Shadows

Did we all get head injuries, Iris? What are the odds? You have to be a pretty big moron to get hit in the head with something... Tomorrow's headline reads: "Baritones Killed in Rash of Wrongful Shootings After Concussion Spree"

I can see that. Well, that makes more sense. I wish we had a map of this operation, it's hard to place all the action. Confidentially, it sounds like Johnny has a concussion. Speaking of which, mi cabeza is hurting more as well.

I didn't throw the box, I dropped it on the floor of the truck as I was falling/diving. It was going to be a little surprise for the post-mission party, a case of whiskey I picked up, but now those damn feds have it. I assume you mean the truck we were using to transport everything, since the getaway truck exploding would have killed us. I know I heard the explosion as I ran. You did a good job wiping out the evidence, Alicia, but next time, watch where you're pointing that thing, I think you might have been the one to hit me as I ran around the back of the truck to get away, and now I'm getting a headache. Not as far as I can remember. You remember that, Piav?

I was loading the last box and getting ready to close the back of the truck when the shooting started, so it could have been that. It's really annoying because I wasn't in a good position to see much. Once we started running it was just a glimpse of things passing by quickly until I stopped to catch my breath in that bathroom. I'd really like to know who grazed me so I could return the favour. There is no reason for anyone to have been shooting into the back of the truck unless they were intentionally trying to kill me.

That's pretty close to what I recall. I don't think I actually fell out of the truck as much as jumped to avoid gunfire, which is when I was grazed by a bullet, just above the ear. I have a feeling it would have been the end of me if I hadn't jumped so quickly. I'm a little surprised that the feds would try to kill us at this point after always seeming to just want to capture us, so it could have been someone within the operation who took the shot, accidentally or intentionally, I don't know. There was a lot of gunfire out there. When we split up, I ran through the park and into a bathroom where I noticed the blood, caught my breath and then headed back to report in to Iris while trying to avoid being caught. Pretty basic stuff. I did see what looked like smashed electronics on the ground as we ran through, but I have no way to be sure where it came from. I assume the rat dropped it, which may mean we're finally at an advantage if the feds can't listen in.

25! I remember like it was only yesterday. Well, day before yesterday. Fine, it's been a while. Have a great one, friend!

I for one feel lucky to have gotten out of there alive, they've clearly upped the ante a bit when they start taking headshots at us. Stupid bastards. That's the only funny part of this whole day. What happened is one of you ratted us out, which I guess shouldn't be too much of a surprise at this point. Beyond that, I'm not going into detail yet. I'd like to see what everyone has to say for themselves.

Obviously exact dimensions must exist, but I don't know them. Keep in mind that it'll take 2 decals per arm because of the bend at the elbow and the fact that the upper arm is larger than the lower arm.

He looks pretty good and I like the way you adapted my torso decal to do the legs. As for the arms, I would have imagined they would be about the same size as the legs you made, all you can really do though is print a few sizes and see how close it can get. I'd suggest wrapping them starting under the arm so it meets where it isn't likely to be seen.

Mis testículos! Huh? Nevermind. Hostile in here today... I don't care if we go to the bedroom or the kitchen, but let's go somewhere, this is getting boring.

That's simply the LEGO logo, which encompasses the entire production line of TLG and is made to be used in specific ways to brand items as part of their corporate distribution. Any time they refer to their corporate entity, they say "The LEGO Group", but they still use individual names for some of the divisions. Checking the side of a 2009 SW set, I see mention of LEGO Systems, Inc (USA), LEGO Canada, Inc, and LEGO Mexico S.A. de C.V. On the opposite side of the package, it states: "LEGO, the LEGO logo and the Minifigure are trademarks of the/sont des marques de commerce de/son marcas registradas de LEGO Group. ©2009 The LEGO Group. I'm too lazy to pull out a European package to give the equivalent information from it, but depending on location, it should give a more localized name for the company yet still ultimately refer to them as The LEGO Group. I'd be curious to know the history of that usage and at what stages it has changed. Again, I'm too lazy to go digging out a box from the 90's, 80's, 70's or 60's to find out, but at some point, I may add that information. True enough.

Who's splitting hairs now? We like our threads open, we're an open community. It's nice to give people the opportunity to reply, they might have something meaningful to add like a funny anecdote about what TLG is called in their country or a lesson in the history of the company. Hopefully, they won't just use it as a chance to yet again gripe that a topic shouldn't be open. That gets so tiresome.

Yes, the pain of lost potential. *stands and dusts himself off, then removes the now crushed packet of Planter's lightly roasted and unsalted peanuts from his pocket* That wasn't very nice at all, young lady. I'd forgotten I was saving those and they would have been just lovely with that ice cream we're supposed to be going after. As for the rest of your nonsense, I was just being a polite gentleman and offering to escort you to the next room that requires examination. Max, might I escort you to the bedroom?

I just collectively call the company, in all it's various international forms, LEGO, as in, "look at this new set from LEGO," or "why doesn't LEGO make a dark bley fedora?" Seriously... dark bley fedora. It's a natural, but I digress. As usual. I bet they'd hate just being called LEGO, given their insistence that we call them LEGO bricks or LEGO brand building toys or whatever. Does anybody even do that, and how quickly will this turn into a LEGO vs LEGOs debate? I'll tell you how quickly... it won't! Don't do it, people! It's LEGO. End of story. It's just you.

The Vong. Bastards killed Chewie. I'd take some SotE (Shadows of the Empire) or Thrawn era though, in a heartbeat. I already have my Thrawn, Daala and Ysard torso decals done, plus a stock part version of both Mara Jade and Kyle Katarn. I'm convinced that Dash Rendar and LE-BO2D9 should be easy. Even TLG gave them a little love with their Outrider alternate instructions for the minifig ISD.

Isn't the bedroom just behind a door? Am I getting lost again? You know, am I the only one who thinks it a bit odd that a house would be built with a bedroom and attic only accessible by a secret passage? These dragon people are a bunch of nutters. Without sprinkles on top. *takes Sandy's hand* To the bedroom?

A job for today? Sounds good. Might give us all a chance to take our minds off our problems and just do some good old fashioned mob work. With sprinkles on top?

With sprinkles on top?

The only thing I can think is that if anyone has a secret night action, they can't do it nightly and got lucky that you checked when they were home. Either that or they're trying to be careful and figured you would check on them. Keep checking people every night, at random, something has to turn up. Something has to be out of place. It only takes one mistake and we can wrap up this whole nightmare. Tinypius Iris? Oh geez, that would be particularly evil. No, I believe it's true, it makes good sense for them to have some way to turn us, though I don't really know why they would tip their hand and let Dragonateri know about it. That part has always bugged me, he seems to have found out almost immediately.

Dammit all to hell! We kill a rat, we lose a loyal family member. AGAIN! IT'S THAT BIRD, I TELL YOU! Since day 1, he's been there watching, he watched Tony die, he was spying on the first operation and now he's there when Adalaide joins her lost husband in the great hereafter and I swear, our security tape makes it look like he tripped her! SOMEONE KILL THAT BIRD! You know, I really have suspected that bird since Tony died. I've told some of you, I think I've even mentioned it during the days. But enough of that... We've got serious business to take care of today. As I recall, Iris warned us that something bad will happen if we don't deal with this problem today, and I for one am sick of bad things happening to us. Let's get this job done! Who has any idea how we do that?
