Old Friends. Bright Skies.

Had to satisfy this itch as the writing bug comes back. Some spoilers but not too much as this is a flashback for "Hollowed Defiance" and as usual I'll have to reedit it to fit in the future. Bradford centric.

Don't want to say who Bradford meets in the fic and will let y'all find out. :)

Warnings for language/cursing, some violence, blood, gore/body horror, and alien death mostly from a totally unnecessary surgery scene. As soon as you hit the first mention of anesthesia you're going to want to skip to "Back on track, they neared the meeting room." This probably spawned off of me writing the medical scene for my next chapter in the Borderlands fic.

Another day, another hidden market for Bradford and crew to peruse. It was a little different this time, being located in the remains of the semi-glassed city of Cape Town and the fact there was a hidden and thriving community living there. Seemed like this one avoided the major problem that plague abounded cities — The Lost and Chryssalids. Actually, Chryssalids became a main food export for the locals. Seemed like those bugs sprung forth from the sea on occasion and made some nests in the more uninhabitable portions of the city, but the locals had a system of keeping them in check before they caused problems. 

 For the Lost “problem”, perhaps that hellfire plasma that rained down long ago burned up most of the corpses and whatever gasses emitted from the pods contained, besides wrecking a portion of the latter. And any pods that remained were skeletal remnants, torn down to their metal frames with few pieces remaining. 

Bradford and his small crew — approximately 35 people — were just passing through the area as their little humvee and jeep convoy were traveling back to East Africa to meet back up with the Avenger. They had recently finished up with the usual investigating leads on the location of the Commander(turning up cold as usual) and getting several Resistance Cells set up in this part of the country. And in turn, they got a few that wanted to join them and they rarely refused. Every little bit helped.

Bradford was currently chatting with an arms dealer that had a suspiciously extensive selection of old Earth weapons and some ADVENT magnetic weapons. Though his suspicions were quickly answered when two “middlemen” poked their noses into his business. He was all too familiar with one of them. Void Walkers. They had nose into just about every facet of trade and if there were on good terms with this dealer.

“So what brings you down south, my cynical friend?” Always a peep in their step, Nithrall greeted him with open arms and a glitched giggled laugh. Of course, Bradford stuck his hand out, if not directly shoving it towards their mask to keep them beyond arm’s length.

“Nithrall…” Bradford did his best to stifle a growl. But his right brow twitched away. “Pleasure to see you again… and so soon.” Sarcasm dripped like thick honey from his lips. It was far too soon for his liking with their mannerisms, but usually, when they were around he got something good. He glanced at their companion, wearing a similar mask to Nithrall’s but with red lenses, who looked rather indifferent to their companion’s actions. “Hi.”

“Greetings.” They nodded back. “Nithrall, let’s not stifle business for too long. We have places to be.”

A gruff sigh came from Nithrall as they stepped back. “The both of you are no fun. Especially you,” they jabbed a finger as their companion, “Red.”

“Something… something tells me you were expecting us?” Bradford just felt like there was too much of a coincidence with them, especially her, being there.

Nithrall’s digital visor lit up with fireworks and a ‘what do you think?’ flashed a few times. “You know how us Void Walkers work!”

Raising both hands to his face, Bradford just buried it in his palms and let out several curses. “For the love of…” Bradford felt like his brow would be stuck twitching for hours. 

The arms dealer just laughed at such an odd working relationship they had before gesturing for them to come to the back for more privacy. 

Turned out the dealer was hiding more special goods — more old Earth weapons and ammo in much better condition, more ADVENT weapons, armor, and some alien tech — just for XCOM, but was waiting on the Void Walkers to step in to ID that Bradford was the one they would be given to. Of course, with payment.

“This is all yours just for the remaining price of some medical supplies, maybe three of those generators on one of those trucks, and refined metals.” The dealer smiled. “I am willing to trade in some of it for some hard labor. There are some… caches … I want searched in the city. There are some Chryssalids and other feral alien animals that have chased my workers and me out. You guys do that and you can take some of the supplies there and everything is paid for.” They smiled.

“Hm.” Bradford raised a brow. He looked at everything; it was a great selection of gear that could do them some good. But… “I didn’t ask for any of this.” He turned to look at the Void Walkers. “What’s the catch?”

“No catch! No catch!” Nithrall waved their hands. “Well, maybe… ish?” They glanced at Red, shrugging their shoulders.

“Maybe?” Sounded like a catch.

Red shook their head. “What Nithrall means it’s a gift from us and a contact.” Walking over to the dealer, with a distinctive psionic ping, a canister appeared in Red’s hands that they handed off to the dealer. “That’s the other portion of our part and another portion was paid by a mutual contact.”

Bradford watched the exchange before his eyes shifted about, bitting his inner lip, as his mind cycled back to what the dealer said. Remaining price of… huh. “Okay…” Everything was nudging him to accept everything with some negotiations. “And who exactly is this ‘mutual’ contact that’s this generous?”

“Recoil Raidā.”

“Them?” He was genuinely surprised to hear that name. “It’s been a while since we spoke last… but this is much.” Even Volk wasn’t this generous.

“Well,” Nithrall shuffled closer to him, body bristling with excitement, only for a hand to the face followed by a solid shove back, “heeee wants to meet up!”

There was the catch he had been waiting for. “He wants to meet up?” He soon grumbled under his breath. “Hm, know that fact now.”

“A thank you for all the collaborations. And a peace offering as he has some Hybrid and alien companions.” Red explained.

“Ah, great. Ex-ADVENT with a lot of blood on their hands, I bet.” 

“Him? No. The companions? Possibly.”

“Hm.” That just made Bradford more suspicious and curious. 

He looked back at all the supplies laid out. A lot of good it would do XCOM but it was coming with a catch. This years long contact wanted to meet up. Finally. But could it have been an elaborate setup of trap? False pretense to solidify that trust only to shatter it with an ambush? No. The Void Walkers were meticulous in setting up contacts and weeding out any ADVENT moles. This had to be genuine.

He shook his head. Looked like their arrival back to the Avenger would be delayed by a few days.

“Okay then. You two can set the meet up.” He looked at Nithrall, eyes narrowed. “No funny business.”

“You can count on us.” ‘Happy eyes’ appeared on that visor as they gave a thumbs up. That just made him grumble.

He then looked at the dealer. “What was that about clearing out some caches?”

—————————

After a few grueling days of clearing out the caches and their alien occupants, XCOM had some more gear and supplies to take back home, with some being quick to claim their weapons of choice.  They scored additional supplies by bringing back the least managed alien corpses which local butchers were all too happy to make use off. 

As they were getting themselves packed up, the Void Walkers returned with some news. Looked like they wouldn’t have to make any detours to meet up with Recoil Raidā. The chosen safe location was about 3/4ths of the way back to the Avenger. It was an abandoned ADVENT outpost. They did a mixture of their work in the surrounding area and then a partial quarantine from some outbreak.

“What the hell do you mean this in a quarantined area!?”

Everyone thought Bradford was going to blood a few blood vessels once his mind caught that detail. But the Void Walkers were able to placate him saying that the area, in particular, was clear from the previous outbreak and was ADVENT wanting to keep locals and migrants from crossing through the area. The answer didn’t exactly please Bradford, but they offered some high-quality gas masks and filters, which changed his angry tune into a slightly annoyed one. 

“So what should we, I, be expecting? Have you told him of my identity? What I look like?” Bradford asked.

“Please, please.” Nithrall gestured for him to ‘chill out’. “You know we know discretion.” They snickered. “All identities have been hidden per how contracts go. Contact frequencies and code words will be how you will identify each other… and…”

“And?”

“Told him the cynical one is their leader, that needs some sleep and booze. Also has a slight gnarly facial scar. And info for you! Look for the chatty, excitable one with the green-lensed goggles and a red beanie. And ‘shrap’ pocked face.”

“Of course you would say that.” He wasn’t too happy they mentioned his facial scar, but there were others in the group that had scars worse than his. 

With that, the Void Walkers handed off the coordinates, code words, and contact frequencies to Bradford before heading off to do more business. Though Nithrall added they could pop up again for the meeting. Possibly pop up. Bradford hoped not. 

Bradford went over the more private information with the most senior members that day and as they traveled. They figured out what to share with the others and Bradford stressed whoever would be going to the meet would have to be on their best behavior. No intolerance to the Hybrids and aliens. 

