okay, well today was fine overall. Up at 8:45 for court, I was a little concerned about juggling two cases in two courtrooms both set for 9 am, because I was stupid enough to put myself in that position, but things ended up working out, though in the opposite direction that I thought- I thought I could get the just me case done quickly and then go to the one with other parties present, but that one ended up pretty close to the front of the court call, so I told the coordinator at the other room to just stick me in a breakout room and I’d let them know when I’m good to go, so that worked out. I have multiple cases right now (one this morning and one I have up tomorrow) where the other side is filing a domestic relations (divorce, custody, etc.) case, which means the OP case gets consolidated with it, and I can no longer be their lawyer, and it’s been super fucking frustrating because apparently divorces are on the rise right now (can’t imagine why!!) and trying to find clients other legal aid counsel is getting increasingly difficult. the one I have up tomorrow I really did not want to lose (I’ll spare you the details, but it involves a young child and it’s BAD) and I had expressed as much to my boss, and it sounded like our family law department could jump on the case, which would mean I could probably stay on for the OP part of the case, so I sent the client an intake to fill out, but when I passed it on they basically just told me they weren’t taking anything and I just forwarded it to my boss like.....and she was confused about it because apparently they had spoken about keeping some cases going that were extreme, so she’s going to talk to them about it and see if we can work it out, but in the meantime the client should start looking for other potential divorce counsel (from legal aid, as she has no income and is living in a shelter right now), and since the cases are getting consolidated tomorrow it means I have to officially withdraw from the case, and I’m really just fucking mad about it, you guys know how I get revved up with cases involving kids and even though I haven’t been on it very long (probably about a month at this point) I feel very protective of the client being such a vulnerable position and assured her that I may have to tell the court I’m withdrawing, but I will not stop being her lawyer until we get another lawyer on the case, or our family law department is able to accept it. I’m just really irritated about the whole thing because this is not the first time it’s happened with a client I felt really attached to, and just having to give up the case without there being anything I can do about it is really fucking frustrating. And the client is super sweet and speaks some english, but when exchanging emails I’ve been putting them through google translate (she speaks “Amharic”) with the translated version on top and the english underneath it, and that usually helpful enough for her to be able to answer in english. It’s kind of fun, because they don’t use the same numerals we do, so it’s just totally different. but yeah, I have that going on tomorrow and I’m super pissed about it and just feel really bad because the last thing I want to do is to leave this poor woman with no lawyer in such a vulnerable situation and I’m totally committed to making sure that does not happen, even if some of that is not part of a traditional attorney role (as if I give a fuck). but anyway. that case today was fine and short, they’re going to file the DR case soon and hopefully find that client a DR lawyer too. ugh. then there was my other case with the judge who really likes me (hehe) but she’s caught up in this one thing she wants me to do to go to publication that isn’t normal so we got stuck up with that this morning which was frustrating but like I get it, she’s a new judge and I can’t expect her to memorize the entire statute right off the bat, and her intentions are good at least as far as wanting a default order to be enforced and not ignored because of lack of service (though I spoke with my boss after and it didn’t sound like this would even help that. so I have to figure out what to do there. after court I worked on the leftover clinic cases from yesterday, getting everything ready to be filed. Apparently the courthouse is in a somewhat chaotic situation because apparently one of the judges tested positive for covid, and possibly other staff members who worked in screening (meaning they see a LOT of people) as well, so like half of the staff is in quarantine and not at the courthouse, so I understand it’s pretty chaotic there at the moment. my own case did get processed pretty quickly though, it was a pretty strong case so I wasn’t really worried, and the hearing went fine, though at the end the judge asked if we could go back to using the short forms we switched over like last year to the updated ones that everyone else was also supposed to switch over to but hasn’t yet, and I had to awkwardly be like uhh that’s really not something I have any control of but she could speak with my boss I guess? I was running right into a staff meeting that started a few minutes before we finished up, and I did mention the judge’s comment, and apparently since we have a new clerk of court in cook county she’s apparently been pushing to use the new forms when the old clerk was pretty against doing so, so I think the new one is ruffling some feathers about it, but oh well. staff meeting was fine, once we finished I stayed on the line with my boss for our monthly check in which is kind of new and we had to reschedule like 5 times haha. the introductory stuff was kind of awkward and just some stuff that I feel like I didn’t entirely grasp but I think the jist of it is mostly just to ask for clarification if unsure of some things. but after that we spoke about case questions I had, which ended up being really helpful on a lot of cases going forward, so I was glad we had that taken care of. the rest of the afternoon was chill, at some point I was looking at fb and saw that the family that lives in the apartment below me, the dad had posted that his wife was pregnant with their fourth child, and she had gone into labor this morning two months early, and they lost the baby 2 hours after she was born. Obviously this is such a shock and trauma, and the dad had been one of the first people to reach out after I lost my dad, and I really appreciated it, so I messaged him saying how sorry I was and offered to bring them a meal, so I’m going to make them some broccoli mac and cheese (apparently their kids really like broccoli for some reason) for Friday night. He was saying how hard it was to just even get through the day, and I said if I had learned anything over the past year, it’s that God is truly near to the brokenhearted, and that I would be praying for them and pass it along to my family to pray as well. He’s a religious studies of some sort professor at one of the catholic colleges up here, and we’re always liking each other’s facebook posts about religion, which is nice. after that though and when I was finished with work I had to go over to the hospital/med center at 5:30 for two MRIs the neurologist wanted me to get (even though we’re fairly sure it’s not really a physical issue), but at 5 the monsta x airbnb thing went live for tickets but there was like 20 of them for who knows how many fans were trying to get them (like, probably in the thousands), and I refreshed the page as soon as hit 5, but when it loaded a second later it was already sold out, so I don’t even know what to make of that. Oh well. After that I ubered over to the med center and received instructions to get to the right place, which was nice that I didn’t end up getting horribly lost or anything lol. Everything was pretty straightforward, they had a list of things you have to check off, and I had to check off that I have a metal plate in my wrist after breaking that in two places and it needing to be repaired, so I listed that, but it was the only thing. Not long afterwards they brought me back to the actual machine, of course my legs were being super shaky and uncooperative trying to get on the thing and the tech was getting concerned haha and I felt bad but oh well. the procedure was fine, just chilled out and tried to stay still, which I was able to do for the most part. after that I was free to leave, so I ubered back home at like 6:20, with our first small group meeting starting at 6:45, I was concerned I was going to be late if the doctors took too long, so I was glad I made it on time. It was a pretty good session, lots of laughs which was nice but also some very deep talk, going in I wasn’t totally sure if I would like it, but I actually do really like it so I’m excited to continue with that. the group is actually called “Swipe right for Jesus” which I really just think is too funny lol. after the group ended, I watched last week’s episode of Chicago Fire that I had missed as they didn’t have a new episode today, then watched the season premiere of The Resident, which was very enjoyable. once that was done I just switched over to the news for a bit and then Jimmy Kimmel, and decided to turn it off around 11 and start getting ready for bed, and now it’s of course just past 1:30 am because time doesn’t actually exist, but I do really need to get to sleep now, so I’m going to do that. Goodnight my friends. Hope your week is treating you well.

I haven’t written in a while. I have had some repeat doggy clients so I wanted to wait for a new one to write about.

OMG, I just had a my tiniest guest today. Diego is a 10 week old, 3lb Beagle/Chihuahua mix. This was his first visit and he did very well. I assumed that he would play for an hour and sleep for an hour and I was correct. I took him out every 60-90 mins to go potty, which he did. All and all, a great first visit. I believe that he will be coming back, YAY!!

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Like I said, I have had some repeat clients….here they are…

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Also, A friend and I went back to PA for a weekend in Sept. We joined my sister’s team, to walk and to raise money and awareness of Melanoma. It was fun and very successful. I am excited to say that my sister has had her 12th and final treatment and all looks good now. She is so strong. This is her story…..

My Melanoma Madness Family history: none Number of full skin checks I had through my life: zero Melanoma type: Acral Lentiginous (subungual) the most common in Asian, Hispanic and African American races. Of which I am not. This type of melanoma makes up less than 5% of all melanomas. Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer. Timeline: Years and years ago I got a mole on the cuticle line of my left big toe. It was fine. Appeared normal. I thought it odd to get a mole on my toe, but I was not concerned. Fast forward to sometime in late 2017-ish I notice I have what I think is a blood blister. It’s near or on or around the “mole”. So I google blood blister on toe. Because who googles toe cancer??? I go several months until having it looked at.

May 2018: I’m in my 3 month diabetes check appointment with my Doc and at the end of appointment, I ask him to look at my toe. He glances at it and tells me it’s ugly and I should cover it for a week and if it doesn’t improve I should go see a podiatrist. Ok!!! Sounds easy. So I do what he tells me and it seems to start to dry up so I don’t go to the podiatrist.

September 17th 2018: Ok, I give!!! Made an appointment with the podiatrist because it seemed to get worse again. I go in, sit down and show him my “blood blister”. Instantly he tells me it is a wart. Oh! I ask if warts oozed and bled. He shook his head and told me no and that he wanted to biopsy it to see what kind of wart it was so he knew what type of antibiotic he may need to prescribe. OUCH. That kind of hurt. But ok! The results will be in in 7-10 days. Thanks doc. So, because I’m impatient, I go buy a wart freezing kit and try to freeze the little bitch off. HOLY CRAP. OUCH IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. And it obviously wasn’t even worth the pain. Tic tock…. tic tock September 28th (10 business days later): I call the office to ask about results. I am told there are none. Sometimes these things could take up to a month they say. Of course, I argued that and said that the doctor told me 7 to 10 business days. They shrug and say they hope it’ll be in next week. HOPE?????? Mind you, I struggle with anxiety and unknown things are huge a trigger for me. Ok. Sigh.

October 5th 2018: Ring ring. Hi, this is Stephanie Heart. Calling to see if results are in. Nope. What the hell????? Ok. This is science. Deep breaths. October 17th 2018: Cell phone rings. I’m in middle of something and can’t answer my phone. Voice mail says: “ hello this message is for Dr. B…, this is so-and-so from the pathology lab in Maryland and I need to speak with you directly about one of your patient’s biopsies” UMMMMM….. what the hell? Now I’m freaked out. So of course I call back and leave a message. No response. Text— no response. Call doctors office and leave urgent message with answering service. Call doctors office again first thing in morning and start pushing. Hard. Turns out the initial abnormal results were in a couple weeks ago and lab was doing further testing. WHICH NOONE INFORMED ME OF. The lab certainly broke some rules by accidentally calling me directly. They say they will have doctor call me. 15 min later he does. Tells me same story. Says he is trying to get in touch with pathology lab and will get the results for me and I can pick them up in office tomorrow. Ok. Fine. Instantly google cancer on toe, because why else would a lab be trying to reach the doc?

October 18th (my cancerversary, I guess) I arrive at the office and go to desk and say I’m here to see the doctor about my results. They tell me he gave us this for you and hand me a sealed envelope. Um. Alright. I leave office and am in lobby. Remember, I’m impatient. So I open envelope while alone in the lobby. And all I see is MALIGNANT MELANOMA and I am alone. Frozen. Oh. Also a note with a referral to a dermatologist. That bastard let me read that alone. Ok. Now it’s a search and destroy mission. I immediately call this dermatologist and fax over results while I am on the phone. While scheduling the appointment with the receptionist, she asked me to hold on and out of nowhere this doctor gets on the phone. He tells me that he would gladly see me, however, he would be telling me immediately to get to a surgeon at Fox Chase Cancer Center and gave me the name. He told me that this was a deep tumor and it would have to be removed. Holy shit. This is serious. Like WAY serious. My fingers instantly started dialing the number to the doctor he referred me to. They were amazing on the phone while I cried and they got me set up for an appointment with the chief of surgery in less than a week. Begin massive anxiety attacks. Google. Bing. Explorer. Knowledge is power.

October 25th, 2018 Appointment with surgeon. The guy who saved my life. Tells me that the depth on the report puts me at a stage 2. Which means they remove it and then do a sentinel lymph node biopsy to check the nearest lymph node to see if it spread. But only 20% chance it would have. And then he tells me that to remove it, they have to amputate the top half of my big toe. Wait. WHAT??? Alligator tears begin flowing. Sends me on my way to schedule surgery.

November 2, 2018 Surgery day. Maybe after today I won’t have cancer anymore. Ativan on board I head to the hospital with my army. Long day of waiting and tests. Blood work. They do the injection for sentinel lymph node biopsy. Waiting and scans. Then it’s time to head back. I don’t remember any of it. Wake up. Foot is wrapped and I have a nerve block. They said they were sure they got clean margins. So as long as lymph node comes back clean, I would be cancer free! Remember only 20% chance of the lymph node being malignant. They send me home same day with healing instructions and tell me results will be in in 7-10 days. I’ve heard this before. Anxiety is in high overdrive. My family and friends took amazing care of me. But in the midst of this I told the boyfriend to take a hike. Zero empathy and he couldnt understand my fuss. It was only a toe. Not even a whole toe. It wasn’t like it was a boob or a lung. I’m sorry…. you’re out of my circle now. Piss off.

1 week later: Still no results. Tic tock. All I can think of is just getting back to work and I did. I work from home so was able to do some work and elevate.

About 12 days post op: Guess who is in the 20%???? Of course I am. Worst news I could have gotten. I now have stage 3 melanoma. Stage 3. Are you kidding me? You have to be. Now what? Time to have a PET scan of my entire body to see if it has spread anywhere. This would place me at stage 4. Thank goodness, it had not spread. I remain stage 3, but now I have to face a year of immunotherapy treatment with CT scans, skin checks, MRIs, ultrasounds and a slew of other tests every 3 months or so.

November 28 First meeting with medical oncologist. He details the plan of action to do everything we can to make sure the beast stays away. Melanoma is really sneaky and can just show up anytime anywhere. Sigh. A lifetime of anxiety. There is no cure. We set up the treatment plan.

