as for request… don’t want to make you busy with added on work honestly 😅 but if that’s what you want, here’s some silly lil idea for a miggy prompt: he and his “only recently started to date” shy gf that secretly wants to constantly hold his hand but always restricts herself bc apparently he isn’t a fan of pda and usually seems like he doesn’t want to be touched and she doesn’t want to make him uncomfortable so she just stands quiet and awkwardly zones out on his hands most of the time🧍‍♀️ 😁

bbg i'm so sorry i took so long but life was hitting me hard and now i'm finally on holidays and have time to write yeyyy!!!

i'm sorry that this year is a sad one for you bestie, i sincerely hope your life gets better in every way possible ! <333 (i wanted to make this cute so i hope you'll like it)

summary : wanting to hold miguel's hand content warnings : none, really it's just fluff and maybe reader being a bit of an overthinker ? fem!reader, no use of Y/N word count : 1,2k (not proofread, english is not my first language c:)

Miguel's long, thick fingers ran as usual over one of the many orange holopads that made up his workspace. His middle finger was clearing a problem here, his ring finger was shifting a pop-up message from Lyla to the middle of the main screen there, and his pinkie was tracing under a line that was just a little too small as he frowned in the hope of being able to read it better.

The whole of his hand curled up like a spider's legs as he pinched his chin between his thumb and forefinger, immersed in his thoughts and in the countless machinations of the mind that he had to maintain day and night.

As for you, your gaze was focused on his hands. Large, powerful, whose callus, hidden by his gloves, hadn't known its own age for a long time already. Security and envy bickered under your eyes, while your mind was obsessed with a single thought: taking his hand in yours.

You hadn't been with Miguel very long, and to be honest, it felt like the idea of 'being' with him was much more about being there next to him than it was about being a couple.

Of course he loved you, you knew that. There was something gratifying and touching about the fact that, despite all the work he had to do and the little sleep he got every night, he still managed to find time to think about you. 

But you couldn't help it, Miguel was a hard-working man, who didn't have a love of work as such, but he had the drive and determination to force himself to keep working.

Yet, despite the fact that everything between you was so recent, you couldn't stop thinking about the simple fact of holding his hand.

It's ridiculous, you thought, to want something as childish in such an obsessive way. But was it really so ridiculous? After all, every couple holds hands on a daily basis.

You understood that his work took up most of his time, but surely a gesture like this can't be that time-consuming? 

Waiting for such a small gesture made you sigh.

Was it perhaps due to the fact that Miguel was not very public in his approaches? Admittedly, he was very traditional, and that must surely have been one of the reasons why public hand-holding hadn't yet emerged in the relationship.

But you were particularly afraid, because one of the reasons Miguel hadn't taken the first step in this respect was undoubtedly that his image as a social boss would take a hit, which led you to the horrible thought:

Were you an embarrassment to him? Something preferably hidden that could not be loved in the eyes of all?

You quickly cleared this idea from your mind like a broom clears dust, only it can't help but leave a few too small to clear.

Fearing that this thought was overtaking your imagination, you decided to get up. It was already well into the night, but you wanted to keep him company, so you stayed close to him until you sometimes fell asleep on his desk.

"I'll be back, just gonna grab a coffee" you said before stepping off the platform and leaving the room.

Miguel couldn't help watching you walk until you disappeared into the shadows, his eyes attentive.

"For the love of a good woman, Miguel, take her hand!" Lyla finally shouted once you were completely out of earshot to have any chance of hearing her.

Miguel recoiled in surprise, as if a wasp had approached his face. His forehead was furrowed, eyebrows arched, and his lips were parted, waiting for the words to do their job and speak.

"What do you mean?" he asked, now completely out of his work, his eyes riveted on Lyla.

"I know your lack of spidersenses deprives you from seeing or sensing certain things, but I didn't know you would be so blind from it."

"Will you quit mocking me and tell me what you mean?" he questioned, teeth clenched and voice low.

"She's been eyeing you all day!" Lyla nearly choked out as her arm swept round to point at your empty chair.

He cast his eyes towards the said seat, already missing your mere presence more than he'd thought possible. Had he actually been blind?

"Has she?" he asked, his voice approaching a whisper, his eyes still fixed on your seat.

"Miguel, she's been watching your hand like it's the only thing she's ever desired in her life." giggled Lyla.

