this dialogue taken from destiny 2's vanguard ops strikes; hypernet current, lake of shadows, and the arm dealer. . . . adjusted for general use. . . . change as needed for usage
Tumblr media
Let us hope that your technology continues to be resilient.
We need to get in there and stop them.
Screams, weird voices, nightmares... you name it.
It's resilient, but not impenetrable. A backdoor wouldn't be impossible.
Hopefully getting rid of whatever is at the center of this will shake all that weirdness out of the system too.
It looks like you're getting closer to the source of the problem. That track nearby looks like your best bet!
Let's just hope it's stable.
What-what was that?
Such a fragile space. This will do.
You don't want to see the pot of tea I made this morning.
Civilians are depending on you.
Mobilizing team for Operation, uh... Babydog? Why does this say Babydog? I must have forgotten to reboot the name generator.
Operation "Babydog?" Well, it has a certain ring to it, huh?
Yes... "Babydog" ... Well, the protocol is already running. Can't stop it now.
Yes, sorry, Operation "Babydog" ...We need to determine the source of — Haha! — I'm sorry, I can't.... Stand-by!
Our purification tech can only do so much. If the contamination spreads, people will die.
Good work. There's bound to be more than one.
We're making good progress, but energy readings are still off the charts.
This place is old; good thing we can't get tetanus.
If for nothing else but principle, I'm glad you're reclaiming it.
They just left that unguard...? This smells fishy to me.
Time for me to step out. I leave it to you.
Usually for an operation like this, logistical support would be provided. But it sounds like it's just us this time around.
Where'd you put my datapad? It had the notes about that thing I'm in charge of.
Into the action right away. I'm not surprised. You're up.
Whoa, wait wait wait, I'm not ready! I had a whole thing for this guy — I had charts and pictures — you know what, the one time I get it all — geez, forget it. You know what, just forget it.
Door's unlocked. But I couldn't get through without tripping their master alarm.
Not a trade I would have made, but you're the one on the ground.
Come on, how bad could one little alarm be?
Good different or bad different?
Did I just see a FLARE shoot into the sky?
Did you shoot up a flare? I thought we weren't allowed to have flares anymore after I… had nothing to do with why we're not allowed to have flares.
That's me! I must have… Oh, wait a minute. Nope not me.
Plan, schman. Take the radioactive thing, put in explode-y place. There! There's your plan.
Is this what "be brave" means for you? Didn't know it was a prayer.
Yeah, not blowing up is as good as you can hope for sometimes.
Way to reach for the stars.
Sounded like a nice dunk!
This guy's no ordinary space rhino. His weapons ain't half bad, either.
He's bound to have more. Insecure men tend to surround themselves with others like them.
Nope, she's totally right. Which is why I work alone.
I'm sorry, painted it what now?
Yeah, funny story about the Oh-roh? Oh-roh… Oh-roh-bahn… uh…
I think you should call it "payback."
Could be some really weird defenses in there. Not just flame turrets - I'm talking REALLY weird.
Why would they put a tank inside a ship?
Remember that elevator? Looks like we have to bring it down again.
Ok. Well, there are many… levels of easy.
Please don't encourage him
Oh, come on! ANOTHER one?
Wait, wait wait! Let me guess — giant flame turret.
Try to grab his flame turret blueprints after he's dead.
Watch for air support. This guy's too smart to not have a backup plan.
Eh, backup plans are overrated.
This is it. We've got him cornered… in an airfield. OK…
Now we've got you! In a… place you know way better than us. But that won't stop us. Let's get him!
Watch your six. And your twelve. You know what — just — just be careful
Sounds like I returned at just the right time. Excellent work, team.
Thanks, boss! It was by the book, the whole way.
Ok, you all are getting way too formal. Where's the energy? Let's hear some chatter out there! Huh?
The job's done. You can handle the chatter for a while.
You ever been hit with a rock? Don't joke about that.
YOU miscalculated?
Yes. Do you have any further questions?
It seems this new guy has done some “redecorating.” Although I don’t think I can call this an upgrade in terms of taste. But perhaps the cannons could be of use?
Names hold power. It is not unlikely that this new guy is a successor, who has taken up the mantle.
Unless we disable that shield, we’re sitting ducks out here!
That shield is making me mad! We’ve got to get rid of it!
Well fought! We’ve cut another head off the proverbial Hydra.