December 5,2018 Treatment day. Lab work first to see if my body can handle it. Meet with oncologist again. Then head to the infusion room. Walk in and there are a ton of cancer patients in their chairs hooked up to IVs. Not gonna lie. It was scary and I couldn’t believe I was there. They begin the infusion after mixing the medicine. They have to wait for doc approval for this as they bill my insurance company $115,000 a month for this drug. Yes, the comma is in the right place. Infusion begins. And ends just as fast. Only about 30 min. And they send me home. Almost instantly, my entire body is hot and so itchy. A normal side effect. Any type of “itis” is. I’ll take that over chemo though. The itch continued for 2 months. My first 2 treatments.

Wash rinse repeat. I just completed my 6th of 12 treatments. I’ve had some scans and skin checks in between. So far…. I am FREE of cancer. We call this NED. No evidence of disease. And we celebrate this.

A few things I have learned: Not all melanoma comes from the sun, but most does. Mine didn’t. I am now susceptible to any and all skin cancers as well as having an increased risk of developing other types. I must be diligent with protecting myself from the sun. When in doubt, get it checked. Schedule yearly dermatology appointments. ADVOCATE for yourself for fast treatment and diagnosis. You are never too busy to take care of your health. In times of crisis you really learn who your true circle of people are. Mine is huge and I am truly blessed.

I am so thankful for the care I have received and continue to receive from everyone at Fox Chase Cancer Center. They literally have saved my life.

I still struggle with anxiety and depression and some pain and swelling. But I’m managing it by staying informed and positive and laughing at things. That’s how I deal. Gotta laugh. My side effects haven’t been horrible from treatment. I hope that my story can help at least one person to get help if needed. Early detection is KEY to surviving melanoma.

I am a melanoma warrior. A survivor. And I plan on keeping it that way.

GET CHECKED PEOPLE!!!

Car Insurance, including APR?

"Car Insurance, including APR?

So, im looking for car insurance and I found the cheapest one for me. 'A deposit of 70.00 payable by credit or debit card followed by 10 monthly instalments by Direct Debit of 55.90. Total payable is 629.00 including APR of 29.6%.' What does it mean including APR of 29.6% That I will have to pay an extra 29.6%. Its my 3rd year driving and I've never seen this before.

Do we qualify for medicaid?

Medicare for me & my boyfriend.? My boyfriend and I have an apartment of our own. I'm 19(next week), and he's 20(in August). I'm working at an insurance company, and I make about $1500/monthly. He's currently unemployed (he's looking for a job). I pay rent, all the bills, car insurance, and all the other little things. So i'm broke at the end of the month. He has a cyst in his chest (we're assuming). He went for a check up about a year ago, and the doc said it was a cyst. It's been getting bigger and worse, so we want to get it fixed. Since he lives with me, and I make enough for the both of us, will he qualify for medicaid? I WILL NOT be able to afford all the medical bills! Will both of us qualify? How will this be done? They will ask for paycheck stubs and rent papers and everything...right? We are also both in college, we applied for a Pell Grant this semester. If that helps any.

Car insurance questions!?!!? HELP! accident!?

Hey, three weeks ago, I got into a car accident and rear ended someone in the front with suv. I had a honda, and the insurance company declared it totaled and they are going to pay around 9k for the car. Since it was rear-end accident, insurance company held me for 100% at fault. The suv had broken/dented bumper and lower part of trunk lid dented (No broken lights or anything). I would say around few thousand dollars worth of damage. There were 3 people in the car and at the time they said they are all ok, and drove off. No police report was filed. When I called at night to get one of the guy's birthday, he said all three went to emergency, and had whiplash pain in neck area (which is understandable from rear-end accident). I had full coverage so I know my insurance comp. would pay their bills. The thing I am scared about is what if they sue me? I am from low-class family and a full time student on loans so I have no money or even a job. If they do, how much can they sue me for?""

I'm wondering what to charge per session, and how long a session should last. I've figured out that I can tutor any subject for levels K-8, along with HS level Biology and Chemistry. Alternatively, for levels K-6, I'm willing to offer general homework help. I have some experience - I tutored someone who was failing two to four hours per week last year in HS Chemistry, and she ended up passing the course, including her NYS Regents Exam, which many people failed. From what I've seen, tutors around here make anywhere from $10 to $40, at my level of education. Is $10-15 unreasonable for a general homework help session?