“What the hell kind of phrases are these?” Takamura voiced his confusion as he read through the information. “This one looks to be lyrics from a song…” Eyes scrutinized the verses several times. “They say ‘Heavy is the head”, and our response ”that wears the crown.’”

“Hope they don’t expect Brady to be a singer.” Trish playfully nudged Bradford, who only rolled his eyes.

“It’s got some meaning behind it. Being the leader behind the resistance would be a heavy burden.” Laney said, nodding to herself.

“Hmm… clever. I remember some days Commander Reeves seemed to be at her limit. Especially towards the end…” Takamura had to admit that. 

“Don’t remind me.” Bradford shook his head. “There was a lot behind-the-scenes none of you saw. Some of the Council started to ramp up their demands to impossible levels.” He did and didn’t miss them. “Still can’t believe how the Council was turning against us one by one, weeks before the base attack and we were making serious progress.”

“Remember, brainwashing. Found info to confirm that.” Laney said.

“Right. Right.” That was an answer to more than half of it.

“Now, this other phrase is… interesting.” Takamura redirected the conversation. His brows just seemed to be permanently arched in disbelief. “ ’To confirm identities between leaders, he will say: Jets, jousting against sleek, stinging darks, through blackened skies and clenched teeth — and you will say: are living on burning fuel, prayers,  and… solo wings?’ What?”

“Sounds like someone is trying to be a poet.” Trish snickered, more or so at Takamura’s reaction.

“Makes me think of how those UFOs tore up our jets for the longest. Hell, the world’s fighter pilots had it rough.” Laney shook her head. “Lots of times our flyers came home on a wing and a prayer.” 

“Hm…” Takamura raised a hand to his chin. “Wing and a prayer. Perhaps they are a soldier from during the Old War with these choice of words?”

“Could be.” Laney shrugged.

“Doesn’t matter how dumb it may sound, just get it all memorized.” Bradford really couldn’t care less. He had heard and said dumber code phrases. 

They continued to go over the information for the next few days as they closed in on the location. They decided more than half of the caravan would split, taking all the important gear they’re procured, and continued their journey to the Avenger. As they were doing that, they also made contingency plans just in case it was a trap or the meeting went south.

As they neared, they sent a message to the Avenger to let them know what was going on and to make preparations for the Skyranger to pick them up if things went south.

—————————

Travel was uneventful. No bandits, and thankfully, no ADVENT. Seemed like their activity was on the lighter side in this region, but they knew they could never let their guard down. 

The convoy stopped the night just along the border of Chad and Sudan. Some time to get some rest, chart ADVENT movements, and split the convoy up. About 3/4ths of it would continue their way to the Avenger, crossing over into Sudan, and the remaining fourth would make their way to the meeting point.

The night went well. Just before dawn, they all rose, and the group went separate ways.

—————

The hours slipped by as Bradford’s group closed in on the location.

Bradford himself was sitting in the back of a jeep, hands resting tight on his rifle that rested over his knees, eyes closed, head hung back and firmly pressing against the taut patched-together mylar canvas covering a hole where the window should have been. He was sleeping… Or at least attempting to sleep. 

Twisted lips, a snort, and a grunt would slip out every other bump in the road or so.

He was used to the rough bumps, noise, and discomfort of the repaired yet shoddy ride; it was just his brain didn’t want to turn off. Anticipation was killing him.

Another hard bump, more like a jump, rocked him awake, nearly throwing him out of his seat. A curse slipped from his lips.

Rolling his neck a few times, he sat up straight and cursed some more. He rubbed his eyes and continued his cursing into grumbling. 

“Nomitai?” Takamura asked. His words were followed by a faint sloshing.

He looked up, peeking through his fingers, and saw an all too familiar sight. A silver flask. His throat trembled. “Taka… You know the last thing I need right now is a drink.” And it was tempting.

The man chuckled, shaking his head. “That’s why it’s coffee. Since when do I offer my cooking alcohol to others?” He shook the flask again. “It’s a smooth brew blend. A bit concentrated but no bitterness.” 

Bradford thought for a moment. Takamura was stingy when it came to alcohol, which he often relegated all of it to cooking. A snort slipped out. He took the flask. “Maybe a sip.” One sip became half the flask.

“How do you think this meeting will go?” Takamura asked, peeking through the window. The parched landscape was slowly giving way to lush greenery. A refreshing sight once more, especially the trees.

“Hm… quarantine.” A mutter left his lips. Barely noticing Patch, their frequencies specialist, going over the comms giving an all clear to keep moving through and no stopping — air quality was fine, no anomalies.

Massive red, white, and yellow signs, some with flashing words, warned all entering this was a restricted area, and that there was a plague loose. ADVENT will not assist anyone who enters nor rescue them.

“How kind of them to put in both ADVENT a few of the local languages.” Takamura noted a few more signs they passed by before they all disappeared. “Looks like there are no sensors if we’re still moving. Or Patch and co are jamming them.“

“Sounds like we’re finally in the area.” Bradford noted. He took one last gulp before capping off the flask and handing it back to him. “With how Recoil Raidā has been reliable over the years, I feel like it should go well.” 

“But.”

“But what?”

“As you sometimes say,” he raised his hands and soon made air quotes,”’your brain has been over active’.”

Bradford rolled his eyes. “Yes, I have my suspicions. Especially with that large gift.” 

“An interesting way of securing a meeting with short notice.”

Bradford nodded. “Just hope that bitter, cynical part of me isn’t right that this is some sort of setup.”

“Hopefully, it is not.” He related back in his seat. “If it is, we have made plans.”

“Just hope it doesn’t come to that.”

“ETA: 10 minutes to our location.” Somewhat static chatter was announced across their secured frequency. 

“Affirmative, Gargoyle. Continue to keep an eye out for anything suspicious.”

“Roger that.” 

“Everyone, from here on out we use our callsigns.”

They all agreed to that.

“And Ricco, send over the encrypted message so they’ll be expecting us.”

“Done and done, boss.”

—————

Ten minutes slipped by. An overgrown ADVENT outpost greeted their eyes. How quickly nature could take over eyesore those buildings as soon as the nuisances were gone.

As they entered the area, passing through the security gates. There were more signs, toppled over and overgrown, warning of the plague and quarantine. Additionally, there was yellow caution tape strung about; most slack and cut apart. 

XCOM slowed their speed as they pulled into the center of the interconnected outpost. Parked under some trees and covered with many tarps were off-roading vehicles from what they could glimpse. 

Emerging from the central building with quick haste four armed people: one female human, two Hybrids with partial Skirmisher gear — one pale almost white-skinned and the other was a deep rust brown —, and a brown to red scaled Viper with more convention ‘human’ armor in place of the alien kind. All had gas masks hanging loosely from their necks.

Bradford narrowed his eyes as soon as he saw the snake.

“Of course.” He grumbled. He glanced out the windows and noticed a few areas that could be sniper nests across the outpost. Which was quickly confirmed by some quick, quiet chatter from the other crew.

He raised his radio to his face. “Best behavior. EVERYONE.”

The female human told them to halt, and Bradford told his people to listen. Their turf, their rules… for now. 

As their convoy rolled to a stop, Bradford was the first to step, rifle in hand, but relaxed. One hand went up to the mask hanging from his neck and adjusted it. Eyes made contact with each person, lingering a bit too long on the Viper(and finger inching towards that trigger), before looking back at the human. He even rolled his right shoulder forward, showing the XCOM insignia, but like they could matter much. There were always imposters out there, and ADVENT was the source of some of them. False flags.

The human nodded to him.

“Let’s get this over with. If you are who you’re supposed to be.” She ran her fingers through her frizzy hair. Head shuttering, she cleared her throat. “Crying out…” She said. 

“Ooh, go and wake the king.” He replied.

“Call to arms…”

“For those who kiss the ring.”

“Stand your ground…” 

“The walls are comin' down.”

“It's do or die…”

“Do or die.”

“Heavy is the head…”

“That wears the crown.”

“Well…” Eyebrows raised, and eyes genuinely pleased, the human looked at her companions and gave an approving nod

“Step one, completed.” The pale-skinned Hybrid hummed with a smile, a voice higher pitched than most Hybrids. “Follow, follow.” Turning back to the main building, she gestured for them to follow. 

