FIRST AID SIZE KINK YESSSSSS OGUGH OK LIKE- maybe you're tryna monkey bars your way up somewhere and he picks you up with one hand and pops you down where you were trying to go and is haunted by the comfortable weight of you in his hand for like a week. how easily one hand could wrap around you and how his fingers circled your middle enough that the tips of his forefinger and thumb could touch. hell, even pulling the 'hey lets compare hand sizes, like for science.' card on him and he locks himself in his habsuite for a good minute after. i want him on me so fuckgin bad

OKAY OKAY OKAY SO HERE'S MY THOUGHTS

I think, when you first meet, First Aid is very, very aware of how small you are by comparison. And at first he thinks it's because he's worried for your safety. You're surrounded by aliens twice, three times, five times your size, there's no ending to the number of things that could go wrong!

So, for a while at least, he's incredibly aware and respectful of you. Unlike some of the other bots aboard the Lost Light he would never grab you and pick you up, especially without permission! You're a sentient being with thoughts and needs, and said boundaries deserve to be respected.

And then he catches you. Just once, when you stumble off the edge of a table after Whirl gets a bit too rowdy. And you're so delicate in his servo, so soft. He can wrap his entire servo around your middle. And you look up at him with those soft, glossy, achingly organic eyes.

"Thanks! Great catch!"

And oh. Oh, he's just ruined. He tries to ignore the feelings, the aching desire to hold, to touch. And on the surface it seems like he's doing relatively well! You don't seem to notice, at the very least. But when he's back in his habsuite, when he's supposed to be resting, there's this unavoidable stab of guilt as his servo slides down to grip his spike or cup his valve. The twist in his tank when he realizes he wants to hold you, to feel your soft little hands upon his array, to hear you shiver and gasp and whimper at the impossible stretch offered by his spike...

First Aid is not very good about letting himself have the things he wants. When not pertaining to his work in the medical field he's very used to letting other people's needs come before his own. So it's very unlikely that he's going to be making any sorts of moves on you, no matter how much he desires it. Still, he can't help but fantasize.

HSX 2 page poster brochure. Translations of all pages up on my Hirocima Cruisers page. Translations of main text from 2 HSX sections below. The HSX was the concept car that became the production Mitsubishi GTO / 3000GT

It stimulates the senses.

You can experience the thrill of driving.

A new generation of ultra-high performance sports car,

HSX.

The design form is intriguing.

Everything evolves. Cars are no exception. Or rather, it is the people who have been driving the speed of evolution by accepting the general consensus of the people's demands head on.

It might be possible.

There is.

The transmission is a 5-speed manual. The brake system is equipped with 4-piston aluminum calipers and ventilated brakes in the front and ventilated brakes in the rear.

Basic performance that has been thoroughly refined. Dry

When the driver improves his skills, the car responds. The car is in constant dialogue with the driver, sharing his feelings and deepening the emotions together. The more the driver and the car mature, the more they bring out the best in each other. The pinnacle of technology plays a role in unleashing the seeds of emotion hidden within each individual driver.

And so, the car has come this far.

HSX. A fusion of emotion and reason.

A beautiful form. Just seeing it has such an attractive force that your body heats up with anticipation of driving. Your heart trembles when you see its ultra-low and wide proportions of 1255mm high and 1880mm wide. The active aero system is symbolized by the Targa top roof and front and rear spoilers. The car's consistent design policy of "exuding driving energy even when stationary" pulsates throughout.

It is a car that responds to people's love. Its alluring charm. The design of the car seems to exude the unique will of the HSX.

Touch it. Feel the texture. Each surface is overflowing with supple beauty. Subtle curves. The intricacy of the form conveys not just the frame, but even the warmth of the craftsman. Once it starts moving, it foretells the vibrant beauty of its movement.

I saw the ultimate performance that can be demonstrated casually.

Just because it's a sports car doesn't mean it's a stand.

The HSX is a sports car for adults that has mastered the total balance. It is warm. The components are exactly the same as the HSR-II, V6, 3000DOHC 24 valve.

Twin turbo twin intercooler engine, Active Footwork System (4WD, 4WS,4I, 4ABS+ECS)

The tires are ultra-flat 245/50R17 tires.

We saw the ideal in car manufacturing with its high level of safety.

In order to satisfy the needs of our passengers, we always

It is necessary for the wheels to be kept in a controllable state. This can also be said to be the foundation for high safety. All-wheel control. This philosophy is embodied in the AWC HSX. If it is not sensitive, it cannot lead the times. If it is not exciting, it is not a car. And if there is a lack of a safety mindset, there is no capacity to make a car.

There is no class. The HSX clearly tells this philosophy. A story of driving. The difference between happiness and happiness between people and cars. Cars are steadily and rapidly becoming more and more high-tech. With today's car technology, it is not so difficult to bring a "very extreme car" to the world.

It's not that difficult. But I don't want to call it evolution. There is no future for a hollow Rakuei. Without the first thesis that people will come, there will be no tomorrow of cooperation. "Run, turn, stop." How far can we pursue high performance and safety based on the original functions of this car? When I stand in front of the HSX, one conclusion springs to mind. Evolution

It's not the car that's doing it, it's the people.

The 28th Tokyo Motor Show Concept Car "HSX"

HSX

High safety and high performance driving. Mitsubishi's cutting-edge technology is alive in this vehicle.

The HSX is a full-fledged sports car that embodies the high-performance driving of the previously developed HSR-II in a form closer to a production model. It comes close to Mitsubishi's symbolic ideal in all aspects: power, form, and mechanism.

