    Nice throwback to V and T’s chat in the tank. I doubt that is what T meant when he said it.

    One thing I’m realizing that I’ve been doing is forgetting just how little time is actually passing per page. Since the ambush started, it can’t have been more than two minutes, or even less, so Tenzin is making lightning-fast decisions. I apologize to him, to you guys, and to myself for being such a twit.

    I’ve been wondering about those shields. How many of them does the team have?

    • Yup. It’s hard to get a sense of time. It’ll be worse when we eventually get back on our twice a week update schedule at the end of this chapter.

      Viktor’s pentad (5 man squad) specialize in the shields, but they didn’t all bring them in to town.

      Yeah, We are really looking forward to getting this into .pdf’s for download etc, so that you can get a sense for the speed of it by not having to wait for the next page.

    It’s unfortunate that the hawks got taken down for them. I was thinking about how Google’s automated cars have lasers that rotate at a high velocity and map out the terrain around any vehicle with pretty high accuracy. A situation like this in the future might see a soldier toss a bouncy ball up in the air that can map the area with lasers and transmit the data back.

    • Yep, that was one of the concept pieces of current tech that we extrapolated into a flying version… the current tech of 3d modeling using a rotating object and a laser pointer and webcam etc. Somewhere later we will continue updating the geeky articles on the current real world tech that we just extrapolated into the realm of “sci-fi”. Also… poster is en route :D

    I like the chatter between Tenzin and Biggs. I mean Viktor! Viktor!

    The time-honored tactic of running one’s ass off.

    I take it these are broadcast communications? If pushing the info to the team highlighted Tenzin before, why isn’t all this chatter doing likewise now?