He raised his hand to the level of his chest, observing it as if from a new angle.

The hint of a smile tugged at his lips on one side, "Has she?..."

"Look I don't know if you're playing the game of 'premarital eye contact is a sin' but hold her hand. She looked like a sad pup on her way out, poor thing."

The realisation was immediate, and all of a sudden Miguel felt like a complete idiot.

Since you'd made your relationship official, he'd barely made any physical contact whatsoever with you. But now he realised just how much this complete lack of attention had affected you, and felt deeply embarrassed. 

At first this had simply been because he didn't want to rush you or force you into anything, but once again the work had taken all his attention. Between the reports, the missions, the anomaly checks - no, it's too easy to blame your own mistakes on your work than on yourself.

"Is everything alright?"

He turned to you, paper cup full of forty-cent coffee from the vending machine in hand as you watched him, puzzled. Not because you'd heard him, as he'd surprisingly feared, but because you hadn't found him the way you'd left him: glued to his work.

He was touched by the sight, watching you from above with a surprised look on your face, just to see him away from his work for once.

No more excuses.

He climbed down from the platform, still under your astonished eyes, and put his hand on yours, holding the coffee. With the size of his hand, encompassing yours completely was an easy task. His thumb stroked the back of your hand gently, noting how your shoulders slumped under the gesture and a sigh of relaxation slipped out, hitherto lodged in your chest.

"I think we should call it a night," he said, taking the cup from your hand and placing it on the first surface around you, replacing its absence with his own hand.

Your palm and fingers were still warm from holding the drink, which made him smile slightly. 

You looked at him, surprised by his sudden change of heart. What could have caused him to finally realise all this delay?... It didn't matter now. Lacing your fingers with his, you both left the room.

"It took you long enough," you laughed softly as Lyla, in the distance, took a photo of the two of you with your backs to her, hands entwined.

Hello, I'm here for the Aura Game - thanks for your time and have a good day! Emojis: 🍰🎨

Hello 🍰🎨! Thanks for playing! Your cards are Before Winter (dark orange) along with the Strength card. Your current aura is cozy, laid back, but also a bit held back by nervousness. I'm sensing a need to feel grounded. You may enjoy wrapping yourself up in large blankets? I'm picturing pillow forts and plush couches. I'm also imagining large mugs filled with coffee, cocoa, and/or tea. You may enjoy Autumn/Halloween season a lot and are current waiting for it. There may also be something from the previous year that is budding its head up to be resolved. You could be feeling restricted by something that was meant to be completed, but was left unfinished. As hard as this may sound, you might need to work through this dilemma if you want to feel cozier at home. Even if it's something you've been procrastinating on, it'll be way more relieving to just get it done, all set, and out of the way. Somehow, it'll allow you to feel more open in going out and socializing. You can't always choose to stay home just to work on something that gets put off anyway. It's like reboiling a kettle that never gets poured. It would be better to go out, if you're going to procrastinate, than to stay in one place and chew on it while it goes nowhere. It will at least give you a chance to refresh. Getting it done = more comfort at home and more freedom to venture beyond comfort zones.

hi hi!! hope u are doing well<33 I’d like a matchup if that’s okay!

Fandom: haikyuu

matchup: impatient, funny, talented, polite

Drabble/detail: 🍊 orange<3

tysm and take as much time as u need<3!

hi hi hi so happy to finally be getting to yours ehehe! 😝

i would match you up with MIYA ATSUMU. i think you share some similarities that would work well - namely a good sense of humour and a focus on achievement & excellence. he can be impatient but also steadfast in seeing things through - so i'd describe him more as fast-paced, which i think you would come to appreciate. now where you're opposites is where it comes to politeness! he's brash and sometimes says the most uncalled-for things - so while you may be at each others' throats at first, i think you would come to bond over shared interests or experiences. in that sense, he could take you out of your comfort zone, and i think that you could help ground him without making him feel restricted. expect a lot of teasing and banter when you're with him - he'd love every second of it with you!

lil' fluffy drabble under the cut for you!

❀ LIKE AUTUMN

how atsumu feels for you is how he feels about autumn

and not in the way that everything dies and it becomes winter

no, instead - what began as a couple leaves floating gently to the ground became a flurrying storm of said leaves in the brightest of colours

in short, he's fallen for you

bad pun, right? well, it's what he says to you on a walk home from class, picking up the biggest, most colourful leaf he could find and presenting it to you

you cackle, taking the leaf and giving him a joking curtsy while he's giggling at how evil your laugh had sounded

the two of you had a bit of an unexpected friendship, but always seemed to be on the same wavelength - even flirting with each other, toeing unspoken boundaries

it was good fun for him at first - but when had it turned into something more?

he shakes the thoughts from his head,

"so? how's the new project you're working on coming along?"

you shrug, "nicely, i guess" - he always thinks that you're being far too modest

"what i wouldn't do to have your sort of talents."

"hey, like you're one to talk with volleyball! it comes from hard work, y'know?"

he smiles, knowing you're like him in some ways - driven in whatever you're passionate about at the time, learning quickly and always looking ahead & envisioning

you don't usually ramble with people, but with him, you're comfortable - he's lost in thought watching words fall from your lips with brightness in your eyes

"hello? earth to atsumu?"

he snaps out of his trance with a huh?

"always so impolite," you huff, "but i wanted to know if you wanted to watch a halloween movie tonight!"

he's surprised - usually he's the one taking initiative in asking you to do something.

"what are we thinkin', then? horror? nostalgia?"

"you pick the genre, i pick the movie?"

he nods in agreement, and in a moment of bravery, takes your hand

you're a bit taken aback, but when you give his hand a squeeze in return, a look of adoration crosses his face that you've never seen before. he grins,

"well, let's not be late to our date then"

ahhhh i had to do something with fall since you gave me author's choice and i'm feeling the vibes right now haha! hope you enjoyed and thanks for your patience! 🍂

This person is i-n-t-o-x-i-c-a-t-i-n-g, my friend. They are trouble, you know it, yet you'll never get enough of it. You won't even know what you're doing, where you're going, what's real and what isn't, because you can only see them. There are shivers going down your spine, butterflies in your stomach. If you've been a goody two shoes so far, that is about to change once you two come together! They're not troublemakers; they're just free! This is the person who voices the thoughts everybody else wants to express but won't due to fear or shame. They live life to the fullest, and regret nothing. "Oh, what a nuisance. Come, come, come out to play" - this person will pull you out of your comfort zone, make all of your fantasies come true, and help you free yourself from the restrictions you/family values/education/culture/etc have build around you. This energy is so, so bright and hot! Red, orange and yellow! They might have the shiniest black hair you've ever seen; body wise, I see them being lean and medium to tall height.

(I just felt like they were messing with me the whole time 🙃 this person would drive me insane, for sure lol)

I've made these dragons into a Sticker Pack on Redbubble, however, their significance runs deeper than mere colorful silhouettes!

Scarlet's Quest: A Deal with the Demon takes a portion of Scarlet's story at a place called Dragon's Keep. The book only touches the surface of dragon culture, but there is a vast world I've been building around the enigmatic beings. Although the dragons have human-passing figures, they also have their 'true form.'

The Flameborn are those who currently dwell at Dragon's Keep, and they are categorized by their coloring.

Greens - most common - Known for their beauty. They are malleable in their positions they hold, but usually tend toward service work, entertainment, or supporting roles.

Brown - common - Known for their endurance. Their scale patterns unique, and they work in construction. Due to their unique and hard scale setup, they do not get impacted scales.

Yellow/Gold - common - Known for laid back nature. Yellow and gold dragons tend field work, animal care, and harvest work.

Red - somewhat common - Known for boisterous personalities. Their scales are unique, like brown dragons, however theirs tend to stand more erect when growing out. This can make them appear 'spiky.' They also have hard scales, and work in construction.

Orange - somewhat common - Known for creativity. They do not have hard scales like the reds and browns, but tend to work in supporting roles like architecture, mosaic work, furniture making, etc. Often joked as being the 'brains' of the brawny dragons.

Purple - somewhat uncommon - Known for their intellect. They tend to be in positions of teaching, doctoral/veterinary care, plant identification, and scholarly work.

Blue - somewhat uncommon - Known for their aerodynamic abilities. They are incredibly fast and agile when airborne, and hold jobs at the Patrol. Their keen senses are necessary for ensuring the borders of Dragon's Keep do not get invaded by Feral Dragons or Harpies.

