I am a loyal person and would love for my boyfriend to also be my best friend. (We can tell each other everything) I am a hopeless romantic and love buying gifts or even flowers ;)
I know this isn't the best place to find love, but trying anyway :)
About me: I'm currently studying, software development (coding) which I love to do. I love to read and write :) I like to game (valorant, stardew, fortnite, minecraft). Would be nice if you played them as well so we can get to know each other. (PC/Switch) I have a love hate relationship with working out, So I prefer classes so I dont have to think about what to do and am unable to cheat haha ;) I am the zumba dance queen of my gym (Not my words xd) So watch out ;) I speak English, Dutch and a bit of german (working on my german by reading books in german ;)) I love to learn more languages and cultures. I also like traveling and doing spontaneous things like going on a trip last moment :) So I would like my partner to keep up with it.
My outside: I am 1,67cm and have brown hair. I have green-ish eyes see the picture https://imgur.com/a/iZH5CU9 :) If we get to know each other more we can exchange more pictures, but for now it is like a sneak peak haha. I'm curvy so if you don't like it then dont message me :)
Please send me a message if: You are born in 1997-2003 and live in western europe. I prefer the Netherlands. I am not looking for a super long LDR sorry guys :( Also give your ASL and tell me something about yourself. I prefer if you are taller than me and generally have the same interests. (If you do tell me something about it ;)) I love for you to have ambition and not for example work at the same place for 50 years. Always aiming for the highest and trying to accomplish everything. I have the same mindset haha
So shoot me a message <3 Please no weird messages or NSFW profiles. And send me a :) if you read the whole post.
ps: Bonus points if you like to fight with me who gets to pay on a date ;)

Prior to the Weekend 1 update, the entirety of FNF (assets and code) was licensed under the Apache 2.0 permissive license. The general gist of the Apache license is "you can use our stuff but you gotta give proper credit" (it's obviously a bit more complex than that). This permissive license allowed the modding scene to explode since mod makers were given permission to create any derivative works they wanted using the FNF assets.
However, this has also led to bad actors creating for-profit bootlegs that still could technically comply with the license, with the biggest offenders seeming to be unofficial Roblox games. As a result, the FNF team has stated that that the license for FNF would be changed going forward to prevent this.
With the release of Weekend 1 update, this change has been put into place. The FNF source has basically been split into separate repositories. The code for the game engine itself remains unchanged under the Apache 2.0 license. But assets/art have been placed into separate repositories with their own license, or rather with no license. All of the game's assets (art, music, sound effects, even the charting for some reason) are proprietary, with copyright and trademark enforcement specifically stated.
With this new licensing, mod creators cannot include any of the base game assets without committing copyright/trademark violations. This includes BF/GF/Pico/etc character sprites, the vanilla FNF noteskin, any vanilla FNF stage background, the FNF alphabet sprites, etc.
Furthermore, copyright enforcement also means you cannot be compliant if you include any derivative works based on the game assets. Or in other words, you cannot create/distribute anything based on a preexisting FNF asset without it being illegal. For example, including any vanilla FNF character in your mod whatsoever would violate the license. Even if you draw entirely new sprites of BF, the new sprites would be considered derivative works of the original BF (and no, creating B-side/C-side/D-side/Æ-side versions of BF doesn't bypass this) and thus would be a license violation. You also risk violations by including remixes of vanilla FNF songs in your mod for the same reason. Even if you made an original song, you could still be violating the license if you include BF's voice.
What this means is that going forward, mod creators cannot have their mods be compliant with the FNF license while including any assets taken from or based on what already exists in FNF. Everything in the mod would need to be 100% original to be compliant. Original music, original characters, original backgrounds, original UI, etc.
On a side note, this also means that any FNF video content online (such as on YouTube or Twitch) henceforth also risks copyright/trademark violations. This includes streams, reaction videos, gameplay videos, remixes, and fan animations. These types of videos would all be copyright/trademark violations due to distributing FNF intellectual property without permission.
Interestingly, it seems that the original plan was to have the assets use a modified version of the Apache 2.0 license, one that would only permit non-commercial use. This would've made it legal (i.e. compliant with the license) to make stuff like mods. But that seems to have been dropped at some point.
Realistically, the FNF team most likely won't persecute mods and fan videos even though they're technically illegal (they'll probably go after for-profit stuff though). I don't think they've changed their personal stance on mods (which is that they like mods), only their legal stance. But this does mean that for example, you can't put your FNF work in your portfolio since they're technically unauthorized works now. Also, since most types of mods are not legally allowed, this probably also means that the FNF team won't be setting up an official mod portal/site for FNF. So we're gonna keep using GameBanana, I guess.
That being said, this creates a grey area for stuff like putting ads on FNF gameplay videos or taking comissions to make FNF songs/sprites. I am unsure what the FNF team's stance is on something like this, whether they would choose to take legal action against this kind of behavior or not. To be on the safe side, I would suggest not putting ads on any videos involving FNF, and not taking/paying comissions for FNF mod assets (unless the assets created comply with the FNF licenses, i.e. are 100% original).

Hi everyone,
I have this laptop that will utilize AC power with no trouble, until Linux reaches a certain point (I assume drivers get loaded). Then it will only rely on the battery, and the battery is currently drained so it can't stay on. I did not even notice there was any problem until the battery drained. Evidently, entire OS installation worked on battery.
I have tried Debian 12, and MX Linux booted from a flash drive. Debian installed but once I was trying to use it, the battery was down to 2% and it keeps going into sleep. Basically, it can stay on with no problem with just the BIOS loaded, or even during pre-OS like during the install. But once OS loads, it stops utilizing AC.
Very strange as I've never seen this before in all my years. The unit is a sort of generic system, not a major brand. It's technically I guess Jetta/Source Code. The model is SP3100 in case that's going to matter at all.
But what would cause this behavior? I will try loading Hiren's USB and see if it can stay on. Maybe I can narrow down if it's a Linux driver issue, but that would be a first for me.
Hopefully someone has any suggestion. Otherwise I guess the hardware is getting sold for scrap.

I see a lot of software people shitting on the union. They had the courage to stand up for themselves and actually walked away with what I would consider a win.
A lot of UAW workers, especially skilled trades are pulling in 6 figures. That isn't a whole lot different than what most of you are making.
You're livelihood is literally on the line folks. All evidence points to a small tech footprint in California. That building will only hold 250 and they're already at 200. They're going to augment with contract workers in places like India, South America and eastern Europe.
People will say if you don't like it get a new job. Why should you have to leave? Why should you have to move your family? You worked hard and did your part. The money is there too, they bought back 10 billion dollars of their own stock.
Our livihoods and our families wellbeing are being flagrantly put on the line because of unchecked greed.
Management forced 2 days in office, than 3. 5 is coming this summer. Mandatory office hours of 8-5 will probably follow. Non sensical metrics like number of PR requests and lines and code are already in place. Management is turning up the heat. I've seen managers openly mock and intimidating their own employees.
The answer is unionize. Unionize now. You're time is limited here folks. HR is not going to help. Your manager will look out for themselves. The only person who can drive this change for what is right is us, the workers that keep this company running.

https://imgur.com/gallery/three-18k-pilot-elite-fountain-pens-oNTgqPz
For sale are three Pilot pocket pens that have similarities in their size and gold content, but little else. I believe all three pens are from the mid-1970s, and each one has design features that Pilot eliminated in their current E95s pocket pen offerings. Each pen takes contemporary Pilot and compatible cartridges, in addition to the Con-20/40 converters. All pens have been flushed and work perfectly. All sub rules apply, please comment before DMing. Prices include CONUS/Hawaii shipping, international shipping extra and to be discussed. Thanks for looking.
First up is a crosshatched capped Pilot Elite with an 18k nib. The body cap has the name 鎌田（かまた, Kamata) lightly etched into it, adjacent to the body cap dating PJ12 (April 12, 1970). The fingernail (?) nib, dated H176 (January 1976), writes a typically smooth Pilot line, with a slightly perceptible bounce. It’s slightly wet, but that might be due to the mixture of inks currently in the cartridge. The clip functions as it should, and the pen opens and closes smoothly and securely. The crosshatched pattern is doing an excellent job of protecting the top cap from scratches, but the section and back cap have slightly better than normal wear for a pen that is 48 year old pen. C- rating for the engraving. $125 CONUS insured/shipped.
Next is an 18k white section/back cap, gold colored, metal capped Pilot Elite. The nib lacks a visible date code, and writes with a smooth, wet Pilot line. The fingernail style nib is slightly rounder than the Crosshatched Elte, and has a small, half-moon breather hole above the start of the section. The 18k nib matches the cap and lock nut in color, which contrast nicely with the white section and back cap. The back cap has the 18k ID and the ML17 code is crisply rendered, and the cap has a nice gold accent scroll encircling it before the opening. The fully functioning clip has the curved sloping design not in use now, and gives this pen a nice Showa vibe. This pen shows little sign of use, as both caps and section are very clear without any dings,visible rubbings or scratches. I’d rate this a conservative, B rating, taking into account that it’s vintage. Why did Pilot stop giving alternatives to the Elite? $85 CONUS insured/shipped.
Lastly we have a black with gold accent 18k nib pen. The pen features a wet gold-colored 18k nib that is more streamlined than the rounder white Elite, and it lacks the crescent breather hole of the Crosshatch Elite. The top cap has a sloping finial, and the bottom band has a downward pointing concave motif introduced after 1974. The 18k logo is clear as is the body cap etching reading OC11. The pen opens and closes securely, and the clip is in excellent shape, functioning as designed. The nib writes wet and smoothly, and the lineweight is typical for a Japanese nib. This pen is in very nice shape, and I’d rate it a conservative B-. It’s hard to see the wear here on this 50 year old pen. $85 CONUS insured/shipped.
Thanks for looking. Please ask questions!

Hello everyone 😀 so recently the air in my 2001 Honda Civic stopped working. I’ve checked both air conditioner and the heat and nothing comes out at all 😥 I checked all of the fuses and they’re all perfectly fine. However I ran a DTC diagnostic and got a Code 9. I’m completely lost at this point and have no idea where to go from here, any advice is welcome! Thank you!

Prologue

Hello and welcome to my post. I will subdivide this into two large parts. One will cover my thoughts, feelings, my hopes and dreams...While the other will tell you the specifics of how I pass the time, what topics interest me, what passions do I posses. I believe that at the end of this leap into my inner world, you dear reader, will have all the necessary information to judge whether we are compatible or not.

Part I
I am writing this in the hopes of finding something that I lack. Lately I have had this feeling, this tinge of melancholy within the dephts of my being, this yearning to find a kindred spirit, another Soul, much like mine, to form a bond with. Perhaps Loneliness is the right word for what is bothering me, but to use it seems to carry with it a connotation of ungratefulness. Ungratefulness for the people that I do have in my life, although none of them, of course, have the connection to me that I seek here.

