  • Istoral Chasm Howling winds roar down the trench at frequent intervals, no longer impeded by a bridge. Completely destroyed in a Quintesson assault, the wreckage of the bridge simply fell into the trench, leaving few indications that it ever existed. Below, visible for the first time in millennia, a glimpse of the ragged bottom of Istoral Trench has been revealed by the severe structural stress of the move to a new system. The trench is no longer as wide, either. To the west lies the Glass Abyss, while the maze of crumbling buildings that is the Warrens clog the highway to the east. Contents: Galvatron Bridge Obvious exits: Fly leads to Sky above Istoral Trench. East leads to Warrens. West leads to Perimeter of Glass Abyss. Down leads to Istoral Trench. The menacing form of Scorponok stands upon the edge of the precipice, looking down towards the gaping chasm that has sundered this part of Cybertron. The wind buffets him, but it of little concern for a Transformer of his stature. His dark gaze falls upon the treacherous-looking 'Galvatron bridge', and he broods darkly. "A STAIN upon the face of the planet, that Galvatron recieves such tribute from his warriors... BUT, this decrepit excuse for a 'bridge' may prove useful, as it is the *only* way to pass from one side of the chasm to the other for hundreds of miles. Here we can hold the Autobots at bay, no matter how many may come against us." The Global Pose Tracker marks that Scorponok has 'skipped' his action for this round. "Well it can't be that good of a tribute considering where it's constructed. "Hey, Galvatron lets build a tribute to you in a wretched pole at the aft end of the planet, far far away from where anyone can see it."" Darkwing mocks as he listens to Skorponok complain, as they patrol the area. "Hnn. Septi-cons make bridge." So Grimlock says as he peers at the choke-point. He crouches behind a pile of rubble, watching Scorponok through a pair of binoculars. "Hnm. Septi-cons can fly. Them stupids." he taptaps a finger on the binoculars, then looks over at Impactor. "'less thems WANT us to come here." "Ahm thinkin' the bridge is more to funnel our troops into tight quarters Grim, not fer their transportation." Impactor waxes, staring through his own set of binoculars ... much smaller than Grimlock's pair. "That way they could easily hold their own 'gainst numerous waves, with minimal injuries and need for numbers." the Wrecker Leader sighs, one hand dropping to his side and switching out to it's harpoon component. While Scorponok may seem to be simply standing about in the open, the truth is that part of his mind is occupied with a different task; Unknown to the Autobots, but Scorponok's EVIL ROLLER, in the form of the semi-autonomous Fasttrack, is ranging far and wide to scout the crags for signs of intruders. The six-wheeled buggy-like vehicle comes upon the Autobots hiding in the hills, and quickly transforms to it's simple and nearly defenseless robot mode. The drone opens fire upon the Autobots, before scamering away. Meanwhile, Scorponok chuckles, and he bides his time at the foot of the bridge, knowing that the Autobots will soon be coming to him. Combat: Scorponok strikes Grimlock with his Fasttrack's twin laser blasters (Laser) attack! Panavia Tornado GR1 Fighter Jet transforms to his jet mode, and flies to the east towards the Autobots. He spots the large stuppid dinosuar first, but this sensors focus on the smaller purple target. "Impactor! You back for another beating?" The powermaster luaghs as he fires on the wrecker and ex-warden. Combat: Panavia Tornado GR1 Fighter Jet strikes Drill Tank with his Electro-Kinetic Blasters attack! "Maybe. But -US- fly too. Uuuh, some do. Me Grimlock think us just go 'round and- AGH!" And Grimlock gets lasered in the back! He growls, then wheels around- at which point he lunges for Fasttrack, attempting to bring his massive foot down on the little bugger! Maybe Grimlock remembers how one component can feel the pain of another in a linked system. Or maybe Grimlock doesn't care, and just likes smashing things? "Me Grimlock wuz almost bored!" Combat: Scorponok uses up a charge on his Fasttrack booster pack! Combat: Automatically deactivating booster pack Fasttrack Combat: Grimlock strikes Scorponok with his STOMP (Kick) attack! Combat: You took 8 damage. "Some? More like a handful boss. Hey, what's that nois..gah!" Impactor lets out as he's attacked by the former prisoner. Singe marks now adorn his chest plate, as the Wrecker Leader gets back to his feet and stumbles down from their 'cover'. "That depends, who's gonna help ya this time?" he jests, even though the effects of