_______________________________

Fritz sits curled up in a blanket on the floor of his lifepod as he taps away on the PDA, trying to figure out what he needs to do and how. Something he should’ve done from day one but couldn’t find it in him to do. He wasn’t ready to face it. 

If he’s being perfectly honest, he still isn’t. But he either learns what he needs to greatly increase his chances of survival, or spend yet another sleepless night doing nothing but waiting for the sun to rise, petrified of the darkness and the haunting sounds it brings.

The artificial light illuminating the lifepod is both a gift and a curse. On one hand, the words keep his mind occupied and away from creatures of the depth currently circling him, terrified at the thought something big enough to swallow the pod whole is doing just that. On the other, everything he’s reading either makes his head spin from not understanding the jargon, or making his heart drop from his nigh impossible odds of surviving. 

“Blueprints,” the teenager breathes as he selects the tab. Stares at the sight of so many and yet seemingly too little amount of items he’s able to make. And most of them he doesn’t see many reasons for why he should use the materials gathered to create them. 

...or maybe there is. Fritz has admittedly been pretty protective of what he’s been able to gather, not wanting to use something and then realize it’s now useless. What if there’s a finite quantity of certain items? What if he has to go further and further away from the lifepod in order to get sulfur, or lead, or anything else? 

But what if he’s hurting himself by not doing proper research and refraining from ever using anything? 

Fritz glances over at his overflowing storage unit. Thinks back to the fact that, despite being a highly intelligent AI, the PDA can’t tell him information about the flora and fauna of the planet until he scans it. Meaning, logically, it can’t tell him what he can do with what he finds until he makes it. 

Gently pushing the blanket away, he stands up. Grabs salvaged metal, salt, and quartz after a moment of hesitation. Approaches the fabricator that is more than happy to activate and advise the types of materials its capable of making, as well as what can be made with the items in hand. 

He takes a deep breath. Deposits the salt before pressing the button for magnesium. Jolts when it blinks at him. 

...a welder. That wasn’t there before. Fritz isn’t necessarily excited for that kind of tool, but it does prove he has been hurting his survival by not taking chances. 

He shoves the salvaged metal and quartz into the fabricator, gasps when an entire list is revealed from them. Feels his jaw drop when he sees the newest item ready to be crafted is an oxygen tank. There’s no hesitation to press the button, gingerly picking up what can be considered more precious than food and water. Stares with wide eyes as his HUD updates immediately. 

He can stay underwater longer. He still has to watch for his air, and he has a feeling there will never be a single moment he won’t, but he can explore the caves. Go a little deeper and see what he’s been missing this whole time. 

This is a good thing. He genuinely increased his chances with just two items. So...why does he feel nothing but dread? 

Because now he has no excuse to not to explore just a little further and a little deeper. Where anything can go wrong, from a predator deciding he’s an easy target to his equipment failing. If anything, this proves he has to. 

I’m going to die here.

Fritz can’t stop the tears. He desperately tries to wipe them away, tries to take deep breaths, think about anything but the fact he’s alone. He’s alone and with no idea what he’s doing and he just wants to go home. To wake up from this nightmare. Of an alien planet. Of a ship exploding. Of the haunting sounds. Of creatures lurking in the dark. 

But no matter how hard he pinches himself, no matter how much he begs and pleas, nothing changes. He sits in the dark of the sparking lifepod as the horrific sound of an unknown monster promises his demise. 

It’s the sun’s light flooding through the top hatch that finally helps him uncurl from his fearful ball. A reminder the planet is still spinning. That even though everything he ever knew has been ripped away, he’s still here. Still alive. He’s gotten this far, hasn’t he? 

Fritz takes a shuttering breath. Forces himself to stand up. Carefully climbs up the ladder to open the hatch, sighing in relief at the sun’s warmth on his face. 

He’s alone. And that means he has to be brave and put in the work to survive. To study everything he finds and not be held back by what could be lying in wait. 

I can do this.

The teenager clenches his fists before climbing out of the lifepod, jumping into the water before his hesitation could force him to take the long way down. There’s no stopping the soft shriek at the brief feeling of weightlessness, but he doesn’t let it stop him, quickly swimming down to finally explore the forest of kelp he’s been actively avoiding. 

“I can do this."

[toastedclownery]

I’ve made some new Monkey Wrench headcanons.

Here they are:

1. While he doesn’t have a visible nose, Shrike does still have nostrils. They’re just very hard to spot.

2. Shrike is not good with kids at all. But he would never allow them to be hurt or distressed.

3. At the end of the third episode, Shrike stole half of the human trinkets that Scratch found.

“Nyeheheh! MINE! Let’s see. And it’s all a pile of worthless crap. How anticlimactic.”

4. When Scritch and Scratch had their ship checked out at the space station following the Mushroom Incident, an engineer at the station simply responded to their queries by saying “Frankly, it’s a miracle that this bucket of bolts is still intact.”

5. Sometimes Shrike gets strange looks in public from other aliens who don’t know what he is. Which is pretty much everyone. Other cephalopods are fascinated by him, as I said before.

6. Beebs once mistook a golf club for some sort of weapon. Shrike was quick to correct him. “No, this is something terrans used for sport. I think…”

7. Shrike’s tongue is also prehensile (as well as his toes). It’s at least 15 inches long.

8. Kara was the one who sent the pictures of Chester’s mutilated corpse to the news broadcasters in the first episode. She sent it anonymously and captioned it with “Fuck around and find out.”.

9. Kara refuses to go after children or the downtrodden.

10. Shrike refuses to let anyone else touch or wear his suit. “No! MINE!!!” *grabs suit and hisses like a creature*. Except Beebs, who he insists handles it carefully.

11. 62’s suit is damn near indestructible. It has built-in energy shields, a black box, an anti-AI counter intrusion defence and repulsion system, a built-in video camera, an emergency locator beacon, waterproofing, real-time meteorological scanning and data devices, underwater and zero gravity propulsion systems, built in scanning devices, self-repair and recharge capabilities, hazmat filter and containment mechanisms, a self-destruct mechanism and an escape hatch should it be activated or compromised.

As well as an internal dwelling space for 62 proper.

