alt verse roundup! || @dagdasgodslayer

"Hey, Nanashi, hold on a sec, would you?"

Steven's smile is easy and warm, just like always. It's not hard to pretend; this assignment has been pretty fun, as far as acquisitions go. Nanashi's a nice kid-- he'll do really well once he gets settled in-- and it's rare that Bell gets to gush about old communication technology to people who will actually listen. Maybe if things don't work out for him at the company, he can start teaching for real.

He almost grins at his own joke, but catches himself in time. He's about to have a very important conversation, and he can't afford to get lost in his own head.

"You've been killing it! Uh, I hope you don’t mind, but I have some friends over at Afton Robotics, and I told them about you. They’re always looking for bright young minds to help keep them pushing forward, and I think you’d do really well there in an internship, if you end up wanting one.”

If Nanashi were a normal kid, an offer like that would change his entire life. Afton Robotics is big. Career-making big. Having the Afton name on your resume means you’re a shoo-in for nearly any other research position in the country.

But Nanashi’s not normal, and Steven’s not done.

“I wasn't just impressed with your work here, though. You've-- look, I don't know how to say this without sounding cheesy, but I know you've been... splitting your time between school and stuff and-- extracurriculars? Very unique extracurriculars?" He sounds a little sheepish, as though he's not quite sure how to phrase things, but his tone remains open. Inviting. Safe.

"You don't have to explain yourself to me. I just want you to know that you're not alone, and that-- I think I can help you out there, too. If you want it. We're more alike than we are different, if you know what I mean."

[mute-call]

She... prepared for this. She thoroughly prepared for this. Okay, Steve, time to switch gears-- this isn't just some silly hypothetical, this is something she's actually excited about, and it's time to match that energy.

"Uh, hey, wow, look at that!" he starts, doing his best to ramp up his own enthusiasm for something she's clearly... passionate about.

The description of the head catches him off-guard, however. Who could blame him?

"Wh-- okay, I'm going to assume that this little lady is--" was? "--not the stereotypical granny."

What did she do to River to deserve this?

Steven gives Hemlock a concerned, empathetic look, half-wishing he could pause their demonstration and ask if she wants to talk about her mysterious past, but this seems more cathartic for the assassin than a quick chat.

"It looks... great. Very zombie-esque."

And now she's quizzing him.

"I don't know, the eye?" Gross. "I'm going to be real with you, though, I don't know if I have it in me to stab anyone in th-- in the eyeball. I feel like that would hurt me almost as much as it hurts them. Heh."

@mute-call continued from HERE

Oh ye of little faith! Little does he know, there's always a scenario wherein one might need to 'toothpick' another person... Or utilize some other arbitrary tool, the toothpick was really just the more flowery option.

Still, she's all sorts of excited that he agreed; and with a little squeak, she brings forth The Prop. Yes, she made something, a rather crudely-created, yet still vague enough to be uncanny, 'head' made of silicon and ballistic gel.

"Do you like? I modeled it off my dearest grandmother. Couldn't get the real thing, unfortunately, but-... This'll be close enough! Now, to start, where do you think the toothpick needs to go?"

He laughs-- he can't help it.

"You've really gotten the wrong idea about me, huh?" That's a good thing. That means he's actually doing his job, and he should not be admitting otherwise.

But he's a little tipsy for the first time in years, and there's an irritating static-like buzz of local communications filtering unbidden through his mind like he's a radio someone forgot to tune. He had forgotten that this is why he stopped drinking in the first place; an ability like his is extremely annoying when he's not sober enough to control it.

It's a little easier out here, though, where he doesn't have to listen to awful, pointless chatter in person on top of the calls channeling through his head. It's far easier to concentrate on responding to just one person than it is to flit from group to group like the real go getter for which Ms. Dahl has mistaken him.

"I'm not here to make money." He couldn't care less about that sort of thing; it's not like he's the one who keeps it at the end of the day anyway.

"I just go where they tell me to, y'know?" What he does when he gets there is his own concern.

"If anything, I'd expect you to be in there, uh, securing connections, and all. I have to be here. Why on earth did you come if you're not going to enjoy yourself?"

"Is this on some company credit card?"

She barely spares him a glance over her shoulder, exhaling a thin stream of cigarette smoke up towards the sky. The rooftop terrace was all but empty; the rest of the patrons had clustered back inside, shying away from the hazy coral skyline, the encroach of clouds marring one half of the horizon. A tiny string of garden lights had only just flicked on.

"You want to make some money, you should be back in there," she says after a beat. One hand cups the other elbow. The cigarette dangles between her index and middle fingers, the glowing tip just a little too close to the knuckle. Mary turns on her heel, squints at him, at the coming and goings of the bar. "Lion's den. For someone like you."

