I think I need to Photoshop this picture so it no longer looks like Jack's got something up his nose. It's just a badly-placed speck of light on the glass he's looking through.
edit: Currently reading 'The Furies' by Abby Eddey, from Heliopolis - Sam fighting for her world and her General - go Sam! Lots of Jack-whumping, death, destruction, trekking through the wilderness, upcoming battles, apocalypse, that sort of thing - NSFW - but I'm sure there's a happy ending because, er, I checked. Hey, I wanted to make sure it was finished before I started reading - it's something like 62,000 words long. That's a novel. How does she write that much? How???
edit 2: Anyone know what 'CFB' stands for? Used in the above story, in the below context. I get the gist, and can make an intelligent guess, but I'm just curious. I don't think it's Come F**k me Boots, Canadian Forces Base, or Circulating Fluidizing Bed:
"People," Carter spoke quietly as she stepped in front of the table, "I want this understood, C ... F ... B. I am done running. I am taking you home. We are not retreating. We are not pulling back. We are not running away. Starting today -- we are taking back our home from this enemy. I am bringing this battle to Earth. We start here ... We start today."
I'm learning lots of new words (new to me, anyhow). Wo ai ni de pi gu (phonetic Chinese), from Shiny.

CFB...um...wtf? I don't know. Usually I can get their strange, military jargon. RTB = Return to Base. Sitrep = Situation Report, etc. I've never even heard of this one, and don't even get it from the context. Alas. Sorry.

I'm guessing it means something like, um, "I want this understood clearly." It was used elsewhere in the story, and that's what it sounded like. I kinda like all the unofficial military acronyms, like SNAFU and FUBAR. They appeal to my juvenile sense of humour. I got a whole long list off of Wikipedia - but it didn't include CFB. I'm determined to use the phrase "fourth point-of-contact" in a story sometime. Said by Jack, naturally:
Fourth Point-of-Contact - as in, "You guys had better get off of your fourth points-of-contact." A reference to the buttocks, which impact the ground following the feet, calf, and thigh when properly executing a Parachute Landing Fall.
