=/\= SNN UPDATE =/\=
=/\= Stardate 96012.7 =/\=
Hiya there folks, and welcome back to your only place for around-the-clock fact-filled totally biased reporting! Today's show is, unfortunately, somewhat deprived in the "news" department, due to a startling lack of anything noteworthy lately, but we've tried to make up for that deficiency by putting in a big trivia section. So please, guys, go out there and do something. Make Fearless Leader Cathcart proud. Or, if you don't feel up to that, make Den "The not-so-fearless as Cathcart" Hannigan proud.
=/\= NEWS
Once again the Officer's Council is surprising us with sudden fits of un-OC-like action. For example, our special political correspondent ("Pete") tells us that -- gasp! -- there is a bill on the floor (other than the Domino's one) and -- get ready to be stunned again -- there is a healthy debate about it. The Bill ("001-96") is about, says Pete, setting a standard for the Stardate system and for other things pertaining to the mechanics of this Club.
If you will remember the last issue, our other main story was about the Engineering Department. And lo-and-behold, that part of STF Command is seeing some action as well! SNN's technical correspondant (another "Pete") tells us the story: The ED, headed by the triumvirate of Director Velos "TrinBaby" Larech, Commodore Mike "Still CE" Ballway, and Dockmaster Randy "Without the ability to move, where would we be?" E. McCullick. The biggest debate down there -- from what I can tell -- is what ship will be upgraded to what, when this is going to happen, what kind of ships will be used, and if STF will ever have a ship bigger than the Dreadnought Nimitz-Class. OK, four debates.
Who's seen Velos' "help the club" Infomercials? <vvvbg> Seriously, folks, the guy's got his heart in the right place . . . If you have the time, please do drop by "STF RECRUITING" and see if you can help out. Pretty soon I'll be posting the STF Crew List over this channel, and if you don't want your ship looking as bad as the Connie looks now, go out and recruit . . . Make Uncle Den Proud.
I don't know what you feel, but I'm getting tired of not hearing from Mike C. Now that we have strong leadership in the ED from Velos, and from Grand Poo-Bah Hannigan, the Command Void seems smaller . . . but still . . . does anyone know who our Veep is? We need a leader. If it's Barcbutt, then it's no wonder we have a silent presidency.

=/\= SNN UPDATE
is published every once in a while by Cdre Mike "So I write the thing, so shoot me" Ballway. Mike's views are not necessarily those of the SNN Management (Mike C.) and are most likely not those of the STF Management (Mike C.). SNN UPDATE is distributed, hopefully, to every ship and follows the Journalistic Motto of "Quick, Informative, Totally Biased Reporting of STF Events." If you have a complaint, stuff it. Seriously, any comments, complaints, trivia answers, or Random Thoughts on Unladen Swallows should be emailed to the Publisher/Writer
Cdre. Mike "bwsc65c@prodigy.com" Ballway, Editor-In-Chief
