Unit Savior
- Dana Zuhlke (Telnor)
- Michael Turek - Savior of Norwall Warren. He
stepped in and kept the unit together when RL and writers block

died from lack of interest if he hadn't rallied the other writers
to do their bit to keep things ticking over until I could write
again.

Hoover, and Arlene Jacobs

(Arlene)
- USS JAVELIN -- to Traci, Mike Santone, and