Observe Split And Merge

The Document Merge utility consolidates the contents of a "source" document into a "goal" file to create a single, merged file. The Merger allows you to take multiple audio information, rearrange them in irrespective of order you need, then export it as a single combined audio file. That method, I on no account need to open GarageBand or each other multi-monitor audio software program program. You may reduce audio recordsdata into MP3 or mix completely different MP3 into one file with ease. In order that they launched Merge. At this time, starting a small label can be as simple as firing up the laptop computer; pressing "File"; burning CDs and then posting samples on MySpace. However 20 years ago, the method was just a little more mysterious. As a part of the merging process, you choose the contact record you want to stay energetic and the opposite report to be merged and archived. Wild Apricot doesn't provide a mechanism to search for attainable duplicate data. Subsequent is go to the editor and spotlight the a part of the music that you just need to merge then hit the Edit button followed by Copy. After which move to the succeeding observe, on the boards editor move the cursor on the end of the track and press Edit > Paste Repeat this process till all of the mp3 information that you simply wish to merge for you project is completed. Merging, although not difficult, can feel intimidating—significantly if you're new to it! The most common error individuals make is attempting to complete the process too rapidly. Take your time as you merge to make sure you are coming to the right conclusions, retaining essentially the most accurate information, and documenting your conclusions. Also, the extra you realize about your ancestor while you begin the merging process, the simpler the process can be and the extra assured you'll feel that you are making the best judgment calls. This Sunday, June 4th, is Merge Information Night time at Durham Bulls Athletic Park and we're celebrating the occasion with a day full of songs from the Merge catalog. I do know that cat also works with textual content files, however what other file varieties might be merged by simply using cat and nonetheless stay usable (e.g., film files, and so on.) If anyone is aware of about this I'm very curious. The aim of the positioning is to mean you can create a video from a single MP3 and merge it with a picture as a cover. Merge MP3, MP3 Toolkit and Free MP3 Cutter Joiner are three different software program tools you may be a part of sound information with. By merging audio files, you may bring your music assortment together. Notice: For efficiency causes, the Mass Merge Duplicates command processes a most of a hundred records. To merge more than a hundred data, run the command repeatedly till all duplicates are merged. Moreover customary MP3 format, MP3 Toolkit supports most of in style audio & video formats like WMA, WMV, MP4, WAV, OGG, FLV, MOV, M4P, M4A and more, additionally helps top quality audio like FLAC and APE. With MP3 Toolkit, you are able to convert, cut, merge, rip and report MP3. With the observe within the clipboard left click on on the placement of the other monitor the place you wish to paste your music into. In case you just need to merge, click the place on the very finish of the observe and press Ctrl-V so as to add the music there. You can select any other position in case you choose that. Congratulations! You have just merged your first audio signal, and subsequently cut up it up again, effected different parts of it, after which re-united them as one sound with contrasting effects on both sides of the stereo spectrum. Not too shabby for twenty minutes value of work. I wouldn't use the setup I've used to show you how one can work with the Spider Audio in a manufacturing setting, but you must definitely know your approach round one of Reason's most neglected and deceptively easy devices and be capable of come up with tons of, if not hundreds, of fascinating and insane results. Free Merge MP3 is a handy audio merging device that may simply combine, merge or join MP3 information into one MP3 file to allow you to be capable of manage your separated MP3 musical information better. You'll be able to add audio information with completely different formats, together with WMA, MP3, MP2, MPGA, WAV, OGG, CDA, VOX, UNCOOKED, G721, G723, G726, MPC, AIF, AIFF, etc. On the same time, it could possibly also convert audio recordsdata between totally different audio codecs and the output quality is maintained very effectively. Exact parameters adjustment & format presets are supplied for skilled or informal use. LB: Definitely. TheyвЂve been on the label longer than virtually every other band. I think part of what makes Lambchop a quintessential Merge band is their weirdness, or the accidentalness of it all. Merge is unintentional; we started a document label, and it actually worked out, which is form of shocking. Lambchop was an outlet for Kurt WagnerвЂ"he was a carpenter, he worked installing flooring, and within the evening to blow of steam heвЂd go to this bar along with his mates and play with whoever wanted to get on stage. It somehow grew to become a successful band that has bought a lot of data over its lifetime, and has been critically acclaimed and brought very seriously.

A person can't be merged with a company If the profiles represent the identical entity, edit the profiles so that they are the identical sort of report. Do you've got one, or more, recordsdata you might want to merge collectively? If so, there are many applications accessible for Windows 10, and different platforms, that enable you to hitch numerous file codecs collectively. This is how one can merge MP3s, video files, PDFs (Moveable Doc Format) and txt text information collectively in Windows 10.The revered indie label Merge Data celebrated its ten-yr anniversary with Oh, Merge, a set of largely rare and unreleased tracks from a few of its most interesting artists. The album displays Merge's diversity, showcasing previous-faculty indie rock from Guv'ner, Spent, and label founders Superchunk together with the post-rock of Ganger and lo-fi electronica of Third Eye Basis , while still finding room for the pop classicism of East River Pipe , Impartial Milk Resort , and the Ladybug Transistor, who turn in a rendition of the Bee Gees ' "Massachusetts." The Mad Scene, the Magnetic Fields, Lambchop, Pipe, and Portastatic also contribute worthy tracks to Oh, Merge, making it a wonderful retrospective of a distinctive and achieved label.

Nick: Previously on Zoomorphia!

Judy: We found out that Clawhauser was investigating Savages.

Nick: It kinda explains why he was in the middle of Savanna Central back in chapter 5. Haha

Judy: In addition, it seems that Bolt and his team are keeping watch on us. Thinking somebody is stalking us gives me the creeps.

Nick: Just like when you stalked Finnick and me throughout the city after I hustled you for the first time?

Judy: M-Moving on, we came across another strange Savage. This time, we also chanced upon suspicious mammals, really suspicious. The marmot released the Savage from a cage and the donkey could command it.

Nick: What’s more, we fought Bolt the silver wolf again. It’s unbelievable that even after we activated tail spikes which pierced through Bolt’s body, he was still able to move! Can it be we are dealing with a zombie!?

Judy: I suppose not.

Nick: Or we’re actually fighting against a vampire!?

Judy: That’s less likely.

Nick: Ghost!?!?

Judy: Calm down! Anyway, now the chapter 13!

Fanfiction.net

.-.. . - .----. ... / -.-. --- -. - .. -. ..- .

    Inside a motorhome, Bolt the alaskan tundra wolf, wearing a white T-shirt tucked into black jeans with a black belt, was lounging on the couch. “I thought after they got beat back then, they wouldn’t dare to fight me again. What a spirit~” He admired Nick and Judy, rolling his right shoulder.

    Suddenly, the white eyebrowed-and-muzzled black wildcat slapped Bolt with a giant paper fan.

“Dapuq, Mittens?” He wondered why she was mad at him.

“Were you out of your mind!? Seriously, what were you thinking when you used that level of accel despite those damages?” Mittens the wildcat scowled at the wolf.

“But you ordered me to retreat-” He tried to excuse himself but the fan hit him again.

“Don’t argue with me!” She then sighed, “Forget it, at least this gave me an opportunity to make some modifications.” placing her paper fan upon her shoulder.

“Now what?” The tan lemming scrambled up the couch to sit with Bolt.

“No worries. I have a plan~” He winked at his friends.

... --- -- . - .... .. -. --. / -- --- .-. .

    Clawhauser was having a bowl of cereal at ZPD’s reception desk, reflecting on an event that occured a couple of days earlier, his friends as Hybrid losing to the mysterious silver chrome wolf once more.

    Back then, while I was carrying Nick’s unconscious body and waiting outside the warehouse in Rainforest District, I got startled by Nick waking up without warning. He was agitated because his consciousness returned to his body, not resulted by decision to detransform but being forced to detransform by Bolt. We hurried to rescue Judy lying on the pile of broken planks in the warehouse.

