Sinapus, I love your B5 Londo quate. Made me laugh.

does anyone suppose that the temporal tech tree should contain an infinate improbability drive at the top of the tech tree? not sure what it would do though, maybe we could make it like a powerfull engine and quantum reactor in one. probably to much to ask for it to turn seekers into petunias.

Actually, it was Vir who said that... and he did get what he wanted AND lived long after that. Episode should be airing on Sci-Fi this Monday, unless they have another movie marathon that interrupts the schedule.

I am somewhat serious about the atrocity idea, though.

associates arrange that for me, Mr. Morden?"

Tactical Officer: Sir! We fired our missles, but they turned to petunias moments before impact.

Captain: But that's impossible!

Science Officer: Actually sir, it's not impossible. Only highly improbable.

Captain: Number one, launch science officer Gronk out of the forward torpedo tubes!!!

Oh man, it was Vir? Thanks for correcting me on that. (I love B5, too bad WB shafted it. )

Anyways onto business. One would have to agree that something such as Atrocities should be built into an AI. Think of the message you would get.

"Lord Atrocities: We have just captured on of your worlds and irraticated (sp) its population. FROM the Eee"

Man that would really flame your hatered for them. In addition, it would have a demoralizing effect upon your own people as they would become increasingly concerned about such a thing happening to them.
