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

While Skye was making prison friends, Carol was having an even less fun time being restrained and forced to confront the Supreme Intelligence. 

“Just tell us you want a second chance, dear,” offered the kind older woman who served as the AI’s avatar for Carol.

“Mar-vell would have never asked me to beg for my life,” Carol spat out. “She taught me kindness and decency, and how to tell truth from lies!” 

The avatar laughed. “Apparently not well enough, hm? You honestly thought all those poor little tribes on all those horrid little planets were in need of rescue? You stormed in and saved the day, taking out rebels defending their homes, thinking you were crushing terrorists with your decency and kindness and your radiant powers. That’s not how this universe works, Captain. You’re alive not because of some inhuman or Mar-vell or even Yon-Rogg out there. You’re alive because I WILL IT.” 

Carol snarled in response. “Someday, I will destroy you so you can’t hurt anyone anymore.” 

“I’ve heard enough,” the Supreme Intelligence raised her palm in dismissal. “But Yon-Rogg has convinced me that your powers are worth salvaging so I’ll be merciful this once. Apologies that you can’t say goodbye to your little pet in the inhuman holding cell downstairs.” 

The smile that had reassured Carol a thousand times, helping to raise her into something more than the Kree intended, now twisted into a sadistic grin. It sickened Carol to see this face worn by the Supreme Intelligence long after the real Mar-vell had been killed in action. Carol began to wonder if Mar-vell’s death wasn’t an accident or a simple war casualty. She wouldn’t put it past the Kree to engage in friendly fire to take out a liability. 

The Supreme Intelligence withdrew, and Carol was thrust back into reality, handcuffs and all. Natasha pulled her up off her knees roughly. 

“What’s the verdict, then?” Yon-Rogg inquired. “Did you do as I told you to?” 

“Go to hell,” Carol responded, repeating a phrase Skye had taught her from Earth slang. 

“I’ll take that as a no then.” Yon-Rogg frowned and clapped his hands in finality. “Ms. Romanov, escort the captain here to the re-education ward. Zxan-Darr can show you the way.” 

Pierce cleared his throat and started off down the hall. When they passed a large glass outer wall, Carol did a double take. The stars had a weird effect to them. At first, she thought it was the wall, perhaps a hologram or a fake space scene of some sort, but the effect seemed to be approaching. 

Static sounded in her ear. “Don’t respond,” came Maria Rambeau’s voice. “But your ride has arrived.” 

The soft click of triggers being pulled sounded in the background. 

“Knock knock,” Melinda quipped. “Sensors disabled. Doors open in 3-2-1…” Another click and the floor beneath her trembled as the bay door opened. 

Carol couldn’t help but exhale in relief and steal a quick glance at Natasha as she must have heard the same. 

They had a way home. 

—----------  

“Skye, Carol, Natasha,” Maria Rambeau addressed. “We’ve landed. We’ll head to the inhuman floors first. Natasha, can you handle freeing Carol and getting to the ship?” 

Natasha made sure there were no guards in sight before she answered. “It’d be my pleasure.” 

“Who are you talking to?” Pierce demanded as he whipped around, but Natasha wasted no time. With a punch and a swipe of her leg, Pierce was on the floor. He scrambled up, but Carol brought down her thick handcuffs on his head. 

She grabbed his thumb and pressed it to the sensor on the cuffs, and they clicked open. She kicked his gut and chirped, “Thaaank you!” 

“Incoming.” Natasha nodded behind them, where a door opened to guards shouting and running their way. 

Carol blasted a burst of light at them and nearly giggled in delight despite the obvious danger. Having her powers back was rejuvenating, like she was back to her full self again. 

They ran toward the closest staircase and climbed down as fast as they could, with the commotion behind them growing louder with each floor. An alarm blared, and Carol resisted the urge to cover her ears. They had to press on, no matter what, if this plan had any hope of working. 

Panting, Carol led Natasha down corridor after corridor, blasting hot white light in the direction of anyone who got in their way. She ushered Natasha past a set of heavy doors and locked them in. 

“Maria, we’re right outside the airlock. What’s your status?” Carol asked.

“We could use your help up here,” Maria whispered. “We’re trapped in an entry point. A guard is checking Skye’s floor, but he’s using some sort of code to get the doors open on each side and we can’t get through.” 

“I don’t know the code,” Carol admitted, “but I can come provide firepower.” 

“I’m in,” Natasha agreed. “Looking through the window on the door to the docking bay, the guards in the bay are still iced with no replacements in sight.”

Up in the prison cell, Skye exhaled in relief. “Okay, the guard here is gone. Carol, if you can get here and blast us out, I can handle installing the virus. I still have the USB drive. And I have two friends who are coming home with us.” 

—----------- 

At this, Lincoln and Joey exchanged a glance through the bars. 

“What?” Skye asked. “You said you’d help us get out, right?” 

“We’ll help,” Joey reassured. 

Lincoln hung his head and then stepped in close to Skye. Damn he was gorgeous. Her heart was spoken for, but her sense of art appreciation was fully intact. He leaned in close to her ear so the others could hear. 

“I have a different plan,” he said softly. “You help us take down the Kree systems, including these inhibitors, and we help you escape.” 

Skye pulled back a few inches to read his expression. He came off so gentle, but there was a hardness there. A rebellion had been living in his heart and the heart of his people—her own people—for generations. She nodded. “Deal.” 

“Who was that?” Carol asked. 

“We’ll find out when we get there,” panted Natasha. “Stay focused. On your left!” 

Scuffling told the rest of them that Carol and Natasha were incapacitating Kree guards one by one. 

Melinda remarked casually, “I should probably explain that I took out the surveillance systems on the quadrant we came through with Fitz’s EMP bullets, so no squads, but you’ll encounter some surprised Kree on the way going about their duties.”

“Yeah, I got that!” Natasha retorted. “Thanks!”

“Anytime. And hurry up.”

Skye conveyed the action to Lincoln and Joey, “They’re on their way. I trust you two to know what you’re doing as soon as they arrive?” 

Lincoln stood ready, looking every bit the rebel warrior that he was about to become. “I can take out the power to the inhibitors once I’m on the other side of those doors, but you’ll need to crack the ceiling all the way through so Joey can destroy them. Do you think your powers can handle that?” 

“Hell yeah,” Skye scoffed. “Joey, can you open the rest of the doors to let out anyone else who can help?” 

He frowned. “Yeah. As long as the inhibitors are off, I can do it.” 

