Plague

I should probably explain my absence from various events like ICS, the OCESS debrief, and the Hybrid tournament over the last couple of days.
The exciting explanation is that I was abducted by aliens while fleeing pursuing Roman soldiers, then dropped back where I came from; although it felt like a few seconds of flight, relativistic effects meant that I missed a full day of events.
The boring explanation is that I was too sick to do much of anything besides complain about being sick, eat applesauce, throw up, and sleep.

It is your prerogative to determine which of the above is the better explanation.