that last attack plague him. Right or not, Mr. Purple-pants fires off some laser blasts at one of the two Darkwings he sees. Combat: Drill Tank 's Pew X2! attack on Panavia Tornado GR1 Fighter Jet goes wild! Combat: Drill Tank misses Grimlock with his Pew X2! (Disruptor) attack! That part of Scorponok's mind that is controlling Fasttrack can do little except watch as Grimlock's massive foot comes crashing down, and then the video feed abruptly cuts out as Fasttrack is mercilessly ground into pieces. Scorponok's features contort as the shock runs through his system, but it is a small price to pay, and Fasttrack can be rebuilt. it is now time for Scorponok to join the fray, and the huge Headmaster commander leaps into the air, ponderously hovering towards the location of the Autobot interlopers. "HIDING, GRIMLOCK? Afraid to come and face me directly, perhaps? Thwn allow ME to come to YOU!" He bellows, and he opens fire upon the Dinobot with his fusion-powered antigravity rifle, firing a concentrated pulse of energy to rip Grimlock apart with repulsive force! Combat: Scorponok sets his defense level to Fearless. Combat: Scorponok strikes Grimlock with his Anti-Gravity Fusion Cannon attack! [Pulled -4] Panavia Tornado GR1 Fighter Jet says, "No one shall help me, just as no one will help you. Skorponok will keep your primative friend busy while I once again pound you into submission." Darkwing exclaims as he opens fire again, being locked away for four million years gives one alot of agreesion to work through; and he was planing to concreatte much of that on one of his former tormentors." Combat: Panavia Tornado GR1 Fighter Jet misses Drill Tank with his Disruptor attack! "Argh!" Grimlock is flung backwards by the force of Scorponok's attack! He tumbles backwards beneath that mighty beam- only to soon get back to his feet- for the mighty Grimlock is not easily defeated! "Me Grimlock not one who send drone thingie for fighting first!" he snarls, and then transforms to his dinosaur mode, breathing forth a gout of superheated flame at the headmaster! With a grunt and a growl, Grimlock changes into a robot T-rex! Watch out. Combat: Robot T-Rex! strikes Scorponok with his Fire Breath attack! Combat: You took 9 damage. "Once again? I think yer missin' a gear or two Darkwing, might be from cryin' in tha dark with yer buddy." Impactor retorts, lining up a shot with the harpoon attachment. For some reason or another, the Wrecker loves to skewer the Decepticon fliers with the weapon and drag them down to the ground ... to deliver a face to face beatdown. "Please make sure yer tray is in the upright and locked position, next stop..." The harpoon shoots out of Impactor's wrist, the rip-line making a *zing* sound as it unravels through the air. "...Ground!" Combat: Drill Tank sets his defense level to Fearless. The Drill Tank shifts and transforms, revealing the Wrecker leader Impactor! Combat: Impactor misses Panavia Tornado GR1 Fighter Jet with his Abrupt Landing attack! [Pulled -1] Scorponok'as tall frame is bathed in flames, heating his purple an green armor until it glows with ruddy light of it's own; The Headmaster stands his ground though, continuing to close the distance between himself and the giant armor-plated dinosaur; He then transforms as well, becoming a giant scorpion with clattering arachnid legs and giant head-crushing claws. "No matter. I have you NOW, Grimlock!" The scorpion says, and it lunges towards the robot t-rex, in a clash of titanic proportions! Scorponok folds up to become a terrifying scorpion! Combat: Giant Scorpion strikes Robot T-Rex! with his Pincer Movement attack! Combat: That attack has temporarily impaired Robot T-Rex! 's Agility. (Crippled) Panavia Tornado GR1 Fighter Jet luaghs as he dodges the harpoon with a barrel roll. "Your gonna have to do better then that, but since you asked so nicely I will join you on the ground." The Aerospace XO replies as he transforms to robot mode and flies downwards toward the wrecker, fist first. With the sound ot turnign gears ans shifting metal, Darkwing changes into his ever blue robot mode. Combat: Darkwing strikes Impactor with his Silent Killer attack! Combat: That attack has temporarily impaired Impactor's Agility. (Crippled) Impactor is struck with the fist, but manages to shrug off most of the damage in a few astro-seconds. "Oh, how delightful ... ya decided ta come down and face me like a real mech?" he laughs, taking a step backward and cutting the rip-line off from the wrist. Without lauding his opponent with anymore taunts, the Wrecker Leader charges forward. Combat: Impactor strikes Darkwing with his 1-2 Combo (Punch) attack! Robot T-Rex! snarls! The only thing missing now is a cheesy soundtrack and some cardboard buildings! Grimlock is caught by Scorponok's pinchers- but even as his own armor buckles beneath the crushing grip, Grimlock lashes back in turn! Bracing his feet on the ground, Grimlock's jaws lash out, attempting to *CHOMP!