Radagon is Mortal: Elaborating on TAs recent theories.

2023.06.01 20:01 greetthemoth Radagon is Mortal: Elaborating on TAs recent theories.

In Tarnished Archeologists new video, he reveals the idea that Maliketh was the one that Impaled Marika with the spear of destined death after Marika asked him to.
This made me think a lot about his timeline video and how that event would fit into it.
If you haven't watched his Golden Order video, he suggests a very unique timeline of events. The biggest deviation being that Marikas shattering of the Elden ring and Radagon's repair of the Elden ring where separate events. In fact, in his timeline, Radagon only emerged after the initial shattering of the Elden ring.
While this timeline is very different to how most of the community looks at the game, nothing in the game overtly contradicts it, so I've been seriously considering it since the video released.
So a thought dawned on me yesterday, what if the spear of destined death impaled into Marika is what created Radagon.
Radagon is a character that i believe i have a solid conceptual understanding of, so I was surprised to find that this idea not only worked with my understanding of Radagon, but elaborated on it, like it was the missing piece all along.
So without further ado here's my elaboration on TA's timeline, starting from the point of Marika being impaled by the spear, all the way to Radagon repairing the Elden Ring.
*I recommend watching the 2 videos linked above before reading this as i will proabbaly skip most of the details in them.

The Impaling of Marika

As TA concludes, Marika asks maliketh to impale her with destined death. I believe this did 2 things. Shatter the Elden Ring, and give Marika mortality.
This event also causes the "first burning" of the Erdtree. Meaning the erdtree no longer exists.This causes the end of the age of plenty.
From TA's timeline video.
In the "incantation timeline" above ,all the incantations shown belonged to the age of plenty. It starts with the Elden Stars incantation, and Mysteriously ends with Maliketh's Black Blade. This would make sense if Malikeths DD spear was what ended the age of plenty.
But why did Marika do this? There are a couple possibilities.
○ She wanted to end her age, or at least bring the potential for an end to her age.
○ She wanted to become a mortal Radagon, with the purpose of perfecting the golden order.
○ Or maybe she didn’t want it to happen, and someone else tricked Maliketh into doing it under the guise of Marika.

Id like to add that there is already precedence for Marika ordering people to kill her, as she asks Hewg to make a weapon that can kill a god.
New Era
As TA elaborates, the shattering of the elden ring leads to the Era of Erdtree worship. (timestamp). We know this because spells and items associated with this era specifically remark on the shattering of the Elden ring.

Wrath of Gold

"This incantation was discovered when the Elden Ring was shattered*, and it was feared as a sign of the Erdtree's wrath.*" - Wrath of Gold

Erdtree Seal

" A formless sacred seal decorated with an Erdtree crest, once the focus of religion in the Lands Between.Even though the Elden Ring is shattered*, and the Erdtree has dulled from its former radiance, earnest faith continues to hold the answers."* - Erdtree seal
The Illusory Tree
The physical erdtree is gone, but due to the faith of those who study believe the Erdtree, an illusiory tree manifests in its place.

" It was once thought that the blessed sap of the Erdtree would drip from its boughs forever -- but that age of plenty swiftly came to a close*, and with time, the Erdtree became more an* object of faith*." - Blessed Dew Talisman*

See TA's the Erdtree is an illusion video for more on this subject.
*Its also possible the illusory tree only comes about later in the timeline, perhaps after Radagon marries Rennala, or after establishing golden order fundamentalism, ill elaborate on this idea later.

Radagon Emerges

Due to being imbued with destined death, Marika reemerges as a mortal man, a mere champion, Radagon.

"This incantation was used by the champions of the Erdtree in the First and the Second Liurnian Wars, during which the red-haired Radagon joined the heroes' ranks " - Barrier of Gold

Here is some evidence for Radagon being mortal.

Unlike Marika, he is never called or implied to be "Eternal".
Even Marika, who knows him to be her other self, belittles him by saying he isn't a god. Meaning he's, in some important manner, at a lower level than her, despite being her.
He was always thought to be "Mere Champion" according to Miriel
Maliketh armor mysteriously reads: "Champions knew what was at stake. Indeed, that is what made them champions." I believe this implies 'Champions' are mortal, and its specifically their ability to die that made their feats have valor(credits to Crunchy) . *I also think its compelling that its specifically Maliketh's armor that gives us this clue. Given he was the source of the spear.
Subtext: we only kill Marika through Radagon. Which would make sense if Radagon is the mortal version of Marika.

Radagon is tied to the red spear, and the clue has staring at us right in the face: Before our fight with Radagon we see Marika with the red spear impaled into her. But when she falls and reemerges as Radagon, the spear is gone. But Why? The only way to interpret this is by concluding that Radagon himself is somehow tied to the spear. In hindsight, the conclusion is obvious, Radagons red hair, is the mark of the spear.

https://preview.redd.it/p0n79ynl5g3b1.png?width=913&format=png&auto=webp&s=79a1a30c2277937834a8f9e057ea99ed58a773e0
Radagon's Purpose
Radagon hates his red hair because its the mark the spear that impaled marika, and the mortality it gave him. Its also a symbol for the shattered state the world is in.
At this point the Golden order is in shambles, shattered and in dire need of repair, and Radagon's whole purpose is to reverse the damage, and find a way to make the himself, and the Golden Order whole again.
Radagon external yearning to repair the world, manifested as an internal yearning to become complete. This would lead him on a quest to study the depths of the Golden Order.
u/IStarScream said it first. At the Minor Erdtree Church its Radagon, not Marika that declares his purpose,

"I declare mine intent, to search the depths of the Golden Order.
Through understanding of the proper way, our faith, our grace, is increased.
Those blissful early days of blind belief are long past.
My comrades; why must ye falter?"

In order to understand the golden order he calls for an end to the days of "blind belief", or faith, alone. The Golden Order had to expand its horizons.
If you're confused about Radagon's motivations you have to remember that Radagon is the personification of the Golden Order. Thus while it may seem like he has multiple goals and motivations:Curing his mortality, becoming a god, Hating his hair, Repairing the Elden Ring, Understanding the Golden Order, becoming Complete, and to repair the Elden Ring.
All his internal motivations and external motivations are linked together: In completing himself he is competing the Golden Order, in curing his mortality, he would become a god and make an Eternal Age. In a sense, all of his goals are synonymous, because they lead him down the path of self-completion.

Radagon's Journey

In alchemy the way you reach the magnum opus (the key to immortality) is by separating and recombining opposites. *This is a simplified understanding for the purposes of this theory.
If Marika's shattering of the Elden ring was the Separation Step. Radagon's purpose is the Unification step. *This may offer insight into why Marika decided to shatter in the first place.
Unification is one of Radagon's most important theme. The first thing Radagon did is make amends with the Rennala, the queen of the full moon and end the Lurinian war, eventually Marrying her and uniting the Erdtree with the Moon. As Miriel tells us:

"Radagon once cleansed himself with celestial dew, repented his territorial aggressions, and swore his love to Rennala. The Order of the Erdtree and the fate of the moon were conjoined, and all the wounds of war forgiven. -Miriel, Pastor of Vows"

It was Radagon that made the Vows and bathed himself in celestial dew.
In his path for completion he learns both sorcery and incantations.

"As the husband of Rennala of Caria, the red-haired Radagon studied sorcery, and as the husband of Queen Marika, he studied incantations. Thus did the hero aspire to be complete." - Radagons Icon

Just as he makes himself more complete by learning sorceries and incantations, he makes the understanding of the Golden Order, more complete by uniting the Erdtree with the Moon.
Skipping forward in the timeline, Radagon leaves Rennala and returns to Lleyndel. And this leads us to Fundamentalism.
Fundamentalism
With his newfound knowledge Radagon utilizes both faith and Intelligence to reach a deeper understading of the Golden order, by establishing GO fundamentalism.
There's several clues for this.

Radagon's work appears in the golden order principia.
Radagon's signature T pose is used in GO incantations.
The minor erdtree church mentioned before holds the GO seal, which buffs GO incantations.
Golden centipedes, used by fundamentlists, appear around his Radagons statue in bellum church, and in the afformentioned Minor Erdtree Church.
He shared GDO fundamentalist spells with his child Miquella.

This is likely where Radagon became "Radagon of the Golden Order"
Its also possible Radagon's hatred of his mortality, is the sentimental origin of the fundamentalist rabid hatred for Those Who Live in Death. Although this idea is admittedly loose at the moment.
A short note on Regression

The Law of Regression
One of the 2 laws the fundamentalists use to study the GO is The Law of Regression. Its the spell used to prove Radagon is Marika. Doing so advances Goldmasks questline and leads to you unlocking the Totality gesture, Radagon's signature pose. This also leads Goldmask to create a rune of perfect order. Which serves as conceptual evidence that Radagons goal was the same as Goldmasks, a Perfect Order. Complete and Eternal.
The Law of Regression has a lot of conceptual ties to Radagon. "All things yearn to converge". And as we've been talking about, Radagon's unification of the Erdtree and the Moon, and utilization of both intelligence and faith, are both examples of "convergence". His eventual act of repairing elden ring is also an example of "convergence". The list goes on, but I want to elaborate on Radagon and his 'Reggressionary nature', in a separate post that will delve deep into the game's allegory.

Radagon's Failure

For reasons i only have conceptual answers for, his plan to become complete ultimately didn’t work. And Marika spurns him.

"O Radagon, leal hound of the Golden Order.
Thou'rt yet to become me. Thou'rt yet to become a god.
Let us be shattered, both. Mine other self. "

And so the Elden ring is Shattered... again???
While a "second shattering" may sound like an absurdity at first, I think there is compelling proof for it.
Seeds

https://preview.redd.it/nsbyz0bqsb3b1.png?width=200&format=png&auto=webp&s=fb975927ca638637de297e67c545b4209b79a073

" A golden seed, found at the base of an illusory tree*.*
Increases a Sacred Flask's number of uses.(Can be used after resting at a site of grace.)
When the Elden Ring was shattered, these seeds flew from the Erdtree*, scattering across the various lands, as if life itself knew that its end has come."*

