SCP AMTF Nu-7 Cosplay - Hazardous Environment Level II

Depicted here is the typical loadout of a conventional Nu-7 light fighter in a Level II rated hazardous environment. Each level, ranging from I to IV, has a typical hazardous environment protection requirement that outlines the necessary support that a task force member needs to complete their objectives within the working area. Showcased here is an example of a Nu-7 operative working within a Level II Hazardous Environment. Required protection when working in this environment is a standalone gas mask with a filter rated for riot agents. The standard issue gas mask of Nu-7 forces is the Avon Protection C50. This is a variant of the famous M50 which uses standard NATO 40 mm thread filters. In addition, the Avon C50 and M50 series gas masks are designed to be worn under a ballistic helmet.

The primary use case of Level II Hazardous Environment equipment is when the element is operating within an area that has an elevated risk of hazardous particles in the air or riot control agents and tear gases including CS, CN, and OC pepper spray present. Such a location would be none other than a Foundation facility or other subterranean structure. This operative carries his Avon C50 in a gas mask bag slung bandolier style over the right shoulder.

All Nu-7 fighters must be tactically proficient in sub-t operations doctrine as foundation sites primarily consist of large underground sections. Additionally, many anomalies take the form of caverns and other fully enclosed environments. To this end the standard Nu-7 fitment during a sub-t operation may vary in specialization, however in this display we can see the operative is in Level II Hazardous Environment status with night vision equipment. A respiratory device and night vision equipment is necessary when working within subterranean operations as there can potentially be zero ambient light within sections of the workspace and contaminants do not disperse quickly and tend to settle in place if there is no flowing air. Such an environment is not hazardous to direct body contact to warrant the use of a full CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear) suit, but hazardous to the operative's respiratory system. In this situation a simple gas mask with a CTCF50 Riot Agent Filter would suffice.

The Nu-7 unit may have to breach certain entry points while on mission. For this task they may be equipped with large breaching tools like the Stanley FuBar and Halligan equivalents. Smaller tools such as a jimmy prybar, wire cutters, and wearable specialized breaching tools like the Gerber Downrange Tomahawk could also be seen. Other breaching tools can include large prybars, bolt cutters, rams, saws, and other mechanical, explosive, ballistic, vehicular, or thermal options.

On August 9th 1757 the civil engineer Thomas Telford was born in Dumfries.

This is the man who laid vast amounts of the foundations of Scotland ,England, Ireland and Wales, he has had numerous buildings, bridges, roads and even a town named in his honour, yet in my opinion is often overlooked as one of the great Scots of our past.

Telford was born at Glendinning, Westerkirk, Eskdale, Dumfriesshire, he never knew his father, John, who was a shepherd who died when Thomas was about 4 months old, Telford was raised in poverty by his mother and their relations, Thomas never let this get to him though and as he grew up was given the nickname "Laughing Boy"

Telford left school age 14 and started working with a stonemason and helped build new roads and a farmhouse on the estate of a local duke. Despite the nature of his day job, with its intensive long hours, Thomas studies at night to learn all there is about construction. By 25, he’s worked in Edinburgh and is off to London. He meets with two Scottish architects Robert Adam and William Chambers, the latter is building Somerset House and Thomas is given the job of some addition design work, no mean feat for the man who is relatively self taught.

It was while in London he met an acquaintance from his youth, William Pulteney, the Scottish advocate, landowner and politician was from Dumfriesshire and reputedly the richest man in the country Putney took Telford under his wing and, there was no looking back after this, it's always handy to have the richest man in Britain as your new patron, and in 1786 Pulteney commissions him to start converting the derelict, Shrewsbury Castle. He remodels the interior into a house complete with panoramic platform and a folly Tower for the wife. He’s a prolific and imaginative creator. Pulteney is impressed. He finds work for Telford as surveyor of public works in Shropshire,a new job created just for the new engineer.

