But all this peace and tranguility was about to change, with the arrival of the UES Safe Travels. The ship was tasked by the government to retake the lost cargo of the Contact Light, unaware of the horrors of petrichor 5. Making landing zones at spots with the most cargo, they were immediately attacked by the wildlife. The denizens of the planet were infuriated at the death of Providence, and knew that it was the humans fault. They attacked all of the camps, outnumbering the humans by the hundreds they easily won against some of them but some camps stood the test. Our focus must now deviate from the main group of humans, to a specific one, a mechanic named Tohm.

In the chaos that ensued after the arrival of the UES Safe Travels, the once-peaceful Petrichor 5 transformed into a battleground. The denizens of the planet, enraged by the perceived affront to Providence and the disruption of their sanctuary, launched attacks on the human camps established for the retrieval of the lost cargo.
As the wildlife descended upon the landing zones, the humans found themselves outnumbered and ill-prepared for the ferocity of the planet's defenders. The initial skirmishes were swift, with some camps easily overwhelmed by the sheer numbers and hostility of the native creatures. However, a few resilient camps managed to stand their ground against the onslaught.
Amidst the chaos, our focus turns to a specific individual—Tohm, a mechanic among the crew of the UES Safe Travels. As the attacks unfolded, Tohm, with his mechanical expertise, found himself playing a crucial role in the defense efforts. With makeshift barricades and jury-rigged defenses, he worked tirelessly to fortify the camp against the relentless assaults.
Tohm's hands, accustomed to the intricacies of machinery, now wielded tools and devices crafted for survival. The screams of the wildlife and the clashes of combat echoed around him as he repaired damaged structures and repurposed salvaged technology to fend off the planet's vengeful defenders.
The mechanic's determination and resourcefulness caught the attention of his fellow survivors. Tohm emerged as a beacon of hope amidst the chaos, a symbol of resilience in the face of an unforeseen and hostile environment. His skills not only kept the camp standing but also inspired those around him to fight against the fury of Petrichor 5.
As the battle raged on, Tohm's mechanical ingenuity became a vital asset in the struggle for survival. The fate of the UES Safe Travels crew hung in the balance, and in the heart of the battleground, the mechanic stood as a testament to the indomitable spirit of those who dared to venture into the unknown depths of the cosmos.
After the attrition had stopped all the survivors returned to their duties and it was Tohm's turn on watch duty. While he sat in the little foldable chair he brought, he noticed a strange crab like creature wandering the plains. It crawled around looking at the ground and every decent size rock, inspecting it. When it noticed Tohm he jumped and readied his gun but thats what he thought he did, instead he just stood there perplexed. Then, he heard words, no memories, surface in his brain then go silent like they were vanishing.
ChatGPT
Tohm, weary from the recent battles, took his turn on watch duty as the survivors regrouped and resumed their duties. Seated in a small, foldable chair he had brought, he scanned the plains around the camp, vigilant for any signs of the native creatures that had attacked earlier.
In the quiet moments of his watch, Tohm's attention was drawn to a peculiar crab-like creature. It wandered the plains with a purpose, inspecting the ground and examining rocks. When the creature noticed Tohm, he instinctively reached for his gun, only to find himself frozen in a state of perplexity.
As Tohm stood there, trying to make sense of the situation, he heard words—fragmented memories that surfaced in his brain. The words were fleeting, like whispers on the edge of his consciousness, slipping away before he could grasp their meaning. It was as if the very fabric of his thoughts was unraveling, replaced by a sense of disorientation.
The crab-like creature, seemingly unfazed by Tohm's presence, continued its inspection of the surroundings. Tohm, still grappling with the strange mental phenomenon, watched as the creature moved with a deliberate and almost methodical intent.
In a moment of cautious curiosity, Tohm approached the creature. As he drew closer, the whispers in his mind grew louder, fragments of memories teasing the edges of his understanding. The crab-like creature, aware of Tohm's presence, turned its attention toward him, its gaze locking onto his eyes.
Then, unexpectedly, the creature emitted a series of rhythmic clicks and whirrs. Tohm felt a peculiar resonance with the sounds, as if they were unlocking something within him. The memories that had eluded him began to coalesce, revealing fragments of a forgotten past, a history intertwined with the mysteries of Petrichor 5.
Tohm, standing on the plains under the alien sky, found himself at the crossroads of memory and discovery. The crab-like creature, an enigmatic guide in this cosmic puzzle, continued its inspection, leaving Tohm to grapple with the echoes of his own forgotten narrative in the heart of Providence's sanctuary.
As Tohm walked towards it the creature tensed up and looked at a stone golem approaching it. The golems laser started to line up with the creature, until the creature started to stretch its spine, revealing a black hole that started to grow bigger and bigger until it incased tohm and the golem. Feeling sick he tried to stand put was already standing, actually floating through what looked like space but had a purple light at the end like a tunnel

In an instant, the familiar landscape of Petrichor 5 dissolved, replaced by an otherworldly space that seemed to stretch into infinity.

But he snapped out of his gaze after he heard a whale cry and shaking stones. Looking behind him he saw a whale that was purple and had multiple white eyes with a pinkish clear underbelly. As he tried to move out of the way the whale moved over him revealing what the shaking sound was coming from. When the whale passed over Tohm he could see inside its belly, he was expecting organs but what he found was the golem that had tried to attack the crab and wisps plus a couple lumerians.

He felt the ground, it was like sea grass it waved the same way and grew about the same height but was pink, the dirt under it was white with black specks. Ignoring the coil he could see upright seaweed but it was a pale white and he saw galaxy looking purple growths under an overhang that he swore he saw his galaxy in these starry purple blobs.

When he touched it, it responded like real sea grass, adding to the surreal nature of the environment. The soil beneath the pink sea grass was a striking contrast—white with black specks, creating a stark and captivating landscape.
Moving further, Tohm discovered upright seaweed, but this seaweed was an otherworldly pale white. The galaxy-looking purple growths beneath an overhang captured his attention, their starry patterns resembling galaxies in the cosmic expanse. Tohm felt a strange connection with these celestial-like blobs, as if they held the echoes of his own galaxy within their mysterious depths.
As he explored the island, each discovery unveiled a new layer of cosmic wonder. The environment, a harmonious blend of familiar and alien elements, spoke to the intricate design that defined Petrichor 5. Tohm, amidst the strangeness, felt a sense of awe and reverence for the cosmic tapestry that unfolded before him—an island that seemed to exist at the intersection of reality and dreams.
He looked more around the island till he saw a little hut that looked like it belonged to something he moved closer, then realizing he had no weapons just clothes. But still further he aproached starting to hear and smell, a fire! Mabye it was his pals, but then he heard a old voice say "I know you are there, please come in.".

"So, captain where are we? It dosen't look like a planet to me." Arthur sighed "We're in the void an expanse that goes infinitely down and never out. A place of horrors that make the interplanetary wars look like a joke." Tohm kept asking questions that the captain would answer with ease. The captain told Tohm that the whales ferry things to the voidling and other places in this abyss. The captain also told Tohm about the void monsters that roam islands, lesser beings serving the higher minds of this realm. Then Tohm asked "I felt something watch me as I floated to the island, do you know what it is?" the captain pausing for the first time in hours looked dead ahead at a painting of an island. "It is The Leviathan a consumer of all that tries to pass through the layers without using the gravity wells.".

As the pair of humans settled to sleep, they heard a otherworldly noise then a clicking and tapping after that a sound of a portal closing. The captain packed all the things in the room in a hurry then woke up Tohm saying "They are here.". Tohm jumped up grabbing what little he had and following the Captain out the door. He sprinted towards the kelp grove after Arthur. After they took cover hiding in the kelp, Tohm noticed that same creature that supposedly got him here, except there were more. Followed by a strange bipedal, black and purple lobster that towered over a creature an already tall creature. Arthur pointed out that when he first got here they sent the lobsters after him. He also knows that they act as some sort of jailer for the minor things that arrive in the void. After some time Arthur whispered "They'll search the whole island, we have to get out of here or we're dead meat, we'll have to take the gravity well.". Tohm replied "Where will that leave us?" "No idea but they've never came with this much force." They agreed that they would make a run for it, jump into the gravity well and see where it takes them. So they ran. Sprinting out of the kelp the void creatures immediately noticed them the lobster like creature firing void orbs at them. They jump and feel a tugging sensation floating them away deeper into darkness.

Arthur said. "Noted." Tohm replied. While they were floating Tohm felt uneasy like he was being hunted and his suspicions were confirmed when the void started to move. "As you struggle against the void, you may find that every path you take just brings you deeper, deeper, yet deeper." "Who's there?" "Deeper into curiosity, deeper into hubris, and deeper into creation." The void replied. And then Tohm saw it The Leviathan, a massive creature with eyes that resembled the stars in a night sky and scales as black as it's surroundings. Then it spoke some more "You will never find your way out mortal, nothing ever comes out. I have seen creatures of monumental power go through this void and to think you have chance of making it out.

Bought a dress from JJ House as the bride said they were good, and reviews here backed her statement.
After double checking the sizing, and speaking with customer service they said all their dresses are true to size and “made to order”. I size up to accommodate my breast. I saw some people saying the sizes ran big. I opted out of custom sizing it since I’m losing weight and thought a generic size would be better since I can get it tailored.
Dress arrives, not only was it 1-2 sizes too SMALL the dress had a burn hole in the back! It burned through the two layers of fabric as well as the arm sleeves.
I reached out asking if I can exchange as the sizing was off and it was damaged. They don’t offer exchanges as the dress is “made to order” it would cost me to send it back! Instead of the $110 I paid, I’d only get $70 back and I had to cover shipping.
The email address given to me from customer service didn’t even seem real (sosisisisk@gmail.com, yes this is it) and it’s the same rep every time I call or chat named Mia.
Don’t get me wrong, the dress is very pretty, looks like the picture but the sizing was waaay off and post customer service sucks.

Sorry for the long post! First time posting ever. Sorry if it's not very concise.
I (26f) come from a very large, complicated family. When I was two, my bio parents divorced, and since then (through multiple marriages and divorces) I have gained a plethora of siblings, all of whom I love dearly. Of the seven siblings I have gained, three of them were also birthed by bio mom (50f, who will be referred to as Gaslighter from now on). These three siblings are "Lucy" (28f), "Birdie" (17f), and "Topher" (14m) (all names changed).
For context: Gaslighter had abandoned me twice in my childhood - once when she and my father ("John" 53m) first divorced, and once when she and my step father (53m) separated. While the first time was not memorable due to my age and the shorter time span, the second was when I was 14, and I had no contact with her for THREE YEARS. No holidays, no birthdays, nothing. On top of this, when she was around, she was emotionally and verbally abusive to me. She tried to keep me from my father, talked crap about him constantly (including trying to convince me at age 7 that John wanted me aborted), she would not let me play with my sister or friends, and she consistently fat shamed me my entire life. I was a very athletic kid, so I was not by any stretch "fat", but because I had a large appetite due to exercise and medications I needed, I was dubbed "miss Piggy" and "the vulture", and Gaslighter would screech "caw caw" like a vulture if I grabbed seconds. Due to this, I've been struggling with eating disorders since I was 10. She also forced me to raise Topher from birth, as she had forced Lucy to raise Birdie. Now, there's a bunch of other examples I can include, but this is already a lot. So, to the story...
I've known for a few years that I would end up cutting Gaslighter out of my life, between the childhood trauma that continued into adulthood and how she treated everyone I love. That being said, I was planning on playing nice until Birdie and Topher were both adults, because I was afraid that pissing Gaslighter off would have negative repercussions on them. I had told Lucy, Birdie, and Topher about my plan and they were all very understanding and on board. For everything I have been through, they have too. The last decade has just been about survival until they were legally free.
But in the last year, I have been diagnosed with PTSD from the abuse endured by Gaslighter, and her behavior has become more erratic and terrifying. Over Christmas, I decided that I couldn't wait another 4 years, so I began distancing myself, hoping to just fade away from her. Interactions with Gaslighter had begun inciting my panic attacks, and for my own health, I needed to get out.
THIS is where the problem starts.
Obviously, Birdie is almost an adult, and she has her own plans to dip out as soon as she turns eighteen. That being said, Gaslighter is actively tightening her grip, making Birdie's life miserable. When I told my siblings that I was going to just ghost Gaslighter, Birdie freaked out. She asked me to not ghost, but to tell Gaslighter that I no longer wanted a relationship with her. Because I knew I wouldn't be able to face her without a breakdown or caving in (this woman has an amazing ability to make herself the victim), I offered a compromise: I would write a letter and mail it to her, and I would wait to completely cut her off until it was mailed. Birdie was happy with this solution.
I took my time writing the letter because the stress of the situation was overwhelming and I was still terrified of Gaslighter. Besides that, the tiny part of me that always needed Gaslighter to be a REAL mother to me wanted to keep giving her chances. So, I spent countless nights crying to my fiance about the situation. I did write the letter, but I never got around to mailing it because life was crazy with final exams and family events and work. I still intended to send it, but just never got to it.
This past weekend, my father called me. John was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer when I was 15, and, for the following 4 years, I took on the brunt of caring for him. I took him to almost all of his appointments, made sure he had his medicine, talked with doctors, made sure he ate and the house was clean when he was too sick to do it. He never asked me to do any of it, but this was during the time in my life where Gaslighter was MIA, so I had the freedom to spend my time where I wanted, and I chose to take care of him. I have no regrets whatsoever, and I'm glad for that extra time, because I seldom spent time with him as a child. John was the first person who I felt actually understood me, and we had a lot in common, so those years were some of the best in my life. He really is one of my favorite people. Because of the harsh treatments, however, his health has been a mess since his diagnosis. But we have all just been happy to have him around, especially since the doctors told us there was a 6% chance he would survive past 5 years. It has now been 11.
While John is still in remission, he recently received some distressing news. In the phone call last weekend, he told me that he will be paralyzed from the waist down within the year, but more than likely, within a few months. I was devasted. I had a breakdown that devolved into my hatred of Gaslighter and her treatment of myself and my father, and something switched inside me.
I truly no longer felt any love or care for that woman.
I decided that night that I was done. I blocked her on everything and decided I would never see or speak to her again.
Birdie obviously isn't happy about it. I know I didn't keep to my promise about the letter. But I just can't justify ever interacting with her again, and I know that letter will do nothing but add fuel to Gaslighter's "woe is me" narrative. So, I guess I am asking if I am the a-hole for not keeping my promise and just ghosting, despite possible repercussions or the feelings of my siblings?
Edit: I forgot to mention that Birdie and Topher got very angry at me because I have been avoiding events Gaslighter might be at. They know about my diagnosis, but I don't think they really understand what it means. I just feel so bad because I know this is hurting them and I love them SO much, but I just can't see Gaslighter. I just feel like there is no good answer.
TLDR: siblings are mad that I ghosted abusive biomom, even though they understand why, so aita for not considering their feelings in this decision?

