Ratan Tata

Indian business tycoon who turned his family’s Tata Group into a global player, and invested heavily in British industry

Ratan Tata, who has died aged 86, was India’s most celebrated industrialist. He modernised the unwieldy business empire founded by his great grandfather in the 19th century and internationalised it. In the process he spread his interests into western countries, with mixed results.

For the UK, that included the £271m purchase of the Tetley Group in 2000, followed more controversially by the acquisition of the steel company Corus for £6.2bn in 2007. Then, in 2008, Tata, himself a car enthusiast, added the troubled Jaguar Land Rover motor business for a further £1.75bn.

He joined the family firm, Tata Steel, in 1962. Educated in the US, and newly qualified as an architect, the young Tata had, he said, no intention of returning to India. But family ties won out. When his ailing grandmother, Navajbai, who had raised him, asked him to return he did so. He was soon promoted, building his reputation with tough reorganisation, followed by more troubleshooting at the electronics and textile companies.

In 1981, he was made chairman of Tata Industries, and found himself confronting an assortment of separate businesses, with different ownership patterns over which there was little formal control. He made a blueprint for reorganisation, having spent time at the Harvard Business School, but it was rejected after opposition from semi-autonomous bosses.

However, in 1991, the 81-year-old patriarch of the group, JRD Tata, chose him as his successor as the overall chairman. Asked why, he replied: “He has a modern mind.”

Tata soon demonstrated it with a tough programme of reshaping that, against continuing opposition, brought closures, job reductions, and the departure of the heads of the steel, hotel and chemical businesses.

He began to focus more on brands and less on heavy industry, and he benefited from the deregulation of Indian industry championed by Rajiv Gandhi. As part of it, he took the company more heavily into the motor industry. Tata lorries already dominated Indian highways, but now he moved into the car business in line with his own enthusiasms. While always seen as a man of modest habits, he had his own lovingly maintained collection of high-powered and classic cars, and delighted in driving them along Mumbai’s Marine Drive most Sundays.

Tata produced what was called “the first Indian car”, designed by and for Indians, in 1998. Ratan did some of the first drawings himself. The Tata Indica was a success. But when he went further a decade later, and the company conceived the Nano, a tiny saloon described as the world’s most affordable car at a price of about £2,000, the project failed. Such a cheap car was not enticing even to those “on two wheels” whom he hoped to attract.

In 1999 Tata had travelled to Detroit to discuss the sale of the motor business to Ford, only to be asked why his firm had gone into the passenger car business when it clearly knew nothing about it. Later he would turn the tables, buying underperforming Jaguar Land Rover from Ford and reviving it.

With sell-offs and cutbacks, Tata reorganised the group into 98 operating companies from more than 250, reducing the labour force by more than a third. He forged alliances with foreign companies and went into information technology.

He stepped down in 2012, observing the compulsory retirement rule he had himself introduced, but was still regarded as “chairman emeritus” and was brought back unhappily for a few months when his successor was sacked four years later.

His most shocking day came in 2008, when terrorists took over the Tatas’ Taj Mahal hotel on the front at Mumbai with great loss of life. The company has continued to support staff affected and the families of those who died.

Ratan was born in Mumbai, into the large Parsi Tata family, whose wealth came from a scattered collection of businesses including textiles, hotels, engineering, steel and tea. His father, Naval, had been adopted by the son of the founder, Jamsetji Tata. After Naval and his wife, Soonoo, separated when Ratan was seven, the child was brought up with his younger brother, Jimmy, by his grandmother in a grand Tata mansion in central Mumbai.

Aged 17 he was sent to the US to attend Riverdale Country school in New York City, from where he entered Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. He studied engineering before switching to architecture, graduating in 1959. He worked as an architect for a while in Los Angeles before returning to India, and Tata Steel.

In his 20 years at the helm, Tata’s sales grew by 22% annually and its international revenues rose from a quarter to 58% of the total, while Tata Consultancy Services became Asia’s largest software company.

His British investments have been among his less successful. Corus was bought for an over-the-top £6bn just before the global financial crash devastated the industry. Tata claimed it as “the first big step that Indian industry has taken as a global player”. It was later described by a senior Tata executive as “worthless”. The firm is currently negotiating terms of new investment at Port Talbot, which would be accompanied by hundreds of redundancies, while huge plants on Teesside and Scunthorpe have already been closed or sold for a nominal sum.

Jaguar Land Rover was initially a happier story. Tata’s major investment, including in research and development, made the company for a while the largest foreign investor in British industry. But eight years of profits have been followed by losses since 2018.

Surveying the British scene in 2011, Tata told the Times: “Nobody seems to want to exert the effort to make the UK truly competitive. It’s a work ethic issue. In my experience in both Corus and JLR, nobody is willing to go the extra mile.”

He was a major figure in the international business community, close to US politicians as well as the Indian government, advising the former prime ministers Gordon Brown and David Cameron, and sitting on the boards of multinational institutions.

He was also known as a major philanthropist. Many of the Tata companies were owned through trusts he chaired, and huge sums were provided for medical research and university projects both in India and abroad, particularly in the US, where a number of campuses have buildings bearing his name.

A softly spoken man, renowned for his courtesy, he never married, although he described himself as having come close four times. He was known for living modestly, although his recreations included flying his private jet and driving his collection of expensive cars, as well as a speedboat. He was noted for his love of dogs. The Tata headquarters in Mumbai had kennels and made provision for street dogs, and he was a donor to canine charities. In 2014 he was made GBE.

He is survived by Jimmy, by his stepmother, Simone, a half brother, Noel, and two half sisters, Shireen and Deanna.

Review - Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector

What an amazing experience this game is.

I've had it wishlisted probably since it showed up but there it fell under my radar since its release. It may or may not have caught some sales in that time but again it went unnoticed and what an absolute crime that is. Released in 2021, it recently just came out with the T'au army which put the rest of the game and its various army packs on sale to an agreeable level, and putting it back on my radar.

Many Warhammer games usually nail the aesthetic, themes, diction, and storylines but very few capture the actual feel of playing on tabletop. There was Dawn of War which depicted swaths of armies cutting across the landscape but it was all in real time, the only methodology there was making sure your travelling teams had all the right counters to vehicles and infantry and after that you basically just let it go.

What we have here is a unique XCOM-like that may very well be the closest many of us will get to playing the actual tabletop game. We have a campaign (just one; following a Blood Raven chapter of the space marines) and two extra modes. Demonic Invasion is a wave based king of the hill type thing where you hold off for as long as you can as every round will continually spit the chaos god's minions at you. There's Planetary Supremacy, which is a sort of Catan/Risk style hex board that players of Dark Crusade or Soulstorm may be familiar with. It's the mode most of my hours have been played on. My only wish is that it could go for just a bit longer, maybe a bigger map, more enemies fighting each other, better node control.

In extension, there's also custom campaigns players can build as well as skirmishes for you to play against AI or other players. As of this writing there is no Co-op and that's quite a shame.

So there's a lot to do here. Some of the more mixed reviews, especially targetting the new armies, are complaining that there's not a super special story campaign for each and every single one of them. That is frankly not so much a problem for me, as I immediately gravitated towards the hex board game mode and just enjoyed having my hands on the Necron for the first time in many years. Now in HD with reflections! My dead bois are beautiful!

There's plenty to learn as well. Even on the easiest difficulties, the AI can route you. My Necron have units called Warriors, basically the equivalent to shotgunners. They also have the slowest movement of my army so it's difficult to get them into position and keep my general army momentum going. Sometimes they fall behind and I lack the much needed damage against enemy swarm units, and I've lost some good troops because I didn't have enough people shooting back. It's how I nearly lost against the Tyranids one game despite outnumbering them by 500 army points. Tactics very much matter here.

There's also a photo mode which is a bit fickle. The camera is locked at certain height over the floor tile so it's difficult to get sweeping, heroic visions of your armies from foot-level. You're more or less stuck staring at them from head-on. It's fun to play around with, though.

So while there is a campaign (just the one), this game could be treated more like a sandbox than anything else. I'm told from the game's discord they plan on releasing free units over the coming months. This is good, because that's one of my chief complaints about the game. There's a significant lack of versatile units to play with. Each faction gets around a dozen to fifteen to allocate with your army point cap (another staple of Tabletop that most games don't quite capture), with Khorne getting the shortest end of the stick (and the cheapest DLC) whom only have eight units to choose from. There's a significant lack of Kroot and vehicles here, and foot troops seem to be a choice between three different things. There's a lot more than that on tabletop.

Not that I expect this to be the tabletop simulator but it cuts real damn close. Closer than most games in this franchise. A must have if you like turn-based XCOM-likes.

౨ৎ not your song !

chapter three : WASTED WORDS

pairing : hueningkai x 6th member!reader  summary : tomorrow x together, or txt, wasn't always six members, and for some unforeseen reason, it wouldn't stay six either.  set in : late 2019 word count : 1.1k

prev / next / masterlist

a few months after txt’s ‘legendary’ debut, it was clear (y/n) wasn’t going anywhere anytime soon. she practiced regularly with yeonjun, gossiped with beomgyu, baked with taehyun, and even spoke with soobin about possible future songs.

she had dug her roots, as poisonous as kai believed them to be, into their lives, and for some reason the teen boy could not wrap his head around, they were flourishing.

album sales were through the roof, article after article was written about the group, and even non-stans new their names - all thanks to her.

to kai, it was disgusting; of course they focused on some random girl and not actual talent, like himself. but he knew being bitter wouldn’t help anyone. he was simply allowing himself to be an angry teenage boy, upset over a girl who had no real control over her joining txt.

and when he walked into his dorm, only to find (y/n), tae, and gyu all passed out on tae’s bed, kai understood how much she truly did help the group.

taehyun wasn’t as shy as before, and he had a friend to constantly go to the gym with. beomgyu had calmed down (only slightly though, the others still regarded him as the most chaotic), and even opened up to the girl and showed her his art skills. yeonjun had a constant partner for any activity, (y/n) really never said no. and soobin had someone who consistently respected him, and supported him in his every choice. from what he chose to wear that day to decisions that involved the group, (y/n) stood behind him one hundred percent.

she was like the groups angel, yet kai was painting her like the devil.

of course, she attempted to befriend kai in the same ways she had with the other four boys except for some reason he would lock her out every time.

the two were close in age, both ’02 liners, and even liked similar things. (y/n) had her own small collection of plushies, and gushed over marine animals in the same way kai did. both watched the same shows, and found comfort in similar music. they were the perfect match, but kai for some reason wouldn’t except it.

yet, when he found her passed out next to his friends, his final wall came crashing down and he knew he had to let her in.

