ANDROMEDA ROGUE ☆ a writing excerpt + song

in celebration of reaching 40K on this draft, here is an excerpt that also includes another little song i wrote for this wip! this is from Finneas’ POV for some reason, but he’s not the star of this scene.

EDIT: i ended up changing the company’s name from “Hiudra” to “Aquadae”, but i’m too lazy to change everything in this post.

words: 936

andromeda rogue wip intro ☆ read the other excerpts here

Masking his annoyance at his failure to sway the security guards, Finneas snaked his way through crowded tables back to the bar, where Valyan had taken a seat on one of the stools and was swinging their legs back and forth, while Petra, still standing, cocked an eyebrow at him.

“Let me guess,” Petra taunted. “Your ‘charm’ didn’t work.”

“We’re gonna need some sort of distraction,” Finneas said, ignoring her. “Anything to get the guards away from that doorway long enough for us to slip past them.”

His eyes scanned the bar in search of ideas. He could instigate a brawl, but then he would have to be able to leave the fight before the guards got there, and he ran the risk of getting hurt. He considered bribing one of the waiters to call the guards to the entrance, but then he remembered he didn’t have any money. Or maybe he could—

“What kind of people come here?” Valyan asked.

“Oh, you know. Smugglers. Traffickers. Ex-convicts. A lot of Hiudra delivery people in between shipments,” Finneas listed off. “Not a lot of tourists, though. It’s a bit too grimy to be a hotspot for vacationers.”

Valyan cocked their head. “Hiudra delivery people, huh,” they echoed, then turned to stare at something at the other side of the room.

Finneas followed their gaze. At the end of the bar was a simple stage bathed in purple light, on which a single microphone stand leaned precariously against the wall.

Petra must have noticed it too, because she groaned. “Please don’t tell me you’re thinking what I think you’re thinking.”

“I’m thinking exactly what you think I’m thinking.” Valyan grinned and cracked their knuckles. “It’s my time to shine.”

Finneas turned to Petra, bewildered. “What are they thinking?” he demanded.

Before he could even register that Valyan was no longer on the stool, screeching feedback filled the room as they leapt onto the stage and grabbed the mic.

“Hey guys!” they chirped, giving the room a wave. “How’s everyone doing tonight?”

A few of the patrons glanced up, only to return, disinterested, to their drinks. Most people ignored them.

“It’s kinda quiet in here,” Valyan went on over the rowdy chatter. “How about we liven things up with a song, huh? Anyone here know ‘Old Man Greed’? I heard a lot of you work for Hiudra and probably have a lot of pent up rage.”

Aside from a few grunts and murmurs from the crowd, no one seemed to pay attention.

“Whatever they’re trying to do,” Finneas hissed, “I don’t think it’ll work. This seems like a tough crowd to crack.”

“You’d be surprised at what Val can do,” Petra whispered back, anxiously keeping her eyes on the stage.

Unwavering, Valyan began to stomp on the stage with their foot, creating a steady thump, thump, barely audible over the clatter of the bar. They opened their mouth to sing, and the clearest voice Finneas had ever heard rang through the room.

“Oh I have been out in the stars for so long

With no single planet to which i belong

To carry a box for a greedy old man

Who pulls all the strings on his greedy old plan”

A couple of curious heads were now turned towards the stage, intrigued by this tiny kid and the sound they were able to produce from their mouth. Sensing the shift in the room, Valyan launched into the second verse with even more energy.

“I have not seen nor the ground nor the sky

Through ast'roids and warp holes and stardust I fly

And yet at the end of my perilous trip

I'm barely paid to get fuel for my ship”

By now, several more feet joined in the stomping, and fists pounded the tables. Finneas was stunned to see the amount of lips moving around him, singing along, with some even adding harmonies and counter-melodies. Some people at the back of the room even stood up on their chairs to get a better look. By the time Valyan led them into a third verse, not a single pair of eyes was on anything else but them.