My(f35) ex (m37) has two daughters ( lets call them Lily and Mia) with two different women (Cara- Liliy's mom and Maya- Mia's mom). Liliy turned 18 this weekend and Mia is 16.
My ex and I are still friends, we split after 6 years, there was no drama, no fighting no abuse, we had another one of "what is next for us" talks, and he added he thought that my "I don't want kids" stance was just a phase I would have got out "by certain age". He wants more kids. I don't want kids. I have/had a good relationship with both of his daughters. Maya and I had a friendly relationship while I was with him. She asked for my number and asked to meet me before she was okay with me meeting her daughter - Mia. I had no issues with this; in fact, I instantly respected her for it. Cara, on the other hand, was always hostile.
I'm financially well off. Earning significantly more than him, we had a joint account that was mostly funded by me (98% of the funds in it came from me). I was okay with him spending that money on his family and daughters. The only rule I had was that I didn't want it to be used for lavish gifts to his ex. He was okay with this. But during one of the family gatherings, Cara asked if she could borrow some cash from him; he said yes and to take what he had in his wallet. She took a card to our joint account and went on a spending spree. I was pissed. But I was furious when he didn't make her pay it back. She is the mother of his child, and what do I expect him to do, blah blah.
Last summer, while we were still together, I promised Lilily we/ I would take her to Taylor Swit's concert in Paris and a proper shopping trip for her 18th, we extended invitation to Mia as well and her mom agreed. So I bought 4 concert tickets ( for the girls, ex and me) and booked a hotel. Fast forward to winter and we had our split.
Last month, I asked him what he wanted to do. I couldn't transfer my ticket to his new girl (or anyone), but I was willing to give it up and told him to go with the girls. I would even pay for plane tickets. He admitted he had forgotten all about it and that he had already booked all his allowance of annual leave, so he couln't take them. He asked if I would find it awkward to go on the trip with girls instead. As mentioned, I have a good relationship with his girls and have said okay if their moms agree. Mia's mom - Maya, said no problem, but Liliy's mom- Cara, insisted that the only way "I was taking her daughter out of the country was if she was going." I offered not to go and have Cara take them. She wouldn't be able to get into a concert venue, but the hotel was paid for, and I would still pay for plane tickets. But Maya said she wasn't letting Mia anywhere with Cara. Here, in order to make a minor over the border, you need a form signed by both parents. Not wanting to punish girls for something that was out of their control, we agreed I would take the girls and Cara would join us. As I also promised a shopping trip to Liliy, her dad set up a spending limit, and I asked Maya to allow me to buy something for Mia as well so she wouldn't feel excluded; reluctantly, she agreed and also set a limit.
Of to Paris we went, we arrived the day before the concert and were due to go back in the evening on the day after the concert. From the moment we landed Cara complained about everything. When we got to the hotel she demanded separate rooms ( I have originally booked a two-bedroom suite), and thought Mia and I could take one room and Liliy and her another ( she knew this before we left). She proceeded to yell and make a scene until the receptionist said they had another smaller suite available. I ended up taking that one for myself and Mia.
Next day after breakfast we went shopping. Lily said she would prefer one or two higher-quality pieces of clothing rather than brands she could get at home. So we went to Galeries Lafayette. About two hours in I got a call from a client that there was an issue that needed immediate attention. I gave Lily my card, reminded her of the limit her father set, and told Mia that we could go somewhere else afterward if she didn't find anything she liked that would honor the limit her mom set. Both girls said they understood; Cara gave me a side-eye. So I sat at a nearby bench dealing with my client's issue while they shopped. Not sure how much time has passed when Lily came crying, saying her mom made her give her my card and was buying things for herself. I went to a till, and indeed, Cara was paying with my card for things that were clearly for her. She didn't even have the decency to look guilty when she saw me marching towards her; she even smirked. So, in a fit of rage, I said to a cashier that she was paying with a stolen card, my card. Cara tried to insist I gave her the card, but I stood my ground, security was called, I continued to insist she stole it. Eventually, they called the police. Since it was my name on the card and the cashier confirmed Cara was one that used the card, and I continued to insist she stole it they arrested her. We had to go with them to give a statement. Few hours later when we left the station, I sat down the girls and explained we would go back in the morning to get Cara, but that right now she needed to learn there were consequences.
Neither of the girls was in the mood to go back to shopping, so we went to the hotel and got ready for the concert. By the time we reached the concert venue, both girls were in good moods again. In case you are wondering, we had a blast.
The next morning, I returned to the police station and retracted my statement, saying it was a misunderstanding. I gave the card to one of the girls, and she gave it to her mom. Two fines ( both myself and Cara got fined) and a few snide remarks from the officer later Cara was free. She refused to speak with me for the rest of the trip. Fine by me. I don't even mind the fine I got, it was worth it.
Girls and I went for one more round of shopping before it was time to catch the plane.
When we got back, chaos erupted. His family is now divided, some saying I was petty and b**ch for what I did, and other side clapping, saying it was well deserved.
My ex stopped by my work this morning and said that what I did to Cara was bullying. And I was an a**hole for dangling my money in front of her, that I should have left it be, and he would have paid me back if I told him.
I don't think I was. Was I petty, maybe, probably, but I don't think I was A**hole, she literally tried to steal.

Almost all are active as of May 2024 (I had to include my favorite even though it's only accessible via wayback lol).
In trying to collect some Japanese CC for a Japanese-themed build, I ended up going down a rabbit hole of sites. I couldn't find anyone else who has a list of notable sims 1 cc creators updated for 2024, so I thought I'd make my own. If you have a favorite Japanese creator, or sites currently only accessible via the wayback machine, feel free to comment! I personally still have yet to find my perfect living room set...
if anyone working on the archive of sims 1 cc reads this, I'd love to see some of these creators added to it. I had a difficult time trying to find Japanese creators through the archive.
Some tips for navigating Japanese-only sites:

• there is usually an opening page where you have to click an enter button or banner. If there's no sidebar, just look for a link to enter.
• sometimes downloads are hidden behind "download" or "simpeople" links.
• don't let yourself get overly confused by loads of links in Japanese. just click through. usually they're collections of cc under different titles. Most Japanese sites have headers, often even in English, to help you navigate.
• when in doubt, don't be afraid to use a translator. in some browsers, or with certain extensions, you can just highlight a phrase and translate in-page.

I am 14F and my classmate is 14M and I need some advice. So I sit next to this guy, let's call him Mark, anyways, I sit next to him and next to his friend (lets call him Michelle) so I'm usually In between their conversations but I just try ignore them.
SO, one day Mark is showing Michelle something on his phone and then I hear Michelle say "AHAAH why is the hair so dark".... I didn't think much of it but thought what he said was strange, then he shows his other friend next to him let's call her Mia. Mia just laughs at it and thinks ite very shocking (because it is!!!!)
Unfortunately for me one day my seat was a little farther back then his and his phone was on and at the corner of my eye I SEE THE FUCKING PICTURE , I wanted to disappear from that class and die in a hole, like wtf?!?!?
ANYWAYS, he does this everyday and after he shows Michelle and Mia he says "I'm gonna beat my meat after this and take more pics, because I'm him" ..... seriously what goes on through his head I'm actually concerned because why would you expose urself like that.
Mark also does unusual stuff like stick his hands in a pants, he says "my balls are warm" sometimes it's funny but not the pictures, then today he did what he always does talks about how big his dick and shows us how big it is by useing a pencil as measurement.
I need help because wtf do I do, I'm stuck in that seat for the rest of the year (mind I have 4 weeks left of school) and I would tell someone about it but my friends just laugh about it or don't take me seriously and my teacher says she has "cameras" in her room but she only says that to scare us, I always use my phone and Mark would definitely nor be in that class if she had cameras.
Reddit, help I cant stand hearing talking about his dick and being in between those conversations. (P.S. yes I know I'm kinda young for this app but I rather not tell my family because they will think I'm crazy)