Preparing for the mass chaos they were about to unleash on the space base, Lincoln and Joey told Skye more about the other inhumans who were in on the dream of rebellion and their powers as they waited. Skye had so many questions about inhuman culture, but they had so little time. Lincoln gave her names of the few inhumans he had heard of that either won their freedom in battle or escaped from Kree colony planets to Earth, but for most inhumans, life was confined to the whims of the Kree. Skye wondered aloud how they had kept their hope alive in the face of impossible odds.

“We can’t afford despair,” Joey explained. 

“We’re survivors. Always have been.” Lincoln’s determination in those simple words shot through Skye’s sheltered heart. Her life hadn’t been perfect, but the future she would have had here in captivity was strikingly different. Her ancestors and her people had been waiting for this window of opportunity for generations, preparing for the day it would come.  

Eventually, they heard a struggle and photon blasts. 

“Get ready!” Maria shouted through the comms. Two more blasts and the prison door opened, sending off a blaring alarm. 

“Stand back,” Skye instructed to Joey and Lincoln. In seconds, Carol blasted Skye’s cell door open. Skye noticed the inhibitors in the ceiling didn’t stop Carol, but each blast took focused effort.

“That one too!” Skye called and pointed to Joey. 

As soon as she blasted Joey’s door open, Carol ran into Skye’s cell and kissed her quickly but deeply. “C’mon, let’s get that virus in their systems so we can go home.” 

“Not just that,” Skye said, already racing to the nearest computer terminal, in the entryway between prison floors where Maria and Melinda had just been trapped. “Remember Dr. Campbell? He and Joey are going to do something much bigger: freeing the inhumans to fight back.”

Carol noticed Lincoln for the first time. “It’s you!” 

“You’re welcome.” He smirked. “Help me bust out some more friends while she works?” 

“Anything you need.” Carol followed him back to the cellblock and started opening doors, aided by Joey, who served as a familiar face to the terrified imprisoned inhumans. 

Lincoln backed as far away from the block as he could and concentrated. His powers were still dampened, but he just needed one electrical shortage, directed to the right powerlines… 

A hiss, and the inhibitors stopped their buzzing. Skye sighed in relief. “That sound was driving me nuts.” 

“Sound?” Melinda asked, keeping watch for any guards. 

“Only you can hear it because of your sensitivity to vibrations,” Lincoln explained. “I could feel it.” 

Skye finished her typing, which had been much slower than normal, since this keyboard was in Kree, a language she had limited experience reading. And she was doing more than she originally planned. Her virus preventing the Kree’s return to Earth was a small piece in the devastation she was working to send cascading through their computer systems. If she could liberate her people, it wouldn’t just be with her inhuman powers but with Shield-trained expert hacking skills no other inhuman had been allowed to learn.  

“Guard that and don’t touch it,” Skye instructed to Maria, who nodded. “Let’s go take down some inhibitors.” 

With the cells empty and the prisoners huddling together at the other end of the hall, Skye and Joey made quick work of the disengaged inhibitors in the ceiling. The inhumans all visibly relaxed and then cheered. 

On that end of the cellblock, Joey peeled the exit door back as if it were a very heavy curtain. “I  have to help Skye and her friends escape, but you all go free the rest. Take out the power, smash the encasing, then I’ll come melt ’em so they can’t be used again.” 

A man who resembled an arrangement of small, dark boulders grunted and punched up in the air. “You’ve got it, bro.” 

He took the hand of a gorgeously tanned woman with sharp elf-like ears who materialized a sword made of lightning in her other hand. She said only, “We’re ready.” 

“Alisha,” Lincoln called, running up to one of the inhuman freed women. “Take care of them.” 

“I will.” She pecked a kiss on his cheek, and then duplicated herself to surround the group as they headed off to free the others. 

Joey, Lincoln, and Skye rejoined Carol, Melinda, Maria, and Natasha. 

“It’s done,” Skye announced and removed her USB drive. “Hey Sparky, can you take out their comms system?” 

Lincoln nodded and floated using static electric, high enough so he could place a hand on a speaker. With a crackle and a surge that made the lights flicker, the entire Kree audio and visual communications system went out, first in their quadrant and then in a chain reaction, all over the base, section by section. 

“Let’s go,” Melinda commanded. The group climbed the stairs as quickly as they could, with Carol and Lincoln leading the way and Skye and Joey watching all their backs. Melinda, Maria, and Natasha kept a lookout for the first signs of trouble, but when it came, it wasn’t subtle. A group of blue, heavily armed Kree ran in their direction to head them off before they could get to the corridor that would take them to the bay where their ship was waiting. 

Carol sent photon blast after blast ahead of them at the approaching Kree. The human women shot their icers and fought those who made it through hand to hand, disarming their attackers with speed and precision, even though they weren’t strong enough to take them down. Skye blasted vibrations as she fought, sending weapons flying out of the way while Lincoln shocked them with lightning bolts from his hands. Joey tightened the Kree armor around the attackers and melted the remaining metal weapons in their hands until they were defenseless on their knees, trapped in their own protective gear. 

Blasts and booms and punches clamored throughout the corridor. The more warriors that came to help, the more crowded the floor became with iced, killed, and otherwise unconscious Kree bodies. 

“I’ll take care of these,” Joey volunteered, gathering the Kree weapons into a pile. He melted them into puddle. A very shiny, slippery metal puddle strategically in the middle of the walkway, forming an obstacle for the Kree to have to cross. The puddle got too hot, however, and instead opened a gaping sinkhole in the floor. The floor’s supporting structure began to crumble in front of a horrified Joey. “Uh oh.” 

“This way!” Carol shouted and blasted open a door that led to the docking bay. More footsteps marched in echoes behind them. “Go, go, go!” 

Once they were through the doors, everyone but Lincoln and Joey took off running to the ship across the bay floor. Lincoln and Joey hung back but kept a lookout for any Kree attackers. 

Skye noticed and slowed. “You’re sure you’re not coming?!” 

Lincoln shook his head and waved them on. “We have work to do here. Thank you, all of you, for helping us set it into motion!” 

“We’ve been waiting for the right time, and now we’ve got it!” Joey pumped his fist in the air on each syllable as he shouted, “Inhumans!” 

Skye returned the gesture. “Inhumans!” 

Lincoln sent her one more of his crooked bad boy smiles, then caught sight of a Kree warrior approaching. The two inhuman men returned to the fight. Part of Skye clearly felt pulled to help, but Carol touched her shoulder. 

“Let’s go home,” Carol offered. “They’ve got this.” 

Skye nodded as they climbed into the Saber ship. “They’ve been planning all their lives for this.” 

Melinda turned around from the pilot’s seat and winked. “I may be able to help with that, if Carol doesn’t mind a little field trip.”

