Atomic gyroscope? What does that even mean? And we can build a gyroscope the size of a chip right now in RL. See the Wii MotionPlus.

It's kinda hard to explain the physics in a short post, but research on this sort of atomic interferometry has been going on for decades. It's only recently DARPA has been pushing it hard and I know of a few research groups who are doing it on a superconducting chip as it is. I think DARPA is trialing one on a vehicle to go from coast to coast. That one is the size of a box that could be carried if I am not wrong.

In any case, (and I highly doubt the Wii uses a fiber gyroscope which is the standard in military applications) they have been using fiber gyroscopes not too much bigger than that chip as it is in missiles for over a decade. Typically they will to be used in tandem with with the atomic ones, especially small scale. (since the integration time is not as good)

And if you really doubt what I am talking about, here: http://tf.nist.gov/ofm/smallclock/CSAG.html . Do note that this is only one of many techniques out there and the one DARPA is funding is different.

*chimes in* Did I hear the world "exploit"?
Lì ci sono chiese, macerie, moschee e questure, lì frontiere, prezzi inaccessibile e freddure
Lì paludi, minacce, cecchini coi fucili, documenti, file notturne e clandestini
Qui incontri, lotte, passi sincronizzati, colori, capannelli non autorizzati,
Uccelli migratori, reti, informazioni, piazze di Tutti i like pazze di passioni...

You can just have a throwaway with Lord Fairax and Shep. Possibly the Ecumenical and Ex-Latin Patriarch getting into a fistfight.

It would be totally badass if you'd write it though. (Pretty please? Gregory's last senile hellfire hurrah!) :D

I'm slightly drunk, so I'm not gonna be posting anything IC until tomorrow.

Not really, no. More like getting pelted with fake blood by anti war protestors.

I considered gunning them down Image with a concealed SMG; but fuck, I don't think that'd fly, as cool as the image looks; and Loinstar would be enormously pissed.

Ah, too bad. There are moments in the deep of night, when my sanity lapses, when I think that it would be nice to see another properly Sheppard-run country in this game. You know, just to ruffle some feathers and have something interesting happen beyond 'MESS blame CATO / CATO blame MESS'...

Well, Shep could have an imperial restoration of Japanistan. They had Space planes before Skimmer called it quits.
