Here's the tiberium twilight trailer: http://pc.gamespy.com/dor/objects/3684/command-conquer-4/videos/comand4trlrevealtrailer_72709.html

Gas masks would protect sometimes, although really the best way to protect people would be to move them away from tiberium fields.

Anyways, I'm pretty sure the tacitus is more than just a giant data storage device. The massive capacity for explosion it apparently possesses would seem to indicate it is a power source or suchlike.

As for the forgotten, i'm pretty sure it's more accurate to say Tratos had success at cracking the tacitus raipidly, and he died. After the Down With Food and Air* riots, they probably left the area they'd been living in to avoid that ever happening again.

*Not the actual name

1. The Road to Lothlorien by KounetsuDeb
With orcs behind them and the maze of forests ahead of them, the fellowship could use a guide. Luckly Haldir is there to guide their way, unless he's too distracted by the green-eyed wizard among them. boyboy implied.

Boromir shook his head. "Orcs behind, the Witch of Lothlorien ahead... we could use a guide, Aragorn."

Aragorn looked uncomfortable. "I am myself uncertain what course to take," he said. "The last time I was here... it wasn't quite so, well..."

"Maze-like?" Gimli suggested. "For all Elves are strange creatures, I wouldn't expect them to sculpt their whole forest into a labyrinth. Crazy lot."

Ahead, Legolas stiffened. "You speak of the Lady of the Golden Wood," he reprimanded the dwarf. "Show a little respect."

"I have to agree with Gimli," Boromir put in. "The maze is a bit much."

Suddenly a voice called out from the single tree they were passing. Legolas smirked, and Aragorn let out a chuckle. "What?" Gimli demanded. "What did he say? I know Elvish speech when I hear it."

It was Frodo who answered. "I make it 'We may be crazy, but at least we're not lost,'" he said.

Gimli scowled at the tree. "Come down here and say that, Elf," he snapped. "My axe will-"

"Be useless, I rather suspect," Aragorn interrupted. "I recognise your voice, Haldir of the Galadhrim. Come down and make our acquaintance."

"What need have I of acquaintance, when I already know who you are?" Haldir said, dropping lightly to the floor. "Nine left Rivendell, and nine have come... uh." He stopped, blinked, and stared at the ninth member of the party. "Who is that, and why is he glaring at me?"

Aragorn glanced over his shoulder. "Oh, him. We found him in Hollin -- it was very strange. Mithrandir called him a wizard, but he doesn't seem to speak Westron."

"Or Sindarin, or Quenya, or Rohirric, or Adunaic, or the Black Speech," Sam muttered. "Or Telerin, Silvan, any of the tongues of the Avari-"

"Yes, thank you, Samwise," Aragorn cut him off. "He seems to be rather jealous of Elves in general, though -- practically green-eyed with envy."

"Does he have a name?" Haldir asked, still watching the 'wizard' cautiously. Merry sniggered.

"We don't know," the Hobbit said. "We just call him Boybo-"

"Haldir," Aragorn cut in, trying to get the border guard's attention. "Can you please help us make sense of this maze?"

"... what? Oh. Right." The elf shook his head and turned back to the Ranger. "You're too far from Caras Galadhon to get there tonight, so if you'll come with me, there's some flets you can rest on..."

Fellow PPC'ers of that Sceptred Isle (TM).

I'm heading over to the UK for work next weekend for five weeks or so (more correctly, three weeks of work then two weeks holiday), during which I will be initially in Winchester, and then roaming around, but in the general vicinity of London/the south-east.

Realising it's short notice, but anyone interested in a mini-Gathering of sorts? I'll be in the UK from 21 Sept to 26 October all up, and on holiday from 9 October onwards.

I've never been to Oxford (unless driving past it on a motorway ten years ago with my parents counts), and given its status as both the home of Professor T and the scene of prior gatherings, may I suggest it as a possible venue?

Elcalion, internationally bound.

At the moment I have three cats: Selina, who is fat and black, and Pepper and Bentley (I was trying for Adam, but when mum offered Bentley instead I leapt on it) who are siblings. Pepper is torteshell and Bentley is black and white, but both of them have white socks and bibs. Selina's lazy, and has been on a diet pretty much since we got her, but Pepper and Bentley are as crazy as all kittens are and love sticking their noses in places they shouldn't, trying to eat my hair and using people's legs as scratching posts. Also, none of them know how to miaow: Selina meeps, and the kittens mrr.