* down on Scorponok's arm! And then again- and again, and again! It's like an insectivore buffet! Combat: Robot T-Rex! sets his defense level to Neutral. Combat: Robot T-Rex! strikes Giant Scorpion with his Dino Crush attack! Combat: You took 17 damage. Darkwing chuckles softly as the blows land and knock him backwards slightly. "You used to hit harder then that. Your getting soft, old mech." Darkwing taunts and rushes towards the Wrecker. There were few things in this cold, dark Universe that made Darkwing feel good; and one of those was wrecking Wreckers. Combat: Darkwing strikes Impactor with his Ram attack! One of Scorponok's arms is caught in the vice-like grip of Grimlock's jaws, even as his other pincer continues to pin the giant dinosaur in place, as Scorponok prepares his next assault. "You may as well give up now, Grimlock! you and your pathetic accomplice will be CRUSHED, and your remains thrown into the trenches!" The scorpion cries with a clack of his pincers, and he lashes out to stab the dinosaur with it's deadly tail! Combat: Temporarily restricting the CRIPPLE effect from all of your attacks. Combat: Giant Scorpion strikes Robot T-Rex! with his stinger attack! [Pulled -3] Robot T-Rex! growls! The stinger punches into Grimlock's armor- but this Dinobot is not one to be stopped! And so, Grimlock struggles against that pincher- finally transforming, using the sudden burst of movement to slip free! And for once, Grimlock does something quite alien to him- he goes...on the defensive! Taking to the sky, Grimlock backpedals- at which point he brings out his Galaxial Rocket launcher, snapping the rocket off as he falls back! "Me Grimlock say you talk too much!" There's a flurry of moving parts, and Grimlock changes to his robot mode! Combat: Grimlock sets his defense level to Guarded. Combat: Grimlock strikes Giant Scorpion with his Galaxial Rocket Launcher attack! Combat: You took 10 damage. Combat: Grimlock's attack has damaged your Strength! Impactor is staggered back by the attack, but shakes the feeling quickly. "Yeah, figured I'd take it easy on ya ... wouldn't want ya cryin' to tha others that I handed ya yer tailpipe!" the Wrecker jests, charging forward once again. This time however, he jumps in the air to tackle Darkwing to the ground. If successful, he'll deliver a couple of UFC strikes to the Decepticon's faceplate. Combat: Impactor strikes Darkwing with his Ground 'n Pound attack! The rocket bursts against Scorponok's armor in a flare of roiling flame and piercing shrapnel. The many-legged scorpion writhes and smolders, but he is far from defeated. As Grimlock moves to the defensive, Scorponok continues to press his assault. He transform to his robot mode, and follows Grimlock into the air. "At least I am /capable/ of proper speech, Dinobot!" He bellows, and lunges at Grimlock, trying to grasp the Dinobot's supposedly empty head with one of his huge claws. Combat: Removed restrictions on CRIPPLE for your attacks. Scorponok assumes his towering robot mode! Combat: Scorponok strikes Grimlock with his I'm Crushing Your Head attack! Combat: That attack has temporarily impaired Grimlock's Agility. (Crippled) You receive a radio message from Darkwing: Shuld I still lead this idiot to the Bridge? You send a radio message to Darkwing: If he is foolish enough to follow, then by all means, proceed! Darkwing falls to the ground as Impactor punches him in the face several times, one of which cracks his purple visor. Knocking the Wrecker away, Darkwing gets to his feat, and wipes the oil from his face. "That was slightly better. But I feel we need to draw this away from our larger friends. I'm sure you wouldn't want a stray hit from one of them undermining your 'victory' against me." He taunts as he takes to the skies and tries to lead the Wrecker over to the bridge as he takes a moment to recharge. Combat: Darkwing takes extra time to steady himself. [Pass] Combat: Darkwing uses up a charge on his High-Throttle Energy Drink booster pack! Grimlock no doubt would have more things to say (improperly) to Scorponok- but there's a claw over his head! Oh dear. Grimlock's feet kick and dangle for a few moments in the air- though the Dinobot soon lashes out in turn- mirroring Scorponok's blow! It's almost comical, really- then again, Grimlock's not in much of a position