HICS JOIN THAT FLEET – HAVE TITANS TACKLED – WE ARE DREADBOMBING – GO GO GO

~~~ This was a broadcast from the_mittani to all at 2017-08-20 22:45:34.680221 EVE ~~~

A flurry of pings showed up Sunday afternoon, of which the one quoted above is merely a representation of what I was seeing. It looked like something interesting was going on and I happened to be sitting down at my computer at almost exactly the correct moment.

It isn’t as though there haven’t been any ops to go on. There have been plenty, and I have been out on some of them. But none of them seemed to pass the threshold of interesting, or at least interesting enough to write about. Do I need to write a post about another run into Tribute to reinforce another tower? We did dash across New Eden via a pair of Thera wormholes in order to catch some capital ships down in Wicked Creek, but the fact that we got there too late takes some of the edge/interest out of the tale. Without a fight the story becomes more about travel, indecipherable Scots accents, and the occasional person being dumb on coms.

Anyway, I digress. Coms were not an issue for this fleet op. Getting in and getting to the destination was laid out pretty simply. I was a couple of minutes behind the curve, so when I got online and in coms Asher was telling people to undock and warp to a titan to be bridged. At the far end of the bridge, targets were already being called. I just had to get there.

I was a bit worried about that. I wasn’t in Hakonen, I was in Jita. That put me a jump clone and a couple of session changes behind the fleet. EVE Online protects itself, in its way, but not letting players do some things with a delay. After jump cloning the session timer keeps you from doing a number of things, like swapping ships or joining a fleet for 10 seconds or so. It feels like forever when you are in a hurry, but I bit my lower lip and hummed as I watched the tiny white timer circle in the upper left hand corner finish its revolution so I could get in fleet. They I got into a Typhoon and undocked. I considered joining up in a Guardian again, but I was late, Asher was saying that more DPS was better, and some days just shooting things is all you want to do anyway.

As I was entering warp to get to the titan, Asher said on coms that people who were not in GSF, and who thus could not just wander through the POS shields to get to the titan, should warp to a planet, then warp to the target to avoid getting stuck. So I hit the POS shield and bounced off as I watched others stream past be, unobstructed by the defense barrier. It is at times like this that I wonder why I just don’t join KarmaFleet and enjoy the benefits of not being that guy stuck outside the bubble.

I was able to warp off to the planet indicated, then warped back to the titan at 10km, so as not to bump it. I landed and pulsed my propulsion module once to speed up the time it took to close the gap between me and the titan, whose bridge was already up and sending people on their way. I was almost there.

Need to be within 2,500m

And then the moment I was within range the bridge expired and disappeared.

Fortunately the plan was to just keep bridging people as they showed up, so in a few seconds the titan, a Leviathan, was again aglow with bridging goodness. I right clicked on it to select the destination to jump through to, and couldn’t find it for a second. I am so used to null sec designations for systems, being in all caps and sporting a hyphen, that an actual name name just blends into the list. I looked, didn’t see it, right clicked again, just in case I had done so too early for the name to draw, didn’t see it again, right clicked a third time and really looked, found it, and selected the destination.

As the titan bridged me through my next thought was, “Nalvula? Isn’t that literally next door to Hakonen?”

Yes, Nalvula is connected to Hakonen via a gate. But sometimes it is better to bridge people in even that short of a distance. Doing so landed us directly in the middle of the fight and avoided any sort of gate camp that might have been setup along the direct and obvious route.

Nalvula was a busy place when I landed.

A pile of titans and other capitals on grid

Hostile titans were on grid as advertised, though I am not sure I would go so far as to declare them “tackled.” That word implies we hold some sort of advantage and that we need to rush in and start shooting quickly lest the tackled titans escape. There were more than a few about as the system filled with people.

Local under 1,000 when I arrived

Furthermore, they seemed to be multiplying. Being within easy jump range of their super capital staging, PL/NC’s response to a titan being tackled was to log on more titans and pile on so they could use their big shiny toys to shoot things.

The glare of more ships jumping in

When I got into the system and on grid with the fight, I locked up the first target. We were going after hostile force auxiliaries. The Typhoons were putting their missiles on the one broadcast, being instructed to find and put their energy neutralizer on another with a name that starts with the same letter as you own name (“W” for Wilhelm in my case), and launching drones to try and pick off hostile fighters that were roving the battlefield.

Time dilation was about in full effect, not at 10% most of the time, but in the low teens as the battle went on. That is a fine distinction, 12% isn’t much faster than 10%, but when it hit 10%, the minimum speed, and the system is still stressed, odd things start to happen. So 12% can be immeasurably better than 10%, since 10% can have added problems.