the maya and osiris parallels continue to fuck me up. Both of them reaching across timelines to save their partners and while Maya won't stop until she finds the right Chioma, the perfect one that will agree with her vision for the universe, the "real" Chioma, and will throw away any version of her that isn't perfect, Osiris broke time for the chance to save Saint-14, and it didn't matter to him which Saint it was, because to him they're all the "real" Saint

So my guardian is mute. I have the urge to make it where my guardian talks with those ghost hunting boxes or like with old radio frequencies. I’m just not sure if i want her light to be the reason she can do that (like how steven universe can manipulate static with his emotions or gem powers?) anyway or if i want it to be like a strand darkness type thing.

So I'm quick speedrunning through the seasonal quest on my other two characters, and something came to mind about the whole Misraak's backstory reveal, and specifically Eido's reaction to it.
A lot of people have felt her reaction to be a bit much, and I've agreed for the most part but I just had a thought having watched that whole interaction play out twice in a day. She says that she "understood he had a past", but she somehow finds it strange that he killed people like that? She knows the history of the eliksni after the Whirlwind, why would she find it strange he did those thing? So then I thought, what if he insinuated, or maybe outright told her that he had never killed anyone at all in his life?
Or maybe said that whatever few killings he had done were all in self defense, that he had no choice? Or it could be he told her that whenever he did have to kill, it was only as a last resort, and so finding out he killed so many with so little thought is what is throwing her, because he had told her he had never resorted to the brutality of the other eliksni?
Because if that were the case, I guess it could help explain why she reacted to what Eramis tells her like she did, at least for me. Just, trying to make it make sense you know?

Not to steer the new teaser conversation in a Negative direction, but how do you feel about the comment made by Yanes about titans and their "fantasy" that's been going around amidst the widespread disappointment with the Titan strand subclass?
Here's the article where this is mentioned!
This is what I see people spreading around:
But yeah, Titan mains, we love you. We do. But remember that we try to reinforce your core fantasy. And at some point, your guy's holding the fist on the cover of the game.
This is all the text that precedes it:
Finally there's the Titan Berserker, which excels at creating Woven Mail. Its melee ability, Frenzied Blade, can be used three times to Sever a lot of enemies quickly, and one of its Aspects generates Woven Mail for you and nearby allies whenever you destroy a Tangle. Another Aspect launches a Strand projectile from your barricade, Suspending any enemies you hit. This class sounds incredibly powerful on paper, but it's actually been a bit divisive, largely due to comparisons between its Super, Bladefury, and Titan's Stasis and Arc Supers. I put the question to Yanes, who says Bungie's aware of feedback about Titan abilities looking overly similar, but he maintains that Berserker is a whole new beast.
"Bladefury is much more about giving you the survivability tools to really lay into those guys and then giving you a range option, which is not something you generally do in these roaming Supers, to Suspend things from afar and damage them," he says. "That's their heavy attack, that double blade uppercut you see them do in the trailer. I think that's two of the core ways we've tried to shift them away.
Obviously we haven't personally tried it out and we can only judge it from what we see, but that does seem like there are significant differences. New Titan stuff seems to be not only oriented towards damage, but also debuffing enemies and helpful for allies. It also seems to be focused on speed and range, something that arc and stasis supers don't have (arc has it ... sort of, but Fists of Havoc feel fairly restrictive with how long and how far you can go around). Titan stasis also feels very heavy and slow to use, as well as being possibly disruptive to your own teammates when you spawn a million stasis crystals and obstruct the view. Strand seems to be going in several different directions which is interesting.
Is it ultimately similar? Yeah, you still get your fists engulfed and start punching. Obviously, strand has stuff that others don't, but at first glance, it's similar. This is also an issue because the last super Titans got was stasis and that's the roaming punchy super. Now we've not had anything new for 2 years and we're getting another of the same type. However, I'm not sure which other fantasy people were expecting? Like, this is a genuine question, I would love to know what other directions to take that aren't already taken. Titans have ranged supers, throw-yourself-at-enemies super, stationary protective super, roaming punch supers. They have different abilities on different subclasses with throwing things, shoulder charges and normal melees, several different barricade options and the new arc dash.
