James Interview about strategy
This is from some german magazine, translated into English by deepL, and the original text has been lost because I'm stupid. dates is roughly after the 2018 season.
The work of a strategist sounds like a dream job. After all, you only have to work for 90 minutes every two minutes every two weeks.
That's correct (grins). Most of the time, the work is already done after the first stint. So it's not even 90 minutes. And seriously, what does work look like in the factory between races? First of all, it must be stated that strategy is not an individual's job. There's a whole team behind it. Of course, I'm in the forefront and am held responsible for the success and, of course, the failure at the same time. But I can count myself lucky to have a team of very talented colleagues behind me.
How big is your department exactly?
We are five people who deal with the topic of strategy. But we don't always all work on a race weekend at the same time. With 21 races, you have to divide up the tasks somewhat. Normally there are two of us at the race track, while the others stay at the factory and support us from the so-called Race Support Room. 18 years ago, I was all alone. And you honestly have to say that back then a lot of mistakes happened. We make fewer mistakes these days, but each little mistake is much more in focus. There are many more things that we need to consider in our work. It's not just about the amount of data that has increased dramatically. You just have to make a lot more decisions. And of course the competition has also evolved. I wouldn't be surprised if Ferrari and Red Bull look a lot like ours.
During our last visit in the Race Support Room there were more than five people were present.
The five people mentioned, including me, are only responsible for strategy. But they are not the only ones in the Race Support Room. A Formula 1 car produces data all the time. Some only look after this data, others are responsible for the tyres or the aerodynamics. Another group pays attention to what our opponents are doing and then relays this information to us at the track. Not all of this information helps you. Some of it is only there to help us better understand the behaviour of our opponents. Other information is urgently needed to make important decisions that influence the course of the race.
When so many people are feeding you information, your head must explode. How do you filter out what is really important for your decision at that particular moment?
We have a fixed protocol for distributing information. A lot of it doesn't go directly to me, but to other members of the strategy team who know how the race is developing. They then filter out what could be important for me. I have access to 18 different radio channels at the command post. Depending on the importance, some of them are regulated louder, others quieter. The human brain is polarised in such a way that attention is automatically heightened by certain signal words. So you don't have to understand everything in all the noise. For example, if someone says signal words like "James", "Box" or "Red Flag", then I can hear that out of all the jumble of sounds, even if it comes over a channel that has been turned down. Hearing can be trained and gets used to picking out what is important. If you're not used to that, you probably wouldn't understand anything in the confusion. We have been working together on the pit wall for 18 years. This has created a unique relationship of trust. For example, I don't question what Andrew Shovlin thinks, and it's the same the other way round. That reduces the complexity of communication considerably.
What exactly does the preparation for the race weekend look like? Do you already have a race strategy in mind when you go to the track for the first time?
The process starts much earlier. 14 weeks before a race, we have already thought a lot about what could happen if it is particularly hot or cold. Or how the tyres behaved the previous year. Together with the experiences of the previous races, you then try to make predictions about what will happen in different conditions. With that, you have to make your tyre choice for the race weekend. A few weeks of work already go into these preparations. Then you can let the work rest for a while. Only two weeks before a Grand Prix do you open the folder again and adjust the data with the latest findings. For example, they analyse how the tyres have behaved on the asphalt locations that are comparable to the upcoming race. The million simulation processes also take into account how the competition has developed in the meantime. One examines where one's own strengths and weaknesses lie. Then a special programme is created for the race weekend to get the maximum performance out of the car and the tyres. This objective can change from time to time. Brazil was the first race after winning the World Championship titles. That's when you think about whether you can gather information on Friday that will help us for next year. On a Thursday, when the weather forecast is also very specific, the drivers already have a clear picture of what we expect from the conditions and tyre wear on the long runs on Friday.
Apart from special weather conditions, how often do you have to change the original plan?
That is more often the case. However, they are not always major adjustments. Sometimes you just change something trivial like the lap of the first pit stop or the tire choice for the second stint. But sometimes it's also major. Bere things. For example, it can happen that you actually plan to start the race on medium tires in qualifying, but then the soft tire suddenly works much better than expected. That calls for almost radical changes. You then have to postpone a medium run to the third practice session and base qualifying entirely on the soft tire. For the drivers, that can be very disruptive when you change the planned program like that. In the environment in which we work here, something like that can cost us victories.
How many scenarios do you discuss with the drivers in the strategy meeting before the race?
We always hear about Plan A, Plan B or Plan C from Ferrari. We prefer to point out factors to our drivers that they need to consider at certain key moments of the race. We're usually pretty close to reality with our predictions about the race. But there are always things you can't plan for, such as a safety car or temperature changes. The drivers then have to react correctly. Ferrari usually gives its drivers four plans. We prefer to tell the drivers how much they have to watch out for the tires when they lead the race, or what happens if they have a bad start. As a result, they don't immediately panic if they lose places early on.
We'd like to know specifically, using a few races as examples, what was planned and when the strategy was changed.
First, two positive examples: the race in Hungary, with Hamilton's late stop, and Mexico, where Hamilton came extremely early for his only tire change. In Mexico, we just told the drivers that it could happen that the tires would suddenly last longer, but that they should be more prepared for a two-stop race. A one-stop would have required a very radical change in conditions. But that's exactly the change we identified very early in the data. Even before the first pit stops. The signals from our models were so strong that we probably would have trusted them even if we had been in the lead. That's a somewhat frightening idea. It's always more difficult to make such a decision when you're in the lead because everyone else can then react.
How was it in Hungary when Hamilton still brought Verstappen to his knees with the late extra stop?
The crucial thing happened before that: We forced Red Bull into a long stint. The plan was to put Red Bull under pressure early on, either with an aggressive one-stop strategy or with a second stop. The situation in the race was difficult to predict. No one could have guessed that the two leaders would be driving alone in the field without a chaser. That usually doesn't happen. But with the data on tire wear and the length of the Red Bull's stint at some point in the race we realized that the second stop was our best chance of victory. Lewis was hanging right in Verstappen's gearbox before that. but we didn't have much to lose either. It was great that it worked out that way in the end, and it was nice to see how the fans reacted after the race. But the crucial thing wasn't the second stop itself, but that we had put Red Bull in a weakened position due to the pressure beforehand. There was a short phase of two laps at the end when Max was able to increase his pace and we doubted a little bit, so we had to motivate Lewis as well. It's difficult for the driver. From the cockpit, he can only see what's happening 200 meters in front of him. He doesn't know the simulation that tells him: Everything will be fine! For a driver, it must feel terrible to suddenly be 16 seconds behind another car and someone tells you: Don't worry, you're going to win the race.
So you understand who he sometimes complains about decisions?
Absolutely.
From the outside, however, it looks like Bottas doesn't question the decisions as often and trusts the strategy team more.
Lewis sometimes asks questions, but he accepts a decision if you explain the situation to him over the radio.
Of course, we also have to address races that didn't go optimally. We picked the chaos at Hockenheim and the race in Singapore, where Mercedes lost to Ferrari and Red Bull despite having the faster car.
Hockenheim went badly? I don't remember that at all (laughs). No, just kidding. A lot of things went wrong at the German GP. It's a good example of what happens when you suddenly fall out of a structured plan. We made a lot of mistakes. But the crucial mistake happened just before the end. During the final safety car phase, practically anyone could have won the race with a pit stop at the right time. But I'd lost confidence because I'd made mistakes earlier in the race. We know that our models and simulations aren't always right and that intuition is sometimes called for, but when a few mistakes happen in a row, you start to have doubts. You don't know what to believe anymore. And in a rain race, there are usually no good simulations. There is a lack of information. You don't know where the transitions are between rain tires and intermediates. You have to learn very quickly. I can proudly say that our team is usually very strong in such conditions because we stay calm and make good decisions as a result. But at Hockenheim we made a few clear mistakes that caused us to fall behind.
What went wrong during Lewis Hamilton's chaotic pit stop?
That was very unusual for this team. The problem was that we'd called Valtteri in for a tire change just before, while we were tracking his progress on the GPS tracker. Suddenly we see a Mercedes with a torn front wing in the pit lane, but the color of the camera didn't match Valtteri. It was Lewis. It took us eight seconds to make sure the tires that were ready were not mounted on the car, because that would have meant an immediate exclusion. You can't put the wheels of one car on another. At the same time, we had to make sure that Valtteri didn't stop in the pits behind Lewis, but drove through. Fortunately, he realized himself that he would lose positions and stayed out of his own accord. But the wrong car in the pits paralyzed us for a mo. ment. In this decision-making process, all I had to do was turn around for a moment. Then I would have seen immediately that it was far too wet for slicks. It took me ten seconds to realize that we had to put on the intermediates. The mechanics had already got the slicks when we told them not to let the car go without intermediates. That delayed things even more. It looked terrible from the outside. And it felt awful, too. Fortunately, all radio messages and GPS data are recorded. Then every single decision is analyzed together afterwards. After Hockenheim, there was an extremely long debriefing session in which everyone openly explained what they had done wrong, how the mistakes had happened and what we should do differently in the future.
Can you prepare at all for such extreme situations?
There were a few things that we could have done 100 percent better. We also questioned our way of working. From time to time, you have to look at things with a little more distance. And you can't rely solely on things like the weather forecast, you just have to look out for yourself. The whole thing has opened our eyes a bit.
And what didn't go according to plan in Singapore?
We had thought that we had an advantage over the distance with the tires. But our problem was that Leclerc slowed down so much at the beginning that we never knew how fast he could really go. I had the 2010 season finale in Abu Dhabi in mind when Webber lost the championship to Vettel because of an early pit stop. We had three cars behind us in the pit stop window. Our fear was that Leclerc would pick up the pace at the front as soon as we pitted and we would then lose a lot of time in traffic. We were so stuck in our thinking that we missed some important signs. For example, Verstappen called in on the radio and said his tires were no longer good. We made a crucial mistake in our simulation: we didn't consider what would happen if the driver in the lead was driving slowly but not taking good care of his tires. We had simply applied our own tire management model to Ferrari. Our approach would have been to keep as many cars as possible in the pit stop window. But Leclerc managed the pace in such a way that gaps opened up. So we didn't know how fast he was really capable of. We didn't know that he was already driving close to the limit. What makes this case particularly painful is that we brought Valtteri in so he wouldn't lose his position. And then we had to brake him in so that the order of our cars didn't change.
