“The Western Gods are out to destroy us. They have convinced the West to assemble an army and plan to strike tomorrow. We must respond. All men and women will fight. Defend the temple at all costs. Prove your faith to us one last time and you shall be handsomely rewarded.” Shea still remembered the exchange between the Gods and his people vividly. He had fought valiantly but alas was captured by the West and held captive in their temple prison. It seemed like he was waiting for his end to come when 4 bright figures appeared in a sudden flash of light. “The Ice Blaster uses lasers on high pressure gas; where photons collide with the molecules and removes their electrons, causing the gas to cool, lowering temperatures by thousands of degrees in seconds. Kinda chilly eh?” Shea picked up the next weapon. “Now this is my favourite! It’s called the Midnight Pulse (MP). Basically it works like a mini black hole, sucking everything you point at into a vacuum pouch located within the gun. Use this only as a last resort.” All this Arya recited mentally as she crouched in a corner of the room. She was trapped and had only one way to escape. She clutched at the Ice Blaster tightly. The humanoid was catching up with her. The tracking device on it could identify and …show more content…
Humans have grown to rely on them increasingly. Whenever they faced a problem, all they had to do was to look it up on the internet or turn to their beloved machines. None of them even spared us a single thought. They were beginning to lose faith in us. Lesser temples were being erected and sacrifices being made. Eventually existing temples will be demolished for new research centers. The Gods are slowly dying out. So we have instigated a war where humans will destroy one another. Annihilate the unfaithful; destroy those damned technology and stop science from progressing. Only those loyal to us will survive. And you will be one of them Shea. Let us rebuild the world
I finally grab the hilt impaled on a stone tablet. It doesn't come off easily as I was hoping the I could take it and run. The heat is slightly burning me once more similar to when I first entered the chamber. I use both my arms and position them to the two sides of the swords' guard, pulling the sword up using my legs to improve my strength. It budges.
The “Rap-Back” Of Tech In the two stories, “Harrison Bergeron”, and “By The Waters Of Babylon”, the world is “destroyed”, or “remade”, after a technological “break-down”. Tech can very easily lead us to our own imminent demise, none the less it’s own, but usually, it may only do so with our allowing it.
2 seconds later, Flasher then comes and goes to the crash. When he got to the crash, he then sees that there was a bomb inside the spaceship. The bomb had a timer until it exploded. Flasher told everyone to evacuate immediately.
People in their society and even now for that matter have become so addicted to technology and to the chase that they don’t pay that much attention to what’s going on around them. This has become a major problem such as people have turned into nontalking people that don’t associate with people who don’t care or think and that don’t voice their own opinion or perspective on things. An example of technology as a distraction is we don’t understand each other as we think we do and part of that we have all these distractions. Such as, emailing, texting, or talking online. We all get easily distracted and misunderstand what others may be saying.
The Iceman, one of our first ancestors, lived a very advanced life for that time period and was murdered because of an occurring war. Suzie Q, an intern at the Louisiana Laboratory, brings to our attention that the 25th anniversary of the Iceman discovery is just around the corner. To remember the day the Iceman was found, three authentic artifacts will be displayed at the Museum of Ancestral History. It is mandatory that all students visit the museum and view all of the artifacts by the date the Iceman was discovered, September 19th. The Iceman was found in the year 1991, 10,000 feet high in the Italian Alps.

Frozen, stiff, mummified and looking very much like honey-soy chicken pieces. So no, it 's not barbequed food and definitely not chicken but a body of a man found high up in the Italian Alps; Mount Otzal. The discovered body, named Otzi, has been classically called: The Iceman. Originally when the mountaineers found him in 1991, they thought he was a missing hiker but to their delight, they had just stumbled across a remarkable historical find.

Jon Spoelestra’s Ice to the Eskimos was very interesting and informative. Throughout the entire book, Spoelestra reflected upon the experiences and knowledge that he gained from working in the sports industry. One interesting aspect of the book was Spoelestra’s principle that organizations should design “an offer that consumers cannot refuse” (Spoelestra, 1997, p. 199). This was particularly interesting to me because of my interest in finance. Initially, I thought that if you make an offer too good, that you could potentially be losing out on some profit, however, after reading this book, this principle makes perfect sense.
To fire, a small stud on the bottom of the weapon was pressed with the index finger” (Kelly). These phasers, however, served only in diplomatic or low-risk missions, they would not be used in more pressing circumstances until The Next
Adara is a young girl born in a long and cold winter. A winter rumoured to be the coldest anyone has ever experienced and one where the Ice Dragon came forth. Adara is portrayed to be both thoughtful and compassionate which is demonstrated through her worries of hurting the ice creatures. When handling the ice lizards Adara believes the others to be ‘clumsy and cruel’, not taking care and thus snapping ’the fragile little creatures in two’. This is a pure demonstration of Adara’s compassion and thoughtfulness however, at the beginning of the story the author implies the idea of Adara to be cold, having correlation with the weather which surrounded her birth.
The nuclear weapon featured at the end of the film is unexpected. During the film one of the main questions is what is inside the secret box everyone wants hold of? When opened by Mike when he finds in it’s in the locker and he burns his wrist, it just adds to the question and confuses the viewer more. When opened fully by Lilly in the last few scenes, we see that whatever was in the box is nuclear and has the power to cause a lot of damage.
Prologue The Barren Hope of a Shaman Mardoc “You will not save them all,” Its mentor had once said. “If you save one, rejoice in them as I have in you.”
Joseph Amida lay upon the ground, his black hair blowing gently in the wind. His multicolored eyes displayed utmost peace and tranquility. He lazily wore a kimono, so that half of his well toned chest was displayed. His skin was of a pale color, and his face would drive women mad. He stood at a rather tall height of 6"3 ', and unconsciously gave off the feeling that anything near him would be cut into non-existence.