I guess people wanted strand to be that Titans will maybe throw something? If we wanted repeats, I guess people wanted something like Sunbreaker. I wouldn't mind that, but I don't mind the current Strand stuff either. At least without trying it, I can't pass judgement until I give it a shot. The only thing we can worry about immediately is this super's viability in high end content. So far, roaming supers and close range stuff in general really isn't good in GMs, though Titan strand comes with survivability options and buffs for allies so maybe that changes things.
Outside of that, we can't really tell if this will be good or bad, it's just based on vibes and people expecting things that Bungie really never told us to expect. Titan combat fantasy IS to punch things or alternatively to stand your ground. Those are the two core fantasies for Titans in battle. Strand seems to be mixing them both which is really interesting to me. We'll see how it turns out.
As a final note, I do think that stasis and strand should eventually get a second super though. Light subclasses have multiple options and that's ultimately what gives us more reasons to use them. Arc Hunter was immediately revived when we got a second option. I feel like making a second option for stasis and strand is much more important than making a billion aspects and fragments. Also, a lot of people would probably be cool with stasis and strand Titan if there was something else to pick. Having a second super to pick for different situations would really help a lot.

this dialogue taken from destiny 2's vanguard ops strikes; the lightblade, proving grounds, fallen saber. . . . adjusted for general use. . . . change as needed for usage
The only way in is through some old canals, which means we need a boat. Leave that part to me.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, that's our guy! The one guarding the temple! What's he doing away from his post? This could be our chance.
There's your ride. You just hop on, and I'll handle the rest.
Uh, these weird controls… I mean, how does this… Ah! There it is- Here we go! Boat's moving!
Uh… I don't know. I didn't expect this. Just a… little hiccup! Heh. You can get that barrier down, right? Sure you can.
Hey, hey, you did it! Good job. Boat's on the move again.
Seriously? But I did the thing… it's just this tech, it's so archaic… ugh, just give me a sec…
Okay, we're getting close to the swamp now. Temple's not far from here.
These two killed each other about a million times over, but she dedicated a temple to him. Eh, it's funny how that works. Now be careful here. Something happened to this place.
I just can't see it. Maybe there's a safe path through…
I was right? I was right! I knew it. I knew they were involved somehow…
Ah, contingency plan. They're learning. Trying to stay a step ahead of you. But you got it. That's the important part. That gets us one step closer to taking them down.
The challenge is met. Our blood flows together. May it tend to unity.
I welcome you, but my forces… they do not.
You honor me. May you meet a glorious death.
She breathes, she moves… and she will spit out your bones.
My war machine purrs. She hungers for battle. Have you the same appetite?
Do what you came for — fight well or die quickly.
You fight well. A shame you must pay the price for your pride.
They kneel to no one… not even me.
All feel fear. Some learn from it, while others are ruled by it. Which are you?
I refused to bend the knee. What does that tell you?
Why will you not stand with us?
We sign no treaties at the end of a gun.
Join me and let our alliance armor the stars.
We could work together. But as equals, not your vassals.
All swore their lives to me. They can use them as they wish.
If it must be done.
I have prepared further challenges for you. A banquet of combat to test your resolve.
And my father said you were such fun.
Do not expect gratitude. Those you leave behind will grow. They will learn.
Good. If our foes are capable of growth, let us be the catalyst that forces them to change.
We eat the mountains; we drink the seas!
Yes. And we are here to stop you.
I know stories of fiends who cut at the legs of powerful heroes. I will not be felled so easily.
We do what they must. Today, we must be champions.
My warriors do not die easily. They fight because I gave them their freedom.
Imagine if they fought because you gave them hope.
Such strength. Look what your power can do. I seek that power — not for myself, but for my people.
How selfless. Perhaps we can discuss this further after your people stop trying to kill us.
I see now how you fight. Your potential is wasted running errands for your Commander.
There is no pleasure in killing. If this one act of barbarism will force peace… so be it.
Hold strong. One final victory is all I ask.
I yield, I yield! Let us meet and discuss this treaty. You may be a soft, small person but you hide some powerful tusk!
We take nothing but your word. Tend to your people… but break our agreement, and we will be back to finish what we started.
You have honored our traditions… and I must honor yours. I will see you soon… to "bargain."
I am glad to hear it. You will find our talent for diplomacy matches our skill in combat.
I pride myself on seeing the strength in others, and yours can no longer be denied. When can be discuss this treaty of yours?
I hope the blood spilled here today will be the last.
I… did not imagine this outcome. You have powers told of in the old stories.