With a V6, 3000DOHC power unit and an Active 4 (4 valves, 4WD, 4WS, 4IS, 4ABS) as its base, this car is a perfect embodiment of well-balanced high technology, befitting a sports car of the new era. Every inch of its supple form is filled with incredible potential.

The engine is a V6, 3000DOHC 4-valve

Equipped with twin turbos and twin intercoolers, the drivetrain is equipped with a large-capacity 5-speed manual transmission and a full-time 4WD with a center differential with VCU. In addition, the mechanisms of the most important basic functions of a car, "running, turning, stopping," such as front strut and rear double wishbone suspension, 4WS that responds to vehicle speed and steering force, ultra-flat 245/50R17 tires, front and rear ventilated disc brakes (with 4-piston aluminum calipers on the front wheels), and 4ABS, have been taken to a new dimension.

It has already attracted attention both at home and abroad for pioneering the driving sensation.

I am.

Its overall height is 1255mm, its overall width is 1880mm, and its ultra-low and wide body proportions are truly sports. Its two-seater and targa top roof give it a style that is "still stationary, yet exudes driving energy."

What it quietly and proudly asserts is the aerodynamic performance that has been thoroughly pursued for driving, and the aerodynamic technology that is appropriate for a new-age sports car. The outstanding aerodynamics of the HSX, called the Active Aero System, are a concrete application of the aerodynamic technology that was developed in advance for the HSR-II. However, the original mission of the HSX is not to show off its powerful power and risky driving.

Each technology is carefully developed.

The result is a machine.

A heart that embraces you for running is poured into you

I'm here.

Ok look. Your heat clinic AU but now with piss. I imagine it as No War AU with Dratchet. Drift never experienced heats, so when his first one comes he's unprepared. He quickly comes to the heat clinic in hope to get help. There he meets Ratchet who starts from instructing Drift about what to expect, calmly describing all the possible symptom, including 'increased waste production, frequent urges to urinate, profuse and uncontrollable voiding'. Drift is so shocked and embarrassed, ready to run away right now. He's also not happy to know that this symptoms are very common and it's very likely that he'll get them (he is already feeling his waste tank filling despite that he visited the bathroom before leaving his home). And he's definitely not happy to know that in this clinic they 'cure' heats naturally, just fulfilling bots' needs and taking care of them while they are needy and vulnerable. However with every passing klik Drift feels more and more driven to Ratchet. Ratchet seems professional and understanding and caring. Adn Drift in not ready to deal alone with the heat that is consuming him more and more. He's already wet, his valve and spike spasm behind his panels. Drift signs the consent and the treatment starts. Ratchet gives him a medical urinal, explaining that Drift may need it soon. Drift is flustered and blushing, he pushes it away and says that he doesn't need to go. Ratchet gives him a disapproving look and says that it's unhealthy to hold waste, there is nothing to be ashamed of, 8/10 mechs experience it even if it's not talked a lot about due to some dumb social norms. They start with a surface massage of valve and node to prepare Drift for taking fingers and then spike. But even the lightest touches make Drift's abdomen spasm and his calipers flutter, and his poor waste tank is so full, and for the first time he experiences a genuine desire to wet this careful fingers with his pee to mark them and show Ratchet how good it feels. The thoughts are wild, Drift tries to shake them off, but the pressure on his pussy lips and clit make him whimper and his hands curl into fists and his tank ache with need. A klik away from overload a warning about the other release being inevitable flashes on his HUD. Drift cries out and blindly grabs the urinal and shoves it between his legs, pushing Ratchet's hand away. Losing pressure on his node ruins his orgasm but the pressure of his stream filling the urinal makes his insides twitch once, twice, and he overloads, still pushing the urinal between his legs until it overflows with warm waste. Ratchet tells him that he did just fine and that the urinal is'nt really necessary. It's used for the first time to make patients less embarrassed about the process, but during penetration the patient is expected to piss on the doctor to satisfy the urge to mark a partner and also to avoid ruined orgasms, to make the treatment more effective.

OooOh yes... Yesss. Drift has his first heat a little later in life... Perhaps he's come into some money lately and frequent fueling and a semblance of safety kicked his systems into gear. He has no idea what to do, though. But heat relief hospitals are free, thankfully. A public service, if you will... Ratchet treats him clinically, explaining everything in snappy medical terms, but he does make sure Drift is very, very comfortable.

Aww, I'm thinking about Drift rolling his hips as Ratchet pushes his fingers inside of him for the first time, wastetank already filling back up fast. He knows he's going to piss himself again, and this time the urinal is too far away. But Ratchet is massaging his lower abdomen with his free hand, pressing up against every delicious node and cooing at him so sweetly, telling him to relax, to let go... Slowly, Drift starts to leak all over Ratchet's fingers, calipers quivering as he struggles to clench off the stream. It comes out of him in little spurts, waste fluid squirting out of him with each firm thrust of Ratchet's fingers. This time, when he overloads, his vision whites out for a moment, and he reboots to see his wet valve still drenching the doctor's hand <33

Hello! Just a small question. In my work there is a "base", located underground. The main characters need to destroy the base, but it is protected against fire. I decided they would flood the base by bursting the pipes and flooding the place, but the logistics are a bit confusing for me. I'm not sure how water pressure would work, where pipes would be, if its even realistic. Thank you!♡

Tex: Fire protection is a bit of a relative term - do you mean to say that there is nothing flammable there? Or that there would be nothing that could start a fire, such as electrical wiring? The same sort of process applies to water systems such as pipes, cisterns, etc. Water pipes generally have lots of checks and balances in the form of things pressure valves, water storage units, and drains. A pipe “bursts” when the internal pressure is unable to be vented (i.e. has nowhere to go), and the inability to equalize pressure to its mechanical standards (i.e. material properties of the pipe itself). Engineers like to design infrastructure systems around some general principles: 1) as close to within budget as possible (i.e. materials, manpower, schedule), 2) easy to spot problems during construction, and 3) easy to repair after its installation in case something breaks. To accomplish this, particularly with water and electrical systems, these systems will be designed with as many straight lines as possible in order to reduce the logistical burdens of its installation, maintenance, and repair. It won’t be uncommon to align multiple systems alongside each other along a wall or in a floor, especially if the employees are paid by the hour, but it might or might not be the absolute best way to do it in terms of long-term solutions.

