U20 World Junior Championships Game Day: Day Three 12-28-12
Submitted by pete on December 28, 2012 - 10:46Sweden 3 vs. Switzerland 2 (SO)
Tanner Richard, Switzerland, 0-0-0, -1, 2 PIM, 1 SOG
Tournament totals: 2 GP, 0-3-3, +1, 2 PIM
Victor Rask's shootout tally lifted Sweden to a 3-2 shootout victory over Switzerland. Switzerland took Sweden to the brink, and held a lead into the Third Period on Mike Kunzle's third goal of the tournament, but they could not hold off the defending Gold Medalists. Tanner Richard was scoreless in the match and took a minor for high sticking that turned into Sweden's opening goal of the game. He was also 50% on draws. The Swiss now sit in 2nd place on the Group A table with games against Finland and Czech Republic yet to go. They face the Finns next on Sunday.
Russia 2 vs. USA 1
Nikita Kucherov, Russia, 0-0-0, E, 2 PIM, 3 SOG
Tournament totals: 2 GP, 1-0-1, +1, 2 PIM
Nikita Nesterov, Russia, 0-1-1, E, 0 PIM, 0 SOG
Tournament totals: 2 GP, 0-2-2, +2, 0 PIM
Artem Sergeev, Russia, 0-1-1, +1, 0 PIM, 2 SOG
Tournament totals: 2 GP, 0-1-1, E, 0 PIM
Andrey Vasilevskiy, Russia, DNP
Tournament totals: 1 GP, 1-0-0, 0 SO, 1.85 GAA. .941 sv%
Artem Sergeev (pictured) assisted on Viktor Tkachyov's goal early in the Third Period that gave Russia a critical 2-1 win over Team USA. Sergeev's helper means that all Lightning prospects have now found the scoresheet in Ufa, through the first two games of the Round Robin. Fellow Lightning prospect defenseman Nikita Nesterov also had a helper in the match, assisting an Albert Yarullin goal on the power play. Forward Nikita Kucherov took a holding minor in the match, and was in the box for Jacob Trouba's lone goal for the Americans. Andrey Vasilevskiy sat backup to undrafted Saskatoon netminder Andrei Makarov who turned away 41 shots for the win. Russia faces Germany next on Saturday and sits 2nd behind Canada on the Group B table.
U20 World Junior Championships Game Day: Day Two 12-27-12
Submitted by pete on December 27, 2012 - 09:33Switzerland 7 vs. Latvia 2
Tanner Richard, Switzerland, 0-3-3, +2, 0 PIM, 1 SOG
Tournament totals: 1 GP, 0-3-3, +2, 0 PIM
In what should come as no surprise to OHL fans, Lightning prospect Tanner Richard started his tournament with assists in triplicate in Switzerland's 7-2 thumping of Team Latvia. Perhaps more impressively though, Richard's assists came at even strength, shorthanded, and on the power play, respectively, missing the empty netter for a "Lemieux cycle" of assists (no assists can be awarded on a penalty shot, of course). He was also 75% on his draws in the game, as Switzerland dominated the faceoff circles overall. Switzerland faces Sweden next on Friday.

The Horny Toad Stripe Out Boat Twist Shirt is a long-sleeved women's shirt that is probably not recommended for wearing on the high seas. Despite the "boat shirt" moniker, the shirt is non-insulated and 100% cotton. As a cotton shirt, the shirt will not rapidly dry when soaked, which is likely to happen when out boating on the ocean or enjoying the sun on the lake. Luckily, though, the shirt can double for everyday wear when going out with friends for lunch or relaxing at the park. During a sun-filled day, the light materials will not be overbearing to those worried about heat and perspiration. As a long-sleeve, you can also avoid smelling like sunscreen, since most of your upper body will be covered without compromising style or comfort.

All the philosophers of the world have not even been able to make a dent in the problem - because they have moved in a wrong way. Problems are not to be solved; problems need to be dissolved, and that is a totally different path - the path of the mystics. They don't solve the problems, they simply create devices in which problems disappear into thin air.
One great philosopher came to Gautam Buddha. He was known all over the country for his great commentaries on the Vedas and the Upanishads and the Gita. He had thousands of followers. He had brought his most scholarly followers with him. Still, the number was big enough - five hundred scholars followed him. They were going to challenge Gautam Buddha; and the man had challenged many, many scholars, professors, learned people - and he had defeated them. This was a routine thing in India - that scholars used to move from town to town, challenging; and if anybody who accepted their challenge was defeated, he had to become their follower; or if the scholar was defeated, he had to become their follower with all his followers. The country had remained for almost five thousand years in a very strange philosophical atmosphere.
This man came to Gautam Buddha and said, "I have come here to challenge you. I want to know what is your definition of truth, and from there we can begin our discussion. I have brought with me my five hundred most scholarly followers. If you win we will all become your disciples, but if you are defeated, then this is the condition: you, with all your disciples, will have to become my disciple."
Gautam Buddha said, "There is no problem in it. Before we begin the discussion, I want to ask one question. It is not part of the discussion; it is just to be acquainted with each other. Have you asked this question other scholars and so-called wise people?"
He said, "Yes, I have asked thousands of people. Many of them are my followers, because I defeated them."
Gautam Buddha said, "What have you gained? Have you come to know the truth by discussing it? Have you come to know the truth by defeating these people? One thing is certain: that you are logically more clever, sharper, than these other people. But it does not prove that you know what truth is - and even if you defeat me, you will not know what truth is. Do you want to know the truth, or simply to waste your life in defeating people?"
The man had never been faced with such a question. He said, "I really want to know the truth."
"Then," Buddha said, "discussion is not going to help; because the truth that I know cannot be brought into words - and you don't know the truth. Otherwise, what was the need to travel thousands of miles to come to me?
"I suggest one thing: you just sit by my side. For two years you have to remain silent - no question, no speaking, and relax so totally that slowly, slowly even your thoughts disappear. When two years are over, I will remind you that now we can enter into the discussion: you can ask your question."
At that very time, Mahakashyapa, who was sitting under a tree, started laughing loudly. The man said, "Is this man mad?"

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Foxfire, also sometimes called "fairy fire", is the bioluminescence created by some species of fungi present in decaying wood. The bluish-green glow is attributed to luciferase, an oxidative enzyme, which emits light as it reacts with luciferin. It is widely believed that the light attracts insects to spread spores, or acts as a warning to hungry animals, like the bright colors exhibited by some poisonous or unpalatable animal species.[1] Although generally very dim, in some cases foxfire is bright enough to read by.[2]
The oldest recorded documentation of foxfire is from 382 B.C., by Aristotle, whose notes refer to a light that, unlike fire, was cold to the touch. The Roman thinker Pliny the Elder also mentioned glowing wood in olive groves.[3]
Foxfire was used to illuminate the needles on the barometer and the compass of Turtle, an early submarine.[4] This is commonly thought to have been suggested by Benjamin Franklin; a reading of the correspondence from Benjamin Gale, however, shows that Benjamin Franklin was only consulted for alternative forms of lighting when the cold temperatures rendered the foxfire inactive.