The majority of Telfords' work was in Shropshire, he built an amazing 40 bridges in the county alone, it was no wonder they named the new town in his honour in 1968.

Projects Telford is renowned for include, The Caledonian Canal, Dunkeld Bridge and the famous Telford churches in Scotland, the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Menai Suspension Bridge in Wales and The Avon Aqueduct and numerous canals and roads in England.

In his spare time Telford turned his hand to poetry and contributed verses to ‘Ruddiman’s Weekly Magazine’, under the pen-name ‘Eskdale Tam’.

Thomas Telford died on September 2nd 1834 aged 77, he is buried in the nave of Westminster Abbey; a statue was erected to him nearby, in St Andrew's Chapel adjoining the north transept.

Pics are of Telford, one of his poems and Plockton Church, which you will see similar churches throughout Scotland.

Today, President Biden put forward a clear, realistic and just plan to establish an immediate ceasefire and end the war in Gaza a plan that ensures Israel’s security, returns hostages taken on October 7th to their families, increases aid into Gaza and relieves the suffering of Palestinian civilians, and engages Israelis, Palestinians, Arab countries and the broader international community in the process of rebuilding Gaza. A ceasefire alone won’t ease the terrible pain of Israelis whose loved ones were butchered or abducted by Hamas, or the Palestinians whose families have been shattered by the subsequent war. It won’t resolve the longstanding conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, or answer contentious issues surrounding a two-state solution or continuing settler activity in the West Bank. But what it can do is put a stop to the ongoing bloodshed, help families reunite and allow a surge of humanitarian aid to help desperate, hungry people. It can save lives, here and now - and it can lay the foundation for what will be a long and difficult road to a future in which Israel is secure and at peace with its neighbors, and Palestinians finally have the security, freedom and self-determination that they have sought for so long. As the tragedy in Gaza has unfolded over the past eight months, we’ve witnessed an often fierce public debate here at home and around the world - regarding how the United States should respond. But no matter where each of us stand in these broader debates, an enduring ceasefire is something we should all support for the sake of Israelis, Palestinians and the world at large. I am deeply encouraged by the steady, tireless efforts of President Biden, Secretary of State Tony Blinken and our diplomatic team to bring this awful war to an end. Barack Obama 31 mai 2024

Aujourd'hui, le président Biden a présenté un plan clair, réaliste et juste pour établir un cessez-le-feu immédiat et mettre fin à la guerre à Gaza un plan qui garantit la sécurité d'Israël, rend les otages pris le 7 octobre à leurs familles, augmente l'aide à Gaza et soulage les souffrances des civils palestiniens et engage les Israéliens, les Palestiniens, les pays arabes et la communauté internationale dans son ensemble dans le processus de reconstruction de Gaza. Un cessez-le-feu à lui seul ne soulagera pas la terrible douleur des Israéliens dont les proches ont été massacrés ou enlevés par le Hamas, ni celle des Palestiniens dont les familles ont été brisées par la guerre qui a suivi. Cela ne résoudra pas le conflit de longue date entre Israéliens et Palestiniens, ni ne répondra aux questions controversées autour d’une solution à deux États ou de la poursuite des activités de colonisation en Cisjordanie. Mais ce qu’il peut faire, c’est mettre un terme à l’effusion de sang en cours, aider les familles à se réunir et permettre un afflux d’aide humanitaire pour venir en aide aux personnes désespérées et affamées. Cela peut sauver des vies, ici et maintenant et cela peut jeter les bases de ce qui sera un chemin long et difficile vers un avenir dans lequel Israël sera en sécurité et en paix avec ses voisins, et où les Palestiniens auront enfin la sécurité, la liberté et l'autonomie. Détermination qu’ils recherchent depuis si longtemps. Alors que la tragédie de Gaza s’est déroulée au cours des huit derniers mois, nous avons été témoins d’un débat public souvent féroce, ici chez nous et dans le monde entier, sur la manière dont les États-Unis devraient réagir. Mais quelle que soit la position de chacun d’entre nous dans ces débats plus larges, un cessez-le-feu durable est quelque chose que nous devrions tous soutenir dans l’intérêt des Israéliens, des Palestiniens et du monde en général. Je suis profondément encouragé par les efforts constants et inlassables du président Biden, du secrétaire d’État Tony Blinken et de notre équipe diplomatique pour mettre fin à cette terrible guerre. Barack Obama