“Skipping a step or two, Hess.” The other Hybrid shook his head.

“We,” the human gestured to herself and the Viper, “will handle it, Vox.” She then looked at Bradford. “We’ll direct where your drivers should park your vehicles. Follow Hess and Vox inside.”

Bradford nodded. Shifting a hand over to his radio, he raised it to his face. “Follow their orders to a ’t’ on where to park and no funny business.”

“Roger.” They all responded.

With that done, he gestured for the others to follow the Hybrids into the building.

“Weapons are allowed, but fingers off triggers or we confiscate the weapons.” Vox warned.

“Noted.” Bradford nodded. Though spotting a few more Vipers as they moved from room to room almost made him break that rule. But he soon noticed how few of the Vipers were the military kind. Most seemed to be “civilian” types to help ease humanity into trusting their alien overlords. A few seemed to be nurses, seeing how they were expertly attending to the wounded. 

“Hm.” He was still going to be weary towards them.

He glanced back at Laney before speaking in a whisper. “Put in a message to the Avenger. If everything goes well here, we need some of our medical staff here. Get these people patched up.”

“Got it.” She nodded.

Though rundown, it looks like Recoil Raidā’s group had fixed up the place. Lights flickered here and there, missing floor panels, and haphazard coverings over the windows. It was rough, but the place looked to be livable. 

“Wonder how long they’ve been here?” Bradford mumbled to himself. 

As they walked, a sight made him, and a few of his people, stop. Or perhaps it was the sounds and a person talking? A rather breathy and muffled voice.

“Hmm. Seems the anesthesia is wearing off sooner than it should. Perhaps this disease afflicting you is the cause? Or is it your biology with the constant tweaking your cruel Masters perform? This changes my plans…”

Either way, glimmering sheer curtains caked with that familiar orange blood had been hastily tapped to the outside frame of a door; here and there, a few pieces of that silver tape were rolling back. 

Inside, though obscured, the sight wasn’t pretty. Chattering and hissing was one of those evolved Sectoids, but it looked wrong. Skin splotchy and beyond pale, limbs misshapen if not bloated, and body riddled with oozing black and white pustules. One hand tugged at the psi-dampening collar on its neck and it feebly pushed away with the other at the person in a hazmat suit. A rather tactical if not armored and rugged hazmat suit. He’d never seen such equipment, even from ADVENT…. for now. This had to be a new outfit as they looked out of place with everyone here.

“Please do your best to stop fighting. I don’t want to slip and make this worse for you.” There was a coldness to their voice, but somehow they sounded sincere. “I would give you more medicine if I had any left. Tch. Operations, careless scouting.” A grumble slipped out. “I’ll try to make this quick. You’ve suffered enough. Poor thing.”

The surgeon, if they could be called that, seemed rather unbothered as they worked delicately with the scalpel to carve open the Sectoid’s chest. Satisfied with the cut, they switched over to a retractor to open the incision further, not before taking a movement to remove the hand partially obscuring their helmet and shoving it back down to the table.

“Fascinating. Every time I think I’ve understood your kinds anatomy, the Elders go about tweaking you again.” The surgeon spoke their mind freely. “What generation are you? Or should I say version? Just another prototype continually being tweaked to reach ‘perfection’.” A scoff left their lips. “Perfection wouldn’t suffer from a plague and genetic degradation so easily, now would it? Note to self: Go through all my notes regarding the plagues. Need to cross-reference details. Gresslar loves detailed notes.”

“Time for the saw.”

A hand went to the tray again for another tool, aimlessly searching around.

“Saw…. Saaaaaw… Hm?” They glanced over their shoulder. An annoyed sigh almost hissed, came out. “Really? They them that again. And the bone cutters… Malakas… Recoil is paying extra for that.” 

“Guess I’ll use my hands. Bone structure is still rather fragile with the right force applied.” They looked back at the Sectoid eyes meeting those pained black orbs. They placed a hand on their head; the creature was shaking like a leaf. “This will be quite unpleasant for you. I apologize. I take no joy in your suffering.”

A few knicks here and there in just the right spots on the ribs with a scalpel took off some bone. Then, one by one, the surgeon snapped rib-bone after rib-bone around the sternum with their fingers until it was free. Again, the Sectoid let out a high-pitched chatter of pain as it weakly fought back. The surgeon was still unbothered by the attempts to stop them. Once that bone plate fell, they plucked it out and placed it on a nearby tray.

“And to end it all.”

A moment later, they grabbed a large syringe with a long clear hose that coiled on the floor, leading to a small machine next to their legs. Double-checking the thick needle for a moment, they soon plunged it directly into the Sectoid’s beating heart. Its chittering wails were quickly drowned out as the surgeon turned on the machine. Whirring to life. It hissed before going to work; orange blood, specked with black particles, traveled down that once clear hose.

The Sectoid continued to kick and scream. Movements slowly growing more sluggish as the seconds passed.

 “Stop fightn’.” The coldness in their voice barely changed. Yet, a blood-caked hand went to the Sectoid’s head and stroked it. “You know your fate. You were abandoned. They care not for you. The Elders have never cared.” They shook their head. “Stop fightn’, it’ll go faster. Ease your breathn’. Then you can sleep and join the others. Your blood will be memories fightn’ for our cause. You will not be forgotten.”

The Sectoid hissed and chittered for a little while longer until those flailing arms just dropped; one slipped down to the surgeon’s stroking hand. With each slow breath, the glow in its chest began to fade. Eyes narrowing, it weakly pressed its head against the surgeon’s hand. 

“Shh. It’ll be all over soon. Ease your breathn’.”

Several breaths later, the light in its chest finally died. It grew still.

“Subject expired. Why? Merciful option. Anesthesia supplies low. Time of expiration… 12:42. Beginning autopsy and gathering samples for isolation.”

It was all just strangely mesmerizing to watch.

Feeling a firm hand on his shoulder pull him forward nearly made Bradford flip out of pure instinct until he heard the voice.

“Come.” It was Vox. He had a weary, if not sad, look on his face as he glanced at the surgeon’s messy work. “We have a meeting and… you do not want to see their work. Strange one they are…”

Bradford looked back at that room and then at the Hybrid. That look in their eyes was a deeply pained one. Did it know that Sectoid?

“Right. Meeting. Lead on.” He nodded, then gestured for his people to follow.

Back on track, they neared the meeting room. Bradford pondered for a moment, wondering if this was a repurposed communications room as his mind went through several outpost layouts he was familiar with. 

As they neared, he heard chattering, but one voice stood out. It sounded male, human, and they were speaking in a foreign language that sounded somewhat familiar to him.

Ears twitching, his eyes narrowed. “Is that… is that Japanese I hear?” Leaning as inconspicuously as he could, he whispered to Takamura.

The man took a moment to focus his hearing. Eyes looked up and shifted about, listening to his mother tongue he rarely got to hear most months. It was refreshing. “I believe so.” He whispered back, pausing to listen some more. “Sounds like they are discussing ADVENT supply lines and moving refugees around.”

“Hm.” Sounded like they liked to stay busy. But there was something about that voice that almost sounded familiar to him. He shook his head. It was probably nothing.

As they reached the room, there was a man pointing at maps strewn across a long table; he was wearing a red beanie with curling brown hair peaking out here and there. Besides the cap, he was wearing a modular tactical vest with a sleeveless turquoise jacket underneath, woodland-print camouflage cargo pants, combat boots, and more tactical equipment.

“Hm.” Bradford raised a brow. His mind went back to the way Nithrall described the leader. “Think that may be Recoil Raidā.”

“Boss!” Hess racked the metal grating on the walls with her gauntlets a few times, claws scratching the metal, creating an ear-grating sound.

Just about everyone in the room cringed.

Recoil’s fingers dug into the table, shoulders tensed before relaxing, but those fingers didn’t. “Hess.” He hissed her voice. Slowly, he turned to look at her. “Yamete kudasai…”

She only grinned in response.

Vox sighed, hands twitching, ready to smack his own face. “Here is XCOM, boss. They passed the first phrase.”

“Oh?” His eyes lit up, finally noticing people accompanying the Hybrids. Definitely people he had never seen before. He looked them up and down several times, especially the rather gruff looking one with the facial scar on his right cheek. He grinned, voice easily slipping from a Japanese accent to a more American one. “Now, will they pass the second?” He chuckled to himself. 

