So here it is, Part 2. Hope it's to your liking!
Disclaimer: If only...
"Hey Raven?" Beast Boy asked.
"Yeah?" she replied turning to face him.
"Do you think maybe you might like to go and get some pie or something?" He said rambling.
"Are you asking me out?"
"Sure. That would be, nice..."
Raven had been looking at Beast Boy all day and she knew he knew it. He knew because he had been staring at her as well. Both would steal glances at the other, but quickly turn back when they saw the other's head turn. Sometimes, they would simultaneously turn their heads at the same moment, and when they caught the other's eye would look the other way blood rushing to their faces.
Everyone else could not stand to watch the tension any longer. Ever since breakfast they had been staring. The girls thought it was cute at first. The guys, well they got bored because nothing more was happening.
"Jeez, this is worse than you and Starfire are!" Kid Flash groaned to Robin.
"Exactly... Hey!" Robin started to deny what Kid Flash was saying.
"Friend Raven?" Starfire walked up to the empath, her hands clasped together. The other girls standing behind her like she was a human, well, alien shield. Raven looked at her questioningly.
"Would you like to do the participation in the getting ready for the date?" she asked her eyes expectant.
"Do I actually get a choice?" Raven asked confused, and the girls nodded. "Well then, no." she replied turning back to the novel she was holding in her hand.
"Oh forget this," Bee said, "Star, Jinx, grab her. Now." she commanded.
The girls grabbed Raven as she started to phase through the ground, pulling her back up kicking and getting ready to shout. Bee put her hand over her mouth.
"No way. You are not getting out of this one." Bee responded as Raven glared at her.
They dragged her out, giggling. The guys didn't even flinch at what had transpired.
"Uh, guys?" the changeling looked at the others and scratched his head sheepishly.
"What's wrong, Beast Boy?" Robin asked him.
"Well, uh, I'm not really good at the whole impressing girls thing, and Raven doesn't like my jokes, and I'm not going to make it through without getting sent to another dimension!" he grabbed his head, worried about all that could go wrong.
"Hey don't worry, man. If you just be yourself, well minus all the bad jokes, then you two will definitely have a good time."
"Um, no offence, Rob, but you haven't exactly been in a relationship." Cyborg said.
"Sure I have," Robin defended himself; I've dated lots of girls!"
"And who exactly were they" the metal man grinned.
"Well, Batgirl, and um... Barbara..."
"Rob, they're the same person!" Kid Flash said seeing through his lies.
"Hey, dudes! I need a little help here! Having a serious crisis!" Beast Boy exclaimed standing up and waving his arms.
"Well this is what you do..." Cy began to explain the "Cy Dating Method: How to Get the Girl of Your Dreams by the First Date" patent pending.
Raven had been poked, prodded, burned, pushed, pulled and squealed at as she was being prepared for her date. Somehow the girls had found a dress in her size; most likely one Star had made her purchase. It had taken forever to do because she had rejected almost every single thing they showed her. It was a strapless satin dress with a glitter accented flocked hemline. The body was ruched, and there was an empire waistline that accentuated her curves. She loved it, although she wouldn't tell the others. Her hair was curled into small ringlets and her makeup was light, but it still looked amazing. She had placed one of Cyborg's holo-rings on her finger so she could look normal that night. She knew the girls were proud of their work. She just hoped that everything would go well now.
Gar had showered and put on a nice white striped button up shirt and dark blue jeans. He had gone through various hairstyles, combing it down, mussing it up, using Robin's hair gel to spike it, but ultimately going back to his normal look. He brushed his teeth, made sure the reservations were made, put on his holo-ring, and went down to hang with the guys until Raven was ready. They had planned to leave at seven and it was six thirty, he had time to play a few rounds of Mega Monkeys.
Time had passed pretty quickly and soon it was time to go. He grabbed the keys to the T-Car, which Cyborg had finally let him start to drive and fixed his clothes standing in front of the common room doors with the other Titan males. The doors opened and out stepped Starfire and Bumblebee.
"Friends! May we present to you," Starfire started.
"Raven!" Bee finished as the guys began to clap.
"Uh, Raven, you gotta come out..." Bee said sticking her head back into the doorway.
On the other side of the common room doors, Raven was resisting.
"I'm not ready!" she claimed.
"Yes you are!" Argent reassured her.
"Now go!" Jinx said pushing her out.
She stumbled into complete silence.
"Raven," Cyborg began.
"You look," Robin stated.
"Amazing." Beast Boy finished.
"Amazing doesn't cut it," Speedy said looking at her, "Raven looks hot." He stated bluntly.
Raven's face was red as were all the other guys, with the exception of Speedy; because they were thinking the exact same thing.
"Are you ready to go?" Beast Boy finally asked reaching for her hand.
Grabbing it she nodded her head, still too embarrassed to speak. He led her towards the car; the other hero's yelling various things behind them.
"Have fun!" Speedy, Star, and Kole replied, Speedy making kissy noises.
"Good luck!" The others said.
"Don't y'all be doing anything in my backseat!" Cyborg warned causing their faces to become even redder.
"So, Cy actually is letting you drive the T-Car?" Raven asked.
"Yep! Since I can actually drive and it's a special occasion I can! He even said something about maybe making that B-Ped!" he chirped opening her door for her.
She climbed in and he closed the door before hopping into the front seat. He turned on the car and loud rap music started playing. Both winced and he turned the music down.
"Sorry about that," he looked at her apologetically.
She smiled a small smile at him, "Don't worry about it," she replied softly.
They drove in silence, but it wasn't an awkward one, it was a comfortable type of silence, where neither felt the need to fill it with useless chatter. The drive wasn't too long, but the roads were unfamiliar to Raven. She wondered where he was planning on taking her, but didn't want to ask. Finally he turned into a plaza and parked.
"We're here." He said taking her out of her thoughts. She got out and looked around. There seemed to be a few people there, just not so many that it was overwhelming. They walked towards a place that she'd never heard of called Ron's Diner.
As he lead her in he said, "I know it's not super fancy, but they have really good stuff."
"Welcome!" the hostessgreeted them.
"Um. Two for Logan." Beast Boy said.
The girl eyed him appreciatively, "Well hello Mr. Logan," she said seductively.
Raven stared daggers at the woman who noticed her and frowned.
"Right this way," she led them to their table and after they sat she gave Gar a smile and glared at Raven.
Raven instinctively moved closer to her date.
"Scott is going to be your server today, please enjoy." She said smiling at Gar before leaving.
Gar didn't even notice the little challenge the girls had over him. A few minutes later a guy with brown hair and a giant smile came to their table. "Hi! My name is Scotty! Can I get you two lovely people something to drink?"
Both of the heroes were surprised by his enthusiasm. Raven snapped out of her stupor first.
"Herbal tea please?" she said watching him excitedly write down her order.
Beast Boy coughed, "Um, I'll have the root beer."
Scotty finished scribbling it down and chirped, "I'll go get your drinks and some hot bread!"
As he left, Raven and Garfield looked at each other. Both stared at the other until Raven started to giggle. Beast Boy looked at her shocked before he began to laugh as well. When Scotty finally came back with their drinks, they were both still chuckling. He passed out the drinks and set down the steaming bread.
"Are you ready to order?" he asked them smiling as they tried to calm down. Beast Boy had ordered a veggie burger and Raven ordered potato soup and a Caesar salad. The waiter took his leave.
Beast Boy pushed the basket of bread towards Raven. "Here, you have to have a piece. It's amazing, I swear."
Raven looked at him before slowly taking a piece and buttering it. As she bit in, she moaned. The bread was so good. Gar chuckled before grabbing a piece as well, skipping the butter.
"Gar, how can this be so good?" she asked holding up the bread.
"I have no idea, it just is." He replied smiling at her joy.
Just then Scotty and another man came to their table carrying their food. Scotty replaced the finished bread basket smiling while the other man refilled Garfield's soda before he left.
"Garfield how are you?" the man spoke.
"What's up, Ron! Rae, this is Ron, the owner of this place and a really awesome dude!" he introduced Raven.
"Ah, are you the famous girl we hear so much about?" Ron asked her.
Raven gave both men strange looks, "Gar, what does he mean?"
"He talks fondly of you every time he comes in, say's you're a pretty special girl." Ron continued, seeming to not notice the red appearing on both teenagers' cheeks. "How'd he finally get the guts to ask you out? Or, did you have to do it for him?" he smiled.
"He asked me, but I didn't know he had been planning to." Raven responded, trying to rid the blush on her face.
"Oh! I didn't know it was a secret! I'm so sorry." Ron apologized.
"Don't worry, Ron, it's okay." Gar assured him with a smile.
Ron gave both of them knowing smile's before leaving to talk to the other tables.
Right after he left, Beast Boy put his head in his hands.
"What's wrong?" Raven asked.
"That… was embarrassing." He said still not looking at her.
"Don't worry," she tried to make him feel better, "It was… sweet." She gave him a small smile placing her hand on his shoulder.
He instantly perked up, "Really?"
She nodded, and for the rest of the dinner, the grin didn't go away.
They had finished their entrees and Scotty returned with a dessert menu. The two began to look at it.
"Hey, Gar?" Raven looked over to her teammate.
"Yeah?" he responded looking back at her. He noticed her apprehensive look as she looked at the various desserts. "Do you like chocolate?"
"How about we get the chocolate mousse. Everyone says it's amazing, but I've not tried it yet."
She nodded and placed the menu down, while he motioned over Scotty to order the desert.
Seven minutes later, Scotty came back with the mousse and two spoons. The dessert was so beautiful, neither of them wanted to eat it. Raven finally grabbed her spoon and took a bit from the top. The spoon went in her mouth and her eyes fluttered closed. Slowly, she brought the spoon back out again and her eyes opened wide.
"Gar! You have to try this!" she grabbed another spoonful and put it into his mouth, a similar reaction followed.
