Rinzler knew he'd been knocked offline when he hit the water, but how long he’d remained that way was unclear. His internal clock was glitched like so many of his subroutines, his system struggling to fully reactivate even after he’d washed up on shore. When he’d fallen he’d assumed he’d derez, lost to the sea with his voxels left to sink and his energy levels slowly draining away, but the waves had carried him onwards. The freezing water had seeped into the fractures along his render, numbing the pain, but flooding his ventilation system. He was distantly glad he hadn’t had his discs, he didn’t couldn’t imagine the damages the fall would’ve done to them. Trying to pull himself fully out of the water was difficult, remnants from the sea still clinging to his circuits and making his joints jitter.

He tried to leverage himself up on his arms and felt the support structure in his back shift, a crack running across the primary wireframe. Pain flared up, his entire render freezing for a nano, fans stuttering further as he waited for it to subside. He was fighting to keep himself present, his system trying to protect him from the extent of his injuries by temporarily disabling his higher cognizant functions, but he knew that if he allowed himself to fall into standby now he wouldn’t come back to himself for a long time, if at all. It was as he was redirecting his minimal amount of energy to his self repair protocols, trying to move past his damages that he received the very worst thing he could in that moment:

A proximity alert.

His head snapped up, futilely trying to seek out the threat. His left eye wasn’t responding, the optic overtaken by the underlying scar. Rinzler struggled to see from his functioning eye, a barrage of error messages blocking sections of his vision for a nano before clearing. In its absence he was granted near perfect view of an unknown program a short distance away, still far too close. His threat assessment screamed. This time when he tried to stand he was successful, temporarily able to block out the pain in order to insure his survival. The grating rattle he produced was loud even to his own water logged ears as he scanned for anything he could use as a weapon. The beach was barran. The program was drawing closer.

There was nowhere for Rinzler to retreat to, no cover he could try to reach. He’d just have to derez the program without his discs, there was no other option.

The cycle had started like any other. After waking up from his sleep cycle, he got himself a drink of potent energy and went to work. There were no Games scheduled, as Jarvis informed him of his itinerary for the cycle. He had at least two meetings which he could do without.

There were cycles he hoped there would be something to break up the monotony of it all. Maybe Flynn would come out of hiding and turn himself in. Rather than prolonging this stupid game of theirs any further. Maybe the Resistance would come to their senses and settle into the Perfection he had created.

But neither of those things had thus far occurred so Clu didn't get his hopes up A few anomalies every micro or so. Things easily corrected. Clu, in boredom, decided to see where the handful of programs he cared about were.

Dyson was in his office at his desk. No doubt questioning one of his Black Guard about something or other. He didn't recognize the tag on the other program. Maybe he should make an effort to learn them?

Rinzler was out on a Patrol near the End of Line. That wasn't out of the ordinary. The Enforcer was a fixture in the City. Programs knew to stay out of his way but not necessarily out of fear. A healthy respect maybe.

Opal was just starting her shift at the Line. No doubt checking in with Gem to see what her duties were for the cycle. She'd finish her shift their and then check in with the latest gossip. It was more to keep tabs on Castor. Clu did not trust him in the slightest. Who better to spy on the Host than one of his own employees?

The Admin was aware of a Black Guard who seemed to be somewhat uncomfortable in his presence. Nothing out of the ordinary there. He'd seen this particular one in Opal's company often. She'd called him 'Bastian'. "Report." Clu ordered. "Sir, there's been an anomaly in Sector 7." "An anomaly? What does it look like?"

"Well, Sir, that's the thing. It looks like you."

And he did as told. Getting to his knees and sitting back on his legs. Over time, many things had been seared into his mind. Unspoken orders to be followed without response or complaint.

The removal of his helmet was startling for a moment before his senses adjusted. It helped keep him from being overwhelmed after being deprived of stimulus for so long.

The blanket felt like a warm hug as it was draped over his shoulders. Something that Sam had forgotten the feel of.

