Periodically Updated Thought

"True glory consists in doing what deserves to be written; in writing what deserves to be read; and in so living as to make the world happier for our living in it." -- Pliny The Elder

Let's get out there and write what deserves to be read, people.

I finally caved and added this to my list. I always felt that my transcription was too slow, and preferred verifying, but I've been doing some transcription lately.

Origin of Nickname

"A truly fearsome beast, the great viper of Arcadia possesses strength and tenacity unmatched by any other predator on that world. It coils around its prey in a crushing embrace, then finishes its kill with a deadly poison. The warriors of the Clan I name Steel Viper show remarkable tenacity in battle and in their service to our great mission. May they continue to serve with unshakable faith, and may their opponents learn to fear the fangs of the Steel Vipers."
-- From Birth of a New Society: The Collected Writings of Nicholas Kerensky, Strana Mechty Press, 3025

Gun Stuff

Gurth-Telechý

Gurth-Telechý has been operational for some time now. However, never to be satisfied with the status quo, I decided to swap out scope rings on her the other day. The result was the scope being as close to the bore as I could imagine (at least while still being able to move the AO). I had to swap scope bases to get it up a little higher, as the bell ended up touching the barrel with just the ring swap.

Mortal Storm	Commander/Wiki-helper

At GalacticaBS (and now at the Mortal Storm board) I'm known as "WikiViper" due to the abundance of Vipers there, and the fact that "Steel" and "SV" are both already taken.
