#olivia has named every gadget she's ever owned

[bioticbooty]

I've been working on a rewrite of Crosshairs for quite some time, for a lot of reasons. There's gonna be a tense change because when I decided to abandon what I had already written and go from there, what came out on the keyboard came out in present tense, so obviously that was the bare minimum rewrite. But aside from that, there are a lot of different things that I wish I had done differently and bits of story I wish I had included. So. Rewrites!

My new chapter two has been sitting in this half-finished state for a while, but last night I finally nailed down a scene I'm happy with (though it will probably see some tweaks between now and posting time later this year). So as a teaser / love note to all those who have loved Crosshairs and Olivia Shepard over the years, here's my closing chapter two scene:

---

Shepard hands him the rag back, and starts piecing her rifle back together, applying lubricant where needed.

He sees writing on the stock just as she’s reattaching it. “Mjolnir?” he asks.

Shepard makes a little hum he thinks is a cross between acknowledgment and contentment. “My old head of marine detail when I served on the Cold Harbor joked that if I was too small to fire my rifle, at least I could wield it as a hammer. Told me I shouldn’t have been so cavalier with my first one. Named the damned thing Mjolnir to spite him.”

Kaidan laughs, then asks, “What happened to the first one?”

“The Blitz,” she says, “Crossing a bridge to get to the port and a batarian outfit blew the fucking thing in an attempt to stop us.”

“Shit,” he says.

It’s a wonder she’s sitting there in front of him. A fucking bridge. And all it did was apparently slow her down.

“So what did he think of the name?”

“Laughed his ass off.” Shepard leans forward and holds the Punisher out to him, exposing the underside. “Signed it, too.”

XOXO -Jones is scribbled on the bottom.

“No one’s ever signed my gun,” Kaidan laughs.

“All you non-sniper people are boring as fuck,” she replies. “Where’s the ritual? The sacredness?”

“Ritual’s happening right here, right now.”

“This is it?” Shepard shakes her head. “Boring.”

“I saw the way you were looking at Mjolnir, Commander. It was anything but boring.”

“Maintenance as the only ritual is boring,” she corrects herself. “How the hell do you know your gun is safe to use if you don’t give it a name first? Kiss the stock? Inscribe it? Bless it?”

“Do you name all your guns?” Kaidan asks, genuinely curious.

“Of course.”

“What was your first sniper called?” he asks as he finishes putting his pistol back together and sets it on the ground.

“Henry. That’s easy, you already knew we name our sniper rifles.” Shepard reaches forward and picks up Kaidan’s newly reassembled pistol. “You’re telling me this guy doesn’t have a name?”

Kaidan has to shake his head because his gun doesn’t have a name, and the crestfallen look on Shepard’s face makes him feel so bad he apologizes.

Instead of accepting his apology, Shepard holds up the pistol so it’s cradled between her two hands, almost as if she’s offering it up to him in prayer.

“Name,” she says.

Kaidan stares at his pistol. It’s a solid pistol. Armax, from the Brawler line. Sturdy and reliable, especially with the mods he’s outfitted it with. The gun has never failed him in the field, even when he’s pushed it to the edge of its limits, and he’s had it for seven years. He looks at Shepard’s Punisher, looks at Shepard. Grins as a wicked idea emerges.

“Ragnarok.”

Shepard stares at him in surprise and amazement. Then before Kaidan can do anything, she pulls an engraving laser out of her pocket and etches Ragnarok on the stock, flips the gun over, and etches XOXO -Shepard on the bottom.

When she hands it back to him, she says, “Love your gun, Alenko, and she’ll love you back.”

The way she reverently packs her sniper rifle back into its case, going so far as to wrap her scope in a small bit of fabric that looks as if its seen better days, Kaidan believes her.

JUNKENSTEIN  /  la muerte me pela los dientes .

long ago in a small village just south of aldersbrunn lived a woman who went by the name of olivia colomar. she traveled from lands far away in search of resources and connections, solely interested in furthering her scientific ventures. olivia found herself interested in what made everyday contraptions and tools work from a young age. as an orphaned child, she occupied herself by taking things apart and putting them back together. as a lonely teenager, she occupied herself by creating her own gadgets. now as an adult, she dedicated herself to greater creations  -  along the way she found herself interested in the power of lightning and its potential for propelling humanity to a golden new age. 

unfortunately, she was born in a time where science was shunned for the sake of religion and women were meant for little more than caring for families. olivia learned in her teenage years that she had to hide her work from the public. it was simple enough to keep it a secret seeing as she was brought up shrouded in secrecy. the problems began when her work started to require more resources  -  she burned through various metals, alloys,  leather,  and ink far too quickly. these materials were hard enough to come by without bountiful riches. they were even harder to come by when she was presenting as a woman. she took it upon herself to dress more masculine when in the markets, concealing her most notable features with wigs and baggy clothing.  

in her newest town, olivia kept to herself in the house farthest from the others. rumors began to circulate about the newcomer, especially as more and more of the townsfolk were granted glimpses of her work in the midst of traveling to and from the market. whispers of witchcraft circulated, further exaggerated by the tales of a truer witch in the nearby adlersbrunn. with each month the whispers just grew louder with nothing to stop them once the seed was planted. knights and authority were alerted and she was watched closely. every wrong move added to her list of “crimes” until the day came where she was taken and questioned on her activities. well aware that there was nothing she could do but accept her fate, olivia left them with a final message: if she could come back to life, she would haunt each and every one of them.

… her eternal slumber was evidently not so eternal. despite every bit of logic dictating that she was not to open her eyes ever again,  olivia was awoken with a jolt. blinking away the crust of sleep and… well... death, she met her reflection in a set of emerald lenses. the man was far too loud with a foreign accent, pitchy laughter guiding his introduction to her as doctor jamison junkenstein. he had created her, brought her back to life and she was to be the bride of his first revival; an unnamed man that simply grunted in… irritation, perhaps? olivia argued against this - she did not choose to be revived in the first place and she would not be marrying any man. the doctor did not care for her protests. he simply rattled on about his plans, jumping from topic to topic. amongst his ramblings she heard that he would name her “shadow”, a nickname that she decided she would later use as her new alias once she escaped from his castle. 

to keep this from getting any longer, i’ll summarize what’s next. “shadow”, translated into sombra by her own accord, escapes from her chains when junkenstein leaves. she takes with her a big sack of his equipment. she travels through the lands and from here on out it’s thread dependent but her default is that she finds the countess’ castle and convinces her to allow her to stay.

some notes on her appearance since this is set in the ~1800s so there would be no cybernetics, dyed hair, etc.

as a nod towards her dyed hair and eyebrow slits, sombra has poliosis. this gives her a natural streak of white hair towards the front of her scalp along with a bit on her left eyebrow. it also fits with her in-game skin/the bride of frankenstein's hair since shes got the white locks on the side!

her eyes are her natural color of very dark brown. they have a purplish tinge after death because monster logic LOL

her eccentric/"punk" fashion is translated into a more gothic fashion sense and how she dresses more masculinely frequently pre-death. i dont want to break immersion and i dont think she would dress to stick out because it would only hold her back and this woman is an Opportunist.

she primarily goes by olivia in this verse. sombra is an alias given to her by junkenstein and its only used after her death!