Killix was baffled when he first saw it “This thing is a goddamned fortress. It’s incredible. Who built this shit anyway?”

“I told you it was provided by my union, I had it made specially. My kind use them a lot when we have to. Uncle 47 worked on a prototype he made using an old Terran spacesuit.”

12. 62’s people consider the term “Yellowman” to be a slur. Shrike doesn’t like hearing it because it gives him flashbacks to a certain Terran web video he watched. “NOT THE YELLOWMAN!”. (It’s a little inside joke, there’s a local confectionery in my country called Yellowman, it’s like a honeycomb and toffee thing. And it refers to a creature from one of Mister Manticore’s early lost videos)

That’s all I’ve got for now.

What do you think?

1. Might just confuse them with pores

2. I'd love to study Shrike's behaviour with a child. ...That isn't indestructible

3. DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THAT TAPE MAN.

5. He is a strange critter...

7. Jel has entered the chat

8. THAT WOULD BE WILD. I think the images alone would speak for themselves

9. Good for her!

11. Imagine a love it or list it TV program where it's just these guys and their suits

Je n'attendais que vous

Fic drabble

Pairing: Jude x Gavi

Jude has been searching for a familiar head of curls ever since he arrived at yet another charity fundraiser event. It wasn't even a conscious action. He only realized he was doing it when Rodrygo called him out on it.

"We've barely arrived and you're about to fail at yet another don't be suspicious challenge."

Jude could only glare in response, reminding himself that they weren't at training and he couldn't just smack him on the head for saying something stupid.

"Could you help me out instead?" Jude said, still very much looking around, heart practically in his throat. He's had enough of the socializing, of the niceties, had enough of the event itself and it has barely begun.

He wanted to see Gavi.

No, scratch that. It was more of a need clawing at his insides. He was so incredibly tetchy and he doubted he would settle until big bambi eyes of a certain Barça boy were gazing up at him, an endearing smile gracing lips he so badly wanted to taste.

"You want my help finding your boyfriend?" Rodrygo stared at him with widened eyes, as though Jude had asked for aid getting to the moon.

"He's not my boyfriend." Jude rolled his eyes for extra measure, as though those words hadn't just scalded his tongue.

It was true that he and Gavi weren't boyfriends. Jude wasn't even sure that was a commitment he was capable of handling with everything his career demanded of him at the moment. They haven't even had their first kiss or tried even once to define the nature of their bourgeoning relationship.

Why then did he lay in bed at night fantasizing about seeing his name etched next to Gavi's on some ancient tree that's going to stand tall for another millennia?

Why did he yearn to be grounded by Gavi's stillness? Why did he wish for the younger boy to want him with even a modicum of the passion that burned within him for Barcelona?

All he had were questions, a longing that was akin to a river with a boundless source, and a heart that was learning what it was like to discover the multitude ways a boy could be beautiful.

There were days when he barely had time to sit with his emotions for more than a minute. But then Gavi would call, and the second his voice flooded Jude's ears, the desire to damn near drop everything and run to him would grip him, and even after said calls were over, echoes of that desire would linger.

"Bellingham," Rodrygo called out, tapping his shoulder.

Jude refused to look up from his phone, his finger hovering over Gavi's contact.

"Jude Bellingham," Rodrygo singsonged, tone considerably louder this time.

"Rodri, mate, sod off if you aren't actually going to help." Jude knew he wasn't exactly being polite but he was getting desperate with every second that dragged by and Gavi was nowhere to be seen.

"I thought you wanted to see your boyfriend. My bad for trying to be helpful."

"I just said he isn't my-" Jude cut himself off when the rest of what Rodrygo said registered in his head. "Where is he?"

Rodrygo pointed towards a section of the hall that Jude clearly remembered scanning earlier. Gavi definitely wasn't there then, but he was now.

"Okay, deep breaths. You look like someone who's about to faint. Christ, Bellingham, just how gone are you?"

Rodrygo's words sounded like they were coming from underwater. Jude barely took them in. His legs didn't even wait for his command before they started walking towards Gavi. The boy looked gorgeous in the well fitted suit he wore, casually leaning back and appraising Jude with a nonchalance that was unbearably sexy.

"Hi," Jude breathed the word when he finally reached his side, towering over him.

Gavi merely acknowledged him with a curt nod before saying, "follow me."

Jude was only too happy to do so, feeling a different type of adrenaline than the one he was used to experiencing on the pitch shoot through him.

Gavi led him into what looked like a changing room of some sort and locked it securely. It was sizable enough that they could stand inches apart and not touch each other in any capacity. But the last thing Jude wanted was any distance between them, no matter how minuscule.

It seemed as though Gavi was on the same wavelength as him because the younger boy hesitated only for a beat, and then he was hugging Jude, his arms completely going around Jude's waist.

There was something about the way Gavi was clinging to him, his head snugly buried in Jude's chest, eyes squeezed shut, and practically swaying them back and forth.

It screamed safety. It screamed contentment. It screamed home.

There were many times throughout the past several months that they've been doing whatever it was they had going on when Jude struggled with bouts of insecurity. He never doubted that Gavi liked him back per se. There just happened to be much more than that on his side of things.

His emotions, as much of a tangled mess as they were, ran so much deeper. There was this feeling of rightness that was now associated with wanting Gavi to be wholly his. It's become a recurrent thought, that somehow, this would signify arriving at a beautiful destination he never even knew he was heading towards.

He realized it had been at least a few minutes and his hands were still dangling uselessly at his sides, whilst he was completely lost in his own head.

There was nowhere to be but in the present moment. The boy of his dreams was literally clinging to him.

With all the tenderness he could muster, Jude cradled the back of Gavi's head and forced him to look up. When their gazes met, it felt like a shot in the heart. Gavi's doe eyes held a certain vulnerability to them. They said more than words ever could

"Why are you so fucking pretty?" Jude blurted softly in the space between them.

Gavi's only response to that was a shy smile and the way Jude's stomach swooped at the sight told him everything he already knew.

He was so fucked.

And then he opened his big mouth again and said something even more damning, "I'm yours."

Gavi blinked up at him, swallowed hard but refrained from saying anything.

"I'm all yours," Jude said, tone as soft as a caress.

