Start-up launches new solar-powered, self-driving boats to clean up ocean waste

Hong Kong-based marine tech start-up Clearbot is set to launch a new generation of bigger solar-powered autonomous boats to boost its efforts to clean up polluted waters in India.

Clearbot's latest fleet of self-driving electric boats will each have the capacity to pick up around 500kg of plastic waste and other rubbish from the ocean when they are expected to be deployed in March. That is double the capacity of each of the company's current water-borne robotic cleaners operating in the seas and lakes of India.

The start-up founded by University of Hong Kong graduates is hoping to electrify the marine services industry, according to Utkarsh Goel, co-founder and chief technology officer.

"We want to build these boats that do this dirty, dirty job that is happening with [manned, diesel] boats around the world and automate them and make them more sustainable," said Goel in an interview.

Established in 2019, Clearbot started off as a student project to help Indonesian surfers clean up waterways efficiently, as locals were unable to deal with the flow of rubbish. The project led Goel and co-founder Sidhant Gupta to understand the demand for sustainable infrastructure in the marine services industry globally.

In the past year, Clearbot has deployed 13 boats which can each collect up to 250kg of plastic waste per day to tackle projects in Hong Kong and India, Goel said. The self-navigating electric vessels collect waste from the surface of the water and deposit it in designated areas for collection and recycling.

The Neon Project - Part One (Male Yautja x GN Reader)

Hi everyone! I had this idea in my head and thought it’d be pretty cool to write.  Let me know if you want to see a part two because I’d definitely be interested in continuing!

-

Summary: You probably shouldn’t have taken that job. Because, now, a Yautja demands your help... but, hey, at least you’re getting paid well. 

Content Warnings: none really, just lots of swearing, SFW

Strips of green neon lights lined the metal pathways and across the width of storefronts and apartment complexes, brightly reflecting off the tinted glass skyscrapers. Various sized ships drifted high overhead, following the holographic lines of designated pathways between the buildings, directing them to and from the docks or landing pads that jutted from the sides of the skyscrapers.

 At this time of night, the streets were quiet. The stores that closed late were dwindling in customers, the workers of which tidying their spaces in preparation. Red holograms flickered back and forth across the surfaces of the glass buildings, bearing the words ‘Human Only Territory’ in bolded letters.

 They suddenly began to flicker and change; the image morphed into the unsettling face of an old female android model, whose features still toed the line of the uncanny valley. It flashed a sweet grin, the shutters in its camera-like eyes adjusting. “Welcome to the Neon Light District. Here, the safety of our citizens is integral. Please make sure you are abiding by the laws and regulations as detailed on Section 3A of your Citizens First guidebook. As the time is now one hour past sun-down, routine shakedowns will now begin. Any and all persons found to be harbouring individuals of extra-terrestrial origin can and will be prosecuted. Thank you for your cooperation. And remember, if you hear the sirens, please evacuate to your nearest underground bunker immediately.”

 The hologram pixelated back into the ‘Human Only Territory’ sign. No one had turned to watch — it was the same announcement that they played day by day, once in the morning, and once at night, without failure.

 You were pulled from your ruminations as a robot council cleaner pulled straight in front of you. Its mechanical, pincer-like arms were held to its boxy middle as it rolled from the alley, its wheels whirring loudly. A few papers of propaganda flew from the over-filling built-in bin, drifting aimlessly through the air before landing by your feet.

 The silhouette of a cobra’s head was bracketed by two lines: ‘The Cobras: Venomous Intent’ and ‘Hey President Eustace: We Bite Back!’, and right at the bottom was: ‘Got a Code? Join Us Today!’.

 “Excuse me,” the robot beeped as it reversed towards you. Its mechanical arms reached out to suction the papers before dropping them back into the rubbish hole.

 You stepped around the knee-high thing and kept walking. Most of the others in the street had disappeared for the raids, most likely stowing away in those community safehouses that some people secretly ran. One had been busted the other day — you didn’t hear much, but you had heard that some folks were taken in. Community safehouses were meant to protect the homeless or the afraid, but since they were illegal, owning one or taking refuge in one was considered conspiracy against the government, thus sending those who didn’t escape into custody.

 The rules were ridiculous — bordering tyrannical, even. But it was the way of life on many planets now, such as the one you walked on now, Elysium. It was supposed to represent the future of human civilisation after years of such perseverance, but its way of life hadn’t been granted safety from the chains of war. It, too, had fallen to its knees during the government’s desperation to regain control in the long war against one of the Universal Powers — a few species that had existed and controlled the expanse of space since before than the birth of Homo sapiens.

 You turned down an alley just as a United Nations Space Military truck pulled onto the near-abandoned street. Taking this as your cue to hurry the fuck up, you quickened your pace towards the flashing neon sign at the end of the dark, narrow pathway. The closer you got to the green tree sign, the more the distant, thumping music became audible. You felt it deep in your bones and chest as you opened the side door.