After many more literary references to foxfire by early scientists and naturalists, its cause was discovered in 1823. The glow emitted from wooden support beams in mines was examined, and it was found that the luminescence came from fungal growth.[5]
The "fox" in "foxfire" may derive from the Old French word fols, meaning "false", rather than from the name of the animal.[6] The association of foxes with such fires is widespread, however, and occurs in Japanese folklore.

two break into pender "library"Submitted by guestmk (not verified) on Tue, 10/09/2012 - 3:41pm.
OK, this is Hilarious!!! Morans. These idiots are exactly the 47% Romney is talking about. They'll never change, never get jobs, never amount to anything. They'll vote for Obama because they want free stuff. What did they plan to steal? Did they know they were breaking into a library? Could they READ the sign. Talk about a waste of taxpayer dollars. Dealing with these morans on a daily basis has to be so aggravating to the police. »

What these plants have in common is that they all call South America home and you can find them growing naturally in trees.

UNCW STUDENTS ARE UNDERAGESubmitted by UNCW robot (not verified) on Fri, 10/19/2007 - 6:16pm.
so why is it a bunch of 18-20 year old UNCW students need rides from downtown at 2AM? Drunk? How is that possible they are underage right?
I say crack down on the underage drinking and enforce laws that prohibit the service of alcohol to customers who SEEM to be impared.

This product is alright. I put this in my hair when it is wet or damp because i want smooth waves and curls. However the bottle's directions on the back are right; you should probably blow dry it after you put it in your hair. It doesn't really make a huge noticeable difference, it just maybe makes my hair a little bit softer but doesn't really fight frizz. I use my John frieda leave in conditioning spray with it and I honestly think that does a better job of controlling frizz. But it's not greasy if you know how much to put in, and it doesn't make your hair greasy. It smells soooo good though!
I hate this crap! It made my hair greasy, then sticky, then dry and kind of dry and yucky. It had a nice smell, but overall terrible product! Towards the end, I used it for a foot moisturizer... Lol. I truly dislike all garnier products. They need to start over.
I'm pretty satisfied with this serum. It's easy to use, does what it claims, and it smells pretty. I use 2 pumps and smooth through my ends, comb through, and then just blow dry my hair while bending over and brushing my hair with a vent brush. The results are smooth with very little frizz, nothing that a flat iron/curling iron wouldn't take care of. It leaves my hair soft and very touchable. Doesn't weigh it down at all. I would repurchase. My hair feels "clean" and that is so important when it comes to hair serums for me. It's so irritating to put a serum on and watch your just washed hair turn to a heavy greasy mess that doesn't want to style. This will make your hair silky and keep that just washed "clean" feeling. Not every serum does that.
I have to say I was pretty hesitant when first purchasing this. I'm a L'Oreal girl personally, but the Everpure shampoo & conditioner just doesn't cut it in the spring & summer. I have used this twice a week for the last 3 weeks and my hair has never looked this good. With the shampoo and this my hair is shiny and smooth. It also has a really nice bounce to it now, I have no problems with it looking greasy, it just looks awesome. I would totally suggest this to someone else. Love it!
This product makes my damaged ends look smooth, sleek, and glossy once again. I have thick curly hair, and less than one pump is all I need for gorgeous results! I highly recommend this hair product to anyone with dry ends or hair that has lost some of its shine. Garnier has me addicted to this stuff! I can actually get a comb through my thick hair because of this great hair product. This is something I could never do until I tried Sleek & Shine. Believe me, that's saying something. If you're on the fence about buying this styling serum, I suggest you give it a chance. Just make sure you don't put it on your roots, or your hair will look oily.
I use this stuff in wintertime twice a week when I need to dry my hair during the winter when it's too cold to let my hair even partially air dry. It's sleek and shiny and NOT weightless. This stuff is mostly non-water soluble silicones and oil. My hair easily can get heavy and greasy from buildup from this stuff so I follow specific rules: Use only twice a week. Any more and it builds up. Use only silicone-free shampoo and conditioners. This stuff has enough silicone already. Apply to only wet hair and blow dry. This stuff is too heavy for dry hair. When I follow those rules I'm happy with the stuff. It makes my hair shiny and manageable in dry winter air. If I use more than twice a week or use more silicone added products I get an itchy and greasy scalp and dry ends. One pump bottle has lasted me for months and I'm still nowhere near the end of it, but once it's gone I'll look for something that not so finicky in its use.
I absolutely LOVED this stuff for my heat trained natural hair. When I would heat style...one pump of this would leave my hair shiny, frizz free, not weighed down and beautiful....it looked even better when I waved my hair. NOW the problem with this product? It causes seborrheic dermatitis....BAD. My scalp itches so bad and flakes so much from this product that it caused me to not be able to use it unless I am dry combing before I wash my hair.
I use this product every time I shower. After I shower, I use one pump of this and just spread it all over my damp hair. When it dries, it really is silky and shiny. It smells amazing as well. I've already gone through 2 bottles. I will always repurchase!
Garnier's Fructis Anti-Frizz Serum says it will weighlessly make your hair shinier, sleeker, and control the frizz. It actually does do this; HOWEVER, the reason it does so it because this stuff is the greasiest product I have ever used. This might as well be vegetable oil! It will make your hair shiny (from the greasiness) and sleek (from the greasiness), and less frizzy (because it'll be so greasy that NOTHING will be frizzing. The only good thing I can say about this is that I like the look of the packaging (although even that is countered by the fact that the pump dispenses too much product). If I could give this product 0 stars I would. Two thumbs way down on this one and it's going right back to Wal-Mart!
If I could describe this in one word, it would be "meh." I mean yeah, it's cheap, but it did virtually nothing for my hair. At all.
Actually, that's not entirely true. See, there's really no control of how much product comes out of the pump, so upon my first attempt at using this, it basically flooded into my hands and left them greasy, left my hair greasy, and resulted in my hair smelling like some weird green apple. The circular shape of the bottle is cute, that is, until you try to store it next to other products and it drastically reduces the amount of space you have left for other storage.
It did add some shine to my hair, and the frizz became rather calm, though I'm not entirely sure if that's because the serum was actually working, or because my hair was so greasy there was shine resulting from that and lack of frizz because my hair was weighed down.
I will not be repurchasing, unless I find some way to control how much product is dispensed.

GOP Race Heats Up
The G.O.P. race marches on to South Carolina, and the rhetoric heats up.
While Mitt Romney is hoping for a third-round win in South Carolina, his underdog opponents are hoping for a knockout.
The Republican frontrunner is being hammered over the airwaves, online in a documentary, and on the stump where Newt Gingrich is turning up the heat - and not apologizing. "I think that the American people deserve to know things," said Newt Gingrich, (R) Presidential Candidate.
Rick Perry is trying to shoot down Romney's credentials as a job creator. "We need to have more venture capitalism going on in America - and less vulture capitalism," said Rick Perry, (R) Presidential Candidate.
After winning Iowa and New Hampshire, Romney can afford to shrug off the attacks. "It was said a long, long ago, politics ain't bean bags," said Mitt Romney, (R) Presidential Candidate.
Ron Paul is avoiding the attacks altogether, but they're not sitting well with some other Republicans including opponent Rick Santorum. "It is bad enough for Barack Obama to blame folks in business for causing problems in this country. It's one other thing for Republicans to join in on that," said Rick Santorum, (R) Presidential Candidate.