"Oh my gosh! This is the best thing I've ever tasted!" he replied.
It took a moment, before both realized what they had just done. Both blushed again, Raven most of all because she was the one who had fed him.
"Never happened?" Beast Boy asked her. She nodded in agreement, before they turned back to the desert of chocolaty bliss.
Once they finished, Ron came to their table. "Is there anything else you two would like?"
"Nah, dude. Just the check, please." Beast Boy responded.
"Don't worry about that," Ron told him, "on the house."
"Seriously, dude, that's-"
"I am serious." Ron looked at him his smile gone, before it quickly returned, "You two have a good night! Keep it PG rated!"
As they left, red coated their faces from embarassment.
"Let's never talk about that again." Raven said.
"Um, Beast Boy?" Raven asked.
"Where are we going?"
Raven groaned, "Can I have a hint?"
"It's in Jump City."
"Sometimes, I really hate you."
They had been driving for half an hour. She had no idea where they were or where they were going.
"Just... Trust me, okay?" he said interrupting her thoughts after another four minutes.
She nodded, and turned to look out the window. A few minutes later, they had stopped. He got out and helped her out as well. They began walking into what looked like a forest. She contemplating asking if it was safe, but decided to just trust him. It was a short walk before they stopped.
"Close your eyes." he told her and when she gave him a questioning look he outstreched his arm, "Trust me?"
She grabbed onto his hand and closed her eyes. They walked for another minute before he stopped again.
"You can open your eyes now."
She opened them and gasped. It was a clearing surrounded by trees on all sides. It was pretty large and since the night had fallen, she noticed fireflies coming out. Small flowers littered the ground in various colors.
"How'd you find this place?"
"One time when I needed to get away I somehow found this place. I thought you might like it."
"Now I have a question to ask."
He then began to fumble in his pocket for something. Raven looked at him, startled. He gave off a triumphant cry after a few more seconds holding his Iphone in his hand. Raven let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. A song began to play as he walked back over to her.
"May I have this dance?" he asked holding out his hand.
She hesitated a moment before placing her hand in his, "Yes, you may."
No warning sign, no alibi
We faded faster than the speed of light
Took our chance, crashed and burned
No, we'll never ever learn
I fell apart, but I got back up again
And then I fell apart, but got back up again
They began to dance around the circle, it was formal, like they were taught for all the balls the mayor liked to put on.
We both could see crystal clear
That the inevitable end was near
Made our choice, a trial by fire
To battle is the only way we feel alive
I fell apart, but got back up again
And then I fell apart, but got back up again
And then I fell apart, but got back up again
He grabbed her hands and pulled her close, than pushed her back again, over and over like the waves that crashed onto the island their beach was on.
He brought her close once again arms around her waist, as she placed hers around his neck as they spun around.
So here we are, the witching hour
The quickest tongue to divide and devour
Divide and devour
If I could end the quest for fire
For truth, for love, and my desire
They let go for a second before he began to spin her around a few times.
And I fell apart, but got back up again
They closed the distance again and swayed together as the music played, the flowers floated in the breeze, and the fireflies danced around them, while the stars in the sky began to come out.
I fell apart
I fell apart
I fell apart
I fell apart, but got back up again
She placed her head on his shoulder as the music began to fade and he put his head on top of hers. They stayed like that for the next few minutes.
"Thank you." she mumbled into his chest.
"Anytime." he whispered into her hair.
They pulled apart and walked back to the car holding hands. They got in the car and kept their hands entertwined as they drove home.
"Hey, Raven, I have a question. Why'd you agree to go out with me? I know it wasn't only because of my amazingly good looks." Beast Boy asked when they were about 10 minutes from the Tower.
"You're right. If I wanted looks, I'd have gone with Cyborg." she replied.
"I'm kidding, Gar," she took a deep breath, "I had a dream."
"Us. We were, um, *cough*married*cough*" she blushed.
Beast Boy had heard what she said, but decided to play around a bit first.
"What did you just say?"
"I know you heard me, Beast Boy. Do you want me to finish or not?"
He motioned for her to go on.
"Yesterday, we were playing- nevermind, that part doesn't matter. I had a dream and when I woke up we were older. We didn't live in the tower anymore and we were in Virginia. Robin still hadn't proposed to star and, um, wewerehavingtriplets."
"Figures, even in the future he takes forever. Wait, did you just say we were having triplets?"
"Shh!" she said motioning to the other titans that were waiting for them, as they had arrived at the tower.
"Hey, Y'all! How'd it go?" Cyborg asked before looking at Beast Boy, "Hey, BB, what happened?"
"Triplets! We're-" Raven quickly slapped her hands over his mouth.
"Hey, Raven, is he okay?"
"Yeah, probably just a bit too much sugar or something." she said pulling him out of the room.
"I really don't want to know,"Cyborg said to himself as he walked to the garage to check on his baby.
Raven did not want to run into anyone else while Beast Boy was in his current state. She decided to just phase him into his bedroom where they could talk without interruption. She took on her soul self carrying the changling in it and dropped both of them into the room. She took her hand off of his mouth.
"Now listen," she began before he started again," It was a dream. Dreams do not always come true, so don't think that this is set in stone."
"Yeah I know that," he responded shaking out of his stupor, "It's just, I had a similar dream last night. That's kind of why I finally got the courage to ask you out."
She looked at him curiously
"Well while we were having the stankball tournament last night, we well, that doesn't matter. Anyways, when I went to sleep and I woke up I saw you and I was all 'dude!' and you were all shocked and wondering why I was there and so I was all 'I have no idea!' and you started laughing cause I was waving my hands in the air like this." he proceeded to frantically wave his hands in the air. "Then I was freaking out because you were laughing and nothing was blowing up!" he stopped after seeing a glare come from Raven. "Oh yeah, the point. Well she told me most of the same stuff she told you, but I had no idea about... you know... that."
Raven sat there quietly pondering why they had the same dream. Coincidence maybe? Although that was highly unlikely it was better than the alternative; maybe that dream was their future.
The empath looked over to the changeling.
"When I had the dream, I didn't think it was possible, but after tonight, do you think maybe?"
"It's possible." she answered in a whisper.
"Do you wanna-"
BANG! BANG! BANG! "I know y'all are in there! Come on, the other's want to see ya!" Cyborg yelled, ruining whatever moment they had.
Beast Boy got up and held a hand out for the girl on his bed. She grabbed it and he lifted her up. The door opened to show a cybernetic man.
"I didn't interrupt anything did I?" he asked smiling since he had a feeling he did.
"No." Raven replied, her stone faced façade back, as she reached to pull her hood over her head forgetting she was still wearing a dress. When she grabbed empty air she finally realized what she was wearing, but decided not to worry about it.
They arrived at the common room and were greeted by the others. Starfire pulled Raven over to the other girls, so they could talk, although Raven did not give them much. Beast Boy walked over to the guys with Cyborg behind him.
"So Cyborg told us something very interesting," Speedy said looking at the changeling with mischief filled eyes. "What's this we heard about triplets?"
Beast Boy's face colored. "Triplets? No! I said I tripped less! While we were out!"
The boys stared at him in disbelief.
"Fine, if you don't want to tell us, we'll figure out in a few months, right?" Robin grinned.
"Shut up. You still haven't asked Star out." he countered and the boy wonder instantly quieted, a blush over his face as well.
"I'm waiting for the right moment." he growled.
The other's looked at him as if saying, 'mmm hmm, sure you are'.
"Anyways, I'm really tired, so I'm going to bed." Beast Boy said looking at the clock which read 10:30.
The other guys, believing sleep to be a good idea, got up as well and after saying goodnight to the girls, went to their respective rooms. The girls followed suit soon after.
10 Years Later
"I'm still amazed that game actually spoke the truth. That had to be a freak coincidence, right?" the man asked, fixing his pregnant wife breakfast.
The radio was playing in the background as he cooked some waffles, something she constantly craved since she learned she was with child, or more specifically, with triplets.
"Who knows. You're green, I'm half-demon, but somehow we're living normally. Anything's possible."
He chuckled at her response. Then the room got quiet again save the radio and the waffles cooking. It wasn't the type of quiet that needed to be filled, but more of a comfortable silence. Suddenly, the two heard a familiar song play on the speakers. The man hurriedly finished the food before rushing to his love.
"May I have this dance?" He asked her.
"Yes, you may." she replied smiling as she took his hand.
They danced to their song; the same one that had played years ago in that sacred spot.
"I love you, Rae." he murmured in her ear.
"I love you too, Gar." she said, giving him a peck on the lips, "I just love the waffles more."
"What did waffles ever do for you?" he asked her feigning a hurt look.
"They make me happy." she stated simply.
"What about me? I make the waffles!"
She walked over to the table after grabbing her food and began eating, completely ignoring her whining husband while smiling inwardly.
'Although it is a freaky coincidence, I wouldn't have it any other way.' she thought as he finally sat down and grabbed a waffle for himself. They looked at each other lovingly before digging in again.
A/N: Yes, I know, I am so horrible for not updating anything. It's hard figuring out how to get to where I want to go and life has been beating me with an aluminum baseball bat. Thankfully I found inspiration in my Grandmother's house!
The song is Alibi by 30 Seconds To Mars, which also seriously helped me finish this! I still don't own it...
I want to thank all of you people who reviewed telling me to continue with this. I hope this meets your expectations!
Special thanks to Evil. VS .Waffles. Hope I did that scene well enough! Now I'm going to ponder about daylight savings...
Till next time!