Clapping his hands together a few times, he turned to face them and went over. 

He stood in front of Bradford and studied him a bit more. His grin grew more when the man raised a brow.

“I take you are the leader?” He cocked his head to the side. “Cynical leader in need of some sleep and a strong drink?”

Several tried to stifle a laugh.

Bradford snorted and nearly elbowed Takamura. Letting his rifle fall to his side, he crossed his arms. “Depends. Chatty.”

Recoil grinned more.

“Let’s see if those Void Walkers did their job.” He said before clearing his throat. He put his hands behind his back as he rocked back and forth on his heels. “Jets, jousting against sleek, stinging darks, through blackened skies and clenched teeth.”

“Are living on burning fuel, prayers, and solo wings.” Bradford answered.

“Ah!” A light laugh slipped out. “Void Walkers kept their promise.”

“Pleased to meet you, I’m the Recoil Raidā.” He extended his hand. “And you are… Central? Or Dimitri? Or Decker?”

He nodded. “Central.” Unfolding his arms, Bradford shook his hand with a firm grip. “Glad to finally meet you face to face. And thanks for the surprise gift.” 

Now having a better look at his face, Recoil looked to be in his mid-forties to early fifties. Light black and gray stubble lined his chin and upper lip. Bradford noticed running up the left side of his neck and partially to his face were scattered, dark scars varying from small pricks to twisted lines. They almost blended in with his freckled face, but a few glinted silver. Shrapnel pocked face like Nitrhall had described. He wondered how far it went. How did he get it? During the Old War? Questions for another time and if they became friends. 

“I can say likewise. And you’re welcome. Felt like making something special for the occasion.” He smiled. “It’s always nice to finally put a face to the name. Dead drops and text communications can be so… distant.” He rolled his eyes. “Sorry about the no radio communication for the longest. Took a while to get some vocal scramblers.” 

“Agreed.” Bradford nodded. “No need to apologize, had to keep your identities hidden these days. So what is it you want to chat about?”

“Now, let’s continue introductions as I see you’ve brought along a motley crew.” Leaning ever so slightly over, he noticed some more of his people were guiding Bradford’s people to the room. “Then trade some information, possibly some gear, and properly solidify this alliance.”

Bradford nodded along as he rubbed his chin. “Sounds like a plan.”

“Good. Now come in! Come in!” He ushered for all to enter the room.

Bradford was already introducing his people before everyone was in the room — mainly sticking to callsigns unless the person interrupted him. Recoil did the same with his own crew, though went into greater detail about little quirks everyone had which got a few of them to tell him to shut up or they threw a bottle at him. One Viper even threatened to crush him if he continued to mention her shedding problem. It all got a few snorts out of Bradford. Raider was indeed an excitable person, as described. Seemed like his group was one big dysfunctional family. Like XCOM.

With introductions over, things switched over to more resistance and tactical talk. Recoil filled them in on what they were talking about before their arrival — moving refugees to some hidden havens across the country and sabotaging some ADVENT security checkpoints as they ran along the routes they were looking at.

“Think we can cut out most of the travel if we get every to out ship. Fly over all the trouble and would take hours compared to days to hit all the locations.” Bradford offered a solution. “Thought we could still do some sabotaging. Would help the locals move more freely for some time.”

“Ship? Wait… y’all actually have a ship?” Recoil asked, voice slowly slipping into a southern accent. His brows shot up. There was a curious twinkle in his eyes. “Alien ship? Like them rumors from some them trading spots say ‘XCOM repurposed alien cargo ship’?”

Bradford chuckled and nodded. “That’s us.” 

“Gosh darn… I have to see it.”

“Recoil, focus.” Vox shook his head.

But the talk quickly went off track as Recoil spewed out a bunch of questions concerning the Avenger. What type of cargo ship was it? Food? Materials? Alien soldiers? Human test subjects still alive or liquified? Size? Shape? Flight controls? Flight speed? Power source? Multi-brained alien AI that has to be nullified or gutted or else it will fry all intruders at a drop of a hat?

Bradford somewhat answered some and ignored others as he tried not to be overwhelmed by the sudden verbal onslaught. But there was a curious suspicion growing in with how detailed some of the questions were getting with each passing second. A regular citizen wouldn’t even know to ask those questions. He had to be a veteran of the Old War. The question was it the regular government forces or XCOM?

Bradford made some sly hand signals to Laney. 

‘Old war military vibes?’

‘Old war military vibes.’ She responded with like gestures and a nod.

He wondered how he would broach that subject without picking at old wounds.

It took Vox and the others to get him to calm down and go back to more important matters, but Recoil really wanted to see the ship.

Discussions continued, and they hashed plans out. Recoil allowed them to use the room to get in contact with the Avenger to confirm everything went well and to let them know where to send the Skyranger and to prepare for some temporary guests.

Eventually, they broke off into their own groups. Bradford made a little huddle corner with his crew and began to discuss who Recoil could possibly be.

“With all those questions? I’m leaning more towards XCOM.” Trish said.

“But you would think he would confirm if he was one, no?” Takamura wasn’t so sure.

“Could be withholding to just make sure we’re not ‘fakes’.” Trish tutted.

“Right, right.” He nodded.

“You sure you don’t recognize him, Bradford?” Laney asked. “You memorized a lot of faces and callsigns back in the day.”

“Really?” Bradford just gave her an ‘annoyed’ look. “The main HQ roster was so damn large, and I had an entire communication team to keep up with everything.” He shook his head. “And then could have been from any branch and those were just as large.”

“Yeesh!” She raised her hands and backed up. “Was just asking.”

“Mhm.” Bradford shook his head and soon grumbled.

He glanced back at Recoil and studied his features some more. Nothing rang a bell, but there was something about them that seemed eerily familiar.

“There’s something about him… that seems familiar to me.”

“How so?” The others asked.

“I don’t know… mannerisms? Accent? Well, accents.” He took noticed the shifts from American to Japanese to a more southern American when he got too excited. “I don’t know.” He shook his head. “There’s something about him I can’t put my finger on.”

“Ask a few questions? Laney suggested, nudging his arm a few times.

“Don’t want to knock a hornet’s nest… yet.”

Receiving a response from the Avenger that Firebrand was on her way and the Skyranger was stocked with medical supplies and a few doctors got everyone into gear. Bradford ordered his people to get a landing zone designated and work with Recoil’s people to move the most wounded first. Recoil just told his people to assist and get everyone organized to move soon.

The room quieted down as it was slowly emptied. Just chatter from those in the halls and other rooms.

Bradford took a moment to double-check his gear. Straps all locked and tight. Additional magazines all in place. That overly customized rifle he held near and dear to his heart was still good and had its safety only. All good.

He barely noticed someone creeping up behind him.

“So about that ship and XCOM.” Recoil said. Just a little too close.

Bradford’s brow twitched as he tensed. Slowly, his head turned to look at him. A quizzical brow was greeted by an excited grin. “You sure like asking a lot of questions.”

“Yes.” He nodded twice. “How else am I supposed ta gather info?”

Bradford shook his head. 

He had a feeling if he wanted to leave, the man would follow and still pester him about the damn Avenger. But maybe he could use that to his advantage?

“I’ll answer some of your questions.” Bradford said.

“Sweet, so—“ A raised finger quickly hushed Recoil.

“Only if you answer some of mine.” He explained. “Think of it as quid pro quo.”

Recoil let out a few chortled snorts. “So a tit for tat? I can roll with that.” Seemed fair. “So again, as I can tell yew were being rather cagey on that ship type, what was it?” He asked that question again. “And whatcha wanna know?”

A little information exchange began following the agreement. Bradford still stayed purposefully vague on details about the Avenger, but gave just enough to satisfy Recoil’s curiosity. He also answered some questions about XCOM. They were the ones that fell towards the end of the War, scattered to the winds, but reunited once more. He also truthfully told he was one of the original staff back in the day, but withheld his position.

In turn, Recoil answered his questions. 

