The Mechanics of In Flight
One of my reviewers mentioned the idea of starting a forum for those who want to debate various points of my story without clogging up the review section too much. I decided to go ahead and give it a try.

so has my Sniping mini-me died already or is he killing **?

Until the Second Skyranger is shipped in, most of the Inlfights are stuck in Avalon 2, but they'll come out with surplus Heavy Plasma and Powered Armor.

Granted they'll be lead by a mind-control prone captain, and a sniper that's using all prosthetics but I believe they'll be a game changer.

Or they'll blow themselves up.

Really counting on Cloud and Satire to surive so they'll have some officers...

Maybe I need to find a way to improve the quality of my Boot Camp for those rookies to increase their survival rate... Nah, I'm feeling to lazy. I'll just be sure to only get the no names into my camp.

Sage of Eyes

Yep,

Shinji Gendo Rei and Asuka are total no names.

Just like Zel, Saber, Archer and Rin.

Only the cannon fodder for you guys.

Totally.

... I'm dead, aren't I?

@SoE

Are you working on leveling your 'Question Evasion' skill?

*Edit* If Zel, Archer, Rin, and Saber have died for us does that mean that Shirou is still alive?

You are totally alive lhklan!

Granted it may be your third life, but I won't be giving you a eulogy until you get to actually survive the first turn.

Dem bullets are attracted to weird names brah.

Third life? What does that mean?

Can you give me a more detailed description about the soldier with my name?

7/13/2012 #1,748
Cloud1239999

I think he meant that each time he has created a soldier named after you they have died on their first turn. So judging based on that he's reviving those of us who have managed to do nothing in order to give us all a chance. If this is the case then you've been remade/revived twice now and you're on your third attempt.

Hey, it's okay. *Pats Ihklan on the back.* I'm sure you'll be a bad ** killing machine soon enough.

What why? Why would anyone in their right mind agree to side with aliens who want to enslave humanity?

People have done crazier things so it fits with our history...

7/14/2012 #1,755
Cloud1239999

It's a 'lesser of two evils' thing. They likely figured that slavery was better than death.

...the aliens are attacking to get human cattle for genetic engineering. Since we're a good genetic baseline.

Hah! I knew they were evil.

We make a terrible genetic baseline. We have too complicated DNA. I would go for amoeba. Few million generations in a few hours.

7/14/2012 #1,760
chrnno

Except off course if you want an intelligent species... Or simply a highly complex one.

7/14/2012 #1,761
Khagerou

Intelligence is relative, sure we are sentient to an extent but the level of sentience varies from person to person.

Cows are complex. So are most of the mammals. R\

7/14/2012 #1,762
chrnno

Which is kinda the point? On the average our intelligence is superior to all others species so studying us might give an hypothetical alien race something...

Who said they aren't also taking them?

7/14/2012 #1,763
Sage of Eyes

I believe it's best to say that human's are wanted because we happen to be able to reproduce at high speeds and happen to walk around everywhere.

7/14/2012 #1,764
Shioran Toushin

or we are capable of controlled mutation?

because with virus, bacteria and parasited the changes are.. unpredictably fast and varied.

7/14/2012 #1,765
Khagerou

You know discussing about a fictitious alien race trying to use us as genetic cattle almost make me feel like I should be feeling weird

7/14/2012 #1,766
chrnno

Odd, this is nowhere the most absurd discussion I have ever done...

Anyway I think it likely that we are not the only race being used to experiment and that a significant amount of the people taken are actually put on another planet so that they have multiple sources and varying directions to follow simultaneously while comparing with completely different races.

7/14/2012 #1,767
Shioran Toushin

aaand most likely we are the easiest subduable party they have access to.

7/14/2012 #1,768
chrnno

Unlikely, it took us millions of years to get to this point and we had to dodge inumerable disasters in such a time so statistically it is far more likely that they find one even easier to subdue than us.

7/14/2012 #1,769
Khagerou

True plus frankly we would make horrible canvas. Were too delicate at a fundamental level.