Our vaults are full of relics from those who underestimated us. If you ever cross us again… bring a bigger weapon.
You fought with honor, and you accept defeat in the same way.
I am in danger, the systems are damaged.
If I'm understanding correctly, it's a distress call! There are so few ballet fans left, it'd be a shame to lose them.
Sorry, just a little longer--I think they are testing me.
It worked! Maybe too well. Hmm.

Anyways not to be mentally ill about kai again for the upteenth time but I was just turning over how exactly interactions between him and nimbus would go in my head. Because as much as I love our sweet dumb thembo nimbo as any other lightfall enjoyer, I think it’s a bit of a watered down interpretation at best and a woeful misinterpretation of their character just to fit the popular framework of the trope at worst. Maybe I’ll make another post later about their character in-depth after I go rewatch a playthrough or something. Maybe
Anyways. getting off track. kai and nimbus. two of the Most characters ever. Nimbus can and will absolutely see through his edgy tough guy act in a split-second and not think a single thing of it as they instantly clock this guy as absolutely starved for positive attention and proceed to make it their life’s goal to befriend him and offer him compliments as much as possible. Kai is having a mental breakdown not only because of Strand and how mastering it means to relinquish control and Light and Darkness not being moral opposites but also this tall buff simple and fun-loving stranger is just?? being nice to him??? for no reason?? And it’s honestly kinda sad how it’s taken over a century and a quarter for literally anyone he’s ever met to be friendly towards him just. because they can. because they want to be. because they see someone worth being nice to in him, somehow. And it drives him up the fucking wall because that’s not how things work with him. Everyone who’s ever nice to anyone only wants to get something out of them and will turn on them the second they do something wrong or the other person doesn’t get what they want. His is a world of secrecy and manipulation and playing your emotions as close to your chest as you can manage so no one ever has a clear advantage over you
But nimbus doesn’t care about any of that. Kai’s out there smacking bad guys with green stringy stuff and they genuinely think that’s the coolest shit they’ve ever seen so they tell him that, no false modesty or pretense about it, just genuine compliments and encouragements to someone who they can see desperately needs them. To kai it feels a little bit like some heavy weight being lifted off his shoulders for the first time in a very long time and a lot like having his ribcage torn open and his body skinned alive and left out in the heat of the midday sun to whither and burn and rot

Everything changes, then and there. History begins. The perpendicular axes of space and time meet in the origin point, and the curve of the Hive starts ticking on towards infinity. Everything changes, except this singular fact — that when they emerge, Auryx is still at the helm and Xivu Arath is leaning on her sword, and Savathûn is charting the paths of monsters. And they are still holding hands.
Today marks a year since the wondrous, terrible journey of writing this fic had come to a close. I still consider it the best thing I've ever written for Destiny, and given all that's happened in the past 12 months, it couldn't have been posted at a more fitting time lol. I have ambitious plans to turn it into a podfic, but it's taking more effort and confidence than I expected. Still--I am very proud of this work, and I will not shut up about it until death claims me. Here's to another year of Hive sorrows.
The truth is that in the inmost depths of her heart, in the core of the intricately spun web of her secrets, Savathûn knows Oryx is mightier than her. Yes—she rules from a throne of bone and glass, overgrown with toxic blossoms; yes, her Wizards shame Akka’s memory with how easily they lie truths into being and her brood feeds on the ashes of two hundred thousand worlds. Her songs redefine matter and rend the minds of lesser beings asunder. Yet this one truth Savathûn knows is carved in osmium, and it has become apparent to her ever since she and Xivu failed to trap him in the Deep: Oryx the King is mightier than her, in wisdom and strength and purpose and foresight, and she will forever live in his shadow as he stands at the helm and charts the Hive’s pathway through history. Her worm will always gnaw at her for this. He will always be greater, braver, more steadfast in his ambition, more certain in his worship.
Savathûn is at peace with that.

LET THE GAME RUN OUR DESTINY
Jim Halpert x fem!reader Word count: 900 words Warnings: Nothing, just fluff, I guess. Summary: You decide to play this game you bought, The Sims 2, to cure your boredom in the office.
Another boring day at Dunder Mifflin’s, but not really.
The camera zooms in on your computer monitor from a distance, revealing you’re playing The Sims 2. You hear a door thud, Michael coming out of the office, and you quickly hide The Sims with your mail.