Yes, he fought in the Old War. He fought as a pilot and shot down several alien ships during the war. Survived many dogfights by the skin of his teeth, but towards the end of the war, they finally shot him down. Still questioned how he survived the crash. Like Bradford, he avoided disclosing his country of origin he was, but with his strong American accent and an even stronger southern accent that would peak through, Bradford had a strong feeling he was once been a part of the U.S. Air Force. And then how he danced around any encounters with XCOM had Bradford strongly believing he may be one of their own or had jointly worked during some operation.

Recoil continued to answer some questions, such as he had been traveling the world, mostly with the assistance of the Void Walkers, to help out various cells and was looking for his sister. 

As he continued to blabber on about some innocuous details, Bradford kept picking up various ticks and mannerisms that seemed very familiar to him.

Why? He could wrap his mind around it. Why did this man seem so familiar to him? His eyes scrutinized that face once again. Nothing about the scars rang a bell, but something was coalescing in his mind regarding his facial shape. And those freckles. They reminded him of somebody.

Then it clicked. His eyes lit up.

Suddenly, he blurted out. “Oh God!” 

Recoil paused mid-rant and looked at him. “What? Said too much.”

“What? No. Give me a second.” He shook his head, turning to the side as he pinched his chin and grumbled.

A few minutes passed, and he was still grumbling. A few ‘can he be” and “is it possible” slipped out.

“Uh, Central?” Recoil moved closer. “Something I said?”

“No!” He raised a hand to stop him. “No. No. No.” Again he shook his head before looking at him; eyes studied those features again. “It’s just.” He bit his tongue as he mulled over what he was about to say. “Take off your hat.”

“Take off my hat?” Recoil raised a brow. “Why?”

“I can’t explain! Just take off your hat!”

“Geez, calm down… Ataoka…” He backed away, gesturing for him to chill out. “Atama ga okashii…” He grumbled under his breath. “Wonder how the heck this even matters.”

Taking off his hat, revealed curly dark brown locks with some grays here and there that went past his ears. Recoil ran his fingers through his hair a few times before giving his head a good shake. The locks bounced around before settling down.

“Hat off. M’k?” Stretching his arms, he gestured his hands outwards. “Better, nau?”

Everything just fell into place.

“Charles?” Bradford asked, voice nearly a whisper. “Charles Reeves?”

Recoil’s nose scrunched up as he jerked his head back. Eyes quickly narrowed. “How the hell —“ He paused, biting his tongue. Too late. Gave himself away. His composure was gone. Through gritted teeth, he did his best to keep his voice low. “How the hell do you know that!?”

“John.” He took a step towards him. “I’m John Bradford.”

He only got a puzzled look in response.

“Come on, Kansas high school. We met and became good friends. You introduced me to your sister, Jynn, and the three of us hung out frequently.”

“John?” He questioned, studying the man’s features some more. Nothing looked familiar to him. He looked nothing like the John he knew, but the last time he saw him was over 10 years ago. “No… yabai…” The puzzle looks continued, along with some head shakes. Impossible.

“Come on,” dismay crept into Bradford’s voice, “Grand Canyon trip… when was it… when was it?” He snapped his fingers a few times. “Gah, I think the 90s, but more importantly, you somehow dyed Jynn’s hair pink when she was sleeping. She chased you around after discovering the horrible joke, tackled you, and broke your collarbone.” He rattled out the details he could recall from that fond memory and continued to add on various escapes Charles got up to and many involved annoying his sister.

Recoil’s eyes widened with each tale. This man somehow knew his past and his family, but he just couldn’t recognize him.

“Heh, and you had some catchphrase you’d throw at me after I had a rough day with wrestling.” Bradford shook his head as he smiled, fondly remembering things from times long gone. “How did it go again? Think like this: Yo, buddy. Still alive?”

Recoil froze, nearly hearing that. “John? Johnny, John?”

“You know I damn well hate that nickname, right?”

“Maji manji?! Shooooot! Johnny!”

He threw himself at Bradford, wrapping his arms tightly around him and even lifted him up. He repeated his name several times, mixed in with several joyous ’I can’t believe it’ and other ramblings in English and Japanese as he twirled him around, very much ignoring Bradford’s laughs and protests to be put down. This drew quite the attention.

Eventually, he put him down and pulled away to catch his breath and contain his excitement.

“Calm, calm, calm…” He mumbled under his breath, struggling to get his breathing under control. But once he did, he looked back at Bradford. “You look so heckn’ different. The heck happened to you?”

Bradford shook his head. He looked away, towards the ground. Somber words left him. “War. Time. Alcohol. Let myself go down a dark hole for many years”

“Damn, buddy.” Moving closer, Charles placed a hand on his shoulder, gripping it tightly. 

“It’s gotten better. Still struggle from time to time, but they,” he gestured towards the outside, “help keep me together. Besides our mission.”

“I can relate. Minus the drinking. Lost a lot of friends… Family.” His voice cracked for a moment before he quickly cleared it. “These guys, heh, these guys keep me going. And…” He trailed off, mumbling as his mind drifted to darker places. Then his grip tightened as gears clicked in his mind. His head snapped up and to Bradford. “My sis!” 

Bradford’s eye twitched.

“Jynn! Do you have any clue where s-s-she could be? Can’t find any records of her but I feel like she’s alive.” He spoke, tongue nearly tripping over his words. “I remember dad mentioning she got some big position when the War was just getting started and contact with her was sparse and—“

A firm hand gripped his shoulder. “Charles…” There was a sad look in Bradford’s eye. He opened his mouth, but nothing came out. It just hung loosely, tongue flapping about, throat trembling to speak, but nothing would come out.

His pupils shrank. He could feel himself shake. A lump grew in his throat, but he forced it down. “T-tell me.” He forced the words out. “You know something… tell me.”

“Get everyone out of this room and seal it.”

With everyone out and the doors closed, Bradford told him everything. Everything he could remember from the horrible day. The surprise coordinated attack across all the bases. Mass mind control turned everyone against each other. Every corner swarming with aliens as the base was crumbling around them. And then the worst part…

“We got separated. A tremor and mass rock fall separated us. Nearly got crushed by the rocks and girders coming down.” He paused, taking in a shaky breath. “By the time I got back up… one of those Mutons was on top of her. The butt of its rifle came crashing down on her face and brought her down. Bloodied her.”

“No…” Charles muttered.

“Next the damn alien picked her up, slinging her over its shoulder, and was quickly making its leave. I tried to follow but more rubble came down, followed by explosions, separated us. I switched to pure survival mode. Help who I could and get the hell out of there.” He shook his head. A hand went to his face and traced the scar. “The aliens have her.” 

With the story over, Charles was silent.

He stepped away. Soon, he paced back and forth. After a few pauses here and there, he looked at Bradford, mouth opening for a moment, before quickly shutting it. A moment later, he was jabbing his finger in Bradford’s chest several times. He barely reacted, almost as if he was expecting it.

“You… you… you…” Choked words came out. Tears streamed down his face. A frustrated sputtered yell slipped out as he turned around, throwing his hands up into the air before he went back to pace.

Then finally it hit. He let out an anguished yell as he fell to his knees and wept.

Giving him a few moments, Bradford went over and sat next to him, throwing an arm over him, which was quickly accepted.

“No, no, no…” Charles sputtered through sniffles. He couldn’t believe it. He didn’t want to believe it.

“I’m so sorry, Charles.” 

It took a long time to console him as most of it was spent waving off people curious about the yells and crying it. But eventually, the wailing became choked sniffles.

“Why… why…?” Still processing it all, Charles just couldn’t believe it.

“I’m sorry.” Bradford sighed. He felt for him. He missed her too. “I have some positive news.”

“How can there be any positives?

“We believe she’s alive. We’ve been searching for her.”

He froze. A sniffle here and there before he slowly looked at him.“R-really!?”

Bradford nodded. “We’ve found some data. The aliens still have her. Not sure what they’re doing with her, but seem to be using her in some way.” Well, there was a theory, but he did not feel like it would be best to drop it on him. And then, personally, he was hoping the theory wasn’t true. “She’s alive.”

“What the hell…” He wasn’t sure if he could believe it, but there was a determination in Bradford’s eyes that eased some of the pain in his heart.

Some more time passed as Bradford shared some of their findings, keeping out any details that would make Charles spiral again. Everything weighed heavily on him. Why did the aliens capture her? A question he was afraid to have answered. 

