After the Frams successful mission to Wolf 359 the Tycho Brahe Institute had their hands on two of the most interesting places close to Earth and the chance to observe and try to understand not only one but two unique ecosystems in two very different environments with Muspellsheimr and Nifelheimr.
The only way to do long term observations and discoveries on both worlds was to establish a station in the double-planets baystation. Reykjavik Station was born. It was decided to draw on the experiences of the establishment of arctic and antarctic stations by the Nordic countries and the experience of Whistler Services for their low cost, high quality experiences with building space craft and the Institutes good experience with Whistler concerning the SS Fram.
Build on Cuno Station using existing container production lines and a basic torus design Reykjavik Station is designed to be highly modular and expandable with multiple more toruses around the central pillar.
Reykjavik Station is designed with high redundancy, utilizing four central Fusor reactors (each capable of supplying the station with 100% of the needed energy) and one backup Fusor per module, it is unlikely that a larger problem could destroy the station or make it unable to continue its work.
Four unarmed Swedish Strf90 IFV are the auxiliary vehicles of the station, providing protection against both planets environments.
Reykjavik Station was delivered into Wolf 359 in five parts by the Tyger Tyger.
Known Vehicle Quirks:
* 'Have you tried whacking it with a hammer?' Sometimes important systems (safe for life support) like to go offline and stay that way until someone hits the main controller with a hammer or another heavy object.
* 'C-c-cold...' Its impossible to get the internal temperature of the living quarters above 18 degreed Celsius.

I dunno. You tell me. Ripped from Girl Days by Robert Haynie:

Quote:First, because cosmic law won't LET a wizard rule the world-

something or someone always stops you before you can cast the last

rune, and then it's be cut down by the barbarian time, or be shot by

the dashing hero time, or get your butt kicked by some martial artist

whose name probably begins with R, ends with A, and is an

aquatransexual time. (This is called foreshadowing.)

Second, because even if you DID rule the world, the time it

would take to administer it would take time away from the arcane

studies that magi like so much.

And third, because in the honest opinion of most real mages,

it's a lot more gratifying to kick back with a sixpack and a cute

nature spirit, watch "The Witches of Eastwick" and poke fun at the

errors, and cuddle a bit.

New favourite Dev is named Dink.

That is all.

This song sounds like it'd be good at helping Doug rally a group in the middle of a fight.
Otherwise - We are Soldiers

Quote:It's time to strap our boots on,
This is a perfect day to die,
Wipe the blood out of our eyes.
In this life there's no surrender,
There's nothing left for us to do,
Find the strength to see this through.
We are the ones who will never be broken
With our final breath, we'll fight to the death
We Are Soldiers! We Are Soldiers!
Whoa, Who-oh-oh-oa, Who-oh-ohhhhhhh-oh-oa
WE ARE SOLDIERS!
I stand here right beside you,
Tonight we're fighting for ours lives,
Let me hear your battlecry. Your Battlecry!
We are the ones who will never be broken
With our final breath, we'll fight to the death
We Are Soldiers! We Are Soldiers!
We are the ones who will not go unspoken(unspoken)
No we will not sleep, we are not sheep
We Are Soldiers! We Are Soldiers! Yeah!
We stand shoulder to shoulder
We stand shoulder to shoulder
We stand shoulder to shoulder
You can't erase us, you'll just have to face us!
We stand shoulder to shoulder!
We stand shoulder to shoulder!
We stand shoulder to shoulder!
You can't erase us, you'll just have to face us!
We are the ones who will never be broken
With our final breath, we'll fight to the death
We Are Soldiers! We Are Soldiers!
We are the ones who will not go unspoken(unspoken)
No we will not sleep, we are not sheep
We Are Soldiers! We Are Soldiers! Yeah!
Whoa! Who-oh-oh-oa! Who-oh-ohhhhhhh-oh-oa!
We Are Soldiers!
Whoa! Who-oh-oh-oa! Who-oh-ohhhhhhh-oh-oa!
We Are Soldiers!
Whoa! Who-oh-oh-oa! Who-oh-ohhhhhhh-oh-oa!
We Are Soldiers!

I recently remembered that the Mass Effect 3 Demo was going to be released last month, so I did a bit of looking around. I am now faced with a bit of a dilemma. It should appear that EA is continuing it's trend, and making Mass Effect 3 require Origin to be installed and active in order to play. This has sparked no end to flame wars on the topic, with two hundred-some page threads on the Bioware forums accumulate and get locked. Since I have hope that this will not turn out to be quite as vitrolic a issue here, I'm interested in soliciting some opinions on Origin, hopefully from some people I know that use it. Most notably is the issue that Origin can and will scan your hard drive. EA insists just the Origin AppData directory ("reviewing filenames"), tinfoil-hats say the entire drive (everything from tracking your gameplay to spying on your messages to gay chatrooms).

I've been listening to Blue Oyster Cult a lot recently and it hasn't escaped my notice that most would fall under the heading of 'do not play, ever' for Doug.
Song: Black Blade
Reason why it's dangerous: It's about a demonic sword that takes control of it's wielder and destroys everything.
Song: Harvester of Eyes
Reason why it's dangerous: It's about a monster that kills people and eats their eyes.
Song: Old Gods Return
Reason why it's dangerous: Take a guess.
Song: E.T.I.
Reason why it's dangerous: "King in yellow / Queen in red" Anything that mentions the King in Yellow is best avoided.
Song: Don't Turn Your Back
Reason why it's dangerous: It could potentially result in everything trying to kill Doug ( "Don't turn your back / Danger surrounds you /Don't turn your back /To the dogs who hound you /Don't turn your back /Don't show your profile /You'll never know /When it's your turn to go")
The only song I've heard so far that might actually be useful is "I Am The Storm" but even that's risky;
You scorned the love that I gave you

You lied now nothing can save you

Blue skies are turning to grey

I know the games that you play

Winds of rage they start to build

Too much madness will lay you under

The cards you draw don't help at all

Hear the sound of approaching thunder

When you see the clouds blacken

Remember you've been warned

No shelter from my fierce winds

Because, I am the storm

You'll hear my echoes of anger

You'll fear the roar of my thunder

Nightmares, confusion will come true

Aces and eights are the fate that you drew

Lightning bolts become my swords

When I pull them from the sky

Run my gauntlet of slashing rain

You won't survive to testify

When you see the clouds blacken

Remember you've been warned

No shelter from my fierce winds

Because, I am the storm

Amusing chemicals

So as per usual I'm looking for interested parties to run said task force sometime this coming week and again for around the usual time of 7pm Mountain time 9EST.
Here is a list of interested individuals thus far and I'll add names to the list as people speak up on this thread or in game.

Friendly reminder that you'll need to bring a 50 with Alpha unlocked.

Yeah, so I managed to crash 'fox 3.mumblemumble, and suddenly it no longer opens new browser windows when I start it again. Upgrading to 10.whatever doesn't help either... Seriously, WTF? Norton and Malwarebited can't find anything screwy on my system, and I killed the "restore last session" dialogue in favor of starting over fresh, but no joy. Jammit, I NEED at least three browser windows to organise the tabs I keep open all the time!
