Doctor's Log

September 25, 2004

The Lockdown officially ended today. The story is that the high brass forced Hawk to end it. But Duke told me later that Hawk had seen the ghost last night. He won't actually admit it though. Duke also told me that General Hawk had also brought someone in to take care of the ghost. But only he, Flint, and I know that. Hawk took extra care to make sure that no one knew he believed in the ghost. Anyway, I guess that's the end of that. I'd still like to know why a ghost suddenly started to haunt the PIT, and who it was. Oh well. I suppose the mystery of the ghost will forever remain unsolved.

I guess watching The Wizard of Oz yesterday had an unfortunate consequence for Firewall. She'd had a very weird dream (I'd consider it a nightmare.) that she told us. It was something like The Matrix meets The Wizard of Oz. From what she remembered, the dream started out like The Matrix, except that a tornado hit the PIT and she was sucked into her laptop.

When she had "woken up", she was in a very twisted Oz. She was Dorothy, and D.C. my cat was with her in Toto's place. Apparently Dusty, Beach Head, and Gung Ho had taken the places of the Scare Crow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion. As if that wouldn't be weird enough, I was the "good witch," Cobra Commander was the "bad witch", General Hawk was the Wizard, and the Dreaknoks were the Munchkins. Now to me, that definitely is a nightmare.

Oh, and instead of ruby slippers she had ruby combat boots.

I guess Roadblock gave the cake to William and Kamakara. He gave Duke something too, but I'm not sure what. I hear that Snake Eyes and Jinx tried to con the cake off of them, but the two of them ran off with it before anyone could attempt to steal it.

As you can imagine, Hawk did release everyone from the brig. But he put all ten of them on probation. I believe right now he's got the mutineers cleaning the Motor Pool. Hawk told them that it had to be spotless.

Oh great, Firewall's started up her hacking lessons again. Dammit.