“(y/n),” he softly called out, scared to wake the others. it was late, and being asleep in the same bed as two other boys was not exactly the best look for the girl, even if kai knew the relationships were purely platonic. “you have to wake up.”

she didn’t move.

“(y/n),” he called out again, placing a hand gently on her shoulder. “it’s time to go back to your dorm.”

kai watched with amusement as she woke, confusion dancing around her eyes as she took in her surroundings.

“i fell asleep?” she questioned, turning and looking at the two boys passed out behind her, and then to the computer that surprisingly hadn’t turned off or died.

“i think so.” kai shrugged, moving his plushie collection out of the way and sitting down on his bed. “i came in and found you like that.”

“oh,” she mumbled, sitting up and stretching. “what time is it?”

“late, i’d bet you’re in for a rough morning.” he teased, smiling slightly.

(y/n) paused, eyes scanning the boys face. “you’re smiling.” she commented, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

kai laughed, shaking his head. “are you delirious?” he teased, “i always smile.”

“i’m not delirious, just cold- and you never smile at me.”

his smile fell at that.

“here, uh, take my hoodie.” he mumbled, grabbing the nearest hoodie he could find and handing it to the girl. “and i’m sorry, for being so indifferent to you.”

she nodded slightly, “it’s okay, huening. i sort of ruined everything you had going, i’d be upset too.” she gratefully took the hoodie, slipping it on and smiling at the boy.

kai felt his heart do a backflip.

“call me kai, or hyuka- just not huening, i’ve known you too long for you to still call me that. especially while you call everyone else nicknames.”

she nodded again, fully standing up from taehyuns bed. “okay, hyuka.” she mused, pulling the covers over beomgyu and taehyun, and turning off the computer. “i’ll see you tomorrow.” she added, her voice so close to a whisper kai could barely hear it.

but he nodded anyways, smiling at the girl as he watched her go.

and when she was gone, kai fell back on his bed, only to hear taehyun and beomgyu giggling like teenage girls.

“hyuka has a girlfriend.” beomgyu teased, sitting up and grinning widely. “you so love her!”

kai shot up, a look of disgust washing across his face. “me? like (y/n)? you must still be half asleep gyu.” he groaned, rolling his eyes as he watched the duo snicker between themselves.

“‘h-here, t-take my hoodie~’ you’re a lovesick puppy!” taehyun laughed, tears welling in his eyes. “it’s gonna come back and smell like her, and you’re gonna sleep with it every night!”

“i don’t sound like that!” kai gasped, standing up and moving to playfully hit the two boys.

“kai don’t hit your hyun-“ beomgyu started before receiving a slight shove to his shoulder, sending him falling backwards as taehyun laughed, only to also be shoved backwards.

“i’m not in love with her. i’ll never be in love with her. she’s just a friend.” kai explained, sitting down on his bed again and staring at the plushie.

it wasn't like soobin for him to give gifts in the way kai thought he did - it would make sense for him to treat kai like that, but not by giving him a plushie for simply surviving debut.

"hey, uh, when we got our first break, did soobin also give you guys gifts?" he asked hesitantly, staring at the two as their grins grew wider.

"no, but (y/n) did - she got everyone something that related to their favorite animal or their representative!" gyu explained, grinning like a mad man.

"you thought it was soobin!" taehyun giggled, slapping a hand over his mouth in an attempt to quiet down.

kai was shocked. for so long, he had believed it was soobin. he thought (y/n) was some monster, yet she had been trying since debut to be his friend, and he had spent so long pushing her away. he made dumb promises to stay indifferent and cold to the girl. but, he made sure that he'd never do that again, not after tonight. though he couldn't take back the wasted words he spewed whenever he was with the girl, most of the time putting her down, he could make an attempt to only lift her up in the future.

and that's what he intended to do.

IMAGES: B-1 bombers make a historic visit to Turkey

Turkish Air Force integrates with U.S. bombers on a long-planned mission.

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 11/02/2023 - 12:56in Military

Two U.S. Air Force B-1B Lancers bombers assigned to the 9º Expeditionary Bomber Squadron arrived on Tuesday (10/31) at Incirlik Air Base, Turkey, for a historic hot-pit refueling as part of the long-planned bomber task force training mission.

A hot-pit refueling refers to the tactic of refueling aircraft while the engines are still running. This marks the first time that U.S. Air Force B-1 has been replenished in this way at Incirlik Air Base. The aircraft stayed at the base for less than two hours before leaving for a training mission with the Turkish Air Force.

TAP TITLE BAR TO VIEW VIDEO ☝️

The Deputy Commander of the Wing of the 39ª Air Base, Colonel Robert Schoeneberg of the U.S. Air Force, and the Chief Command of the Wing of the 39ª Air Base, Chief Sergeant. Kevin Helms greeted the Commander of the 9º EBS, U.S. Air Force Colonel Lieutenant Ryan Stillwell, and the Sub-Commander of the 489º Bombing Group Command, U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Marshall on the flight line.

The B-1s integrated with the Turkish military, including the KC-135R Asena refuelers and the F-16 Fighting Falcons, for training missions planned well in advance to practice Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC) procedures and close air support training missions.

“Teamwork with our Turkish air force partners has demonstrated the interoperability and professionalism of NATO aviators,” Stillwell said. “Thank you to the 10ª Tank Base and 39ª Wing Team Titan Air Base for their specialized support and hospitality.”

Incirlik Air Base is one of the largest military facilities in Turkey and its strategic location makes it a center for NATO integration and the defense of NATO's southern flank.

“We are excited to support and celebrate this historic refueling operation in Incirlik,” Schoeneberg said. "This demonstrates the unique capabilities and strategic positioning of this base. In addition, it highlights for everyone that Turkey is a critical member of the NATO alliance and that Team Titan is open to business."

December 25: Wakana Activities & 「Wakana Classics 2022 ～Christmas Special～」

Note: Okay, I know this is long overdue but I have simply not found the time and motivation to write up a detailed report ever since coming back from Japan. The trip itself was quite exhausting due to a busy schedule and being sick for almost the entire duration of my stay T_T. Then I made the huge mistake of going straight back to work on the 27th so I have just felt utterly drained for the past few weeks. It’s a huge shame because I really didn’t want to wait this long to write down my impressions. I mean, it’s hardly a “first impression” anymore if my thoughts have been marinating in my brain for nearly a month. But hey, better late than never, right? If anyone is interested, here’s a link to my December 17 report. I am definitely planning to write reports of some of my other activities but who knows how long that’s gonna take. Please don’t hold your breath. Without further ado, let’s get to it 〈(•ˇ‿ˇ•)-→

Before the Live

In the morning I went to visit Koishikawa Korakuen with a fellow Kalafina fan (Akuma from Taiwan in case some of you know her). I had already spent all of Saturday doing various Wakana activities with her so it only seemed fitting that we would dedicate the morning of the 25th to a lovely Wakana activity as well. Wakana visited this gorgeous landscape garden back in April 2022 (Source:Wakana Instagram). Koishikawa Korakuen (小石川後楽園) is actually one of Tokyo's oldest and best Japanese gardens so I was excited to check it out. While the late winter scenery is probably the least spectacular, I can still recommend going there if you are ever in Tokyo and want an escape from the hectic city life. It was a gorgeous, sunny day so I got to take some lovely pictures and thankfully, some of the autumn colours still remained. After spending a couple of hours there and basking in the winter sun, I got a little antsy so we decided to head to the venue. In the past, most fans would try to arrive as early as possible to line up for the merch sale. However, lots of things have changed since the pandemic so venues actually discourage people from lining up early in advance. Despite knowing that we wouldn’t be allowed to line up yet, I still wanted to know the venue’s exact location and check whether anyone had arrived yet. When we finally got there, no one was there except us and the door staff told us to come back in two hours XD It was super hard to find a café or restaurant near Kioi Hall so we had to walk all the way back to Yotsuya Station. I felt really sorry for Akuma because I dragged her back and forth, she must have been so exhausted. Guess I can’t help but be one of those annoying people who are low-key control freaks and who won’t leave anything to chance. I’d rather be 2 hours early than even 1 second too late. Anyways, at a tiny shopping mall, we found a small café and had some cake and coffee. We went back to the venue once we saw the first few tweets of other fans starting to line up. Most people got there around the same time so it quickly became quite crowded in front of the venue about 45 minutes before the live. I am glad we ended up being pretty far ahead in the line because I don’t think the people in the back had enough time left to buy anything. It took quite a while for staff members to check our tickets and temperature. Everyone was also taking their sweet time deciding on what merch to get so there were literally only a few minutes left till the live once I had bought everything (I got the shirt/pamphlet set with the postcard, the pink gloves, the little drawstring bag and the keyholder). All items are still available in Wakana’s Official Online Shop so be sure to get them.  

General Impressions

Venue: This was my first time at Kioi Hall. It’s located in a nice area near Yotsuya Station. Venue, You have to walk around 10 minutes on Sophia Dori which is a lovely thoroughfare. I hear it’s super pretty during cherry blossom season. After Opera City, this was only my second time in a classical hall in Japan. Not as big as Opera City Hall but equally impressive in terms of acoustics and grandeur. But oh boy, they really could have lowered the temperatures, it was boiling hot inside. I don’t know how people managed to sit there with their winter coats fom beginning to end. I was literally melting and I didn’t even wear a warm winter jacket. Kioi Hall is a rather intimate venue with a capacity of about 800 seats. None of the balcony seats were occupied iirc but we managed to fill out pretty much the entire central ground floor. So yeah, definitely not a sold-out concert but very well attended nonetheless (which obviously made me happy because I still recall her Voice tour where they had picked venues that were way too big for Wakana’s fanbase). Outfit: Her dress didn’t impress me all that much to be honest. The bold red looked lovely on her but the basic A-line was a little too plain for my taste. No lace, no embroidery, no frills, no layers, no sparkles... I am also not a big fan of straps when it comes to evening dresses. Wakana has the most beautiful shoulders, it’s a crime to not show them off. In my opinion, she should always wear something that is off-shoulder, preferably a majestic ball gown. The highlight of the dress was definitely the back (as seen on the image above). Whenever she turned around to have a little sip of her water we were blessed with the most gorgeous sight.*drools* Wakana truly has a beautiful back and it’s rare that we get to see so much of it XD. Ticket System: As you may know, I’ve had a few issues with SKIYAKI but at the end of the day I have to admit that it is an extremely convenient service. All steps were foreigner friendly and I didn’t run into any issues with the app. Still, I can’t recommend it with a clear conscience because of what happened with my credit card T_T As you know, I got a Christmas Special Fan Club ticket and I was pretty lucky with my assigned seat. Row 4, smack in the middle with a perfect view at Wakana. Thankfully no tall people in front of me.Fun fact, right in front of me there was a woman who wore one of Wakana’s dresses, the EXACT same one I had brought to Japan with the intention of wearing it at the concert. However, a few days earlier I had found Wakana’s red checkered pants and ended up buying them so of course I couldn’t help but wear them to the live. Still, I found it funny that someone had the same idea. She also wore Kalafina’s pinky ring so she was clearly a super obsessed fan.I am still wondering what her username is on Twitter. I guess she must be following me if she knows about all this fashion stuff. Arghhh, I wish I had approached her after the live but as always, I was way too socially inept... Cameras: I am pretty sure I mentioned it already but there were a lot of cameras all across the hall. Not just the tiny ones which are used for news reports and such. They had a whole-ass camera crew on-site. No idea what they are planning to do. Either we will be getting a broadcast sponsored by BS Fuji or they will use the footage for a home video release. They might also add the footage (or at least parts of it) as bonus content for Wakana’s 3rd album. Let’s keep our fingers crossed. There’s no way they hired all those cameramen and equipment for nothing. Vocals: For the most part, Wakana was in great shape. It’s such a pleasure to hear her in a classical hall accompanied by strings and piano. And honestly, a couple of these acoustic arrangements were out of this world. So freaking good! I feel like her microphone was maybe a bit too loud at times or the instruments were simply too quiet but it didn’t really take away from my enjoyment. Plus, they can always fix that with a bit of studio magic if they really end up releasing the concert. Nevertheless, I’d really like to have more strings in future concerts, just to add a little more oomph. Maybe I am the only one but I feel like I need at least a string quartet XD Setlist: Overall, I was quite happy with the setlist since it contained all three of her new songs and some of my faves but I probably would have made some changes if the choice had been up to me. Can’t lie but I was hoping and praying for “breathing” as intro. Instead we got “Yakusoku no Yoake” which is always nice, don’t get me wrong, but meh, we already have a performance of it on DVD/BD and let’s be real here, “breathing” is the superior song, at least in my opinion. Am I the only one who is kinda growing tired of “Ai ni Dekiru Koto wa mada aru kai“? I feel like the song doesn’t have a standard ballad structure so it’s quite hard for me to get into it, especially considering its crazy length. Personally, I would have much preferred her to sing “Inochi no Namae” or “Kimi wo Nosete” from her Cover Album. Also had my issues with “Nagareboshi”. I don’t outright dislike this song but it has always been a bit of a snoozer so naturally. I wasn’t overly excited when she announced she would be singing it as her final song. I mean, it kinda works as a wrap-up for the evening but I would have honestly killed to hear an acoustic version of “Ai no Hana”, it’s literally the perfect winter song!! Such a missed opportunity, I feel robbed.T_T Last but not least. let’s talk about her Kalafina song choice. Wakana often manages to pick my least favourite Kala-songs but I realise that I am pretty much alone with that opinion, especially regarding “Kimi no Gin no Niwa” which is obviously a fan-favourite. To her credit, she pulled it off well but ughhh, I cannot stand that song. I am still salivating when I think about her 2018 Symphony Orchestra Concert where she performed “Kimi ga Hikari ni Kaete Iku”. Who do I have to bribe to get something like this on DVD/BD??!! 

Song-specific thoughts

M01 約束の夜明け(Yakusoku no Yoake): As mentioned earlier, I was low-key hoping for “breathing” but I really like “Yakusoku no Yoake“ so it’s not like I was disappointed or anything. It might even be one of my favourite tracks from her 1st album. The beginning always blows me away, it’s by far the best part of the song and Wakana knocks it out of the park every single time. However, I think that some sections of the song aren’t particularly flattering to Wakana’s vocals. I know for a fact that she can handle much higher parts but I guess it’s the singing style she keeps using for this song hat makes it sound like she is out of her comfort zone. Oh well, she still does a decent job of powering through those sections. Overall, I quite enjoyed the performance and thought it was a fitting intro.

M02 442: Absolutely blown away by the acoustic arrangement and Wakana’s powerful performance. They better release the video footage soon because I am dying to hear this again. I am telling you, she SLAYED!  “442″ is undoubtedly one of her best songs that highlights all of her strengths as a singer so it’s always a joy to listen to it.

M03 オレンジ (Orange): Yet another lovely arrangement. Much better than the studio version if you ask me. I can’t remember any details but I definitely liked it.

M04  夕焼け (Yuuyake): Initially I did not care much for this song but every time I hear it live, I fall more and more in love with it. It’s just so precious.

M05 myself: Oh yes!! Jackpot! This was utterly beautiful. It’s the type of ballad Wakana excels in, when all that tragedy is laid on thick and you are being hit right in the feels. Hearing it in a classical setting makes it even more heart-wrenching.

M06 時には昔の話を（Toki ni ha Mukashi no Hanashi wo): This will never get old. There’s a reason they chose this song to promote Wakana’s cover album and it’s because it’s such a perfect fit for her.

M07 ��にできることはまだあるかい（Ai ni Dekiru Koto wa mada aru kai): I guess I already shared my thoughts about this. I think Wakana really likes the song so I feel kinda bad for not being into it. Maybe it’s because I never watched the film? The lyrics are lovely but the song just doesn’t resonate with me. Or rather, I have to be in the right mood for it to resonate with me. Isolated, I believe it can be quite powerful. Despite its understated nature there is a bit of a build-up after all. But it falls a little flat for me if you place the song right after a bunch of other ballads.

M08 君の銀の庭（Kimi no Gin no Niwa): Well, it was unfortunately the wrong Kalafina-“Kimi~” song for me but hey, what can you do about it? Whatever my thoughts might be about this particular song, I truly appreciate the fact that Wakana still makes a conscious effort to include Kalafina pieces in her setlists because on the one hand, she wants to honour that legacy and on the other hand, she knows that it will make her audience happy. During the MC leading up to the performance she actually explained how picking a Kalafina song is always the most difficult part of putting her setlists together. Overall, it was a solid performance. She did quite well covering the other parts.

M09 Winter Wonderland: I definitely did not think that Wakana would sing this. Maybe it’s because I didn’t grow up with them but I have a bit of an aversion to most Anglo-American Christmas songs (including this one) so when she announced the title of the upcoming song, I felt more than a little disappointed.  Especially since I had no idea how it would fit her singing style. However, I am happy to report that I was proven wrong. This far exceeded my expectations and it actually turned out to be a very enjoyable performance. I would say this was only the second song of the night (after “442″) where we got to hear a more fierce and daring approach by Wakana. Still not a fan of the song but damn, Wakana’s version sounds good!

M10 Silent Night: Now we are talking. A Christmas song I actually like. And as expected, Wakana nailed it. I mean, she was literally born to sing songs like this. With everyone always comparing Wakana’s singing to an angel’s voice falling down from the heavens it’s only natural to think that she would do an amazing job with Christmas carols and hymns. A little nitpicking though, I wasn’t fully invested in the arrangement which may or may not have been a bit too pop-ish, I don’t know.

M11 標 (Shirushi): I was really hoping that we would get to hear this brand-new song and I am so glad that my wish came true. Knowing the entire backstory to this and having Wakana share a few bits and pieces again during the concert really made it very hard for me not to cry like a little baby. For those who don’t know yet, this is basically a daughter’s declaration of love to her father (Wakana’s father passed away not too long ago). This song was more or less custom-made for this occasion so it hits a little closer to home than others. While I cannot relate at all to a strong father-daughter relationship, this still hit me right in the feels. I did expect something woeful with heavy strings but it was actually quite understated. Filled with a lot of gratitude and pride. I wish I could say more about it but it’s so hard for me to recall details of a song that I have only listened to once. If I had to compare it, I would probably say it comes closest to “Ato Hitotsu” as far as the overall sound is concerned. It is longer though.

M12 明日を夢見て歌う (Asu wo Yume Mite Utau): I was of course super excited to also finally listen to Wakana’s other new song. This however was a bit of a letdown if I am being honest. It was written by Satoshi Takebe whose collabs with Wakana are always a bit of a hit-and-miss for me. It’s like “Kimi dake no Stage” 2.0. If you enjoy that song you will also like “Asu wo Yume Mite Utau“ I think. The emotion is all there in the lyrics and I can feel what kind of message Wakana is trying to convey to us but meh, the song doesn’t quite hit the mark for me.  Fun fact: For the longest time I thought it was “Ashita” in the title but it’s actually “Asu”.

M13 Flag: Another absolutely gorgeous acoustic arrangement that really blew me away. Right up there with “442″ and “Winter Wonderland” in terms of fierceness.

M14 Happy Hello Day: Can’t believe this was the first time hearing the song live at a venue. Experiencing it right there while breathing the same air is so much different than just watching it on a live stream. As much as I appreciate the influx of online broadcasts, nothing beats the euphoria of actually being there at the venue and enjoying a song that makes you feel so incredibly connected with your favourite artist. I truly had a blast during this performance.

EC01 記憶の人 (Kioku no Hito): What a pleasant surprise. I am very much in love with this song and it’s definitely among my favourite Wakana solo songs so I can never get enough of it. Beautiful performance.

EC02 magic moment: A bit on the fence about it. We all know that I am not the biggest fan of the song’s structure, it starts really melodious with its symphonic grandeur but then it somehow become quite messy to my ears. I can’t explain it very well but there is just a lack of flow. However, that doesn’t mean that I cannot appreciate Wakana’s vocal prowess in it. Just thinking back to her performance during the “magic moment” live tour gives me goosebumps (although I obviously only ever experienced it on blu-ray). I would say that performance still remains her best one yet. This one wasn’t quite as epic but maybe that’s just because of the added studio magic in the blu-ray.

