Dear Laura,
I have a more than slight problem. There's this Grendel, who is my best friend, called Nick. There's also this female Grendel, called Meg, who has been hitting me for fun a lot lately. I'd ask the Hand, but he said something about a 'Wolfling Run' or something like that. Well, Nick and Meg started dating, and I told Nick that he could do SO much better for himself. Normally, this would be okay, except he TOLD Meg, and now she wants to kill me. I am currently hiding in the airlock and Meg is pounding on the door. She hasn't left for a whole day. Should I just make it easy and push the big button?

Dear Sue Ellen,
I do wonder how some of you still manage to write to me when you're in life threatening and secluded locations. Are you using the Ark's 'Flitter' network to send this message by means of social butterflies?
Anyway; you should only push that big button when the other creature is inside the airlock. However, I prefer solutions that don't resort to Grendicide, so instead, use the airlock's intercom to fool Meg into thinking you?re hiding elsewhere. She'll go off looking for you, giving you the chance to escape and seek out Nick for protection. Given that he's Meg's boyfriend, I?m sure he'll be able to reason with her and help you both settle your differences... without you getting a black eye in the process. A Grendel's nature means that their love life can be rather turbulent, so it's probably safer to leave them to it in future!