You contacted Bottas directly over the radio. What has to happen for you to talk to the drivers?
That always depends on the circumstances. Normally, I shouldn't be heard at all. When I do intervene, it often means that a driver has to act for the good of the team. In the case of Singapore, Valtteri had to make sure Albon stayed behind him. Last year, for example, I also intervened in Sochi when it came to swapping places in a race.
Do you consult with the race engineer or Toto Wolff beforehand?
Of course, this kind of thing always happens in consultation with Toto. I also inform the race engineers before I talk to their drivers. But something like this doesn't happen out of the blue. Let's take Sochi last year: We told Valtteri via the race engineer that he had two laps to overtake Verstappen. When he didn't manage that, we took over. So it didn't come as a surprise.
Does it bother you that the radio message "Hey Valtteri, it's James..."' has gained such notoriety?
No.
Hamilton decided on his own authority to delay the stop in Austin.Does something like that annoy you?
The drivers are always allowed to say if they don't agree with an instruction. We then talk about it again and make it clear when the decision is final. In this case, Lewis tried to stay out one more lap. That was detrimental to him. His race was affected by that. But there is a reason why we did not react here: This was a race in which the world championship title would be decided. I've seen this happen several times now, where drivers have a problem with team control when it comes to securing a championship. You can't try to restrict the driver in the process. We made that mistake in Abu Dhabi in 2016. We didn't want to repeat that here.
You had already briefly mentioned the final of the2010 World Championship in Abu Dhabi, where Sebastian Vettel became world champion against Mark Webber and Fernando Alonso. Alonso was on the radio at the time and tried to warn the team that they were fighting the wrong opponent. How would they have acted?
Fernando didn't say: I'm not coming in for a pit stop. He just said what he thought would have been the right strategy. When our drivers don't agree with a decision, they don't just say no. Instead, they give information that they don't agree with. In Lewis' case, it can happen that he says before a pit stop that his tires are still okay. But he only does that because he thinks he has information that the team doesn't have. And that's the right thing to do. The same applies to Valtteri. We'd even be disappointed if the drivers didn't express their opinion.
Would you agree that strategists make Formula 1 more boring with their detailed predictions and simulations?
I've been doing this job for 19 years now. My opinion is that this season we have seen some of the best Grands Prix I can remember. I include races where we didn't look good. What made Ös terreich, Hockenheim, Budapest or Spa so great was the joint battle of drivers and strategy against other teams. And they did it in such a way that the races had spectacular endings that no one could have foreseen. We see that teams operate at a high level and cars fight directly against each other closely on the track, which is a new evolutionary stage. In the past, teams simply ran circles around their opponents thanks to strong drivers, pit stops and strategy. But that kind of thing doesn't happen anymore. I hope that this Formula One year will be remembered not only for our historic title win, but also because we produced some spectacular races.
But wouldn't it be even more interesting if strategists had to listen more to their instincts?
It's true that our forecasts are getting better and better. But it also leads us to take more risks. I agree with you that spectators don't want to see strategists settling the race among themselves. They want to see heroes on the track. performing an incredible overtaking maneuver. That's why people love this sport. A race with less information-for example, because of rain on Friday-may be more unpredictable and therefore more interesting. But I don't think that's a reason to take information away from the teams.
The DTM has introduced a radio ban. The drivers now have to act more independently. What do you think of that?
For me, Formula 1 is the pinnacle of motorsport. That means that it's not individuals who fight against each other, but entire teams. We at the track are just the tip of the iceberg. Behind us are more than a thousand other people who support us. The entire team pulls together to win races in the end. That makes the whole thing unique. That's why I think it's positive. Not because I'm a crazy engineer who loves doing the job, but because I think it's a team sport.

REST and HTTP semantics
Roy Fielding created REST as his doctorate dissertation. After reading it at https://ics.uci.edu/~fielding/pubs/dissertation/top.htm,
I would boil it down to three basic elements:
A document that describes object state
A transport mechanism to transmit the object state back and forth between systems
A set of operations to perform on the state
While Roy was focused solely on http, I don't see why another transport could not be used, here are some examples:
Mount a WebDAV share (WebDAV is an HTTP extension, so is still using HTTP). Copy a spreadsheet (.xls, .xlsx, .csv, .ods) into the mounted folder, where each row is the new/updated state. The act of copying into the share indicates the operation of upserting, the name of the file indicates the type of data, the columns are the fields. The server responds with (document name)-status.(document suffix), which provides a key for each row, a status, and possibly an error message. In this case, it does not really make sense to request data.
Use gRPC. The object transmitted is the document, HTTP is the transport, the name of the remote method is the operation. Data can be both provided and requested.
Use FTP. Similar to WebDAV, it is file based. The PUT command is upserting, the GET command is requesting. GET only provides a filename, so generally provides all data of the specified type. It is possible to allow for special filenames that indicate a hard-coded filter to GET a subset of data.
Whenever I see REST implementation in the wild, they often do not follow basic HTTP semantics, and I have never seen any explanation given for this, just a bunch of varying opinions. None of those I found referenced the RFC. Most seem to figure that:
POST = create
PUT = update whole document
PATCH = update a portion of document
GET = retrieve whole document
This is counter to what HTTP (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9110#name-method-definitions) states regarding POST and PUT:
PUT is create or update. GET generally returns whatever was last PUT. If PUT creates, it MUST return 201 Created. If PUT updates, it MUST return 200 OK or 204 No Content. The RFC suggests the content for 200 OK of a PUT should be the status of the action. I think it would ok in the case of SQL to return the new row from a select statement. This has the advantage that any generated columns are returned to the caller without having to perform a separate GET.
POST processes a resource according to its own semantics. Older RFCs said POST is for subordinates of a resource. All versions give the example of posting an article to a mailing list, all versions say if a resource is created that 201 Created SHOULD be returned.
I would argue that effectively what POST really means is:
Any data manipulation except create, full/partial update, or delete
Any operation that is not data manipulation, such as: performing a full text search for rows that match a phrase, or generate a GIS object to display on a map
The word MUST means your implementation is only HTTP compliant if you do what is stated. Using PUT only for updates obviously won't break anything, just because it isn't RFC compliant. If you provide clients that handle all the details of sending/receiving data, then what verbs get used won't matter much to the user of the client.
I'm the kind of guy who wants a reason for not following the RFC. I have never understood the importance of separating create from update in REST APIs, any more than in web apps. Think about cell phone apps like calendar appointments, notes, contacts, etc:
Create is hitting the plus icon, which displays an new form with empty or default values
Update is selecting an object and hitting the pencil icon, which displays an entry form with current values
Once the entry form appears, it works exactly the same in terms of field validations
So why should REST APIs and web front ends be any different than cell phone apps? If it is helpful to phone users to get the same data entry form for create and update, wouldn't it be just as helpful to API and web users?
If you decide to use PUT as create or update, and you're using SQL as a store, most vendors have an upsert query of some sort. Unfortunately, that does not help to decide when to return 200 OK or 201 Created. You'd have to look at the information your driver provides when a DML query executes to find a way to distinguish insert from update for an upsert, or use another query strategy.
A simple example would be to perform an `update set ... where pk column = pk value`. If one row was affected, then the row exists and was updated, otherwise the row does not exist and an insert is needed. On Postgres, you can take advantage of the RETURNING clause, which can actually return anything, not just row data, as follows:
INSERT INTO <table> VALUES (...) ON CONFLICT(<pk column>) DO UPDATE SET (...) RETURNING (SELECT COUNT(<pk column>) FROM <table> WHERE <pk column> = <pk value>) exists
The genius of this is that:
The sub select in the RETURNING clause is executed first, so it determines if the row exists before the INSERT ON CONFLICT UPDATE query executes. The result of the query is one column named "exists", which is 1 if the row existed before the query executed, 0 if it did not.
The RETURNING clause can also return the columns of the row, including anything generated that was not provided.
You only have to figure out once how to deal with if an insert or update is needed, and make a simple abstraction that all your PUTs can call that handles 200 OK or 201 Created.
One nice benefit of using PUT as intended, is that as soon as you see a POST you know for certain it is not retrieval or persistence, and conversely you know to search for POST to find the code for any operation that is not retrieval or persistence.
I think the benefits of using PUT and POST as described in the RFC outweigh whatever reasons people have for using them in the way that is not RFC compliant.

One For The Team
Maybe you saw their commercial during the Super Bowl. More than likely you have stumbled over their ads in your social news feeds. The odds are good that you have at least heard of them, even if you haven’t shopped there yet. Their tag line? “Shop like a billionaire.” And Temu has surpassed Amazon, Walmart, and Target put together as the most-downloaded app.


Temu (pronounced “tee-moo”) is the new online shopping site that wants to give Amazon a run for its money. And just like Jeff Bezos upset the apple cart back in 1995 when Amazon launched, Temu, which debuted in September 2022, aims to do the same with its rock-bottom prices, and by eliminating a middleman along the way.
Tumblr media
Temu is based in Boston, but is owned by PDD Holdings, a company based in Shanghai China.  PDD also owns Pinduoduo, one of the most successful e-commerce companies there. Items are shipped directly from Chinese vendors, instead of relying on US warehousing and shipping.
In three short paragraphs, I have already tossed out several potential red flags that should give would-be customers pause:


a) ridiculously low prices b) Chinese-owned c) Chinese-made d) overseas shipping


In the era of TikTok bans by more than half of US states, worries about weather balloons, quality, data, 7-15-day arrival times, and…I could go on, but I won’t…I can see this one having a tough time gaining traction right now. And yet they are aggressively pursuing us. I can’t go a day without seeing them in my feed, and now the media have latched onto them as well. 


There is no doubt that PDD is cash-rich. Their $7 million ad on the Super Bowl is testament to that, not to mention the 8900 ad placements on Facebook and Instagram. They clearly want to make a splash.


But will people take the bait? I realize that low prices, especially during a period of high inflation, can be appealing, at least on the surface. But even though we have all embraced—willingly or not—the idea of Made In China products in our homes and on our bodies, will we provide our personal information and credit card numbers to buy things more or less directly from a company that is clearly tethered to a nation we don’t exactly trust very much?
