(brandon) Hello, all accessing this web page. That means you have an account! Congrats!
+
1) Atlantis city is surrounded by agriculture fields that supply food to the city center. Fields have access canals between and are submerged to different depths depending on the food grown there. (ex: the rice fields are partly submerged in the freshwater canals).
  
−
Now here's a little on how to work this page. The main article page is where most of the writing will take place, where the heroic story goes on. I'll add a new link to a new page when we need it for a new chapter. Here, this page, the discussion page, is where most if not all of the discussion will take place. Now, with a couple different people talking on the same page, its difficult to tell who's who. So, when you start typing, put your name in parentheses (these things () that are really cool like I just did) and then start typing whatever you wish to type.  
+
2) According to Plato, Poseidon received Atlantis as his share of the world. The island had tall cliffs that rose from the sea and the lands were rich and fertile. Every six years the king, his council, and the judges met in the temple of poseidon to discuss matters of great importance.
  
−
On this page is where we talk, about the plot, characters, and just anything in general. Another lesson.
+
3) Noah's Ark is an Atlantian ship that survived the comet and carried animals and people to safety.
  
−
NO INDENTING IS REQUIRED ON A WIKI. In order to start a new line, press enter twice. If you only press it once, then your line will seemingly start a line below in the edit format, but in the actual reading format it will appear as part of the original line.  
+
4) City of Jericho is surviving Atlantian town that had been rebuilt by Atlantian survivors. Atlantian survivors moved to Egypt, Crete, Thera, England, Canaan, etc.
  
−
That brings up something else. To edit this page, click on the little button that says edit next to the discussion button at the top of the bar once you are logged in.
+
5) Armadillo Mk. III, IV, and V have jet-ports wired to hardened points on the armor. These jets can assist the user's jumping height and distance, as well as cushion a landing, angle the direction of descent from a parachute, etc. The jets also can function to propel the user through and under water, and through space (Full-Helmet and vacuum-sealed joints required for space combat)
  
−
Simple, right?
+
6) Military uses V-22 Ospreys as main assault transport. Armament includes two pod-mounted swiveling 40mm nose cannon, a .50 cal repeater chin gun, and two pods of 4 rockets each.
  
−
Now, we'll probably be talking alot, so to make sure we don't crash the page with too many entries, I'll put up a new section whenever the previous one is getting full. To edit just one section instead of the entire page (recommended if you don't want to crash you machine) click on the edit button next to the section name, again once you are logged in.
+
7) XV-22 Ospreys (Spec-Ops) can be converted into mobile outposts for 20 soldiers, with two ARMs and a CGT plus extra equipment. Multiple Ospreys can be linked together to form a fully operational base. The more, the merrier. XV-22 Ospreys also equipped with an anti-material railgun in place of .50 cal chin gun.
  
−
Example:
+
8) Military designs sonic scramblers that repel dinosaurs or animals with a wave of extremely intense sonic frequencies. Scramblers installed in bases, V-22s, and most vehicles. Also has a sonar counterpart for use in water. Note that the scramblers do not kill or injure dinos, only irritate and repel. A determined or trained dinosaur can still attack, and frequencies are too high for all humans to hear, except for Echo and Orca squads.
  
−
==Section 1 (example section)==
+
9) Military uses packs of "Performance-Enhancing-Liquid" that functions as a combination painkiller, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, accelerated regenerative agent, similar to Fallout 3's "Stimpacks." Packs are injected through armor ports directly into the afflicted areas.
  
−
Alright.
+
10) Marine Shock Forces defend NYC in one chapter. They set up CGTs in intersections, use subway for troop transportation, Sniper and MG nests on roofs. They use hotels as bases, hotwire cars abandoned on the street, set up floating mines and air patrols in rivers and harbor, blow bridges and set razor wire on beaches.  
  
−
Just a few updated ideas that I randomly came up with over the course of a couple weeks or so. Feel free to laugh at any and all of them.
+
11) Europe unifies into he United States of Europe and has their own president, etc. UK not included in USE, but allied with USA.  
  
