ANSJS ANOTHER EDIT I MADE-

[mrsparrasblog]

I wont pay for your therapy after this🥲

Mrs. MacTavish

Scotland—Johnny's birthplace and the place where he would be laid down permanently. The three men closest to him, the men who saw him die, stood together with his ashes in their hands. It felt surreal for them; of course, they knew something like this could happen. They had all lost a great deal of friends, but this was different. This task force should have been invincible, they should have been better—too good to be killed. But here they were, only three of them.

"Who dares wins. Sleep easy, soldier."

"See you down range, brother. We take it from here."

"Rest in peace, Johnny."

The men spread his ashes; he was finally where he felt at home, at least that's what his friends, his brothers in duty, thought.

They sat together in a rundown pub, unsure how to grieve or how to throw a worthy wake. Price said he didn't have any family left, so they were all he had, and they still failed him.

An order of his favorite whiskey stood on the table they usually occupied.

"He'd love that, he loved this place," Gaz said, trying to reassure his brothers. He now needed to be the glue of the group, the job Soap had before.

"One time, he hit an officer when he was still a rookie. The officer touched a female civilian, and Soap knocked him out. He almost got kicked out of the military, but he didn't press charges—too embarrassing," Price said, earning a slight chuckle from Gaz. Ghost stayed still; he was frozen since the death of his best friend.

"He almost beat my record at the SAS. Made me proud when I saw him in the recruitment," Gaz told them.

"He was the best," Ghost said. His voice sounded monotone; if he didn't have this thick British accent, he would have sounded like a robot.

"He tried to enlist in the SAS several times at 16, lying about his age each time," Price chuckled at the thought of his best trainee.

"He was more than his accomplishments." The other two men looked confused at Ghost; they weren't as close, he knew him better than them.

"Of course, he was, son."

"He had a journal, always drawing each of us, calling us his family. But now, he is dead. We failed him," Ghost said, bringing Gaz and Price down from their attempts to cheer him up and to appreciate Soap's life accomplishments. But he was dead, and nothing would ever change that.

After a while of drinking without speaking a word, Laswell came in, looking at the group of guys sitting down next to them. "Holding a wake for him?" she asked, nipping at the shared whiskey.

"Spread his ashes," Ghost replied shortly.

"You did what?" Her voice was loud; they could see the look of panic on her face.

"What's wrong, Kate? He would love resting in the Highlands."

"Please tell me, John, you didn't spread the whole ash."

"Kate, what's wrong?" Price asked, and she only sighed.

"I'm torn between granting the wishes of a deceased person and betraying his wishes at the same time," Laswell said. The inner conflict was visible in the wrinkles around her eyes.

"Laswell, spit it out!" Ghost shouted at her, the normally calm soldier completely losing control of his emotions.

"His last wish was that someone specific get his body in case of his early demise."

"Bullshit, he had no family left," Gaz replied, confused. His brother wouldn't lie to him about his family.

"Who is this person?" Ghost asked, his expression full of hurt. He wasn't mad like Kyle about the possibility that Johnny lied to them; Johnny was always smarter than the rest of them. He couldn't entertain the possibility that one of his brothers or whoever this person was would die because of his enemies.

"Mrs. MacTavish," Kate muttered under her breath. She promised him before joining the task force that she wouldn't, under any circumstances, tell anyone about her.

"Like his mother?" Kyle asked, and Kate only shook her head.

"He was married?"

"For ten years," Kate sighed.

"I will personally tell her and apologize," Price said. He knew this was the least he could do for him.

"I will tell her," Ghost thought. He needed to do this for his best friend, especially making sure that whoever she was, she would never be found by Makarov and could live a safe civilian life.

"Count me in, Captain," Gaz said, determined to apologize to Soap's wife. Maybe if he had been better, faster, Makarov wouldn't have gotten Soap.

These three men were as different as they could have been; the only thing about them that all of them shared was the guilt.

A few days later

The last days were harder than usual for you; the pregnancy took a toll on you. The worst part was not hearing anything from your beloved Johnny for a long time. You were used to not hearing from him; you knew what you were getting into when you decided to marry him. But you never even thought about making him retire. You loved him since high school. How couldn't you? He was a charmer. He had been in love with you since you both were 6, starting elementary school.

He asked you at least every week if you wanted to marry him when you grew older. You always declined his advances. You were sure that you even hit him once for staring too long at you. He looked like an arrogant ass who could have anyone he wanted, but somehow, he never, not even for a second in his life, thought about another woman. So after some years, you decided to give him a chance, and you never regretted this decision once in your life.

The bell rang, and you were sure it must have been one of the neighbors asking if they could have milk or eggs from the farm. But before you could gather your pregnant body up, your six-year-old son ran up, opening the door. "Maybe it's Dad, Mommy!"

"James William MacTavish, how often did I tell you not to open the door?"

Your son was a spitting image of your Johnny. It got worse when he decided that he needed to cut himself a mohawk to look like his dad. You were so happy to see Johnny's reaction to the mohawk when he came back.

At the door stood three muscular, tall guys looking down at the little boy. As Kyle saw the spitting image of Johnny, he walked to the nearest trash can and threw up. It was too much for him. The thought of a wife was bad enough, but a son too.

You walked down and gathered your son who hugged your thigh. You looked at the men; one of them was a bit older with a funny beard, and the other one was blonde with a scared face.

When Price saw the visible baby bump, his heart broke. The thought of you not only having a son but also being pregnant gave him the rest; his guilt was eating him out.

"Mrs. MacTavish?"

"Yes?" you asked in confusion. They didn't seem like the villagers who wanted to buy something from the farm, nor the parents of your students.

"We need to talk about your husband."

"No," you knew what this meant; you knew it in your gut.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. MacTavish, but your husband died while protecting his country."

You always thought these films were dramatic, but it was nothing compared to what you felt right now. The pain was indescribable; you felt like someone pulled your ground from you, and you fell, completely in shock. Your tears slowly started to roll down, and you saw how the older man held the blonde one back from reaching out to you.

"No, my Johnny, he said he would always come back. He will come back, he will come back to us, he always will," you sobbed uncontrollably.

"I'm sorry, Ma'am."

From behind, Aiofe and Maeve ran down, our oldest, the twins. "Mom, are you okay?" All your three children sat down next to you, afraid that something happened to their mom.

That was the final straw as Ghost saw even more children, his best friend left behind a wife, three children, and a little one on the way. It should have been him.

You sobbed as you spoke to your children, "It's okay, Simon is just kicking hard in my belly, nothing is wrong with Mommy. I love you."

"We love you too, Mommy."

SDF Macross

超時空要塞マクロス

(Anime)

Mecha romance musical by Shoji Kawamori

Era: Early 80s

Rating: S

Plot: In the late 90s, a giant spacecraft of unknown origin falls on an island, leading to the creation of the UN Spacy, to both protect earth from a possible alien invasion and to rebuild the spacecraft. 10 years after, the SDF-1 Macross is ready to be launched, and in attendance are Hikaru Ichijyo, a young stunt pilot at the invitation of friend Roy Focker, Lynn Minmay, a waitress in a Chinese restaurant in the city that grew around the Macross during the rebuild process and Misa Hayase, a first lieutenant working on the bridge of the Macross. However, during launch the solar system is invaded by the Zentradi, who identify the Macross as a ship of their former enemies.

Length: 36 episodes + 1 film + 1 OVA

Thoughts: And here's one of the big ones. Hard what may have come to the heads of two Gundam fans to think "what this needs is jet fighters with legs and singing", but I'm guessing saying "we can sell a lot of toys and soundtracks" at a meeting was probably it. How they *convinced* them it could work is another issue, but oh boy, does it work. It pretty much defined what the series would be known for in the following iterations - the variable fighters, an aspiring music star with a connection to protoculture (after all, what is music but an universal language) involved in a love triangle and the tensions between the civilian side of the Macross and it's military leadership in what's often terrifying life-or-death situations.

The weakest point of the story is probably the love triangle itself, making it where all vertices are very wishy washy about their feelings is just messy. Extending the story to the aftermath of the conflict also didn't seem such a good bet for this show (would payoff in terms of exploring the role of the Zentradi in the post-war) and probably would be better served focusing on different characters. Animation varies a lot (unsurprising for a show that may have had more than a handful of studios involved in, including very young Gainax), but the action scenes are pretty thrilling and you can still feel the impact they had on the medium as an whole, if only for the "this machine transforms into another machine" thing. Wonder if that picked up.

Might do a DYRL post separately, but in brief it's a condensed version of the story with some changes (Hikaru is already a rookie pilot and Minmay a up and coming star) and outstanding production values and maybe *the* defining song of the franchise that gives the movie it's title. Flashback 2012, which serves as the epilogue to the story, is a video album featuring Minmei's songs over footage from both series and movie and new sequences planned but not directed showing her final gig at earth, as she boards the Megaroad (captained by Misa), humanity's first colony spaceship. I don't think it replaces the series (for instance, it compresses the Jenius - Fallyna relationship to a bare minimum, and their kids appear all over the place over the rest of the franchise) but it allows you to get to the basics of the story.

Recommended to: fans of big robots and idols

Plus:

The variable fighter design by Mikimoto is one of those for the ages.

While animation can be a bit spotty, combat is generally on point. Ah ah missiles go brrrrrrrrr

Asking the important question, can singing save the world, which feels very 80s

Unsurprisingly, the music. Iijima is great as Minmei and this role as a virtual idol launched her career and is what best remembered from the show, but Kentaro Haneda's work on incidental music is incredible as well.

Inconsistencies between the TV series and DYRL being attributed in-universe on it being a war film? That works.

Minus:

Other than the infamous baby tossing scene, the added 9 episodes feel like a complete afterthought and feel the only reason to reignite a love triangle is to change it's shape.

Said triangle narratively is a complete mess.

Some bits of animation were very, VERY rushed.

[agent-calivide]

🥪 Tell us any random headcanon/s you have!

Oh so many- here’s some that don’t come up as much as others

Juniper sleep walks. He doesn’t take care of himself when working on a passion project, so he’s auto-piloted through a lot of set production things while half asleep. Because of this, he sleep walks a TON when he’s not working on a film.

Fabricator got a hysterectomy because she didn’t like how much time menstruating took from her projects and Zoraxis has decent medical coverage for their evil workers.

Phoenix’s eyes glow blue from their TK implant, but after KBOOM whenever they get too angry their eyes turn destabilized Kinesium purple from the blood rush. It’s harmless, but disconcerting

Anna Ulanova listens to the Agency radio with a special Zoraxis radio so she can keep up with what Phoenix is up to. Sometimes she sits up at night wondering what could have been if she convinced them to run with her

Prism shifted from the robots being made to bartend to making them to be agents because Reginald almost got fridged

Phoenix has at least three graves in different locations because they’ve had to literally bury their past that many times

Daniel Sans respects Zor way more than Zor respects him. While he’s high ranking and respected in Zoraxis, Zor holds him at an arm’s length, and that drives Sans insane

Phoenix is touch aversed. They feel really uncomfortable when someone pats them on the back or grabs their arm or pulls them into a hug. They only are comfortable with Reginald and their lover touching them, but even then they have to initiate

Dr X-Ray was supposed to defect with Anna, but he was caught having communications with the EOD and refused to rat out Ulanova, hence why he was killed in Seat of Power.

Phoenix hates outer space. They didn’t really like it before the Death Engine, but after it they now feel shaky and anxious so much as watching a space documentary. They do, however, love the ocean, which feels backwards considering how much more stressful Deep Dive was.

Reginald keeps the photo of him, Morales, Prism, and Vitti in his desk. Not on it, in it. The memories are too painful for him to have a constant reminder of, but whenever he’s feeling gloomy he’ll look at it and make himself feel worse.

Juniper is infatuated with Phoenix because they’re the first person to not give him what he wants with a little pressure. He is so used to being able to get what he wants with a little screaming, maybe even a threat, that when Phoenix doesn’t fold it makes him both fascinated and infuriated

Phoenix is a total tech bug, but they don’t really understand how it works. They think computers are SO cool and geek out whenever they get to fuck around with a fancy Zoraxis device. They actually idolized Prism, but their perception of her was greatly shaken by the whole KBOOM thing

There are multiple mini-sectors within the EOD, infiltration, covert, and instigation. Infiltration is flirting and schmoozing your way into enemy territory with disguises and fake names, this is where my pilot OC Jocie served before becoming a pilot for peace of mind. Covert is sneaking in through vents and shadows, keeping your head low and leaving without a trace, this is where Vitti resides and where Phoenix started. Instigation is going in, guns blazing, and burning Zoraxis inventions and establishments to the ground. This is where Phoenix resides as of late, though they waffle back and forth as the mission needs. These extra sectors are not a literal alternate division, it’s just a tab kept on agents’ records to help assign the most fitting agent for the mission

This one kinda sucks- Cw for misogyny- but the EOD is a boy’s club, it was very. Very hard for Prism and Vitti to get as high as they did. It was only with Morales’ support that they got a shot to prove themselves, and (Seraphina) Phoenix was much the same. During Phoenix’s training, they struggled a lot with their teachers and fellow rookies valuing their accomplishments less because of how she presented herself. There was an expectation that they’d be someone who specialized in infiltration because of their appearance, and that did not fly at all.

The reason Reginald was assigned Phoenix was he knew some terrifying, kick-ass women who greatly impacted his life, and thus would be less likely to partake in “boy’s club” activities. Because of this, Reginald has a certain disdain for many other Handlers, as he thinks it’s absurd to value an agent less because of something as frivolous as their gender. Really, the mortality rates are the same, it’s simply ridiculous.

This is also why Zoraxis is as popular as it is, they don’t hold such bias. They only care if you get the job done well and efficiently, it does not matter if you’re male, female, genderqueer, can you kill? Can you hide a body? Brilliant, welcome to the crew, what would you like your ominous name to be?

Some fun, some sad, some me projecting because god it’s annoying being Fem presenting- but yeah! Headcanons!

TV Guide  -  November 2 - 8, 1963

Wilfred Bailey Everett Bixby III (January 22, 1934 – November 21, 1993) professionally known as Bill Bixby, Film and television actor, director, producer, and frequent game-show panellist.

Bixby's career spanned more than three decades, including appearances on stage, in films, and on television series. He is known for his roles in the CBS sitcom My Favorite Martian as Tim O'Hara, in the ABC sitcom The Courtship of Eddie's Father as Tom Corbett, in the NBC crime drama series The Magician as stage Illusionist Anthony Blake, and the CBS science-fiction drama series The Incredible Hulk as Dr. David Banner.  He also worked with Mariette Hartley in his final series, Goodnight, Beantown,  (Wikipedia)

Herman Raymond Walston (November 2, 1914 – January 1, 2001) was an American actor and comedian, well known as the title character on My Favorite Martian. His other major film, television, and stage roles included Luther Billis (South Pacific), Mr. Applegate (Damn Yankees), Orville J. Spooner (Kiss Me, Stupid), J. J. Singleton (The Sting), Poopdeck Pappy (Popeye), Mr. Hand (Fast Times at Ridgemont High), Candy (Of Mice and Men), Glen Bateman (The Stand), and Judge Henry Bone (Picket Fences).

The success of My Favorite Martian typecast Walston and he had difficulty finding serious roles after the show's cancellation. He returned to character actor status in the 1970s and 1980s, and guest starred in such series as Custer, The Wild Wild West, Love, American Style, The Rookies, Mission: Impossible, Ellery Queen, The Six Million Dollar Man, Little House on the Prairie, and The Incredible Hulk, again with Bixby, in which Walston played Jasper the Magician in an episode called "My Favorite Magician".

In 1984, Walston played a judge on an episode of Night Court. Six years later, he made a guest appearance on an episode of L.A. Law. He later was hired for the role of Judge Henry Bone on Picket Fences; the character was originally a recurring role, but Walston proved to be so popular the character was later upgraded to a starring role.

He appeared in Star Trek: The Next Generation as Boothby, head groundskeeper at Starfleet Academy in San Francisco, and reprised the role twice on Star Trek: Voyager.

In 1988, he guest starred in an episode of the popular horror-fantasy show Friday the 13th: the Series, as a bitter, elderly comic-book artist who uses a demonically cursed comic book to transform himself into a killer robot and murder his erstwhile enemies. 

Walston received three Emmy Award nominations for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his work on Picket Fences, winning twice, in 1995 and 1996. CBS cancelled the show after four seasons in 1996. Walston made a guest appearance in an episode of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman entitled "Remember Me", in which he portrayed the father of Jake Slicker, who was stricken with Alzheimer's disease.

Walston played Grandfather Walter Addams in Addams Family Reunion (1998).  He appeared in the Touched by an Angel episode, "The Face on the Barroom Floor", which aired on October 15, 2000.

Walston made a cameo in the 7th Heaven episode, "One Hundred", which aired on January 29, 2001, four weeks after his death. (Wikipedia)

Random facts/hcs

I'm super bored and in a brain dumping mood, so take some facts about my AU

-Each planet has something different about it/it's inhabitants that makes it different from each other

-Ohri is a Australian based planet. Hot, has a lot of bush land, scattered rivers and dams that often dry up in the hotter months (self projection cause I like adding Australia into my AUs in one way or another cause I'm an Aussie myself and we need more Australian rep)

-Ohri had an ancient civilization that most Ohrians are related to. The only time they wouldn't be is if they migrated from other planets. Yonny and Dingo are related to said ancient civilization

-Ohrians tend to be darker skinned/tanned due to the heat. Dingo is a different case because his father is from a different planet. His mother however is from Ohri. Both of Yonny's parents are from Ohri

-Nijo is the wealthiest of the planets, this makes a lot of Nijoians have expensive tastes, be quite rich and in some cases be snobby. Not all Nijoians are snobby however

-Because Nijo is a wealthy planet, not many people can afford to live there so it's one of the least populated planets

-Nijo also has one of the largest music industries, many Nijoians are musically gifted, are interested in music or are naturals when dancing

-Giya is one of the many agricultural planets. Giya focuses more on the meat industry making it the primary source for livestock

-Collin, Shepherd and Russ have prominent canines due to being more carnivorous, they're also decently wealthy, being able to afford things like Golden PikPik Carrots from Hocotate

-Both Dingo and Yonny have Aussie accents, Dingo's is more heavy. Yonny will only really use the accent if he's annoyed or pissed off

-Yonny is Trans :DD and performed his own top surgery, along with many other surgeries

-Dingo has some anger issues and self esteem issues. He tries to cover his low self esteem by being egotistical but he has a fragile ego-

-Yonny, while being able to be pretty tolerable to most things, can be quite easily ticked off. This makes him also have anger issues, he's just able to control it better than Dingo

-Collin and Shepherd have known each other since they were 5. They picked Russ up when they were around 13

-Collin used to be quite short compared to his peers, this made him a victim of bullying or ridicule. Shepherd stood up for him however

-Collin dropped out of school because of the bullying when he was 16. In the time of his teenage years to adulthood, he shot up in height, making him one of the tallest Giyians

-Like Bernard, Collin job hopped. One of the jobs he did was a job as a bouncer. He can be quite serious when needed and intimidating due to his height. Because of his time as a bouncer, he picked up on some helpful self defence

-Shepherd has been training space dogs since she was 6. She's very knowledgeable in the topic and a very good trainer

-Shepherd has autism :DD She doesn't pick up on social cues often, needs things carefully explained to her and hyperfixates on subjects, primarily space dog care

-Pom is the rookie trainer. She teaches newbies and is very athletic. She, like Shepherd, is a great trainer. She also has high stamina (ik I haven't shown/talked much about Pom in the main AU so I'll get onto that)

-Russ, like in canon, is a Mama's Boy. Loves his mother to death and often sends her gifts when he comes back from missions since he likes collecting trinkets he finds

-Russ has a heart condition that if his heart rate is suddenly increased to a high point, he could die within 10 minutes. When he has an adrenaline rush, he can get stabbing pains, the higher the adrenaline, the more intense the pain

-Russ also has prosthetics. A robotic arm and a robotic leg, along with a monitor to help his heart condition. He does have burn scars from the accident and is quite self conscious about them, best not to bring them up