Such a pathetic little thing. Clu found himself caught between pity and disgust, but he only allowed the first to slip into his demeanor. His pet was behaving himself after all, and he wanted to reward good behavior. "Here, let me help you." He gestured for Sam to come closer to him, expecting the user to kneel in his presence. Regardless, a light touch to his suit had Sam's helmet derezz so Clu could get a better look at him.

And if Sam did kneel, his master would pull a thick blanket off the back of his chaise and tuck it around the user's shoulders after running part of it over his head to dry his hair a bit. "Better?" he asked.

Did you know that in the Hebrew Bible the Lord instructed Moses to tell the Israelites to make tassels for the corners of their garments as a reminder to keep all the commandments and as a sign of holiness? And, today, there are tassel artisans from the Europe and America who will charge up to a thousand dollars for a single hand-made tassel? 🤔 . . . . . #theartoftasselmaking #tasselmaking #handmadetassels #tassels #tassel #leathertassel #tasselandakey #key #necklace #tasselnecklace #leathernecklace #besttassel #perfecttassel #perfectionpersonified #tasselmaker #bohotassel #gypsytassels #bohonecklace #gypsynecklace #gypsyfringe #bohofringe #bohogypsy #fringe #fringetassel #fringetasselnecklace #fringenecklace

This wasn’t supposed to happen. He was supposed to be better than this. The entire reason for his presence at Clu’s side was to prevent something like this from happening. And yes, Rinzler knew that had he not been there the assassination attempt wouldn’t have been prevented. He should be happy that he and Clu had walked away with such minimal damages considering the amount of programs lying in wait, but the fact of the matter was that it shouldn’t have happened.

Rinzler wasn’t so naive to believe that no program would ever try something, many have in the past, but he should have known. It was a costly oversight, one that could’ve easily been far worse, with Clu sustaining more damages or even being derezzed. He knew better than anyone that the Admin was capable of holding his own, though that didn’t change that he shouldn’t have to. That's the purpose of Rinzler himself, to ensure his protection.

In the end while many of the programs had been derezzed, some of them had still gotten away. Rinzler longed to finish the job, to hunt down each and every one of them for ever even thinking of harming the Admin, but he’d been given instructions that contradicted that. Bring ordered to return to the tower when he’d already calculated the most likely routes the rebels would’ve taken was…frustrating. Of course he saw the merit of it, Clu was damaged and getting him to fortified safety as soon as possible would be the only thing to do. What he didn’t understand was the Admin’s instance that Rinzler also returned. Yes, he’d received damages, but they were exceedingly minor, nothing that would’ve prevented him from eliminating the threats.

He’d argued the point as much as he could while still staying within the needed lines of respect and reverence, for all the good it did him. Ultimately Clu got his way. Rinzler wasn’t able to disobey such a direct order, especially not one given with such a look. Unfortunately they’d both gone back, leaving Rinzler to stalk from one end of the Admin’s quarters to the other like a caged animal, aggression written in every line of his render. The longer they delayed in tracking the programs the higher the likelihood that they’d get away. He was all but wearing grooves in the floor from walking the perimeter of the room, only temporarily distracted from it by looking over his shoulder periodically.

Clu was doing…something? Rinzler didn’t pretend to know his methods for preparing to repair damages, he just hoped this would finally be the time that the Admin would operate on himself first.

Go Behind-The-Scenes Of Zendaya’s Blackity Black & Uber Fab InStyle Magazine Cover

Zendaya is perfection personified on the cover of InStyle magazine’s September 2020 issue. And a bomb team of black creatives, stylists, designers and artists are who made it happen. Take a peek behind-the-scenes inside…

                  Thank you @instylemagazine for this very special cover and interview with @osopepatrisse Styled by @luxurylaw Shot by @abdmstudio Makeup by @officialsheiks Hair by @larryjarahsims Wearing @alietteny @mateonewyork

  All black everything! For real, for real.

When it comes to slaying pages in a magazine, Zendaya def has that on LOCK. And her InStyle cover and spread proves it to be true.