Assuming Erdtree seeds only spread when the Elden ring is shattered. Its peculiar that we have 2 distinct generation of Erdtree offspring in the game: The minor erd trees which are well grown, and the young translucent trees that grow from the golden seeds we find in the game. This would make perfect sense if they are results of 2 separate shatterings, one when a physical erdtree existed, in the age of plenty, and one when an illusory, faith powered, erdtree existed.
Peculiarly the tree in the aforementioned, Minor Erd Tree Church, seems like a more mature version of the illusory trees we find.
This detail is one of the things that makes me think that the illusiory trees are tied specifically to Radagon's rise in influence, and his attempts at reinvigorating the golden order. After all, this church is the location where Radagon first declared his purpose.
There's also already a subtle motif of historical events happening in pairs. There are 2 Lurinian wars, 2 defenses of Lleyndels, which gives some precdence fro their being 2 Shatterings.
The Shattering Wars
This second shattering is the one that leads to the Shattering Wars we know of.
Divine Laws
This part of the essay is when I indulge in allegorical and conceptual analysis, so fair warning.
The Law of Causality / Radagon's Rings of Light (or \"Divine Laws Punishment\" in 1.00)
Radagon's Rings of Light in the 1.00 version is called "Divine Law's Punishment", I believe this spell is invoking the events of the "second shattering". Its a GO incantation that uses radagons iconic Totality gesture and depicts a huge ring explosively expanding outward from the caster. While the name is eventually changed, to Radagons Ring's of Light, I believe the original name is far too evocative to be mere accident. I believe it originally represented Radagon's attempt at repairing the elden ring, ultimately failing.
Let's me elaborate. Firstly, what is the "Divine Law" in question. Well, another GO incantation that depicts a ring expanding, or more specifically, shattering out, is the Law of Causality(credit to u/Dryadversity), the second fundamental law. The spell creates manifests a ring on your body, and after taking 5 hits, the ring shatters.
In short the Law of Causality is the counter force to the Law of Regression. It responds to regression's inward force by "retaliating" with an outward force. Things come together, and upon impact, they come apart. TA arrives at the same idea by comparing these Laws to Newton's Laws of Motion. Lore YTber Crunchy was the first I've heard elaborate on this idea.
If Radagon is Regression, the force of unification and repair, then Marika is causality, the force that pushes things apart and seeks to shatter -- Two sides of the same coin.
Hense the "Divine Law's Punishment" is Marika's Punishment to Radagon. Or more allegorically put, Casuality's punishment to Regression. This is why Radagon couldn't become Complete, and why he failed to repair the Elden Ring. He had not become complete, "yet to become a god", and he is shattered my Marika. For the same reason his attempt at repairing the elden ring ended in it simply shattering. In both cases, his attempt at Regression results in Causality.
This is the tragedy, the joke, at the core of Radagon's character: If you hit a ring made of glass with a hammer, it doesn't matter if your intention is to repair it, you will simply break it more. Why? In our world we'd blame Newton's third law of motion. In Elden ring we'd blame the Law of Casuality.
Marika shattering the Elden Ring the second time around, and Radagon repairing it were the same event, the same person, at the same moment. Radagon just failed so miserably at repairing it, that he, as Marika, was simply shattering it more. The laws of nature were not on his side.
Conclusion/ TLDR
This is an Elaboration of TAs recent theories.Marika shattered the Elden ring by getting Maliketh to impale her with Destined Death, this is Marika's betrayal to Maliketh. Marika , now imbued with DD, reemerges as Radagon a mortal, the red hair being a symbol for the red spear and the mortality it cursed him with. Radagon attempts to become immortal by becoming complete, understanding the golden order, and repairing the elden ring. He learns sorceries and Incantations and starts fundamnetalism, this however ultimately fails as Marika shatters them both, and the Elden ring, once more. There are 2 shatterings of the elden ring, which is why there are 2 generation of Erdtree Offspring.
--------------
At first TA's timeline seemed pretty crazy to me, but the more ive thought about it, the more its starting to grow on me. As the full picture starts to come together, a lot of things just seem to work. So what are your thought on this version of events? Please let me know if there are any holes in this theory or in my reasoning.

2023.06.01 19:33 Aijitsutokkion I was treating this plant for gnats and noticed this webbing. Do I also have something else too?

I was gifted this plant 2 weeks ago and it came from Amazon. I am using mosquito bit tea to kill the gnats and those sticky things to get the adults. I saw some webbing when I first got the plant but I just cleaned it off because I thought it was from just sitting in Amazon.

2023.06.01 17:21 treethirtythree Ode to the Tree

As the sun crests over the building top,
a ray of light splits over near and distant objects and I see,
The trees.
How can I describe their beauty with a vocabulary as limited as mine?
The feeling I get each time the wind whips and brushes the branches,
It's this joy that is buried in my soul and comes rushing forth and fills my whole body and mind with wonder!
A late spring day with a taught breeze. The birds singing back and forth about worms, nests, and making babies,
The blue sky offering clues of what the day holds for saplings - laughter and parks. Games abound.
I pick one in a million and ponder its existence. What did its surroundings look like at birth? From what tree did its roots spring? How many summers and winters have passed between now and the first?
The birds that may have perched or the ants that crawled and the bees that made their honey with it standing firm.
Each layer of bark it created and shed to the ground. The food and air its provided year after year, season after season is the reason some beings exist.
It bears leaves and in six months it'll be bare of them again. It's my friend, my love, my admiration and I can't know its name.
One of me, one of billions and loved all the same. But, when its light passes through my eye, it's loved just a little bit more.
....

2023.06.01 13:25 Myuagi Tea Leaves could be much more useful

Unlike so many other people, I'm actually excited for the idea of Leaves that could used for tea. However, I'm not super excited for their current Beta use.
Right now, the CAs give a player increased clue scroll drop, more Slayer points/increased superior spawn, and more minigame points (at least, Pest Control and Warrior's Guild). We have Ava's for a chance to save arrows. For magic, they could introduce an ammo-slot item that has a chance to save runes (not charges, like Ghommal's Lucky Penny already does). This could make the player choose between prayer (Rada's Blessing) or saving runes.

Why not have the Tea Leaves have other uses?
A chance for a bird nest OR for an extra log, like Varrocks armor? A chance to save an Infernal Axe charge (since skillers can't(?) get the Lucky Penny)? A low-key stamina potions "Restores X energy and prevents energy depletion for the next 10 seconds".
Or, add leaves to Herblore as another tertiary like crystal dust? Since we already will use leaves for fires, why not expand fire Cooking? A reduced burn chance, or (I hate to sounds like RS3) an increased energy regeneration for the next X seconds?

I think Leaves, and Foresty, will be a great expansion for Woodcutting, I would just hate to see it as this must-do for any Slayer Task or Pest Control game.

2023.06.01 12:34 safewrdtchoupitoulas Highway 55, exit 7: Ruddock

I'm going to try and keep this short and to the point. I feel like even thinking about it only makes it grow stronger, but here we go.

My dad one night driving us from NO to BR mistakenly gets on 55N @ LaPlace even though he's driven between BR and No 1000000 times. Mom is pissed. There is no way to get off until the Northshore she says.
About 15 minutes later I hear my dad say that they can just get off at this town and see if they can turn around. I'm alerted because it is pitch black outside (it's 10:30 pm) and there isn't a light for miles let alone anything that would indicate a town. I look up to see the sign, Exit 7 Ruddock only moments before the car starts off on the exit into the blackness.
The moment we start to descend, every cell in my body goes into flight response. It's never been that strong. It was like my whole body plunged into boiling water. When we hit the bottom of the ramp the car stops. All we can see is fog and the headlights. The hairs ono the back of my neck erect themselves. WE HAVE TO GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE I tell my parents. My mom responds with, "This is a hidey place". The highway is thundering above us. You could scream your head off down here and no one would ever have a clue. My dad is taking Clark Griswold-esque time sightseeing down here. I'm about to vomit. Suddenly we zoom up the ramp having crossed under the roadways and are back in realtime in a flash.

When I get home I Google it and find that the town was wiped off the map in 1915. Nearly everyone in the town and the neighboring town died there. The number of bodies found there in the present day, people who's cars have been found there, body parts, blood, and the number of multi-car cataclysmic grisly explosion car crash events as well as the number of cars that have driven over the side of the highway at that spot is remarkable. I have heard there are residents of S. Louisiana that will wear every religious relic they own to even go near it. Remember that mushroom cloud that happened out of nowhere recently that you could see in Baton Rouge? When I heard on the news that it had formed over the isthmus of land between Bayou Manchac and Lake Pontchartrain I held my breath. Guess what's there? Ruddock.

Since then many odd things have happened that I find unnerving and sometimes I think I picked something up there that night. I have only gone down the exit once more during the day. There is a strange history with my car dashcam and exit 7. The first night I had it I drove to Ponchatoula to visit a friend. I stayed the night and woke up to find that an incident had been recorded at 4 am. The camera is triggered by movement in case of an accident. It was a lot of weird sounds and blurry imagery. I deleted it. There have been times when I have driven by and all the external collision warnings on my car have gone off at that exit. Once the song Red Right Hand started out of nowhere. Here's the lyrics of the opening:
Take a little walk to the edge of town Go across the tracks Where the viaduct looms, Like a bird of doom As it shifts and cracks Where secrets lie in the border fires, in the humming wires Hey man, you know you’re never coming back Past this square, past the bridge, past the mills, past the stacks On a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man In a dusty black coat with a red right hand

The aforementioned time that I went down there again, this happened. I had a new dashcam that started recording in Baton Rouge and all the way until I stopped in New Orleans. There are 10 minutes missing from the footage when I checked. Guess where I was when the 3 cameras all didn't record?

Lastly, this past Halloween when the veil is thinnest between physical and metaphysical there were a series of events that still freak me out. I had driven that night and got home at 1:15 am. At 1:35 am I get a notification saying "Your Incident Report is Ready". In the vent of a car accident while the car is parked the camera will send an incident report to my email so I can send it to the insurance company.
Top speed: 36 mph and it included this video still of from the camera. What do you see?

https://preview.redd.it/s2qjmcxmwd3b1.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2ffde514b55fd7c9be0aaabee38962359da9098f
The next morning I had another incident report. No video this time, but this was the route taken (this is from my google location history)

https://preview.redd.it/3ozm5juowd3b1.jpg?width=2893&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=308fdbc6a80932e5511c5252e158e215d470d186
I spoke with a shaman after that who said he believed that the activity that night was trying to get attention to the area. That the zig zagging through buildings that seems to indicate the parking lot next to the Eliza Jane as something the spirit world wanted to have looked at. My friend who sent me to the shaman believes there is something from Ruddock responsible.

Do you have any information/stories/lore/experiences about Ruddock? It's frankly the scariest place I have ever been and I think it is some kind of superhighway to hell. There have been so many deaths there. That energy has stained that entire stretch of nothingness for a century at least if not more. Highway 55 was built in the 40s/50s if memory serves. WHY would you put an exit for a ghost town on the highway? What's the history? What's going on in the Manchac Swamp?

2023.06.01 09:52 SvenHudson [TotK] [SPOILERS] Taking things in this game at face value.