-Bernard has very expensive tastes, so much so that he will only really eat exotic crops/animals. Unless he really needs to, you wouldn't catch him eating cheap foods

-Bernard's pretty laid back and often has a lazy feel to him but when he focuses, he focuses. You bother him while he's flying for instance, he'll get pissed. He's also a pretty forgiving person, the only person he hasn't forgiven is Dingo

-Bernard holds grudges tightly when he gets them, even though they're extremely rare. He won't let it go until he gets his revenge on whoever made him angry

-Bernard smokes, quiet a bit. He usually smokes 2-3 times a day. He says it helps calm his nerves. Yonny has warned him and told him he should cut down on the smoking, Bernard loosely listens to him though. He didn't, however, smoke once while recovering from the early stages of leaflifcation (since Yonny had threatened him-)

Giving RWBY characters digimon partners part 1: Ruby and Weiss

if your wondering why I'm doing this, I am hyper fixating on digimon RN and i just really like crossovers

Ruby Rose

ROOKIE/CHILD STAGE: shoutmon

So i went with Shoutmon because it's red digimon that's been used by the main character of a digimon series before and it leads well into the evos i want, but i imagine him and Ruby having a fun dynamic, with shoutmon being hot blooded and kinda egotistical and Ruby having to rain him in a bit.

also shoutmon is associated with music and listening to music is the first thing we see Ruby doing the show proper.

(honorable mentions Guilmon, Agumon, Hackmon/Huckmon, Agumon Black 2006)

CHAMPION/ADULT STAGE: GROWMON

i chose him because it's a big red dino dragon, but i also like the juxtaposition between the digital hazard and the sliver eyes, one being this holy gift from the gods the other being a unstable power of destruction.

(honorable mentions Black Growmon, Red Vdramon, Tyranomon)

ULTIMATE/PERFECT STAGE: WARGROWMON/MEGALOGROWMON

bigger growmon with blades and guns, two thing Ruby loves, it leads well into the megas/ultimates, moving on.

(honorable mentions Metal Fantomon, Metal Tyranomon)

MEGA/ULTIMATE STAGE NO.1: CHAOSDRAMON

so here we have a giant red death robot, that has several weapons, is constantly upgrading itself (just like Ruby upgrading crescent rose) and uses guns to maneuver itself in the air just like Ruby. it even has skull kneepads for the edgyness factor, it's perfect!

MEGA/ULTIMATE STAGE NO.2: BLITZGREYMON

yeah I'm giving all the MC's split megas, why because it's common among digi-destined and felt like it. but look at this guy, blood red, made out of guns, he also moves around in the air using his back guns and said back gun look like draconic crescent roses. another perfect mega.

(honorable mentions Rosemon, Dukemon, medieval Dukemon, Rust Tyranomon, Bryweludramon)

Weiss schnee

ROOKIE/CHILD STAGE: HACKMON/HUCKMON

yes i gave the digimon with a literal red hooded cape to someone who isn't Ruby, but this meant to be reference to Nicholas Schee's red cape, and as Weiss aspires to be like her grampa, hackmon aspires to be one of the royal knights, and both the royal knights and Nicholas can morally dubious to say the least. Also both him and Weiss were trained from birth for combat. i see hackmon acting like a armored talking dog and Weiss loving her for it.

And with hackmon kinda looking and kinda acting like Ruby and shoutmon acting like a more cartoonish Weiss, and both Weiss and shoutmon being singers, Ruby and Weiss when they first meet wonder "did our partners get accidentally switched at some point? did something happen?"

(honorable mentions Spadamon, Blucomon, Gammamon)

CHAMPION/ADULT STAGE: BAO HACKMON

just the next stage of hackmon, i forgot to mention that her name hackmon, and we know Weiss has some hacking skills because of the DC movie, so that's worth bringing up i guess

(honorably mentions: Paledramon, Betel Gammamon)

ULTIMATE/PERFECT STAGE: SAVIORHACKMON

yep just the next stage of hackmon... the gem on her chest can represent Dust i guess

(honorable mentions: canoweissmon, Crys Paledramon )

MEGA/ULTIMATE STAGE NO.1: JES-MON

hackmon's final form, a knight just like Weiss's main summon, who has her own summons (their names are Atho, René and Por BTW) and she literally walks around on circular glyphs.

Weiss also has a lot of angelic imagery associated with her (i will leave my opinion on said imagery out of this post) and JESmon is kinda sorta... literally based on Jesus, yes digimon Jesus is very pointy dragon knight who has familiars named after the 3 musketeers... god i fucking LOVE digimon

MEGA/ULTIMATE STAGE NO.2: CRESGARURUMON

if Ruby has a Greymon, Weiss must have a Garurumon, this does feel like a natural evo for savior Hackmon, with cape splitting in half and the gem changing color, and Weiss does love dogs, but we both know the real reason i gave her this digimon...

(honorable mentions: Durandamon, Armaon, Siriusmon, Hexablaumon)

JOGRESS: OMNIMON ALTER S/ OMEGAMON ALTER S

it's the main character and her lancer, you kinda have to give them an Omnimon, and this is the best Omnimon! this also makes up for cres Garurumon being gold by having the entire main body be white.

also jogress digievolution in some continuities involves the tamers hearts beating as one... whiterose shippers take as will.

(honorable mentions: Ragnalordmon)

I'm doing Blake and Yang next... bye

This crossover is canon now right?

Nothing will disappoint me less than if, in mid-April 2024, The Rookie doesn’t produce an episode in which two middleaged women steal a police car from the Mid-Wilshire Station, go on a wild joyride through LA, and disappear in a mysterious flash of light right when they get cornered. I demand this Easter Egg storyline that Star Trek has teased me with! I mean, c’mon:

Jack + Matty’s Plan (whatever it was)

Mac might be our titular hero but Jack is absolutely the glue that binds so many of the relationships in the show together. And Jack and Matty is s really interesting one. Jack was so alarmed when he found out Matty was replacing Thornton, because of… whatever happened between Jack and Matty in the CIA. And aside from the assless chaps cold open (for which I would like to send the scriptwriters my deep and everlasting appreciation), we can only guess what all went on back then. 

Jack was plenty quick to turn Thornton in even though he and Mac spent years working close with her, including in the field. He refused to believe in Nikki’s innocence, and he and Mac were even closer with Nikki. But Matty? Jack’s trust for Matty is on a whole other level, right up there with his trust in Mac. 

I love this little scene in 2x17 where the team debates why Matty tried to lie to Mac about knowing his dad and if they can still trust her:

Mac: I can’t just ignore this. She already lied to me once.

Bozer: She can’t hide this. Jack found actual proof she was investigating your Dad.

Mac: No. We found proof Matty was compiling a dossier. We have no idea what was in the actual report.

