It's also a rather plain and simple symbol. No needless extra's, like in the Gaian or Peacekeeper faction icons, that divert you from your goal.


after a another tought, how about Hammer Of Thor? Vikings used miniature hammers as necklases(which looked like a T upside down). this thing came to my mind when watching Command Nexus SP-moovie.

Also a great explanation.

Hmm - just like we all had in the Spartan Chronicles

quote:

Avishnu Testing Range

Anastasia cradled the lifeless body in her arms, and wondered what to do with it. In all her planning this was one that she hadn’t foreseen.

She reached down with her fingers to wipe the blood from his face, and noticed for the first time the pendant that he wore, spilled out from under the hood when she had pulled it off.

She looked at it.

One side had an embedded microchip that she assumed held the bio-details of Allardyce.

The reverse simply had an etched commlink frequency.

On an impulse, she pulled out her commlink and dialed.

“Ossenton here,” came the voice. Anastasia recognized the Sparta Command surgeon’s face.

“Kendra – It’s Anastasia here.”

“Anastasia. How nice. How is Googlie? Does he want to talk to me?”

Anastasia’s self control snapped, and she sobbed into the commlink:

“Oh, Kendra, he’s dead. Cut down with a shredder.”

“Back up, Anastasia. How did he die? You mentioned a shredder. Where was he hit?”

“Through the chest. He was wearing a very light camouflage suit that gave him no protection at all.”

“Anastasia. This is important. Is his head intact?”

“Yes. Why?”

“Anastasia. Where exactly are you right now?”

“Just north of Temple of Sol, in Peacekeeping territory.”

“Anastasia. You’ve got to get him to a Spartan biolab as quickly as possible. I understand from Slats Miller that his commlink alert was picked up earlier and they’ve dispatched a helo for him. Now Anastasia, has he his microchip?”

“You mean this dogtag thing?”

“That’s it. Now reach behind his left ear – there’s a small ridge like a bone spur. Press on it. Done it?”

“Yes, what now?”

“Good. Now peel back the small flap of synthskin, and expose the node receptor, then insert the chip. Remove the cord of the “dogtag” as you call it. It really is a fine filament thread. Insert one end into the exposed chip and the other into the commlink you are holding. This will relay his stasis condition to me.”

“Stasis condition? You mean he’s not dead?”

“Well, clinically he is dead, but like in cryosleep.”

Anastasia inserted the chip and connected the leads.

**************************************************


A continent away Kendra looked at her console as the data scrolled:

…program activating…..numerous integrity breaches detected…..releasing analgesic blockers…….releasing coagulents…….commencing shut down…..disengaging neural synapses…….releasing endomorphines………………..
….override detected……..manual override………………

Stazi, I love you

…….program refresh……continuing shut down……depowering implants…..switching off optical augmentation…..switching off aural augmentation…..compressing memory files……suspending aortal pacemaker…..switching off optic overrides…..closing neural links…..powering down musclature enhancers…..commencing countdown to stasis……releasing pulmonary serratins…..cycling off….stasis commencing…..flatlining……reverting to safe mode…..awaiting activation…………………… ………………………………………..


Kendra sank back. “Good,” she thought. “Salvageable.”

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Is the birth of our navy classified information, or could we mention that in the Phalanx too? We could add a mention of the Spartan Air Force to throw them furriners off a bit. (Of course we can have an air force, it's just that we won't have any noodles or choppers just yet.)

Unless we popped the Chopper at the unity crash site

(We can't pop one from a pod until someone discovers SFF - our Department of Misinformation, of course, could surmise that Yang had SFF and that would set the kitten among the pigeons)

You can get a Unity Chopper from a regular pod? I didn't know that.

How, exactly, do you want to use it? You talk of a cursor. Does it replace your standard cursor on IE or something? Capturing it isn't too complicated, just right click it and save it as an image. It's a simple .gif animation.

but you can't right click on it - what you're saving if you do that is the whole page (you can't actually get your cursor over it, 'cos it follows the cursor, just below it)

that's what I was asking help on - is there any other way to capture an animated image like that?

It's probably because on Firefox those annoying cursor things simply don't work.

I could right click and capture it just fine. Here, I uploaded it myself:

Hmm - I guess it won't work on the website, then, as there's porlly some "attachment" code that your capture didn't download. Off to try it

Oh, you mean you wanted to add the same annoying (emphasis on that word) thingus to the Spartan website? I'm not a big fan of those (as you may have noticed already), but I'm sure the source code of that page will be of assistance. (Not that it'll bother me, as the script won't work on Firefox.

I think it's a backpack - prolly additional "punishment" for some previous infraction or other (you know, add 10 kilos to the body weight that he's pushing up)

Looks to me that he does need that additional weight. These are not properly trained Spartan soldiers if you ask me.

What!? Pushups in casual clothing!? What weaklings! If you can't do your morning pushups in full combat gear, including tactical nuclear backpack and NBC gear, you might as well go join the Gaians or Morganites. At least there they'll have to break a sweat before ripping your still-beating heart out and serving it to you on a platter.