 Hot air, alcohol, and sweat washed over you all at once. You almost keeled over at the disgusting stench that dared to burn your nostrils, but you kept your balance as the door slammed shut behind you. The music, now on the verge of bursting your eardrums, thumped around you like the world’s biggest speaker. Tight clusters of dancing people congregated on the dance floor, grinding their sweaty bodies against each other in drunken hazes. The tables were packed with bodies, most of which covered in a permanent haze of clouds from artificial drugs.

Strobing lights temporarily blinked the joint into darkness every few seconds. You curled your hands into tight fists as you glared through the mass of alternating colours, each flash making your gut clench with nausea. There was a bar backed with red neon lights, highlighting the silhouettes of shirtless bartenders pouring drinks for waiting customers.

 You tried not to take many deep breaths as you immediately turned to your right and zipped past a few tables of idling customers. A few eyed you up and down, their crooked and musty faces lightening with smugness as they watched you storm away. There was an archway amongst the right wall, where a layer of orange and red beads blocked the way through. You pushed them to the side and stepped into the hallway that stretched to your left.

 About halfway down stood a burly security guard with muscles larger than your head, the size of them almost bulging through the material of his fine suit. He stood patiently, with his thick hands clasped together in front of him.

 You paid him no mind as you walked past him towards the staff-only bathroom. Just as your fingers reached for the handle, a large hand quickly snatched the front of your shirt and pushed you back. The security guard had stepped forward, his scarred face sneering down at you.

 No words were exchanged, but you stared up at him with raised eyebrows. After a few seconds, the security guard grunted, and he relented his hold on your shirt. He stepped back.

 As if nothing had happened, you opened the door and stepped into the brightly lit bathroom, the lights buzzing above you. As soon as the door closed, the music outside ceased. You sucked in a deep breath before you approached the last stall, which was closed.

 After stepping inside, you pressed the flush button with your knuckle, and there was a low whirr from behind the toilet before the wall shifted. It rotated to the side, revealing a just as bright staircase leading down. The wall rotated shut behind you as you stepped in, and your shoes slapped noisily on the smooth concrete as you descended the steps.

 Right at the bottom sat a wooden door, the surface of it painted with the silhouetted head of a king cobra. You pushed it open to enter the small, boxy entrance, where another security guard stood, this time armed to the bone with enough weaponry to hold off a small army. He paid you no mind as the door slammed shut behind you, but the two whispering women in the corner did.

 There was another woman though. She was tanned, with swishing hair that reached her buttocks. Her defined muscles were covered in tattooed patchwork, and she bore two rings in her right eyebrow.

 “Took you long enough,” her voice was deep. You knew her only by the name Temperance. It wasn’t her real name, of course, it was after one of the major arcana of tarot. Other than that, you didn’t know much about her; you’d only worked together once before.

 “It’s not easy getting through the District,” you said. “Soldiers were everywhere in the west zone.”

 “Yeah. I heard talk of a safehouse bust,” Temperance said. She turned on her heel and began to lead you through past another set of beads and into the recreational room.

 “Another one?” You asked. That was two within a week. “Seems like they’re cracking down.”

 “Fletch is worried there are insiders.” Temperance pushed open a door, and they moved past an armoury and an indoor shooting range.

 “Wouldn’t surprise me,” you said. “So, what was the rush to get me here? I was about to go off planet, you know.”

 Temperance laughed. “Wait until you get a load of this,” she said. “Remember that job you took a few weeks ago?”

 “There were a few.”

 “The big one,” Temperance said pointedly.

 You shrugged nonchalantly. “Yeah. Why? They get busted, too?”

 “No.” Temperance clicked her tongue. “Better. Or worse. Depending on your perception.” They stopped at a locked door, and she turned to you, raising a finger. “Now, whatever you do, don’t panic. And be respectful, for fucks sake.”

 “Yes, captain,” you whispered as Temperance turned back around. The cut-out in her loose singlet revealed the twisting tattoo of a ferocious fire-breathing dragon, rippling and twisting with the flexing definition of her back muscles.

 The door opened, and, at a table, stood only two figures. One being Fletch, one of the men responsible for leading the Cobras. He’d spent years in prison for a crime in which he was falsely accused of; his time there having crafted a shell of who he used to be. Faded tattoos covered the expanse of his skin, most of which accumulated during his time behind bars. He was rough and tough, but he cared about his people — he wasn’t like the military or the government. He always said if he went to prison again, at least this time, it would be for something worthwhile.

 The other… individual standing by the table was of certain interest to you. He was massive, standing at around 7’5, his limbs and torso plated with shining armour and leather. Underneath those pieces, his hide was an unusual deep purple, with even darker stripes that were barely distinguishable up and down his frame. In the centre of his abdomen was a white diamond, which easily caught your attention amongst the monotonous palettes. He had a singular feline skull that rested above his codpiece, and a blank mask with words of an unfamiliar language etched across the surface.

 This was a Yautja, you knew that. It wasn’t your first time meeting one, but it would be the first time you’d meet one in a… favourable setting.

