Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

A few people asked for the followup to the previous omake, which I hadn't intended to do, but then I couldn't sleep so I knocked it out quickly just for fun ;)
“Six months. I’ve been in this job for six months and already we’ve just found out that one of the most prolific serial killers in US...
Have a little seasonally appropriate light horror... ;)
I'm not saying this is canon, because it mostly isn't, but I'm not saying it's not possibly a hint at future directions the story could, just maybe, go...

I just realized that I forgot that I'd posted this story here, and as such didn't put my Halloween Omakes in this thread. I shall rectify that problem immediately!
Threadmarks: 18. The bay is pretty in the morning...

Taylor leaned on the railing at the end of the wharf, looking out into the bay. The tide was high and the day was calm and hot, the water mirror-still and reflecting the early-morning sun onto the various buildings near the shoreline. The underside of several of the huge gray...

Captain Rosenberg closed the door to his temporary office, locked it, made sure the blinds were down, then pulled a small device out of his pocket and turned it on, putting it on the desk which he then sat behind.
“Bug jammer,” he said when Leroy looked at the thing them him...
There we go. They're out of order in the thread, but in the correct order as far as threadmarks and chapter numbers go. I'll try to be more careful in future :)
Edit: The way threadmarks get set here is a little weird, as they don't seem to come in the order I originally marked the chapters...

“Hi, Kenny,” Taylor chirped as soon as the weird sensation of transportation to her friend’s crew compartment stopped. It only lasted a really short time, she knew, since he’d told her and even showed her video of it, but it felt longer. Not painful or even really that...
Ah.
This is embassassing... :oops:
In my initial copying of this story from SV, I managed to miss one chapter, which I only just discovered as I was numbering them!
Whoops.
Anyway, I'm posting the missing one here and will threadmark it in the right order, assuming I can, as well as give...

Danny looked around, wondering where his daughter had got to this time. “Hey, Kurt, you seen Taylor and the others recently?” he asked as he walked into one of the workshops, spotting his old friend standing next to a milling machine talking to the operator of it. Both of them...
Having watched my commander with great interest since we met, I have made some useful discoveries concerning human children that my database was somewhat ambiguous about. I have almost endless reams of information about the psychological makeup of humans, the ways in which they can malfunction...

“So what do we have?”
“Very little.” The other FBI agent turned to his colleague, friend, and superior. “The cleanup was very thorough indeed. All the brass recovered was either from the various Merchant weapons, or those of the police. Nothing found that isn’t linked to any of...
Still August 6th, 2005, but later that night...
Sean Sorenson went into the office and closed the door behind him, having locked up after the last customer of the shop had left. He turned to the alarm console and prodded buttons, evoking a number of beeps and a chorus of clunks around the...

“Hi, Pat, how’s things?” Danny said cheerfully as he held the door to The Captain’s Table open for his daughter, who followed him in and looked around with interest. A number of the regulars greeted him with shouts and calls of good humor, one or two doing the same to Taylor...
“Halt! You have entered a protected zone with lethal intent. Leave immediately or you will be subdued. Personal injury is a high likelihood if you resist capture. You have thirty seconds to comply with my orders.”
Everyone stopped and stared, even Kaiser and Armsmaster, who had been engaged in...
No, not at all. I've just been concentrating on other things such as work and my other stories. I am planning on doing more on it in the relatively near future though. And I don't log in here very often at the moment, so my apologies for the delay in replying.