Everybody's knee-jerk reaction to this game on here seems to be trying to fix it by saying a bunch of stuff isn't what it says it is so that the stories they're familiar with are set in stone.
Instead, I want to try saying the things in this game are what it says they are: Rauru is Rauru, Ganondorf is Ganondorf, the Imprisoning War is the Imprisoning War.
There is frankly a lot of material in this game that lines up with a straightforward interpretation. Landmarks of the past have a conspicuous resemblance to Ocarina of Time's landmarks. Events have a conspicuous resemblance to its events.
There are differences, too, but I think analyzing those differences is far more compelling than simply pointing at them and announcing that they are different. Retellings of stories often change details, add or remove things at the teller's whim. So instead of the conventional fandom idea of canon where each new story is truer than the last if they ever contradict, we could treat this series of self-proclaimed legends like there's possibly an underlying truer version of events that we can identify through parallels; our understanding of the "truth" (or at least "original story") is then fuzzier where things contradict between stories and clear where they align and there's a lot of room for personal interpretation in between.
That feels, to me, like what this newest game is asking us to do when it so deliberately invokes past game's stories in altered forms.
For example: In the first telling of the Imprisoning War, the seven sages were seven human men, one of them oddly short. In the second telling, they were a diverse group of fantasy races of varying ages and genders. And now in this third telling, the composition of the group is different once again. So the particulars of who was in this group are fuzzy, the particulars that there were some humans and a goron and a zora feel more solid than whether there were zonai or kokiri mixed in, but the number seven is very solid, as is their imprisoning of Ganon.
So let's ask some questions that this game raises.
Let's look at a big difference between the first and third tellings to start with: the location of Ganon's imprisonment. (The second is also different but doesn't matter in the context of this conversation because it's explicitly an alternate resolution rather than a different interpretation of the same resolution.)
In the first telling, Ganon was sealed in the Sacred Realm, the alternate dimension which is the home of the Triforce, which he had corrupted into the Dark World by the time the game begins. The Dark World as seen in the game is an darker version of the regular world the hero comes from, geographically largely identical (right down to the location of the only known populated village in each world) but all-around less friendly to traverse and populated with stronger monsters. Ganon has human followers that live there. Though Ganon isn't yet able to escape the Dark World, he is entirely able to send a out a puppet being called Agahnim to the home world to further his goals and, generally speaking, his evil is said to be seeping into the home world from the Dark World. Many portals in the home world exist that can transport one to the Dark World but they only work one way and it can only be re-exited by the hero due to a magic mirror he luckily happens to own.
In this third telling, Ganondorf is trapped in the Depths, a giant cave system underneath Hyrule. The depths are almost entirely pitch black, geographically near identical to the surface (but with verticality of surfaces inverted so mountains become canyons and vice versa), there are ruins of ancient settlements in the same relative location as contemporary above-ground settlements, the terrain is much more hostile than above, and the monsters that live there are empowered by Ganondorf's magical bad vibes. The humans you find down there are a roguish cult dedicated to supporting Ganondorf. Though Ganondorf does not yet seem able to escape the depths, he is entirely able to send out a puppet version of Zelda (and clones of himself) to the surface world to further his goals, all the while his potent gloom is seeping into the surface more and more. The Depths are entered by jumping into a chasm you can never climb back out of, and the only way to exit the Depths is the hero's unique ability to teleport out or use a magical ability to tunnel up through columns to the ceiling.
It's entirely possible that these two settings are two interpretations of the same place. Is it actually an alternate dimension? Is it actually a cave? Are they both kinda right? Both kinda wrong?
Perhaps the story told before had conflated the Sacred Realm and the Dark World into a singular location when they're actually two separate but related locations. What world is darker than the Depths? What land is more golden than the islands in the sky with their yellow grass and tree leaves? According to Skyward Sword, the Triforce's home was found in the sky, so the sky being what LttP's backstory called the Sacred Realm could track.
So perhaps the Dark World never was the Sacred Realm exactly but it was, instead, the other half of the same overall territory, historically populated by the same god-like beings but having always been dark, though still corrupted by Ganon's presence.
And could the Depths be more places, yet? Could they be Termina, accessed by falling into a horrifically deep chasm, Link rushing past floating lights in a black void on his way down? Could they be Lorule, a dark and hostile parallel world accessed through cracks in the earth?
On that subject, Lorule had its own separate Triforce set from Hyrule meaning Link Between Worlds's two titular worlds have six Triforces between them. I didn't mention this before but another difference between this telling and prior ones is the relic Ganon is fighting for: in prior tellings it was the Triforce and in this new story it's the Secret Stones. Are the Secret Stones a new interpretation of Triforces, then? There are six Secret Stones in Tears of the Kingdom (technically seven but one is a time-travel duplicate of another so it doesn't count), just as there are six Triforces in Link Between Worlds.
Zonai fashion shows an interest in similarly aligned triangles in their clothes that Link can wear; each ceremonial dragon-themed outfit as well as the archaic tunic has nine triangles arranged in two rows. Why nine when I've been talking about the number six, you ask? Those who consume a Zonai Secret Stone become an immortal dragon. Despite that all six of the Secret Stones are accounted for in Tears of the Kingdom's present day, there are also three immortal dragons. Seemingly, then, there were nine original Secret Stones, neatly matching the recurring motif of nine triangles to represent them.
Perhaps the Enneaforce is real, or perhaps these two stories just disagree about which of multiple separate types of magical relic Ganondorf was after and we're meant to interpret the world as having both Triforces and Secret Stones. Because, like, they're not not Sage Medallions, either: there's also known to be six of those and they're even linked directly to the Sages.
If Rauru is indeed a Zonai as this game portrays him, making the royal family in all post-Rauru stories part Zonai, this makes the subject of ears worth examining in some other games.
According to Link to the Past, the Hylian people are said to have magic-infused blood and abnormally long and pointed ears, said to make them better able to communicate with the gods. In the game itself, some human characters have long, pointed ears and some have more rounded ears like real people do. Also in the game itself, some long-eared characters are shown to be capable of telepathy.
And the series continues for a long time in this vein, games consistently have a mix of characters with pointy elf ears and roundy human ears that are presumably Hylian and non-Hylian, respectively.
The only time after Link to the Past it's called to attention, though, is Wind Waker: Ganondorf, searching for Hyrule's princess, has instructed his giant bird to abduct girls with long, pointed ears.
As of Breath of the Wild, suddenly all non-Gerudo humans are called Hylians and all humans, including Gerudo, have elf ears. Also as of Breath of the Wild, there's an indication that Hylians these days are no longer capable of telepathy: if offering to use your "brain powers" to signal Yunobo during the Death Mountain ascent, he'll comment that he heard that used to be a thing but didn't think Hylians could do that anymore. If we look in terms of difference from the general population rather than just the visual, this indicates that Hylians have lost the trait of having bigger and pointier ears and also lost the ears' associated magic.
But now in Tears, the first thing Zelda says when she sees a depiction of a Zonai is "holy fuck, look at their giant ears".
I think the clear takeaway of this is that what earlier games called Hylian is different from what Breath and Tears call Hylian: in older stories the "Hylians" were human/zonai hybrids but in these newer ones the name is basically synonymous with Hyrulean and there's just not enough zonai DNA left in their hybrid descendants to have any observable effect anymore.
That Ancient Hero you can morph into after completing all the shrines who "saved Hyrule in the past" and doesn't appear to be any known character? Maybe people who looked like him are what "Hylian" used to mean. Maybe he's this game's interpretation of another game's Link, when he's being displayed in a story where zonai are depicted as dragon-people instead of how Rauru looked in Ocarina of Time.
I have more thoughts I could ramble about but eventually I have to sleep so I'll shut up for now.
Interrogate my shit, share your own shit, whatever you're into. I'm just desperate to see any actual discussion of this game's lore instead of reflexive attempts to dismiss it.

2023.06.01 09:50 BindaJD What are the ecological impacts of floods?

Floods generally cause disasters for humans, such as the flooding of the lower Yellow and Ganges rivers, which causes huge losses. However, there are also floods that can be beneficial, such as the regular flooding of the Nile, which brings large amounts of fertile sediment to the lower delta plains and facilitates agricultural production.
Floods, especially those of a smaller and more frequent nature, may bring benefits such as the replenishment of groundwater and the enrichment of the soil by increasing its nutrient content.
Floods can even bring much-needed water resources to arid and semi-arid areas where rainfall is very unevenly distributed throughout the year.
Flooding in freshwater areas is particularly important for maintaining ecosystems in river corridor areas and is also very important for maintaining biodiversity in riverine areas. Floods can also transport nutrients to lakes and rivers, thereby increasing biomass and improving fisheries for many years.

https://preview.redd.it/x13a8m3j2d3b1.jpg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=53daecdfc6ee8b01e131cf0758602a5313700cd0
For some fish, flooded river floodplains have the potential to create very suitable spawning grounds, reducing the presence of predators and increasing food and nutrition. Fish use flooding to move to new habitats.
Bird populations also expand as a result of the increased food brought by flooding. Periodic floods were a boon to the development of ancient civilizations on the banks of some of the great rivers, such as the two river basins, the Nile, the Indus, the Ganges and the Yellow River basins.
However, floods have a harmful impact on humans, flooding houses and populations and causing a large number of casualties. Floods also sweep away all goods from human settlements, resulting in substantial economic losses.
In addition, floods inundate agricultural land, destroying crops and causing significant reductions in food production, leading to famine. In addition, floods can damage factories, plants, communication and transport facilities. In addition, floods can cause landslides, mudslides and epidemics.
Therefore, the construction of a well-developed flood warning system in flood-prone areas is conducive to timely measures to cope with the arrival of floods, minimize property damage and protect human lives.