Nation of origin: Republic of Terra and her Colonies
Name: Trevor Hatch Anderson
Branch: Terran Interstellar Navy
Ship: TIS Resilience (Destroyer)
Rank: Commander O-5
Service ID Number: 15523721-O5
​
(In following naval traditions from blue water navies on earth the commanding officer of a ship will be referred to as Captain regardless of rank)
​
"Captain we have one battlecruiser, a light cruiser, and 2 destroyers bearing down on us sir." I hear from Lieutenant Commander Tafoya as I step onto the bridge.
I had been woken by a rather panicked looking junior enlisted man just as the general quarters alarm had sounded. He gave a very brief explanation as I rushed to the bridge pulling most of my uniform on as I went. Now I stand in the hatch as I look to make sure everyone is doing what they are supposed to be doing. Everything appears to be as in order as it could be given we have so many ships coming our way.
"Alright Tafoya do you have the identity of the ships? Who are we dealing with right now?" I ask as I move to take the con from her as the steps aside to her assigned post as XO.
"No sir,” her voice steady and words quick, “we have no idea who they are. We tried hailing them but we were ignored and the computer is still trying to get an ID on the ships." she says calmly yet quickly.
"I understand, I want situation reports on all departments immediately" I reply. I'm frustrated that we don't know to which species or nation these ships belong to. We are facing an overwhelming force and we can't even determine who they are.
"Aye, Aye sir" she replies before my thoughts can go too far down the rabbit hole.
Just then one of the ensigns speaks up saying "Captain 15 miles until the ships will be able to fire on us."
I quickly reply with "thank you ensign" before thinking for a bit then asking to no one in particular "what's the status of our patrol fighters?"
another ensign speaks up "we had two out on patrol when the ships wouldn't respond they were ordered to get a closer look they were destroyed before they could report back sir."
"thank you ensign." That's not good. We only have six fighters total. Things are just getting worse.
I reach over and click a small button on my Terminal before pick up what looks to be a old style wired telephone and putting it to my ear "Bridge to CIC this is Captain Anderson I need to know how long until we can have our alert fighters launched"
"Give me a second sir" I heard back before. there is a few seconds of silence on the line before the other person speaks up again "We have two being armed they will be done inside of five minutes, the other two had just returned from patrol 30 minutes or so ago and are being refueled they should be ready in two minutes or so if you don't want them to completely fueled sir"
I think for a second before deciding. "alright two minutes and i want those birds out of my hanger and running picket duty until the other fighters are launched i will have fresh orders for them then"
"Aye, aye sir" then the is a distinct click as the connection is suspended and I hang up my end as well
I sit back for a second unsure of what else but making sure to not let this show on my face. My men need to see me confident and determined.
"let me know once we find a match for the ships and also send a contact report to fleet headquarters" I order to the open air
"Aye, aye sir" is echoed from several places around the bridge. I then hear from the same ensign as earlier "10 miles sir ETA to contact one minute"
I look around my bridge at all the men and women working so diligently before my eyes settle on the main screen, showing the opposing ships launching their own fighters. not many but enough that my own pilots will be fighting an uphill battle.
"Sir we have received a message on an encrypted comms channel"
"Sir they are launching something, Sensors indicate they will impact Life support, the main reactor, and the engine bay" I hear simultaneously.
"Evasive maneuvers" i order as i grip onto the bars around the console "send the message to my Terminal, Brown" i say to the young woman that said we had received it.
I hear in the background "All crew Brace for evasive maneuvers" then i feel the gut churning sensation of my vessel violently maneuvering in all directions through the void. After a few seconds go by i look to the young officer manning the helm and ask "what's the situation Johnston"
he quickly replies "They don't appear to be guided by any sensors so they are still tracking us sir"
I suddenly remember the message and glance at the screen of my console. It's some long-winded document i dont have the time to read right now. Of course, typical aliens.
I keep my hold on the bars as I wait for the all clear to be sounded or worse the feeling whatever it is hitting my ship. Then it happens I'm shaken violently as men and women are thrown around the bridge like toys. I myself am knocked back against the bulkhead. Yet I neither hear nor feel an explosion.
“Damage report” I demand as I struggle to my feet along with most of the bridge crew. I look around as the young sailors put their trust in my, half full coffee cups thrown all around their contents spill wildly everywhere pens, pencils, and notepads scattered about the room. And I think back that not just the people hear but every sailor on my ship trusts me to make sure they get home safely. And I just failed them. Some of my sailors just died in that hit. But I can't grieve. I've still got sailors and marines aboard that are still alive.
“Sir two of the projectiles missed one hit near the engine bay severing power to two of our three engines. No casualties in the engine bay I can reach right now but it appears 4 marines, MIA presumed sucked into the vacuum and 9 were injured by shrapnel. Also sir the weapons appear to be some kind of kinetic kill weapon. We are lucky it was a glancing blow. If it had been a solid hit it would have blown us in half.” indeed it was lucky but right now i've got to find a way to escape and warn other human ships.
“Brown Forward that message to all human naval ships in comms range with an addendum to forward to FLEETCOM then begin loading it for long range comms so we can send it to them too” I say briefly having forgotten about it in the chaos.
Just then I heard one of the crew ask “are we gonna make it sir?”
I look around the room and I'm reminded that most of them haven’t even reached 20 years old yet. But for every look of fear I see I also see a grim determination behind their eyes. They aren’t stupid they know a destroyer like ours can’t survive the fleet of ships facing us.
Just as I go to reply I feel the ship shudder again but this time it's reassuring. I look out one of the port holes as I see one of the fighters get launched from the hangar. Doubtless the other one has been launched on the other side.
“Only way is if we fight hard and honestly if a QRF is quick, Wickham” I say finally answering the lingering question. I let out a sigh as I look at the fear written on his face. He has only been on ship for maybe a week having just completed his job schooling. Hell the poor guy probably shouldn’t be on the bridge. His senior LIDAR operator fell sick before departure and had to be left behind. “Don't worry you're doing fine” I say , trying to encourage the boy.
“Sir enemy Fighters Closing to engage”
“Sir enemy entering firing range”
“Sir they are launching more of those weapons” I hear in a cacophony of voices as several people all try to inform me of various things at once.
I don't even need to say anything as the ship desperately tries to maneuver to avoid the KKW inbound. I also feel the vibrations as nearly every point defense gun comes to life trying to fend off the enemy fighters.
Suddenly i feel the ship rock again as something explodes somewhere in the ship
I look to Tafoya for an explanation “One of our fighters was destroyed while launching damage to the hanger is severe sir” she says without needing any prompting.
The thought that I wouldn't have anyone in the universe but her helping command the right now, not even Leonidas and his spartans.
My eyes scan the room as everyone is working vigorously relaying information and targeting data to where it needs to go. I can tell the ship isn’t going to escape the KKW this time. Not with two thirds of our engines inoperable.
“Commander order our fighters to kill those fucking KKW’
“Aye, aye” is the response i get the stress starting to drip into my XOs voice
Suddenly i feel the ship lurch forward and a few seconds later somewhere in the bridge i hear “Captain Damage control has restored power to the engines”
“Johnston, close with the enemy and put their destroyer between us and the rest of their ships. I want all guns to focus fire on their destroyer as well” i order with renewed vigor “ we gotta kill at least one of the bastard ships right?”
“YES SIR!” I hear definitely shouted back surprisingly I hear Wickham enthusiastically among them.
“What's the status of our shields have they come back online since that hit we took? I request
“No sir it was a lot of force they took the will be down for the foreseeable future” the shielding tech Petty officer Vega calls out
I watch as the enemy destroyer is Hammered mercilessly by our guns and missiles but defiantly refusing to die.
“Lieutenant Raff your cleared to fire a nuclear warhead against the battlecruiser”
“Hell yeah sir we are cooking now” I hear back with no small amount of excitement in his voice.
I lean forward the adrenaline racing through my body as the distinct alarm warning of a nuclear launch starts to sound. I punch my ship intercom to being active and say “all crew brace for danger close nuclear detonation” the distance between us and the enemy fleet rapidly closing
I hear shouts as I watch in horror as one of the fighters gets hit and spirals out of control towards the Resilience before I can call out a warning on my still active intercom it slams into one of the forward most gun batteries ripping it clean off the hull. Unfortunate gunners are ripped from their posts and flung deep into the blackness as the very air around them turns into the instrument of their death.
“Medical teams to turret A'' I say into my mic before shutting down the intercom knowing already it's futile. No one was left in the remains of the turret. We also now only have 2 fighters left and against a swarm of enemy fighters that's only growing
Suddenly there is a bright flash and everyone shields their eyes and not even a moment later the ship is rocked violently again as the shock wave from the nuclear detonation blankets the ship. The lights and systems flicker for a moment as the electromagnetic shielding built into the ship threatens to fail.
“Sitrep” i call out
Wickham speaks up “LIDAR Shows all fighters in the area destroyed sir it appears the battle cruiser was hit pretty hard but i can’t say how much damage, the blast did blow here a few miles out of formation so thats good.”
All the sudden cheers erupt as I look to see the enemy destroyer begin to go critical then detonate throwing debris and whole sections of the ship in all directions. I couldn’t celebrate though. I couldn’t remember if I had warned the pilots of the nuke… I just gave an order that just murdered my own men.
“Close with the nearest ship” I shout over the cheers of my crew “Tafoya Damage report” I then say while looking at my XO again.
“It's not good sir, the continuous fire from so many ships has left nearly every deck leaking atmo, and half our point defense guns are melted to slag. Of the missiles we haven't fired, their launchers are too damaged to fire. And our FTL ate a round from the main turret battery on the cruiser so retreat is no longer an option. At least not unless we abandon ship” she says solemnly. Fortunately no one heard her over their excitement of all that's going on.
I look down briefly then back to her “I think we have done enough. We don't know who they are or why they are attacking us. As far as we know they are well equipped pirates that were intent on taking some human slaves from one of the colonies around here. We have bloodied their noses nicely. Now lets see about making an escape especially since we managed to get a warning out to nearby ships. I think you're right, we’re abandoning ship.”
“Are you sure? They might retreat now that we have damaged their battle cruiser?”
“Doubtful. If they are pirates we are a lone heavily damaged destroyer and they outnumber us they will take revenge. If they are some kind of professional force they will likely push the attack because of the state of our ship. In addition to the fact that we only got a kill on their destroy so unless it had some mission sensitive equipment they still have their own orders to complete”
“Fuck” she says “I hate that your right”
“So do I”
“How are we gonna get away in the pods?”
“I'm gonna stay with the ship with a volunteer skeleton crew and continue to fight”
“God damn it Trevor this isn’t a fucking movie, and its not the 1800s you dont have to go down with your ship”
“No i don't but if i don’t they will either destroy the pods or pick them up before the microdrive in them can get you to safety”
“Fine i'm staying too”
“Nope i'm ordering you to lead the crew to safety”
“Fuck you” she says the anger and pain clear in her voice. Can’t blame her id feel the same way if i were in her shoes getting ordered to abandon people like that.
I reach over and click the ship intercom into the on position again “All crew. You all fought hard and bravely. But the gigs up, abandon ship” i then flip it off and pick up my phone flipping it to the CIC once more “Bridge to CIC the is Captain Anderson. Please transfer all your functions to the bridge.”
“Sir, are you staying on the ship?”
“Yes I am”
“Sir you won't have the main guns If you do. Would you like me to order the gun crews to stay in place?”
“No only ask for volunteers to stay”
“Aye, aye sir and thank you for letting us fight with you” is all I hear before the click of the operator on the other end hanging up.
“Alright Everyone, I need some volunteers to stay and help me man the ship while everyone else escapes. Who's staying? I ask as the noise of everyone shuffling to get into their groups for the escape pods. The lull in the battle created by the nuke becoming more evident.
After a few seconds several people step away from their groups back to their posts. Among them Johnston and Wickham. I step back to my post as well before having a thought
“Oh and none of you think that the XO is fleeing out of cowardice. I've ordered her to go with you to maintain control.” with that i wave my hand for them to go as a notification pings on my terminal. As I look at it I see it's a report from the CIC on the gun crews that are staying behind.
It reads as “ Turret A all KIA Turret B 6 gunners staying behind Turret Y 5 gunners Turret Z 2 gunners who are transferring to the other turrets.” I sigh at the report. At least it's better than nothing. I look away as the last of the crew leaves the room and look around at the handful of faces as suddenly I become aware that the battlecruiser is almost back into position while it seems the EMP shielding on the Heavy Cruiser Failed and she is drifting limply through space.
That does last long as I see lights across the ship come back online and the engines begin to relight.
“Wickham, where is the Light cruiser?” i demand as escape pods begin to jettison from the ship
“I… I don't know sir it's disappeared from my scope i think the nuke damaged the Lidar sir but i don’t know i wouldn’t really know how to tell” he stammers out
“Alright we need to find her i very highly doubt she was destroyed” i say but Johnston speaks up
“Sir she was blown off course as well but unlike the battle cruiser she seems down for the count im seeing multiple small explosions all over the hull. Your probably right that she won't be destroyed but she isn’t in fighting shape anymore sir.”
“Ok. lets close with that heavy and fuck her up before she is able to get back on her feet” i then click on my intercom and say into “gun crews fire on the Heavy cruiser put as many shells down range as you can before he power systems stabilize” i leave it open so i can command the guns easier as i move to one of the weapons stations and set the point defense to begin firing on the cruiser as well before moving back to my post.
“Sir, I've received a communique from the TIS Propriety. She and 3 other ships will be here in 30 minutes”
I chuckle and say “I guess it's better that they are late than not showing up at all right.” earning a few half hearted laughs
Suddenly the ship rocks violently and we are all thrown around again and I get up and run to the engineering console and see that we got hit with another KKW. it true to what i was told has blown us in half the back half continuing on under its own power albeit with no real control to where it's going. I look out the port hole to see all the guns still blazing away.
“Johnston Stabilize the ship Wickem get over to one of the weapon stations and take over the targeting for our secondaries.” I command knowing the computer can’t correct for the wildly spinning ship. Even if we lost the Main engines the ship still has RCS thrusters to help control the ship at various points. Heres hope we still have enough to get our ship under control as we struggle to move under the intense G forces.
Struggling to stay standing at this point i call out to johnston “Damn it get this ship stabilized we can't fight like this”
I watch as the back half of the ship suddenly explodes in the split second I could see it before it passes out of view for a short time but as we come back around all that's left is debris.
It takes a few seconds but those seconds feel like hours as I begin to feel the rate of spin and rotation begin to slow as Wickham finally makes it to the weapons station. Finally able to crawl a bit as the Gs lessen, I move over to one of the other crew that stayed behind and grab her.
“Go over the and man that console i want to know if we have incoming” i then crawl with her over there and climb up the console as we slow even more finally being able to stand but feeling uncomfortably heavy.
As I look at the console I start trying to see the status of our missile tubes. desperately i look through them to find one that still has missiles. I find a few that say they haven’t fired them but from the damage indicators one would think the missiles inside had detonated before launching but i do find one with Three missiles thats lost power so i begin making my way over to the engineering console as the young woman from before call out to Johnston so he can try and use what few abilities to move as he can to avoid incoming fire. It's not doing much as I watch our main battery take a direct hit, blowing it to pieces and leaving us with only point defense and a handful of secondaries. As I make it to the terminal I want I look up and see that the heavy cruiser has been peppered harshly with our fire and looks terrible. But that just looks like only their armor was shredded; it's unlikely our guns went through it and into any major subsystems.
I begin despairingly searching through the ship electrical systems to find a way to get power back to the missiles. I finally find a way to reroute the power and hopefully restore power by retracting one of the point defense guns and using its barrel as a jumper to get power flowing again.
I do this and then rush over to a weapons station but am knocked off my feet as the ship is rocked with fire again. I can hear the compartment behind the bridge explosively decompress as the bulkhead shudders and bow outward due to the sudden uncontrolled decompression. Fortunately it holds and I scramble to my feet
As I get to the weapons station I set it to the missile launcher and begin the process of selecting the target. I don't hesitate and select the Heavy Cruiser and click the button to launch. I watch as the 3 missiles burst from their tubes and race off to their target. Fortunately one thing us peppering that Cruiser did was knock out a lot of the PD weapons.
Suddenly I hear “INCOMING!! BRACE! BRACE! BRA-”

The Undraftables: Week 5 Update (Going into/during Week 6)
I initially undertook this challenge with the NBA and decided to extend it to MLB as well. The rules are simple: I cannot select any player who has an Average Draft Position (ADP), regardless of how high or low it may be. Even if a player's ADP is 250+, they are off-limits if they have any average draft position. My draft took place on Sunday, April 7th. Admittedly, this was after the start of the season, but my focus had been primarily on the NBA season, leaving me with limited time to prepare for baseball. Nevertheless, I managed to squeeze in most of my MLB prep work within a few days/week. This is a standard 12 team head to head category league on yahoo with 6 adds per week. The buy-in was lower than my usual, but not free (inactivity and too easy).
Here was the draft results:

1. (6) Lance McCullers Jr. (HOU - SP)
2. (19) Drew Rasmussen (TB - SP)
3. (30) Dustin May (LAD - SP)
4. (43) Ronel Blanco (HOU - SP,RP)
5. (54) Brady Singer (KC - SP)
6. (67) Paul Blackburn (OAK - SP)
7. (78) Cody Bradford (TEX - SP,RP)
8. (91) Chad Green (TOR - RP)
9. (102) Steven Matz (STL - SP,RP)
10. (115) Tanner Houck (BOS - SP)
11. (126) Tyler Anderson (LAA - SP)
12. (139) Spencer Turnbull (PHI - SP)
13. (150) Connor Joe (PIT - 1B,OF)
14. (163) José Caballero (TB - 2B,SS)
15. (174) Gio Urshela (DET - 1B,3B,SS)
16. (187) Will Brennan (CLE - OF)
17. (198) Jake McCarthy (AZ - OF)
18. (211) Jorge Mateo (BAL - SS)
19. (222) Dairon Blanco (KC - OF)
20. (235) Jacob Young (WSH - OF)
21. (246) Bubba Thompson (CIN - OF)
22. (259) Trevor Williams (WSH - SP)
23. (270) Reese McGuire (BOS - C)

