More importantly Tofu, who cares?

Actually Tofu, it would be quote="Darth Tofu" all inside of brackets ([, ]), then paste your text and then you'll have a . SO, it would look like this (just without the spaces): [ quote="DarthTofu" ]Insert text here. Also please note the '*' that appears at the end of Tofu's quote. That was added so as to make things appear mostly correct. @Scath: I've still been following, I've just refrained from posting b/c I know that if I post something about this topic I WILL get excited and then it will bleed through and someone will get offended. I don't need that here. I do that enough to people that I see face to face. I don't need to do it to the members of this forum. I like it here. I know other people like it here. Aside from good natured ribbing aimed at Tofu I don't want to do anything here that may be taken as offensive to someone who doesn't really know me.

The guy who's talking.

Because it's the desert and you're liable to die if you don't prepare properly. On top of that the heat shimmer would probably cause you to get lost.

Mitth woke at last to the sound of complete and total silence. He showered, shaved and got dressed. He then left his quarters and headed for his office. On his way he decided that he should talk to Defender_16. When he got to his office he called D16's quarters. When no one answered he left a voicemail. "Defender, this is Mitth. Can you either call me or come to my office at your earliest convenience? I want to talk about the engagement with the Stupidity." After that was done, Mitth checked his email. There he found Intel reports from both Scath and Krytos; also there was a general message from D16. So FURBALL is a gentleman. Now how can we use this? As he was thinking about that he pulled up D16's general message. Moriarty. Moriarty. If Moriarty has survived this long, who's to say Holmes hasn't as well? Mitth made a not to look into that when he had a spare minute. He then decided to place a call to Darth_Tex. Here he also got transferred to voicemail. "This is Major Mitth_raw_nuruodo. I'm calling to find out what happened after I left the Command Center during the Stupidity engagement. Did we get Tofu or did he somehow manage to escape? Please contact me when you get the time."

All's I can say is 'wow'.

Nope. Bored. Losing what little bit of my mind I have left. Never high though. I was just saying that I didn't find your joke to be funny. Then I shared something that I learned at a comedy/acting workshop that I went to back in HS. Perhaps I should have mentioned that in the last post.

No Tofu. We don't have to admit it's funny. I didn't find it to be so. I won't say that it wasn't funny, bc no one should ever say that. If you don't think something is funny, say 'I don't think that's funny.' Don't say 'That's not funny.'

OK. I won't waste anymore of anyone's time with my personal opinions on this topic. I won't change anyone's mind and no one will change mine, so I'll drop out of the discussion now.

I seem to be working as a bad example... Anyway, I refuse to believe that your High School did not have a World History/ World Cultures class. Its a requirement for graduation, for pity's sake! You must have had one, you just can't recall it or something... I dunno... But you had to have had a world cultures class... And religous studies/ IHum classes are optional- my sister is a freshmen at Stanford and is taking and IHum class, so there. YOu're just different from everyone else, Mitth I've had a problem with 'open-mouth, insert-foot' longer than I've been a member of the forum. Also, Illinois DOESN'T require those classes for graduation. I know because I graduated and I didn't take any of those classes. Yes, Tofu. I am different. I'm happy that I'm different. I thrive on it. It's in my blood and will always be a part of my personality. @ Dinochick: Should public schools be allowed to perform "Christmas" songs at concerts in December?

Keep in mind Tofu, not all high schools have the same classes. The one I went to didn't have any classes even remotely like the classes you're talking about. Also I'm just in my first semester of college and am only taking the courses that my advisor said I should. There are HS's out there that won't teach creationism anymore. I went to one. I know people who went to different ones. They are out there. All I meant was that HS's should provide a more well rounded education for their students. Maybe I should just start thinking more before I make my posts...I'll try and work on that.

So you don't think that students should be taught what ideas are out ther in school? I know what I believe. I DON'T agree with evolution in and of itself. I understand that living beings WILL adapt to their environments. I don't think that schools should stop teaching something just bc people have stopped thinking it correct. My roommate had a psych teacher last year that was teaching a particular idea. It was an old, out-dated idea that is obviously wrong. She came out and told the class 'this is wrong but I'm still supposed to teach it, b/c at one point in time everyone thought it was right.'

You right-brained freaks.

He sucks at life...I got the same thing.

