Re: Big Sister (40k/???)

I don't think Thalia's dead. Even if it's a full Eldar strike team, she's under the protection of a team of crack human fighters, and a friggen Salamander Apothecary. And if I remember correctly, Space Marine combat medics put a pretty big emphasis on the combat portion of that title. I thought tha...

Re: Big Sister (40k/???)

I'll take that chapter as a no, it didn't happen in canon. I wonder if we're about to see the annihilation of an entire eldar craftworld or two in retaliation, if that caravan included who Lady Trevar just suggested, but then who is the one immune to telepathy that they hadn't found yet? Or did the ...

Re: Big Sister (40k/???)

2 updates in 2 days, this has been a good long weekend :D So, Konrad's visions indicate the emperor's fate is unchanged and Konrad now has a brother who he may choose to confide in later who will be receptive when his visions keep coming. This is getting more and more interesting. A quick question t...

Re: Big Sister (40k/???)

Hmm. After rereading the story so far from the start to now, I can't help but think that the Big Sister from the title may have started out as Nanoha.... but will end with Thalia taking on the role to the Salamanders, after hearing Teruel's reaction upon realising the relationship. Perhaps if Vulcan...

Re: Miniature Human Livers Created in the Lab

Oh, hell yes! :D If the process can overcome the various technical hurdles, no longer will hospitals have to choose between long-term lifestyle based liver failure patients and disease patients to receive the limited number of donor livers. Successfully adapting the process to other organs such as t...

Re: portable breast scanner

Sounds like a moderately significant development in breast cancer screening. As Broomstick stated, I too am curious about the false postive/false negative rates this device produces. If it has a low enough false negative rate, it could be used such that only images with red areas are then referred o...

Re: Amino acids could form in Titan's atmosphere

Wow. That's quite interesting. I wonder if they'll launch an orbiter with this sort of investigation in mind within my lifetime. Guess I'll just have to wait and see....

Re: New Member Introductions

Greetings everyone. I recently came across this board after reading a couple of fanfiction pieces written by Academia Nut and wanting to see more. A quick browse through some of the board sections seems to indicate that I'll be contentedly lurking around, listening to the debates and discussions wit...