“I get to fly in space?” Carol confirmed. 

“Give me just a minute.” Melinda promised, making adjustments to her nav screen as Maria began flicking buttons. 

“Shield command,” Maria Rambeau addressed Maria Hill and Phil. “We are ready for blast off.” 

“You are go, Saber. All systems ready,” came Hill’s response. 

Melinda and Maria launched the ship, shooting one of the ship’s mounted rifles at the door open button on the way out to open the docking bay to the expanse of space. 

“Whoa,” Skye exhaled. She hadn’t seen it on the way in. Carol watched Skye’s wonder, reawakened to the awe and majesty of the universe on display in front of them.

“Carol,” Melinda said, punching buttons on her screen. “I’m going to fly over their weakest shielding point. If you can blast through it with all you’ve got, they won’t be able to trail us. Be quick, though. I’ll have to turn off cloaking to open the airlock.” 

“Got it.” Carol stood ready at the airlock door until Melinda opened the interior one to let her through to the pressurization chamber. 

“Come right back when you’re done, young lady, do you understand?” Melinda teased. 

“No worries, Agent May. Couldn’t keep me away if you tried.” Carol looked back through the interior door window at Skye, who was watching her anxiously. 

“Please be safe,” Skye whispered. Carol winked and engaged the helmet built into her suit.

“NOW!” Melinda called and opened the exterior door. 

Carol ignited in radiant glory, her whole body glowing with angelic power as she soared through space and down to the base that held so much pain and trauma for her. She sliced through the shielding easily. If sound traveled in space, a loud war cry turning into a WOOO HOOOO would have been heard. She grew brighter, eyes glowing pure white, with her own personal supernova haze around her, making her hard for the rest of the Saber team to look at directly. She saw the base’s missile turrets turn on her and she sped toward them, wrecking them with sheer power. 

One after the other, she ripped through the base’s defenses on that side. The bay doors began to open again. 

“Carol!!!” Melinda called. “Get in here!” 

Carol zipped into the ship and powered down, the biggest grin on her face.

“I’m in!” she called and pushed the button to close the exterior door. She came inside and retracted her helmet. “That should buy the inhumans some time. And us.” 

“Everybody strap in!” Melinda commanded. Half a second later, they were in hyperspace, leaving the Kree base (now being mutinied into an inhuman stronghold) in the stardust.   

—------------ 

Phil and FitzSimmons rushed the team off the ship as soon as they landed back at Shield. Once inside the building, Phil and Melinda led the pack, hand-in-hand, with the rest falling in behind. Agents in the halls stepped aside as the team marched past. 

Fury sat at the head of a large conference table in a formal meeting room with the Shield logo looming large on the wall behind him. Hill sat beside him in the deputy director spot. The division director position was, obviously, empty due to Pierce’s vacancy. 

“Coulson,” Fury gestured to Pierce’s open chair. “You’re up for a promotion.” 

Melinda sat beside Phil, not caring if she was taking anyone’s assigned seat. Skye fell in line behind her, and Carol, naturally, next to Skye. Natasha and Maria Rambeau rounded out the other side. 

“Congratulations,” Fury began. “You have just completed the first mission of Saber. You have also had contact with alien lifeforms, and as such, must undergo our quarantine procedures. Dr. Simmons?”

He gestured to Jemma, who stood and pressed a remote. A picture of a tropical beach appeared. 

Jemma spoke, “In reward for your extraordinary service, and in accordance with our new medical debriefing procedures, you will all spend the next two weeks at our decontamination facility.” 

As Jemma flipped the slides through beautiful tropical photos, Melinda turned to look at Phil, impressed. “Is that Tahiti? You always were a romantic.” 

Phil smiled. “Shield-Tahiti. Close by the real thing, but a manufactured private island made for this purpose. Only other difference is it’s a family vacation this time instead of a honeymoon.” 

Melinda didn’t say anything but looped her arm under his and patted his bicep as they returned to the presentation. Yeah, he did good. 

Carol’s heart didn’t know she could be this happy. First the exhilaration of flying fully uninhibited in space, repaying her debt to the inhumans as she had sworn to do, contributing to the end (at least in part) of her former captors’ reign of terror, and now a mandatory two-week vacation with her girlfriend and new family? 

Fury barked, “Agent Danvers, approach.” 

He and Maria Hill stood as Carol blinked and then hesitantly obeyed. 

Hill opened a beautiful wood box to reveal a folded black leather rectangle. 

“Is that?” Carol whispered in awe. She’d seen Skye’s badge before, and the others had shown her theirs when explaining what Shield stood for and why they joined.   

Maria Hill nodded. Fury took the badge out of the box and placed it in one of her hands while taking the other to shake it. 

“Agent Danvers, welcome to Shield.” 

Skye let out a whoop of celebration and the others laughed and applauded until it became a standing ovation. 

Carol’s overwhelming joy turned to tears, which she quickly wiped away. “I don’t know what’s wrong with me,” she laughed. “Sorry.” 

Skye rose and hugged her tight. “It’s okay. We do that all the time here when we’re too happy for words. After all, you’re only human.” 

This set everyone laughing again, and plenty of others joined her in the shedding of happy tears.  

Hill cleared her throat and held up a pack of N-95 masks from the medical ward. “Two weeks’ quarantine! You have until 3 p.m. to go pack, masking required in the hallways or around anyone not currently in this room. Don’t touch anything that doesn’t belong to one of you. Dr. Simmons has taken charge of one of the residential elevators and will decontaminate it, just in case, when you depart. You’ll go home and then meet back in time for your flight. If you aren’t here at 3 p.m., you’ll be spending those two weeks in the medical ward instead. Understood?”

“Yes, ma’am!” Carol shouted a little too eagerly. They laughed again and filed out, Carol blushing brightly as Skye giggled by her side on the way. 

“Our first vacation as a couple,” Skye flirted as they walked down their apartment hallway alone. “I have a bikini you are going to like.” 

“Oh I bet I will.” Carol licked her lips and dropped her eyes suggestively to Skye’s chest. She pulled Skye in by the hips. 

Skye slapped at Carol’s arm but didn’t step away. “Don’t start that! We have to pack and get back downstairs.” 

“We have a little time.” Carol leaned in and Skye reciprocated. Her tone and volume dropped into seriousness. “I tried to hide it up there, but I was so afraid my worst nightmare was coming true, and I was going to lose you to that place. Skye… I love you.” 

Skye melted into Carol’s embrace. “I love you, Carol Danvers.” 

Their lips met for a searing, passionate kiss with all the desperation of reunited lovers. They had been through trauma and terror in their lives others couldn’t begin to understand, but in each other, they had found the happiest of ever afters. 