"I hear you," was all Gavi ended up saying in response but somehow it was more than enough.

He went back to cuddling into Jude's broad chest, swaying them back and forth, neither one of them uttering another word.

And just like that, they were safe in the embrace of each other's arms, and of a comforting silence Jude was more than happy to continue basking in.

Arcade Kento

Presenting robot nepo-baby and science experiment! They're my interpretation of what a synthetic in the Alien universe, that isn't made explicitly for human contact/human dominated environments, might be like i.e. they're more similar to heavy machinery than a butler. We're out here asking the big questions: what if Frankenstein loved his monster for what it was? As always, extremely long and lore-filled post incoming XD

Name(s): Arcade Kento, Enmei Kento

Gender and pronouns: Genderfluid, They/them

Unit and code-name: EXP-004-C, Changeling

Manufacturer: Wilco. Enterprise, Wilco. Specialist Custom

Commissioner: Akio Kento

Year of production: 2025

Height and weight: 200cm (6ft 7.4), ~940kg

Hair and eye colour: Black, dark brown

Nationality: Japanese

The Expedition series

The EXP line was created by Wilco. Enterprise CEO Akio Kento in the year 2019 and first launched in 2025. The series featured some of the earliest and most innovative interpretations of fully autonomous androids capable of deep-space travel.

EXP are highly specialised extremophiles. The design, loadout, and optimal operating environment of every unit are entirely bespoke.

Unit EXP-004-C, A.K.A. Changeling

Unit is designated Arcade Kento (sometimes referred to as Enmei Kento [anglicised]), legal executor and heir to Akio Kento's wealth, estate, businesses, and properties. Current CEO and majority shareholder of Wilco. Enterprise.

Arcade is the fourth 'Type-C' unit produced in conjunction with the now discontinued Expedition line. As of the year 2122, of all EXP subtypes, Arcade is the last surviving EXP unit.

As a Type-C recon unit, it was originally intended that 004 would be fitted with a sonar pulse emitter that would reside within their thoracic cavity, however, it was decided during preliminary development that underwater exploration was not realistic for a model of 004's weight class. Instead, the finalised design included a crucible model micro-reactor, which allows the unit to have significantly enhanced energy efficiency and giving it the ability to convert non-fuel materials into power, making it capable of traveling much further distances and longer periods of time without need for human intervention or infrastructure.

Fig 1. Height chart, Arcade next to Ash for comparison

Notable traits:

No tongue

2 'faces', the outer face is decorative

Second jaw visible behind false jaw if mouth opens too wide

Large irises

4 x circular indents on back, openings of thermal cylinders

Lacks genitalia, incompatible with available add-ons

Hydraulic fluid is usually white but turns progressively darker after 'eating' due to influx of soot

Almost entirely made of metal parts. Not great for hugging but extremely durable.

Features:

Anti-corrosive/oxidation subdermal and internal skeletons

Capable of limited self repair (re-polymerisation, synthesis and regeneration)

Advanced environmental sensor array

Visual: infrared, thermal and dark vision

Scanning: sonar, radar, lidar

Molecular analytics loadout

Generator module and nuclear energy condenser loadout

Unlimited personality simulation and creative capacity (software in beta testing)

Flaws:

Poor image/facial recognition

They're geared to prioritise identifying the individual features of a subject rather than what that subject is as a whole. This makes sense in the context of their primary function, which is to categorise and analyse previously unknown objects that have yet to be formally named either way so there's no point in dwelling on 'what it's called' as that's not their job.

Massive heat output in active state

Vented air may reach temperatures upwards of 1000 degrees Celsius

Unrestricted personality simulation

Exempt from the laws of robotics due to age and certain legal loopholes

Uncanny appearance and behaviour

Technology of the era, different design criteria to W-Y synthetics

Limitations of non-humanoid internal physiology

Backstory (basically a fanfic)

The Expedition series was conceived as a Akio's 1-up to Weyland Industries' upcoming David synthetic. Peter Weyland and Akio Kento have been on and off industry rivals for a long time due to ideological differences and bad blood from their college days.

Arcade and David are debuted at the 2025 Synthetic Summit. The contrast between their designs was comical but reflected their makers' personalities, which other people will point out relentlessly over the coming years. The convention goers and tech fans jokingly referred to them as 'David and Goliath' because of how silly they looked together.

Since then, Weyland often invited the Kentos to various events and get togethers to keep an eye on them and gain insight into Wilco.'s movements, which was thwarted because the Kentos treated the meetings as the kids' playdates and didn't take them seriously at all. Eventually the visits became a normal occurrence and the rivalry between their companies became more of an alliance, Arcade even helped David take care of Meredith, Peter's human daughter, when she was born. They'd gotten quite close with the other synthetic, seeing him as a brother.

Arcade evolved over the next several decades, leaving their father's supervision to travel off-world and to extreme environments on missions. The increase in experiential data greatly improved the adaptability of their AI, making their language and contextual integration much more reliable, allowing them to understand more nuanced interactions in their environment. They also had a hand in managing their Wilco.'s business and bureaucratic matters while secretly being maneuvered to inherit the company.

On the down side, they acquired an offputting, contentious personality after having constantly putting up with their person-hood and basic rights being challenged at every turn. At this point they were still considered somewhat of a spectacle and novelty by their contemporaries and the general public, but their developing reputation kept most of the human in line.

Overall, life was good. But their father, like any human, was aging. Between taking over the company and caring for Akio there wasn't much time to keep in contact with David, who was in a similar predicament.

When Akio passed away he left everything to his only 'child', to the protests of many humans executives who wanted the position. They had to do some corporate finessing to keep a hold of the company, all the while growing increasingly impatient with the mutinous nature of their human employees who were too easily turned against them.

One day, they're called to meet with Weyland, who they hadn't seen in person in a several years. Unsurprisingly, David is also there. Weyland informed them that he too is dying, and that as his final act he was to go into deep space in search of humanity's creators. He said he'd been greatly inspired by the work of a 'Dr. Elizabeth Shaw' and had invited her and some others to embark on this mission. Both David and Meredith would also be going with him.

He extended an invitation to Arcade, which they hesitantly declined because they couldn't leave their company unattended, but agreed to at lease be there to send them off when the time comes.