Black - rare - Known for their nurturing work, they only have one position--and that is to work at the Incubation Bay. Black dragons have body temperatures that run higher than the others, making them well-suited for the deathly hot chambers where the dragons keep their eggs. They have a laundry list of restrictions on them because of their lineage, and the rate of which they go Feral. Ecrieyos and Myrkof are both black dragons.

If you're interested, here's the link to the book.

I made this art as a representation of a part of the coloring system the dragons have. In certain areas, they have signs with painted dragons to indicate if it is safe for that color to be there. Such as, in the construction zones, only red and brown dragons are safe to be there because their scales are harder than all the other dragons.

Anyway, thanks for taking a gander!

When to Visit Tadoba: A Tiger Lover's Guide

A wildlife tour is one of the most exciting travel options for adventurous travelers as well as nature lovers. Tatoba Andhari National Park is one such tiger reserve that is a must-visit wildlife destination. Let me tell you, planning a trip to Tadoba National Park is like planning a rendezvous with the wild. The question is, when do you make this rendezvous? When is the best time to visit Tadoba? Well, let's break it down season by season.

Summer: The Tiger's Playground

I visited Tadoba in the scorching summer months, and let me tell you, it was an absolute thrill! The park transforms into a tiger's playground during this time. With the temperature soaring, the animals are more likely to congregate around water bodies, making spotting them easier. I've seen tigers lazing around in the open, taking a dip in the lake, or stalking their prey in broad daylight. It's a fantastic time for wildlife photography too, with the clear skies providing excellent lighting conditions.

However, be prepared for the heat! It can be quite intense, so carry plenty of water, wear light, breathable clothing, and apply sunscreen generously.

Winter: Nature's Embrace

If you prefer a more comfortable climate, winter is a great time to visit Tadoba. The weather is pleasant, making it ideal for exploring the park on foot (only where nature walk is allowed in the buffer zones). While tiger sightings might be a bit less frequent compared to summer, the park comes alive with other wildlife. You'll spot deer, wild boar, and various bird species in abundance.

The winter months also offer a unique opportunity to witness the park's transformation. The landscape is adorned with a fresh coat of green, and the air is crisp and clean. However, it is very cold during the peak winter season, so be well prepared for the intense cold with all the woolen clothing and cold creams.

Monsoon: A Lush Retreat

I have experienced Tadoba during the monsoon; it's a magical time in the park I must say. The park transforms into a lush green paradise, teeming with life. While tiger sightings might be challenging due to the dense vegetation, the monsoon brings its own charm. You can witness the park's rejuvenation, enjoy the soothing pitter-patter of rain, and explore the surrounding areas. However, safaris are restricted to safe regions only as many parts of the forest are inaccessible due to water-logging and muddy routes. But if you are a pure wild nature lover, then this is the best season for you.

Beyond the Safari

While the safari is undoubtedly the highlight, there's more to Tadoba than just wildlife. Explore the nearby villages to experience the local culture and savor authentic Maharashtrian village cuisine. You can also indulge in some peaceful moments by the lake, watching the sun paint the sky in hues of orange and pink.

Remember, no matter when you visit, Tadoba is a place that will leave you spellbound. So pack your bags, embrace the wild, and get ready for an unforgettable adventure!

Understanding Barricade Tape Regulations: What Every Professional Should Know

Introduction to Barricade Tape Regulations

Barricade tape is a crucial tool in safety management across various industries, from construction to event planning. It serves to alert individuals to hazards and restricted areas, ensuring safety and compliance with regulations. Understanding the specific regulations surrounding barricade tape is essential for professionals in these fields, as it can help mitigate risks and enhance safety protocols.

Importance of Compliance with Regulations

Compliance with barricade tape regulations is not merely a matter of following the rules; it is vital for the safety of workers and the public. Non-compliance can lead to accidents, injuries, and even legal repercussions. Professionals must be familiar with local, state, and national regulations governing the use of barricade tape. This knowledge not only ensures safety but also reflects a commitment to professionalism and ethical responsibility.

Types of Barricade Tape

Barricade tape comes in various types, each serving a distinct purpose. The most common types include:

Warning Tape: Usually yellow or orange, warning tape indicates potential hazards such as construction zones or overhead dangers.

Caution Tape: Typically black and yellow striped, caution tape signifies areas that require attention but may not be immediately dangerous.

Restricted Area Tape: Often red and white, this tape denotes areas that are off-limits to unauthorized personnel.