Nine days left until South Carolina ... And the G.O.P. Presidential campaign is heating up.

Only A Point But A Key Goal From Platt
Northampton Town may look back on Saturday's draw against Scunthorpe as a vital result
Aidy Boothroyd hailed a 'massive' point for his team after Clive Platt's 78th minute equaliser ended a run of defeats and helped build spirits ahead of another home game next Saturday.
It leaves the Cobblers lagging in the lower reaches of the League Two table but their manager shows no sign of losing his faith in the squad he has assembled and subsequently tweaked over the summer months.
"I am a lot happier even though we haven't got the points that we had at this stage last year," he said.
"I'm not trying to be Mystic Meg, but I do see what is in front of us."

Families are valuable allies in pursing an education. Parents, siblings, wives, partners, and relatives of all kinds can help keep up spirits, provide moral support, and help keep a student on track. Having a family that provides support and understanding when a student needs time to do homework and study is one of the key elements of a successful college experience.
Ancilla knows how important families are and we understand life goes on outside the classroom. We provide frequent and ongoing ways for a student to stay connected with parents and loved ones and we encourage families to visit the college and see what Ancilla offers. We have seen generations of family members attend Ancilla over the years and have received generous support from alumni and their family members– some have told us when one son or daughter attended here, it seemed like the whole family attended Ancilla.
But education does not start and stop at the doors of the College. Students need to spend two hours outside of class studying for every hour they are in class. Most classes meet for three credit hours and that means a minimum of six hours of work will need to be completed outside of class each week. Families can help by providing a space and a quiet environment for this to happen.
Students typically take at least 12 credit hours a semester and that means they will need about 24 hours a week to study and do homework. Some of that can be done between classes, but other times they will need a quite environment at home and time to go to the campus or community library.
If you see your student struggling with a class, suggest they seek help. Ancilla has a Math Lab and Writing Lab to help students in these areas. The College can also assist students in other subject areas. The Center for Student Achievement Lab is located in room 204 and will try and match students with tutors in all subject areas. They request a 48 hours advance request for students seeking help in a subject (other than writing, math or nursing) for the first time. The nursing tutor is scheduled out of the Nursing office.
Many times the support they get from home can be the difference between success and failure.
Living nearby and commuting to Ancilla
Some Ancilla students live at home and commute to classes each day. Others have moved into the area and are away from home for the first time. Ancilla College does not currently offer on-campus housing, but the area has several houses and apartments that students can rent. (Click here for a list of local rental housing options.) The Admissions Office and Athletic Office are excellent places to discuss housing options and locations. Some students use the Ancilla Facebook page to meet new students and find roommates.

Bryan Fuller Teases HANNIBAL Season 3 Characters
By Charles Webb on May 27, 2014
Spoilers for the Season 2 finale of Hannibal ahead.
After the bloodbath of the Hannibal Season 2 finale, the question isn't just what new characters are going to show up for Season 3, but what characters from Season 2 will even make it out alive for the next chapter in the Bryan Fuller-produced series.
Fuller, speaking with TV Guide, promised that Season 3 would remain faithful to the events of 'Red Dragon,' the Thomas Harris novel that forms the backbone for the series, but don't go holding out hope that our heroes will survive Hannibal's bold and bloody escape:
"We are staying very true to in the incident in the novel with Will and Hannibal and it's very basic outcome… There's going to be an impact from what's happened here. It's safe to say that not everybody survives. Everyone that's laying there breathing could be breathing their last breaths. It doesn't go well for all of them.
"One of the wonders of this season is: Will Alana survive and will Jack Crawford survive? Will Abigail Hobbs survive? Those are things that are going to be revealed very slowly at the beginning of Season 3."
Ouch. I'm surprised Fuller's even offering hope for Abigail's survival: the troubled daughter of the Minnesota Shrike, Abigail was corrupted by Hannibal before seemingly being killed near the end of Season 1 (and losing her ear in the process). It would be strange to bring her back only to kill her off again, but then, that was the real horror of Hannibal's actions in last week's finale: he'd put the lives of everyone Will cared about in doubt as the quartet of Will, Alana, Jack, and Abigail bled out in Dr. Lecter's home.
How will Dr. Lecter – last seen relaxing like it was nothing on a plane with Gillian Anderson's Dr. du Maurier – figure into next season? He won't be the only long-term killer facing Will, given that Fuller plans to introduce the as-yet uncast Francis Dolarhyde, the killer who plagues Harris' Red Dragon.
And he won't be alone, according to Fuller, who says that the next season will be a juxtaposition of story elements across multiple books:
"Season 3 is going to be a lot of fun because it's going to be taking a lot of disparate elements from the novel 'Hannibal Rising' and the novel 'Hannibal' and mashing them up together as part of the thrust of the season. It's going to be fun to bastardize two novels into one sort of Frankenstein season. I will brace everybody right now: We're significantly changing the 'Hannibal' origin story from 'Hannibal Rising.'
The books won't necessarily be in sequential order. We'll be hitting elements of each of them except 'Silence of the Lambs' in the next season. My hope is that not only do we have a completely different Hannibal Lecter story in Season 3, but we will meet some of those great characters like Francis Dolarhyde and Lady Murasaki and weave them into the world in a unique way."
Lady Murasaki is Hannibal's step-aunt who teaches a young Mr. Lecter the finer points of etiquette in 'Hannibal Rising.' Since the series hasn't really done flashbacks up to this point, it's likely we'll see an older version of the character in season three.
[Source: TV Guide via ScreenRant]
Hannibal did do a flashback, actually. The 7th episode of the first season had flashbacks about Jack Crawford's intern
Final paragraph: you mean 'younger' version of this character, right?
Actually, I think he meant that the character is Lady Murasaki, which Hannibal might end up visiting throughout the season
Based on the novels Graham only survives. Rest stents tally on the novels so who knows
Based on the Novels Jack Crawford and Dr. Alan Bloom are alive when Hannibal is in captivity, as well as Will Graham.
Did you really have to spoil the show without even warning the people who might see your comment ? Fuck you.
As said, Mr Fuller doesn't stick to the books completely. So this is all speculation. And if you're afraid of spoilers then you shouldn't visit sites that deal with hannibal season 3…
And you are rude…-
in books even dr.chilton is alive when hannibal is held captive , so dont expect the books in the tv
Jack Crawford was alive in Red Dragon and in Silence of the Lambs. In the novel Red Dragon, Abigail Hobbs was mentioned as having survived her father's attack and went onto college after intensive psychotherapy. There is no Alana Bloom in any novel, Only an Alan Bloom is mentioned very briefly in Red Dragon.

Title: Entomophobia
Pairings: None
Rating: PG
Warnings: Disturbing imagery
Author's Note: This is my submission for the TF-SecretSanta Halloween Trade for xDeadlyxxxDesirex. This is a Halloween story, so I tried for scary. It's not as lighthearted as my normal fics, although it has its humorous moments (I couldn't help myself). I pulled on two personal fears of mine when I wrote this, to try and add some real creepiness to it. I hope it works. Time conversions: Klik 1.2 minutes, Nanoklik approximately 1 second. Comm transmissions are marked with colons ::like this.::
The Rust Sea spread across Cybertron's equator, an immense red scar across its surface. Erratic pillars twisted into the sky. Corrosive gasses bled from the ground, slowly eating the land away, turning everything to an endless expanse of rust. Across the ground, miniature hills rose and fell, forming 'waves' that traveled as far as the optic could see.