(interrupted by Riley’s arrival but then…)

Riley: I swept through every government server and I found nothing. Either that report on your Dad is so top secret no one has access to it, or it simply doesn’t exist anymore.

Headcanon

Given a small amount of information about what James MacGyver has been up to for 15 years in regards to Mac, Murdoc would kill him for free. He would do it because it would fall under his “free human trash removal” policy, and he’d hope it would hurt the Phoenix. And also because, unlike the rest of the characters who ought to be trying harder to separate Mac from James, Murdoc wouldn’t mind if Mac’s upset over his trash father’s death, because you know, sometimes the things that are good for you are not things you enjoy, like going to bed on time or eating more vegetables. 

Just imagine if Matty had quietly slipped Murdoc just the right info around 3x3...

Ok so we’re almost on to the next rewatch episode and before we get there....  I must confess that I LOVE 2x13 for all the Jack parts. Like everything with Jack in this episode is gold. I mean, the robot apocalypse is fun, there are some really great Mac lines, and I love that Bozer’s out there having his back for once. But I love, love, love Jack’s high school reunion. I love the hilarious, over-the-top awkwardness of the whole thing. I love it because it’s like any high school reunion. Like literally, trust me here, if you’ve never been to a high school reunion? This vibe is SO accurate. 

High school reunions are a weird mind game. You’re suddenly stuffed in a room with people whose opinions deeply mattered to you when you were ~17 years old. And so what if you haven’t given those people one second’s thought in 9.5 years? (or maybe 24.5, if you’re Jack!) It doesn’t matter how long it’s been or if you’re never going to see those people again, you’re probably also going to have that sudden, desperate need to prove you didn’t turn out to be some kind of loser.

But of course Jack’s reunion is like any awkward high school reunion x100, because of course Jack has to stick with the whole “bathroom tile salesman” cover story. Matty made sure to remind us all about it right at the start of the story so we can foresee Jack’s troubles coming from miles away.

My #1 post of 2022

While I’m still talking about 2x13 I also love the scene at the end where Jack tracks down Korman. Because here’s Jack, taking on some unknown number of potentially dangerous badguys all by himself, like the badass CIA agent he used to be.

Bionux project

Tw- gore, blood, exposed bone, death, and horror

Date-27.8.201X (August 27th, 201X)

The goal of this project is to create a living oranisim that is more than just flesh. The organisims will be able to regrow all parts of its body that humans cannot, and are able to survive with much less resources and what would normally be fatal injuries to a human. The organisims will live to beyond the age of one hundred or more. They will grow in strength and size for longer and more than humans, for when usually humans stop growing after or around adulthood.

The project is to be hidden and will be funded by a gonvernment agency roughly fifty feet underground and its surface entrances will be gaurded and fenced off.

This is known as “Project: Bionux”, and for 39 years bit by bit progress has been made, and now we finnaly have sucsess.

..................................................................................

Date-19.04.202X (April 19th, 202X)

After work hours, There was a call for a full site evacuation and lockdown. A team of lab gaurds made the following report of the situation:

“||[[[redacted]]]|| had already called for the lockdown before we could get in and seperate them, but they let us know that it wasn’t safe to enter and we called for backup. Emegency code B9-2”

. . .

Live_recording-28.04.202X

mission_code:bionux-recovery-attempt

Current: a backup team of three is heading down elevator shaft to the underground laboratory on floor B4

The backup team was not previously involved with the labrotories and did not have proper information regarding the project

.

.

.

#One-"This is so strange, they barely told us what to do down here."

#Three-"What’d they tell you?"

#Two-"I couldn't get much out of most of them, there was one that told me very briefly that they were testing robotics and biology?"

#Three-"Maybe prosthetics that stay attached to amputees?"

#Two-"Maybe, it sounds cool but the whole 'you can't take it off' kinda scares me, like what if it goes haywire and hurts you?"

#One-"Actually, what if that’s what happened?"

#Three-"wait really?"

#One-"This is just speculation but, there was a murmur about a virus, maybe something wrong got installed, mabye a sabotage from someone, but I think it made the prosthetics go wrong and they couldn't fix it"

#Two-"then why were some of them crying?"

#One-"Maybe it was just scary, a reponse to fear?”

#Three -"Can’t blame them, I'd be terrified honestly, I've always been scared of robots taking over or something"

#One -"That crap's fiction, I doubt robots would be able to do that, most of the robots today can't even run"

#Two - "What if they fly instead?"

[A breif silence was shared]

#Three - "I hope robots are actually nice instead, yknow? Maybe it's not all evil.

#Two - "Yea I'd love a robot friend, that'd be si-"

#One -"Hey, we're almost at the bottom, focus"

[ The team stands silent as the elevator shaft come to a shakey stop, #One leads the group out of the brightly lit elevator and into the dark laboratory. It is without power and is pitch black, the team activates a headlight on each of their helmets

They all see that the elevator drops down in the middle of the lab from a pillar-like elevator shaft rather then coming out from the wall]

#Two -"I have a question"

#One -"What..?" [Somewhat aggravated]

#Two -"If we're just here to grab a few things like computer software or hardware and leave, then why'd they give us full gear. Why us? we're higher ranked special forces, why not just send some basic rookies to do the cleanup?"

#One -"Maybe the technology they have down here is supposed to be secret"

#Two -"Then why the gear?"

[ #One pauses ]

#One -"Maybe some of the prosthetics are still active and we might get hurt?"

#Two- "But, the power's out...?"

[ there was another pause as they walked through the laboratory ]

#One -"I guess, batterys?"

#Two -”Could be..”

#Three -"What's... actually down here?"

#One -"For now we just focus on the task at hand, okay?"

[ #Two and #Three nod in agreement ]

#One -"We’ll stay in the same room but look in different areas, don’t leave the room until the rest of us are coming, got that?"

[ #Two and #Three confirm with yes ]

[ From body cam of #One:

The floor is a smooth concrete and the walls are painted white with two horizontal blue stripes running along them, there's several stations for labwork and computers

This room is empty of anything worth grabbing]

#One-"Hey [#Two], hand me the map they gave us of this place"

[#Two puts down a empty vial and shuffles over to #One as they rummage through thier belt compartments]

#Two-"Here you go"

#One-"Thanks”

[ #One examines the map for a few seconds before handing it back ]

#One-"Alright follow me, I think I have an idea where to find what they want"

#Three-"So uh, what… are they looking for?"

#One-"You weren't told?

#Two-"Haha, I wasn't either"

#One-"God this mission is a mess... we're looking for a tablet screen of some sort, they said it might be attached to something directly and we might have to carry whatever it's attached to back up"

#Two-"God I hope it's not some heavy machine"

#One-" Let's hope for the best but prepare for the worst"

[The team slowly makes their way around the laboratory, making sure they’re always nearby one another.]

#Three-"Hey, what's that?"