Understanding these distinctions is critical for professionals who need to select the appropriate tape for their specific applications.

Regulatory Standards and Guidelines

Various organizations establish standards for barricade tape usage. For instance, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) provides guidelines for safety in the workplace. These regulations specify the colors, sizes, and materials of barricade tape, ensuring that they are easily recognizable and durable.

In addition to OSHA, professionals should also consult local regulations, which may have specific requirements based on the region or industry. Staying informed about these standards is essential for effective compliance and safety management.

Selection of Barricade Tape

Choosing the right barricade tape involves several considerations. Professionals must assess the tape’s visibility, durability, and suitability for the specific environment. For example, tape used in outdoor construction sites must withstand harsh weather conditions, while tape used in indoor settings may prioritize visibility over durability.

Furthermore, it is crucial to select tape that adheres to regulatory standards. This may include specifications regarding color, width, and material. By ensuring that the selected tape meets these criteria, professionals can enhance safety and compliance.

Installation and Usage Guidelines

Proper installation and usage of barricade tape are vital for its effectiveness. Professionals should follow these guidelines:

Visibility: Ensure the tape is positioned where it can be easily seen. This may involve placing it at eye level or using multiple strips to create a clear boundary.

Height and Length: Tape should be strung at an appropriate height to deter entry. The length should adequately cover the restricted area without gaps.

Maintenance: Regularly inspect barricade tape for wear and tear. Damaged tape should be replaced immediately to maintain clear boundaries.

Long Island City Neighborhood Plan Meeting Explores Housing Challenges

In a recent Long Island City Neighborhood Plan Focus Area meeting, residents and city planners discussed how current zoning regulations influence the development of new housing in the area. The session, held remotely and hosted by the NYC Department of City Planning, highlighted several critical issues surrounding residential zoning and its impact on the local housing market.

The community meeting underscored the existing zoning framework, illustrating that while residential zones are designated for housing, commercial zoning restrictions vary significantly. The zoning map reveals regions designated for manufacturing (purple), residential use (yellow), and a special mixed-use zone (orange). A notable point made during the meeting was that the current zoning cannot regulate commercial business rents or dictate specific types of businesses within the designated commercial spaces. It has the power to limit certain large commercial developments, but that does not extend to residential growth opportunities [(source)](https://youtu.be/2mhNPKBj1Co&t=1943">https://youtu.be/2mhNPKBj1Co&t=1943">https://youtu.be/2mhNPKBj1Co&t=1943">https://youtu.be/2mhNPKBj1Co&t=1943).

Participants were particularly focused on the area's existing land use and zoning regulations, which include several residential lots within the manufacturing zones. Many buildings in these lots were built prior to the current zoning laws or are operating under special variances. This overlap has led to a complex landscape where proactive community-driven rezoning could potentially support higher densities and more diverse housing options to meet local demand [(source)](https://youtu.be/2mhNPKBj1Co&t=1943">https://youtu.be/2mhNPKBj1Co&t=1943">https://youtu.be/2mhNPKBj1Co&t=1943">https://youtu.be/2mhNPKBj1Co&t=1943).

City planners noted that community-wide rezoning efforts offer residents a chance to influence development patterns that better accommodate their needs. The proposed changes could allow for a more integrated approach to land use, enabling the neighborhood to plan for diverse and sustainable housing solutions that align with the desires and requirements of its residents. As such, the meeting served as an essential platform for voicing community needs and reimagining Long Island City’s housing landscape [(source)](https://youtu.be/2mhNPKBj1Co&t=1943">https://youtu.be/2mhNPKBj1Co&t=1943">https://youtu.be/2mhNPKBj1Co&t=1943">https://youtu.be/2mhNPKBj1Co&t=1943).

Jacobs' Journal: Tape #10 - Destination: D Class

<- Previous | Masterlist | Next ->

.

[START LOG]

Jacobs: (sigh) <hysterical> Well, that was probably the craziest thing I've done in my life.

Jacobs: Note to yourself: if I ever feel the need to round up another group of misfits to bring down a Site Director and his PMC, don't. enlist. the D-Class. I don't care how much help they'd be, or how far down the rabbit hole I've come. I am not risking my neck ever again for even one of these pricks!

Jacobs: (deep sigh) Hoo, I gotta catch my breath.