 “(Y/N),” Fletch said. “Nice to see you again.” He held his hand out towards the male Yautja, who’d stiffened and folded his arms across his bulky chest as you entered. “This is Hadt’yk’e. He’s an Arbitrator.”

 You could sense the hostility from the very moment you stepped inside. You only managed a nod toward Hadt’yk’e, who hardly acknowledged the gesture. Temperance rose her brows as she moved off to the side, sneaking you a knowing glance.

 “Why am I here?” You asked. You didn’t like the way you suddenly felt vulnerable under Hadt’yk’e’s scrutiny. In response, you, too, folded your arms across your chest.

 “I heard that you were allocated a job a few weeks ago. Right?” Fletch asked carefully, to which you nodded. Fletch turned to Hadt’yk’e, who jutted his chin at you.

 “Your temporary employers were Weyland-Yutani. Were they or were they not?” The Yautja asked in perfect, fluent English. His voice was deep and gravelly, accentuated with clicks on every harsh sound.

 “I can’t disclose that,” you said casually, which earned an unpleasant snarl. Fletch held up a placating hand.

 “In other circumstances, that would be correct,” he said. “But there are bigger things at stake. And as a Commander, I say it’s fine.”

 You almost rolled your eyes. You didn’t care who Hadt’yk’e was or what his title was or why he was here. You respected only the code of the Cobras; in doing so, you’d seen a lot of shit in your lifetime. This guy? Pfft. He wouldn’t kill you, therefore he didn’t scare you. But, alas, Fletch was an authority figure, and he was someone you respected.

 “Yes, they were,” you said plainly.

 “And what is your formal title for this… rebel group?” Hadt’yk’e asked. Oh. So, he was one of those Yautjas, then. It was clear to you that he’d never done dealings with the Cobras before — it wasn’t common for them to do business with a Yautja, but it did occur.

 “I’m a smuggler,” you said. You knew where this was going, and you had the perfect response crafted.

 “And what was it you were smuggling?”

 You just shrugged. “Dunno.”

 The response didn’t sit well with Hadt’yk’e. His muscles tensed, but he didn’t say anything else. After a second or two, he spoke again. “I will not ask again.”

 “Good. Because I don’t have an answer,” you said.

 “(Y/N),” Fletch said with an undertone of warning.

 You sighed. “I don’t know. I was just told it was special cargo, and that I had to be careful and quick.” You weren’t lying. Weyland-Yutani performed a lot of shady shit, and the only ways for them to discreetly transport precious cargo from one facility to the next was through Cobra smugglers, i.e., you. It was the only job you’d ever been allocated from that company. The payout had been decent.

 “Where did you deliver this cargo?” Hadt’yk’e asked immediately after.

 “Some designated meetup point in this District,” you said.

 Hadt’yk’e rumbled. “Where?” He reiterated.

 “I can’t remember. But it was on one of the landing pads in the east zone,” you said. “That’s all I know. Can I leave now?”

 “No,” Fletch said. “We have reason to believe that precious cargo of yours was actually a Yautja. And Hadt’yk’e needs him back.”

 You blinked. “Right,” you said slowly. So, what? They wanted you to smuggle yourself into a Weyland-Yutani facility, find an entire fucking Yautja, and somehow smuggle him out without anyone noticing? What a fantastic idea. “And how is this my problem?”

 “Because you are the one responsible for handing him over.” Hadt’yk’e’s voice was stern. He still hadn’t moved, eerily enough. “Now, you will be responsible for getting him out.”

 “You’re an Arbitrator. Isn’t that your job?” You asked incredulously. God, you’d been right! These guys are fucking lunatics!

 “There’s a problem,” Fletch said. “No one here knows of any Weyland-Yutani facility anywhere on this planet. But, from your information, it must be around this District somewhere. These facilities are basically impenetrable.”

 “Great. Good thing you’re trained for that, right, Hadt’yk’e?” You asked, turning towards the Yautja, who just stared at you.

 “You aren’t funny,” he said.

 “I didn’t say I was,” you quipped. “I don’t understand why you think I can be of any help.”

 “You’re probably the only person on this planet that Weyland-Yutani will trust,” Fletch said. He rested his palms against the side of the table. “So, you’re probably the only person who’ll be able to find them.”

 You wanted to argue. The last thing you wanted was to closely work with a Yautja — one who blamed you for this situation, no less. You couldn’t see how it was your problem; your job was literally to smuggle shit, mostly confidential, from one place to another. It was just a source of income, with a nice added slice of protection from the Cobras.

 Hadt’yk’e didn’t like the idea any more. If he could do this on his own, he would. But Weyland-Yutani had learnt from previous encounters, making his job harder. Although he wasn’t opposed to working with humans, he didn’t particularly like the feeling of asking for help.

 “Do you still have their contact information?” Fletch asked.

 “It was a proxy,” you said, shrugging. “And the channel was disabled after the deal was done.”

 “Send me their information,” Hadt’yk’e said. “And the channel. I can decrypt the data.”

 You stared between the two of them before briefly looking at Temperance, who was bobbing her head to the music that played through her old-age, blocky headphones. You turned back. “So, what? What do I do with this?”