The kind as rare as lightning striking twice.

October Writing Prompts—Day Six—October 6th 2021:

Prompt: Alone

This ended up being much shorter than my others so far, but It's one of my favourites, mostly because I just love writing creepy nursery rhyme themed things. So, if you like FIRE!!!!, casual jailbreaks, and ominous nursery rhymes, you might enjoy reading this!

Thanks once again to the marvellous @mythyk-art for this prompt list!

One phoenix, two phoenix, someone’s gonna burn.

Mummy had a little cat and now it’s in an urn.

Darr had a cell to himself—it was the third they’d put him in in the last few days, and it was the worst of them all, damp and dingy, mould growing in the corners of the dark stone walls, broken shackles on the floor marred by rust and stained with blood. His wrists were bound in new chains, made out of some sort of sleek black metal that was like ice against his skin, cold metal chafing his wrists and where normal cuffs would be rubbing them red-raw, these just left his blood frozen in his veins.

Both his ankles were shackled together with the same metal, and a long chain linked them to another shackle around his neck—it was too short to let him stand to his full height without falling face-first onto the cold stone floor, and it brushed against the bare skin of his back every time he moved, sending shivers running up his spine.

They’d certainly learnt their lesson.

He’d shared his first cell with two other men, so it had been large enough for him to pace around, walk in the same circles again and again until the soles of his feet begged for relief and sweat poured down him, stuck his tousled hair to his forehead like blood.

His fellow prisoners had watched him, bemused, drag himself up at the earliest hours of the morning just to traipse the same beaten track around the cell. Their eyes had gleamed with curiosity and mirth—like that had any place in a jail cell—as the new guy worked himself to the bone, running back and forth, diving into push-up after push-up, rubbing his hands together until he’d worked up enough heat to start a fire in his fingertips.

That was his Witching. Fire, heat, and everything that came with it: the phoenix was reborn in the flames, the guilty burned in it. Fire was the ultimate bringer of justice, retribution, peace. But the others feared it.

They didn’t understand the beauty in the way it danced, or the magic in the way it grew into something bigger, better, stronger—they only feared what it could let him do, and they punished him for every campfire he created as a child, every marshmallow he placed on his palm and roasted until it was too crisp to eat, caned him for every childish indulgence until the very thought of his power brought tears to his eyes.

That was what the Institution for Youth with Dangerous Witchings was for. Bringing pain, and suffering, and injustice. And what was unjust had to be burnt.

Daddy had a real mean dog, he thought it big and strong,

But it burnt down, all to the ground, and now it’s dead and gone.

Nothing made fire happier than swallowing those who would stand in its way, proving the true strength of its heat.

After his first escape attempt, they had him in a smaller cell, all on his own, so there was no room to pace around—there hadn’t even been enough room to lie down and do push-ups. He just had to sit and sit and sit, make do with rocking back and forth, back and forth, again and again, and again, a swinging pendulum on a clock counting down until the fire had its justice.

This cell had been closer to the courtyard—the sun beat against its walls, and he rested his back against them, let it fill him up like a mug overflowing. Overflowing until there was nowhere for the fire to go but out, out, out.

Now, he was so deep in the dungeons he’d never see the light of day again.

Like that would stop him.

One phoenix, two phoenix, someone’s gonna burn,

Mummy’s down, and Daddy’s gone, and now it’s your turn.

The grate on the cell door screeched open, letting a small sliver of candlelight fall into the room.

The problem with having him so deep in the castle was that the Guards needed to see to deliver food. So, when the grate slid open, and the plate of food—cold, of course, frozen for hours before it was brought to him—slotted in, the Guard needed a lantern to see.

Darr breathed in, feeling the fire fill his lungs.

Now it’s your turn.

[oh-atlas]

7, 17, 27, and 37 for darr and someone else of your choice! (second time's the charm lol

thank you!! gunna throw maxarra in / development asks!

How do they physically engage with other people, inanimate objects, and their environment? What causes the differences between these?

DARR tends to be fairly gentle with other people. She’s very big in comparison to humans and takes care to remember that. In fact, she’s very gentle with the way she interacts in general. Firm but careful to preserve the beauty and integrity of something. When with Goliath, because in this case, she’s smaller, she exerts her physicality more to prove herself and to avoid coming off as weak.

MAX is harsh. she doesn’t have much respect for things and tends to be quite aggressive in her treatment of existence. She doesn’t have much regard for the environment and is the type to push past people without any notion to apology. She tries to take up space.

Are they more shaped by nature or nurture — who they are, or what has happened to them? How have these shaped who they’ve become as a person?

DARR is primarily shaped by nature. She’s always had a fairly solid sense of identity and purpose in life and wants to live up to what is supposed to be good and right in her society. Since she woke up and found out she’s missing like, a month of her life and now has a magic tattoo she’s set out to figure out what happened in that blank spot and that’s probably going to shift how she feels about herself.

MAX — nurture all the way. she could’ve been such a different person if her parents hadn’t died and she wasn’t taken in, abused and raised to be the next chief. She’s got such bad coping mechanisms and such unhealthy emotional releases but she doesn’t know any better! She’s constantly in pain! She’s had to become something cruel and volatile to survive.

Me @ My Own Oc: Get Better Soon. Or Else.

What do they strongly like and dislike, in any category? Why?

DARR — Strongly dislikes the mage hunters (who i need to give an official organization name to whoops, was going to do inquisitors but like also feel like that’s overdone but that’s a brain cell and topic for another post) because they won’t leave her the alone! she didn’t choose to have a magic tattoo appear on her back! let her rest! She really likes the mountains and nature. She likes the feeling of being alone in the woods but it’s not lonely you know? She also likes Kasia. Because she’s pretty and nice and very fun to talk to.

MAX — Strongly dislikes most things and it’s really just to lash out. Or there are things that remind her of her childhood and better times that she just, can’t handle. She likes mystera, it calms her nerves but she also likes it too

Have they had any special education or training that colors their means of learning about or understanding the world? Conversely, do they lack some kind of education considered essential in their world? What kind of impact has this addition or lack had on them?

DARR — so Darr is a persistence hunter by trade. Shee’s very good at tracking, fighting with various weaponry and the process of hunting including cooking and tanning and butchering. She’s very patient because hunts can take days and even weeks and is just, very thorough with her work. It’s hard work and you need to take care in using your resources. Not to be a Goliath Cliche but I haven’t decided if Goliath have a written language so, can Darr read? Much less read Common? Unclear. She also doesn’t get how money works very well because Goliath primarily operate off the barter system. 

