Sure, you can builde a radio transmitter small enough to be implanted, and make it run off of the body's electrical field. But how much power can you crank through it? I frankly doubt it'd be enough to get a signal up to a satellite even if you were standing on the surface. (BTW, Mission Impossible 2 did this same stunt.) But a transmitter that can reach low earth orbit from under a hundred meters of rock, concrete and steel, in the bowels of Thunder Mountain? Come on...you couldn't built a transmitter to do that if you had a nuclear reactor to charge it.

Well. A nuclera reactor. /ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif Yes you could do it. /ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif
But using the bodys electrical signals for the same thing!?!? Nope.. not possible. Perhaps out in the open. But never through an entire mountain. Never. That was the only real problem I had with an otherwise excelent episode. /ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif
I am just sorry that major Quantrell had to die. He was such a wonderfull character. He could have become a favourite bad guy later after a while... he truly had the potential.