So here we are! I made it through yet another week with this "bad team". I would like to talk about last week's matchup: I pulled off a smashing 6-4 victory! I hit .264 and stole 11 bases (despite not fielding a full offense for half the week!) for my hitting category wins, then for pitching I won W(6), Saves(4), K(75), and WHIP(0.91)! Opponent had a crazy low era of only 2.11 to beat my very low 2.76. "Can't win them all" haha. I had extremely been benefited by selecting the best two start streamers possible! Jon Gray, Garret Crochet and Jameson Taillon came in enormously here to help! Crochet with 13k, 2.45era, 0.55whip plus a win for me, and Gray with 10k, 1.80era, 0.67whip plus a win for me, and then Taillon with 0.68era, 0.68whip plus a win!!! Having streamers with 2 starts that perform this extremely well almost guarantees winning more pitching categories. It adds "upside". Truly I got lucky in that aspect though, because no way did I expect THIS from them!!! I will take it. :) Some of my offensive hitters who helped me win my two categories were Yandy Diaz hitting .462 after I added him, Ahmed Rosario .278 with 2sb, Maikel Garcia .269, 1sb, Jose Caballero .263 with 4sb, Jacob Young 2sb, and Jake McCarthy who hit strong .357 with 1sb. I guess Sal Frelick contributed 1sb too! With this win I actually move down in standings to 3rd place with a record of 24-16. All top 4 teams are within 2 games of each other!
I would like to discuss my solo trade that I pulled off for a bit. I send out my fishing rod with a very high volume of trade offers and one of them got a bite! There is usually much communication and sometimes back and forth that happens. I type very much to my fellow managers. I been lucky they have worked with me and communicated back and forth. But this trade for this week in particular they just quickly accepted! I wrote about them getting a closer in Ginkel (even though he is likely to lose the role depending on the health of Sewald) and wrote up Ronel Blanco enormously. I had 2 paragraphs talking him up. Then I talked down about Sale regarding his health/injury history and his age where he might be washed and how he struggled in his start against weak offense in MIA. Well my narratives worked. While I don't fully thing this is a "slam dunk" guaranteed win (because those narratives are actually honest and slight concern) I do think I got the better side in large part because Sale rotation spot is secure and ATL will get plenty of wins. (Sale already has 4 wins and he is a proven winner in his illustrious career). This trade is similar to my previous trades because again I'm banking on career track record rather than "this season stats". Also, Chris Sale has been one of my favorite players for years and years now! Did I make the trade due to my fandom bias? Not really, but if I'm being honest maybe sorta? I don't like to tell my friends "I have Ronel Blanco on my team", I want to tell my friends that "I have future hall of famer Chris Sale". :) It may not work out in my favor though, we shall see!!!
My matchup for this current week features an opponent who has stolen 20 bases on the season (vs my 33) so I feel safe in that category. There will be a real close call for AVG with them hitting .269 on season (vs my .259). (Big reason why I added in Jackson Merrill). I also may move off Ruiz or drop a pitcher to sub instead of Ruiz (cuz long term the speed skills for Ruiz are too intriguing to just let go of?) and I would add a hitter with more AVG. (Jung Hoo Lee keeps staring at me so enticingly! Or maybe I'm the one staring at him? Someone tell his girlfriend/wife? haha) Number of options that I'm pontificating. I also wanted Ruiz for the doubleheader games on WED. So my move might be after those games. I concede HR and RBI as I have no chance. I may also concede Runs, but last week I was only 10 behind in runs... If I wanted to chase runs the best play would have been getting more bats from OAK and TEX (Something that might be useful to some of you in your waiver moves this week), but I decided to be playing the long term future focus and securing a very strong hit tool hitter (65grade) like Merrill was very important to me.
For the pitching matchup, they have thrown 219k vs my 244k so that still might get close... Their ratios are very bad with 3.80era and 1.17whip on season in comparison to my league leading 2.26era and 1.02whip, but of course that can fluctuate based on MLB team matchups. They have 7 starters (9 scheduled starts) and only 2 relievers so I have the slight edge on more saves with my 3 relievers. I only have 10 scheduled starts so it could get quite close in the wins and strikeouts battles!!! That will be a debate for me midweek/late-week if I add streaming pitching or higher AVG hitters. Some of you might wonder how I know these stats on my opponents, well make sure you check the TEAM STATS page (on yahoo) to gain this information on your opponents as it will give you an insight on their strengths and weaknesses. (Do be aware that moves they have made can fluctuate this slightly/drastically) It will help you in determining what categories you can attack each week or which ones to punt. I track this in a notepad document for each league that I am in and refer to it every night as I decide the moves I make or do not make. "Sometimes the best moves you make are actually the moves you DO NOT make." Same concept/phrase applies for trades.
In terms of the moves I have made already on MON and my future moves this week, well I'm also eyeing up my streams for later in the week too. Kodai Senga I felt was an absolute must add considering his return timetable could be only a few weeks out. His numbers last season were that of an Ace (2.98era, huge k rate, 12wins). Being able to add an Ace on the waiver wire is *chefs kiss*. He was dropped a few days earlier (by a diamond rated manager). I mention that because there is this thought out in the community that "my league never drops great players or ever makes easy trades", yet I continue to see across my leagues (and others that people mention) that managers are in fact dropping great players. I took note of that manager and added the relevant information into my nerdy little notepad document. "Team XYZ doesn't like injured players". Although in their defense, actually at the time they made the drop they had 5 players injured and only 4 IL spots. (Gerrit Cole, Senga, Fairbanks, Yelich, Josh Lowe). It's also possible Senga could have a setback so there is risk in that regard... I possibly could have went with a 2 start SP streamer like Luis Gil or Simeon Woods Richardson (looked amazing) (both were in strong consideration for me!). I almost went with Tyler Anderson, but glad I decided against that as he struggled MON. There is a debate on the value of Gavin Stone vs MIA tomorrow, but then I would miss out on the start of Crochet or Fedde if I were to drop them so it's "not ideal for maximum starts" type of thing... Civale vs CWS is also available but he struggled last time vs CWS and his last 3 starts have been terrible. Some interesting other options too.
I feel pretty good about my offense to be honest. Even though there is not be huge superstar names, they are still "useful" for what I want them to do. (As mentioned in last weeks update) Because of this I do think it is more likely my moves will be for pitching. I'm a tad worried Sal Frelick hit 7th on MON. I want him at leadoff. Oh! I want to mention that I tried trading for Tyler Black and the guy rejected trade, but then turns around the next day and dropped Tyler Black!!! (bit odd) So Mr. Black is absolutely on my radar to add! He has those contact, OBP, speed and hits top part of the lineup! SIGN ME UP!
Bit of strategy talk here regarding my team build. The goal of a punt power build is to win 2 offensive categories (Ideally 3 eventually, R, AVG, SB) and win 4-5 pitching categories. (If you are able to obtain closers you have upside to win 5 pitching cats, if you punt saves then your upside is 4 and you would be more consistently likely to win WINS and K categories) I technically currently have the upside to win all 5 pitching and 2 hitting categories. (If I gain runs value I would even have maximum upside of 8 categories! 5+3=8) Remember that in category leagues you ONLY NEED TO WIN 6 categories folks! This is the benefit of punting! (And technically in h2h playoffs you can have a tie 5-5 and still advance to next round due to season standings and matchup ranking!) I think punting gives you less variance than other builds? Or maybe this less variance is just from having high AVG contact hitters? Discuss? (Could be an ongoing discussion throughout the season)
There is an interesting topic to bring up regarding trading for hitters who fit the "punt power" type of team build. I think buying low on Kwan and Trea Turner now become viable possibilities for my team and other punt power teams that may exist out there! If you have any other names that could be buy low, I'm all ears. Remember to always keep an eye out for prospects coming up who have the skills that you want/need! Sometimes you can trade away your current assets that you have for upgrades at weak positions on your team and then fill those holes of the guys you traded away with prospects who are coming up soon or have already come up. (Or a hot waiver wire bat that will fill in temporarily) In this way you become a team with "less weaknesses" (Of course that advice can apply to all sorts of type of team builds in head to head category leagues). What this means for this Undraftables team is I may be able to flip my pitching assets for hitting upgrades that give the full trifecta of RUNS, AVG, SB. (Corbin Caroll firmly on my future radar) Maybe I should already be sending feelers, hmmm...
Overall, I'm quite happy with my team's performance and strategy, even though it's considered a tougher challenge. As mentioned my goal is to win by a score of 6-4 or tie 5-5, but eventually will have upside to win 7-3 or even 8-2. I'm willing to make adjustments for each week and consider player recommendations to achieve that goal. So far, this has gone better than I expected (whereas this was tougher in the NBA)! One of the bigger takeaways you can glean from this strategy is that there are numerous ways to win a category league. I have won with punt power strategy for 3-4 years now so for me it is "proven winner". (Notate that this punt power strategy has NOT been tested in Roto YET. I plan to test that next year. Is this the best way to "punt power"? No, remember this was an "extra challenge" that I set forth upon myself.) You really don't have to go "Undraftables" (hard mode) like I have! A big takeway is that having superstars (or stars) undeniably will help a build like this do even better (Ronald Acuna, Elly De La Cruz, Witt, Corbin Carroll, etc), but you don't necessarily "need" those superstars. Instead you just need to have the right build or combination of players and a focus on your matchups. (In fantasy and MLB) There are various "useful" players with skill sets that are still worthy. You don't always need "The best player" in everything. (At least NOT IN A CATEGORY LEAGUE) If you have suffered severe injuries to some power hitters (like Trout, Casas, Royce Lewis, Josh Jung) you could transition and/or trade into a "punt power build" to try it out? (Or that could be something you consider further down the road in the season too) If you need help on how to do it, I'm your guy!
I'll provide weekly updates on Monday mornings (Tuesday for this week) on the team's progress, so let me know if you'd like to follow along or have any suggestions! Thoughts on the team? If you want the previous updates on the team with "How I ended up here" and each week breakdown you can find them in a FB group or I can send them to you in a message. (I wasn't able to post early in season because I changed reddit profiles (hated my username) from last year which had bunches of karma!) (Can't post if you don't have enough karma) Additionally, I'm recruiting for next year, (although this is NOT the central goal of this post) where this unique drafting strategy will be the league's standard for each owner.

Commitment has it’s costs…
I don’t think they will understand how much you have to commit when putting forth efforts to research (for anything actually) especially when it comes to a true crime case. You don’t want to spread miss lead information or faults statements because that’s not telling the true story of what happened. So in order to be able to do justice and have actual fact proven confirmation when it comes to the information it takes serious commitment and dedication to find the answers that you seek.
**So when your partner tells you that they will support you 100% when it comes to your passion…., then the very next morning gets aggravated with you because you were on research projects until 2 o’clock in the morning because you got led down a rabbit hole and was invested already at that time. I know for a fact that I am not the only guilty one of this; when you’re fixated on what you’re doing at that moment you just feel like if I stop midway I’m going to lose my thought process with this lead. In my defense though I had put this case away for a couple months so coming back to it it’s not only finding new leads but also a refresher of information.
(Seeings as I have a hide and seek elves in the house somewhere, my entire file with all my hand written notes that took hours of investigating and court documents etc. are MIA at the moment)

