FED2 STAR BACK AFTER UNSCHEDULED BREAK
by Hazed
I had every intention of producing an issue of the Star last weekend, but I was stymied by the lack of newsdroids. All three of them were absent from the office, without any warning and certainly without asking my permission.
It turned out that as relatively new droids they should have been given their MMR shots, vaccinations against Mechanical, Mould and Rust, but that didn’t happen. The manufacturer thought that I as their new owner would take care of this, and I thought the company would do it as part of their regular monitoring. The droids themselves kept quiet because they are, it turns out, afraid of needles!
Consequently they contracted a nasty Martian mould infection that left them unable to leave their droidholes for several days.
They are all better now, and I’ve made an appointment for them to go and get their jabs next week. They will just have to get over their phobia.
