Book 7, Chapter 7, Episode 105

There's 20 seconds left before Ortho's time limit. He's not going to make it! But mama and papa Shroud haven't given up; they're deploying everything in their arsenal in order to retrieve Ortho at all costs. The scientists are panicking and are advising that their system will burn down if they crank it up further, but papa Shroud shouts that he doesn't give a damn. Do it! Whether it be 10 seconds, even 3 seconds-- it's enough. They just need to distract Malleus so he'd turn his attention to his domain itself rather than Ortho.

Papa Shroud: "Aim at the magic domain! ATTACK! ATTACK! ATTACK!!"

The earthquake was STYX assaulting Malleus' barrier! Now's Ortho's chance!

Ortho: "Magic thruster, full burst!"

Malleus: "... Wha--?!"

Go Ortho, go! Now papa Shroud orders to cease fire and focus on defense instead. Get ready for Malleus' counterattack!

... But...

"... ORTHO has reached its activity limit. System down. Unable to establish signal!"

Mom and dad are in disbelief. But then they get a call from one of their deployed teams. They've retrieved Ortho at sea! They discover that his body was destroyed, but his core is unharmed. He's also managed to bring all the anchors with him.

Mama and papa shroud collapse in relief. Omfg, they're so lovely...

Mama Shroud: "Really... Even if I were to have multiple hearts, they will never be enough..."

Papa Shroud: "What a coincidence, mama... I think the same..."

"... Tch. Clever little humans."

"No matter. How ever many times they turn up, uninvited guests will always be turned away."

"Again and again, no matter how many times..."

it's such a quick subtle moment, but I really appreciated the teamwork of grog having percy land on him in their fall (+supporting him w his fist!) so he wouldn't have to slow down in his chase for ripley

A lot of you underestimate how prevalent British bias is not only in F1 but across sports generally, and even in other industries.

Max saying he has the wrong passport in the paddock is an accurate statement. Do you think he, Seb, or Michael would've been half as vilified by the British media if they had a British passport instead? Would Fernando? Do you think Yuki would get half as much shit about his radio "conduct" if he was British? Because it's the British commentators who consistently have issues with it, and say shit like it's "unbecoming" for a driver to speak that way, ignoring that 1 it's not his first language and 2 IT WAS ENGLISH PEOPLE HE LEARNT THAT LANGUAGE FROM. Sometimes people misspeak, but Yuki has always taken accountability and apologised if he has and if he caused harm. Martin Brundle did not get nearly as much backlash from the media when he misspoke and called an Asian driver a slur while commentating. He also never apologised for it.

Alex, one of the four Brits on the grid but who drives under the Thai flag, has said that the commentators only call him British born when he does well. He was completely excluded from the Silverstone publicity about the home crowd heroes, whereas George, Lewis & Lando were heralded, not only on race weekend, but for weeks leading up to it.

Alex's statement also reminded me of this Richard Harris quote, "When I'm in trouble, I'm an Irishman. When I turn in a good performance, I'm an Englishman." Genuinely, if I took a shot every time a British organisation/person claimed a talented Irish person was actually a Brit, I'd have died from alcohol poisoning years ago.

Hell, I see George wearing the poppy pin this weekend in the lead up to remembrance Sunday. Do you know the amount of shit James McClean gets every year because he refuses to wear one? And he has very valid reasons for choosing not to wear it, yet he's torn to shreds every year by not only random people on the Internet or on the streets but by commentators and the media too.

Because of how this sport became mainstream and because no one challenged Bernie Eccleston's monopoly on broadcasting rights back in the day (people were given the opportunity to buy a share of the broadcasting rights; the idiots said no), this sport has prioritised the British voice/perspective for decades. I know the other broadcasts are just as biased for their home team/drivers, but the British one is the biggest one, as it's the main broadcast for better and more often for the worst. It's the broadcast with the most reach and influence. Their bias has to be challenged eventually if this sport ever hopes to properly expand and grow. The British bias is so difficult to miss once you start noticing it.
