A diaphragm formed on a silicon substrate

The specific advantages of using the piezoresistive sensors are high sensitivity, good linearity (at a constant temperature) and ability to track the pressure changes (without any kind of signal hysteresis).Automotive Industry or Applications: One can find the use of piezoresistive sensors in automotive industrial applications like air pressure selection, checking gas level and oil level.. These types of pressure sensors are manufactured with semiconductor technology, which helps them to operate on the resistive principle.

Manufactured with monocrystalline silicon (in a water format) the piezoresistive sensor provides very high mechanical strength and elastic behavior (up to the point of mechanical breakdown).Biomedical Application: Most often one can find the use of piezoresistive sensors in the blood pressure measurement equipment Advantages of Using Piezoresistive Pressure Sensors: The first advantage of using piezoresistive sensor- these are a low-cost yet effective sensor that offers fabrication opportunity.

A diaphragm formed on a silicon substrate in a piezoresistive sensor is believed to be, the sensing material that blends with applied pressure and causes a deformation (occurs in the crystal lattice of the diaphragm). No doubt, a competent pressure sensor manufacturer or supplier will provide you the best quality piezoresistive sensor devices at an affordable price. These types of pressure sensors are manufactured Submersible level transmitters with semiconductor technology that normally operates on the resistive principle.

One can experience that the piezoresistive pressure sensors have enabled automatic, precise and low-cost electric compensation of the standard error parameters, as its semiconductor components use the new signal processing techniques. This helps the pressure sensors to exhibit an only minor response to hysteresis and mechanical aging. It is believed that to know the optimal application of these types of pressure sensors, as a user, you need to understand their structure, manufacturing details and properties. Some Specific Application Areas: Advanced Household Appliances: In our daily life, we use many household appliances in which the piezoresistive sensors are sued, such as dishwashers, vacuum cleaners, and washing machines. It is important to get well-designed and durable piezoresistive pressure sensors for your specific application or industry to enjoy the best results by relying on a reliable manufacturer.

One should know that piezoresistive sensors are usable only after undergoing corrections that have been made to offset and for other certain effects, which are induced by their sensitivity to temperature variations and the manufacturing process. This type of resistance change caused in a monocrystalline semiconductor is known as a piezoelectric effect that is believed to be substantially higher than that in the standard strain gauges. This type of deformation leads to a change in the band structure of the piezoresistive sensors to change the resistivity of the material (which normally increases or decreases as per the orientation of the resistors). About Piezoresistive Sensors: In the piezoresistive sensors, we can see the pressure changes the resistance by mechanically deforming the sensor and enables the resistors in a bridge circuit.Has a mature processing technology that helps in suitably adjusting different pressure levels (achieved according to the application).

These days, the piezoresistive pressure sensors are widely used because of their strength and resistance properties. Manufacturing: Manufactured with MEMS technology, the piezoresistive sensors are used for various applications like the automotive industry, biomedical applications, and household appliances. This helps in making things easy for us and ensures the appliances deliver a top quality service.

As a performance engineer, he is the man who keeps an eye on all the data in a complex world like Formula 1 and leaves no stone unturned to see how to get even more speed out of the RB20. “For example, I can see how the tires behave individually, how high the temperature of the brakes is and how the hybrid systems of the engine behave,” says Hart in the Red Bull hospitality area.

Together with Lambiase, Michael Manning and David Mart, he is part of the regular group of engineers around world champion Verstappen.

“And GP is the one who talks to Max during sessions, so he has to filter all our information and assess what he finds relevant to pass on to Max. And then as a driver he now has an enormous library of experience. Max is ultimately the best sensor. He senses what he is up against and can make it very clear whether he wants to try something different and what exactly. He is very direct and knows what he wants. There is no room for politics or bullshit.”

In order to be able to empathize with Lambiase's work, Hart occasionally takes his position as race engineer, as was the case on Friday during both training sessions in Imola. Hart explains how a weekend is broadly divided.

“First we have to make sure that the car behaves as we expected. Then we look at how we can get more out of the speed over one lap. Where do we lose time in the bends, does Max feel limited somewhere at the beginning or at the end of such a bend? We then look at the longer runs and how we can protect ourselves against possible dangers.”

With the help of his engineer, a driver can adjust the necessary things on his steering wheel, for example when it comes to the brake balance or the differential. As far as Verstappen and Red Bull are concerned, the Azerbaijan Grand Prix last year is a good example of this. For Verstappen, that race in Baku was the turning point in the season.

“In those first four races, Checo (teammate Sergio Pérez, ed.) and Max were close together. But in terms of setup and the tools he uses, Max has gone in a completely different direction since that race in Baku. He has twelve so-called switch positions that he can use. He tested many of them in Baku, while normally you use two or three in a weekend. Max learned a lot then, and so did we."

Since that race in Baku, more than a year ago, Verstappen has not won only three races. While the Dutchman himself is almost never completely satisfied with how a race weekend is going, this also appears to apply to his engineers.

“Coincidentally, we were still talking about it together on Thursday evening. We as engineers are a bit like the goalkeepers in football. It's only when we make a big mistake that it becomes noticeable. We have to keep pushing to see if we can improve anything in areas where we are not yet performing optimally. And even if we are faster than the rest in every corner, we are still not satisfied and we look at where we have left something behind. Everything worked great in China, and then in Miami with the same car we didn't have the speed. And then afterwards you can understand so well why that is, here in Imola there is a completely different asphalt, the conditions are different and the tire compounds are also different.”

Given the immense pressure and expectations, Hart considers Verstappen's victory in 2021 in front of his own audience in Zandvoort as his personal highlight. The Englishman started working as Alex Albon's performance engineer in 2020 before being transferred to Verstappen the following year.

“With Alex we mainly looked at how we could close the gap with Max with the same material. With Max you look less at the other side of the garage. His experience, not only in Formula 1 but also with other cars, helps us. Actually, after a racing weekend I am also a kind of translator. In the debrief Max tells us what his limitations were. Drivers speak their own language. We then look at his words with the people in the factory in combination with the collected data.”

And yes, Verstappen may be the most important sensor, but he also sometimes has to rely on the information from his engineers on the pit wall and in the garage. They now have the complete overview.

“Especially in races where we play the longer game ,” says Hart. “We can see what the lap times of the other drivers are and how the different tires are worn. For example, if we say that Max needs to change something on his handlebars, he may well think: the balance is now just right. But then we have to prepare for later in the race. If you wait until the front tires are on, you will be too late. We always have to think one step ahead, otherwise you go too slowly.”

Chapter XXIV: P-O-W-E-R

(Music: "Blue Veins", by The Raconteurs)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3 years ago. January 24th, 2280 CE.

A labor colony on Eranya, under the mighty sovereign authority of Canaris in its golden age, was engorged in a large-scale near-mutiny over the back-breaking labor, long hours, and lack of representation in Canaris' domestic policy and chaos-seamed tiered systems of governance- as well as a dozen other issues. Their treasonous ring leader, Greine Altomeier, demanded autonomy for the colony of Miranys and protectorate status under Canaris as an included territory. The initial objective of these insurrectionists was to leverage their value to Canaris as a major producer of Eranyium (named after the first settler leader of the planet, who also found the invaluable mineral in the same week); a metal that, when first mined, looked like silver-sheened, iridescent-hued fragments of coarse and grainy, heavy metal- but in its refined state, was smooth and reflective. Its extremely heat-resistant properties were plated on the outside of spacefaring vessels as a means to insulate the vessel from the extreme temperature changes that occurred during long voyages.

In short summary, it was extremely vital to Canaris. And the sickening amount of defensive capabilities it had built on the planet as a solid defense against Terror Remnants or enemy nations, ended up being turned against Canaris on this very day. The labor colony was heavily equipped with armed manpower numbering in the millions; innumerous artillery emplacements, orbital batteries, and anti-air flak guns. De-centralized military fleets patrolling the ground level of Miranys, sub-orbital battle cruisers, orbital defense platforms, shielding systems, sensor & reconnaissance drones, well-armed & well-manned orbital shipyards, and railgun stations which practically swarmed around the atmosphere of Eranya akin to a humming hive of agitated bees.

In response to this crass declaration of quasi-independence, Canaris sent Admiral Hawkes and his fleet of twenty battle-hardened super-dreadnoughts to quell the rebellion—complete overkill, and a demonstration to other labor colonies within Canaris' sector, of the consequences of resisting their martial masters. The warships encircled the planet at every major orbital port, blockading the planet's ports of entries and exits as the Argonaut's monstrous mass loomed menacingly over Miranys, blotting out the sun for several city blocks and factory complexes.

"They are ready to receive you, Admiral."

Admiral Hawkes stood gazing over the wide window view of Eranya at the very front of the Argonaut, spotting the sizable speck of a colony below orbit that demonstrated the naive gall to stand against a planet-razing military terror like Canaris. As it seemed, twenty massive warships and the Argonaut's mile-long architecture weren't sufficient enough for the neophyte rebels to immediately surrender and submit to some very lenient punishment compared to what they would suffer for rejecting Canaris' repeated demands of compliance. Admiral Hawkes gestured ever so slightly with his fingers to the bridge officer managing the telecommunications, and she began patching him through to the colony's communications array. A young, spritely, and charismatic voice popped up over the speakers, loud and belligerent whilst introducing herself to the Argonaut.

