    <span style='color:blue'>*looks at his attempts*

    "I never thought of doing it that way, I was going to attach a manual targeting system too. The only problem I can see with your system is that the sieges are going to be taking there rotations from the rotations of your head traking system in the helmet. That means that unless you are standing directly on the siege, you will never be looking at the same spot, so aiming might be difficult. If you attached a camera or something to the sieges, you would get a much clearer view of where you are firing, but you would only be able to control one of them at once."

    *stops and thinks for a bit*

    "If we could fashoin a crude aiming device, such as a sticky grenade that we could throw on to the mechs, and then force the sieges to fire on those co-oordinates, that would allow us to control them all at once and would be slightly easier than trying to aim them all by hand."</span>

Besides, if we are the advanced form of draug, why is everybody trying to kill us, including our distant relatives, the kharaa and our less advandes cousins, the draug?

    <span style='color:blue'>[private to squad] "Whatever we do, we had better do it quickly. These guys in here are getting edgy, I can see it in thier face. Probably something to do with the bomber that is gonna blow us all to kingdom come. I don't think they trust us at all, especially not 344/Ceanjia. My guess is that this bomber Night Shade is talking about came from the same place these guys did, one of the local TSA guardposts with orders to wipe this place out."

    *starts walking out of the room, then stops*

    "Ceanjia, if you are not 344, and you didn't come with these guys, you must have been here all along. In that case, why didn't the Professor, or anybody else mention you, and why didn't you show your face when 344 started trying to kill us? If you really think we are evil life-forms, you would have assisted 344. If you thought we were freindly, you would have helped us. Since, as you said, we are much more powerful than any of these Frontiersmen, surely we would be the better ally. Why come out of hiding only when these TSA show up. The only logical explanation is that you didn't show up becasue you didn't exist. Nobody has ever seen you and 344 together, becasue you are one and the same. You didn't try to help us becasue you, as 344, were trying to kill us."
