Dakota Hoofington fidgets with her com. Why the hell haven’t new missions posted?
Dakota is an ambitious calf, she’s out here in Charybdis to make a name and a living for herself but since signing on with Unizone it feels like she’s spent all her time in a backwater dive watching space lobsters die from soup poisoning.
“Duck, run a diagnostic on your com relay, reception sucks in here.”
Duck laughs and passes Dakota a basket of overcooked bluefish sticks.
“Kid, have a happy Bluefish Day. Don’t bet on the slug races.”
Ding! - Dakota’s com finally updates.
UNIZONE CORPORATION
"Connecting The Universe, one shipment at a time."
Valued Unizone Partner,
We would like to remind you that new missions will be postponed until tomorrow. Today we celebrate Bluefish Day in accordance with the intergalactic remembrance of Dr. Theophrastus Moose, noted illustrator and author.
The importance of literacy can not be understated and we hope you will spend to day reading, writing and reflecting on the universal truth.
Reguards,
Unizone Headquarters
Dakota is not happy. She resolves to celebrate this day of literacy by betting on the slug races and drinking heavily.
If you would like to bet on the slug races, please select a slug, a b2.0 fee for each bet will be automatically charged to your Unizone account regardless of your current balance. You may place up to b10.0 worth of bets and the bets may be placed on multiple slugs or a single slug.

SYSTEM NOTE
It has been brought to my attention that the Round 1 thread locked early. This slug race is a stall/extension. If you haven’t submitted your Round 1 mission selection, you have a short window. Let’s say 6pm AKST (7pm PST). Just drop them in this thread along with the slug bets.
Slug Races will resolve later in the week. 3/5/15 @ 10am AKST.
@codinghorror Please lock this thread at 10am AKST (11am PST) Thursday, March 5th. Also, I’m not sure if there’s a hitch in the auto-thread-lockenator but it appears to have locked early last time.