Jacobs' Journal: Tape #8 - The French Connection

<- Previous | Masterlist | Next ->

[START LOG]

Jacobs: Personal log, and I suppose... Happy New Year’s.

Jacobs: Been a long and uneventful month or so since my last recording, but seeing as most staff the choice of either Hawaii or Barbados, while my only choice was between milk or soy in my coffee, you get the idea.

Jacobs: It makes it difficult to enact much of a plan when half the people you need aren't around. But, as the holidays drew to a close, I could finally see what opportunities arose as the Foundation slowly began to populate once more.

Jacobs: Lambert would take the longest to return to his station as Site Director. Go figure. Colonel Hillard as well took a few more days in the comfort of seclusion, leaving Major Chen the leading authority in charge. As it just so happened, this meant I could reel in one of my bigger fish, one I failed to mention earlier.

[Rest bellow the cut]

Jacobs: My plan requires a great deal of misdirection in order to succeed. I sadly cannot be the one to pull the trigger that ends Lambert's... career. That duty falls to another. I let slip to Chen that I would need some time to stroll around the Euclid containment area, and he obliged by informing me of patrol rosters the following day. I also had Engineer Rowe working maintenance on the day in question, fixing up the particular cell I intended visiting. This... is the result of my adventure.

[click]

(footsteps)

Jacobs: Hello?

SCP-049: Another one? (two muffeled thuds) So soon? And alive, as well. This is a welcome surprise.

Jacobs: I'm not here for the slaughter, and before you try, know that my death will hold all your practices indefinitely.

SCP-049: Forgive me, how rude of me to assume. You don't even appear to be dressed in the garb of my... usual subjects.

Jacobs: I am no subject.

SCP-049: No, sir, but your ilk considers me as such.

Jacobs: If it were up to me, that would not be the case. If the Pestilence is a real threat to life as we know it, then I would not hamper your research into curing it.

SCP-049: But you, sir, are not in fit position.

Jacobs: No... and please, drop the sir. I am Administrative Oversight Jacobs. While I may not be able to change your current predicament, you are aware of who holds that power?

SCP-049: I believe that would be your Site Director.

Jacobs: Y-...yes. How did you-

SCP-049: The scent of the Pestilence cannot hide. It lives within all to varying degree. Yours is minuscule. But his... I can sense him through the walls, the glass. His body is an outline of light amongst the darkness. Though he is not here, I can still feel him, and soon he shall return. No doubt to interfere with my research even further

Jacobs: I wouldn't be surprised. But events are ever-changing, and paths sometimes cross the allow for great change to be possible. All that is required is a little help.

SCP-049: I'm listening.

Jacobs: The Site Director is a hamper are not just yourself, but me as well. In order to ensure my ascension in power I will be required to remain impartial in events... by perception. If you were to remove the picture, that would not only give me a power vacuum to fill, but would be of a great benefit to you.

SCP-049: And the body... is mine.

Jacobs: Naturally. So, what do you think?

SCP-049: I could kill you now. (footsteps) *049 gets louder* I do not truly believe anyone would notice.

Jacobs: *breath quickens, voice gets bit more quiet* And give up the opportunity just study such a specimen as him?