I have found it increasingly necessary to seek in this Life a sort of purity of thought. What I mean is, I have began to undestand what ideas and concepts are ultimately compatible with my inner most Self, ergo what guidelines I have to follow to feel the most whole. Naturally I have likewise realised what I cannot add to my Self and what I will henceforth reject with all the power that I posses.

With this new context in mind, I now follow on the path of self improvement. I will now begin to mold my Self into my perfected idea of how the Self should be. This is certainly a significant undertaking, one that will not be easy to follow through on but one that I ultimately have to do. To me such context is essential. It is akin to a Guiding Star shining in the night. I will follow this Star for without it I am lost in the vast Darkness.

Looking back at my life, it was suboptimal, especially if one compares the way it molded me to how I will now mold myself. I suppose I must look on with a hint of regret at all that time which one might consider to be lost. Still... I try to stave off such decisively negative interpretations, after all, I have ultimately came to these conclusions. That means that somewhere along the line I had to have picked up on enough of such ideas for them to become so cemented in my consciousness. Well, either that or I was always like this, but in that case I can at least thank my life up to this point for not being able to supress such manifestations of my inner most Self.

To add to the topic of my life, I must admit that not all the battles have yet been won, not all the Demons vanquished, not every Mountain climbed. I want you to keep such things in mind when deciding whether or not to approach me. Many will shy away, I undestand that much, but the pursuit of true Companionship is just another such battle. Having said all that I do believe that being able to overcome hurdles together carries with it a certain appeal. That is to say, what's the fun in joining once the Game is already over?

I don't shy away from such challenges, perhaps to a fault. Certain troubles that I faced in the past carry with them a long shadow over my current health and well being. Still, I intend to change little in this regard other than the proficiency with which I will clash the current of my Will against the cliffs of Life.
Part II
In this part of my post I will tell you about my interests and hobbies, I will try to be thorough, commonality in this regard is rather important to build a relationship
History. I have had an interest in history for almost a decade now, it started back in school and developed from there. Well, now that I think about it one could argue that it started even earlier in my life as I liked watching the odd historic documentary or film aired on television but it wasn't regular back then, I never actively sought it out. I am mostly interested in European history in the period between the 18th-20th century but I sometimes branch out to other time periods and other parts of the world. I watch various channels related to history and read articles and sometimes books. I have recently got a few books on the German revolution of 1848/1849 and a historical magazine on the Thirty Years' War. Besides that I try to visit museums sometimes.
Literature. Especially old novels. I like to immerse myself in the Worlds of these books, I tend to read them while listening to thematically fitting music and take my time with them. One time you are following a troubled Youth in his quest for spiritual understanding of the world, another you see the aged and decrepit Doctor gambling his very Soul on the promises of abtaining satisfaction in earthy pleasures, then again your olfaction notices the most pleasant scent known to man even as the one eminating it has the appearance of a revolting Frog. These and many other stories open up to you once you decide to set foot into the literary World.
Languages. I know three, with one being a bit rusty. I am currently working intently on strengthening it. I believe that if I continue to apply myself in this regard then I should be able to finally conquer it. What language am I working on? Well, if you were to stack all the major works in it they would be as tall as a house... It is fun to go through different works in multiple languages, the same goes for film, games and such.
Games. I recently played Cyberpunk 2077. Well as recently as I played any major story centric game. Now that the dust has settled and the bugs mostly removed...It's not that bad. The main questline at least. Besides that I tried Fallout 76 (Very average, I'm dissapointed with what they made the "RPG" system) and I might give Deus Ex Manking Divided another spin (since it's somewhat similar to Cyberpunk when it comes to its aesthetics). Dark Souls is one of my favorite series, I still haven't beaten Elden Ring though. When it came out I wasn't in the right mindset to invest a hundred hours into it, with all those bosses and difficult locations. I think I'll only consider playing it if I am streaming it to someone. I am generally interested in either streaming games or having the person I am talking to stream them to me. To be specific I mean streaming to a single person while being on call. Besides that I'm a big fan of Paradox strategy games, especially Europa Universalis IV and Heats of Iron IV, I tend to only play single player since I find multiplayer with many people to be rather stressful but on the other hand I have nothing against a co-op game. I'm not the best player though, despite the ammount of hours I have in them. Another great game I would mention would be Dragon's Dogma. A very underrated RPG. I recently beat it again and it was an atmospheric and interesting experience. It is one of those games that feel like they have an endless ammount of depth and constant new secrets to discover.
Anime and Manga. In recent times my interest in them has waned but I still watch the occasional series here and there. Like Cyberpunk Edgerunners (Which I found to be rather mediocre) and the very good first season from the new arc of Bleach. Some of my favourite series include: Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Death Note, Fate;Zero, Psycho Pass, Code Geass and Attack on Titan. I wouldn't mind if you were to introduce me to some new series, maybe based on the ones I mentioned. My favourite Manga is Berserk which I still follow, althought I am still not certain on the direction that the new author is taking. I suppose it really is a matter of contention whether a somewhat (or considerably warped) vision is better than an unfinished work. One could argue that a few novels remain unfinished and possess a macabre appeal to them as such.
Music. Classical music has a very special place in my heart. A few of my favourite pieces would be: Clair de Lune, Nocturne Op. 9 No.2, Devil's Trill Sonata, Danse Macabre, Valse Sentimentale, Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op. 92: II. Alegreto (by Beethoven) and Suite from Swan Lake, Op. 20a: I. Scene. Moderato. There are more but these ones always invoke something in me when I listen to them. Besides Classical I also enjoy listening to Synthwave, old Western pop and J-pop, both modern and from the 20th century.
Esotericism. I am interested in things spiritual, mystical, magical and esoteric. I have read religios texts, magical grimoires, introductions to various schools of thought. It is interesting to me.
Epilogue
Hopefully I was able to cast the spotlight upon my inner World in a clear and unequivocal manner. I feel the need to add to the aforementioned that I am rather introverted, which means that I tend to dislike large social gatherings. I managed to condition myself to be able to endure the presense of large groups of people but it isn't something that I would seek out in most cases. Besides that I am neurodivergent and suffer from certain issues with mental health. I have to take medication to keep myself under control. They work well enough but certain days are harder than others. I respect the struggle that others have with mental health but in the context of a relationship I have my limits, no one with BDP for instance. I am also not looking for anything casual. I understand than one cannot demand depth and meaning from a conversation with an absolute stranger, that is akin to trying to build a sand castle right before the waves strike but I ask at least that you enter with a mindset that this might become something of significance. I also do want to say that I am completely Monogamous. My preference? The sickly, pale, intellectual who watches rain droplets slide down the window in Autumn. Lastly, if I enjoy the company of a person I tend to not want to let them go.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post and have a good day. I ask that you send a DM instead of a chat and that you give the English translation of my title as your own.
Goodbye...Or perhaps untill we meet again

Hey guys, so I figured I’d make a post on healing from toxic mold. I haven’t been on here lately because I truly feel like I’ve got to a point where I no longer needed to rely on this account with all the different treatments I’ve been focusing on for the last 11 months. I feel incredibly good and truly feel like I’ve gotten my self back. I do have some symptoms left, but it’s so tolerable. Now I know my body is healing. My family moved out of toxic mold last July and 2023. I never thought I would ever feel this good again. I felt so lost and I thought that was gonna be my life forever. Everything I have done has been consistently used, especially taking herbs, binders, and antifungals, and really digging deeper than just mold toxicity. We all know we have parasites, so that was a huge one for me. I also have a lot of heavy metals that I’ve been tackling toxicity, candida, overgrowth, and chronic Lyme. Everything that I did range from some hyperbaric oxygen chamber sessions, biofeedback, qest, NAET therapy, foot detox baths, body/emotion code, herbs that are broad spectrum to tackle everything I’m dealing with, anti fungals, and binders. I did infared sauna a few times, but I would get too sick. I would love to try it again now that I’m feeling a lot better.
I was taking almost 15 different types of supplements which I won’t name all because I finally found a couple that has helped me the most I wouldn’t want anyone to waste their money on the other herbs/ supplements.
Supplements they i feel like has really helped me
Bodybio pc Armra I01 (this one has given me the most results) Golden thread from supreme nutrition Takesumi which is a binder.
I took way too many other ones that may have helped, but didn’t really move the needle for me like these have .
Now I’m down to just taking the i01 and armra and i truly feel so dang good and amazing.
if you are someone dealing with mold toxicity and maybe chronic lyme, I hope this can help you and there is light at the end of the tunnel. I truly felt like there wasn’t when I was in the thick of it, but with persistence on finding all kinds of ways to heal, you will get there .
On the bright side of everything because I know that everyone wants to know results I’ve been doing bio feedback which has been telling me my fungal and mold numbers and since taking one of the supplements was only thing i did differently in just a month and a half my numbers went down 20 points according to biofeedback.

I am teaching myself how to code/program/develop. I am a beginner and I am some ways away from being able to code an app, so I have no problem with using a “no-code-app-builder” to accomplish this task, but it’s not going well……probably because I haven’t touched code for app development, at all, yet.
What I need is to take my WooCommerce orders, turns the order line items into a list with a button next to each item. Each button opens a barcode scanner, which will scan store barcodes and check to make sure it matches against (whatever) database, returns boolean and marks the item as “found” if true.
Why am I doing this? I’m sick of being disposable and being worried about not having a job/getting fired when life circumstances affect me enough to lose my job or not winning the popularity contest. Unfortunately, 99% of employers don’t care about life circumstances, so I no longer want to participate as someone’s employee. I refuse to continue to be disrespected because someone gives me a paycheck to support their shitty, half-assed ideas.
rant over
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Like what languages do I need to learn to do what I’m describing? I can see possibly doing this with JS, but I am only just not reaching an intermediate level. So I don’t really know is JS Is capable of that.
Maybe there other methods or a “no-code” site that will build this for me?
Thanks

So I just finished making this, thought I'd share it.
This is my first big attempt at making a "full" game using classes for everything. I used to play a lot of minesweeper so I was inspired to do this properly. And not only that but being a beginner, and also part of my personality, is I like to comment my code to very thorough levels. Every function or class has a full docstring and most of the code has in-line comments explaining what the code is doing. I personally need to "rubber-duck" my code like this to keep myself organized. But I'm hoping some other people out there find it informative.
Here's an overview of the features:
-dynamic grid generation allows for custom sizes and mine count -validation math makes sure everything makes sense and is on the grid -There's a stopwatch that runs in a separate thread for accuracy -cluster reveal function -flagging mode and logic -There's a debug mode (on by default) that shows extremely verbose logging of all the inputs and outputs of functions and game states. I actually needed this myself at several points for debugging. You can toggle the debug mode in-game. -type reveal to toggle reveal the entire grid (for... testing... yes.) -previous times can remember your times between rounds -For the real minesweeper players, there's a '3x3 flags vs minecount' check built in as well! You can't have a legit minesweeper game without it seriously.
(For the uninitiated that means when you "check" a square that's already been revealed, it'll auto reveal the 3x3 squares around (skipping the flags) it as long as it counts a number of flags equal to or higher than its adjacent mine count. If you have not flagged enough cells, it won't do the check. Its an essential part of minesweeper that lets you scan quickly by checking a bunch of squares at the same time. Anyway its in there.

