O!M!G!
“I can tell them that you no longer
work here.”
No longer here. No word where he is.
No longer has a job?
Talk about giving Mom and Dad
heart attacks!
I’d love to be a fly on the wall,
with a camera, when that
conversation occurs.
Good, let them stew for a few days, although a week would be better.
Nothing is more annoying and troublesome as helicopter parent(s)
set to hover.
Sounds like they are ready for them, I just hope the plan goes to plan.
I have a hunch the Disruptors have gotten complacent with their advantage.
Clearly they don’t have good tactical sense. Or the willingness to look at
the facts and at least try to figure things out, rather than barge in, guns
blazing, and hope that’ll work.
>There’s a shuttle at the airport that leaves at 2100. You’ll be on it.
In isolation that sounds like a old gangster flick. In context it is a family
that realizes the more its members succeed, the better off everyone is :}
Oh sure, this shows they like his work, that mummy and dada
are the problem, so promoting him and moving his location
would stop most of the distractions he’s currently living with.
And no doubt put an end to their harassing calls after him at
that location.
for a reason,,, it’s boring…
most normal people don’t want to wait that long.
they tried to portray that in a movie to a test audience,.
most left,, all complained…
thats why in TV an movies sci-fi, is at point blank range.
i mean how boring would it be, if the tv Enterprise fired its
torpedo’s and have to wait 15 minutes to hit…???
But at the same time energy weapon beams are
visible and can even be dodged. And can be heard
at great distance, in space. True, it would be boring
and every space battle would take 3-4 episodes
to finish.
I’m not sure what the conversation is about, but time-on-target means
firing a volley of different weapons so that the rounds all arrive at the
same moment.
In this case, since the Kamikaze Frigate is the largest and slowest missile,
it is sent first and the missiles aimed at the closest targets are fired last,
so they all hit at the same time.
Admiral Ariste is doing this so that Disruptors have no time to respond.
One big flash in the sky and they have nothing left to respond with.
Heh, we were talking about movie magic combat vs real
space combat would be like. Yes, time to target counts
but depending on the distance that any shots fire to target
the fire times would be widely set, like firing a beam weapon
might happen 15 minutes after the missile was fired. I
figured that part out watching those old news reels my
father kept watching, The most clear example was a movie
that showed some of the time to wait for a torpedo to
reach it’s target. That and the time between firing a mortar
and it landing on target.
Or never...

‘Time on Target’ isn’t used often enough in Science Fiction, especially
when there are ballistics involved.

It was used a lot in WWI, because artillery was set up
at very different distances from the target.
It cut down the warning time.