"Lord Admiral Fenris! We are honored by your presence."

"Hey, Yvette, it's been a while."

The radio abruptly fell silent. A long minute passed, and Hawkes stared back over the planet and above its haloed horizon; taking a moment to appreciate the beauty of the innumerable twinkling stars, distant and near; nebulae, galaxies, planets- chaos and order so seamlessly integrated. It all seemed so heaven-sent until the reality of this immense, slogging, agonizing existential suffering was heaped upon all sentient, conscious, intelligent beings at the first naive encounter of horror.

"...You... remember me?" Yvette eventually responded more timidly and torn emotionally.

"'Course I do. I remember the moment you were born to your first Ordeal. What made you think I ever forgot you?"

A stifled sobbing emitted over the radio, before the sound of disruption, and another voice came over the receiver; grumpy, gruff, and sneering with a low, vaguely Cockney-English accent.

"Hawkes."

Admiral Hawkes' expression, softened and relieved only seconds prior, was now contorted and twisted into a snide grimace and beady, frosted eyes of cold hate.

"Take your forked tongue out of the chatterbox and cower in your hovel, Nemdo." Hawkes rasped over the receiver. "I have seven-hundred-thousand armaments, big and small, on this vessel alone. I could -snipe- the atoms off your nose, even from this distance, and no barriers nor armored structures would protect you from it. Get off the receiver, hand it to Yvette."

"So that's what we are now, to you? Just slaves for you to keep in line, kill as you please, you cunt?"

"You are a fool, to think you, of all those in the colony, would be the one to tug at my heartstrings."

"It wouldn't matter who's speaking. You're here to obliterate us."

"I think this will end amicably if I simply obliterate you with a thousand orbital precision lasers so I don't have to suffer your under-developed brain synapses flapping fecal matter from your rotting gums. Hand. The. Radio. To Yvette, or the next words you decide to spew will lie in a pile of your ashes. Try it."

A devilishly long silence ensued. Then-

"Fucking tyrant."

The receiver crackled as commotion occurred on the other end, before Yvette's voice nervously cropped up over the radio.

"H...Hawkes."

"Hey there. Sorry for the cruelty you heard earlier. You know our disagreements."

The receiver was silent for a moment, before a reply: "Y-Yeah. I get it. Um... well, uh... we're the colony of Miranys, and we w-would like to, uh, request that w-we rewrite the, uh, g-governmental relationship between M-Miranys and Canaris-!"

"I'm not against this idea," Hawkes stated, which seemed to both surprise and throw off Yvette.

"Wh- really??"

Hawkes obviously had, in advance, reviewed the terms put forth by the leader of Miranys, Greine, who was currently on the other side of the planet in negotiations with the other colonies to try and snowball a planetary-wide liberation movement as he knew that Canaris would reject the demands. Hawkes' intentions were to negotiate a deal with Yvette, the third-in-charge of Miranys, so he could officiate a deal that would undermine Greine's authority to the other sector leaders on Eranya and put a quick end to the idea of insurrection. Hawkes had just intimidated Nemdo, second-in-charge of Miranys and a cowardly person whom he harbored a venomous history with, into handing the official negotiations to Yvette; even though Hawkes bluffed about the precision lasers being capable of piercing their defensive shielding. The plan was to give a few or several good industrial and political incentives to Eranya, and with the political power he held, Hawkes had no doubt he could free the people of Miranys from those draconian labor quotas and laws put in place by Atriarchs of the past. He'd already received the greenlight from the current Atriarchs to initiate these negotiations on their behalf, especially with how integral of a colony it was to Canaris- but full or partial autonomy was out of the question.

Any form of autonomy for fledgling colonies always led to demagogues and populists capturing the spirit of those laborers and civilians, turning them into a fomenting crowd of wrathful indignation against their current or formal rulers. Trade deals would soon end, followed by scheming with rival or enemy nations, and ending with those nations or others watching from the background ultimately preying on and exploiting the colony until its citizens dreamed of the life they had before autonomy. It wasn't as if Hawkes was particularly against the idea of a noble underdog nation freeing itself from the constraints of a despotic dictatorship-

But compared to the other nations and colonies across the Lower Quadrant of the Milky Way, Canaris was far more palatable in its treatment of vassal territories. This was, in Hawkes' opinion, a powerplay by Greine disguised as a noble pursuit for freedom from tyranny. As the leader of Miranys, there were a hundred different departments and offices Greine could have contacted to have the laws of his colony changed from the decades-ago edicts as was his right with the powers vested in him by the Linde-Fjarnar Compact of 2267; yet he didn't. Instead, Greine allowed the edicts to cause further suffering and misery to build more resentment and mobilize the populace against a strawman villain. This was a power play, by every metric.

And Hawkes was not going to let this power-hungry wannabe big-shot have the opportunity to get hundreds of millions of people killed, whether now or a hundred years into the future.

"Yes," Hawkes responded over the radio. "I have a lot of leeway in this negotiation. Let me know what you personally want and what the colonists generally want, not what Greine wants. Okay? Labor hours, contract revisions, opportunities for vertical promotions- I am more than happy to get this signed and done with so Miranys can flourish. The only thing we can't concede on is autonomy. So, basically, everything you good fellas want minus one. I'm sure you know, Yvette, but Canaris needs Eranyium for interstellar travel. People could suffer if this goes badly one way or another, and that isn't anything I want right now. I was exploring the Kalis Sector with a few warships when this came up on our radar- that's how important to me you are. I crossed half the colonized galaxy just to make sure the war hawks on Canaris wouldn't have the chance to scheme against your homeworld- and I have not forgotten about the years I've spent on this damn planet, Yvette!"

The last line was said in provocative but good-hearted humor, and Yvette chuckled over the radio, seeming more at ease now that the negotiations were broken down so simply by her long-time friend and mentor. "Well then, I mean, I wouldn't mind a few in-person discussions to set preliminary terms. A lot of the people here are pissed, though, so you, you know, ya gotta be very lenient, I-I'm sorry if that's rude to say."

"Indeed. And no, I have no issue with how you speak to me, Yvette. It's infinitely more preferable than the chittering of the insects that plague your top leadership."

His reply was passive-aggressive; he was primarily referring to Greine, but there were a number of other officiated bastards in Miranys' government that Hawkes highly disapproved of, including the treacherous, weaselly, cowardly fuck-nugget Nemdo.

The voice of Elise crackled over his shoulder radio suddenly.

"Grand bâtard."

Hawkes sighed internally as the horrid French onslaught of Elise assailed his fragile Canari ears.

"What now? I'm in the midst of negotiations."

"Shut up, I'll do what I like, garce. Your negotiations may be cut short, Greine is heading back to Miranys very quickly, probably five minutes roughly. He slipped past the quarantine measures, raced over the ocean in a Rathian Bike, took out the Canarii Ranger that was pursuing him, and hijacked a Helixad."

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME. THIS 2-BIT V FOR VENDETTA ORE SHUNTER DID ALL THAT?!

Hawkes thought calmly. "You didn't think to tell me about that?!"

"I was too busy trying to pick my jaw up from the floor, Admiral."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Music: "The Painful Way", by Darren Korb)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hawkes exhaled venomously, quickly panicking as he realized the worst possible outcome was zeroing in and going to ruin both Hawkes' and his entire colony's day if Hawkes didn't finalize some preliminary negotiations he could wave in front of the rest of Eranya as a sign of peace and ongoing arbitrations. 

He did not want to escalate this into a conflict. Several people would die, and several others would die as collateral damage. This near-mutiny had to be quelled, or they would involve everyone else across the planet and rake in more naive idiots with hopeful eyes to join in the slaughter. Hawkes would much rather kill a few and save the many, if it came to that.

"So," He immediately began speaking to Yvette once more; with no time to spare, he could neither waste time on pleasantries nor reveal his urgency to finalize the deal. "I'm thinking, we can do an exclusive trade deal with Eranya by having our freighter ship and mining vessel manufacturing plants only import from your planet. I can put in some requisition orders to start up some new secondary and tertiary industries- more jobs, more growth, and less mining and extraction- we can gradually replace the workers with drones when the logistics of that operation is fully planned out."

Though Hawkes couldn't see it, Yvette was intently listening but feeling slightly overwhelmed by the bulk of information being shoved over the radio. It felt less like a negotiation and more like a big hush-money present was being thrown at them for underlying reasons.

"Eh, Hawkes?" Yvette asked. "That's fine and all, uh, but uh, we should probably have an arbitration at our embassy about this; there's a lot of stuff I need to write down. We'll also have to, uh, talk about how our representatives feel on the topic of autonomy and political rights, because a lot of them are pretty... unhappy after the recent riots and crackdown. I mean, we- they literally mutinied, so, uh, I mean, yeah."

Hawkes was sweating. He was keeping a timer in his head the nanosecond Elise informed him of Greine's approach. 4 minutes left.

"Of course, Yvette," Hawkes replied smoothly, trying not to betray the tremendous urgency running through his head like a particle accelerator. "I just wanted to set some preliminary terms over radio, something I can write home to the Atriarchs to let them know that we're on negotiating terms and that this isn't, you know, a conflict that's gonna break out. You get what I'm saying?"

"Y-Yes. I understand. What did you want to set out, then?"

