So in another topic we got into a discussion on alternative fuel vehicles, so on looking a bt I found this. Alternative fuel vehicles

Now I'm wondering what sort of fuel the Phoenixes use. Shouldn't the gas tank go bum during the Firebird?

An idea I once played around with (many years ago as a teenager) is that somehow the Phoenix drew it's power directly from the energies of the team. It went some way to explaining why they were so drained after a Firey Phoenix burst It went the other way too - that the team was linked in someway to the Phoenix - sort of a two-way symbiotic relationship. I never worked out the details, so there are holes in this theory big enough to fly said Phoenix through.....

Maybe the Phoenix burns up all of its fuel, and then from out of the ashes, new fuel arises.... (Sorry... taking the Phoenix metaphor a bit far....)

And the team? Not that Katze would mind a chicken barbecue!

Of course, in the IF, it was Ego who was nearly the BBQ...

Hmm, the Condor's fireproof, looks like it's the Eagle's turn.......

It certainly raises a few interesting ideas as to how it was powered.

I did think that there was a kind of symbiotic relationship between the team and the Phoenix in Firey Phoenix mode too but never really thought about it as I was too busy trying not to listen to Zark.

I think most of us wished Zark would just go away. Its a pity we can't all vote for him as the most annoying character in anime.

Could we alter the Phoenix to run on Zark FOSDICs?

But TJ wont that mean he would have to exist in our minds and he might **shudder** be useful?

I was thinking more that they might burn him up for fuel and then he would be no more... but you have a point...

Maybe they could send him to Spectre as an Ambassador and somehow forgot all about him.

Of course, then he would probably return as a missile....

True either that or the spectrans will trash him and use him as the reason to declare war?

Well, he does LOOK like a trashcan. At least, that's what I thought when I was a kid. Now I think he looks like a walking vibrator. And then I had that fic where Zark actually DID turn out to be a missile...

Or surrender.

now theres an idea Met!

Send Zark AND Susan to SPectra! They're all be too busy watching the train wreck that is their conversation to pay attention to G-Force sneaking in and taking over their planet...

Now that's another brilliant idea.

lol TJ great idea!

Come to think, which was Zark's fuel source? Or Katze's mechas?

I think Zark was fueled by his own sense of self-importance. Katse's mechas were fueled by uranium. Hence, all of that raiding of uranium mines!

Originally posted by Transmute Jun Katse's mechas were fueled by uranium. Hence, all of that raiding of uranium mines!

But they should have caused an atomic explosin when the Phoenix flew through them. And that would have been much more destructive than letting the mecha stomping on the cities. Now I'm pondering at the Gatchaspartan's energy source. Were they uniting the fuel tanks when assembling too?

Obviously you guys just aren't aware of the underlying concepts of the Mantle Project.

Umm nope. Could you fill me in?

Originally posted by amyltrer Umm nope. Could you fill me in?

Well, it's like this. All living things on the planet are filled with energy from the Earth's Mantle. If we can harness that energy, through the use of midochlorians, or cerebonics, or uranium, we could tap into unlimited sources of power. Special antennae are required to pick up on ths Mantle Energy, and three such antennae have been installed on the helmets of the Science Ninja Team. They use this energy as an additional 'power' source when they are running low on adrenaline, causing them to keep their bodies going beyond the normal limits of human endurance. In vehicles and buildings, special antennae are used to gather the energy to power engines, lights, and internet porn servers. If the Mantle Plan is ever completed, all citizens of the UN would have free, unlimited access to internet porn in their homes. Unfortunately, Berg Katse is offended by this notion, as hir body makeup causes difficulties when filming porn. Rather than lose the attention span of the people, Katse has decided to destroy the Mantle Plan, keeping all energy for hirself, to power numerous Galactor mechas. You wonder why the Galactor soldiers are always so distracted and so poor in a fight? It's because they had to tear themselves away from internet porn to go get themselves killed, and therefore their motivation is low. Sosai X is currently working on this problem, terming his plan the 'Black Hole Operation'. OOC I *really* should learn not to BS so much when I haven't had a lot of sleep....

Well, perhaps not better... but perhaps more consistently...

Ohh! I just noticed. I am a forum Legend. I must suddenly be posting a lot.

