That loading Scarab got me mesmerized for a while until I felt like that it's basically loading the very literal sense of time itself so unless the forum crashes and/or servers shutdown or something along those lines that inevitably disrupt it. This has the potential of loading well past the estimated "death of the universe". Just goes to show how little time cares about its own length.
The more I look at it the more I feel like it's trying to tell me something.. I wonder if the Scarab or just its shield generator is upside down and thus the clockwise movement of the 180 degree omni-shield is moving counter-clockwise which would kinda explain/half-explain why the high-tech shield's color is in the spectrum of blueshift instead of in the spectrum of redshift the low-tech shields are. Both high-tech and low-tech vessels and their shields might be onto something here.
Huh.. wait a moment. Who's idea was it to stick a Space Shuttle's front from ancient 20th century of humanity as a bridge for the latest high-tech Tri-Tachyon ship!?? I-I-I-Is there an actual Space Shuttle from that ancient era in that ship as an escape shuttle, what were they thinking???!! O_O
*cue the haunting Requiem music from 2001: A Space Odyssey*Time for me to go existential again as usual, heh.. time...