3 minutes 30 seconds. Hawkes pulled on his collar, feeling as if his throat were tightening; he'd gotten past the first obstacle, he just needed to set out some lenient and reasonable terms, even if he reneged on them later. 

"For the discussion of autonomy, we are definitely open to, at most, partial autonomy, though I can certainly relay messages between Miranys and Canaris as necessary about the particulars on that. Political rights aren't a problem, I assume you all have your representatives picked out, you'll need to write up an Autonomy Compact and allow us to review it for approval and then you'll be good to go. In the meantime, we can adjust working hours and labor laws as necessary and for the best compromise of both parties. How is this sounding so far?"

3 minutes left. His eyes strained at the radio, feeling prickles of stress ride across his brain matter with every second Yvette was silently deliberating with others gathered in the comms room.

"Several of our representatives are extremely upset with the labor quotas and tithes imposed on Miranys every financial quarter. They want to discuss a serious change downward in those aspects."

"Sure! I'm not opposed to that one bit." Hawkes said, a small tinge of panic and irritation lurking behind his words. As this conversation was furthering, Yvette was growing more bold and confident in her voice once it seemed clear she had some leverage over Hawkes on this matter.

"And the families who suffered from the Fir Street Riots need to be compensated! As well as the families who lost their loved ones in the Bakkian Incident! Speaking on that, our equipment is outdated, our safety guidelines are lackluster, and half our labor force have become drug addicts to cope with the daily misery and pain!"

I HAVEN'T INTERACTED WITH YOUR WORLD IN A FUCKING DECADE! I CAN'T BE EVERYWHERE, ALL AT ONCE! Hawkes wanted to shout over the receiver. 2 minutes left. "Done, and done. Any last requests before I type this up and call off the fleet so we can have a proper sit-down?"

And I can kill that upstart cunt trying to get his colony obliterated, Hawkes pondered maliciously, planning Greine's assassination after this matter was settled.

More silence over the radio.

"Tell him..."

Hawkes grimaced as the sound of other representatives chirping in Yvette's ear was audible over the radio. Yvette eventually spoke once more.

"And... the representatives of Miranys... want the Atriarchs to recognize Miranys' Autonomy Compact in a speech-"

"Who the fuck told you to say that?"

The radio went dead-silent. Hawkes was extremely upset hearing this from Yvette's mouth- words spoken by proxy from one of the cancer-filled slugs leaning in on this horrifically-vital conversation.

"I-I... I, uh, I didn't mean-!"

"Nevermind," Hawkes quickly cut her off, trying to smooth over the extremely perfidious comment. 1 minute left. Even if he had to lie his mouth off, it would be worth it to save everyone in this system from a very bloody afternoon. "I'll relay the requests to the Atriarchs. I've documented your list of demands and will be calling back the fleet-"

"We wish to have our own defense force!" "And we wish to control and operate our own media networks, free of censorship by the Canaris Media & News Regulation Agency!" "We wish to mint our own currency!"

Hawkes was utterly infuriated at the Miranys representatives having the gall to start chiming into the receiver with additional demands, eating up the precious seconds Hawkes had to finalize these preliminary terms and present the evidence of successful parley to the rest of Eranya. 30 seconds.

"GET OFF THE RECEIVER, UNLESS YOU ARE YVETTE!" He shouted over the radio, having no other course to settle this now than to assert authority between him and the third-in-command. "Once you agree, I can pull back my fleets and we can end this amicably! Do we have a deal, Yvette??"

The radio was silent. 20 seconds. 15 seconds. 10 seconds-

"You're hiding something."

"Yvette. Please. Just agree. We can settle everything, just agree and we'll be-"

Slam!

The sound of doors being forced open came through audibly on the receiver. The distant sound of a voice could be heard: "Yvette! Hand me the radio!"

It's over, Hawkes thought miserably as Greine's young, authoritative, and demanding vague German voice cropped up over the speakers.

"Nice try, bastard. I've lived with you for five years- I know how you think, Hawkes. You won't get the chance to-"

"If you want to die this badly on your lonesome, you have my blessing. Do not drag innocents into your pathetic power play."

"Is that what you think this is? I-"

"Yes. Yes, I do, you fuck."

"It is not! Most in Miranys have signed on to this compact, and soon enough the other colonies will join onboard. Whether you like it or not, we are going to gain our autonomy. We aren't Delisse, nor Ugradja, or any of your other servants that bow down meagerly after a mere show of force!"

"A mere show of force..."

"Fuckin' A right. We have the upper hand. And when we gain our freedom, our history won't be mired by exploitation, slavery, imperialism, and slaughtering people who want a better life."

Hawkes cackled sadistically at the bottomlessly naive and idiotically proud statement uttered by the braindead warrior handling comms.

"How do you think nations have been forged all throughout history, since the dawn of mankind, you fucking pissant? Through hugs and kisses and communal cocksucking ceremonies? You ignorant peon. You'll get your 'autonomy', then stick with us for about five years, then stab us in the back and heap your exports onto a rival nation to get full sovereignty. After they've used you for long enough, your planet will get exploited, then steamrolled by neighboring warmongers who will cut out your tongues, slice your Achilles heels, and force you and your family into lifelong menial labor and servitude. Your spouses and offspring will be used for pleasure and breeding by savage thugs and retired warlords; your dreams will rot away while you witness your little empire crumble and wither, your lands and people perverted and humiliated by idiots with more experience in combat and cruelty, over decades shall you and your kin suffer. I'm far more merciful than letting that become your end legacy. I will simply turn you, painlessly, to ash, and your grandiose ideas that lead to terrible fates will dribble into nothingness through time eternal, and this planet shall continue to prosper under Canaris, its citizens forever safe and secure from the idiotic half-assed ramblings of irredeemable patsies like you."

The radio was again dead silent. Then:

"You will not scare us, Hawkes. Our-"

"You should be scared. You should be utterly fucking terrified. I am speaking from experience, not fantasy, boy. I would rather obliterate your entire colony off the face of Eranya than allow you to steer this planet toward a horrible fate."

Silence, again. This time it was far lengthier, with whole minutes passing by of no radio contact. Hawkes was not going to let this powermonger get the chance to whip up any more colonies into a frenzy to mutiny, nor permit him to better prepare for an invasion should he choose the Darwinian option.

"You get one, and only one answer. Submit or Die. Choose now, or I'll take it as a refusal-"

"We would rather die than continue slaving away under a revolving door of tyrants and robber barons! I have slain your Canarii, and if I must slay YOU, as well, then IT SHALL BE DONE!"

BAAASSSSSTTTAAAAAARRRRDDDDD.

"Then you and your fucking ilk will see Hell Unto Earth."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Music: "Command and Control", by Mick Gordon | YT Only)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He ended the communications after catapulting the radio receiver at the floor, shattering it into thousands of pieces and storming out of the bridgehead.

"DANNY!"

"Yes, Admiral!"

"TAKE OVER COMMAND. I'M DROPPING WITH THE CAEDES."

First Officer Danny paled in the face as he heard his superior would be heading into direct combat with the Magna Caedes, but followed the orders without any pushback- the look on Hawkes' face was frightening enough to silence his concerns.

Hawkes found his quarters, slamming his hand against the DNA scanner and walking in, honing in on the heavily-plated suit locker at the end of his room, typing in the 50-letter-long passcode along with a DNA scan of his retina before throwing open the door hinges and grabbing the suit of armor inside.

The Ryn-Hague Chassis; a stygian-black, extremely bulky, hefty, and 3-inch thick armor that consisted of hundreds of Achilles Series armor plates melded and meshed, woven and perfected through a thousand forges until it was one of the most durable suits of armor in all of human history, capable of deflecting and neutralizing anti-tank rounds and artillery shells with little issue; the interior of the suit was affixed with a reverse magnetic propulsion device which prevented the wearer from feeling the impact of even orbital artillery, and worked in conjunction with exterior piezoelectric layers attached to the pinpoints of the outer armor, which served to convert kinetic energy into electrical energy and used inertial dampening to slow or neutralize the projectiles on impact.

Having secured the chassis to his body over a few painstaking minutes, and finding comfort in the heavy burden it proved on his body, he exited the quarters with the mighty thumping of his heavily-armored boots thudding against the pristine alloy floor.

Admiral Hawkes swiftly turned on his heel and stormed toward the Orbital Deployment Bay, exiting the bridgehead and sifting through the maze of hallways with such force and speed that a strong gust of air followed strongly behind him, staggering passersby and ship crewmates with transhuman dread. After hingeing a left, he was gradually flanked on either side by Magna Caedes; goliath-like augmented superhumans over eight feet tall, plated with dozens of sets of the highest Achilles Series tiers in layered, immensely-dense armor with a 2-inch thick tank-like graphene-composited panoply, known as the 'Deathmark Carapace', fastened over the top of the interior armor they burdened upon flesh and bone alike. A two-fold wall of near-impenetrable alloy, painted and decorated painstakingly by hundreds of artisans with scenes of their past victories, scrawled across the entirety of their black-matte bulwark akin to an animated war poem. Their bulky, trapezoidal helmets were entirely devoid of exterior features, the whole of their senses being transmitted and relayed internally through the diagnostics and substrata of the Magna Caedes' outfit through dozens of sensors and systems. Strength, speed, foresight, willpower- one had to be at the apex of such traits to even be considered for the life-lasting honor and duty of becoming a Magna Caedes; and the acceptance of such forged into service rivaling immortality. Whether or not one was capable of surviving the procedures that even the cutting-edge surgeons and researchers on Canaris found insanely difficult, was a question tens of millions had asked and only twenty in Canari existence had answered.

