It could, of course, be the case that this is an extremely slow and stealthy sort of grid attack, whereby trams and trains slowly build in frequency until they <em>take over the world</em>. I have to say though that, certainly on my part, the Grid attacks my trams far more often than my trams attack the Grid.

I'm suspecting that our Transportation Recovery Mechanisms may have been mistaken for something else by the gridmonkeys* during the attack recovery last week. That said, the tram rezzer and the train rezzer (which had been returned also) would probably be the among most ineffectual grid threats ever known, vying for the title with another top contender, the unscripted half meter cube. *Gridmonkey: A quasimythic creature with Godlike Powerz, typically a Force of Good that comes around and sorts out problems that are beyond the toolset or ken of most folk in the Metaverse. I met one once; his name was Steve. Hmm…