MAX — Max has a background in herbal medicine that’s pretty unique but has also been sort of buried by getting the shit beaten out of her until she could beat it up better.

MSC Continues To Invest In Low-Carbon Future: Operating Modern, Green Fleet

Improving the environmental performance of the container shipping supply chain is a common goal shared by shipping lines, shippers, freight forwarders and non-vessel operating common carriers, as well as governments, regulators, and the public around the world.

The UN International Maritime Organization (IMO) requires that from 1 January 2020, Sulphur content in the fuel used for international shipping must be limited globally to 0.5%, compared with the current standard of 3.5%, in order to minimize emissions of Sulphur oxides from ships.

MSC is committed to reducing the environmental footprint of global supply chains and keeps implementing concrete plans to modernise its green and efficient fleet via the largest container shipping investment program in the industry.

Image Credits: msc.com

Its fleet improvement program has resulted in a 13% reduction in CO2 emissions per transport work* in 2015-18. The company also completed a massive retrofit program in its existing fleet with the installation of Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems (ECGS) to reduce emissions of sulphur oxides and other pollutants. In its compliance strategy, MSC will combine the use of ECGS, conventional low-sulphur fuel and biofuels.

Furthermore, the next generation of 23,000+ TEU newbuilds – led by MSC Gülsün, the largest container ship in the world – has introduced a new class of sustainable container shipping, with the lowest carbon footprint by design, at 7.49 grams of CO2 emissions to move 1 ton of cargo 1 nautical mile.

“MSC is on a well-defined pathway to meet the 2030 IMO level of ambition for CO2 emissions intensity reduction. The great challenge which remains for container shipping this century is how to decarbonise and meet the UN IMO’s future emissions goals beyond 2030. While we are fully supporting these more distant targets, this will not be achievable without some major breakthroughs in fuel and propulsion technologies,” said Bud Darr, Executive Vice President, Maritime Policy & Government Affairs, MSC Group.

While recent improvements have depended largely on better-performing engines, more efficient propeller and rudder designs and technologies to reduce hull friction, MSC is actively studying the potential of new alternative fuel sources. The company is engaging with potential vendors to investigate solutions related to biofuel blends, hydrogen fuel cells, complementary battery power and, possibly, wind and solar, as part of a long road of discovery in relation to future policy goals.

MSC Alongside CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd Rules Out Arctic Exploration On Environmental Concerns

The leader in transportation and logistics in the world, MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company has made up its mind to not use the Arctic which is shorter route between the Northern Europe and Asia and has decided to focus on steps that can improve the environment performance on the present routes of global trade.

Many shipping lines have been testing the Northern Sea Route that lies completely in the Arctic waters thereby, taking advantage of the ice that is melting there due to global warming. The MSC has decided that the 21 million vessels that transport annually can be move around the world without making use of the Arctic Corridor.

“As a responsible company with a longstanding nautical heritage and passion for the sea, MSC finds the disappearance of Arctic ice to be profoundly disturbing. Every drop in the oceans is precious and our industry should focus its efforts on limiting environmental emissions and protecting the marine environment across existing trade routes,” said Diego Aponte, President & CEO, MSC Group.

The quality of the air and the natural marine habitat of the Arctic can be damaged due to the shipping traffic and thus, MSC does not want to take that risk.

The lowest carbon footprint by design

The decision of the company to not use the Northern Sea Route complements the strategic sustainability approach of MSC.

MSC retrofitted more than 250 of its vessels with the latest available green technology thereby, reducing the emission of 2 million tons of CO2 annually. Moreover, the largest container ship in the world is the most recent vessel added to the company’s fleet that was led by MSC Gülsün. It is a new class sustainable ship that has the lowest carbon footprint by design of 7.49 grams emission of CO2 for moving 1 ton of cargo 1 nautical mile.

The fleet improvement Program by MSC has helped to the CO2 emission by 13% for every transport work in 2015-18. This will help the maritime sector move towards the 2030 CO2 target of the United Nations International Maritime Organization. The company is committed to work continuously towards the adoption of plans to update it’s fleet to being green and efficient using the industry’s largest container ship investment program.

“MSC is on a well-defined pathway to meet the 2030 IMO level of ambition for CO2 emissions intensity reduction. The great challenge which remains for container shipping this century is how to decarbonise and meet the UN IMO’s future emissions goals beyond 2030. While we are fully supporting these more distant targets, this will not be achievable without some major breakthroughs in fuel and propulsion technologies,” said Bud Darr, Executive Vice President, Maritime Policy & Government Affairs, MSC Group.

MSC is also working to study the potential of the new alternative fuels. It is joining hands will probable vendors to find out solutions that relate to biofuel blends, hydrogen fuel cells, complementary battery power and, potentially, wind and solar.

Aaakhir woh waqt aahi gaya jisska intezaar tha. Vicky ki plan mazedar tha. To hua yeh!!

MLA ki watchman ne raat ko Rathod ko phone karke bataya ke MLA parivaar sameth kisi party mein jaa rahe hein aur sirf secutity wale aur wo maujood hein ghar ke compound mein. Watchman ne kaha ke security walon se ussne baat kar liya hai aur weh sab saath hai usske kyun ke weh log bhi tang aagaye hein uss MLA se. Phir Rathod ne Vicky ko bataya ke wo aur Khan jaa rahe hein MLA ke ghar ko.

Vicky turant apne 5 nakaabposh aadmiyon ke saath police station ke paas pohuncha unn donon ke jaane ke baad. Ek time bomb lagaya baahar se uss cell mein mein jiss mein Judish quaid tha.

Assal mein Khan se baat ho chuki thi ke Jugdish ko uss waqt uss cell se nikaal kar dusri cell mein daal diya jae nahin to woh ghayal ho jaega, aur dusri cell ki chaabhi Khan ne Vicky ko pehle se de diya tha.