#		Team	Δ	Comment	Record
1		Dodgers	+2	The Dodgers go into this next week after having swept the Braves and stepping on the sneks. They lead the league in run differential by a significant margin and seem to only be heating up. BlaQ Treinen hasreturning and not to mention Walker frickin Buehler returning after basically 2 years on the IL. I hope this team continues to prove they deserve the hype because damn us fans have been feasting lately.	23-13
2		Orioles	+2	Wow some insane starting pitching this week. Was good to see Bradish and Means come back and pitch incredibly well. The Orioles starters over the last 20 games have a 2.55 ERA, and over the last 7 it's barely above a 1.00. Now to think that can continue is a big stretch, however we now have a rotation of Burnes, Rodriguez (when off the IL), Bradish, Means, Irvin and Kremer. I don't think it'll stay a six-man rotation, but who knows. Either way it was fun to watch this week. Westburg also is quietly putting together a solid first full season. He is much better than I thought he would be as an everyday player. This week it is the surprising Nationals and the slumping D-Backs, with a couple of days off thrown in. Hopefully we can go 4-1.	23-11
3		Phillies	+3	The Phillies have the best record in baseball in May on the back of winning 16 of 19 after starting the season at 8-8. Granted, it hasn't been against the best teams, but it hasn't all been against cellar dwellers. They're propelled largely by the red hot Alec Bohm and his 18 game hitting streak. He has a 1.278 OPS with RISP and leads the league in average and RBIs. He flashed a bit of this potential in his rookie 2020 season, but this is next level. The bad news is that Trea Turner is set to miss around six weeks with a hamstring strain. They have good depth in Whit Merrifield and Edmundo Sosa, but losing Turner and him losing his own momentum will hurt. This week, one more against the Giants before a 2 game set against Toronto, followed by 3 in Miami.	24-11
4		Yankees	-2	A sweep against Detroit is a sign for optimism, taking one of four against Baltimore is scary. Rizzo and Soto are both firing off right now, and Judge is steadily picking up the pace. Luis Gil seems to be a massive positive surprise, and Lord knows we could use another solid starter. Clay Holmes is the epitome of lights out, probably the hottest player on the team at the moment. The whole rotation has an ERA between 3.00 and 4.00, which is perfectly decent and sure to get better when Cole returns and relegates [redacted] to the bullpen. We play Houston starting on Tuesday, and I’m expecting the Bleacher Creatures to directly quote Kendrick Lamar’s recent diss tracks to Astros players. Ahem... Them cheating powers gettin’ neutralized, I can only watch in silence, the famous Astros we once knew is lookin’ paranoid and spiralin’. You’re movin’ like a trash can beater, every sign is feelin’ stolen. I calculate you’re not as calculated, you can’t even predict my every fastball.	23-13
5		Braves	-4	Oof. This week sucked. It really really sucked. But we have played three first place teams in a row, including 6 games on a west coast road trip. This is one of the toughest 9 game stretches any team will play all year. We will be ok. This team is built to win, and they will. Everybody calm down.	20-12
6		Guardians	-1	What a shitty week. The Braves series was a nightmare and we only won one game by one run in extra innings. Same with the Astros, who finally appeared to be bad. Then my streak of the Guardians winning games I go to died when they were playing the Angels, who I actually thought WERE bad. At that game, they got shut out. Then after that, they won the two games I didn't go to this past weekend. Maybe that's a sign of them coming back to life.	22-12
7		Brewers	0	The Brewers were on the wrong end of some poor umpiring and close loses this week, which I suppose beats being the poor umpiring and blowout losses of last week. Fortunately, their strong start to the season is keeping them on top of the division as they try to bounce back against the Royals and Cardinals this week.	20-13
8		Cubs	0	Another week, another 2 games the Cubs lost because the bullpen could not hold a lead. It now seems that no lead is safe, because nearly every game where the Cubs have a lead ends up with Hector Neris performing a high-wire act in the 9th inning. While he has gotten out of it more times than not, it is clearly unsustainable and not helping the cardiac health of the Northside. Furthermore, seemingly the entire offense has gone quiet, with numerous key players being mired in massive slumps. Despite all these woes, the Cubs went 4-3 behind a rotation that has been lights out, allowing just 4 ER in 7 games. The rotation will also get a large boost with the return of Justin Steele, who has been on the IL since opening day with a hamstring strain. He will look to get back on track as the Cubs play 3 against the Padres in Wrigley before a 3 game set in Pittsburgh.	21-14
9		Twins	+6	The streak is over, but 12 wins in a row has given this team a completely different look. These are the Twins we were promised going into the season, and despite our slow start, we've dug ourselves out of that early hole and are ready to compete. The offense has come to life, and as we're getting our injured guys back things are only getting better in Minnesota.	19-14
10		Rangers	+1	Pitching is continuing to wear thin after another starter hitting the DL, this time with Eovaldi being forced out due to groin issues. Wyatt Langford will be joining that list too today due to his hamstrings. The injury luck has not been on the Ranger's side this year so far. 3 series wins in a row though has helped.	19-16
11		Mariners	+1	Braves? Handled. Astros? Dumped on. This team continues to cruise along, getting their series win streak up to six. The starter 2 ER streak has ended, but the rotation overall is still looking like 4 Cy Young candidates and a far-exceeding expectations Hancock. Woo likely makes his return during the next homestand, and I expect Hancock will be sent back down, but he's done a hell of a job. Still waiting on the offense to click (Rojas aside, who is sneakily having a ridiculous season so far), but hopefully they show up soon. Also, welcome to my first week of more accurate ratings this season - I definitely didn't accidentally forget to update a few of my formulas to point to this year's stats instead of last year's, that would be very stupid of me! Up next: 4 @ Minnie Soda, 3 vs. SELL THE TEAMs	19-15
12		Royals	-2	The news that the Royals were interested in Luis Arraez speaks volumes. A fast start seemingly has the front office thinking big and dreaming of a run through October. It also would appear to signal that the Royals are going to be making moves to improve the roster. Let's see where they are in June, but this could be a fun trade deadline.	20-15
13		Red Sox	-4	Dear Dobert, I'll never forget the day you first graced our roster, August 30th, 2020. You showed us your long ball swing, and that day a city fell in love. For some, these feelings faded as the years went by, the honeymoon period receding as the all-too-usual resentment began to set in, but not I. I choose to remember the 46 dingers, not the 369 strikeouts. I saw you when you came back this year with improved defense. I know in my heart that you were just one game away from breaking out. May you mash for the rest of your days in AAA my sweet prince.	19-16
14		Padres	+5	Prellar gets a lot of deserved hate from our community, including from myself, so it takes a lot for me to admit when it seems that he's right about something. Prospects are just that, so we won't know for years what they turn out to be, and if the deal was worth it in retrospect. The best Padre Prospect in the deal is Dillon Head, a 19 year old outfield in Lake Elsinore (High A), so a few years away from the majors at least. One of Prellar's biggest faults as a gm has been the lack of depth, and the results of a star-studded lineup without the depth to back them up. So, the depth here of a certified major league contact bat in Luis Arraez is greatly appreciated. He had an amazing debut in Az on Saturday too, going 4/6 with an rbi. With the Padres not looking to enter the luxury tax again (and face the repeater's tax), their options had seemed limited in what they could do here. Well, the Marlins are paying almost all of Arraez's salary along in the deal...Props to Prellar. The Pads couldn't quite sweep the snakes or the Reds, but 2 outta 3 aint bad, man.	18-19
15		Tigers	-1	Riley Greene is blossoming right before our very eyes. If you haven't been paying attention, this is your offical notice to see the improvements the very-soon-to-be All Star is making. Terrorizing baseballs in the zone, being more selective on pitches to damage, and taking his walks at the plate, Greene is slashing .269/.397/.538 while still recovering from Tommy John surgery. This week: 3 at CLE, 3 vs. HOU.	18-16
16		Rays	+4	Cash is now the winningest manager in Rays history. Someone shouted "Do a kickflip!" at Jonny DeLuca and he landed it with his eyes closed. Randy hit a clutch HR. Our city connects are literally fire. Josh Lowe is coming back. The Rays may never lose again.	17-18
17		Mets	-1	The Mets look like a thoroughly mid team. Pitching prospect Christian Scott has joined our rotation and had a great debut over the weekend, Adrian Houser has been sent to the bullpen. We played every day this week and went 2-5. Candidly, I'm having a lot of trouble paying attention to a 16-18 Mets team during a Knicks playoff run - hopefully the season isn't completely lost by the time they have my undivided attention again.	16-18
18		Reds	-5	Aghast, the Reds dost most sucketh. Nay, 'tis but our offense that doth sucketh, whilst thine pitching hast been merely passable. 'Tis a troubling trend indeed, for each encounter with a formidable foe doth render us as naught but children seeking a place at the grown-ups' table. 'Tis not a comforting sight. The entirety of thine offense seemeth to have abandoned us. Thy dost witnessed the contest yester against the Orioles, and verily, it appeared mostest that we surrendered upon the first inning's conclusion. Thee doth wish for improvement upon the return of more players, yet if the absence of but three offensive players doth plunge our entire offense into oblivion, then verily, our situation is most direst. The Orioles hath thoroughly bested us as if we were mere peasants, and truth be told, thy am somewhat perplexed as to our course of action. A harsh sequence of matches doth loomest ahead, but that is a matter for the week hence.	16-18
19		Nationals	+5	TBH this team is better than I expected. They're so scrappy and their ability to get on base and steal bases is really impressive. The pitching still leaves a lot to be desired (they employ Patrick Corbin for Christ's sake) but that's not the final form. Jacob Young finally got caught stealing this week and hasn't stolen a base since April 29. I'm also really sad that Tanner Rainey is ass cheeks now. He can't even pitch in a blowout.	17-17
20		D-Backs	-2	The Diamondbacks had another bad week, dropping three-game series to both the Dodgers and the Padres. The offense is anemic on nights it's not scoring over 10 runs and the bullpen remains inexplicably bad no matter who is put in or taken out of it. The good news is the team is starting to get healthy, but it may be too big of a hole for the snakes to slither out of.	15-20
21		Blue Jays	-4	Remember that scene in Dumb and Dumber where the hitman thinks he's pulled one over on Lloyd and Harry, but instead he dies because they put hot peppers in his burger as a joke and then accidentally feed him a shit-ton of rat poison? That's the Blue Jays stellar rotation trying to survive in spite of our offense and bullpen right now. Toronto ranks 23rd in runs scored, with 4 of our most important hitters (Vlad, Bo, Springer, Kirk) having career-worst starts to a season. Our bullpen ranks 30th in ERA, 23rd in WHIP, 27th in Ks, and 26th in earned runs given up. This is one of last season's league-best bullpens that returned nearly every piece, btw. Even Sunday's game, where Alek Manoah looked actually serviceable for a few innings and Vladdy hit a grand slam, wound up as a 11-8 loss to cap another lost series. Anyone have any answers? Well, pick 'em up! MOCK! YEAH! ING! YEAH! BIRD! YEAH!	16-19
22		Athletics	+5	Bullpen fell off but offense heated up, so only one L (3-12 blowout to the Arraez-less Marlins) with an easy schedule, though we did score 20. Next up, Rangers and Mariners, and will probably drop from contention, but sending Noda and Allen down (along with Boyle soon 🙏) will help that	17-18
23		Pirates	-1	The Bucs closed out the week with back-to-back wins, but had lost 5 in a row before that — and scoring runs is still a titanic struggle. The front office is apparently trying to instill a three-true-outcomes approach through the organization, but forgot a crucial ingreditent: hitting home runs. Instead, Pirate hitters either strike out, walk, or hit weak fly balls. The results have been predictably terrible, and if the Pirates can't fix it soon, it's not going to matter when Paul Skenes debuts (it will probably be Friday)	16-19
24		Astros	-1	Signs of life - possibly even without playing all our games at high altitude! Jon Singleton has been a bit of a bright spot at first base with Jose Abreu graciously accepting a minor league assignment to work on his play. It's too early to entirely call us alive (see Saturday's shutout as evidence), but there is A New Hope that we might be turning things around.	12-22
25		Giants	-4	This hasn't been a particularly fun road trip and I would like it to stop. Losing games, losing players, losing the will to live. Okay, that's enough doom. This Giants team Tortured Catcher's Department is not as bad the results would suggest but at a certain point they have to, you know, win more baseball games. We can throw out like 40 million excuses -- some of them real, some of them from a fever dream when I napped for 6 hours yesterday instead of watching the game --but, at the end of the day, the Giants just have to play better. On paper, this roster is competent and competitive but the truth about Rock-Paper-Scissors is that everything beats paper. What sort of weak-ass rock is gonna lose to paper? "Oh no, you've covered me. Wow, you're so strong. GG." Get out of here with this paper team apologia. It's May you jackdaws. Play better. Be better. Congrats ownership, you've put together one of the more excicting rosters in recent memory and gotten the fans to come back in good numbers. Y'all own like an entire neighborhood in the city now but this isn't a ranking of which real estate investment group is the best at pretending to be a baseball team. Let them take Greyhound home so they can ponder their mistakes in life.	15-20
26		Cardinals	-1	They're partying like it's 2023 in St. Louis as they lose back to back series to the Tigers and White Sox halting any momentum that seemed to have existed for this club. The schedule doesn't exactly relent this week as they host the Mets and then head to Milwaukee for 4.	15-19
27		Angels	-1	Mike Trout's latest injury comes at an inopportune time. Not because this team was going anywhere—no, this team's fate was sealed long ago—but it was nice to at least have one watchable and fun thing. Now this team is down to...well...I am not exactly sure. At risk of jinxing any other performances after Reid Detmers, now with an ERA over 4, and Jo Adell, 3 for his last 27, and of course Mike Trout, out for an uncertain length of time, I'll stick with pointing out the futlity of it all for this week.	12-22
28		Marlins	+1	So long Lucho, well miss you. The return for Arraez seems a bit light given the fact that we had to pay some of his contract but that largely hinges on whether Head will end up being good (hehe). Rumors are that Jazz will be moved next, but well see how that goes. Thank god the Panthers are whippin ass this season cuz the fish are just tragic this year. That being said we got some good news on luzardo and braxton, theyre doing well on their rehab assignments and will be rejoining the team soon. Burger will also be joining us in the near future but hes still got some rehab assignmtents to work through before that happens. Our first series win of the season was also a sweep! The fish continue to be the better 93 expansion team compared to the rox. Sweepy bays for blood. This week we got 3 in LA against the trolley bois and then we head back home for a 3 game series against the phillies.	10-26
29		White Sox	+1	The White Sox are at the bottom of the league in wRC+ and have the third worst ERA in the league. They are 5-5 in their last 10 games (thanks to a 3 game sweep of the Rays the previous weekend), but there is still no optimism for any part of this organization. The most interesting thing that happened this week was when there was a 3 hour rain delay with 1 out to go in the 10th inning and then there was a horrible called third strike on the first batter after the delay. I got bored just writing that.	8-26
30		Rockies	-2	On Friday, we won a game while never trailing for the first time all season. We promptly lost the next two. All you can do is laugh.	8-26

We here at MFS don't do PvP games or PvE games for that matter. After my man's awful first time experience with Battlefield online due to an A-hole player and my not so good experience with COD online we vowed never again. It was always just us as a co-op couple or our single player games. OR only running with a very select three other gaming people we trusted.
Until Helldivers 2 came along.
When we first saw it on YT it was Markiplier, Bob, Wade and Ryann playing. We were like what the heck is this? Just another MP game that brought back slight PTSD from us being burned on prior similiar games. Then we watched more people just having a blast playing it. We watched all sorts of crazy shit that has us laughing until we nearly peed ourselves. Then we got the game and oh boy we didnt know WTF we were doing in the first four episodes we released on our channel.🤣 But we were hooked and soldiered on delivering those cups of Liber-Tea. And had some great convos with fellow Helldivers and even made a couple of new gamer friends we can play with now. (When our schedules allow for it)
But now one action has ruined what is a phenomenal gaming experience for so many all over the world. I truly do hope this can be resolved somehow, someway down the road so all our Helldiver breathen who are MIA can come back to us. Perhaps the massive backlash of this player shockwave will be enough of a gloveslap. Wishful thinking sure but we have power in just how many there are of us HDs.
For Liberty, Freedom and Managed Democracy!

Thanks to u/queenlegolas and u/Direct-Caterpillar77 for suggesting this BoRU
Trigger Warnings: verbal abuse, emotional abuse and manipulation, infidelity, gaslighting, betrayal
Original Post (rareddit): April 20, 2024
When I was 13 my dad had an affair and left my mom and moved in with his affair partner who ill call Jane.
At first me and my sister would visit every weekend and I will admit he was a good dad although I never liked Jane.
When Jane got pregnant and had their son our visits became less frequent and my dad was more concerned with his new family. He would miss some of my my recitals or my sisters competitions because he was busy with his son.
When I was 16. Jane decided she wanted to move for a new job opportunity. Me and my sister begged him not to leave us bit he just said "I need to prioritise my family". He moved 10 hours away. That pretty much ended our relationship and I decided to go no contact as it was clear he did not consider me family.
My younger sister stayed in contact with him. He would try and call me and offer for me to come and visit with my sister but I refused. When he came back to see my sister I would refuse to speak to him when he turned up at the house. I didn't invite him to my high school or college graduation.
I'm now 33 and have remained no contact with him, he has over the years repeatedly tried contacting me and getting his family to contact me on his behalf to reconcile. I have avoided family events in case he attended including my sisters wedding and baby showers.
My dad and his family moved back to our home town 3 months ago and he has been relentless trying to reconcile.
I have received messages from my half brother and sister wanting a relationship saying he's a great dad. My dad found out I'm getting married and keeps trying to contact me and has even tried to speak to my fiance.
Jane messaged me saying I have broke my dads heart repeatedly and I'm pathetic and should get therapy. I replied back that she was nothing but a home wrecking whore and then blocked her.
Everyone seems to be wanting me to let him back in my life. I'm sick of all the harassment and accidentally bumping into my dad and his family in the town. Whenever I see him I just walk away and refuse to speak to them. Everyone is saying he's a good dad and tried his best to remain in contact but I pushed him away.
Everyone is pressuring me my mom, sister. Grandparents aunts and uncles, even some of my friends. My fiance has even started saying I'm the AH for shutting him out. Its all starting to get to me so am I aita?
Edit:
Thank you for your comments I haven't got through all of them but I'm glad to know that most of you think I'm NTA which is a huge relief as I thought I was going insane.
I'm going to have a serious conversation with my fiance as most of you pointed out he should have my back. If he continues to defend my dad then I'm going to have to think if this relationship should go any further. We are 12 weeks out from the wedding but need to sort this out sooner than later.
For information
I own a local business moving away is not an option
I live in a small town where everyone knows everyone and he is friends with a lot of people including my fiance family.
My dad did not come back for me - he came back because Jane’s parents need help and care.
He has not financially supported me since I was 17 he witheld my college fund to try and blackmail me into having a relationship with him so I had to work and get loans.
I've avoided events because my family use it as a chance to force reconciliation. He also won't leave me alone and makes scenes - hell come up to me talking as if nothing has happened try to hug me or starts crying.
I cant simply cut everyone off - everyone is on his side and against me including my own mother.
Edit 2
To give you all a bit more context when he left my mom for Jane he only wanted us on the weekend my mom offered him 50/50 but refused.
I didn't like Jane and was standoffish with her because I knew what they had done- my sister was too young to understand and was more accepting of her. Jane was mean to me but nice to my sister when I was at my dad's I felt uncomfortable and she would purposefully leave me out of fun activities or plan things purely for my sister. We had a few arguments over minor things but my dad always took her side. My dad and me used to have daddy daughter date at least once every 2 weeks. Jane put a stop to that.
When she had my half brother we went from going every weekend to once every 6 weeks. My dad was MIA and had finally gotten his precious son. He stopped trying with me.
When they moved I was so upset he chose to leave us. He didn't want custody just for us to visit him every now and again and speak to him on the phone. Parenting at a distance so all of his focus was on his new family
When I graduated from high school and refused to invite him everything blew up Jane called me some terrible names and so did my dad and he refused to give me my college fund unless i started being part of the family again. From what I gathered, he spent it on his new family.
I'm sick of being the one to miss out on events with my family. I would be willing to be in the same room but not interact or even be civil but he pushes things and makes it impossible

Have spoken to my fiance. Update will be posted shortly
AITAH has no consensus bot, OOP was NTA
Zestyclose-Sky-1921: NTA but this is going to be brutal if your fiancé doesn't get on board with your pirate ship. Depending on the size of your hometown and how serious he is about pushing this, you may need to consider moving, especially if everyone around you is involved.