'Twas one, then two, then four, and finally six that flanked Admiral Hawkes on his left and right, made impossibly conspicuous by the deafening thumping of their magnetic greaves, able to keep them grounded on slippery terrain and in zero-gravity environments. Fastened to their backs were monstrously-sized melee weapons in a variety for each Magna Caedes; A battleaxe, a war maul, an oversized bayonet rifle, a Las-Blade, a war glaive, and a shoulder-mounted plasma cannon; each ordered and mandated to learn a new variety of melee and ranged weaponry each year. Without exception, all of these supersoldiers were equipped with a two-foot-long combat knife and Riveters; oversized handguns capable of blasting shell cartridges the size of golf balls, and thus termed aptly for their overwhelming destructive capability.

Even these warriors from another era showed great deference to Admiral Hawkes, their eyes gleaming with arrogant pride and a fanatic urgency to demonstrate their unparalleled martial skill to the one man who singlehandedly carved out Canaris' path to succession for 3 decades straight.

"Our warships will handle the orbital and sub-orbital defense networks," Hawkes relayed to the Magna Caedes through an internal communications network that allowed them to speak remotely to one another even in high-intensity firefights. "We'll be landing at the northmost edge of the Synacot Marshes and make our way to their headquarters. Keep collateral to a minimum."

The Magna Caedes nodded their daunting helmet frames in approval, performing hundreds of mental calculations in anticipation of the upcoming battle whilst Admiral Hawkes patched in to Lilia.

"Lilia-"

"WHY ARE YOU DROPPING INTO THE BATTLE, YOU FUCKWIT?!"

Hawkes groaned as Lily's distraught voice pierced his ears.

"I've been doing this my entire fucking life, Lily! Why are you making a commotion about it now?!"

"THERE'S NO REASON TO ANYMORE! YOU'VE ALREADY LED BY EXAMPLE HUNDREDS OF TIMES! STOP RISKING YOUR LIFE OVER NOTHING! PLEASE!"

"I'LL DO WHATEVER I GODDAMN WELL PLEASE!"

Hawkes growled gutturally as he turned off communications with the Argonaut; entering into a battle trance as he prepared for an onslaught of enemies. Hawkes and his team of Caedes reached the Orbital Deployment Bay, busy with deploying regiments of Canarii to the surface of Miranys in the same way Hawkes and his team would be doing. They walked past the rows of drop pods, where Canarii warriors stepped into person-sized chairs that held them steady while RMPDs kept their body in stasis during the hard impact into the ground, and entered their own uniquely-designed drop pods for seven and eight-foot-tall behemoths.

"We'll be operating alongside Clémence and Caz's teams, we'll be the vanguard until they've reached the primary defense fortresses, then it's infiltration and sabotage." Hawkes relayed his last order, waiting as the drop pod doors hissed on their hinges, pulling downwards slowly to seal in the interior capsule and prepared for deployment.

"Dropping in 3... 2... 1..."

(Music: "Incendiary", by Nateki)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SCH-P!

The pods shot downward at terminal velocity, rocketing like war-beckoning comets hurtling toward an unfortunate populace of rebels. The window view from the drop pods provided a picturesque and equally dread-inducing tapestry of hundreds of space vessels immediately engaging in all-out warfare; bullets, shells, grapeshot, explosives, particle beams, and dozens of other forms of projectiles were traded in the thousands each second between warring vessels, happening in such rapid and growing magnitude that Hawkes managed to hear those half-second soundwaves blasting with muffled ferocity through the interior of his drop pod, before falling deathly silent in the empty vacuum of space.

Hundreds upon hundreds of drop pods barreled toward Eranya's surface around Hawkes and his team, carrying Canarii warriors driven into battle frenzies for the oncoming fight, platoons and fireteams that would work like sentient, collective ants to achieve their objectives. Armed and armored in the finest Canaris had to offer, and carrying decades of experience in their flesh and bones; this was Canaris setting an example for future labor colonies with the same foolish gall to try and break away from their rulers. An age-old adage the Patriarch enjoyed sending in replies to war declarations and treasonous communications:

|-|-| Fuck around, find out. |-|-|

2 minutes till arrival, Hawkes thought, watching as the cinematic maelstrom of interstellar battle unfolded before him, witnessing turrets, fighters, autocannons, and enemy cruisers lock in on the drop pods and attempt to blow them out of the sky; their shots missing as the pods were quickly leaving their fields of view and piercing the thermosphere of the planet. The drop pods seared and reflected orange, then red, then bright red, then hot-white as the alloyed surfaces heated up from atmospheric entry. 

1 minute till arrival.

The burning persisted for several seconds, before eventually the drop pods had successfully entered orbit; and were immediately locked on and fired upon by artillery emplacements on the surface. Massive shells rocketed by the drop pods, and those lucky few that managed to hit dead-on merely deflected off the 5-inch thick armor coating of the drop pods; made for one purpose only, there was no quarter spared on the sheer durability of the tons-heavy orbital deployment pods.

30 seconds till arrival.

As they parted through the clouds and the wetlands came into view, so did the tens of thousands of Miranys militia fighters, storming the fields to outnumber their superior skilled foe in melee combat. Armored Fighting Vehicles (AFVs), hijacked by the Miranys Rebels from local Canari authorities, drove down the sloped hills toward the marshlands alongside Postmodern-era Humvees with rotating manned heavy machine guns, swerving wildly as they approached the frontline in a massive haphazard string of hundreds-strong vehicles, their wheels and tracks destroying the landscape as large clumps of soil and dirt flew behind them.

Impact.

DDDSSSHHHH!!!

The drop pods slammed into the earth, and the front doors opened up- Hawkes and his Magna Caedes stepped out of the pods and immediately entered the fray. Dozens of Miranys Rebels immediately charged at them, armored in their own Achilles armor and wielding weaponry of every type. Hawkes led the advancing arrow-point formation, tilting his greatsword sheath downward and drawing out the blade -initializing its lasered rim-, using his other hand to unholster the Riveter attached to his hip belt.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Music: "Cultist Battle", by Rob Cairns)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the first of the enemy came, he wound his sword low, digging it into the earth, and swung it in an upward arc, throwing clumps of dirt in the approaching Rebel's face, blinding his vision and allowing Hawkes to level his Riveter at the Rebel's helmet. KRAK! Twelve warriors followed seconds behind the headless corpse, assaulting Hawkes' squad with close-range bayonet rifles and two-handed melee weapons, using their exterior exoskeletons (known as Exos) to gain an edge on speed and dexterity, having to avoid all strikes possible, as each and every attack from Admiral Hawkes or the Magna Caedes would provide overwhelming death or mutilation on a successful hit.

The Magna Caedes brought up the sides, their formation slamming into the waves of bodies like a meat grinder; heaving, swinging, and stabbing their hulkish weapons at the Myranis Rebels, who were bouncing around the field in their Exos and keeping their distance from the walking tanks, attempting to stab or slice at the supersoldiers when they were exposed yet finding themselves rapidly brutalized and cut to pieces the moment they tried to enter striking range against Hawkes and the Caedes.

Hawkes brought up his Riveter, firing pinpoint accurate shots at three Rebels darting toward one of the Caedes, blasting two of them into gore and grazing the third one, who was distracted long enough by the near-hit to -SHHHCK!- have his torso cut in twain by a Caedes battleaxe. Hawkes sensed a looming attack from his right side and rolled forward, blasting the assailant with his Riveter which sent the Rebel flying with a massive dent in his chestplate. Three more Rebels approached Hawkes, shooting his armor while charging with bayonets. Hawkes allowed the bullets to ping off his suit, holstering his Riveter momentarily and rotating his greatsword until he was holding the blade with both hands; an ancient technique used by knights of yore in close combat engagements with other heavily armored enemies; using the blunt end or handle as a club to cave in the heads of enemies.

The first Rebel stopped just short of Hawkes' striking range, firing a volley of shots as the second Rebel came up to Hawkes' right, charging with his bayonet for Hawkes' throat. Hawkes sidestepped the charge, wrapping the joint of his forearm around the Rebel's own neck and pulling him toward his body to use as a meat shield. He tossed his greatsword to the ground and unholstered his Riveter, bringing it up and firing with carefully-aimed shots, allowing his hostage to take the majority of bullets being fired at him by the other Rebels on the battlefield. KRAK! KRAK-KRAK! KRAK! KRAK! Bodies fell, slamming and crumpling into the bogs they were moving around, whilst Hawkes examined his hostage; killed violently by the hundreds of bullets that slammed into his armor, tore through it, and eviscerated the Rebel in his grip. He dropped the deadweight, firing his Riveter at a few more Rebels traversing rapidly around the field before one of his Magna Caedes jumped in front of his eastern flank-

DOOSH! DOOSH!

Two heavy artillery shells slammed into the Caedes, one of them glancing off and exploding a group of Rebels whilst the other hit him dead center, throwing the Caedes off his feet, slamming into Hawkes, and tumbling over the wetlands, before immediately reorienting himself and rejoining the formation. Hawkes, recovering from the hit, sighted the elevated autocannon sat atop the northern hill, firing at Canarii, Argonaut officers, and the Caedes with feverish dogma. Hawkes clicked his thumb and finger together, turning on communications with the Argonaut II.