[They all pause to look, there's something glimmering in the distance on the floor, reflecting the light from thier headlights

They approach it somewhat cautiously

It's clearly blood, sometimes small drops, but mainly strange looking bare footprints painted with blood. It trails off elsewhere to a seperate hallway]

#Two-"Didn't they say there were no casualties? Like no physical injury?"

#Three-"Yea, everyone got out of there without a scratch on them"

#One-"Then who left the trail?"

#Three-"Should we follow it?"

[ All were on edge now ]

#One-"We have to."

#Two-"But the mission was to get in and get o-"

#One-"I don't care! I'm following the trail, what if someone didn’t get out in time and nobody noticed?"

[#One leaves the team and begins following the trail of blood]

#Three-"He's team leader, I guess, so I'm going with him"

[#three also departs

#Two stands alone, for a decent amount of time]

#Two-"Join the special forces they said, it’d be cool they said."

[#Two said mockingly as they followed behind as well]

. . .

[ The three all together arrive at a door were the blood trail lead

The door reads "Bionux cellars"]

#Three-"Cellars?"

#One-"Maybe the scientists sleep down here sometimes-"

[The group was interrupted by the sound of a metal plate or disk dropping from inside the door, it noisily clattered on the other side, it become louder as it trembled until it stopped completely

They all froze

#One slowly turned the lever door handle and pushed open the door]

#Two-"ohh my god..."

[The floor shined like a pool of red, bits and pieces of flesh lay about, there was a hair like material all over as well even huge clumps of hair the size of bodies, the three had never seen anything like it]

#One-"What.. the hell... happened here?"

[Three was sick, they seemed like they were going to puke

All where curious, but only #One was going forward investigating

#One continued farther, stepping into the thin puddles of blood with his boots and trudging slowly along, feeling little chunks of flesh nudge his boot every now and again, looking into the blood for anything. #One spotted a metal tray, he assumes it was the one that’d just fallen. #One looked over at the spot were he assumes it could've fallen from. A table on wheels, the kind they would use to roll around food at restaurants

Ignoring the plate for a second #One examined the "Cellar" room itself, #two and #three still stood near the doorway but had now entered the room

The room had different sections of 20 medium sized beds, with blankets on them of different coloration and patterns, but all were now covered in blood. The beds were spaced out by about a meter for five beds then spaced out for two meters with a thin foldable wall in-between, some of the walls were torn and busted. There were also curtains on and above the beds, likely for privacy of some sort

There were also several toys and other entertainment items laid around

#One-"was this for kids?"

#Two- “Who knows, maybe they worked down here for so long they brought thier kids down here.”

Then #One noticed it now that they were closer,

The large clumps of hair, soaked in blood, where corpses of some animal-like creature

When he noticed sent chills through #One's spine, had lab animals gotten loose and killed kids? Why would there even be kids down here?

#One called the other two over to him, reluctantly they both came

#One-"Do you know what animal that is? Or any of the others laying around?"

[The two looked at it for a little while, well, #three looked away pretty quickly but gave thier imput]

#Three-"M- maybe try flipping it over? It looks back up."

[#One placed their gloved hand on the mass and pushed it, heavy and soaked in blood it didn't move as much until they but a little more effort into it, it then flipped belly up]

[What they saw left them speechless,

Broken glass, metal, flesh, and blood

It was a creature of humanoid shape, with wolf or tall cat-like ears, and long and large amount of fur all over the body

The body wasn't the strangest part about it, it was the face, or rather the lack of one.

It seemed to have been replaced with or just was a metal frame with shattered glass around the edges, and inside the frame was a fleshy amalgamation of wires and metal binded all together, a skull could be seen, although smashed inwards revealing a brain.

#One kneeled down and leaned over to it and lifted up its head, getting themself even more blood soaked then they where, they pulled it to themself and stared at it in shock and sorrow

#One knows this *thing* used to be alive, there **were** casualties, just not human ones.

#One pressed the poor thing to thier chest and rocked themself, coating their gear in its blood, they weren't taking this all that well.

#Two and Three extanged glances, worried.

#One-"Count the other bodies"

[ #Two and #Three were indeed hesitant but they didn't have to touch them at least, so they slowly counted each one separately to make sure they got the same number

As they did this #One laid the thing back down carefully and examined it properly

Other then the broken screen, the body had wounds all over, they were a bit hard to identify due to the fur but one by one they were able to point them out.

Sevral tears at the legs and arms, but nothing was fatal until a giant gash in the neck, where something seemed to pull out all that it could grasp, likely cutting off its lung capillaries.

Then the other two made a report on the counting

"19" both of them said

#One noticed how close the number was to the amount of beds, off by one ]

#One-"Are you sure you didn't miss one?"

#Two threw an arm behind his head in uncertainty, "I guess we'll recount..."

[As they did once again, #One left the body alone and went to another

This one was facing the ceiling, with arms sprawled out a little on the ground

The metal frame didn't only just have broken glass, it's entire frame was torn, open and in half, the head was almost entirely in two, revealing a smashed skull

On one end of the room #One heard #Three hold back a hurl]

#One-"You okay?"

[#Three was leaning towards the wall and was definitely in distress]

#Three-"I-Im fine, it's just this one-"

[#Three held back another hurl]

#Three-"-really doesn’t help to look at."

[#One began walking over to #Three to have a look himself,

And just like #Three, he wanted to throw up

The frame was bent out of shape, arms contorted in a disgusting formation, broken bones were visible coming from the elbows, the chest and stomach had been torn open, sevral organs ripped and torn apart

#One closes thier eyes and looks away]

#One-"Did you lose count?"

[#Three nods lightly, still recovering from the sight]

#Two-"Well I've got 19 again..."

#One-"Alright, but, there's 20 beds"

#Two-"Mabye an extra?"

#One-"Maybe, I'll count one more time just for good measure"

[And so #One counts aloud]

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19-

. . .

[By the beds,

It had just crawled out of hiding under one of the curtains.

There they stood, barely 1 and a half meters tall.

#Two noticed it immediately after #One.

#Three was still leaned up against the wall and hadn't noticed yet.

It has a few bits of it's right ear missing. The glass face wasn't broken, except for a small crack in the bottom right of the glass, it was active, glowing with an expression on its display, a distrought expression

In thier left hand, they held their own dismembered right arm that was cut off in the middle of the forearm

#Two nudged #Three

#Three turned around holding their stomach, and immediately reacted to it by finally throwing up

It muttered slowly, counting itself for them]

"20"

[It’s word echoed through the room as they processed the creature. The screen’s expression shifted to a distraught smile, finally having found hope, or rather it’d found them.