Airbnb is moving to a value-based strategy for a new campaign that looks at human kindness, according to an article on Campaign US.
The new campaign challenges the seeming unkindness of mankind by encouraging the public to see others’ points of views, tastes and dreams and asks “Is Mankind?”
The first ad will debut during an ESPN sports award show this week, when former Olympian Caitlyn Jenner will receive an ESPY bravery award. A special ad creative will be used, which ends by asking viewers to “find out how kind the women, men and trans of our mankind can be.”
Airbnb CMO Jonathan Mildenhall said the change in strategy was important for the brand, which wants to stand for more than purely being a travel brand.
“It is a campaign that doesn’t get into product or experience. It’s about values that we believe in. We believe people will want to travel and open up their home as it will draw people into the community, it is a set of values no travel or tech brand has,” he said.

DJ Shadow puts a lot of thought into his albums, and the process was no different for the Bay Area beatmaker's 2011 release The Less You Know, The Better. The track "I'm Excited," which features U.K. rapper Afrikan Boy as a guest vocalist, was one of the last Shadow wrote, and he considers it to be a "middle finger" to the rest of the album. "At that point, I'm tired of working my ass off and sweating every little split second," he said. "So I make something in a day-and-a-half that totally gets all my emotions out, something cathartic that I can have fun with. That’s what 'I'm Excited' is."
Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.

In keeping with our TSRC policy of at least mentioning all storms that are named by the National Hurricane Center, check this Named Storm Oscar formed in the central Atlantic from a low pressure area. This storm may make hurricane status but will be moving generally north and northeast away from US Coastal areas and will not be a threat to the US east coast. This will be our only mention of Named Storm Oscar.
For official information on all named storms, please visit the National Hurricane Center site located here:
“These are not official advisories. These updates and advisories are based upon information from our own computer models, NOAA, Local Weather Data Centers, deep water Buoy Data, and other publicly available sources. FOR THE SAFETY OF YOUR PROPERTY AND PERSON, please refer to your Local, State, and Federal Authority updates for Official Advisories and Orders. For up to the minute advisories and official updates, it is essential that you monitor your local Emergency Government, NOAA and Local Media Broadcasts. Please do not make personal safety decisions based upon information presented here.”
Tropical Storm Research Center, Gulf Shores, Alabama
Hurricane Michael will go into down in weather history as one of the most powerful and devastating Hurricanes on record for a United States Landfall.
The lowest barometric pressure was recorded at 919 mb (27.14 in) just before landfall near Panama City Beach and Mexico Beach, Florida, on Wednesday, October 10, mid day… the third lowest pressure on record for an Atlantic basin Hurricane. Winds were measured at 155+ MPH with gusting to 176 MPH before the measuring equipment was destroyed. The storm surge in many locations to the east of the eye was between 10 and 14 feet with 25 to 35 foot waves on top of that.
First responders have been making progress in their search and rescue efforts but we fear that the death toll will increase as inaccessible areas are finally reached.
Our volunteer staff at TSRC is keeping all victims of this catastrophic hurricane in our thoughts and prayers.
Hurricane Michael has become a major hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 120mph. At the time of this writing, we are an hour away from the next official NHC advisory, however, there are many indications from the current hurricane hunter mission to suggest that Michael could be a Catagory Four hurricane now, or overnight.
In Gulf Shores and nearby areas, the surf is up and the winds are gradually increasing. Michael is expected to move to the northeast of its current location, however, a more westward landfall from the current track is not out of the question. Having said that, at this time our staff does not anticipate hurricane conditions in the Gulf Shores/Orange Beach area, but full anticipate sustained tropical storm conditions. (Winds 35-50mph).
This photo depicts the surf on west beach in Gulf Shores on October 9th, in Gulf Shores.


Did you know the Region’s Innovation in Workforce is Being Noticed?
Dr. Kevin Fleming, keynote speaker at the RAEDC’s Annual Meeting on November 15th, commended the region’s customized education to workforce pipeline strategies. During his address, Dr. Fleming reminds our community that what we are doing is a global differentiator and not many communities are committed to this type of work. As a community, we need to continue to support workforce efforts and promote them inside as well as outside our region.
The collaborative spirit we have established to create customized talent supply chains is a differentiator for the Rockford Region, they provide an advantage over other regions when cultivating opportunities for primary job growth that increase the economic well-being of our region.
Nathan Bryant, president and CEO of the RAEDC stated “The region has the opportunity to attract and retain sticky jobs that are good today, tomorrow, and in the future for the region through the development of customized education to workforce solutions. The community that successfully collaborates and demonstrates the ability to support business workforce requirements will control its own destiny. There is no bigger opportunity for our community.”

One of the lenders to Larry A. Silverstein, who holds the lease on the World Trade Center site, has filed a lawsuit accusing Mr. Silverstein's companies of misallocating insurance money paid out after the Sept. 11 attack.
In a complaint filed on Monday in State Supreme Court in Manhattan, the lender, GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation, asserts that Mr. Silverstein has used some insurance money to pay lobbyists in Albany and in Washington to try to limit his liability to the victims of the attack.
GMAC also asserts that Mr. Silverstein has used that money, paid to make up for lost rental income, to pay his companies for management of the World Trade Center. GMAC claims that Mr. Silverstein has said that the amount his companies should be paid should be increased to reflect how much tenants' rents would have increased if the complex had not been destroyed.
A spokesman for Silverstein Properties said the company was seeking to resolve the dispute with GMAC promptly. The spokesman added that GMAC had disbursed money to pay rent to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and to make principal and interest payments on the mortgage, and that the leaseholders were current on their obligations. ''The balance is supposed to be available to Silverstein for his expenses in connection with rebuilding,'' the spokesman said. ''GMAC disagrees.''
So far, according to Swiss Re, one of the World Trade Center's largest insurers, about $150 million in insurance has been paid since Sept. 11. The expenses on the complex total about $160 million a year: $120 million in rent to the Port Authority, which owns the land, and $30 million to $40 million in interest on the bonds.
''This vindicates our position all along, that we need to know whom we should be paying,'' said Jacques E. DuBois, the chairman of the Swiss Re America Holding Corporation. The company filed a lawsuit in the fall asking a federal district court judge in New York to clarify how the insurance money should be divided up. ''These two parties are telling us that they have a disagreement already over who gets what,'' Mr. DuBois said.Continue reading the main story

Collecting ancient jewellery
Ancient jewellery styles are in vogue, and original pieces that can be thousands of years old are surprisingly affordable. Here, our specialists offer advice for anyone starting a collection of what are perhaps the most personal objects from antiquity
Consider how often you want to wear it
A Roman gold and garnet intaglio ring, circa 1st century A.D. Intaglio: ⅝ in (1.6 cm) wide; ring size H. Estimate: £7,000-9,000. Offered in Antiquities on 5 July 2023 at Christie’s in London
When it comes to purchasing jewellery — and particularly ancient jewellery — collectors need to consider exactly what they want from it. ‘You might be looking for an amazing piece to wear at a cocktail party once a year, or something that you could wear every day,’ says Hannah Fox Solomon, head of the Ancient Art and Antiquities department at Christie’s in New York. ‘If you want to wear it all the time, I would recommend buying an ancient engraved stone or cameo set in a modern gold ring. That way the gem won’t get damaged.’
Don’t fear being priced out
An east Greek electrum and garnet necklace, circa 500 B.C. 14½ in (37 cm) long. Sold for £6,300 on 7 December 2022 at Christie’s in London
It is understandable that, for many, the term ‘ancient jewellery’ suggests very high prices. But the majority of pieces sold across Christie’s antiquities auctions, held both online and in New York and London, are surprisingly affordable.
‘Bead necklaces can be acquired for less than $10,000,’ says Solomon. ‘They’re ancient and yet can look very modern, and they’re a really interesting alternative to a strand of contemporary beads from a mainstream commercial jeweller. This is a unique statement piece. Bead necklaces can be a fun and accessible way to start your collection, if they suit your taste.’
Ancient can feel very contemporary
A Roman gold snake ring, circa 1st century B.C.-1st century A.D. Snake: 13/16 in (2 cm) long; ring size L½. Estimate: £1,500-2,500. Offered in Antiquities on 5 July 2023 at Christie’s in London
In ancient Greece and Rome, snakes were regarded as symbols of regeneration and rebirth because of their skin-shedding abilities. The ring shown above, depicting a coiled serpent, might be 2,000 years old, but it appeals to modern tastes.
In the 20th century, jewellers such as Bulgari and Cartier were influenced by ancient Egyptian, Etruscan, Greek and Roman designs; and that influence continues today. In the short film above, Marisa Hordern, founder of the contemporary jeweller Missoma, discusses the inspiration she finds in Roman and Byzantine pieces.
In ancient Mediterranean, Near Eastern and Egyptian cultures, gold and silver were as much a symbol of luxury and status as they are today, and highly valued.
‘Ancient gold jewellery tends to be comparatively high-carat — close to 24-carat, and roughly 93 per cent pure or better, which gives it a warm golden hue and a texture not typically found in modern jewellery,’ explains the specialist.
A pair of Achaemenid gold bracelets, Iran, circa 5th century B.C. 3 3/16 in (8.1 cm) wide; weight: 208.3 gr. and 194.2 gr. Estimate: £30,0000-50,000. Offered in Antiquities on 5 July 2023 at Christie’s in London
Gold of that purity is also very soft, which means that an ancient stone in an ancient gold setting cannot be resized. Collectors who want to wear a centuries-old gemstone should consider one set in a modern gold fixture as a sturdier alternative.
‘Our earrings can all be worn, but in many cases we advise buyers to add a modern gold post or ear wire,’ says Solomon. While some can be worn as they are, others have lost the parts that can be attached to the ear. Either way, it may be wise to have a jeweller add a modern element to reduce stress on the timeworn components.
Pay attention to symbols
A Greek gold gem-set pendant earring, late Hellenistic period, circa 2nd-1st century B.C. 3 in (7.5 cm) long. Sold for £13,860 on 7 December 2022 at Christie’s in London
Christie’s antiquities auctions often include pieces depicting symbolic objects, gods or animals. Part of the decoration of the earring above is an Egyptian crown formed of a sun disc and feather motif — otherwise known as the ‘crown of Isis’ — which is found across the eastern Mediterranean. Below it is a circular rosette with a cabochon garnet centre and, beneath that, a drop pendant figure of Eros playing a lyre and wearing garments associated with Attis.
A Greek carnelian intaglio of Herakles, Hellenistic period, circa 2nd-1st century B.C. 1 in (2.5 cm) long. Sold for £27,720 on 7 December 2022 at Christie’s in London
Many objects don’t have identifying marks or inscriptions, but certain mythological subjects and historical figures are used repeatedly and easily recognisable.
‘Whenever you see a woman with her hair pulled back and a crested helmet sitting back on her head, that is the goddess Athena,’ says Solomon. Athena was a popular subject for ancient jewellery: she was the goddess of wisdom and war, and considered extremely powerful.
Another identifiable figure is an athletic man with a lion pelt draped over his arm or tied around his shoulders, representing the Greek hero Herakles (or Hercules to the Romans) — as in the intaglio above.
Ask about provenance
An Egyptian carnelian bead necklace, New Kingdom, 18th Dynasty, circa 1540-1292 B.C., and two ‘Egyptian style’ replica brooches. Necklace 20½ in (52 cm) long. Estimate: £6,000-8,000. Offered in Antiquities on 5 July 2023 at Christie’s in London
In ancient jewellery, as with any work of art, knowing the provenance of an object can add another dimension to it.
The carnelian bead necklace above was once in the collection of Egyptologist Cyril Aldred (1914-1991) and his wife, Jessie Kennedy Morton. Aldred was celebrated for his contributions to the study of ancient Egyptian art and history.
In 1937 he joined the Royal Scottish Museum in Edinburgh as an assistant keeper, remaining with the museum for the rest of his life. His first book, Old Kingdom Art in Ancient Egypt, was published in 1949, followed by volumes on the Middle and New Kingdoms respectively in 1950 and 1952. This necklace was given to the current owner by Aldred as a wedding present in 1984.
The fact that an object was previously owned by a noted expert can make it more attractive to buyers, potentially adding to its value.
Beware of fakes
Collectors should adopt a healthy scepticism when it comes to bead necklaces, gold bracelets and other ancient jewellery. ‘More pieces have survived from antiquity than you might expect,’ says Solomon. ‘But there are fakes that have either been created to deceive, or else fashioned as revival jewellery to imitate ancient pieces in style.’
The specialist recently attended a lecture on diamonds, which do not commonly appear on the ancient jewellery market although they did exist in Roman times. ‘Ancient diamonds were not cut as they are in contemporary jewellery,’ she explains. ‘Instead, they were used in their raw form and set in gold.’
Diamonds were, however, highly valued for their durability and used to carve images into other stones. ‘When you see carved gems set into rings, the very thin lines may well have been created using diamonds,’ explains Solomon.

The cutting and polishing of diamonds in the way that is familiar today didn’t begin until late Byzantine times, after the 10th century. ‘If I saw a cut diamond in a Roman ring, I would know that it was not ancient,’ says the specialist.
Materials can also play a role in authenticating works purporting to be from certain regions and time periods. Lapis lazuli, for instance, comes from Afghanistan. But Solomon advises caution. ‘The ancient world was so fluid that cultures became interspersed,’ she says. ‘So it’s not impossible that you could find lapis in England, for example, because of the patterns of trade.’

President Barack Obama visits Camp Victory, in Baghdad. By Charles Dharapak/A.P.Images.
For the first time since being elected president, Barack Obama visited Iraq today. In addition to meeting with Prime Minister Nouriel al-Maliki, Obama addressed about 600 of the 140,000 U.S. troops deployed in the country.
"It is time for us to transition to the Iraqis," he told the soldiers. "They need to take responsibility for their country."
Obama's plan calls for most soldiers to be out of Iraq by 2010.
Unlike Bush, blamed by many Iraqis for the tens of thousands who died after the invasion even as some acknowledge their gratitude for the fall of Saddam Hussein, Obama would be welcomed by Iraqis, analysts said.
"No flying shoes this time for sure," said political analyst Hazem al-Nuaimi.

Not everyone is an eggplant lover. But this eggplant recipe may change that. Long, slender Asian eggplant are no-fuss, and soak up the spicy, sweet, sticky sauce they’re doused with when creamy and tender. This is a hearty, gluten-free, vegetarian main course paired with brown rice, quinoa or even wheat berries, but would also make a terrific side dish.
- 4 tablespoons coconut or canola oil, divided
- 2 pounds Asian eggplant (any variety), cut into 3/4 chunks
- 6 cloves garlic, sliced
- 1 (1-inch) knob of ginger, peeled and minced
- 1-2 serrano chiles, minced (optional)
- 1/4 cup palm or cane sugar
- 1/4 cup fish sauce
- 1/4 cup water
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons roughly chopped cilantro, divided
- 2 tablespoons roughly chopped Thai or Italian basil, divided
Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add eggplant and toss quickly to coat evenly with the oil. Cook 8-10 minutes, tossing and flipping occasionally with a stiff spatula, until just tender and charred in some places. Turn into a large bowl.
Lower heat to medium. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan along with garlic, ginger and chile. Saute 30 seconds, until fragrant. Sprinkle sugar and fish sauce over top and swirl in water. Bring to a boil and cook for 3-5 minutes, until the consistency of syrup (thick enough to coat the back of a spoon). Season with a couple turns of freshly ground black pepper.
Return eggplant to the pan and toss several times to coat with the sauce. Toss with half the cilantro and basil, transfer eggplant to a serving bowl, and top with remaining herbs.
Cook Time: 12-14 minutes

Phonogram producers can prevent sampling
The German Federal Court of Justice (BGH) recently brought an end to a more than 20-year long saga in the “Metall auf Metall IV” case. In its decision (available here, in German), the BGH decided that reproduction of two-second sound samples infringes the related right of reproduction of phonogram producers.
The dispute began in 1997 when the company Pelham used two-second sound samples from Kraftwerk’s “Metall auf Metall” soundtrack to produce the “Nur mir” song. Kraftwerk, as the producer of the phonogram, on which “Metall auf Metall” was originally recorded, filed suit, claiming that Pelham infringed its related right to reproduction. The case made its way all up to the BGH, which sought clarification from the CJEU in regards to the interpretation of the so-called InfoSoc Directive, particularly its Article 2(c) which addresses the phonogram producers’ reproduction right. In its “Pelham” decision, which has already been reported at IPI, the CJEU clarified that the use of sound samples, albeit very short ones, infringes the phonogram producers’ right of reproduction, except when the samples are used in a modified form and are unrecognisable to the ear.
In light of the “Pelham” decision, the BGH weighed whether the “Metall auf Metall” samples are recognisable to the ear of an average music listener, and whether their use could be allowed under exceptions contained in the German Copyright Act Urheberrechtsgesetz (UrhG) that implement Article 5 of the InfoSoc Directive, particularly the quotation exception (Section 51 UrhG), incidental inclusion (Section 57 UrhG), or parody and pastiche. The BGH ultimately decided that the samples used were recognisable to the average music listener’s ear and that no exceptions were applicable, and therefore Pelham infringed Kraftwerk’s related right of phonogram producers.
The BGH’s decision is hardly unexpected (all the more so considering the CJEU’s last year “Pelham” judgement) and it opens the door for an expansive interpretation of related rights and therefore their protection. In doing so, it warns future music creators that, before resorting to samples, they should be wary not only of others’ copyright but of phonogram producers’ related rights as well.
On January 5, 2022, the Ministry of Economic Development and Technology (MGRT), together with the Intellectual Property Office (URSIL), organized an online consultation. Representatives of URSIL and MGRT first presented to the interested professional public the planned substantive changes to the main solutions of the amended Proposal on Amendments to the Copyright and Related Rights Act (ZASP-I) and the amended Proposal on Amendments to the Collective Management of Copyright and Related Rights Act (ZKUASP-A). Many participants argued that the competent drafter did not provide the interested parties with the amended draft proposals before the discussion, but instead provided all the registered participants only with a meager slide presentation, which was misleading in some places.

Blog post, ThePeoplesVoice.org, Nov. 21, 2013, by Stephen Lendman. He lives in Chicago and is an author. He hosts discussions with distinguished guests on the Progressive Radio News Hour on the Progressive Radio Network.
Longstanding Pentagon operations reflect a black hole of unaccountability. Reuters published a two-part report. In July, it discussed the Defense Department’s “payroll quagmire.”
It’s bureaucracy is stifling. It’s “unyielding,” said Reuters. Active duty and retired military personal are routinely cheated. Pay errors are widespread.
Correcting “or just explaining them can test even the most persistent soldiers.” Weeks or months pass without resolution.
Some personnel are cheated on pay. Others are penalized for overpayments. Their earnings are “drastically cut” unfairly. Precise figures are impossible to calculate.
At issue is “the Defense Department’s jury-rigged network of mostly incompatible computer systems for payroll and accounting, many of them decades old, long obsolete, and unable to communicate with each other,” said Reuters.
It claims it’s working to correct the problem. It’s longstanding. It persists.
Congressional budget debates largely ignore massive Pentagon waste, fraud and abuse. Lip service at most is paid to it.
Advancing America’s imperium matters most. Pedal-to-the-metal unaudited spending continues out-of-control.


Federal officials Wednesday announced the two-year undercover investigation and its culmination: indictments of 23 people for alleged violations of the Archaeological Resources Protection Act and the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act.
…U.S. Attorney for Utah Brett L. Tolman described the defendants as “largely excavators, dealers and collectors.”
The illegally obtained 256 relics include decorated Anasazi pottery, an assortment of burial and ceremonial masks, a buffalo headdress, and ancient sandals known to be associated with burials. Federal officials said the artifacts were worth more than $335,000.
… The arrests underscore “how much work we need to do to make sure our cultural heritage is safeguarded,” said Kevin Mack, National Landscape Conservation System Campaign director at The Wilderness Society.


In the dynamic and ever-evolving world of game development, streamlining workflows and ensuring efficient communication among team members is paramount. One powerful tool that has gained traction in this industry is the use of sequence diagrams. Sequence diagrams, a type of Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagram, provide a visual representation of the interactions and message exchanges between various entities within a system.
For game developers, sequence diagrams can serve as a game-changer, enabling them to better understand, communicate, and optimize their game's architecture and functionality. By leveraging the power of sequence diagrams, developers can improve collaboration, identify potential bottlenecks, and enhance the overall quality of their game projects.
In this blog post, we will delve into the world of sequence diagrams and explore how they can be effectively utilized in game development workflows. We'll discuss the benefits of incorporating sequence diagrams, provide practical examples, and demonstrate how to create them using the popular ZenUML diagramming syntax.

I was casting about for something quick for lunch, and I came up with this:
Wild Blueberry Belgian Waffles with Meyer Lemon Curd.
Quick, you say? Why, what is Elisson smoking? Whatchoo mean, quick?
It took all of three minutes to throw it all together...but only because the two key ingredients - the waffles and the Meyer lemon curd - had been prepared in advance. Otherwise, it would have been a lengthier undertaking.
There’s something about Meyer lemons that can brighten the dreariest February day. They have a more subtle flavor than the bright yellow everyday lemons we get in the Stupid-Market, and their thin, orange-yellow skin makes a potent, aromatic zest. I saw a pile of those bad boys at Fresh Market the other day and couldn’t resist.
Making the lemon curd requires some patience because you have to cook it slowly in a double boiler over simmering water - otherwise, you end up with a heap of lemon-flavored scrambled eggs. The recipe is one that I grabbed from the Bakerina last year, and it is the finest lemon curd I have ever put in my mouth. I had run up a batch last night, figuring on finding any number of uses for it. Besides simply eating it right out of the bowl with a honkin’ big spoon, that is.
As for the waffles, I had made those a couple of weeks ago when Eric, the Princess Fiona, and Zonker came a-calling. I had used the basic recipe that came with our Belgian waffle iron, substituting melted butter for the vegetable oil and throwing in a pile of wild blueberries to give ’em some extra flavor and color. But I had doubled the recipe - you do not want to be short of waffles when dealing with partially hung over, ravenous bloggers - and as a result there was a small mountain of leftover waffles and plenty of unused batter. The extra batter ended up in the sink, but the surplus waffles ended up in the freezer in a Ziploc bag, whence they could be extracted one or two at a time whenever the Waffle-Mood struck. Not as good as fresh-made, but a lot quicker...and way better than those frozen Mini-Manhole Covers they sell at the local Foode Shoppe.
Two frozen waffles, thawed out in the Nuke-Machine for one minute, followed by a quick run through the toaster to crisp ’em up, and they were the perfect base for a couple of healthy dollops of lemon curd and a few spoons of Dickinson’s Wild Maine Blueberry Syrup. Yowza!
About two hours in the gym oughta be enough to work it off...

Guardiola’s side have a chance to get revenge over Tottenham after falling to the Spurs in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Pochettino’s side were victorious in the Champions League quarterfinal where they advanced thanks to the away goals rule with an aggregate score of 4-4. City will need a win if they want to get back above Liverpool in the Premier League table.
Tottenham are third behind City, with a 16-point gap too much for the Spurs to put any pressure over the Citizens even if they were to win once more tomorrow. Their battle is with Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea over a place in the Champions League next season.
Manchester City Team News
Guardiola will have close to a full squad available with no suspensions to account for and just two injuries – Zinchenko and Bravo who is out with a long-term injury.
BACK TO IT 👊
— Manchester City (@ManCity) April 18, 2019
Ederson will be starting in goal and will have Kyle Walker at right-back and possibly Benjamin Mendy once more on the left. In the middle, it will be Laporte and one between Stones and Otamendi with the latter the most likely to get the nod.
In midfield, Fernandinho will take back his place starting lineup place and could be joined by De Bruyne and Gundogan to make up a great trio in the middle of the park.
The attack could be left intact with respect to the Champions League match, with Bernardo Silva starting at right wing, Aguero in the middle and man-in-form Raheem Sterling on the left.
Predicted lineup (4-3-3)
Ederson; Walker, Otamendi, Laporte, Mendy; De Bruyne, Fernandinho, Gundogan; Bernardo Silva, Aguero, Sterling
Tottenham Hotspur Team News
The Spurs will have to do without both Harry Kane who damaged his ligaments last week and Moussa Sissoko who had to come off during yesterday’s match with a groin problem. In addition, Aurier and Dier are also both not available for the match.
— Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) April 18, 2019
At the back, Pochettino will likely start with Trippier and Rose at fullback positions while Davinson Sanchez, Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen are the three Spurs center-backs to start the match.
Wanyama, Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen will make up the midfield for the away side.
In absence of Harry Kane, Tottenham will have to start with Lucas Moura and Heung Min Son in attack with Llorente who could take part in due course.