"Danny. AC turret in front of me, sending coordinates."

"Copy."

Hawkes and his Caedes sprinted several meters in seconds, clearing the wetlands and its shoddy terrain with no hindrance, their footwear sloshing through the water and mud with such speed it almost seemed as if they were sprinting on water. As they blasted through the defenses of entrenched Rebels, their traveling hulking masses slammed through both fortifications and enemy bodies alike- immediately vaporizing any unfortunate soldiers that didn't clear the way quickly enough into red mist and internal organs.

Bwoosh. Bwoosh. Bwoosh.

Three distant explosions emanated from the atmosphere, as bulky shells filled with ultra-explosive payloads burst through the stratosphere with precise coordinates locked on the autocannon turret pointed out by Admiral Hawkes.

BOOOOM-BOOOOM-! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The autocannon turret turned to immediate ash as it erupted with engulfing flames, flourishing for meters in every direction as the payloads detonated and wreaked havoc across the secured entrenchment, annihilating dozens of Rebels in the blink of an eye and terrifying hundreds more amid the miles-wide battlefield. Even still, droves of Rebels surfaced the top of that hill and sprinted toward the oncoming Canarii, Hawkes and Caedes, screaming in righteous fury as they prepared themselves for the fight of their life; behind them followed AFVs, Helixads and explosive-packed drones honing in on the opposing forces for self-detonation.

"They're organized," Hawkes spoke through the internal comms systems. "Send chaos right into the middle of their mainstay, Danny."

"Copy."

A few moments passed as Hawkes' team continued slaughtering their way through waves of Miranys Rebels, more pods slamming through the atmosphere, this time rocketing toward the massive fortified metroplex that served as the Miranys Rebels' HQ, as well as haphazardly strafing toward random points on the battlefield.

DSSSH-! DSSSH-DSSSH-! DSSSH-!

These containers, far larger than the standard deployment pods, slammed into the earth, opening up to reveal Gaiters, remnants of the Terror, crawling out in a drug-induced battle frenzy and immediately assailing the closest Rebels possible, causing terror and jheavy morale detriment to the Rebels as their species' greatest ordeal and nightmare manifested itself so horribly on the battlefield, charging from behind their entrenched positions and tearing them to shreds whilst the rest of them were stuck cleaning up the mess and simultaneously fending off the advancing Canarii, finding and retrieving his greatsword before returning to the slaughter.

With the chaos that would ensue, Hawkes led his team and advanced on the HQ in rapid measure. Once their symbol of mutiny was annihilated and their most troublesome leaders executed, this atrocious affair could come to a quick end. Hawkes radioed Elise before he would begin the frontal assault.

"Elise, you've kept eyes on Yvette, yes?"

"The moment Greine took over negotiations, my drones were sniped out of orbit. I've sent more to locate the Miranys leaders, but-"

"But nothing, Elise! Get her in your damn sights and keep her there!"

"She'll be more likely to survive if you find her first. I can't get within a mile of the compound without my drones getting shot down, right now."

"FUUUCK!" Hawkes rasped, turning off ship comms and leveling his fiery gaze on the compound.

"Here's your 'mere' show of force, CUR."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Music: "The Only Thing They Fear Is You", by Mick Gordon | YT Only)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hawkes sprinted up the hill where the autocannon turret was obliterated, using its remains as cover when he crested the hill and spotted hundreds of gun barrels pointing directly at him. They unleashed a wall of lead and hellfire on him, tearing away the metal and fibers of the derelict autocannon and rapidly removing Hawkes' cover. A second later, one of the Magna Caedes sprinted up the hill, planted one strong foot at the crest, and propelled himself several meters into the air, gaining a bird's eye view of the battlefield and rapidly assessing the situation- memorizing the locations of the artillery batteries, underground bunkers, sniper nests and highest concentrations of Rebel soldiers, relaying this information to Hawkes, before rocketing down toward the HQ and smashing through the roof, wreaking havoc inside as his battle brothers engaged in their own devastating combat roles whilst Hawkes made his way towards the compound.

The NCO of the Caedes fireteam, Sergeant-At-Arms Eris, scaled the multi-story buildings throughout the colony, eliminating sniper contingents and picking off troublesome enemy fireteams whilst dicing her way through scores of Rebels with the War Glaive she wielded like a centuries-old battle monk. The glaive flourished between her hands, effortlessly gliding through armor, armor, armor, flesh, bone, organ, bone, flesh- disembowling, crippling, decimating, dismantling foes as if they were still stalks of bamboo. The rare moments where her glaive was not dashing between armored bodies, she was using her fists and gauntlets to punch, crush, and backhand her way through the endless waves of Miranys Rebels.

The Magna Caedes infiltrated the settlement with superhuman speed and dexterity, climbing buildings, weaving through alleyways, and obliterating enemy infrastructure through deft sabotage that was achieved as quickly as they arrived and left the scenes of gore and destruction. Those unlucky enough to carry a pulse and encounter the superhuman warriors were quickly departed from life through a violent reckoning at the business end of their weaponry.

Hawkes ran right down the middle of the war-torn streets leading to the HQ, having to dodge flying rockets, artillery shells, the heaviest of gunfire, and incoming vehicles barreling towards him with the sole intent of running him over into roadkill. One of those Armored Fighting Vehicles careened around the corner, gunning it for Admiral Hawkes and blasting their topside machine gun with unhinged malevolence-

DSSH-CREAAAAKKK-CRRSSSSHHHHH!!!!

The side of the AFV was slammed into by a shoulder check from a Magna Caedes, the AFV turning on its side and slide-crashing across the ground, screeching unbearably as metal met gravel. The Magna Caedes rounded the armored vehicle, slamming his fist with overwhelming force against the bulletproof window -shattering it- then leveled his Riveter through the broken slit and executed the passengers inside.

KRAK! KRAK-KRAK-KRAK! KRAK!

In the same time frame, two Helixads descended on the scene, blasting the Magna Caedes, Canarii, and Hawkes with triple-barreled miniguns that sprayed the streetways with a hailstorm of high-velocity bullets capable of shredding even armored vehicles. Hawkes and the Caedes took cover, a few unfortunate Canarii ripped to pieces by the onslaught of projectiles. One of the Caedes, hailed as 'Infantrier Ajax', stepped out from cover with his Plasma Cannon, leveling it at the closest Helixad and firing.

B-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH-BOOOOOOOM!!!!!

The plasma beam slammed through the middle of the Helixad, tearing it in half and sending its collateral remains careening toward the ground in a fiery haze, spinning uncontrollably as its quick-approaching demise became ever more apparent with each flitting second.

BWOOOOOSHHH!!!!!!

The Helixad exploded on impact, bursting shockwaves and fiery blasts wafting for several meters, sending plumes of smoke into the air and clouding the battlefield with a cloud of smog as the wind blew the ashes and smoke southward across the active firefight. The second Helixad pulled out of the area, retreating tactically to reform with other support battalions to avoid the same fate as the first.

After the aerial threats were neutralized, Hawkes continued sprinting along as the echoes of Riveter shells firing off rang through his ears incessantly. Two Miranys combatants approached Hawkes out of the smoke mirage, swinging their blades at him. He ducked the first one, slamming the magazine of his Riveter into the combatant's gut, causing the Rebel to keel over as Hawkes swung his greatsword in a horizontal arc, cutting through the outermost layer of the second-approaching Rebel, who managed to hop back right as the sword swung towards him. The Rebel feigned an overhead cut with both hands, then arced his grip in a crescent shape, converting the overhead attack into a sideways cut. Hawkes brought up his greatsword and deflected the blade off his sword's edge, allowing the enemy's blade to pass up the length of his greatsword and into the air-

KRAK!

Allowing Hawkes to blast the Rebel in the face with the Riveter in his other hand, sending alloy chunks, brain matter, blood, and skull fragments showering across the roadway as the headless Rebel's body stumbled, then crumpled awkwardly across the street. Hawkes quickly stabbed the tip of the greatsword into the head of the Rebel gasping for air on the ground, right as dozens of Rebels rounded the corner. Hawkes took cover, reaching for his utility belt and pulling off a cluster grenade, tossing it over the burning AFV he was hiding behind and waiting until it detonated.

BOOOSH-KW-KW-KW-KW-KW-KW!

Hawkes immediately rounded his cover, sprinting past the dying and mutilated screaming bodies of the Rebels, watching as two of his Magna Caedes closed in on a Basilisk anti-orbital battery, cleaving their way through dozens of experienced combatants and pincering the Rebels manning the battery. After slicing the last Rebel on the platform from skull to cervix, the senior Caedes unhooked a massive explosive from his utility belt, planting it on the Basilisk whilst the junior fended off both Rebels up close and afar. Dozens flooded up the steps to the Basilisk, assailing the junior Caedes with ferocity and grit- yet they were hopelessly outmatched, ignorant as they were to this revelation. No one in this era of history had fought a Magna Caedes and survived to speak the tale.

And here, they experienced it most viscerally in their last moments.

