#computer of doom

[tea-with-eleni]

There is a mysterious computer in one of the planetarium offices. When I found it, it was underneath a computer desk (normal). It did not have a plug (weird). It had a monitor on the computer desk and a keyboard (normal). They could not be plugged in to the computer (weird). It turns on, and I went looking for a monitor cable that would fit because the planetarium has a big bucket of monitor cables stored behind the dome. It seems to use some variation of a VGA cable; exact species could not be determined, and a cable that was the correct gender could not be found. (weird.) The computer seems to have been custom built and has a 2TB hard drive visible. I cannot discern its purpose.

My working theories are:

It ran the previous planetarium software prior to its current system.

It has something to do with the laser shows.

It's the backup drive for... something.

It has a label that says "PREFLIGHT"; this implies it was stolen off an aircraft somehow.

It's alien technology that, based on its bizarre assortment of ports, got punted out of an alternate reality.

Open to suggestions with how to deal with the thing.

I now have 2 computers based on 486 processor and what's interesting is that they are at opposite ends of the 486 line up. On the left, a 486DX25 from 1989. The second is a 486DX4-100 from 1994, a high end version before the complete switch to Pentium. They are perfect for enjoying DOS games from the first half of the 90s before the release of Windows 95

I think AM should run for president of the United States with Ted as the vice. I’d vote for them.

Honestly I’d vote for them too

Bonus: AM got bored after an hour in office

Kiss that lamb , Shamura 💥💥 !!!!!!!!!!! Allure is already so INCREDIBLY Smitten w them so its really funny that no matter what theyll blush like a red fire hydrant While Shamura has Little to No blush (so for any of these four they dont even blush to begin with-)

I wanted to do more than four types of kisses but I wasn't rlly sure what else to do, Maybe palm kiss ? Hand kiss ? These served as warm ups regardless :>c

Though as fun as it is to make allure so flustered i do want to make room for shamura receiving their four share of kisses next :-Dc

the thing that often gets me about photographer tim (among many things, tho i will note for the record i do enjoy the concept of a tim who sneaks out of the downtown condo to go watch a crime scene nearby with the rest of the rubberneckers and tries to see if he can catch a glimpse of bruce and dick and maybe try and snap a pic if he does) is that often photography, something tim canonically doesn't show any particular interest, is transformed into this hobby he absolutely adores above all else and it's like. man. where's his sherlock holmes society membership. why can't he join the batfam early when he meets dick at the local sherlock holmes book club at the library. where are any of his actual interests here.

tangientally related. when notable archeologists (a job profession dedicated to archiving history and is very into art and culture and preserving it), bad parents jack and janet drake, think that photography is an inappropriate hobby for their son-

PLEASE DO NOT TAG AS YOUR OWN OC OR PAIRING.

Nathan and Ruben share a bond more powerful than most; mutual understanding through past experiences no one should ever have to go through, and through past actions so horrible they cannot be spoken of. Their grief and the blood on their hands binds them to the STEM technology they created, which has alienated them from the rest of the world— but they give each other the comfort they have both longed for so desperately for years, and that is all they need. They are each other's counterpart; you cannot imagine one without the other, like two sides of the same coin. Through their pain, their grief, their desire, and their regret, they have become one.
