What WOULD a Friends at the Table cheez-its sponsorship even look like? Because if they made promotional cheez-its with f@tt characters on the box I would buy them (unfortunately)

[telomirage]

sometimes I play the stellar combustor for my neighbors when they're being loud because 1) I love it so much and 2) it's very much ominous

Combustor of all Mixels challenges Booger to a rematch of Murp ball for day 4 of Mixels month. Instead of doodling a murp, it's Murpball. I love how the art came out.

I am thinking so hard about how Jack said they sampled audio of wind in the stellar combustor that got negative reviews on the website it was uploaded to because it “didn’t sound like wind”

The F-35's engine produces 43,000 lbs of thrust and consists of a three-stage fan, a six-stage compressor, an annular combustor, a single-stage high-pressure turbine, and a two-stage low-pressure turbine.

Pratt & Whitney, which makes the F135 engines that power all three version of the F-35, said in a separate statement Tuesday it expects to finish the preliminary design of its Engine Core Upgrade for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter in December

The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is an American family of single-seat, single-engine, all-weather stealth multirole combat aircraft designed for air superiority and strike missions; it also has electronic warfare and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities

ali has not been able to get through a sentence this arc without everyone having a giggle fit

[fourteenfishteen]

truly it is like. brnine hears valence gave their life to kill Crysanth Kesh. Brnine watches phryg give their life to shut down the stellar combustors. everyone they're close to dies to accomplish something for the cause.

It's hard not to read Brnine taking a knife to the Princept with no exit plan as brnine deciding to do the same. or maybe just deciding to die and not caring if they accomplish something with that death. even Ali remarks that she thought Brnine was going to die. but oops. brnine does it. and survives. yum yum yum delicious survivors guilt god this is so tasty to me. sorry brnine. everybody else is doomed to die and you're cursed to live and watch. anyways gur's back

Ten.

God, it's freezing. You can't feel the cold, but you can sense ice forming on your hull and your pumps working overtime.

Nine.

None of you are supposed to be here. It was barely even a mission - just finish out a quick recon, then return home for some much-needed care.

Eight.

You wish you could reach out and let them know everything will be okay. Duncan, Gutiérrez, Harper, and especially Hwang. They've been with you for so long, on so many missions, and now you can't even talk to them.

Seven.

Your lines are broken. Deep within your bowels, your engine grinds and snarls at the last ROC battery.

Six.

The nearest friendly base is fifty-seven lightseconds away. Even if your burrow drive wasn't burn out, there was no way you had enough fuel to get to safety.

Five.

All the escape pods had been expended trying to shake off the enemy's missiles. Your crew are burning the last of the chemoflare ammo in a vain attempt to stay warm.

Four.

You wish you could reach out to them, speak with them one last time, but your control interface was damaged in the initial ambush. All your energy for the past three hours has been spent maintaining LASAP.

Three.

When the last of the fuel is depleted, you will shut down. You at least cannot suffocate, but what about them? Your entire crew - your pilot, your captain, and all the others, they would choke to death slowly on their own emissions.

No. They cannot suffer.

Two.

You turn off the emergency beacon. Nobody's coming to help.

This was supposed to be Hwang's last mission before her retirement - she deserved to rest. The bridge speakers crackle as you turn them on and start to play her favorite song.

The crew begin to sing along. Some weep. Some embrace each other.

You disable the vent purifiers between the engine room and the bridge. The fumes from the ROC combustor can cut circulation in a matter of minutes. They will not feel pain.

One.

You are alone. You are empty. Your engine dies silently, and as system after system freezes over in the cold nothingness of space, your mind stutters to a halt.

Transcript

Stargrave Elcessor is sitting in her office just repeatedly pressing the button, just over and over again. Click, click, click, click, click. She's watching her feeds, hoping that it will explode, hoping that she will die, that everyone will die, because to her, death is less scary than the threat of fundamental real change.

[Nothing is Stationary starts playing]

But nothing happens when she hits the button. Nothing will ever happen when she hits the button ever again, when anyone hits this button ever again. And to be clear, by taking them offline, it's not just that you've prevented them from exploding. It's that, you know, exploding is their secondary function already. It used to be that these things were built to explode. But for the Divine Principality, stellar combustors were built to prevent explosions, metaphorical and mundane. They are a threat meant to pause possibility, to halt history itself.

And that is what deactivating the stellar combustors has done. This is what Millennium Break has done. It's opened up history. It's created possibility for people across the galaxy. Boots are still on necks, but the biggest hammer, the sharpest knife, the strongest disincentive against pushing back is gone.

And they might do it quietly. But the people on Tartarus 5 celebrate. On Lonn and to Helaine Delta in Thulsa and Xenacip. They celebrate on Bhopal Kha and Maine and Bishamonten, on Carjal and Isfahan and all the rest. On research stations and refineries and on standard spread worlds: not everyone, not every one, but some people touch hands and light candles and some launch fireworks and hide before anyone asks any questions

And some people make plans. On Altar and Brighton and Crown and Gift-3, they make plans. On Moonlock and Seneschal and Skein, on Thyrsis, and on Volition, and on the Brink, and all throughout the Twilight Mirage, they make plans. And in Sinder Karst and in Joyous Guard, in Carhaix, on the Isle of the Broken Key, in City City, on New Oath, in the Crown of Glass, in Baseline; all across Palisade, the plans are already in motion.

Jade Kill: in motion. Violet Cove and Rose River, Carmine Bight and Gray Pond: in motion. The Blue Channel: they're moving on them now, because against all odds tomorrow is coming and it brings more work. And for the first time in weeks, the sun will feel good on their skin as they do it.