SCP-049: Nous avons un accord. (We have an agreement)

Jacobs: Merci. (Thank you)

[click]

Jacobs: To be frank, I was not expecting 049 to even be willing to negotiate like that. He hasn't appeared very... picky as to whom he operates on, but it seems Lambert has ultimately touched a rather sensitive nerve with the good doctor. Instructions have been passed on to Engineer Rowe to allow us to covertly control the door to 049's cell,... should the need arise.

Jacobs: Major Chen is also working on getting in contact with Technician Miles to complete our official team of misfits. I'll have to abbreviate our names from now on, I think, in case any unwanted guests have to find these tapes. My concern was peaked today when I found a note outside my cozy hideaway.

Jacobs: Luckily, I saw it was from McCrimmon, in relation to getting in contact with me. He's been scheduled to perimeter duty next Tuesday, and if I turn my shifts right, I can sneak out meet up with him on the surface. Suppose I'll see you next Tuesday, Mr. McCrimmon. <whispering, under breath> Ugh, Jesus Christ.

Jacobs: Administrative Oversight Jacobs, signing back in.

本語能力試験 (JLPT)

Dans la salle où a lieu l’examen, trois boules disco pendent du plafond. Touche festive qui se marie mal au silence précédant la remise des copies. Tout le monde fixe le vide.

Salle de bal, moquette, vague odeur de cigarette. Longueur et lenteur. Trente minutes avant l’heure.

Ryan et moi nous sommes inscrits sur un coup de tête au JLPT, ce test de langue standardisé qui détermine l’avenir de beaucoup d’immigrants au Japon. Une idée que nous avons eue en mars, lors des vacances scolaires, quelque part au milieu de ces journées sans école qui s’éternisent et se confondent maintenant dans ma mémoire. Un défi, s’était-on dit, pourquoi pas.

À la reprise des cours, cette idée fut vite écartée. Puis, retour en flèche tout juste un mois avant l’examen. Constat inquiet: on aurait dû s’y mettre il y a longtemps.

Ryan m’a déposée beaucoup trop tôt. Inquiet de l’état des parkings dans ce coin de Kōchi-centre. Impossible de le raisonner — toujours à son rythme.

Je regarde mon téléphone; vingt-huit minutes avant le début de l’examen.

Un message de Juliette sur mon écran. Elle fera le même examen que moi, à des kilomètres de là, au pied du Mont Fuji où elle habite.

🪩💃🕺 — sa réponse à ma photo des boules disco.

Nous avons toutes deux une confiance très moyenne en nos habiletés. Il y a quelques semaines, en annonçant à Maryko, une partenaire de taiko, le niveau pour lequel j’avais opté — coup de grâce.

« N4? » s’était-elle exclamée. Le bout de ses doigts couvraient le trait inquiet de sa bouche. « N’est-ce pas un peu trop ambitieux? »

Le JLPT se mesure sur cinq; de N5 à N1, en ordre croissant de difficulté. Le N4 a une valeur nulle. Il n’est même pas remboursé par notre employeur. À peine une stepping stone vers les niveaux les plus importants, de N3 à N1.

L’expression consternée de Maryko, piqûre.

J’en parle à Kusumoto le lundi, tâchant de ne pas laisser le découragement m’atteindre.

« Ah, » me dit-il, vague relent de pitié au fond des yeux. Sur son écran de téléphone, traduction, et revers de la gifle: « Mais tu as payé pour le prendre, cet examen. Vaut mieux y aller tout de même. »

Peu de réconfort à puiser auprès de lui.

Je me ré-attelle à mon étude de kanji, wanikani, comme chaque jour depuis mon arrivée au Japon. L’impression de le faire pour rien. À quoi bon, avec ma mémoire de carpe. Tous les mots se ressemblent; variations autour du kyo, kyō, ko, kou, kyu, kyū. Et les kanji qui font presque douter de notre lucidité, 夫, 末, 天.

La honte, la lenteur.

L’air doux-amer des gens qui me disent sur le même ton que mon japonais est bon depuis le début — compliment qui tourne à la farce plus le temps passe. Nihongo jōzu desu ne.