I want one, or two. Or maybe 3 squadrons worth w/ QCA for Q-Branch...

Hey BS, you thinkin what I'm thnking?

Hands D16 the perfected version of Evo's ISD killer. "It doesn't blow up after you use it anymore..."

That's borderline sacrilege. I like Luke as well, but Thrawn is the better character. Anyway, to post on topic I will say that Hayden sucks and Ford is awesome.

It really all starts about a third of the way down page 4 when Scath says: From there it takes until the top of page 5 for the RPG to really take hold. You're welcome to join if you want...

Mitth gradually came to grips with what had just happened. He spun around and started sprinting towards the Command Center. He heard Evo shout something after him but he was in to big of a hurry to catch was it was. Let's see....We've got at least 20 heavy tractor beams that can see it. If we're lucky we can get maybe another 10 more. We'll need a LOT of security troops to keep Tofu in line until we can get rid of those FURBALL implants that are probably the reason that he was turned. Now how can I get the power needed to catch and stop that much mass and bring it closer to the base??? As he ran he was thinking all of these thoughts and more. Upon reaching the Command Center he started shoving people out of his way. "Let me use the Tractor Beam control consol. Computer: Emergency Override Mitth_raw_nuruodo: Service Number 681-34706. Route full access to base power grid to Tractor Beam Control Consol 0035." "Emergency Override Mitth_raw_nuruodo accepted. Request requires Commander rank confirmation." Mitth frantically scanned the room until his eyes fell upon Defender_16. "DEF! CONFIRM IT NOW!!!!!" "Computer: Confirm Mitth_raw_nuruodo's Emergency Override. Authorization: Commander Defender_16: Service Number 682-06436." "Override accepted. Power control transfered." Mitth shoved the non-com that was slow to vacate the station out of his way and frantically re-routed power to the 22 tractor beams that could reach the ISD III. He locked on at full power and just as the ship's Solar Ionization Reactor's shielding system reached a critical level Mitth was able to stop the crippled ship's plummet. As the Stupidity started to reverse it's course the entire Control Room exhaled the longest breaths of their lives; breaths that most of them didn't even realize they'd been holding. Mitth shouted over the spontaneous cheers at the Head of Security. "I need every available security officer and droid you can spare. Equip half of them with the ysalamiri from the vivarium. Tofu is to be taken alive if possible. Stokhli spray sticks and high powered stun settings. Get the cortosis lined combat suits as well. You should probably take some assault troops with you as well. We'll shuttle them all over after we blast the Stupidity with every Ion Cannon we've got." "Right away Major." "Tex, take over here, I've got a corporal to congratulate and reprimand." Mitth left the Command Center without another word. He started walking back the way he'd come, back to his friend and subordinate. He found him down the hall from the Command Center's door. "Cadet Evo. NEVER again are we going to test one of your prototypes in battle! Do you realize what would've happened if that ISD had gone down?! NUCLEAR F___ING WINTER!!! From now on you will build and test ALL of your weapons BEFORE you use them! But that doesn't matter now. We were able to stop the Stupidity's descent in time. On a much brighter note, congratulations on your promotion, Corporal Evo. The paperwork I'll have to fill out is little more than a formality after a victory of this magnitude. Take a day off friend." Mitth turned and started walking towards his quarters, thinking that maybe, finally, he could get a decent nights' sleep.

Sorry, just assumed you were referring to ST Transporter Tech. THEY can't work through shields.

Now Tofu, if you're going to talk about transporter tech., at least follow the rules. You can't transport things through a shield. Why is that? I don't know. I just know that it's true.

I actually liked Kevin J Anderson's books. I know I'm crazy, but I don't think this is something that would/should contribute to that. Maybe I'm wrong. If so that's not going to change my opinion of his books.

What about a Torpedo Sphere? As I remember it the TS had 20 proton torpedo launchers spread across its surface. It also boasted a super sensitive sensor suite. The TS was used primarily in planetary bombardments. The sensors were used to find the weakest point in a planet's shield. Then the proton torpedo launchers would open up and bring down that section of the shield. I don't know if that would qualify it as a superweapon, but it would prove to be devistating if used properly.

I think it would be a great idea to find a way to do that. HOWEVER, we are talking about the Empire here. The Imps have always been big into superweapons. Look at the Eye. Then there's the DS, Sun Crusher, World Devestators. They're all over the place.