The Magna Caedes, hailed as 'Infantrier Heracles', sprinted through the line of Rebels in front of him, sending the bulk of them flying through the air and crashing across the obliterated terrain. His war maul traveled over his helmet like an unstoppable force of nature, slamming down upon the head of an approaching Rebel and crushing them right down the middle; before the war maul was pulled back and swung horizontally, slamming into and obliterating two Rebels standing next to one another- their midsections erased by the swing of the maul, sending their chunks of flesh and armor fragments as shrapnel into the other Miranys combatants in battle. Heracles raised his monstrous leg and kicked the lower half of their torsos at approaching combatants, horrifying them with the gore of their comrades for just long enough-

KRAK! SMACK! SLAM! CRCK! SHHCK! BOOSH! CRACK!

-For Heracles to render them in shock, allowing him to sprint forward and tear his way through the crowds of Miranys warriors; using his gauntlets to eviscerate, dismember, and mutilate the enemy with brutal efficiency.

"Well done, Heracles." Hawkes relayed over his communications, garnering a momentary excitement of pure giddiness from Heracles before he resumed his death-making. Hawkes and the remainder of his Magna Caedes advanced on the headquarters, reaching the front doors in little time; their auxiliary forces having eliminated the majority of the enemy's active combatants by this point.

Peering at the double doors before him, Hawkes raised his armored leg and-

BOOOOSH!

-Slammed a hard kick across the decorated and solid surface, sending the door flying off its hinges. Hawkes stormed through the entrance, followed by his Magna Caedes as the sound of continued warfare raged on outside.

BOOOSH!

Hawkes had to do the same for another set of doors, and then another, and another, and another, until he finally reached the main chamber of the Miranys leadership; peering several dozens of highly-experienced Miranys warriors surrounding the grim-faced leadership of this mutiny- including Greine, whose face was shrouded in utter misery and hatred-rage-resentment-fury.

"You fucking tyrant," Greine hissed at Hawkes, tears streaming down his wrath-overflowing face. "I was foolish to ever think we could free ourselves of autocracy at this stage."

"The first intelligent remark you've made." Hawkes simply sneered, basking in the misery of Greine. "Where's Yvette? Even a degenerate like you wouldn't shove her into battle. She'll be leading your colony after I dismember you precisely. At least you accomplished something."

Greine chuckled, half in madness and half in pure hatred for the circumstances he'd been cursed with. "If I'm going to die at the hands of dogs, allow me a duel, you cankerous fucking cunt."

Hawkes was stunned, at first, by the outright declaration of a duel from a far inferior opponent; then the creases of his mouth slithered upwards in a malicious, predatory grin. "Let's go."

Hawkes waved his Magna Caedes to the side, walking himself to the far edge of the circular decor that etched the floor; seeming akin to a dueling arena for just the two of them.

"If I win," Greine spoke aloud, as if challenging the atmosphere that wanted badly to choke him to death in his own panic. "If I win, tell your Canari to fuck off and let us flourish on our own, or under the protection of Canaris if that's what they vote for. If I win... I want your oath that you will-"

"I predict, you will die in one minute and twenty-one seconds."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Music: "Revolta", by ARXMANE)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Greine Altomeier was UTTERLY ENRAGED.

He sprinted forward with d-e-a-d-l-y determination, evading the first few swipes from Magna Caedes before leaping into the air and unsheathing his las-blade, wreathing it down upon Hawkes' head with murderous intention-

Whoosh!

Hawkes sidestepped the downward attack, slamming his helmet into Greine's and sending him careening across the floor. Greine reoriented himself, swinging his blade upward as Hawkes approached. Hawkes tilted his head backward, narrowly avoiding the particles of the blade's deadly laser edge by centimeters, before darting into arms' reach and bringing his visor only inches from Greine's helmet.

"THIRTY SECONDS."

Greine headbutted Hawkes, rolling away and unclasping a smoke grenade from his belt, tossing it at Hawkes whilst activating his thermal vision and moving in rapidly for a killing blow. He was shocked as Hawkes countered his straight stab by using the flat side of his greatsword to allow Greine's blade to glide along its shaft- CRACK!- and Hawkes used the opportunity to smash the sharp end of his blade into Greine's helmet, shattering dozens of layers of armor and nearly reaching his left eye. Greine rolled away several times, reasserting his combat stance and in a much more frightened position than before. Fighting a Canarii Warrior was absolutely nothing like fighting Magna Caedes or Admiral Hawkes himself- this was a fight that Greine was despairingly beginning to realize had outmatched him by leagues. All he could do now was land a potential killing blow and get his home colony a chance at-

SHHHHCK!

Greine felt his left leg cleaved away from his body by a Magna Caedes that had closed the gap in the second Greine took to compartmentalize his fears- SHHHHCK! -and could hardly process as another of the Magna Caedes sliced her Glaive through his armor like butter- CRACK!

Greine Altomeier died instantly as Heracles' War Maul slammed over the top of his helmet and pulverized him from skull to clavicle, ribs, organs, cervix, floor- BWSH!

The leader of the Miranys rebellion was left in a pulverized mash of blood, flesh, bones, and sinew. Those gathered in the expansive war room-turned-battlefield were either Magna Caedes or scared-shitless sub-leaders of the rebellion, who were quickly wrought to their knees by Canarii that flooded the room, tying them up and hauling them out as Hawkes interrogated the survivors on the whereabouts of Yvette.

"You fucking indigent. Where is she? Yvette. Yes, Yvette. Your third-in-charge, you PRIMITIVE FUCK!" KRAK!

"You. Yes, you, motherfucker. Location. Yvette. Yes, HER! STOP PLAYING FUCKING DUMB-! KRAK! FUCK!"

"No, no. No teary eyes. Tell me where she is, or you die. It's that simple. You can't be fucking serious. You can't-" KRAK!

Hawkes bared his teeth at the universe as he stormed away from the half-dozen interrogated corpses in his grip only moments prior. His mind simply ignored the worst possible outcome- he had only the picture of the young girl he'd first seen when visiting this planet; that stupid-faced, bright-eyed, freckle-faced, always curious-

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Music: "Two Hearts", by Atticus Ross)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh. She was dead.

Hawkes stared down at the mutilated, half-crushed corpse of Yvette Talima, his long-time pupil and friend during his service as the Martial Governor of Eranya. The memories stabbed through his brain and dug into his soft, squishy brain matter with a blackening, primeval, antediluvian rage and agony that had been materializing in Hawkes' mind for decades.

No, I won. I killed them. I won. Fuck them. Fuck them. I won. I won. Your blood will consecrate the future of millions. Yeah. Yes. Yes. I WON. HA. HAHAH! BASSTARDS!

Hawkes stumbled out of the crumbling headquarters, watching as thousands of surrendered Myranis Rebels were hauled into the wetlands and lined up in massive rows for the Admiral's decision, an approaching storm bringing a most fitting and sorrowful downpour on the morbid after-carnage of the battlefield. He surveyed the vast collection of miles-wide destruction that was wrought over everything that could be seen by the human eye, augmented or naught; buildings leveled, corpses littering the vast landscape, massive craters from repeated artillery strikes; and in the distance, dozens of Miranys-hijacked and Canari space vessels had crashlanded, their behemothic structures adding an otherworldly aesthetic to the grim, bloody battle's aftermath.

"What's the progress of the takeover?" Hawkes muttered despondently into his internal comms network. Lord-Commander Leonidas answered him with a growling, sonorously gritty voice.

"It has been done, Lord Admiral."

Admiral Hawkes affirmed, turning off his radio and wiping the few tears that surfaced from his eyes; excessive stress fomented into inevitable sorrow and mourning for events that seemed entirely out of his control- no matter how intelligent he was, some events in the universe seemed like tragic fate. The cold, indifferent cruelty of life and the silent-cackling universe that endorsed this cycle of violence.

He stomped down the steps of the grand entrance to Miranys' city center, his dissonant and despairing eyes staring past the rows of captured Miranys Rebels. As he walked past their numbers, he stayed deathly silent, merely glowering at their cowering figures whilst he surveyed the extent of widespread destruction across Miranys, as well as the death toll on both sides of the conflict.

"Where the fuck is Nemdo?"

As he uttered the malicious question, the individual in question was hauled out roughly by Chevalier and Caz, thrown to the wettening streetside as rain came in a torrential flurry from the greying skies. Nemdo gazed up with nothing except pure terror, resentment, and hatred beaming from the slashed glare of his irises.

"I know how the Hannou feel now," Nemdo crowed as Chevalier hauled him up onto his knees. "Eranya will not forget this, you piece of shit! You've brought a curse upon you and your ship, Lord Admiral! You fucking... piece... of shit. I hate you."

"Is that all you have to say." Hawkes stated, forgetting the questioning format and simply leveling his Riveter between Nemdo's eyes. "Suffer after death."

KRAK!

He blasted Nemdo's head into pieces, watching as his lifeless, headless body crumpled to the ground. All three leaders were dead now. Their mutineers were obliterated; their defenses shredded beyond recognition along with their landscape. The rebellion was quelled. The job was done. It was time to leave.

He beckoned to his Caedes, watching them storm back to their drop pods which would soon be retrieved by industrial drone carriers and transported back to the ship in quick fashion. Despite the mission's end, Hawkes found it incredibly difficult to move at the moment; his mind was glued onto the corpse of Yvette.

