Noah,
First of all, my congratulations to you and Leda - I gotta say, I'm envious of you two!
Second, we'll be there at your party and with gifts in hand for everyone. In fact, Mrs. Jones just put the finishing touches on something special for Helen - you guys will love it!
Next, the Midnight has shown an unusual interest in the birth announcement and has made noises indicating that she wants to see! No worries, you don't have to bring Helen to a hangar or anything like that. Midnight will be happy enough with a live feed off my optics if that's fine by you.
Finally, recent events on our end. Looks like there is no emergency here on our end, so anyone who was holding their breath expecting an inundation of squirrels can relax now. Instead, we have four new additions. I won't take up space here - this belongs to Noah, Leda, and little Helen. ![[Image: banana-dance.gif]](http://www.accessdenied-rms.net/forums/forumimportfiles//banana-dance.gif) If anyone is curious, they need only email myself, Ben or Jess.
That's all for now. Can't wait to see everyone! (^_^)

Noah's busy - Rashid's faxed him some paperwork that has to do with an emergency motion in a Washington court (something about not letting some bureaucrats put Stellvia on the CIA's Watch List), so he's busy reading and signing that and I'm still answering the inbox. He isn't ignoring anyone. In fact, I heard him say an hour ago that he wishes he had the time to ignore anyone; that would mean he has time for something other than the fallout of the declaration.
I'm just glad we let Consul Walker know about this a day ahead of time, so we aren't butting heads with the Oz government as well.
Gina, we have no problem with Midnight wanting to see. That's one reason why we're having the party in Meg's - the room with the really big window. As for the live feed, they're your optics; we have no business telling you what to do or not do with your own body as long as it doesn't hurt anyone, and this doesn't hurt anyone.
What were you doing with squirrels, anyway? (Jake tells me they aren't any good as food, and Kagome tells me they don't make for good pets.)
Yayoi, (still) speaking for StellviaCorp

... Stupid 'Dane bureaucrats... Say the word, Yayoi, and it will be untraceable, yet ostentatious as hell. (Even though I know you won't, I just feel better saying it.)
As for the squirrels... it's kinda silly. Ben insisted on importing some native fauna to make the network of biodomes here more authentic... and I gotta admit, having some woodland creatures here does the trick. And Oliver loves it because he likes chasing the squirrels. Normally, the airlocks don't open for them, except Oliver hacked them so he could herd a squirrel through the passage ways and keep the chase going. Only he got too excited and opened the door going right into Jess's workshop. Ollie's been scolded and grounded from using the networks for a week. Hopefully that will teach him from abusing the privilege.
Now I got to look forward to teach the new girls why it's not a good idea to run around naked. Nothing against Heinleinians, but we got work to do here and there's already too many distractions!

They handwaved a Slinky... er, a "Slankee"..., too. If they get writeups, don't forget to add the "Mads" tag.

Howdy. I'm a little pressed for time with the new season of Naze Nani Fenspace and a couple of commissions, but that still doesn't prevent me from sending this along:
*Shipping tracking tag 2397AST345 -- Planet Express*
For the parents:
Scrapbook material, including a pristine hardcopy of the Kandor Planet-Bugle for October 11, 2014
Gift Certificate to the Cafe Lankhmar and Reservations for Room 451 at the Hotel Bradbury
To Helen: a handbasket
Contains hardtech and guaranteed wave-free baby toys, including a couple licensed NNF Plushies
For the station: a coupon for a security telepresence rig.
Good luck and congratulations!

Start worrying if the HURL's minions turn out to be the Denizens. Then again, I may just import Grue and his kinders and minions instead.
Back on topic, yet still meta, The gift Mrs. Jones cooked up? Well, Momma Jones is big on organic stuff, even if it gets a bit of an assist from the 'Wave. So, it would come as no surprise that she's been experimenting with cotton plants for better yields and improved qualities. The result: Star Cotton, which breaths like Egyptian cotton, warms like wool, and is damn near impervious to anything short of Oliver or a large caliber AP round. It'll even resist fire and corrosive chemicals effectively enough to be used as hazard blankets. Oh, and machine washable, too.
So, Momma Jones's gift is three 100% organic star cotton baby blankets, suitable for swaddling, peekabo, impromptu bed-tents, and even clean up. Yes, that includes the nasty kind, because Momma Jones knows, after dealing with so many children, shit happens.

Eh. The technicolor stuff happens on the southern business end. Up north, it's white and reeking of sour milk until they start on babyfood. That's when you start to hear lines like, "Oh, looks like she had carrots today." Believe me, I know from personal experience, starting from when I was seven to this day (my 3 months old niece is incredibly adorable).
Oh, and 'HURL' can be the more fun nickname.
