I'd rather try and make Deirdre a human, rather than a caricature, if you see what I mean. It's too easy to cast her as the idealist or as the eco-terrorist. In reality, all leaders have to face tough decisions, and can't always rely completely on ideology. Sometimes they make mistakes, and sometimes they get it right.
As for the (N)CPA, I don't necessarily agree with everything you believe, but I like what you said about gradual or non-violent change and procedures.  My main problem with most movements (that includes vegetarians, socialists, the Young Liberal Party out here (which is actually the conservative party)) is that they think they should make everyone believe what they do, right now.
About links, you can type this in:
[URL = address to be linked]name of link[/URL]
but without the spaces around the equals sign.
It takes a little getting used to, and even now I usually just click on the "Reply" or "New Thread" buttons and use the Hyperlink feature when I want to make a new link.

Argh!  Ok, I'l try and resend the PM to you Sovereign. That way, I'll be able to deal twith the Drone's activities.
Mr. President-when are you going to send missions into Hive space? I kinda want to have an "altercation" between them and a Patrol Ship sortie....nothing really big.
Lastly...
I was rereading the newest additions to BAC when I came upon a VERY interesting part I failed to notice before:
quote:
“Colonel Kessel, welcome aboard the Pentagon. We have received communications from Central Command and Fleet Carib along the Hive March. Here is a brief report as to the situation. Major Lera at Central Command has forwarded a message of state and it awaits your attention.”
Kessel briefly scans the report and motions towards the door.
“Very well, prepare the taskforce for redeployment. Leave a small detachment here and proceed to the Cadre’s system”
Koto looked at Kessel with a measured glance.
‘We are to enter the Cadre system, Colonel?”
“Affirmative admiral. Your taskforce will enter the Cadre system per the request of the Cadre government.”
Koto and Kessel entered a lift at the end of a short hall. Koto pushed the button for the command deck.
“What will be our objective while we are there sir, if I may ask.”
With a small smile Kessel looked at the aging admiral.
“Well if these reports are true, you will be preparing for war admiral. Along with nearly everyone else in the Human Sphere.”
The lift stopped abruptly and the two officers walked out into the command center of the ship. Kessel spotted the small office where the comm systems were operated from and turned back to Admiral Koto.
“Have General Thomas and General Green report here in twenty minutes. I want the Marine groups under their command to be primed when they get to the Cadre system. It looks like Marine Group Saxon and Goth will be adding another campaign ribbon to their collection”
Koto acknowledge the command and Kessel turned to walk to the comm center. Koto turned and went to summon the two marine generals. As he walked over to his aides he felt something that had been absent for a long time. Finally there might be war with the Hive. Finally after all the years of waiting, his ships would be able to perform the task that they were built for. A smile appeared on the old admirals face at that thought. He had missed the Terran war but that was ok because everyone knew that the only war worth fighting was the war against the Hive. |
But wait! It gets even better:

TO: President Kirsty Adams of the Free Drone Republic
From: Colonel Marcus Kessel
President Adams, as you may or may not know there has been trouble in the independent system of Laekdaemon. As it stands now, there are reasons to believe that the Hive has interfered in the affairs that do not concern them. If this is true then it will be for the last time. The Hive has been a cancer on humanity ever since the early days of Chiron. If it is found that they are behind this trouble then it will become the mission of the Spartan Federation to eradicate the Hive from the Human Sphere. I ask that your forces remain vigilant for possible Hive offensives along the frontier or for possible Bree incursions. I am still of the opinion that the Hive has aided and abided the Bree in the past and that it is possible that a joint attack could be made. Either way, if the Hive is responsible then their remaining time as a power are numbered. |
 How in the bleeding world could I have missed this?! Oooooh, this definetly deserves a "Yang response"!
Although I do find it rather appropriate despite its clear anti-Hive stance!

I actually even managed to keep the data on my second hard drive (three gigs of mp3s and around 100 megs of ebooks), which was fortunate since I have no CD-R-drive to back them up (gotta get or borrow one).
I formatted C:, the drive with Windows, reinstalled Windows and then figured out it was a virus (God bless Lemmy, who suggested it in the 'Poly chat). I managed to get my internet working, downloaded F-Prot for DOS, a trial version of F-Secure antivirus and a tool that disabled the virus.
Then I disinfected the majority of the files, only system files remained. I installed Windows over the old one, i.e. in the same directory, ran the antivirus program which disinfected two last files, left F-Prot to check the drives out while I went to bed for three hours (this was late in the morning, damn school)... and it was gone.
I had to format C: for the third time, though, but that was because of a strange dodgy Explorer.exe error.
It's like cancer, FYI. If one single .exe remains infected, when it's ran, the entire system is again overtaken.  Luckily, this is probably the worst kind of virus out there. This was my first (hopefully last) outbreak, and I'm happy to know it can't get any worse then this.
Edit: also the virus apparently wrecked my ability to spell.

If Tassadar5000 puts you on the Nominations list (when he gets online), you should be ok. I see no logical reason for you not to run, though. It'd be pretty nitpicky to just ignore you if you were a bit late (were you, btw?).