 “Well, once we establish contact—” Fletch started.

 “If we establish contact,” you interrupted.

 Fletch glared. “Whatever. If we establish contact, you can be the one that gets in. You’ll be Hadt’yk’e’s eyes.”

 “They don’t trust me,” you said. “And besides, you need a facial profile to get clearance into any government facility. And last time I checked, I don’t have one.”

 If Weyland-Yutani didn’t front as some giant engineering corporation, there wouldn’t be any problems infiltrating their place as a human. But facial recognition data patrolled their facilities like a pack of wolves to its prey. The questionable stuff happened under the surface, but you had never really cared to know. They’d never been on your radar, and the ship that you’d bought was independently crafted.

 “That’s what Temperance is for.” Fletch gestured towards the woman in the corner, who threw up a lazy gesture when she clocked the attention was on her.

 You turned to Hadt’yk’e, who was already staring at you. “Alright.” You nodded. “I smuggle you in, and I expect some sort of payment. What have you got?”

 Hadt’yk’e had been expecting this. He jutted his chin at her, the curves of his mask catching the low lighting. “Are universal credits sufficient?”

 “Are they traceable?”

 “No.”

 You nonchalantly half-shrugged. “Ten thousand.”

 “Eight.”

 “I’m not going any lower,” you said. “I’m already risking my ass for shit that’s not even my problem.”

 “It is your problem,” Hadt’yk’e said.

 “Ten thousand, and if you think that’s negotiable, I want an extra grand for every time you inconvenience me,” you said with an unimpressed tone.

 Hadt’yk’e bristled for a brief moment. He untensed his muscles — he wouldn’t let this get to him. “Fine. It is a deal.” He had plenty more where that came from, anyway.

 You smiled at him; it wasn’t mocking but it wasn’t nice, either. It was just another job, you told yourself. I’m only going to break into a government facility. It’s no big deal.

 And as Fletch started talking, you couldn’t help but think about how your employer was a fucking Yautja! You didn’t like the idea of working for one. They weren’t exactly on the top of your Favourite Alien list — not like you were keeping tabs… but, still. The more experienced Cobras dealt with them on the few occasions one had approached them.

 You sighed internally. I should have never taken that fucking job.

TIME TRAVELER: E215. THREE DAYS OF ANGST 2/2

To distract himself a bit, Robin focused on building his next plumbot, Prototype 005, a very flashy robot, brightly colored and equipped with the Steel Chef trait chip, ready to help in the kitchen of the most demanding families or of some modern five-star restaurant.

There was no doubt that Prototype 005 would sell quickly, especially now that Rob had become a big seller due to his new 'powers'. Thanks to them, his sales had increased significantly, improving his financial situation, which allowed him to produce even more sophisticated plumbots.

Another thing he did in those days was to restart his experiment with the Forbidden Fruit, which so far had not given him good results, but he kept trying, for Juliette, and for the whole team.

He took the time as well to build new trait chips for Prototype. The more traits he had, the higher its price would be in the market. Although, being unable to travel to Oasis Landing, it would be difficult to get nanites for high-end trait chips. So, for this time he had to settle for simpler ones like Friendly Function and Competent Cleaner.

Meanwhile, he discovered another of his recently acquired 'skills': the ability to 'consume' space rocks to increase his brain power, a new motive that replaced the normal energy one. If he kept that up, he would function better during the day, and some nights he didn't even have to sleep, just 'restore' this brain power.

Of course, he kept this new skill a secret, as he considered it a bit frightening. He himself was afraid of it, let alone if Ann, Juliette, or anyone else could see him reducing huge space rocks down to small stones, and then to pure energy to 'feed' his brain.

He had caused enough chaos around him without scaring his loved ones with such an oddity. He wished he knew what the heck was going on with him... Well, actually, he had a slight idea of what it could be, he just didn't want to accept it.

"Good heavens, not that, please… If I'm an alien, I'll never be allowed in Oasis Landing again."

i had to call him sensei!-chp 2

It's been five years since I woke up in this dream, I've become a simple, custom-made machine engineer. It's a long story after I forced the boys to serve me despite their attempts to betray me and escape from me. They even used a funny gang of naive boys to play gangsters, but then a terrible accident happened, and I will tell their story later! Anyway, I disguised myself in decent public clothes brought by the boys, and worked for the bakery as a cleaner, so I met an inventor who was a regular customer of the bakery and liked to narrate about his inventions and the importance of the astermite stone (I will talk about this stone later) in making them and about his dream of becoming a famous inventor who invents machines according to Demand with supernatural features and abilities, the bakery owner didn't pay him much attention to his stories but he was happy to have a loyal customer who buys lots of bread from him daily. Unlike me, I was interested in his stories, so he used to come to me whenever he visited the bakery to tell me about his new invention, and I used to exchange parties with him about how some parts work and their defects. After a while, our relationship continued until he suggested that I work for him as an assistant and a trainee, given my interest in the field and the creative ideas that I have. I accepted his offer because he suggested to me a wage greater than the wage I receive from the baker, and he also promised me that if there was a large order, I would share with him a percentage of its profits. I soon worked for him until I gained experience in the field and became his assistant literally and represented him in his absence, and I received special orders and sometimes confidential ones due to their use… My life improved from a vagabond without a family to a businesswoman of a middle position between the middle class and Noble, that inventor's dream was almost fulfilled and our business increased… Also, I bought myself a new identity. Since I do not know the name of the owner of this body, I have chosen a name: Dianthus caryophilus, a name I borrowed from the name of my aunt's favorite flowers…

