On wikipedia. I typed in 'Military medals of Germany', since I figured that the Rovers would deserve that kind of medal, for saving the nation of Germany from such a dire threat. I wanted to be able to describe the medal in detail, so that's why I looked it up.

Well, I mean it. I'm gonna go on wikipedia tomorrow and see what I can find out about Japanese weddings for my next chapter.

That sounds great. Wikipedia is really helpful for finding info like that. As for the Brimstone missile I had Hunter and Colleen use to blow away the armored door in my Road Rover fic, I got this info from Wikipedia. It's got a twin-stage warhead. The first stage blasts away the outer layers of armor, and then the main warhead itself obliterates the armor underneath, using thermobaric reactions to incinerate the armor with a superheated jet of molten metal. The missile travels at supersonic speeds of Mach 4 (2,570mph), and is fired from launch racks that each contain three missiles. It was developed by the RAF (Royal Air Force), and is used by both Great Britain, and it's allies, including the United States. Here's a pic of the Brimstone missile: A pic of one of the RAF's best fighter aircraft, carrying 4 racks of Brimstones. The fighter is the Panavia Tornado GR.4, one of the best fighter/interceptors in the world. As you can see from the pictures, the Brimstone is quite a formidable missile, so it was only appropriate for Hunter to come up with the idea to manually arm one, and use it to blast their way into Sturmgeist's lair.

WOW, I'll say! Hunter's stronger than we all thought ! Actually accoridng to wikipedia Japanese weddings are very similar to our weddings in America. With only a feew exceptions, like the opening song is 'What A Friend We Have in Jesus in Japanese and the mother puts the veil on the daughter in her last offical duty as a Mom. Also at the end the groom bows to the bride's father, ad he returns the bow. But not too much is differtent. I'll be working on it later on tonight.

It was actually only one missile that they used, plus he had Colleen helping him carry it, and she's pretty strong herself (She's shattered cinderblocks barehanded!), so the two of them could probably carry one of those missiles.

Yeah, and people call Hunter stupid and airheaded...NOT!!! To think of a plan like that, he's definitely got a good head on his shoulders. Like Colleen's said several times before, in our fics, Hunter's a natural born leader, not to mention the best friend anyone could ask for.

I'm sure you'll eventually find the right guy. Like Exile said to Blitz, there's someone out there for everyone.

All I can say is keep trying, and you'll eventually find the right guy.
BTW, in your last Road Rover fic, 'Is This The End', I liked how you had Blitz hook up with Persia. That was really nice.

Hey thanks. Like ya said I thought if Blitz could try his luck with someone else maybe he'd leave Hunter and Colleen alone.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing when I created Samantha for my series.