• UNLIMITED mode I put this in for hardcore testing of the game logic. Basically I put it in to test how the game handles the cluster reveal function on huge sizes. For instance if you put 1000x1000 width/height, and then 10 mines. Then I've been playing around with various optimization methods to make it run faster. Its a neat little bonus to stress-test and learn optimization techniques.

Also I made this in VS Code and hopefully most of you are as well because there's a bunch of ANSI coloring codes to make the text pretty in the terminal . I confirmed it works in PyCharm as well so you should be fine with that. Although the pycharm terminal is suspiciously laggy compared to VS Code for some reason.
Anyway hopefully someone finds this interesting. For the record yes I did submit this last week but I forgot to set the github repo to public and so nobody looked at it lol. I figured I'd re-submit it.

Atlantis Commission
Officer Report - Lieutenant Colonel John Shepard
CLEARANCE LEVEL 5
Well this had definitely been a very interesting couple of hours. This dimension and its people had very odd opinions and ideas. Apparently the prey species of this dimension were all obligate cowards, whose instincts compelled them to be non-violent and run from threats. At least according to themselves. There were apparently some of them who were “predator diseased” as they called it, a disease which often resulted in increased violence, aggression, lack of empathy, and unheard like behavior. It sounded to me like some form of infectious psychopathy, but the venlil assured us it shouldn't affect us since we were predators, which didn’t really ease my fears, but hopefully it was something we could figure out when we got home if it ever became a problem.
Gotta love mandatory quarantine periods woo hoo!
As scary as this odd disease sounded, my main concern at the moment was to try and turn a professed coward into someone who could at the very least defend themselves.
I looked down to the table of gear ahead of me and then over to the mostly naked Venlil to my side, and then even farther to Tiel’c who thought It would be a good idea to help oversee Farva’s rapid fire training course. I fiddled with the bluetooth earpiece which was rigged up to one of our handhelds to run a translation program to speak directly with the captain. A big step up from our unknowingly one sided communications earlier.
I stepped on the other side of the plastic table and placed my hands down upon it and looked on at my new student..
“Welcome Captain Farva to our very impromptu accelerated course on Human arms armor and basic infantry tactics.” I said gesturing to the hodge podge gear we had managed to assemble for the good captain. “Are we ready to begin?”.
She flicked her ears, somewhat nervously by the looks.
“I’d take it that's a yes then?”
“Oh yes sorry”
“Alright then, well given that most of our crew is human and the only other alien struts around naked all the time, the only gear we have on hand is for humans, So you're going to be running size smalls and it's all going to fit all a bit big” I say as I toss her the tactical vest. ”Here try this on, we can try to tighten it up if it's a bit loose anywhere”. The captain wrestles with the buckles a bit, and Teal'c helps her tighten up some of the top straps, as the Venil’s shoulders weren't as broad as humans. Farva gave Teal’c an odd look, but seemed appreciative none the less.Once finished, she grasped the vest in her paws with interest. “This armor seems quite lightweight, which is nice, weight is often an issue that causes us to forgo armor, since heavy armor would hurt our running ability.” Farva remarks. “Also the sheer amount of pockets seems quite excessive, what do you need all these for?”
“Well for starters it's currently missing these '' I hand Farva one of the armor plates which she looks over. “That is a depleted Naquadria ceramic composite plate. It’s designed to stop bullet impacts and dissipate energy weapon blasts. It slots into that chest compartment in the front and back of your armor.”
“This isn't quite what Id imagine for the armor of your kind”
“What do you mean?” I asked.
“Well judging by your ships I would have imagined you would put more emphasis on defense Your predatory nature would make you less likely to run away from conflict allowing for more encompassing armor to cover more than just your chest, since you have less need to run.”
She would put it like that.
“Well there are a number of reasons for that, a lot to do with those excess pockets you mentioned. For starters you will not be carrying the same amount of gear that the standard infantry unit would normally be carrying, we are preparing you for a quick in and out op. Normally us expedition teams need to be deployed into unknown territory for extended periods of time, we need to carry everything we might need with us from food, bullets, weapons, to comms gear, sensors, repelling equipment etc. The weight from all that gear adds up fast; In order to stay sufficiently mobile and combat effective; we only carry enough armor to protect our vitals, head and torso, anything else can hopefully be patched up by a field medic.”
Tielc gave his piece as well. “It is important to know when to run both towards and aways from one's foes, not every battle can be won through strength alone, but by strategy and cunning. Being able to reposition oneself quickly is therefore highly advantageous”
Farva seemed to freeze at Teal'c's statement, not out of fear I think, she instead had a distant look in her eye. To snap her out of her slump I handed her a standard ballistic helmet.
Seeming to get the idea she looked at it oddly and tried it on. It confirmed to her head shape decently well but depressed her ears to either side of her head, kind of resembling what one might imagine a sad bunny rabbit to look like “I don't think this will be something I can bring with me” she said ” I can't use ear signals and this will muffle my hearing.”
“Why don’t you keep it on for the time being, I think any extra hearing protection might be useful considering what we are about to try next.” I hand Farva some ballistic ear protectors, slightly modified and somewhat ramshackle. “One of the corporals worked closely with Nurse Fila to get an idea for safe decibels levels for your kind, we were also able to get these earbuds molded to fit into your ear canal better”
Farva took them and slipped them in. “These are a bit uncomfortable, what do I need these for?”
“You'll need them for this” I say as I unsnap the clasps on the weapons case revealing its contents.
The content seems to capture Farva’s interest, getting a slight tail wave.
“Okay So this here is a p90, It carries a 50 round top loading magazine of teflon coated armor piercing ordnance. With a cyclical rate of fire of 900 rounds per minute.”
Farvas ears perk up at this. “This seems like an efficient design, I take it these are a flashlight and laser sight for accuracy?” She asked, pointing to the top of the weapon.
“Yes we also have holographic and acog optics which will help line up targets from farther away.” I look on as Farva picks up the weapon and inspects it, testing the weight as I note that it will weigh a fair bit more once loaded. But she doesn't seem to be struggling with the weight. I can't help but notice good firearm safety as well, she keeps her finger well off the trigger and takes care to keep her weapon pointed aways from anyone else.
“This seems like a solid design but I'm not sure how useful those weapon optics would be, as they are not designed for my side facing eyes”
“I'm sure our master at arms can figure something out, why don't we give it a test fire first tho, before we send it off to make adjustments.” I instruct her on how to load the weapon and turn the safety off. I warn her of the sound it makes. And while definitely taken aback by the recoil and sound at first, she quickly gets the hang of it, she has some respectable shot groupings in both single fire and in short bursts. And keeps the rounds reasonably centered while firing in full auto.
She did a whole lot better than I would have initially suspected given her performance in the hanger bay a day before.
“The rate of fire seems useful” Farva spoke “This would be useful for our soldiers, our accuracy falters when we are panicked, and the increased shot count should guarantee some hits based on volume of fire alone” she finished with a dejected expression.
She quickly places the weapon back in its case, as if it burned to touch.” I don't know if I should be armed for this mission, at least not with that weapon, I don't want to miss and hit one of you in the back!”
“What? Nonsense, you are a great shot, and this is just a precaution in case we get separated or flanked and need some covering fire. If our guys are doing their job right you shouldn't need to fire a single round anyways.”
Captain Farva’s breathing started to hasten, earlier I might have thought it was fear, but I was starting to get an idea of what the captain's issues were. I’ve seen this before.
“I.. I can’t be trusted with this responsibility, every time I am left in charge of something, every time people put their lives in my paws I ....”
“Farva, don’t you start with me now you hear.” I said sternly, swiftly capping off her inevitable spiral of self doubt.
“But.. no.. you don’t understand”
Stopping her again I spoke. “But nothing, what happened before on that ship, and back at that colony is in the past. I don’t know your whole situation, but from what I have gathered from the crew It was nothing good. You feel responsible and it's eating away at you, and frankly it doesn’t matter if that's true or not. Accidents happen, people make mistakes, and when that happens we need to learn, take those lessons to heart, and don't let it stop us from helping people in the present. If you let guilt, or fear of mistakes stop you, then bad guys have already won, all without having to have fired a shot”
Farva is quiet for a short time, I was hoping I got through to her, I'm not the best and pep talks and this certainly wasn’t your typical weapons demo, if only everyones could go as smoothly as Ronan’s.
Farva spoke quietly, arms pressed up against her chest, she looked so sad, defeated, and small. Well more than usual anyways. “We can't be strong like you humans, we are too emotional and when we are scared we run away or we lock up and...”
“And that is clearly not the case with you captain Farva” Teal’c finally reentered the conversation having heard enough. “You have shown courage with every action you have taken so far, your actions have saved the lives of many of your crew, every time you have been threatened you acted not just to protect yourself but others as well. You attempted to contend with beings many times your size without even thinking about it, all in the effort to protect others, and this is only in the time we have known you, this speaks nothing of your actions over the colony. You are a warrior of admirable courage Captain Farva, your self doubt is unearned.”
A single tear rolled down Farva’s eyes which she quickly wiped away. “That was very nice of you to say, but I'm not brave like you say, I was terrified out of my mind the whole time.”
Teal’c looked puzzled. “I did not call you brave, I said you were courageous.”
Farva shot back with the little venlil one up one down ear flick I had very quickly learned was confusion.” I'm confused you just said brave twice”
“Hmm it appears your language does not contain the word I am using, I apologize I am not used to speaking through a translator” Teal’c relented “ There are two words I am using admittedly in slightly different forms, bravery and courage. Bravery or to be brave is to lack fear, to not be afraid to begin with. Courage tho, Is a trait far more admirable. Courage is to be afraid, to have fear, to worry about one's own mortality and personal safety. It is to acknowledge risk, danger, to feel fear, but to act in spite of it.”
“Had I not met your kind before I would have thought predators don't feel fear.”
“Everyone fears feel Farva, It is how we overcome it that determines our worth as warriors”
Teal’c picks up the p90 and returns it to Farvas hands.
“Your people need a warrior Farva, a warrior who protects the innocent and guides the lost to safety. You have shown how collected you can be in the heat of battle, You have already proven your worth in our eyes Farva, now you must do the same in your own. The greatest enemy lies not without” Teal’c places his hand firmly on the venlil’s chest “But within”.
After Action Report - Venlil Colonial Defense Force
Subject : Chief Engineer Donu
I fiddled with my holopad, Its small surface area proving to be a consistent source of annoyance in my current endeavor. Gone was the large workspace afforded to me by my holotable back in my office. Instead I had to work with the scaled down portable holotablet I was just fortunate enough to have strapped to my person when I was beamed away from our last ship. I was stuck with its smaller keyboard and slower rendering speeds.
An annoyed smooth skin alien looked over my shoulder at my device, attached to it was a jury rigged fiber optic cable, slotted into a terran silicon to crystal patch cable, which would convert the electrical signals broadcasted by my tablet into a bandwidth that the terrans crystalline based computers; which they used for highly complex tasks like hyperdrive and transporter systems; could use, and then It was patched again in a even stranger connector to patch into the odd asgard computer stones.
All in all it looked like someone tried to plug a regular computer into some crystal construct like you would find in a fantasy holonovel, and again plugged that into a harchen heat rock sauna lounge. Finally branching out from this conglomeration was a simple copper based wire that connects to a computer terminal at which currently sat the late Doctor Rodney Mckay. A title upon initially hearing led me to believe he was a medical doctor, which led to a flurry of medical questions that he had absolutely no means of answering.
