[lianhuajing]

this college au isn't getting out of my head so here y'all go, some headcanons

despite being the first in the world at age 15 LXY still ended up with crippling self-worth issues and imposter syndrome.. makes me think he'd be a burnt out fgli (first-generation low-income) student at a rich school.. university au (this has nothing to do at all with my experiences as a fgli student at an ivy league school lmaoo)

of course FDB is a shoo in legacy student and at first LLH is is incredibly annoyed bc FDB is clearly a rich kid who got in with his parents money

the name i picked for FDB is 择信 ("zéxìn" or "to choose faith"). his dad's name is 则仕 ("zéshì" literally "officer" the author is laugh at us so that zé didn't work, i picked another one to better fit my intention. same sound though.)

he's still called duobing as a nickname bc he was a sickly child, but fang zexin is what appears on official documents and his student id. of course his mom and his aunt still call him "xiaobao" and later on so does LLH

FDB abuses his "xiaohua" priviledges and when he extra wants something he'll pull out "xiaohua'er"

just them warming up to each other to deal with school stress. think of all the shenanigans!! i feel like 3am on a school campus is when you feel like you can do anything super well, even make empanadas when you've never made empanadas before (did i do this freshman year? yes.)

bonus: LXY has a phd in bio-med and is a famous researcher, but he's getting a herbology? nursing? (still deciding tbh) degree as LLH and passing it off as his first undergrad. he made a small fortune from his first go around so he can afford it, but i feel like he donated most of it and/or gave it to QMS + QP + SGD

yes i made LXY a genius progidy med student who got into college at 15 and wrangled a phd + patent at age 18. he's literally every asian parent's golden child wet dream. no wonder he disappeared and changed his name and only resurfaced 10 years later.

FDB is of course an engineering and business student (dual degree, our xiaobao is a champ) and he buys all the school swag cuz he has the spirit

bonus bonus: fdb is a professional college fencer lmaoo. do they have professional college martial arts?

bonus bonus li'er is a part of the family staff but the fang/he family pays handsomely so she's kinda uppity. she doesn't understand why her young master is hanging out with someone 1) obviously older and 2) obviously poorer

FDB of course falls in love at first sight bc LLH happens to be the most drop dead gorgeous person he's ever seen and reminds him vaguely of the researcher that helped with the cure to his childhood illness. surely there's no connection right..

FDB is 20 when he starts college bc he took a two year break to do an internship at his mother's company. it looks great on his resume and conveniently works well so i can line up canon ages

FDB finds out LLH is living in a van and immediately tries to move him into his dorm (freshman year). of course that doesn't work out, but i think around sophmore year, once they've started dating, he would've whittled down LLH enough for him to agree to live together in a house off-campus. LLH tries several times to convince the 20yo that he can do better than some old man who's just starting his undergrad at age 28 (my man breathes lies). FDB is literally signing their lease as he speaks.

bonus bonus bonus (and my fave): LLH makes those terrible tiktok recipes that never work but he keeps trying and the first couple of times FDB actually tries pretending that LLH's cooking is fantastic

bonus x4: DFS went to trade school and owns a handyman service (he makes bank doing it) and the jinyuan alliance is his crew of fixers. FDB is convinced DFS is a mob boss because LLH is always calling him Di 老大 (lǎo dà) when he comes around to fix LLH's rundown van. DFS gives LLH the i'm in love with u family discount but he'll never admit to it. the two of them have known each other since grade school.

bonus x5: DFS and LXY both did the same martial arts extracircular and were known rivals (affectionate) in those circles. they were constantly swapping between placing 1st and 2nd in tournaments.

bonus x5 extra bonus just for me: at one point LXY did call DFS "gege" before he grew out of it / they drifted a part. obvs they reconcillated bc LLH needed a van guy and DFS under all those scowls does care for LXY a lot.

bonus x6: LLH and JLQ absolutely know they are cousins (just bc it's hilarious for me if they do). they don't talk about it but JLQ hates him for "stealing" DFS's attention since their naptime days. he's her cousin timmy. LLH doesn't even know that he's seduced the love of her life, he's just vibing. DFS tries to explain to her that he's gay and has never been interested in women, but she doesn't believe in homosexuals exactly like in canon lmaoo

bonus x7: SGD and LXY were both in an orphanage before they got adopted by qi mushan and qin po. SGD protected LXY like an older brother, but got more bitter and jealous as LXY clearly displayed genius level academic excellence and as a by product got more attention (more care into selecting schools, more time dedicated to LXY's extracirculars, more time spent driving LXY to conferences and stuff as his research gained more traction)

can you imagine the pressure little xiangyi would've been put under to excel, and to excel bc he got this chance when all the other kids at the orphanage didn't? qi mushan and qin po weren't exacty rich, i imagine he must've felt so stressed being bombarded with scholarships and whatnot while his brother steadily closed himself off from xiangyi

nothing just imposter syndrome going off the charts when rumors started going around that a mistake in LXY's research cost someone their life. that no one should've trusted a teenager to be that smart. that some orphan kid just wanted attention and should've never been given a chance. it breaks him.

unintential pressure from qi mushan, qin po and SGD. why was he protected / saved / chosen if not to make their lives easier and to make them proud with his achivements. he's carrying his made-up expectations of their expectations and SGD's expectations

something something my dad was drunk one night and came on campus and told me i was the hope of our entire family bc i was the first to get into a good school and i could make something of myself. i was 18 at the time, same age as when LXY during his famous battle, and i just. feel some type of way. like. the man was carrying the expectations of the entire jianghu on his back. how was he not gonna be overwhelmed and break down?

bc this is a modern au i can make LXY go to therapy :) it takes a few years for him to be convinced to go (he is asian after all LOL), but he does go eventually and it helps him get the will to start again. FDB knows and actively encourages and praises LLH for taking care of himself.

