Title: The Knossos Devices
Post by: Locutus of Borg on July 15, 2007, 03:24:31 pm
I finished the FS2 campaign and did all the GTVI missions but I'm disappointed by the fact that we don't know where the Knossos devices lead. They were obviously made in a sort of path, but all we get to see is passed the second one.

It saddens me that they couldn't tell us  :shaking: :shaking: :shaking: :shaking:

They probably lead to some distant system where there are even more Shivans.

Whym who built the devices and why were they laid in a path.

The Ancients made them to stabilize the nodes in outer lying systems, or perhaps to get to a far away place.

I was thinking of making a campaign in which the Second Sathanas is delayed and the Psamtik leads the expedition into Knossos 2, but it was obvious it would never get off the road.

I've noticed how you never seem to use less than four smilies at a time, Borg.

After reading the help section, I have learned a certain freak of evil bb code, that would get me banned if I used it... And I'm very tempted to use it here.

I have my suspicions, though.

Actually, Goob has told me it's already known about... But it's scary what it could be used for! :shaking:

It's like giving a child the ability to authorize the launch of a nuclear warhead...

I demand to know what codes are these that will allow me to launch a nuclear warhead.

For more than a week, ominous rumors had been privately circulating among high-level HLP leaders and members that Snail and the administrators had been at work on what was darkly hinted to be the ultimate weapon: a doomsday bb code. Intelligence sources traced the site of the top secret Hard Light project to the perpetually fog-shrouded wasteland of Snail's, Gooby's, and cole's PM boxes. What they were using or why it should be included in such a delicate and unsteady forum no one could say...


Well, I'm off to build a doomsday shelter.s

Several days after writing his report, nuclear1 mysteriously disappeared (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,48180.0.html) without a trace.

Nuclear: Captain Raa? I know you'll think this is crazy but we just got a transmission from General Freespace over the 1138.  It's screaming Wing Attack Plan H.  H for HOLY ****ING **** THAT'S A BIG NUKE.
Raa:  Nuke, did you just say Wing Attack Plan H?
Nuclear:  Yes, sir, I have.
Raa:  Well you have got to be smoking crack, nuclear.  Hang on a second, I'ma coming to lock this thread.

Cole launches every nuke in the world at Nuclear1's location. As they come nearer, the local populace erupt in screams of fear, changing to screams of awe as a glowing blue shield erupts around an enclosed area. The nuclear missiles pass through it and erupt simultaneously causing starbursts within the shield. the shield contracts, forming a singularity and sucking the radiation into oblivion. As the shield expands and dissipates, no life signs are present.