2023.06.01 05:22 Avatarkrishna Title: The Third Eye' s Vision

I did not know it would take me 3 days to write 3-4 pages. It was time to shed the skin of uncertainty, and embrace depth of field, and 3 dimensional characters, and sense of professionalism. Enough time was wasted in uncertainty and procrastination.:
Title: The Third Eye' s Vision Author: Das, Krishna Chandra
Section 1 done on may 19 of 2023
Section 1 of Chapter 1:"Birthright's Mantle, Outcast's Shackles: The Opus of Nirvaaṇa"
Section 1 of Chapter 1:"Birthright's Mantle, Outcast's Shackles: The Opus of Nirvaaṇa"
(Beginning of Page 1)
(Character monologue)
Credits. Credits. Credits. The almighty and powerful Credits... The all-powerful Universal Credits: for a share of which we are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice. With unwavering dedication, I assume a tranquil meditation pose, directing my thoughts towards the inner realms, where my focused mind connects with the ethereal vision of my third eye. Through this heightened state of awareness, I have clandestinely observed and meticulously absorbed the whispered conversations and subtle nuances of numerous gatherings on various occasions within this mothership.
Some humanoids had invested their life savings in renting a ship to join a fleet and gain access to strategic extraction sites. Those less fortunate purchased a share of a ship with ten other crewmates, agreeing to receive a percentage of the profits. Speaking of shares, the mothership claimed a 40 percent cut from each fleet, providing flawless protection, efficient travel time, and unlimited food from its internally built vivarium. All in exchange for a share of the Universal Credits, the currency that governs our worlds.
I could write endless pages defining the term universal-credits. However, there was a time when I despised such material attachments. I was content in my dim and dreary cave. Over time, though, desperation grew from poverty, intimidation, and sorrow. Perhaps now, materialism has seeped into my/our minds, intertwining with our breath and life force. Given the current risky conditions of deep space, we are willing to risk our lives for a taste of the almighty Universal Credits.
As I delve deeper into thought experiments of risks and rewards, my mind becomes flooded with unwanted negative thoughts. Horrific news and rumors dominate my consciousness. Amongst many, one piece of news is particularly disturbing and recent. Despite deep meditations, I cannot pinpoint the source of this dark presence even with my third eye. Perhaps it is a synthetic species or an unknown race echoing the sirens of death, destruction, and doom. These rumors always make me sick. Recently, there has been an abundance of them. On the day of our great embarkment, a tip circulated claiming that an unknown source emitted a red flare, simultaneously annihilating five motherships with one single slash. Allegedly, this powerful flare not only disintegrates objects it touches but reduces them to nothingness by a rapid continual process of subatomic level evaporation.
The Vidyadhaaras, the fortunate ones, have been sanctioned by all other humanoids. In return, they have responded with an iron curtain, promising annihilation or enslavement to any species that ventures into their space. I am no expert on ethics, but one thing is certain: the Vidyadhaaras race are exceptionally fortunate. Some possess an extra third hand and naturally gemstones studded body at birth, and most are born with unlimited credit encoded in their DNA, in the form of a wish-fulfilling stone.
The dark blue-skinned manus of Shha-taM.Bha-gyaṃ display cunning charisma in these high-risk, high-reward expeditions. Yesterday, one boisterous, sapphire-backed individual, fueled by intoxicating beverages, rambled on about the statistical probabilities. In his mind, there was a red line in the depths of space, where the chances of falling into flare of nothingness stood at 60 percent. Yet, he believed the rewards outweighed the risks.
Section 2: Chapter 1:"Birthright's Mantle, Outcast's Shackles: The Opus of Nirvaaṇa"
MAY 25, 2023
(Beginning of Section 2)
The perplexed humanoid novices were both pitiful and at times detestable. I often paid little attention to their groups, always distancing myself from them, I even practiced precise isolation from stepping into the very shadows they cast, as they aimlessly scurried around the mothership, displaying a blatant state of confusion. Despite the well-lit corridors, hallways, and communal areas, they seemed utterly clueless about their next destination. With their invisible novice insignia proudly worn, they unwittingly attracted one another, creating an amusing spectacle of automated alliances, like molecular compounds.
Unfortunately, a significant portion of these individuals would never have the opportunity to find out the hidden areas and witness the marvels of the state-of-the-art artificial biomes, a place perfectly suited to shield one's gaze from their juvenile countenances. Sadly, for most of them, a grim fate awaited. I can’t protect everyone; I can’t protect each individual. It is a sad fact.
(End of character's monologue)
The dark-skinned Rudra eventually ended his inner monologue in mumbling with a long sigh. At last, he slowly opened his eyes to transition respectfully from sacred meditation to reality, moving cautiously from his meditative state to reality state. In fact, it was a sign of respect to his meditation, his life long practice. By employing simple breathing techniques, which included deep inhalation, holding the breath until reaching an uncomfortable limit, and exhaling deeply. Therefore, he repeatedly practiced the same sequence that awakened his mastery of meditation, from his very young age.
The Rudra then drank from his golden water flask, only after clearing his throat by gurgling five times once, in his customary manner. Then, he uttered the syllable 'svaa-dhaa' and dropped a portion of water on the ground as a mark of respect to his forefathers. He often mumbled similarly, whenever he entered a partial meditative state during eavesdropping; and other universal exploration through his ethereal visions, with the aid of his third eye. When he remained silent during meditation, it simply meant he was deeply immersed in self-exploration during his profound meditative state. In between deep and partial meditation, he only uttered varied two sacred syllables that held deep meaning in his culture, the Rudrakind culture.
The dark-skinned Rudra was dressed in a loincloth, decided to plunge into the artificial lake of the artificial lust rainforest biome. The rainforest biome extended enough to create horizon between artificial lights and ceiling. The intense hot and humid climate was perfectly soothing for his race. The Rudra felt rejuvenated to maximum. It was covered with towering trees, lush vegetation, and a rich diversity of plant and animal species. It receives ample rainfall, creating a humid and moist environment that supports the growth of limited species. Within this captivating biome, the intricate web of life thrives in a symphony of colors, sounds, and interconnected relationships. Furthermore, it was the source of vivarium, which caused abundance of food for the mass mothership dwellers.
The Rudra submerged his body in the crystal-clear water while observing the gathering of Quaziriths in the distance, near the lush formation of natural juice producing flowers and plants. As he massaged his muscular body, he displayed a wide and medium physique, attractive and handsome, with dreadlocked hair on the reflection of clear water. Occasionally, he touched his forehead and adjusted his red hairband to cool off his forehead. Although he detested wearing the headband, it was for his own security, to conceal his racial identity. He continued to observe the gathering of two-legged birds called the Quaziriths, which had beautiful golden feathers and were devoid of eyes. They surveyed their surroundings with the aid of their flapping wings through their ethereal and sonar perceptions. Furthermore, their flapping wings creating an eye-pleasing luminescent display even more gracefully in sunlight. With their long tongues, they sucked nectar from flowers and juices flowing from fallen fruits scattered on the ground, it was their daily routine. At one point, some of them began to quarrel, which made the Rudra chuckle with a strong negative sigh.
The quarrels of Quaziriths reminded him of his own Rudrakind, evoking a sense of envy toward the Quaziriths, that led to another deep, humming sigh withdrawn from him. In contrast, here Quaziriths were welcomed with open arms, yet his Rudrakind were not. He did not belong here legally.
As Rudra, 37 years old, expert at pondering, delved deep into his mind, he remembered his home planet name Ugra-loka, which was breathtaking from sunset until dawn. During the scorching afternoons, they sought shelter in their caves as the intense heat and contrast made them angry and uncontrollable in environments outside of caves. The Rudrakind were naturally born with a blissful and destructive "third eye" and practiced asceticism throughout their lives. They were content with small portions of food, as they practiced always controlling their senses. The mastery of the third demanded outmost priority. The children who did not obey such rules were outcasted in extremely remote places. In the event that they may cause extreme destructions. The fact is, only fraction of their children opened their third eye, prematurely before the age of sixteen.
The Rudrakind resided in cool caves that provided access to crystal-clear water, pouring out from complex inner spring systems. During the intense heat of the season, they ventured into more intricate underground cave levels, which even extended twenty levels downward, it had been built by their ancestors throughout many generations. Beyond the twenty level, there were only impenetrable rocks.
The Rudrakind practiced agriculture in open fields and sunbeam caves, where perfect sunlight seeped through cracks, creating a beautiful environment. The sunbeam caves where they also kept their pure red glowing cattle. The Rudras were non carnivorous. Therefore, they did not eat their cattle. In defiance some new generation of clans practiced carnivorism due to scarcity of foods, which justified their actions. The pure followers could go on for days with just drinking water.
The sunbeam caves held the utmost sanctity for the Rudrakind as they represented extraordinary and otherworldly environments. According to ancient beliefs, the sunbeam caves were shaped by the divine gaze of their almighty creator. The open sky within these caves symbolized the escape of sacred smoke from lit altars. Childrens and females drew sacred two-word syllables around the contour of sunbeam with chalks on the ground. At these altars, they would offer portions of their edible resources or sometimes non-edible valuable possessions as a tribute to their almighty creator and forefathers. Surprisingly, they could not recall the name of their creator, nor did they possess the knowledge of the sacred collections of their cherished short syllables, all of which were communicated in pairs of two syllables. Certain ancient declarations asserted with certainty that the combination of these unknown short syllables constituted the names of their long-forgotten god.
Over time, as indifference grew among the hierarchies within the Rudrakind, divisions between clans, and the destructive acts of superpowers flaunting their superiority, the values of their ancient culture were eroded, leading to mass extinctions of their race. Even today, some Rudras continue to engage in internal conflicts, driven by a lingering thirst for vengeance fueled by an unforgivable past. Therefore, it was too easy to forgive the past and shake hands through diplomacy. Consequently, it is disturbing to witness recently how few resorted to primitive weapons such as stones and pickaxes, equipped with handles made of strong superdense alloy, forged from the heat of their very third eye’s beam with great precision. However, they refrained from employing their beam of dissolution to crisp one another. The use of such power against their own kind was considered a highly demeaning act, resulting in complete disownment by all Rudrakind clans.
Amidst these ongoing events in Ugraloka, the Rudra in ritualistic bathing process, noticed a male and female Quazirith gracefully separating themselves from the flock, away from the quarrel. The male possessed a vibrant green emerald beak, while the female exhibited a naturally formed rose quartz stone. The pirates, often driven by their insatiable desires, extracted these rose quartz stones and sold them at exorbitant prices on the shadow market, only after indulging in the savoring consumption of Quazirith meat. However, none dared to abduct female Rudras, who possessed the power to reduce their enemies to ashes with their fiery abilities.
The Rudra continued with his ritualistic bathing process, all the while observing the Quazirith couple. Memories of his fiancée, Astrondra, flooded his mind, and he whispered her name, his voice choked with longing and accompanied by frequent pauses. Astrondra possessed remarkable control over her soft voice, complemented by a well-developed physique and an array of facial and hand expressions, her true complexion reminiscent of a chocolate cherry cat's eye. The Rudra yearned to protect her and whisk her away from the planet Ugraloka, despite the circumstances that labeled him, his Rudrakind, and the Vidyadhaaras as dangerous; they were ordered to remain within their own respective system. In fact, their mere presence instilled fear in other humanoid species, leaving none feeling secure.
In contrast, the Vidyadhaaras enjoyed access to numerous habitable planets teeming with taiga and rainforest biomes. Moreover, aided by infinite reserves of Quantumite, they effortlessly traversed their system with remarkable ease. Not to mention their wish-fulfilling stones, inherent to their very being. In fact, these stones granted them the power to manipulate any physical environment, traverse realms, and create inorganic objects at will—without even requiring Quantumite. However, they chose to refrain from extensively utilizing their all-powerful birthright stones, as such usage shortened their overall lifespan. However, this Vidyadhaaras being wouldn’t shelter his kind nor his beloved.
The most peaceful and beautiful beings with blue-posterior skin from the planet Shha-taM!' Bha-gyaṃ stood as the only reliable refuge for the Rudrakind; only if any race could prove their F'aay-doma to their supreme leader, the Manukind will welcome them with open arms. He envisioned a prosperous future for his fiancée Astrondra in that mentioned planet and his yet to be born progeny, with the assistance of his humanoid friends possessing lapis lazuli posterior- who were known as the main founder of shadow market.
At the age of 37, this Rudra had traversed a remarkable journey, eventually finding his place aboard this mothership, his spaceship is one of the hundred vessels comprising the Shha-taM!' Bha-gyaṃ fleet. His banner proudly displayed the perfectly aligned seven moons of Shha-taM!' Bha-gyaṃ, further solidifying his influence. As he had proved his F'aay-doma to these humanoid inhabitants, none among the Manukind would ever dare to unveil his racial identity. He had become the captain of his own spaceship, which was a testament to his accomplishments and the acceptance he had gained through his F'aay-doma achievement.

