*alex throws his right arm out and fires off another burst of flame without even turning, the aggressor that attempted to attack him burning to ash before it even realized it was dead*
no, fixing genetic defects IS legal in federation space...if they're defects capable of causing crippling or life-threatening issues down the line - not only did bashir's specific issue NOT fall within those parameters, his father didn't stop there once it was fixed; he went full augment, and that's why he got incarcerated…
*alex raises his guantlet and sprays a burst of sticky flaming gel at an oncoming hur'q, the color of the flame not red, not yellow or even orange like standard flame, but pure white, indicating a temperature nearly 3,000° fahrenheit - a temperature which ensures the hur'q the gel impacts is burned to ash in a matter of…
alex: i really hope that wasn't quark or any karemmans you just sent that door flying into! *he yells, a little louder than normal since even with the precaution of covering his ears, the explosion still managed to partially deafen him*
alex: right...*he says distractedly as he continues examining the door* so a few explosive charges shouldn't cause the roof of the cave to come crashing down on our heads, yes?
(yes; presumably the reason the zerg are so similar to tyranids is that blizzard originally wanted to make a game set in the W40K universe, but at the time they were unable to acquire the necessary license...so they made their own universe, along with hundreds of millions of dollars - definitely a big win for them, and a…
alex: and the zerg are a terrifying and ruthless amalgamation of biologically advanced, arthropodal aliens; dedicated to the pursuit of genetic perfection, the zerg relentlessly hunt down and assimilate advanced species across their native galaxy, incorporating useful genetic code into their own; they are named "the Swarm"…
alex: that's not exactly a sign of intelligence - the kazon can use ships and technology too, yet the species as a whole is too stupid to realize water is the most abundant resource in the universe next to carbon and can be easily extracted from any number of comets *he retorts as he follows garak down the grassy path*
alex: we still don't even know that the hur'q ARE sapient...certainly the behavior they've displayed so far seems to suggest sapience is not to be found
alex: and the nozzles on this are specifically designed so the mixture can only be ejected in short bursts...mainly to encourage fuel economy with the less experienced wildfires instead of the 'spray 'n pray' mentality one often finds themselves with when you can spray a constant stream of fire
alex: shotguns have very limited range - you need to be almost in melee range for the shells to not spread pellets over too wide an arc from them to actually do anything (like, seriously...that little annoyance is why i never use shotties in fallout games - they do almost no damage if you don't get every pellet into a…
*he holds up right fist upon which a silver gauntlet with twin flamethrower nozzles attached can be seen, fuel tubes connecting the nozzle to a small tank slung around his back wrapped around his arm* i'm more than good
*alex beams down in a small canyon as close to the spot where quark's lifesigns were picked up as the transporter can get him, still wearing the silver trenchcoat from the holodeck adventure*
phoenix would not only make doing romulan a bit more rewarding...it would also fit the whole bird theme they have, since phoenixes are immortal firebirds
alex: i'll handle that - my ship has the highest resolution sensors of any ship here *a few moments pass* got him - he seems to be underground...and there are hur'q biosigns all around him
*a spread of gravimetric torpedoes into whatever surviving ships being pulled into the mini black hole that is alex's supercharged gravity well quickly break apart into their constituent atoms as multiple gravimetric rifts form in close proximity to each other*
and since when does the energy dissipator not work on ships equipped with singularity cores? i don't remember anything in DS9 saying it can't dampen the energy generated by one