−
1) The crew (That's Scar, Holly, and Matt) each have specialized armor sets custom-tailored for different environments, such as one for Desert-ops, one for Arctic-weather-ops, and one for Space-ops (there will probably be a scene in some part of the book where at least one of the crew will be sent on a mission to the International Space Station, which I will determine later).
+
12) Atlantis Rising: Perfect War: Similar to Bioshock, main character is part of a Spec-Ops team transporting Putty material to USA safehouse/Research lab when they are shot down over Atlantian rain forest. Player starts out with MP7 SMG and Magnum, teams up with other survivors, finds helmet, and links up with survivors at the actual crash site (Player is sucked out the back without weapon or helmet and backup comm is busted.) The survivors use Putty to genetically enhance themselves and survive and get back to the nearest Allied outpost.  
  
−
The general-purpose assault armor has a hard, bullet-proof-ceramic plating shell on the torso, with similar pieces as upper arm guards, gauntlets, upper and lower leg guards, and helmet. The gauntlet has a slot that contains a medium-sized, potently lethal double-edged knife that can be ejected rapidly on a spring and then retracted with an internal mechanism (original idea comes from the PS3 game ''Assassin's Creed'') or pulled out and used manually.  
+
13) Armadillo Recon Armor has insulated gauntlets that can send an electric pulse to stun and incapacitate enemies.  
  
−
Helmet has integrated HUD (heads-up display), comm. system, Friend or Foe (FOF) monitor, and Global Access Command Board (GACB) that links the individual soldier to the rest of his/her squad, regiment, brigade, etc. and lists available air, ground, and Naval support options.  
+
14) China, Japan, and North Korea combine to form the Eastern Confederation, joined by the Pacific island countries around Japan.  
  
−
Also, the Warfighter Physiological Status Monitor Subsystem (WPSMS, which is an actual military technology) can monitor the vital signs of a soldier, such as blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature, hydration and stress levels, and workload capacity, as well as automatically notify Medics and Commanders if a soldier is wounded or fatigued. Furthermore, in the book (thanks to Dr. Stephens's handiwork) the WPSMS will have a built in Morphine (a potent pain-killer drug) injector and store a small bladder of other medications according to the combat conditions that can be fed into the soldier's bloodstream.  
+
15) Atlantis City is surrounded by agriculture fields that supply food to the city center. Fields have access canals between them and are submerged to different depths, depending on the type of food grown there.
  
−
The armor is comprised of multiple layers;
+
16) Standard infantry equipped with Mk. III, IV, or V Croc Tactical Battle Armor (Depending on the year of battle). Croc armor is comprised of an outer bullet-proof shell with Static-Impact-Gel layered in the middle that converts kinetic energy to thermal. Helmet includes integrated HUD, FOF, GUSS, comm. system, armor- and bio-stat monitors, climate conditioning system. Armor is powered by a fusion cell. Armaments include an M8 carbine, and MP7 SMG, and an HK Magunm that fires semi-explosive 12.7mm slugs, ideal for light armor and dinosaurs.
  
−
The outer shell, which is made of thin but hard and bullet-proof ceramic plates coated in "Shear-Thickening Liquid" (See Wikipedia; Liquid Armor) that is sprayed onto the plates and a special bullet/fragment proof weave of M5 Fiber that makes up the non-plated area of the armor;
+
17) USA and Allies take over the ISS and install a compartment built to house up to 90 marines, known as Orbital Drop Marines or Devil Droppers. The ODMs are highly skilled and trained and can land anywhere on Earth within an hours.
  
−
Second, the power-centric layer houses a Micro Turbine fueled by a miniature fusion cell (did I mention, thanks to Dr. Stephens, Fusion power is reality?) that can supply power for up to a week of continuous use;
+
18) Putty is a substance of raw stem cells that can be surgically altered and grafted to soldiers in order to heal various injuries and biologically augment their bodies.
  
−
Third, the Thermal Micro-climate Condition Subsytem layer houses narrow tubing that can provide heating or cooling to the soldier. This is where the auto-medication-dispensers is housed.  
+
19) USA helmet armor has increased gel padding and increased armor thickness in brow plate, sides, and back in order to protect against cranial trauma.
  