OOP: I love my fiance, but he's a family orientated type of guy he's close with his family so doesn't understand my situation. It's not helping that everyone around us is advocating for my dad and making me out to be unreasonable.

Corodix: NTA, I'd send them all a clear message that you do not consider him family after he quite clearly told you, when you were 16, that you are not family (are they currently aware of this?). And also make it clear that you will start cutting them out of your life if they do not stop harassing you about this. Perhaps just throw them all in a group chat for this so you can send it once to everybody?
Your fiance siding with them instead of respecting your pretty clear boundary is worrying and would make me reconsider the marriage if he doesn't cut it out fast as that's a massive red flag that doesn't bode well for your future with him.

OOP: I cant cut every single person from my life and thats the reality I'm facing here. Everyone seems to think I'm the AH and I should just reconnect. This is really getting to me.

OOP on staying away from the father and his family and blocking Jane

OOP: I've tried my best to stay away from him and his family but with it being a small town its impossible to avoid them. Some of the times I've bumped into him seemed a bit too coincidental and feel like it was a set up.
I have blocked Jane can't stand the woman she was always mean to me even when I was a child because I was standoffish. My sister is 5 years younger and was more accepting of her so my sister and Jane have a good relationship.

 
Update #1 (rareddit): April 20, 2024 (10 hours later)
Thank you for all of the comments although most seem to be NTA some were YTA. Some of you gave helpful suggestions which I am planning to take on board.
I have just spoken to my fiance and unfortunately it has not gone well but at this point in time I've had enough and want to runaway and never come back.
My fiance knows my history with my dad and Jane. I explained to him that him siding with my father and pressuring me was hurting me and as my fiance he should be supporting me.
My fiance who I'll call Logan told me he can't support me in doing something that he knows is wrong. Logan told me that he had spoke to my father and had an understanding of both sides of the story and believes that if we both sit down and talk we can sort this out and reconcile.
I told Logan I don't want this and want no contact and asked why he is even speaking to my father. Logan admitted his father who is friends with my dad encouraged Logan to speak to him and hear him out.
Logan told me my dad loved me very much and always wanted to be in my life and has pictures of me (I'm guessing he got these from my family as my social media is set to private). Logan said my dad is heartbroken at the state of our relationship because I was being unreasonable about him moving away when I was young. Logan stated I got on the wrong foot with Jane and that I was not innocent in the breakdown of the relationship.He told me that everyone can see the truth but me and to look in the mirror because I'm the problem.
Needless to say I broke down crying and asked him why he was doing this to me and not supporting me. Logan claims to love me but won't stand by and watch me be "a heartless bitch".
After he said this I stood up told him that he shouldn't marry a heartless bitch and walked out. I'm currently sat in my car. My phone is blowing up with Logan trying to contact me but I dont want to speak to him. I feel like I'm losing everything and everyone i dont understand what is happening.
Relevant Comments
HealthfulDrago: Did your fiance have specific arguments? Anything that would shed more light into his line of thinking? It just feels so odd to me that he would just side so heavily with your father.

OOP: Basically I was standoffish and mean to Jane on meeting her which put us on the wrong foot. When she has been mean to me I've retaliated and said mean things back to her.
That my dad has tried consistently over the years to reconnect with me but I have ignored all attempts.
I've upset family members by refusing to attend birthdays, wedding baby showers etc because he was attending.
I walked out of his parents party 3 weeks ago because my dad was there.
I won't speak and will ignore my half brother 18 and half sister 14 if I see them.

 
Update #2 (rareddit): April 21, 2024
Hi everyone thanks for the comments and letting me sound off on you as I desperately need an outside perspective.
I know a lot of you are telling me to cut all contact with my family and leave town. That is not an option for me financially and I would not be able to set up business elsewhere all my money is invested in it and I have only managed to get established recently with steady income, relocating is not an option for me. I love my friends and family and don't want to cut everyone off, I love my hometown I grew up here this is my life and I'm not willing to walk away from it.
I didn't expect to write another update this fast but a lot has happened today.
So firstly I agreed to meet my dad to talk and try and get him to back off and leave me alone. I asked my mom to arrange it, just him no one else. I wasn't sure if he would agree to that but within 15 minutes of her calling he was at the door.
I asked my mom to stay and mediate. To summarize the conversation. These are a bit messed up because it's a lot to remember.
Me: * I asked him to give me space and stop trying to get everyone on his side and let me live my life.

• I told him he stopped being my father when he moved 10 hrs away
  
• I told him Jane was mean to me and told him about all the horrible things she has said to me over the years.
  
• I hate how he chose Jane and his new family over me and how he told me he had to prioritise them and how he basically told me I wasn't family
  
• He was an AH for withholding my college fund and trying to blackmail me and then spending it on his new family
  
• I hate how I have missed major family events because he attended the events and would make them awkward.
  
• I don't see his son and daughter as my family and I'm sick of them trying to speak to me and approach me
  
• he keeps making scenes every time he sees me and making me look the bad guy
  
• he keeps inserting himself into my life going to my fiances family events, going behind my back to talk and sway Logan to his side
  
• I hate how he cheated on my mom and broke our family up and then listened to Jane who stopped our dates, missed my recitals, reduced contact and was more concerned about his son.
  

Him

• He loves me and always has he is never going to give up trying to reconnect and he has given me enough space over the years and he is done hearing about my life from 2nd hand knowledge and is not willing to miss any more if it.
  
• he loves Jane and and can't regret his past because he wouldn't have her or his 2 kids. He wishes he had done it differently and ended his marriage with my mom first.
  

*his kids are innocent and I shouldn't be taking it out on them they just want to know their big sister

• I was difficult child who was rude and disrespectful to Jane breaking her belongings, calling her names, ruining day trips.
  
• when Jane got pregnant she was high risk and me coming every week and starting arguments was stressing her out so for her and his sons sake he stopped the weekend visitation. He still spoke to us on the phone and took us out for dinner and days out but just didn't let us sleep over.
  
• when his son was born he was premature and had health complications which meant him staying in hospital for weeks and frequent hospital admissions. Jane was also going through PPD so he wasn't able to see us as much and had to miss some events when he was taking care of Jane and his son.
  
• Jane was unable to get a job locally and the opportunity was too good to pass up so they had to move. He pointed out that he came back to town for weekends as much as he could to see us and would always invite us to fly out and spend vacations with him. He phoned everyday but I refused to speak or see him.
  
• They had flown in for my graduation but I refused to invite him amd he lost his temper and refused to give me my college fund. He apologised for this and tried to fix this a few weeks later and give me the money but I refused it. He has not spent the money he still has it and I have only to ask and I can have it.
  
• he had visited me at my college to try and talk to me but I refused to see him.
  
• He is not going to miss family events
  
• he makes a scene because he misses me and just wants to talk to me and reconcile but I always end up running way or shouting insults at him and Jane.
  
• He has been trying for 16years to reconnect but I shut him down at every turn he just wants to be my dad.
  
• He is old friends with my fiance dad and he hoped my fiance could talk some sense into me and open a line of communication.
  
• he feels I never gave Jane a chance no matter how she tried in the beginning and hoped we could be civil. Jane hates knowing I talk bad about her, am mean to her children and won't speak to him.
  

He wants: My dad is in therapy and wants me to join him for family sessions. He wants me to spend time with him 1-1 To stop being rude and mean to his children and spend time with them. Stop trash talking Jane to everyone and actually give her a chance Invite for him and my family to my wedding and to walk me down the aisle.
I want: Him to stop talking to my friends and getting others to try and talk to me on his behalf Keep Jane away from me completely To be be civil at events or in town providing he does not try and hug me or talk to me.
My mom told him he was being unrealistic with some of the things he wants especially regarding Jane and his other children so we have agreed for now.
I will attend 3 therapy sessions with him when he arranges it. (my mom thinks I need individual therapy as well) He will stop trying to interfere in my life and relationships He will keep Jane away from me and talk to his kids to give me space. I will be civil to him in public as long as he respects my personal space and does not approach or pressure me.
As for my fiance - I still havent spoken to him, he turned up at my moms but she refused to let him in. He keeps blowing up my phone and so does his family and friends telling me to hear him out.
During my conversation with my dad I found out my dad has paid for most of the vendors and services for my upcoming wedding and they have been on speaking terms for quite some time ( longer than I thought). Logan told me his family had paid for these and i believed him. I feel betrayed by him and that I can't trust him. I'm going to have to speak to him eventually but I dont feel ready.

OOP on not liking her father’s wife

OOP: I'll admit I wasn't very nice to Jane when I met her because she broke up my family, but she was worse than me. She made comments on my weight, and my appearance would push my buttons to start a fight. She stopped my 1-1 time with my dad before she was even pregnant. My dad chose her over me everytime.
Yes he tried to stay in contact. Im not going to rewrite history but the damage was done when he moved 10 hrs away from me and told me he needed to prioritise his family.

Ok-Nose42: Thank you for update so quick and I’m happy your mom choose to help you get your side of the story out by helping you. I’m crying here reading this thinking it should been your fiance that helped you thru this but under his selfishness he dug himself deeper hole. I say cut your losses with him he never had your back he should have to his own dad she has her own life with her dad and I’m not sway her feeling. But he didn’t cut your loses in fact I tell my dad I want that money take it and then you get to leave the relationship and step yourself up before you remove yourself from the relationship. If you have to lie to do it. Fine you can admit it therapy anyways. Ask forgiveness later even though what you may do taken that money them thinking the money for marriage. Or worse get the cash deposit it walk down alter with dad and tell everyone at alter fuck you. This is taken my life party paid by my dad. But that my evil side lol but if you want move on maybe that not best approach. But I would take the money and use it and dump fiancé.

OOP: To be honest my mom seems to have changed her mind today in regards to my fiance when she found out about his involvement with my dad.
She told me to really consider if I want to stay with him and if I can trust him and says I can move home for a while.

OOP on if she can block her father and if she can have an order on him to stay away from her

OOP: I wouldn't be able to get a restraining order against him. What am I going to do tell the police my dad is talking to people in the town and my friends about me. He is showing up to parties and events he's invited to. He's trying to talk to me when he bumps into me in town?
He is not on my social media , he is blocked on my phone other than events and meeting in town that can be chalked up to coincidence I have nothing to report

 
Update #3 - April 27, 2024
Update 3 - aita for not letting my dad back in my life after he chose his new family
Firstly I'd like to apologise for taking down my posts. I was really upset and felt under lot of pressure and needed space to think without constant messages. Some of you were trying to be helpful and I apreciate that but some of the abusive messages I received was terrible.
I'm updating for those who have asked for an update and were supportive to me. This will be my last post and I wont be posting again.
Firstly the deal with my dad is off the table. He couldn't even manage a week without overstepping my boundaries. So there will be no therapy sessions with him and I will remain no contact.
As you are all aware after speaking to my dad and agreeing a way forward and my conditions.
Keep Jane away from me Tell his kids to back off Don't pressure me or invade my space
It lasted all of 3 days. Everyone seemed happy I had "forgiven" my dad and told me so. My sister was excited I was willing to give him a chance and with some pressure I agreed to have dinner with just her and my dad.
When my sister and I arrived at the restaurant to meet our dad he was not alone. He had invited Jane, my grandparents his son and daughter. He got up and tried to hug me.
I immediately became upset asking why they were there. My dad told me that if we have any hope of repairing our relationship I had to accept Jane and my younger siblings. I told him he just broke our deal and to never contact me again and tried to leave. He refused to let me leave and grabbed hold of me.
When I say all hell broke loose I mean it. I started shouting at them. My Dad, Jane and grandparents tried to gaslight me and convince me to sit down when that didn't work things got very heated and a shouting match started and a lot of unforgivable things were said by my dad and Jane including remarks about my appearance and calling me a psychopath. My half brother walked out of the restaurant and my half sister started to cry.
My sister actually surprised me and defended me, shouting at my dad for ruining things after all this time when I had finally given him a chance. She even slapped Jane. She got me out of there and apologised to me. I think this was the first time she had really seen how Jane was with me and how she treat me. She kept saying she couldn't understand how dad had spent years saying he would do anything to have me back and then would do this when he finally got his chance to rebuild the relationship.
My dad has been trying to contact me but I have blocked him and refused to talk to him. I have also refused to speak to my grandparents. My dad has tried to convince my mom and sister to speak to me but I think he's burned his bridges with them.
The incident from the restaurant has spread and some people seem to be backing off. Like I said what my dad and Jane shouted at me was unforgiveable and they were overheard and this is a small town. Hopefully people will back off and those who won't Im going to have to cut them out.
My sister is very unhappy with my dad and Jane and not speaking to them. She is blaming them for me going no contact again. My sister is not letting them see her kids. I don't know if my sister will reconcile but right now she is furious. My mom is also furious and apparently had a few choice word with my dad and Jane and has promised she will never pressure me again to speak to him.
I am going to go to individual therapy I think I definitely need it. I do feel bad about my half siblings as they havnt done anything wrong and am maybe open to having a distanced kind of relationship with them in the future but I'm not ready yet or if I'll ever be. I did send them a message on Facebook to apologise and tell them they've done nothing wrong.
Lastly to update you all - in regards to my fiance well I spoke to him yesterday about everything I had been radio silent since walking out on him.
Basically he was pressured by his father to speak to my dad and was fed a sob story of a misunderstood father desperately wanting to be in his daughters life. Logan had become annoyed with me refusing to attend his family events and walking out of his mother's birthday party when I realised my dad and Jane was there as he was getting pressure from his family about me ruining their events.
He just wanted everyone to be happy and get along clearly at my expense.
Logan admitted my dad had paid for some of the vendors for the wedding but he did not know this until after it was already paid. His father had told Logan that him and his mom had paid. My dad had told Logan it was a gift and his way of contributing. Logan admitted my dad had asked him to speak to me on his behalf.
I told Logan he had betrayed my trust and I couldn't see myself marrying someone who does not support me. He broke down crying and apologising to me and promising to never do it again.Logan was heartbroken and begged for a 2nd chance.
To those of you who wanted me to break up with him, I'm sorry to disappoint you but we are going to try and work through this. Apart from this issue he had been the best partner and I genuinely think that he had been manipulated by his family and my dad. Logan has promised to stand up to his family and go no contact with my dad.
I'm still living at my moms as I still need some space which I wont have if I move home. We are going to contact our wedding vendors and see what our options are next week. Logan is begging for a postponement rather than cancel it altogether. We may still break up as actions speak louder than words and I need to see if he can rebuild what we had and show me I can trust and depend on him.
Relevant Comments
OOP on if she is able to change her contact information and what about Logan

OOP: There's no point changing my number when I've done this before he always manages to get it again.
As for L - breaking up is not off the table. I'm giving him a chance to show me he means what he says. I always thought I had a decent relationship with Ls family, but clearly not. I'm not asking him to go NC with them thats for him to decide. I'm certainly going to distance myself from them and any further incidents no contact.
As for any future children if we are still together I won't be trusting them with my children at all

Tom_A_F: I vote for cancelling the wedding. Dude's gotta put in some MAJOR work to be husband material.