While this odd alien nomenclature was interesting, what intrigued me more was his actual area of expertise, theoretical astrophysics, as well as a number of other diverse specialties and fields. Not to mention not only was he a great scientist who had he been raised in the more civilized portion of this galaxy, would have knowledge and aptitude that would put him alongside some of Aafas greatest minds, but he was also an engineer without peer, at least in this galaxy. His interactions with general Samantha Carter hinted at her possibly being his match if not more. For a species that was supposed to glorify violence the decision to have a scientist be arguably the most senior member of what was by their admission a military vessel spoke to their commitment to knowledge and understanding, a very noble prey-like goal.
I looked warily at the lines of code at my screen, the asguard translation program had earlier scanned our ship and was able to parse written languages, but complex files, like images and 3d design schematics were harder to encode and decode from our perspective systems. As is stands we have 3 completely separate computer architectures, the asguard can talk to human computers and the venlil computers can talk to the asguard computers, It sounds like we would have everything we need to get a human C.A.D schematic into a venlil holotablet right? Wrong! And you're stupid for entertaining such a idiotic notion! Parsing text from raw binary is relatively straight forward, you're just looking for patterns, repeating bit combinations that might infer letters and then iterating them over millions of times looking for patterns, letters, words, and then with a bit of help from some undecoded analog audio transmission, spoken language. This is a far cry from actual procedural communication protocols,the ones that allow for file transfers, exactly what we needed if we were to get Rodney's redesigned part schematics into a format and medium that can be plugged into a suitable fabricator. Assuming one still exists, which I can reasonably assume it does.
Speaking of which, I have just made something of a breakthrough. For upon my screen appears a simple geometric hydrogen cube, we’re talking vertices, planes, material data, everything we need for a usable design file.
I let out an excited pent up yip, the culmination of hours of frustrating software integration work. Unfortunately I startled Rodney, who lets out a panicked gasp and clutches his chest pelts with one of his paws.
“Oh god…..” He gasps, pointing at me “Please.. don’t do that”
“Sorry!” I say a bit meekly. I slowly approach him so as to not make him unnecessarily uncomfortable and show him my work.
“I got the file exchange set up, all we need from you is to finish any modifications to your part, upload them to my holopad, and then we can print away at any class 3 or above fabricator we can scrounge up on Brayga colony.”
“Ok.. um.. got it, I'm almost done i’m just you know” He points a lone grasping appendage at his screen,”Running some simulations, making sure everything is up to spec.” keeping his response kurt. “Sorry for freaking out there.”
I nod my head in the human display of affirmation and return to my workstation to further bug check my work, to test potentially problematic edge cases for when he finishes. Tho Rodney's continued odd behavior intruded on my thoughts.
I should have felt empowered, being able to intimidate this ‘massive beast’, but I didn't. I didn't like being feared, his people have been nice to me, Rodney himself courteous to a fault and desperate for positive attention.
I thought I could expect predators to be fearless but that clearly wasn't the case, rodney was fearful, nervous, had I not known better I would say defective, and while it annoyed his crew, they didn't berate him for it, or attempt to assert dominance, they encouraged it even with placating words and tried to help him through it, they encouraged and supported him like a proper herd, even if sometimes it took the form of what the human would call a playful ribbing. I supposed I could help him as well.
I approached him again, careful to make my approach known to him, making sure to approach from within his limited field of vision. He looks up at me with a wide eyed glare, had I not known him I might have assumed it was hunger, but I did and knew it to be concern.
“Uh high Donu.. um whats up?”
“Why are you afraid of us rodney?”
“Wa-What, me afraid?” he gives out a panicked laugh ”uh no no, I'm not afraid, you know just a bit weirded out I'm just getting used to you all, it's not a fear thing it's a a…. Just getting used to new aliens thing, ask Hermirod we went through this whole song and dance right buddy”
Hermirod furrowed his brow and gave an irritated sigh from across the room.
I reached out to take Rodney by the paw.
His whole body flinched at my mere touch, I quickly withdrew my paw.
“Oh.. um.. I didn't…”
“Rodney! It's okay, your crew doesn’t seem to care when you show fear, and neither do I. Why are you afraid of us? You are almost twice our size and surely double our strength, most venlil would scream and run in terror at the mere sight of you. What's wrong?”
Rodney let out a sigh. “Oh its, we don't have to talk about this, I can deal with this, I deal with scary situations all the time, it's fine, I'll be fine.”
“Rodney, my people are a very emotional, empathic people, we are open with our feelings and with our fear, and the fear of the one can affect the herd, please let me help you. I don’t know what to expect from your society but I promise I wont judge you for your fear or emotions, I mean look at many of my crew mates, we are no one to judge”
Rodney shot back “You didn't seem to be so bothered”
“I’m too old to care, I was about to retire, hell I was about to die as far as I knew, Brayga colony was supposed to be a quiet place to lay back, work on some hobbies, plant a garden and pester the young men of my colony until I either dropped dead of boredom or got lucky” I joked.
That seemed to raise Rodney's mood somewhat. He sighed and seemingly relented.
“It’s… a dumb story, I don't even know why it affected me so much, I come from a place on earth called Canada, people don't usually believe me when I say I am from there, us Canadians are notoriously friendly and I guess I haven’t exactly filled that mold for a lot of my life, but hey I'm working on it, people like me, I have lots of friends back at Atlantis” He says the last sentence in a way as if it isn't me he's trying to convince.
“I'm sure you do, Rodney, You seem like quite the charming individual when you're not cowering!”
“Ha ha thanks, maybe you could come and visit sometime. Tell that to doctor Becket, really nice guy, smart man, he would love to meet you, he loves investigating new species. But back on topic, oh boy, so me and my sister Jeannie were on a family trip to rural Vancouver to visit my grandpa's farm, he kept a lot of goats, not for eating or anything, they were essentially pets that he would use for milk”
“Wait hold on? You drink milk from other animals! Do your females not produce enough milk for their young?”
“Oh um no, we just sort of drink it or ferment it into cheese!”
“Ferment? You mean spoil?
“Yeh”
I reeled from this plasma blast of a statement, I like any right minded venlil had a number of nightmares about being an arxur’s cattle before, especially when I first learned about those things in primary school, but never once had it crossed my mind that we could be used for something so weird. What the speh was I supposed to do with that information?
“Maybe you should get back on topic”
“Yeh sorry about that uh.. Anyways the momma goat had just had a litter of babies, and their real cute when their little, so late in the day when my grandpa was asleep we snuck out to the pens so we can play with the little baby goats, our grandpa told us not to but you now how kids are.”
At this I think back to a young Nyan, as I teach him the inner working of the hyperdrive, I tell him he’s not cleared yet to operate in this engine compartment alone, but I could tell from the occasional caught black hairs and dropped writing implements, there had been a number of curious unauthorized expeditions into its inner workings, he didn't really listen either.
“My sister as always was trying to be the voice of reason, wanting to take it slow. If I was paying attention I might have noticed the angry moma goat who didn’t appreciate the strange human messing with her children.”
The color seemed to drain from his face.
“I uh…” He began to stutter again ”I screamed, a lot, it was rather undignified, she ran right at me, thank god it wasn't a male goat, one with horns, I tired to run but I was hit in the back and knocked over and kicked real good in the head, like wake up in the vet clinic a quarter mile down the road kind of bad”
“This goat was a prey animal?”
“That would be what your kind focuses on”
“Oh sorry”
“Anyways It seems dumb but I have just never been good with animals since then, especially ones that look like you; no offense; I'm getting better but when I first saw you guys in the hangar bay, I was just that dumb kid again, getting in way over my head, scared for my life. I guess there is something to be said about childhood trauma. I really should be over this, I'm getting better with it I swear it’s just”
I take his paw again, he doesn't flinch this time.
“I'm a venlil, a prey animal, I know fear, I know what it is to live in fear, It rattles your brain, it turns your paws to wet grains. It takes great strength to overcome it, to push it aside just long enough to protect the herd. Your herd relies on you Rodney and you are doing a great job in spite of your fear, in spite of having to work with those you fear. You have achieved intellectual feats that rival the greatest minds of the federation and all that while struggling with a traumatic experience. Fear isn’t dumb and there is nothing wrong with you for feeling it.”
“Thank you” Rodney says “That means a lot, I won't be like forever I promise, I just need some time.”
“We will laugh about this someday,” I assured. “Nothing as big and intelligent as you should be afraid of anything”
“Are you calling me fat?” Rodney exclaimed with fake offense.
We both chuckled.
My kind words had resulted in a more upright posture, and a more cheerful demeanor from the human, almost like when I congratulated Nyan on his work, and it got me a look at that happy snarl of his, that I was starting to grow quite fond of.
After Action Report - Venlil Colonial Defense Force
Subject : Apprentice Engineer Nyan
Oh wow! I get to write a report for this mission! I never get to write reports, Donu says they're too boring, but there’s so many interesting things going on all the time. Sometimes I sneakily write my own! Just for fun of course, nobody sees them, which is probably for the best as I sometimes get excited and embellish them slightly. One of the reports I wrote was about the time Donu used nothing but a wad of electrical tape, a bottle of high grain venlil alcohol and a pocket knife to repair a venlil medical ship just in time to get out of the way of a big scary space predator, with glowing red eyes and a million tentacles!
Anyways Im not sure If im suppose to write these In present tense first person or past tense. I asked the captain and she said it's whatever so long as I make sure any pertinent dialogues are properly quoted(“”).
“Nobody usually reads these things anyways.” She said, but this one is surely going to be so exciting, who could look away!
I mean who's gonna scoff at a chance to read about friendly predators from another dimension! A dimension of friendly predators who give warm head scratches and hand out yummy strayu not strayu treats called donuts, that are somehow fluffier than strayu, and have a nice moisture to them. I asked for the recipe but Samantha said we wouldn't have the ingredients back on Venili prime to make them, and Teal'c said the recipe is an old family secret. Its weird predators would be so protective of their plant snacks.
There are so many weird things about these predators, they have nurturing instincts that make them find us cute. They stay perfectly balanced even if they don’t have tails, swinging their arms and body all over the place to keep upright like a lopsided gyroscope, it's pretty funny looking!
They also wear artificial pelts all the time, which I thought was weird, I thought maybe the ships temperature was set by the angry gray alien since he’s the only crew member beside the venlil who walks around naked all the time, maybe he had a fit when it was to warm, and the humans obliged him cause they were worried they would make him even angrier, and wore clothes to make up for the cold. I thought this made sense, a lot of their technology does seem to come from the Asguard, maybe he has more say in the goings on of the ship because of that. But apparently humans just like wearing pelts all the time. They feel uncomfortable without them and don’t like it if you try to remove them or look up their upper artificial pelts they call shirts.
The humans are so weird, I don’t even have to embellish my reports to make it more interesting. Like that time with the big tentacled space predator. That may sound real compared to this stuff but it Isn't, Ha! I bet you fell for it at first, hook line and sinker! Like the humans would say. I think I used that saying right, I'm not sure what it means, but Shepard brought it up when he was telling a story about the wraith.
The humans are so nice, instead of exterminating their predators they try to cure them! Their doctors are working to modify the wraith so they don't have to eat humans anymore, so they can be friendly predators too.
Anyways I should probably get to the actual report part of this report. Farva says I should start after I went off with Samantha to work on some special astrophysics equations she said I would be good at. I kind of wanted to go with Donu to help Rodney get the new parts they needed, or Farva to help rescue our people, but the humans and even the angry gray alien got really weird when Farva mentioned taking me on the mission. Samantha seemed to want me to help her really badly so I didn’t mind. Samantha says I have the most important part to our mission. She's teaching me about how humans communicate through subspace, and about stellar drift equations. We are working on what she calls the exit strategy.