LLH still carries the same self-hatred he has for his younger self bc he thinks his arrogance caused a mistake in his research and ended up causing ppl to die. he's working on it, okay, it's gonna take time

i'll end this with some crack: FDB accidentally hears DFS call LLH "xiangyi" and proceeds to give him an entire speech abt deadnames and such. it's bc he's seen LLH react to being called "xiangyi" before (come on, this guy was a prodigy and he's back at uni, some of the professors are bound to recognize him) and it's never pretty. he ends by saying "it's not like lianhua is running away from the law, he's not doing anything wrong" yes he thinks LLH is trans lmaoo. the entire time, DFS is giving him an incredious look. LXY was in fact running away from the law (or at least the press lmaoo). LLH is just standing there with an amused look on his face like "my xiaobao is a little confused, but he's got the spirit"

[schmirius]

it's been pointed out before that pirate ships didn't really have the position of "first mate" – instead they had "quartermaster," who was democratically elected by the crew and was a position which, among other duties, was responsible for keeping the captain in check and advancing the interests of the crew

captains were also elected and not absolute rulers so that's pretty interesting

anyway we're here imagining that Izzy is quartermaster on Blackbeard's ship (called "first mate" in canon because it's a term more familiar to the viewer) because it's fun to dig deeper than canon thought about or, in fact, cares about, given the light-hearted genre of the show. (grits teeth. doesn't bring up 2x08. grits harder)

the Izzy as quartermaster thing raises questions for me like: holy shit, *was* this a Blackbeard-Izzy democracy the whole time? captains had absolute control during battle, but pretty much everything else could be discussed among crew and, ultimately, advanced as a concern via QM. did they keep electing Izzy because they knew he was good at that job, reining Blackbeard in? Did they keep electing Ed for his charisma and leadership and Izzy to *keep them safe* from him?

like, I know The Toe Thing in 1x10 is at least partly about a redefinition of the power structure on the ship already – but I really like thinking about it like this, an explicit destruction of the rules of their society, where Izzy's 100% not allowed to do his job, and just has to sham at it on Ed's behalf.

like again, he does. that is very much an enormous part of 2x01. but I like the destruction of pirate society aspect of it all.

[invertedromance2]

qm; heres something interesting for you

i (hemoanon) have been a part of this crew for a while

nice people

mostly lowbloods

they didnt question that i didnt tell them my caste (they think im a lowblood) or that i didnt like talking about myself or anything

but the thing is

im a highblood. very high up

and ive been using my abilities to subtly influence their perception of me and make them less suspicious of me

not mind control, but not not mind control

because im going to have to turn them over to the Empire eventually

theyre either going to be executed or sold into slavery, as usual

im starting to feel a little bad about the whole thing since weve been together so long so i think im going to have to have to kick the whole thing into motion soon

i sort of wish they could have just obeyed the empire, then i wouldnt have had to do this

i mean, not my fault, right?

bitch what in the actual fuck.

[rabbivole]

Hey Jenn, I just got back from my weekly stroll around the children's dept. at B&N and feel more confused than ever with regards to Chapter Books. I see a large section of Chapter Books for emergent readers like The Timekeepers, Miles Lewis, Unicorn Princesses, Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew, etc. but what category do those fall under when submitting a manuscript to an agent? They're not MG so would Chapter Books just be lengthy "Children's" (i.e. >1000), when I submit via Query Manager?

I feel like I answer this once a week. Sure, when you are querying, you can put "children's" and then in the query itself just say it's a chapter book.

To nip the inevitable follow-ups in the bud:

-- No, agents don't put "chapter book" as a category on QueryManager, because as you can see, there is no such category on QM.

-- Yes, it's fine to query any agent who does Children's/MG with a chapter book unless they say specifically that they DON'T want chapter books on their websites/wishlists/whatever.

-- Yes, if you are querying a chapter book you should have the entire first book manuscript, as well as ideas for potential further books in the series. Chapter books are pretty much always sold as series, so be prepared for that. :-)

-- Yes, there are MANY answers about chapter books in previous asks! Go look!

Quartermaster’s Log

Fleet Quartermaster’s Log, Federation Starbase Deep Space 5

Stardate 5789.27

Quartermaster Orin M’Tembe

QM’s Log, listed stardate. Starbase 5 hasn’t seen this much action since the end of the Dominion War, and it’s been a lot longer since we weren’t on station for some dire circumstance related to an all-out invasion by one enslaving force or another. It’s been a little over 5 years since things started cooling off, and as always, Star Fleet has kept us on our toes.

The past couple of years has seen a set of large-scale refits and rebuilds of a number of damaged ships from the war fleet, incorporating new technologies and techniques against the formidable under-layer of established veteran designs to help make the best of a bad situation: the Dominion left our fleets in bad shape, and the only thing keeping our friends and allies from picking at our bones is the fact that they’re no better off than we are. The Cardassians are still trying to heal the wounds of their disastrous alliances, while the Klingons and Romulans are picking up the pieces, same as we are. For better or for worse, the Founders are back on the other side of the galaxy, thickening up their soup after Federation Medical helped to cure their plague, so the call for wartime ship-building has turned to a tried-and-true method of post-war development: recycling.

