Always blame the lizard. Especially when that lizard isn't even a lizard at all. (I wouldn't call Selene a lizard when she's around. She's a Vashti. Hopefully, she won't kill you.)

"Oh, tell me about it." Lightning rolled his eyes. "On the ops I've been in, there's practically ALWAYS been one of those. Makes everything harder to deal with. Such is the life of SPARTANs, I guess." "Well, given how much we've already been through, I think our chances of survival are quite high. We can do this if we work together." (OOC: I'm hoping someone asks what's a Spartan or something like that.)

@Ethan Sawyer, Is it just me or did everyone miss my post? Or is it just that no one except you and Lordav are paying any attention?

(OOC: Sorry for not writing ANYTHING this past month or so. I've been quite busy so I haven't had time to do so. I'll try to get back into my normal posting pace, but I can't guarantee anything right now.) Lightning had been roaming the ship, exploring the corridors, sleeping, and exploring (again) because he had nothing better to do. By the time Scarlett had called for a team to gather in Engineering, he wasn't quite sure of where he was. Darn it, Lightning, why'd you get lost? Oh well. You're a SPARTAN. You can just find your way back. He hadn't been paying attention to the picture of the Destiny's map, so he couldn't just retrace his steps. After about 15 minutes, he finally got back to the gate room, finding Solar, Amber, and Sapphire already there. @Mentis Soliloquy, @1Bit, and @Unicorncob, "Sorry I'm late. What'd I miss? And where's Scarlett?"

Lightning heard this and responded. "Yeah, we're on our way back. ETA on FTL maybe?" As he waited for a response, he turned back to Sapphire. "I just hope we make it back in time. Otherwise, we'll have to go back to that planet, and I'm not too eager to go back there."

Title: MiataPony: The Documentary Plot: Get an inside look into the life of the definite authority on all thing MX-5, MiataPony. Join us as we spend a day with him, going through his regular routine of Miatas, more Miatas, and, after the Miatas, yet more Miatas. Rated MX-5 for Miatas, Xtreme Stuff, and ages 5 and up. , I also love the MX-5. One of my fave cars by far.

Lightning felt Sapphire snuggle up to him. She's just so wonderful, he thought. I could do this forever. He snuggled as well. The fact that she had her armor on didn't bother him. In fact, he found it rather cute. All that mattered at this moment was Sapphire. "Don't worry," he whispered. "I'm here for you always."

"A hug? Well, I can do that!" Lightning hugged Sapphire, stroking her mane. It's so nice...It's really sad to see her so down. She doesn't deserve to feel like this. "And don't worry about Scarlett. I'm sure she probably forgot about anything and everything bad after surviving the impossible, huh?" He kissed her on the cheek.

Lightning saw Sapphire's expression and immediately felt sorry for her. She always tries to do what she feels is right, and she gets murdered for it. That ain't right. He walked up to her, sat down next to her, and hugged her. "You wanna talk about it? There's no use in keeping it to yourself. Only makes thing worse."

Lightning observed the conversations going on, not able to put in a single word. Huh, and I'M usually the talkative one! As all the other ponies entered the shuttle, Lightning took a quick look around to make sure nothing was amiss, and quickly darted back into the shuttle. , "Hurry it up Flame. We haven't much time left. It's now or never."

Lightning could hardly believe it. But he cursed himself for not expecting that. The Ancients weren't idiots, after all. They always had a plan for everything. "Whelp, we just discovered that the Destiny survived, and that we have to haul ass back over there, and quick. That means we need you at the front again." Lightning turned to the other ponies who had left the ship. "Everyone back inside! The Destiny survived! We've gotta get back there, double-time! Let's go!"

Ugh, not THIS again! Lightning immediately stepped in. "Girls, girls, please! We can talk about this later. For now, let's focus on settling down and surviving. Then, once we have THAT outta the way, we can discuss personal matters. Now, I am taking tactical command of all military personnel, not that it really matters. That means that, technically, Flame, Amber, and Sapphire, are now under my jurisdiction. However, if y'all have an idea, I'm all ears. At this point, I'm ruling nothing out. So, what should we do first?"

Where'd you hear that? I heard it on Fox News, actually. I also discovered that kids can and would eat all the cereal in the world, and apparently, kids think that Tony the Tiger should get more buff. Wat?

@1Bit and @Unicorncob, Lightning was relieved to know that Solar was forgiving him. The last thing he needed was an enemy. "Okay then. I'm gonna head on out and scout the area. If y'all need anything, just call me, and I'll be right over, okay?" @Mentis Soliloquy, Lightning trotted off and stood beside Sapphire. "Well, here we are. I'm gonna scout out the surrounding areas. Wanna tag along?"

I'm happy and sad because it's Good Friday: Happy because I get to go to my favorite parish in Houston, sad because today, we commemorate the death of Our Lord Jesus Christ. How are y'all doing?

Sorry. Tried to sound smart, and I forgot sound science in the process. Oh well. Plz forgive my n00bness when it comes to anything Stargate-related.

Complex explanations: creating an energy shield that not only protects the ship, but also keeps external conditions out. Simple explanation: The Destiny's got the magics.

Lightning looked at the two mares. "Solar, I think it's best for you to stay with Amber until she feels like coming out. She's been through a lot, and she's probably just tired because of our argument. On that note, I'd like to apologize for what happened. I was so caught up in trying to convince you that my plan was the best. But I forgot to listen to what you thought. And, for that, I'm sorry." (Mentions: @Unicorncob and @1Bit)

OMG That's SOO CUTE! I would absolutely LOVE to have Dash as a friend IRL. If she ever appears in the world, plz call me, PM me, Skype me, Steam me, Hangouts me, FiMFiction me, ICQ me, Discord me, AIM me, everything me!!!

Lightning was intrigued by the idea. "That's a good idea. However, let's see if anyone decides to take the mantle of leadership." Lightning turned to the other ponies. "Alright everypony. Let's head on out." He pressed a button and opened the shuttle door. He walked to where Solar and Amber were sound asleep. He gently nudged them. "Amber... Solar... it's time to go." he whispered. "We're at the planet now." (Mentions: @Unicorncob, @1Bit, , @Child Of Darkness, @The Original, and @Mentis Soliloquy)

Here's the thing: It's not that Linux isn't supportive of more hardware, it's that a lot of manufacturers still don't give a damn about GNU/Linux. They don't want their Windows monopoly to be dashed away if they make good drivers. The best thing to do is to try and buy computers and parts from companies who have Linux drivers. As I mentioned before, I'm running Linux Mint 17.3 on a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 14" with an Intel i3-370M Dual-core with Hyper-threading. This distro literally saved my computer from imminent self-destruction. Heck, I run a Windows 10 VM with no problems now.
