Would it simply fall out of the sky or could it be moved somewhere? Could that be detected by the USAF? That could buy some time and keep lives from being lost. Reply: Actually, the desync is not yet perfected. It will actually tear everything apart inside the field if activated. So no, not worth the shot

Sure am glad that didn't happen to us!

Ah, thanks

[jjjonesy]

I'm losing the immersion here. The responses are sounding nothing like what would be coming from a US govt/military aircraft (or someone pretending to be one). They need to sound more formal, and not like,

Small problem indeed.

COMMAND: lainsy egs charge primary 20p * Earth Galactic Station primary weapon will be charged up to 20% only * Charging complete. Ready to fire. COMMAND: lainsy egs primary lock target "C-17 approaching SCF" * Earth Galactic Station primary weapon locked on target. Ready to fire. COMMAND: _

I wonder what 20% amounts to? Pea shooter or planetary shotgun?

Got a reply from Genus...

Reply: I guess they're talking about the time desync that LAINSY started to activate (that didn't get activated anyways). And I don't know why they are sending in a C-17... I guess their main goal is just to take over the facility.

I also asked him some other questions. Got a funny reply...

Thanks for the help, and loyalty. I will answer your questions after I'm done dealing with this small problem...

I've asked Genus what WMD is. Bet it has something to do with Whispher though.

According to Wikipedia, the C-17 is for cargo transport and air drops.
