When did that happen? :confused: Not that I am unhappy or something..just that it got unnoticed not only by me but also everyone else.

It's off screen, it's undignified, and it's because everyone keeps yelling that he's the Eclipse.
 
Codex Entry: The Leviathan of Dis

The Leviathan of Dis is the name given to a gigantic corpse that disappeared from a crater on Jartar in early 2163 (SA calendar). It is believed to be the remains of a genetically engineered starship and its age was originally placed at nearly a billion years old. Recent theories and after study of the initial images of the Leviathan, however, have lead to several conclusions which are normally classified as disturbing.

First, that the cause of death of this creature was not a prolonged starship battle. Even accounting for energy dissipation, half lives of radioactive materials and other such factors, none of the visible wounds appear to be caused by ballistic or energy weapons. In fact, the cause of death is believed to be clawing and bludgeoning.

Second, that the positioning of the Leviathan of Dis puts its supposed bow further into the crater than its aft. This suggests that either it was sent bow-first into Jartar, or it was running. This has lead to a third disturbing question.

What was the Leviathan of Dis running from?

Silly codex entry, that isn't the Leviathan! That's a victim of Leviathan!
 
So, the finals have been done and graded, and now I need to total everything and then I can pay attention to writing again.

That being said, I have come up with a playful nickname of the source of humor in upcoming chapters.

Traynortrauma.

That can understood two ways..

A) Mrs. Ms.Traynor will be the cause of a lot of grief and the aforementioned trauma for others..or..

B) Mrs. Ms.Traynor will be the one feeling a lof of grief and the aforementioned trauma.

You can thank one of the guys at the English Language and Litarature Department where I study for that. He said "we should not use Ms." in coversation.."it is impolite" he said. Most of the students in the class just fell silent for a few moments, looked at each other and then quickly noded to him before something unfortunate happened to us. At least that is written in my school notes. I can be wrong though.
 
Glernaj said:
Um... what? Mrs. explicitly means that the female in question is married, Miss explicitly means she is not, and Ms. is neutral to the state of marriage. It's not impolite, rather, it's the most polite you can be with an unknown. If it was an instructor that told you this, there's something wrong.

Editing my notes now.

What he means is that you should use "Miss" over "Ms." in polite conversation, not that you should refer to all women as if they were married.

It's still retarded, but substantially less so.

Yes 'fetal positions' and more 'terrified of Hugs!Iri, retreats into the crew quarters, gets lost in an area geographically the size of Siberia.'

For starters.

Ah. Auto and Iri were at hard work I see. :p
 
Standard combat procedure involves turning off the artificial gravity of a ship before engaging hostiles. However, since standard procedure was established, it had almost always been violated when combat went into 'knife fight' range, as at that point it didn't matter what amount of preparation you had done.

Someone was going to get right fucked either way.

Magnetic boots keep him fast on the platform overlooking the map. He can hear the clanging as the servicemen and women work around him, just as the beeps on his omnitool acknowledge that at least part of his plan is underway.
Jacob Taylor has taken command. Whether or not this was a good idea will become apparent very soon.

"Well," he grunts, "Don't think they'll prep me for this at officer school."

"Officer school? No. Now, School of Hard Knocks? That's better." He cocks his head. Crouching on the railing next to him, perched like a bird of prey, Kasumi Goto smiles, eyes shining beneath her hood. "I got your message. Sweet of you to ask, too. Shepard would just tell me to stop moping."

A smirk pulls at Jacob's lips. "I'm not even sure if this is going to work, but we're gonna try." The ship lurches as it makes a pass by the disabled dreadnought. "EDI, send the message! Kasumi, you're with the ground team. This is Acting Captain Taylor to the Fifth Fleet. Fire at will!"




The golden fist slams against the black metal club. Earth around them dries, cracks and shatters, obscuring the two in the dust cloud. There is a second crack, deafening those in the immediate area, clearing the haze and revealing the golden giant holding both arms. And then Harbinger pulls both clubs back and snaps them both into its chest.

The angle and force launch the armor straight up, the sound of the impact drowning out Tali's screams and swears. Spinning through the air, the giant surrounds itself in a bubble of light and Essence, dropping to the ground as the reapertech stomapod takes a step back and glows. A halo of gold forms behind it, swinging its snapping club out as the voice of Harbinger fills the battlefield.

"Heaven Thunder Hammer." The giant hangs off of the extended bludgeon, the shield failing with a pop and soldiers sent flying by the bow wave.

And then, Tali, armor and all, goes flying.

The head drags a trench into the ground. Bouncing off a boulder, the battlesuit flips, turns, and lands in a crouch. "Okay," Tali mutters, "I should be dead. Not that I'm complaining, but, Wuffles?"

"The battlesuit is composed of an unknown alloy." A pause in the voice, followed by a steady blinking light out of the corner of her vision. "We have finished searching the databased Autochthon has made available on this platform. This battlesuit is composed of Orichalcum as its primary armor alloy. Accessing systems."

The monster moves faster than it has any right to. Biting her lip, Tali shakes her head and wills the armor forward, directly towards the charging mantis shrimp. "Wuffles, what are you looking for?"

"Accessing locked systems. Encryption bypassed. Accessing Celestial Martial Arts Emulation Suit."

"Are we using those things that let Shepard punch people through cities?"

In the extended hands of the battlesuit, two discs lined with pulsing light form.

"Negative. Accessing: Thousand Wounds Gear style."
 
Thing to remember is that Thousand Wound Gear style isn't Gurren Lagann Drill Penis Phallic Penetration.

It's Tron fighting.

Now I wouldn't be entirely surprised if Tali ended up laughing like a murderous maniac (think 'Deadpool finds heavy machinegun, near-unlimited ammo and a horde of mooks to use it on') while fighting in that armor.

Especially when Tali identifies Harby as the guy who nearly punched her head off.
