And they use slap wrist sticks as handcuffs, awesome.

She could have gotten a lot more if instead of referring to it as a "sacred location" if she'd made better computer analogies and ignored the whole "the whole world is connected" schlock.

Also, is strip mining really necessary? Why not just dig a whole and then dig tunnels to the required locations? Strip mining is only effective in limited instances.

The sky people have ulterior motives? No wai!

The big honkin' gunship is awesome and yet so poorly designed. The big brick shape would never fly. It'd better off as a rotodyne.

Okay, now those are missile pods!

What's up with the door gun? It's clearly not a gatling gun since there's no visible rotation mechanism. Why does it have those little fins?

Titties in a tight shirt, the guards only weakness!

Stay here! Because there are no internal cameras or security!

Okay, soldier man is quite possibly the most awesome dude ever. Grabs a gun and heads out the door to start capping asses. Why there's a door to the outside in the control room, you know where all the important people are, is another questionable design decision by Cameron.

Is that a fucking suppressor on that gun? And it can't be any larger than a 7.62mm round coming out of that thing and it can punch straight through the cockpit canopy? They seriously skimped on the budget for those things.

He empties the clip and switches to his pistol! This guy is pure awesomeness. And the scope on that pistol! My god, he's got to be able to hit just about anything if he bothered to look through it. Of course it would probably explode from the mere presence of his badass eye.

And a mook runs up with a gas mask and he deigns to lower himself to wanting air to breath.

So one chopper can pick up the whole damn cargo container thingy and haul it around. And they couldn't have just brought it out there to begin with? And the scientist chick apparently doesn't believe in fairy tales despite knowing perfectly well what the computer thingy can do.

Are those rock formations in giant hoops? I'm no geologist, but I'm almost positive that isn't accurate.

Considering the damage a few missiles did, why didn't they just set the entire forest on fire, say it was an accident and then move in? Bah, poor planning.

Obvious Chekhov's Gun is obvious. And predators never watch out for attacks? My word, I'll have to remember that.

Was there a point in stripping her naked and wrapping her in vines? Also, the giant USB backup tree can grow shit into people really damn fast.

And Grace leaves for the giant harddrive in the tree.

I want to see him pound a podium in fury.

There's fucking planes and they decide to land in the jungle? What the hell? Clearly there's no military planning, otherwise they'd know that people with bows and arrows are much easier to push around when you can deploy tanks that don't carry much bigger guns.

So apparently the earth is sterile? That's a work of pure genius.

Okay, I recognized what appear to be three barreled gatling guns on the gunships, things have improved. Although, now that I get a good look at them, are those blades directly over the doors? That's no good, it'll cause such a huge downdraft that it will start sucking people out.

A liiitle suggestion, but maybe you could try to break this into bigger updates? It gets really tiring to follow a liveblog which is essentially made of microposts fired at supersonic speed.

Or those gatling gun arrays on the massive gunship? Good god, all it's weapons are pointed forward! Come on, it's big enough to mount turrets around different parts of the hull to defend itself from rear attacks. And why exactly are they putting the explosives on the shuttle again? There weren't a whole lot of them, there's gotta be some kind of bombbay on that massive flying cow.