I lost hope that what I am experiencing now is a dream, and doubts began to convince me that it was reality, but if this was true, then what exactly is going on? I do not believe in the theory of rebirth in another life! Also, I did not die before waking up in this body, as far as I remember, I slept during the lesson at school. I don't think I had a heart attack at that time? Is it time travel? If that was the case, I should have traveled through time in my body and not in the body of another person. I cannot say for sure that this is not the case, because the theory of time travel is still science fiction in my world, and it has not been proven how to do this and its conditions… and also this world. A little different from the world of history that I studied, here they do not use electrical or mechanical energy, but rather use strange electromagnetic energy extracted from a strange and common stone here called astromite, it is a stone that supplies energy to machines and has strange formulas, as they use it in lighting and spacecraft that fly Such as planes for travel, and there are also some robots that derive their energy from them, but they are not very common, only governments use them. There is something more strange in this world! And it is that there are vampires, where there was a great conflict between humans and vampires, which led to a great war between the two clans that led to many victims as a result of enmity and hatred… I did not believe their existence until I saw them with my own eyes many times, like that time when the boys wanted Assassinate me and they sent street boys, they intended to torture me and they trapped me in a backyard, but unexpectedly there was a raging vampire napping there so he was awakened by the noise we caused so he didn't even attack them while I managed to escape through a narrow corridor, it was dangerous but he saved me in At the same time, I've since learned not to go into backyards, they're dangerous. And once I was walking until I saw an attack of a vampire revolting on a person, it was a scary and strange scene that I was amazed, and of course I thought it was just a dream and I would not be harmed in reality, so I kept watching, so the vampire turned to me and tried to attack me until a hunter saved me him and cut off his head. (Hunters are people working for the church, who exterminate rampaging vampires.) I didn't pay much attention to it despite the bloody scene, because I thought it was a dream, so I thought it was fun, but it happened to me several times and they survived it with difficulty, as if I was targeted by them every time, and with the evaporation of the idea that all this was a dream, it started to cause me anxiety and fear. Our humble shop had a very distinguished clientele, one of whom was an alchemist who made various potions and sometimes offered his goods to us as part of the exchange of commercial favours. The results are negative, which means that my blood type is "lonja".

it has a smell that attracts vampires, although I have not been injured or scratched, however, I am always exposed to danger. I agreed to that, and he pricked my finger with a needle and took a drop of my blood and put it in a cup containing a special liquid, so the color of the liquid changed, so he told me that this is evidence that the result is negative. It is difficult for them to track me or smell my blood, of course it was not free but I have my own opponents as a special treatment from a business partner. And since that day, I've been less vulnerable to vampires…

What do you think it would happen if Game! Terra meet Gigamix! Terra?

Nothing good.

Terra is a jerk to the point where he barely tolerates himself, I doubt Terra would like it if he ever met a counterpart, no matter which timeline he originates from.

Spoiler Warning (Mega Man Archie Comics; Ra Moon & Stardroid arcs), mentions of gore, war, genocide & homicidal jerk behavior from Terra's end

Game!Terra is a major downgrade from Gigamix, the bars from there are all low to be honest. Don't get me wrong. Terra's entire role in the game-Archie as well-is pretty dark for Capcom's standards in the eyes of the real world. But not as dark as Argia's characterization of him portrayed.

Game!Terra is much more moderate and eased. Not to mention far less apocalyptic and fairly tame.

Gigamix!Terra is another story; in every single way you can think of. Psychopathic; no humanity with violent tendencies and motivations. Genocide isn't even the tip of the iceberg; only one phase of a multi-stepped plan, bringing Earth's inhabitants toward a deserved demise.

It won't stop at that. Oh no, Gigamix!Terra barely just begun; chaos will rain, despair shall infect the Earth at core, and Terra will view it all; the end of humanity, the devastating death of Earth. And he will laugh.

Gigamix!Terra will watch, look upon the insects in evil glee as disorder quakes Earth's balance of nature off the axis. At peace with what he is, and what he is meant to do; destroy. Completely, utterly obsessed over destruction and pure devastation. His infernal hatred of life in general keeps his motivation at peck performance.

While Game!Terra is sociopathic at worst, he held some symbiose of a bond, a fondness for family. His brothers are highly regarded, a respected group of powerful forces not to be reckoned. Fast and strong, too good to be true. Better than tools, more than their bodies give. Cleaner then trash to throw away when Game!Terra finishes.

