(Hillbilly voice) You're obviously new around here, son.
The think tank is only occasionally used for thinking. More often it serves as a way to compare monsters, as demonstrated by the past few pages. Or as a means to test each other's mettle with challenges of a verbal nature, often utilizing ones mother as a prime target. One may question whether it is a think, but one can never bring into contention it's status as a tank.
All right, serious face now. Sounds like a good idea, but it's really up to you.

Oh I died? Well it's probably better in my situation.
Well, i for one wouldn't mind. It would be nice to have all the work I've put into this comitted to some form of print.
Oh, and Euan? If you haven't already, check out the rule thread.

It has a list of the basic rules you're expected to follow, as well as some alien sheets to help in your roleplaying of missions.
Everyone should check it out right now, actually, as I just put up a list of the training your soldiers will receive by rank and class. Use these to remember what skills your characters will have on missions.

WHOA PAL, the term robots is offensive to synthetic existence-forms, using it makes you literally equal to Hitler.
Seriously though, nice. I didn't plan to do any more training sequences after my last entry, but now I just might.
it works for providing you with ideas for posts, if nothing else.
No! Oh god no, I meant it by you have no time to do it,that is what I meant
Hey Zombie your latest post reminds me off when Desmond went off on Elizabeth the first time. I don't know why but every man seems to be pissed off on base 
While we had some down time, I was going to pose to those of you that are fans of anime to compare you character with a character from an anime that best represents them. When I came to the first of mine, and connected her to the character she was actually based on, I came to the realization that practically all of my characters can be linked to someone in the anime Shuffle, unintentional but funny none the less.

Tensions be high, especially when you gotz alien juice in you brainz.Hey Zombie your latest post reminds me off when Desmond went off on Elizabeth the first time. I don't know why but every man seems to be pissed off on base
That is a hard choice for me... Desmond doesn't really fit any anime characters I know. If you could find some for Desmond and Elizabeth I would love to see themWhile we had some down time, I was going to pose to those of you that are fans of anime to compare you character with a character from an anime that best represents them.

Hmm... Desmond... kinda reminds me of Scar from Fullmental Alchemist.
As for Ellie, I get strong Amelia for The Slayers from her:
(Oh lord, I've introduced another Amelia...)
Wow I can't believe I didn't think of Scar...he is a good fit for Desmond another possible candidate for the spot would probably be Lelouch from Code GeassHmm... Desmond... kinda reminds me of Scar from Fullmental Alchemist.
As for Ellie, I get strong Amelia for The Slayers from her:
(Oh lord, I've introduced another Amelia...)
and from what I read about Amelia she fits Ellie to a tee, other than the religious side of things but even still she is a healer. Any other candidate would be if Lisanna and Wendy from Fairy Tail were combined.

I've only watched one anime in my life, so I'll let someone else equate Emily for me. I'm sure there's some anime about teenage stowaway girls out there.

I would compare Scarlet to any character from higurashi when the cry. Also I would recommend watching that for Halloween.
here's a taste of it. p.s this is not for the week of heart

Shuffle is a slice-of-life anime with a super-natural twist. In a sense, it is harem anime, though one of the better ones. In it, a teenage boy's life is turned upside down when the lord of the realm of gods and the lord of the realm of demons move into the houses next to his, and both declare that the main character will marry their respective daughters.
The main character, Rin, lives in the home of his childhood friend Kaede, which he has done since the death of his parents and the death of her mother when they were young. When I first watched it with a friend, he informed me that in the visual novel the anime was based on, Kaede was the default girl, or in other words, the girl you ended up with if none of the other girls liked you. I thought this was confusing, considering how devoted she was to Rin in the anime. Always willing to do whatever he asks, obviously head-over-heals in love with Rin, and so willing to help others, she nearly dies when she doesn't tell anyone how sick she is. Why was she the default choice?
Then we see this face:
Turns out she's a little crazy, by which I mean really crazy, and a bit too devoted to Rin. Near the end of the series, we find out that, when her mother died, she had a psychological breakdown, and fell into a sort of waking coma. To snap her out of it, Rin told her that the reason her mother and his parents were coming home early, leading to the car accident, was because he begged them to come home because he missed them too much. Not only did she immediately spring to life, nearly choking him to death, she spent the next five or so years torturing him when no one was looking (for example, she dropped something down some stairs, told him to pick it up, and when he went to do so, she dropped an open box cutter on him, almost costing him an eye).
Then, one day, she broke into his room and destroyed his favorite model ship, only to find a postcard hidden in it. Before Rin could stop her, she read it, finding out that the reason her mother had come home early was because she had been incredibly sick, and she was actually the one who had begged them to come home early, meaning it was 'her fault' (not really her fault, she was a child, but the point is she had been torturing Rin for something he said he had done when it was really her who did it)
Rin was able to stop her from going completely crazy, but her only source of metal stability came from serving Rin in an attempt to make up for all she'd done to him. The crazy comes back out, however, when he starts getting all this attention from other girls. I love the scene where she is talking to Primala about how much she loves Rin and will never leave him, all while 'cooking' dinner, when in reality she is stirring an empty pot.
And incidentally, I hope you aren't saying Scarlet is like Shion, the girl featured in that scene, because she later brutally tortures and mutilates a ten year old girl. Not the best image for Scarlet. If you were going to go with someone from Higurashi, you're best bet is Rena. She goes crazy too, but at least the only ones she kills is a gold-digger targeting her father and her pimp.
With her mischievous nature as a child, I'm gonna go with the main character from Slayers (and one of my all time favorite female protagonists), Lina Inverse:
