I completely agree. Reading that chapter brought flashbacks to some of the best SG-1 episodes. I do miss Carter in this, mainly because she'd be trying to figure out what makes Bob "tick" while he'd be trying to talk her into taking her top off (or something along those lines). :twisted: C...

I don't see the chowderheads allowing the impact to happen, either. They wouldn't reveal themselves to the inhabitants of the planet, but they might arrange for the asteroid to be knocked off course by a "rogue" asteroid that nudged it aside, or cause some outgassing that pushed the rock i...

Heh. I was wondering if we were going to see an O'Neill-Dresden snarkfest. It does not disappoint. Can't wait to see how it goes when everyone else gets involved. Enjoying this immensely. Keep it up.

Well, to be honest that's usually how Harry's misadventures tend to go. He generally doesn't get any breaks until everything's said and done. And sometimes not even then.

Raptors are often used as scouts because they are small and have a long range. Fitted out with Cylon jump drives, they are actually capable of traveling huge distances rather quickly. If the scouts find computer mainframes, factory machinery, robotics, stockpiles of refined metals and fuels, etc......

The biggest problem I see if this is the remains of a ragtag fleet of whatever could escape. The people on it are a mix of military and random lucky civilians. Are these people even going to remember about the steam age and have any chance of replicating its technology before their existing tech di...

I agree. It's an interesting start, and I'm curious to see how this take on the Big Blue BoyScout goes, but there definitely comes a point of being too descriptive.

"We don't know yet, but we think it is a weapon." Gresstise handed him another image. It showed a vessel of some kind. It had a bulbous head at the end of a neck with a wider body. The body spread into wings that sported pylon-like structures. Well, that doesn't really clarify things. Dam...

Why do I have a feeling that the "Do whatever you have to do to keep them safe" comment is going to result in a distinctly Bob-flavored WTF? moment when all is said and done?

I'd vote for Star League-era Brony porn, or whatever the equivalent would be. Imagine the spymasters getting an eyeful of that.

Lots of twists and turns, so many that I'm having trouble keeping track of who's who (not that this is a bad thing!). Should be interesting to see how this all comes together and what fallout (pun intended!) there is from the fact that someone brought a nuke to the party. One has to wonder if Tauria...

Those that take a pounding are the ones that have their plot shields up. Tell me about it. I think one of the most egregious ones was in the "Generations" movie. The Enterprise gets blasted six ways from Sunday by an antiquated Bird of Prey, and the worst that seems to happen is some ensi...

Interesting choice of teleport location. How did they miss the metlabomb? Those aren't small and I didn't think they had any scanner blocking metals in them. Am a little surprised just how easy he was able to punch through the Jefferies tube. Would of thought those were stronger then the rest of th...

if the Warp exists at all in Trekverse, if it functions the same, if the Gods themselves exist or are as powerful. But if any of those are true, Geordie and co fiddling around with a milllenia-old Warp field can't end well. Well, since our rampaging warrior somehow wound up in the Trek universe, I ...

I'm not sure the exterior hull plating would stop a Marine, either.

A battle had begun over Earth, two combatants fighting over a blissfully unaware world. Nice. Very nice. Although I have to wonder how unaware they would remain with a battle of this sort going on in low orbit. The internet and social media wasn't quite as pervasive at that time as it is now, but I...

01:36:37 The huge thing turns about and Fullthrottle freezes in place, eyes wide like a deer in headlights. After a few moments he slowly moves to raise his hands. "That's a...that's a mighty big gun you have there," he murmurs. I'm still waiting with baited breath (where exactly did that...

I wasn't a even aware of this place when this work first showed up. I saw it on the list of topics and started reading from the beginning... and liking it a lot. And then I noticed the rather large discrepancy in the dates, and felt certain that I was reading a necro'd thread, that the awesome story...

“A little high? I’ve spent thirty-two years in uniform, Rostov— thirty-two years and now I don’t have a pension. My family back on New Syrtis no longer has medical coverage—my wife and kids will lose the house because they aren’t getting my pay any longer. THIRTY-TWO FUCKING YEARS WASTED, YOU FAT I...

Sadly I suspect the Syrtis Fusiliers tests would probably notice that, so the exact ploy wouldn't work here. (While the Taurians don't care a hoot for the 'rules of war' as practised by the rest of the Inner Sphere, poisoning their OWN water supplies seems like something they'd want to be able to U...

Well, I guess that answers my questions. :roll: He's playing a dangerous game, tho - if I were a member of the 6th, I would not take too kindly to finding out that my vaunted liege was more than willing to foist my loyalty upon a sacrificial altar (by his own words!) in order to save his sorry poste...

OK, so I have to ask - is Hasek actually that stupid? Sure, he may be able to wreak havoc on the ground, but one look behind him would have revealed that his transportation is gone. And as Edward said, one look in front of him - one good, long look - would have shown him that Edward wasn't lying. I ...

Even a cursory orbital scan ought to reveal the presence of more dropships and units than they had accounted for-though at that point they may be too late. Signal traffic is another clue-as would some of those Daivon mercenaries transmitting warnings to their buddies to run away or something-they p...

Anyways, New Vallis. Since the Defenders now have a 3-1 edge in numbers, and military thought dictates that the attacker of a fortified position should have that many troops, there should be no officer of the Sixth who will lead them into that meatgrinder. Redeploy somewhere else, go pirate, strike...

After everything else that had happened, I would think they'd be a bit more leery about what surprises that supposedly outmatched Taurian fighter group might have up its sleeve.