What am I doing? Hawkes wondered. It had been thirty years of service. This was the anniversary date of his first year of admiralty. Consecrated by the death of ten-thousands and the blood of undeserving collateral. What the fuck- what the fuck am I doing??

Thirty years. Thirty years of service. In all that time, he had been hoping to find a reason or purpose for his existence. The war and death and terror was a long distraction, but late into his career, he began to realize that the endless carnage was not what filled the void in his heart.

There might not be anything that does, Hawkes wondered, and immediately he began to eye the Riveter holstered to his hip. My nation is in a great place. They have the Magna Caedes. They have the Canarii. They have the best generation of Atriarchs we could ask for. They're on the top of their game. And they're free of past historical atrocities, I did the heavy lifting there. We're good. We're good to go. We're good to go. I like this view. I really like this view. I didn't think I'd like the view this much. But I wouldn't mind this last view. I think it's the best I'll get. I'm happy with what I've achieved. I hope my people flourish. I hope my crew is happy and successful. What great people I've been surrounded by-!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Music: "Over & Over", by Rio Romeo)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Lord-Admiral, WHATTHEFUCKAREYOUDOING-?!"

Hawkes raised the Riveter to the underside of his helmet-

KRAK!

-The bolt propelled like a rocket from the cartridge, slamming into his jaw and fracturing it, even with the RMPDs attempting to neutralize the nauseatingly close collision. The Magna Caedes, who had locked into the drop pods, were practically carving their way through the front door hinges to reach the Admiral as he was attempting to kill himself in rapid fashion.

"STOP! STOP, HAWKES!" "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!" "NOOO! NOOOOOOO! NOOOOOO!!!!!!" "AAAAAAAAAAAAAA, PLEASE STOOOOOP!!!!"

Please take me out-! PLEASE-!

KRAK!

Another bolt delivered to the underside of his helmet; even with the armor he wore, a point-blank shot from a Riveter was the equivalent of a horse kick to the face. His jaw was shattered, his teeth pulverized by the blast; the rest of his skull reverberating violently and shaking his brain in such a forceful way that he nearly suffered an instant concussion. DEAR GOD, ONE MORE-!

Crck-KRAK!

Infantriere Perseus, screaming bloody murder, smacked the activated Riveter out of Hawkes' hand with such force that he shattered Hawkes' arm and broke it in several areas, promptly tackling the Admiral and pinning him to the ground to prevent him from attempting to harm himself any further.

"LORD ADMIRAL, HAVE YOU LOST IT?! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL US ALL?!"

"LEEHHH 'EEEEE 'IIIIEEEE, 'UUUU 'UUUCKKKINNN' INNGRAAYYYHHHEEE!"

Admiral Hawkes frothed at his half-obliterated mouth, utterly enraged at still finding himself painfully conscious and alive, writhing against the unsteady hold of Perseus. The rest of the Magna Caedes moved to help secure Admiral Hawkes, who pushed several of them off and attempted to reach for the Riveter before having his arm broken and secured against the floor.

"Fucking hell!" Lord-Commander Leonidas muttered through his internal comms; the only time in his entire life he had been genuinely shocked and upset by the turn of events unfolding before him. "A manic episode. Tend!"

His laconic language was aptly communicated to the other Magna Caedes, who quickly hauled the restrained and quickly-sedated Admiral onto a Helixad which would transport them to the Argonaut II. Leonidas stood at the steps of Miranys' headquarters, peering out with a grim expression at the destruction wrought upon the once-humble and bustling labor colony.

"Infinitely fortunate ROT OF THE SOIL," Leonidas hiss-growled like an abominable hybrid of feral animals; venting his frustrations in this rare moment when he hardly ever got the chance to otherwise. "Dread that day our Icon perishes, if ever; it will be the last day you experience Peace."

More Trinkeys stocking soon - starting with SHT45 Trinkey

Back in 2021 we were on a real tear (https://blog.adafruit.com/?s=trinkey) making a whole bunch of 'low cost and easy to use' USB devices called Trinkeys (https://www.adafruit.com/search?q=trinkey): the idea is you could just shove it into your USB A port on a computer or laptop and get instant access to a few NeoPixels (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4870) or an APDS9960 proximity sensor (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5022) or a rotary encoder (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4964). buuuut then there was a massive chip shortage (https://blog.adafruit.com/category/adafruit-video/chip-shortage/) and we couldn't get any ATSAMD21E18's which power most of the designs. welp, we have lots now. so lets keep designing Trinkeys!

This is a trinkey with an SHT45 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5665), a favorite humidity and temperature sensor! The factory code will just spit out temperature and humidity over the USB Serial port in CSV format for easy integration. there's also a neopixel and a captouch sensor. we added a U-shaped cut-out to minimize self-heating from the neopixel or samd21 chip to get the best accuracy, we'll also have a version with an SHT41 that's less expensive (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5776)

[dielukedie-subaru]

Since there has been some interest in my current intake, here is it broke down. I have tried numerous setups but this custom OEM+ version is the best and passes stupid SMOG visual check.

I also intensely studied the 2.5RS forums and looked at dyno charts showing that this IS the best when combined with a 2.25" cat back exhaust and equal length headers. Trust me!

This was a lot work as well as trial and error and willingness to start over again and redo it again several times. I think this was also the lightest combo if you trying to reduce weight.

One of a kind custom intake for the naturally aspirated Subaru EJ25D....

First up is you need the intake tract/duct and hoses from an earlier model Subaru Impreza or any Subaru that has this intake tube vs the stock version with the "torque box" behind the throttle body. Junkyard is your best buddy.

I had expensive high performance mandrel bent blah blah blah intakes which I constantly struggled with keeping the metal tubing cool (I used a laser temp gauge). This plastic is basically the same but rarely gets too hot to touch. So, actually a cold air intake if you keep reading.

Since the entire manifold needed to come out, I painted it wrinkle red and polished the runners and throttle inlet.

The reason I removed the manifold was to install stainless studs to make installing the 10mm thick teflon spacers and 2 sets of gaskets easier. Similar to 8mm Grimmspeed phenolic (previously installed) but thicker. This mod makes a big difference, the entire manifold now stays cool. No more engine block heat soak, only ambient engine bay heat.

"For every 5 degree reduction in temperature, increases power by 1%"

You have to extend the EGR tube and possibly grind your ignition coil pack mounts lower. Because the entire manifold assembly will be sitting ~12mm higher.

I was fortunate enough to work with the gasket maker. So he made 10mm teflon intake manifold spacers and a matching prototype 10mm throttle body spacer! Again 2 gaskets to ensure no leaks. Not sure if these were ever made available afterwards since I was the first car.

This spacer combo increased plenum volume as well as helped to keep heat transfer drastically reduced.

Using my custom ported, polished and knife edged throttle body that I did myself with the coolant hose permanently bypassed and the cruise control bits removed. Keep in mind you will need longer bolts if you use a spacer here. Definitely improved throttle response after just the throttle body swap.

I scored this GC8 v3 factory resonator/cold air intake inlet from the UK. It's what goes with those fender plugs. Grabs cold air from inside the fender behind the corner light up high, so no chance of sucking up water. FWIW, You really shouldn't just delete the "snorkus", seriously, it's just gonna mess up your MAF sensor.

I was also able to make the resonator from a SVX work in the 04 Outback with some persuasion. It too takes air from the same location but the box was hard to cram in the fender.

The intake tract will work with whatever air filter box but in order to use the EUDM WRX intake inlet/resonator you will need the matching filter housing box from an earlier model or have to drill a new mounting hole. You will need both halves!

BEST panel filter on the market IS made by Grimmspeed! Don't waste your money on any other filter! I also added a Filter Wears waterproof inlet cover/pre-filter to the resonator just incase of water spray. The factory option fender plug fills that hole.

And I'm not sure if this was an upgrade or not but here is the JDM JECS MAF I am also using. Used DEI gold heat reflective tape to keep it cool and extend the life. Possibly more consistent/accurate readings?

The only other things installed are a Weapon R catch can to the PVC, which DOES keep some crap out of the intake tract and off the throttle body but probably no real performance advantage. Plus a heat/flame resistant "sock", same as around my fluid reservoirs, over the bendy/flexible bit of the intake tract just after the MAF. That area is prone to splitting/cracking with heat and age!

Now for treasure at the end of the rainbow! I am actually gonna give you nerds the mother fucking part numbers! These can be life savers when searching for parts.

*You might have to make or reuse your PVC, crankcase, IAC valve hoses. So grab whatever is attached if your at the junkyard or hit up the auto parts store.

What Are The Methods Used By Logistics Companies To Manage And Track Their Holdings?

The field of logistics focuses on organizing and controlling the flow of various resources. This includes the movement and processing of items, resources, technology, activities, people, and data in addition to the physical goods themselves. Transport, packaging, storage, loading and unloading, and maintaining the proper temperature and humidity are all components of this process.

It also involves the management of storage and flow in both directions (forward and backward). Logistics monitoring refers to the processes and technologies that are utilized for keeping track of valuable transactions while they are being transported or stored.

Because of monitoring of your logistics, you will constantly be aware of the whereabouts of your items, equipment, and other assets, as well as what is coming up in the near future.

What exactly does the term "logistics management" mean?

Management of operations and management of logistics are inextricably linked to one another. The process of obtaining materials, creating them, packing them, and distributing them from the factory to merchants is an example of what is involved in the logistics process.

