I give you the BOOM chit:
http://www.printfection.com/ZeroWear/BOOM/_s_45580

Looking over the graphics, several of the DS chits might lend themselves to
design. What about the "Targeting failure" chit (or just the lightning symbol
by itself), or the "HEF" chit? "IMM"? "PANIC"?

Any votes?

Not a vote, but a comment that the bolt is pretty generic, and if on a red
shirt, would be The Flash...

Does anybody remember my submission of an ECC - 2000 logo? Each zero a
target recticle, one each for FT, SG, and DS? I was trying to dig it up, but
can only find the PSP version, and don't have a viewer at work...

Thanks, but I think I can dig it out from home; if I can't, I'll be sure to
get back to you, but I was more trying to suggest possibilities for other
images. I'll have to look at the books, but seems to me we're close to an
anniversary or two, where a zero/recticle could be worked into an icon.

Oh, as an aside, since I am so taken with the ANON GROPO attribution, may be
we can come up with the kind of thing a space jockey would sniff dismissively
about their dug in counterparts. Perhaps 'When you play in the mud...' for a
start.

Oooo....

'I wasn't suggesting they actually ARE beasts, or even think like beasts, but,
when you play in the mud...'

OK, vacheads, let's hear some other turgid observations!

While truly a vachead sentiment, just doesn't seem to have the proper
panache....

However, those who are planet-bound DO need to have things demonstrated
more simply, remembering that, yes, rocks fall, but how are they going to
learn if you've killed them?

Mind you, I've known some gropo NCO's with heads so thick, the best you can
expect is to stun them. Given their level of discourse, though, how can you
tell the difference?

Well, if their heads are that thick, maybe they'll survive the rock fall.
:-D  And learn the "head way".
