Really marine
I hope someone gets this reference!

OU the memories, of my classmates repeating almost every line from this movie. Good times.

I must say, writing for Desmond, Elizabeth, and Ryan is a lot of fun for me. I just love how I make Desmond be in some awkward situations, Ellie and her childish nature, and Ryan who is really the only one Desmond trusts fully and is open with him. It just fills me with a sense of accomplishment when I write these guys and their interactions.

I love Ryan's character. Didn't realize until it was brought up that he was black. Finally, a black character! *sort of*

I am going to bed. I have a lot of work tomorrow to get accomplished so I will pop in when I can after school or if I get a break in between classes.

A quick heads-up everyone. From what I can tell by reading through in the main RP thread we go to May 8th, as as you probably know from reading my recent collabs with Zombie, Atka's going on the covert operation the next day, May 9th. I think the operation is going to last 4 days in-rp, so expect a potential mission on May 12-13th within the story.

Keep that in mind for your timeframe of base rps while the covert operation is going on. I'm not exactly sure what the people on-base would be told about Atka's departure yet.

Whoever said it was Super-Human Vision? She can see way less than a normal person. Also, David cross is an engineer, not a doctor, he used the tools of his trade to give his daughter sight. I'd like to see Dr. Shen give someone new eyeballs, yaknowhatimsayin?
There's still a translation from some digital signal into a one the sight-centre of the brain would understand (as I did quote from what you wrote). If he can connect a digital signal to the sight centre, why not have it be video? We have digital cameras, which I imagine are infinitely less complex than infrawave detection devices. I'm sure if Dr. Shen were given the opportunity to analyse the device implanted in Ammelia he would have very little trouble making an implant that can send video signals into the brain. It has nothing to do with the complexity of the eye, which is indeed complex and difficult to mimic, it has to do with digital signals being interpreted by the sight centre of the brain (as sight, I imagine). I suppose I thought it was super-human vision because if it were inferior to the imagery of a camera it would have been much easier to give her such vision instead. As did I assume it also translated sound into similar digital visual signals, since that technology already exists (sonar), which would totally grant super-human vision...

Perhaps I'm over-analyzing again...

I like to think that the reason David didn't use Video instead was because he didn't people to see it a Video camera sticking out of her head. He wants his daughter to look and act like a normal girl so that other people won't treat her differently. Also keep in mind the SAaIDA is a prototype and is still in development, by the time that David is finished with it she will be able to see at the level of a normal person.