It began shuffling towards #One, with a heavy limp, most of the skin and muscle of the right leg was shredded to the near bone.

to add onto the injuries, it had a large gash along the right side of it's ribcage

#One wasn't even sure how they were alive at all

It tripped over one of the corpses of its own kind, #One reached their arms out to it and caught them

Just then they had gone limp in #One's arms, finally being unable to stay conscous from it’s injuries

#One lifted them up still in a mix of shock and concern of the strange creature

How would they treat the wounds? So much of the flesh itself was torn off and just entirely gone, it’s not the same thing as sticting a wound or patching it up.

Would they die? Although it wasn’t a normal animal or creature by any means, they still seemed humanoid. with opposable thumbs and stood on two legs, just covered in fur with a screen for a face, and if they were anything like a human when injured like this, they would most definenly die. Be it infection, bloodloss, and whatever injuries it may have. What if-

#One shook thier head and stopped panicking, not saving time to think. He picked up thier dismembered arm they'd just dropped and began running to the elevator shaft

Without words #Two and #Three ran after him and tried to keep up but Three had just thrown up and Two just wasn't as fast as #One when they had a life to save

Even as #One was running to the elevator, they snagged a first aid kit off the wall and continued

When #One arrived in the elevator they set down the creature softly on the elevator's floor and opened up the first aid kit and attempted to treat any wounds possible as the other two ran to the elevator.

The elevator itself wasn't connected to only the labatory's power but also a secondary power source from above, so it worked just fine without the lab’s power, but it was still significantly slower.

The other two arrived at the elevator, #Two was helping #Three along, they’d slowed down to help them. After getting in they started it up while #One was still working on the creature’s wounds, clearly uneasy and still doing the best he can.

They didn’t speak for a while. During this moment of quiet #One noticed just how clean the cut was on the forearm, it looked sugical rather then having been broken or torn off. Was this from before there’d even been any attack? Was this from lab expiriments?

As they headed up in a panicked silence, #Two spoke]

"Well at least we got what we came for."

[#One responded, stressed]

"What do you mean by that?"

#Two-"You said we needed a tablet or screen that may or may not be attached to something right?"

#One-"Yes, but all we’re bringing is-"

[#One paused, he took a good look at the Creature's faintly glowing face, now without anything displayed on it. Square in shape with a slight curve to it to better fit their skull… Simply put, its face was a screen.]

#One-"Oh… I guess you’re right.."

[#One kept scrambling around in the medkit for more of anything to help. #Three was still recovering from their ill stomach, but muttered a question.]

#Three-”What are we going to do once we get to the surface?”

#One- ”Hopefully find a someone who can help them!”

[One shouted in fear and frustration and glared breifly at the other two, barley holding himself together while he patched up the broken body infront of him

There was another pause]

#One- “I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to…”

#Three- “It’s okay, we’re all stressed out right now, I don’t blame you for snapping at us.”

#Two- “I also grabbed this, if that helps.”

[They passed a second medkit to #One]

#Two- “While I was helping out Mr. Queasy over here I happened to spot it after you’d grabbed the first one

[#Three chuckled]

#Three- “Sorry about that”

#Two- “Honestly not your fault, even if you’re not sensitive to stuff like that like you are, most would puke anyway”

[#One let out a quiet laugh, not quite sure it was something he should be laughing at, before turning back the the creature, who was now looking right back at them, with an expression of awe thier face was brighter then before even in the bright elevator’s lights. #One was shocked and flinched at first.]

#One- “Y-you’re awake? Already?”

[The other two didn’t realise until #One had spoken, #Three gasped]

#One- “You, you should rest, your injuries are-”

[The creature turned thier head to look at thier own body, but #One stopped them]

#One- “Well don’t look at them! Just wait until I cover them up first..”

[The creature let its head fall back down]

“Thank you” [It said]

[#One was speechless, still shocked by the creature themself, he mustered any response he could think of]

#One- ‘Sorry we werent there sooner.”

[Another moment a tension filled scilence filled the air. . .It then occured to all of them at once that they should’ve arrived at the surface by now, they all looked to the ceiling]

#Two- “Are we even going up?”

#Three- “What’re we going to do if the elevator broke?”

#One- “Nonono”

[They looked down at the creature]

#One- “We can’t get stuck here, not now!”

[It was then that all of them felt a thump against the elevator’s floor from beneath it. They all froze, they barely breathed. A loud snap of a cable startled them all, #Three began to hyperventalate

#One looked at the soft fuzzy creature with guilt and sarrow]

#One- “I- I’m sorry”

[It smiled in response]

“Don’t be"

[A choir of snapping cords began to sing as the elevator fell, the song of thier deaths. The elevator screeched as its saftey measures tried to save them but something from below only pulled them harder, with a sudden jolt it seemed like the entire elevator had been freed from anything it was attached to and just plumeted down.]

[Connection severed]

The depths

Section 2

The pain in his head was the first thing he noticed. His ringing ears slowly began to readjust, he heard muffled shouting and metal bashing. All of them had just plumeted down the elevator shaft and crash landed.

Something was nudging him from the side as he layed backdown. He slowly opened his eyes to a light in his face, was it a flashlight? It wasn’t the elevator’s lights, they were brighter. He blinked a few times as his eyes slowly focused and became clear.

The blurry light turned into a face, the glowing face that belonged to the creature he’d been trying so hard to save just a moment ago. They were saying something but he couldn’t make out the words.

The air smelled weird, it left a odd tinge in his mouth. He took a deep breath in but only ended up coughing after a sharp pain struck through him. He rolled over to his side and slowly picked himslef up, two paws tried to help pull him up.

“Watch the light!” a familiar voice shouted at him

Immedietly after hearing that his helmet smashed some sort of glass. He flinched away from it and looked back, it was one of the light poles that went in the pannel the elevator had in the ceiling, now resting on the wall. He looked back the other way.

Raine and Gabe seemed to be trying to pry open the elevator’s sliding doors. They were broken and crooked. Although very heavy doors, definetly not the strongest, he probobly could’ve broken them eaisly by kicking it and knocking it off its tracks or just breaking the tracks or any mechanics connected to the doors themselves, making it unable to open or shut.

Raine was taller then all of them, but not above him by too much, but noticably taller then Gabe. Raine’s tactical vest was labeled TWO, Gabe’s was labeled THREE, and his own was labeled ONE.

“What happened?” he asked, almost out of breath.

“Depends on how far back you remember after that fall of yours, can you help with the door first?” Raine grunted.

He nodded and took a step towards the doors.

“Me and Gabe will pull it from the same side, it’ll open a bit but it keeps closing again before we can get any farther. So you’ll push it open from the other way once it does, and once it’s open enough slip inbetween go and force it the rest of the way," Raine instructed.

All got into position, Raine starts a countdown at 3. He noticed that when she was counting, the creature who was standing idly by, was also quietly counting along.

After hitting 1 Raine shouted “Pull!”, He anticipated the opening, and once it was there he jammed his hands in it and pushed off the wall with his feet. He felt the doors pushing back, how where they doing that? Was it something in the mechanisims? He only tried harder to overpower it and shuffled himslef in and began pushing the door with his feet.