A/N: yeah I changed up the Alliance admiral's name from Shepard Adama to Sheparda Dama (so creative i know) because the old one was going to fuck me over badly at some point. It would be like trying to make a legitimate, serious fantasy novel with a wizard named Albus Gandalf. I was NOT cooking when I came up with that shit.
First Previous Wiki Next
It was said that no plan ever survived contact with the enemy. That, at least in the case of Marcus Wayne’s infiltration of Neldia, was proven entirely true.
His ship, the Peacemaker, had undergone an extensive refit before its jump to Neldia to both modify its sensor signature and repair its failing Aegis barrier. The first objective succeeded. The second did not.
One day later, leaving the derelict Ultimate Vigil behind in deep space, the United Human Alliance courier ship Winged Deliverance logged a real space entry at the edge of the Neldia system. Its crew, having spent their waking hours plagued by hallucinations and enduring horrible nightmares as they slept, found this shift very welcome. The worst, though they could hardly believe it, was still yet to come.
“The Neldian fleet is mustering for war,” rumbled the man who had once held the title and security codes of an Alliance sector admiral. Now, he was a traitor to his homeland. “Security will be high.”
“No need to worry, Admiral,” said Marcus Wayne. “Your code will get us through.” It would not.
It took two hours for the Peacemaker, disguised as the Winged Deliverance, to be challenged by the Neldian Armada. “Transmit clearance code,” said an automated voice. Marcus took out a data disc with the admiral's clearance code on it.
“Hold,” said Terris. She was clad in black, her active camouflage offline to save battery, and she had been sitting at the passive sensor console for the past three hours. “Look at this.” A news broadcast popped up in front of Marcus Wayne and his officers. Sector Admiral Sheparda Dama, or at least he was once a sector admiral, had been tried and convicted of high treason.
“It was a secret trial,” Dama said, still in shock at the revelation. “I had no knowledge of this.”
“Well, that tracks, but what do we do now? What code gets us through?”
“Transmit clearance code,” the voice said again, “or adjust course.”
Dama thought for a moment. “Change course,” he said. “We’re not getting through.”
They did. A great sense of defeat took hold in the hearts of the crew. They would never reach the Neldian hypercom. Sheparda Dama, who would have gladly given his life in defense of humankind, would never get the chance to be the man who broke their chains.
The Peacemaker was halfway out of the Neldia system before Terris spoke again. “Hold it,” she said. “I have an idea.”
That was why she had been placed where she was. Clad in an airtight stealth suit. Inside a hollowed-out asteroid. On a ballistic journey to the heart of Neldian space. It was the most insane idea that Marcus Wayne had ever seen.
But, sometimes, insanity was a symptom of genius.
Terris flew past the Neldian Armada undetected. Many asteroids entered the inner system this way, flung by outer-system prospecting ships to the foundries and shipyards in Neldian orbit, and they were thrown and caught so frequently that only the most cursory of inspections was put upon each one. Terris passed the Alliance fleet entirely undetected.
Terris’ chameleon suit could mimic the sensor return of the precious metals it was buried in, at least enough to fool a probing scan, and the cuts made by Protectoral engineers had been so precise that Terris had fit inside there with barely a centimeter of space to spare. She was effectively entombed inside sixty meters of solid rock.
Interstellar espionage was not a job for the claustrophobic.
Finally, after days of waiting, the signal came. She was in range. A mental command triggered a series of shaped charges in the rock above her, if such directions existed in microgravity, and forty pea-sized explosives blasted a circular tunnel all the way to the asteroid surface. If just one of them had failed, that rock might have been her tomb.
Terris tried not to think about that as she began climbing her way out. A brief burst from her suit’s EVA thrusters was enough to start her on her way, and the tunnel out was wide enough for her to use her arms and legs to speed things up. Finally, after too long a wait, Terris saw the Neldian sun for the very first time.
There was fire in the distance. Comm chatter on every band. Warships burning hard for the outer system. The Coalition fleet was here.
She zoomed in, far more than she had ever had to before, and she could pick out the faintest flashes of blue as warships exploded in the black. A brief crawl around the asteroid, which also helped to warm up her muscles after days of inactivity, let her discern an attack force engaging the Alliance fleet. After a moment’s hesitation, weighing the risks, Terris activated her passive sensor suite to try and decrypt Alliance military chatter.
Instantly, her sensors were flooded with noise from the defensive bastions. The fleet base at the L5 point was loudest, its comm operators screaming indecipherably at fellow Alliance elements fighting in the black. Neldian orbit, where the hypercom station was, seemed to be the centerpiece of all the communications traffic. The hypercom, unsurprisingly, was being used as a relay for comm traffic all across the system. Terris made a note to hack its server banks for intelligence, and perhaps leave a timed virus or two to shut down the system after she was gone.
Her suit bleeped, alerting her that she was in optimum position to make the leap to the hypercom. She zoomed in on it, a red and spiked thing just like everything else the Alliance made, and calculated the right trajectory to land right on its metal surface.
Trying to jump from a moving asteroid out past Neldia’s rings and hit a hypercom station barely three hundred meters in diameter was like shooting a rifle from a jumbo jet in hopes of hitting a mosquito down on Earth. A nearly impossible shot, even with Coalition computers to help make the jump, and anyone lucky enough to make it would have been better served bankrupting their local casino at the slot machines.
Terris gave a command to her suit, activating a set of ion thrusters to boost her off the asteroid and adjust her course mid-flight. She’d never believed in luck.
She coasted silent and graceful past the particle guns in high orbit, like a majestic swan flying on a summer wind. Their sensor arrays were directed out, past her, to the far distant parts of space where a trillion tons of steel were locked in deadly battle. Terris really did wish she could smile at the moment. She was about to have unrestricted access to the biggest communications relay in the star system, able to send out viruses and receive vital intelligence that could cripple the Alliance fleet if placed in the right hands. Terris, confident as ever, knew they would be.
She would make the Neldian Armada burn, and they had no idea she was even coming.
She reached the hypercom station in just under a day, agonizingly slow for a woman like her, hovering just above its surface to avoid triggering pressure sensors. After that, it was simple enough to get inside. Terris found it almost trivial to bypass the airlock sensor grid and trigger the outer bulkhead to open unnoticed, its report to the command room destroyed before it ever arrived. Entering the station itself was easy after that.
Here, there was gravity. She could not hover like she had on the outside of the station. But here, there were no pressure sensors. She really had no need to hover.
The corridor she found herself in was large enough, though nothing like the expansive halls of a dreadnought, and a patrol of marines in powered suits trundled towards her obliviously. Terris had made the right call not to wear a Phantom powered suit. She ducked into an alcove, the chameleon suit concealing her from even their impressive sensor batteries, and they passed by with no clue at all.
Terris made it to the server banks with ease. Most of the hypercom’s security measures took the form of warships in orbit, clustered tightly around the planet to prevent exactly this scenario from happening, but those warships were off waging war. The station defenses were hopeless now that she was actually inside.
The data was encrypted, and she could neither access it nor copy it without potentially fatal consequences, but she wasn’t there to steal data. A brief, milliseconds-long connection to the primary server was all it took to riddle the entire system with custom-tailored computer viruses. The viruses were self-replicating, rather like an electronic version of the biological ones on Earth. They worked similarly, too, meant to latch onto outgoing communications signals and remain inert for a certain amount of time before activating and wreaking havoc across cyberspace.
The program would be scoured from the net in seconds once it began its assault, but it would cause plenty of chaos before then. And, with another critical transmission being scheduled to send at around that time, Terris knew her mostly-ineffective virus attack would be just enough of a distraction to make sure its message was heard.
Terris planned to leave the station in approximately thirty minutes. Shortly after that, the fireworks would begin. It was going to be beautiful.
She heard footsteps. A maintenance worker, no doubt. It was time for her to go. She disconnected from the server, taking pains to hide her involvement, and snuck out of the server room like a ghost in the night.