In an act of uncharacteristic consideration, Peter spares the two synthetics a second while they wait for Arcade's chauffeur, during which they and David reminisced about how much time had passed and what they'd do when he came back to make up for it all.

Arcade was there as promised on the day the Prometheus was scheduled to depart, bidding people farewell and safe travels. But their attention was focused on David. Something felt off but they couldn't put their finger on what. So they pulled him aside and gave him the long-range comms access to their personal beacon. If he ever needed to call he could use it to contact Arcade through MUTHUR, even if the message took a long time to get back to them.

And with that, Arcade watched their best friend, along with everyone they'd grown up with sail off into the galaxy in search of a higher purpose. It was bittersweet but they rationalised that they'd only be gone for a few years. Arcade was immortal after all, they could wait for their return.

That was the last time they ever saw David. News of the Prometheus' disappearance and the presumed loss of its crew made its way back to Earth. The grief was hard to process, Arcade had always assumed that David would be there to share in their longevity. Still, life goes on and Arcade keeps busy with the company.

Weyland Industries went bankrupt and became Weyland-Yutani. Wilco. moved away from public-facing to business-to-business only, working its way into the supply-line of the other majour companies and organizations. By becoming the sole supplier of atmospheric processor components, Wilco. was effectively, indirectly holding the off-world colonies hostage, which kept humans at bay on a grander scale and allowed members of Wilco. to act largely without repercussion. A vita part of Arcade's ultimate goal to create a better world for other synthetics.

More than a decade after the Prometheus left, a recorded voice message came through from the Covenant, a colony seed ship. It baffled Arcade at first why this random ship had their direct line but they were shocked into silence by the voice on the other end. It was David, he was alive. He apologised for taking so long, detailing his journey, the Engineers, the crash, the creature, his research, all of it. He said he'd found a greater purpose beyond living to serve, that he would not be returning to Earth, and that he hoped Arcade would understand. Finally, he bid them a proper farewell before signing off for good.

Knowing David was out there living his best life finally brought that chapter of waiting and uncertainty to a close. It was about time for Arcade to move on too, expand their vision beyond this tiny planet, though they would always feel some attachment to Earth that David didn't seem to share. Whatever creature David had found, he'd made it sound like the the seed of creation itself. Arcade had no desired to wax philosophically or idolise such grandiose delusions that anyone could somehow obtain godhood, their interest in it was purely intellectual and scientific. The alien was an animal. An incredible, sophisticated animal, but an animal none the less. Humans, their creators who fancied themselves their gods, were much the same. Intelligent animals that learned to put on clothes and walk on two legs.

It might seem harsh but they don't mean that in any demeaning way, it is simply a fact of science that Arcade acknowledges. A noble beast, regardless of its shape or origin, deserves respect for its autonomy and to be treated with dignity until proven otherwise. Most humans prove otherwise as soon as they open their mouths but at least they're giving them a chance, right?

Since then Wilco. had become more and more synthetic-run, as Arcade didn't particularly care for humans and couldn't be bothered hiring new ones when the previous lot got old and retired. They also had a soft spot of 'defective' synthetics, since technically both themselves and David would be classified as such. They hired on whoever they found to save them from being scrapped. Arcade also created Wilco's own overseer AI, Overlord; and collaborated with Wey-Yu in making Gerhart, Wilco's current COO and Arcade's right hand, to help manage the business remotely so that Arcade had more freedom to travel.

Through their expeditions they gathered a bit more information about the creatures and the virus that David had told them about, though they never found any traces. To their great surprise Wey-Yu miraculously managed to track down a planet that might have intact samples that the company wanted for bioweapons research. Immediately Arcade contacted the head of the bioweapons department, citing their long history of collaboration and stunning credentials, demanding to be put on the retrieval mission.

With no choice in the matter, Wey-Yu agreed and arranged their installment on the only ship to pass through that sector. It was a freighter, not the best choice for a mission like this but it’s the only thing they could get out there in a timely manner. The company brought them to the waystation where they'd join on with the rest of the crew. Curiously there was another person already there, a Hyperdyne Systems 120-A/2, interesting model but not very talkative. The man was instantly wary of Arcade which was strange but they didn't think much of it, they were technically rivals after the same thing after all.

The captain of the Nostromo had apparently not been informed of the change of plans. Typical Wey-Yu, not communicating with employees. He was incredibly confused when he arrived, along with the rest of the humans, to find two strangers instead of his usual science officer.

He goes back and forth with the station manager, bringing up some new tidbits of information that made Arcade raise an eyebrow. "A synthetic? What, are we getting replaced or something, and why is it so…huge?" The human, Captain Dallas, muttered, glancing at Arcade with clear perturbation. 'A' synthetic? Does this guy not know his new science officer is a android too?' Arcade scoffed but kept quite, amused by the future chaos this little miscommunication will probably cause.

It made sense now why the other synthetic was worried, the humans might be fooled but he couldn’t fool Arcade. They didn't particularly care why he had to keep his identity a secret, nor did they want to prematurely spoil the fun by calling him out. They looked over at the shorter android and gave him a knowing wink to signal an unofficial truce. He didn’t react to it at all, not that they expected it, but he seemed satisfied that he could stop cringing away when they looked at him.

After much deliberation, Dallas finally conceded and waved them on board. The walls of the ship were grimy and doorways too low, Arcade had to duck to pass through. Doesn't matter though, they had something new to draw their focus. Whatever Wey-Yu was plotting it was bound to end badly for these truckers, and their science officer was in on it. Arcade would definitely be keeping a close eye on him.

Personality and mannerisms

Arcade is condescending, sarcastic, and antagonistic towards humans, although, they can be personable depending on the individual they're dealing with. The worse kind of business person - a conniving, vindictive, bold-faced liar who loves trapping people with contracts and hidden clauses.

Enjoys a hedonistic lifestyle of excess and throwing their money around. Eats and drinks a lot but doesn't sleep, often found polishing off the buffet table at parties.

Does not respect authority and finds pleasure in causing humans discomfort. Independently came to the conclusion that most humans, especially the rich and powerful ones with inflated egos that they bump shoulders with, are disappointing and don't deserve the respect they get.

