I don’t get why I can’t be out there with you.” Whoa, take it easy there, Hunter. “Huh?” “I mean with my fireteam.” “No, not that. Look.” He pointed at the flashing light that was displaying on the screen. “Looks like you got an incoming transmission. Gonna answer it?” I rolled my chair over and sought to the signal that was being read by our SATcom. I disabled all active broadcasting channels so only I (and technically Paledon) could hear it before I sned it through the Tower’s announcement system. Turning the dials and knobs, the feedback resigned and played through the speakers. “Any guardians on this frequency? This is a distress signal being sent by Lord Saladin, at the top of the mountains in the Cosmodrome. I need immediate assistance…” There was static. “Fallen…they’re trying to raid the temple. The coordinates will be sent to your ghost. Act quickly. Oh. And please don’t notify the Vanguards. I don’t need them heckling around here.” How strange. A distress call from Lord Saladin? I turned off the distress signal since it was on a loop. I leaned back in my chair and exhaled loudly. Looked at Paledon. “What was that about?” “I dunno,” he said as he got up from the desk. “Why don’t we go find out?” “But you know I can’t leave. If the Vanguards find out they—” “Can’t do jack shit. Look, Hunter, you’re a guardian, and you shouldn’t be all cooped up here in the Tower doing another poor…

    I chose to sketch Ralph with his true friend Piggy. Throughout the novel Piggy supported Ralph and helped him. Piggy was an important character that always reminded Ralph of reason and the purpose of the signal fire.

    distributional uncer- tainty, under which the distribution governing the period-by-period realization of the payoff relevant state is unknown. Because of the dynamic nature of the problem, I consider agents who care about long-run outcomes (i.e., maximize their long-run average payoffs). In the long-run each signal struc- ture implicitly defines a stochastic evolution of beliefs and induces a limiting distribution thereover. Given distributional uncertainty, a long-run strategy must persuade the…

    of the wood crackling beneath the heat gives comfort to others. Without full control of it, the fire can escape its home and destroy everything in it’s path. Wildfires have destroyed homes and cities within days. A fire can represent two ideas: civilization and savagery. William Golding explains these ideas in The Lord of the Flies. He shows that the fire the boys use for a rescue signal, can also destroy or kill if it is given the chance. Although Golding has several symbols he applies to…

    Swinging his legs as hard as he could, he tried his best, but it wasn’t enough. As he was jumping off, he imagined himself as Superman flying to his next rescue. Screaming damsels to rescue and villains to conquer were hard to find. After a few minutes, playing Superman did not seem fun. Moping around in utter misery and youthful self-pity, he plopped down and lay back on the grass. The dog licked him on the face. That tickled a little, but could not hold the interest of a bored little boy…