... *Jacobs walks away, takes several deep controlled breaths*

Jacobs: *grabs microphone and holds it too close to himself, causing his voice to be slightly louder, distorted and bass-boosted*

Jacobs: As much as it pains me to say it, I owe Aaron Chen my life.

[Rest bellow the cut]

Jacobs: The Major has helped me put the final pieces of the puzzle together when it all seemed doomed to fall apart. The day had come for him to deliver on his promise: Wilson Miles. Potentially the largest cornerstone in my plans, success rested on whether we could secure his support.

Jacobs: Lambert's had the kid locked up in High Security Zones for... well, forever. Places where my presence would seem intrusive. Even if i could make contact, Lambert has his claws dug so deep into miles that I'd need a hell of a convincing package to put together to tear away his allegiances. At least Chen's offer to tour me around some of the restricted areas on the basis of a false inquiry on behalf of the O-5 Council could get me close.

Jacobs: Once there, it was up to me to do the talking.

Jacobs: Little barren around here, isn't it?

Mjr. Chen: <exasperated> Don't get too into the role. You're acting like you're actually on some secret mission.

Jacobs: I am. Just... not the one lab that thinks I'm on.

Mjr. Chen: Apparently, I'm supposed to keep you from taking notes on anything "problematic". <amused> Rate my performance.

Jacobs: Easy assignment. 

Mjr. Chen: I'm not complaining. I'll take affirmative espionage action over pushing orange jumpsuits into the jaws of some stinky dinosaur anyway.

(keypad beep) *door opens* (faint keyboard clicking sounds)

Mjr. Chen: <sarcastically> After you.

Jacobs: (scoffs)

(footsteps, door close)

Jacobs: <quietly> Oof, chilly in here.

Mjr. Chen: Climate control, to keep the equipment cool. Hard to ventilate when you're a dozen miles underground.

Jacobs: Thanks, Major Obvious.

(keybord noises get more audible)

Jacobs: Is that him?

Mjr. Chen: (huff) That lump over there? Correct.

Mjr. Chen: … What are you waiting for?

Jacobs: I need to be careful how I approach this guy. Push too hard, he goes crying to Lambert, but don't push enough... I have nothing to hold over him.

Mjr. Chen: If you need a little persuasion, you could always say you know about the "thing".

Jacobs: What thing?

Mjr. Chen: (whispers)

Jacobs: <surprised> ...That'll work

(footsteps, beeping sound) (pencil scratches, typing stops)

Tech. Miles: Uh... can I help you? You're kind of standing a little close...

Jacobs: Name.

Tech. Miles: Um, I'm sorry?

Jacobs: Did I stutter? I said: Name.

Tech. Miles: *awkwardly* Oh, er, Miles. Technician Miles.

Jacobs: And do you have a first name? Or did your parents think it hilarious to have a child called "Technician"? 

Tech. Miles: Wilson. My name is-

Jacobs: What are you doing? (scribbling returns)

Tech. Miles: I'm-I'm working, I... excuse me, but are you assessing performance?

Jacobs: <sarcasticaly> No, I'm the social workplace fairy. Of course I'm assessing you! And I must say, your performance is quite poor indeed.

Tech. Miles: What?!

Jacobs: <incredulous> Look at all this trash! Since when is it appropriate to consume crisps anywhere near Foundation equipment.

Tech. Miles: Hey, it's not my fault! Management stuck me here and told me I couldn't even leave her food!

Jacobs: Oh, well isn't that convenient? I suppose management just lets you get away with slacking off on the job too?

Tech. Miles: Hey... Wait you're that guy. The one lambert said i shouldn't speak to! Wait till he hears about this! You're going to wish-!

Jacobs: What? <walks up to Miles> I'm going to wish... what?

Tech. Miles: You-you'll get in a lot of trouble,

that's all. I'm telling him now.

Jacobs: Fine. You do that, Technician Miles. (phone dialing sound) But the second you mention this, your little secret gets out.

Tech. Miles: What are you talking about?

Jacobs: "Unacquired taste". (dialing sounds stop) Isn't that how you justified liking them so much? "Just like any other kink".

Tech. Miles: (puts down the phone) H-how did-

Jacobs: You can worm your way into any position of power, but believe me when I say as a universal fact: no one is untouchable.

