I'll be very honest, I don't have a very clear recollection of what happened during the actual battle because I hit my head really bad when I ejected. I vaguely remember ordering Calvin to lead the attack. There was complete chaos and ships were flying everywhere shooting at anything they could. Calvin and I were to attack the Terra while everyone else engaged everything else. "Aright folks, here they come. I'm giving you very clear instructions now. If your shields fall below 40% you warp to the Sisters of Domina Sanctuary. I'm sending the coordinates to you. It's been an honor everyone! Kick butt and don't get your asses killed. For FREEDOM!! " I remember Taylor screaming as he charged towards the incoming fleet. "Oh? So you've chosen oblivion? …show more content…
Tychus here. We're losing men! I'm taking the Marauders out to recharge the shields!" "Commander Taylor! This is Deimos One; bulkhead breach imminent!" It was then that I remembered a bright yellow light gathering around the Terra. My worst fears had come true. "Hey Anderson?! Do you wanna save the thousands of people in that commune along with your family?" Taylor yelled across on the two-two frequency. I knew exactly what he meant. Decker was only after both of us and everyone else was merely collateral damage to him. I knew exactly what the outcome of my decision would be and I was ready to accept it. "Okay Calvin. I'm up for it. Call it in and have everyone evacuate before that thing charges up to full power." I replied. "Good, cause if you run out on me like you did last time, Decker's gonna track you wherever you go and destroy everything in between. Decker won't give a @#$! if everyone else warps." he said frantically even as the anti anti-matter coating bubble surrounded the Terra to protect it from becoming annihilated itself. The golden lights also became brighter by the second. "I won't leave you this time Calvin. I'm with you." I replied earnestly. Taylor got on the comm and called in the evac
“See, I told you. Look how fast they’re walking now, and to them it seems like we’re following them,” Jamal exclaimed with an angered look on his face.
Democratic localism was also enforced to keep the government at bay, allowing people to make their own economic decisions. Capitalism was renewed due to growth. Americans were enjoying various freedoms in politics, religion and travel. Nixon stated in one of his speeches that the United States had “come closest to the idea of prosperity for all in a classless society (166).”
She licked her bottom lip and gave her head a shake. She knew she couldn’t just stand back and watch from afar and hope everything was going to turn out okay. No, she need to do something, something to help. “You know I’m with you Ryder, you don’t even have to ask. Though, I feel as if I could be of better use here in town.” She stated honestly. Uncrossing her arms she placed them on her hips. “I can make ammo as well as bombs here in town,” her head tilted off to the side, “If we can find the shit I need to make

When the world famous liberal thinker Francis Fukuyama in his masterpiece declared that we were witnessing the end of the history, he was greeting the new political structure and also the new international environment, which is peaceful[1]. However, developments that occurred after the collapse of the Soviet Union showed us that the dissolution of the Soviets was unexpected. The international society was not ready for peace and Fukuyama’s optimistic assumptions were far from becoming real. Moreover, the international society currently started to realise that the tension and the potential of mass destructive war during the Cold War era had provided a
“Very good! Then Kate and I should head in right away. We don’t want to make those poor people stay trapped for any longer than they have to be.” Without another word, Mr. Jacks and Kate headed into the force field.
“Well they probably use some kind of light travel which allows them to travel faster”. The survivors decided to do a few research until they find the
1. How NSC-68 influenced America’s response to Communist North Korea’s invasion of South Korea in June 1950 and to Communist expansion in Southeast Asia in the 1960s. The NSC-68 called for military assistance programs that would meet the requirements of our allies. Since South Korea was an ally, we assisted them in repelling the invasion of another communist nation. This help for South Korea meant that a communist nation would be weakened and therefore possibly cripple a potential ally for the Soviet Union. Also, South Korea would then respond to a call for aid if the Soviet Union ever attacked
Imagine a really embarrassing moment or a time that resulted in a lot of trouble. Does it bring on chills or a shudder? Most people understand everyone makes mistakes in their life, though, like saying or doing that one thing they know they should not which got them into a lot of trouble. Fortunately, it is typical that people have a parent or parent figure in their life to tell them what they are doing is wrong and why so next time they learn and make the right decision or do not do it again.
Creativity and innovation are necessary in life, whether it is for evolving and adapting to new surroundings or for pulling a company out of a financial crisis, we use our creative abilities and innovate every day. In order to develop and grow the ability to think creatively, one must first understand where these ideas come from and in what environment innovation flourishes. Steven Johnson, Edward Burger, and Michael Starbird suggest change comes from productive thinking and working collaboratively in a group. Effective thinking can be broken down into five essential elements, while working collaboratively in a group setting allows for different views on the topic at hand creating a stronger more defined product or process.
The Cold War was a response to the perceived threat by the United States that Communism would interfere with national security and economic stakes in the world. It was a perceived threat by communist countries that the United States would take to the world. During the Cold War, the United States, Russia, and other countries made efforts to avoid another world war, while warring in proxy in other lands. The devastation caused by the hydrogen bombs exploded in Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the next technological advancements became only deterrents to the public. Governments had their own agenda which would result in worsening the strain between nations. The United States hid behind a curtain of nationalism resulting in increased
In 1947, the Cold War had started, named after how both of the disputing sides did not fight but only threatened each other with new technologies. The U.S and Soviet Union disagreements on political systems and also questioned war reparation, show how they cause the Cold War with their mistrust and technological issues.
In 1961 President John F Kennedy put together a doctrine, which altered from President Eisenhower’s one. It was to “Respond flexibly to communist expansion, especially guerrilla warfare.” (Roskin & Berry, 2010, p. 58) It was a time when the Cold War was at its height and nuclear weapons a mass threat and source of power. This doctrine was aimed at using alternative means before opening into combat. This, in light of the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, it succeeded in doing.
There is a large debate in our country today on an exceedingly pressing issue: racism. Many are ignorant to the levels of discrimination acted out in the United States. They debate that we as a country are moving forward and past our history of segregation. But when one looks at the facts, is informed on current events, and sees the truth that lies throughout the country, the answer is spelled out. Racism is still extremely present in American society, especially in cases of police brutality, while the court system is unwilling to do anything to stop it, and needs to stop it in order to create justice.
It is 1945 and some of my generation has already arrived, with more yet to come. The month is June and I just arrived. President Truman is in office. The war in Europe just ended, and the war with Japan is about to end. The Cold War has started but it will be two years before they officially call it the Cold War. In case you were wondering that is me in the carriage, as you can see I am not really too concerned about world events as of yet. I’m pretty sure that the rest of my generation isn’t either. It is also my guess that we won’t be for a while. However, as I said history is relevant and many world events will take place in the next nineteen years that will lead some of us toward war, and others toward what I believe to committing the unforgivable crime of treason.
