There seems to have been an unfortunate accident involving Mr. Bohnenberger's DNA and a Sectoid cloning facility on a remote planet within the outer rim of the galaxy. Apparently, one of the cloning technicians was trying to install Quake III onto the lab computer after hours and corrupted the system mainframe. The computer promptly locked the facility down, and due to some bizzare quirk of programming, began to churn out endless copies of Bohnenbergers. The Sectoids, unable to regain control of the system, escaped by shuttle to orbit, where they remotely destroyed all means of leaving the planet, hoping the system would wear out and all of the Bohnenbergers would eventually starve to death. Alas, it is now five years later and there are millions of Bohnenbergers roaming the surface, and the cloning vats are still in operation. It appears the Bohnenbergers, after originally resorting to cannabilism for food, have implimented massive farms, and maintained the cloning vats. The Sectoids have tried to go back and destroy the cloning facility, and release poisons into the atmosphere to exterminate this race of dentists, but it seems that the Bohnenbergers have devloped their own space fleet, based on designs from the Sectoid libraries, and driven off the intruders. Fortunately, they as yet do not have the capability of Faster Than Light travel, but surely, it will not remain this way for long. Long range sensors have spied enormous warships, shaped like all manner of horrific dental instruments, being assembled in orbit. It won't be long, I fear, before great Needle and Drill class battlecruisers appear in the skies above the Sectoid core cities, their intentions unknown... I pity poor Wowbagger. Can you imagine the horror of a planet full of portly, mustachioed dentists, all peering into one another's ears? And then having to individually insult every one of them? That was why he asked me to insult Mr. Bohnenberger for him... he couldn't stand to come face to face with the human who's DNA started all of this misery. So, as you can see, it will be a long time until Wowbagger can resume his rounds, and unless the cloning vats should cease operation, perhaps not ever. So, if you would like, Shaun, perhaps I could insult you in his stead? -- Ethereal Bob Tertiary Adjunct to the Sec. Cmdr., Sol Invasion Fleet Motor Pool Ethereal Spy and Saboteur
