I think that this isn't quite right. Shouldn't it be something like "lock on targets" or "set course toward targets"? Or am I wrong?

Given I have never read the EU, I have no idea :P Ohhh well.

How are you bb?

No, it's just that vector refers to, ahem, "a chosen course or direction for motion, as of an aircraft" (or spacecraft in this case), so you can't really set the target's vectors.

When I see "vector", admittedly, I think

An object of mass 5kg has a constant acceleration of 􏰀−12􏰁 ms−2 for 0 ≤ t ≤ 4, where t is the time in seconds. (i) Calculate the force acting on the object. [2]
When t = 0, the object has position vector 􏰀 −23 􏰁 m and velocity 􏰀 45 􏰁 m s−1. (ii) Find the position vector of the object when t = 4.
[3]

Shit, that's insane! I WANT TO FINISH SCHOOOOL

I'm glad you're okay. That post scared me.

I admit I read this ficlet when you posted it in comments somewhere. This line still makes me laugh:

You did it when they told you to skin the Wookie, and look where that got you.

*sheepish look* It really did. Ask Fia if I didn't message her asking her to call you. :P

It was funny - what? Why are you all looking at me like that? :P

My brain seems stuck on OMG NOW I KNOW WHAT AN EARTHQUAKE IS.

WE DEBATED EARTHQUAKES IN STATS TODAY. Hahaha, Bennett was trying to prove a point about Frequentist vs Bayesian theory by trying to prove that if there are 10 earthquakes and 5 volcanoes in 20 years, it's impossible to work out the likelihood of P(E n V) or whatever using both methods and it became a huge debate about geography and plate tectonics ...

Also. I won the year 12 prize for English and will not be in school that day. fml.

'studying history'. Not studying history. 'Studying history'.

Because apparently I like failing. :)

You?

Trying to get out of bed :(

Oooh, this is awesome. I do love your fic.

This is excellently horrifying, if that combination of descriptors makes any sense. This line -- You did it when they told you to skin the Wookie, and look where that got you -- seriously freaks me out. Oh man. :/

Imperial Han is a fascinating fellow.