Slowly I got targets locked, starting sending missiles and drones down range, and found a hostile Apostle whose pilot’s name started with a “V,” the closest letter I saw, and started motoring into range so I could put the energy neutralizer on him to drain his capacitor. Meanwhile, the ball of capital ships was lit by explosions and doomsday effects.

Explosions in the midst of the ball

The first Apostle we targeted went down, but a secondary target had already been broadcast, so we were on to that. I had managed to get within range of my neutralizer target only to realize he wasn’t a hostile but one of our cooperating, but not blue, allies, so I started sorting the list by name again to see who else I could go after.

The second target went down and we locked up and started in on a third. My drones were wiped out by somebody’s smart bombs, so I launched the remaining ones in my drone bay and sent them after some fighters further afield, away from the thick of the smart bombs. Ships were exploding almost constantly on the field, with doomsdays lancing out to strike the dreadnoughts that had jumped in with us. As somebody noted on coms, they aren’t called “suicide dreads” without reason.

At some point along the way a command destroyer activated its area effect microjump drive nearby, booshing some of us 100km away from the fight. Given the range the Typhoon missiles have, this didn’t stop any of us from blazing away with them. However, it put a damper on any thoughts of getting my energy neutralizer on a target. It also likely ensured I survived the battle, as I was now annoyingly far off for fighters to bother with.

As the third target went down for us, we stared on a fourth. But then the FC at the moment… Asher was not on grid with us… had us change to target Grath Telkin, the volitile CEO of Sniggardly, one of the main corporations in Pandemic Legion. He would be what one might call a “prestige target.” Everybody likes to shoot CEOs, FCs, and anybody mildly space famous.

And Grath seemed to be going down well enough when there was a hiccup and my client started behaving badly, then quit on me.

Client chooses this moment to die on me…

You can see that Grath was into deep structure by that point. He was going down for sure, but if I wasn’t online there was a good chance I wouldn’t be on the kill mail. What good is a prestige kill mail if you don’t get on it?

I shut the window and clicked the button on the launcher to get Wilhelm back online with one of those firm clicks you use to let the computer you mean business. Surprisingly the computer seemed to take notice of my emphasis for once and I was back in the game quickly. Meanwhile, tidi did me a favor.

In a normal, non-tidi battle, if you disconnect the game warps you off to a “safe” spot and leaves you there. When you log back in it then warps you back to where you were previously, which can be awkward if your fleet has moved on, and slow if you’re in tidi. But with tidi in full effect, the game never got around to warping me off, so I was back on and in my spot. I got back into fleet, targeted Grath, and had missiles down range in time to hit him to ensure I was on the kill mail.

Later I noticed that not only was I counted on the kill mail, but that I got in the final blow, which made it my kill mail, such that that matters.

The luck of the final blow

If you’re going to be on a prestige kill mail, then getting the final blow in is about all you can ask for I suppose. However, I did not notice that I had gotten that kill mail, or another one, for a while.

We were still shooting targets as they were broadcast and the hostiles were still jumping more and more capitals into the system as our dreadnoughts were scourged from the field. Afterwards Asher noted that for a dread bomb to work, you need enough dreads to kill the target, plut 3-4 more for every force auxiliary the enemy fields, and the enemy was pouring Apostles onto the field. That was why we were shooting and neuting them, but it wasn’t enough.

There was a titan far from the enemy pack at one point, and we turned out attentions towards it, hoping that it might get tackled since it was too far off for help from the Apostles. However he dropped off of targeting as he entered warp, signalling and end to that effort. And then the command to “take fleet warp” came over comes. With the enemy still dumping capitals on us, our own dreadnought force almost spend, and our Typhoons being chewed up by fighters, it was time to extract. We had done about as much damage as we were going to do. I let my Typhoon align towards the Hakonen gate, tried unsuccessfully to recall my drones, and took a few last screen shots as I warped away from the fight.

Local closing in on 1,300 as I warped off

It was about then that I noticed that I had gotten the kill mails, so I had to zoom in on my ship to find the kill marks, the other benefit you for getting in the final blow. When you’re in main fleet with a couple hundred people, getting the final blow is a rarity. These were the first two marks I received on a Typhoon.

Two more orange dots on a hull with many orange dots

On the long warp to the gate I thought the battle went pretty well… for me. Not a lot of dithering or travel before hand, just shooting stuff for a while when we got there, another vista of capitals and super capitals to survey, a short trip home, and a couple of kill mails. What more could I ask from a fleet op?

For the coalition however, the battle report was pretty grim.

There wasn’t an objective to win, save for “blow up ships,” which leaves us with the ISK war. That did not go our way at all. Even removing our two temporary allies from our loss column only drops the total by 10%. Still, a victory for Jita I suppose as both sides resupply from the nearby trade hub.