Eventually, someone came in to tell them the Skyranger arrived. Bradford left for some time to make sure all the loading and unloaded went smoothly and to have Firebrand pass on a few more messages to the Avenger.

When he returned to the communications room, Charles was back on his feet and had cleaned up his face. There were still some sniffles and the occasional tear.

“Sorry to just… drop that all on you like,” Bradford just gestured with his hands, “that.”

Charles raised his hand. “Johnny, buddy. It’s fine. I kinda asked fer it. Would have pestered to get all the deets.”

He just nodded.

“Now… now I gotta ask.” Charles looked away for a moment before looking back at him. He leaned in and whispered. “You ever tell her?”

He raised a brow. Mind not exactly getting what he was he was saying. “Tell her wh—“ Then it clicked. “Oh, hell no!”Bradford blurted out, only to hush himself quickly. Tanned cheeks quickly became a rosey red. He quickly whispered back through gritted teeth. “She was my boss! We already had enough heat on us from our backers when they found out we knew each other as teenagers.”

“You had years before then, dumbass!” Charles knocked his head a few times with his knuckles, only to get his hand slapped away. “You two swapped letters when the both of yous were enlisted, and you still didn’t tell her?”

“I couldn’t think about a crush then and kinda… sorta… forgot about it.” 

Charles erupted into a snouty laugh, hand smacking his chest a few times. “You’re such a lousy liar! You still got the hots for her! Such a ea heddo aikō-ka!”

“Charles!”

The two squabbled a little longer on the subject until Charles finally felt like he had ruffled his old friend’s feathers enough.

“If she’s still alive, still alive,” and Charles prayed she was, “you better act on those feelings, Johnny.”

“I… will… consider… it.” Bradford was still conflicted about the topic. Duties came to mind first and how it was a bad idea to mix romance with their occupations. And sometimes he questioned if his crush was just merely an infatuation that never seemed to want to leave his mind, even when other opportunities for companionship and love had come around. He didn’t like to think about that much. 

“So, where do we go from here?” Charles asked.

“Well,” Bradford rolled his shoulder before gesturing for him to follow, “think we’ll get this refugee business all sorted and disable those ADVENT checkpoints.”

“Right. Right.”

“And then we’ll talk more about Jynn back on the Avenger. Also, get introduced to the rest of us. And help your outfit get some better gear.”

“Right…” He didn’t want to think about that. “New gear sounds good and maybe some tactical training? We have some greens that need it and then some refreshing would be nice for everyone.”

Bradford nodded. “I believe we can do that. Already helping out a local haven with some training.”

“Sounds like a plan.”

“Question…” A thought crossed Bradford’s mind.

“Yeah?

“What’s with that geared-up surgeon? Never seen such gear before.”

“Heh. That’s a story. Interesting faction they’re from.”

————

The Skyranger came back for a few more trips for those in the most critical state before switching over to moving the refugees to the havens Charles’ people had been in contact with.

Once that was all done, everyone backed up and joined XCOM for their trip back to the Avenger.

Charles could barely contain his excitement as soon as he saw that massive ship and pretty much a kid in a candy shop once they entered.

Bradford introduced him to the Senior crew and explained his relations to Commander Reeves. To say they were speechless would be an understatement. Many gave their condolences. 

Over several months interspersed with lots of training and many operations, Charles and his crew joined XCOM but in a more distant manner as there were many on the Avenger that were not found of the idea of aliens and Hybrids joining even if they were loyal to the cause. But he was fine with his people being on the ground. They had ways to get around fairly fast.

With their new skills and tactics, Charles and crew set out to do their own information gathering to track down the location of Commander Reeves. He kept in close contact with Bradford, filling him in on any discoveries they may have made or supports to the cause they came across. Inadvertently, his crew became quite the roving band to bring people together and quickly get them established. 

Bradford really couldn’t believe he had been communicating with an old friend for so long. Really, he was happy it was him. Something from the past the aliens didn’t destroy. It brought some much light to his darkened soul and gave him another push to from Jynn. XCOM needed their Commander back. Charles needed his sister. And he really wanted his friend back.

For now, he had to put his feelings aside to run XCOM and the resistance. He was the acting commander for the time being. 

At least he had one thing to look forward to when they had to decipher particular encrypted messages. Something that made his soul lighter. 

“Yo, Johnny! You still alive?”

Promote Your Travel Business In 9 Easy And Effective Ways

Your travel business will attract customers because you offer a great product that no competitors offer or because customers trust the business owner.  In other words, tourists will book with your travel agency because they believe in your expertise and industry knowledge.  How will they know and trust your expertise if you don't do the right thing to establish yourself as a travel expert?  You will, of course, need to search for efficient ways to promote your travel agency. There is no one-size-fits-all approach if you want to market and brand your travel business. If you are a solo entrepreneur or an online travel agent, chances are you don't have enough team and resources to help run large-scale marketing campaigns.  However, there are easy steps you can leverage that don't require any digital marketing expertise. These tips are equally valid if you are starting a travel business.

1) Pick a Social Media Platform

You will need to choose the social media platform that your target audience uses. It could be Instagram. The reason you need one over many is that you will need time to create content. Producing social media content for your travel business could be time-consuming while you have to run other business operations. Fix yourself a calendar and a content topic. Instagram travel or any social media platform you choose can showcase different aspects of your travel business, such as stunning destinations and unique experiences. Engage with your audience by asking questions and encouraging them to share their travel stories or tips. 

2) Leverage of Local Advertising

Unless your travel business specifically targets a certain demographic, it is also important to advertise locally and leverage local advertising opportunities to establish yourself as a sought-after local destination or service provider. Being known at home and abroad is a great thing, isn't it? It increases brand recognition and attracts a potential customer base in the short and long term. It also helps establish credibility and trust in the market.  If it makes sense for your target audience and your finances, you could try placing ads in online newspapers, TV stations, or billboards. Coca-Cola is a prime example of a company that has successfully achieved global recognition and built a loyal customer following in both spheres. 

3) Start a Referral Program for Your Travel Business

This is one of the lowest-cost marketing ideas for your travel business. Implementing a referral program can help increase word-of-mouth marketing and attract new customers to your travel business, even on an unexpected scale. Consciously or unconsciously, we, from time to time, refer products and services without getting paid.

Recommending products and services without getting paid is a common practice among individuals. You buy an iPhone 13 and start talking to your friends and family about its features, whether it's the camera quality, the sleek design, or the impressive processing power. Imagine someone or a hotel referring your travel business for a commission. Isn't that more encouraging? Here are the types of people you can rely on with a referral program: Your past clients, hotels, travel agents, taxi drivers, etc.

4) Promotional Merchandise and Gifts

On top of your great customer service, referral programs combined with promotional merchandise and gifts are another simple and effective way to promote your travel business among your clients and community. Who doesn't like a gift or a free, useful item? T-shirts, travel mugs, and great postcards from X destinations will stick with your clients and remind them of their amazing travel experiences. You may downplay this marketing as too traditional, but one thing is certain: tourism is about people. “Wherever it is you may be, it is your friends who make your world.” —Chris Bradford. In other words, building strong relationships and connections with others is essential in the tourism industry. If you are a trustworthy and reliable travel business, no wonder people will be happy to associate with you and talk about you to their friends—free of charge. 

5) Attend Travel Fairs and Events

While leveraging the power of digital marketing to showcase your travel business and connect with potential customers is the most embraced way in this era, we shouldn't ignore the power of human connection. Your SEO travel and social media strategy are just tools to serve human needs.

Participating in travel fairs and events allows for personal interaction and networking opportunities that can greatly benefit your travel business.  You can't show enough of your sense of humor online, but in-person interactions and conversations are where genuine connections are made. According to a Forbes study on the importance of face-to-face business meetings, 85% of business travel and meetings result in stronger and more meaningful relationships. Having a great online presence is important, but it cannot replace the power of in-person interactions.

6) Email Marketing Works with Your Travel Businesses

Email marketing allows you to personalize your communication and deliver targeted messages directly to your audience's inbox. Utilize email marketing to supplement your online presence and further strengthen your relationships with clients and prospects.  It can serve as a valuable tool for nurturing relationships, providing updates, and sharing exclusive content that adds value to your clients' experiences.  Before sending an email, ask yourself, who needs this, why, and when they need this information.

