Paging CosmicTrader, if you see this please drop in!

[Thalstan]

Police knock on my door...
Are you Mr XYZ?
....yes
Are you also known online as "Thalstan"?
...yeeesss?
Your friends in (looks at notes) "TEST Squadron - Best Squardon!" (did I write that down wrong?) are worried about you because you haven't logged in for 2 weeks. They just wanted to be sure you are still alive.
....FUDGE. Sorry officer I've (select one...had Covid, was on vacation, had to deal with a death in the family, got burned out and took a break...etc.). Tell them you found me. Mutter mutter mutter...
What was that?
...Nothing officer, just plotting in my head. (after all, I do know where Montoya will be during CitizenCon) Sorry, officer just frustrated. Have a great day (and no, I would not do anything in reality)
Thanks, and make sure you tell your friends you are okay. We have gotten over 22 thousand calls and real emergencies can't get through. Oh, and whoever put in the name should have run spell checker...Have a good day.
One more thing...you forgot to list Thalstan on your application for TSA pre-check as an alias...the feds will be here tomorrow to arrest you...

CIG already delayed 4.0 release most likely because Cosmic isn't actively testing. He better come back soon. These CIG clowns are lost without him

 

[Montoya]

I put out a line on twitter in the off chance that somebody there has something we can use.

Going into 5 weeks now, this is not looking good.

 

[Shadow Reaper]

I thought someone said a couple weeks ago they knew him irl and would check on him. What’s up with that?

 

[Thalstan]

Montoya,

is there anyway this post could be pinned to the top of the forum and the active thread page?

that way we don’t lose it…

 

[Montoya]

Nobody here has met him IRL.

He kept to himself and was very private with his personal information.

Even those closest to him like Archie did not have his personal information.

 

[Montoya]

Im going to get some information today, somebody is going to swing by the last known address we managed to find.

Hopefully it turns up something, has anyone been keeping tabs on obituaries from known spots by chance as well for worst case scenarios?

Ive been going through obituaries and can't find anything. Closest match turned out not be our guy which was a relief.

 

[Uncle Gary]

I guess that means you know his real name. Cosmic is a super great guy. Hope he is ok.

 

[Montoya]

I have news.

Good and bad..

Good, he is alive..

Bad, there was a house fire. We don't know the extent of his injuries, but it seems to be smoke inhalation and not burns.

Thats a relief, while smoke inhalation is terrible at least some oxygen can help relieve symptoms and get one back on their feet.

 

[LurchLord]

That is more good news than bad news, on average, and as such, I will mark this down as a win.

 

[BUTUZ]

Jeees he is alive thank got for that. Well done Montoya.

 

[Talonsbane]

I'm thankful that he's alive & predominantly alright physically. I believe that I'm not alone in praying that he was alright & that we'd hear back from him when possible. I know that I'm not alone in having very positive thoughts about him as a person based on various online interactions that I've read &/or participated in, and that we are looking forward to him being back in contact with us while he further recovers.

 

[NaffNaffBobFace]

Reassuring to hear he's still out there bar hoppin' and city boppin', best wishes for a swift recovery.

All thanks to our TESTie who acted on behalf of the GLORY of TEST to bring us this update, much appreciated.

 

[Thalstan]

while it’s awful that a house fire occurred and that he was injured, it’s a lot better than the alternative of him being gone.
@CosmicTrader I hope you get better soon and are able to resolve things and get back on your feet. Take your time and let us know if we can help.

All in all, it could be a lot worse. I'm glad the old chap is alright.

 

[Mudhawk]

@Montoya Impressive tenacity on your part. Nice to know how much you care for your flock.
@CosmicTrader I hope you get well soon and that your insurance covers all damages. Im looking forward to see you back in the Verse at one point.

 

[Thugari]

if there was a fire, does he need anything? clothes, food, shelter, computer?
