YOU SUNUVA... You know, now I understand why the hell you piss Mal off even more than I do.
First things first, and I think I speak for everyone when I say this: How the hell did you find this person so we can make sure we don't have any spies hidden among our own ranks? Seriously, if I got someone passing vital info about Roughriders to some other extra-dimensional parties, I want Jessica Ayanami to be the first person to know, and not ever the second.
Noah, we're grownups here. Sure, we act like as bunch of big kids at times, but I think we all know how to deal with critical info like that. I don't care if they're 'Just Observing'. Military Intelligence is 'Just Observing'. An act like this can be considered treason no matter where you go.
So share the wealth or pay the consequences.
On to other subjects.

Mal, there's other universes for that. For one thing, I'm wondering if the Nanoha-verse exists. I'm thinking we could use the assistance of their TSAB.
That's not to say I think we should go looking for help and find trouble instead. That said, first chance we get we need to find these gaijin (again) and start drilling 'em. Hard.
As for backburner projects, well...
Exactly how big do we think this cross-world device is going to be? I need to know because I think I have a platform in mind that might do the trick nicely. Before, I have thought about the idea of having a 'bruise' Navy (black-blue-brown = space-oceanic-littoral). One such element would be a true centerpiece - an all-purpose battle-carrier that is capable of launching offensives against any target and repelling virtually any assault. Yes, it would be massive and take at least a year or two to construct, but from what I'm hearing that's a desirable time frame.
As for why I would want to build such a monstrosity? Teddy Roosevelt once said "Speak softly and carry a big stick." By Skuld, if we're heading into 191-verse, then I wanna be carrying the biggest, Goddess-damned nastiest looking stick these guys have never even dreamed of.