2023.06.01 05:12 RegalLegalEagle Made of Mud

Based on a Dream
FDF Resolute, Sanctum Class Battlecruiser, en route to NT-2125 deep Fringe.
Mary had been rather intrigued by the concept of an observation deck on a ship. Curator ship designs didn’t even have windows let alone a whole deck. Yet, deck seemed a bit of a grand exaggeration now that she was standing in the room with the large window dominating one wall. The room was empty aside from herself. Though there were tables and chairs enough to fit a few dozen people easily. No doubt it was more in use if the ship should be hosting dignitaries over some important planet, or picturesque astronomical feature. En route to NT-2125 however they were instead enveloped in the Ink, a sight no one seemed keen on viewing.
Her education had of course touched on the existence of the Ink, but that was about it. She had no idea how it really was used to facilitate FTL travel. What she did know, now that she was looking at it, was that it was rather unpleasant to look at. She had seen purest black. The concept of looking at entirely nothing but a void was fine with her.
The Ink however… While she watched it slowly move around before her eyes it was like a vast ocean of some kind. An ocean of… incredible depth. When she had first stepped into the room and seen it dominating the large window she had thought it to be a mixture of blues, purples, and blacks. But the longer she watched the bubbles and lines slowly moving around she wasn’t sure if she were seeing color at all. Maybe she was seeing not the absence of light, but something opposite to it. As if the Ink gave off… anti-light.
She had no basis for this thought of course. No training, education, or experience to make her believe it was a real thing. Yet, if matter had anti-matter why couldn’t light have anti-light? After all the longer she looked the more if felt like she wasn’t really seeing anything. Nothing real anyway. More like… if she closed her eyes and rubbed against the eyelids and saw the attempts of her brain understand the shadows. Then there was the thought maybe she really was seeing something. Something just under the waves of its vast deep ocean of anti-light. After all, what was causing it to move? Were the waves, ripples, and bubbles purely random? Or was there something making it move?
As unpleasant as her line of thinking was, at least watching it gave her some small alone time on the otherwise crowded vessel. It also gave her an excuse to keep her headset muted. She would much rather deal with staring out at a vast ocean of anti-light than listen to the ship around her at this point. Yet, the moment she began to consider that she saw a flash in the bottom of her vision. Door opening. With a flick she started the program to let her headset gradually increase volume as her ears began to work again.
First sound, click of hard heel on metallic decking. Second sound, sharp intake of breath likely indicating surprise, anxiety, unease, or combination. Third sound, a tongue flicking against teeth before making a disapproving sucking sound. Fourth sound, fabric on fabric rubbing was very low and soft indicating luxury stitching and material. “Hello Director Obli.”
“Translator.” Came the curt reply, though said at a perfectly reasonable volume for normal speaking Mary winced a bit. Going from total silence to even the muted sounds she was getting now was rough at times. Especially as more just kept building. Even at this low level the sound of the ships began to return to her. The groan of metal, the hum of electricity, the distant murmur of people going about their tasks. She had no idea what she’d do without the headset to at least partially mute the world around her.
“Your bodyguards aren’t joining us?” Mary glanced over at the Huul’Rav in his custom suit. She couldn’t see his guards, but she could hear them just outside. She recognized Hrue from his breathing pattern, as smoking had done a number on his lungs. Based on the jingle of grenade tabs the other was Juul.
“If the Curators wanted me dead I highly doubt they’d create you just for the task. They’re more than powerful enough to have no need for subtlety or subterfuge.” Even though the director was talking to her he was looking out the window at the Ink. She could see the disdain on his face rather obviously. A hand moving up to nervously brush his furry chin, even as he tilted his horns side to side.
While he seemed focused on the Ink her mind returned to his curious comment. Did the Curators need to employ subterfuge? Of course they were powerful, but surely there was also use in subterfuge. Regardless, she had not been sent to kill the Director. Or anyone for that matter. She had no training in combat or related topics. He seemed to also be thinking about this though as he looked at her. “You aren’t here to kill me right?”
“No. I’m not here to kill you or anyone else.” She assured him. “I’m just here to facilitate communications during the negotiations.”
“It is curious though. Why the Custodians sent anyone at all…” He trailed off and while she was about to answer he turned and spoke first. “Actually do you mind if we talk somewhere else?” At the end his eyes darted to the window and the swirl of the Ink beyond.
“Certainly.” She nodded, and gestured to the door letting him go first.
“I appreciate it.” He commented and even as he stepped through the door Hrue stepped in front of him to lead, while Juul stepped up behind Mary to follow. “I will admit it spoils my plans a bit. I wanted to talk with you in private a little. But uh… I do not particularly enjoy looking at the Ink.” She could hear his breathing pattern change just being in the hallway, out of sight of the swirling anti-light.
“I’m sure we can find privacy elsewhere. Though I am unsure what kind of private chat you would like. I’m here strictly as a neutral party to facilitate negotiations.” She reminded him.
“As you’ve said many times.” Obli waved off her remark. “Anyway, since you’re new to this sort of thing I just want to introduce you to my underling since you’ll be working for him during the start of the talks.”
Mary frowned at this sudden revelation. “First, I don’t work for you, or your subordinate. I-”
“Are a neutral translator provided by the Curators.” He waved her off again as they walked. All around her she could hear the ship and its crew going about keeping the ship alive as it were. It was an older vessel and every creak and groan of stressed metal, or electrical spark continued to heighten her anxiety. She could not wait to get off this vessel and onto a planet. “I meant work for him in a more metaphorical sense. I know you likely expected to work with me throughout these talks but it’s just not how labor talks to management. They don’t get to start by talking to a Director. They’ll start with someone just important enough to garner attention but with no real power. If he fails, I swoop in and save things. If he succeeds I get to take credit in the end and talk about how I knew he was the man for the job.”
The further they walked from the observation deck and the Ink the more confident and in fact arrogant Obli got. She wasn’t particularly keen on his behavior but she had at least grown accustomed to it on the trip so far. “Why then did you spend most of this trip testing my abilities as a translator?”
“Because I was trying to figure out your angle.” He replied with a glance back over his shoulder as they reached a lift. The four of them filtered into it before Juul hit the button for the hangar deck.
“I don’t have an angle. I was instructed to come here and facilitate-” She began but he yet again waved her off.
“Neutral yes yes. But why? We’ve never needed nor requested Curator assistance for anything like this. We have a proven history of successfully ending labor disputes and organization efforts. So why have the curators bothered to send you? Shouldn’t you be trying to help keep the FDF from falling apart? Or spreading the word of the Curators to the masses or something? That is something they do right? Proselytize?” Mary was fairly confident Obli tried to be dismissive about the Curators just to make himself more comfortable. It was a minor enough annoyance to overlook. Though she wondered if it actually helped ease his fragile ego.
“The Curators do not proselytize no. They have no need. They exist. They act. They do not need the approval of others, nor belief in their correctness. I am here because I have been ordered to be here. I was told I must assist in negotiating between the belligerent parties on NT-2125 and observe the outcome. That is all. If the Curators have a deeper reason for sending me here I do not know it.” While she spoke she could already hear Obli clicking his tongue in disapproval. Hrue was trying, and failing, to breathe quietly. Juul was running her hand over a smooth metallic object in her right pocket, slowly turning it over.
“I know you are flesh and blood, but you’re more like your creators than I find comforting.” Obli very bluntly commented.
“I do not exist for your comfort.” Mary pointedly replied, which made Obli click his tongue in disapproval once more. By that point the lift stopped and the doors opened. The rush of sound from the hangar deck made her wince a moment as she had to deal with the sudden volume as she lowered her headset sensitivity.
“I don’t think you exist for your own comfort either.” Obli remarked, now smirking a little at her obvious discomfort. There was little she could do but cast a glare in his direction as the pain subsided and the sounds took on a more muted level. Looking out across the hangar she could see dozens of people moving around and working on the ship’s complement of shuttles, and fighters. No one was expecting combat, but that didn’t stop the captain from preparing anyway. While she was told most of the machinery operated at frequencies most species couldn’t hear it always gave her a headache to be around so many buzzing, grinding, churning machines.
“Regardless.” Obli continued. “I want to make it clear I have been authorized to extend to the Curators our most sincere intent to be friends. If there is anything we can do to make your job more comfortable let me know. And if you see fit to pass on anything you hear from the labor organizers direct compensation is on offer.”
“I am here as a neutral party.” She reminded him yet again. But he just spread his hands and smiled.
“We’re willing to pay for even what you would consider banter and gossip. Anything you hear. My subordinate is also authorized to compensate you but I’d prefer a direct copy.” He held out an encryption cylinder. While she had no intention of passing along anything she did take it. It might be useful for other reasons.
“I don’t have a bank account, you know. Or any credits.” When she told him this he looked entirely confused. “I am not paid for my efforts. Curators do not use currency of any kind. Resources are simply provided as needed.”
Director Obli’s look of pure disgust was even more obvious than when he’d been in the observation deck. “And here I thought they were civilized… But it’s then all the more important for you to start building up your own nest egg!” He began to pull a credit chip from his pocket but she waved him off.
“I’m not chipped nor do I have a slate.” This time he scoffed and looked confused even as he held it out.
“You can take the whole thing. How do you expect to pay for anything on the planet without credits?” He seemed genuinely baffled.
“I don’t expect to pay for anything on the planet. Your company has extended their most sincere intent to be friends after all.” As she tilted her head a little while looking at him Obli just snorted.
“Ah… This is why my assistant was babbling about an expense waiver. Yes… There are limits to it, you know. Food, drink, necessities only.” Mary just stared at him until he finally sighed and tucked the credit chip back into his pocket. “Fine. It’s best for you to go change now then, the shuttle will be leaving as soon as we hit real space.”
She was wondering why he’d brought her here directly. “And why am I changing?”
“Well, you can go as you are if you like. But this isn’t a Curator ship. The Resolute has to drop further away from the planet so the shuttle will be in space to close the gap to the planet. And, I mean clearly Curator tech never breaks or has any accidents but our poor mortal hands make poor mortal vessels.” Obli spread his hands as if to highlight his own soft, well manicured hands.
“Fine.” While her suit wasn’t as comfortable as her normal clothes she didn’t intend on being the only one killed by some sort of accident on the way to the planet. It would set a terrible precedent. So she walked away from Obli and his guards then towards the hangar’s locker room.
As she strode across the deck, stepping over fuel and coolant lines she tried to make some sense of the mass of sound around her. Obli no doubt thought she was beyond earshot when he spoke to his guards. “Strange bird. Easy on the eyes though.”
Hrue cleared his throat a moment to reply in a gravely, raspy voice. “Think the Curators made her to be attractive to most species somehow? Robot magic or something?”