“Oh I have a babe on the orb I call home

And while I’m star skippin’ my babe’s all alone

I fear by the time I return to my bed

My babe would have found someone richer instead”

The crowd was getting rowdier by the minute, whooping and yelling and maintaining the beat as Valyan paused between verses to do a little dance. Petra rolled her eyes at her sibling’s antics, but couldn’t resist a smile. 

Whirling around to face the crowd after a move, Valyan locked eyes with Finneas across the room and, grinning, gave him a wink.

He glanced at the veiled doorway. Both guards had abandoned their post to keep an eye on the riled up crowd.

“Let’s go,” he hissed, giving Petra’s sleeve a tug, then started towards the doorway. She cast a final look at her sibling before hurrying after him. Making sure the guards weren’t paying attention, he quickly shoved aside the curtain and ducked inside the darkened hallway, holding it up for Petra to pass as well, as the fourth verse filled the bar.

“While I am out here, Old Man Greed’s on his throne

While he’s in his castle I’m out on my own

If I weren’t trying to keep food on my shelf

I’d send Old Man Greed to the slicer myself!”

Finneas let the curtain fall, and the music in the main room was muffled abruptly as the two were plunged into obscurity.

time for some ✨behind the scenes lore✨

i had been trying to figure out how to write this thing for about a month, and then it all came together suddenly while i was in the shower. i was partially inspired by the sea shanty trend, of course, but i was MOSTLY inspired by union work songs like this one.

melody-wise, it kind of ended up being a ~dark~ version of “Fathoms below” from The Little Mermaid lmao, and then i got a little carried away (as i always do) and added counter-melodies because i gotta put my degree in music to SOME use god dammit

in the AR universe, Hiudra (i’m not completely satisfied with the name, i might change it) is the biggest interplanetary shipping company in the sector. think Space Amazon. Hiudra delivery people would have to travel long journeys through space to make deliveries, which were often lonely and sometimes dangerous, only to get paid pennies. “Old Man Greed” refers to the billionaire CEO, of course.

there are three other verses of an alternate version, but those are somewhat spoilery to someone’s backstory, so i won’t be sharing them here.

OOF OKAY thanks for reading all of that! lmk if you want to be added to the taglist 🥰