7) Travel Contest is also a Good Strategy

Host a contest or giveaway to engage your audience and increase brand awareness. If you know your target audience well and understand their preferences and interests, you can run this type of promotion. Let's say you sell fixed-departure group tours. You can partner with travel influencers or bloggers to host a giveaway where participants can win a free trip. Offering two seats on one of your group tours as a prize will, in the short or long term, have a positive result. 

8) Join Travel Associations. 

This can be a chance to increase your visibility and credibility in the industry. It is important for travel businesses to join travel associations because it allows them to connect with other professionals in the industry and stay updated on business travel trends and forecasts. By being a part of a travel association, businesses can gain access to valuable resources, educational opportunities, and networking events that can help them grow and thrive in the competitive travel industry. Additionally, being a member of a reputable travel association can enhance the credibility and reputation of a travel business, leading to increased trust and confidence from potential customers.

9) Repeat: If it ain't broken, don't fix it. 

There is no need to change a strategy as long as it works with your business goals. However, it is important to regularly evaluate your strategies and adapt them as needed to stay relevant in a rapidly changing industry. This flexibility can help your travel business stay ahead of the competition and continue to meet the evolving needs and preferences of your customers.  FAQs on How to Market and Launch Your Travel What is a travel business?A travel business is a company or organization that provides services related to travel, such as booking flights, accommodations, and tours for individuals or groups. It can also include offering travel packages, organizing events or conferences, and providing travel-related information and assistance to customers.How profitable is travel business?The profitability of a travel business can vary depending on various factors such as market conditions, competition, and the effectiveness of the business's strategies.

We are thankful that these connections cannot be fully replicated or replaced by digital means alone. Remember to leverage the benefits of technology while still prioritizing meaningful human connections.   Read the full article

A Comprehensive Guide to Bradford Water Heaters: Efficiency, Reliability, and Value

When it comes to choosing a water heater, there are many options available, but one brand that consistently stands out for its quality and reliability is Bradford. Bradford water heaters have earned a solid reputation for offering long-lasting performance, energy efficiency, and innovative features that meet the needs of households and businesses alike. In this blog, we will explore the key benefits of Bradford water heaters, their different types, and why they could be the perfect solution for your hot water needs.

Why Choose a Bradford Water Heater?

There are many water heater brands on the market, so why should you choose a Bradford water heater over others? Here are a few compelling reasons:

1. Durability and Longevity

Bradford water heaters are built to last. The company uses high-quality materials like durable steel tanks and glass lining to protect against corrosion, which is one of the most common reasons water heaters fail over time. Bradford water heaters are designed to withstand the challenges of daily use, meaning that once installed, they will serve your household for years without frequent maintenance issues.

2. Energy Efficiency

One of the standout features of Bradford water heaters is their focus on energy efficiency. Many models come equipped with features like enhanced insulation and electronic controls that reduce energy consumption. By choosing a water heater with a high energy efficiency rating, you can lower your monthly utility bills and minimize your carbon footprint at the same time. Bradford’s ENERGY STAR® certified models are especially popular among eco-conscious consumers.

3. Innovative Technology

Bradford continuously improves its water heaters with the latest technology. Many of their models come with features such as digital controls for precise temperature management, safety shut-offs to prevent overheating, and self-diagnostic systems that alert homeowners to any potential issues. These features not only improve the efficiency of the water heater but also enhance safety and ease of use.

4. Variety of Models to Suit Every Need

Another reason to choose a Bradford water heater is the wide range of models available. Whether you’re looking for a tankless water heater or a traditional tank model, Bradford has options for every household and budget. They also offer models designed for both residential and commercial applications, so whether you need hot water for your home, business, or industrial setting, Bradford has you covered.

Types of Bradford Water Heaters

Bradford offers several types of water heaters, each with its own benefits and ideal use cases. Understanding the differences can help you choose the right model for your home or business.

1. Tankless Water Heaters

Tankless water heaters are growing in popularity because they provide hot water on demand without the need to store water in a tank. This results in higher energy efficiency because the system only heats water when you need it. Bradford tankless water heaters are compact, making them an excellent choice for smaller homes or apartments with limited space. They’re also perfect for larger households with high hot water demands because they provide a continuous supply of hot water without running out.

2. Gas Water Heaters

Bradford gas water heaters are among the most efficient and reliable on the market. Powered by natural gas or propane, these water heaters are ideal for homes with gas hookups and for consumers who prefer the fast recovery time of a gas heater. Gas heaters are known for heating water more quickly than electric models, which is particularly useful for larger families or those with heavy hot water usage.

3. Electric Water Heaters

For homes without gas access, electric Bradford water heaters offer a powerful alternative. These models are easy to install, and while they may take slightly longer to heat water compared to gas heaters, they are highly efficient and available in a range of sizes. Electric models are also ideal for small apartments or single-person households where hot water demand may be lower.

4. Heat Pump Water Heaters

Another innovative option from Bradford is the heat pump water heater, which uses electricity to move heat from one place to another rather than generating heat directly. This makes heat pump water heaters more energy-efficient than traditional electric models. If you’re looking to significantly reduce your energy consumption and are willing to invest in a more advanced system, a Bradford heat pump water heater could be an excellent choice.

Maintenance Tips for Your Bradford Water Heater

To ensure your Bradford water heater continues to operate efficiently, regular maintenance is key:

Flush the Tank Regularly: Over time, sediment can build up in the tank of a water heater, which can reduce its efficiency and even shorten its lifespan. It’s recommended to flush your Bradford water heater at least once a year to remove any sediment.

Inspect the Anode Rod: The anode rod in a water heater helps prevent corrosion inside the tank. Checking this part regularly and replacing it if necessary can extend the life of your Bradford water heater.

Check the Temperature Settings: Setting your water heater’s thermostat too high can waste energy and increase your utility bills. Bradford recommends keeping your water heater set at 120°F (49°C) to ensure energy efficiency while providing sufficient hot water for household needs.

Annual Professional Inspection: Having a professional plumber inspect your water heater annually can help catch any potential issues before they become serious problems. An inspection will ensure that all components are functioning correctly and efficiently.

Final Thoughts

Investing in a Bradford water heater is a smart choice if you’re looking for a reliable, energy-efficient solution for your home or business. With various models to choose from, innovative features, and a strong reputation for durability, Bradford water heaters stand out in the competitive market. Whether you’re replacing an old unit or installing a new system, a Bradford water heater can provide the comfort and convenience of hot water for many years to come. Originally Published Here:-

Mind mapping is a powerful tool that can revolutionize the way students approach their studies, projects, and creative endeavors. By harnessing the power of visual thinking, mind maps can help students organize their ideas, enhance their understanding, and unlock their full potential.

Idea Generation and Brainstorming

One of the primary benefits of mind mapping is its ability to stimulate idea generation and creative thinking. 1 Students can use mind maps to explore a wide range of topics, uncover connections between different concepts, and generate innovative solutions to complex problems.

For example, a student interested in entrepreneurship might create a mind map to brainstorm business ideas, exploring different industries, target markets, and potential product or service offerings. 2 By starting with a central topic and branching out with associated ideas, students can discover unexpected connections and unlock new avenues for exploration.

Study Planning and Organization

Mind maps can also be invaluable tools for planning and organizing academic studies. Students can use mind maps to map out course content, identify key concepts, and establish connections between different topics. 3 This visual approach can help students better retain information, identify areas for further study, and develop more effective study strategies.

Consider a student preparing for an upcoming exam in biology. They might create a mind map that outlines the major systems of the human body, detailing the functions, organs, and key processes within each system. 4 By visualizing the interconnected nature of these concepts, the student can gain a deeper understanding of the subject matter and identify areas that require additional focus.

Project Planning and Collaboration

Mind maps can also be incredibly useful for planning and managing complex projects, both individually and in collaborative settings. Students can use mind maps to map out project timelines, assign tasks, and track progress, ensuring that they stay on top of their work and meet deadlines.

Imagine a group of students working on a team-based research project. They can create a shared mind map to brainstorm research topics, delegate responsibilities, and coordinate their efforts. 5 This visual approach can enhance communication, foster collaboration, and help the team stay organized and aligned throughout the project.

Personal Development and Goal-Setting

Beyond academic and professional applications, mind maps can also be powerful tools for personal development and goal-setting. Students can use mind maps to explore their passions, identify their strengths and weaknesses, and set actionable goals for personal growth and fulfillment.