I am not one for conspiracy theories, but I can see how skeptics might think that both TikTok and Temu are the new Trojan horse, and not a lot unlike that balloon. It’s just that these are more subtle, because they offer entertainment and shopping, yet manage to get their foot in the door. Lots of doors. And maybe more than just their foot.


Of course, you may also be wondering how Chinese fast-fashion purveyor Shein (pronounced “she-in”) fits into this. Shein is a competitor to Temu and Pinduoduo, and offers similarly low prices for what is arguably disposable clothing. But hey, you’ll look good for one or two nights of clubbing.
I could be wrong on all of this. Maybe Temu is for real, and everything will turn out OK in the long-run. Maybe Amazon will be forced to react, although their 2-day shipping and easy returns are hard to beat. What are you going to do if that dress doesn’t fit just right, or the sunglasses you bought fell apart the first time you wore them? Send them back to China? Good luck with that.


You see, we really have no problem with buying Chinese-made products. That ship sailed long ago. It’s just that we have American filters in place, like Amazon, to—we hope—properly vet and manage everything. They ostensibly keep us safe from those Trojan horses and balloons.
Color me wary. I’m watching and waiting, but I am in no hurry to go shopping just yet. Besides, I really don’t want to shop like a billionaire, much less be one.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
ff.net has been in complete shambles for the past several years and is a notorious hive for plagiarism. The mods also nuked thousands of fics from the platform for reasons ranging from justified to incredibly questionable, and the site has had two of these mass purges in its lifetime. It's also been on the decline for years with constant outages, unresponsive mods, and a piss-poor tagging and search function. The owners of the site do not seem keen on even really giving the base code a spit shine, and I'd really question the security of it overall. I would not be surprised if they have a major data breach in the years to come. Don't get me wrong, I love it to death in a nostalgic way, but I can see why it's not exactly a great place to post fic these days.
Wattpad, usually the second site mentioned in these discussions, hosts tagged erotica alongside the rest of its content with no filter by default. This means you can find erotica in any search query you use unless you specifically exclude the tag. It's also a notorious hive for rpf, and allows rpf erotica. It also allows sexual content of 16 year olds, as it states in its code of conduct that, quote, "the age of consent is 16+ on Wattpad".
And really, those are the only notable contenders against ao3. Any other website you could list would fall into "niche" territory, and most writers do want their work to be seen so they can gain traction and potentially a clientele later on if they want to enter writing professionally. Plus, blogging sites like Tumblr tend to not be very conducive to posting fic as they aren't designed with a book format in mind, so word limits are tighter, you have to manually stitch a sort of chapter browser together by yourself as you post the fic, readers will encounter your fic in reverse chronological order, and honestly I could go on. Plus, Tumblr's tagging system is also complete garb, and if people don't reblog your fic, you're SOL. So, while I've heard of Fanfiction Online and have seen some promise in Quotev (I've made an account there recently, so consider that a "to be continued"), sadly, in terms of usability and popularity, all alternatives are overshadowed to the point of complete obscurity by the behemoth that is ao3.
Trust me, I hate that website and the cesspool it plays host to. Ever since I learned just how bad it was over there, I haven't spent a single second of my time on it. However, I can't blame aspiring writers for using it in the same way I can't blame other content creators for using YouTube rather than Dailymotion or Vimeo, despite YouTube's openly predatory practices towards their artists and child audiences (the Elsagate stuff never stopped, they're just using Mickey and Sonic now). The site holds a soft monopoly over the realm of fanfiction publication, and it's going to take a website that directly outclasses it in terms of user-friendliness to even really start giving it trouble and to convince the majority of the audience to switch over.
I'm all for taking as much of an audience away from that hellhole as possible though, so I'll gladly vouch for any alternative website that directly outclasses ao3 purely by design. Hell, ao3's code is completely open-source. If anyone manages to literally make a better ao3 (maybe even implementing those lofty promises of multimedia support that they've been harping on for years, hm?), I'll make an account on there the moment I hear of it and spread the word of it as far as I can manage.
Honestly, I think it really speaks to the state of fan culture overall that the best place to view and post fanfiction online is a csem hive, and I really want to change that message if I can. Unfortunately though, as much as I want a viable alternative, we're stuck between YouTube and Dailymotion, and I cannot blame anyone for wanting to stay away from Dailymotion.
Also @proship-blocklist since it was your post that was involved in this, feel free to add your input as an author/reader if you feel so inclined.

The more I learn about it the more convinced I am that the entire science industrial complex has to be destroyed if we are going to survive climate change.
Climate science relies on remote sensing and global data collection, meaning it isn't possible without the GPS system (maintained by the United States government), the expansion of drone production, and the internet. All of these apparatuses require international shipping for the complex supply chain neccesary to produce these tools, they require the ability to launch things into space, they require large amounts of consistent power generation, a functioning highway system consistently maintained and unobstructed. All of these things require mass ecological death and mass police control.
More and more, science is reliant on statistics, mass data collection/analysis, and unending factory production.
It requires visibility and legibility of the entire earth, a feat which is only possible through the expansion of police/property power; the same software that is used to map out wetlands and conserved forests are used to map out real estate and tax brackets, dissidents and drug dealers.
The complete mapping and observation of the world exactly coincides with the mapping and observation of our lives, one is not possible without the other. The methods of climate scientists, archeologists, and foresters are increasingly similar to the methods of armies, crimonologists, and real estate developers, often times with the same software.
The scientific apparatus is what allows the ruling class to aspire to the complete management of every atom on earth, the eco-progressives as much as the neoliberal warhawks. In order for this grand mapping and policing to function, everything that could not be managed, made legible, be completely exposed, had to be destroyed. Travellers who eschew property are treated as non-human. Animals and the ecosystem are managed with the same methods as parole violators. Personas, even allegedly radical ones, are allowed to exist only if they have associated consumption patterns compatible with existing infrastructure.
It is difficult to imagine a more complete hell. Anything that cannot be computerized is destroyed, and even the climate scientist who apprehensively monitors the remaining natural world can only watch as it disintigrates at their touch.
Our own intensities are blocked and filtered like hydro-electric dams, our diversities starved off like endagered species. The world is made dead and unmoving, constrained to pre-approved flow paths. Even the most progressive and benevolent cybernetician can only understand us to the degree that we enter into their system of objects. But like the wetlands, we are disintigrating beneath their gaze; we aren't numbers, we aren't focus groups, we aren't electrons in a circuit board. We are alive, we are present, and in their eyes this is unforgivable.
Personification must be resisted. Management must be made inpossible. Visibility must be obscured. Lines must be blurred.
And the scientific apparatus must go.

Part 10 of the other side AU concept!  Next up will be the epilogue scenes.  As a reminder from Part 1, the current state of the New Republic here takes more from the EU than it does from the new canon (though has some nods in that direction), because I’m more familiar with the EU and like it more.
Previous: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8 Part 9
About 6.5K below the break.
***
Only General Airen Cracken, the head of Rebel Intelligence, and Leia Organa were present when Hera did her post-mission debrief.  She suspected that this op was going to be the kind whose reports were mysteriously lost – that if they ever existed at all – but as it was she gave Cracken and Leia the truth as best she could.
When she had finished, Cracken and Leia glanced at each other.  The small office was quiet for a long time, broken only by the hum of the air filters on the big warship and the sound of steps in the corridor beyond the closed door.
Cracken turned the data card with the Cluster-Prism files over in his fingers, frowning to himself. He was a human male with graying fair hair, his mild expression belying the sharpness in his eyes.  After a few moments, he said, “I would say that none of what you just told us leaves this room, but I assume under the circumstances you’ll be informing members of your old crew the details.”
“I could hardly not,” Hera said, forbearing to point out that most of them had been there when she had returned.  Luke and Ahsoka had taken Kanan off to talk to him privately; since Hera hadn’t heard any alarm klaxons yet, either they had all killed each other quietly or it was going as well as it could under the circumstances.  Luke and Ahsoka didn’t get along at the best of times and this wasn’t those.
Cracken tapped the edge of the data card on his desk, then shrugged and said, “This should get us a step ahead of Warlord Zsinj – several steps ahead, with any luck.  Will you be transferring back to the Lodestar?  You’re due some leave that I assume you’ll want to take under the circumstances.”
“Airen, you know as well as I do that a general never really gets to go on leave,” Hera said dryly, which made the corner of his mouth quirk up in a grin.
“I do that.”  He pulled open a desk drawer, removed something, and tossed it to her. “By the way, the Council vote was four days ago. Alliance commissions are automatically transferred to the New Republic, but if you did want a new assignment, this would be the time to ask.”
Hera caught the neat circle of embroidered fabric and inspected it; the new insignia was the Rebel Alliance starbird surrounded by fifteen starbursts.  She turned the patch over in her fingers, thinking.
“Hera?” Cracken said, when she had been silent too long for comfort.
Hera put the patch down on the desk in front of her, smoothing her fingers over the starbird, and looked up at Cracken. “I’m going to resign my commission.”
His sandy eyebrows shot up. “Why?”
“There’s something I’ve needed to do for a long time,” Hera said slowly, “and I’ve put it aside for far too long.  I can’t do that anymore.”
“You’re talking about Ezra Bridger,” Leia said.
Hera glanced at her. “Yes.”
Cracken rubbed a hand over his chin. “I’ve read those files.  Vanished off into the Unknown Regions with Grand Admiral Thrawn and what was left of the Seventh Fleet.”
Hera nodded.
“I met Thrawn, back in the old days,” Cracken remarked.  “If he ever returned, we could be in for a bigger fight than Zsinj and Isard and the rest of that lot have been giving us.  Do you have any reason to think they’re out there? Bridger, Thrawn, the Chimaera, any of the other ships from the Seventh?”
“No more reason than to think they’re not,” Hera said. “I won’t be alone.”
“Mmm.”  Cracken tapped his fingers on the table.  “Not being from Starfighter Command or representing High Command in this case, I can’t accept your resignation, General Syndulla. I will say that since the Council vote, we’ve already had a rash of personnel resigning, officers and enlisted alike.  Some of them aren’t interested in going legit, others believe that the Council vote means the war is over.”  He shook his head.  “As long as there’s even one Imperial Remnant ship or base out there, the war will never be over.  You’d be surprised at how many people don’t believe that, though.”