To police station ke baahar se uss cell par time bomb lagaya Vicky ne jiss mein har roz Jugdish rehta tha, deewaar phata, ek darwaze jeisi entry hui, ek sub inspector aur ekaat hawaldar the jo hakbakaaate baahar dawde aaye aur baaki ke 5 nakaabposh aadmiyon ne sab ko hands up par rok liya bandook taane hue unn sab par. Pehle se Khan ne Vicky ko bata diya tha ke kitne guards mawjood rahenge police station mein uss waqt. Sirf ek hawaldaar andar reh gaya tha darr ke mare woh baahar nahin nikla, aur Vicky bhi nakaab pehne uss bomb se ki gayi raaste se andar ghussa aur Jugdish ki cell kholkar ussko baahar chalne ko kaha yeh kehte hue, “mujhe aap ke MLA chacha ne bheja hai aap ko yahan se nikaalne ke liye, chaliye jaldi waqt kum hai……” Jo hawaldaar andar tha uss ne sab suna ke MLA ke aadmi aaye the jugdish ko nikaalne police ki hiraasat se! Aur jugdish bahot khush dawdte hue usske saath nikal gaya, aur uss taraf jinn aadmiyon ne baaki ke sub inspector aur halwaldaron ko hands up par roke hue the, unn se sab ne kaha, “hum sab MLA ke aadmi hein unn ke bhatije ko nikaalne aaye hein, aap mein se kissi ne kuch bola to naukri se haath dhona padega sun liya sab ne!!!??” Aur sab jugdish ko gadi mein lekar rawana ho gaye wahan se!!

Udhar Khan aur Rathod bhi kaamyaab hue MLA ke ghar ke andar hathyaar, drugs aur bomb rakhne mein. Rathod aur Khan ke ilawa kissi ne nahin dekha ke unhon ne kahan par weh samaan rakhe! Baad mein to inn ko hi wapas aakar nikaalna tha samaan ko!

Vicky ek 4×4 drive karte hue Jugdish ko apne saath leja raha tha, chehre par nakaab pehne hue. Beech raaste mein uss ne unn 5 aadmiyon ko utaar diya aur cell se phone karke khan se baat kiya ke kaam ho gaya ab woh wapas jaa sakta hai.

Khan jab police station gaya to wahan ke sub inspector aur hawaldaron ne ussko bataya ke MLA ke aadmi ne bomb se raasta banakar apne bhatije ko baahar nikaal le gaye! Khan Rathod ko dekhkar hansste hue kaha, “Chalo bhai ab MLA ko giraftaar karna hai bomb lagaya unhon ne idhar chalo usske ghar ki talaashi lein kia pata usske ghar mein hi bomb mil jaaye, chalo tum log bhi hawaldaron sab chalo ek saath!!” Rathod sar jhukae hue peth daba kar hansste jaa raha tha!! Phir sar uthaakar Khan se kaha, “Sala MLA sochega ke kiss se pala par gaya hai aaj usska hahahahahaha!!!” Aur Khan ne “shhh” kaha Rathod ko aur sab nikle aur chale dobara MLA ke ghar ke taraf! Jate jate Khan ne chief minister ko phone karke bataya ke kia hua aur woh uss MLA ko arrest karne jaa raha hai, chief minister ne kaha, “chhodna mat kutte ko!!”

Uss taraf Vicky chala hi jaa raha tha sheher se door nikal gaya to jugdish ne sawaal kiya, “Hum jaa kahan rahe hein ji?” Vicky ne kaha, sheher se door lejane ka order mila hai tumko jahan police nahin ponhuche……” Aur Jugdish itminaan se baith gaya. Vicky ussi jangal ke taraf jaa raha tha jahan weh dehati log rehte hein. Gadi mein ek bag main 1 crore rupay bhi liya tha ussne wahan ke sardaarni ko dene ke liye. Aur gadi ke dikki mein usske hathyaar bhi the jinn se uss ne baaki ke chaar rapist ko maara tha, ek alag sa revolver bhi tha, lohe wala ghunsssa bhi tha aur woh special lakdi jiss se sabke haddiyan tode the uss ne! Aur drive karte waqt Vicky unn drishton ko phir se yaad karne laga, jiss raat ko Sanjana ki rape hui thi…. Vicky khaas kar unn hisson ko yaad kar raha tha jinn mein jugdish involve tha, Vicky ne yaad kiya keise jab Sanjana suicide karna chahti thi aur unn ke ek dost ne sanjana ko rokne ki koshish kiya tha to jugdish ne keise uss se kaha tha ke sanjana ko khudkhushi karne do, yehi achah hai….. Vicky sab yaad karte karte gadi ko jangal ke ek kone mein roka aur gadi ki dikki ko kholkar haath mein lohe wala ghunssa pehna aur hath mei uss lakdi ko lekar aya aur jugdish ke sar par zor se mara…… Jugdish chohunk gaya aur apne sar par hath dabaaye Vicky ke taraf dekhte hue poocha, “paagal ho gaye ho kia, kyun mara mujhe? Mera chacha tera gaand maar dega!” Vicky ne phir usske collar pakar kar zor se khincha gadi se baahar, itne zor se khincha ke jugdish seedhe zameen par jaa girra! Aur Vicky ne usske jabde par bahot zor se uss ladki se mara ke jabda phat gaya aur woh lahu lohaan hogaya, bhaagne ki nakaam koshish kiya ussne kyun ke bus do kadam age badhtehi phir zameen par girr gaya aur khauff bhare nazron se Vicky ke chehre mein dekhte hue bola,

“Kyun maar rahe ho mujhe kaun ho tum?”

Tab Vicky ne nakaab utara aur bola,

“Teri maut hoon, tere chaar saathiyon ko maar dala to tu keise bach sakta hai tu to unn sabka boss tha? Order diya tha meri masoom behen ko atmahatiya karne ke liye nah yeh le ab tu marr kutte, kamine teri gaand mein iss lakdi ko ghusedne ko mann kar raha hai mera!!”

Aur Vicky ussi pehle wale josh mein aakar andhadhun maarta gaya Jugdish ke shareer ke jo bhi hissa maarne ko mil raha tha, haddiyon ke tutne ki awaaz sunaayi de rahi thi, usske peyr par, ghutnon par, baazu ke haddiyon par chehre par, khopdi par, peeth par, kaandhe par kissi jagah ko bina mare nahin chorra Vicky ne…. Jugdish behosh ho gaya phir bhi Vicky maarta chala jaa raha tha…lagta tha Jugdish mar gaya hai phir bhi Vicky ruk nahin raha tha maarte chala jaa raha tha hanffte hue, enkhon se jharr jharr ensoo beh rahe the aur woh bolta jaa raha tha maarte waqt,

“Meri naazuk, masoom behen marr gayi teri vaja se, uss ko till till marte dekha main ne, usski izat luti tum ne mere enkhon ke saamne, aur tu chahta hai ke tujhe chorr doon, dekh SANJANA, DEKH MAAR DALA MAIN NE SABHI UNN KUTTON KO, AAJ MERA BADLA PURA HUA MERI GUDYA, KUTTE KI MAWT MARA MAIN NE SAB KO EK EK KARKE!! MAIN NE APNA VADA PURA KIYA SANJANA!! MAIN KAMZOR NAHIN HOON BABY, MAIN DARPOK BHI NAHIN HOON, TU KHUSH HAI NAH AB BABY? MAAR DALA MAIN NE SAB KO MAAR DALA MAIN NE!!!”