Se faire ré-expliquer le sens du même mot plus de cinq fois d’affilée. Kusumoto, forcé d’apprendre l’anglais pour palier à mes lacunes. Tax. License. Pay. No pay.

La rangée des liquides à l’épicerie. Huile, vinaigre, mirin, sake — liquide clair dans une bouteille illisible, aux kanji stylisés et intraduisibles.

Terminer une conversation, et se rendre compte du ridicule de mes erreurs après coup. Front pressé sur le volant de ma voiture.

Mon père, au téléphone. À quoi ça pourra bien te servir, tout ça. Même réflexion que lorsque je lui avais annoncé mon départ.

Toutefois, ces moments.

Dans la toile opaque de la langue, le flou sombre du quotidien — un éclat de lumière. Quelque chose, saisi, enfin.

Kihon, foundation.

Souzou suru, to imagine.

Kekkyoku, in the end.

Modoru, to return.

Trou d’aiguille dans la toile, à la clarté si fine qu’on en doute presque. Scintillement lointain, qui peu à peu se rassure, se concrétise, se joint à ceux des autres. Tracé, tapisserie.

Quand je rentre au soir, après ma pratique de taiko, le ciel noir de Muroto s’éclaircit. Fil des saisons. Nous sommes loins des lumières de la ville, et loin des profondeurs de l’hiver.

Après un an à en faire l’ascension tous les jours, depuis peu, je monte les escaliers de mon bloc appartement sans avoir à m’aider du flash de mon téléphone.

Sur ma copie d’examen, des petits reflets de lumières tournent, lents.

Je lève les yeux vers les boules disco, et me sens sourire.

Put On Your Raincoats | Mistress Electra (Costello, 1982)

I'm always down to revisit the wild and woolly world of Shaun Costello, but I found this pretty underwhelming. Not to sound like a scumbag, but if you're going to put it on your poster that your movie "incorporates every fetish and has the most electrifying bondage and discipline scenes [you] have ever shown", one would expect your movie to be at least moderately kinky. I believe this is something Costello cranked out for the Avon chain of theatres, which students of sleaze will know competed by showing the most extreme dirty movies on the Deuce. Sadly, the kink factor here is pretty minimal.

Only one scene has any element of kink, and it's a pretty mild domination scene, although the presence of Marlene Willoughby makes it the highlight of the movie. Willoughby plays a photographer taking erotic pictures of George Payne as he gets dominated by Linda Vale as the titular Mistress Electra until she takes over, and with the precise diction of her dirty talk and her exaggerated raised eyebrow reactions, she's a winning presence as usual. ("Ooh, a cock ring. He must be a cocker spaniel.") And you could say she brings a whole new meaning to getting the shot, if you wanted to practice some Shalitisms. It's also novel to see Payne in a submissive role, when usually in Avon productions he did the shouty scary shtick that he nailed down to a science. 

Other than that, this holds some interest for Costello auteurists as you can see elements of his style at play, particularly the way he cuts to stolen music. I guess he really enjoyed around this time Thief, because he uses Tangerine Dream's soundtrack to score the better sex scenes in the movie (both the aforementioned scene as well as another photography-themed threesome involving different performers). You can also see Costello playing with his style in the earlier sex scenes as well, with the red background in the loop and photography scenes, but while the action in the loop scene is pretty spicy, the heat is greatly undercut by the lack of diegetic sound and the constant cutaways to the viewers. Also, if I'm going to complain about the lack of kinkiness, it seems like a waste to cast Jeanne Silver in an Avon porno, use her for a single scene, and not even let her put her most famous feature to use.

You also get the private detective plot, which usually provides a nice seedy foundation for plottier pornos, although Ashley Moore, weirdly jovial narration aside, doesn't make the most memorable private dick, as well as the attempts to tie the plot together with street scenes, although setting these in a park really undercuts the energy level. Also, while there are some good performers here, Rod Pierce as the male lead really sinks the movie with his total lack of charisma. (He does get one pretty good line though. "This is the '80s, the age of pornography.")

