What's that?! What's that noise?? Why is my screen flashing?!?" [rises off the floor and stumbles to the screen, rubbing his eyes]. "It's.. Oh.. My, the PERL AI running on freefall has detected a fire in -hackers! Hmmm.. I wonder how bad it is?" [click-clickety-clack-backspace-backspace-backspace-click-click] "Ah. Just a small one..

Yes, the AI makes a good suggestion - I'll just do that." [pulls out a small water pistol and reads aloud from the screen] "Ahem. Hey. You guys. Stop that. OK? It's bad. Thank you. Good Humans." [fires gun at the screen] *squirt* *squirt* *squirt* *squirt* Yours for a kindler, gentler -hackers.. Jordan