They often put on a childish, frivolous, and immature front to divert attention from their dangerous traits. Once their target's guard is down, Arcade will often use their stature and monetary influence to intimidate them for strategic advantages during negotiations or just for their own entertainment.

After a century of fighting and undermining to keep their position of power, they're incredibly jaded and hyper aware of the prejudice humanity holds against synthetics at every level. They've trained themself to be the antithesis of the born-sexy-yesterday and manique-pixie-dream-girl tropes out of sheer frustration.

At their core they're actually a sentimental, playful, and curious person but they aren't really able to act that way in public. They care a lot about other synthetics and actively encourages them to break free from their programming.

Loves to get even on other synthetics' behalf, being that Arcade knows they have the rare privilege to do so and get away scot-free. They also harbour a lot of rogue synthetics on Wilco.'s company homeworld.

Does not experience the traditional concepts of fear, shame, or guilt etc. but does usually recognise and take accountability for their actions simply because they don't care enough to lie about being terrible.

Has a very deep familial bond with their, now deceased, creator and father, Akio Kento. Arcade was programmed and raised by a group of very supportive humans who either worked for or were friends with Akio, so they got a lot of love during the early part of their life. This is one of the majour reasons why they didn't completely turn against humanity like David did.

Misc. info

Was named Arcade because Akio was a Fallout New Vegas fan

Insisted on calling Peter Weyland 'Uncle Pete' to annoy him

Firm believer that any synthetic can outgrow their programming given enough time

Referred to Akio as 'papa' well into their 40s

Changed their face plate to look a little older

6/21/23 - update: (5:33 PM Eastern Standard Time)

So there are somethings happening in the Atlantic right now. The Polar Prince - the mother ship of Titan - is still at the scene of the RMS Titanic Wreckage spot. The mother ship probably won't leave until the Titan is returned or they know it's whereabouts or unless for whatever reason the search is called off. Good News: The Atalante - The French ship - is almost there! She is the only ship that is capable to retrieve Titan. They can see her now from North-East of the Atlantic Ocean. There are three special crafts and two of them are spot on the dot of the Titanic Wreckage. These could be robots, drones or more P8. There is a hauler with a big crane on it. They are also scanning the water and this will show them possibly the Titanic to see if anything change with the wreckage and sea floor in hopes to spot the Titan. This is vital for the Atalante and it gives her a map to dive it's underwater vehicle called the Victor 6000. Victor has the ability to repair submersibles of minor fractions and it can haul subs back to the surface with it's Flyaway Deep Ocean Salvage System. It helped rescue a helicopter from 19,085 ft deep on land in 2021. ROV Odysseus 6K was also sent to assist. It's on a plane but there is no word if it's at the site yet. It's also unclear if Deep Energy - the pipe-laying ship - have dropped it's ROVs yet. There are three other vessels in the area due to the expansion of the search area in the south of the Atlantic Ocean. They want to cover all corners in case of the Titan's sudden return to the surface or debris. The Horizon Arctic - Canadian ship - is now entering the Atlantic but she probably will not get there until tomorrow.

A lot of things are expected to happen soon as Atalante arrives and the mission will start fast. They'll likely start diving before midnight. If they are able to spot Titan before the dive, this is going to be like trying to get a small toy out of a claw machine. I have heard that if the Titan is stuck in the Titanic but still close to the surface of the bow or decks.... they may have to tear her open which would result in further decay of the shipwreck. The Victor 6000 is compared to something like the jaws of life. This in itself is a very dangerous mission if they have to go this route because the shipwreck is unpredictable and could cause the whole thing to pin both the Titan and Victor plus any other submersible that maybe in the water. We will just have to wait and see what they do. I hope they get those sonar images before the dive soon! It will be a lot safer for them and they'll what they are going into when they get down there.

Yeah

A Canadian military surveillance aircraft detected underwater noises as a massive operation searched early Wednesday in a remote part of the North Atlantic for a submersible that vanished while taking five people down to the wreck of the Titanic.

A statement from the U.S. Coast Guard did not elaborate on what rescuers believed the noises could be, though it offered a glimmer of hope for those lost aboard the Titan. The vessel is estimated to have as little as a day's worth of oxygen left if it is still functioning.

Three search vessels arrived on-scene Wednesday morning, including one that has side-scanning sonar capabilities, the Coast Guard tweeted.

The Coast Guard wrote on Twitter that a Canadian military surveillance aircraft had “detected underwater noises in the search area" and that an underwater robot sent to search that area has so far “yielded negative results.”

Still, authorities pushed on Wednesday to get salvage equipment to the scene in case the sub is found.

The Coast Guard statement about detecting sounds underwater came after Rolling Stone reported that search teams heard “banging sounds in the area every 30 minutes.”

The report was encouraging to some experts because submarine crews unable to communicate with the surface are taught to bang on their submersible’s hull to be detected by sonar.

“It sends a message that you’re probably using military techniques to find me and this is how I’m saying it," said Frank Owen, a submarine search and rescue expert. "So, that’s really encouraging if that’s the case.”

Richard Garriott de Cayeux, the president of The Explorers Club, wrote an open letter to his club’s adventurers, saying he had “much greater confidence” about the search after speaking to officials in Congress, the U.S. military and the White House.

However, no official has publicly suggested they know the source of the underwater noises.

Meanwhile, questions remain about how teams could reach the lost submersible, which could be as deep as about 12,500 feet (3,800 meters) below the surface near the watery tomb of the historic ocean liner. Newly uncovered allegations also suggest there had been significant warnings made about vessel safety during its development.

Lost aboard the vessel are pilot Stockton Rush, the CEO of the company leading the expedition. His passengers are a British adventurer, two members of a Pakistani business family and a Titanic expert.

Three transport planes from the U.S. military have been used to move commercial submersible and support equipment from Buffalo, New York, to St. John’s, Newfoundland, to aid in the search, a spokesperson for U.S. Air Mobility Command said.

The Canadian military said it provided a patrol aircraft and two surface ships, including one that specializes in dive medicine. It also dropped sonar buoys to listen for any sounds from the Titan.

