Reader mode
I dimly remember someone placing an opened can of raviolis inside a microwave an running it full power...

Oh sparkles!

I have to assume he forgot the water and tossed it in the microwave for like, half an hour, but the specifics mostly came through gossip shared by everyone who had been dumped by the alarm, so I can't confirm their veracity.

I had nearly the exact same experience. The fire alarm went off in the dorm and everyone crowded around the outside. I heard that it was caused by burnt popcorn being made by some dude who might have been drunk or high.

If we're giving our Abysswalkers traits based on our freshman years, that might have been Kygeetu who set it off trying to make popcorn. Not as embarrassing as some other guy in my dorm who managed to set off the alarm by failing to cook EasyMac, but still pretty bad.

I look forward to the omake where we learn all of the abysswalkers all where at the same uni at the same time.
 
Just finished reading through this quest from start to finish(after several days) and I have to say that it's pretty good. Though I do have some questions since I'm nowhere near masochistic enough to go through the quest page by page.
  1. First, why hasn't Ciaran finish training in the Blazing Chain style since it seems like an interesting style(and certainly a better way of dealing with blasters then to rely on lightsaber deflection, or using blasters in a fight at that(something Ciaran is also known to do)).
  2. Why hasn't the Luka Sene Techniques been incorporated yet into the Agents and Walkers training? It's been an option for awhile now and frankly having improved combat Farsight skills is never a bad thing in a Force fight(and the Field Detection skill doesn't seem that bad either, in fact if the wiki's bit about being able to detect weakpoints shields is accurate, even has some synergy with Shatterpoint).
  3. And finally, even though Vectivus has joined up for a long time now, how come we still don't have the option to learn his Force Phantom technique(even though Ciaran was clearly interested in learning it after studying his holocron but at the time lacked the skill to do so) either personally as Ciaran or even for the other Force sensatives in the organization.

1. no time
2.no time
3 immortality is for chumps, to be real though, force phantom requires to much work and way WAY to much force know how for a entire organization to learn, and ciaran is still young, no need to have it.

Um, I think you have Force Phantoms mistaken for Force Ghosts. A Force Phantom is kinda like the Sith equivalent to a Naruto Clone technique(if one tied to the lifeforce of another living being though fortunately the Star Wars equivalent to a chicken is perfectly acceptable for the skill):
From espionage to harassment of the enemy and even simple communication, Force phantoms were a practical means to a variety of ends. Conjurers frequently appeared as themselves, with full access to their breadth of Force abilities and lightsaber skill and fully capable of inflicting harm.

They usually materialized in their true form, at times physically-enhanced or not in their particular likeness at all. Darksiders commonly attacked their foes by projecting multiple simultaneous phantoms, such as swarms of creatures like mynocks, forcing the quarry to divide their attention while also defending themselves.

Those followers of the Jedi way who were unfamiliar with the phenomena mistook phantoms for Force ghosts. When their true nature was revealed, Jedi were especially confounded, given the potential innocence of the beings to whom each apparition was attached; damage suffered by the phantom was in turn transferred to the life it was anchored to.

Manifestations of loved ones also worked to bewilder the creator's adversaries and challenged the sanity of non-Force-sensitives, who rationalized the occurrences as ghost sightings or close encounters with "phantoms of the mind."

Yeah the skill has it's flaws, the Phantoms cant use ranged attacks, certain sensors and force sensing can tell they aren't "real" and like any Force skill takes a lot of practice to get good at, but can still be a very useful(if ruthless) technique for our more elite Force users.
 
mostly because we had no time for it.
and far more important things too deal with
also cianen not anywhere front line so building up combat skill not really even been high on the list
 
So I've been watching the first season of Clone Wars (2008), and the conclusion I keep coming to is that it works better if you think of it as a propaganda video than as actual events.

Battle droids that can't hit the broad side of a barn? Propaganda.
Heroes that solve problems with goodness and love? Propaganda.
Heroes Always Win? Propaganda.

Obi-Wan snark does help though.

Then what's with Grievous's intro? I doubt having three or four Jedi killed and another two or three critically injured is very good for morale.

Yup. If you consistently portray the enemy as completely worthless you can't justify cutting into people's daily lives in aid of the war effort. You need at least one enemy agent/commander/army that's utterly terrifying and needs all hands on deck to stop but who can't be everywhere at once so that you can have your policy cake and eat it too.

does that giant crush ship have a name?
 
Clone Wars 2008 is the 3D one that starts with the reason people weren't talking about the Malevolence.

Oh, right. Can't believe I got those mixed up. Especially since (if I remember correctly) Revenge of the Sith came out in 05.

It did, but remember, with Star Wars the name of the game is merchandising and squeezing every drop out of stuff you already have.
 
Of all the stupid ideas in star wars the seismic tank ranks at the top. It is litterally a flying, armored barn that needs to fly directly on top of its target. with the speed of construction equipment, and the fact that you would be able to see it coming for miles, the only thing it would be dangerous to, would be if it were to attack fixed positions. anything else just needs to dodge.

The only way to make this a bigger bullet magnet would be to paint it with red and white concentric circles.