Jacobs: <disgusted> Lambert may turn a blind eye to a disgusting shit stain like you, but I drop what I know into the pocket of any law enforcement body and real-world you is a goner. You'll be tried, convicted, and sentenced faster than your typing speed. Who knows? Maybe we'd see each other again, except my suit would be black... and yours would be orange.

Tech. Miles: Please don't tell anyone. I have a life on the outside. I can't lose, it I can't!

Jacobs: If you want all this to never see the light of day, then you would better do everything and anything I tell you. No questions, no choices. Do you understand me?

Tech. Miles: Mm-hm.

Jacobs: You screw me, you won't live to see the consequences. But you play ball, and I'll scrub your record so clean, you'd think you were born again. Do you understand me?

Tech. Miles: Yes.

Jacobs: Any word of this reaches Lambert, or Hillard, or your goddamn pets, and I will use everything in my power to ensure every inch of you is destroyed. Do you understand?

Tech. Miles: Yes! Yes.

Jacobs: You take your orders from me now... Clean up this pink slime.

(footsteps) (door closes)

Jacobs: (sigh) <under breath, with disgust> Filth.

Mjr. Chen: People like him are a dime a dozen around here. You'd be amazed what's excused for the sake of productivity.

Jacobs: Not under my watch.

Mjr. Chen: There are people who are far better at covering their tracks than Wilson Miles. What makes you think that you'll find them all? 

Jacobs: It's not my concern. Right now, I need to come up with a way to get to D-Class undetected.

Mjr. Chen: Ah, yes, that predicament. I gave it some thought, and I believe there is a way to make it happen.

Jacobs: What did you have in mind?

Mjr. Chen: Well, that all depends? How good are you at growing a beard?

[click]

Jacobs: In point of fact, it took me slightly over a week to grow one in. (scratches it) I haven't had one of these since Bosnia, <voice gets shaky> and that was because a guide got us lost in the jungle for 13 straight days.

Jacobs: I covered my absence by faking an appendix removal, and met with chen at a secure location far away from Site 19.

Jacobs: I would have documented the events on my recorder, but Chen, quite rightly, pointed out that it would seem suspicious for a D-Class to be caught with prohibited items on their person. That's right. I was going undercover as a lab rat.

Jacobs: He'd overseen the arrival and segregation of the incoming D-Class personnel, and had also arranged that the four picks on my list of candidates would be sent to Site 19. Denton the smuggler Manning the CIA agent and Jacques and Nikolai the criminal masterminds. Although I'm not sure if you can retain "mastermind" if you've been caught.

Jacobs: I was processed under an alias in a center not too far from the Site. From there, I rode in the back of a cramped truck into the facility. It's strange, I must admit, entering my place of work from the perspective of a glorified tested dummy. Corralled like lambs to the slaughter. Pfff, lambs tempers.

Jacobs: Even here, I witnessed the odd fight break out. Tensions were high, and I'm pretty sure some willingly committed suicide by MTF. They were the smart ones. ...They threw us into a decontamination shower, scrubbed us down, then gave us medical examination. I made sure to be selected for the line of the medical examiner Chen had told me about: an old acquaintance of his called Reyes.

Jacobs: The doctor took false samples and scribbled in his recommendations that would place me with a certain group of D-Class. I thanked him, but before I left, he told me to tell chen that they were now even. He didn't seem too pleased at having done the favor.

Jacobs: I was shackled once more and taken directly to the Detention Level. When we reached the floor, my heart left into my throat. Directly ahead in our path, Colonel Hillard was closely inspecting the fresh stock. I was being forced towards her, and all I could do was hope I wasn't recognized. We passed within inches of each other. But thankfully, her attention was directed elsewhere.

Jacobs: I couldn't believe how close I had come, and for a moment I wished i was back in my office. It was... weak of me... and I quickly shook off the thought. Moments later, I was unceremoniously tossed into a cell. Hit my head on the floor, but was otherwise unscathed. My guests did not take to my presence kindly. Jacques was immediately suspicious with Nikolai backing him up. Denton antagonized from afar, while Manning just... stared at me. she was sizing me up, and I'm pretty sure she figured me out fast.

Jacobs: Jacques and Denton got into an altercation about what to do with me: one wanted me to prove my worth as part of the group, while the other wanted to kill me as a show of strength to the rest of the prisoners. I'll let you guess which one said which. When it seemed the tide was turning towards my early demise, Manning finally spoke up. "Let him talk." The others fell silent. She asked who I was, and I told her exactly that.