Numerous Cybertronian artists tried to duplicate the Rust Sea in their works: holograms, sculptures and flat images. They flaunted its mysterious nature, or its inherent melancholy. Poets continuously churned out sonnets, striving to capture the breadth of emotions the rolling sea invoked. One moment majestic and awe-inspiring, the next empty and mournful. High born citizens purchased tours, coming from all corners of Cybertron to see its famous spires or valleys. In a world almost entirely made of metal, the Rust Sea was unique. It was intriguing, unnerving. It was beautiful.
Starscream hated it.
Everything here was dead and decaying. Just looking at this place was akin to having death gazing back at him. The scientist in him wondered what had lived here, that was now slowly withering away. What cities lay hidden under this rust-covered ground? How many thousands millions? of Cybertronians were forgotten here, their bodies mingling with each others, and blown away in the wind? How much death did it take to create this much rust?
Starscream planned to live forever. So far, he had done fairly well towards that end. But as he flew over the Rust Sea, an unbidden thought worried into his processor: how many of the dead that he now traveled over had also planned to live forever?
Part of his aversion to this place was undoubtedly due to Megatron's repeated threats to terminate him, and abandon his carcass here. The tyrant had done it to others who had displeased him. A key strategy in his 'living forever' plan was displeasing Megatron as little as possible. Or, at least, not getting caught.
Pleasing Megatron was why he was in this forsaken place to begin with. Damned Autobots.
Someone had boarded a Decepticon vessel on the Hydrax Plateau, stolen prototype plans of something no one seemed willing to share details of what was stolen with Starscream, probably on orders from Megatron and then left, all without being seen. The Autobots ranks included some amazing spies, but only one that could pull that off.
They discovered the theft within moments, and shut down the spaceport. Decepticon troops spread out, searching every possible area. Futilely, Starscream knew. Their quarry would have already fled the only way available: the Rust Sea, which surrounded Hydrax Plateau. Starscream began the grueling task of hunting a bot he couldn't see. One who had fled in an unknown direction.
Hopefully Mirage would forget to cover his tire tracks.
After an extensive search, which took him farther and farther away from Hydrax, his long-distance scanners detected a sudden variance in the sea's waves. Engaging his thrusters to full burn, he swung around for a better view. At the base of a rusted spire, a fresh trail broke through the waves, headed away from Hydrax. The spires in this area were close enough that a skilled grappler could maneuver from one to the other, and never touch the ground. Clever, Mirage. But he broke cover too soon. As Starscream began to pursue the spy, his comm sounded.
::Shockwave to Starscream.::
::Shockwave? What do you want?:: Starscream replied, surprised.
::You're approached a restricted area. Change your flight path to ::
::Negative.:: Starscream interrupted. ::I'm in pursuit of an Autobot spy. On Megatron's orders. I don't answer to you.::
::You must alter your
:: The rest of Shockwave's statement faded into static.
::Shockwave? I've lost your signal.:: Static answered Starscream. Not that he was complaining. He ran a quick diagnostic, but all systems came back operational. There was an unusual amount of radiation. Odd, but he shrugged it off. In case the other could still receive, he added, ::Continuing my pursuit.::
Still several kliks away, a low plateau rose from the red waves. Mirage's trail swerved to intersect with it. Noticing the plumes of rust drifting away, Starscream felt a thrill of excitement race through him. Soon. The trail dead-ended against the plateau's base, at a
door? There was a door out here? Scanning and enhancing the image, Starscream noted several symbols: the Decepticon Science and Research Division and numerous hazard warnings. Interesting. Shockwave headed Science and Research. Of more interest were the tire tracks that converted to footprints in front of the door's access panel. Tracks that led to the panel, but not away. Tracks with no owner. Even as he watched, the panel's face lifted off, wires disappearing then reappearing a moment later, rearranged. Checking the range, Starscream readied his weapons. Not having a visible enemy to target, he locked onto the access panel. Shockwave could replace it later.
As he entered range, the door opened. Starscream fired. His shots burst against the panel and the cliff face. One blast dispersed shortly before hitting the plateau, causing the air to ripple. For a brief moment, a blue and white mech appeared, before dashing into the doorway. The Autobot fired back at him from inside. Switching to missiles, Starscream launched his weapons at the entrance. The blasts should force Mirage farther in, and spare him from more incoming fire. The doorway vanished behind an explosion of fire and smoke. The Autobot stopped shooting.
Swinging to the side, Starscream transformed and landed next to the doorway. Inside, he heard an insistent alarm blaring. A dispassionate voice announced, " not authorized in this facility. Intruders will be destroyed."
The Seeker ignored the warning, raising his null-ray. He glanced inside. Beyond the door, a wide corridor headed straight into the plateau's interior. Dust clogged the entrance, limited his vision to almost nothing. He tried penetrating the obstruction with his sensors, but the strange radiation he noted earlier interfered, scrambling the signal. The Decepticon grimaced. He hated to go in blind, even knowing that Mirage was likely employing his invisibility anyway.
"Mirage," Starscream called out. "You're a cultured mech, I hear. Let's be civilized about this. All I want is what you stole from us. Then you can leave in peace." Silence answered him. He narrowed his optics. "Believe me when I say you do not wish to be in there when the security systems activate. I've seen the remains before. What little was left," he lied.
No answer. The Air Commander cursed to himself. Shaking his head, he entered the doorway, null-ray held ready. The smoke mostly blinded him, and the continuous alarm made his audio receptors useless.
As soon as he crossed the threshold, the computer voice intoned, "Additional intruder detected. Initiating security protocol A-5."
Starscream attempted to comm his security clearance to the facility's computer, but again static answered him. Damned interference. He had no intention of discovering what 'protocol A-5' was. Glancing at the barely visible interior security panel, he dismissed that option. Mirage might already have it targeted, expecting him to access it and just waiting for him to walk into the Autobot's trap. Instead, he lowered his vocals to a whisper, and hissed at the terminal, "This is Air Commander Starscream, vocal recognition code VRC02-AC01. Acknowledge and allow facility access."
"VRC02-AC01 acknowledged. Permission denied. You have not been approved access to this facility," the computer replied.
"What?" Starscream screeched at the security system, forgetting to keep his vocals lowered. "How can I not have access?"
The Seeker heard a quiet chuckle buried beneath the alarms wails. Growling, he aimed farther down the hall, blindly firing toward the low sound. Return laser blasts answered his attack. He threw himself to the floor, trying to trace the origin of the shots.
"Security protocol A-5 engaged," the infernal computer intoned.
The floor dropped out from under Starscream.
Free fall was a daily hazard for a Seeker and he did not fear it. Instinctively, he twisted his feet below him, igniting his thrusters. They failed. Starscream had just enough time to register his shock before he crashed into the ground. He heard another crash nearby, accompanied by a pain-filled shout. Mirage.
