough to revive the hard drive, or replace it, or whatver ritual is necessary to render the Machine functional. Sometimes incense helps.

That aside, I suppose Sorel's safe from Vaahn attempting to fight her for her clothes.

Vaahn maintains he'd win, and thinks it would help Sorel get over her 'modesty' issues.
