Rest in peace, Starcraft: Ghost

Caiden of Dalvengyr was exploring in Netherstorm the other day when he came upon something unusual: a futuristic blue monument that lit up with different symbols, including a V and a horseshoe. A couple people tossed out guesses as to the purpose of the monument -- the Ashbringer, the iHearthstone, the key to defeating warlocks -- before Blizzard rep Drysc chimed in:
"Rest in peace Nova...
I close my eyes
Only for a moment, then the moment's gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind...
/tear"
Nova, of course, is the heroine of Starcraft: Ghost. The flashing symbols spell out an approximation of her name. Apparently Blizzard has set up a memorial for one of their own games in Netherstorm. I guess this is as good as sign as any, along with the announcement of Starcraft 2, that Ghost has joined Duke Nukem Forever in the eternal vaporware bin.

Someone just needs to give her a Rez :P
She is probably standing there at her grave marker saying "WTF are you spirit healer? where am I?" takes a look around the floating rocks of Netherstorm "Geez look at this rubble, I must've nuked this planet good."
Flew past that Blue Thing a hundred times, thought it was some Draenei tombstone, never saw the flashing letters on it :P