RBI has released draft Frameworks for ‘Sale of Loan Exposures’ and ‘Securitisation of Standard Assets’ About: These draft guidelines are applicable to all Scheduled Commercial Banks (excluding Regional Rural Banks); All India Financial Institutions (NABARD, NHB, EXIM Bank, and SIDBI); and, all Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) including Housing Finance Companies (HFCs). The guidelines attempt to align the regulatory framework with the Basel guidelines on securitisation that have come into force effective January 1, 2018. The revisions also take into account the recommendations of the Committee on Development of Housing Finance Securitisation Market in India (Chair: Dr. Harsh Vardhan) and the Task Force on the Development of Secondary Market for Corporate Loans (Chair: Shri T.N. Manoharan), which were set up by the RBI in May, 2019.  Important Info : Salient features of draft guidelines: Only transactions that result in multiple tranches of securities being issued reflecting different credit risks will be treated as securitisation transactions.Two capital measurement approaches have been proposed: Securitisation External Ratings Based Approach (SEC-ERBA) and Securitisation Standardised Approach (SEC-SA).A special case of securitisation, called Simple, Transparent and Comparable (STC) securitisations, has been prescribed with clearly defined criteria and preferential capital treatment.The definition of securitisation has been modified to allow single asset securitisations. Securitisation of exposures purchased from other lenders has been allowed.Standard Assets would be allowed to be sold by lenders through assignment, novation or a loan participation contract . The Stressed Assets, however, would be allowed to be sold only through assignment or novation.Requirement of Minimum Retention Requirement (MRR) for sale of loans has been done away with.  Source : The Hindu (Economy) Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has said that the COVID Emergency Credit Facility covers all companies and not just Micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) About: The Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme (ECLGS) is the biggest fiscal component of the Rs 20-lakh crore Self-Reliant India Mission package announced by Finance Minister last month. Under the scheme, 100 per cent guarantee coverage will be provided by National Credit Guarantee Trustee Company (NCGTC) for additional funding of up to Rs 3 lakh crore to eligible companies and borrowers, in the form of a guaranteed emergency credit line (GECL) facility. For this purpose, a corpus of Rs 41,600 crore was provided by the government, spread over the current and next three financial years. The scheme will be applicable to all loans sanctioned under GECL facility during the period from the date of announcement of the scheme to October 31 or till an amount of Rs 3 lakh crore is sanctioned under GECL, whichever is earlier. The main objective of the scheme is to provide an incentive to member lending institutions to increase access and enable availability of additional funding facility to borrowers, in view of the economic distress caused by the COVID-19 crisis.  Source : All India Radio (Economy) Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) have recorded at least 14 earthquakes of low or medium intensity since April, 2020 About: As per the 2002 map by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), India is divided into four seismic zones – viz. Zone II, III, IV and V – based on seismicity, earthquakes occurred in the past and tectonic setup of the region. Delhi falls in Zone IV, which makes it vulnerable to earthquakes. Delhi does not lie on a plate boundary. It is located on a single plate, and the seismic activity is generated by internal deformities. Important Info : Seismic Zones: Zone II: This is seismically the least active region. It covers parts of India that are not included in Zone III, IV and V.Zone III: Comprises Kerala, Goa, Lakshadweep islands, remaining parts of Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat and West Bengal, Parts of Punjab, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.Zone IV: It covers parts of Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh, National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi, Sikkim, Northern parts of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal, parts of Gujarat and small portions of Maharashtra near the west coast and Rajasthan.Zone V: This is seismically the most active region. Parts of the Himalayan boundary in North and Northeast India fall in this zone. Kutch area in the West also falls here. Remaining parts of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttranchal, part of North Bihar and Andaman and the Nicobar Islands are included. Source : Indian Express (Disaster Management) A new study suggests that one of the ways of effective social distancing strategies to keep the Covid-19 curve flat include the idea of social bubbles About: A social bubble is a close-set of people i.e. like family, with whom we interact on a regular basis. During the current lockdown, a social bubble is limited to the members of a household with whom one interacts on a daily basis. However, as things normalise and conditions in general improve, this bubble can grow larger. It can then include close friends and relatives and neighbours. This in a later stage can expand further and include any person with whom we may need to get in contact with in our daily lives. The idea is that if people decide to expand their bubble gradually and make sure that they meet and contact only those who come inside their existing bubble, the risk of the spread of COVID-19 can be limited. It also reduces the psychological and financial harm of lockdowns.

It was built between 800 BC and 1,000 BC. One of the most remarkable revelations from the find was the complete lack of stone sculptures related to rulers and elites, such as colossal heads and thrones, that are commonly seen in other Mayan temples. This suggests that the people who built it were more egalitarian than later generations of Mayans.

Axons are long tubular extensions of nerve cells that transmit electrical signals across long distances and can be up to a meter long in the case of humans. At such lengths, they are subjected to large stretch deformations during limb or other bodily movements. Axons in the brain too undergo significant deformations, even during normal activities like jumping. Important Info : Axons vs Dendrite: An axon is one of two types of cytoplasmic protrusions from the cell body of a neuron; the other type is a dendrite.Axons are distinguished from dendrites by several features, includingshape (dendrites often taper while axons usually maintain a constant radius),length (dendrites are restricted to a small region around the cell body while axons can be much longer), andfunction (dendrites receive signals whereas axons transmit them).

It is non-contagious. Health impact: Albinism is associated with a number of vision defects, such as photophobia, nystagmus, and amblyopia. Lack of skin pigmentation increases vulnerability to the sun and bright light. As a result, almost all people with albinism are visually impaired and are prone to developing skin cancer. Cause: Albinism results from inheritance of recessive gene alleles. In almost all types of albinism, both parents must carry the gene for it to be passed on, even if they do not have albinism themselves. Prevalence: The condition is found in both sexes regardless of ethnicity and in all countries of the world. Treatment: There is no cure for the absence of melanin that is central to albinism.
