Mojave Blues
"MAY DAY! MAY DAY! This is Cessna N3713X EXPERIENCING ENGINE FAILURE! MAY DAY! Any receiving station MAY DAY!" The only response was a burst of static. Nathan Quinn had no way of knowing if his transmission had been heard, but it seemed doubtful. Frantically he pulled on the yoke to no avail. Both engines were dead and his control console was showing a plethora of alarm signals. Shit! Nathan had less than a minute until his plane hit the scrub littered desert landscape below. He struck the control console with a fist.

Castle Chronicles V
MILITARY: WAR DECLARED!! As our illustrious realm has been repeatedly attacked by the heathen realm calling themselves "Immortals," our magnificent regent has seen fit to declare a state of war. War Chief Alistar was quoted as saying, "As unsinkable ships sink, so too do Immortals die!" Cpt. Strongarm of the royal guard has sent forth a call for volunteers to join in a concerted attack on these our dastardly foes. Lord Dakkarious, royal gardener and artificer of atomic dung bombs, has sent forth a call for extra sheep bladders and wool necessary for the fabrication of bomb casings. Meanwhile, Lord Tolke's kraken, Spike, is said to be creating copious amounts of the main ingredient necessary for the synthesization of dung/fertilizer bombs.

Castle Chronicles IV
WEAPONS / RESEARCH: Lord Androlian has reported the disovery of an adhesive that may solve a number of problems inherent in Lord Dakkarious' ongong weapons research. Whilst climbing a tree to avoid the wrath of the warrior princess Vice Nanaja, Lord Androlian was sapped upon the head. While Lady Emcat professes responsibility for the fortuitious blow which knocked our jester from his perch, Androlian maintains he "slipped on a batch of bat guano." Be that as it may, the sap covering Lord Androlian's hands and hair upon his rather abrupt (and painful) departure from the tree was found to have properties similar to gorilla glue. While Lord Androlian sports a new crew cut, the result of having to cut his sticky fingers loose from his hair, Lord Dakkarious is delighting in expolring the uses to which this adhesive may be put. Our hermetic researcher stepped out from his lab long enough to inform this reporter that our new Sapper Super Glue will undoubtedly be perfect for the attachment of our latest dung bombs to their frisbee disc delivery systems.
