It is /dev/joe's turn to play. Forrest sighed. "Well, let's take inventory. Sort everything into two piles: one for everything intact and useful for our present situation, the other for all the broken stuff and whatever won't help us. We may be able to salvage parts of the broken stuff to do something useful, like supply heat or send a distress signal." Cain responded, "Well, you can start the junk pile with what passes for a ship's computer on this ol' heap of metal... it looks totally beyond repair with what we have around here. The motherboard's busted into little bits and I can guarantee nothing else on this ship has anything that could come close to replacing that." The doctor chimed in, "This poor semblance for a first aid kit can go in the junk pile too," removing a few bandages from it, which were the only useful thing in the box. "On second thought, let's use the box to hold our 'useful' pile." He dumped the empty boxes, empty alcohol bottle, and other other useless items on the floor and replaced the bandages in the box." Forrest picked up some of the belongings the crew carried into the pod solely because they happened to be carrying them at that moment. "This microdisc player looks like it might work, but the discs are all smashed." Cain said "Wait, I just found an intact disc over here." He grabbed the player, inserted the disc, set it playing, and in moments they heard the "Theme from Flood". Forrest commented sarcastically, "Well, if we succeed in nothing else here, we'll get to hear Flood one last time." As the men continued their salvage operation and the music played on, they heard an unusual chirping sound during the second track, and they turned simultaneously. Sitting on top of the microdisc player was a blue canary, chirping along to the tune of the song which mentions it. /dev/joe plays: Blue canary ------------------------------ Subject: Re: Acka: Doldrums From: Joseph DeVincentis <devjoe@rcn.com> Date: Mon, 22 Feb 1999 21:09:18 -0500 (EST) JT wrote: > On Mon, 22 Feb 1999, Gavin M.