to laugh! Combat: Scorponok uses up a charge on his Fasttrack booster pack! Combat: Automatically deactivating booster pack Fasttrack Combat: Grimlock strikes Scorponok with his I'm crushing your Headmaster! (Punch) attack! Combat: You took 6 damage. Combat: Grimlock's attack has damaged your Agility! Impactor breaks away from the strangle, his fists still held in front of his chromedome. "I don't see tha point, last time one of yer Seeker buddies was helpin' ya ... and ya still took tha credit!" he laughs, targetting Darkwing with his shoulder mounted cannon. Instead of releasing a charge shot however, the Wrecker collects some information on the fly about his former charge. Combat: Impactor sets his defense level to Protected. Combat: Impactor analyzes Darkwing for weaknesses. Darkwing says, "Yeah, but being an Autobot and Wrecker you should have some pride; and want to beat your foe without help from Dinobrains missing or simply forgetting who he's supposed to be attacking. Or are you simply scared to fight without his power to back up your fraility?" he replies as he leans agianst the side of the bridge. "I'll even make it easy for you like last time and stand still."" Combat: Darkwing takes extra time to steady himself. [Pass] The punch connects with Scorponok's face, shattering his protective visor, cracking his jaw, and sending the Headmaster reeling. Zarak is safely protected under thick layers of armor, but he is also still a relatively frail old man. "I grow weary of your resistance, Grimlock! There is no place for your primitive kind on Cybertron, nor anywhere!" Scorponok bellows, swinging up his huge anti-gravity gun once again, a deadly rifle larger than many Transformers, and fire another thunderous fusion-powered blast at the Dinobot leader. Combat: Scorponok strikes Grimlock with his Anti-Gravity Fusion Cannon attack! Grimlock drops to the ground, landing in a ready stance- only to get smacked full-on by Scorponok's fusion blaster! Again, the dinocommander is thrown backwards once again- soon clattering out of sight like a discarded bit of debris! 'twould seem Scorponok has won!...today, at least. Combat: Grimlock begins retreating, leaving himself vulnerable to parting shots from Darkwing, Impactor, and Scorponok Impactor fires off a shot from the cannon, super heated plasma propelled through the air at his target. Then and only then does the Wrecker notice that Grimlock is bugging out, and he kicks himself for not paying closer attention. "Aww crap." Combat: Impactor sets his defense level to Fearless. Combat: Impactor strikes Darkwing with his Shoulder Cannon attack! Scorponok brandishes a claw menacingly at Grimlock's falling form, and tosses back his head to cackle triumphantly. "DEFEATED once again, Grimlock!" Scorponok chuckles, injured, but victorious. Now, if only Darkwing were as effective... The Headmaster commander lowers himself to the bridge, standing behind the Powermaster jet and his nebulon partner. Scorponok glowers at Impactor, but takes no further action, waitying to see if the old Wrecker is brave enough to continue. "Darkwing, you shall have the pleasure of finishing him off... But should you fail, the consequences will be /dire/." Combat: Scorponok sets his defense level to Protected. Combat: Scorponok inspires Darkwing with overbearing and threatening words! Darkwing falls back as the plasma hits dead on, melting away from of his armor. "That was annoying... Now I'm goign to have to deal with those annoying medics for the rest of the day as they replace my armor." He grumbles and looks to Scorponok. "Yeah, I wouldn't have it any other way. I always hate it when people interfer when I fight Wreckers." He repliease and then returns fire on Impactor. Across the Istoral Chasm lies a strange looking sight. The only crossing for miles, this shaky bridge is buffeted from side to side by the winds. Worryingly the entrance is a large, crude painting of Galvatron's face, with a hole cut for the open mouth. This open mouth leads onto the shaky bridge itself. Even more worryingly, in the middle of the bridge is a small turbo-rabbit, which trembles with wide-open eyes, looking all cute and scared. Impactor is blasted backwards by the attack, it's ever familiar effects resounding. "Argh, you've gotta be kiddin' me! Whelp, looks like playtime is over Emocon ... we'll have ta wrap this up 'nother time." the Wrecker Leader begrudgingly lets out, fully believing he'd be able to whip out a marginal victory here. But at what cost? Ah, the downside of a conscience. So he transforms and burrows swiftly into the ground, trying to put distance between himself and the