That delay is set to 5s. (Oh, and where I wrote "eye of sauron" I meant "cylon". I guess this reveals my utter ignorance of all things science fiction and fantasy. We have this animation in there now since a while, and quite frankly, I have no idea where this supposedly is inspired from, except it's something with spaceships, which already turns me off so much I quickly stop listening...)
