I'M BACK!
Accually my first idea was to build the heart- the command center but come to
think about it i like the idea to have every one build it but that would be
kind of hard. I have a cool idea for the command center so i'll try to make a
rough DAT or may be a sketch. I dunno. I am availible for most all sections. I
don't really care which i get.