Decepticons. Combat: Impactor sets his defense level to Protected. Folding down upon himself, Impactor transforms back into his Drill Tank mode. Combat: Drill Tank begins retreating, outrunning all pursuit. Scorponok holds his huge arms across his chest, difficult considering his massive claws. "You have performed... Adequetly, Darkwing." Scorponok muses, as he watches Impactor dig himself towards freedom. High praise from Scorponok. He hen turns his back upon the bridge, to limp back to base for repairs. Impactor slips on a pair of brass knuckles with letters embossed on them, punching you in the forehead! He then saunters off gruffing about 'Wily Old Buzzards'. If you look into a mirror, it reads 'Thanks For Coming Out!' ... only all backwards and stuff, cuz Wreckers aren't that bright. Darkwing nods to Scoponok. "Of course, I am not Dreadwind afterall," Darkwing replies. "I tend to get the job done, regardless how I feel. I'm just annoyed that Impactor ran away so quickly, but then he's always been more bluff then action."
  • A Bridge Too Far is a 1977 World War II war film based on Cornelius Ryan's best-selling book. It tells the story of Operation Market Garden, an audacious, but flawed - and ultimately unsuccessful - plan to to use British, American and Polish paratroops and British armoured divisions to capture four bridges in the Netherlands in order to cut a path into Nazi Germany with the hope of ending the war before Christmas. It has an All-Star Cast, was written by William Goldman, and was directed by Richard Attenborough. In addition to the all star cast, it also might qualify as the biggest all realism movie, as the producers went to great lengths (and money) to gather old vehicles and equipment, including 11 Douglas C-47 Skytrain (Dakota) WWII aircraft, along with getting NATO troops with the old fashioned parachutes jumping out of them for the film. It was also the first war film in which actors were put through boot camp prior to filming. The film cost $22 million in 1977. Compare that with Star Wars which also came out in 1977 and cost $10 million.
  • A Bridge Too Far, more commonly known to fans as the noob bridge or n00b bridge, is a famous room in Brinstar in Super Metroid. The bridge consists of Pit Blocks, and can not easily be crossed without using the dash button for speed. Barring sequence breaking, it is the first place in the game where the dash button is required to progress (as intended by the developers). Many new players have found themselves unable to figure this out; hence the fan name "n00b bridge". There are a few ways to cross the bridge without the dash button. On PAL, it is possible to roll across the entire bridge without using the Mockball, although it requires several tries if one is not experienced with the technique. This is due to Samus being sped up to account for the PAL convention of 50 frames per second. The other method is to jump repeatedly across the bridge, though this is both difficult and quite dangerous to pull off because of the very strict timing and the spikes directly above. Both of these tricks are significantly harder than simply dashing across the bridge, however. The only occurrence of the bridge's name is in dream readings by Ariadne Yuko. The Green Door on the right side of the room leads to the Red Tower, while the Blue Door on the left leads to more of Brinstar, but it cannot be accessed due to the presence of a Blue Shutter in the other room.
  • Silence filled a ghastly underground room with a chandelier of a single light bulb illuminating the room with light. Four shinobi faced each other in a square-like system; as two faced each other and the other two faced each other, each with a ram handseal. "Yep... That's it... I can't feel his signature..." the brown-haired woman broke the silence, a drop of a tears emanating from her left eye. From the dark part of the room stood twenty shinobi, dressed in the attire of Yumegakure, each trained to perfect their skills. Their stance was the same as they stepped closer, creating a circle around the four shinobi, whilst still focused on the middle of the square created by the latter. The four members of Zenith took simultaneous step backwards, until being the equivalent distance from the middle along with the other twenty shinobi. They all kneeled down, with the exception of the four, and removed scrolls, unwrapping them on the ground. Once that was done, the four leaders of this establishment made simultaneous handseals, before slamming their right hands downwards simultaneously. "Combined Summoning Jutsu!" all four yelled in unison. Due to their flawless mastery over this