“I don’t know. Maybe. I still don’t know why they sent anyone at all. I don’t trust those damned machines.” Obli replied. She had expected this sort of reaction. It was in line with their comments during the trip.
Other than that most of the technicians, mechanics, and pilots moving around the hangar seemed much more focused on their work than anything else. Grumblings about the captain’s standards, and an apparent lack of spare parts. Based on the overall comments it seemed to be more about not wanting to do so much work rather than serious concerns over abilities to keep ships functional. Or so she hoped.
Once in the locker room she made her way to the back where a special case had been installed for her suit. While she would have preferred to travel on a Curator vessel she was glad to at least get a Curator suit. They didn’t have many organics, but the suits they made for her and the other Lifted were absolutely the best in terms of survivability, durability, and protection. Just not… comfort.
Since the locker room seemed to be empty she quickly stripped down, setting aside the encryption cylinder Obli had given her. For a moment she examined herself, along the deep red feathers of her head and neck, gradually turning to a sunburst yellow down her torso, and finally a rich deep blue along her legs and tail. Did species find her attractive? If the Curators had intended for this they likely would have included it in her training surely. Must just be Obli and his guards.
Stepping up to the Curator case she hit the activation button and then held perfectly still as the case opened, arms moving out to begin affixing the suit to her body. First she felt the snap of metal rings around her ankles, wrists, neck, hips, and ribs before the rest of the exoskeleton was built up around it. Then came the cool mesh of the inner suit pulled up underneath it and against her feathers. Next was the composites slotted into the outside, layered and overlapped for maximum coverage. Finally she prepared herself for the final step as two hoses connected to the metal collar around her neck. She hated this part.
When the liquid began to pump into the lining between the mesh and the composite layer it was ice cold and caused her to gasp and shudder as it filled in. It took a few minutes while she tried to carefully control her breathing and push past the cold. Once it was finally full the suit activated and the liquid turned solid, controlled by the sophisticated Curator chip in her skull. Her temperature quickly began to return to normal now and she took a slow deep breath in relief before taking the helmet the case offered last.
She refrained from putting the helmet on yet though, it wasn’t quite big enough for her taste and always rubbed her eartips. Walking back out into the hangar she could feel the suit somewhat flowing around her movements. It would turn liquid to move, then solid when it didn’t need to. She was also told it would go selectively rigid to deflect projectiles. A feature she hoped to never test.
Looking around a moment she saw Obli near the closest shuttle, speaking to someone wearing an executive pattern suit. Luxurious and comfortable, but she’d prefer the Curator suit in an emergency. Next to him was a human in a deep blue armored suit with steel accents. As she watched he draped a travel cloak over the shoulders of the suit. An interesting touch. Walking towards them she had to stop a moment to let a rumbling hangar tug pass. Several technicians rode in the back, carried to their next task.
Judging on the whine of the back left wheel she figured their next task might be to fix the tug itself. Either way she continued on up to Director Obli. “Translator. I’d like you to meet Kingus.” Obli gestured to the figure in the executive suit. Up close she could see through his helmet’s faceplate and examine the Nikvic inside. Rather stubby bone ridges. Rather young then for an executive.
“Translator.” He nodded to her.
“Kingus, it’s nice to meet you. My name is Mary, though translator is just fine as well.” She took an amicable approach for now.
“Yes. This is my bodyguard, Eli.” He gestured to the human next to him, who made for an imposing figure in his armor. With his helmet in place the steel visor reflected a distorted reflection of herself back at her.
“Ma’am.” He nodded and extended a hand out from under his cloak. Shifting her helmet to her left hand she carefully reached out to shake his hand in return.
“Eli, it’s nice to meet you.” The first human she’d found in the employ of the company. Though she knew most of the problems on the planet were related to their human miners. Allegedly at least.
“Nice to meet you as well ma’am.” His shake was firm but not aggressive. “We should be ready shortly. They’re loading the last of some food supplies and then we’re waiting on the marines.”
“Food supplies… I don’t even know what we’re taking down there. Argyle is a full fledged city. The problems its facing are related to labor terrorists. Not famine.” Kingus mentioned with a huff.
“It’s likely my food.” Mary answered. “The Curators were unsure how long I would be here and sent me with a full complement of prepared meals.”
“Oh.” Kingus coughed lightly. “Well… that’s fine then. I wasn’t aware you had special dietary needs. But the marines at least should be here. What’s taking them so long?” He tried to deflect a little and looked around.
As if summoned by his complaint she saw a group of human soldiers approaching the shuttle. The few times she had seen soldiers so far they’d been in smart uniforms and moving with purpose and sharp specific gestures. These… did not look nearly so impressive. Or poised. Instead the group just walked casually towards them, in a mixture of armor sets. Most had a haphazard drab olive green coat of paint but much of it was chipped and worn. Not to mention much of it was also covered in writing, drawings, and decals that she doubted were officially sanctioned.
Only the man in the lead looked to be in a truly official uniform set of armor. “I’m Lieutenant Barrow. I assume this is the shuttle we want?”
“Barrow, this is Kingus our Executive Labor Liason.” Director Obli introduced them. “This is our translator Mary.”
“Never seen one of you before. What species are you?” Mary turned to look at the soldier who’d spoken to her. He was just next to the officer, and his armor looked particularly beat up. She also noticed signs of scorch marks in several places. Unlike the single smooth faceplate of Eli’s armor his helmet looked more like a scowling face with golden lenses in the eyes.
“I am not an official species. I was Lifted by the Curators to act as a translator.” She informed him directly.
“Interesting. So you’re a bird. But you’ve got ears. What’s with the headset?” He gestured up at it as she reflexively reached up with her free hand to touch the side.
“There was a slight miscalculation in my creation and I find most settings to be… uncomfortably loud. The headset is to regulate the volume of my surroundings to prevent damage and discomfort.” She explained.
“What… wait. The Curators made a translator who gets hurt by sound? Am I understanding that right?” Mary frowned at his comment.
“That’s somewhat reductive.” She tried to deflect.
“Is it wrong?” He pressed.
“It’s not entirely inaccurate.” Disparaging on the work of the Curators wasn’t something she was comfortable with.
“That’s a fancy way of saying I’m right. So your job, which is listening to things, actively hurts you. Man… sucks to be you.” A few of the other marines snickered and giggled behind him as Mary frowned.
“Gunny, that’s enough.” Barrow finally waved off the other marine.
“Where’s the rest of your company? And the Major?” Obli asked now, thankfully moving things along.
“Elsewhere. He said if you’re not going to the planet yet he doesn’t see a reason to go either. My platoon and I are sufficient at this time. Once you’re ready to head down then the rest of the company will deploy.” Barrow shrugged. “You send your flunkey first he sends his flunkey too.”
“We have concerns about possible terrorist strikes on civilians during the labor talks. Are you sure a platoon is really sufficient?” Kingus asked.
The officer sucked in a breath, likely about to answer but Gunny cut him off. “Isn’t it interesting. All across the fringe you corporate types like to talk about how safe and secure your mining colonies are. Biding everyone to bring their families and get to work. Yet, the moment a union starts to form you start screaming about terrorists and how you need the military to keep order.”
“Gunny.” The officer hissed at him. Gunny waved it off a moment as the officer cleared his throat. “Your own reports suggest corporate security is robust enough to secure the city. We have no intel to suggest any threats of terrorist strikes by the miners are really valid. A platoon will suffice for now. If the situation changes the rest of the company can deploy very quickly I assure you.”
“Fine. But remember just because the miners in question are human doesn’t mean you can give them free reign. The FDF and by extension the marines rely on our funding to keep functioning.” Kingus replied.
“You never let us fucking forget.” Gunny muttered that barely under his breath. Neither Kingus or Obli seemed to pick up on this but Mary did.
“Many species across the Fringe have been generous enough to accept many human refugees. We obviously seek a future of cooperation and mutual success. This is not about humans being singled out. They have been given the same rights and contracts as all other species who join our corporate family.” Director Obli smiled and spread his hands in a friendly gesture. “We ask only that you protect the talks because they’re so important to our continued wellbeing as united front here on the Fringe. The Tide comes for us all and we must be ready. Together.”
“Well said Director.” Kingus nodded in support.
“Fucking please…” Gunny muttered and made some sort of gesture with his fist making a pumping motion in front of his hips. From the reports the Curators had given her, really what it seemed like was the humans massively increased their productivity, but in exchange wanted better treatment from the various industrial consortiums. The executives like Obli enjoyed the productivity but felt treating them better would set a bad precedent.
Across the fringe however humans had been getting their way more often than not. NT-2125 was by far the biggest, most high profile case, but she didn’t imagine it would be anything special. “Yes, well, we are here to keep you safe and make sure no one kills anyone. On either side.” The officer assured them and then gestured at the shuttle. “Shall we?”
“Have a nice flight Translator. Remember to call me.” Obli smiled and nodded at her.
“I’m sure we’ll be in touch, Director.” She finally pulled her helmet up and on, feeling it settle into place with a click and a soft hiss at it pressurized. The very tips of her ears were lightly pressed in by the sides which was why she’d waited this long to put it on. The marines began to board the shuttle first, shuffling along rows in the center to get into seats with metal shoulder restraints that would help hold them in place.
“Hey, so you’re a Lifted? What do the Curators want you here for? What’s the deal?” Gunny asked as he waited near the back for the others to shuffle in.
“I am not at liberty at this time to discuss the Curators or their work.” Mary’s forehead felt slightly warm as she answered him.
“Oh come on. There’s got to be something special the Curators want you here for.” Gunny insisted.
“I am not at liberty at this time to discuss the Curators or their work.” Mary’s forehead felt a bit warmer still.
“Gunny leave her alone.” Barrow instructed.
“C’mon why a translator at all? We’ve got earpieces! I’ve never seen a translator before, let alone a Curator one!” By now the other marines were seated and Mary began to shuffle up the row looking for a free seat.
“Ma’am you’ll need to take one of the jumpseats up front. These harnesses aren’t made for your Curator suit.” Barrow tapped one of the set of shoulder restraints. So she kept shuffling past the row of marines towards the front.
“I don’t rely on machine translation. I am fluent in over six hundred languages and forms of communication. I listen to all parties and ensure nothing is lost in translation.” She assured them.
“Only six hundred? I knew of a guy who was fluent in over six million forms of communication.” Gunny’s voice had a slightly different tone to it. Was he joking?
“Six million seems excessive. I assure you I am well trained for my job.” Now at the front of the shuttle she found the jumpseat in question. Yet, when she went to pull the seat down the dangerous whine and groan of the metal hinged did not inspire her with confidence. Still it was her mission so she settled into the seat and went about trying to figure out the harness.
Barrow approached her and pointed to the straps in order to help her out. “You’ll be fine. This is really just a precaution.” The Lieutenant nodded and gave her shoulder a pat. She smiled up at him then, her faceplate clear unlike their armor. It was thought to be better for non-verbal communication cues if people she spoke to could see her face. Kingus and Eli were the last to settle in seats nearby.
