Yes, the server shat upon the linens yesterday.  I don't know the details, but I believe the inverse warp manifold injectors got polarized by the negative plasma couplers which resulted in everything going wonky.

A crack squad of engineers (or was that an squad of engineers on crack?) were dispatched to stand around looking at large pieces of rolled up paper:



Eventually they realized it was a server issue, and not something wrong with the building being built next door and an investigation was started.



After exhaustive hours of research, it was determined that servers don't fit in test tubes, so they started looking at something else.

In the end, the culprit was located.



The problem was solved.



And now we are back.  Any questions?

Just one.  What really happened?  Seeing as the warp manifold injectors are meant to be polarised by the negative plasma couplers!  Bad Def telling fibs  :twak:

Did Mavis unplug the server to plug the floor polisher in ... again? ::)
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.
