Prologue Spectre “Another successful mission, aye, Mercury?” said Spectre knowing full well that the mission they just completed would be Mercury’s last one. “Like we’ve ever failed?” the arrogant swagger in Mercury’s walk and voice never failed to annoy Spectre, oh how happy I’ll be when you’re finally dead, Spectre thought to himself. As the two teenage soldiers walked back to the barracks, Spectre kept going over the plan in his head, as soon as he takes off his armor, I’ll slit his throat, or perhaps drive a sword through his heart. Spectre knew he could not fail, for these orders were straight from Lion himself. “Hear any news about the rebels?” Mercury’s voice snapped Spectre back to reality, almost startling him. “No, I haven’t” Spectre said nervously, anxious about the murder he would …show more content…
They had both just arrived back at the capital after being sent away on Wraith’s orders to put down a small uprising in a nearby city. These have been happening more and more recently since the appearance of The Red Tide, a resistance group in the eyes of some, a terrorist group in the eyes of others. Luckily they could end the uprising with no casualties. There was a fear of people like Spectre and Mercury, they could do things… inhuman. Some believe them to be demons, others believe
Pako and "V" was on the phone, "V" the youngest was all excited. Theo always wanted to have bloods in his hand, make Scar and his uncle Gatto proud. Gatto was always defensive towards Theo, never let him do such stuff, but time has changed, Theo is grown man now. War was started between us and Crips. We had to answer back what they did to our
Almost twenty minutes had passed since Epsilon, Sabra and Malessica left the pub. Malessica was a bit upset thinking about innocent people who were hurt during the attack on the pub. Though she knew she didn’t have time to help the injured, she decided to try and forget about it, continuing to follow Epsilon. Malessica noticed Sabra, seemed a bit lost in thought, but she didn’t say a word. Moving towards an unknown destination, four police cars sped down the street past them, with sirens blaring. Malessica put her hands on her hood, covering her ears, waiting for the cars to pass them. Epsilon turned his head back, watching the police cars. He was upset knowing he wouldn’t be able to work there again.
Red tide is a very serious issue that severely affects the West Coast of Florida. Red tide is defined as a toxic bloom in red dinoflagellates. It has major impacts on its surroundings. Algal species that have harmful effects are commonly referred to as Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs). Toxic red tide is threatening tourism in West Florida as well as wildlife, specifically the endangered manatees as it extends down the Florida coast. When conditions are right, dinoflagellates will bloom in very large numbers. Red tides name comes from the color that the blooms give the water when there are high concentrations of algae. Don Anderson, a senior scientist at the Woods
He didn’t know what could bring his brother to betray him like this. Most of the city’s defense and citizens were held up in a hospital. Paper guards armed with paper clips were defending the hospital and were led by encre. In a few hours an attack on the hospital had been staged by the rebellion. “Brothers and sisters,” said Encre. ”We should not have to treat these mongrels the same as us.” With a roar the rebellion charged towards the hospital.
I opened the door to the main deck, the sounds of gunshots near and far. The smell of gunpowder filled my lungs and I found it hard to breathe. I always did. The endless waves of people, coming to face their slaughter, both sides never winning but always losing as the days drew shorter. As the sunset began we knew all our fighting would come to an end as others would take over, for tomorrow at sunrise we would start again. But for now we had about an hour left, “solider come here and help me with this ammunition” it was Sergeant Kirk, he has a fierce reputation on our ship the HMAS Sydney. I hurried over to help him move ammunition under the deck, and then rushed back to my station to meet up with Ryan, a small bloke with black hair, bit of stubble and an olive tan. We both come from the same city and we met on board the ship. We were in charge of the flak cannon on the port side of the ship. A
Within each zone, alterations in physical features of the landscape can blur zonation patterns (Graham & Wilcox, 2000; Stephenson & Stephenson, 1949; 1937; Lipkin, 1971; McQuaid & Branch, 1984). Additionally, between each zone there is a “fringe” zone where species from each zone can persist in small numbers before reaching their range limit (the “supralittoral fringe” and the “infralittoral fringe”) (Stephenson & Stephenson, 1949). Boulders, crevices, and tide pools all create microhabitats within the zones (Graham & Wilcox, 2000; Stephenson & Stephenson, 1949; Lartigue, 2003; Bolton & Anderson, 1990; Underwood, 2000). The presence of these features can alter the effects of abiotic factors such as light availability, salinity, and wave
The definition of excellent leadership is the process of social influence that increases the efforts of others toward the achievement of a greater good. In the book, Lord of the Flies by William Golding, the author introduced us to Ralph and Jack, two boys fighting over leadership. Some may say that Jack would be a better leader. However, Ralph shows leadership qualities that prove that he is a better leader than Jack such as respect, maturity, and productivity.