“Hey! Corpse!” Gunny called out as Eli settled into his seat and set the shoulder restraints with practiced ease.
“Excuse me?” Eli looked across the aisle at Gunny.
“You’re corporate security right? Corp-sec.” Gunny more carefully pronounced. But Mary was positive he hadn’t made a mistake earlier.
“I’m a private bodyguard. I work on contract.” Eli corrected him.
“Oh well anyway the fuck is with the cloak?” Gunny gestured at the deep blue cloak draped over Eli’s shoulders and body. “You’re in a suit right? Kind of the point of a space suit to be waterproof and somewhat heat proof and shit yeah? Kind of defeats the point of a cloak right? So what gives?”
“It’s about looking stylish. Something you clearly have no concept of Gunnery Sergeant.” Eli’s response seemed to take Gunny by surprise. The Gunny? Was Gunny a nickname or a title? Either way the marines around snickered and chuckled a bit though she could hear Gunny snort.
Barrow took the jumpseat next to her instead of one of the more secure seats. Possibly to help set her at ease. Which she appreciated. “So, Lieutenant. Do you expect this mission to be dangerous?”
“What? Protecting the talks? No. We’ve done this a few times so far. It’s pretty boring. No one has actually done anything. Usually there are some protests. Corp-sec shove people around. Both sides are upset. But no one dies. The talks advance. The miners get a bit more pay and benefits. Both sides are mutually annoyed with the other. And I’m sure in a few years it’ll all happen again.” Barrow shrugged and seemed entirely unconcerned.
“Don’t be so flippant.” Kingus said even as Barrow seemed to dismiss any concerns. “We’ve had some communications troubles from NT-2125. The work of labor agitators no doubt.”
“Communications troubles? Why are you telling us that now?” Barrow asked, showing some concern.
“I thought it was common knowledge?” Kingus sounded genuinely confused that Barrow was unaware of this. “Is it not? Executives on the ground have spoken of damaged communications systems, and delayed reports from outlying facilities.”
“Have there been delays in ore shipments? Or minerals or whatever?” Barrow asked.
“No. In fact due to our exemplary corporate structure we’re seeing increases across the board.” Kingus nodded, clearly proud of this fact.
“So… in your mind the labor agitators are breaking lines of communication. But not… the ore shipments which you find significantly more valuable?” Barrow asked, clearly not buying the idea.
“Don’t be complacent! Just because labor organizers have been rarely violent in the past doesn’t mean it will always be the case! I want your men on their highest alertness lieutenant!” Kingus stressed.
“Yes sir, I’ll be sure to pass that along.” Barrow assured him, even though Mary could tell by his tone that he had no intention of doing anything.
“What’s the planet like?” She asked next.
“The locals have called it Argyle.” Kingus answered. “It’s our largest mining operation and a highlight of our terraforming technology. A dozen zones have been established across the surface and ten of them are already fully habitable without a suit. We expect work to be done on six zones within the solar cycle, and shall open up another dozen to be finished within the next three solar cycles. Mineral and ore outputs are quadruple expectations. Mostly thanks to our unequaled refinery efficiency.”
“Or maybe cause you’re exploiting the shit out of your workers.” Again Gunny muttered this quietly enough to be missed by the others. Mary was settling into her seat as best she could when she heard the engines spool up. Inside the armored cockpit behind her she could hear the pilots flipping switches.
“Systems check complete. Echo shuttle requesting clearance for departure.” She wasn’t sure if that was the pilot or co-pilot. Deeper, possibly male.
“We got a flight plan?” Lighter possible female. Maybe that was the pilot?
“Yeah.” Navigator. Younger, more youthful. Not clear if male or female. “Not much to it. Follow the automated beacons. Their spaceport is big enough for Tagmax freighters so it should be easy peasy lemon squeezy.” Human definitely.
“We’re clear.” Co-pilot.
“Okay.” There was a moment where Mary’s hearing seemed to echo as she heard both the pilot in the cockpit and over the speakers in the hold at the same time. “We’re in real space and disembarking now. Remember to keep your hands and feet inside the ride at all times until we come to a full and complete stop. We know you’ve got no choice in airlines today so suck it up because we’re all you got.” Also definitely human.
Gunny seemed to wiggle and settle in his seat, as if to take a nap. In general the marine chatter in the hold seemed very relaxed and calm. A good sign. The most nervous person was likely Kingus whose breathing she could tell was getting a bit quicker and more nervous. After another few seconds she heard the engine spooling get more intense and the shuttle picked up off the deck. Kingus tensed at this as his hands gripped the seat’s armrests more tightly.
While Mary wished she was in a superior Curator craft she was relatively relaxed. She’d flown many times, especially in her training to make sure she could translate even in stressful situations. Part of her wanted to mute her headset for now, to free herself of the need to listen to every jostle of the shuttle and the people within it, but she knew it was more important to maintain her ability to listen to the flight crew.
For several minutes however she mostly had to fight her growing desire to take a nap. Gunny’s breathing shifted into a soft and consistent snore so he already fell asleep. The gentle rumble of the ship around her and her secure nature also lent itself to a desire to nap… “Hey did we check the sensor calibration before we left?” Navigator.
“Yeah, total systems check. Everything cleared. I’m not seeing any problems.” Pilot.
“Uuuhhh… Okay.” Their tone implied things were not okay. She turned her head a little, and began to dial up her headset, ignoring the other sounds and focusing on the cockpit. Another minute went by as she just had the hum of the engines and marine chatter around her. “We’re sure the sensors were checked?”
“Yeah. Why what’s wrong?” Pilot.
“It’s just… uh… doesn’t make sense. I’m reading like… aaa lot of different atmospheres?” Navigator.
“Yeah. They’re terraforming it. So, a lot of different atmospheric readings.” Co-pilot.
“Sure but… some of these are… bizarre.. Like a… nitrogen? Maybe? And uh… ammonia.” She frowned as the Navigator said this.
“Maybe those are the natural planetary atmosphere. Listen, everything else I’ve got is reading fine.” Pilot.
“Ask ground maybe? Terraforming… accidents?” Navigator.
“Resolute this is Echo Two. Do we have any direct communication with Ground? Over.” Co-pilot. Pause. “No direct comms at this time. But the nav beacons are loud and clear.”
“Probably just some interference. I mean if they’ve had a terraforming accident it’s probably hell on comms.” Pilot.
“Yeah… probably.” Navigator, entirely unconvinced. As she listened she realized Barrow was staring straight at her. Did he suspect something? Was he on their channel?
“Something up?” He asked.
“The navigator thinks there might have been a terraforming accident on the planet.” She explained.
“What? How do you know that?” Barrows looked from her towards the armored door between them.
“I can hear them.” She explained simply.
“Did you say a terraforming accident?” Kinugs looked her way now.
“They say there’s strange atmospherics on the planet.” She revealed.
“I knew it! Labor agitators!” He huffed. “Tell your men to be ready for all manner of terrorism Lieutenant!”
“Mmhh…” Barrow's answer was noncommittal but seemed worried as he focused on Mary. She was still focused on the cockpit however.
“Was there a cruiser in orbit somewhere?” Co-pilot.
“The uh… Tartar or something. At least on the mission brief. We tracking it anywhere?” Pilot.
“I… no. I’ve got us, the orbital refinery platform, and the Resolute.” Navigator.
“Freighters? Shuttles? Corporate Yachts? Anything?” Pilot.
“Nnnnno.” Navigator.
“They aren’t seeing any other traffic in orbit.” She relayed to Barrow.
Barrow cleared his throat and seemed to trigger a mic in his helmet. “Guys, shut the fuck up. Gunny wake up.” A marine besides gunny slapped the man’s shoulder causing him to jerk in his seat and a knife seemed to appear in his hand.
“Wah?” He looked around.
“Something’s up.” Barrow mentioned. “No traffic, planetary comms are down, and terraformers are fucked up.”
Mary expected some smart comment but Gunny tucked his knife away and just listened. “Wait. A… freighter is taking off.” Navigator. “And I’ve got one leaving the orbital platform.”
“Ping them?” Co-pilot. Pilot must have nodded because he continued. “Pinging.” Pause. “Both are automated. Both report… systems are fine. No issues.”
“Nothing from ground? Emergency beacons? Distress? Nothing?” Pilot.
“Nothing.” Co-pilot confirmed.
“I mean… they’d be loath to stop shipping ore. Maybe it’s just really comms trouble and they aren’t flying anything right now. Cruiser might be on the far side assisting with some kind of… recovery effort? I don’t know.” Pilot.
“That might be the case…” The co-pilot did not in fact think that was the case. “Resolute, this is Echo two. Uh… do we have any further… mission details? Are we still go on landing? Over.” He sounded nervous. “We’re still go… they think it’s just comms trouble. But they’re prepping more shuttles now for possible rescue or support efforts.”
“I mean everything I’m seeing is clear. Not even rain clouds.” Pilot.
“They’re saying there’s comms failure on the planet. They’ve found automated traffic only. No distress calls.” Mary relayed. A moment later the pilot keyed in a direct channel and she heard the voice through Barrow’s helmet comm.
“Hey eltea. Just a heads up. We think there’s some kind of comms failure on the planet. And maybe a terraforming accident. No signs of hostile action though. Still prepped to land shortly. But uh giving you a heads up.” So they could talk to him but hadn’t.
“Appreciated. I’ll relay.” He acknowledged. Then she had to try and focus a bit harder as Barrow began to speak to his marines about the situation but the flight crew was still chatting.
“Entering atmo now. Any change in sensor reading?” Pilot.
“No. Area around Argyle looks… okay. Wait, that's the city right?” Navigator.
“Yeah. Uh. Maybe.” Pilot. The shuttle began to shake a bit harder though from what she had experienced before this was just normal for entering atmosphere. They were quiet as the shuttle rumbled. But after another minute the rumbling seemed to get worse instead of better. She was much more acutely aware of the groaning of the metal and just shuddering of everything around her. Kingus’ teeth were rattling and clicking especially. “Okay what the fuck.”
“Yeah… Yeah… Uh… fuck.” Co-pilot. What were they seeing? Just describe it outloud!
“I can’t turn it off. Ground has us locked into our corridor.” Navigator.
“Override!” Pilot.
“I can’t! I’m trying!” Navigator. The shuddering of the shuttle intensified further as it seemed to be moving around, like the pilot was trying to shake them out of whatever their path was and kept getting pulled in. “It’s not using any normal code! I’ve got no fucking clue what this is!”
“WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!” Mary winced at how loudly the Co-pilot yelled that. So far their voices had been full of stress and anxiety, but not fear, nor had they been loud.
“Jesus!” Pilot. What? What was it? “Look at it fucking move! Chaff! Flares! Dump everything!”
“Brace!” Mary cried out as she clutched her harness. She could hear the deployment of flares and chaff in a rapid series of bops and clanks. Then she could hear something hit the shuttle… But it wasn’t an explosion? Just a meaty metal crunch. Her body jerked hard in the harness as the shuttle around her began to spin, or jerk, or she had no idea but it was twisting violently!
“Fuck!” Pilot
“Watch it!” Co-pilot. Red lights immediately came on in the hold of the shuttle, she could hear as well as feel the violent collision as the port wing slammed into something. For a brief instant she could hear the shattering of glass before her hearing was just overwhelmed by the rest of the crash and the screaming around her. The force yanked her hard against the harness as she heard the terrifying screech of metal being pried apart as the hold and the cockpit sections of the shuttle seemed to detach.
Strapped to the jumpseat she could only watch in horror as the marines before her were suddenly spun in a different direction while Barrow and her were tumbling on the now suddenly exposed outside of the cockpit section. She was screaming as loud as her lungs could bear, but he was oddly quiet. As if resigned to their fate. She could see the city spinning around her, and the straps holding her began to give way as they were never intended for this. Barrow reached out and for a moment she reached towards him but then they hit something hard and her body was sent flying free of the seat.