OOP: Sorry, the wedding is getting cancelled if I wasn't clear in my post. L is begging for it to be postponed.
I'm going to be contacting the vendors to see what our options are about getting refunds or partial refunds.
I can't marry someone I dont trust, and a few months or a year is not going to change that or reassure me.

 
DISCLAIMER: OOP HAS UPDATED AFTER THE BoRU WAS POSTED
SO PER RULES UPDATE IS INCLUDED
Update #4 - May 4, 2024
Hi everyone I did not plan to make another update at all but I'm still getting messages for an update and thought I would let you know the recent developments.
Firstly I have cancelled the wedding I was able to get some partial refunds but have lost some money. Logan begged me not to cancel the wedding but there was no way I could marry him after what he did.
I was set on giving him a 2nd chance and he promised me he would go low contact and stand up to his parents and issue an ultimatum that we would not tolerate any contact with my dad and Jane. Basically he would tell them we would not attend any event or party if they were invited and we would not tolerate any attempt to force contact or relationship with my dad.
He met with them to explain this to them. When he came back from this meeting he was quite irritable with me and appeared to have had a change of heart to summarize it - he was trying to convince me his family only meant well and that he can't go low contact with his family because he loves them and he can't dictate their friendships. He then tried to convince me it won't be an issue in the future and his father would speak to my dad and tell him to be on his best behaviour in my presence.
As soon as I heard this people's comments went through my head and the main one being if we had children he would take them to his family where my dad and Jane would be and I would have no control over this. At that moment
I realised I couldn't trust Logan and never would be able to.
I broke up with him, he is not taking it well and keeps begging me to take him back and that he would go no contact with his family. His family and friends are trying to convince me on his behalf not to end our relationship. He has made his choice and proven to me he is spineless. I don't need him in my life.
In regards to my dad I'm looking into getting a restraining order given what happened in the restaurant I might be able to but i dont know yet a friend of mine is helping me look into this.
My dad has kept a low profile since last week apart from a couple of attempts to apologize to me I havnt heard much from him. My sister still won't speak to him or Jane. Unlike me my sister is highly confrontational and has blasted him and Jane on social media with what happened at the restaurant and things that have happened in the past which I didn't know about.
My sister and Jane had a very public screaming match when she had seen them in town due to my sisters posts and demanding to take them down it ended up with Jane assaulting my sister. My dad apparently sided with Jane in this. My sister now hates Jane and refuses to speak to our dad who is also trying to contact her.
My dad and Jane’s reputation seems to have taken a hit and between the incident in the restaurant and my sisters fight with Jane and het numerous Facebook posts about them, People are gossiping. This has worked well for me because some people have backed off which Im happy about unfortunately there are a few people still on his side including my ex's parents.
As for my half siblings there's not much of an update in regards to them.
I've found a therapist however there is a bit of a waiting list before I can start my therapy. I'm still living with my mom who is completely on my side and I have found a kitten and pick her up next week.

DO NOT COMMENT IN LINKED POSTS OR MESSAGE OOPs – BoRU Rule #7

THIS IS A REPOST SUB - I AM NOT OOP

I'll start off by saying I absolutely adore the costume Oliver has this season. Arguably the best of the whole show, easily up there with the Season 1 look. It goes back to a more simplistic, minimal design that suits him best, with a longer Hood, and back to the classy recurve bow. I love it. Probably my favorite Green Arrow outfit. Just a shame it's only used in a handful of episodes. I wish this could've been the look from Season 5 to now.
 
Well, I thought the majority of the season was fairly good. True, it was mostly just nostalgia reliving the best moments of the show, but for a concluding run there's nothing wrong with that. The excuse of the "Monitor" gave them a reason to have these episodes. If something doesn't make sense, ah well, chalk it up to these grand cosmic things beyond your understanding.
 
Other than the fact that "Crisis" had little logical consistency to it; i.e. "This happened! And then that happened! And then that happened!" without much logical flow between events, I really don't mind. It's all supernatural/magical B.S. anyway. I really enjoyed the crossover, plot holes be damned. I thought they were going to do a Jekyll and Hyde thing, with the Monitor and Anti-Monitor being two sides of the same god-like entity. He just left out that part where the anti-Monitor is his sinister alter-ego he is doomed to become. I thought that would've been a lot cooler than just, "He's the me of the anti-matter universe." (God there are so many universes as it is in the multiverse, now there's a multiverse in anti-matter too?)
All in all though, the crossover was suitably epic, and they gave Oliver a good death. Well, no, actually he had a pretty lame death, but it's okay because he comes back as a ghost, and then he gets a good death there.
 
I really loved the Obi-Wan Kenobi thing he had going on at the end. In fact, the scene of him dueling the anti-Monitor (who is not dissimilar to Darth Vader) as the younger heroes look on from a distance reminded me a lot of that scene in A New Hope where Kenobi says, "If you strike me down now, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine," before sacrificing himself and disappearing into the ether.
 
Oliver had an excellent final goodbye there. Short, sweet, and to the point. It doesn't need to be anymore than that; we've been anticipating this moment all season, since last season in fact. The series should have ended on the second last episode of "Crisis on Infinite Earths." Despite a rocky last two--three--four--hell pretty much everything since Season 3--seasons, they pulled through strong at the end, and went out on a high note...
 
...is what I wish I could say, but sadly, it didn't end there.
 
The following episode deals with the aftermath, which is fine as an epilogue episode, except that there is a tonal whiplash between one moment Barry and Sara mourning Oliver and the very next minute there's giant CGI killer teddy bears running around the city. I mean they literally have a funeral service, and as soon as it's over, Barry turns around and gleefully geeks out, "Hey guys check out my sweet new Justice League round table!" IN THE SAME FREAKING ROOM as the still-burning funeral pyre! Complete tonal whiplash.
 
But wait, there's more. Another whole episode dedicated to the painfully bad drudgery of the future Star City, made even more confusing because in this new timeline the entire storyline (which was pretty incredulous and boring to begin with) has been tossed out in favor of an entirely new character and story in the future only being introduced just now. I couldn't stand to even finish this episode, it was so cringeworthy. The only time I actually like the future kid characters is when they interacted in the present with their parents, our heroes. Those moments are always great drama. Otherwise though, their own story just isn't at all interesting.
 
The finale, "Fadeout," had a couple decent things in it. I liked the flashback moment. The extended fight scene with early Oliver in the iconic S1 outfit was well choreographed and pretty badass. At least they didn't completely insult the memory of S1 Oliver like they did in S5 with the flashback then (trying to make him out to be some sadistic psycho killer which he wasn't). Other than that though, the only good scenes are with Felicity, and Diggle's final monologue.
 
This final episode is simultaneously a "so bad it's good" joke, and also a huge middle finger to the audience. They completely erased the show's ENTIRE history. Yeah, screw you, dear viewer, for actually being invested these past 8 years (10 for me, I started watching this show in 2013 or 14). Everything in the entire mythos has now been completely re-written and undone, with a wave of plot magic. One would think at least the early show, when it actually was dark, gritty, grounded, mature, realistic, serious, etc. before there were alternate Earths and time travel and magic and Lazarus Pits and superhero nonsense of characters staying dead all of 2 minutes--before all of that, one would think they would at least keep that early era untouched. Moira's and Tommy's deaths are tragic, but that's what makes for good storytelling! Don't undo that!
 
Quentin Lance had a great exit from the show in Season 6. (One of the few good things to come out of the later seasons.) It's one thing to have him back as a guest star through this Monitor-induced time loop dream sequence/alternate reality thing. I actually really liked that. That episode, "RESET," is the highlight of the season, my favorite episode. However, the understanding was that version of him was a fiction, concocted by the Monitor to help Laurel-2 come to terms with Quentin's death, and help Oliver come to terms with his own. Bringing Quentin back for real just nullifies that, and it undoes the fantastic exit he already had.
 
This whole season, even in S7, they keep treating Oliver as this holier than thou, messianic, Jesus-like figure. But that's not really who he is. He is a complex character, or at least he was originally. He ultimately is a hero, but he never set out to be one. It was a journey of personal redemption and redemption for his family's sins every bit as it was a crusade to clean up the city. He was immensely strong as a warrior and a leader, but deeply wounded and broken on the inside, all the same. He was the hero, but he had moral failings, blindspots for family and lovers, moments of succumbing to violent rage. His story is not supposed to be that of an anointed savior who always wins the day, but of a dark, damaged man, weighed heavy with the toll of far too many great losses. That he somehow kept going, that he didn't let his grief consume or define him, but instead temper him into a better man--that alone is something. Let's keep that complexity to his character. He doesn't need to be a saint to still be loved and respected.
 
How many times are Thea and Roy supposed to have their "happily ever after"? They keep bringing them back as guest cameos once a year, and each time they need an excuse for why only one actor is back, and also to have some drama. Their character arcs ended years ago. It's quite ridiculous how many times they rode off into the proverbial sunset, but then broke up off-screen at some point, then they re-unite; rinse, repeat.
 
Crime magically disappears? Does nobody in the city find it just a slight bit odd that Star(ling) City was mostly a safe place, until the Arrow/Oliver returns, then suddenly terrorists are conquering or nuking the city every single year, but the moment Oliver dies, suddenly all crime for ever and ever magically goes away? Almost like he was the cause of the suffering, rather than the hero. Hey, writers, that would've been a fantastic story! Imagine if Season 5/Prometheus was not about revenge for killing Daddy, but instead about making Oliver see that his being the Arrow ultimately caused more suffering and destruction, in a sort of "Spec Ops: The Line" / Apocalpyse Now / Heart of Darkness way. After all, the only reason for Deathstroke and Ra's al Ghul seeking to destroy the city is Oliver. He spurned and insulted his friend Anatoli, thus inciting the wrath of the Bratva on the city. He plays the hero, but his actions are what nearly always brought about the damnation he sought to fight. That would've been a great story, and the psychological thriller they tried to do that season would've actually been believable without needing to entirely retcon Season 1 Oliver into being a serial killer.
 
That said, if you were a criminal, would you want to do crime in the city where some lunatic Robin Hood-wannabe is going all William Tell on your ass, or would you do it in the city where he's not around? Logically, shouldn't crime spike up now that Oliver is dead? In the past, when everyone thought he was dead, that's exactly what happened. Oh sure, they tried to keep up appearances by having Dig under the hood, but that only lasts for so long before criminals realize it's not the real Arrow. It doesn't make any sense that crime should go down with him gone.
 
The unintentionally funniest part of this episode for me was Talia telling Nyssa, "All Father ever wanted for you was to have a normal life." Bitch, she was heir to the Demon, an Assassin on the FBI's Most Wanted list, a lesbian in love with the girl whose boyfriend she's married to, and was to be executed as a traitor by her father. A NORMAL LIFE??????
 
I shit you not, I was laughing so hard at that for 3 minutes straight, I was in tears. The dialogue is awful, but sometimes it's so bad, it's fucking hilarious.
 
Some of the cameos are just criminal. How can they have Manu Bennett back for a scene, and it's just an alternate version of the night Moira died, so they can retcon her into being alive? How the hell was Slade Wilson not the star of one of these nostalgia-tour episodes? He should have had at least a whole episode. They brought back Yao Fei and Fyers who are both dead, somehow, but no Slade fucking Wilson? I mean, he's half the reason for the show's success! That character was amazing. No Felicity? How come she's only a cameo in the final episode? She should've been here all season long! I know they established she's looking after baby Mia somewhere, but c'mon, that didn't stop Dig from returning; besides they changed the future a dozen times anyway! How come Talia gets a whole episode, but not Nyssa, who was way bigger? But I'll tell you who they didn't forget to call back, the fucking Ragman. The goddamn Ragman. Why. That character was such a mistake then, and one I tried hard to forget ever happened.
 
I was almost excited at the prospect of Diggle's character continuing on in Supergirl. It would've given me a reason to actually watch that show, besides the dude from "Two and a Half Men" playing Lex Luthor (that was pretty cool). But then they did it. They actually did it. They made Diggle into Green Lantern? Are you freaking kidding me! It was stupid enough giving him a costume and calling him "Spartan." He was always coolest as himself, no hood needed. But going full on superhero? The same guy who could never wrap his head around the Flash in every crossover? Just insulting the memory of that great character on the final episode.
 
It seems that Arrow died as it lived. Burned bright, and was fun while it was good, but it inevitably sours. Later episodes are penned by such amateurish writers, and it shows. The writers knew they weren't going to do a full season, but somehow even with only being on contract for 10 episodes, they only really had enough story for 8. The last two (three if you count Legends' season premiere) were totally disposable filler that sadly tanked my opinion of the otherwise top notch season.