Starscream lay in a heap, accessing his damage. Pain registered from several injured locations, most notably his back. His optics were offline, and his proximity sensors could not focus, changing their readings from moment to moment. He could not receive an accurate scan on his current location, although he appeared to be in a large open area. The radiation interference had spiked, causing several of his systems to fluctuate wildly. He ran a diagnostic. Many of his them, including his thrusters, were inhibited or crippled. He grimaced. His null-ray was weakened to near uselessness. The only system still functioning correctly were his audio receptors. He paused, listening.
Nearby, someone groaned and cursed softly. Mirage, undoubtedly. His scanners could not lock on to the Autobot's exact location. The only other sound was a constant, but erratic, soft metallic trickling noise, like tiny bearings falling on metal.
Starscream sat up, suppressing his own groan. He was hurt, but his unreliable sensors couldn't reveal the extent of the injuries. The radiation caused his sensors to malfunction. They kept sending phantom images, small shapes moving in random patterns across the floor. Even over him. Re-routing his optics, he found a working circuit and brought them online.
Everything was pitch black.
Snapping his mouth shut, Starscream bit back a curse. There was no light here. And his other sensors were malfunctioning. Perfect. He could turn on his portable light assuming it worked, that is but that would reveal his location. And his weapon system was crippled. He had no idea if the radiation had affected Mirage's weapons as well.
Attempting to move silent, the Air Commander shifted into a crouch. Blind, he scraped his leg across the ground. He winced. Pausing, he listened to Mirage, seeing if the Autobot would react to his sudden sound. The other grunted softly, then fell silent.
"What in Primus!" Mirage suddenly screamed. "Get off! Off! Offoffoffoff!"
Starscream jumped at the sudden outburst. Weak blasts from Mirage's gun lit the chamber in choatic bursts, as he shot at the ground. In the flashes, the Seeker noticed tiny somethings crawling across the ground. The shapes skittered about randomly
like the 'phantom images' his external sensors had detected.
'Phantoms' that he had also detected on himself.
Heedless of Mirage, the Air Commander snapped on his light, illuminating a cone in front of him. He froze. Scampering over him were dozens of tiny, insectoid machines. Each possessed six long, delicate limbs, which connected to a central body. A large bulbous abdomen bobbed behind. Energon seeped from his several minor cuts, and the crawling things swarmed over those leaks. Several buried their heads in the energon flow. The abdomens of those were noticeably larger than others. As he watched, another opened its miniature mandibles and bit into an exposed wire. It gnawed and pulled off a chunk of metal.
Starscream shrieked.
Leaping to his feet, he stumbled backwards, slapping at the crawling things that infested him. They clung at him. His swipes burst as many of them as he knocked off. Still more scampered up his legs. Forgetting his earlier failure, Starscream ignited his thrusters again. The jets flared briefly, then died, not lifting him. The insectoids altered course and swarmed his feet. Specifically, his thrusters. They crawled in, and the Air Commander attempted to reignite the jets. Perhaps he could burn the creatures. The turbines whined briefly, but did not light. After the brief engine surge, the creatures became frantic. They skittered madly across his legs and feet. He stomped them, shouting curses at the horde, as he tried to shake them off of him.
Starscream brought his null-ray to bear on his own legs something he never have thought he'd do and fired. The crippled weapon still stung, but caused him no permanent damage. The bugs he hit wobbled and fell to the ground. Only to be replaced a nanoklik later. The damned things paused, then surged towards his null-ray.
"Energy! They like the energy!" Mirage yelled out.
Starscream spared the Autobot a glance. He had abandoned his blaster, and threw an energon cube on the ground. The insectoids around him swarmed the spilled liquid. Starscream nodded. Great idea, but he didn't have any energon.
He removed his null-ray, trying to ignore the dozens of bugs crawling over it and his hands, and set it to overload. It began to hum, building up energy. He quickly dropped it. Scores of bugs abandoned him to followed the doomed null-ray. Damaged as it was, he doubted it would explode. But he could hope.
"Door! There! Door!" Mirage called out, sprinting past.
"Where's it go?" Starscream yelled after him.
"Not here!"
"Works for me." He hurried to catch up, swatting more insectoids off.
Rust covered the exterior of the tall building and the door, making details almost impossible to make out. Large windows, on each side of the entrance, stared at the two. Mirage fumbled around the door frame for an access panel.
"Open it!" Starscream hissed.
"Really? I dunno, I was kinda enjoying myself out here. Shut up." Mirage found a simple pressure release switch, and pressed it. Nothing happened. He tried again, then again, cursing at it, each syllable accented by jabbing the switch, "Open. Up. You. Piece. Of. Slag
The door unlatched with a click. Leveraging their weight against it, the two Cybertronians pushed the stubborn portal open. They rushed inside and pushed it shut again. They spent the next moments swatting and stomping the last remaining bugs.
They were in the front room of the building house, Starscream guessed, looking at the what little of the layout he could see from here. The entryway extended out to include one set of windows on either side of the door, and farther back several doorways and a spiral staircase. Dust covered everything, but there was little rust inside.
Starscream paused. "I can't feel anything."
"That's a good thing. Unless you liked those bugs crawling on you."
"No, you don't understand," the Air Commander growled out. "I can't feel anything. My tactile sensors are offline. I don't feel the ground beneath my feet." He put his hand on the wall. "I can't feel this wall. It's like it's not there. Do you get it?" He paused. "I could have a hundred of those things on me, and I'd never know."
Mirage looked at him for a moment, then shrugged. "Well, if we get eaten alive, at least you won't feel it."
"Thank you. That was helpful." Starscream glared at him.
"You're welcome." Mirage crossed his arms. He tilted his head to the side and said, "I think we should call a temporary ceasefire. Neither one of us is at our best, and we seem to have larger concerns right now."
Starscream sighed. "Agreed. Any thoughts on getting out of here?"
"Well," Mirage rubbed his chin, looking thoughtful, "I was thinking how helpful it might be if we knew someone high up in the Decepticon chain of command. Like, oh, say the Second in Command? Seeing as this is a Decepticon facility, surely said mech could help us get out of here?" Mirage snapped his fingers and pointed at the glaring Starscream. "Hey, wait, aren't you the Second in Command?"
"Shut. Up." Starscream clenched his fists, turning away from the Autobot. If he got out of here, he was going to offline Shockwave.
"First thing, we should learn the layout of this place. Outside and in here. So far, I don't see those things in here, but that may not last," Mirage said. He pointed to the steelglass windows. "Let's get a look outside first."
"My scanners aren't functioning well. I'm barely reading this room. And even then, they keep cutting out," Starscream muttered.
"See what you can with your optics then."
The Seeker glared at Mirage for a moment, then approached a window. The Autobot took the opposite one. Rust layered the outside of the steelglass. It was hard to see anything. Starscream brought his light closer. And leaped back as a bug skittered across the outside surface. He glanced over, making sure the spy hadn't seen him jump. Looking back at the window, he noticed more insectoids crawling on the other side. They gathered more where his light landed on the steelglass.
"They're attracted to the light," he observed.
"Good. Keep them over there. It's hard enough looking out this thing without bugs in the way," Mirage replied.