He is a great team leader, an experienced strategist in extraordinary war planning. Demanding but respectful, strict but mindful of their foes as they jump into battle. Game!Terra knows just what to say to bring his brother's minds together and fight as a single opposing calamity.

Dare say he cares for their safety (I'd say he cares for the Kuiper droids too. A basketball coach would for his team, one he trained til he could no longer sweat, pieced together day and night.)

Yes, Game!Terra is still an asshole; will kill, will destroy. Capable of berating and insulting others who don't deserve it, beneath him in knowledge and force. Given his line of work, that is predictable.

In the end, from how its put, he fulfills his position; a weaker servant to Sunstar. A world-conquering servant, laying patient underneath his great master. A job he is devoted too.

Violence aside, Game!Terra isn't nearly as incredibly extreme compared to his Gigamix version. Game!Terra is still selfish as hell, boundless in his strictness. But at least he contains some glimpses of humane emotions.

Brief as it is, its there.

Despite everything, Game!Terra cares for his brothers, nonetheless. As much so as a true brother would, looking after his family. He values them; hears their opinions, knows their efforts, respects their strength and works together in a common goal. He relates to the burdens, to any pain they may suffer. Training to look beyond weakness, exploit to adapt.

Most importantly, I feel like I should state this as clear as possible:

Game!Terra wants to rule Earth, not erase it.

-

Meanwhile Gigamix!Terra can't make it more obvious how much he fucking hates Earth and the universe.

Ok, seriously. Back to violence again.

He is out here floating in Earth's orbit, all crazy smiles like a motherfucker. Declaring war not only to robots, not only to humanity. But literally Earth itself.

Look at this bitch. Think he gives any fucks? Any shits?

If you said "yes" you're lying.

This pale ass bitch couldn't give a shit about anything. Especially when it comes down his own brothers, he doesn't even regard them as true siblings in some English translations of the Gigamix manga if we are really stretching the line paper thin.

Do I even need to talk about the stupid eyeball scene?!

Gigamix!Terra is horrible and terrifying. His brothers-oh no sorry, let me correct myself. His brethren are mere subordinates; soldiers meant to die doing as they were made to do. Tools to be used in Gigamix!Terra's plans to destroy the Earth.

It seems not much of a difference but given these are the Stardroids from 2 vastly separate worlds, I deem it very notable.

-

But back on the topic of your question, I really really can't see them getting along good.

I see Gigamix!Terra being kind of baffled at first, but then grows owl-like curiosity. You'd be pretty interested in meaning another version of yourself if you lived in the same timeline.

But that doesn't make Gigamix!Terra any less fucking creepy. A blank, blinkless stare and a harmless head tilt wearing a sinister smirk that doesn't reach his eyes.

Not surprised that different versions of him exist, existence is filled with different, limitless possibilities. It's a big world, just with small people. Interesting, this quite unexpected union. Fairly intrigued upon seeing an in-game self.

If Game!Terra lives then how many others are out there? None Gigamix!Terra bothers counting.

Their meeting will be less then friendly, however. No pleasantries, just empty stares, empty words. Tension will fill the air between, distrust and a dramatic show of their so similar powers. They are predators, equipped with flawless, apex senses and speed. Daring the other, their strange twin to move first, spark the inevitable battle. An aura of conflict, a heavy weight. Total unrest from Game!Terra's end, refusing to unveil any type of vulnerability. No one knows you better then yourself; thoughts, emotions and innermost turmoil.

It's a living joke, a possibility born from another impossibility. And they await the other to laugh. To call "sike", a signal for the illusion to fall flat. It doesn't happen, much to their displeasure. They view each other as potential threats, and almost groan in annoyance. More enemies to deal with in the future, more stupid problems to sweep under the rug.

Sure, they talk. Nothing wrong with a little chit-chat to learn about the other's intentions, mysterious as these weird circumstances are. Could be worse, they both know better. But the tension only worsens after Gigamix!Terra learns his in-game counterpart deals with planets and the weaklings differently...

a lot differently.

The silence is deafening. But then, it finally breaks. Something happens, slicing the insufferable quiet in half.

Gigamix!Terra laughs, quite literally at himself.

It's hilarious that this...

broken, weaker version of himself actually exists.

...

(I'm sure you can brainstorm some guesses about what happens next.)

Kirby Extra Mode Thoughts

Kind of forgot to make this post as I slowly fizzled out of doing Kirby extra modes, but here’s a few reviewed roughly in the order I happened to do them.

Meta Knightmare Ultra (Super Star Ultra)

Really enjoyed this one, but that’s easy since Super Star Ultra is already my favorite. This one uniquely ties together the different “games” of Super Star, as opposed to a lot of the other extra modes that just remove the level transitions. The movement is so fluid in this game, and giving Meta Knight extra moves on the touch screen is killer.

