Sorry Oxidan- no time for chit-chat. It's crisis time. The clock's ticking. It's either going to be soon time to wake up or Becky's in danger.
I can't believe one of our members would put her at risk. Therefore, I must conclude that the source of the device must be extra-guild. Further, I think I may've narrowed down the identity of the vigilante and he/she most definitely would never hurt Becky. I also don't think ataak could be involved. She only plays Monday - Thursday.
Oh and Arnie's in trouble, too.
I think I have a good hypothesis for what's going on. ArnoldElfman, the wry Samaritan, happens into Viper's to either hang out with his bro (= put on gimp masks and watch sports) only to happen upon a robbery in progress. A robbery committed by someone who he well knew. That's review. Who else is in the picture?
SmilingFearButts! He of the cold businessman's heart. He of the nigh-eternal state of AFK.. Notice he is not moving. He is not phased by the robbery in progress (blatant robbery should be anathema to business, such things are more seemly under the table). He is comatose. Away from the keyboard. Someone surely knew that, either taking advantage of our good-guy/gal robber's distraction to slip in and set the bomb. But who?
SmilingFearButts surely has plenty of enemies. I mean, he's a businessman, right? But I think there is one more likely candidate for bombardier than any other. Who stands the most to gain from SmilingFearButts' demise? Who seems destined to a position of leadership but is being held back by that statuesque figure mounted atop those many filing cabinets?
Think about it. Is it not in vogue to run government like a business? Could not the federal government of the United States of America use the influx of cash that Business could provide? Is there not a difference in the dream of how the guild should work between SmilingFearButts and BarackObama?