Next was the transmission array. This room was better-guarded, its door being flanked by marines, but Terris slipped inside by trailing behind an officer as he entered on some unknown pretext. After that, her daring and sleight of hand made sure Admiral Dama’s pre-recorded propaganda transmission was uploaded to the hypercom transmitter. It came with a set of instructions bearing the Admiralty’s seal, changed to be anonymous, to ensure as many people as possible heard his message.
In just under one standard hour, the United Human Alliance would be shaken to its very core. Terris had just made sure of it.
It took longer than she had expected for the door to open again and give her a chance to slip out. Terris had spent that time quite productively, downloading as many incoming and outgoing messages as she could to the internal hard drive just by her spinal cord. Even if they were encrypted, they’d be useful intelligence once Coalition codebreakers took a crack at them.
After that, it was trivial to slip past marine patrols and escape to the hull of the hypercom station. Terris found her ride, an Alliance warship by the name of Brightest Thunder, holding orbit just near the hypercom station. Admiral Dama, even if he was no longer an admiral, still had connections.
She charged her ion thrusters by tapping into the station reactor, an act which did not go unnoticed, but by then it was too late to respond. She had completed her incursion. The damage had been done. Perhaps if the Alliance acted swiftly and accurately, they could undo it, but Terris was a careful woman. She had covered her tracks well.
Waving one final goodbye to the crew of the hypercom station, Terris triggered her thrust pack and shot off into the ink.
“You must be my passenger.” A man in an Alliance captain’s uniform was waiting for her in the Brightest Thunder’s airlock. He wore a helmet and gloves, hermetically sealed to his airtight outfit, so he felt no effects from the vacuum of space. “I was sent by Sector Admiral Sheparda Dama,” he announced after a period of silence, “To transport you and whatever you may have safely to the Coalition fleet.” Nothing. Apart from the dull thudding of the ship’s railgun batteries, firing missiles at range to ward off a strike force of Coalition ships, the airlock was quiet as a ghost.
“You cannot expect me to endanger my life and the lives of my crew without at least some identification that you are who you claim to be!” Silence. Captain Senar Trevy had been standing in that airlock for three and a half hours, while his ship was tasked with screening Neldia and her eighteen billion inhabitants from harm, and he was just now wondering if he had been talking to a ghost.
“I am,” came a voice. Cold. Sterile. Inhuman. Exactly the kind Trevy expected from the secret spies of his former admiral.
“So you are.” Captain Trevy thought for a moment. He cycled the airlock. If his guest held hostile intent, one steel bulkhead would make no difference. “I’ve been stocking the crew with handpicked men and women since I received word of the operation,” he explained as they walked through the ship’s corridors. The crewmen he passed thought him insane. “I can’t vouch for them all, but the ship as a whole will obey me.” No response. Sometimes, Captain Trevy thought himself insane as well.
“This is my personal quarters,” he told the specter, stepping inside and sealing the door behind him. “I must warn you, for your own safety, it would be best not to leave it. The crew are mostly still Alliance loyalists.” He looked around, paying no heed to the decorated furniture or artificial sky, and finally shrugged and sighed. “Are you even here, still?”
Terris decloaked. She stood between him and the door, winged and cloaked in black like a demon of ancient myth. “I am.”
“You’re a black angel.” Senar Trevy, to his credit, kept his composure well. “A spy for the Ierad Republic.” He questioned her purpose here. They both knew it.
“You weren’t told?”
“I was told an alien would be coming aboard, but…” Trevy shrugged again, as if to say ‘what am I supposed to do?’ “The admiral vouched for you. That much is enough for me.” He also knew he had no choice in the matter. From what he knew about black angels, his ship had been lost the moment she boarded.
“I could have impersonated him,” said Terris, voice a perfect replica of Captain Trevy’s own. Even his own mother could not have told the difference. “And I’m trained to lie.” She was testing him, gauging his reaction to assess his personality. She was good at that.
“I could have you screened for deception,” Trevy countered, pointing up at a pearl-sized camera in the ceiling. Terris made a note that it was disabled. “And I could have had the technology officers vet your transmission.”
“I’m trained to lie well.” Terris sat down on Captain Trevy’s bed, a spartan thing compared to the sleeping quarters of most officers. There were no chairs in the room, so her options were few. She took off her helmet and tried to at least appear relaxed. In reality, she was anything but. “It comes with the job, really.”
“Fair,” Trevy chuckled, feigning calm. “I suppose the question now becomes whether or not you can trust me.”
“It’s a safe gamble.” Terris made a mental calculation. It would take her between thirty and fifty seconds to kill Captain Trevy, take the bridge, and vent the ship. That was a very safe gamble. “Besides, that’s what a peace treaty is.” Trevy looked confused. “A leap of faith. You trust your enemy to back their word, and you trust them to trust you as well. If we can’t get along here, can’t put aside our differences to work toward a common goal, then the Alliance will be right. And I hate it when they’re right.”
“I’m speaking to you now because I know they are wrong.” That came as no surprise to either of them. “You know, I was once a foreman of a labor crew in the munitions factories. The most productive unit in my sector.” That one did come as a surprise. “As a foreman, you get leeway to make certain decisions regarding the… well, I suppose they are slaves, under your command. Food intake and the like.” Captain Trevy looked pained when he brought up such memories. Terris wasn’t convinced that was how he really felt. “They use it to weed out any potential xeno sympathizers from the populace. Of course, at the time, I wasn’t so empathetic.”
“So you were a slave driver, and you beat your slaves to make them work. I hope every one of those shells was sabotaged.” Terris’ voice dripped with disdain. She had almost forgotten the Alliance captain was her enemy.
“No, I showed mercy,” Trevy defended himself. “I was generous.” This made Terris reconsider. Perhaps Senar Trevy could be an ally, if not a friend. “I won’t say I was a good man, but I wasn’t cruel. I was practical. Strong, healthy, well-treated workers are more productive than the beaten sacks of flesh in the other factories. My crew’s output was unmatched.”
“And?” Terris cocked her head inquisitively. For a high-ranking officer in the space navy of a genocidal regime, Senar Trevy really did not seem so bad. To be fair, however, she had set the bar pretty low.
“I was investigated for anti-human activity.” Terris could have predicted that. She almost did, too. “They sent me to the fleet, and my labor crew was reacquainted with the energy whips and pain beams.” There was no carrot for an Alliance labor slave. Only the stick. “Their productivity fell thirty percent in the first two weeks alone.” He sounded almost mournful as he said that. He was not lamenting the loss in productivity.
“You see,” said Trevy, “Hatred is not natural. It has to be caused, sustained, nurtured from the day a man is born until the day he dies.” With that, at least, Terris agreed. “And, as you’re about to see, a nation built around cruelty or prejudice cannot sustain itself. It will have to apply pressure to maintain its flawed status quo, like it did with me, and the pressure will build and build until it cannot build anymore.” He tapped a few buttons on the data disc in his hand. It began projecting an image of the battle for Neldia. He placed it on the bed next to Terris. “Now it’s breaking.”
“I wonder if they’ll find themselves in need of more shells.” Terris knew it wasn’t just shells. Every time a slave driver prioritized hatred over hard work, put cruelty over their quota, or even just bowed their head and obeyed the traditional dogma, they hurt the Alliance. Across nine worlds, with billions of slaves not working as they could have, things started to add up. “You know, for a superior species, your fleet is really getting its ass kicked right now. Might want to work on that.”
Captain Trevy nodded. His data disc beeped. He was needed on the bridge. “Agreed,” he said. “I hope this war ends soon, and to our mutual benefit. I’d hate to face you on the battlefield.” He picked up the data disc and turned to leave.
“Oh, forgot to mention, there’s a virus embedded in the transmissions you’ve received. Self-replicating. Nasty piece of work.” Terris shifted a bit in her seat. “Almost forgot about that.”
“Well, better to know now than when it’s activated,” Trevy smiled. “I’ll have Technology Officer Galdir investigate it.” With that, he left. His duty to the Alliance was nonexistent, but the men and women under his command still needed him. He had waited too long in the stateroom.
Terris, with nothing better to do, got to work on cracking the encryption in the transmissions she had copied. She failed. A transmission from deep in unknown space, sent from a dreadnought at the head of a task force known only as the Deep Expedition Fleet, was the only message she could read. Its contents, while troubling, mattered little at the moment. What was far more crucial, however, was the message Terris could not decipher. The military battle plan of Janus Ora’s personal armada.
The battle plan that, when analyzed on a Republic starship, would reveal its terrible secret too late.
The Coalition fleet was walking into a trap.