You are a Forum Legend because you have more than 750 posts. When you hit 1,000 posts you will be a Forum God.

Well TJ, you not only caught me up but passed me on the way to Babbling Loonie, then GatchaFreak, then Gatchamaniac and then...........

Right, Met! We should bug Cep to add more ranks for the number of posts!

But what would they be called and what colours?

You sucked me in right up until you started with the internet porn stuff...So Aussies aren't the only smart asses in the world... mmm I have 109 post to go before I become a god...but "there can be only one!"(spoken in a scottish accent of course!) as it was declared in Highlander...so anyone wanna be Kurgan...I will be Connor and we can fight it to be an immortal... So that is on suggestion....Forum Immortal ...2000 posts!

Duncan MacCleod killed Conner in the film which followed after the TV series. I have always wanted to have a Glasglowegian accent.

Ah highlander haven't watch some of that in oh a week.

I did? I am? Wow.... then I really do deserve the title of Loonie... and I definitely babble. Sheesh... now I know why my husband keeps saying that I'm neglecting him!

Originally posted by amyltrer Right, Met! We should bug Cep to add more ranks for the number of posts!

Well, the top one is 3,000, so the next one would have to be 4,000 or 5,000.... and I think it's a loooong time before anyone gets there!

Isn't that ALL wives do.

Since the symbol of the site is the Galactor sign, I suppose you could do that.

Gee, Met, are you married? And, FWIW, my DH is spending the day drooling over Lara Croft as he plays Tomb Raider XIV... or whatever the latest Tom Raider Game is... So the neglecting goes both ways!

True Met, I haven't noticed it. That means we are a Gallactor rulled site! Yesss rulez!

Could also use different shapes and go through the colours so that would give lots more possibilities and when we reach 5 or 10 thousand get a special symbol?

Okay, fellow naughty Swans... Met asked for it! Attack!!!!!!!! (No, I didn't draw that. I'm not sure who did. I don't recognize the signature. But it's one of my favourites!)

Well that is one way to make sure he stays single.

Hey, anyone who messes with the Swans gets it...

So why do you think I keep trying to stay all innocent??? I really do not want to upset or mess with a Swan. Especially the Trans-smut Swan. I might get a to the face.

Originally posted by clouddancer Especially the Trans-smut Swan. I might get a to the face.

Only if you keep insisting that you are innocent! Hey, how is the construction work going, CD? Are they almost done?

It looks like the painting and baseboards are done. Now there is just some construction of shelving, laying the carpet in the basement and putting in the sink in the laundry room. Oh yes and washing all the floors/flat surfaces around the house from the plaster dust. That reminds me have to talk to the foreman about getting the toilet securely fastened to the floor. One bolt and a wobbley seat is not nice. So toilet needs securing too. Not sure what work is to be done tomorrow. (No calls to tell me.) I just hope they clean the floor before the carpet layers come in. I really do not want all that dust and dirt under the carpet.

ITA...I hope they clean the floors! I'm glad it's coming along quickly, though!

I just got a message from the Foreman. He says he will be sending in a few ladies tomorrow to wash the floors in the basement and on the main floor. Then someone will be in to do some duct cleaning. (I was not expecting that.) Next week he hopes to have the carpet installed. Whoo Hoo!!! I am getting closer to the end. The only thing I took offense too is: it is "Ladies" coming in to clean. What no men on your clean up crew? (I did not ask that but....) But then the women probably would know how and what to clean better then men would. So clean floors, before the carpet is put down.

Whoo hoo! Clean floors! Frankly, I wouldn't care who did it, as long as the floors were clean. Duct cleaning is really nice. It's amazing how much cr*p accumulates up there... and having it done before you turn the heating on for the winter is extra nice!

The duct cleaning will be a bonus! It will get rid of all the cat and dog hair that has collected in the last four years I have lived here. I was saying to my friend I would have turned on the heating and let the drywall dust blow all around the house for a few days while I had allergy attacks. It is nice they are thinking about doing such a good job at cleaning. I hope they do as good a job at wasing floors, and I wonder if they will do some of the other flat surfaces in my house. The ones I have not got to yet. Maybe I will be pleasantly surprised. After all as far as the company cares my insurance is paying for it all.

That sounds like a good reason for them to give you all of the extra service!