Dededetour (Triple Deluxe)

Triple Deluxe is my Kirby guilt pleasure, so I knew I’d love this one. Hammer is already one of the most fun copy abilities, so a whole game with a better version of it is a ton of fun. Dedede lacks the bottom screen touch moves of Meta Knight, but the novelty of getting to play as him is pretty cool. The final boss against Dark Meta Knight was also pretty cool and perfectly balanced. The best part about this mode though is the wrap holes that let you skip parts of levels or even entire levels. That easily makes this mode feel unique, and skipping some of the boss rematches was so cool. I found that to be a lot more rewarding than the energy power ups in…

Meta Knightmare Returns (Robobot)

At first, I was disappointed by the lack of warp holes, but this ended up being maybe my favorite Kirby experience. Managing Meta Knight’s energy levels by balancing health versus speed versus boss-killing special moves reminds me of what Squeak Squad was going for but handled much cleaner. Being able to clear obstacles using Meta Knight’s sword that were previously robot-only really makes him feel as powerful as the lore would imply. But by far the best part was the Galacta Knight fight. The cutscene introducing the fight is perfect, and the fight itself feels like a perfectly balanced 1v1 duel, easily my favorite boss fight in the entire series.

Arena

Really just mentioning this to record my performance. I couldn’t clear Super Star Ultra’s arena, although I don’t think I really did research on which ability to use (probably because I was dead set on mirror already). I destroyed Return to Dream Land’s arena by simply using Tornado. Robobot’s Arena was interesting because I intended to use ESP but quickly lost it and pivoted to using Stone, where I finally learned how useful it is for boss-clearing and how much the move set had evolved.

Rumble 3D

I cleared the three levels here and the first two worlds of Blowout Blast. Blowout really evolves the formula a lot here, but both are a neat look forward at the control scheme in Forgotten Land. I’m not a fan of the super tight combat design where one mistake cascades and ruins the whole fight.

Meta Knightmare (Nightmare in Dreamland)

I used an online save file to access this without 100%ing the main game and the extra mode. This mode was HARD, with half-health and a total lack of invincibility frames on any of Meta Knight’s attacks. I was used to abusing those frames in later games so I was constantly getting hit by basic enemies. I do like the idea of Meta Knight as a glass cannon, with high risk and high reward, killing bosses easily but demanding platforming perfection. However, I was running out of energy by this point so I employed the use of rewind for this one.

Extra Mode (Return to Dreamland)

I started this one, but it just wasn’t different enough to keep me engaged.

Understanding the trends shaping the global supply chain  

The global supply chain is like a lifeline for businesses. It supports everything from the products we buy to the services we use.

However, challenges raised in recent years have shown how fragile it can be. With the rise of technology, customers want more, and a pandemic like COVID-19 shifted things the way they were.

Now, every business, especially transportation companies in Australia, is putting more effort into being more flexible and overcoming the challenges that come the way of the supply chain.

Top Trends Shaping the Global Supply Chain

Digital Transformation

Digital technologies are entirely changing the way the supply chain operates. Take a look at a few modern-day technologies in the Global Supply Chain. 

IoT: IoT– Internet of Things. Shipment tracking is not a new technology, but accurate shipment tracking is indeed a new technology. No more lags and problems of delay tracking. With advanced technology, businesses and customers can know the exact location of their shipments. For example, a reputed interstate transport company in Brisbane uses IoT to track precise shipment locations across the country. 

AL & ML: AL– Artificial intelligence & ML — Machine Learning. These technologies are like super smart assistance for your businesses. These technologies can help in route planning, predicting upcoming demand for products, and keeping inventory track records. 

AI-powered softwares allows companies to make quick and smart decisions. It saves time and reduces overall costs. 

Blockchain: Consider blockchain as a digital ledger. It keeps a record of every transaction secure in the supply chain. It enhances transparency, and transparency builds trust, especially in food and pharmaceutical companies. 

These technological advancements are making the supply chain more efficient and transparent. 

Automation & Robotics 

Automation is no longer a choice, as labour costs are rising and demand for speed is increasing. Following is the breakdown of how we are handling goods. 

Automated Warehouses: Automated robots are used to move items around the warehouse quickly and safely. For example, Amazon's Kiva robot helped the rapid picking process and ensured seamless, faster deliveries. 

If you are looking for a cheap warehouse in Australia, automation can make these spaces more efficient. 

Drones & Autonomous Vehicles: Some reputable product delivery companies are testing advanced drones, robots and self-driving vehicles for autonomous delivery. This technology can make delivery possible in hard-to-reach areas without impacting human lives. 

Sustainability & Green Supply Chain

Now, more and more businesses are becoming aware of how important it is to save our planet. This shift is encouraging businesses to make their production and delivery of each process environment-friendly. 

It starts with cutting carbon emissions and utilising eco-friendly packaging. 

Green Logistics: Green logistics is all about encouraging smarter and cleaner transportation. Companies are investing more in electric vehicles and rethinking delivery routes. So they can cut the use of fuel and make less of an impact on the environment. 

Solar-powered warehouses are another step businesses take to make the supply chain environment-friendly. 

Circular Supply Chain: This supply chain focuses on giving products a new life. Instead of increasing waste by throwing it, businesses can give a new life to it. More focus is given to the reuse and recycling concept. This not only eliminates waste but also saves money in the long run. 