“No, I wouldn’t.”
He snorted.  “No, you wouldn’t.  You’re like the rest of us old-timers.  We saw too much.  Kills our credibility as far as the kids who joined up after Yavin or even Endor think, let alone the ones who lived through Cinder.”  He leaned back in his chair, sharp eyes considering.  “You’re too good an officer to lose, Hera.”
She stiffened, but he held up a finger to silence her before she could protest.
“Let me finish before you tell me to go to hell and flounce off with that resurrected boyfriend of yours.”
“I never flounce, Airen. And it’s fiancé.”
His eyebrows went up. “Congratulations are in order, I suppose.”  Then he frowned. “Is this for the damn pension?  Because as I recall, technically Jarrus was never an Alliance officer –”
Leia stirred and said, “It’s in the Articles that members of informal rebel cells have the right to apply for retroactive status if they couldn’t formally join the Alliance due to captivity, distance, or other reasons –”
“Such as being dead?” Cracken said.
Hera met his gaze. “Prove it.”
He massaged his forehead. “Oh, for love of the Force.”
“The last formal rank he held was commander,” Hera said.
“In the Grand Army of the Republic, I assume.”
“There’s precedent. Rex –”
Cracken waved a hand. “I’ll sign the datawork if that’s what you want.  If it’s just for the pension rather than actually finding him a command –” He tapped a finger on the data card. “This does count for something, but we’re a bit short of commands at the moment.”
“What, even with officers resigning left and right?” Hera asked.
“That’s not the problem. The Governing Council wants to reduce the size of the military, despite the fact that nothing actually changed after they had the vote and we’ve still got Zsinj and Gideon and half a dozen other warlords out there.”
Her voice very dry, Leia said, “There’s a faction in the Council that believes that once we have an established government again with a senate and maybe a chancellor or a president or whatever we decide to call it that most of the Remnant holdouts and the independents will fall in line.”
Hera rolled her eyes. “Has Borsk Fey’lya actually talked to any of the independents?”
“You can tell me if you think your father would pick up his calls.”
Hera snorted softly. Ryloth had refused the offer to formally join the Rebel Alliance until certain conditions were met, which the Alliance Council had been refusing to grant for the past year.  With the Curia in disarray after almost twenty years of the Empire doing its best to delegitimize it, Cham Syndulla had managed to get the bulk of political power on Ryloth in his own hands, for better or worse.  “Not the last time I spoke to him, which was only two weeks ago.  We’re getting off-topic, Airen.  And yes, the pension would be useful; just use the carbonite forms and leave the being dead part out of it; it isn’t like it’s never happened before.  But that’s not what I’m talking about.”
“Starfighter Command won’t accept your resignation without a good reason, and maybe not even then,” Cracken said, with a wince at the words “carbonite forms.”  They hadn’t been used often, but they were a datawork nightmare for everyone involved.
“Why not?  I’m a decent combat commander, but there are plenty of others who are just as good or better, and you can’t tell me that some of the people thinking about retiring wouldn’t be just as happy training pilots, so I’m not exactly necessary there.”
He ticked off reasons on his fingers.  “You’re young, you’re pretty, you’re a woman, you’re not human, you’re a general – for that matter, you’re from one of the independent worlds in the Outer Rim and in high society back on Ryloth, even if most Core Worlders see that as the back of beyond – because most Core Worlders see that as the back of beyond –”
Hera frowned. “What does any of that have to do with it?”
“Apparently Ackbar had this conversation with Wedge Antilles while you were gone over some hot new project Antilles has in mind – nothing to do with you, but Antilles pointed out that most of the best-known officers in the Alliance – excuse me, the New Republic – are human, and mostly male.  Except for you,” he added to Leia, who grimaced.  “You, General Hera Syndulla,” Cracken went on, pointing at her, “are a PR officer’s dream.  I guarantee that whenever you get back to the Lodestar there will be a message waiting for you with orders to report for a HoloNet interview and probably a photoshoot.  All very reserved but sexy, to make it clear that the New Republic is open to everyone and that we’re not the Empire; even a Twi’lek woman can rise high.”
Hera fought down the memory of the younger Hera’s anguished voice saying, Most humans just think certain things about Twi’lek women. I’m sure even your Rebel Alliance is like that.  “If you’re trying to convince me not to resign, it’s not working.”
“It won’t matter, because Starfighter Command won’t accept your resignation, and Ackbar won’t for the same reason if you try to go over their heads to him.  He doesn’t look good on the front of a holomag unless you happen to be another Mon Cala.”
Hera rubbed a hand over her face.  “Please just stop talking or I won’t even bother with resigning and just desert.”
“Yes, please do,” Leia said dryly.  To Hera she added, “You’re not the only one, but I don’t work as well for it because I’m human and a princess of Alderaan.  And married, but a really good reporter could spin that if they wanted to.”
“I’m trying to get married,” Hera pointed out. “Get to the point, Airen.”
“You were seconded to Intelligence for this operation,” Cracken said. “I can’t accept your resignation, but I could give you a new assignment.  And right now no one’s going to notice if you’re transferred here permanently, with all the datawork chaos from the transition.”  He held up a hand to still her protest.  “You may need a New Republic general’s authority if you’re out in the Unknown Regions searching for a missing Imperial fleet.  We’ve had rumors about Thrawn for years; he’s been the bogeyman beneath the Alliance’s bed since well before Endor.  Since Jakku, more than a few Imperials have vanished, claiming they’re off to find him.  If he’s out there, then we need to find him before they do, and they have a head start.”
Hera leaned back in her chair, frowning.  “Starfighter Command is not going to like you poaching me anymore than they’ll like me resigning.”
Cracken and Leia exchanged a glance. “I can handle the fallout,” Leia said. “There’s enough else going on right now that no one is going to notice for a while, since you’re seconded already.”
Hera turned her frown on Cracken. “What do you get out of this?”
“We get someone out in the Unknown Regions looking for Thrawn,” Cracken said, raising an eyebrow. “Which I’ve been asking for since Endor, but we’ve never had the resources to send anyone out there.  We still don’t, but if you’re going anyway –”  He tilted his head.
Hera suspected there was a trap in here somewhere, but as it went Intelligence didn’t have so many generals in it that anyone but Cracken could give her orders.  “I agree with conditions,” she said.
“What are those?”
“I don’t answer to anyone but you – or Ackbar,” she had to concede, since as the commander-in-chief of the New Republic military he had precedence even over divisional commands, “– and my crew draws a salary.”
Cracken closed his eyes briefly, clearly annoyed, but just said, “Agreed.  We’ll discuss the specifics later.”
Hera and Leia left a few minutes after that, letting the door slide shut behind them as they stepped out into the corridor.
“I have something for you that I didn’t want to give you in front of General Cracken,” Hera told her quietly, drawing her aside into an empty room.  She withdrew the box Bail Organa had given her from the bag slung over her shoulder, holding it out to Leia.
For a long moment Leia just looked at it.  Eventually, she reached out, her fingers hovering just above the silver insignia inlaid in the fine wood of the lid, then she snatched her hand back as though she couldn’t bear to touch it.  Hera didn’t protest, just waited patiently as Leia stared at it.
She hadn’t left her meeting with Bail Organa out of her report, though she hadn’t conveyed the exact content of their conversation either, not having a Jedi’s near-eidetic memory.
Finally, Leia reached out with shaking hands and took the box from her.  She didn’t open it, just drew it in against herself, cradling it against her chest.  Her voice a little shaky, she said, “He was…well?”
“Yes,” Hera said.  She started to reach out, then hesitated, not certain if Leia wanted the comfort or not.
Leia didn’t seem to see her. She whispered, “They’ll live. They’ll all live.  Somewhere else, even if not…here.  They’ll live.”  She bit her lip, then looked up, her eyes brimming with tears.  “I’d like to be alone now.”
Hera nodded.  She touched Leia’s shoulder briefly and found that the younger woman was trembling; Hera squeezed her shoulder and then left her alone, letting the door slide closed behind her.
*
She was on her way back to the Ghost, docked in one of the massive warship’s several bays, when she ran into Ahsoka.  Hera stopped at the other woman’s gesture, stepping aside into a mostly empty wardroom.  The only two officers already there cleared out when they saw Hera’s general’s insignia, saluting her briefly before they left.
Hera eyed Ahsoka a bit warily.  While they had been friendly in the old days with Phoenix Squadron, Hera had never been able to feel anything other than resentful of Ahsoka’s return from Malachor, nor had she been able to shake the suspicion that the other woman was keeping something from her.  Something had changed there, something more drastic than the circumstances had suggested. Hera was vaguely aware that that was more than a little unfair, given what those circumstances had been, but she couldn’t bring herself to care.  It helped that since her return Ahsoka had avoided her and most of the other members of the Rebel Alliance, preferring to go off on her own rather than take any formal role.
“Before you ask,” Ahsoka said, “it was my decision to bring Jacen here.  Sabine went to get him from Ryloth.  I spoke to General Syndulla before she arrived.”
Hera felt the muscle in her jaw twitch.  Political reasons meant her father couldn’t set foot on a New Republic ship and thus couldn’t have come with Jacen; Ahsoka must have been very convincing to get him to agree to this.  “I hope you have a good explanation for why you thought my five-year-old son ought to be on a warship.”
Ahsoka tucked her hands behind her back, frowning. “Believe me, Hera, if I hadn’t thought it was necessary I never would have brought him here.  Rex didn’t find me until after you had already left.”
“That still doesn’t explain why my son is here,” Hera said, crossing her arms over her chest.
“Because I didn’t think we would be able to get you back without him,” Ahsoka said. “And we nearly didn’t even with him here.”
Hera frowned at her. “Explain.”
Ahsoka sighed and looked around, then dropped into the nearest armchair and folded her legs in front of her.  Hera sat too, a little stiffly; the chairs and couches in the room were all mismatched and hard-worn, but comfortable enough compared to the inside of a cockpit.
