Carmady Carmichael: Your appointment to NAF should be finalized within the week. I've already discussed the matter with the Referee.

Telence D'Arby: I take it he was agreeable?

Carmady Carmichael: He didn't really have a choice.

Telence D'Arby: Has he been injured?

Carmady Carmichael: Oh yes, most certainly. When I mentioned we could put him on the priority list for the apothecary, he was so willing it was almost pathetic.

Telence D'Arby: These injuries -- the rioting is intensifying to the point where we may not be able to contain it.

Carmady Carmichael: Why contain it? Let it spill over into the dugouts and stadiums, let the bodies pile up in the lines of scrimmage. In the end, they'll beg us to save them.

Telence D'Arby: I've received reports of blitzes on shipments. There's not enough apothecaries to go around, and the linemen are starting to get desperate.

Carmady Carmichael: Of course they're desperate. They can smell their deaths, and the sound they'll make rattling their cages will serve as a warning to the rest.

Telence D'Arby: Hmm. I hope you're not underestimating the problem. The others may not go as quietly as you think -- intelligence indicates they're behind the problems in the end zone.

Carmady Carmichael: A bunch of pretentious old players playing at the running game. But the world left them behind long ago. We are the future.

Telence D'Arby: We have other problems.

Carmady Carmichael: Blodgers?

Telence D'Arby: Formed by executive order after the terrorist blitz on the ball-carrier. I have someone in place though. I'm more concerned about Big Guy -- he's relocated to center field.

Carmady Carmichael: Our SPP-farming corpus is far in advance of theirs, as is our Ganging Up, and their... ethical inflexibility has allowed us to make progress in areas they refuse to consider.

Telence D'Arby: The reroll project?

Carmady Carmichael: Among other things -- but I must admit that I've been somewhat disappointed in the performance of the primary player.

Telence D'Arby: The secondary player should be online soon. He's currently undergoing preparations and should be operational within six months. My people will continue to report on his progress. If necessary, the primary will be fouled.

Carmady Carmichael: We've had to endure much, you and I, but soon there will be order again, a new age. Nuffle spoke of the mythical Unbeatable Team. Soon that team will be a reality, and we will be crowned its Star Players. Or better than Star Players. Coaches.