So this is only really of interest for Costello auteurists, although there are plenty of others you should prioritize over this one.

SCP AMTF Nu-7 Cosplay - Hazardous Environment Level III

Depicted here is the standard loadout of a conventionally armed Nu-7 operative in a Level III rated hazardous environment. Each level, ranging from I to IV, has a typical hazardous environment protection requirement that outlines the necessary support that a task force member needs to complete their objectives within the working area. Note that Level IV Hazardous Environment protection encompasses all hazardous environment loadouts which include thaumatological or anomalous equipment intended to protect from specific anomalous entities or regions. As such a Level IV loadout may appear as any of the previous three loadouts with the aforementioned supplementary equipment.

Showcased here is an example of a Nu-7 operative working within a Level III Hazardous Environment. Required protection when working in this environment is a standalone gas mask with a filter rated for all CBRN threats and a fully sealed CBRN suit equivalent to US military MOPP (Mission Oriented Protective Posture) Level 4 standard. This standard includes a full seal gas mask, gas mask hood, gloves and overgloves, boots and overboots, and the CBRN overgarments itself. The standard issue gas mask of Nu-7 forces is the Avon Protection C50. This is a variant of the famous M50 which uses standard NATO 40 mm thread filters. In addition, the Avon C50 and M50 series gas masks are designed to be worn under a ballistic helmet. In this protective level, the Avon C50 is paired with a standard issue Avon Gas Mask Protective Hood. When secured to the wearer and worn under body armor this hood provides full seal protection around the neck and face. The standard issue overgloves and overboots are AirBoss lightweight models. The overgloves are paired with a glove liner for additional comfort. The overboots are worn over standard footwear. The Foundation supplies state of the art CBRN suits to all AMTF units which provide full protection against all threats while also providing some comfort for the wearer. This example is a GORE CPCSU-2 CBRN Jumpsuit. This suit uses advanced materials that allows for increased freedom of movement, less noise when moving, and less user fatigue over time.

The primary use case of Level III Hazardous Environment equipment is when the element is operating within an area that has a known threat of CBRN agents. To counter this threat, the operative is equipped with a CBRNCF50 (NIOSH) Filter that protects from all gaseous agents specified in the NIOSH CBRN standard. This operative carries his Avon C50 in a gas mask bag slung bandolier style over the right shoulder. The usual combat clothing will not suffice in such an environment, so the operative wears a CBRN suit over his standard uniform. The operative cannot remove this uniform until proper decontamination protocols are completed under any circumstances. This includes the good, the bad, and the ugly of sustainment in the working area. Because of this, AMTF units that work within such an environment are quickly rotated out in order to prevent total fatigue. CBRN suits quickly drain the wearer of water as the lack of airflow causes a buildup of perspiration and exertion increases body heat which in turn increases perspiration, causing a vicious cycle of losing liquid. As such water intake is extremely important when operating in a CBRN environment, and the C50 gas mask allows for the operative to safely drink water while in the working environment using the built-in drinking tube paired with a canteen with a gas mask cap. This drinking system allows for the user to safely drink water without the risk of exposing themselves to any deadly contaminants in the air.

The fully sealed nature of a gas mask means that it is difficult to speak through the faceblank and filter and still be understood in a combat environment. A Voice Projection Unit, or VPU, allows the wearer to speak through a microphone placed inside the gas mask that projects the wearer's voice through a voicebox mounted on the front of the gas mask. This allows the wearer to speak audibly without yelling to nearby peers. Should the element choose to speak solely through the radio, a separate wire is needed that connects the C50 to the communications headset. This allows for clear communication through the radio but decreases audible effectiveness towards anyone not within the radio network - a positive or negative aspect depending on the scenario.