Starscream's lip curled with disgust as more and more insectoids swarmed the window. They were so thick all he could see were tiny bodies and legs. Unease grew in his tanks. He backed away from the steelglass.
"They're attracted to the light," he repeated.
"Which is attached to my helm."
"Which is attached to my head."
"If this window breaks, or somehow they find a way in, it's reasonable to assume they'll go after their current object of fixation: the light. Which is attached to my helm. Which is attached to my head. Am I the only one who has a problem with that progression?"
Mirage paused, then replied, "Do you want an honest answer?"
"Let's try an answer that won't get you shot in the back," Starscream growled back.
"In that case, I'm terribly worried. It's my number one concern." Mirage put a hand over his spark chamber and shook his head sadly. He opened his mouth to say more, then pointed to Starscream's window. "What are they doing?"
Starscream looked where the spy pointed. "Uh, they're eating the steelglass. Time to go."
They jogged away from the door, pausing to consider the several doors and the staircase. Mirage pointed to the stairs.
"Up will only take us so far before we run out of 'up.' Those things will cut off our escape," Starscream pointed out.
"The exit is up."
"You saw a way out?"
"No. But we fell down from there. There has to be a way out up there
somewhere." Mirage shrugged.
"That is a brilliant plan. Truly."
Behind them, they heard a rending sound as the steelglass began to give.
"Up!" Mirage shouted and sprinted for the stairs. "And turn off that light! Unless you like the thought of them swarming your face."
Cursing, Starscream followed. He snapped off his light. Without his tactile sensors working, unable to feel the steps under him, he stumbled on almost each step. His scanners projected the surroundings to him, but they kept going in and out of focus. They reached the top, entering a hallway. The Seeker assumed there were doors, but his muddled sensors couldn't see them. His scanners shut off completely, blinding him. Stopping, Starscream leaned against a wall he couldn't feel.
"We need to find access to the roof," Mirage said. Starscream heard him move away. "C'mon, we don't have time to just stand around."
"My scanners are offline. Give them a second. Why aren't yours having problems?"
"You're scanners offlined?"
"It's this damned radiation. It's been messing up my systems," Starscream growled.
"Yeah, it's caused mine problems too, but it hasn't offlined anything."
"Aren't you lucky."
"That doesn't make sense. Our systems are basically the same. If it affects you one way, it should affect me the same way too. Are you injured?" Mirage asked.
"Not that I can feel," the Air Commander replied sardonically.
"We should check," the spy replied. "I can't see any real details with just scans. We need light."
Mirage snapped on his lights. Expecting a swarm of insectoids to descend on them, Starscream glanced around. The hall remained clear of bugs, although he could hear the ever present tinkling of their feet echoing in the distance. Still nervous, he flicked on his own light. Glancing down at himself, the Seeker began accessing his visible injuries. Nothing major.
"You're still bleeding." Mirage pointed to the ground at Starscream's feet.
"What? From where?" A small pool of energon gathered at the Air Commander's feet. He spun around, trying to find its source.
"Hold still." Mirage grabbed Starscream's shoulder, halting him. "It's on you back, under your wing. Nothing huge, but we should check it out." The spy glanced back towards the stairs. "This may be why they haven't followed us yet. Since they eat energon. Depending on how much you bled down there, they may be, well, you know
"What a pleasant thought." The Seeker's lip curled with disgust. "It also means I've left a wonderful, yummy trail for them to follow us with." He turned to Mirage. "I can't see it, much less reach it. Can you seal the wound?"
"I'm no medic, but I think so. Turn around, and lift your right wing. Yeah, like that. There's a pretty nasty gash here. Surprised it's not leaking more, actually. Okay, let's just take Primus save us!"
Starscream jumped, bringing his weapon arm which usually carried his null-ray but currently was empty to bear. He scanned both ends of the hall. It was empty. His eyes jerked to the ceiling. Empty. Then the floor, checking every corner. Nothing. He spun back to Mirage.
"What is your problem? Don't
" his voice trailed off. The spy looked horrified. And he was staring at Starscream. "What's wrong?"
"You don't feel that?"
"I haven't felt anything since we were attacked by those damned " Starscream cut the words off. He shook his head. "No. Please, no. One's in me, isn't it?"
Mirage ran his hand over his face. "Uh, at least two. They, uh, they look kinda, well, bloated. Um. Yeah."
"Get them out!" The Seeker looked over his shoulder towards his right wing with a mixture of fear and revulsion.
"Okay! Okay, I can do this." Mirage nodded, rubbing his hands. "No problem. Nothing to it. I got this." He stayed where he was. "Just a couple bugs. Simple."
"Stop talking about it, and just do it!" Starscream screeched. He used his left hand to push down his shoulder, and craned his head back, trying to see.
"Stop yelling at me! I got it." Mirage approached the Seeker, face contorted with disgust. "Okay, hold still." He groaned. "Ah, this is nasty. They're, uh, really swollen. Okay, I'm grabbing one and pul slaggit!"
"What?!" Starscream yelled, jumping again.
"Nasty," Mirage said, flicking energon off his hand.
"Stop. Screaming. In. My. Audios," Starscream bit out each word. "What happened?"
"Well, that was disgusting. They're gorged and I pulled on one. It wouldn't come out, so I pulled harder. It, uh, well, it popped."
"Please tell me that didn't really happen," the Air Commander muttered, wincing.
"Sure, okay." Mirage glanced at the energon still dripping off his hand. "If that makes you happy. It didn't pop."
"I hate you." Starscream shuddered. "Get the other one out. Without popping it, if that's not too much trouble."
"Since you asked so nicely," the spy muttered. He bent to examine the anxious Seeker's back again. After a few tense moments, he grunted. "Uh, problem."
"What now?"
"I think I know why your sensors are shorting out. That thing's on a junction box. Well, not so much 'on,' as 'chewing,' that is." With his clean hand, Mirage rubbed his chin.
"Wonderful. Now would be an excellent time to remove it, don't you agree?" Starscream hissed over his shoulder.
"Uh, that's the problem. It's really dug in. I'm no medic. If I yank it out, I could do more damage than good. I don't know what wires and connections'll get severed if I do that. I think we should leave it in."
Starscream turned to regard the Autobot, his face expressionless. "Mirage, it's eating me. Take it out. Please."
The spy considered him, then nodded slowly. "Alright. No guarantee what'll happen, though."
Mirage resumed working on the Seeker's back, muttering quietly. After a few moments, he maneuvered his fingers around the remaining insectoid. Warning Starscream, he gently pried the wriggling thing loose. With a growl, he tossed it aside. Both mechs tried to ignore its wet splat as it impacted the wall. Mirage looked expectantly at Starscream.
"My proximity sensors are offline. So are the scanners. Again. Sonar's gone. And internal scanners are offline. I can't run a diagnostic. Outstanding." Starscream opened his mouth to say more, but paused. He cocked his head. "Do you hear that?"
"It's their feet. That's been going on since we came in." Mirage glanced back to the stairs. He straightened. "Um, does it sound louder to you?"
"Yes, it does," the Seeker replied, backing up. "Roof, you said? Let's make a hole."
