Standing Orders (how to defend Earth)

[Halo]

let me think we saved the asgard how many times...we fixed the time device...we stopped the attack on their home world with carter's "dumb idea, we developed the disrupter technology(well jack did, but he's tauri!) and some other stuff...so ya id say the owe us
the upgrades on the deddy are a favor so it can only get better right???right...?

[_Owen_]

The upgrades that they have given us on our ships are like the door prize, we haven't even gotten to the cake yet!

wouldnt home usable beams be cool, you would never have to get up to get the remote!!!!!!!

[_Owen_]

lol, that would be fun, you would never even have to move at all!

id like to see a moon base where the sgc could store a fleet of bc303s or batteries of either A.ion cannons that are modified or B. good ol missle batteries

Stuff that! Lets just put big engines on the moon, then fly the moon into enemy spaceships!

[Neutschi]

Just build some big ass guns , couple of shields , moon base and a fleet of 303

maybe an emergency button in the sgc that directly contacts thor

[_Owen_]

There would be one little problem, all of the tidal flows would be altered.

that could destroy all life on earth...

[_Owen_]

It is possible, but is would at least alter tides, possibly causing continents to be absorb by oceans. So yes, it would be a problem. Unless you replaced it with an object that has an equal effect on the Earth, but then a flying moon might be a little visible by people on Earth.

why isnt thor on speed dial!

I don't know, we should just install interstellar comunications devices in thors head and then in our heads, then whenever we need them, we can call them, and they can't use that excuse, "Ya, umm, we'll be there in a couple days, we are trying to kill some replicators."

That would take all the fun out of it! Plus then people would start to wonder why it is that the Asgard, a race THOUSANDS of years beyond us, don't have things like that already. Think about it, why should a race as intelligent as the Asgard have little buttons on the doors they must press to activate them? The whole stone moving thing is completely anachronistic! It would be like Intel building an new Pentium chip and opting to go with vacuum tubes as opposed to transistors! Even biologically the Asgard seem to favor the intellectual approach to things, as proven by thier huge heads and spindly arms. And another thing, the huge ships. Its clear that no Asgard built them by hand (unless some of them have massive cloned bodies for that task alone), they needed some technology, whether thats getting a computer to simply materialize the design from a model stored in its memory banks, or coordinating an army of automated robotic construction vehicles. If the Asgard communications are as good as they seem, why for that matter do they actually have to be onboard the ships? Couldn't they just use remote control (causality I know, but subspace communications don't apply)?

[_Owen_]

Lol, it is like the Family Guy episode with the big robot fish, the fisherman gives Peter 50 000 dollars, and Peter asks why, and the fisherman says, so they don't talk, and also to get them out of there before people start to wonder how a fisherman with no prior knowledge of robotics could build a sophisticated talking fish. lol.

You are right, the Asgard as such an advanced race, have the capabilities to "wire" several things into thier brains to achieve a neural control over them, but for some reason, they don't.