And a victory for those wanting some screen shots.

A pile of titans and other capitals on grid

The glare of more ships jumping in

Explosions and doomsday effects brewing

The view after I got booshed away from the fight

Explosions in the midst of the ball

Doomsday effect in the ball of caps

Dreads being hit or explodion

Aligning out past that stray titan

Saying goodbye to the fight

In warp for the gate

Covering the gate as we all form up to jump through

Foray into Nalvula HICS JOIN THAT FLEET - HAVE TITANS TACKLED - WE ARE DREADBOMBING - GO GO GO…

VRC: Jess

The air was cold, colder than she’d expected given the soft mesh covering her skin, form-fitting and constantly reminding her that she hadn’t made much progress in losing the 70 pounds her mother continually reminded her she needed to lose “before you get us thrown off Medicare because we won’t be able to afford your obesity rider!” Her mom was brutal when it came to health expenses, and they weren’t rich enough to afford the bariatric gene therapy that was rapidly making obesity a disease of the past for the wealthy.

Jess fidgeted in the VR harness, waiting for her appointed time in the game lobby. She was stupidly punctual for a 15 year old in a world where “making plans” had evaporated with the arrival of hyperloop public transportation and the iPhone Infinity. Shit, most of her friends didn’t know what they would be doing at any point in the next 3 years, aside from the hours they were required to be logged into school.

Nobody shows up to their virtual reality appointment five minutes early. She rolled her eyes though no one was around to see the gesture. It’s not a fucking job interview, forchristssake.

Though really, it was. And Jess was nervous - legit twitchy, as the kids would say. A successful run today would mean keeping this nice neoprene VR experience suit. And beginning to earn the VR rig she’d been dreaming of for more than a year: a suspended model that allowed full 360° motion on all three axes. True, real-to-life virtual reality. It was way beyond her price range, far beyond what she could dream to earn babysitting for the next few years even.

So Jess counted herself lucky, worried that she wouldn’t be good enough, and praised the gods that her host would see only her chipper avatar, a careful Photoshop construction of Jess’s self-imagination. Not the overweight, clumsy adolescent who had to lie to her mom just to get time in the Headset outside of school hours. Jess shied away from the trend toward copying the body of a celebrity and used her editing skills to mashup some photos of models and a couple Olympic athletes. She wanted a nod to her Latina heritage without having to haul around her actual hips, thighs, boobs, and butt.

God, there’s no telling what her mom would say if she saw Jess wearing the $200 VR suit. She hadn’t been able to come up with a convincing lie, so she simply added a full layer of clothing overtop the suit: jeans, socks, long-sleeved shirt, and hoodie, plus VR gloves and full VR helmet with integrated audio and microphone. Her mom knew about the helmet and gloves already; and since it was March, her outfit wouldn’t arouse suspicion. Jess noted again how thankful she was that the advanced suit was made to wick away sweat and keep the wearer comfortable, all while stimulating the skin to “feel” an outside temperature corresponding to the VR simulation. Pretty amazing, really.

The Commons was a little out of the way in VR social terms, despite its name, and Jess (here known as GlimmerDrax39, presenting as 19 years old and a waitress by trade) wandered around the simulated park, noting initials carved into virtual park benches that felt as real as the ones that used to be downtown on 16th Street, before the cops tore them out so the homeless couldn’t use them as beds overnight. Guess it was a good thing the early VR world architects were old enough to remember park benches and open areas with nostalgia and not the agoraphobic anxiety that tormented most Americans these days. Wide open spaces meant breathing a lot of toxic air, plus the possibility of identity theft, digital mugging, or straight-up terrorism. That was the story anyway, and her mom stuck to it. And had the gall to chide Jess for being overweight when she’d barely let her step foot outside the house.

A tall, fictionarlized blonde walked up to Jess, looking her up and down as if sizing up a piece of furniture. “GlimmerDraxx39, I presume?

“Yeah. Are you PolyM0rph?” Jess did her own appraisal, noting PolyM0rph’s size D breasts spilling out of a tight corset; her wasp waist sitting above a tight leather miniskirt and thigh-high boots, and waist-length blond hair. Everything about the avatar must’ve been ordered off the Playboy store and dressed in Vogue’s spring fashion line, down to the tight metal choker at her neck and heavy smoky eye shadow.

“Great. How’s the suit?” PolyM0rph sent over a file, too, as she spoke; it chimed in the upper corner of Jess’s vision.

“Oh my god, it’s amazing! Thank you so much. It means so much to have--” Jess meant to open the file but her attention poured into PolyM0rph’s eyes instead.

“I don’t care. You’re welcome. I’m glad you like it. I charged it to my dad’s account; he won’t notice the expense till his accountant sees it on the bill next month, and anything under $500 doesn’t hold his attention anyway. But I’m not kidding myself. You’re here for the rig.” She waved her hand to cut off Jess’s reply. “It’s fine. I know that’s why you’re here and it’s what I banked on, really. Because you’re going to have to earn your rig, Glimmer. Is that what people call you? Or Draxx?”