He extended his remaining weapon and opened fire on the ceiling. Moments later Mirage added his own fire. Both weapons were severely drained from the interference. It took multiple shots to break through. Once they'd opened a hole, the two mechs resorted to physical force to tear it wider. Starscream pointed to the stairs, crying out.
"We have company!"
A few bugs skittered forward, then stopped at the trail of spilled energon. More appeared. Some stopped at the fuel, while others immediately focused on the lights and rushed forward. Mirage snapped off his lights.
"Hey! That makes me the target!" Starscream squawked, unable to shut off his own light without blinding himself. The insectoids altered their course straight toward him.
"Then climb!"
They both scrambled up and onto the wide, flat roof. Old rust particles covered everything like a fine-grained sand. Mirage directed the Seeker away from the hole, hoping not to draw the bugs out from below with the light.
"They like light, right? Detach one of yours, turn it on and toss it down there," Starscream suggested.
"They'll destroy it pretty fast, but it'll distract them for a bit." Mirage rigged his light, then threw it below. The illumination was almost instantly swallowed, as the bugs swarmed it. Mirage watched a moment, then backed away, shaking his head. "Creepy." He turned his attention upwards, straining his weakened sensors. "Where's the slaggin' trap door? Oh, wait, is that it?" He pointed.
"I don't know. I can't see that far," Starscream said, frowning at the dark expanse above them.
"I'm picking up some kind of mechanism. Looks like a release clamp, and some pressure seal. Maybe. My scanners aren't working great. If we take the seal out, the door should drop open. I got it." Mirage readied his missile launcher. Taking the best aim he could, he fired the missile. Streaking fire and smoke, the projectile flew away. Moments later, the guidance failed. The missile spun wildly, then crashed to the ground. An explosion ripped through the chamber. Both mechs flinched.
"That went well," Starscream muttered. He considered the unseen ceiling above. "How's your aim?"
"Under normal circumstances, exemplary. These are hardly normal circumstances however. Why?"
"Here," the Air Commander said, pulling out a cluster bomb bundle. He separated one explosive, examining it. It fit in his palm. Popping open the casing, he fiddled with the chemicals inside. He resealed it and held it out to Mirage.
"What's that?"
"A small explosive. I've destablized it, so it'll detonate on impact. No trigger required. Don't drop it." Starscream nodded upward. "Can you hit the seal with these?"
"Yeah. I think so. Maybe." Mirage stared up. He shook his head. "It would be easier if my scanners would stay focused."
"I'll rig some more. You start throwing."
As Starscream crouched over his cluster bombs, tinkering, Mirage took aim at the distant trap door. He loosed the projectile. It arced through the air, fell short and tumbled back down. An explosion burst against a building opposite of theirs as it impacted. Lips compressed, he took another modified bomb. It flew wide to the right. Another and another launched into the air. Both missed, detonating below.
"You know," Starscream muttered, "if I wanted to throw my bombs away, there are easier ways to do it."
"Just shut up. I'd like to see you try." Mirage threw another bomb, this one almost reaching its mark, before gravity claimed it.
Starscream glanced over the edge of the roof. Below, several small chemical fires flared. Blue flames shimmered off hordes of tiny, six-legged bodies that raced across the ground. The bugs swarmed the fires, several charging to their fiery death.
"They're attracted to the light
" the Air Commander muttered. He grabbed several of the bombs, tossing them near the base of their building. Soon, numerous fires burned nearby.
"We need those to get out of here," Mirage reminded him.
"Relax. I have more," Starscream replied. "What's the matter, jealous that I can hit what I aim for?"
"Oh, yes, congratulations. You can throw something and hit the ground. You should be commended."
"Shut up. At least I'm accomplishing something."
The two mechs glared at each other for several moments. Mirage grabbed another bomb and deliberately turned away from the Decepticon. Putting all his frustration into his arm, he hurled it into the air. The projectile impacted with the trap door. With a screech of metal, one side of the trap door dropped open slightly.
"Finally!" Starscream exclaimed, ignoring the glare Mirage threw his way. A distant light shone through the opening, allowing the Air Commander to see it for the first time. He paused, noting the distance between them and the trap door. "I can't fly right now. How are we getting up there?"
Mirage pulled out his grapple gun and jiggled it. "Who needs flight?"
"I do." The Seeker considered the grapple. "But that will work for now. It's still functioning?"
"I don't know. Time to find out." Mirage took aim and fired. The grapple launched into the air, and attached itself into the edge of the trap door. The spy yanked the cord several times. It held. He nodded to the Decepticon. "The cord can't support both of us at once. You anchor it, and I'll climb up. Then I pull you up."
Starscream regarded the spy doubtfully. "And I just trust that you'll pull me up? How about I go up first?"
Mirage laughed. "I'm not stupid. Of our two factions, which one's named from the word 'deception?' My grapple, I go up first. And, in case you're thinking of knocking me off this rope somehow, remember I know the verbal command to release the grapple. Good luck finding another way to that door."
Starscream frowned at the other mech. "I'm insulted. The idea never crossed my mind," he lied. He took the grapple gun, securing the cord several times around his arm. "Just don't forget about me down here."
Mirage smirked. "I'm insulted. The idea never crossed my mind," he mimicked. Ignoring the Decepticon's scowl, he scaled up the rope. In moments, he reached the opening. He examined it. He called down, "It's a tight fit, but we should both make it through. You might scratch those fancy wings of yours." He pulled his head up through the trap door. "Uh, problem. The main door's closed."
The spy scrambled up and, bracing himself, grasped the top of the cord. Heaving, he hauled Starscream up. The Seeker, grumbling and impatient at this indignant mode of transportation, climbed as Mirage pulled. Together, they got him to the trap door and wriggled through. They surveyed the hallway half its floor sloping down to the opening and the door they had entered not so long ago.
"It's closed." Mirage gestured at the way out. "You're the Second in Command. You can open this, right?"
Remembering his failure with the facility's computer earlier, Starscream didn't reply. He approached the access panel next to the door. Blocking Mirage's view, he inputted his security clearance. The screen cycled through several verification processes. He frowned. Ridiculous amount of security for someone already inside the center.
"Identification confirmed, Air Commander. Please state the password for access," the computer intoned.
"Password? What password?" Starscream exclaimed. "Open the door!"
"Incorrect password. State the correct password, or this terminal will initiate security protocol A-5."
"No!" both mech shouted in unison. Mirage gestured frantically from the Seeker to the panel. Starscream shrugged, shaking his head. The Autobot whispered, "Say something!"
"Incorrect password. State the corr "
"No! That wasn't even me, idiot computer!" Starscream shrieked at it.
"Incorrect password. Initiating security protocol A-5. Error. Malfunction detected."
"Just open this door!"
"Incorrect password. State the correct password."
"Shockwave, I swear I will rip off all your limbs, dismantle your innards piece by piece, and wear your one optic as a necklace!" the Seeker yelled in frustration.
"Incorrect password."
The words 'REMOTE ACCESS' flashed across the terminal. On it's own, it cycled through more security screens. With the hiss of pressurized air, the door opened.
The two mechs looked at each other. Mirage stated, "That was not the password."
"Move!" Starscream shoved the other Cybertronian toward the door.
