GPF Archive: Sunday, August 29, 2004 [[Three geeks in ties stand in front of old tape drives]] / Scott: The genesis of the brotherhood was humble enough.

GPF Archive: Monday, August 30, 2004 [[Robed members of the brotherhood stand in conversation]] / Scott: The prophecy of the one was not well received.

His skills have also surpassed...
GPF Archive: Saturday, September 4, 2004 [[Scott, Tim, and Patty follow Fooker to the kitchen]] / Scott: The first and easiest test is his consumption of caffeine.

Timothy, send him the e-mail I forwarded to you. / Tim: On it. / Fooker: Huh... already got mail. That's odd... it seems to be some sort of odd code. It could be encrypted, or some...