“When Luke sent you away – sent you over there – he had to have a – for lack of a better word, an anchor, a target.  That was why they had to use you and not someone else.”  She rubbed briefly at her forehead, suddenly looking every day of her thirty-odd years.
Hera nodded warily. “No one else with a high enough clearance for this op could be relatively certain of being able to access the same place they probably were before Scarif. We weren’t even sure just using the Ghost would work, except it did.”
“She – the Hera Syndulla from that universe, I mean – was there when you arrived?” Ahsoka inquired, looking briefly curious.
“Not in the room.  She said she was just outside the ship – the Ghost was docked in a hangar on Naboo.”
“Hmm.”  Ahsoka smoothed the side of her thumb over the armor plate resting across her crossed legs, her expression academically curious for an instant before she drew herself back to the subject at hand. “Having her there, in the Ghost, in a specific time span, gave Luke something to aim for.  It could have been any number of other universes, too, other – other possibilities.”
Hera nodded.  “Kanan – the other Kanan – said that the reason Luke had to use those constraints because he wasn’t aiming for anything very, very specific.  He had to have a range, but not one which was too wide.”
Ahsoka frowned in thought. “I suppose.  I didn’t think about it like that, but the dialect on the artifact is very archaic. My grasp on it is better than Luke’s, but I came to the same conclusion he did.”  She looked up, her brows drawing together.  “The…other Kanan.  He didn’t use an artifact or a focus of any kind?”
Hera shook her head. “He said he didn’t need to.  He said that Jedi didn’t use artifacts like that for anything they couldn’t do naturally, those just made it easier, but he also didn’t think he would be able to manage it if he didn’t know who he was looking for or if I wasn’t there, because otherwise he would have to – to sort through all the options, and he didn’t think he could do that.”
The other woman nodded slowly, her frown deepening.  For a moment she looked like she was considering commenting on that, then she shook her head and said, “Anyway, that’s going there.  Coming back is harder, especially since you’re not a Force-user and can’t direct yourself.  Going there, the other Hera Syndulla could act as an anchor for you, to – to pull you into that universe.  But to come back to this universe – well, you’re not here.  You’re already gone.  One of the holocrons Luke found talked about people getting lost in the transition.”  She flattened her palms on her knees.  “We didn’t find the reference until after you had left.”
“What does Jacen have to with any of that?” Hera asked, deciding to worry about that later.
“Jacen is your son,” Ahsoka said. “Blood of your blood, bone of your bone, to be old-fashioned about it. Your father probably would have worked just as well, but –”
“But he can’t set foot on an Alliance – a New Republic ship unless Ryloth joins the New Republic,” Hera said, rubbing a hand over her face.  “You could have taken the Ghost to Ryloth instead of bringing Jacen here.”
Ahsoka shook her head. “The same reason but the other way around.  And General Cracken wouldn’t allow it, since this was an Intelligence operation.  I did ask.”
Hera ground her teeth and bit back her first few responses to that.  When she didn’t say anything, Ahsoka went on, “We thought that Jacen would be able to serve as an anchor for you in this universe, especially because he’s Force-sensitive.  We weren’t counting on –”
“Kanan?” Hera filled in for her when she hesitated, and Ahsoka winced.
“No.  He…probably helped you along, but it’s hard to tell. It’s not like any of this has been done in living memory.”  She glanced aside, clearly uncomfortable.
“Jacen is Kanan’s son too,” Hera pointed out.
“Yes,” Ahsoka admitted, looking even more uncomfortable. “I’m sure that helped.  I don’t know what would have happened if your father had been here instead of Jacen.”  She added with the ghost of a smile, “You should probably comm your father when you have a chance.”
“I’ll do that,” Hera said dryly. “He’d probably like to know that Kanan’s back and we’re getting married, too.”
Ahsoka sat up so abruptly that Hera heard her back pop. “What?”
“We’re getting married,” Hera repeated, raising an eyebrow.
Ahsoka pushed to her feet and paced the room, as if she suddenly couldn’t bear being seated any longer. Hera turned her head to watch her, frowning. “Do you have a problem with that?”
“No, of course not,” Ahsoka said, her voice strained and the words seemingly automatic; almost in the same breath she finished, “Yes.”
Hera felt the muscle in her jaw jump. “You and Kanan used to be friends.”  You and I used to be friends, she thought, but held back the words.  They weren’t enemies, but it had been a long time since they had been friends. Some of that was due to Hera’s inability to look at any Force-user without thinking, it should have been Kanan, but Ahsoka had pulled away from everyone except Rex after she had come back from Malachor.
Ahsoka stopped pacing. She was still facing away from Hera, but Hera could tell that she had her arms crossed over her chest, her shoulders hunched in.  “We were. We are.”
Hera rubbed a hand over her face.  She wanted to go back to the Ghost, reassure herself of Kanan’s presence, hug her son, and comm her father, but apparently she had to deal with this first. “Do you have something against my son?”
“Jacen’s a very nice boy,” Ahsoka said without turning around.  She was quiet for a long moment, then she said, “Do you know who Luke’s father is?”
“A Jedi Knight who was killed during the Purge,” Hera said.  She and Luke had talked about it a little when they had been stationed on Hoth together; he had sought her out after someone had told him about Kanan and Ezra.
“Anakin Skywalker,” Ahsoka said, a wealth of pain in her voice. “He was my master.  And he didn’t die during the Purge.”  She took a deep breath, then turned around to face Hera. “You might know him better as Darth Vader.”
Hera blinked rapidly.
“I don’t think – I know Kanan.  I knew Kanan. The situation isn’t the same.  I just –” Ahsoka bit her lower lip.
“You had better not be saying what it sounds like you’re saying,” Hera said quietly.
Ahsoka closed her eyes briefly. “After – Malachor – I did some digging.  During the Clone War I’d made assumptions – well, we all had. It’s not as though Jedi never had affairs, though we weren’t permitted commitments outside the Order.  And Padmé – Luke’s mother – had been a friend of mine. We all knew they were having an affair. Except it wasn’t an affair.  They had been married in secret just after the war started.”  There was agony on her face as she looked at Hera.  “Anakin broke his vows, and because of it the Order died.  They all died.”
Hera got to her feet. “Kanan isn’t him.”
“I know that!” Ahsoka snapped.  She took a deep breath, putting one hand on the back of the chair nearest her.
“And the Jedi Order is a generation in its grave.  There’s no one left but you and Kanan.”
“I know that too,” Ahsoka said.  She was clutching the back of the chair so tightly that Hera heard the suede of her gauntlets creak.
Hera crossed her arms over her chest. “Does Luke know you knew his father?”
Ahsoka shook her head. “Knowing wouldn’t serve any purpose.  The Anakin Skywalker I knew…”  She let the words trail off, then shook her head again.  “I can’t look at him and think of anything but what Anakin did, and I won’t burden him with that more than he is already.  That’s not a ghost he needs to carry with him.”
“Is it one that you need to?” Hera asked her quietly.
“If I could set it aside I would,” Ahsoka said.  She sounded unspeakably weary. “But everyone I know died.  That isn’t an exaggeration.  Everyone I know – except Rex – died because of him, because he decided to break his vows and we all loved him so much we let him.”  She rubbed a hand over her face, briefly dislodging her headband.  “Hera, it’s nothing against Kanan, truly, or you, or Jacen.  But Anakin was a good person too, and so was Padmé.  And – and everyone died.  All of them.  Padmé, Obi-Wan, the Order, the clones, the Republic – they all died because of Anakin. The Emperor as well, but – Anakin sided with that.  And I’ll never know why, not really.  I did what I could to find out, but – but everyone is dead.  There’s no one left who knows.  They’re all dead.  And Anakin did that.”
She looked up at Hera. “That’s what I see every time I look at Luke.  I won’t give him that burden, but I can’t set it aside either.”
“Is that what you think about Kanan and me?” Hera asked her. “That we’re on the knife’s edge of everyone dying?”
“No,” Ahsoka said. “No.  But when you said it –”  She hesitated, then went on, “– when you said it, it was the only thing I could think of. And I know you and I knew Kanan, but I knew Anakin too.”  She looked at the chair she was gripping, then sighed and moved around to drop into it. “I knew you and Kanan were involved before, but I didn’t – I didn’t have to know it, if that makes sense.  And I didn’t know about Anakin then.  When I came back, I did know, and – and you had Jacen.  And Luke was there too, and I couldn’t…I couldn’t bear it. I know it’s not fair,” she added defensively as Hera glared at her.
“No, it’s not.”  She tried to bite back the sarcasm in her voice, but suspected she didn’t succeed.  She stood there, looking at Ahsoka’s slumped form in the armchair, and said the first thing that came to mind, “Did you tell Kanan you were worried about him snapping and murdering us all?”
Ahsoka looked badly startled. “No, of course not.  We had other things to discuss.”  She grimaced, then added, “And Luke was there, and some of what I have to say to Kanan I won’t say in front of him.”
Oh, this should be good, Hera thought.  She had always thought of Ahsoka as fairly even-tempered, but the handful of occasions where she hadn’t managed to avoid Luke had been memorable for everyone with the misfortune to be in the vicinity. “Then if you’re not going to say it to me, I need to go comm my father.”
She was almost at the door when Ahsoka said slowly, “Hera –”
 She turned back. “What?”
Ahsoka bit her lower lip. She was quiet for a long moment, then she said, “Ezra could have brought Kanan back six years ago, when he brought me back, and I stopped him.”
Hera froze.
Ahsoka looked back at her, her gaze weary. “There was a reason –”
“I don’t care,” Hera said. Her mind felt as though it had gone blank with either shock or rage; she wasn’t sure which at this point.  She balled up her fists at her sides, not certain either whether she just needed something to do with her hands or if she was trying not to hit Ahsoka.  “I don’t care,” she said again, and was surprised to find that it was the truth. She took a shuddering breath, because Kanan was here now and it really didn’t matter as long as Ahsoka didn’t try to remedy what she clearly thought of as a mistake.  Then her mind caught up with the rest of what Ahsoka had said and she snapped, “Do you know where Ezra is?”
“No,” Ahsoka said. She had sat up straight, but not risen. “This was before he went missing – from what Sabine’s told me, from when he went inside the Jedi Temple on Lothal.”
Less than a day after Kanan had died.
Hera stared at her, trying to think of something to say.  She only realized she had put her hand over her stomach when she felt the edge of her belt buckle pressing into the side of her hand.  She had been pregnant then and only just beginning to realize it; she wouldn’t be certain for another few weeks.
Hera still had nightmares about that day.
“I told Ezra I would find him,” Ahsoka said.
“Don’t bother,” Hera said. “We’ll do that.”
She turned and left.
She felt as if she was having an out of body experience, her hands still shaking, the ordinary ship sounds around her strangely muted, even the recycled air moving across her face every time she passed a vent seemingly alien.  Whatever expression was on her face seemed to warn anyone off; passing crew members or pilots veered around her.
Slowly – painfully slowly – reality reasserted itself, and by the time she had reached the hangar bay where the Ghost was docked she was breathing normally again, the sound of her footsteps on the durasteel floor familiar instead of muffled.  When she tapped her code into the Ghost’s locking mechanism and waited for the ramp to lower she almost didn’t feel like screaming anymore.
Once inside she raised the ramp again, then just stood with her forehead tipped against the ladder leading up to the cockpit, aware of the sound of voices from up above.  Kanan’s was one of them, though several layers of deck and closed doors made it impossible for her to make out the words. She let the cool metal of the ladder leech out her remaining anger until she finally felt calm enough to climb up and follow the voices into the common room.
She stopped in the doorway, fighting back her instinct to burst into immediate tears.  Kanan was sitting on the floor with Jacen, his expression somewhere between stunned and awed.  Jacen had brought out the box of toys Hera kept on the Ghost, as well as some that he must have brought with him from Ryloth, and was gravely showing them to Kanan.  He did this by putting each one into Kanan’s left hand, then guiding Kanan’s right hand over the toy – at the moment it was a large stuffed anooba plush that Numa had made him several years earlier.  Sabine and Zeb were sitting at the holotable, watching them and looking like they weren’t terribly far from tears either.  Chopper was watching too, and somehow managed to look as emotional as it was possible for an astromech droid to get, though at Hera’s approach he chortled a greeting.
“Mama!” Jacen said gleefully, abandoning the anooba in Kanan’s hands, and scrambled up to run to her.
Hera hugged him, kissing his hair. “Hi, baby.  Are you and your father and Auntie Sabine and Uncle Zeb having fun?”
Jacen nodded enthusiastically and tugged her towards Kanan and the pile of toys. “Look what Grandpapa gave me!”
Hera sat down next to Kanan and leaned over to kiss him, then turned her attention to the delicately carved nunas-and-gutkurrs set Jacen showed her.  After he was certain she had seen it, he took each small animal out of the case to hand to Kanan, who inspected it solemnly with his fingers before passing it back and accepting the next one.  Hera had had a similar set when she was a child, but had lost most of the pieces by the time she was ten.
“So are you heading back to Starfighter Command now?” Zeb said eventually, his voice elaborately casual. Chopper echoed the question, curious.
“No,” Hera said. “I’m transferring permanently to Intelligence, and there’s something I need to talk to all of you about.”
Sabine, who had been slouching and picking at some peeling paint on her knuckle plates, sat up straight. “We’re going after Ezra?”
Hera stared at her. “I didn’t even say anything!”
Sabine waved a hand. “It’s the only thing it could be, now that Kanan’s back.”  She grinned happily at him.  “Unless you wanted to stay and help Luke with his mission to restore the Jedi.”
Kanan grimaced. “He seems like a nice kid, but I just spent three hours in the middle of a doctrinal dispute and I didn’t even think I still had standards for heresy.”
They all stared at him.
“…what,” Zeb said eventually.
He winced. “Don’t ask. I was afraid to because I’m pretty sure I disagree with both of them, but pointing that out just now seemed like it was asking for trouble.”
“Amateurs,” Sabine sniffed. “No one’s dead yet.  By Mandalorian standards that’s barely even a spirited debate.”
“To be fair, two of us were dead,” Kanan pointed out dryly. “We just happened to get better.”
“Yeah, but you didn’t die from the doctrinal debate, so it doesn’t count.”
“That’s because every time the Jedi have a doctrinal debate that results in someone dying it also results in a galactic civil war that lasts for years and kills hundreds of thousands of other people,” Kanan said. “So we try to avoid getting to that point.”
Sabine shrugged. “Maybe if you had those more often you’d have smaller civil wars.”
Zeb frowned at her. “Isn’t that why all you Mandalorians hate each other in the first place?”
“Not as much as we hate anyone who tries to interfere in our civil wars.”
Zeb gave Hera a pained expression.
“Don’t look at me,” Hera said, gathering Jacen into her lap. “Ryloth was still having blood feuds between clans three generations ago, and even now you shouldn’t try to get a Fenn and a Kru in the same room together if you don’t want trouble.”
Sabine pointed at her. “See, someone who understands me.”
“I don’t think anyone understands you,” Zeb muttered. “Back on Lasan – and Lira San – we all just sued each other.”
“Well, that sounds boring.”
“And dueling, but that’s been illegal for a century – two on Lira San.  And that’s only for extreme cases anyway.”
“Now we’re talking,” Sabine said, sounding more satisfied as Chopper chuckled agreement. “I was starting to get worried for a moment there.”
“About what?” Kanan wondered out loud. “It’s not like there aren’t lawyers on Mandalore.”
“Well, not anymore,” Sabine said.
Kanan raised an eyebrow at her, then visibly decided not to pursue that line of questioning any further and went on, “And I’m pretty sure under the circumstances trying to kill either Luke or Ahsoka would have been a bad idea.”
Hera felt the muscle in her jaw twitch again. Jacen turned his face up to her, feeling her sudden tension, and Hera hugged him.  Kanan picked up one of Jacen’s discarded toys, a small stuffed Loth-wolf, and balanced it briefly on the palm of his hand.  Then he turned his hand sideways, the Loth-wolf remaining suspended in mid-air, and sent the Loth-wolf galloping towards Jacen.  He bounced with glee, making Hera let out a soft oof, and caught it.
“I can do that too!” He narrowed his eyes in concentration, then sent the Loth-wolf back to Kanan.  It wobbled a little in mid-air, but Kanan caught it easily, grinning.  He picked up the anooba Jacen had shown him earlier.
Jacen put his hands out gleefully, not waiting for Kanan to send it to him. It sailed through the air to him and he hugged it, then he caught the Loth-wolf that Kanan sent after it.
“Hold that for a few minutes, love, we need to talk,” Hera told him.  She settled him more comfortably in her lap �� he was heavier than she remembered him being, but then again she hadn’t seen him in person for several months – and looked at the rest of her crew.
Her crew.
She, Zeb, Sabine, and Chopper had only been in the same place a handful of times over the past six years, and Kanan hadn’t been there at all.  Hera had served with a number of people whom she had gotten along with, many of whom she had liked, but none of them were the three beings and one droid in the room with her now – in the Ghost with her now.  She had thought that she would go to her grave without ever having this again.
Hera swallowed past the lump in her throat.  “There have been rumors about Grand Admiral Thrawn and the Seventh Fleet for years,” she said.  Zeb knew some of this, but she didn’t think Sabine did and Kanan certainly didn’t. “Rebel Intelligence has never been able to confirm that they’re still out there or that Thrawn was in touch with the Emperor – or anyone from the Remnant, for that matter.  Because we’ve been busy dealing with the warlords since Endor, General Cracken – that’s the head of Intelligence,” she added for Kanan’s benefit, “– hasn’t been able to send anyone out into the Unknown Regions to investigate the rumors.”
“What happened to General Draven?” Kanan asked, startled; the previous head of Rebel Intelligence had been on Yavin while they had been there.
“He died,” Hera said. “Five years ago.”
Kanan winced.
“So since we’re going to be out there anyway, we might as well do it with Alliance – Republic – authority?” Sabine said.  She cocked an eyebrow at Hera. “That is what you said to Cracken?”
“More or less,” Hera said. “Doing it with Republic authority was his idea.  I was just going to resign.”  She hesitated, then added, “I can’t order you – any of you – to come. But I’ve let this go long enough and I won’t wait any longer.”  She couldn’t help but look at Kanan as she went on, “Ezra is family, and we’ve all lost enough family to the Empire.”
“I’m in,” Sabine said.
“Me too,” Zeb said. Chopper chortled agreement.
Kanan just leaned over and kissed her.
Hera let out her breath, relief making her shoulders slump. “All right,” she said. “Make your arrangements. We have to take Jacen back to Ryloth.” She smiled at Kanan. “And we’re getting married.”
That got them a round of back-slapping and congratulations and promising not to actually do it until both Sabine and Zeb could be there.  By the time they were all settled down again, Hera was flushed with happiness, leaning against Kanan’s shoulder with her other arm around her son.
We’re all right, she thought, looking around at her crew – at her family.  We’re all going to be all right.

i couldnt stop thinking about “the offspring” and also ive been thinking it could be kind of fun to write from deanna’s POV so here’s both of that
We’re all a little surprised to see him walk back into the game a month after the memorial. He’d been so quiet during it, and has been very withdrawn with most people for the past several weeks. Not so in our sessions; he veritably lets loose and says things I can sense he’s barely articulated to himself without a willing audience. But in public he’s been far more reserved, and only nods politely and changes the subject as soon as possible whenever she comes up.
“Surprised to see you,” says Worf, never one to avoid stating the obvious. “Sit.”
He does.
“You okay? You ready for this?” Will gives him one of those friendly brother-slaps on the shoulder. Data shrugs.
“I know,” I say, as a faint, jittery mote of - apprehension? - hits me. His sensations always come across more...mechanically, with a slight delay in my experiencing of them, and I’m wrong about what exactly they mean more often than I’d like to admit. It took me years of knowing him to even begin to find their fine tendrils in the psychical space, since my ability is mostly an act of biology and there’s nothing biological about him. Even now I’m not sure how much of my impressions, when it comes to Data, are actually telepathy or whether or not it’s all just basic cold reading. But they’re there, little sparks of this-unsettles-this-being and this-being-is-engagedinterestedfulfilled-by-the-task-at-hand and preoccupation-obscures-this-being’s-other-processes. Right now my strongest impression is this-being-is-suppressing-impatience, which I have to mentally sort through a filter of good old-fashioned psychology to fix to a source motivation. Given the circumstances, it’s a good bet that he doesn’t want anyone to make a big deal out of his finally being back to the poker table, but it’s too late for that and he wishes we’d just get on with the evening.
I lock eyes with him across the table, and he brings her up of his own volition, surprising me. “Thank you. I imagine that you would, Deanna, being the only other member of this party who has both had, and lost, a child.”
That he’s been thinking about me in this sense is touching. We don’t talk about me during session, of course, but it must come to mind for him whenever he enters my office. I am proud of his willingness to address the elephant in the room outside of counseling, though, so I take the conversational olive branch. “You had Lal for a good deal longer than I had Ian,” I admit. “This end of the grieving process is bound to be exponentially more painful.”
“Again, Counselor, I cannot grie-”
I hate cutting him off, but this is something he’s supposed to be working on. Supposed to being the operative phrase. He has such a knee-jerk reaction to it, and it’s been like pulling teeth to try and change that. I feel unpleasantly teacherish and scold-y, but I speak up as I told myself I would the next time he automatically shut down someone else’s emotional observation. “Data. Just because your mind and body do not interpret and process emotion in a human way does not mean the experiences you have do not affect you or the way you think and experience things afterwards. We talked about this.”
He’s contrite, clasps his hands in his lap and looks away from me, at the table. “Yes, we did.” Then he meets my eyes again. “But not here. This is not therapy, this is poker night.”
“Mmmm, same difference,” says Will, as he starts passing the drinks around.
I raise my gin to toast Data. “Damn right,” I say, “and tonight I’m going to crush you and your big brain.”
There’s a hint of ease in his shoulders. Powering down from work mode to casual mode, as I’ve come to think of it. “Highly improbable,” he says. “My brain is in here -” he taps his forehead - “surrounded by dense protective alloy.” Chuckles around the table, and you could almost miss it but I catch a tiny self-satisfied nod. He told me a couple weeks ago he was working on a ‘observational humor subroutine, which has a better chance of merging with my automatic reasoning processes.’ I have to say, it’s an improvement over all those men walking into bars.
“There he goes again, bragging about his thick skull,” says Geordi, as the door opens and he takes his seat. “Sorry I’m late, guys. You forgot this.” He hands Data his green sunshade, which I’d hardly realized he wasn’t wearing. I see their hands brush, the way Geordi leans closer. He’s positively radiating fondnesswarmthcomfortreliefwelcomereturntohabit and it brightens my mood just to be in the same room as it. “Good to have you back, by the way. I’m gonna squash you like a bug.”
“We will see,” Data says evenly, donning the green shade. He takes the offered cards, shuffles, offers them to Geordi to slap for luck, and deals. And the game begins again.

We’re The Bad Guys: Part 7
Tumblr media
We’re the Bad Guys: Masterlist
Poe Dameron x Reader (eventually), First Order!Reader
Summary: From the day you were born, you were taught the rebels and their New Republic were the bad guys. But, after you crash land on a remote moon with only the Resistance’s poster boy for company, things begin the change.
Based off of this drabble and headcanon
A/N: Look at me having another part up within the next week instead of the next three months. Sorry, no Poe in this chapter either, but he will be back in Part 8, pinkie promise.  And as usual COMMENT AND REBLOG IF YOU LIKE THIS! I NEED VALIDATION TO LIVE!!!
Word Count: 2.0K
          Getting to Takodana was easier than one might expect for a member of The First Order.
          For troopers or lower ranking officials, landing anywhere closer than the outermost rim of the galaxy was near impossible without clearance.  But for a Commander, slipping in and out of First Order space did not take much imagination.  A switched ship here, a bribe there and one could get as close as the inner rim if they put their mind to it.  Of course, most officers took it as a chance to visit a pleasure planet or two without word of a scandal getting sent up the ranks.  For your purposes, however, you risked a lot more than personal embarrassment. 
          You had started by taking leave on a small base not far from Rakata Prime.  It was a place common for officers in search of some relief from the stress and monotony of space travel.  It also was the perfect jumping off point to the outer rim.  The security was notoriously lax if not outright corrupt.  The right amount of credits in the right hand could get you just about anywhere.  
          It didn’t take long for you to track down a cadet willing to recommend a lovely little spaceport on some planet you never heard of. Apparently it had some of the best underground gambling one could find this side of Hutt Space, which meant pilots, but more importantly, pilots in need of fast, no questions asked, credits.  
          The cadet dropped you with the promise to pick you up in three days.  There was no need for him to follow. What you did while on planet was your business. The fact you had even left the base was blackmail enough. No doubt he was going to factor that into your service fee for the trip back. 
          After that, it was easy.  Within a few hours you were able to track down another ship heading in the direction of Takodana. Like any pilot bordering the Unknown Region, you couldn’t be sure where exactly the captain’s loyalty’s lay.  It meant a small risk every time money exchanged hands, but it also ensured anonymity.  
          You haggled a place in the cargo hold and by the next morning, you were walking down the ramp onto the forest planet. 
          It was beautiful.  Any word less would be a disservice.  The lush greens of the forest and clear shimmering lake water served as another stark reminder of where you came from.  
          No polished blacks.  No filtered air.  Just green and life. 
          You were so caught up in the moment, you almost forgot why you had come. A hard push from one of the crew members snapped you back to reality. Your eyes followed his path to the infamous castle just off in the distance. There was no going back now. 
          Securing the cloth placed over your nose and mouth, you kept your head low and followed. 
          The bar was just as crowded as you had expected with an assortment of humans and aliens from every point in the galaxy.  You would give this to Maz Kanata, despite her castle’s reputation for being a safe haven for pirates and explorers, the place was shockingly bright and clean. Cluttered and eclectic, but open and generally lacking the layer of grim that seemed to stain all spaceports along the mid and outer rim.  It left the impression that one could keep their blaster securely in their holster and actually enjoy a drink without fear of being taken off guard.  Still, you knew better.  This was a neutral space for Resistance and First Order alike.   Any one of the patrons could be a spy for either side.
          Making sure not to make eye contact with anyone, you made your way to the bar. 
          “I’m looking for Maz Kanata,” you said, in a low tone.  “I need to speak with her.”
          The bartender, an Artiodac, rumbled something in their native language you couldn’t understand. But, the dismissive laughter that followed was universal. 
          “It’s urgent,” you insisted.  “Commander Dameron sent me.” 
          “What trouble has that boy gotten into now?” a voice asked. 
          You turned around and immediately had to look down. 
          A small orange alien of a species you couldn’t name stood before you. Their head was huge compared to their small frame, wrinkles for days and eyes enlarged by giant magnifying goggles. 
          “Maz Kanata?” you asked. 
          “That’s my name, don’t wear it out,” she replied dryly. She then turned her attention to the Artiodac.  “Table five needs three more of the same.”
          The other alien nodded and quickly busied themselves with their task. 
          “Now,” Maz said.  “What trouble has Dameron brought to my door?”
          “No trouble,” you said. “I just need to get a message to him.”
          “Do you, now?” she asked, skeptically. 
          “Yes.”
          “And who are you, exactly?”
          “I’m a friend.” 
          “A friend who covers their face?” 
          Your hand went instinctively your mask.  Maybe it hadn’t been the best idea.  
          Maz gave a dry laugh. “Do you have a name at least?”
          You shifted uncomfortably. This was not going how you had pictured.  You had hoped to be half way off this planet by now. 
          “Not one he would know,” you admitted. 
          She raised an eyebrow. “Not much of a friend then.” 
          And with that she walked passed you out of the main room into the back. She must have assumed that meant an end to your conversation, but you hadn’t come all this way to be turned away now. She barely made it two paces before you followed after her. 
          “Fine, not much of a friend,” you said, “but certainly an ally.”
          “An ally?” she scoffed. “For what cause?”
          “To put an end to The First Order.”
          She paused. It wasn’t enough for her to turn to face you. She kept going about her task, moving a few crates, but you did get her attention. 
          “Bold words,” she said, “but why should I believe you?”
          “Because--”  You stopped.  
          Why should she believe you? Who were you, really?  A Commander for The First Order? A child solider? A pawn? Who were you to her? To The Resistance? To Dameron? 
          And that’s when you remembered. 
          “Because, I’m Pilot.”
          She turned to you, the surprise evident in her eyes. 
          “I’m Pilot,” you repeated, bolder this time. “The Pilot.”
          She stared more openly at you then, carefully examining your features.
          “Dameron’s Pilot?” she asked. 
          You shrugged, unsure how to feel about being called Poe Dameron’s anything. Still, it wasn’t entirely unpleasant. 
          Maz nodded in understanding.  Setting down the crate she was carrying, she silently indicated for you to kneel. 
          You felt a tug of uncertainty in your gut, but knew better than to question her orders.  You sunk down to your knees conveniently landing at the alien’s eye level. 
          She stepped closer to your, peering directly into your eyes. 
          You didn’t dare blink as she performed her examination, even adjusting her goggles to a higher intensity until the eyes reflected in them took over her entire face. 
          For a long moment neither of you spoke.
          “I see why he likes you,” Maz said, warmly as a wide smile spread across her face. “You have stars in your eyes.”
          You frowned, unsure of what to make of her comment.  Nobody had ever called your eyes anything before, let alone filled with stars. It made you think of naive thinking and childish dreams, neither of which you had associated with yourself at any time of your life.  But for some reason, you didn’t think that was what she meant. 
          Maz stepped back, her expression once again all business.
          “What’s the message?”
          You blinked, allowing yourself a moment to come back to reality.  Reaching down, you pulled the data card from your pocket.  
          “This is everything I had access to,” you said, handing the card to her. “Tie patrols, base coordinates, supply lines, everything. Make sure this gets to Resistance and...tell Commander Dameron that we’re even.” 
          She took the card, frowning slightly.  “Why don’t you tell him yourself?” 
          “I’m not joining The Resistance.”
          Her brows furrowed. “But you are leaving The First Order.” 
          “Yes.”
          “So what are you planning to do?”
          You shrugged, rising to your feet. “I’m a pilot.  I’m sure I can find something.” 
          Maz Kanata said nothing, but it was clear from her expression she wanted to say a lot of things.
          “You disapprove,” you stated rather than asked.  
