Incredible!

What a departure from the norm.

It really does look like some sort of an insect.

I agree Lewcat & Auntie M but it's kinda ugly in a lethal way though. I mean if you are it's target and you see that monster coming I think you would say that things are going to get very ugly. I don't know how military procurement programs operate but I think the pundits were screaming their heads off when it was revealed that the project cost over one hundred million tax dollars and the ship was sold as scrap for about one hundred and forty thousand dollars.

Scene from "Flight of Black Angel".

Weapons officer: Sir we have a big problem here. A mode three bomb won't work on a mode two release rail.

Pilot: Cant you reconfigure the release mechanism?

Weapons officer: Sir it doesn't work that way, maybe I need to check with command.

Pilot: Don't do that, military intelligence had a hand in this.

Weapons officer: Military intelligence huh. Sorta like jumbo shrimp.


Now me, I wouldn't care if the military spent one hundred quadrillion dollars for defense. I'd rather eat Raman Noodles then swill down a Molson for the rest of my life then sit down to filet mignon and sip some Dom and all of a sudden I see the second sunrise.