Fan Club Exclusive Part

Very happy to see that almost everyone had bought a special Christmas ticket. At the end of the main part of the concert, audience members were asked to leave the hall if they didn’t have a fan club ticket and only a handful of people actually left. Still surprised that they just trusted us to be honest about this. Typical Japanese mindset I guess. I mean, people could have just remained at their seats, no one would have checked their tickets again. However, I think they had most people with regular tickets seated in the back area so it was easier for staff members to figure out who was required to leave. At this point none of us knew what to expect but I had a feeling we would get a special encore. When Wakana and her musicians returned to the stage in their cute Christmas getup I was pleasantly surprised to realise that we would be getting a little talk corner. Mind you, it wasn’t anything super special, just some random small talk among them, they all basically just shared some Christmas anecdotes but hey, it was fun. I vaguely remember Wakana talking about trying to find the perfect colour for a new winter coat but she ended up with a boring grey one XD I had almost given up hope that they would perform another song when their talk just kept going on and on. It was already way past the scheduled time for the live to end so I thought we would run out of time. But then Wakana surprised us all by announcing that they still had a short performance in store for us. Until the very last moment I had hoped that I would get to hear “Ai no Hana” but alas, it wasn’t meant to be. As mentioned earlier, I wasn’t too thrilled about “Nagareboshi”  but it was a fitting send-off. I believe everyone thought that this would be it but when we left the hall, we were all given a paper bag containing even more awesome goodies. Our Christmas present from Wakana was made up of a postcard with a handwritten message and signature as well as a pretty glass fitting perfectly into her series of previously released glasses. *weeee* All of this was definitely worth the extra money. If you ever wonder if it’s worth going for pricier tickets, here’s your answer: It absolutely is! You typically get a lot of bang for your buck so always go for the expensive option if you have the means. And I am actually so glad that the Christmas present didn’t turn out to be a fugly t-shirt, I am just not a t-shirt person.

After the Live

One of my Twitter followers had arranged a dinner/after-party with a bunch of fellow Kala-fans. While I am most definitely not very fond of large gatherings like this, it wasn’t too bad. We had some tables reserved at a Chinese restaurant nearby. In celebration of Wakana’s live, we wanted to eat a ton of gyoza and xiao long bao. It was delicious! Sadly I didn’t get to eat all that much because I left quite early (I mean, it felt late to me but who knows how long the others stayed). I was flying back to Vienna the following day so I wanted to get at least a few decent hours of sleep.

I stole from @pessimistics so steal it from me--

these require explanation see under the cut--

So... to preface this, many of Katrina's crimes were done under her authority as a Council Spectre. What this essentially means is that during these times, she is considered above the law, therefore she is technically not committing a crime by the same standards as others. Key examples:

MURDER: Yes, she murdered the scientists responsible for Akuze that Toombs identified. However, they killed 50 of her fellow marines for the sake of experimentation, and tortured Toombs for years following the incident. Also, you know... crashing an asteroid into a mass relay that destroyed an entire star system, including a colony of 300,000 batarians.

B&E / THEFT: Yes, she broke into Donovan Hock's vault with Kasumi's help... but Hock was a notorious criminal who murdered Keiji Okuda for his greybox. Kat simply helped steal it back from Hock.

TRESPASSING: Again, trespassing on Hock's vault, sneaking into batarian space to rescue an Alliance operative... yeah.

TREASON: She did steal the Alliance's most advanced warship (the Normandy SR-1) from the Citadel when ordered by Ambassador Udina and the Citadel Council to remain grounded. But... she was trying to save the galaxy. And she did.

LIBEL/SLANDER: Technically in-game for comedy purposes... but she accused an asari shopkeep of discrimination for a discount. Look, she pays an assload of credits for her gear, she deserves the damn discount.

LYING TO LAW ENFORCEMENT: Well, technically it was none of Parasini's business that she killed the ERCS guards that were being paid under the table by Anoleis... it's classified Spectre business. Noveria Internal Affairs didn't need to know...

CREATION OF A WEAPON: She did help a salarian Special Tasks Group team create a giant bomb out of their drive core. In fact, she helped deliver the payload to the center of Saren's cloning facility. For the sake of blowing it up. And you could argue finalizing the course of flying a giant asteroid into a mass relay also counts, given it wiped out an entire star system. (She was trying to stop the Reapers, okay? And she did... again.)

DESTRUCTION OF EVIDENCE: Keiji Okuda's greybox held information that would have put the Systems Alliance at risk legally. So... she destroyed it. It was not information that she wanted to fall into the wrong hands.

ASSASSINATION: Probably too many instances of this to count. Although, whether it's assassination or murder is... a grey area. I guess you could argue she assassinated Udina...... who was staging a coup to take over the Citadel on behalf of Cerberus, who were known terrorists.

HACKING CRIMES: She's hacked doors, she also followed a money-laundering AI across the Citadel and shut it down... just too many of these to list.

THREATEN: She did threaten to blow Fist's "lying head off"... got pretty aggressive in an interrogation helping Thane stop his son assassinating a racist politician... Sometimes people listen better when you light a fire under their ass, okay?

Yeah, there's a reason law enforcement hates Spectres... because despite all of these crimes, they were all, technically, under legal pretense a la her Spectre authority.

[mymbios]

Lincoln Parrish, 28 years old, is the eldest of five children and the only boy in the family, which means he’s used to being outnumbered by his sisters. His family includes his mom Margaret Parrish, 56, who’s a high school math teacher, his dad Dale Parrish, 58, a sales manager, and his four younger sisters: Molly, 25, a nurse, Avery, 23, who works in marketing, Grace, 21, a college student studying psychology, and Natalie, 19, who’s just starting her freshman year at college and is interested in marine biology. Lincoln’s childhood was full of baseball games, chaotic family dinners, and learning to deal with his dad’s stubborn personality, especially when it came to his drinking.

Growing up, Lincoln was your classic backwards hat-wearing, baseball-playing boy next door. He wasn’t super passionate about baseball, but his dad pushed him into the sport, so he played it all through high school and even got a spot on his college team. However, his real interest was in engineering. Lincoln majored in mechanical engineering and now works as a project engineer for a renewable energy company, helping to design and improve wind turbines.

Despite his frat boy exterior, Lincoln has always had a responsible side. He was the only guy in his fraternity who knew how to do laundry and stayed up on current events, reading the news while most of his friends were glued to sports channels. If he hadn’t been so focused on engineering, he might have gone into political science—he’s fascinated by history and politics, which explains why the History Channel is one of his go-to channels when he’s not watching the Food Network.

Lincoln wasn’t always so on top of things, though. His second semester of freshman year was rough—he partied too hard, drank too much, and was basically a functioning alcoholic. Eventually, he sought help through the campus counseling services and got things under control. These days, he still enjoys a good party but is much more balanced. He was known for being the king of beer pong at frat parties and could still probably crush anyone at the game.

One of Lincoln’s quirks is his ability to come up with bizarre but amazing food combinations in the middle of the night. He’s been known to whip up incredible dishes at 3 a.m., only to forget how he made them the next day. He’s also infamous for his massive shoe collection, which he keeps in pristine condition. He’s always got his gallon water jug with him and he swears he could eat his grandma’s lasagna every day of the week.

Lincoln drives a black Jeep, a gift from his parents when he graduated high school, and he’s a huge fan of camping. He wakes up at the crack of dawn to go jogging, a routine he’s stuck to since college when he realized that early morning exercise helped him clear his head.

Despite his class clown persona, Lincoln was a really good student and took pride in getting involved on campus. He always took the volunteering aspect of being in a fraternity seriously and became the go-to guy for fundraisers. He also accidentally flirts with everyone, a habit he developed in high school, but he’s sweet enough that no one really minds.

Though Lincoln and his dad butt heads a lot, especially when it comes to his dad’s denial of his own alcoholism, Lincoln’s experience with partying and then reeling it back in has helped him develop a deeper understanding of self-control and responsibility. These days, he’s focused on his career, maintaining his friendships, and spending time with his sisters, who always look up to their big brother—even if he’s still a little too obsessed with Shark Week.

Artificial Intelligence: 

Aurora. An artificial intelligence (AI) is an artificial construct that exhibits intelligence simple or far below, similar, or far superior, to a sapient and sentient biological being. Ai is a sapient, self-aware computer system capable of independent thought and reason. She is a hyper-powerful artificial intelligence. The Asian Pasifika/Afro Latine Native demigod alien hybrid as a bionic and cyborg has skepticism about inorganics like AIs, robots, synthetics, & or androids. They would like to trust and want to have hope and optimism. Aurora feels some family-like connection to other inorganics like AI, robots, androids, or synthetics. She likes organics a lot though she is frustrated how they don't fully understand certain inorganic issues. She is one of the most powerful, most advanced A.I. ever created by human and alien collaboration. She is sentient. She is an intelligent human and alien advanced smart artificial intelligence. She is a fusion of a human and alien technology made by alien and human creators based on human and an alien template. She/they can communicate through communication systems. She/they can project a holographic image of herself from appropriate holographic projectors. Her chosen avatar appears to be a female human/alien hybrid. In her alien form she is a winged reptilian draconian humanoid. She has scales, fins, wings, a tail, clawed hands and feet, & horns. She looks to be roughly in her early twenties. In her ai form her ai sprite is a few inches tall, as big as we imagine a fae pixie or fairy to be. She has blue skin, purple hair cut in a long ponytail, & green eyes. She has green, blue, & purple: alien symbols and human characters scrolling down her body. She appears to be wearing a futuristic bodysuit. She is wearing cyberpunk clothing. She has a realistic humanoid feminine figure. 