    The big spotted cat pulled himself from sinking into memory before taking another bite of cereal. “How are you doing now, Judy?” He inquired after the doe rabbit who was behind the desk with him. The tod fox, accompanying her, was none other than her partner, Nick Wilde.

“Good, thanks” Judy actively hopped over a backrest and sat on an oversized chair that was clearly for a larger mammal, whereas Nick idly climbed to sit next to her.

“So, about that silver wolf hero… He did help y-... helped Hybrid fight Savage s, right?” Clawhauser avoided using the pronoun ‘you’ while talking about Hybrid stuff.

“But he also murdered several mammals-” Judy frowned.

“Carrots, as far as we know, his targets are only criminals.” Nick added collectedly.

“If I didn’t misheard you, Clawhauser, you did called that guy ‘hero’.” The fox made the cheetah realize that he subconsciously perceived Bolt as a hero. “He seriously looks like one.”

    Once they mused on Bolt’s silver chrome appearance and fights with the monsters, he can easily be considered as a superhero.

“Criminals or not, mammals are mammals. It’s not right to end anybody’s life as one pleases.” She made an argument, believing that punishing criminals should be done by process of judgment, not some vigilantes.

“And to call that kind of mammals a hero… is...” She clenched her fists.

    Clawhauser looked at Judy with worried eyes. As for Nick, he decided to change the subject. “More concerningly, that guy undoubtedly knows how to detransform Hybrid. It’s like he recognized MidniDriver.” His words reminded Judy when Bolt bent down and pulled the 45 degree tilted syringe on the left side of MidniDriver.

“He’s even well informed about Hybrid’s identity. This can’t be good.” Judy grew apprehensive.

“Take it easy. Want some?” Clawhauser scooped cereal from a bowl with a spoon, then offered her a bite.

    Reluctant to eat a bite of milk-soaked sugary toasted oat pieces, she eventually gave in to cheetah’s cheery smile, about to go for a bite. However, Nick snatched it, eating it up before she could.

“So sweet~” The tod chewed it while he was gazing at a pouting doe.

“Don’t be mad. Here” The cheetah offered the bunny another spoon of cereal. She opened her mouth, leaning towards the spoon, but he drew the spoon back and ate the cereal.

“Benjamin! Not you too!” She did not expect that Clawhauser would tease her as well.

“Sorry, I can’t help.” He giggled.

“Aww~ Don’t pout~” Nick wagged his tail slowly, brushing Judy’s cheek.

    She caught his tail irritatedly, then placed it down gently on her lap, simpering after a few moments. Next, it got her thinking. Unexpected, huh? She petted the fluffy fox tail.

“Let’s get back to work.” Grabbing Nick’s tie, she jumped down the chair and then led him to the exit.

“Bye, Clawhauser.” He waved his paw at the cheetah behind the desk as he left the station with his partner.

    Clawhauser, putting down his bowl, felt his sugar-coated grain pale in comparison to how sweet those two were.

.-. . -.. ..- -.-. . / .... . ... .. - .- - .. --- -.

“Thank you for inviting me here.” The polo-shirted female yellow-bellied marmot turned to look out the window.Seeing that a plainly-and-simply decorated room she was in was on a branch of one of tall and large trees like skyscrapers in Rainforest District, she got a little bit scared of current height above the ground level.

“You like the view from up here?” An alaskan tundra wolf in a groovy vintage black leather jacket, paws in pockets, was standing leaning against the door.

    The marmot gave a nervous laugh in response, “Honestly, you are as handsome as your voice.” complimenting him whom she met directly for the first time.

“Thanks~” The wolf chuckled. “By the way..., where is it?” When he raised a subject, she, clearing her throat, regained composure before answering.

“Your order is being kept in the warehouse not far from here. Please rest assured.” She made the palm rub gesture. “If you wanna test its quality, we can head out-”

“You guys heard her~” He blurted out all of a sudden, confusing the marmot. She was curious about what the wolf meant by ‘you guys’.

The wolf still acted friendly and casual but the marmot sensed something fishy.

“Seriously, it’s been a few days, yet you are wearing the same clothes.” He drew his paws out the jeans’ pockets and came nearer to her.

    The marmot got addled. Formerly, the wolf and she had only contacted through phone until this time that they finally met each other personally; therefore, she wondered how he knew about her dressed in the same clothes she had worn for a few days.

    The wolf rolled his jacket right sleeve up and then brushed fur on under forearm, which revealed a zipper. After unzipping, it could be seen that underneath his skin was some sort of mechanism.

“Switch on” He uttered calmly, pulling a lever inside his arm to ‘on’.

    Electrical sparks ran around him. Following one quick flash of his white fur, the alaskan tundra wolf transformed his silver chrome form right in front of the marmot, a black bar over his eyes, solar panels on chest and shoulders, two thunder‘bolt’ stripes on abdomen to top it all.

    The alarmed marmot took steps away from Bolt the sliver chrome wolf. Her instinct screamed at her to run away as the imposing shiny canine was advancing towards her. She was accordingly looking for the escape routes, craning her neck to look at the door behind him.

    It may be impossible to outrun the wolf. The marmot thought, throwing the choice of exiting through the front door out the window. Window? She glanced at one of the room windows.

“Escape through window if you want. Oh wait, we are at 140 feet above the ground.” Bolt sounded amused.

    When she was cornered, feeling desperate, there was a noise of something hitting the room’s wall from outside, followed by a long sound of metal scraping.

“Bolt! Look out!” Mittens warned him through wireless communication. But before he could react in time, Hybrid Archer form burst into the room through the room through a window.

    It appeared that the duo used Archer form’s monitor to track down the tracking device on the marmot’s shirt. Hybrid travelled from another tree to the room by shooting an arrow connected with a wire and sliding down the wire.

    Hybrid made a dramatic entrance before “Bolt! You’re under arrest.” Judy in the armored doe rabbit with fox features stated.

“What I’m charged with? Being a vigilante?” Bolt turned his attention to the green-tuniced armored mammal.

“Murder” She answered straightforwardly, “The cold blooded murderer like you who killed mammals is not a hero.” clenching the fists.