But CAFified...

i hav 3 cats that r like my guardien angles. Celii is the oldest, and she is rly big, almost as big as a dog, and dark black lik my soul and since her son died protecting me form an evil monster she's been lik so depressedd but she still comes to sav me when I need her

Peregrin (I named her after the hobit!11) and Bently are kittens and r so kawii! Peregrin is red and black, like flames, and bently is all black with white around his face that makes :3, but both of them have white socks. They run arund all the time and let me now if theirs danger ahed. They are brother and sister and they share thier power together! I saved them from a men person who was abuzing them becoz I don't like 2 see anyone being hurt (see my history for more details!!)

They all spek to me, but it's in a speshil code that no1 undrstands so that noone can over here us!

-ission out of it, really. Besides, it's been made recently enough that there's still the risk of it being updated while the mission's being written or even after it's done.

I was inspired by Kitsune's thread, so don't let this distract from it.

For those who may not know, Fill the Plothole is a traditional PPC game in which someone (in this case, me) looks over the Pit of Voles for some juicy-looking summaries and posts them here, whereupon anyone who wants to writes a short story based solely on the summary. These shorts can be silly or serious, involve agents or not, as the writer sees fit. Also, as these are not missions, anyone may participate.

So! Without further ado, I give you some juicy-looking summaries:

That'll do for now. As to that last one... I don't even know. O.o

~Neshomeh

I have two dogs, Lady and Monty. Lady is a pure black German Shepherd with a long coat, who quite frequently gets compared to a bear. Monty is a Rottweiler/Labrador (we think) cross breed, who was abandoned by his previous owners meaning that he ended up in the care of the RSPCA. They wrestle over who the boss is, but they never actually try to hurt each other. They usually act like big puppies, especially when food is around.

*engages Sueification machine*

I hav 2 kawaii doggies called Lady Midnight and Montezuma Black. Lady Midnight is pure black and is realy a wolf that can turn into a bare if she needs to. Montezuma Black is a puppy and he was going to be killed by some men because they wanted mean rottwielers and hes more liek a labrador, which is much cuter. Their both super loyal to me and if anyone trys to attack me then they hurt them until they run away. They're also really smart and can understand every word I say and even speak to me in they're own speshul barking code.

I have two cats. One called Salom and the other Sabrina.

Salom is all black, male, from a farm and Swedish. HE is pretty smart, and loves to Attack Sabrina. He is somewhat smart, although Sabrina, who is female, tends to be a tiny bit smarter, but he is much braver then him.

CAF ALERT!!!!
I hav e hte most AWESOMEOUS KATTEH!!! HE"S BIG>>> blak.... and pantheryy... (did you know that there is no such thing as a panther?) He is super smartz, talkz, and has vampire fangz. Did IZ mention he is part Vampire? He also has FOUR BATZ wingz.
end CAF ALERT

I have a fish named Joe. He doesn't do much but expect me to clean his water every single day and feed him three times a day. In return, all he does is bubble at me occasionally when I sit near the computer.

OMG gues what? I got this AMZINGLY AWSOMEFUL FISH. yeha. well, he's not actually a fish, he's actually a GIANT WSUID MOSNTER! yeah. i fedd him to much 1 day and he gew AS BIG AS MY HOUSE! itsn' that amazing?!!1!!1!!!11111 and so now he's not a boring goldfish anmore. HES ACTUALLY MADE OF GOLD. yeah. it's prety coo. all my friends are SO TOALLY JELUS OF SAMFIRE THE AWESOMEST (tats his name)!!!

Ow. Firefox's handy dandy ability to underline the misspelled words is making looking that even worse, if that's possible...

Tinker blast and damn! Argh! Is my face red...

Not that I really mind, anyway. :D

Now, this is a tough one. My pet has blond hair and blue eyes, and he already does all sorts of useful things, like making me a cup of tea in the morning, and going to the shops for me, and hanging my washing out to dry, and making me more cups of tea, and he always makes me laugh. Which sounds a bit CAF-like as it is, except he's human, and he's technically a housemate rather than a pet. Nonetheless.