−
2) The US military has their second-largest Air Force base in the Azores mountain range, which is part of Atlantis. When Atlantis resurfaces, the base rises along with Atlantis, and the US launches its first assault from up there. The Azores are on the Northern end of the island. In the war campaign, USA forces will attempt to push their way South from the Air Force base and procure a foothold at a lower elevation. At the part of the war the crew is introduced to, the Military has built three such bases, plus the already established Air Force base: A Naval base in the middle of a lake, a USMC stronghold guarding the Western frontier at the edge of the Azores, and an US Army stronghold guarding the Eastern frontier at the edge of the Azores (see map to be roughly sketched later).
+
20) DGTs - Defensive Guard Towers. Can be crewed by up to 12 infantry, used in conjunction with Metal Storms, bunkers, trenches, and sensor arrays to secure small camp perimeters. Larger firebases have solid concrete-and-steel walls installed at perimeter, with bunkers on top and Metal Storms and 105mm and 40mm cannon installed directly into the walls.  
  
−
3)Really, in the writing, I need to describe more thoroughly how much power a gun holds. A gun can take somebody's life, can actually ''kill'' a person, so that they aren't in the world anymore. That's a powerful piece of hardware, and I haven't emphasized that enough.
+
21) USA soldiers undergo varied biomechanical and chemical surgical correction upon induction via the grafting of raw stem cells. Surgery is used to completely heal all new recruits of all illnesses and physical damage, boost the soldier's immune system, correct the spinal column, as well as regrow lost cartilage and repair crucial bodily structures such as the knees, neck, feet, shoulders, etc. Also increases the strength of all organs, tissues, bones, and overall body. Select soldiers also receive extended enhancement to boost seeing hearing, etc.  
  
−
4) Some plant life includes cycads, bennettitaleans, ginkgoes, pine, and fir trees, as well as swamp cypresses.  
+
22) Atlantian soldiers equipped with .57 cal 7-shot revolving rifles as base firearm. To break down doors, crack ships, etc, they use a 7-barreled semi-explosive volley gun firing 12.9mm rounds. Infantry also equipped with a 10-inch bayonet, a standard legionary double-edged straight sword, a 12-shot revolver pistol, and 2 flasks of Greek Fire.
  
−
5) One of the main SMGs used is the Pulse R71 SMG. In addition, the FN P90 USG, LWRC Personal Defense Weapon (PDW), and LWRC PDC are also good candidates for weaponry used by standard infantry and vehicle crews especially.
+
23) After first beach-landing battle scene, the US adopts new technology and equipment: More extensive base-camp defenses (See #20) and 7.62mm MGs and 40mm repeating cannon linked to sensor arrays scattered throughout jungle. Also use new M8's fitted with integrated bayonets, and XM350 dual-shot 40mm grenade launchers, enhanced and thicker armor plating with larger gel bladders to better protect against melee weaponry, and infantry given titanium composite sabers, maces, spears, axes, etc.  
  
−
6) Change the perspective of the combat. Nature (dinos) are in control. You just don't dispute that when you're staring down a Rex or Raptor or Dilo. You're pretty much dead. And also, Raptors are intelligent pack hunters. A classic ambush pattern would be for one to distract and cut off the path in front while two others come in from the sides, attempting to catch you unawares. If there are enough Raptors, they can use advanced tactics, such as sending two more around to the rear as backup and cut-off.  
+
24) Atlantians use winged gliders that they can attach to their armor, akin to angels' wings. Atlantian aircraft use rocket-powered propulsion, and their diving suits were mistook by early humans for aliens.  
  
−
Another classic hunt-pattern would be for one or two Raptors to herd a group of people or other prey to the edge of a hill or other elevation. Post one or two Raptors at either side of the hill and post another two on top of the hill as Overwatch and backup.
+
25) Nazca desert was Atlantian's priority raw-material site outside of mainland Atlantis, as Nazca desert has concentrated quantities of many raw materials. Nazca pathways - airfield for Atlantian aircraft.
  
