\"Mink\"<\/a>Amras and I had pretty much settled into the fact that if we wanted to play COD, we were just going to play with each other; it\u2019s surprisingly difficult to find players onboard sometimes, and Predator has left ships so there\u2019s no way he could end up with us\u2026<\/p>\n

However, much to our mutual surprise, one of the new \u2018Cats that joined yesterday (whom we both know from a previous contract), is<\/em> a gamer. A really good<\/em> gamer. Once he got a hold of the version of the game we played, we officially had a new recruit.<\/p>\n

And Mink got dragged out of semi-retirement. Although, it was with conditions; last night after rehearsal there was immediate talk of a game after the welcome aboard party, and just as I took a breath to say something, it was Amras who stepped into save me<\/p>\n

Thing is, Shaughnessy has really early mornings and really long days for a crossing\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

Oooh?<\/em><\/p>\n

Yeah, he\u2019s right. I\u2019ve got eleven hour days straight through to Hawai\u2019i; means I\u2019m either dead to the world by 10pm, or I\u2019m in a place where I need to work off some aggression, depends on the day.<\/em><\/p>\n

Fair enough.<\/em><\/p>\n

And it\u2019s true, sometimes I really just don\u2019t want to see anyone at the end of the day, not even Amras. Last night though, we figured it would be a decent idea to at least try a test game; which led to the usual exchanges during the game.<\/p>\n

What?! But! You dropped, I saw you go down!<\/em><\/p>\n

Welcome to last stand my friend!<\/em><\/p>\n

And you? How are YOU still alive?<\/em><\/p>\n

Juggernaut baby\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

Oh yeah, Mink, you have to take Mink down in one shot, otherwise\u2026she\u2019ll probably take you down with her.<\/em><\/p>\n

Okay, so it deprives me of a bit of sleep, but it\u2019s fair to say I have missed my little tension release.<\/p>\n
