![]() The pejorative term 'leech' received wide circulation soon after and is used to this day, mostly among class C citizens. The corporate-funded outfit proved especially useful in bringing down insurgent groups, which earned Observers the reputation of Chiron's leash dogs. Reestablished as a special task force, they were now meant to act as a police support unit, conducting neural interrogations on witnesses and suspects. We'll remember it for you."Īnonymous KPD Officer, Insurgent Detention Centerįollowing the signing of the Ostrovian Treaty, Observers were introduced into civil service. Post-war "Don't remember, eh? Don't worry. This, however, has been denied by the lead engineer of the program, who stated that the name was given in the early testing phase. It is often said that the name 'observer' originated from Lipinski, as the fellow soldiers often referred to him - rather crudely - as a 'head on a stick' that could no longer do anything but observe the world around him. Thus, what was left of his torso and head was mounted on a specially designed rack and wheeled in when it was necessary to interrogate captured enemy soldiers. Arguably the most famous Observer from that time was Thomas Lipinski - a young soldier inducted into the program after losing all of his limbs to a P-92 mine.Īlthough cybernetic prostheses were already available, Lipinski's body rejected any attempts at implantation. As long as their brain retained all of its functions, they could be inducted into the Observer program, thus prolonging their life and service. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the original Observers were recruited mostly among severely wounded soldiers, frequently ones who could no longer function without the aid of cybernetics. The original augmentation was based on experimental technology, which proved defective and prone to a number of tragic side effects, including a drastically reduced lifespan and extreme mental instability. The first prototype of the Dream Eater device was designed in 2053. The Observer program was introduced during The Great Decimation, as a means to extract information from prisoners of war. Thaddeus Berg, "Here Comes a Big One, or How I Survived the Eastern Front" I saw grown men, hardened veterans, piss themselves when he fixed his gaze on them. The worst thing was the eyes, all lidless and bloodshot, constantly moving about. The stench of disinfectants, the screeching noise he made as they wheeled him in. Due to the controversial nature of their work, as well as frequent cases of mental instability, Observers are generally frowned upon by the public at large. The device, colloquially known as the Dream Eater, allows an Observer to connect to the subject's cerebral cortex via their neural implant in order to extract information. Observers are a special police unit tasked with conducting neural interrogations using the DR-3AT implant.

Don't let the modern premises fool you this is one of the finest classic pies in the entire Northeast. These days, the same magic still happens, the same way it has since 1947. Practically around the corner, you have DeLorenzo's Tomato Pies, which until recently still operated out of a memorably outdated space in the old neighborhood. If you really want to throw it back, ask them about putting mustard on your pizza (seriously - it's kind of a tradition here). There's Papa's, which dates to 1912, run by the Azzaro family, who will proudly tell you that this is the oldest, continuously operating, family-owned pizzeria in the United States.

Or what of the Old Forge pie, the calling card of a blue-collar Pennsylvania town that very seriously calls itself the Pizza Capital of the World and has the highest rate of pizzerias per capita in the country? How about Utica-style pizza, a staple in New York's Mohawk Valley for longer than many of New York City's famous pizzerias? Sure, it may not be all to your stylistic taste, but every single one of these long-held regional traditions is spectacular, in its own way.īesides having the best new pizza in America, New Jersey also has some of the best, oldest pizzas in America, down in Trenton, where they don't call it pizza at all but rather tomato pie. For a minute, however, never mind the latest trends, because there has always been so much to uncover and appreciate, so much that has always been there, so much wonderful Italian-American tradition, which is a whole other universe from Italian-Italian. ![]() Well now I will own it and I will enjoy every drop of this wonderful scent.

Some Examples of Active and Passive Voice Sentences and the Conversion In active voice, all three elements are clear, but in passive voice, there is relatively less clarity. This is the clarity issue we were talking about earlier. Some passive voice sentences may not even have a subject. In a passive voice sentence, the structure of the order is: The order of writing is “Subject > Verb > Object”.Here’s how you can structure an active voice sentence: So, the writer must choose between the two voices carefully and present information accordingly. In passive voice, we can avoid unnecessary repetition but at the cost of writing long sentences and risking losing the reader’s interest. However, with active voice writing, we may need to repeat some information for the sake of making it reach out to the reader. In essence, the voice explains or demonstrates the relationship between the verb and its subject.ĭue to its structure and formation, an active sentence has better clarity than a passive voice sentence. The “Voice” of a sentence communicates the information about an action. What is the Purpose of Having a “Voice” in a Sentence or Content?

It is a good practice to limit the use of passive voice. That’s why almost every veteran writer and writing course emphasizes using active voice in content. Passive sentences are not wrong, grammatically, but they don’t have the same authority as a sentence written in an active voice.
