Hat: Well, I thought it was goal to shoot for. Dunno when the next one's coming out, though.. shouldn't be too long.<br><br>Asha: Glad you liked that ending... I was looking for a good stopping-place for this part.<br><br>Just for a bit of scale and a fun aside, as the Great Civil War won't be brought into the main focus of the story again, here's a list of warriors and casualties over the eighty-year timespan of the War.<br><br>Warriors:<br><br>The Fifteen Hives:<br>Produced: 110,000,000<br>Lost: 85,000,000<br><br>Rebel Hive:<br>Produced: 18,000,000<br>Lost: 18,000,000<br><br>Keep in mind, this <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> is</i><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> over eighty years, and these Queens don't have any mechanized forces at all, or even an air force. The rebels were <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> extremely</i><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> dangerous in battle, as you can see from the numbers. Also, armies of that size tend to do ridiculous amounts of damage to the ecology of the planet--<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> Chat-Ka</i><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> was made pretty well uninhabitable because of the Great Civil War.<br><br>If you're trying to picture what these guys were like in battle, think of the bugs from <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> Starship Troopers</i><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->--they've been my main inspiration as far as the mass battles between Hives go. Except they're not as big (only 7' tall like Bug) and they're using hand-weapons instead of claws and pincers. Can you imagine what two or three million of these guys look like charging a hill? <p><BR><img src=http://scribers.midwestmail.com/ambushbug/BugSig.jpg align=LEFT><BR>Member: DTM, XMEN<BR>Professional Tank Driver<BR>Card-carrying Base-Cracker<BR>Ugly Son-Of-A-Gun<BR><BR>Bug's Tank Bumper Sticker:<br>"If you can read this, you're already street pizza."</p><i></i>

Re: hi
Ahhh, over the hump. I've had a bad case of 'dialog block' for the last few days, which I got over tonight. If I'm not totally entranced by the GF4 coming in the mail (tomorrow! w00t!), I should have the next section up and posted by oh... Monday, I think. <p><BR><img src=http://scribers.midwestmail.com/ambushbug/BugSig.jpg align=LEFT><BR>Member: DTM, XMEN<BR>Professional Tank Driver<BR>Card-carrying Base-Cracker<BR>Ugly Son-Of-A-Gun<BR><BR>Bug's Tank Bumper Sticker:<br>"If you can read this, you're already street pizza."</p><i></i>

Re: hi
Errr,... there is one, Asha. It's the one that details what actually went on when Bug was 'changed'. Or are you referring to the next one I'm writing after that? <p><BR><img src=http://scribers.midwestmail.com/ambushbug/BugSig.jpg align=LEFT><BR>Member: DTM, XMEN<BR>Professional Tank Driver<BR>Card-carrying Base-Cracker<BR>Ugly Son-Of-A-Gun<BR><BR>Bug's Tank Bumper Sticker:<br>"If you can read this, you're already street pizza."</p><i></i>

The scene with Sirus messing with Mortok was the hardest one to write out of this piece... quite a task, but I think you'll like how it turned out. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><BR><img src=http://scribers.midwestmail.com/ambushbug/BugSig.jpg align=LEFT><BR>Member: DTM, XMEN<BR>Professional Tank Driver<BR>Card-carrying Base-Cracker<BR>Ugly Son-Of-A-Gun<BR><BR>Bug's Tank Bumper Sticker:<br>"If you can read this, you're already street pizza."</p><i></i>

Re: Desecration Comments Thread
OK, I <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> do</i><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> have to admit that when I came up with the numbering scheme for the Steels, 42 was the first number that popped into my head. Yes, I've read Adams. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> No, I'm not trying for a crossover where Bug thinks of the number 42 and the entire BioDerm war-machine grinds to a halt. No fear... really! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><BR><img src=http://scribers.midwestmail.com/ambushbug/BugSig.jpg align=LEFT><BR>Member: DTM, XMEN<BR>Professional Tank Driver<BR>Card-carrying Base-Cracker<BR>Ugly Son-Of-A-Gun<BR><BR>Bug's Tank Bumper Sticker:<br>"If you can read this, you're already street pizza."</p><i></i>

Re: Desecration Comments Thread
I have not read adams, but think that would be pretty cool. BUT, then we'd have this little problem with all the Tribes of man reverting back to the age old Killt the guy on the next planet mentality.... That would suck. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><div align="center"><embed width="250" height="200" src="http://www.theta_mercenaries.homestead.com/files/sphat.swf"></div><p align=center><font color=#ff0000>Why Do I Always Die?!?!?!?!</font></p></p><i></i>

Well, I stole that from ArsTechnica, but I figured it would be a nice grammatical treat to throw in. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><BR><img src=http://scribers.midwestmail.com/ambushbug/BugSig.jpg align=LEFT><BR>Member: DTM, XMEN<BR>Professional Tank Driver<BR>Card-carrying Base-Cracker<BR>Ugly Son-Of-A-Gun<BR><BR>Bug's Tank Bumper Sticker:<br>"If you can read this, you're already street pizza."</p><i></i>