Before he/she/they met she was the AI for a Space Navy Fleet of the Federation Space Armed Forces onboard a fleet flagship. Her alien template Sera-Lyn was a scientist in a futuristic science field. Her human template was based on a Federation Armed Forces Space Naval Captain. She appears almost human. She has a coworker-like relationship with her human space naval captain template. Her human template is Isa Mru, an Afro Asian Pasifika who's a South Asian Bangladesh and Micronesian Chamorro Guahan Indigenous Pasifika woman of color. She was the lieutenant commander of a frigate and corvette spaceship and commander of a destroyer and cruiser. Isa is a captain of a battlecruiser and battleship capital ship. She is later fleet admiral of a dreadnought and flagship. The AI being created by human and alien collaboration and having a human and alien template. She looks essentially like an alien hybrid. Looking mostly human with some features from the alien template. She has a positive relationship with the metahuman demigod and alien hybrid superhuman super soldier. She met him/her/them when he/she/they was a super soldier. 

She was to provide battlefield support for him/her/them and his/her/their team of human and alien super soldiers. A team he/she/they knew since they were child, preteen, teenage, and young adult soldiers for the Terran Empire. Experimented since they were children on a cellular, microscopic, & nanoscopic level. They were natives of color throughout the Terran diaspora all stolen from their homes by metahuman and superhuman traffickers working for the Earth settler colonial government. As a super soldier against the Terran Empire or Hegemony the main character’s first missions with their AI was black ops assassination mission, extraction of a high profile target, scouting or recon mission of an unmapped area, demolition or using explosives to target key objectives, & sabotaging supply lines of the enemy. Their first mission together when he/she/they was a superhero was fighting against Harbinger, an evil alien bigender AI, placed inside an humanoid robot or android. This AI was like Ultron, Brainiac, or Trazyn the Infinite. Harbinger the evil enemy alien ai housed in an android body when she wants to prolong her life to stave off corruption and deterioration resorts to consuming matter from other inorganics like AI, robots, androids, & synthetics. Harbinger, the enemy ai housed in a android body, her android form is six to seven feet tall.

Her main function was to provide battlefield support to a shock troop team of human and alien super soldiers and its leader. Her jobs included overseeing planetary trade operations, serving as a Federation security intelligence, cyber warfare against the Terran Empire/Dominion/Hegemony, data analysis of human and alien technology, defend classified data from alien or human hackers, leadership of a space colony on a colonized and terraformed planetoid, AI for super soldier program training for humans and aliens, assisting in constructing military spaceships and capital ships, researching alien and human artifacts, acquiring and distributing data during military operations, management of Intergalactic Intelligence Agencies, planetary security of a classified giant planet, intelligence support for black ops and spec ops super soldier squads, surveying undiscovered planets for terraforming and colonization, electronic warfare support, or controlling various functions aboard starships or capital ships as the shipboard AI.

She was designed to infiltrate computer systems and she is excellent at the task. She has become so intelligent that she understands human, alien, & magical technology. She has never encountered an alien or human security measure that she wasn't able to hack or bypass. In addition, she is proficient with Earth and the Milky Way, Andromeda, & Xeno Galaxy Federation military hardware and can run military spaceships, space stations, & even fleets by herself. She is capable of linking her consciousness with a super soldier through the super soldier's powered armor and neural interface. Allowing her to enhance the performance of the armor. She can communicate directly to the super soldier's mind as well as their conscious and unconscious thoughts and emotions. Letting her boost the user’s abilities pass superhuman limits. She connects with his/her/their bionic enhancements, cyberware, & cybernetic implants. She is inserted into his/her/their power armor or mech suit. 

She/they have no physical body. She can act independently when she hacks an android/synthetic/robot body. She is sentient and self aware. When not inside the powered armor suit or mecha suit for the main character as its personal AI. She is moving around the spaceship uploaded onto an android or robot. Her android form’s height is 5'7”. Advanced AI can function for centuries or millennia without deterioration or corruption without repair or maintenance. Simple ai lasts for decades only. Aurora in her AI form has intellectual, emotional, and spiritual relationships with other next gen advanced smart human and alien AIs. She in her android form has romantic, physical, and sexual relationships with next gen advanced robots, synthetics, & or androids.

Future costume:

Divine costume: 

First costume: 

The amour is also part of their manifestation as the deity of storms. When he/she/they shifts into this form the armor forms around him/her/them. Borrowing from the motif of mist gathering itself into the form of the armor. When the mist is fully concentrated into the correct shape the armor manifests itself. This happens as they move. The whole transformation can be seen to take place over a few steps, one form dropping away and dissolving into mist/fog with the mist/fog then coalescing into Kana’i/Ataahua with the manifestation of the cloak and armor lagging slightly behind the manifestation of his/her/their body. The leather parts of the armor is the same color of the Pacific sea during an ‘ino (dark greens and purples merging together to form an almost-dark gray color when viewed at a distance.)  His/her/their cloak is a manifestation of their powers. It is a constantly shifting concentration of storm clouds that fade to clouds then to fog and then cycles back up, with that happening in a gradient across the cloak. So in some places on the cloak the storm clouds will fully be in effect while elsewhere the cloak looks like fog.

Future costume:

Armor: 

Leather and metal hunting armor as clan hunter/huntress and clan hunting captain. Adorned to the armor to the chest, back, arms, and leg area of the leather armor was the reptilian, amphibian, mammalian, avian, & fish pelts of alien humanoids they hunted for warmth and camouflage. Adorned to the hunting armor as a necklace were the teeth, claws, talons, fangs, tusks, horns, & saber teeth of the humanoids, animals, creatures, & beasts they killed as proof of their hunting prowess. 

The armor was also decorated with the mammalian fur, reptilian scales, & avian feathers of the game they found while hunting. Fastened to the helmet was the skull of a humanoid alien they hunted as hunting captain and clan hunter/huntress of their tribe and clan. After the humanoids, animals, beasts, & creatures were killed they took their corpses. Their bodies were burned leaving only their bones to be gathered to steal their mana or power. Mana is a life force which gives influence, power, and authority. Mana can be gained or lost. It is stored in the bones. After someone’s death, small bones would be turned into jewelry. 

Ivory and scarlet combat armor:

Charcoal and cherry power armor. 

He/she/they are a fifth, sixth, & seventh generation super soldier. The Mark 10 Mars/Ares Combat Armor is a technologically advanced combat exoskeleton system. The suit also possesses other features that enhance its wearer's already superhuman or supernatural abilities. It is designed to vastly improve the strength, durability, perception, endurance, stamina, intelligence, dexterity, agility, reflexes, & speed of a metahuman or superhuman super soldier in the field of combat. 

Power armor is used in Sabotage missions, Reconnaissance missions, Assassination missions, Wetwork missions, Exoatmospheric operation missions, Scouting missions, Sniper operation missions, Threat assessment missions, Survey missions in extreme environments, Alien and human artifact and relic acquisition missions, Intelligence gathering missions, Missions in intel-poor environments, Missions in unfamiliar hostile environments, Paramilitary and clandestine intelligence agencies black ops missions,

The power armor is the most advanced piece of tactical military hardware in alien or human hands. It is an attempt to create a powered exoskeleton capable of taking full advantage of the physical, mental, & emotional capabilities of a metahuman and superhuman super soldier esp the demigod or alien hybrid user. The powered armor is a highly advanced suit capable of further enhancing the metahuman’s or superhumans' physical, mental, & emotional performance. The power armor is able to enhance the strength, perception, awareness, endurance, stamina, constitution, durability, intelligence, dexterity, agility, flexibility, & speed of the user. 

The powered armor is commonly personalized by suit art on the power armor and visor art on the power armor helmet. With the power armor later personalized suits of power armor have vinyls, decals, emblems, & graphics on the power armor helmet visor as well as the power armor suit’s torso, chest, back, shoulders, arms, elbows, legs, knees, etc.

It is a bionically and cybernetically enhanced armor which affords its bearer inhuman attributes and destructive power. Each module is individually powered by a set of 3 micro-fusion cores. Except for the main frame which is powered by one singular large fusion core. The suit is also powered by cold fusion cartridges that are inserted into the suit's arms and legs. It is powered by small portable fusion power sources which can be easily replaced. It is powered by gas, electricity, steam, or nuclear power. It has a built-in battery that can be recharged.

The power armor suit comes with accelerated movement, reinforced armor, hydraulic bracers, optimized bracers, kinetic servos, reactive plating, overdrive servos, a sensor array, artificial guidance, active camouflage, a cloaking device, matrix overlay, emergency protocol, core assembly, explosive vents, smart camouflage, force accumulator, mechanical enhancement, optimized servos, a fusion reactor, an internal database, a medical pump, a HUD or heads up display, a head lamp, recon sensors, a targeting hud, virtual interface, heavy plating, motion assist servos, flight, rocket boots, jet pack, & sealed suit. The power armor suit comes with thermal coating, explosive shielding, & titanium plating.

When injured the user is healed by stimpacks, first aid kits, medpacks, combat stimulants, pain suppressants, & nanite injections. When the suit is punctured the suit seals itself off while nano machines repair and maintain the armor. Each power suit has intelligent servos that provide compression to reduce bleeding, increase clotting, first aid to heal wounds, pain suppression to reduce pain, & nanites for healing injuries. This controls the built-in medical dispenser (capable of injecting first aid, pain suppressors, & combat stimulant drugs when needed). It is also capable of controlling the heartbeat, blood pressure, & blood sugar of the wearer through a specialized regulator.

The armor is streamlined and sleek than its bulkier and heavier predecessors. Some suits allowed the helmet and surrounding segments to be removed and replaced allowing a user to simply climb in through the opening in the chest or back cavity. A more involved method consisted of the suit being constructed from prefabricated parts around the user, seemingly sealing the user inside. Unlike the powered exoskeletons that preceded it. The power armor was designed from the ground up as a suit of armor. 

The armor requires training to enter, use, & take off. Spanning over centuries of development it encompassed more than just a powered suit of armor. It is a pioneering effort intended to shatter current technological barriers. With constant drills metahuman and superhuman super soldiers can enter and exit the armor in minutes. 

More advanced later gen suits were easier to get inside and outside of. This was since it was a more streamlined process. It opened by itself from the back with the help of the power armor’s onboard AI. The earlier and oldest power armor suits were difficult to get inside and outside of. It required a team of trained engineers, inventors, & technicians to fully take off the suit of power armor from power armor. They still use the old and archaic way of taking off the power armor piece by piece with the hydraulic machine and a team of inventors, engineers, mechanics, & technicians but only when maintaining/repairing, upgrading/updating, or customizing the power armor suit. The power armor suit is also stronger in construction than the older generation power armor lines.