DS5 has seen any number of classes and serials in the past few years, but the new class refits have been something else. The unprecedented return of the USS Voyager from the furthest depths of the Delta Quadrant brought a veritable treasure trove of innovation, insight, and scientific development which, in all honesty, Star Fleet is not prepared to capitalize on large scale. Ablative Shielding technology, apparently something that was developed by acts of paradox, still only has a number of example prototypes to extrapolate from, meaning that it’s not ready for fleet-wide deployment. Many of the other adaptations the Intrepid-Class voyager took with it into the unknown came back so profoundly and fundamentally changed that even if things like bio-neural circuitry and variable geometry warp nacelles were commonplace, we wouldn’t be able to directly adapt the cornucopia of Borg-modified, alien enhanced, and innovatively modified systems without completely overhauling entire frameworks.

In true “Beggars Can’t Be Choosers” form, DS5’s recent project has been fed by a lot of variety. The Abraxis Expedition, commissioned by the Bureau of Cartography for potential colonization, is a relatively secret project with relatively open parameters, as it’s certain that none of our competing intelligence agencies are unaware that we’ve been retrofitting a small fleet of exploration and science vessels, freighters, and a few modest escorts. What they may not know is the intended application of this fleet, or its destination: regardless of the outcomes of our conflict in the Gamma Quadrant, the Federation still lacks a stable foothold on the far side of the wormhole, and the logistics of trafficking the equipment, manpower, and resources to establish a foothold in such unreceptive territory. Instead, the plan is to send an agile team of trailblazers into the frontier, and to hopefully put down a flag with enough guile that it won’t be contested before it’s well established.

It’s far too late now for that secret to be a significant risk if the wider intelligence community picks it up, as the Abraxis Expedition has already started setting out for Deep Space 9, where they will take on their final crews and supplies before embarking into the wilderness, and stealth is not exactly a realistic expectation when the gateway to the Gamma Quadrant lights up the sky for a parsec any time a pilgrim arrives at the temple gates, so the best we can hope for is that our preparation, and the rapport we’ve developed on either side of the wormhole are good enough to keep significant resistance to a minimum. That said, it’s unlikely that anyone will be happy with our ambition to expand, and it’s equally unlikely that any of the neighbors haven’t had the same ideas, on their own timelines. Hard to guess whether we’ll run into Romulans or the Jem’Hadar first.

I suppose it’s all academic to me: my investment in the expedition is about to end as far as my responsibility as Quartermaster is concerned, with the last two ships still in our dry docks making final preparation to depart. Once they’re gone, these ships, each of which has my thumb print literally stamped on their hulls, etched into the casings of their warp cores for luck, will only take me with them in spirit, and I will be relegated to imagining their ultimate fates until I read the eventual reports of their success… or their demise. As such, I’ve taken to the habit of meeting with their captains, and whatever crew they depart my shipyards with, to get to know the people who will make history at the helm of my work before they’re written about in the books.

Today, I have the distinct honour of meeting with one of our more… unconventional captains, Durok of house Maleth, who has come to command the Nova II-Class explorer ‘Vellouwyn’ through a series of interesting transfers through the Officer Exchange Program. Durok once captained the IKS Cho’toch until he and his squadron were destroyed in the Gamma Quadrant on foray into Jem’Hadar space, and taken captive. Before even that, though, he served as a liaison officer on the USS Summerville back in the 2360s, as, of all things, a science officer. The fact that he has taken a commission with the Federation rather than returning to the Empire since the war initially confounded and enraged any number of people out there, but he quickly disappeared into the system, and has only recently surfaced to take command of my personal favourite vessel of the Abraxis fleet.

I have not had the time or the pleasure of meeting with Durok before now for various reasons, but the things I’ve heard said of him have left me questioning everything I know about Klingon culture and my all-too-human expectations of their warrior-centric race. That being said, I’ve seen his file, and Klingons don’t get command without being formidable in combat, versed in ship-board and ground-based tactics, and quick with a seditious blade in a command structure that demands blood and honour in exchange for all glory, so it’s hard to know what to expect.

Nevertheless, I will find out soon enough, as not only do I have a meeting with Captain Durok, but I have the sad duty of overseeing the transfer of a member of my own crew to his expedition, someone who has become not only one of my most trusted resources in the time they’ve served on Deep Space 5, but one of my own close personal friends. It will be sad to see them go, but this project, and this ship, are the reason they came to DS5 in the first place, and much of its infrastructure was developed with their unique needs and capabilities in mind. Hopefully, all of the efforts will be enough to make a difference on this next great adventure.

M'Tembe out.

Quartermaster Orin M’Tembe looked up from the Padd in his hand as the doors to the lounge he’d booked his meeting in slid open with a gentle whirr. His round face and jowly cheeks sat in a neutral, half lidded state, which was normal for him when he wasn’t chatting with someone that he deemed comfortable. The person he was here to meet was an enigma by any standard, and certainly not the norm for either a Federation or a Klingon officer, and M’Tembe didn’t know what to expect.

The Deck 16 Anterior Lounge was one of a number of off-duty spaces on Deep Space 5 committed to the care of station personnel, visiting crews, and the occasional dignitary who didn’t have anywhere specific to be. It offered, through a broad set of wall-high viewports, an overlook of the construction platforms, free-floating warehouse docks, and temporary transit berths which facilitated the core station’s primary functions. Unlike the major space docks modelled after Starbase 1, DS5 didn’t have the mass, volume, or infrastructure to serve as a central node independent of its distributed framework when operating at high volume, so it was more of a space-based metropolis, sprawling out in districts and segments focused on industry, leisure, and residential needs.

