Can I ask for platonic & romantic hcs of Tangerine from Bullet Train? I recently watched the movie and fell in love with him 🥰

Yandere Tangerine (Platonic & Romantic Headcanons)

Warnings: Strong and Bloody Violence, Mention of Strangulation, Use of Firearms, Toxic Mindsets.

Platonic:

This relationship is knee-deep in the blood of underlings and revolves around Tangerine assimilating his friend into the life of an assassin. He works to integrate them into the team in his own prickly way, which often boils down to Tangerine slaying the target in front of his friend and leaving them no choice but to join the hit.

Compassion is not one of his strong suits, but neither is patience. Coming to him with complaints about others' rudeness will result in, at best, an exchange of insults for these people and, at worst, the advice to chin up and tell those buggers to piss off. However, a severe or persistent problem with someone is no match for Tangerine's mastery of killing and body disposal.

He can count on Lemon to have his back in this respect. Although Lemon agrees that anyone dumb enough to threaten a friend of the Twins deserves to fall through a woodchipper, he raises concerns after seeing how Tangerine treats this kill as a personal vendetta rather than a professional courtesy.

He has a moment of clarity when Lemon says he is acting like a Diesel. Tangerine resents this accusation and rejects it for a period, but he soon realises that Lemon knows his trains and would not draw such a conclusion without good reason. While far too stubborn to change his behaviour in any significant capacity, Tangerine will be more discreet about revealing how badly he wishes to strangle the latest sap who picked a fight with his friend.

Romantic:

Once Tangerine shares his first kill with his partner, his brother Lemon reads this new team member and assigns them a fitting Thomas the Tank Engine sticker. Should Lemon decide on an unflattering sticker, such as a Diesel, Tangerine insists that he has got it wrong and that this one is a good egg.

Tangerine only has so much time he can spend with his partner before he must answer the call of another job, as is the nature of his profession. Still, a burner phone here and a secure line there allow him to contact them if he is feeling paranoid or needs to know whether he left the swords at home.

Even if his partner has demonstrated an ability to defend themselves in verbal battles, Tangerine will step forward to berate and belittle whoever mouths off to them. Lemon tells them it is best to sit and sip on some bubble milk tea because this could take a few minutes, while Tangerine rips into the person with a fury that doubles if he finds any hostility redirected towards him.

Tangerine has a short fuse even at the best of times, so if anyone but Lemon is aware of his relationship with his partner and threatens to act on this information, he will shoot the person point-blank or die trying. The last thing he needs is his partner's identity getting leaked to other assassins and criminal syndicates who would jump at the opportunity to have leverage against him. To avoid this, his partner moves with him whenever he takes a job in another country or stays in a safe house for the foreseeable future.

Since Alya and Chloe are done, I can get into some of the other potential topics of discussion from the last poll, namely

Tikki & Plagg MTS

And why we decided to ruin them (we’re sorry y’all)

Tikki and Plagg kinda start out the story as morally grey (if not downright sinister) characters who antagonize their holders. (Well, at first the two try to get on their holders good side so they’ll do what they want, but when that falls through…) This was partially done to drive the plot (as I’ll explain later) and partially to further characterization (experimenting with the Kwami as complex characters who aren’t “the good guys” in every case. Also less to “fix” their canon selves, as Plagg especially had a strong personality in the OG, and more to take them in a different, MTS suited, direction.)

Tikki has the power of creation, but she also represents order. She believes herself to be a perfect, virtuous being who always knows what’s best (she also genuinely thinks she’s helping, but is pretty deluded in this front). This causes her to be arrogant and controlling, and primarily manifests in her relationship with Marinette through their interactions and the Miracle Cure.

Much like the original story, Tikki frequently tries to teach Marinette lessons on how to be a proper person. The key difference, is that she encourages selflessness and excellence even when it isn’t necessary, and some of Marinette’s ���faults” aren’t actually things that she does wrong (Tikki is the type to lecture Marinette for an extended period of time about patience and compassion just because she got slightly annoyed at someone for being rude). In many regards, this Tikki can also be quite hypocritical on this front.

For those unfamiliar, the Miracle Cure now has the consequence of sapping its users with energy in order to repair all the damage. Tikki conveniently “forgets” to mention this little detail to Marinette, and constantly stresses how everything depends on her to stay in order. When Marinette realizes what the ability has been doing to her and renounces it, Tikki frequently guilt trips her for being “selfish”. (Tikki being more obsessed with control and opposed to any sort of disarray was integral to furthering Marinette’s end of the S1 powers plot)

Eventually Tikki does come to accept that she was wrong to have such unfair expectations for Marinette, along with ignoring her own faults and wanting the world to be in a rigid, constant “perfection”. (Witnessing Chloe behave like a little brat, while noticing how she is equally demanding of Marinette, probably helps Tikki get a reality check). Character Growth Tikki will still be different from Miracubug Tikki, as her new attempts to help Marinette will be a lot more awkward than OG Tikki. She also retains a bit of sass, so she’s rarely completely nice and friendly in demeanor.

Plagg, being Tikki’s opposing force, represents chaos in addition to destruction. He likes to run around doing whatever he wants and shaking them up as much as possible. He cares very little about who or what gets damaged in the process, and doesn’t even try to fool himself into thinking he’s a good guy (rip Miracubug Plagg 😢).

For what it’s worth, he does like Adrien when he first meets him, seeing him as a kindred spirit looking for freedom in a world determined to tie him down. However, he doesn’t like him enough to warn him about the harmful effect the Wildcat ability has on his mind. This is mostly due to Plagg’s love for the destructive, chaotic nature of the ability (Kwami physically can’t use their powers without their holder due to the Miraculous’s inhibitive function, so this is the closed either Kwami gets to having their natural power again). That being said, Plagg’s warped affection for Adrien is an additional motivation (thinking that him losing all self control and succumbing to every instinct he has is an “improvement” to being restrained in anyway).

When Adrien renounces the power, Plagg feels very annoyed that Adrien is now rejecting that wild part of his powers and as a result is “looking down on him”. Plagg frequently taunts Adrien, telling him that without the Wildcat, he’ll just go back to being that miserable, obedient boy that he was when he first got the miraculous.

When Plagg does come to care about Adrien, as well as appreciate the existence of things other than him (and is now more reluctant to the blind destruction of everything), he is a bit more similar to his Miracubug self. The main difference being that he’s a bit more energetic (though still prone to bouts of laziness) and not as good at expressing himself verbally, preferring to physically comfort Adrien instead.

I think that’s all of the relevant details. (@dumblr-account, remind me if I missed something super important.) I know I didn’t structure this like the typical character notes post, and that’s because the Kwami, while still complex in their own right, don’t have quite as much going on as the human characters (mainly due to age and backstory differences).

This article delves into the evolution, adoption, and impact of ERP systems within the UAE's business landscape. By exploring the unique challenges and opportunities presented by the UAE's dynamic economy, we can better understand how ERP software has become an indispensable tool for organizations seeking efficiency, integration, and scalability.

Charting the Course to SAP HANA Cloud

The push towards SAP HANA cloud shift stems from the need for agility and responsiveness in a dynamic business climate. The cloud promises reduced infrastructure expenses, robust data analytics, and the nimbleness to address changing needs quickly. However, for many companies, transitioning from on-premise SAP HANA to the cloud involves navigating concerns around data security, performance, and potentially relinquishing control of business-critical ERP systems.

SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud: A Tailored Offering

In light of these challenges, SAP presented the SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud (HEC), a private cloud service designed expressly for mission-critical workloads. HEC advertises no compromise on performance, integration, security, failover, or disaster recovery. It spotlights versatility, strong customer support, and end-to-end coverage - from strategic planning to application management. This offering intends to provide the cloud’s agility and innovation under SAP’s direct guidance and expertise.

Actual Delivery of HANA Enterprise Cloud

Despite SAP’s messaging, the HEC’s delivery involves a consortium of third-party providers, including HPE, IBM, CenturyLink, Dimension Data, and Virtustream. SAP collaborates with these partners, who bid on projects often awarded to the lowest bidder, to leverage specialized capabilities while upholding SAP’s standards.

Weighing the Pros and Cons

Partnering with competent vendors ensures clients receive secure, best-practice SAP hosting and support. HEC’s comprehensive solution integrates licensing, infrastructure, and support with touted scalability and integration.

However, several customer challenges emerge. Firstly, leveraging SAP’s brand for cloud hosting and SAP managed services risks diminishing anticipated cost savings. Secondly, the lack of direct engagement with third-party providers raises concerns about entrusting critical ERP operations to unseen partners. This dynamic obscures visibility and control over SAP HANA migration and management.

Furthermore, the absence of a direct relationship between SAP HANA users and cloud suppliers may complicate support, especially for urgent issues warranting rapid response. While SAP’s ecosystem aims to guarantee quality and security, intermediation can hinder the timely resolution of critical situations, affecting system uptime and operations.

SAP HANA Cloud: A Strategic Decision

As SAP systems become increasingly vital, migrating SAP HANA is not simply a technical or operational choice but a strategic one. SAP HANA transcends a database or software suite – it constitutes a competitive advantage that, when optimized, can spur tremendous innovation and success. This migration necessitates meticulous planning, execution, and governance to ensure the transition empowers rather than compromises SAP HANA’s strategic value.

In this context, selecting the ideal cloud model and service providers represents critical decisions. Companies must scrutinize partners beyond cost, evaluating track records, SAP skills, security protocols, and the aptitude to deliver personalized, responsive service.

The Future SAP HANA Cloud Trajectory

As we advance into 2024, the SAP DATA Cloud Analytics landscape continues evolving. Innovations in cloud technology, security, and service creation provide new prospects for migration planning. Firms must stay updated on cloud service advancements, SAP’s strategic direction, and cloud shift best practices to navigate this transition successfully.

To accomplish this, companies should:

Collaborate cross-functionally to align SAP HANA cloud plans with broader business goals and technology roadmaps.

Ensure chosen cloud environments and suppliers meet rigorous data security, privacy, and regulatory standards.

Assess infrastructure ability to support SAP HANA performance requirements and scale amid fluctuating demands.

Institute clear governance and support structures for effective issue resolution throughout and post-migration.

Transitioning SAP HANA to the cloud is complex but ultimately rewarding, unlocking efficiency, agility, and innovation when executed deliberately. By weighing the strategic, operational, and technical dynamics, businesses can drive this migration smoothly, fully capturing SAP HANA’s power to fuel future prosperity.

The Object Of Desire — Chapter Four (Lesson Plan)

Summary: Aerla and Miss G continue to strengthen their bond, and a private diving lesson is had with more on the horizon.

Word Count: 1,340

Warnings: Some suggestive thoughts

As Camille reentered her quarters, she dressed, unable to shake the feeling that keeping secrets from Aerla was unfair. The burgeoning bond between them called for honesty, but Camille couldn't reveal everything just yet. Too much honesty too quickly could be damaging. There were complexities and emotions that she wasn't ready to confront. For now, she had to protect both herself and Aerla.

Deep down, Camille knew her feelings for Aerla went beyond friendship, but it was her careless haste that had burned her the last time. Her concern and worry for her safety were driven by something more than mere duty as a teacher, a fact she readily admitted to herself. But she couldn't allow herself to act on those feelings so suddenly. Without something to build upon, it would only end the same way as before.

The morning dragged on with a slowness that sapped the very life force from Camille. She was less herself when not with Aerla. A silly notion, really, but nonetheless true. She could almost feel her own desperation leaking from her pores. This was not a good look on her, and she would have to pull herself together before anyone called her behavior into question.

Finally the call for lunch reunited Camille with the sight of Aerla, hair frizzy from the night before, having not been properly tended to after her experience in the lake. Aerla caught her eye from across the room and Camille could only hope that the heat she felt rush to her cheeks at being caught looking at her was not noticeable to her pupil. A small smile painted Aerla's lips, a beautiful sight, one that both comforted and tormented Camille.

As it was still early in her integration into the school, Camille found it easy enough to reason that she could go sit with her, make sure she was acclimating appropriately. She was sure enough that she wouldn’t be unwelcome. "Are you this attentive to all your students," Aerla asked as Camille had once again taken the seat across from her. "Or just the ones who nearly drowned?" It was meant to be lighthearted, but Camille's heart dropped remembering what she’d allowed to happen in her presence, a mistake she was unlikely to make again.

Seeing her pleasant expression turn to one more dour, Aerla realized it hadn’t been the right thing to say. Camille remained quiet, too caught up in her own internal struggle. Eventually, Aerla's soft Irish lilt broke the tense silence. "Miss G, I have a favor to ask."

Camille raised an eyebrow, pleased to be pulled away from her spiral into more morose thoughts, and doubly pleased by the casualness with which she’d used the shortened version of her name. "Of course, Aerla. What can I do for you?"

Aerla hesitated for a moment, her gaze fixed on the table between them before meeting Camille's eyes with sudden determination. "I don’t know if I’m suited to be a diver, but I want to get better. Will you train me?"

Camille's heart skipped a beat at Aerla's words. The request was unexpected but echoed the desire she had felt deep within herself. However, she had to be careful. "Private lessons?"

The expression on Aerla's face faltered into one that conveyed some amount of embarrassment or shame, perhaps at not feeling good enough. Camille could hardly fault her after how her first experience went. "At least until we’ve decided that I have what it takes to join the team properly," Aerla offered, not wanting to overstep.

A soft smile graced Camille's lips just then and it soothed some of Aerla's anxieties. "I think that can be arranged. Wednesdays perhaps, after classes conclude for the day? We can even start today if you’d like."

"I would like that very much," Aerla replied, the confidence once again appearing in her tone.

And so they did begin that very day. They'd agreed to meet at the lake and Aerla ran so fast after her final class let out, hurriedly getting back to her room and donning a swimsuit under her uniform that she was scared she wouldn’t even find Miss G there yet. But there she stood on the dock, facing away from her, towards the water, a cigarette in her hand as she blew smoke in the opposite direction. She looked like some kind of elegant painting, Aerla thought.

Aerla walked out to join her and at the sound of her approaching footsteps on the wooden dock, Camille turned around, throwing the cigarette down and gracefully stamping it out beneath her toe. "Are you ready," she asked.

"Yes," Aerla replied, quickly casting off her uniform to show the bathing suit beneath. Camille watched with what she hoped to be a neutral expression, all the while wishing she had been able to take one more, long drag of her cigarette to distract herself.

Aerla climbed up to the diving board her heart racing as she came to stand near its edge. Her eyes were fixed on the dark blue water below. Camille observed with an intensity that went beyond professional scrutiny, her mind not quite letting go of Aerla's figure. What had been made boxy and plain under the standard cut academic uniform now left less to Camille's imagination. The soft and subtle curves of a young girl emerging into womanhood became visible to her, as well as the pale, freckled skin of her arms and legs. The combination was almost too much for her to bear.

Camille cleared her throat, bringing her back to the lesson at hand. Figuring it would serve her best to coach from the water itself, Camille disrobed into her own bathing suit and dived into the lake from the dock. Swimming over to the platform, she gave some words of encouragement. "Focus on your breath, Aerla. Let the water guide you."

With a nod, Aerla inhaled deeply, allowing the cooling air of the late afternoon to fill her lungs. She stepped forward, the board bending beneath her weight. As she leapt into the air, time seemed to slow. Then her world transformed into a liquid embrace as she sliced through the surface of the lake, the water enveloping her.

Beneath the surface, Camille joined her. Their bodies moved in sync with one another as they swam a short distance out. Aerla marveled at the fluid elegance with which Miss G swam. After a seamless dive, they surfaced together. Aerla's chest heaved with exhilaration, and she couldn't ignore the charged atmosphere around them. She was so proud of herself and as Miss G's gaze lingered, she couldn’t help but feel that she was proud of her too. All in all, it had been a great first lesson.

"You are better than you led me to believe," Miss G said as the two of them came out of the lake and began to towel off.

"I suppose anything was better than that first go around. Not exactly my shining moment," Aerla confessed with a laugh while squeezing the water from her hair. "I always enjoyed swimming when my family went on holiday, but I never had any formal training at it, beyond your standard lessons as a kiddie."

Camille took in the information as she toweled herself off. Perhaps she’d had no instruction, but she was a natural. However, a few more one on one sessions wouldn’t be entirely out of the question. Her dive was good, but it had the potential to be great and it meant that she could spend more time with her. "You have what it takes to join the other girls, but if you’d prefer to enhance your skills some more, we could—"

"Yes," Aerla answered quickly. Too quickly, she realized after the fact. "I’d like to be at my best when diving with the other girls."

Camille hummed in approval. She seemed just as eager to spend more time in her company, which must be a good sign. "We shall continue then. I look forward to our next lesson."

To Kill The Gods Chapter One: A House Is Not A Home Content Warnings: Discussions of bigotry, extreme physical and mechanical augmentation, mild non-sexual nudity, drug / nicotine use

Hi. Welcome to Chapter One. Do me a favor okay? Mind the content warnings, I'll try to do them comprehensively on every chapter. Mind the tags, if you want to find story posts easily, search 'Vassal Dash Six Story,' every post will have this tag. If you like my work please reblog I guess, I'd like people to read it. <3 Thank you. ------ As was always the case whenever its 'time to be awake' alarm went off, it woke up with the sound, and let it play for a few moments, until it felt like moving was a little bit easier - stiffness was common, those days. The only work it could find was construction and retrofitting, and since it had the hardware and… physiology… for extreme magic HAZMAT…

Sore, it gestured reflexively as it used its headware to silence the alarm. The creature's bed was simple, little more than a cot with a thin pad on it, as was its preference. As soon as its feet hit cement, it walked the two feet to the 'window,' where it drew the curtains to look outside. Despite attempting to emulate a window, including active head position tracking and syncing with its headware, the damned digiglass still flickered - one of the integration systems was under maintenance, and it had impacted digiglass city-wide.

Allegedly, it was going to be fixed two months prior, but the wheels of the Vegas-4 Urban Reclamation Zone's management council turned… distinctly slowly, because of resource limitations and sheer expense.

With a sigh, it picked up the hot cup of tea that the dispenser on its small, personal table prepared, and took a sip, disquieted by the absence of gear, uncomfortable with the usage of lips. Typically it limited consumption to automatic routines that left its meat numb, but… the tea was hot, and it wasn't looking for more burns.

Outside, from the perspective of EXT-CAM-841 located approximately three floors above, the city was alive with motion. Transport craft based on modified Hellish VTOL engines flitted about, carrying cargo or people, less than a third of them driven by hand. The skywalks were seas of motion, people walking along quarter mile wide pavilions, shopping at stalls…

"Weather," it rasped, cringing at its unchosen voice.

"Weather currently is… unlisted. NAU Meteorological Services are currently on standby due to a thaumic discordance near to the primary detection array," its phone said, sitting on the table by the dispenser.

"That's normal," it murmured, unnerved but… not surprised, explicitly. Vegas-4 had been going to shit for a while. It seemed like the longer the earthbound walled cities ran on, the more and more they broke down. Everyone was focused on Mars, on Luna, on the Moon Egg… down there, in the dirt of their homeworld, things were more and more just… falling apart.

It often pondered… why, but never came to a satisfying conclusion.

The Wall, in the deep distance, towered above it all - the first of its kind, a miracle brought about by the first truly successful mass ritualistic working in human history. On its top, it was green, and covered in the Forest Ring. Sometimes, when it was lucky, it managed to snag logging detail work, and got to go up there - its hardware and modifications were suited to hostile environs, even frigid perpetual winters and thin atmospheres - hookups for atmo tanks were a simple matter, and the posion sap of the mutated trees capable of surviving up there?

It was, by mercy, immune.

It stood there, as the sun clawed its way above the wall, and began to draw lines across the city as its beams cut between the trees and towers. Darkness was a familiar creature to humanity - they had endured it so long it had started to feel like home. Though they were rare, there were still people who eschewed light entirely - the Faceless were sympathetic. To feel light on the skin…

Was all too easy to see how it could be uncomfortable.

Sighing, it finished the tea and looked up at the blue of the sky. For nearly one hundred and fifty years after the Reconnection… all one would see looking up was the Black Accusation, coating the planet in dark, oily clouds that were thickest around The Vast One…

Earth was a scarred place. It took over five hundred years just for the flagging population of the planet to figure out how to unfuck the sky! The Egg of The Vast, the Moon Egg, hung in the sky, dead and inert, permanently aborted before it could birth a twin to their primary problem at that time - Humanity's first victory against the Vast Ones.

The unit couldn't look anywhere without seeing the echoes of the past, of the wars and death, the destruction and adaptation…

When did a rock become little more than a tomb for a tortured past?

These things had weighed heavy on its mind, in the days prior to that, on that morning. The past was a heavy thing, its chains and bones still binding people to ancient beliefs and rituals that made no sense in the modern day - for instance, it couldn't get off the literally god damned rock no matter what it tried. People were still reliant on their biases, and those changed with as much regularity as a clock could tick.

The boom of accepting willing, hard upgraded Faceless onto terraforming effort teams, colony teams, even fucking planet-side land reclaimation teams… had passed, almost at the same time as it made the choice to adopt a visage of choice, and not one of simple happenstance. Regardless of the pervasive nonsense suddenly on the minds of every recruiter, every organizer and every ridiculous head-up-ass logistics director…

It'd pass, and until then, there would always be work for folks like it, even if people didn't want to admit it, wanted to pretend they weren't useful, wanted to act like they were freaks or weirdos or whatever new bullshit they'd come up with. It'd pass, and people would be willing to let it be useful again. Until then, holding pattern. Do its best, as much work as it could that was useful and difficult and-

"Pardon me for the interruption," the building's management AI said, in her measured, clipped tone. Overall, the Unit found her to be quite pleasant, but not really so pleasant intruding on its privacy.

"My settings have not been altered," it said, quietly. "Do you see me?"

"No, Unit, I do not. Protocol does not allow visual settings overrides in any private space. Audio is only available so long as my task is incomplete," it said, speaking to the unit like a fucking person for once. In the presence of others, she was required to be in front-facing mode, which forced a faux sort of clean, sterile cheeriness. "I experience no pleasure from intruding, believe me."

"I do," it replied. "What is it, Nancy?"

"A priority two-fehu communication request has been directed through the Redline System, with your designation on it," the AI replied. The unit looked up, sharply. Two-fehu was high classification - and the Redline System? That was supposed to be for contacting government folks, or contractors, scientists… not random Faceless. "I have not been provided any meaningful information, nor any details."

"Request them, please… I'm sorry," it said, tiredly. Nancy had enough work on her plate managing the building, even with the upgrades to her hardware systems. She was, granted, an L-AI, her neural systems inherently limited - not on purpose, and not for lack of trying. Even the most advanced Hellish AI were L-AI, making the designation almost pointless. No one was even sure if a C-AI, complete versus limited AI, was even possible.

No one was sure Death would allow it.

"All details stated to be classified above L-AI access allowances," she replied, after several moments. "The call is from… hm. The name is concealed by means I am unfamiliar with, but bearing a grant signature."

"Grant signature?"

"Obfuscation of the name is approved by the governing council."

That, it had to admit, was a new one. A name obfuscation? Even Faceless had to adhere to required identification protocols, and in fact, had to do so… much more often than others - another petty inconvenience imposed by old bigotries rearing their heads in new ways.

"…will they be able to alter my visual feed settings?"

"Would it matter, given that all integrated security systems were mapped and those maps were provided to you?" Nancy asked. It chuckled, having installed its own aperture caps over the lenses. No one saw its space unless it opened those.

"No, it would not. Put them through," it replied, bemusedly. "And please don't listen in."

"I could not. I do not have the clearance."

The unit frowned, and then regretted it, and decided that it would gear itself up as soon as possible. The Unchosen Form was particularly grating, that day.

As it walked, nude and unconcerned, across its microscopic single room apartment to the shower, the communication connection was completed, and an augmented reality projection displayed itself on the unit's vision, via optic nerve intercept image injection systems in its headware.

"Hello. I will ask right off the start the following questions," the projection of a vaguely humanoid shadow said, in a deeply neutral voice. Very spy-bullshitty, which made it nervous, so it turned the hot water on and waited. "How do I refer to you? I am, at best, unfamiliar with… Faceless, as it were."

"This one's designation is Vassal Dash Six," it replied, evenly. "Pronouns are explicitly it/its."

"Vassal Dash Six, fascinating… any other names?" the shadow asked. It washed its furlike mane, a modification chosen for the adaptability provided - alongside the thick pads of fur on the outsides of its arms, covering its back. Dusty, grayish-black, it was suitable, and functional.

"This one's previous work group nicknamed it 'Longwalk,' due to its habit of volunteering for the longest haul trips, which usually required significant distance transport of heavy loads," it replied, uncertainly. "Nicknames are often situational and temporary."

"Why volunteer for extra work? Logging is dangerous enough, even with exo-hardware, especially up on the wall in the Forest Circle. Endurance would also be difficult, and require-"

"Because I have spent the majority of all paychecks on significant modifications to my nervous, respiratory and integumentary systems, making me particularly qualified for hazardous and extreme environments, and because I am strong," it replied, stepping out of the shower and onto its drying plate. Like very few, it had chosen to specialize… and specializing meant that the fur lining its arms and back weren't going to dry themselves, nor would a towel do a particularly good job if the unit wanted it to be quick.

"Cold environments? Low oxygen environments?" the shadow asked, as Vassal pulled on a pair of underwear and made sure they were sitting correctly.

"This one is highly specialized for variable temperature extremes, low oxygen environments, toxic and caustic threats to a limited degree, and heavy load lifting," it replied. This was, if it was a job interview, one of the weirdest fucking job interviews it had ever endured. "I am also equipped with a full headware package, class three, with environmental scan capabilities, bio-tier olfactory chemical detection-"

"Class seven skeletal reinforcement, full exoframe porting… and an excellent service record. Very good," the shadow replied.

"Forgive me, but if you knew all of this already, why are you asking me? Am I correct in assuming you are associated with the government? Because I has no interest in classified work projects, government service, or being treated like I'm not a person," it said, curtly, tugging on its bra and making sure its boobs were situated. "I also require that any longterm work project meet specific needs."

"Explain those needs."

"Consistent access to a pharma printer with necessary components for generation of organic medical supplements or otherwise a specific stock of implant-mangement compatible vials of organic medical supplements for the duration of the assignment plus ten percent for safety," it replied, promptly. "Estrogen, implant managed, primarily. Additionally, progesterone and two hundred milligrams of-"

"Alchemically active sivagyn," the shadow interrupted. "You do not have an internal hormone manipulation and endocrine management system? Only administration management?"

"…those are expensive, alright? Genomic remapping is out of the question, I have no access to any of the artifacts that can potentially enable manual endocrine reorganization, I am… poor. I have what I need, but what I want is a different matter," it replied, no longer terse, but quiet. It spoke patiently, accepting of its limitations. "And what I want is not determined by the current system to be necessary for my continued function and survival."

"Ahhh, expense. The government does worry on that. Very well, let me see…" the shadow trailed off, and its arms moved, hands manipulating what the unit was certain was a number of holomonitors, or otherwise, an entire holofield comms grid. Some folks got so good at holo they made it their own, customizing it, until they were dancers in a sea of light only they could understand.

It wondered what the shadow did for work, as it tugged on a loose tanktop and marveled at the finally completed repigmenting of its skin. Coal black was much more comfortable than what had come before, and with the right modifications…

"Ahhh, marvelous. What is your stance on non-government medical personnel?" the shadow asked.

"Preferred," it replied, tying its mess of hair back and approaching its face-rack. Back in the day, people used belts and things to attach their faces, but the modern Faceless had things a bit easier. All it had to do was approach, and press the flesh and skull to the inside of its face, and the hardware set to work. Bolts tightened into its reinforced skull. Connections were secured, and its spinal hardware numbed its head meat, shut off its vestigial 'eyes,' and limited its sensory input from stock olfactory systems, as well as nervous throughput from its oral structures.

The rear shell sealed, covering the majority of its cranium, save a rectangular slot at the back that its tied mane pushed through. When it removed the tie, this fur fluffed out, filled out the slot fully - but remained, bound.

External cameras activated and calibrated, fed directly through its optic nerve interrupt right into its brain. That had been an adjustment, it was happy to admit, given that its field of view could suddenly expand far beyond biological limits - and the data, even translated, was significantly higher resolution and tracked much more smoothly than biological eyes.

Translator and limiter systems made it possible, but it was still… an adjustment.

Even so, with its face on, it once again felt… at peace.

"Very good. Then you have an appointment in three hours and seven minutes with C-DR. Evan Crenst, details available publicly. He will retrofit your systems, bring all hardware up to current bleeding edge, and provide you with an internal endocrine management system, negating the need for medfab… and I'll throw three hundred thousand coin on top, get yourself something nice installed," the shadow murmured, sounding rather… pleased with itself, for a heavily processed, androgynous sort of voice. "Is this agreeable?"

it snorted.

"Agreeable, sure. Affordable? Hardly. Like you're implying you're going to pay for it, but lady, that's insane, that kind of retro work would take… more money than, collectively, I have ever had."

"The payment has already been transferred, confirmation on your HUD in three," the shadow said, flicking its fingers and lowering its arms. A receipt flashed on the unit's AR overlay, and it blinked.

"…I haven't agreed to anything yet," it said, slowly, starting to get nervous. Faceless were generally considered an issue, by many folk… and their penchant for being heavily auged made them targets for low-retaliation corpse stripping. A call from a redline should not have been spoofable, but people found new tricks all the time…

A few rapid searches and a few taps around on the holo-monitor projected from its personal table showed that this C-DR. Crenst was…

Not just legitimate, but highly rated. Using a barrowkey, it logged into the privately maintained Faceless operated LessNet, and searched the name.

Other Faceless had work done by him - quite a lot of them, in fact. The private LessNet reviews were approximately as revealing as its searches of the general net in that they were unanimously glowing, save for a few who were merely satisfied, and one case of an accident occurring that…

Investigation had determined was not Crenst's fault or doing, through action OR negligence.

If he was a scrapper on the side, he was the most capable, spymaster-tier motherfucker on-

"You will," the shadow said, simply. "But I will humor you, unit. A crew is needed. Interstellar travel is required. The distance is… astounding, and the time it will take… significant. Eight years in Extended Purgatorium."

It stared at the shadow.

"What is the task?" it demanded.

"Dangerous… frightening. Incomprehensible, to some, the seed of madness in others. You possess the necessary qualities to not be rendered a wet, gibbering mess, before you ask why you are being approached," the shadow explained, patiently. "You do want to be an adventurer, do you not? Travel beyond the walls?"

"Ain't easy to get a license when you cant justify your certain death, no matter how eventual," it replied, bitterly. Prison wasn't the right word, nor was 'unfair' or even 'unreasonable,' but… 'frustrating' and 'fuck you' definitely applied. "I cannot leave. No one new has left in months. The government is turtling, and we do not know why."

"You will be granted an unlimited, complete license including full supply requisition and identification of potential homestead sites, and a stipend for purchase of said site, or otherwise necessary equipment and transport to any colony we know about," the shadow told it.

"Bullshit. No one can swing that."

"Swung," the shadow replied, and its City Resident profile flashed on the overlay. Its authority rank flickered, raising from D to SSS. Its travel permissions rating flickered, shifting from 'Limited Work Based' to 'Unlimited - Self Authority,' something it had only ever seen on like, logistics officers and colony ship captains. Its eyes tracked to the 'Disbursement Owed' and it noted that what previously was simply N/A had been adjusted to 'Variable - No Less Than 4 Million Coin.'

That was fucking EYE WATERING, and it didn't even have lacrimal glands anymore.

"I still haven't agreed to anything," it said, slowly, because that had all likely just cost a significant amount of money - and, covertly, it sent a message to Nancy asking her to do a few searches on it from various proxies to verify she hadn't somehow spiked its headware. "And I still don't know who you are."

"By design. Is that a requirement for hiring?" the shadow asked.

"Yes, it is. I don't work for shadows, that's how you get your ass barred from the cities, or worse, scrapped. I might want outside, but I want back in when I want, too - and I'd like to keep my fucking life and organs. I hate to be terse, I do, but this is all very suspicious," it replied, evenly. After a moment, the shadow flickered out.

"Then I want to see you," she said, her voice revealed fully, alongside the call's identification window refreshing to display pronouns she and her, and the name 'Xivisal.'

"You bear the name of the third fallen Saint-Keeper of the Angelus Remainder," it said, quietly. "Why?"

"Because a name, like a mantle, like a plank, like a talisman, can simply be given… or taken… if one wills it," she replied. "And thusly, it was willed."

"Whatever. Fine. Nancy, let her see me," it muttered, crossing its arms.

The shadow re-emerged into its AR overlay, and Vassal silently adjusted the integration system and had it rescan the floor level so her feet weren't stuck in the cement. Typically, it didn't desync like that, except for people who were-

It found itself looking down at her. Sure, Vassal itself was a halfie, touched with succubine genetics, and thusly had the benefit of significant additional scale, but she herself was very much… small.

"I didn't expect an imphound," it said, softly, peering at her fluffy ears, perked, tips just scraping five feet tall, at most. It glanced down at the scrambled blocks below her neck, obscuring fine details of her form, her garb, her everything. "You're cheating."

"Touche," she replied, and the blocks tesselated outward, clarifying her full form to reveal the legs of a hellhound, clad in belted armoring and simple cloth pants. Her torso was the same. All told, it wasn't sure why it expected her to look… more opulent, or at minimum, more complicated. "Your form… so unique, so interesting. Does that insult you?"

"Not quite, but I admit, I am not used to it," the unit replied, glancing aside. "What is my role? Dumb muscle? I don't have any distance combat packages or training, nor do I have any implant-managed neurochemical enhancement or-"

"Yes, the endocrine manager will include such chemical adaptive packages, I specified that as a requirement. Mr. Crenst is delighted, you'll be happy to know, he's having to rapidsource parts from all over the city," she interrupted. "I must say, your lack of non-exoframed images made me curious, and I am delighted to be surprised. Your mask is particularly interest-"

"Face. My FACE. It is not a mask," it said, cutting her off tersely. "I would ask you please not refer to my face as a 'mask.'"

The imphound tilted her holographic head, ears flicking, and smiled a small sort of smile. Golden eyes against the cherry red of impskin was, it had to admit, a lovely combination.

"Very well. My apologies, Dash Six. May I call you that?" she asked. It wasn't used to that. People usually didn't ask before calling it what they wanted.

"Six, or Dash, Or Vass, or Vassal," it replied. She nodded.

"Very well, Vass. My apologies. Your face is particularly interesting to me, and I daresay, quite lovely," she said, and it sighed. The politeness wasn't even a bad thing, it just didn't know how to respond. "Your task will require you to venture into a… let us call it a ruin. This network and call is hardly secure, but you will face potential death, confusion, insanity, ruin, eternal purgatorium, dismemberment, poisoning, corrosive-"

"Dangerous, got it. I gathered from the pay," it replied, sighing. "Fine. Last question, ma'am."

"Shoot," she said.

"The Extended Purgatorium stasis, what's the plan there? I've… never been in an EP pod. You hear things."

"Your consciousness will be suspended, and your body preserved using thaumic, alchemical, and temporal means. To you, it will feel like taking a nap," she told it, smiling again. "You needn't worry. They are safe, and I will be with you on board."

"In a pod?" it asked.

"In a pod," she confirmed. "You will not be able to maintain this living space. I know that is an enormous issue, but alternate payment packages can be worked out at any point, even now, if you'd prefer to return to a similar space with a sum, and so on."

Sighing, it sat down in its personal chair and shrugged.

"Doesn't matter to me, right now. This place was never my home, just where I returned to sleep between jobs. I will… miss, someone, but he will be fine without me. There are others who care deeply for him, others like me," it replied. "Just… ma'am. There's a lot, lately, a lot of shit about Faceless. I've applied to multiple colonization, mapping and exploration teams. Lot of use for someone strong and hooked up… but got no responses, or got outright denied. One of them told me he wasn't letting 'freaks' on board. Why, not me, but a Faceless in the first place? You barely even seem familiar with us."

"You are qualified, hooked up, experienced, apparently capable, remarkably competent, quick to pick up on new concepts, and highly resistant to potential mission hazards - and, if you'll forgive me this, you're so very interesting," she said, and it was still baffled by that. "…and you're polite, and discreet, but you're not trying to, pardon my coarseness, suck my asshole like I shit gold - all things I appreciate. Your nature as a Faceless is, forgive me once more, irrelevant. It is what you are. That is fine with me."

"…huh. Alright, that's… actually… fine," it murmured, inhaling a heavy dose of stimulant and nicotine vapor produced by its face and exhaling it in a light fog. "Neat. I accept."

"Then please step outside. An associate of mine will be waiting on floor three hundred, at the primary dock, in private latching 31."

"Is he going to be weird about my face, too?" it asked, tiredly.

"Negative, he's local, another recruit. Good luck, and I will welcome you on board when you wake from transfer post-op," she told it… and then, she paused, frowning. "Things may not go to plan, Vass. I want… to offer you comfort, and assuage worries if you wake to chaos. The building you are in? It's extremely secure, and prepared extremely well for what is to come. Whoever you… care about… arm him. Warn your friends something is coming, but do it quickly, and be discreet. I mean it."

"Yes, ma'am. Thank you, ma'am," it said, unnerved. She paused, smiling a little against the dread in her eyes. "What is it, ma'am?"

"Ma'am… the moment you were hired," she said, chuckling and turning away. "Very interesting, Vassal."

The call ended and it dismissed the AR overlay, rising and looking around. Packing the majority of its things was easy - they were already packed in its job bags. The furniture…

"Nancy, I need to request assistance from the building's logistics director - and please, if possible, ping the Faceless and ask if any have seen Zeep, have them direct him to maintenance stairwell fourteen-Jera," it said, finally, moving to the bags and kneeling, digging through them to find a wrench. While Nancy pinged the building's on duty logistics director, it rose and set to work unbolting its gear system from the wall's universal socket pattern.

It also sent a message, an emergency message, via the LessNet Barrowkey connection. They weren't supposed to use that function unless it was real, and serious, and it hoped the Captain wasn't kidding.

'All Faceless of Earth - Prepare. Something is coming. Arm yourselves. Be ready.'

They would listen. Faceless trusted Faceless, and in the city, it was known well enough to have backing. While it turned the bolts, it watched additional messages flood in, reporting suspicious behavior of building management AIs, strange machinery uncovering itself at the bases of many buildings in the Deep Dark, and a notable increase in Union robotics performing rapid, typically expensive, building repairs.

Something was coming. She told it to warn its friends.

It warned ALL of them.

"Crak here, what do you need," a strong, deep voice said, startling it from its monitoring.

"Immediate egress. Furniture must remain. Is that a problem?" it asked.

"Negative, we can handle it. You're… the Facless on 271, East Corner… alrighty. Got it. Good luck out there, Vassal Dash Six" he said, and the unit chuckled, disassembling the gear system and packing it into its padded hardcase.

"Thank you, sir."

"No problem. Disconnecting," he said, bluntly - and with a crackle of static, the voice was gone. It finished its task, and then rose, using connector straps to leash the bags together. No one paid it much mind, not there - there were lots of Faceless in the building, mixed among and with the folk whose organic faces were adequate for their needs. The walk wasn't short, but it didn't mind, and preferred to avoid the internal transit system - especially that early in the day, when folk were on their way to work.

Except, it noted…

The transit system was offline… and complaints or messages on the board for said system had been either suppressed or disabled completely.

Didn't change its plans, however - crowds bugged it, too.

Instead, it walked until it reached the third branch stairwell and used a borrowed maintenace code to slip inside. The logistics manager had long ago given up on trying to prevent the Faceless from navigating the superstructure how they needed, as it was overall more efficient and cheaper to simply let them do their thing.

In the quiet of the stairwell, it ascended, wondering what it'd be like to finally get out into the black. Would it get to feel zero gravity? Would they let it do a spacewalk? It was qualified, at least, for those things…

How would the stars look, from wherever they were going? It had images of the stars over the city on most nights, when the light pollution reduction network kicked on and the city's dynamic lighting AI activated… could it compare them? Perhaps, the labelled ones… if it could identify stars familiar, it could orient.

It was, the unit decided, marked excitement. This was its big break, its chance to go be something more than part of the Human Remainder, to push the knowledge of distant things forward… It was a chance, a powerful chance, to mean something.

This was a chance to really, magnificently be of use.

"Leaving?" a soft voice asked. It activated its peripheral camera, casting a motionless sidelong glance at Zeep.

"I am. Where is your mother, Zeep? You know she worries when you walk the maintenance corridors," it replied, wondering why the kid was so fucking quiet. He moved like a ghost, a graceful creature that was half-human and half hellhound, flicking ears and tail included. Big, luminous gold eyes rose as they climbed upwards, locking right on the side microcam as if he could literally see it.

"She is asleep. I could not. Dreams."

The unit nodded.

Dreams.

"I understand," it told him. He and his mother, Anada, were good folk - kind folk - who had gone through too damn much. The collapse of the Heartbar Reclamation effort had killed a whole lot of people, including the kid's father and older sister. "…do you fear my absence?"

He looked forward, smiling an honest smile missing a canine tooth - most of his teeth had gone earlier that year, but the canines had been slow, common in houndlikes and halfies.

"No, there are other Faceless here who will help my mother when she worries," he answered. "Faceless help lots of people."

"It is our common goal," Vass replied. "I go to the stars, Zeep. Something is coming. Your mother owns a pistol… please, when you return to her… make her get it, and then get to an emergency shelter. Please."

"They sky is your birthright," the boy replied, wearing that odd, loose grin. He was a weird kid - a good kid. "I will sometimes be hard to find, for a time… you know all my spots, the others don't."

"I… wouldn't count on that," the unit confessed. They approached the landing for three hundred, and ahead of them, the door opened. Servi Fifty-fifty stepped through, and xe and the unit gripped each other's hands firmly, initiating an ultra-secure, close range 'Classic Handshake' file transfer. "Xe has my maps."

"Curses, foiled again," Zeep mumbled, looking at the floor. "I lied a little, unit… I'm sorry… I will miss you."

Vass stared down at him, for a long moment, and then took a knee.

"May I hug you, sir?" Vassal asked.

"Yeah, that's fine," Zeep said, sounding strained. The Faceless, gently, placed its hands under his arms and lifted him up, pulled him close. "I'm sorry…"

"Shhh. It is natural to cry, when people part - but important to remember, even in the tears, that perhaps one day we will see one another again, little friend," it whispered, gently. Fifty-Fifty, politely, stepped back out. "…don't worry your mother too much, kid. She loves you a lot."

"She doesn't understand me," he spat, angrily. "I like the corridors and machines… I… I'm happy here…"

"I know, and soon, you can make it your job. For now… just promise me you will stay away from the reactor levels, stay out of the drone's ways, and not get yourself censured," the unit murmured, gently setting the boy down. In an effort to comfort him, it activated its face's display function, depicting a small dark line for a smile, and small dark dots for eyes, all on shiny black vexglass. "We may yet see one another again. I don't know if I will ever return. Right now, you're a child, my friend. Give yourself time… as annoying as it is to be told to be patient."

Scuffing the toe of his boot against the floor, Zeep muttered something.

"Speak up, sir," it said.

"I want a face just like yours!" Zeep shouted - and Vass was taken aback, startled. For all their talks as the Unit volunteered to walk him home, ensure he made it back to his mother next door, the boy kept an awful lot inside… and Vass knew it was not the one to help him get it all out. It just wasn't his place, nor was he qualified - but he tried to at least listen.

"Does your mother know?" it asked. He was fourteen. Implant consent capability could be tested as early as sixteen, and adjudged by relevant personnel.

"…I'm scared, Vassal… what if she's mad…?"

It reached out, cupping his cheek.

"Talk to Fifty-Fifty, like you would to me - and then when you get home, talk to your mother. She has a kind heart, and kinder soul. She won't hate you, or be mad, Zeep."

"A-Are you sure?"

"I am - but even should she be, this world is… safe, controlled, organized. Our kind will not leave you to suffer, even if for a time, you must endure. " it said.

"…that's not comforting, Vassal…" he muttered, and the unit chuckled.

"Of course not, but it is true. Goodbye, little friend. Follow my instructions, as a Faceless would. Get your mother, get her gun… and get to the shelter hardspace. Servi will escort you," it said, standing again - and, predictably, the boy threw himself against Fifty-Fifty's side, who patted his head gently, and gave Vass a silent nod. Xis display flickered, and depicted a smile. Vassal nodded back, and headed past them into one of the maintenance nexuses below floor three hundred. A short, almost bittersweet walk down a glowing amber line painted on its vision by the AR system later, and it emerged onto the private latchings.

Outside of the airlock, the wind whipped its clothing about and ruffled its fur, but the hotwire implants buried in the dermis of its arms compensated - not that they really had to, its insulation profile was more than adequate for that temperature. It walked through the crowds who were important enough or worked distant enough to own their own transports, and the countless people waiting for public group transports or job-group transports…

And stopped before a sleek, jet black craft that looked like absolutely nothing else present. It was, in a word, insectoid, terrible and efficient looking - and the cockpit opened, designed to seat two only. That explained why it was so small, for one - though, not so small it or its companion would not fit.

"Bags in the side compartment," the pilot said, and it nodded, bowing at the waist carefully before turning to the then open compartment and loading its bags in, only to find it did not have room for its gear hardcase. "…is there more room? My apologies for the inconvenience, there is much I can abandon."

"Calm down, fuck's sake," the pilot said, chuckling. "Step on back, viskagixa."

It blinked, recognizing the Hellish word for 'Faceless,' and did as it was told. The craft drifted away from the latching, revealing that it wasn't even using VTOL engines, but the relatively bleeding edge, difficult to acquire gravitational inversion pads - an honest to fucking goodness hovercraft.

When it drifted back, the other side compartment opened, already half-full of bags, but with plenty of room. As ordered, it stowed its case and approached the open cockpit to find a heavyset taurosi, the first one that Vass had ever seen in person. He was huge, easily taller than Vass itself, and with enough bicep and softness to literally fit half of its torso in the diameter of.

"Climb over me, unless that would be unpleasant for you. If so, I'll swing it back around - there's catch nets, below, if you're scared of falling," he huffed - his AR tag was unobfuscated, denoting his name was 'Elona.' It swallowed, trying not to stare at his… extremely generous bust that it had to climb over, and badly did not want to drop a knee into by accident and hurt him, and then said, "s-swing around, please, my apologies."

"You gotta relax," he said, chuckling - and the craft drifted off, scooting back up against the docking bumpers again, allowing it to easily step over the folded down cockpit plating and settle itself into a partially reclined seat. "You know my name, and I see yours, so… What did she tell you?"

"Everything I needed to hear," it answered honestly, as the cockpit plating folded back into place and the smooth, curved sealplate hissed as it was firmly locked. "Dangerous, extreme exploration slash deep space mystery type thing, and all my dreams come true."

"Shit, sounds too good to be true, still, eh?" he asked, pulling the ship off of the latching. The interior of the sealplate displayed sudden tesselation, its interior display activating one triangular node at a time until they both got to feel as if the 'top was down' and all that remained overhead was a quarter mile of cement and living beings.

"She said we could die, I feel like the price fits the task, as vague as that task still is," it murmured. "I apologize for any inconvenience caused in my transit."

"What do you even mean, honey?" he asked, receiving the release signal. Deftly, he worked the utterly esoteric holo-controls and they drifted out of the exit port, into open air. Vassal was forced to admit, internally, that the full-shell display was really quite amazing, as they dipped right and it set to work belting in, before they zipped along through one of the regimented airlanes, utilizing the 'rapid transit' pipeline that'd disallow them from stopping or manual control until they reached the next exit node - or the node nearest their final destination.

"I will be unconscious, likely, when I am transported to the ship. I am also very heavy," it said, simply, and he snorted, and then outright laughed.

"You have got to be the oddest one I've picked up so far. Don't sweat it, hon, you couldn't strain my muscles if you tried - berserker," he answered, settling back once the route was pinned in. "I have, however, been up a day and a half at this point. You mind if I sleep?"

"Not at all, thank you for asking," it said. He just… stared at the unit a long moment, bovine face inscrutible, then laughed quietly again and closed his eyes. Vass stared at the city flashing past, and wondered - was that planet ever its home? There was so little it would miss.

Zeep.

His mother.

The local Faceless population was wonderful, and it was going to miss having constant contact with others like it, perhaps… but the Faceless were anything but unique to Earth, at that point.

Would it miss the flora?

They were familiar, but not of much interest to it.

The Fauna?

…humanity didn't want it reclaiming their land. With a soft huff, it decided… Fine.

They could do it themselves.