Aur Vicky bhi zameen par baith gaya Jugdish ke laash ke paas phir bhi revolver nikala aur usske laash mein sabhi goliyan utaar dala….. tab bhi ussko chain nahin mila, usske baad ussne uss lohe wale ghusse se usskA thopda bigaar dala ek ke baad ek ghuNssa maarte hue usske marre hue chehre par…Jugdish ke enkhen baahar nikal aaye, honth latak gaye, baal sameth khopdi ka ek hissa bagal mein latak gaya aur Vicky ghunssa maarta jaaa raha tha……

Kuch der Vicky wahin baitha raha zor se hanffte hue…. Phir ahiste ahiste khada hua aur chal kar apne 4×4 ke paas gaya, ek botal paani nikala gadi se aur piya, phir chehre par paani ko dala, haath munh dhoya aur jangal ke andar 4×4 drive karta gaya sardaarni se milne ke liye…….

Uss taraf Khan ne MLA ko hirasat mein le liya sabhi uss ke ghar se baramat ki gayi samaan ke saath. MLA kuch nahin kar saka. Bilkool hakbaka gaya.

There are many kinds of doctors—Doctors of English, Doctors of Philosophy, Doctors of Medicine, Dr. Pepper… (wink). Of course, when we use the term doctor, we most often mean a physician or Doctor of Medicine. But did you know that dentists are doctors, too? Every doctor has a specialty, and a dentist’s specialty is oral health.

William S. Darr, DDS explains how dentistry is a specific branch of medicine, and what it all means for the link between oral health and overall wellness.

Dentists are Doctors

Dentists are every bit as trained and educated as physicians. They have the same general education in science as physicians before they get clinical training in dentistry. This background education helps dentists look at you—the whole package—when taking care of your teeth.

Dentists are specialists in the science and mechanics of oral health, which extends to your head, face, and neck (the craniofacial region)—important parts of your body! Your oral health is an MVP when it comes to overall health and wellness, and dentists are just as important as other doctors when it comes to total body health.

The Oral-Systemic Link

Have you ever had your whole printer jam because one tiny piece of paper is out of line? It’s endlessly frustrating and time-consuming, and a reminder that machines require all parts, big and small, to be in good shape to get the job done. You are not a printer, but you are made of countless cells, organs, muscles, and bones that all work together to make you human and allow you to survive and be healthy.

Dentists look at your mouth, gums, and teeth, but they also look at your jaw (TMJ), face, head, and neck, keeping an eye out for signs of a problem such as swelling, discoloration, and more. Often times, dentists also perform tissue biopsies, diagnose illnesses, and screen for high blood pressure and oral cancer. Dentists can tell just by the look of your mouth if you might have other health issues like stress, chronic inflammation or poor quality of sleep.

Time and time again, doctors, dentists, and researchers come together to find important overlaps in medicine and dentistry. We call these overlaps “the oral-systemic link.” There are already many studies about oral health links to diabetes and heart conditions.

Seeing the dentist regularly is important in assessing your risks for health conditions all over your body. For example, respected family physician Bradley Bale says: “Periodontal disease is a medical disease with a dental solution.” Periodontal disease is advanced gum disease that’s linked to other chronic and acute illnesses like cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes, and more. The best dentists and physicians will insist on working together to help you reach your optimal health.

Good oral hygiene and regular visits with Dr. Darr accomplish much more than just polish your pearly whites. Everything from eating and sleeping to working and playing depends on a healthy smile. The healthier your mouth is, the healthier and happier your whole life will be.

Choose a dentist who asks questions about your personal goals for life and health. Ask them about their views on whole body dentistry that works toward your wellness as one, big, interconnected machine.

A nanoparticle-incorporated STING activator enhances antitumor immunity in PD-L1-insensitive models of triple-negative breast cancer.

Related Articles A nanoparticle-incorporated STING activator enhances antitumor immunity in PD-L1-insensitive models of triple-negative breast cancer. JCI Insight. 2018 Nov 15;3(22): Authors: Cheng N, Watkins-Schulz R, Junkins RD, David CN, Johnson BM, Montgomery SA, Peine KJ, Darr DB, Yuan H, McKinnon KP, Liu Q, Miao L, Huang L, Bachelder EM, Ainslie KM, Ting JP Abstract Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has few therapeutic options, and alternative approaches are urgently needed. Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) is becoming an exciting target for therapeutic adjuvants. However, STING resides inside the cell, and the intracellular delivery of CDNs, such as cGAMP, is required for the optimal activation of STING. We show that liposomal nanoparticle-delivered cGAMP (cGAMP-NP) activates STING more effectively than soluble cGAMP. These particles induce innate and adaptive host immune responses to preexisting tumors in both orthotopic and genetically engineered models of basal-like TNBC. cGAMP-NPs also reduce melanoma tumor load, with limited responsivity to anti-PD-L1. Within the tumor microenvironment, cGAMP-NPs direct both mouse and human macrophages (M), reprograming from protumorigenic M2-like phenotype toward M1-like phenotype; enhance MHC and costimulatory molecule expression; reduce M2 biomarkers; increase IFN-γ-producing T cells; augment tumor apoptosis; and increase CD4+ and CD8+ T cell infiltration. Activated T cells are required for tumor suppression, as their depletion reduces antitumor activity. Importantly, cGAMP-NPs prevent the formation of secondary tumors, and a single dose is sufficient to inhibit TNBC. These data suggest that a minimal system comprised of cGAMP-NP alone is sufficient to modulate the tumor microenvironment to effectively control PD-L1-insensitive TNBC.