          “Let’s just say, I don’t think the smuggler’s life is for you,” she said, dryly.
          Your lip pressed into a fine line. “And what do you propose? I’ve spent my whole life fighting a cause that wasn’t my own.  You would ask me to do the same thing, but for the other side?” 
          “It’s not the same thing if you choose to fight it.”
          “And what if I’m tired of fighting?”
          She shook her head, chuckling lightly.  “No. You were born to fight.”
          A sudden flash of anger fired in your heart.  It was a familiar feeling. The same one you felt towards Dameron when he had made certain presumptions about your family.  Of course, he had been right.
          “It wasn’t my choice,” you said, tightly.
          Maz shook her head again.  “No Pilot. Even if you were raised by peaceful monks, you would find a way to fight.  Maybe not by hopping in an X-Wing and blowing things up, but still fight.  You’re fighting The First Order right now.”
          “I’m settling a debt.”
          “By fighting,” she insisted. “You said it yourself; you are an ally to put an end to The First Order.” 
          She held up the card, waving it for emphasis. “With this alone you’ve just saved countless lives and struck a harder blow against The First Order than the entire Republic Senate has done in a year.” 
          “And now I’m done.”
          Maz let out a sigh, her bright expression fading to one of disappointment. 
          “Then you still fight for The First Order.” 
          “I’m fighting for myself,” you snapped.  
          “If one knows there is evil in the world and does not oppose it, that does not make them neutral,” Maz said, calmly. “There is no neutral stance.  Indifference, selfishness, this is what allows The First Order and all others like them to prosper.”      
          “So is every person going about their lives as bad as The First Order.” you said, sardonically. 
          “No. Most don’t have the power, or the means to fight.  But you do.”
          You scoffed. “So, I still don’t have a choice.”
          “Of course you do.  Everybody had a choice. But, it’s important to keep in mind that no choice is still a choice, just not an obvious one.” 
          You let out a sigh. This was what it was about, wasn’t it? Having a choice? It was proving to be a lot more trouble than people let on. 
          “Why are you so insistent I join The Resistance?” you asked. “You don’t know me.”
          She smiled then.  It was a knowing smile, like she was in on a secret; not one she was trying to keep, but one she was dying to tell. 
          “Like I said, you have stars in your eyes. Clouded over, faded, but still there; begging to shine.” 
          For the second time that day, you didn’t know what to make of it. You knew better than to ask.  Maz Kanata seemed exactly the type of person to answer anything as cryptically as possible. 
          “Seems to me Pilot, you have three options,” she continued. “Number one, you go back out there and ask if anyone needs a co-pilot.  You go off into the Outer Rim and nobody hears from you again.  Number two, you take this back and deliver it to Commander Dameron yourself.”
          You fought the urge to roll your eyes. “And number three?” 
          “You choose to fight in your own way.” 
          “By what? Freelancing as a fighter pilot?” 
          She shrugged. “As I said, there are more ways of fighting than hopping in an X-Wing and blowing things up.” She held up the data card with that same knowing smile.  “More effective ways.”
          You half expected her to hand the card back to you, but instead she tucked it into her vest and picked up the crate she had been carrying earlier.  
            “It’s your choice Pilot,” she said.  “It always has been.”
          And with that she left, leaving you alone with your thoughts and your choices.

6 reasons why Digital Marketers should NOT ignore Gamification
For the uninitiated, gamification is most commonly defined as “…an informal umbrella term for the use of video game elements in non-gaming systems to improve user experience (UX) and user engagement…”. (1)
Brian Burke, Research Vice President at Gartner, in a podcast defines gamification further as “The use of game mechanics and experience design to digitally engage and motivate people to achieve their goals…it’s the use of game mechanics… and uses things like points and badges and leader boards… It is used in a digital engagement model” (2)
Let’s take a look at the 6 reasons why marketers must consider gamification in their digital strategy. (It's a long read but I promise it will be fun!)
Reason 1: Let’s accept it – gamification is not ‘just a fad’
Tumblr media
The last decade has seen interest in gamification rise substantially. Growth in digital technologies has further propelled this interest across sectors like Healthcare, Real-estate, Education, and other sectors. Today, mobile technology is using game mechanics combined with UX design to enhance user engagement, aid employee learning, help students with problem-solving, and even help sales personnel reach their targets.
Reason 2: Gamification is everywhere, literally!
The earliest, less refined, version of gamification in marketing was recorded in 1896 (3) when retailers rewarded loyal customers with stamps received from marketers. By 2020, one can comfortably say that gamification in marketing has come a long way.
“It (Gamification) can be applied on many products, services, or any stage of the customer journey and it’s easily adjusted to any budget” (4)
Today, Gamification is seamlessly incorporated in our favorite digital platforms like Google Pay, Fitbit, and even Linkedin. It is common to see a mobile app use badges, points, or virtual currency to drive user engagement. While there are popular applications that have gamification at their core like Duolingo and Nike Run Club, there are apps like Zomato which have incorporated gamification into their product to keep app users coming back for more.
Tumblr media
In 2019, Zomato launched Zomato Premier League during the IPL season. Users could predict a winner of the IPL cricket match of the day and gain 30% cashback if they predicted the winner correctly. Zomato released a scorecard of the activity that showed 224 cities and 14 Million predictions achieved during the IPL season. (5)
(On a separate note, Google decided to ruin the game and sent a notice to Zomato citing Play store policy violation – Zomato had to take off this feature in September 2020) (6)
Reason 3: Your digital audience wants to have fun
“Many brands don’t need brand awareness anymore, they already have it. So they’re looking at what’s next, they want to engage the audience, the influencers.” (7)
Digital marketers need not limit themselves to using gamification only in an app – digital engagement can be successfully created wherever the audience is including social media! Micro-gamification moments have been popular on social media platforms for some time now. One example of the micro-gamification moment is Stories Ordering by Burger King.
Tumblr media
Burger King Spain used Instagram stories and had some fun with gamification. With “Stories Ordering” followers could pick ingredients and customize their Whoppers by simply clicking on the Instagram Poll Feature. This generated a unique coupon that participants could use to redeem their Whopper for free. A simple creative idea with zero media investment led to 270000 brand interactions.
Similarly, Star Movies launched Play @ 7 (8) to gamify the TV watching experience. Viewers were required to watch the movies played on the channel daily and play 7 games by tweeting the correct answers to the games. Star Movies created a leader-board on Twitter in real-time where participants could track their progress daily and weekly.
Reason 4: Personalise to Gamify and Gamify to personalize
“While the job of gamification is easing the daily tasks in different fields, the users’ interests and likes must be considered to create intrinsic incentives and a moral environment for them.” (9)
Tumblr media
For a truly effective retention strategy, a brand must enhance the product experience for the user. For this ethically collecting relevant data along the user journey to personalize content and keep users engaged becomes important. Duolingo emails a weekly report to its users reminding them of their progress in comparison to the previous week. Similarly, Starbucks sends rewards points as a birthday treat to its users.
As the collected data gets richer in quality, marketers can then create loyalty programs, feedback mechanisms, gamified content, and much more, to personalize the user’s experience further.
Reason 5: Gamified marketing survived COVID-19
Locked up at home due to COVID-19, people were increasingly active online, consuming a variety of content, and playing games when not working. Between March 2020 and April 2020, comScore noted a 62% increase in the time spent on playing games online in India. Another report states that the US and UK saw a ‘40% surge in the time spent on online games’.
During this time, Burberry launched its summer collection through a gamified campaign. The luxury brand created a multiplayer game “that lets players dress up their characters in the brand's outfits before grabbing a surfboard and challenging friends to a race around a track”. The game rewards participants with daily prizes and AR-based digital rewards. (10)
Tumblr media
ABC Entertainment decided to have fun promoting its classic TV game show “Supermarket Sweep”. To announce the return of the show, the broadcaster launched a Twitter game “Supermoji Sweep”. The audience on Twitter was required to “reply to its @SuperSweepABC account with combinations of nine emoji for grocery items including cheese, bread, steak, turkey and cherries”. Every emoji had a secret dollar value attached to it and the audience was required to guess the combination of items that would cost exactly $20. And the reward for the correct guess? A Special video message from comedian Leslie Jones, who is also the host of the show.
Reason 6: Gamification is about to get better
The overall Gamification market globally is expected to be worth $76298.9 Mn by 2030 (11) and for marketers, the opportunities are endless. Game mechanics are combined with AR/VR in education, tourism, healthcare, and entertainment industries.
Tumblr media
In 2019, Ally Bank used AR and Gamification to create an online learning experience for consumers. “The augmented reality game brings Monopoly to life in six USA cities… Ally aims to improve consumers’ financial literacy through gamification while giving them the chance to increase their savings and win prizes."
Tumblr media
PetSmart used Snapchat’s AR feature to create a “gamified quiz based around educational reptile facts”. Using this feature users could use the filter to turn themselves into a reptile, answer questions related to reptiles, and win a 40% discount coupon that can be redeemed at a PetSmart store. As a result, PetSmart “has seen a 50% increase in reptile sales, as well as a boost in general pet sales as owners stocked up on food and supplies in preparation for lockdown..”
Digital marketers can leverage these technologies to present immersive and gamified experiences to consumers and expand the scope of digital marketing. Similarly, brands can work towards gathering relevant user data and utilize it to create a better user experience and consumer engagement through personalized in-app gamified experiences.
Parting Thoughts
From engagement to retention, gamification can support most of the marketing objectives. This is a great approach ONLY if the marketer is clear about what objective the brand is trying to achieve when adopting the approach. To elevate a user’s experience through gamification, marketers must weave storytelling or personalization.
But remember, creating a gamified experience is not easy. Experts have researched why gamification fails and these reasons range from lack of understanding of the target audience to not being able to create a compelling story. Brian Burke mentions that gamification fails when it is used to manipulate the user’s experience to meet the organization’s goal, instead of the goal of the customer (2). As a result, marketers must create an experience that helps the consumer achieve their objectives. And this means going beyond mere reward points.
I will leave you with two popular frameworks Elemental Game Tetrad Model by Schell and Octalysis Framework by Yu-kai Chou. Both these should help you start off with planning and designing an outstanding gamification experience for your audiences/customers/users!
