In Absentia

Father is currently gone, trying to research something or other in the jungles of Louisiana, leaving me alone in the bunker. It started out all right, and there were plenty of nice guys to talk to, then GIR went off with Steve and it all went wrong.

First there was coming in Monday morning to find that all the koi fish had died sometime over the weekend, during that heat wave we had. It was not pleasant.

Then, worst of all, was that horrible experience in the kitchen. Captain Gin asked me to help out with a new dish, I can't remember quite what it was, except it was flambe something. One thing led to another and all of a sudden I was on fire! My lovely, lovely hair, up in flames!

Now I'm stuck here with GIR and GIR won't stop asking me about my hair. Ugh. Father needs to get back and he needs to get back now.