The majority of the time, logistical operations take place in both the forward and the backward directions. When we talk about logistics, we usually mean activities such as receiving an order delivery, assessing and organizing stock, packaging and picking an item, delivering it, and choosing a transport method to provide the goods to a customer as quickly and effectively as is possible. These are all examples of logistics.

In the other way, any procedures that include managing faulty or broken deliveries, recovering products, as well as reusing and recycling materials, are referred to as "reverse logistics."

The majority of delivery management solutions also include a route optimisation planner, which, as its name implies, locates the optimal routes in a matter of minutes.

The time-consuming process of manually arranging routes can be eliminated thanks to route optimisation. Automatic route planning assists dispatchers and drivers alike in determining the routes with the shortest distance or the fastest travel times by taking into account a wide variety of factors, including traffic bottlenecks, road closures, one-way traffic, weather conditions, as well as other scheduled deliveries.

What approaches are taken in the process of logistic management?

In the field of logistics, global positioning systems, also known as GPS or GPS sensors, are currently used for much more than simply assisting drivers in traveling from one location to another. There are currently more choices available than there have ever been before because to the proliferation of mobile technologies such as smartphones & digital applications for sustainable and logistical mobility.

The introduction of GPS technology ushered in a period of profound change within the transportation industry. They are developers of smartphone applications who are able to offer you modern GPS automobile tracking solutions like courier route delivery apps. These solutions have the features that are essential to the success of a business and are demanded by both customers and companies.

The tracking and reporting service also includes phone call assistance, which indicates that the customer may receive information by voice call.

Additionally, this indicates that the consumer may track their package. Carriers may also make use of a variety of additional services, such as messenger. Voice call assistance is utilized in order to record the data and then send it on to the end user.

To monitor the whereabouts of your vehicles, you can use either your iPad, laptop, or mobile phone. In the event that an unfavorable circumstance develops, the Voice call help will get in touch with the drivers to collect the necessary data and would then notify the customers.

Calmness will be provided to you via voice call services and assistance, which also comprise the provision of help.

When getting ready for spin and maintenance interruptions, tracking logistics is also an extremely important step. It is possible for a plant to lose income totaling hundreds of millions of pounds per day or even more when it is unable to operate. Because of this, it is imperative that all components, modules, technologies, and other essential supplies be delivered on time. 

Monitoring in real time 

With the use of a real-time tracking tool, managers and business owners are able to maintain real-time visibility on their delivery employees. The GPS tracking of drivers enables managers or administrators to be aware of the location of the driver, the current state of the driver's assignment, as well as other information such as the amount of time spent idling and in transit, as well as the distance idling and in transit during any given time period.

The purpose of logistics tracking is to monitor the movement and condition of shipments so that appropriate employees may be scheduled and appropriate precautions can be taken in the event that a shipment is delivered early or delivered late.

Depending on the goods, the manner of transportation, and the requirements of the customer, logistic monitoring may involve the use of barcoding, RFID, and GPS devices. Possible to employ one of these three strategies depending on the situation.

You can use a courier route delivery tracker app for your courier service to improve the overall efficiency.

I mentioned in my big post about the Alien Alien AU that robots are pretty widely used by the Asterothiriots, and that I would make a post just for the service androids because that post was sooo long so THIS IS THE SERVICE ANDROID POST THEY DESERVE IT

Though they have the proportions and general appearance of a human, you can still tell they’re supposed to be robots, for they’re covered in some kind of metal plating and are usually a shade of blue or gray.

Example of colors can be found here!

Specific features vary, but some common ones include large, glowing eyes and wide jaws.

More advanced androids may have clocks built into their eyes.

They are far more stronger than any Asterothiriot.

They are required to wear a ribbon on their arm to mark them as service androids.

Heart-eaters can take over them, sometimes permanently as it’s easier than having to hop in and out of a screen. You can sometimes tell if one is possessed if their eye color has changed.

Their voice, if they have one, is usually rough and hard to understand. Pronunciation can sound very strange, and the voice itself is interspersed with clicks, buzzes, and beeps.

In this universe they follow Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics, though here “human beings” is changed to “biological beings.” Ironically enough, human beings are one of the few beings that robots are allowed to harm. Protection androids may have more exceptions to that rule.

They are usually classified as property, and they are built with a specific purpose in mind. Some are re-programmed to be able to “choose” this purpose of theirs, but it’s rare, and the Three Laws conflict with their ability to do what they want to do.

It’s socially acceptable for robots used in war to be captured by the enemy and then modified, though it’s obviously inconvenient for whoever had that robot before.

Most service androids are used in a variety of jobs. They can be used to keep homes and spaceships clean, or they can work in factories, or can even be used as bodyguards or soldiers (the protection androids). Sometimes they are built to serve and protect specifically one Asterothiriot, in which case they are usually programmed with more life-like features and are considered sentient by some. Now that we have the basic android features down, I can talk about those higher quality androids!

Examples shown: male-presenting android on the left manufactured by the BENTINCK firm, and female-presenting android on the right manufactured by the VILLIERS firm.

They may have added tactile sensors. These give them the sense of touch, and can be turned up lower and higher. If they are turned to a low setting, the robot can feel a sensation such as pressure or temperature, but not anything specific. If they are turned to a high setting, their sensors become much like our own sense of touch. However, they’re not used to all the sensations, and can easily become overwhelmed. If they are at the highest setting, they can even feel the air against them. Some of these sensors are meant to simulate pain.

They are also programmed with unlimited knowledge and can answer most questions an Asterothiriot will ask them. Sometimes they’re not aware they know something until asked.

To make them more realistic, they can be built with artificial hair on their heads or be given clothes to wear. Due to the tactile sensors, these features can be unpleasant for the service androids.

Though they are programmed with a more realistic personality than other androids, they still fall short of a “proper” personality for an Asterothiriot. The personalities will vary depending on what type was commissioned, but some features include speaking very bluntly, insistent repetition of certain words and phrases, needing instructions and social cues specified, and feeling unsettled by eye contact with a biological being.

While other service androids need to be charged, these higher-end androids are powered by radioactive energy within them that eventually runs out, to simulate a lifetime passed.

To simulate aging, some are upgraded every year or so until they reach a point where they resemble an adult. This is very rare, as it is expensive and uses up a lot of resources, but Bentinck is this kind of android, so it’s worth mentioning.

Androids who have been programmed to serve a specific purpose never have families, and those who are allowed to choose what they do with their life almost always decide against starting one due to the whole aging process mentioned above. There are a few that do, however, and these robotic children are allowed to choose their own purposes as well. Usually they will have personalities that are much more “acceptable” in the eyes of the Asterothiriots due to being raised like biological children and not spending the first few years of their lives in an environment like a lab. If they are captured, their programming can still be switched to serve one purpose after all.

It’s debated by the Asterothiriots whether or not service androids are sentient, emotional beings. Some studies have revealed that service androids can experience certain emotions in their programming, and of course the sensors mean they can feel pain. But not everyone is so convinced, as it’s hard to believe that an AI who fails to pretend to be sentient is sentient. As of now, they continue to be classified as mere machines, though some Asterothiriots treat them differently.

The military helicopter pilot who after the crash replaced her legs with a snake's lower trunk, essentially becoming a sort of naga. She's got a backup cyberbrain that handles slithering, and she's now got a very long, VERY strong, third limb. She wears a stylized snake-head helmet to complete the effect. I know like four people who've seen her real face.

"Marshmallow" augmented herself to work in high-temperature environments. She looks roly-poly, but it's almost all insulation, with a fine mesh of sensors and manipulation aids. She can do the work of five guys down at the plasma factory. Every so often she sheds the ablative exterior, takes a vacation incognito, then comes back and prints some more exterior to wear.

Diver Dannie is also plump, but with her it's to insulate against cold. She's four foot zero inches - perfect for Arctic sub dives to maintain the underwater data centers that run our ultra-computerized civilization.

Kel looks, well, lumpy. Her proportions look weird to my mammalian silhouette identification system. But after that one incident, she swore she'd never be without a weapon ever again. Now nobody's sure how many she's packing, and nobody wants a reason to find out.

Choo choo a train of Trinkeys - first stop? SHT45 Trinkey!

Back in 2021 we were on a real tear (https://blog.adafruit.com/?s=trinkey) making a whole bunch of 'low cost and easy to use' USB devices called Trinkeys (https://www.adafruit.com/search?q=trinkey): the idea is you could just shove it into your USB A port on a computer or laptop and get instant access to a few NeoPixels (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4870) or an APDS9960 proximity sensor (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5022) or a rotary encoder (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4964). buuuut then there was a massive chip shortage (https://blog.adafruit.com/category/adafruit-video/chip-shortage/) and we couldn't get any ATSAMD21E18's which power most of the designs. welp, we have lots now. so lets keep designing Trinkeys!

This is a trinkey with an SHT45, a favorite humidity and temperature sensor! The factory code will just spit out temperature and humidity over the USB Serial port in CSV format for easy integration. there's also a neopixel and a captouch sensor. the samd21e18 is fairly low power and as long as the NeoPixel isnt on full blast we don't think there'll be a lot of self-heating. lots more Trinkey's coming down the pipe! any suggestions you have for other Trinkeys you want us to design?