Ears in Quran

Kaan (ears) insaani jism ka ek bahut hi important organ hai. Insaan jitni tezi se apni skin par kuchh chiz mehsoos karta hai, apni zubaan se kuchh chiz taste karta hai ya jitni tezi se apne naak se koi chiz smell karta hai, in teeno functions se bhi kaaee zyada tezi se insan apne kaano ke zariye sounds ko sunta hai. Jab sound wave kaano tak pahuchti hai to insan ka dimag (brain) use sirf 0.05 seconds me pechan leta hai. Iske teen hisse hote hain, outer ear, middle ear and innner ear. Outer ear ke do hisse hote hain, Pinnaaur ear canal. Middle earek chhoti katori ki tarha hota hai, iski bahar ki deewar par ek parda sa laga rahta hai. Bich me teen chhoti chhoti haddiyan zanjeer ki tarha judi hoti hain. ke 2 hisee aur unke mukhtalif functions hote hain, eardrum aur auditory  muscles ka kaam soundwave vibrations ko ander ke hisse tak pahuchana hota hai.. Kaan ke sab se andarooni hisse ki banavat bahut hi pechida (complex) hoti hai jise bhool bhulayya bhi kehte hain. Isme  half moon ki tarha teen hisse hote hain jinme bahut sare holes hote hain aur inhi ke ande sunne ki vein rahti hai jiska direct relation sar ya dimag (brain) ke sath hota hai. Inme bahut sare hair cells hote hain jo vibration ko electrical signals me tabdeel karte hain aur hearing nerve ke zariye brain tak pahuchate hain. Har ek hair cell ke ander microscopic (aam taur par jise dekha na ja sake waise bahut hi bareek) projections hote hain jinhe stereocilia kaha jata hai. Agar awaz particular decible se ya  hadd se badh jaye to yeh stereocilia bend ho jate hain to toot bhi sakte hain. Phir uske baad sound signals brain tak nahi pahuch sakte. yeh hair cells apne aap repair nahi hote aur naahi ek martaba damage hone ke baad medically regenerate kiye ja sakte hain. Aawaz ki tarang jo hawa me phailti hai, yeh kaan ke bahari hisse me jama ho kar kaano se takraati hai jisse vibration create hota hai ya thartharahat hoti hai. Phir yeh awaz andarooni hisse tak pahuchti hai jisse insan ko ek tarike ki feeling hoti hai yani kuchh mehsoos karta hai. Yahi mehsoos karne par insan ke kaee sari subsidiary feelings dependent hoti hai, jaise khushi, darr-khauf, baukhlaahat, gussa, muskurahat, hasi, wagairah. Agar upar mention kiye gaye kisi bhi organ me se koi ek bhi kharab ho jaye to insan partially ya totally sunne ki salahiyat kho sakta hai ya kho deta hai, ya ek tarike ka disorder paida ho jata hai jiske liye use hearing aid ka sahara lena padta hai. Ek aur dilchasp baat yeh hai ki sunne ke alawa jism ka balance banaye rakhne me bhi kaano ek aham kirdar nibhate hain. Sunne, dekhne ke alawa skeletal system ko (haddiyon ke dhanche ko) maintain karne ka kaam bhi kaano ko zariye hota hai jisse body ka equilibrium manage hota hai aur body balance hoti hai. Agar insan ke kaano me sunne ki salahiyat kam ho jaye, ya khatm ho jaye, ya sardi zukam (cough and cold) ki wajah se ya depression aur stress ya kisi aur bimari ki wajah se kaano me shadeed dard paida ho jaye, ya kaano me bahut mel jama ho jaye, ya koi chiz ke sariye physically kano me damage ho jaye, ya bimari ki wajah se kaan bhari lage ya sar chakrane lage to insan ki poori body ka balance mutassir hone lagta hai. iske liye doctors advise dete hain ki kano me buds, machis ki tili, nukili chiz wagairah na dali jaye aur diagonisis ke taur par ent doctors kano ke drops wagairah dete hain aur agar takleef bahut badh jaye to surgical steps bhi lene padte hain. Kano me takleef ho to swimming na karne ki bhi advise di jati hai. Quran me insan ko di gayi kano ki aur sunne ki salahiyat ki is azeem nemat ka jagah jagah tazkera hai aur kaee makamat par aaya hai ki, "woh log jo sunte hain" yani woh log hidayatyafta insano me shumar kiye jate hain jinho ne Allah ke kalaam ko suna, phir us par ghauro fikr kiya, phir use tasleem kiya aur phir amalqarda hue. Sura fussilat (41:44) me bataya gaya hai ki jo log nahi sunte, unke kano me behrapan hai, aur unki aankhe andhi hai. (mafhoom) Bazahir bhale hi kufr o shirk me mubtala log sunnte dekhte nazar aaye, magar islam ki nazar me aise log behre hain kyon ki Allah ki nishaniyan wazeh ho jane ke baad bhi unho ne ek kaan se sun kar doosre kaan se baat ko nikal diya, ya nazar andaaz kar diya. Isi tarha Surah Nooh me ata hai ki jab 950 years tak dawat iLallah ka paigham Nooh alayhis salam ne logo ko diya to kuchh logo ne apne kano me ungliya daal di, yani woh sunna nahi chahte the. Isi tarha Allah ne insano par maazi me jo azabaat nazil farmaye unme ek azab awaaz ka azaab bhi hai aur jahannamiyo ko bhi awaz ke is azab ka maza chakahya jayega, jaise ki Surah Mulk me 67:7 me aata hai ki jab jahannmi log jahannum ki aag me jhonke jayenge to woh usme se ek khatarnaak awaz ko sunenge jab woh ubal rahi hogi (mafhoom) Aur phir baad ki ayat me aata hai ki kaafir tasleem karenge (67:10) ki agar hum (hame deen ki dawat dene walo ki baat) sunte to jahannamiyon me hamara shumar na hota (mafhoom) Aur phir Surah Mulk me hi iske baad wali ayat me aata hai (67:23) ki wahi Allah hai jisne tumhe sunne ki dekhne ki salahiyat di aur dil diye, tum bahut kam shukrguzar hote ho. (mafhoom) Salih Alayhis salam ki qaum, qaum me Samood par phir jo sakht'tareen azab aya jab ek bahut zordaar awaz ne unhe aa pakda aur woh itni khatarnaak awaz thi ki us qaum ke nafarmaan logo ke kano ke parde phat gaye aur zameen me zalzala aa gaya aur woh sab halaq o barbaad ho gaye. Iska zikr quran me (11:67) Surah Baqarah me un logo ko behra, goonga aur andha bataya gaya hai jo raah e haqq se bhatak gaye aur jinho ne Allah ki tawheed ka inkar kiya. Quran ke bahut sare huqooq me se ek huqooq quran ko sunna bhi hai. aur is tarha hum Allah ki di gayi is azeem nemat ka ba-khoobi istemal kar sakte hain. Aaj ke jadeed daur me hame ek se badh kar ek khoobsoorat qirat internet ke zariye sunne mil sakti hai, agar hum isse istefada karne ke bajaye, music, layani bate, jokes, movies aur lahw chizo ko sunenge to zaroor ba zaroor hame iske bare me roze qayamat poochh hogi. ( https://en.muqri.com/  http://urdubooksaudio.com/) Allah ham sab ko hame di gayi kaano ki is azeem nemat se fayeda utha kar apni aakhirat sanwarne ki tawfeek ata farmaye.