Imagine yourself being a Hebrew during the time of Moses and crossing the Red Sea while more than six hundred Egyptian soldiers run after you. You would have no time to think but by previous knowledge you are aware of the depth of the ocean, in this case the soldiers would have caught up to you by now since they were at an advantage because of the speed they had with their horses and chariots once they were at downfall. Regardless of the advantage that the Egyptians had, by some miracle you make it across and the rest of the army is drowned with vigor. The ocean as ancient as the time of the dinosaurs is millions of miles in depth and millions of miles in width and length, if such a miracle would not have ocurred
People think that its YouTube’s fault that people are getting hurt or sick from stunts and internet challenges. Yeah I’m looking at you Tide Pods. But its not their fault. People are just doing it for fame. So here are some reasons that it’s not Youtube’s fault.
This red tide outbreak affects anyone and everyone who enjoys a day at the beach as well as Florida's marine life. If severe enough, it may negatively impact tourism in the area, thus denting Florida's tourist-dependent economy. In addition to targeting the local tourism industry, the seafood industry may suffer as well, as fish caught during red tide are typically inedible. If eaten, the infected organisms can pass along illnesses to those who consume them. As far as sewage exasperating the problem, it is important for the companies responsible to recognize and solve the issue, finding alternate ways to dispose of wastes.
Red tide or Karenia brevis, is a single celled eukaryotic organism that appears in a bloom off the west coast of Florida. These dinoflagellates produce a toxin known as brevetoxins, which at high concentrations can cause severe harm to marine and human life. Human activity is thought to be bringing about a higher frequency and concentration of the algae blooms by nutrient run off and from ships traveling through the tide. The algae is very fragile so when it is disturbed by crashing waves or by the hull of boats is causes the brevetoxins to become an aerosol. This is when it presents a problem to humans because the brevetoxins can cause respiratory infections. (Kirpatrick et al 2004; Fleming et al 2005).
Max and Sarah had only been out of diapers for twelve months when they were taken in by the CIA. They'd never met their parents, and they honestly didn’t really want to anyway. Their parents never came to see them and they didn’t even bother to write them letters. For all they knew, their parents had forgotten about them. They finally became official spies eleven years later. But that was then, and this was now. It had been 30 years since that fateful day when they were given their badges. They used to be legends, but not anymore. They were getting tired of the life of a spy and all they wanted was to be alone, to start over a new life together, two best friends. "Max, do you agree to quit the spy life with me?" asked Sarah. "Yes, and do you, Sarah agree to quit the spy life with me?" asked Max. "I do"
“Time to go my brother,” said Shinkai as we were on the roof top. We’re doing a mission The B.O.S.S (that's us) are trying to stop the Chinese and German air lines because they are boarding American people and have bombs on the planes so now we’ve got to stop them. “Get your snipers and ziplines setup and ready just in case if they see us,” I shouted. It was going to be tough but our plan was foolproof so we were clear on that one.(and B.O.S.S means Brutal Official Se Society)”Sir they spotted us”said Carl.(the new member of the group his name's Carl he's pretty nice) “Let's move out men stick to the plan we can't lose anybody,” Ethan shouted. “Danny fire when ready,” Rayson told me.(we call him Ray instead of Rayson) “Get to the chopper Terminator classic” I shouted. “Danny we could use some missiles right now,” Matt said while hitting me in the head. “Yeah,yeah I’m on it,” I said sarcastically.
Constructed well over 2,000 years ago the Parthenon and its corresponding statues were built in dedication to the goddess Athena in the honorably named Athens. Through warfare and time itself little over half of all statues have survived to this day. Of those sculptures some reside in the Acropolis Museum in Athens and the rest are on display in the British Museum in London. While the validity of Britain’s legal attainment of these statues is debatable the lacking moral premise of such collection is undisputable. Britain simply cannot own therefore display that which is not theirs. When the Parthenon was built the structure held extreme religious value to the Athenians. The Athenians were a polytheistic society whom based
Courage shows strength, and a willingness to do what is right even though it may be hard. Although Harper Lee would define courage as taking one for the team and helping each other to get it done quicker. In TKM ways of courage are shown to demonstrate her meaning. I have chosen three examples of courage to explain from TKM“Atticus's hand yanked a ball-tipped lever as he brought the gun to his shoulder” (Lee 127). In chapter ten, Tom Johnson was on the loose. Tom Johnson is a dog but this this it was the dog we all wanted to see. As everyone saw him coming down the street his look shaky and out of place. He had rabies. Now most would just avoid the dog but in the story they can’t because, they don’t have medicine to cure people if they get