“Glim. And thanks for asking. What do I need to do for you? And is this legal? Like, I thought paying people to do stuff for you in VR was illegal?” Jess hated to bring this up. She felt like a little kid who had to beg her big sister to let her tag along and do ‘big girl’ stuff. But she had read enough about the meat market to know anyone who talked to strangers in VR was asking for it.

“Well, it depends on the ‘stuff,’ of course.” PolyM0rph shrugged as if this was standard conversation for her first encounters. “And how smart your VPN is, and how snoopy your ISP wants to be. I did a little background research on your tech setup, and you appear to have followed my instructions. I sent you a file a minute ago -- would you run it?”

Jess flicked her eyes and head upward in the universal gesture for menu access and grabbed the file with her hand, flipping it open in VR which triggered her computer to execute the program. Her VR headset blinked, flashed, and went dark, then immediately rebooted. “What the fuck?”

PolyM0rph’s voice came through her headset. “Sorry. I should have warned you. That’s my security sniffer, running in the background to make sure your encryption is active. And I wanted to check on your suit - it’s amazing how much you can do with it, if the suit is properly calibrated for your system. Your visual and controls will be back up in a sec.” And true to word, they were. Jess bit her lip inside her helmet while the visuals were still coming online, before PolyM0rph could read her emotions mapped onto the face of her avatar. Did PolyM0rph have control of her suit now? Her headset? Her Internet connection?

The dark visor sprung to life, prompting an involuntary exhalation from jess. She hadn’t realized she’d been holding her breath. PolyM0rph had shifted position to sit on one of the park benches, facing the afternoon sun. She’d draped her body for maximum effect: hips turned at an angle to accentuate her waist and boots, one shoulder dipped to offer a sight line into her cleavage, head thrown back in the warming sun. Jess was firmly heterosexual but found PolyM0rph’s body rather alluring. It nearly vibrated with physical appeal. Her skin tingled with a sensation of excitement.

Wait a minute. One. Fucking Minute. The tinging sensation hadn’t come from her stimulated pussy. Jess was a virgin, but she’d sneaked enough pornos to know what arousal felt like. No. It was the suit. The mesh suit had warmed in strategic locations, and the tingling feeling had probably been a very low-grade electric current.

“What the fuck, PolyM0rph! You just hacked my VR rig, and now you’re buzzing my vagina like some porn star?” For a moment, Jess wondered if the one or two other people hanging around in The Commons noticed the short Latina apparently yelling at the very attractive cover model on the park bench.

PolyM0rph’s grin was wicked. Sharp. Mischievous. “Glim, unless you’re asexual, and nothing about your browsing history suggests that you are, I expect you’ll find the next few months to be some of the most pleasurable you’ll ever encounter.” Jess’s cheeks burned on top while she blanched beneath. Good god, I’ve got to stop this. She’s already nabbed my browser history? Fuck. Fuckity fuck mcfuckerson. I’m a fucking idiot.

PolyM0rph went on, ignoring GlimmerDraxx39′s mediated signs of discomfort. “Look, you might as well sit down, calm down, and hear me out. I’m not here to rape you, mug you, rip you off, steal your identity, or hurt you.

“You came to me, remember? I posted in my CragsList notice that I wanted VR avatars to work for me, and that it would include voluntary co-op. Voluntary. I meant what I said. We’re going to do some amazing shit, and in the meantime you can watch all the porn you want and enjoy it as it was filmed to be. Okay? Or are you some kind of religious nut. Because if you are, I’d prefer you stop and strip off that suit right now before I don’t want to touch it again.” Her avatar gaze was piercing, and Jess found herself transfixed by the woman’s very presence. She sat in total silence as the explanation flowed around her and through her and into her.

“I’m hiring you to do jobs for me. Some of... most of ... those jobs will be crushingly dull. You’ll need to take items to other avatars. You’ll need to search the ‘net to find avatars that I don’t have time to track down. Mostly I just want you around as background radiation when I meet with clients. I run several businesses in the flesh and having a VR component to my client relationships makes me a lot more effective.

“As far as I’m concerned, you’re a VR secretary. That’s it. Think you can do that? I’m not going to steal your money or blackmail you. I don’t have to”

Jess stared at the woman, this goddess of sexuality and power. She wanted to touch her, to see if somehow PolyM0rph’s avatar was solid instead of pixels. The feeling in her crotch wasn’t generated by the suit this time. It was genuine.

The words came slowly, because Jess had to force them out through the rush of illicit fantasies that had just filled her mind. “I’m -- I’m glad -- I want to accept this job. Thank you.” Her flesh eyes teared up, and a beautiful teardrop rolled down the face of her avatar. “I am honored to work with you, PolyM0rph. I can’t wait to see what we’ll do together.”

“Agreed, Jess. I’ll be in touch” PolyM0rph flipped the L sign with her left hand, the common gesture for goodbye which also triggered someone’s exit from a VR session.

Jess froze. She wanted me to remember that she knows exactly who I am.