Its design philosophy would serve as a basis for all future powered armor system designs. However you can remove parts of the armor in emergencies to repair the armor or to customize or upgrade the power armor. Each generation of the power armor is composed of major fundamental components. The power armor integrates the vast majority of the armor's vital hardware systems inside the skintight bodysuit itself. Allowing for more streamlined production and easier implementation of specialized subsystems and armatures.

Through a beacon located on their tech/body/flight suit and combat armor. The power armor can triangulate their position. Through nanites, malleable human and alien smart metal, and nano machines the power armor can collaborate with the onboard ai in the power armor and the ai implanted into their neurological system and synchronize to build the suit around the user. This is if they need the suit but are currently out of it for emergencies. The main character can do this only with the later gen advanced power armor suits not the old archaic suits.

Has an internal grenade launcher system inside the power armor chest. The suit's autoloader is equipped to quickly manufacture and load hundreds of standard 30 mm fragmentation grenade, smoke grenade, flashbang grenade, sleeping gas grenade, electroshock stun grenade, cryogenic freezing grenade, WP, noxious gas grenade, plasma grenade, incendiary explosive grenade, electromagnetic pulse or EMP grenade, small yield nuclear explosive grenade, hallucinogenic gas grenade, temporal time grenades, quantum void grenades, seeker grenades, etc. 

It has built-in 7.76 mm, 12.7 mm, and 50 caliber medium and heavy triple barrel machine gun ballistic, plasma, hard light, & laser turrets built into the power armors shoulders. It has built-in 30 and 40 mm plasma and hard light rocket launchers and missile silos built into the power armor’s chest.

The power armor suit and power armor helmet is custom made and is fitted plated metal armor over a metal exoskeleton. It is built around the metal exoskeleton worn over a soft skin-tight space suit and metal plated combat armor with a combat helmet with visor. It allows for customization and upgrading. It lets users connect the power armor with their cyberware implants and bionic enhancements. 

It has room for storage of extra supplies of food and water. It has an oxygen tank to breathe in space or underwater.

It features special systems to protect its user from the hard light, plasma, laser, energy, & ballistic weapons. Any damage that the armor plating suffers can be repaired by built-in subsystems. These systems are receptive to nanomachines facilitating the repair. Additionally, bypass channels allow certain components to function if routing is compromised by extensive damage.

The suit contains a gel filled layer underneath a thick black and white armored bodysuit. The gel layer regulates temperature. The inner skinsuit is made of a moisture absorbing synthetic material linked to an environment control computer and the occupant's neural mental and emotional interface. The user is healed by nanites and the power armor is repaired by nanomachines. The power armor integrates the vast majority of the armor's vital hardware, cyberware, and firmware systems inside the skintight bodysuit itself. Allowing for more streamlined production and easier implementation of specialized subsystems and armatures.

Sandwiched between the external power armor and the internal padding is a thick armored skin tight titanium nanocomposite bodysuit. The bodysuit is made of a nonrigid titanium-based material, making it very strong and yet very flexible. The combat weave of the tech suit of later generations is thicker and possesses a tighter weave. Thereby giving the user a greater boost to their strength, durability, constitution, endurance, stamina, senses, perception, awareness, intelligence, agility, reflexes, flexibility, & speed. Advanced next gen tech suits headpiece comes with a more advanced HUD and visor.

The tech suit and combat armor is worn while inside the power armor. Carbon fiber forms part of the tech and body suit. The suit can be outfitted onto super soldiers via servos. The suit has numerous functions, small but vital  to the safety and survival of the wearer. It also serves as another layer of protection against ballistics, laser, energy, plasma, and hard light weapons. 

The form-fitting tech suit is interwoven with an advanced circuitry system that covers the entire body including the neck and head. Its temperature regulation system could shield the wearer from heat detection equipment with an adjustable temperature setting. Many components of the titanium bodysuit are conspicuously fashioned after the shape of human and alien musculature for alien and human metahuman and superhuman super soldiers. 

Most suits are black, blue, and/or gray in color.  In fact, each techsuit is custom-made for the super soldier that wears it. Some models have portions of the bodysuit share their color with the external armor plating. The body suit of the main character is black and red like the crimson, silver, gold, & obsidian power armor outside. 

Certain squads or individual operatives are outfitted with customized tech suits that contain a host of undisclosed improvements or modifications to fit particular mission parameters or operator’s needs. These polymuscle exoskeletons cannot be worn by unaugmented personnel. As many of the techsuit's medical and environmental control systems require invasive access to bionic implants and cybernetic implants. 

The techsuit is comfortable to wear for extended periods of time and constitutes the base of super soldier's service uniform. Though it provides limited ability enhancement without access to external power. When paired with the compact fusion reactor and shield generators in a power armor cuirass the full capabilities of the techsuit are unlocked. It contains channels and distribution webbing for regenerative hard light, energy, laser, plasma shielding and force fields.  

The exoskeleton musculature can operate at full power.

It has plating on the face, neck, chest, back, arms, & legs. The powered armor is built around an exoskeleton combined with a supplemental system that acts as artificial muscle. Mimicking the wearer's own movements in a sort of purely mechanical and neurological synchronization. As a result it negates its own perceived weight and allows the wearer to carry thick, bulky armor plating without being encumbered. The wearer gains effective superhuman strength, stamina, endurance, durability, agility, flexibility, reflexes, accuracy, dexterity, speed, etc. 

It also provides protection against environmental hazards that can't really be resisted or dodged by being a self-contained environment. Allowing the user to exist comfortably in space, deep underwater, surrounded by radiation, or in other areas that would kill unprotected humans or aliens. The armor features a survival mode that can keep the occupant alive for at least six months in the vacuum of space with no food, water, or other things vital to life aside from the suit's oxygen supply. 

The upper back section of the suit houses a series of rubber tubes. These run through the jointed areas of the suit. Protecting wires and distributing coolant. These tubes make up the bulk of an efficient liquid cooling system. It is assisted by four sets of high-speed turbines. These turbines vent the heat generated by the suit's power supply and the temperature buildup in harsh atmospheric conditions.

The power armor suit suppresses the user’s noise allowing them to sneak past enemies when crouched or crawling. This is possible by noise dampening in the power armor legs and boots. It can also slip past mines after certain upgrades. Mufflers which reduce the amount of noise the suit makes and the user's heat signature. 

It has enhanced fall boots in case of drop deployment. It utilizes a slow-fall system that allows the armor to drop from great distances. It has gravity boots that magnetize to metal surfaces such as ships, satellites, & stations when operating in space. The suit also contains a magnet system within its boots that allows its wearer to stay attached to a metal surface in zero gravity environments such as on a ship, satellite, or station in space. It can be toggled on or off by the wearer.

In order to boost the wearer's mobility, speed, flexibility, & reflexes power armor suits have a jetpack on their back for flying. They also have built-in thrusters on their power armor boots that allow them to glide at least for short distances or via rocket-assisted jumps. This gives them good mobility and speed without sacrificing protection. 

They also have built in rocket boosters in the power armor suit’s knees and elbows to punch, kick, elbow, or knee enemies faster. It has a jetpack on the back of the armor and the armor’s power armor boots for hovering or flight. The suit's motors are also located in the chest, back, arms, & legs powering the servos that allow for the power armor suit's enhanced movement. Has a heavily reinforced frame. The servos enable a wearer to dash up steep mountainous slopes and safely land from tall heights from tall buildings. The legs are piston-powered, allowing the user to make long jumps.

Has scars from his/her/their super soldier augmentations and enchantments. Has scars from cyber ware implants, cybernetic implants, & bionic implants. Has scars from experimentation done on them since they were a demigod and alien hybrid child to young adult to make them into a metahuman and superhuman child soldier. Despite the super soldier program and child soldier indoctrination as well as brainwashing, conditioning, and mind control to fight for the Terran dominion empire or hegemony they didn’t lose their emotions or become unfeeling or stoic despite the trauma.

The main character as a super soldier doesn’t have accelerated aging. The super soldiers still have their supernaturally long superhuman lifespans as metahuman and superhuman humanoids. All of the super soldiers weren’t sterilized or made infertile. So they can still have children with each other or others.

Other than armor. The power armor suit has a force field, plasma shield, and hard light shield that can withstand a certain threshold of force from ballistic, laser, plasma, and or hard light melee or ranged weaponry. The shields can recharge but they have to be out of combat and it takes awhile to replenish. That’s when the armor itself takes damage. Armor can be repaired by nanites in battle or by a machine when back at base.

He/she/they wore charcoal and ruby military class heavy assault Iuyamian combat armor and power armor that were both made out of alien metal materials stronger than Wakandan vibranium the metal that made up the suit of the Black Panther (T’challa), adamantium the metal that made the metal claws of Wolverine (James Howlett Logan) and Sabertooth (Victor Creed), & nth metal. 

The Iuyamian armor tempered with celestial steel and stellar titanium had a gorget (that protects the chest), a bevor (protecting the lower face, neck, chin, & throat) a breastplate or chestplate (that protects the chest), backplate, pauldrons (that protect the shoulders), plackart (that protected the lower half of the torso), cuirass (that protected the front of the torso), culet (that protects the small of back and the buttocks), couters (that protects the elbows), poleyns (that protected the knees), faulds (to protect the waist and hips), gauntlets (that protect the forearms to the hands), gardbraces (to protect the armpits), vambraces (that protect the elbow to the forearm), sabatons (that protect the feet), cuisses (to protect the thighs), tassat (that protect the groin, upper thighs, & pelvis), & greaves (that covered from the shin to the knee). 

The power armor helmet was designed with a sharper temple, with a metallic shine, a full curved ridge, a definite brow, a prominent muzzle, & a solitary dark cambion glowing visor with two eye holes. The power armor helmet was also designed with a dark umber and dark scarlet color, a faintly more skeletal look, & it had distinct cheeks. The power armor helmet had claw marks going above its left eye to the bottom of its left cheek. This is to break enemy troop morale and to intimidate and scare enemy officers when on missions. 