For instance, a student might create a mind map to explore their career aspirations, mapping out their interests, skills, and potential career paths. By visualizing these elements, the student can gain a better understanding of their own motivations and priorities, and develop a clear roadmap for achieving their professional goals.

Integrating Mind Mapping into Your Workflow

To effectively incorporate mind mapping into your academic and personal life, it's important to experiment with different mind mapping techniques and find the approach that works best for you. Some students may prefer digital mind mapping tools, while others may thrive with traditional pen-and-paper methods.

Regardless of your preferred approach, the key is to make mind mapping a regular part of your routine. Whether you use it for brainstorming, study planning, or personal development, the consistent practice of mind mapping can help you unlock your full potential and achieve your goals.

Analyzing and Comparing Mind Mapping Examples

To further explore the power of mind mapping, let's analyze and compare some real-world examples from various sources.

Example 1: Mind Mapping for Article Ideas

In the article "How to Use Mind Maps for Article Ideas" by Alina Bradford, the author demonstrates how she uses mind mapping to generate article topics and ideas. 5 By starting with a central topic and branching out with associated concepts, she is able to uncover a wealth of potential article ideas.

This approach is particularly useful for students who may be struggling to come up with original ideas for essays, research papers, or other written assignments. By visualizing the connections between different ideas, students can discover unexpected angles and generate more engaging and unique content.

Example 2: Mind Mapping for Project Planning

The ClickUp blog post "25 Mind Map Examples - What is a Mind Map? Ideas & Tips" showcases how mind maps can be used for project planning and management. 2 One of the examples illustrates how a mind map can be used to outline the various tasks, deadlines, and responsibilities involved in a website development project.

This type of mind map can be incredibly valuable for students working on group projects or large-scale individual assignments. By mapping out the different components of the project, students can ensure that they stay on track, communicate effectively with team members, and deliver high-quality results.

Example 3: Mind Mapping for Study Organization

In the Edrawmind article "10+ Amazing Mind Map Examples for Students to Get Inspired," the authors provide several mind map examples focused on study organization and content mastery. 1 One of the examples demonstrates how a student might use a mind map to outline the key concepts and relationships in a biology course.

This approach to mind mapping can help students better understand complex subject matter, identify areas for further study, and develop more effective study strategies. By visually representing the connections between different ideas, students can improve their retention, comprehension, and overall academic performance.

By analyzing these diverse mind mapping examples, students can gain valuable insights into the practical applications of this powerful tool. Whether you're looking to boost your creativity, improve your study habits, or enhance your project management skills, mind mapping can be a transformative technique to incorporate into your academic and personal workflows.

Conclusion

In conclusion, mind mapping offers a multitude of benefits for students across various academic and personal domains. From idea generation and brainstorming to study planning and project management, this visual thinking tool can help you unlock your full potential and achieve your goals.

By exploring the mind map examples and techniques outlined in this article, you can begin to incorporate mind mapping into your own academic and personal workflows. Experiment with different approaches, find what works best for you, and commit to making mind mapping a regular part of your routine.

Remember, the key to unlocking the true power of mind mapping is consistent practice and a willingness to explore new ways of thinking and organizing information. So, grab a pen and paper (or a digital mind mapping tool) and start mapping your way to success today!

Boosting Business Growth: The Power of a Strong Website

In today’s digital landscape, a strong online presence is more than just an asset—it’s a necessity. Businesses of all sizes, from local startups to global enterprises, rely on their websites to connect with customers, showcase their offerings, and drive growth. For companies in competitive markets like Bradford, having an effective website is not just about looking good online; it’s about staying ahead of the competition. In this article, we’ll explore the crucial role a well-designed website plays in boosting business growth, with a special focus on web design Bradford.

The First Impression Matters

Your website is often the first point of contact between your business and potential customers. In an era where consumers are increasingly turning to online resources to make purchasing decisions, first impressions are critical. A poorly designed or outdated website can turn visitors away within seconds, while a sleek, professional design can draw them in and keep them engaged.

In Bradford’s bustling business environment, where industries range from retail to technology, your website must reflect the professionalism and quality of your brand. This is where expert web design comes into play. Companies like Five Rivers Design, known for their excellence in web design Bradford, understand the importance of creating websites that not only look good but also deliver a seamless user experience.

Enhancing User Experience

User experience (UX) is a cornerstone of effective web design. A website should be easy to navigate, visually appealing, and responsive across all devices. If visitors can’t find what they’re looking for quickly, they’re likely to leave and seek out a competitor. In contrast, a website that is intuitive and user-friendly will encourage visitors to stay longer, explore more, and ultimately convert into customers.

The power of a strong website lies in its ability to anticipate and meet the needs of its users. This includes fast load times, clear calls to action, and an overall design that guides users naturally through the site. In a competitive market like Bradford, where customer expectations are high, businesses can’t afford to overlook the importance of UX.

Building Trust and Credibility

Trust is a vital component of any business relationship. A well-designed website can significantly enhance a company’s credibility, making it easier to build trust with potential customers. On the other hand, a poorly constructed website can raise red flags, causing visitors to question the legitimacy of your business.

Bradford businesses that invest in high-quality web design demonstrate a commitment to professionalism and customer satisfaction. Features such as secure payment gateways, clear privacy policies, and easily accessible contact information contribute to a trustworthy online presence. When customers feel confident in a brand’s credibility, they are more likely to engage with the business, make a purchase, and return in the future.

Increasing Visibility with SEO

A strong website is not just about aesthetics; it’s also about being discoverable. Search engine optimization (SEO) plays a crucial role in driving organic traffic to your site. A well-optimized website ranks higher in search engine results, making it easier for potential customers to find your business.

In the competitive landscape of Bradford, businesses need to leverage SEO to stand out. Keywords like web design Bradford can help local businesses attract targeted traffic from customers who are specifically looking for their services. By optimizing your website for search engines, you can increase your visibility, attract more visitors, and ultimately drive more sales.

Facilitating Business Growth

A well-designed website is a powerful tool for business growth. It serves as a platform to showcase your products or services, engage with customers, and generate leads. Whether you’re a small business in Bradford looking to expand your local reach or a larger company aiming to grow your online presence, your website plays a crucial role in achieving your goals.

For example, an e-commerce website with a user-friendly interface and secure checkout process can significantly boost sales. Similarly, a service-based business with an informative and easy-to-navigate website can attract more inquiries and convert leads into clients. By investing in professional web design, businesses can create a strong online presence that drives growth and supports long-term success.

Leveraging Local Expertise

When it comes to building a strong website, local expertise can make all the difference. Companies that specialize in web design Bradford understand the unique challenges and opportunities of the local market. They can tailor their services to meet the specific needs of Bradford businesses, ensuring that your website not only looks great but also performs exceptionally well.

Working with a local web design company like Five Rivers Design offers several advantages. They are familiar with the local business environment, understand the preferences of Bradford consumers, and can provide ongoing support to ensure your website remains effective as your business grows.

Conclusion

In today’s digital age, a strong website is a critical asset for any business. It’s not just about having an online presence; it’s about creating a platform that drives growth, builds trust, and enhances visibility. For businesses in Bradford, investing in professional web design is a strategic move that can set you apart from the competition and pave the way for long-term success.

By partnering with experts in web design Bradford, you can create a website that not only reflects the quality of your brand but also delivers a superior user experience.

A comparative analysis of the tone of two forms of fashion writing

Julie Bradford describes the realm of fashion writing as 'two disciplines - writing (editorial) and styling (fashion)' (Bradford, 2014, p.2). Classic articles in the Vogue 'Fashion Trends' section boast attention grabbing lists or shorter pieces, designed to quickly engage readers with a succinct summary. These stylish stories usually include both descriptive text and digital imagery, to add to the playful - yet informative - tone. Usually found online, this only aids their marketable properties, due to the pace and methods at which people are accessing information today.

However, as an editorial magazine, Vogue's monthly print issue presents longer, throughly researched pieces on people of interest, successful brands or lifestyle related sections. The overall tone of editorial work speaks to the sincerity of the fashion industry: climate change, pioneering figures, product innovations (Vogue, 2024).

The aforementioned methods of fashion writing are both valued in journalism and mutually benefitted from by businesses and consumers.