Hi, I am looking for some/any ideas, or advice. Any help is welcome and appriciated. I am a back-end Rust developer having serious issues finding any source of income and I don't know what to do anymore.
I think I have some good experience and skills, but that's only in relation to coding. For the past couple years I've worked on multiple projects with different technologies and languages, some open-source and sone closed-source. Everything "server related", as this is my passion. I didn't get anything more than knowledge from it. Now when I am out of university and need to find some income to be able to survive I struggle a lot. I've tried to make some startups, but I am terrible at everything else other than writting back-end services, so all my efforts went to waste. I also tried to join a startup, but I was the only one in the team taking it seriously, so it failed. Additionally I am unable to get a "real job" due to my mentality and anxiety.
At this point I have no idea what to do anymore, my head is out of ideas. I have no issue with learning new skills or ideas, but I don't have time for it anymore, I need to find some solution fast. There's also no issue with my motivation, or discipline. I can work multiple hours every day for years without any breaks, or days off. I also "tried" freelancing on sites like fiverr, but these are over saturated and no one ever contacted me.
Does anyone have any ideas how a back-end developer like me can find some cash to survive? Other than just getting hired in some corpo. Thanks!

Introduction
Dr. Misti Tope, principal of Classen School of Advanced Studies at Northeast High School in Oklahoma City, has been the subject of growing controversy. Allegations of fostering an environment of fear and hostility, coupled with acts of racism, homophobia, transphobia, antisemitism, and misogyny, have surfaced from students, parents, and faculty. This exposé delves into the troubling realities under her administration, providing a detailed account of her impact on the school community and the systemic issues at play.
A Climate of Fear and Hostility
Since Dr. Tope assumed her role, there has been a marked increase in complaints from all corners of the school community. Parents have resorted to organizing private meetups to discuss their grievances, underscoring the pervasive fear and dissatisfaction. Students, feeling unheard and marginalized, have taken to creating petitions such as the "Say Nope to Tope" campaign, highlighting their desire for change.
Aligning with Controversial Views
Dr. Tope's public statements indicate her intent to align the school's educational environment with the views of Ryan Walters, the Oklahoma Secretary of Education known for his conservative and often controversial stance on various social issues. This alignment has raised alarms among many, especially as Walters' views are seen as divisive and not conducive to an inclusive educational setting.
Discrimination and Intimidation
Firing of Teachers
One of the most troubling aspects of Dr. Tope’s tenure is her treatment of teachers of color and LGBTQ+ faculty. She has systematically fired or forced out several teachers of color under dubious circumstances. Notably, Mx. Mustain, a trans teacher nearing tenure, was dismissed without just cause. These actions suggest a deliberate effort to purge the school of diversity and suppress any dissenting voices within the faculty.
Threats Against Female Students
Dr. Tope has also exhibited a disturbing pattern of intimidating female students who report predatory behavior by faculty members. Furthermore, she disbanded an after-school club formed to offer support to students over a broad range of topics, including predatory behavior - threatening to disband any group that seeks to protect itself from predatory teachers. One student reported receiving a threatening call from a private number, during which Dr. Tope did not identify herself but implied severe consequences if the student continued their advocacy. Dr. Tope later admitted to making this call when confronted and it was allegedly condoned by the Oklahoma City Public School District administration per Dr. Tope.
Inappropriate Physical Conduct
Dr. Tope’s misconduct extends to physical interactions with students. She has been accused of groping students during dress code checks, making derogatory comments about their bodies regardless of any actual dress code violations. Her actions have been described as not only invasive but also profoundly inappropriate, contributing to a culture of discomfort and fear among female students.
Racism and Antisemitism
Targeting Black Students
Dr. Tope's administration has been particularly hostile towards black students. She has attempted to disband the Black Student Union (BSU) multiple times and has made openly racist remarks. She has referred to black students as "rats and roaches" and suggested that they are incapable of learning, likening them to goldfish with limited memory. These comments have exacerbated racial tensions and marginalized black students, making them feel unwelcome and undervalued in their own school.
Holocaust Denial
Dr. Tope’s antisemitic views are equally alarming. She is an active Holocaust denier and has disrupted educational programs about the Holocaust. A notable incident involved her removing the son of a Holocaust survivor from the stage during a presentation. By shutting down these important conversations, Dr. Tope undermines educational efforts to teach tolerance and historical accuracy.
Behavior of Dr. Tope’s Son
Dr. Tope’s son, also a student at the school, has contributed to the hostile environment. He is known for carving swastikas and other Nazi imagery around the school and making antisemitic, homophobic, transphobic, and racist remarks. Despite this behavior, Dr. Tope dismisses it, blaming it falsely on influences from anime, and allows her son to skip classes and roam the school freely.
Transphobia and Misogyny Discriminatory Policies
Transgender students have faced severe discrimination under Dr. Tope’s leadership. She has enforced policies that force transgender students to use restrooms corresponding to their biological gender and dress according to their biological gender. Additionally, she has relocated the gender-neutral restroom several times to make it less accessible, further marginalizing these students.
Double Standards
The treatment of male and female students reveals a disturbing double standard. Male students who have exposed themselves to female students have received minimal punishment, such as detention, while female students reporting these incidents are dismissed as "overemotional" and "dramatic." This disparity not only perpetuates a culture of misogyny but also discourages female students from coming forward with legitimate concerns.
Investigation and Student Perception
Before the publication of this exposé, the Oklahoma City Public Schools (OKCPS) conducted a comprehensive investigation into Dr. Tope's leadership at Classen School of Advanced Studies. This investigation included an anonymous parent survey aimed at assessing Dr. Tope's effectiveness and the level of trust she commands within the school community. Despite Dr. Tope's public efforts to cultivate a friendly rapport with black students (mere hours before the survey was made public), her actions were met with skepticism and rejection by the student body.
Statistical Context
To understand the broader implications of Dr. Tope's actions, it is essential to consider national and state statistics on the issues at hand. According to the 2021 Youth Risk Behavior Survey by the CDC, 36.3% of LGBTQ+ students reported being bullied on school property, and 18.4% experienced physical dating violence. The ADL reported a 34% increase in antisemitic incidents in schools across the U.S. from 2018 to 2021. In Oklahoma, these issues are equally pressing, with numerous reports of discriminatory incidents in schools across the state, highlighting the urgent need for inclusive and supportive educational environments.
Impact of Discrimination on Academic Performance and Mental Health
Extensive research underscores the profound impact of discrimination on academic performance and mental health among high school students. Studies published by the American Psychological Association reveal that experiences of homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, racism, and antisemitism significantly impede academic achievement among adolescents in grades 9 through 12. Moreover, these discriminatory experiences are strongly associated with increased levels of stress, anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation among affected youth.
For instance, a study published in the Journal of Adolescent Health found that LGBTQ+ students who experienced high levels of victimization based on their sexual orientation or gender identity were more likely to report lower grades and higher rates of absenteeism compared to their heterosexual and cisgender peers. Similarly, research conducted by the National Association of School Psychologists indicates that exposure to racial discrimination contributes to elevated levels of psychological distress and impaired academic functioning among students of color.
Inclusivity Across Demographics
It is imperative to acknowledge the intersectionality of discrimination and its differential impacts across various demographic groups. According to data from the U.S. Department of Education's Civil Rights Data Collection, students from marginalized racial and ethnic backgrounds, including Asians, Hispanics, Blacks, and Native Americans, often face disparities in educational opportunities and outcomes due to systemic inequities. Additionally, transgender and LGBTQIA+ students frequently encounter hostile school environments characterized by harassment, bullying, and exclusion, which detrimentally affect their academic engagement and well-being.
Research in the field of developmental psychology emphasizes the importance of creating inclusive and affirming school climates that validate students' diverse identities and lived experiences. Positive school environments that foster a sense of belonging and acceptance have been shown to promote academic success, psychological resilience, and social-emotional well-being among students from marginalized groups. By prioritizing equity, diversity, and inclusion initiatives, educational institutions can cultivate a culture of mutual respect and support that benefits all members of the school community.
Support Resources
In light of the mental health challenges exacerbated by discrimination and prejudice, it is crucial to provide accessible resources and interventions to support students in distress. School-based mental health services, such as counseling, therapy, and peer support groups, play a vital role in addressing the emotional needs of students experiencing discrimination-related stressors. Additionally, community-based organizations and advocacy groups offer valuable resources, helplines, and crisis intervention services tailored to the specific needs of LGBTQ+ youth, racial/ethnic minority students, and other marginalized populations.
Empowering students to advocate for systemic change and social justice within their schools can also promote resilience and collective empowerment. Educational initiatives that promote diversity education, cultural competence, and inclusive curriculum development contribute to creating equitable learning environments that affirm students' identities and promote social equity.
By integrating evidence-based practices, trauma-informed approaches, and culturally responsive strategies into school-based interventions, educators and mental health professionals can address the multifaceted needs of students affected by discrimination and promote positive youth development outcomes. Through collaborative efforts and sustained commitment to equity and social justice, educational stakeholders can work together to dismantle systemic barriers and create inclusive communities where all students can thrive academically, emotionally, and socially.
Student and Parent Mobilization
The dissatisfaction with Dr. Tope's administration has reached a critical point. Students recently cornered Dr. Tope in her office, an act indicative of their desperation and frustration. A planned walkout threatened to escalate into violence, with rumors of a possible attack on Dr. Tope’s son. Parents and students are organizing and mobilizing independently, indicating a breakdown of trust in the school’s administration.
Administrative and Legal Failures
The response from school resource officers and local police has been inconsistent and troubling. When contacted, the OKCPD and OKCPS Resource Officers provided conflicting accounts of the incidents, revealing a lack of proper communication and coordination. The mishandling of serious allegations internally by the school administration points to deeper systemic issues and raises questions about accountability and transparency.
Conclusion
Dr. Misti Tope’s leadership has led to a toxic environment at Classen School of Advanced Studies. Her discriminatory practices and intimidation tactics have harmed students and faculty, creating an atmosphere of fear and hostility. As parents and students mobilize for change, it is clear that Dr. Tope’s tenure is untenable. For the future of Classen and the well-being of its community, it is imperative that these issues are addressed and resolved promptly. The school needs a leader who fosters inclusivity, respect, and safety for all its members.

With the recent changes to receiving Comp points, 10+ for a win, 5+ for a draw and 0 for a loss, but with the additional 3 progress points for a win and 1 for a draw or loss, makes on a win 20 competitive points, a draw 8.3 Comp points and a lose 3.3 comp points, which means you have to win 150 games for a Comp Weapon.
In S8 and before it was 25 points for a win. and 10 for a draw. Which makes a Comp Weapon 120 wins. or what I did, Win 16 games, getting 400 comp points a season and getting the end of season reward for gold was 600, giving me 1000 comp points for 16 wins, which was about 30 comp games a season. now I need to play like 100 games to get 1000 Comp points. as you ain't going to win every game.
I'm a very casual player but I like the gold weapons, in S1 and before I was happy playing 30 comp games and getting a gold gun every 3 seasons, now it's so hard to get a comp weapon, espically as they turned my S8 points into legacy points, so now I've got an unusable 2000 legacy points until next year.
Idk, maybe I'm just need to suck it up as these are "competitive" rewards, so as a casual player I should just suck it up and not buy anymore unless I just play comp.
Also if you have 29 / 30 progress points and you win a game, the next progress points are back to 0 and don't start with 2, so like why even try to win at that point. if you're getting the 100 extra points anyway.
Again, I play Comp for the cosmetics and not a rank, I'm a consistent Gold on all roles, I don't mind losing, as it makes the games easier for me. and with the new system atleast i get some points for losing, but I just don't have the time to play all this competitive. In season 1 to 8 I played a max of 6 hours a season in Comp, now I'm playing like 40 hours.