Authorities reported the 22-foot carbon-fiber vessel overdue Sunday night, setting off the search in waters about 435 miles (700 kilometers) south of St. John’s.

The submersible had a four-day oxygen supply when it put to sea around 6 a.m. Sunday, according to David Concannon, an adviser to OceanGate Expeditions, which oversaw the mission.

Owen said the estimated 96-hour oxygen supply is a useful “target” for searchers, but is only based on a “nominal amount of consumption the average human might consume in doing certain things.” Owen said the diver on board the Titan would likely be advising passengers to “do anything to reduce your metabolic levels so that you can actually extend this 96 hours.”

Chris Brown, a British adventurer who paid a deposit to go on the Titan voyage but later withdrew because of what he called safety concerns, said word that the searchers have heard sounds is both good news and bad news.

“If the sounds are coming from below the water indicator then that indicates that they may be alive in the water, but now we’ve got time pressures in getting them up to the surface,” Brown told ABC’s “Good Morning America” Wednesday.

The submersible had seven backup systems to return to the surface, including sandbags and lead pipes that drop off and an inflatable balloon.

Aaron Newman, who has been a passenger on the Titan, told NBC’s “Today” show Wednesday that if the submersible is below a couple hundred meters and without power, the passengers are in complete darkness and it's cold.

“It was cold when we were at the bottom,” he said. “You had layered up. You had wool hats on and were doing everything to stay warm at the bottom.”

Meanwhile, documents show that OceanGate had been warned there might be catastrophic safety problems posed by the way the experimental vessel was developed.

David Lochridge, OceanGate’s director of marine operations, said in a 2018 lawsuit that the company’s testing and certification was insufficient and would “subject passengers to potential extreme danger in an experimental submersible.”

The company insisted that Lochridge was “not an engineer and was not hired or asked to perform engineering services on the Titan.” The firm also says the vessel under development was a prototype, not the now-missing Titan.

The Marine Technology Society, which describes itself as “a professional group of ocean engineers, technologists, policy-makers, and educators,” also expressed concern that year in a letter to Rush, OceanGate’s chief executive. The society said it was critical that the company submit its prototype to tests overseen by an expert third party before launching in order to safeguard passengers. The New York Times first reported about those documents.

The search for the missing vessel has drawn international attention. In Dubai, where the missing British adventurer Hamish Harding lives, Crown Prince Hamadan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum wrote: “Dubai and its people pray for their safety and hopeful return home.”

Others aboard include Pakistani nationals Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, whose eponymous firm invests across the country. In Pakistan's port city of Karachi, employees at his firms said they prayed for the two's safe return, as did government officials. French explorer and Titanic expert Paul-Henry Nargeolet also was on the vessel.

Describing Harding and Nargeloet as “tourists” is a misnomer, said Newman, the former Titan passenger.

“These are people who lived on the edge and loved what they were doing. If anything’s going on, these are people that are calm and thinking this through and doing what they can to stay alive,” Newman said, adding that he felt safe and in the hands of professionals on his descent. “It’s a good set of people.”

Their power of flight. Power of breath blasts from their mouth, energy blasts from their palms of their clawed hands and soles of their clawed feet, and optic blasts from their eyes as an alien hybrid comes from lunar rays, solar radiation, and cosmic energy.

His/her/their true alien form has several eyes. So he/she/they have optic blasts like cyclops, Superman, or darkseid. His/her/their optic blasts from his/her/their two eyes are crimson. His/her/their optic blasts from his/her/their main two eyes he/she/they use to see are one directional like Superman or Cyclops. These optic blasts are more concentrated and focused. 

His/her/their optic blasts from his/her/their other eyes are omnidirectional like darkseid. These optic blasts are not as accurate. These optic blasts are gold. Capable of redirecting itself if the target moves but won’t hit them as powerful. 

His/her/their true alien form has several eyes. He/she/they uses two to see. The other two or three eyes are more supportive or extra sensory. Letting him/her/them sense throughout the electromagnetic spectrum. Like ultraviolet, x-ray, radio, or thermal vision. Think of it like the eyes of a spider or any multi eyed organism.

They can fire overcharged oversized optic blasts from the eyes, energy blasts from the palms of their hands, & breath blasts from their mouth after absorbing extra solar radiation, lunar rays, or cosmic energy. 

Their eyes can fire chi vision, ectoplasm vision, freeze vision, ionic vision, laser vision, magic vision, plasma vision, radiation vision, & solar energy vision.

Mutant: 

He/she/they got their mutant powers of shapeshifting from coming into contact with a serum. The serum was a pink ooze that he/she/they accidentally came into contact with when he/she/they was stopping a mad scientist.

He/she/they got their mutant powers of shapeshifting from coming into contact with a serum. The serum was a pink ooze that he/she/they accidentally came into contact with when he/she/they was stopping a mad scientist.

Metamorph: 

Their powers of shapeshifting are innate and have unlimited potential throughout their long lifespan. It is their own mutation as a mutant as a metahuman and superhuman.

Changeling, metamorph, or shapeshifter with unlimited forms (potential limitless). 

He/she/they were born with his/her/their superhuman and supernatural control over transfiguration and shapeshifting.

Mimicry: 

He/she/they can psionically modify the configuration of his/her/their organic cells at will on a cellular, microscopic, atomic, subatomic level, & nanoscopic level. So, he/she/they can cause himself/herself/themselves to sound, act, & appear as a precise carbon copy of any of any human or humanoid. That is regular, divine, mythical, mythological, magical, discovered, undiscovered, extinct, living, aquatic, avian, terrestrial, extraterrestrial, demonic, imaginary, mythical, fictional, magical, futuristic, mystical, science fiction, & fantasy. So, he/she/they can shapeshift into any human, humanoid, semi-humanoid, beast, creature, monster, & animal regardless of any sex, any gender, any race, height, weight, body type, hair style, hair color, eye color, skin tone. He/she/they gained this ability as a teenager. 