    Bolt subsequently laughed. “How ironic~”

    Knowing the wolf infuriated the doe, “Surrender and let us arrest you. We gotta have a long talk.” the tod took control of the body.

“What makes you think I will?” Bolt placed his paws on his waist. “Cuz last time I checked, I beat you twice.” He raised left paw, making a v-sign.

    Meanwhile, the marmot was so petrified that she rendered motionless.

“I didn’t smell it.”

    Bolt tilted his head, slightly confused by Judy’s words.

“When the tail spikes pierced through you, I smelled no blood…”

    At that time, with the enhanced senses, the united duo detected only the scent of metal and oil from the silver wolf.

“You are just a machine, aren’t you?” Judy inquired.

“... If so, what you gonna do?” Bolt came back with a question.

    Even though Hybrid’s real eyes behind amethyst headlights were not visible, he sensed the determined stare from the armored mammal.

“I won’t hesitate anymore.” She twisted forth the maroon motorcycle handle sticking out on the right side of Midnidriver. “FORM SHIFT-POLICE”

    The purple fog, released from the belt-like morpher and armor’s gaps, spread all over. Bolt was unable to find the doe rabbit figure under the thick fog.

    Following that MidniDriver’s core shone through the purple mist, the red flamingo armored mammal in Judy’s police field uniform, Hybrid Police form, leapt off the ground to the silver wolf quickly. “ACTIVATE” After summoning long-chained handcuffs, Hybrid wrapped the chain around Bolt’s upper arms up to his neck while turning a somersault in the air over the taller mammal, then stepped on his back, binding and strangling him.

“Run for your life!” Judy ordered the marmot. She therefore skedaddled out the room through the front door, leaving the door open, running down a giant tree branch as Bolt was trying to shake Hybrid off, turning around swiftly.

    The duo expected that they could capture the marmot later since the tracking device is still attached to her.

“Despite knowing I’m a machine, why do you bother putting me to sleep by choking as if I’m a normal mammal?” He, talking normally like he was not suffering from suffocation or pain at all, faced the open door, “Electro blast” uttering calmly.

Electric sparks came out of the solar panels on his chest and gathering into a concentrated light sphere.

    The energy ball was discharged as straight as an arrow, penetrating through the chain across Bolt’s chest, flying out the room through the door and hitting the fleeing yellow bellied marmot.

    Hybrid, loosening the grip, the handcuffs gradually fading away, watched the electrocuted marmot dying instantaneously before she fell off the tree.

“There goes my today quota.” Bolt reached back and grabbed Hybrid’s arm before throwing Hybrid out the left open door. The united duo was dashed against the branch, clinging to the tree bark.

    He then rushed out the room, “So long, fellas~” nearing to kick Hybrid off the branch.

    When Hybrid tumbled down, “ACTIVATE” the duo summoned new handcuffs and tied a chain to one of Bolt’s legs, dragging him down with them.

    During the time that the red flamingo armored mammal together with the silver chrome wolf was plummeting through leaves, he “Volt strike!”, a knifepaw glowing, made an effort to cut the chain but it was not effective.

    Bolt was about to try his Electro Blast attack. However, he recollected that he had already used his maximum one per day attack. Consequently, he could not break the chain.

    Hybrid “ACTIVATE” called upon a black AutoMag decorated with a purple cylinder-like extra part and an auburn grip. After spinning the cylinder, the fire sparks flying out, a bright tiny bomb was fired from a muzzle of a gun.

    Bolt dodged the bomb shot at him in mid air but it exploded behind him, sending electromagnetic pulses to his body. An explosion force accordingly blew them to drop faster.

    Following that, Hybrid yanked the chain, tossing the silver wolf to a roofless wide skybridge between trees. A weight of the larger mammal pulled the armored mammal along. Bolt fell face down on the bridge, whereas Hybrid landed heroically.

    The duo got the idea of using electromagnetic pulse weapon against the silver chrome wolf owing to him being a machine that obviously operated with electricity. They hoped that his power grid would be shut down.

    The handcuffs vanishing as they wished, the duo as Hybrid went toward the lying prone wolf, bending over to check on him.

    Out of the blue, Bolt’s backfist struck Hybrid on a side of the face. A blow sent the armored doe rabbit with a fox tail spinning around in the air and falling back on the bridge away from the getting up wolf.

“Bolt! Do you copy?” Mittens contacted Bolt by wireless communication system.

“Feeling somewhat dizzy.” He held onto the rail for support.

“You’d better thank me for installing electromagnetic shielding cages inside you.” She claimed.

    Actually, the reason the silver chrome wolf was still able to function was that when Mittens repaired Bolt after he got pierced by Hybrid’s tail spikes, she added the electromagnetic shielding cages, which can reduce the coupling of radio waves, electromagnetic fields and electrostatic fields, into him in order to protect the mechanical canine from EMP attack.

    Subsequently, Nick in Judy’s body sat up and shot many bullets in a mere few seconds at Bolt with the thought of protecting her.

“Double accel” Bolt uttered calmly. His processing system ran faster, which made him visually perceive the bullets coming toward him slower. He bounded, swayed and ducked a couple of times, avoiding every bullet.

    From Bolt’s perspective, he was just moving a little bit hastily. Whereas, the united duo saw him dodge like greased lightning. Next thing they knew was that he had already come close to them unawares.

“I can’t let you arrest me.” Drawing his right fist back, “Sorry not sorry~” Bolt threw a punch at Hybrid.

    Twisting the handle forth once “FORM SHIFT-HUSTLER”, Hybrid rolled backwards, evading from the punch, while the mist was being released from the belt-like device as well as armor’s gaps.

    After changing into Hybrid Hustler form, “Why did you target those mammals? What are you up to?” Judy asked Bolt.

“Sorry again~ Can’t tell that classified information.”

“What’s up with those weird Savages? You know something, don’t you?” Nick asked him too, remembering the monsters with unusual behavior they had fought lately. He believed the wolf knew something they did not.

“Yes, I do but I’m not gonna tell you.” His tone grew serious to some extent.

“If that’s so, we’ll make you spit it out by force.” Judy hit the syringe “ACTIVATE” before Hybrid disappeared into thin air right in front of Bolt.

“I don’t have to accelerate to see...” The wolf said idly.