──────
(your interview with the camera crew)
“Jim helped me install this game I bought yesterday, called The Sims. It’s so addicting.” Cut. “No, just random characters, that I chose at the start of the game,” you clear your throat. “No one specific.”
──────
(Jim's separate interview with the crew)
“Yeah, I helped her install it, but if she gets into trouble because of it,” he throws his hand into the air, “I have nothing to do with it.”
──────
The cameraman pans over to your face, catching you being extremely focused on the game.
Time today goes really slowly, but the game is saving it. Not for Jim though. Jim is so bored, he hasn’t talked to you the whole afternoon because of the game. The game literally sucked you in. He decides to walk over to see what you’re playing. You quickly hide it, acting like nothing just happened. Jim raises his eyebrows.
“What? Nothing,” you try to play it cool.
“Come on, let me see! I am curious what it looks like.” He tries.
You blush a little, pretending you’re going through your mail. “No.”
He looks at you hurt. “Alright then, I’ll go back to boring myself, also known as, doing work.” He playfully grunts.
You chuckle at his joke, minimizing the mail window to play the game again.
After some time, the lunch break comes. You decide not to worry about the game being opened, because no one will go around your desk anyway.
Jim, still on a call with a client, signals you to go ahead, and you walk to the break room first. Jim finishes the call, hanging up the phone. He wants to throw away his Jell-O cup, still from the morning. He goes to the nearest trash can, which is next to your desk. He throws it away, suddenly amazed by something on your desk. He leans to get a closer look at your screen. He smiles to himself.
“She did us in that game. Me and her.” He smiles downwards. “Oh, she said those are random characters?” He chuckles. “What a coincidence.” He stretches all the a’s in the last sentence.
Jim finally comes into the break room, sitting down at the table.
“Hey.” He says.
“Hey, Jim.” You smile at him as you slurp in your noodles.
“So, how are we doing?” He asks casually.
You respond, not getting the secret message behind it. “I’m doing pretty good, did all the calls Michael told me to do.”
“No...” He chuckles. “I meant, how are we doing?” He asks, pointing his head back to the main room.
You look at him, genuinely confused. Suddenly you realize it. You put your head into your palm, covering your eyes in embarrassment.
Jim chuckles, his eyes glinting with amusement. “It’s okay, really,” he reassures you, sensing your embarrassment. “It’s funny. By the way, thanks for making me look like Prince Charming.”
You peek through your fingers, a hint of a smile on your lips. “I might have spent a little too much time on your character,” you admit.
Jim grins, taking a bite of his sandwich. He leans back in the chair, the chair making a small squeak. “Alright, so, what’s our story in The Sims? Are we a family? Colleagues? Maybe lovers?” A small smirk plays on his lips.
You feel your cheeks heating up again. “Well, I didn’t get too far with the storyline yet, but we’re housemates. We live together.”
“Oh, really?” Jim raises an eyebrow, clearly enjoying this. “Housemates, huh?”
You shrug, trying to act nonchalant. “It just seemed easier than having to switch between two houses all the time, you know. Plus it saves money.”
“Yeah, right,” Jim says with a big amused smile on his lips. He leans forward, his eyes locking with yours.
You stare at him, heart pounding. “What?”
Jim shrugs, still smiling. “What if we let that game decide what we do in real life.”
Your eyes widen. “What?”
He chuckles softly. “Whatever happens in the game we have to do. Up for the challenge?”
You feel a smile spreading across your face. “Alright, then.”
Jim’s grin widens. “Great.” He stands up, finishing his sandwich. “Shall the computer decide our destiny.”
You shake your head with a smile, feeling a rush of excitement as you watch Jim leave the room.
You decide to make yourself a cup of coffee before heading back to your desk. You walk up to your desk, stopping in disbelief. You see the screen, the characters stopped in time while they’re kissing. You look over at Jim, who is trying to hold in his laugh, avoiding eye contact. You deduce he did that. But you still feel a bit of blush run over your cheeks.
“Very funny, Jim.” You roll your eyes, but you can’t help but smile.
“What! You agreed to let it run our destiny.” He shrugs his shoulders at you.
You resume the gameplay, seeing what the characters will do next.
“Wow, they’re heading to bed now,” you announce with sarcastically no emotion.
He bursts out laughing, trying to keep quiet.
Such a dork.