They rushed out. Turning back, they watched the door snap shut behind them. Gears turned, locking the entrance again. They shared a look. Mirage shrugged. "So, do we fight now?"
Starscream considered the Autobot. The interference hampered the spy's weapons, but his own were almost non-functioning. Megatron would be furious with the loss of whatever Mirage had stolen, but he was hardly in any condition to try to take it back. The Seeker glanced back at the Science & Reseach facility. He could always claim it was destroyed in there.
"No, I'm done," Starscream muttered. "You should go. Someone accessed that station remotely. They monitored my access and opened the doors. They may send someone. You don't want to be here when they arrive."
Mirage nodded. He turned to go, then paused. "Next time we go sight-seeing, I choose the destination."
Starscream smirked. "Technically, you choose this time."
"True. Then may I suggest next time we visit an Autobot tourist trap?"
"Strangely enough, I try to avoid places with the words 'Autobot' and 'trap' in their descriptions."
"They can't be worse than this place," Mirage pointed out.
Starscream glanced back at the sealed door, grimacing. "Agreed."

i don't know the city well but i have been going to a doctor in bridgeport once a month. generally i don't usually linger or wander far from the train station and the university and what i have seen is devoid of good food. is there anything/anyplace to try? pizza, perhaps? recent immigrant food would be great too.
thanks in advance.
EU, Lots of great ethnic eats in Bridgeport. Ralph & Rich's is good solid Italian-American or Roberto's which is also downtown. Up Main Street a little bit is Omanel..great Portugese food. Try the Baccalau a la Braz...tender salt cod with eggs olives and fried potatos...have a nice bottle of Vino Verde...sorry about the spelling. Or you can go to the Kossuth Club serving Hungarian/polish grub...great stuffed cabbage.
Or if you would like to go to a nice Irish pub try The Black Rock Castle on Fairfield Ave...0

General News | 4th June 2007
Looking back on Glamorgan v Notts
Peter Wynne-Thomas looks back on past meetings between Glamorgan and Nottinghamshire at Swansea.
There�s no escaping Sobers� six sixes as soon as the cricket ground at Swansea is mentioned. A world-first. Not too many of them in Notts� post-war history. Of course the pub quiz has been provided with two great questions. Who was the bowler? Who was the batsman at the other end? Odd really. I don�t recall anyone asking who was the batsman at the other end when Brian Lara reached the world�s first Championship 500, or even who was the bowler to suffer the 500th run. Sobers� six sixes has somehow lodged itself in the public mind - it wasn�t as if his feat had much, if anything to do with the match result - who did win? Malcolm Nash and John Parkin - the answers to the two questions - must be thoroughly fed up with the topic. Do either of them still dare to attend a public gathering?
The real heroes of that game in 1968 were Mike Taylor and Bob White, but they don�t feature in the legend. At the start of the final day, Notts were 50-4 in their second innings. Sobers decided to bat on till lunch. He then declared at 139-6, setting Glamorgan 248 minutes to score 280. Pitches weren�t quite as plumb as they are today, but it was a fair target. Mike Taylor took 5-47 in 16 overs; Bob White 4-9 off eight overs. Glamorgan crashed, all out for 113, with their sole success being captain Tony Lewis, who batted two hours for 52.
Garry Sobers� incredible feat had occurred on the first day. Notts cruised to 308-5 when Sobers came in just before tea. After the break Sobers decided to hit out, in order to declare and give the Welsh side some difficult batting in the evening. The result: the six sixes.
At least that astounding game wiped out the bitter memory of 1927 � still lodged in the consciences of the old Notts codgers of the day 41 years later. It was described at the time as �the most sensational feature of the season.� The dreadful disaster of 1927 was played out on the same three days � August 31, September 1 & 2 � as the 1968 Sobers� match. Uncanny!
On August 30, 1927, Notts were topping the Championship table. The County had won 12 matches, with one match remained to be played. It was against Glamorgan at Swansea, Notts had beaten Glamorgan the week before at Trent Bridge. Glamorgan had failed to claim a single victory all summer.
Notts travelled down to Swansea without their inspirational captain, Arthur Carr, who was recovering from illness in a Malvern Hotel. Glamorgan were also lacking their captain, John Clay, who was also one of their principal bowlers. Lionel Kirk was drafted in to lead Notts. Preserved in the Trent Bridge library are 11 telegrams he received on the ground at Swansea. One that arrived on the morning of the last day remains a bit of a riddle. It reads - in capitals of course:
Does anyone know who Allen Limb was? What was he doing in Leeds? Anyway, Bates had scored 163 on the first day and enabled Glamorgan to gain a first innings lead of 142. Notts were two wickets down at the start of the final morning�s play, but they possessed a strong batting line-up. Before lunch, however, they were all out for just 61 � Notts had needed only a draw to become Champions.
The Nottingham Journal takes up the story:
�The first news of the collapse was received with some scepticism in Nottingham. Not until it had actually appeared in print did the truth really sink in - and then incredibility gave place to bewilderment. On the tramcars, in the clubs, the restaurants and cafes, the one topic of conversation was the downfall of Notts - and of course, there was quite a good sprinkling of the I-told-you-so enthusiasts, who invariably intensify the agony rather than console one�s disappointed feelings.�
So confident had the people of Nottingham been of success that the City Hall had arranged a civic reception for the team on its return.
Enough of woe. Now the good news. Nottinghamshire have not lost at Swansea since 1948. 13 matches have been played there since. Notts have won six, with the other seven drawn. The last visit is still bright in the memory of both Tim Robinson and Paul Johnson. Notts captain Robinson hit a hundred in each innings. Glamorgan set Notts, at noon on the last day, 336 off 85 overs. Paul Pollard and Mark Saxelby opened. The latter was soon out, but Robinson joined Pollard in a century stand. Pollard was bowled by Croft with the total 140. Paul Johnson arrived and took the bowling apart. His fifty came in 43 balls, his hundred, the fastest of the summer to date, in 73. Notts won with 2.4 overs left by nine wickets.
There was a reversed situation in the 1976 Swansea encounter. Glamorgan were set 356 in 375 minutes. Bob White, whose off-spin had won the 1968 game, again played a vital role. He took eight wickets in the match, four in each innings. Notts won by 134 runs with time to spare. Basher Hassan was that game�s only centurion, with a very brisk 113 including a six and 14 fours.
The 1962 match saw Glamorgan again set a target, which seemed reasonable, 238 off 255 minutes. The weather was poor, with clouds building. Rain cut 10 minutes off their time. By lunch Glamorgan were 63-3. After the break, Ian Davison came on to bowl and his spell was described as �a revelation.� In 13.4 overs he took 5-21 and Notts secured victory by 111 runs.
The match was also a career highlight for that cheerful cricketer, Mervyn Winfield. Harry Richards� report notes: �Winfield placing his strokes well and getting right behind the ball, was the rock on which the Glamorgan attack broke. Throughout his long stay he never gave a semblance of a chance.� Winfield had come in with the score 8-2. His 134 proved his highest in first-class cricket.
We began with a six, we�ll end with a six. After Winfield�s great innings, Bomber Wells came to the crease and hit a violent 55, which included one of his towering straight sixes � what happened to that ball!�
