The Seekers. An elite special forces group exclusive to flying cybertronian warriors whose existence predated the Autobot-Decepticon War. They were the best and brightest of the Cybertronian Armed Forces back then. Now, they were the best and brightest of the recently-formed Decepticons, still grinding gears and tearing scrap up with as much style as ever. Sitting across from one another in the bay of a dropship in high orbit over Cybertron, the seekers Jetfire – a Guardian-class flier – and Slipstream – a Stalker-class flier – examined their new integral weapon systems co-invented by Starscream and Thundercracker. Known as the STX-8, the state-of-the-art weaponry was quite simple in appearance; a sleek, dark, and smooth emplacement protruding …show more content…
“Still not getting along with Starscream?” Jetfire asked. “I'll never get along with that idiot,” Slipstream asserted. Thundercracker glared at Slipstream with immense persecution. “Starscream may be impulsive, vile, and unequivocal, but he is most certainly not an idiot. In fact, he's quite the opposite, whether you’re willing to admit it or not. More importantly, he's our leader; your leader. He deserves your utmost respect,” Thundercracker scorned. Internally, Slipstream simmered with contempt, but maintained outward composure, even in the face of someone praising Starscream, the man she hated most. “Of course, Thundercracker. My apologies,” Slipstream conceited. Thundercracker just stared at Slipstream for a moment, not saying a word. After a few nanocycles, he summoned a series of additional holograms around his own projection, manipulating the images as he made his …show more content…
“Talk later?” she asked. “Of course,” Jetfire replied with a warm smile. The two seekers readied themselves in front of the dropship's aft door. Jetfire gave Slipstream a friendly nudge, one last banter before it was time for no-nonsense, all-business. Slipstream hit the door release. The wind howled as it wrapped around the speeding craft. Jetfire looked down at the city below. They were right above Stanix, directly over the central plaza. The cityscape jutted high up into the atmosphere, a spectacle to behold, one that was about to get a whole lot less glorious. “We'll rebuild it someday. When all this is over,” he thought to himself. He hated having to destroy something so beautiful, but he hated the caste system even more, and would do whatever was necessary to bring it crashing down. “Comms check. You read me, Slip?” Jetfire called out through the closed data link between him and Slipstream. “I read you, Jet. Comms online. Data streams nominal,” Slipstream replied. “DECCOM, this is Sky Commander Jetfire. Comms check,” Jetfire called out through the AO data link between all Decepticon forces partaking in the
Even though he felt "most charmed" by her, he felt that he was more "inclined to despise her" because of the mutual qualities he saw in both of them. His insecurity was a strong defect in his life that it even blocked the possibility of his own happiness in the end.

Curare, also known scientifically as, Chondrodendron tomentosum is a substance which is bitter and grows on the stems and barks of some South American plants. Curare is known to paralyze the motor nerves.

There is no doubt that the particular layout of space of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition reflected the gender inequalities that existed within American society at the time. In particular, the Women’s Building offered a microcosm of the prejudices that dominated the overall landscape of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition. Although the men who organized the Columbian Exposition were unable to exclude women’s achievements altogether from the exposition, they were successful in relegating them into a bounded unit that overwhelmingly categorized their contributions as different and marginal, framing womanliness as “soft,” “delicate,” and “refined.” Discussions of the Women’s Building’s architectural aesthetics highlights such gendered dimensions of the Columbian Exposition quite clearly.
While a large part of NGC’s strategy is devoted to prime contract development of capability-based systems for the Department of Defense, NGC also provides professional engineering services to provide value to its customers.

In the year 3000, the planet Earth is a desolate wasteland. It has been a little over a half a century since the “big one” hit the Earth. The majority of the human race has been eliminated with only a few hundred remaining. The only ones who have survived barely made it on to the spaceship as the big one smashed the Earth. Marcus is one of the many survivors coping with solar winds and debris floating around the Moon. After half a century, the survivors are running out of supplies on the moon. The crew must go back to post-apocalyptic Earth and explore the wasteland. Marcus knows that this journey will not be an easy one. They encounter different