Then he saw it, what was forcing the doors shut. He didn’t even need his headlight to see it. Just on the other side of those doors was several moving cords, as though alive. Just out of sight from Raine or Gabe, these cords where trying to seal them in here by stabbing into the steel doors and pushing against them.

He unbuckled his holstiered pistol and turned of the saftey in one swift movment and fired three times. The gun slung around his chest would’ve been slower to pull so he determined within a fraction of a second to go for his pistol first.

Sparks flew and the cords shot out of thier positions on the door. Cords grabbed his legs and swiped him right off his feet, throwing him out of the elevator and into the darkness. He hit the floor and a good angle and just slid across it.

“VINCE!” Raine shouted to him. He picked himself off the floor and caught glimpses of movment, massive movment. Something big was behind all those wires and was avioding being seen directly. He pointed his head so that his headlight illuminated around the elevator.

His life flashed before his eyes as a massive cord whipped his head at terrifying speed and threw it to the ground. If his head didn’t already hurt enough, it sure did now. Even now, he still had his pistol gripped tightly. With his body sore and head aching, he leaned up and readied his gun. Even though the majority of what was controlling these wires was coated in darkness, he noticed three glowing white dots all together in one group. He choose one and shot.

In just that small moment of muzzle flash illuminating the room, he made out just how big it was. Nearly 20 feet from head to toe. Wires stringing across and out of it. What he shot at must be it’s head. The room was again flooded in shadow

There was the sound of the bullet hitting and being ricocheted off, followed by a deafening screech. All the wires began to get dragged off following the glowing dots, which there where still three of. It seemed to craw upwards from where the elevator was.

It retreated. He let out a sigh of relief and rested his head back down. He flicked his gun into saftey and holstered it again. All he wanted to do right now was lay down, everything hurt. He rested his eyes a bit.

“Vince!” Gabe shouted his name this time. “What’s going on? Are you okay?”

Vincent could see thier headlights shining through his eyelids. He took a deep breath and just held up his arm and gave a thumbs up before letting his arm fall limp back down. He heard her and Gabe jogging over as all thier equipment shuffled with them.

“Oh my god, your helmet!” Gabe exclaimed.

He was curious and reached up to examine it. When his hand didn’t touch anything at first where his helmet should be his eye’s widened and he sat up. He unbuckled the clip at his chin and slid his helmet off. He was shocked to see nearly all of the frontmost area had broken off, which would leave his forehead exposed.

His headlight was certantly destroyed after a hit like that, it seemed targeted right at it. Which likely was the differance between life and death, if it’d gone for his face it could’ve been caved in. Didn’t mean that it didn’t hurt like hell now.

“What was that? What where you shooting?” Raine asked.

“I don’t know, it was big, larger then any animal i’ve seen. It also looked like it had wires coming off of it, one of them whipped me and did this” He said gesturing to his helmet.

“All we saw was you start shooting and then get thrown out of the elevator, but right as you did the door was easier to pull open," Gabe said.

“Oh hey, how’s your head?” Raine poked.

“Terrible, when it hit me it sent my head into the concrete floor," Then he checked the other side of the helmet to see that side was also cracked. He’s glad it’d been softening the immense concussions he may or may not have.

“Oof,” She chuckled.

From the elevator, Vincent could see the faint light coming from the sceen on the creature’s face. It was still in there, probobly scared to death. He got up, ignoring just how much pain he was in. Before the other two could help him up he was already standing and shuffled on over.

Leaning through the doorway he saw them neatly sitting in the furthest corner from the door, knees to thier chest and arms wrapped under the knees holding their legs. When they noticed Vincent thier screen faintly brightened and they scrambled to thier feet, they’d picked up thier own severed right forearm again.

Remembering just how injured they where, Vincent stepped towards them with an arm extended forward.

“Careful, your leg is still hurt,” he reminded with worry.

It was still amazing to him that they were conscous, let alone alive. He’d patched up and sanitized all the wounds he could, but half of it wasn’t survivable all added together. The best he could do for thier leg was encase it in bandage after dousing it with sanitizer, which proboly didn’t do all that much.

Dispite all of this, they stood, taking a step towards him and reaching out. Vincent reached a second arm out and anticipated to catch them if they fell again. Instead of falling, they’d slipped past his arms and hugged him. Far too short to do it properly but they tried, platning their flat face just under his ribs.

They both relaxed, unsure how to hug back, he akwardly put his hand on the top of thier head. When he did he noticed they had a short tail that began to wag

He wondered, and so he asked “Do you have a name?”

They released the hug and took a step back, they took thier severed forearm and put it under the other arm it’d belonged to. Now with the empty left hand they pointed to the top right corner of thier screen on the metal frame which had a label that read: “M-127-Z.” The Z at the end was much more bold and apparent.

“My name is Zee,” they said cheerfully, tapping the label.

“Zee? Are you okay? Does it… hurt?”

Zee looked down at themself silently for a moment.

“It doesn’t hurt, but I can feel that something isn’t right.”

Considering that the right leg alone was the worst injury he’d ever seen, he’d expect more of a reaction to its pain, espesially while standing on it. Were they in shock? Could it just be one of thier strange traits to have numbed pain? What even were they, why were they made, how?

“Does that hurt you?” Zee asked, pointing to his head.

He’s reminded of his massive head injury with searing pain, he replied “Yes, lots.”

“I’m sorry.” Zee apologized, still looking down now with guilt in her voice, they sounded like they were going to cry somehow.

“Hey, no no, this isn’t your fault,” He said, getting down on one knee to be at eyelevel with them. Zee tilted thier head a little futher up to look at them.

“I don’t want you to get hurt again,” Zee mumbled, all choked up.

“Don’t worry about me, you should worry about yourself more right now,”

Zee lifted their chin higher, their eyes squinted as they began to cry. Now with Vincent at eye level, Zee hugged him again properly while lightly sobbing.

Vincent returned the hug cautiously, avoiding touching any wounds. Which was difficult regaurding they were everywhere on Zee’s body, even some on thier back he didn’t notice until he felt the bloody flesh through his gloves, although Zee didn’t flinch at the touch.

Vincent wasn’t sure if Zee could actually cry, with their face being a screen and all, but the expressions on said screen were alive. They had emotions just like any person, they were no different from a human aside from physically and in appearance.

Vincent still wondered how Zee could see or how they could speak. His thoughts were interuppted when he noticed the footsteps of Raine and Gabe approaching the entrance to the broken elevator with their sleek yet clunky tactical boots. He also heard them talking quietly as they got near.

“Can I carry you? I don’t think you should stand right now, wiether or not you can feel the pain,” Vincent suggested.

Zee replied with a quiet hum of agreement.

WIth that he carefully picked up Zee,