The claw marks were from a female were-human who is someone who is powerful as King Shark, Wolverine, Beast, Sabertooth, Juggernaut, Orca, Killer Croc, The Shark, Gorilla Grodd, Copperhead, Monsieur Mallah, Manbat, Bane, & Cheetah combined. This dangerous were-human was armed with gauntlets with serrated diamond tipped metal claws made of a metal stronger than nth metal coated in element x. Cardinal Changeling barely defeated her in their Hybrid/Chimera or Beast/Feral/Primal form. Instead of repairing it, Scarlet Shapeshifer kept the claw marks as proof of their battle out of respect. 

The power armor helmet was designed with numerous Iuyamian marks on the face, the power armor helmet had lines of Iuyamian characters on both cheeks and temple, the power armor helmet was decorated with countless Iuyamian symbols, the power armor helmet had unique Iuyamian writing on both brows and the muzzle, the power armor helmet had organic cybernetic and natural bionic elements (these organic cybernetic and natural bionic elements were on its temple, on its snout, & and on both cheeks), the power armor helmet had two shining cardinal lines going down the two right and left eye holes of his/her/their dark fire brick glowing visor, & finally the power armor helmet had bizarre sophisticated patterns around the jaw area making it distantly look like a face. All of this gave his/her/their power armor helmet a menacing and remarkable look that motivated allies and petrified enemies.

Cardinal mech suit. A mecha is a robotic machine, which can vary widely in size, configuration, and purpose. Mecha are usually vehicles controlled from an onboard cockpit by a single pilot. The mecha is repaired, customized, & upgraded by a small to large crew. Sometimes the mecha is also controlled externally by voice commands, motion capture, and thoughts and emotions from the pilot. The mecha flies through rocket boosters and thrusters in the boosts and back of the mecha. The mecha also flies though a pair of robotic wings and a pair of hard light wings built onto the shoulders of the mecha. 

The mecha has built in heavy machine guns onto the shoulders and built in missile silos in the chest of the mecha. The mecha has a giant positron cannon, a giant electromagnetic cannon, and a giant rail gun for primary weapons. Mechs are designed by teams of R&D scientists. Mech pilots pilot mecha suits. These mech suit pilots are assisted by teams of mechanics. 

Mechs are part of an arms race between factions, countries, world governments, planets, & intergalactic governments. There is mech on mech warfare. Mechs settle territorial disputes and interplanetary conflicts. You can customize mechs. You can also upgrade mecha units. There are many types of mechs. Such as close combat types, medium range assault types, long range artillery, support types, & command and control. You can be a regular soldier in the armed forces as an ensign to captain in the space navy as a mecha pilot. Or you can be a mercenary or private soldier as a mecha pilot selling  your services to whoever pays you for the highest bidder. Completing missions as a merc earns you notoriety and fame among mercenary companies. 

Attached to him/her/them mentally, emotionally, telepathically, empathically, & psionically are four human AIs. Human smart super advanced artificial intelligences that are implanted directly into his/her/their neural system that are male, female, nonbinary, & genderfluid. These human AI’s through the mental, emotional, telepathic, empathic, & psionic connection and bond allow the AIs to see, feel, & think what they see, feel, & think giving each of them advanced situational awareness, problem solving, & strategic enhancements. Connected to him/her/them mentally, emotionally, telepathically, empathically, & psionically are four alien smart super advanced artificial intelligences that are implanted directly into his/her/their power armor and mech suit that are male, female, nonbinary, & gender-fluid. 

These human and alien AI’s through the mental, emotional, telepathic, empathic, & psionic connection and bond that allow the AIs to see, feel, & think what they each see, feel, & think. The psionic, telepathic, technopathic, empathetic, & psychic bonds and links between them and the mech are so strong that it will punch through primordial level threats, celestial level threats, stellar level threats, & cosmic level threats to reach its owner when they are surrounded on their command and “still have a mind of its own” because of the suit’s AI’s that control it. 

The psionic, telepathic, technopathic, empathetic, & psychic bonds and links between them and the Artificial Intelligences in their body, their mech, & their power armor suit are so strong that it will go against and disregard their orders just to save each of them in dangerous situations. Despite them telling it to save itself or act to defend them against enemies who take advantage of their heavily weakened state when having an episode of depression, anxiety, panic attacks, & PTSD as a result of a trigger of a traumatic experience. 

The microscopic nanomachines, nanites, & nanobots of the suit create an artificial and synthetic layer of muscle and exoskeleton made by the mesh, web, & weave over their body over which supplementary structures are created, configured, constructed, arranged, & assembled allowing the power armor to be almost completely indestructible, invisible, & invulnerable as the armor is capable of self transforming, self healing, self repairing, & self maintaining itself by having self replicating, self transforming, self healing, self maintaining, & self replicating nano machines replace, heal, maintain, & repair what has been lost, used, destroyed, & or damaged. The nano machines and nanobots are also used to healing them when they’re injured. 

The reason for this powerful bond and link is the Artificial Intelligences feel empathy and sympathy for their chronic: depression, anxiety attacks, panic attacks, OCD, BD, BPD, schizophrenia, & PTSD caused by their past trauma and abuse. 

When they go through an episode or relapse of PTSD they are each experiencing the events through disturbing reminiscences, night sweats, recurring nightmares, flashbacks, & or powerful anguish when exposed to reminders or triggers of the traumatic events. They experience these symptoms sometimes in the middle of combat or a mission and as such the AIs hardwired in each of their: bodies, combat armors, power armors, & mech suits will control the power armor and mech to protect them. As a result of their chronic PTSD they have feelings of indifference, amnesia, emotional numbing, limited influence, & or active avoidance of thoughts that may be reminders of each of their trauma. They constantly and repeatedly go to the battlefields as each of them are former spec ops super soldiers as a result of this PTSD. The only things that can help them though this in the middle of battle are their allies or the AIs.

Their power of flight. Power of breath blasts from their mouth, energy blasts from their palms of their clawed hands and soles of their clawed feet, and optic blasts from their eyes as an alien hybrid comes from lunar rays, solar radiation, and cosmic energy.

His/her/their true alien form has several eyes. So he/she/they have optic blasts like cyclops, Superman, or darkseid. His/her/their optic blasts from his/her/their two eyes are crimson. His/her/their optic blasts from his/her/their main two eyes he/she/they use to see are one directional like Superman or Cyclops. These optic blasts are more concentrated and focused. 

His/her/their optic blasts from his/her/their other eyes are omnidirectional like darkseid. These optic blasts are not as accurate. These optic blasts are gold. Capable of redirecting itself if the target moves but won’t hit them as powerful. 

His/her/their true alien form has several eyes. He/she/they uses two to see. The other two or three eyes are more supportive or extra sensory. Letting him/her/them sense throughout the electromagnetic spectrum. Like ultraviolet, x-ray, radio, or thermal vision. Think of it like the eyes of a spider or any multi eyed organism.

They can fire overcharged oversized optic blasts from the eyes, energy blasts from the palms of their hands, & breath blasts from their mouth after absorbing extra solar radiation, lunar rays, or cosmic energy. 

Their eyes can fire chi vision, ectoplasm vision, freeze vision, ionic vision, laser vision, magic vision, plasma vision, radiation vision, & solar energy vision.

That is regular, divine, mythical, mythological, magical, discovered, undiscovered, extinct, living, aquatic, avian, terrestrial, extraterrestrial, demonic, imaginary, mythical, fictional, magical, futuristic, mystical, science fiction, & fantasy. So, he/she/they can shapeshift into any human, humanoid, semi-humanoid, beast, creature, monster, & animal regardless of any sex, any gender, any race, height, weight, body type, hair style, hair color, eye color, skin tone. He/she/they gained this ability as a teenager. 

He/she/they can transfigure into anything whether or not they are super powered or unpowered, any species, wearing or not wearing clothes, wearing armor or not wearing armor, & or whether they have or don’t have cybernetic or bionic enhancements. He/she/they can shapeshift into anything whether or not they have: scales, fur, feathers, horns, and wings. He/she/they can precisely imitate someone’s retinal pattern, finger prints, vocal patterns and copy their memories, mental thought patterns, finger palm patterns, skin pore patterns, skin, smell, vocal cords, emotional patterns, & repeating behaviors to fool anyone including the most powerful empaths and the most powerful telepaths. He/she/they gained this capability as a young adult.

Dolphins delight with return to B.C. waters but some see 'invasive species'

After 100 years of absence, large numbers of Pacific white-sided dolphins are back in the northern part of B.C.’s Salish Sea.

But while their return is being greeted by some with delight, the head of a commercial fisheries group is dismayed by the appearance of what he calls an “invasive species,” alongside increasing numbers of seals and sea lions.

Simone Thom, a BC Ferries catering worker, said she was thrilled to see a superpod of hundreds of Pacific white-sided dolphins frolicking in the wake of a ferry from Comox to Powell River last month.

Thom’s video of the thriller encounter was viral on social media. “It was truly magical to see them in their natural state doing their ballet,” said Thom. “I’ve lived here on the island pretty much my whole life and I’ve never seen this.”

So many dolphins in that particular area is rare, said Professor Andrew Trites, director of the Marine Mammal Research Unit at the University of British Columbia.

Although there are estimated to be one million Pacific white-sided dolphins, they are usually found in the open ocean.

Small numbers began to visit the Georgia Strait in the early 2000s, with about 100 to 200 eventually taking up residence in the Salish Sea, Trites said.

“We know they were here in the past,” Trites said. Their remains have been found in First Nations middens tracing back 2,000 years, but they all but disappeared for 100 years, he added.

“So that’s a strange thing, like where did they disappear and what brought them back?”

Their return coincides with an increase in the number of seals, sea lions and transient killer whales that prey upon marine mammals.

Trites said one possible explanation was that through complex food web interactions, the increase in the number of seals may lead to more young herring for dolphins to feed on.

“Before this time, we had heavy culling of seals. There was whaling. We’ve come through a period of removing marine mammals and trying to control nature. And now, since they’ve been protected, I think the ecosystem is re-establishing itself and re-establishing a natural balance which is healthier overall.”

Others vehemently disagree. “These dolphins are here because the balance in the waters is off,” said Tom Sewid, a commercial fisherman from Kwakwaka’wakw First Nation. He said the dolphins are “an invasive species” driven into these waters by driftnet fleets.

As for the increasing number of seals and sea lions over the past fifty years, Sewid said it was another example of how the ocean is out of balance.

