I was wrong about the Hydra. Here's my apology shitpost.

Next up someone is going to claim that the Narnia series isn't kids books.

Kids books is probably not the best way to word it, you can enjoy them at every age, including your childhood, as you get older you may find new truths in them, but they're still good for any age.

A few facts, in an interesting pattern.

2703: Jonathan Cameron dreams of how "a Cameron child shall stand before a distant ruler and be beguiled by his rough country ways and the interests they share. I fear for the child because the distant ruler has cruel, dark thoughts."

2739: Lieutenant Saul Robstein of the 191st Royal BattleMech Division is struck deaf and dumb. A vision of the one-year-dead Jonathan Cameron appears to him, telling him Jocasta Cameron will die in two and a half years. He then recovers.

2742: Jocasta Cameron dies.

2742: Private Sandra Ustus, Seventieth Infantry Division, is struck deaf, blind and dumb, receiving a vision of Jocasta Cameron, telling her that Simon Cameron will die at the hands of an "assassin's digging machine". She then recovers.

2751: Major Carolina Devalis, security chief to Simon Cameron, collapses after touching the Cameron Star on the bulkhead of SLS Ascendant. She experiences a vision of a Cameron Star gone supernova, leaving behind a screaming pulsar. She then recovers.

2751: Simon Cameron's tour of the Consolidated Titanium New Silesia Site and life are ended by a sabotaged mining 'mech charging the control booth he was standing in.

2751: Sergeant Heinz Mann of the 290th Mechanized Infantry Division falls into a coma. He beholds a vision of dozens of dead Camerons, awash in their own blood. He recovers after eight days.

2753: Stefan Amaris strikes up a 'friendship' with Richard Cameron II.

2766: Stefan Amaris executes all the House Cameron.

2784: The SLDF depart the Inner Sphere en masse, eventually to become the Clans (after serious whittling down on the road and through the Pentagon Wars).

2830-2930 (exact date unknown): The Goliath Scorpions begin synthesizing necrosia, a hallucinogenic drug brewed from their totem scorpion's venom. Its effects include inducing comas, and (canonically, mechanically, literally) receiving of visions- even ones of revelatory nature. It is noted that these visions often involve or somehow relate to the Star League.

3062: Zane Nova Cat perceives a vision of an ebony dragon somehow destroying a nova cat and garnet dragon. Zane, as a Nova Cat, is a member of the Second Star League at this time.

3062: Zane convinces his superiors to deploy the First Dragoncat against the Eleventh Alshain Avengers, tripping up the Black Dragon plan for war with Rasalhague at the first hurdle.

Something allowed the SLDF to see outside the confines of linear time, something bound to the image of an eight-pointed star- to touch one, near a Cameron, at any rate, was enough to see through. Alternatively: knowing how to invoke that thing, the Camerons made its sigil their own. What better pact or magic circle than the known galaxy all wearing the necessary rune? Now it can still be heard, but those who listen to it either insulate themselves with intensive rituals- or pay the price in rigors of mind and body. Whatever unfiltered exposure had been doing to the Camerons themselves, Amaris' gun was probably merciful in comparison.

David Cleary!

i'm in Ireland and the search for that bastards name is still blocked and hidden... the legnths the british go to defend and protect their instruments of colonialism and violence is beyond belief. no justice for the victims and yet every measure taken to protect David James Cleary and his fellow murderers.

Never a better time for the Streisand Effect than when it's a government covering up acts of brutality and evil.

if you complain about the Chinese government covering up Tianamen Square, then complain about this, too.

The iron hook slid free from his shoulder with a wet metallic shriek. Something black and arterial splashed across the stones between them.

The torturer stepped back instinctively. Not out of mercy. Out of surprise. The prisoner laughed. Not loudly. Worse than loudly. Softly. Like he had just remembered a private joke older than civilization.

“You still think pain is a language,” he said.

Another blow. This time across the mouth. Teeth cracked. Blood sheeted down his chin in long ribbons.

The interrogator hissed through clenched teeth. “Tell me where God went.”

The prisoner turned his head slowly. There was blood in his smile now.

“There are organisms,” he said, “living beneath Antarctic ice that have never seen the sun and have still learned how to eat.”

The room had gone very still. Somewhere in the dark, machinery groaned.

The interrogator grabbed him by the jaw hard enough to bruise bone.

“You think this makes you immortal?”

The prisoner spat a clot of red onto the floor between them.

“No,” he whispered.

“I think it makes you temporary.”

The torches flickered.

For one impossible second, the interrogator became aware of his own pulse. The heat in his veins. The soft wetness of his eyes. The damp animal electricity inside every living thing. The prisoner watched realization bloom across his face and smiled wider, blood running between his teeth.

“You cannot threaten a creature from the dirt,” he said, “with returning to the dirt.”

After 2 years of GMing, I have yet to meet a cisgender White Witch pilot. Come to think of it, I have yet to meet a sane one...

[mel-155-a]

This implies you have met a cis Lancer player, a statement I do not believe.

[akula-blue]

I am the only cis Lancer player I've ever met. I've forcibly indoctrinated several cis newbies into it, but every Pre Packaged Lancer-Knower I have received has not been cis. Still waiting to be forcefemmed, I've been threatened with an 8 month timeline.

Oh fuck I've forgotten to update this I am starting HRT now.

Lancer: Big Manufacturers and their associated Handlers

Smith-Shimano Corporation

Violence is an art and anyone can be an artist. Using this pedestrian-level analogy, you can get a pretty good idea of how a Smith-Shimano Handler will treat you. They will tell you that you have potential. Acquire enough real combat experience and hours in repeated simulations and you could rise from a mere practitioner to a virtuoso. One who decides the tempo of battle and the trends of war. But let's not get too far ahead. You will need unfaultering discipline to address the flaws, both blatant and obscured, within you. And only your SSC Handler can give you that.

Harrison Armory

On paper you almost look like a good investment. You've exhibited some interesting behavior on and off the battlefield. You test well with key target demographics that the Armory is engaging with. ... Look, this is about what your Armory Handler is going to do for you. They are going to get you the mercenary contracts that will make you look heroic. Then they are going to put you in front of omninet cameras that will make you seem relatable. Between the PR and military campaigns, you'll become a figurehead, with depth. And if you fuck that up... well it depends on the severity.

IPS-N

Whatever you need to operate in a war fighting capacity, your InterPlanetaryShipping-Northstar Handler will do their best to provide. They've done and seen it all, not much frightens them. Got some mental problems? They set you up an appointment with Jimmy, he's a licensed therapist and psychiatrist, good listener, straight talker. Weird tech issues with your mech? This is Jill, she's good with hardware, software, and even paracausal materials. A date? Sorry that's a violation of professional standards. However you are invited to your Handler's family friday evening potluck. Don't die on the battlefield until you've had their synth-printed carne asada, that's an order.

H0RUS

Puppy? Handler-Mommy's gonna be real with you. She thought she had signed up for a very elaborate cosmic horror kink session with a mysterious client. Instead she somehow wound up in this active war zone with you. And she doesn't know how that happened and Something Is Wrong. Regardless, Handler-Mommy didn't get this far in her life without picking up a lot of weird yet useful skills. So she's going to do her best for you, her little attack dog. And You are going to kill everything in mommy's way. Can you do that Puppy? Can you kill for Mommy?

The installation consists of 1,200 glass shards, each of which is aligned by hand. The train is moved centimeter by centimeter and each new glass shard is turned into the correct position so that the beam of light is directed to the next glass shard. As soon as the train starts moving, this creates a chain reaction of light...
