=/\= Stardate 97020.9 =/\=
News travels quickly; SNN UPDATE doesn't. At least, normally it doesn't. But seeing as how today marks the third SNN UPDATE in ten days, well . . . OK, maybe it's not cause for celebration. Or air raid signals. The real point of this all is, of course, that a lot has been happening lately, and SNN UPDATE has met to the demand for inaccurate reporting, following our lesser-known Journalistic Slogan, "All The News That's Fit To Misprint."
=/\= NEWS
Last week we told you about Mike "Are you guys counting your chickens early?" Barclay's sudden reappearance in STF, and boy has it been a stunning one! With the ease of one with the knowledge of what makes STF tick, he has integrated himself into STF's great political debates with ease. These debates mostly center around Randy's abscence and Greg's ascension to the Presidency, and can be found in the Prez offices and the "STF - ELECT-A-PREZ" subject. Barclay himself is the ex-CO of the Trinitron, FC of Fleet Two, EDirector, and probably some other fun things also. Having started out as a lowly LtC. Dept. head on the Trinitron, he worked his way up to Admiral before mysteriously disappearing around January 1996.
Second on the list of strange reappearances is Sue "Doesn't like when people fight" Isik, better known as former Captain Jolanne Jaxa. She has reappeared just to say hi, it seems, and, like Mike "Da Popa" Barclay, hasn't requested a reinstatement as an STF member yet. She says that she isn't planning on coming back yet, but one can always hope. . . .
On the lighter side recently, the Starfleet Academy Awards continued yesterday with the award "Most Dramatic Overuse of an Exclamation Point" to Greg "Well thank you Nick!" Hertzsch for his post-election posting frenzy. The Prez-Elect has become famous lately for his habit of ending each sentance with either a question mark or an exclamation point. Example: In one three-line note, there were five exclamation points. Also, there was one question mark. Is there an end to the madness?
Speaking of heir apparent Greg "I have it arranged!" Hertzsch, he apparently has arranged a Secret Plan for smuggling Commander Rebbeca "Guess what? I'm leaving." Juarez back into $P and, therefore, into STF. It's a secret, though, so he won't tell us -- but it doesn't involve tacking her on as a "B-F" member. Apparently, he's already filled those with other STFers! <g> We'll keep you posted.
Last week we had a CHAT meet with Jen Lynn "Hello Farthead" Long of STC. Turnout was, to be diplomatic, pathetic. I don't blame anyone, though, as the event was given less than 14 hours of publicity. In any event, the attendees included SNN UPDATE (Mike), Aaron "Great guy, that APD is" Holland, Jen Long, and, later, Greg H. The one topic discussed seriously was a merger between STF and STC, which has only 5 members and yet 3 ships. Jen has been spotted since then hanging out around SNN Center ("STF - CNN OF STF").
=/\= SNN UPDATE
is published whenever Mike "Don't send one of those twerps" Ballway feels like it. In this case, 7 days after the last one. In any event, we follow the Journalistic Motto of "Quick, Informative, Totally Biased Reporting of STF Events" and are most definitely not members of the International Assosciation To Overthrow Governments Worldwide And Create Economic, Social, Political, Socio-Economic, Econo-Political, Socio-Political, and Generally Not Good Anarchic Chaos (IATOGWACESPSESGNCAC). We'd tell you some more, except that we're out of space. Letters should go by Email to Mike "bwsc65c" Ballway