technique, adding the fact that it was assisted by twenty skilled shinobi, it allowed them to summon people or objects from literally anywhere without contracts, breaking the laws and boundaries of space-time. After a brief puff of smoke, a corpse rested in the middle. Blood dripped from it's mouth and several joints. Fukkatsu ran to the battered corpse of the bullet of the leaf, grasping and holding tightly to his head as she sobbed. Reikon and Takeya mantained their emotions, as the beautiful Uchiha fixated his eyes on the ground. "Uhm... Fukkatsu..." Reikon tried to speak to the woman. "WHAT!" was a cold response which she could conjure. Ignoring the tone, he spoke with confidence, as he was infront of his subjects. "I can... I can bring him back..." Those words deemed themselves to be the light in her broken, devoid heart as she rose, letting go of the corpse of Gekihen. Taking a few steps backwards, she folded her arms, awaiting what's to come. Reikon stepped closer, raising his left hand upwards with two fingers pointing upwards, and one of the twenty shinobi came closer, already having knowledge of what comes next. "You're gonna be remembered for your sacrifice, I assure you..." Reikon spoke to the shinobi as he lyed down on his back besides the corpse. Changing to his spirit form, Reikon weaved a few handseals before placing his hands on both the man and the corpse's chest. "Cycle of Life Seal" the man yelled as light emanated from both the men on the ground. The injuries inflicted upon Gekihen, were now occuring within the shinobi as he died, with Gekihen's wounds disappearing. The bullet of Konoha opened his eyes to see the shinobi around them, when he looked at himself, he saw no sign of his beast, with the only chakra of the Nanabi being the one sealed within his student for later purposes. The bullet clenched his fist in anger, before he was covered by a warm hug from Fukkatsu. "Gekihen... I thought you were a goner..." the woman spoke, her usual serious and deceptive demenour broken by her love for Gekihen. The sight of this made Gekihen's heart rate, "wow... That smile... Genuine tears... I've never seen this side of her." the man spoke, his eyes wide open and his mouth gaping. Forcing himself to be calm, he stood up, turning to Reikon. "Thank you... It is good to see that my own ideals and life is held with such value by you, Reikon." Gekihen spoke calmly, as Reikon merely smiled and nodded. "Yes, Gekihen-sama" the Faint Spirit spoke, having returned to his body. "Guess it's back to square one..." Takeya spoke, releasing a loud sigh. "They'll pay for this...!" Tsukihime loudly spoke, and Gekihen looked at her, "No. Let's ignore these events... Revenge is a dish best served cold, and what better way than abducting the Eight-Tails so they can never hope to truly accomplish their goal, which I assume is collecting all Nine Beasts or their Chakra." Gekihen spoke calmly. Walking towards the exit, he was surprise to see that he could not see from the other side with his eyes. Seeing his confused face, Tsukihime divulged the information to the Zenith. "There is a seal placed, and it was not for you... We have a new member." she spoke with her bored tone, casually walking towards the exit as the 19 shinobi remained, waiting for their leaders to exit, as a sign of respect. "Is that so..." Gekihen inquired, speaking with a smug grin in his visage, pondering what's to come. "It is I, Shikizaki" Shikizaki walked out from the darkness, viewing Gekihen with interest. Seeing his haggard state, broken attire, and the remnants of tears on some of their faces, he quickly concluded that Gekihen was heavily injured before, or had potentially been dead. "So I see you guys have had a rough time, and from what little I have heard, you guys seek the Tailed Beasts, am I correct?" Shikizaki mused to himself, already knowing the answer. Meanwhile, everyone could sense the literal Tailed Beast level reserves coming off from Shikizaki, a testament to his reserves. "Well I believe I could help with that, but before anything can be done..." Shikizaki emitted Chakra from the Stone of Life (which everyone couldn't see nor sense, and could only assume it came from Shikizaki's chakra prowess), "We need to patch you back to shape, Leader Gekihen" Shikizaki spoke, subservient as per the honour of Mercenaries. While the damage done had been healed, Shikizaki could feel that Gekihen's strength was still... lacking in ways. Shikizaki joined the group for a few monetary benefits, as well as an interest in expanding his contact with the outside world, and from what he saw, this was definitely going to be interesting.