Jacobs: I explained that I required their assistance and that they would be handsomely rewarded for their services. Denton shot me down immediately, stating that he knew exactly how to handle life in prison. That there was no way I could do anything for them in here, and that I was just trying to save my own skin. "This is not some ordinary prison.", I said.

Jacobs: He should be able to see that.

The system doesn't work here. They weren't inmates, they weren't on anybody's register. None of them existed beyond this cell. They could take my offer or leave it, but the moment I walked out of that cell, they wouldn't get another chance to exist again. And finally, they started taking things sensibly.

Jacobs: I explained to them that at some point in the coming days, they would be taken to a room, and inside this room would be a man dressed as a plague doctor. They were not to get anywhere near to him, but to inform him that the time had come to meet the Site Director. He would understand. From there, they were to escort the doctor out of the room and give him protection until he had fulfilled his purpose. Oh, and to not let him anywhere near a corpse. I told them that upon completion of the task, once I had taken control of the facility, I would ensure their crimes were pardoned and records expunged.

Jacobs: Three were silent, but Nikolai broke the quiet. He asked, "Why don't we just turn you in? Knowing what you're up to must be worth something." I implored him to try. Once they had the information, there was no guarantee they'd be rewarded for it. I came to them, I had my own ass to cover, this meant I was obligated to honour my part of the deal.

Jacobs: Not entirely convinced. but... what choice did they have? I wasn't able to confirm their cooperation, as at that juncture, the cell door opened. I was whisked out by a couple MTFs who shoved me down the hallway. I asked where i was going and they kicked me forward. This wasn't meant to be happening. Chen was supposed to meet me and get me out. But, as I looked down in a joining hall, I saw what had held him up.

Jacobs: Hillard was talking to him. Chen glanced my way, a flash of concern on his face, but there was nothing he could do. I just have to play along and hope that wherever i was being taken it wasn't a death sentence. They took me deeper into Site 19, down to the SCP Containment levels. My hopes... were dashed. I recognized it immediately as the sector where we contained the Keter SCPs.

Jacobs: A group of scientists strapped a recorder to my belt, handed me a piece of paper, and instructed: "Read the phrases ,stay in the light", then shunted me into the containment area.

Jacobs: I managed to get a copy of what.. happened... thought about whether I should play it here, but... I think it's very telling us to the quality of treatment here at the facility.

Jacobs: Those bitty red eyes swam slowly closer, taunting me with the voices of the dead. I backed away. Finally realising where I had wound up, and wise still knowing exactly what was about to come. A monstrous claw strode into the light and, just as I had almost backed into the wall, something heavy grabbed me from behind. I was pulled back through the doorway and dragged into the observation room.

Jacobs: (huff) I had never been so happy to hear the sound of Chen's voice chastising the scientist in charge. He spouted some B.S. about how I hadn't been properly assessed yet, that management would have his head if they found out testing and jumped the gun, then took me personally from the sector explaining, "Someone's gotta do your job right."

Jacobs: I didn't say a word as we headed back upstairs. The encounter played over and over again in my head, but the stress helped me stay in character. I was running on adrenaline. We finally came to a storage closet where Chen had stashed my clothes. I changed as quickly as I could, neither of us had enough time before our absence would be noticed.

Jacobs: But just as we exited the closet, Hillard descended upon us. Chen played coy, pretending he'd found me here, and so she inquired as to what I was doing here when I should be at home. I told her I'd left my shaving kit in my quarters and she rightly pointed out that I wasn't anywhere near my quarters. That's when I snapped. I told her it was my job to inspect Foundation Operations regardless of if she or Lambert liked it or not.

If I find out you're no longer living up to that promise, I'll put a bullet in such a deep part of your brain you'll be sipping meals through a straw for the rest of your natural life."... Then she left.

Jacobs: Gotta give her credit, she sure knows how to drop a threat. That's when I heard Chen whisper "I can't wait to have her job." I wanted to laugh,... but I couldn't. I was still in shock, so... that's where Chen and I parted ways,... and I came here. Doubtful of this D-Class alliance, Hillard watching over my shoulder... one more memory to add to the PTSD pile. Lucky me.

Jacobs: Well... there is one positive out of all of this. I... (huff) can finally shave this damn beard off.