    When Hybrid popped up a step behind him, “...where you would appear.” he turned back swiftly to face the armored mammal, leaning down and launching a right punch.

    Nick pressed the syringe “ACTIVATE”, activating Hybrid’s instantaneous movement to avoid his punch at the last second.

    However, “Accel” Bolt with accelerated processing system noticed that Hybrid teleported to the right side next to him, so he leaned more to the point he was about to fall, paws on the surface of the bridge, then twisted his body and launched the left leg while spinning.

    He reverse roundhouse kicked the armored mammal rapidly. His kicking heel struck Hybrid’s shoulder.

    The red flamingo armored doe rabbit body moved through air before falling hard.

    Right after activating the instant transmission ability, Hybrid’s physical power drops briefly, causing Hybrid Hustler form to be significantly more vulnerable than usual. As a result, the united duo respond slower and receive more damage.

“Looks like he can keep up with us.” Nick supposed.

    Hybrid tried to get up. At the same time, Bolt, getting into a fighting stance, stayed on guard, looking for a chance to leave without being chased.

“In that case, we gotta push the limits.” Judy pressed the syringe “ACTIVATE”.

    Hybrid teleported to front of Bolt up-close at eye level. Bolt then speedily elbow struck but Hybrid, pushing the syringe “ACTIVATE”, disappeared first.

“It’s useless!” Bolt, still accelerated, turned behind, where Hybrid appeared. He rapidly back kicked Hybrid pressing the syringe again “ACTIVATE”. However, he missed since Hybrid disappeared again.

    Immediately afterwards, Bolt sensed the back of his head got hit, for Hybrid teleported to dropkick him by surprise.

    As Hybrid “ACTIVATE” teleported again, Bolt was butterfy-kicked in the side of his face, “ACTIVATE”, scratched on his right thigh by Hybrid’s left claw, “ACTIVATE”, and uppercut on his chin.

“ACTIVATE” “ACTIVATE” “ACTIVATE”, Hybrid teleported over and over again to attack Bolt in every direction possible, not give him a second to respond. Speaking of a response, neither did the duo. They did not react to the surroundings at all, just keeping on activating instantaneous movement ability and attacking.

    Shortly, after “ACTIVATE” another teleportation, Hybrid struck Bolt’s middle with a straight punch but it turned out that the punch was too weak. The effect of persistently using the ability began to take a toll. Judy’s body was becoming drained.

    Bolt, using this opportunity, threw a counter-punch.

    Fortunately, there came a blessing in disguise. The worn out armored mammal collapsed, knees on the bridge’s surface, thereby avoiding the blow from the silver wolf.

    When Bolt was about to attack once more, Nick, seeing the situation dangerous, “ACTIVATE” teleported away as an escape.

    Since Hybrid had already left, Bolt “Switch off” uttered thankfully. Following one quick flash of his silver body, he turned back to his alaskan tundra wolf disguise in the black leather jacket.

“How’s everything?” Mittens contacted him.

    Bolt rolled his shoulders leisurely, switching right and left repeatedly, to examine his physical condition. “I’m okay. In fact, it’s nice to blow off some steam~” He replied. “Have you picked up it in the warehouse yet?”

“If you’re talking about the Savage for sale, yes, Rhino already has. By the way, what about the dealer?” She referred to the female yellow-bellied marmot.

“I killed her...” He looked back to the moment when he fired the electrical energy ball at her.

“You did what!? We haven’t interrogated her yet!” The wildcat shouted.

“It was the best solution back then. I mean, our work would be troublesome if she got caught by the police. Am I right?”

“Mhm” She agreed with him because he brought up a good point.

“It’ll be fine~ There are more than one dealer anyway~” Bolt the wolf strolled down the bridge.

.. ... / .... . / .--- ..- ... - / -- .- -.-. .... .. -. .

    On the ground of Rainforest District, Hybrid staggered to an alleyway, where Nick’s body was hiding. The unconscious red fox cop was sitting on the floor with his head low, legs stretched out and back against the wall of the building.

    Hybrid subsequently flopped next to Nick, sprawling in almost the same manner as him.

    Judy pulled the syringe to detransform. Next, blood was drawn and then teleported to Nick’s syringe. Hybrid’s suit of armor emitted purple steam before it vanished. Accordingly, Her body along with police uniform clothes were back to normal. If truth be told, Judy was still suffering from extreme tiredness.

As Nick’s consciousness returned to him, he woke up fatigued like always after detransformation.

“Are you alright?” Speaking with a shaky voice, Nick reached his quivering paw to his partner next to him.

    She leaned towards him. Her head tapped his chest.

    While he was feeling confused of her action, all at once his weariness was gone. When he looked down, he saw that she pressed his syringe to inject blood into him.

Judy tilted her head back and gave Nick a smile, a tired one.

“We need to head back before anyone suspects where we have been. No way I’ll let you whine that you’re tired or whatever.” She struggled to stand up, “Hurry up, you slacker” making a joke of him.

    Nick followed Judy as she tottered slowly to their police cruiser parking nearby. She was then going to fall back but luckily, he caught her in times.

“It seems I’m tired more than I thought.” She laughed tiredly.

“Judy...” Nick gave her a support, leading her to a passenger’s seat of the car.

Shortly after he lifted her into the car, she fell asleep on the seat.

While Nick was walking around to the driver seat, he clutched his rumbling stomach with his right paw, left paw covering his watery mouth. Without knowing the reason why, hunger was driving him insane. He had never been this hungry in his life as images of his precious doe rabbit friend were projected in his mind...

Project 8

Course code and name: MSJ11343 Media Relations Project Name: Crisis Communication Plan (Group) Project Date: Summer 2020 Project Description: Our faculty assigned us a crisis communication plan and it was a group project. We had to work on a crisis communication plan with press release in the process on KFC. We chose this because they went through a crisis long time back. Project Justification: This project made me realized how strong a PR stunt can be and how important a crisis communication plan is for PR. I had to work in a team and I worked on the poster designing and helped press release writing.