Sort of, open to intepretation
The D&D 3.5 Dungeon Master's Guide, p.28, has a "fumbles" variant:
If you want to model the chance that in combat a character could fumble his weapon, then when a player rolls a 1 on his attack roll, have him make a DC 10 Dexterity check. If he fails, his character fumbles. You need to decide what it means to fumble, but in general, that character should probably lose a turn of activity as he regains his balance, picks up a dropped weapon, clears his head, steadies himself, or whatever.
Losing a turn of activity could be interpreted to mean that you lose your current turn. If you had multiple attacks in that turn, it would be possible to hit with the first one before losing your turn, which could easily lead to the situation where rolling a 1 causes you to lose your turn when already partway through your iterative attacks. I would probably interpret it as losing your next turn, but I can see the logic that it wouldn't make sense to continue your multiple attacks this turn and lose the next. If rolling a 1 is interpreted as dropping your weapon, it wouldn't make as much sense to keep making attacks after you drop it.
Losing an entire next turn also isn't much fun, but critically missing all attacks this turn is a more reasonable experience.
I can't find any other fumble rules in the DMG, DMG2 or Unearthed Arcana, or any 3.5-era Dragon articles on fumbles, so my guess is that there are probably no other fumble rules in an official D&D product.

Residents of Scituate, Massachusetts have been faced with some water quality concerns recently with the public water supply, mostly related to manganese. The Scituate Water Division is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the water treatment plant, six water wells, two booster stations, two water storage tanks, four corrosion control stations, three surface water supplies, 300 acres of watershed, 124 miles of water distribution system, 754 fire hydrants and 7690 water meters! Having received numerous calls about these issues, this write-up is intended to shed a little more light on what is going on without getting too deep into the chemistry.
CAUSES & SOLUTIONS
As Scituate’s population swells during the summer months from approximately 18,000 people to about 30,000, the water color has been turning a brownish color to the dismay of Scituate homeowners, for decades. The main culprit is the manganese level in the water both from the natural occurrence in the water supply and some very old piping in the distribution system. While the town is working on a very expensive pipe replacement project, there is no guarantee that this will fully resolve the issue. See the following link for a past newspaper article on this topic Newspaper article
DISCOLORATION & STAINING
Discoloration and staining can be caused by many things in the water supply. In Scituate, the source has been determined to be elevated levels of manganese, a mineral common in Massachusetts water supplies. Aging pipes can accumulate this mineral on its surfaces over time and release various amounts in the water supply as pH and temperature levels change. In addition to this, natural levels exist in the water which will also make its way throughout the water distribution system. The aesthetics associated with bathing or drinking water that resemble the color of tea is an unappealing choice. Laundry can also become discolored from high levels of manganese.
SOLUTION: Manganese can be removed with sediment filtration and water softening (Ion Exchange) technology. Particulate manganese and iron will be removed with the proper sediment water filtration while dissolved manganese can be removed with a water softener. For more information on manganese, see the link to the Water Technology Magazine article at: Article on Manganese in Water
In summary, proper water filtration or water softening systems are very effective in removing manganese from water, regardless of the concentration level determined through testing. The result is clear, clean water.

Forget about processor gigahertz on the desktop or notebook, the real action nowadays in inside smartphones and tablets. One of the biggest players in the mobile space is Qualcomm, and its newest batch of Snapdragon silicon indicates that the company has its eye on a spot inside tomorrow's high-end devices.
The company unveiled two new chipsets at CES 2013: the Snapdragon 800 and 600.
The Snapdragon 800 is Qualcomm's new high-end offering. According to the specs, it is 75 percent faster than the S4 Pro, making it a seriously powerful piece of kit.
Along with the performance boost, the Snapdragon 800 also features the new quad-core Krait 400 architecture running at a maximum of 2.3GHz, a new Hexagon V5 digital signal processor, a new Adreno 330 GPU which is twice as fast as the Adreno 320 GPU in the S4 Pro, and support for 800MHz LPDDR3 memory as well as 4G LTE.
The Snapdragon 800 has enough horsepower to capture and play back 4K video at 30fps, and 2K video at 60fps, plus offering support for 7.1 channel DTS-HD and DD Plus audio standards.
The Snapdragon 800 is expected to make an appearance inside devices by mid-2013.
The other processor is the Snapdragon 600. While not as fast as the Snapdragon 800, the Snapdragon 600 is no slouch, and offers 40 percent more performance than the S4 Pro at lower power consumption.
The Snapdragon 600 features a new quad-core Krait 300 architecture with speeds up to 1.9GHz, a new Adreno 320 GPU and support for LPDDR3 memory.
According to Qualcomm, devices running Snapdragon 600 should be available by the second quarter of 2013.
"With the overwhelming success of our previous Qualcomm Snapdragon platforms, our mobile processors have emerged as the platform of choice for high-end mobile devices," said Steve Mollenkopf, president and chief operating officer of Qualcomm. "With more than 50 design wins already secured with the first products of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 and 800 processors, we are advancing our vision and setting the standard for excellence in mobile computing."


The heavily armored mechanical “suits” known as Titans are the main attraction of Titanfall. As cool as they are, we can’t help wondering how mechs from other popular video games would look in the world of Respawn‘s first-person shooter.
Take, for example, Metal Gear REX [above] from the Metal Gear Solid series. How awesome would it be to stomp on puny pilots, like Liquid Snake did to Gray Fox, and hunt down Titans using REX’s rail gun and anti-tank missiles?