If you are searching for a warehouse for rent in Brisbane, then consider one that’s built with sustainability objectives.

Resilience and Risk Management 

In the past few years, businesses have faced many challenges, including the pandemic, political conflict and natural disasters. These unexpected and uncontrollable events have shown how important it is to build a flexible and stronger supply chain.

Now, businesses are more focused on keeping themself diversifying and staying adaptable. 

Diversifying Suppliers: Diversifying suppliers is like having a backup plan. Companies are eliminating their dependency on one supplier. They are expanding their sourcing network by contacting various suppliers in different regions. It not only helps get competitive pricing but also helps get products on time without delay. 

Better Supply Chain Visibility: It's like having a bird’s eye view. With real-time data and advanced tools, businesses can see and resolve problems before they create any trouble in the supply chain. Better visibility allows them to address the problem early and reduces the chances of potential damage. 

On top of that, finding an affordable warehouse for lease in Sydney can be a smart move for companies. 

E-Commerce & Customer-Centric Supply Chain

We all get used to quicker and more convenient delivery with the rise of online shopping trends. This shift is forcing companies to make their product delivery more convenient and secure. 

Flexible Delivery Options: Businesses are moving one step ahead. Nowadays, people can choose whether they want their product delivered to their doorstep, picked up from a store or any locker. Customer’s choices are prioritised. This is referred to as Omnichannel Fulfillment. 

Faster Delivery: Customers want same-day or next-day delivery. Although this is quite tough, companies are doing their best to make it happen. How? They adopted a simple strategy – look for a small warehouse for rent near the location of their consumer’s residence and use advanced and smart technologies to ensure timely and secure delivery. 

Conclusion

There are a number of changes occurring in the global supply chain. To keep up with the changes, businesses need to be flexible and adapt new technologies to meet customer demands. Automation and robots are making material handling more efficient. Businesses are searching for warehouses near their customer's locations to meet the demand for speedy delivery.  Connect with Aussie Trident Group for big or small warehouses for rent in Australia.

Kirby Extra Mode Thoughts

Kind of forgot to make this post as I slowly fizzled out of doing Kirby extra modes, but here’s a few reviewed roughly in the order I happened to do them.

Meta Knightmare Ultra (Super Star Ultra)

Really enjoyed this one, but that’s easy since Super Star Ultra is already my favorite. This one uniquely ties together the different “games” of Super Star, as opposed to a lot of the other extra modes that just remove the level transitions. The movement is so fluid in this game, and giving Meta Knight extra moves on the touch screen is killer.

Dededetour (Triple Deluxe)

Triple Deluxe is my Kirby guilt pleasure, so I knew I’d love this one. Hammer is already one of the most fun copy abilities, so a whole game with a better version of it is a ton of fun. Dedede lacks the bottom screen touch moves of Meta Knight, but the novelty of getting to play as him is pretty cool. The final boss against Dark Meta Knight was also pretty cool and perfectly balanced. The best part about this mode though is the wrap holes that let you skip parts of levels or even entire levels. That easily makes this mode feel unique, and skipping some of the boss rematches was so cool. I found that to be a lot more rewarding than the energy power ups in…

Meta Knightmare Returns (Robobot)

At first, I was disappointed by the lack of warp holes, but this ended up being maybe my favorite Kirby experience. Managing Meta Knight’s energy levels by balancing health versus speed versus boss-killing special moves reminds me of what Squeak Squad was going for but handled much cleaner. Being able to clear obstacles using Meta Knight’s sword that were previously robot-only really makes him feel as powerful as the lore would imply. But by far the best part was the Galacta Knight fight. The cutscene introducing the fight is perfect, and the fight itself feels like a perfectly balanced 1v1 duel, easily my favorite boss fight in the entire series.

Arena

Really just mentioning this to record my performance. I couldn’t clear Super Star Ultra’s arena, although I don’t think I really did research on which ability to use (probably because I was dead set on mirror already). I destroyed Return to Dream Land’s arena by simply using Tornado. Robobot’s Arena was interesting because I intended to use ESP but quickly lost it and pivoted to using Stone, where I finally learned how useful it is for boss-clearing and how much the move set had evolved.

Rumble 3D

I cleared the three levels here and the first two worlds of Blowout Blast. Blowout really evolves the formula a lot here, but both are a neat look forward at the control scheme in Forgotten Land. I’m not a fan of the super tight combat design where one mistake cascades and ruins the whole fight.

Meta Knightmare (Nightmare in Dreamland)

I used an online save file to access this without 100%ing the main game and the extra mode. This mode was HARD, with half-health and a total lack of invincibility frames on any of Meta Knight’s attacks. I was used to abusing those frames in later games so I was constantly getting hit by basic enemies. I do like the idea of Meta Knight as a glass cannon, with high risk and high reward, killing bosses easily but demanding platforming perfection. However, I was running out of energy by this point so I employed the use of rewind for this one.

Extra Mode (Return to Dreamland)

I started this one, but it just wasn’t different enough to keep me engaged.
