And as they say, "soon" is now.

And since I was given the chance to open a thread, I will start with a thought that offer us all a chance to deepen our understanding of reality, and how to change it.

"Never underestimate the value of an ally on the inside."

How does that relates to the current situation, class? Discuss.

Sun Fox is a Helghast?

Not quite! ^_^

Sabre Fox is a Helghast?

Isn't that the very point Sun Fox is arguing for? ;)

Sun Snake didn't say she was wrong.

So, you're agreeing? That's interesting!

Sabre Fox, it seems you're on your own... again. ^_^

The name "Fifth Column" and "ally on the inside" sounds like a "V" reference, hehe.
But that's just me being an 80s sci-fi geek like I usually am :)

Other than that, I'm not sure what it could mean...  Although Swift might be good at sneaking into the inside of something, even if she is a somewhat volatile ally ;)  hehe.

It's actually an history reference, which I would guess any other subsequent reference in various works of art calls back to, as it was at the beginning of the last century. Specifically, it's a reference on how Franco took power in Spain - he attacked Madrid with four column of infantry and, when the royal forces moved to fight those, he sent oders for his fifth column, who'd been in hiding inside the city, to revolt, thus making him win.

I know it's been referenced in many works of art - although I wasn't aware it'd been used in V - and I can see why, too; I choose to reference it both to keep up the naming theme I've established, and because it seemed appropriate to the game in general.

Does that helps? ^_^

Ahh ok :)
I didn't know about that bit of history.

In the series, the Fifth Column was the name taken by a rebel group hiding within an alien fleet invading Earth.  They disagreed with the invasion and tried to help out the human resistance with information gathering and sabotage.
Hence why I thought of that as the "ally on the inside" thing.

I was curious to see what would come after "Fourth Wall" too.  Now just wondering what the Sixth will be... :)

That's pretty much in line with the original one, isn't it? the fifth column is the secret ally on the inside. ^_^

As for what will be sixth... you'll see when we get there; it's still one thousand posts ahead, so hurry up filling this thread if you want to know! ;D

I'm sure I can think of plenty of stuff to post about...

Although at the moment I'm a little distracted by Sabre Fox and Sun Fox being so adorable together in their thread ;)  hehe.

Not sure about Sixth, but I'm guessing the Seventh would be "Seventh Heaven"? :)
(Just a guess).

And that would be an appropriate guess - that's the idea at the moment, although of course it could change.

Doesn't seems like I should ask how you guessed, but I'll do it anyway, for the fun of it: how did you guessed? ^_^

Just the first thing that came into my head that fit with "Seventh" really :)

Thought I'd ask since while I'm trying to add more posts to get to 1000 faster, I'm trying to keep it at least a little bit on-topic ;)  hehe.

By the way, are you the new player in Dragon's Legacy?  *peers curiously at Shadow* :)

I don't need to play in Legacy, I am already a character in it; I'm an all-seeing ghost. ;P

No, I'm not the new player... and while I do know, I shouldn't spoil it, so I won't say antyhing more on the matter. ^_^