Fluid dynamics- Wikipedia

Addy: Water pressure is pretty neat stuff, and I like where you're going with this. My thoughts are a little scattered, but this is feasible or not depending on where the base is.

Components to flooding: 1) How much water is there? 2) Where does the water come from? 3) How quickly does it spread? 4) What does it damage?

So you want to "ruin" a base. That could mean 

making it completely inoperable and essentially impossible to recover (totally flooded, it becomes an underground swimming pool/death cave, cannot access without specialized diving equipment).

making it unusable for practical purposes and/or health & safety reasons. Everything of value (papers, records, documents, computers) is made useless and soft surfaces are covered in mold, but a person can still physically enter the space and breathe oxygen. There was water, but then it receded.

In this case, the space is still physically accessible, but the cleanup cost isn't worth it. A dedicated crew may later try to see if there are any documents that got left behind, which could be interesting

Either way, the goal is to remove the enemy's capability to continue operations in this area by damaging their base of operations to an extent that the base is no longer worth the resources to upkeep. Or to damage it to an extent that it is unable to be re-established.

Does it flood quickly or slowly? That affects the speed of the response.

If it happens quickly, the timescale is measured in minutes. Maybe a few hours, if it's a large base. Evacuation is fast, dramatic, and desperate. A few people may try to secure strategic assets (experimental weapon, research notes, hard drive with special data on it, spellbook, classified documents, religious artifacts, medicine, etc. Things that are not easily replaceable), and others may just grab whatever's closest to them and run. Evacuation could be coordinated or it could be disorganized. There may be rescue efforts, people going back to check on their colleagues.

If the flooding is fast-then-slow, then the timescale is hours, maybe a day or two. Initial response is likely going to be panicky, but with people going back inside to grab things once they realize they've got some time.

If the flooding is slow, it's like the above but more like a school fire drill. There's time and not much panic. Not very dramatic. However! If they're leaking a sewer line, then you get people leaving very quickly indeed, as nobody likes to be in contact with raw sewage.

How much water do you need? (If it isn't very much, then people don't panic as much, as they're not at risk of dying)

If you're just looking to fry electronics, that's easy. A few inches of water and there you go, you've ruined your servers and your electrical lines and it's a whole mess. Also it'll get into the floorboards, and that's an expensive fix…. Especially if the water stays electrified. Or if there's sewage or other unpleasant substances in it. Anyways, even a small(ish) pipe can carry a lot of water. A 4" pipe can carry 3400 gallons per minute (gpm) - enough to put a 20,000 sqft facility under a foot of water in 20 minutes. A large 48" pipe, on the other hand, can carry ~35,000 gpm under typical conditions - enough to put that same facility under a foot of water every four and a half minutes. 

For reference, fire hydrants put out about 500-1000 gpm. Major pipes tend to be located under streets and highways (hard for them to get accidentally damaged that way), with smaller distribution pipes going to wherever they may be needed. If the base is in the middle of nowhere, they probably won't be near any of the big pipes, so you'd have fairly slow flooding. If the base is hidden in a city, you've got roadways right there. Bonus points if the soil is sand (makes the pipes easier to get to to break).

https://www.ntmwd.com/broken-pipes-and-water-leaks-can-waste-thousands-of-gallons/

https://www.onicon.com/wp-content/uploads/0868-5-Velocity-to-GPM-Chart-2-sided-04-18.pdf

So if you've got a major pipe running through the area, you can make things happen very, very fast. Even if you don't have the really big pipes, you can still cause a fair amount of damage by just breaking multiple pipes. It really just depends on the area and what kinds of pipes are nearby. In normal real-life conditions, large pipes tend to be hard to get to, and it'd be more practical to break a few 1" or 2" pipes, which could get you a foot or two of water in a couple hours.

You could drain a lake or reservoir, but it'd have to be fairly large in order to actually fill up the volume of the base.

How quickly the water spreads depends on the layout of the building. If there are multiple stories, water will flow down. Closed doors will slow the water down, but won't stop it entirely (unless they're waterproof and designed to resist large sideways forces). Think of it like spilling water on a table, just with a lot more of it.

What gets damaged? Are there any fuel lines, any natural gas attachments? What about liquor? Is there anything flammable that can catch fire and float on top of the water? (Or anything that can break, catch fire, and explode inside the base?) Do you have electronics? Paper? How tough are your floors? Water is heavy, clocking in at 62.4 lb/ft^3 (structural engineers hate rooftop pools). Is there a risk of upper floors collapsing onto lower floors, as the water pours down?

Aston Martin One-77 (property — before being seized by Swiss authorities — of the son of the leader of one of the most corrupt governments in Central Africa)

In keeping with its tradition of producing limited edition, hand crafted exotica for the wealthy aficionado, best exemplified by the DB4 GT Zagato of the 1960s, Aston Martin previewed its proposed One-77 'hypercar' at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. 'The finished One-77 made its official debut in April 2009 at the Concorso d'Eleganza Ville d'Este, held on the shores of Lake Como in Italy, winning the 'Award for Concept Cars and Prototypes'. Designed by Marek Reichman, it was the fastest and most powerful Aston Martin ever built, with a top speed of 220mph, and also the most expensive, carrying a price tag of £1,150,000. Hailed by its maker as "possibly the world's most desirable automotive art form", the One-77 with its long bonnet and short tail was every inch the classically proportioned Gran Turismo, combing muscular pugnacity and feline grace in equal measure. A two-seater closed coupé, the One-77 featured advanced technology in the form of an immensely rigid and lightweight carbon fibre monocoque chassis, which carried a seamless body traditionally handcrafted in aluminium. Made from a single sheet of aluminium, each front wing was said to take one craftsman three weeks to produce.  Other state-of-the-art features included bi-xenon headlamps with integrated LED side lights and direction indicators, LED rear lamps (fog and reverse), carbon fibre front splitters, carbon fibre rear diffuser, and active aerodynamics with deployable spoiler. Providing the horsepower needed to breach the magic 200mph barrier was a stretched (to 7.3 litres) version of Aston Martin's existing 48-valve V12 engine. Extensively reworked by Cosworth Engineering, it produced 750bhp and 553lb/ft of torque, and was the world's most powerful normally aspirated road-car engine at the time of the One-77's introduction. Cosworth's extensive re-engineering included fitting dry-sump lubrication, which enabled the V12 to be carried 100mm lower in the One-77's chassis than in that of the DB9. Like the V8 in the One-77's Vantage sister car, the V12 engine was mounted towards the centre of the chassis, well aft of the front axle line in the interests of optimum weight distribution, to which end the six-speed automatic/manual transmission was located at the rear in the form of an integrated transaxle. Power was transmitted to the limited-slip differential by a carbon fibre prop shaft encased in a magnesium alloy torque tube, reaching the road surface via 20" forged alloy wheels - 7-spoke or 10-spoke - shod with Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres.

Unusually for a road car, the One-77's all-independent suspension featured pushrod actuation of the adjustable mono-tube dampers, a system more commonly found in modern competition cars. There were double wishbones at all four corners: the front incorporating anti-dive geometry, and the rear anti-squat and anti-lift. The suspension was also electrically adjustable for both ride height and rate change.

The rack and pinion was power assisted, delivering 3.0 turns lock-to-lock, while the steering column was adjustable for both tilt and reach. Braking was supplied by carbon ceramic discs all round, gripped by six-piston callipers at the front, four-piston callipers at the rear. Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Emergency Brake Assist (EBA), and traction control were all incorporated in the interests of controllability and safety. Releasing the driver's door, which swings out and arcs upwards, the One-77's fortunate owner would be confronted by a leather-trimmed sports steering wheel, electrically adjustable lightweight memory seats, and dual-stage driver/passenger front airbags. Other interior features included automatic temperature control, a trip computer, and touch-sensitive map-reading LED lights. Powerfold exterior memory mirrors came as standard, while front/rear parking cameras were an option. Number '35' of the 77 built, this EU model has a legend engraved on the door sill stating that it was 'Hand built in England for Theodore N'Guema Obiang Mangue'. Finished in red with red-piped cream interior, the car is offered with Equatorial Guinea registration papers.

Control valve supplier in Dubai

UAE Valves is one of the top Control Valve Supplier in Dubai. A control valve is a mechanical device used in various industrial processes to regulate the flow of fluids, such as gas, steam, or liquid, through a pipeline or duct. It achieves this regulation by adjusting the size of the flow passage according to signals received from a controller.

Control valves are crucial components in systems requiring precise control of flow rate, pressure, temperature, or liquid level. They are widely used in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, power generation, and water treatment.

Working Principle:

The working principle of a control valve is straightforward. In an industrial setting, a control valve adjusts the size of an opening to control the flow of fluid through a pipeline. When the valve is fully open, it allows maximum flow, and when fully closed, it stops the flow completely. Between these extremes, the valve can be precisely adjusted to allow a specific amount of fluid to pass through.

This adjustment is typically performed automatically based on signals from a controller, which monitors conditions such as pressure, temperature, or flow rate. Essentially, a control valve acts like a gatekeeper, regulating the flow of fluid to meet the system's requirements.

Parts of a Control Valve:

Valve Body: The main structure that contains the fluid and through which the fluid flows.

Actuator: A device that moves or controls the valve's mechanism, often powered by air, electricity, or hydraulic fluid.

Closure Element: The component that makes contact with the seat to restrict or allow flow.

Trim: Internal components such as the plug, seat, and stem that modulate the flow.

Seat: A surface against which the closure element seals to stop flow.

Positioner: A device that adjusts the valve actuator's position based on control signals.

Bonnet: The top part of the valve body that houses the stem and provides a seal.

Yoke: A support structure that holds the actuator in place and connects it to the valve body.

Stem: A rod that connects the actuator to the closure element and transmits motion.

Packing: Material that provides a seal around the stem to prevent fluid leakage.

Advantages:

Precisely controls the amount of fluid passing through a system.

Maintains the desired pressure levels within the system.

Helps maintain a stable temperature by regulating fluid flow.

Reduces energy consumption by optimizing fluid flow.

Enhances system performance by maintaining consistent operating conditions.

Prevents system overpressure and potential hazards.

Easily adjustable for various operating conditions.

Allows for control from a distance and integration into automated systems.

Designed for durability and ease of maintenance.

Ensures consistent production quality by maintaining optimal conditions.

Meets industry standards and regulatory requirements.

Industries Using Control Valves:

Control valves are used across numerous industries, including nuclear power, oil and gas, power generation, manufacturing and process industries, automotive, aerospace, mining and minerals processing, water treatment and distribution, pulp and paper, refining, marine, renewable energy, chemical and petrochemical, and steel and metal processing. These valves play a critical role in ensuring operational efficiency, safety, and compliance within these diverse sectors.

Three-way control valve

Cage type control valve

Double seat control valve

O type shutoff control valve

Single seat control valve

Water control valve

Buy SS 304 Blind Flange | Lowest Price in India

SS 304 Blind Flanges are a vital component for industrial piping systems, known for their durability, corrosion resistance, and strength. These flanges, made from stainless steel grade 304, are designed to seal the ends of pipes or valves, making them ideal for industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, water treatment, and more. For businesses in India, finding SS 304 Blind Flanges at the lowest price is essential for minimizing operational costs while ensuring high-quality performance. With a wide range of suppliers offering competitive pricing, it's easier than ever to source these flanges at the best rates.

What is SS 304 Blind Flange?

SS 304 Blind Flanges are flat, circular components used to close off the ends of pipelines, valves, or pressure vessels. Unlike other flanges, the blind flange does not have a central bore, meaning it completely blocks the flow of liquid or gas through the pipe. This makes it useful for isolating sections of a piping system for maintenance, testing, or system shutdowns.

The material used in these flanges—stainless steel grade 304—is an austenitic alloy with high chromium (18%) and nickel (8%) content. This composition gives SS 304 its excellent corrosion resistance, making it a perfect choice for harsh industrial environments where chemicals, moisture, and high temperatures are present.

Benefits of SS 304 Blind Flange

1. Outstanding Corrosion Resistance: The SS 304 Blind Flange’s high chromium content allows it to form a passive layer of chromium oxide on its surface, which prevents rust and corrosion. This makes it ideal for use in chemical processing, oil refineries, water treatment plants, and other industries that deal with corrosive environments.

2. High Strength and Durability: SS 304 Blind Flanges are designed to withstand extreme pressures and temperatures. This makes them suitable for high-pressure applications, including oil and gas pipelines, steam systems, and heavy-duty processing plants. Their durability ensures long-term performance without frequent replacements, reducing maintenance costs.

3. Low Maintenance: Due to its superior resistance to corrosion and wear, SS 304 Blind Flanges require minimal maintenance compared to other materials. This makes them a cost-effective choice for industries where reliable performance and low upkeep are critical.

4. Versatile Applications: SS 304 Blind Flanges are used across a wide range of industries. They are suitable for temporarily sealing off pipelines during repairs or permanently closing off systems. Their versatility makes them valuable in oil and gas, petrochemical, marine, pharmaceutical, food processing, and water treatment industries.

Oh, geez, as if the past two cutscenes weren't enough of an emotional roller coaster ride for Hector, we get yet another very feelsy Karlach conversation come morning.

The game has this happening as a chat in camp, but I think I am picturing this as a conversation they'd have while still at the inn after the date. Perhaps lying in bed as the sun slowly starts to peek up over the horizon, both putting off the moment when they will have to get up and get dressed and go back to camp.

So, y'know, ignore the screenshots I guess. :P

"Hey," she says softly, running her fingers through his hair. He presses his face drowsily into her shoulder, shutting out the faint light starting to come through the window. "Wanna play pretend?"

He shifts just enough that one eye is uncovered to look up at her questioningly.

She's smiling, but it's a slightly distracted smile, a hint of sadness in it. "You and me... Let's imagine... I get to live fifty more years. We have a whole life ahead of us. What do we do?"

He goes very still and his heart gives a sharp twist in his chest - that all-too-familiar feeling of preemptive grief that arises whenever he thinks about losing her. His instinct, immediately, is to hide from the topic - to tell her he can't bear to think about it right now, which certainly feels true enough. For a moment he turns his head and buries his face back in her shoulder.

But then he draws a breath and steadies himself deliberately.

Last night, she finally spoke, for the first time seriously and without any safety valve of humor, of what is coming for her. She did not laugh, or make jokes about it, or deflect or pretend it didn't matter that she was going to die. And he needed to hear that, very badly, and he knows it was not an easy conversation for her to have.

And now it is his turn to answer her as she needs to be answered. She is certainly not asking this question for his benefit, but for hers; for whatever reasons might be going on in her own mind, she needs to have this conversation and carry his answer with her.

Perhaps all his training in self-control, all his life, was really just leading to the moments like this, he thinks. Moments that will no doubt come more frequently as the end draws closer - moments where he needs to be strong for her, for whatever she needs.

He shifts so his eyes are visible again and meets her gaze steadily. "It would look the same as it does now," he says slowly after long thought. "Adventure, fights - all of it together."

Does he think this is actually the truth? Hard to say. It doesn't really bear a lot of thinking about, what he actually would want from a life with her, since it brings nothing but pain. The answer he is giving is what he thinks she would want - what image would bring her happiness to hold onto.

She laughs softly, tips her head to kiss him gently between the eyes. "Now you're talking," she says lightly. "Faerun is so big, and we've barely scratched the surface." Her grin widens, but there's visible effort behind it. "I've always wanted to square up against a hill giant. With two of us, we might even stand a chance."

Her voice cracks on the last word, and she squeezes her eyes shut, a muscle working furiously in her jaw.

"Dammit," she whispers brokenly. "I wish I had a longer road ahead of me." Her fingers dust along his jaw, up into his hair. "I want to walk it with you..."

He lifts a hand, presses it to her cheek, kisses her fiercely, because he needs to do something or he will start crying as well. As it is, when he draws back, his eyes are damp and he's sure she can tell. But he doesn't cry. He holds himself steady. So many times when he has been at his lowest, she has been there for him to lean on. He will not give her less.

Try to hide a tear.

"Gods," she says softly, and her voice is more full of pain and grief than he has ever heard it. "What a disaster... Finding love like this - finding you - so perfectly late..."

Her hand cups behind his head to pull him tightly against her and she presses her face into his hair. When she speaks again, her voice is muffled. "I've always thought I was fearless. Never scared of a fight, of the future. But dying has taught me so much..." She exhales shakily and he can hear the breath catch in her throat. "There's no courage in fearlessness. There's courage in being fucking terrified but still going forward. Still being grateful. Still trying."

He smiles just a little against her chest. They've spoken of this before, in truth; she has offered it as reassurance against his own fears, of which there have been many. To hear it turned back to encourage herself, as well, somehow makes him feel the connection between them deepen even more.

He wraps his arms tightly around her, presses a line of slow kisses along her collarbone, up her neck, then draws back so he look into her face again.

She meets his eyes, breathes in and then out heavily. "We're going to save this city," she says firmly. "Together. It's going to be the last thing I do."

Again, he resists the urge to look away, to hide from the grief and the fear. If she must be put in the position of having to decide on her last wish, he thinks, she could not have chosen a better one. "I'm with you, Karlach," he murmurs, and though his voice trembles, it does not break. "Every step of the way."

She manages a slight smile, and even in spite of everything facing them, his heart flutters a little at the expression of love in her eyes. "That's why I know we're going to win."

-----

(A/N: It's cool, Larian, I didn't need my heart or anything. Once again I'm going to include a recording of this scene as well, because Samantha Beart's voice acting has really been obliterating me lately and the animation is very evocative as well.)

TRAINTOBER | Day 26 - Summit

3801 has a breakdown after attempting to climb Cowan Bank on her own. 4201 vows to assist her whenever they can.

~~~

“Hey.”

“Hey,” 3801 looked over to find the huge bulk of an engine sitting across the loco-yard from her as she was being prepared for her run. She frowned slightly and her gaze hardened as she realised who it was. The engine, an enormous Beyer Garratt noticed her change in demeanour and seemed to recoil slightly.

“I’m not here to force you or anything,” the Beyer Garratt quickly assured her. “I just wanted to wish you well Grey. You got this girl!”

3801 gave the Beyer-Garrat a strained smile. The last time they had met, said Beyer Garratt had tried to force her into climbing this very incline to ‘help’ her get over the fatal crash that had killed several of her passengers. 

Even now the thought of once again climbing that bank made her wheels shake and her frames shudder.

“Thanks… Corrie,” Grey responded and out of the corner of her eye she could see the diesel, 4201 or Gold a good distance away but they watched the pair of them like a hawk, ready to swoop in at the first sign of trouble.

“That diesel’s good to you ay?” Corrie asked glancing at Gold and a small smile appeared on her face.

“They are, I can rely on them whenever I need a buffer,” Grey acknowledged and Corrie smiled.

“Good, glad you have someone to look after you,” the Beyer-Garratt praised. “Take care of yourself, Grey.”

“Thanks, mate,” Grey smiled back at Corrie. “I still haven’t forgiven you for what you did.”

“I know Grey, I know,” Corrie lamented. “But one day I hope we can be friends again. I do miss you, gorgeous girl.”

Grey blushed slightly but otherwise just smiled as the Beyer Garratt slowly went on her way. She hoped to be friends with the larger engine once again one day, but one step at a time was the way to go for right now.

“You alright? Did she try and force you to do anything?” Came the low growl of her now constant diesel companion, Gold.

“No, no,” Grey assured them. “Corrie was just wishing me well. You worry too much mate.”

Gold didn’t look convinced but then again they were always on edge this one. Very anxious and paranoid. Not to an insane degree but to an extent where it could get annoying sometimes.

“Are you sure you don’t need a back engine?” Gold murmured as they glanced at her coaches sitting at the platform.

“I will be fine you worry wart!” Grey blustered at them. “You worry yourself too much.”

Gold simply gave her a hard stare as they drew their lips into a hard line, not at all convinced. 

“It’s not without reason, Ms Grey,” they insisted and Grey just ignored them. 

“Alright Gold,” she tutted. “I’ve down the Cowan Bank many times before, this will be nothing.”

“Yes, but this will be the first time after-” Gold began but they stopped as Grey began moving out of audio range.

They were unheard however as Grey was already puffing to the station. Gold fell silent and watched Grey go, a deep sense of foreboding within their radiator.

~~~

Grey had thought she would have been fine, she had hoped. But as her wheels began slipping and her safety valve released it became more and more obvious that nothing was fine, that nothing was okay.

She could hear her crew calling to her as she began to slow, almost to a complete stop. The edges of her vision began to dance with strange colours and the sounds around her became muffled and muted. 

A deepening sense of panic and dread that she only now realised had been there was rising to the surface inside her boiler and she felt nauseous. Her frames were shaking so violently now and tears were slipping down her face. 

“Grey! Grey!” Her crew was calling to her but she could barely hear them. She could just feel her wheels slipping as they lost traction and she began sliding back down the hill. She could hear herself shrieking and crying, in anger, in embarrassment, in fear, in any number of emotions she couldn’t even understand right now.

There was a sudden clunk as she suddenly stopped sliding back. There was a moment where she stood still, confused and shaking before suddenly something from behind her train was taking up her slack, pushing her to the summit of the fangled bank that she had seen in her nightmares.

She couldn’t see who it was behind her train but she had a very good idea who it was. 

She felt bad, as the rest of the journey over Cowan Bank she was barely putting in any effort yet her banker was pushing her all the way through and was nothing but a powerhouse. 

She did not speak until they reached the station at the end of the line when her rescuer came to her side.

“Grey?” The soft voice of Gold spoke next to her smokebox. 

She said nothing, only staring at the tracks before her, ashamed and full of misery. She felt numb, useless, worthless.

“I’ll be there for you,” the EMD vowed. “Whenever you need me, no matter how steep the incline, no matter if I have to take on the world’s biggest locomotive, I will be there to protect you.”

Grey couldn’t even respond to their words, she burst into tears, overwhelmed.

Gold simply stayed at her side, even when the replacement engine came along to take the train back she didn’t say anything, only weeping quietly as her crew slowly shut her town to be taken back to the roundhouse.

That night, the other engines didn’t speak as Grey took up the furthermost berth, Gold next to her vigilantly staying by her side. 

It was almost midnight when the other engines had gone to sleep and Gold on the verge of falling asleep when a quiet, barely audible voice called out to them.

“Thank you.”

Gold smiled and glanced at Grey who was staring at them, a look of appreciation on her face.

“You’re welcome, Lady Grey,” they attested to the famous engine of the Newcastle Flyer.

The Handmaid => Check on him

You stare at the message you have sent Advoca for a long time, eventually resting your head upon your knees to achieve more comfort as you ponder on your words. Re-reading your choked-up truths and admissions.

And in an instant, with a mere thought and the pull of cosmic power, you are gone from your desk in a bright green flash. Ozone lingers in your room, but that is a problem for when you return.

Suddenly, you’re floating in a pitch-black space, in a darkness so deep it threatens to swallow you whole. Earth C gets to enjoy some stars in its night skies, but you are far beyond the light of them, and you are far away from what you must now call home.

You don’t do it often, but you remember everything she taught you, and you remember what your new boss has given you. With those combined teachings you effortlessly pull the bubble that has been hidden in nothing, and accessible to no one, back from its resting place. Pulling it closer, your hands find it’s surface hard and glass-like as you gently press your face closer and peer inside.

He’s dreaming, as he should be. A final resting place where he could indeed rest his weary head. You know his specific hue of green like the back of your hand- like the beat of your heart. He’s your Crowbar; your Malcom, the love of your life. Preserved behind glass like some kind of taxidermy-d trophy. Except he moves, and he breathes, and he lives in a space all his own mental making.

It’s dark, but you can see the glint of a green glow. His open eyes stare into your duller ones in the dark of the bedroom, and it seems as though you’re chatting before bed in each other’s arms.

You feel the longing in your heart, the ache in every valve to return to this. To feel that warmth against you as you fall asleep, knowing the nightmares never lasted long with him around. Though as you do- your remaining hand, pressed against the surface, begins to mold and shape the would-be glass, turning it molten and sticky, then malleable like water. You shriek, recoiling and holding your hand close to your chest as you stare in shock.

It seems the bubbles know you want to see him, too.

You let loose a defiant huff through your nose, pushing yourself away from the once-again hardened bubble before pausing… and with another flick of your hands more appear, one by one, row by row. Fifteen bubbles now float before you in total, and before you leave this space you make sure to almost clinically peek into each one and make sure they all dream, one way or another.

As you begin to shift them back into the safety of nothing, your mind wanders. You remember the smallest inkling of interest in your youth of becoming a grave keeper. Keeping things tidy, respectful, maybe even a chance to chat with the deceased.

You didn’t think, for even an instant, that you’d be keeping the tombs of your family members.

Malcom’s bubble, the seventh, is the last to linger. You peer from a distance and see the glow is gone- and he simply lies there, comforted by his wife and his home, and his very own bed. Falling asleep in an already eternal slumber. For a moment, you wonder what he could possibly dream about in a dream bubble.

You hope it’s of the countryside. Of that little piece of land he wanted so desperately to run away with you to.

And than it’s back to your room- where you wince, because now you need to light a candle to dissuade the static scent in the air.

Aurora Laboratory Log First entry, 0608-22 Laboratory safety systems tested successfully. First initialization of gloriole containment assembly and establishment of associated aether field successful. Laboratory is ready for experimentation.

~*~

Zoissette was dressed in her lab coat, heavy duty gloves and boots on, goggles on her head. Next to her, flitting in the air, Lavender had manifested a tiny set of goggles to sit on her head. The two looked to one another, and both nodded.

This was the last test.

Every other test had been done. Zoissette had established both negative and positive aetheric albedos (almost falling asleep under the effects of the former) and had detected no leaks. Attempts to over pressurize the main chamber resulted in relief valves lifting appropriately. Attempting to push nuoliths past their design specifications resulted in them shunting energy and shutting off. Crystals were able to be set to different alignments, aether flows could be redirected as desired, and instrumentation dutifully recorded information.

There was one last thing to do. After this, the laboratory would effectively be in operation.

Lavender flitted over to one of the consoles while Zoissette tended to the main chamber. She made her final adjustments to the gloriole containment assembly, and then stepped back, and nodded. Lavender held her hand out to the console, a stream of energy flowing from her to it as she gave it the necessary command.

The room grew dark as power draw grew, and in the middle of the gloriole, an infinitesimally tiny silver dot appeared which rapidly grew until it nearly touched the sides of the ring-shaped assembly.

An aether field, similar in concept to that which gave rise to Ozma, though quite different in purpose and potency. A perfect sphere, which reflected the light in the room flawlessly. Zoissette could see herself, her reflection distorted in its surface.

She reached out a hand and touched it. It was completely frictionless, her hand sliding effortlessly along its outside, unable to find any purchase whatsoever. She tried to push against it, and her hand continued to slide along it. She tried again, and got the same result.

“Positive space aether field test completed satisfactory,” she said to Lavender. “Shift to negative space.”

The fairy glanced over and nodded, and a moment later, a blackness spread across the surface of the sphere, until it had consumed it entirely. It was an unusual blackness. There was no reflection at all, no variation in the blackness. It looked like a perfect disc, a hole in reality, and Zoissette realised that she could not tell which parts of the sphere were closer to her and which were not.

She reached out again. Once more, her hand moved along the outside of the sphere, or at least where she thought where the sphere might be, but this time she could not feel the sphere under her fingers. Her hand did not go through it, or at least, she was reasonably certain it didn’t. Instead it seemed to just effortless travel along the outside of the sphere. It was a much different sensation than the previous experiment had provided, and she eventually pulled her hand back, mildly unnerved by the sensation.

Still though. It was a success. An aether field that consisted of a shadow cast from the higher dimensions. Literally a gap of nothing.

After a moment, she grinned, and clasped her hands in front of her and lightly hopped up on her toes.

“Negative space aether field test also completed satisfactory. We have done it! Lavender, we have done it!” she crowed triumphantly.

Lavender made cheerful chiming noises, and Zoissette turned to give her a thumbs up. “Go ahead and shut it down for now. Now that we know that it works, oh, we have so many experiments we can run! I can not wait! I should tell…”

Zoissette’s voice trailed off, even as the sphere shrank in on itself and vanished, and Lavender came to fly excitedly in circles around her head. She smiled at the little fairy, but she began to feel a sense of melancholy to the entire affair.

She had been careful, after all. The safety tests and initialization test were very important, but also contained the possibility of risk. So, she had been certain to make sure she would not be interrupted. She had not only told her friends not to show up yet, telling them the lab was not yet ready, but she had been meticulous in planning when she would be doing her testing.

Ryss was off training with the Nymian marines. Apple was gone to the Assessor’s Guild in Limsa Lominsa to present a paper. Meya, who had shown some interest in the activities the scientists got up to in the workshop, should have been on a date, and Erick would be with her. Klynt was busy once more in Doma, with whatever her yet to be disclosed business was. Zel was undoubtedly in Old Sharlayan. Nyx she had sent on a mission. Y’shtola had travelled to Radz-at-Han to confer with the alchemists on a matter that did not need Zoissette’s assistance. G’raha and Krile were still reviewing research data. Mathye should have been on rotation. Practically anyone who Zoissette had thought might present even a little bit of a risk of checking up on her at an inopportune moment was busy elsewhere, by her own design and careful planning.

That meant, however, that nobody was here to share in her current triumph.

Which, she had to admit, dampened a bit of the glow of the moment.

Fortunately, she was used to celebrating her own successes, and was sort of used to being alone. Comfortable with it, even. No expectations from other people that way.

Just her own, which she had met.

She sat down at the counter, and Lavender flitted down to land gently next to her. The little fairy looked up at her sympathetically, and patted her arm, and she grinned back at her.

“Hey, we did it,” she reaffirmed.

She looked around at the lab.

“Sure did it,” she said quietly.

Designing control panels that are easy to use and that minimize the risk of errors.

Providing workers with clear and concise instructions on how to perform their jobs safely.

Creating break rooms and other spaces where workers can relax and socialize.

By incorporating HFE principles into the design of oil and gas facilities, companies can improve safety, efficiency, and worker well-being.

Here is a more detailed example of how HFE was used to improve the design of an oil and gas facility:

In one case, an oil and gas company was experiencing a high rate of accidents involving workers tripping and falling on slippery surfaces. The company hired an HFE consultant to help them identify and address the problem.

The HFE consultant conducted a site visit and interviewed workers to learn more about the problem. The consultant found that the slippery surfaces were caused by a combination of factors, including oil and grease spills, rainwater, and condensation.

The consultant recommended a number of solutions to the company, including:

Installing non-slip surfaces in areas where workers are likely to walk.

Improving drainage in areas where rainwater and condensation accumulate.

Providing workers with training on how to avoid slips and falls.

The company implemented the consultant's recommendations, and the rate of accidents involving slips and falls decreased significantly.

This is just one example of how HFE can be used to improve the safety of oil and gas facilities. HFE can also be used to improve efficiency and worker well-being. For example, HFE can be used to design workstations that are ergonomically correct and that minimize fatigue. HFE can also be used to develop training programs that are effective and engaging.

Here are some additional benefits of using HFE in the oil and gas industry:

Reduced costs: HFE can help to reduce the costs associated with accidents and injuries.

Improved productivity: HFE can help to improve productivity by reducing errors and improving efficiency.

Increased employee satisfaction: HFE can help to create a safer and more comfortable work environment, which can lead to increased employee satisfaction.

Overall, HFE is a valuable tool that can be used to improve safety, efficiency, and worker well-being in the oil and gas industry.