Group’s name: British Accent Boy Communications Crisis Communication Plan   Overview

The crisis scenario we’re facing is as follows: KFC had to shut down more than half of its 900 outlets in the UK due to a shortage of chicken. Fans of KFC are understandably very upset about the incident. There has been severe backlash on multiple social media channels. The press has been having a field day with the news that a restaurant chain specializing in fried chicken, has run out of chicken. Mainstream media and social media are capitalizing on the irony of situation. This incident involving the large-scale shutdown occurred after KFC made the switch from their previous delivery company to DHL. According to DHL, the deliveries weren’t made properly due to operational issues on their end. Crisis communication to us is simply defined as the communication process through which we address a crisis scenario. To us, it’s taking the ethical approach in identifying what went wrong, analyzing the reactions from concerned audiences and devising a strategic communication plan to minimize damage and obtain the optimal results. Our crisis communication plan will be centered around accomplishing one task – to change the narrative, which in turn will work towards rebuilding KFC’s brand reputation with the concerned audience as well as developing consumer trust.

Purpose

As mentioned previously, the purpose of our crisis communication plan is to change the narrative. The crisis communication plan has been devised with the clear goal of placating disgruntled consumers and earning back their trust. We’ll be utilizing the media’s current stance towards KFC and the backlash the brand is facing. The goal will be to have KFC laugh alongside the media and the consumers at the no-chicken situation, instead of being laughed at. This will be accomplished through a sincere apology to the concerned stake holders and humorous self-depreciating posts (mostly memes) through strategic media channels. All the while we will be constantly pushing the idea that KFC is standing firm in its promise to ensure quality above all, and will maintain absolute transparency in regards to any development in the coming weeks. In addition, the concerned stakeholders will be assured that such an event will not occur again.

Objectives The objectives of the crisis communication plan are as follows: • Change the narrative. • Restore KFC’s brand image through the stipulation of quality above all and the brand’s dedication to its customers. • Regain primary audience’s trust and their faith in the brand through admittance of fault, and the dissemination of crisis messages specifically crafted for the primary audience. • Maintain transparency with concerned stakeholders in regards to the events that led to the crisis and measures being taken to ensure that such a crisis never occurs again. • Assess the crisis management efforts and devise a contingency plan in case of future crises.

Procedures The crisis communication plan sees the formation of two teams. Both teams will be in constant communication with each other, and will be under the purview of the Crisis Command Center Manager. One team will be dedicated to addressing the crisis through social media channels. This would involve creating and disseminating appropriate crisis messages, addressing inquiries and concerns of the consumers. The team will be conducting short term evaluations every three days and adapt to any changes that may occur. The other team will be dedicated to addressing the crisis through the press. The team will monitor members of the press and identify the channels through which the dissemination of the crisis message will have the greatest effect, as well as monitoring the attitudes of the members of the press towards KFC during this crisis. The team will also be involved in coaching the selected spokesperson on the stance KFC is to take and the specific message the plan calls for to be disseminated. The spokesperson will be taking a more formal approach in addressing the media, but will maintain the same transparency and promise of quality that KFC is known for. Lastly, selected members from both teams, alongside the Crisis Command Center Manager, will be in touch with DHL’s crisis communication team to ensure that both KFC and DHL are taking a non-conflicting stance, if not a similar one.

Response The target audience range from the young to young adults. This demographic is characterized to be laid-back, hip and trendy. The socio-economic status of the target audience ranges from lower-middle to upper-middle class. Given the nature of this audience, the crisis communication plan calls for a more informal and laid-back crisis message to be disseminated. The channels we’ll be employing to reach the target audience are as follows: • Social Media: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and Reddit. • News Outlets: BBC News, The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Independent, Daily Mirror, Daily Express. • Events: Press conference to be held at the Hilton London Olympia in Kensington, London on 21st February, 28. In addition, other speaking opportunities will be explored. As we’ve previously established, the KFC spokesperson will formally address the crisis – remaining fully transparent and they will admit that KFC was at fault here, and that every measure is being taken to rectify the current situation. They’ll go on to reaffirm that KFC values quality above all and every step is being taken to ensure that such an event never occurs again.

Crisis Scenarios: 14 Point Checklist and Takeaways I. Yes, we understand what has happened. A crisis situation developed, when due to operational problems that DHL faced, delivery of raw materials to KFC outlets all over UK were interrupted and/or incomplete. Due to the lack of chicken, over half the KFC outlets in the UK had to be temporarily closed, which left consumers frustrated as they were unable to get their fried chicken fix. Moreover, the press is also taking advantage of the irony of the situation. II. Yes, everyone on the crisis team has been made aware of the crisis situation and have already been assigned to their respective teams. III. Yes, we’ve prepared a holding statement: “Due to problems we’re facing with the delivery of raw materials to the KFC branches we’ve decided to close the branches temporarily. We value quality above all, so we don’t believe it fair to keep a branch open when we’re unable to serve what we’re known for. We’re doing our absolute best to ensure that we’re able to reopen the branches at the earliest possible time. We’ll keep you updated of any developments.” IV. Yes, we are logging media interest. We are keeping track of all the positive and negative press we’re getting on print media, digital news media and social media. In addition, we’re keeping track of all the branches that are generating the most amount of interest, and furthering our recommendations to KFC management, to focus on reopening those branches first. V. Yes, DHL is involved in this crisis. Our crisis management teams are already in touch with their communications personnel, and we’re already working towards formulating a joint statement addressing the cause of the crisis. VI. Yes, we are ensuring a free flow of information. We are constantly in communication with members of the press and consumer base. We are keeping to the plan by being absolutely transparent and honest in addressing our customers. The stakeholders are being kept up to date on any new development. VII. Through the crisis communication plan, we’re showing that KFC cares about delivering quality to its customers. In addition, we’ve recommended for every franchise outlet to pay keep paying the employee wages during this time of closure, and the main branches are already doing so. In admitting KFC is at fault, the brand is showing responsibility towards its stakeholders, and the transparency we’re employing at every stage only further amplifies that. VIII. Yes, for our spokesperson we’ve chosen Jenny Packwood, Head of Brand Engagement at KFC UK and Ireland. IX. Yes, we believe a local spokesperson will greatly aid our cause. We’re currently identifying influential locals who we’ll be looking to recruit. X. The crisis blew up on all social media platforms. This ranges from Facebook statuses complaining about closed outlets to YouTubers filming videos about the situation. However, the most responses we’re seeing are on twitter, divided between frustrated customers and others who are enjoying the irony of the situation. #ChikenGate started trending on twitter as well. The crisis story was hitting full speed on Reddit, with 10,000 upvotes on one of the first post about it. It was even reported that police are asking people to stop calling to report the missing chicken. Yes, we are monitoring it and, in the short term, we are trying to reach out and address concerns that go viral. For the long term, we’re sending recommendations to KFC as to which branches opening up would aid the most with public opinion. XI. There will be a press conference held at the Hilton London Olympia in Kensington, London at 11:30 am on 21st February, 2018. XII. Yes, we are not only having people monitor and reply on social media pages 24/7, we’ve also opened up a 24/7 hotline. XIII. Internal communication is vital during a crisis like this. Three members of the crisis management team have been assigned to make sure there’s a clear flow of communication between every branch of KFC and the headquarters right now. XIV. Most importantly, we’ve learned that KFC requires an airtight contingency plan in case of a crisis. We’ve made recommendations to KFC to utilize multiple delivery options in the future. Stakeholder opinion can make or break a brand and as such the brand needs to be able to hold itself accountable to them, while maintaining honesty and transparency.

