Reports have been coming in of a Mod MIA - and though the details are not independently verified, USMB intelligence has confirmed the abduction, by aliens, of Flacaltenn. Hostage negotiations took place, and with a lot of persuasion, and a heavy bribe paid up front in Hersheys Peppermint White Chocolate Kisses, we've ransomed Flack back.
However, the aliens have impregnated him. Yes, our beloved flacaltenn is pregnant. We don't know exactly how long an alien pregnancy lasts, when the birth is expected or - indeed, if he'll lay eggs and have to hatch them.
For the time being, he will be laying low, popping in and out, but we expect his return at some point, and hopefully back on staff. In the meantime - please send him messages of encouragement!!!!