I quit following MH around the time they adopted their little boy. I found out yesterday all the changes since then!
Wow! What a rabbit hole?
Now I have so many questions…
Where is she living now and with who?
Does she have custody of the kids?
What happened with the judgments against her?
How is she financially surviving?
Did Jack leave her because she cheated on him? (Someone said she slept with his bf)
What happened to her face? The last post on saw on instagram or Facebook her face had changed so much. (Not for the better either)
Why is she mia on all her social media accounts?
Why are her and NH not bffs anymore?
Is she still with younique?
Y’all I’m so out of the loop here. 🤪

---Intelligence---
​
---Leon’s perspective---
I look into the face of a late 30s Daniel Craig, staring back at me from the mirror, and adjust my bowtie before turning to the young, redheaded Scarlett Johansson in a formfitting jumpsuit next to me and giving her a smirk.
“Yes, yes… very dashing(!)” mocks Ziva with an eyeroll and an American accent.
“You say; with the lips of one of the most attractive Terrans ever born…” I answer, dryly, my British accent right now making me sound a lot wittier than normal.
She tilts her head to look up at me (needing to angle it way more than she ever does in reality to compensate for the 7 inches I’ve got on her in here, instead of the only 3 I’ve got outside of VR) and says “Something you don’t seem to understand, Leon, is that attractive people immediately become a lot less attractive when they preen!”
“Forgive me for enjoying a rare moment of actual glamour when the real life Craft has so few…(!)”
“Yeah… not usually like the movies, is it…!”
We walk down the stylish, mid 20^th Century hallway and come out into a semicrowded bar.
With just one exception, none of the ‘people’ here are real.
This is a secure chatroom, so the majority of the patrons dressed in period clothing with their faces all weird superstimuli of both Sapiens and whatever ethnicity they respectively represent (not yet having had the benefit of 6 centuries of the liberty to travel, live, work, and marry wherever and whoever they want (especially not resurrectees)) are NPCs.
I catch sight of the man we’re here to meet and me and Ziva cross the bar to make our way over to him.
I guess… I don’t actually know he’s a man…
Never met our handler in real life so he could be a woman or an enby…
Right now, he’s wearing the face of a man so I’m just gonna keep thinking and saying ‘he/him’.
I sit at the table, across from the (for his era) very tall elder statesman.
Brown eyes fixed on us and sparkling, our handler snaps his fingers over his right shoulder, causing a glamorous waitress to appear, wearing a cheongsam and with a hyper East Asian face.
In a crisp, early 20^th Century RP, his voice deeper than Marc’s (the deepest voiced Human I’ve ever met in the flesh) and almost as low as Björn’s, he instructs “A Vesper martini, shaken not stirred, for the gentleman and, for the lady, a black widow I believe. I shall take a glass of Aalborg Taffel akvavit for myself… chilled but neat.”
“Very good, Sir, right away.” she defers, bowing a little before backing away to prepare the order.
Smiling with the mouth of a Christopher Lee in his 80s, our tuxedoed host says “Well… Agent Byrne and Agent Pereira… It will be satisfying to remove the ‘MIA’ markers currently attached to both of your files(!)”
“*Ha*… Yes… a lot has happened, Sir.” I smile, crookedly, the face I’m wearing and the voice I’m speaking with making the line sound way cooler than it would IRL.
“Which surely means a lot to report… doesn’t it?” he smirks back.
“Yes, Sir.” answers my jumpsuited partner, whose early 21^st Century, mildly scifi attire looks kind of anachronistic in this Cold War era setting “The first piece of intelligence we have to report is that Jackson ‘Scout’ Stetter is dead…”
The old man blinks a few times before asking “I’m sorry, Agent… would you mind repeating that? I believe I must have misheard you…”
“Wanted terrorist assassin, Jackson ‘Scout’ Stetter, tracked us and took our ship out of commission in a fight that saw both him and (temporarily) us stranded on the new planet. He survived his crash but was later apprehended and neutralized.” she expands.
“I… see… and, from the use of the passive voice there, I take it this neutralisation was not your handiwork, was it?”
“It wasn’t, no. That was the work of the current Empress of one of the new species in a trial by combat she fought against him.”
Our handler’s eyebrows rise slightly but he stays composed as he clarifies “‘One of the new species’?… I had inferred that you had likely made contact with some entity but… you’re telling me there was more than one?”
“Yes, Sir…” I jump in “…the planet AG10790263b, newly christened ‘Graom-Wakhkort’, is host to two, extremely distinct, species.”
“Well!… That’s quite the revelation!… That’s quite a few revelations in fact!” states our host as the cheongsamed waitress returns with our drinks, placing a squared glass of sugared, blackberry vodka-soda in front of Ms Romanoff, a martini glass of cloudy, mixed spirits with a sheen of ice on it and garnished with a spiral of lemon peel in front of me and an ice free, narrow rimmed, tiny wineglass of clear, very slightly yellow tinted spirit in front of the real life inspiration for the character Daniel Craig was most notable for playing, before shuffling backwards away from the table.
She prepared our drinks way faster than realistic… A perk of full dive VR; waiting times can be a lot lower than in real life!
Closing a wizened hand around his glass, our handler raises it across the table to us.
“Cheers.” he smiles.
“Cheers.”
“Cheers.” answer me and Ziva in quick succession, raising the drinks he ordered us to *clink* against his.
I take a sip of the ice cold cocktail.
There’s not much flavor to it.
Tiny bit of sweetness. Lemon. Quinine. Notes of orange.
I can’t really taste the gin.
I think it would benefit from a few drops of orange bitters to fill the utter void of flavor that is this drink.
Bet I look stylish drinking it though!
Placing down his akvavit, our host starts “So, I suppose I should start by asking why exactly the Empress was giving Mr Stetter a trial by combat?”
“That was due to him having murdered her father, the previous Emperor, in cold blood… He was initially given a jury trial but got frustrated by the deadlock induced by the juries’ structure and opted for trial by combat instead… I think he was joking when he suggested it… mocking their court system.” I explain.
His mouth twists in a light frown “Not exactly an ideal start to our relations… I assume this business didn’t have a positive effect on this species’ sentiments toward us?”
“There was a significant chilling effect brought on in the immediate aftermath… but our assessment is that it was mostly thawed by the time we departed.” answers Ziva.
“That’s encouraging… and it’s doubly encouraging that we can stand down the search for Mr Stetter… That little embarrassment… losing the man who assassinated our representative when he was nought but a stasised brain in a jar, cost the UTCS Spite and, by extension, the Navy at large a lot of the cachet they had earned by so swiftly resolving that piracy situation with the Jukt!… Though, it is a little unnerving that there are apparently individuals among this species who are more than a match for one of the most dangerous beings alive… I take it they’re quite formidable?”
“‘Formidable’ doesn’t exactly do them justice, Sir… Would you like to see for yourself?” I suggest.
“Please, Agent…” he invites.
I open my console in front of me and select two files to load in.
All three of us look to the doorway as we hear the heavy, stabbing footfalls of eight powerful legs rumbling down the hallway.
The Vrakhand NPC woman appears on the far side and has to bend her upper body forwards and scrunch in her legs by quite a lot to fit through.
The other patrons don’t react with horrified screams and shrieks of terror at the monstrous looking being who just entered the establishment and each of whose footfalls punches a several inch deep hole in the floorboards. Instead, the waitress who brought us our drinks just calmly organizes the customers in moving their tables aside to clear a path.
On her heels follows a (way less striking looking) model of a male Vrakhand.
They both sit on the floor at the table next to us.
“My word… I can see what you mean… I certainly wouldn’t wish to meet one of these in a dark alley(!)” he says, his eyes fixed on the woman.
“They’re called the Vrakhand. That’s a female. That’s a male. These are fairly prototypical examples. The Empress is much larger and stronger than most. They have a heavily martial culture. Conservative in nature. Strict sense of gender segregation. Their armor is thought to be moderately bullet resistant and known to be impressively resistant to plasmaweapons…” rattles off Ziva.
“Plasmaweapons were used on one of them?!” he asks, head whipping to her, alarmed.
I shake my head and explain “Not one of them… One of what we infer to be their closest extant cousin species… much more formidable but firmly nonsapient.”
“Well, that’s a relief… but…” he leans forward, speaking conspiratorially despite us being the only people who actually exist in this digital world “…what about the million credit question?”
“As the situation stands…” starts Ziva in the turn of the millennium DanoAmerican woman’s voice “…neither these guys nor the other species would make any significant difference in the event of a Second War, no matter which side they joined… Their low tech level aside, they just don’t have the numbers!… Sure, they’re individually formidable but they only number in the high tens of thousands and the other species are only in the single digit millions… a drop in the ocean on the scale of galactic warfare… Give them both another 500 years to colonize and multiply and they might become relevant but, I don’t know about you two, I don’t plan to be in this line of work that long(!) I’d say that’s a problem for our successors(!)”
“Yet another relief…” he exhales “…as nice as the thought of gaining a staunch, powerful ally is, the thought of the gardenworlders panicking and attacking them (forcing us to rapidly deploy to the far end of the galaxy to defend them or allow them to be wiped out) is not! If they’re currently so insignificant, it will be much easier to temper the blowback to their revelation. And, of course, it isn’t the nightmare scenario of them being a force comparable to the UTC (and hostile thereto) with the galaxy being caught in the crossfire… but that was already a rather outside possibility… I suppose you should show me this other species as well though?”
“Actually, Sir, there’s one more notable thing about these guys that I want to bring to your attention first.” says Ziva.
“Oh?”
“Yes… You see all those red places? Teeth? Toothplates? Fangs? Claws? Feet? Leg spines? Those are made of a substance known in English as ‘thanatite’ and it has some… interesting material properties.”
“What kind of properties?” queries the deep voiced man.
“It’s not quite as tough as durasteel but it’s close. It’s lightweight, it’s biological and it might have the same plasma resistance as the rest of their armour.” I explain in my British accent, taking a sip of my martini before continuing “It could be the basis for a whole new style of battle armour… if certain cultural and ethical issues can be navigated tactfully.”
“It’s highly prized by them and by the other species, the Twigg, but it doesn’t naturally shed, so, the only ways to get it are by dismembering their dead or by dismembering their living… As a consequence, it holds a… I think the best word would be, ‘venerated’ position in their culture. Growing suits of the stuff shouldn’t be a challenge, it’s just not clear how the Vrakhand would react to that kind of appropriation. It might alienate them, especially if it came to light that we’d done it covertly without clearing it first.” elaborates Ziva.
“Hmmm… I see. A thorny issue indeed… If it were so much better on balance, it would near instantly put every durasteel foundry worker in Terran Space out of business… might also be perceived as provocative by the rest of the GU… This will require some careful consideration…” muses our host “…but that’s something I’ll probably need to bring the politicians and diplomats in on, not the UTCIS’s decision to make… For now, please show me this second species…”
Wordlessly, I reopen my console and load in two more files.
Appearing at the door come a male and female Twigg, padding down the wide channel through the tables to join the Vrakhand.
Quizzically, the brown eyed man asks “You’re… certain these two species are from the same cradleworld?”
Ziva grins with her borrowed face and says “Like Agent Byrne said, they’re very distinct but none of the data suggests xenogenesis for either of them… They are related, however distantly(!)”
“I see… the ‘Twigg’ you said they were called?” he confirms.
“Yes, Sir… Male. Female. Prototypical examples. Easy going nature, generally. Classless. Egalitarian. Propertyless. Communitarian. No gender segregation. Staunch practitioners of free love(!)” she smirks.
“Night and day… comparing the two!” opines the graybeard “Are they anything like as fearsome as this Empress apparently is?”
Ziva and I both hesitate over that question.
I’m the first to articulate “They’ve… got quite a different skillset… but they’re not to be taken lightly, whatever their size might make you believe.”
“Show me.” he invites, fixing his deep brown eyes on me.
“Alright, Sir… Hey, excuse me…?” I call the male Twigg NPC.
He gets down from the high stool he was sat on and plods over.
“Yes?” he asks, staring blankly at me.
“See that wall over there? I want you to run to it and back here as fast as you can!”
“OK.” he agrees, unquestioningly, getting down on all fours.
He streaks across the bar, rebounds off the far wall with all four of his limbs meeting it and springs to run back, skidding to a stop at the precise point he left from, all inside of a few seconds.
“Now, I want you to jump as high as you can into the air.”
From a standing start, he jumps easily high enough to put his toes 6ft off the ground.
“Now do that with a triple backflip.”
He does so, easily.
“Now… Err, Ziva, could I borrow a kni-”
She instantly produces a long, deadly sharp blade out of nowhere and places it into my hand
“Thanks.”
I turn back to the little green skinned man and hand him the knife.
“I want you to throw this up in the air so that it does 15 ½ revolutions over its end and catch it on the back of your hand without getting cut, cutting anyone else or dropping it.”
He immediately flicks the blade upwards, spinning way more rapidly than it would need to if he were making use of all the space above him instead of only half of it.
It comes down as he sticks his hand into its path, accommodating for it’s momentum to prevent it bouncing off him.
Wobbling slightly but perfectly balanced across his knuckles is the blade he just threw.
“Thank you, Sir. That’s everything.” I say as I take the knife and hand it back to Ziva, seeing the shock in our hosts eyes as I look at him.
“You didn’t programme that? Those are natural abilities?”
“Yes, Sir… Natural abilities. These guys just became the fastest, most dextrous, most kinaesthetic and most agile species in the galaxy…” I smile “…not to mention having working and procedural memories much better on average than any Human lineage, even Neanderthals.”
“Well… that’s… quite something!… You have included these files in the data parcel you’re leaving, haven’t you?” he asks, gesturing over the table of NPCs.
“Yes, Sir.” answer me and Ziva in unison.
“Good… I think further testing is required.”
“Oh… err… Sir?” smirks Ziva “Before I forget, a word of warning: unless you are abnormally interested in screeding techniques… I’d skip the building section… Gamoiwoth may be an expert architect but an engaging writer he is not(!) The Vrakhand live in silk tents, the Twigg live in small earthworks… There! I just saved you several hours…”
“Thank you for the warning, Agent… Perhaps I can skim that part(!)” he chuckles “Now… tell me, you two… we’ve only made preparations for one department to be allocated to this new species. Knowing there are two species, what would you recommend? A second allocation for this second species, splitting the existing department into Vrakhand and Twigg teams that still closely coordinate or forging ahead as planned with one department in charge of both species?”