2. Statements and Communications

Letter to the Stakeholders:

This letter to the stakeholders will be published on social media platforms and will be placed as ad on select newspapers:

Dear All,

We were so close, how’ve we drifted so far apart? Is chicken the only thing you saw in us?! Don’t answer that. Jokes aside, we understand how frustrated you guys are right now; we’re right there with you. The current state of things is far from ideal. Trust us when we say, we’re doing absolutely everything in our power to make sure things go back to normal ASAP.

Our thanks go out to all the KFC team members, and our partners for working tirelessly to guide us out of this situation. With their efforts we are steadily opening up outlets again, so you’ll soon be able to satisfy that fried chicken craving.

Our sincerest gratitude for staying with us. We’re truly sorry.

Yours truly, The KFC UK Family   Press Release:

KFC: Addressing the Chicken Shortage and Store Closures

21st February, 2018: KFC spokesperson, Jenny Packwood, addressed the chicken shortage and store closures during a press conference that took place today at 11:30 am, at the Hilton London Olympia in Kensington, London.

As of the 17th of February, KFC outlets in the UK ran out of fried chicken, leading to the closure of over 600 outlets. This happened as a result of operational problems faced by DHL, KFC’s new delivery partner. These problems arose when trying to get fresh chicken to over 900 outlets all over the UK. Jenny said, “We believe in delivering quality at KFC, and so opening our outlets without fresh chicken was never really an option for us”. She went on to say that KFC takes responsibility for the situation right now and asks that the customers of KFC bear with the situation a bit longer, “The amazing people working with KFC, and our partners, are working tirelessly to make sure the outlets open as soon as possible. We’d like to thank them for all they’ve done and thank our beloved customers as well for their understanding and patience”.

The conference ended with a Q/A session where Jenny Packwood addressed questions from members of the press. When asked as to the timeline for reopening of the KFC outlets, she answered, “Opening the outlets are the top priority right now, and we’re already well on our way with more and more outlets open every day. We hope to have them all open and serving delicious fried chicken very soon”.

Caption: We’ll own up to it, this is absolutely on us. Believe us when we say that nothing causes us more misery than the knowledge that we can’t help you guys get your fried chicken fix.

We’re working tirelessly to make sure we have fresh chicken available ASAP. In fact, we have already started opening up KFC outlets all over UK!

Just hang on a little longer, we’re almost there. #ChickenGate #FreeTheChicken #OutletsOpening #KFC Learning and outcomes (Self-reflection): I have learned what exactly is a crisis communication plan and how this can come useful in my future career. I have improved my writing skills on press release and improved my poster making skill. I improved my teamwork skill as well.

[mute-call]

"This wouldn't even really be a crime, I mean, it's--it's for a good cause, so--"

His shoulders are hunched as he walks with her, painfully aware of just how conspicuous the two of them are. She's doing acrobatics, for god's sake. Anyone could see them, but he supposes she's not exactly known for her subtlety.

"I saw you on the news once. There were these two girls, and you saved them from a real creep. I think the reporter tried to spin it as one of Batman's, but everyone knew it was you who helped them out. I know you're a good person, and... look. Children keep going missing, Dr. Quinn. I thought they were just being selected for some of our new programs, but I've... heard things. I'm starting to think that Mr. Afton is a really, really bad man. It's not like I'm asking you to kill him or anything, like I said, this won't be hard at all! Just, uh, incentivize him to turn himself in. Piece of cake, right?"

The right stuff?

"I can't... pay you, exactly, if that's what you mean...? I was hoping you might, um." He coughs, mumbling the rest of his sentence at a near-inaudible level: "Iwashopingyoumight do this pro bono."

@mute-call: “Dr. Quinn, this doesn't have to be hard.” // for Harley, potentially with my supers verse?

" Why not? " the doctor in question asks, walking on her hands as she easily keeps pace with the other, " It's a lot you're askin' for, buddy. I don't do crime no more. " she says, quickly flipping back to her feet, " But if ya got the right stuff, I might be interested~! "

AS SAID BY COMMANDER SHEPARD || accepting!

[mute-call]

verse information: v; this call may be monitored for quality assurance : Superpowered AU 1.

made in conjunction with the incredible @hcmelndr !!!

(this is ONE au for steven to be in a setting involving superheroes / villains. i'm also in the process of getting up details for something centered more specifically in DC / where steven is a civilian, so if that works better for your muse just lmk!)

NAME: Wiretap / "Phone Guy" / Steven Bell

POWERS/ABILITIES: courtesy of britt!! steve is a very, very good listener :) . as in, he's very good at listening in to any call, anywhere, at any time.

to a far lesser extent, bell has limited luck-based abilities. in short, this means that he's just a little better at getting out of scrapes than the average person

since this verse was first made for "the boys," steve's typically working at the company responsible for imbuing him with powers (vought).

as a fairly useful asset to them, he's kept secret even from other supers in the organization. as far as most people are aware, he's just some guy who works in internal security

in public, steven likes to wear headphones or a security-style earpiece; it means that when he's zoning out listening in on outer communications, he appears to be getting a call on his own headset

in private, steve has a small collection of disconnected / nonworking vintage phones that he likes to use as physical props to narrow his focus

ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS: obviously, there are some big fucking issues with someone who's a living wiretap. again, since this verse was made for a darker source material, steven DOES use his abilities for personal reasons along with invading others' privacy for the benefit of the company for which he works. if this is an issue / doesn't fit as well with lighter sources, we can work that out no problem!

thanks!

