Okay, I'm inaugurating a new inspiration thread with this link:
Harvard Scientist creates "intergalactic subway map" of the Milky Way. Surely we can do something with this? -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. 
Sounds like the basis of a wormhole network, eh? But then, hasn't someone else done this? One of our own, even? Though I must admit that I like how this
version tracks with the rest of the galaxy at large. (^_^) 
Here is some nice "cameo fodder" for pics of the Senshi "Fraction"
''We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.'' -- James Nicoll
... That's almost as bad as the so-called 'Saban Moon'.
They do have a look of work by someone who got a brief glance at Sailor Moon and decided to rip off some names, don't they?
-- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak.
This one's going to be of use to any fan who wants to be accurate in things dealing with guns...
http://www.imfdb.org It's exactly what it says on the tin: Internet Movie Firearms DataBase. -- Sucrose Octanitrate. Proof positive that with sufficient motivation, you can make anything explode.
Wow. They've finally invented the neuristor:
Quote:An Organic Transistor Paves the Way for New Generations of Neuro-Inspired Computers-- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak.
These guys ought to get into handwavium bigtime: DIY Biology
-- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak.
Well, http://www.sjgames.com/gurps/books/spac ... aceships7/]GURPS Spaceships 7: Divergent and Paranormal Tech is out. Having had a look through it, there are a few interesting things in there.
I know we established that Opportunity was the 'waved Mars probe, but http://xkcd.com/695/]today's xkcd makes me want to add Spirit to the Fen-AI list.

Lemme just add this for some of the planetbound oceanic fen... maybe.
Pay especial attention to the three "Innsmouth Look" pic links. ''We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.'' -- James Nicoll Foxboy Wrote:Lemme just add this for some of the planetbound oceanic fen... maybe.I am so incredibly tempted to steal one of those Herbert West images and slap it onto The Professor's writeup... -- Rob Kelk "Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose them.

Ebony the Black Dragon http://ebony14.livejournal.com "Good night, and may the Good Lord take a Viking to you."
APOD: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap100203.html]It won't hurt if we tap each other's fenders at 0.1c, will it?

There's a link to short article about that picture in a post I just made up in General/General.

Factional chemistry made simple: The Periodic Table of Science Fiction.

... Hrrrmmmm.... I dunno, I think I'd tweak it some. Some things like the Sequels just can't count as 'elements' of Sci-Fi. But then, I'm thinking of things from the perspective of story elements and not political factions among the Fen.
If we actually had a FenWiki page for the Three Graces (instead of the disambiguation pointer-page we have now), I'd put http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap100209.html]today's APOD on it...

What would the 'Modern' Graces use a 'fuel tank and boosters' for anyways? Long range mission pack?
No, because even handwavium "knows" that Shuttles Use Main Boosters To Get Out Of Earth's Atmosphere. It's part of what makes them Shuttles.
Excepting that russkie knockoff, of course. But the rules there are different because it's a russkie knockoff. -- Rob Kelk "Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose them.

Oi! Don't be knocking the People's Shuttle, you bourgeois pig!

Boys, jeeze. Po-tay-toe, po-tah-toe, all the same to me. Big glorious white rocket-powered space-planes. (^_^)
As for the other stuff... Well, as far as I know the 'Wave also understands the concept of 'repurposing.' It just needs a bit of nudging from an outside force - usually a human. 
‘The fact that you simians live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed your perspective tends to be.’- Douglas Adams (Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy re: Humanity)
