Directly opposite the deck from Øyvind, the better-aimed jet of water from Starkweather's team pushed the flames away from the edge of the ship and drove the blaze on the pier to cower backwards with a hiss. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Job (the tortured one).

We're happy to have you here with us, OtS! I'm sorry to hear about your grandma. I had a grand-dad who was like a father to me, and he passed away about 5 years ago. I still think about him, and the memories live on. I hope that we all have a wonderful 2008! Job.