[mute-call]

Steven's not usually the one who gets sent out in person to these sorts of things, and for good reason; he can't fight, he can't charm his way out of danger, and he's a significant enough asset that he's been promoted past "expendable" into the realm of "not yet outlived his usefulness." Afton Robotics never would have ordered him to come out here alone, but he's not here on their behalf tonight. He's here for himself.

Bell lets out a small, startled squeak at the sudden presence in front of him. She's precisely the person he's come here to find, but he hadn't expected her to locate him quite so quickly.

"Wait, wait, wait!" he says in a rush, holding his hands palm-out to show that he's unarmed and exceptionally nonthreatening. She hasn't made a move to escort his corpse off the premises yet, which is a very good sign, but the longer he takes to get to the point, the less likely she is to remain cordial.

"I'm not here for your current clients, I'm here for you! ...not, uh, not to hurt you, that's not what I meant-- I, um, I'm trying to say that I want to hire you!"

And, yes, maybe crashing her current gig isn't the most traditional way of approaching a potential business partner, but she's proven to be frustratingly elusive. ...a good quality in an assassin, but not when he needs to find her in person to make sure any potential dealings between them go unobserved by his own employees.

"I heard you'd be here, so I just thought... hold on. You are Hemlock, right? It would be really embarrassing if I got the wrong person after all that. Heh."

@mute-call started following you!

When one hears the word 'assassin', what image does the term tend to conjure? One might think of a cloak and dagger, slipping through the night unseen. Another, of corpses strewn around a lone figure, blood and sinews staining the walls around. Both good choices, both quite incorrect for this particular situation.

Tonight, River acts as a bodyguard, hired by a band of ne'er-do-wells requiring protection whilst they meet for their monthly brouhaha. Perfectly straightforward. Perfectly dull. Perfectly good money.

But sometimes someone shows-up to make things interesting... Like right now. She's been watching close, a red-clad panther stalking the roof length just above, however, Mr. Newcomer doesn't appear to be exiting this maze of alleyways, so... Intentional or not, she supposed it was time to say 'hello', before he happened-upon her current retainers. Dropping from the roof, River utilizes the edged gothic architecture to make her way down, landing to bar his way; and slowly, she draws to full height.

"Sorry dear, I'm afraid this little party is 'invitation' only." Shifting her weight to one foot, she gestures at him with her index, "...And you don't look like you've got one of those."

Installation FAQ on macOS Platform

This topic provides answers for the following frequently asked questions about installing JDK on macOS computers.

1. How do I find out which version of Java is the system default?

When you run a Java application from the command line, it uses the default JDK. If you do not develop Java applications, then you do not need to worry about this. See Determining the Default JDK Version on macOS.

2. How do I uninstall Java?

See Uninstalling the JDK on macOS.

3. After installing Java for macOS 2012-006, can I continue to use Apple's Java 6 alongside the macOS JDK for Java 13?

If you want to continue to develop with Java 6 using command-line, then you can modify the startup script for your favorite command environment. For bash, use this:

$ export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 13`

Some applications use /usr/bin/java to call Java. After installing Java for macOS 2012-006, /usr/bin/java will find the newest JDK installed, and will use that for all of the Java-related command-line tools in /usr/bin. You may need to modify those applications to find Java 6, or contact the developer for a newer version of the application.

4. What happened to the Java Preferences app in Application Utilities?

The Java Preferences app was part of the Apple Java installation and is not used by Oracle Java. Therefore, macOS releases from Apple that do not include Apple Java will not include Java Preferences.

Each build iteration is accompanied by analyzing and testing, ergo issues can be discovered early and mended. Any anticipation mismatches may likewise be handled efficiently.

Blocks Of An Agile Scrum

There are lots of people and procedures which compose a scrum. Here's just a fast summary of what that's required to execute the strategy that is nimble.

It's essential that certain person never assumes the duty of vendor and scrum master at precisely exactly the exact same moment. There must be an equilibrium between both functions.

Create Product Backlog

The merchandise backlog may comprise bugs, enhancements, risks, anything and issues regarding the merchandise. Functional and non functional requirements ought to be added into the back log.

{CONT. || @red-hemlock}

Steven has a bad habit of expecting things to just work out. In his defense, they usually do; he's not sure whether it's a side-effect of his abilities, or just how the world works, but he's almost always capable of weaseling his way out of any difficult situation in which he might find himself. ...although, granted, he doesn't find himself in danger very often.

But this feels different. Maybe it's because he has someone else to worry about in addition to himself, or maybe it's because he's crossed the most powerful person he knows, but Bell's... scared. Terrified, even.

Part of him thinks the two of them should just give up. He'll beg for Mr. Afton's forgiveness, show him that he's learned his lesson, and swear that he didn't tell Hemlock a thing. It won't work, but Steven's been nothing but loyal and efficient until now, and maybe that will count for something. Maybe-- maybe everything will work out fine, and Hemlock will go back to her life, and he'll go back to his, and they'll both learn to ignore the horrors being committed right under their noses.

Another part of him is furious and desperate, as though he's been betrayed by the universe the one time he tries to do the right thing. William can't keep getting away with this, they have to do something--

But first, they have to make it out of here alive.

He tells himself to trust Hemlock. This is her job, her area of expertise. And if he's honest with himself, she probably isn't committed to her work enough to sacrifice herself for him, which means she's at least semi-confident that she can handle the crowd. This is what he's hired her for, and he'll be putting them both in more danger if he doesn't listen.

"Right. ...right. You'll do fine!"

He takes a step backwards, slightly embarrassed about his immediate reaction to all of this, and then turns to bolt. He makes it to the door without being hit, but when he half-closes it behind him, he pauses, peering through the crack at Hemlock and the sea of attackers. None of them is from the company's security division, of course-- it wouldn't do to risk sending people with whom Steven has built up friendly relationships-- and he hopes that means they're less than the best in their field.

He should leave, but he can't. He has to make sure his only ally in all of this is okay, and stay to provide some sort of help or distraction or second target if she isn't.

He can't afford to face this alone.