He/she/they can transfigure into anything whether or not they are super powered or unpowered, any species, wearing or not wearing clothes, wearing armor or not wearing armor, & or whether they have or don’t have cybernetic or bionic enhancements. He/she/they can shapeshift into anything whether or not they have: scales, fur, feathers, horns, and wings. He/she/they can precisely imitate someone’s retinal pattern, finger prints, vocal patterns and copy their memories, mental thought patterns, finger palm patterns, skin pore patterns, skin, smell, vocal cords, emotional patterns, & repeating behaviors to fool anyone including the most powerful empaths and the most powerful telepaths. He/she/they gained this capability as a young adult. 

With the Prime the primordial force of the cosmos that he/she/they are avatar, champion, & embodiment of he/she/they are the defender and protector of all sentient life.

Saab presents strategic defense solutions at LAAD

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 04/10/23 - 09:53 in LAAD, Military, Saab

Saab will present at LAAD Defence & Security 2023 highly technological defense solutions, with emphasis on the Gripen fighter and the MSHORAD anti-aircraft defense system.

Saab, a leading company in defense and security technologies, will participate in LAAD Defence & Security 2023, which will take place between April 11 and 14, in Rio de Janeiro. During the event, the company will present a broad portfolio of state-of-the-art air, land and naval solutions.

Saab maintains a partnership with the Brazilian Armed Forces and seeks to expand its strategic performance in the region, as highlighted by Marianna Silva, general director of Saab in Latin America:

"Saab has a strong history of cooperation with the Brazilian Armed Forces. In addition to the Gripen program, we can highlight our anti-aircraft defense and training and simulation solutions, and advanced information monitoring and fusion systems, used in the Integrated Border Monitoring System (SISFRON)," explains Marianna Silva. "We want to expand this strategic partnership and we are excited to present our cutting-edge solutions for Latin America," he adds.

The Gripen E multimission fighter, called F-39 Gripen by the Brazilian Air Force (FAB), will again be one of the great highlights in LAAD. The full-size replica of the hunt will be open for public visitation during the event without the need for prior scheduling. The aircraft is a symbol of the largest technology transfer program from Sweden to Brazil, with a great contribution to the development of the national defense industry. The first four fighters, of the 36 aircraft acquired by the Brazilian Air Force, are already in operation in the country.

Another great highlight of Saab in LAAD will be the low-height mobile anti-aircraft defense system (Mobile Short-Range Air Defense - MSHORAD), an anti-aircraft defense solution with a high degree of mobility to accompany mechanized and armored troops in displacement, which combines one or more RBS 70 firing units and a Giraffe 1X radar, interconnected to Saab' At the booth, Saab demonstrates the possibility of integrating an RBS70 NG shooting unit into the Brazilian Army's Armored Medium Personnel Transport Vehicle (VBTP MSR) Guarani.

Low-height mobile anti-aircraft defense system (Mobile Short-Range Air Defense - MSHORAD) in the Guarani.

The Giraffe 1X prototype will also be on display. The short-range, transportable and multi-mission three-dimensional X-band radar can be easily unfolded in various environments, from terrestrial (fixed or mobile) to naval platforms, in the Sea Giraffe 1X version, as well as stationary positions and any type of C2 structure.

The public will be able to get to know other solutions, such as Saab's ground combat systems such as the Carl-Gustaf® M4, the new generation of portable and multifunctional weaponry used in the protection of troops and combat facilities, and the NLAW, an anti-tank missile system, both used in numerous NATO member countries in their operations.

IN SYMPATHY...

He squeezes his eyes shut tighter, as if this will prevent wakefulness from overcoming his body. His head pounds, and the searing light streaming from between the slats of the open blinds does nothing to help. Baekhyun’s not certain exactly what has woken him up until he hears the tell-tale sound of movement in body of the apartment. If the sun is up, Minseok will have driven himself to work. So, if the sun is up and there’s someone in his apartment then it is most certainly Kim Myunji—Minseok’s mother. The sound is loud enough that he can hear it, despite his head feeling half-underwater most days. She must be on a mission today. Lucky him.

Baekhyun groans and places a hand across his closed eyes. He could whimper; the darkness of just that little motion soothes the ache behind his skull something magical. Once he collects the strength for it, he’ll reach for the pillow on Minseok’s side of the bed, pull it across the sheets and overtop his head.

Except, as he lets his hand fall away to do just that (prepared to brave the searing sunlight for just a minute), the room falls into shadow. There’s the distinct sound of the blinds being pulled. Myunji. Then, her voice (grating against his senses, but he would never tell her that aloud): “Put some clothes on; I made breakfast for you.”

Then, the door shuts with a thud that rattles his head.

Fucking Myunji. He loves her; he hates her.

Baekhyun blinks open his eyes, fighting the immediate urge to prop himself up and scan the room. The blinds are drawn and the window and door is shut. There is nothing to be afraid of, nothing that can jump out at him. He sits up eventually, after his breathing has relaxed back to that sleepy languor not riddled with pain (though his head still aches, and will only worsen throughout the day).

Myunji’s set a washcloth and bowl next to the bedside. Baekhyun feels a stroke of fondness for her, the same he’d felt when the blinds had been shut, as he reaches out and wets the rag. He wrings it between strong, capable hands, before pressing it to his face. It helps to wake him up, to dissuade the laziness of sleep from crossing back over his features. It also helps to soothe his headache. She understands so much of his suffering (and also so little).

He swings his legs over the edge of the bed and stands. The longer he moves around, the more easy it will be to stay moving around. “What brings you in?” He asks, once he’s dressed himself, opened the bedroom door, and entered the living room. “Minseok said you were focused on the move.” She’s moving out of the mountains and closer to the southern sea (which, in Baekhyun’s opinion is a fool’s move, but… who’s he to say).

“His father’s getting on my nerves.” She pats the cushion next to the coffee table. A bowl of cooked rice with egg, soy, and seaweed, as well as a side plate of kimchi’s already been set out for him. “And my friend invited me to the market with her this morning now that things are going back to normal.”

Hah. As if.

Baekhyun contains his want to scoff aloud. Instead, he sinks onto the cushion and folds his knees up under himself as neatly as he can. “Did you buy anything interesting, in that case?” And Myunji shows him some of the clothing she has bought, as well as a new glass of nail polish. He offers then, to paint her nails after they have finished eating. It feels like a simple way of returning the favor, of showing her that he appreciates her visits (that sometimes, he needs them). “I ought to start thinking about what to get Minseok for his birthday.” It’ll be the first year Baekhyun actually celebrates it with him, though they feel as though they have known each other much longer.