HOSTS
Xiao Shuang: Ex-OWL commentator, Community Manager for the 2023 OWWC Team From China; she's also been doing a series of one-on-one interviews with the ex-Spark members in the meantime, including the trip to an adult expo with Guxue.
Mu Zi: Ex-OWL caster
(Note: I skipped a bunch of the chatter from the hosts since I'm a bit lazy; sorry! A lot of respect for the old Chinese OWL crew.)
Interviews were done in small groups (seemingly by room assignment):
SHY & MONK
Mmonk: Hello hello, I'm Mmonk from...(pause)OA.
Shy: Hello everybody, I'm Shy from............um. Shy. From OA.
Host XS: You've been streaming full time for a long while now; how does it feel to return to pro play? Has it been a smooth transition?
Shy: It's been a little difficult to adjust. Playing OW professionally again, I feel like my attitude towards the game is a bit different.
Mmonk: About the same.
Host XS: (laughing) You have such a talent for interviews. (Mmonk's post-game interview answers during OWL were notoriously brief and awkward.).
Host MZ: How well would you say you've shaken off the rust?
Shy: We're returning...we've scrimmed for a few days, and I feel like we've been improving day by day. (Note: Leave leaked a screen a few days back showing something like a 1-11 record in custom games).
Host MZ: What about Mmonk?
Mmonk: (ducking away from the mic) Um, we're maybe back to 50%.
Host MZ: Okay, what about a simpler question. Now that you're back, have you guys set a goal for yourselves?
Shy: Umm...I'm not setting a big ambitious goal, I don't want to jinx us. I think I'm just trying to focus on succeeding in head-to-heads.
Mmonk: I think just beating the top two teams once. (I think that's what he meant? Otherwise it sounds like he's saying just playing the top two teams, which seems TOO unambitious).
Host XS: Have you missed the feeling of being back in a training environment?
Shy: Honestly, it's been a tiny bit hard to get used to it again. At home, I can start playing as soon as I sleep...(pauses, visibly rewinds) I mean, I can start playing as soon as I wake, then sleep when I'm done playing. Here, the schedule is very rigid. It's a bit nostalgic, makes me think of my school days.
Mmonk: I really missed this kind of lifestyle. Being a full-time streamer for me is torture.
Host XS: (Laughing) Okay okay, last question. You have a new coach now, it's your first time working with Rush. How has it felt working with him over the past few days?
Shy: He's awesome. Just wait till you see the results.
Mmonk: Rush is a very serious person. He'll point out any flaws.
LENGSA (with truly impressive bedhead)
Host XS: How does it feel? Now that you're back to communal living, do you have to keep ordering takeout? (Note: Lengsa revealed in the past that he's accomplished at ordering super super cheap takeout, it's become a bit of a meme in CNOW circles).
Lengsa: The good thing about communal living is that I don't have to get takeout! I can go out with the others for meals and eat a bit more.
Host MZ: So how does it feel for you to go from full-time streaming back to the lifestyle of a professional player?
Lengsa: It feels like freedom.
Host XS: How does it feel to work with a mixture of old and new staff? Have you gotten used to having a new coach yet?
Lengsa: Um...(strokes chin) I share a room with the new coach, so we're still getting used to each other.
Hosts: You share a room??
Lengsa: Yep.
Host XS: Is it easy to communicate?
Lengsa: We give our translation apps a good workout.
Host XS: I remember when we were talking last time over dinner, I asked how you guys were doing, and you said you couldn't even beat the last place Korean team. Now that you've had a few days of training under your belt, do you feel like you're getting back in the groove?
Lengsa: Now we're playing the top few teams.
Hosts: Oooohhh.
Host XS: Okay, let's do a quick pop quiz. Please introduce yourself.
Lengsa: Hi everyone, I'm Lengsa from Hang--Team OA.
Host MZ: Three players, and not a single one has gotten that out smoothly.
CREED
Creed: Hi everyone, I'm Creed.
Host XS: Creed from...?
Creed: Uh, I'm...(thinking) Creed from Team OA.
Hosts: (Laughing) Not a single one.
Host MZ: We're very happy to see you back. How do you feel about the team? Now that you're back, have things changed at all?
Creed: I don't think so. Feels like it did during the HZ Spark playoffs.
Host MZ: So what are your hopes for this new team?
Creed: Hopes? To make another run, I guess.
Host XS: You received an invitation to join this team. How did you feel when the invite came?
Creed: "Finally!"
Host MZ: The players haven't played professionally in a really long time. As a coach, how do you feel like you can help them?
Creed: I think just scrimming as usual is sufficient. We've been scrimming the past few days and I feel like they're recovering pretty well.
Host XS: My last question is about how you feel. I know that you must have felt regret that you couldn't be with the team during the last OW World Cup. Now that you've returned, do you feel like it's a chance to make up for that regret?
Creed: Well, about the World Cup, you know I had COVID at the time. And honestly, after the playoffs, I was very tired and needed some rest. But after resting I did regret that I wasn't able to go with them. This time I feel like I need to grab every opportunity.
Creed: I'm especially thankful to Yaoxie. Rush and I were both recommended by Yaoxie. Originally it was supposed to be the three of us coaching, but he couldn't make it here for personal reasons. I hope that once he takes care of those issues he can join us. If he has the time, he's gotta come! I miss him, I want to keep working with him.
RUSH
Rush: Ni hao. (waves)
Host XS: We've gathered a lot of questions from the fans and chosen a few of them to ask Coach Rush.
Host MZ: First question -- as your first time coming to China and coaching a full Chinese team, how did you feel when you received the invitation?
Rush: This actually isn't the first time I've coached a full Chinese team. (Rush used to coach Team 1246) Because I've already had that experience, this hasn't been that much of a change. The players are also all players I'm very familiar with. Because the players are all very good, I'm also very happy and content.
Host XS: My question is about something behind-the-scenes--when Coach Rush joined our first meeting, Guxue asked if you could bring some ramen over from Korea. May I ask Coach Rush if you can show us what types of ramen you brought?
Rush: I really brought a big trunk of ramen and snacks over from Korea! I asked what kinds of ramen they didn't have in China and I brought a lot over. Mainly turkey ramen.
Host MZ: Here's my next question for Rush. There are a lot of strong teams in the Asia region, and among them there are a lot of your old opponents like Moon and Crusty. Do you feel a lot of pressure facing them?
Rush: Since Overwatch isn't a game that sees a lot of changes even if you've set it aside for awhile, that's not a huge problem. Because we still have a good amount of time, if we start training really hard now, I feel like we can win, whether it's against Team Falcons or Crazy Raccoon.
Host XS: Moon said recently that he really wished he could have coached 2023's Team China. That said, it's Coach Rush who's getting that chance. Do you have anything you want to say to Coach Moon?
Rush: Um...not really. Coach Moon was in China for a long time, and it's natural that he'd want to try different things. I've also coached overseas and worked with players of other nationalities before. New challenges are always enjoyable. I'm sure if he has a chance he'll also work with other Chinese teams and players. If we face each other again with all-new teams that'll probably be fun. Coach Moon is currently with Korean players on a Japanese team, which might seem a bit odd, but if we meet, we'll still take them down no problem.
Host XS: Anything else you want to say to your fans?
Rush: When I came to China last time, not a lot of people knew about me, and I probably didn't have any fans. Now people probably know me a little bit, and I might have some fans? I'd like to say to them: thank you for your support, and please keep supporting our team. We'll work hard to bring you good news and good results.
LEAVE & GUXUE
Leave: (Starts laughing before the interview even starts and sets the others off)
Host XS: What are you laughing about?? Since you're laughing, I need to test you--please introduce yourself.
Leave: Wait, wait. Hi everyone, I'm Leave.
Host XS: Leave from...?
Leave: I'm Leave from Hang--OA.
Hosts: (Laughing) Xu Qiulin, your turn. (Xu Qiulin = Guxue's real name).
Guxue: Hi everyone, I'm Guxue from OA.
Host MZ: This guy came prepared. Not like this other guy.
Host XS: Going from being a streamer to being a professional player again, how have you dealt with this sudden change in status? Has it been an easy transition? What's been the most difficult adjustment?
Leave: The in-game part's been pretty good. If I needed to choose something that was difficult to adjust to, I'd say it's the lifestyle and sleep schedule. Because we have two-person rooms...yep, this is my roommate, let me introduce him (points to Guxue), we sleep in the same room. Everyone's sleep schedule and habits and whether or not they snore are very different.
Hosts + Guxue: (Laughing, since Guxue & Leave have been playing up an adversarial relationship on stream the past few months.)
Host MZ: Leave, are you satisfied with your current roommate?
Leave: Pretty good, not bad (laughs)
Host MZ: Guxue, what about you? How do you feel, going back to communal living?
Guxue: I think I've adjusted pretty well. Being a full-time streamer the last half year, it was too lonely. It feels nice to return to living with everyone.
Host MZ: Okay, then I also have to ask, are you satisfied with your current roommate?
Guxue: (Pause) I think my current roommate is pretty okay.
Host MZ: Very direct! No hesitation.
Host XS: I also want to ask the question that I think everyone is most concerned about--how's training going? How much of your full strength do you think you've recovered?
Leave: 30%, probably.
Host MZ: That's very conservative.
Leave: Is it conservative?
Host MZ: I don't know
Leave: Have you watched our scrim VODs? (Recently some OA scrim codes were reported to have leaked.).
Host MZ: I haven't! How would I? I just think you're being modest.
Guxue: If you sub to my stream I'll show you one.
Host MZ: No no no no no. So what about you? What percentage of your strength do you think you've recovered?
Guxue: I think I'm doing pretty well. Even though I'm just streaming, I've been constantly prepping while streaming. I've played over a thousand games in ranked per season to keep ready.
Host XS: Now that there are competitions on the horizon, what kind of goals are you setting for yourself?
Leave: A 5-5 win rate against Team Falcons, and a 4-6 win rate against Crazy Raccoons. I think that would be pretty decent.
Host XS: Who's 4 and who's 6?
Leave: Guess.
Host MZ: For Guxue, since you play the tank position, and we know that tanks have seen a lot of changes recently, now that you're back on a team, have you set any goals for your team or for yourself?
Guxue: Currently the tank situation isn't too bad. In a couple of days there'll be some big tank changes, so I don't know how it'll be then. (This was probably recorded last week).
Host MZ: Now that we've talked a bit about yourselves, you have a new coach for this team. We've heard what your teammates have said about him. What about you guys? How are you getting along?
Guxue: As of right now, we've been training together for two or three days and have scrimmed five or six times. Starting from the first day, when we did...pretty tragically, we've improved a lot over the past couple of days and I think Rush has been a big help to us.
Host XS: What about Leave?
Leave: I always thought Rush was rather shy. That's not the case. If he sees something to improve on, he'll point it out straight away. He'll call you out. He's called me out, yeah. The very first day he arrived. And then he called me out again today. It's very scary.
Host MZ: You think the callouts are helpful to you?
Leave: Yes, but he's very direct. He'll come straight out with it.
Host XS: Finally, do you have anything you want to say to your fans?
Leave: We still want to thank everyone for the huge support you've always given us. Rush will take us on one more run.
Guxue: Even though I've started training again which means I'll be streaming less, everyone remember to re-up your subs! Don't stop subbing.
Leave: Me too me too.

IGS Rep Page: https://www.reddit.com/IGSRep/comments/ti26nz/mizznos_igs_rep_page/

Hello everyone,
I am currently working as an Event Project Manager in the marketing team. I handle online events and all the marketing activities for them, coordinating the entire marketing team (content, tech, email, SMM, etc.). Previously, I worked as a Marketing Manager, but I transitioned to events because I enjoyed that aspect of my role. As it was my first job after graduating, I wasn’t sure how to pivot from a marketing manager position, so I moved into the event space within the marketing team.
I have been in this role for two years now and have transitioned into more of a PM/Marketing Coordinator role, doing a lot of marketing tasks myself, particularly working with LinkedIn automation and emails. However, I don’t see much room for growth in this sphere anymore, and the financial rewards are not very satisfying.
I am considering a switch to project management and have completed several courses. However, I am also thinking about pursuing a more analytical role like Product Manager. I’m interested in Product Marketing as a stepping stone to Product Management since it combines marketing, management, and analytics.
I am unsure of my next steps and where I should pivot. I don’t want to go deep into performance marketing (SEO, PPC, etc.), but I want something PM-related. Given my marketing background, Product ManageMarketing seems like a suitable role for me.
I have also considered becoming an Account Manager, as it involves project management but with internal clients. However, I find myself leaning more toward analytical roles.
For context, I have a BS in Business Administration. I don’t know any coding, and my math and STEM skills are limited, so roles like Data Analyst or Product Analyst are not realistic for me at this point.
I would appreciate any advice or suggestions. I am eager to learn more technical skills that might be useful for roles like Marketing Analyst or PM/PMM (e.g., SQL, A/B testing, Tableau), but I am still unsure where to start.
Are there people with similar backgrounds who started in Events/Marketing and transitioned to more IT-related positions with better pay and growth prospects? Your insights would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