Not only does she slay the cover and spread, she surrounded herself with all Black creatives to bring the vision alive. Several melanin folks helped the 23-year-old for TWO InStyle covers and a flawless spread for the September 2020 issue, including her longtime stylist Law Roach, photography duo Ahmad Barber and Donté Maurice, hairstylist Larry Sims, and makeup artist Sheika Daley.

Oh, and she didn’t stop there….

The “Euphoria” star and 2020 Emmy nominee also rocked all black designers on the covers and spread, including designs from Jason Rembert, Pyer Moss, Cushine, Hanifa, Romeo Hunte, Thebe Magugu, and Victor Glemaud.

On the newsstand cover, Zendaya rocked a satin dress from Rembert's fall 2020 Aliétte collection paired with earrings from Mateo New York. On the subscriber cover, the actress posed it up in a color-block pleated dress by Hanifa and Tori Soudan boots:

  The blackness didn't stop there. For the cover story, Daya spoke to Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrice Cullors where she opened up about being an activist, using an all-Black creative team, dealing with anxeity, Season 2 of her hit HBO show "Euphoria," and more.

Below are the highlights:

PC: I want to ask you about your activism. What do you want to say to the young people who look up to you around this moment of Black Lives Matter? What feels important for you to share with them?

Z: I have always hesitated to use the word "activist" for myself. That is a lifestyle. That is a choice every day to be doing the work and devoting your life to a cause. And I don't feel I am deserving of the title. There are a lot of words that better describe what I do. I'm an actress, but I'm also just a person who has a heart and wants to do the right thing. I care about human beings, so this time is very hard to talk about. It's painful. I remember when I was with my dad in Atlanta shooting the first Spider-Man movie, and it was around the time that the murders of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling happened. I was extremely emotional, and I remember thinking about my dad, who was out picking up food at the time. And I started worrying and calling him like, "Are you OK?" I didn't want him to go out and do anything. But my dad is a 65-year-old Black man. He's been on this planet a long time, so he knows what he knows. But I still had that fear, and that scared me.

PC: We have to talk fashion next because you wore some incredible pieces for this cover shoot. You also had an all-Black team around you. Was that the first time you ever experienced that?

Z: I've always had a Black stylist and Black hair and makeup artists. But we were able to work with two talented young Black photographers on this shoot too. We're actually around the same age, so it was cool to be with my peers and have an opportunity to show what we can do. There are also so many Black designers people don't know about, so having an opportunity where they can be in InStyle and get the love they deserve is really special. I hope people are like, "Oh, I like that dress!" And then go support them.

PC: You and I have both opened up about having anxiety, and I think it's so important to share how we're coping with it. How are you're managing stress in these times?

Z: My anxiety first started when I was younger and I had to take a test at school. I remember panicking, and my teacher had to walk me out of the room and say, "Calm down, deep breaths." I don't think it really came up again until I was about 16, when I was working and there was a project I had turned down. That was kind of my first time dealing with the internet, and it made me feel sick. I deleted everything and stayed in my room. Live performing really gave me anxiety too. I think a lot of it stems from the pressure I put on myself, wanting to do my best and not make a mistake. I definitely don't have it under control yet. I don't have the key, so if anybody does, let me know! I do find that talking about it is helpful, and that can often mean calling my mom in the middle of the night. Sometimes I make her sleep on the phone with me like a frickin' baby. [laughs]

PC: Since Euphoria filming is delayed, are you missing your character, Rue? How are you feeling about having that part of your life on pause?

Z: I do miss Rue. She's like my little sister in a lot of ways. And going back to that character is a home base for me. There is a beautiful second season that has been written, but in order to do it the way we want to do it, we need to wait until it's safer. There is an idea to do a couple of bridge episodes that can be shot safely but aren't necessarily part of Season 2. So, hopefully, we will be able to do those in the coming months. I can't wait.

We love a conscious queen who walks the walk she talks. You can read her full interview here.

InStyle’s September issue starring Zendaya will be available on August 21st.

In new movie news, Zendaya stars in the upcoming film DUNE that's set to drop December 18th.