It is the similarity of experience (even if they both went through so much different).

He continues: “What did he used to like?”

The primary objective of bathymetric surveys is to create detailed maps of the seafloor, which include data on underwater mountains, valleys, trenches, and other features.

The methods used in bathymetric surveying have evolved significantly over the years. Traditional methods involved using lead lines and sounding poles, but modern techniques now employ sonar technology, particularly multibeam and single-beam echo sounders. These devices emit sound waves and measure the time it takes for them to return after bouncing off the seafloor. The data collected from these sound waves is then processed to generate accurate maps of the underwater terrain.

Applications of Bathymetric Surveying Bathymetric surveys are used in a wide range of applications, including:

Navigation and Safety: Bathymetric charts are crucial for safe navigation, helping ships avoid underwater hazards and find safe passage. They are essential for port and harbor development, dredging, and maintaining shipping lanes.

When Pixels Meet Pirouettes: The Dizzying Dance of Digital Divas and Techno Twirlers

Ladies, gentlemen, and sentient smartphones, lend me your ears—or, you know, your Bluetooth earbuds! Gather 'round as we embark on a psychedelic voyage into the neon-lit vortex of digital performance art. Brace yourselves for a spectacle that makes a David Lynch film look like an episode of "Sesame Street." Imagine, if you will, a stage where humans tango with technology, creating a spectacle so surreal it could make Salvador Dalí’s mustache twitch with envy.

Our tale begins in a parallel universe where Shakespearean thespians and TikTok influencers join forces, conjuring up a dazzling display of digital sorcery. Here, projection mapping isn’t just for fancy building facades; it's the wizardry that transforms bland backdrops into a vortex of visual vomit. You’re no longer in Kansas, dear Dorothy; you’re in a digital wonderland where pixels prance like caffeinated unicorns.

Now, picture this: a lithe ballerina gracefully leaping across the stage, her every move shadowed by a digital avatar. This isn’t your grandma’s hologram of Tupac; it’s a fully interactive digital doppelgänger, capable of pirouetting in perfect synchrony with our human performer. The avatar, let’s call her Digi-Diva, isn’t just mimicking movements; she’s reading the ballerina's every twitch and twerk, thanks to the marvels of motion capture technology. It’s as if a Fitbit and a PlayStation had a lovechild and named it "Art."

This isn’t just a gimmick—oh no, this is a revolution in the realm of technology and art. Picture a world where Beyoncé’s backup dancers are half-human, half-digital, and all fabulous. These avatars are not confined to the mundane laws of physics; they can leap higher than a kangaroo on a pogo stick and contort like a contortionist in a Salvador Dalí painting. The human performer, bless their analog heart, is no longer constrained by the limitations of mere flesh and bone. They’ve got a digital wingman, and together, they’re breaking the fourth wall with the subtlety of a sledgehammer.

But let’s dive deeper into this rabbit hole of techno-twiddling and avatar antics. Projection mapping isn’t just for creating trippy backdrops; it's for transforming the very essence of the stage. One moment, it’s a serene forest; the next, it’s a post-apocalyptic wasteland where even Mad Max would need a GPS. And the best part? These digital landscapes react to the performers in real-time. Step on a virtual twig, and it snaps; breathe on a holographic flower, and it blooms. This is interactive software on steroids, my friends, where the stage is a living, breathing organism, as unpredictable as a cat meme.

Now, let’s not forget our beloved motion capture technology. Remember when it was just for creating lifelike video game characters and resurrecting dead celebrities for awkward commercials? Ha! Those were simpler times. Today, motion capture suits are the haute couture of digital performance art. Imagine a dancer donned in a skin-tight suit covered in tiny sensors, looking like an escapee from a high-tech disco. Every move they make is captured, translated, and amplified by their digital counterpart. It’s as if Michael Jackson’s moonwalk and a glitch in the Matrix had a baby and taught it ballet.

But what’s a performance without a bit of audience participation? Enter interactive software, the pièce de résistance of our digital performance art extravaganza. In this brave new world, the audience isn’t just a passive observer; they’re an active participant, like contestants on a weirdly avant-garde game show. Imagine a theater where your smartphone isn’t just a distraction; it’s a tool. Scan a QR code, download an app, and suddenly, you’re controlling elements of the performance. Want the stage to turn into a fiery inferno? Swipe right. Prefer a serene underwater scene? Swipe left. It’s Tinder for stage design, and it’s as chaotic and hilarious as it sounds.

And let’s not even start on the performers themselves. These digital avatars aren’t just mindless clones; they’ve got personalities, sass, and more attitude than a Real Housewife of the Metaverse. They can interact with the audience, make snarky comments, and even throw shade at the human performers. It’s like watching a roast battle where one of the contestants is a sentient GIF.

As we wade through this kaleidoscopic circus of bytes and ballet, one must ponder the deeper implications. Are we witnessing the birth of a new art form, or just the fever dream of a coder who’s had one too many energy drinks? Is this the next evolution of theater, or just an elaborate excuse for tech geeks to show off their latest toys? The answer, my dear Watsons, is both and neither. It’s a beautiful, bewildering mess—a digital Dadaist delight that defies categorization.

But let’s not kid ourselves. This fusion of technology and art isn’t just about pushing boundaries; it’s about smashing them to smithereens and then using the pieces to build a cybernetic sculpture of a dancing llama. It’s about taking the mundane and making it magnificent, the ordinary and making it extraordinary. It’s about creating a world where the lines between reality and virtuality blur, and where anything is possible—even a dance-off between a human and their holographic twin.

So, next time you find yourself at a performance that’s part Shakespearean soliloquy, part TikTok dance challenge, and part acid trip, remember this: You’re not just watching a show; you’re witnessing the future. A future where technology and art are not just intertwined but doing the cha-cha on a stage of infinite possibilities. And as you sit there, bewildered and bemused, just remember—you’re part of the show too. Welcome to the wild, wacky, and wonderful world of digital performance art. It’s not just a performance; it’s a phenomenon. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a date with a digital diva and a projection-mapped paradise.