2023.06.01 04:17 ambuna Does anyone have an approximate timeline of events?

Maybe difficult to conjure when time dilation is a thing but roughly in terms of when certain story beats & info drops happen relative to one another.
I think most of my confusion surrounds a timeline for events at Idofront and some of the Tepaste and Srajo team activities.
If anyone has a timeline running can you include some of these points:
-Nanachi timeline points (Nanachi/Mitty still human, brought to Ido front -> Nanachi escaping with Mitty -> Nanachi spending a lot of time trying to cure Mitty and learning the abyss. (I have no clue how much time was between any of these events/if we were even given any approximation) -When Bondy got Prushka (this seems to be a lot of time after Nanachi) -Known visitations to Idofront ie. Srajo visit -Habo and the Thief team and Tepaste's team all convening at that pub. Implied to be a while ago right? Since that one member was discovered dead by Riko and team. -The narehate/jusou doll twins dying on the surface. I think we have a frame of reference for this because Reg sees one of their nameplates clack to the floor. -Discovery of the giant bird nest from the large blast route? I barely understood this part tbh. -Any timeline stuff relative to the Miko -Any timeline stuff related to Lyza, Ozen, and Wakuna.
Thanks!

2023.06.01 03:06 ParalyzedGhost [ToTK] Zelda hot takes that I gone and done

Jumped off the Zelda train for years but playing TOTK got me jumping back down all the rabbit holes
Idk where else to post this but if anyone wants to discuss - these are some things I’ve been thinking about regarding the timeline and other lore related stuff:
First of all - Zonai & Oocca are likely one in the same/related
If this is true there is a connection to Zonai/Birds (OoT Rauru turns into an owl BUT could also just be a reference to the animals the Zonai worship - speculation)
But if that is also true that we can see that there is definite proof of Zonai existence in all Zelda timelines:
Child Era with TP’s Sky Island/Ooccoo - I have already seen some discussions on this
Adult era with WW’s Tower of Gods - the aesthetic of this place in general which has also been discussed here already
Decline era with Zelda 2’s Fokka - bird-like warriors in the final temple of Zelda 2.
the decline timeline was harder for me to connect with the Zonai and I’m wondering if there is a reason for that
——
The official timeline shows SS followed by “Sacred Realm is Sealed” & “Hyrule Kingdom is Established” - It is Canon that Sonia and Rauru are the first King/Queen so the past events of TOTK happen after SS, likely far before MC.
——
Sheikah are the descendants of Hylian/Zonai children - this one’s the biggest reach but the coolest one to think about
What do y’all think am I onto stuff or just really nerdy about Zelda again? 😂

2023.06.01 02:50 DuronHalix More Questions: And A Ruling

I'm back asking more about cryptic stuff I didn't understand how to parse. Plus, I ran into one that looks very odd I'd like to get a ruling on. Answers and commentary split off for those that want to play along.

"Frozen" songbird trapped in building block (3,2,2) - LET IT GO The parsing of this clue obviously seems to split the compound word "songbird" e.g. "Frozen song" / "bird trapped in building block" (LE-TIT-GO). This seems seedy to be sure, so wanted a general ruling from those here that know a little better about proper cryptic cluing.
Setback involving excellent financial transactions (6) - TRADES - seems to be a similar issue to #1 on a "ruling". The parsing seems to treat "Setback" as "Set back". Of course, we can put "excellent" (RAD) in and get T-RAD-ES as the parse with "financial transactions" being the straight def.
Without beginning to consider links to decade (8) - EIGHTIES - "Decade" is the straight definition, "links to" seems to be where the TIES part comes from in the wordplay. Not sure where the rest of this clue leads to the EIGH part.

2023.06.01 00:19 JoshAsdvgi THE FABLE OF THE ANIMALS

THE FABLE OF THE ANIMALS
A Karok (Karuk) Legend
A great many hundred snows ago, Kareya, sitting on the Sacred Stool, created the world. First, he made the fishes in the Big Water, then the animals on the green land, and last of all, Man!
But at first the animals were all alike in power.
No one knew which animals should be food for others, and which should be food for man. Then Kareya ordered them all to meet in one place, that Man might give each his rank and his power.
So the animals all met together one evening, when the sun was set, to wait overnight for the coming of Man on the next morning.
Kareya also commanded Man to make bows and arrows, as many as there were animals, and to give the longest one to the animal which was to have the most power, and the shortest to the one which should have least power.
So he did, and after nine sleeps his work was ended, and the bows and arrows which he had made were very many.
Now the animals, being all together, went to sleep, so they might be ready to meet Man on the next morning.
But Coyote was exceedingly cunning - he was cunning above all the beasts.
Coyote wanted the longest bow and the greatest power, so he could have all the other animals for his meat.
He decided to stay awake all night, so that he would be first to meet Man in the morning.
So he laughed to himself and stretched his nose out on his paw and pretended to sleep. About midnight he began to be sleepy.
He had to walk around the camp and scratch his eyes to keep them open.
He grew more sleepy, so that he had to skip and jump about to keep awake.
But he made so much noise, he awakened some of the other animals.
When the morning star came up, he was too sleepy to keep his eyes open any longer.
So he took two little sticks, and sharpened them at the ends, and propped open his eyelids. Then he felt safe.
He watched the morning star, with his nose stretched along his paws, and fell asleep.
The sharp sticks pinned his eyelids fast together.
The morning star rose rapidly into the sky.
The birds began to sing. The animals woke up and stretched themselves, but still Coyote lay fast asleep.
When the sun rose, the animals went to meet Man.
He gave the longest bow to Cougar, so he had greatest power; the second longest he gave to Bear; others he gave to the other animals, giving all but the last to Frog.
But the shortest one was left.
Man cried out, "What animal have I missed?"
Then the animals began to look about and found Coyote fast asleep, with his eyelids pinned together.
All the animals began to laugh, and they jumped upon Coyote and danced upon him.
Then they led him to Man, still blinded, and Man pulled out the sharp sticks and gave him the shortest bow of all.
It would hardly shoot an arrow farther than a foot.
All the animals laughed.
But Man took pity on Coyote, because he was now weaker even than Frog.
So at his request, Kareya gave him cunning, ten times more than before, so that he was cunning above all the animals of the wood.
Therefore Coyote was friendly to Man and his children, and did many things for them.

2023.05.31 23:06 gredman9 Teaser List Updates: Lord of the Rings (05/31/23)

Day 2 and we're still going strong!
I would like to thank everyone who provided the clues I missed yesterday from the Gamespot dump. I know I always say to let me know if I miss anything and this is the sort of thing I'm talking about. So again, thank you. Now that that's settled, let's see what's new today!
Link to the clues below:
https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/718159296243859457/maros-the-lord-of-the-rings-teaser-before

five different card types get the legendary supertype (Artifact, Creature, Land, Enchantment)
a decently sized "legendary matters" theme (seen so far on Frodo Baggins and Delighted Halfling)
new nonmana ward costs (Sauron, the Dark Lord, sacrifice a legendary artifact or legendary creature, Saruman of Many Colors, Discard an enchantment, instant, or sorcery card)
a mechanic returns but now references a different creature type (Amass, but for Orcs)
a card that makes a Smaug creature token
two three-color and one four-color legendary creature to go along with the five-color one already previewed (Sauron, the Dark Lord, Grixis, Saruman of Many Colors, Esper, and Aragorn the Uniter, RGWU)
a lot of one-of "creature type matters" cards (Fangorn, Tree-Shepherd, Treefolk, Meriadoc Brandybuck, Halfings, Doors of Durin, Dwarves and Elves)
a mechanic returns that I had to fight tooth and nail to get into the set it premiered in
a new creature type gets its own equip cost (Dunedain Blade, Human, Bilbo's Ring, Halfling)
some counters in the set: burden (The One Ring), deathtouch, first strike, hope, indestructible, influence, lifelink, lore (Tom Bombadil), stun, verse, vigilance, and +1/+1 (Galadriel, Gift Giver)
"Whenever you attack with Merry and another legendary creature," (Merry, Esquire of Rohan, draw a card)
"Then create a Food token for each creature you control."
"Remove an indestructible counter from Arwen:"
"Copy any number of target instant and/or sorcery spells."
"Whenever you draw a card during an opponent's turn, create a 1/1 blue Tentacle creature token."
"Whenever a creature an opponent control dies, put a +1/+1 counter on Legolas."
"Target opponent gains control of target Horse you control."
"When this ability resolves for the third time this turn, Gimli fights up to one target creature you don't control." (Gimli, Mournful Avenger, who gets a +1/+1 counter every time another creature you control dies)
"You may pay 0 rather than pay the equip cost of the first equip ability you activate during each of your turns." (Forge Anew, an enchantment that also returns an equipment on ETB and lets you equip at instant speed during your turn)
"Whenever you put one or more counters on Aragorn, put one of each of those kinds of counters on up to one other target creature."
Legendary Creature – Avatar Demon (The Balrog, Flame of Udun)
Legendary Creature – Bird Noble (Landroval, Horizon Witness)
Legendary Creature – Halfling Knight (Merry, Esquire of Rohan)
Legendary Creature – Halfling Soldier (Pippin, Guard of the Citadel)
Legendary Creature – Horse (Bill the Pony)
Legendary Creature – Kraken
Legendary Creature – Nymph
Legendary Creature – Spirit Noble
Legendary Creature – Spider Demon
Legendary Creature – Wraith Noble (Witch-king of Angmar)
"Birthday Escape"
"Breaking of the Fellowship"
"Fear, Fire, Foes!"
"Grond, the Gatebreaker"
"Horses of the Bruinen"
"Lembas"
"One Ring to Rule Them All"
"Oliphaunt"
"Second Breakfast"
"There and Back Again"

As always, feel free to let me know if there is anything I've missed!

2023.05.31 23:01 ddollkinn [PC][2000-2018 ish] soft pastel horror game with themes of abuse

Platform(s): alright, so, i watched this through a play through on youtube. i seriously can’t recall the youtuber, even after racking my brain and searching youtube for this play through for hours. but anyway, i remember it being on PC.
Genre: i remember it was an RPG type game, since it was 2d and side to side, you the player controlling the main character.
Estimated year of release: if i had to guess, sometime between the 2000s-2018 or so.
Graphics/art style: it starts pastel and soft, very cute. but as the game goes on, you encounter dark themes, and near the end, everything becomes washed out and dark. i believe even during the “pastel parts” of the game, there was some kind of scene or room that involved blood or gore, hinting to something darker.
Notable characters: I remember specifically the game having a young girl in this cutesy world full of soft, pastel animals. i think there was about three- there was also some different doors you could go in, i remember that being a big thing for introducing characters. i remember one of the animals being a bird or penguin with a monocle if i’m remembering right. overall, the characters were soft and pastel animals, aside from the main girl character, who you control.
Notable gameplay mechanics: i think there was some sort of puzzle aspect involved, specifically with keys. i remember the story was revealed after a while of traversing the game- it wasn’t a long game, something short and fairly quick, if that makes sense. Anyhow, it had simple puzzles involving keys or similar.
Other details: The game specifically had strong themes of abuse, specifically sexual abuse. the main girl was going through this small world of cutesy pastel animals, but then happened upon something disturbing, i believe. i think there was more then one ending, but the one i remember the most was the girl returning to her bedroom all alone, the world being washed out and dirty, dark, and basically the opposite of where you started. the girl was also very sad and washed out, not just the environment. i remember there being several large clues to the story and themes, but the ending was the biggest push towards the fact the girl might’ve been being abused by her father.
i’ve been searching for this game for so long, i’m just sort of determined to find it again.