I have a pet monkey, and he is the most awesomest monkey in the whole world. He does everything I tell him to, because he's really really smart (except when it's funnier that he's silly). Sometimes my monkey lets me put him in a suit and he acts as a butler, and answers the door to let my amazing cool friends in, and he fixes us all drinks and stuff. They say money doesn't grow on trees, but that's a lie - it does, but only my amazing monkey knows where that tree is. He's also really sleek and cute with white hair and azure eyes, and all the girl-monkeys want his uber-kawaii monkey babies.

,,,

And now I feel slightly dirty.

The charge list doesn't need to be as long as your arm to be viable, and after a skim, I think there's enough to get it to the point that the 'Sue deserves killing.

(Hey, if I'm writing something for Fight of Metal Gears, I'm sure something this size is manageable, haha)

Though it's smaller than it used to be, back in the days that I also always had some ink on my fingers from my fountain pen.

I still write a lot by hand. I think about half (perhaps a little more) of the stuff I write gets a first draft by hand and then type it all up. Depending on how much editing I want to do I take pen (for complete scene rewrites) or computer (SGP).

Okay, Murphy's a big fat sable-pattern ferret, with a bad case of hairless tail (something to do with his last moult going funny, the vet assures us it should grow back). He used to be a stray, and was in an unfortunate accident which, to put it bluntly, circumcised him, poor little guy. He's cute and huggable and I've trained him to lick my nose on command ("kiss!" - awwww ^_^) but he has the disgusting habit of drinking his own urine, then trying to lick inside my nose and mouth, so I don't do that often.

Jinx is smaller, skinnier, and yellow. He doesn't do hugs as much, he's a wriggly little monster and he's always gotta be doing something. He still bites sometimes, but he has an excuse because he appears to have been neglected a bit as a kit. I haven't been able to train him to do anything except let go when I yell at him for biting me again.

*turn on Sueify machine*

Okay, after Sueification, Murphy's tail hair is back ... and he now has three of them, which he can spin around really fast to fly with like a helicopter. Instead of being different shades of brown, his fur is now raven black and snowy white (it actually physically hurt to type that). In place of his unfortunate injury from when he was a stray, he now has a dramatic battle scar on his shoulder, where it's clearly visible and a lot less embarrassing, from one of the many times he saved Sue-me's life. He now understands English perfectly rather than just obeying one command when he feels like it, and he no longer has his bad habit of drinking his own urine because I'm pretty sure Cute Animal Friends don't excrete. (It's not "cute" to mess everywhere, and if they don't have to pass waste a Sue can keep them in her pocket/handbag/bra for as long as she wants.)

Jinx now has bright gold-coloured fur instead of pale yellow, and he understands English as well. Instead of merely being able to squeeze through most small gaps I don't want him to squeeze through, he now has the power to phase through solid walls. And rather than simply never having suffered any interesting injuries, he has magical regeneration powers! And teeth which can puncture solid steel! And super-speed! And ... argh, this is painful to imagine.

I have a cat named Merlin, only he's living with my mom because the apartment here is really too small. Anyway, he's a platinum-mink Tonkinese, which is really impossible to accurately describe, so here's a picture--a friend of mine took it while catsitting. He's quite an intelligent cat, very people-friendly. He'll reach up your leg to be picked up like a little kid. However, he's a bit skittish, and he can be very mouthy when he thinks he needs something we're not giving him. Also, while he generally never bites or claws--and he has all of them--he would get angry at me for leaving for extended periods of time (like a weekend) and not be satisfied until he'd taken it out on my arm. Just me, mind, no one else. {= P I maintain that he once deliberately spilled hot tea on me, too.

Now, while that's long-winded enough to be a CAF description, I can do better.

HI I have a kewl kitteh named Merlin, because he's part Kneazle and super-smart! He follows me around like a dog and protects me! His fur is totally silver and pale gold colored, and he has sapphire-emerald eyes (they're kinda both!)! Also he's part dragon, but he pretends to be a cat because its easier, but that's why he can telelport and fly and stuff. And he can talk! Kawaiiiiiii! ^____^

... Yeah. >.