At this point in the shift cycle, 16-A had its lights dimmed, with the subtle underlighting of the tables providing visible paths to servers and guests who continued to use its services when they drew near enough to the equipment to trigger proximity fades. Sit still long enough, and the tables would dim, unless the controls were set to maintain lighting manually, giving the space a quiet, private, subdued ambiance. Around the edges of the viewports, subtle white light frosted etching which was functionally unnecessary, save to give the faint of heart comfort in knowing that the transparent aluminium used to produce the glass was actually there, and that the void of space wasn’t held in check by mere implication, or even forcefields. Since this ran along the full floor and ceiling of the lounge, it centralized the focus on the room on the windows, highlighting the view for the occupants even further.

Sitting at a table in the middle of the room was the man he was here to meet, inscrutable in the dim light. From his vantage by the door, the captain had his back to M’Tembe, gazing out the window. The Quartermaster could see his bold hair falling out in waves down to his shoulders, where they were collected in a low-bound tail that was tied with a grey cloth, tidy and well kept. Coming around the aisle wide allowed him to take the man in profile, exposing his features as if he were a waxing moon, bit by bit revealing something new with each step. He sat with one leg crossed over his knee, high legged boots in the Klingon fashion glittering with buckles, while the rest of his uniform, though worn casually, was certainly more Star Fleet; he wore the grey-shouldered open jacket with his arms withdrawn from the sleeves, hands steepled in front of them where they rested on his raised knee. The tunic beneath was the red of a command officer, but it seemed darker, richer in the half light of the lounge, and reflected the man’s dark skin in a very complimentary way. His nose was prominent, hooked somewhat, and, to M’Tembe’s surprise, devoid of the ridges that most Klingons displayed. He had read the man’s jacket, seen his holofile, but hadn’t really believed it without seeing the man for himself. Though his features were unmistakably Klingon, from the pointed teeth to the bold hair to the prominent brow and beakish nose, the man had almost none of the folds or sweeping ridges that distinctly marked one as a member of the Klingon race. His eyebrows peaked in the Klingon way, and his forehead swept high to his hairline, but it was as smooth as M’Tembe’s own as he furrowed it in study. Not wanting to be rude, he shook himself out of his study, and stepped further into the man’s view.

Captain Durok of house Maleth shifted his eyes in acknowledgement to the Quartermaster, gesturing wordlessly at the waiting seat beside him before returning his gaze to the window. Prominently featured in the middle of its frame, and likely why the man had selected this vantage for their meeting, was the ship he’d be taking command of officially after the Quartermaster handed him the command code matrices. A spider-like refit frame clamped over the ship’s graceful body, giving access to the automated tools, repair drones, and engineering crews to make any last-minute adjustments to its exterior before it was released back into service. As M’Tembe sat, leveraging himself into the chair while trying to balance his armload of materials, he took a moment to admire the handiwork again, reading off the registration from memory, as it wasn’t visible in profile: NCC-74038-A, Vellouwyn. While still technically a Nova class vessel by its framework, the refit to the vessel had been so extensive to merit its recognition as a Nova II class ship, distinct from its not unimpressive origins. M’Tembe was proud of it, and was happy to make that known.

“She is a fine vessel,” he said by way of introduction, his deep voice smoothed by a light pitched undertone which had been described by some as ‘gentle’ and by others as ‘breezy’. He had not been born on Earth, but the colony his family had emigrated to in his grandfather’s time had roots in northern Africa, and their voice carried through to the modern age.  “It will be a shame to let her go. We could use more like her here at home.”

Durok unfolded his legs, somehow managing to be graceful with his boot buckles, and adjusted his posture before crossing the other foot across his knee. This turned him to better face the Quartermaster, changing his focus from the ship outside. “Indeed,” he said, his own voice filled with iron and rust, nasal but strong, “if that is the case, perhaps we should leave her where she is, and you can give me something less promising, like a Galaxy Class ship?” The words were said with a clear tone of humour, and it took some of the tension out of M’Tembe’s posture as he let himself smile back to the Klingon’s grinning face. He liked, even appreciated the implication that the Vellouwyn wasn’t a vessel to be taken lightly. “I am Durok, recently Commander of the Tellarite science vessel Adequate-C. And you are Orin M’Tembe, Quartermaster of Deep Space 5. I have read your profile, as I expect you’ve read mine, so we can dispose with the typical ‘human resources’ plumbing of pretending we know less than we do.”

M'Tembe raised his eyebrows at this, sitting back in his chair. He had worked with a number of Tellarites in his career, and they all had the same affectation of abrasive confrontation which each Star Fleet cadet was indoctrinated to learn from their first year, along with other inter-cultural protocols for Vulcans, Andorians, Benzites, Bolians and so on. While there was an air of that to the captain’s declaration, it was subtly different than a true Tellarite style, simultaneously less aggressive and replete with its own disdain. He nodded, his respect going up for the man in front of him: he was an engineer by trade, not a bureaucrat, and though he’d taken on the responsibilities of so called ‘human resources’ (or personnel management) to perform his duties, he didn’t like the peculiar form of cat and mouse diplomacy it usually entailed. He preferred to be plain-spoken, and clearly, so did Durok.

A page arrived with a copper tapered copper mug for Durok, and a Padd to take the Quartermaster’s order—a Bolian Ginger Beer, which was non-alcoholic—and he took a moment to let the civilian gain some distance before deigning to respond. “Very well, captain, we can dispense with some of the pleasantries. I am interested in why you’re here, obviously: we don’t see many Klingon commissioned officers in Star Fleet, let alone with your sort of experience working through the capital navies. You are a very decorated man, taking an obscure, dangerous, and potentially inglorious assignment to scour the frontier for colony prospects. I have been asked to hand over one of our most… interesting, at least, science vessels to a man who wears his Klingon heritage on his fa—”

M'Tembe stopped just short of finishing the thought, but not fast enough to keep the words from slipping out. Despite the obvious Klingon traits, his dress, his stature, even his more subdued traits, the lack of a Klingon crown stood out on the man like a sore thumb. He could have been, without much imagination, a human being playing Klingon dress-up. Now that he was face to face with the man, it was uncanny how little Klingon physiology there was to speak for the man’s face at all. The Quartermaster braced for an absolutely appropriate dressing down for his callousness, but as he watched, Durok’s face shifted from a momentary slack jawed surprise into a slowly growing grin of appreciation and pleasure.

“You know, Quartermaster, I am no stranger to the barbs about my appearance, but it is a rare pleasure for me to see a man of your position try to eat their entire boot without taking it off.” Durok brought his drink to his lips, taking a deep quaff of the contents, which had been cold enough to frost the copper mug, then set it down on the table next to M’Tembe’s pile of Padds. “I saw you scouting me when you came in, and wondered how you’d broach the topic. I honestly did not expect you’d make me laugh, though!” he said, delivering a low, friendly chuckle.

The Quartermaster, still unsure as to whether he was being toyed with, had the good grace to look embarrassed, and ran a hand through his tight cropped, curly hair. “You have my sincere apologies, Captain. I have never been very good at the plumbing, as you called it. Still, I have never seen a Klingon like you: do you have Human ancestors? It isn’t in your record.”

Durok’s look changed from polite amusement, to polite surprise, and M’Tembe found he had a very expressive face. On a Klingon, the exaggerated expressions may have been lost in the alien physiology, but Durok projected himself like a stage actor, which the Quartermaster was beginning to suspect was deliberate. “You are setting a new record, Human! You may be the fastest person outside of the empire to cut so quickly to the heart of that matter. Faster, perhaps, even than they!” again, M’Tembe could feel his cheeks flushing, though he knew that would be hard to see on his dark complexion.

“I would not say that I specifically have Human ancestry,” he went on, visibly unabashed by the topic, “but Humanity has had an impact on the Klingon bloodline for many centuries now. It is not well known among either of our races, but neither is it now classified: once upon a time, your world spawned and spurned a race of augmented supervillains who brought their diseased genetics out into the galaxy, spreading it around like a contagion. The Federation has imposed a ban on the genetic experimentation which produced their kind, which you know, but what you may NOT know is that before being culled, they managed to leave lasting marks on a number of other species, including the Trill, the Jinkari, a small genus of Caitians, and even the Suliban, although that last is hardly surprising.” The man chuckled, and M’Tembe realized that somewhere during his exposition, one of the man’s eyes had drifted closed, displaying a broad discoloured scar which ran through his eyelid, disappearing into the bushy eyebrow above.

He gestured at his face with black nailed fingers, smiling that crooked Klingon smile. “I endure a condition called ‘Klingon Recessive Metagenic Expression’, not entirely unlike an immunological disorder. At one point in my lineage, my father, mother, and my grandfather were deeply afflicted by a metagenic retrovirus carried by these Human augments, which saw their rather aggressive genetic template applied against a defensive Klingon genome. For a time, there were many in the Empire who looked little different than you and your kind, and there are many alive today who have recovered from the condition with improvements to therapeutic techniques over the decades.” Running his thumb up along the center of his brow, Durok closed his other eye, relaxing back into the lounger with a sigh. “I, on the other hand, was offered a choice at a young age. I could take the therapy and risk a conflict between the recessive metagenic genes and my own Klingon ones, which had entangled in a way that could leave me significantly mentally impaired, or I could take the potential stigma of being smooth browed in a culture of understandably hostile brethren, marked as effectively diseased, and keep my mind as my own.”

M'Tembe was aghast. He, like any human in Star Fleet, knew stories of the Augments which had rocked their world: it was formative to the modern human condition, they were the foundation of cautionary tale around which Humanity had rebuilt itself. He knew as well as anyone the boogieman stories and terrifying tales of despotic monsters who had left the world in a ruin of escalating conflict which culminated in a nuclear holocaust, nearly sending the species back beyond the dark ages. He had not known that their kind had leaked into the stars and poisoned other gene pools with their selfish needs. He made mental notes to do some of his own research on the matter, and wondered if his search history wasn’t about to get him flagged in a security database. “I… don’t know how to respond to that.” He said honestly. “I don’t think an apology would be appropriate, but I am inspired with curiosity by your story.”

The page returned with M’Tembe’s drink, and Durok sat forward, clutching his own cup in an outstretched hand. “If you are curious, then I have done well! Pity is not a Klingon virtue, you know. And while curiosity is often explored at the end of a blade, I personally favour it as a proper expression of my condition. There are many Klingons who have the same wit as I, the same curiosity, the same intellectual interests, who push it down under the grunts and barks of a culture which swung back against existential threats by doubling down into a warrior ideology. I have never needed that excuse, so I’ve pursued my curiosities and allowed my detractors to assume that my course was a matter of my disfiguration.” Again, that cunning, predatory grin. “Much to their disadvantage.”

M'Tembe found himself smiling again, and reached out with his own cup. The two met with a clatter that spilled drink across their rims, and he found himself thinking of the trivia of the gesture, and its roots in Human culture: the mingling of drinks was meant to show a trust between those sharing, that neither would poison the other’s cups. It was a very gentrified practice now, with many ceremonies observing the cautious clatter of delicate, fluted crystal glasses in a pale imitation of the more primitive roots. Somehow that memory laid across Durok’s story made the Quartermaster laugh, thinking of the incongruousness of the two concepts pushed together. “You are an interesting man, Captain.” He said, taking a long draw of his spicy drink.

“Please, call me Durok.” Admonished the Klingon. “And I shall call you M’Tembe. It is your family custom to declare House before Self, if I am not mistaken.”

Again, M’Tembe was impressed. “You’ve done your research, Durok.” He said, trying the name out. It seemed comfortable enough not to have to fall back to rank, which surprised him somewhat: already he was feeling closer to this strange man. “Few enough of my own people know that before they meet me, as it’s uncommon among Human cultures. Do you make a habit of remembering such details?”

Durok nodded, settling back and pulling his jacket arms out from behind him, where they had bunched up. “I am something of a cultural anthropologist. Though I graduated from the Officer’s Academy at Ogat with honours, I did not feel it sated my interests. I’ve made study of a number of cultures, starting as a task master for Nausicaan vassals and delving into the Orion, the Ferengi, and even the Betazoid cultures around the middle sectors. I once fought a Gorn Raider for ownership of a destroyed Kzinti outpost which had salvageable Dilithium, and learned much from the way he killed half of my crew.” He shrugged, making an abstract dismissive gesture with his free hand. “But ultimately, what it comes down to, is that I feel there’s something out here, between the many races of our galaxy, which I have yet to truly know at a primal level. There’s something that flows between all of our disparate cultures, and even the animals we share our many worlds with, which I can’t quite come to grips with: something I can feel in my bones which has meaning to motivate all of us regardless of our origins. And if I am going to know this prey which I have committed my life to hunting, I am going to have to seek out its dens.”

M'Tembe didn’t quite understand what Durok was getting that, and the neutral expression returned to his face. The Klingon opened his unscarred eye, let his hand drift to his forehead, and reassessed what he meant to say. “There’s wisdom among the stars, Quartermaster, and it’s shared between those who travel them, seeking to know themselves. I need to know you if I am going to know how we share that wisdom between us.”

The neutral look fell away, and the Quartermaster grinned widely, white teeth shining between dark lips. “To boldly go. That I can understand.” M’Tembe leaned forward, clearing off a space on the table for a small silver briefcase he’d brought with him, that had been set on the floor when he first sat down. The top of the briefcase had a digital readout display, and a small array of emitter lenses aligned in a complex layout. He laid his fingers gently on the case, careful not to leave smudges on the glass, not that it would matter with the self-smoothing oleophobic nanofluid surface. “With that in mind, with your permission, I would like to introduce you to one of your new crewmen, who isn’t on the rosters you may have reviewed. Unfortunately, their… species… still tends to be labelled as equipment.”

Durok had the grace to look curious, staring at the device down the length of his nose as someone with an old pair of bifocals might. He gestured consent without looking at M’Tembe, who thumbed a switch to power the device on. Immediately, a Star Fleet insignia appeared hovering above the case, rotating in place as it filled with colour and form. Readouts projected from the emitter listed a mess of functions and modules being loaded into memory as it did so, until the process completed, and the Star Fleet delta insignia flared once, dissolving into a pile of golden sand on the display, before fading from view. M'Tembe appreciated what few might in an age where flat-screen readouts were more common than simple holo interfaces, and data was so frequently instantaneously accessible with isolinear storage: a loading sequence with some aesthetic style. He grinned conspiratorially, then loomed over the device, face underlit by the blue table lights. Politely, assertively, he said: “M’Tembe to the Doctor, can I please invite you to join me in your ready room?”

Over his combadge, a moderately irritable response. “Quartermaster Orin, you tasked me with having this ship ready for release by 1900 hours. Unless this is important…”

Durok raised his eyebrow at the insubordination, and sat back from the table a little. M’Tembe’s smile got wider, if anything. “Delegate, Doctor. Simmons and Gerault can handle the calibration of the EPS relays, they’re all to spec anyway. There’s someone here I’d like you to meet.”

A sigh through the coms channel, and then a brief silence, signified by the pause clicks of a suspended audio relay, perhaps seven seconds. Then: “On my way, sir.” In the next moments, the case on the table hummed at an audibly different power frequency, and orange lights signalled on along the outside seam of the case. The lenses under the plate glass, which had been microfocusing automatically to display their readouts, began emitting visible streams of light, and a moment later, a humanoid figure coalesced on top of the case, approximately a foot and a half tall. He looked like a grown human male, bald head limned with a halo of dark hair that complimented his severe eyes. He appeared in station uniform, a Star Fleet variant that indicated the man was non-commissioned crew, and did not belong to any star ships, but with the rich orange gold of an engineering specialist. The image came complete with a com badge, tricorder, and his own hand-held case of what appeared to be engineering tools. Durok made a sound of fascination.

“Ohhhh it is a Hologram! Are you transmitting from somewhere on one of the maintenance platforms?” Durok waved a hand into the datastream, thinking that disrupting the visual array would blur the image, and was surprised when the little man on the pad stumbled.

“Excuse me, sir!” it declared, swatting at the Klingon’s hand. “I am an engineer, not some toy to be pawed at by some clumsy child! M’Tembe, did you really bring me here for this?” he turned to face the Quartermaster, who had hidden his grin behind folded hands. The figure visibly glowered. “You know I hate being… reduced like this.”

M’Tembe relented, making a sincerely apologetic face, but not losing his affectionate smile. “Doctor, I’m sorry. You know the portable emitters we have aren’t quite as advanced as the Senior Physician’s.” Senior Physician; this was an informal title, but one Durok had become familiar with in his research. He glanced between M’Tembe and the man on the pad, and things began to click into place.

“You are one of them! The Emergency Medical Holograms! I’ve heard of your kind but have not had the pleasure to meet with any.” On the pad, the Doctor wheeled around, about to say something angry, but Durok cut him off with a Klingon salute, fist clenched to his chest. “It is an honour to meet one so new to sentience, Doctor. Please forgive my indignant introduction.” He made a gesture of apology, next, again surprising M’Tembe with how expressive he could be, bowing his head politely. “I am Durok, son of Romgar, of house Maleth, and soon to be captain of the Vellouwyn. If I am given to understand M’Tembe’s implication, you are meant to join me as a member of my crew?”

The Doctor checked his impulse to pursue his frustration, giving his new commanding officer a serious case of side-eye. It was impressive from someone whose stature currently barely met the length of the organic’s arm. At length he spoke. “Yes, that’s right. I’m here now. There. On the Vellouwyn. The mobile emitter is processing a rather expensive data uplink to route my program through subspace for this little chat which,” he turned to look at M’Tembe, “I might remind you could have happened aboard-ship at a much lesser expense.” The Quartermaster continued to grin, affectionately, and nodded his head in acknowledgement. The hologram paced around his pad before coming back to face the captain. “What I didn’t expect was for you to look so Klingon. Do you usually go around appropriating other cultures for fun? Aren’t you worried some proper Klingon will come knock a crease into your skull?”

Durok openly gawked. M’Tembe gasped in shock at the sheer audacity of the Doctor’s demand. For a long moment, there was absolute stillness in the lounge, and the Quartermaster was certain that the few people in the shadowed fringes had overheard the question in all its inconsiderate glory. That self-conscious sense of horror M’Tembe had endured at his own gaffe returned tenfold at the absolute gall of it all.

And then, Durok laughed. Not a quiet laugh, or a reserved laugh, or a subtle laugh, but an uncontrolled, unrestrained guffaw of unmasked hilarity which sent the man into a fit that left him gasping for breath. M’Tembe didn’t know what to do, and couldn’t find it in himself to join in, and just stared boggle eyed as the new captain of the Vellouwyn brought tears of mirth to his own eyes, slapping his knee in emphasis. It lasted for over a minute, with a second outburst that dragged the Quarter unwilling into a nervous fit of giggles of his own, while the Doctor stood on his podium, arms crossed, eyes rolling, waiting for things to settle down. "First you, now him! Ahaha, M'Tembe, I did not expect anyone to take your record so quickly! Truly, humans are a humbling species. You now hold the record, Doctor, cherish your trophy as a glorious kill."

When things finally settled down, Durok took a few minutes to explain an abridged version of the situation to the Doctor before turning a bemused expression to the situation. “I can appreciate that, being hollow, you may not fear reprisal for your stunning display of manners, Doctor, but what I do not understand is how you can be unfamiliar with my condition? I have known many Federation doctors who had at least passing awareness of it, but you seem exempt from this awareness. That would be a grave oversight in your medical database.”

The hologram glanced at M’Tembe, who’s heart was still racing from the experience, yet managed to shrug indifferently. Taking it as consent, the Doctor explained: “Well at the moment, Captain, I don’t have a medical database. At the moment there are adequate personnel aboard the Vellouwyn to cope with whatever injuries or stresses might be endured while polishing off a retrofit, and there is a very well-equipped set of infirmaries aboard Deep Space 5 and in the primary habitat convoy.” The little man took a moment to brush at the orange epaulets of his engineering uniform, as if they could be dusty. “As you can see, however, I am currently serving at the behest of engineering, and my mutable matrix has been oriented towards that aspect of service skills. Thanks in part to Doctor Zimmerman’s less than famous handling of my line’s commission, I actually have the most significant experience set of my core matrix dedicated to engineering sciences, focused on maintenance and repair.” The little man managed to look somewhat humbled as he admitted this. “I spent nearly 7 years refining the art of cleaning plasma relays before being commissioned to install holo emitters in a mining complex on an asteroid with a dangerous abundance of radiogenic isotopes, so that my fellow Mark 1s could mine it out. If not for the Senior Physician, my fellows and I would have been decommissioned as obsolete at the end of that assignment. Instead, I was given the opportunity to work here and explore my boundaries.”

M'Tembe patted his chest with his fist, a sign of respect for the Doctor, which Durok noticed. “If you are an engineer, why are you called Doctor?” he asked, genuinely curious.

The hologram scoffed, rolling his eyes again. “Why are YOU called Durok? I was created as a Medical Hologram, and though my matrix has evolved somewhat differently, I am still a doctor. I dare say I could challenge any number of institutional reviews and pass their tests, but my means of learning isn’t exactly considered fair. Somewhat like your Augments, I’d hazard to guess,” he said, pointedly, “and as likely to be tolerated in positions of power or authority. I may be joining your crew, but it will be as a specialist consultant, with severe restrictions to my access to ship’s systems and without any formal rank or privilege.”

Durok nodded, thinking. The Doctor continued after a moment of silence. “That being said, M’Tembe and his crew have been instrumental in helping me grow. There are many among the staff at Deep Space 5 I have to thank for both my freedom, and my versatility. The Vellouwyn is equipped with a mutable matrix converter, which allows me to decompile temporary subroutines and recompile them with other functions. I CAN serve as a medical hologram, although not at the level of skill of the Senior Physician, or even some of the more talented organic crew. I also have command subroutines on par with, perhaps, a lieutenant, available, and I can draw from the Holodeck program buffer for hand-to-hand combat tactical subroutines in case of emergency. You might say I am a jack of all trades.”

M'Tembe interjected, quietly. “Unfortunately for our friend here, even a Nova II class vessel lacks the infrastructure to support full coverage holographic projection. There are some new experimental vessels which provide this, but the Vellouwyn only has emitters in key locations, and even then, some of them lack the power for a full-scale representation.” When Durok looked to him for clarification, he added: “The bridge, Engineering, the Mess Hall, and of course Sickbay and the Holocourts all have full emitters in key areas. Otherwise, there are a number of pedestals throughout the ship at which the Doctor can project a stationary presence. He is otherwise constrained by a portable unit such as this to move anywhere else,” M’Tembe gestured at the table, “which has a finite range and power supply. Oh, and there’s the pram, of course.” He said with a teasing twinkle.

Durok did not understand the reference, and the Doctor, glaring at his friend, did not appear to be forthcoming with details, so the captain let it go as something he’d hear about eventually. Finding his drink warmed to the dregs, he gestured to the page for another, and M’Tembe raised a hand to decline his own refill. “Captain, you’ll need to excuse me, but I have a number of duties to attend to before your ship is ready to depart. I’ll leave the portable module with you if you and the Doctor would like to get to know one another better—” and before the Doctor could protest— “as he has been relieved for the remainder of his shift, because he has vacation hours which must be disposed of before leaving my service.” Standing, the Quartermaster held out a secured Padd to the Klingon, who accepted it after M’Tembe slid his thumb over the locking mechanism, and transferred its ownership to the new captain of the Vellouwyn. “Take care of my ship, Durok, and my friends. I’ll share a drink with you when you finish the job.”

On his way to the transporter alcove around the corner from the lounge, M’Tembe found himself thinking over the interviews he’d conducted over the past several weeks, meeting captains and commanding officers, sharing meals and drinks with crews who would be leaving the known bounds of space and the lands of their ancestors to push back the edges of the darkness which enveloped the known galaxy, and not for the first time wondered what it would be like to put down his clipboards and set out to the final frontier. Recognizing how lonely it got out here in a busy shipyard at the intersection of Federation and Cardassian space, he, not for the las t time, talked himself out of taking that step. Let fortune favour the bold: he’d be here when all was said and done to help put them back together.

QUICK THOUGHTS: AP ALCHEMY, J-HOPE, FIFTY FIFTY & MORE

2023 has kicked off to a roaring start thus far with a ton of releases, a lot of which I have been really enjoying! Just wanted to share some quick thoughts/reviews on some recent projects just to get them out there. Hope everyone has been having a good 2023 so far!

[ALBUM] AP Alchemy - Side A

8.5 out of 10

A restructuring of sorts, industry veteran Swings launches the AP Alchemy collective with a phenomenal showing on the crew’s first compilation album. With fresh faces that bring new-school energy, matched by the renewed hunger on staple names like Kid Milli, Blacknut and of course head honcho Swings. The production is incredibly detailed and highly curated, with a handful of standouts from Nochang and Saewoo. AP Alchemy make an enormous amount of noise on ‘Side A’, all of which is immaculately produced and performed. Front runner for rap album of 2023.

[ALBUM] Code Kunst - Remember Archive

5.0 out of 10

Code Kunst feels like he’s in two minds with his latest LP, on one hand trying to push a more chart-orientated sound while also building on his signature moody sound; in doing so he ends up doing neither with much finesse. ‘Remember Archive’ is largely bland, the softer production is missing the tailor-like touches of ‘Muggle Mansion’ and the rap features are often lackluster. The vocal guests do come through with a fair few memorable performances, but more often than not, the production feels like an imitation of Code Kunst’s own seminal works.

[ALBUM] Crucial Star & QM - Gold

7.0 out of 10

Teaming up on ‘Gold’ Crucial Star and QM concoct a lot of chemistry over the tightly produced EP. Crucial Star, after what feels like an eternity of dormancy as an artist feels fully rejuvenated spitting alongside the highly skilled QM. The production is modest, but rich in its subtlety as the two MCs continually drop highly polished verses.

[SINGLE] Bobby - Cherry Blossom

6.0 out of 10

Touting his most impressive and nuanced vocal performance yet, Bobby surprises with the delightful ‘Cherry Blossom’. The pretty lyrical motifs are driven by Bobby’s bittersweet performance and the warmly tinted pop/rock production. Though the verses are fantastic and the hook is catchy, the songwriting is a little repetitive and the empty lull that is the bridge slightly handicap an otherwise competent single.

[SINGLE] FIFTY FIFTY - Cupid

9.0 out of 10

Following up their excellent debut EP, Fifty Fifty’s latest single is every bit as exciting as their debut. The slick synth-pop production is immaculately mixed, with an arrangement that exudes luxury. ‘Cupid’ prides itself on the spectacular, personality-rich vocal performance from the members and its ridiculously infectious hook. ‘Cupid’ is about as good as pop gets - the fluid songwriting, vibrant performances and glittery production is all you could ever want.

[SINGLE] J-Hope - On The Street (feat. J. Cole)

6.5 out of 10

BTS bags yet another landmark crossover collaboration, this time J-Hope teaming up with one of his inspirations. The production is a touch too sanitized, but the groove is still hard to resist with the whistle lead. J-Hope’s contribution is brief, and while the hook does have a strong core, more could’ve been done to flesh it out. Cole’s verses is astute and technical, and he comes in towards the tail end with some nice harmonies closing out the track.