“We’ve forgotten our Indigenous ways of harvesting seals and sea lions, and in those areas, we’re seeing massive overpopulation,” he said, adding that he believed the overpopulation of seals and sea lions was a major contributor to the depletion of salmon stocks.

Sewid is the president of Pacific Balance Marine Management, an organization seeking to protect salmon and other fin fish stocks from being “eaten into extinction,” by redeveloping a First Nations-led commercial seal and sea lion harvest.

He said a series of fisheries ministers had “basically ignored” their requests. Sewid said he addressed federal Fisheries Minister Joyce Murray at last month’s first-ever Seal Summit, a two-day conference for stakeholders in the seal industry.

“I said, ‘Come hell or high water, coastal First Nations and river First Nations of British Columbia, we will get a licence to sell our seal and sea lion products,” he announced. He said he would take the issue to the courts if necessary.

B.C. First Nations are currently allowed to harvest seals and sea lions for food, social and ceremonial purposes. Sewid says permitting the sale of fur, omega-3 supplements, meat and other products would create 4,000 jobs and allow finfish populations to recover.

In the past three years, Pacific Balance Marine Management has provided gift cards to First Nations harvesters to purchase bullets.

Sewid estimated that thousands of seals had been removed for food, social and ceremonial purposes from rivers, lakes and estuaries. He said salmon numbers were increasing in some systems as a result.

Stomach samples were taken for research purposes, and meat and blubber were checked for toxins.

Sewid said he would submit a harvest proposal to Murray, and wants a quota set for seals and seal lions.

He estimates an annual harvest of 5,000 to 10,000 seals would be sustainable. According to Fisheries and Oceans research documents, there are approximately 40,000 sea lions and 105,000 seals in all of B.C.

Carl Walters, professor emeritus at the University of British Columbia’s Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries, sees the potential for a substantial First Nations-led seal and sea lion harvest based on historical data and modelling predictions. He presented his findings in early December to the Senate committee on fisheries and oceans.

“It’s wrong to think things are coming into balance. OK, even if they are, why do we have to accept that kind of balance? Why do we have to accept a balance that has a top-heavy food web with a really large number of ugly, nasty blubberballs hauled out on the rocks?” he asked.

He said a 50 per cent reduction of the seal and sea lion population over two to three years would yield the maximum sustainable yield of seals and sea lions, while rebuilding the Georgia Strait salmon fishery to about half what it was at its peak in the 1980s.

“If it were up to me, we’d knock them down to about 20 per cent of their current level. We’d accept a lower harvest for that population, because the benefits to the fishery would be so much larger.”

He said there’s no doubt that seals and sea lions are consuming salmon, but it’s not clear if they are actually eating “dead fish swimming” — older or diseased fish that were about to die anyway.

The only way to know for sure, he said, would be to conduct a large-scale experiment to reduce the population by half, and assess the impact on salmon stocks over 10 years.

He said he was “completely confident that there will not be a big food web effect.”

“We had a 60-year period from 1920 to 1980 where seal populations were low in the Georgia Strait,” he said. “We had a huge long experiment if you like, and nothing happened wrong in the ecosystem. In a way, we’d be returning a system to the state that showed really high productivity. It’s a no-brainer.”

But Trites warned that such an experiment would be a “huge gamble.” “The risk of running such an experiment is that you’re playing with life.”

Trites said seal and sea lion numbers had been stable for 25 years, something inconsistent with overpopulation or a population out of balance. Present numbers were similar to what they were in the 1880s, when Europeans first arrived, he said.

“I don’t see any evidence that if the seals are removed, you’re going to see more salmon,” he said.

Researchers had found that juvenile salmon were dying in the open ocean at higher rates.

“The seals are not in the open ocean,” Trites said. “Something else is out there.”

He said there were “generational differences in values” regarding attitudes toward seals and sea lions.

“Those that grew up in the ’50s and ’60s saw a world where man dominated and we removed the marine mammals and that was just fine,” he said.

“What I see with the current generation of young scientists is they’re concerned about conservation. They’re concerned about keeping ecosystems healthy, and it’s not about resource extraction. In the end, it’s just a difference of values.”

In a written response to questions, the Fisheries Department said it worked with First Nations on plans to harvest small amounts of seals and sea lions. These amounts will be used for food, social and ceremonial purposes.

It confirmed it had received a few proposals for a commercial seal and sea lion harvest. A review is typically a multi-year process taking into account ecosystems, biodiversity and harvest methods, it said.

“Commercial fisheries are not to be used as a tool to control populations,” the department said. “There is a high degree of scientific uncertainty regarding the extent of pinniped 1/8 seal and sea lion 3/8 predation on wild fish stocks.”

One Piece: Marco/Ace ft BDSM AU that works slightly like real life and slightly like fantasy

Dominant or dominant leaning switches prefering things that allow them a certain measure of control. An almost at times primal instinct to avoid being weak or dependent on someone else. Prone to outbursts or anger issues if they aren't able to give into their desires on a semi regular basis. Most dominants are not power hungry, although some are. Most just prefer to be self sufficient, or find a place where they feel respected.

Submissive or submissive leaning switches are more comfortable with not always being in charge. A higher risk of anxiety and depression if they aren't able to give into those desires on a semi regular basis. The amount depends on the person but just because they might be able to go long periods without it doesn't mean it's healthy. Submissives are not weak, although some are. They just get comfort and relax through different ways. Most do just fine with a steady partner or bonded that can help them settle when needed.

I want to stress that not all dynamics have to be sexual. Platonic bdsm is totally normal and Marco is the only one Ace does more with.

I think in this AU that most submissives would have been captured for slaves or killed. There are of course ones that are free and happy but it's not super common unfortunately. Think like mermaids? If one is caught, they usually end up somewhere for sale or worse.

That stems from a combination of superstitions that submissives at sea were bad luck and the greed of those with power and wealth.

Ace saying a huge fuck you to everyone and everything when he sets out to sea. The thin, black collar that is used to mark an unclaimed submissive around his neck like a badge of honor.

No shame on his face when the marines take the info and run with it. Offering a huge reward for the submissive daring to spit in their face and challenge them.

Slowly a crew forming under him, respecting him because of who he is and not in spite of it.

The whitebeard pirates still wanting him to join but having no idea how to really treat him. Not many crews have experience with submissives, especially unmated ones.

The first one to try to anything immediately regretting the decision and making it clear what Ace expected from them.

Nothing.

But as he stays on their ship, eventually accepting their mark and joing the family, he slowly settles.

Letting his shoulders relax, no longer bunched up in an attempt to help cover this neck.

People slinging their arms around his shoulders would no longer result in near death.

The way the prettiest blush spreads over freckled cheeks and how he ducks his head when he gets genuinely praised or dotted on.

He lets them come up behind him, turns his back to them without letting his flames lick up his spine in warning.

The first time he bares his neck without immediately guarding it again was sitting beside the rail after a tough fight, resting his head back on it. Skin slick with sweat and blood splattered like paint across his throat. Everyone pausing for a minute because this was huge. The best thing he could offer them really. A sign of trust and care that surpassed even him getting the tattoo. With his eyes closed and catching his breath, he was as relaxed as he could be and completely settled in their presence.

And that sets off a series of events.

Ace being more affectionate with the whole crew. The commanders especially slowly being drawn in by Ace.

Small things at first like Ace letting them touch him more and then bigger things.

The first time he went to Marco after a battle, wanting comfort and craving submission after having lost some of his division, had ended in a fiery miscommunication.

After lots of yelling, avoidance, and fear that Ace was going to turn back into the angry mess he used to be, things were explained and discussed.

Ace usually going to Marco when he needed something but also letting the other commanders in as well.

Letting Thatch hand feeding him when he comes back several pounds lighter after long missions. The action helping to settle the desire to care for with Thatch and the desire to be cared for with Ace.

Vista sparing with him and pinning him in a way that makes Ace completely limp. Body going loose with happiness at the weight and feeling safe under the other man's bulk.

Izo making Ace keep still while he does his make up. Giving soft praises as Ace listens to him and Izo carefully applies the make up. Sky grey eyes hazy when they open up later, black kohl lining them and Izo know this will be a more regular occurrence. Especially when the others see.

But Marco is the one Ace keeps going to.

The one he lets at his neck without hesitation. Calloused fingers and wide palms pressing against the most vulnerable area he has.

The one he goes to when his skin is too tight and too loose somehow at the same time. The wild, hateful thing in him rearing its head and he gets all tangled in it.

The one he climbs into bed with. Slipping under a heavy arm and curling up with happiness against a warm body.

The one he eventually lets run fingers under the old black collar and take it off. Skin pale like snow where the collar had rested for years before being cover in something personal.

A soft, beautiful thing that makes Ace feel spoiled. Indigo blue and Whitebeards mark threaded small in the back. Phoenix carefully stitched on the inside and against his skin.

Charley Reese's Final column!

A very interesting column. COMPLETELY NEUTRAL.

Be sure to Read the Poem at the end..

Charley Reese's final column for the Orlando Sentinel... He has been a journalist for 49 years. He is retiring and this is HIS LAST COLUMN.

Be sure to read the Tax List at the end.

This is about as clear and easy to understand as it can be. The article below is completely neutral, neither anti-republican or democrat. Charlie Reese, a retired reporter for the Orlando Sentinel, has hit the nail directly on the head, defining clearly who it is that in the final analysis must assume responsibility for the judgments made that impact each one of us every day. It's a short but good read. Worth the time. Worth remembering!

545 vs. 300,000,000 People

-By Charlie Reese

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?

Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?

You and I don't propose a federal budget. The President does.

You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.

You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.

You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.

You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one President, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.

I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.

I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a President to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.

Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.

What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits.. ( The President can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.)

The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House?( John Boehner. He is the leader of the majority party. He and fellow House members, not the President, can approve any budget they want. ) If the President vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to. [The House has passed a budget but the Senate has not approved a budget in over three years. The President's proposed budgets have gotten almost unanimous rejections in the Senate in that time. ]

It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.

If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.

If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red.

If the Army & Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan it's because they want them in Iraq and Afghanistan ..

If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.

There are no insoluble government problems.

Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power.

Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.

Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible. They, and they alone, have the power.

They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses. Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees... We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!
