We're Alive REP-ivia!!!

An easy one:

"an angel gets his wings" -when?

and a harder one:

What recording devices have been used by WA characters, by whom, and under what circumstances (what was going on)?

+1 rep for each

Every time a tower falls, an Angel gets his wings...

A tape recorder was used by Lizzy, as an extension to her journal after she got "kicked" out of the Tower. It was found by Saul in the cab of the truck she was in with Bricks and Tardust, after the Arena attack when Saul went AWOL from the airport.

A TIVO was used also by Lizzy, very shortly into their stay at the Tower. She was checking the apartments for TIVO's and other DVR's hoping to find recorded news segments.

Camcorders were put to use (after modification) by Tommy, along with monitors, in order to provide the Tower with improved security.

Hope was also shown how to use the audio segment of the enhanced (post fire S.02) Tower security system.

No, No, no...


It was: "Every time an RPG fires, an Angel gets his wings."

K, ya got the first one RedShirt, rep coming up...ah it wont let me, yet.

I could go on and on with these but I'll limit myself to this last one for today:

Who did Kelly call an "ass" and for what reason?

Edit: because I thought adding this would be fun...

Who did Angel say was an "ass", and why?

If I can get an answer for each by someone different, 1 rep each, much appreciated.

About the first one, I can think of at least two instances:
Angel asks if there's "any Kelly gobblers out there" and after someone (Steven?) says no, she answers something like "thank you, ass".
She also comments on Michael upon arriving at Irwin "So it wasn't you being an ass, just your training"

Question: (This is an earlier question that has been re-phrased) What is the likely reason that Burt has the call sign, Raven?

Try to guess without the hint.
Hint

SPOILER 

You are gonna need a little knowledge of American Literature for this one

The raven is a poem about a man who greatly misses his lost love and speaks to a thing that won't truly respond (like a certain desert eagle) as a means of reaching out to her. Seems like a perfect description of Burt though I doubt Burt himself would state that as his reason.
Lets also note the ancient folklore associations in multiple cultures with the raven as the wily trickster. Seems like Burt to me.

Good luck on this one. Where does Tardust get his name?

Like I said. Good luck. It's not directly said in the series.

Er, be-cause he used to be a big David Bowie fan and, uh, was born with an unfortunate speech impediment that prevents him from properly articulating the letter s...

Prison guys game him shit about it and the name stuck.

You got the first one (+1 rep), now if someone can remember when Angel said it...

Chapter 24, The tower crew was packing up to leave for Irwin while Michael, Saul, Burt (and a few others) were prepping for the bogus exchange at the golf course.

She said "Thanks for that, by the way. Ass." and it was Steven.

And check my edit for the harder one. You have a couple but not all.

As for the recording devices, the only other one that I can think of at the moment is Tanya used a scanner to digitally transfer the Tower crews journals into (I'm guessing) a laptop.

CJ had video cameras recording at Dunbar Towers (re: a still of TOWTM pulled from video & vid of Kalani going in and out of the radio room).

Dentist/Doctor at the Maller occupied Colony used an ultrasound machine on Lizzy and recorded a picture of the little one with it.

And of course, a whole bunch of people have used a very common recording device - the journal. They have been recording thoughts and events in them since early in Season 1. Examples include Michael, Saul, Pegs, Burt, Kalani, Datu... :-)

I did not see mentioned the camera used to film Angel dying, did I miss it?