−
Of course, no matter how smart Raptors were, they still weren't and aren't as smart as humans. When a group of soldiers is confronted with Raptors, it becomes a frantic race; flank, counter-flank, out-flank, ''kill''. Usually, Raptors still win. It might have something to do with the enormous 6 inch claws that are on each hand and foot. Or maybe its that they're abnormally strong. Being able to run as fast as a cheetah and jump 12 feet in the air might do it as well. Just a thought.
+
26) Egyptian, Babylonian, Mayan, etc pyramids all built with Atlantian help in order to store knowledge and to house king's tombs and for defense.
  
−
7) Atlantis is a tropical paradise, if you take away all the battle and bloodthirsty dinos. And that raises item # 8:
+
27) Earth destroyed 4 times - Water: Noah's flood. Ice: Ice Age. Fire: Thera Eruption. Air: Yucatan ash cloud.
  
−
8) In real life, carnivores wouldn't attack every human that came their way. They'd kill their share of meat and eat it, but leave the rest for scavengers. Since they've been on the same island as humans (albiet Atlantians who are extremely gifted warriors/hunters/people in general), somewhere along the line they must have realized that people are easy to kill and eat. It's not as difficult to kill a human as it is to kill a Stegosaurus. The exception to this is a Raptor. Raptors kill for fun, just as humans do. So they ''will'' attack any human that comes their way.
+
28) Atlantians used "Baghdad Batteries" powered by concentrated electrolytes in order to power lightbulbs, ancient computers, etc. Also invented astrogation device, where navigator could input the location of stars in order to determine latitude and longitude (Antikythera Mechanism).
  
−
9) Call signs. The military uses call signs to distinguish different squads. A couple examples: "Sierra", "Sigma", "Scarecrow", "Outlaw", "Phoenix"
+
29) Stonehenge's circles align with planetary orbitation around the sun. USA has glider packs that can be fitted into standard armor thruster pack. Glider packs have wings with several fuel tanks for extended jet-powered flight.  
  
−
10) The Atlantian's version of America's Bald Eagle is a Phoenix, which is indigenous (native) to the island. Yes, a Phoenix, like in Harry Potter. But these Phoenixes are the original pyrokinesis users. The ability to control fire started with them, and the Atlantians learned from the Phoenix how to control fire. They're limited with it, but some of their High Priests can, as well as their king, a descendant of King Minos.
+
30) Atlantians invent Da Vinci's 33 barreled organ gun for base defense, and use his tri-barrel cannon in his armored car invention. Atlantians also use his under-water breathing apparatus with the modification of the tubes being connected to a compressed air tank on the diver's back.  
  
−
Still working on what the original controllers for geo, hydro, and aerokinesis were.
+
31) Atlantian APC aerial screw helicopter can lift 8 men and uses steam generated from the hot coals in the base of the machine to turn an axle, which is increased in force by a complex  gearing system. The axle turns the screw, generating lift. Additional gears allow passengers to pedal, increasing lift at takeoff and landing. Helicopter can fly for up to an hour before water supply has to be refilled.
−
 
+
−
11) Have an action scene on the top of a semi-truck, like in The Matrix
+
−
 
+
−
12) Cover art for the first book: a Phoenix, circled in gold-orange flames, with the main characters built up below and in front of it in a row, arranged according to importance. In the first book, Scarlett (whose personality is based on the delightfully cheerful Emma Reifenberger [did I spell that correctly?]) will be the main character. Scar will be in front, Holly (with the personality of the lovely Wellie Delmer) will be directly to her right, Matt (played by grumpy ol' Brandon Krupczak lol) will be on her left, Kate Alabaster (thanks to the cheery Madeline Hill) directly beside Matt, and Dr. Stephens, whom we still need a first name for (Thanks to the dedicated and impossible-to-be-mad-at-for-more-than-an-hour Stephen Borrelli), will be directly beside Holly.
+
−
 
+
−
In the second book, it will change, and Holly will be the main character. The cover art for this book will be the emblazoned title ''Harvest Reaper'' with a grain field under it and a squad of soldiers back-to-back with weapons facing outward in the field, with the shadowy Grim Reaper
