It's not quite accurate to say I have 60,000 consecutive words on Akatsuki's Big Adventure now, given various vagueries of word-counts in different pieces of software, but it's close enough and I'm 10 chapters from the end now, so hey, milestone.

This is despite being hit out of nowhere with a nasty cold/flu thing this week that has left me quite shattered.

I do hope this is going to be fun to read when I'm done. I'm currently entering the 'shock reveal cavalcade' stretch of proceedings, which should be quite enjoyable to get sorted out (start a chapter with one reveal, end it on the left-field twist, then continue in this vein for a couple more). I do however need to solve the problem of how to have somebody stow away aboard a mobile suit in a relatively believable fashion. Such is life.

Here are some character descriptions by way of teasers, and the fact I have yet to find the will to do costume design sketches like I want.

------

They're too far to make out the details of their faces. She notes how they tense up, though, Lab Coat stepping forward and nodding to whoever's approaching, who she can't see from this angle until they've nearly reached the welcoming committee. Three more men, two in business sits, the sharper of the pair at the front, going to shake Lab Coat's hand, and someone in a more military-looking jacket, dark maroon, with black pants and heavy boots. He – or, actually, it's just the impression of the build that makes her think that – has a helmet that covers more of their head, leaving only the clean-shaven jaw and a hint of hair visible above the jacket's collar. A soldier's helmet, definitely. Surplus Gjallarhorn equipment? Steel silver, a cluster of sensor apertures on the front, otherwise smooth and blank.

------

I don't know how much of an idea I'd formed of what she looked like under [her helmet]. Enough to be surprised. She's taller than me and with the harsh voice, I think I expected her to be older. Her black hair is cut close, although not so much she doesn't have to smooth it down. She has narrow, elegant eyebrows and a pointy nose, and her skin is a rich bronze tone that does nothing to hide the acne scars on her cheeks.

A perfectly normal-looking girl, maybe my age, maybe a year or two more.

“Got something on my face?” she asks, not quite smiling, not quite sneering.

------

Number Seven, meanwhile, looks like he's somebody's grandpa. Half-moon spectacles perched on his long nose, a neat black waistcoat, thin eyebrows under a lank grey fringe. Except, you can see the corded muscle exposed by his rolled-up shirtsleeves and the tattoos stretching down to the backs of his broad hands, and also the cable stretched from the roof to his spine, disappearing through custom-made gaps in his clothes. An Alaya-Vijnana system. Got to be. You can't help staring for a few seconds, unsure what to think. Have you ever seen one used outside of a cockpit? Why would anyone need to?

“Is that mask recording?” the man asks, snapping you out of it.

The woman asked the same thing. The bar-fly didn't. “Yeah.”

------

From one angle, everything about Jove is made up. His name, the inky black of his hair, his bright suits and neatly-pointed goatee, each as deliberately crafted as the Tournament itself. The fighters pretend, putting on an act in the ring, and Jove at the top puts on the biggest of all, selling them body and soul. He'll say whatever he needs to, do whatever he has to, to draw in the crowd's money.

But there's the trick. He makes himself up to chase a single goal, and that isn't hidden in the slightest. It's as naked as a wad of meria bills.

------

We spend a few more minutes searching the supermarket for the makings of a decent meal. It's not badly stocked, overall. Everything you could hope for, far as nutrition goes. Oh, I am definitely being a snob. Mom'd be telling me off and Kudelia would be seriously disappointed. The people shopping here aren't going to have a say in what's on offer, are they? They'll be able to make the best of it, just the same as I hopefully can. Even those living off Mr Sunshine's Spectacular Savoury Sensations don't deserve some Martian punk looking down on them.

Also a smart man, looking up at his host and sole protector when he's astronomical units from home, wouldn't want to insult her by being a huge dick over her living conditions.

------

You clocked them the moment they rose from their seats. Three people in military uniforms – in Gjallarhorn uniforms, or the remains of them. The sleeves have been cut off the men's olive green tunics and the badges on the front are gone, a blank space where the shield and seven stars was once displayed. The woman standing between them wears her officer's coat unbuttoned and without the belt, showing off the ruffled white blouse underneath and the big silver medallion hung around her neck. She's easily as tall as Jove and has a tumbling mass of curly brown hair, contrasting sharply with a complexion almost as pale as her shirt.

“Good morning.” Natural authority rings through her voice. “A pleasure to make your acquaintance.”

------

Should she stay locked inside Räum? Sit here, safely armoured, ready to go if everything nosedives.

Yeah. She knows that's a dumb idea even before Pinky's pilot floats over to beckon her out. So she pulls her jacket from the right-side storage compartment and digs in the left for mag-strips to fasten on the bottom of her boots.

“Jaén, was it?” The woman waiting outside is averagely tall, built broad and curvy enough for it to show from under her rose-coloured normal-suit. She's got a pile of dark, frizzy hair tied up on her head – and a smile pretty as a razor. “I'm Gabriela Turbine.”

Grunted acknowledgement is the safest response when Jaén's head is suddenly full of several competing kinds of warning bells.

------

(*points* Do you see the structural conceit this time around? Isn't it shiny??)

Techno-Nationalism and Global Power Plays: A Deep Dive by Sayyed Farhan Naqvi

In today’s world, the levers of global influence have shifted dramatically from traditional resources like oil and steel to advanced technologies such as semiconductors, cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and algorithms. These technologies now form the backbone of economic strength, military power, and geopolitical influence. Sayyed Farhan Naqvi explores the rising significance of techno-nationalism and its impact on global power dynamics.

The Digital Battleground: Semiconductors, AI, and Cloud Dominance Semiconductors, cloud infrastructure, and AI have become the cornerstone of modern geopolitical strategy. Semiconductors power critical sectors, from AI models to precision weaponry, making them vital for both national security and global competitiveness. As a result, countries across the world, including the United States, China, and Europe, have introduced policies like the U.S. CHIPS Act, investing billions into semiconductor development and production.

Cloud computing, once exclusive to tech startups, is now central to the concept of national sovereignty. Policies focused on "digital sovereignty" are reshaping data storage and processing to serve as tools for geopolitical influence. From Taiwan’s TSMC to major American players like AWS and Google Cloud, the global digital infrastructure has become a high-stakes arena in international relations.

The U.S.-China Tech Rivalry: A New Cold War for Digital Dominance The escalating technological rivalry between the U.S. and China has transformed from a trade conflict to a battle for dominance in AI, quantum computing, and 5G networks. Issues like Huawei’s 5G rollout, TikTok’s data handling, and U.S. chip export controls are not just trade disputes but indicators of a broader technological cold war.

This rivalry is about setting the rules for the digital world. The U.S. promotes a market-driven approach, while China pushes for a state-controlled model. As Sayyed Farhan Naqvi points out, AI is a key battleground, with both nations racing to secure not only hardware and software but also the talent necessary for technological supremacy.

Sovereign AI: Governments’ Quest for Control Sovereign AI refers to nations’ attempts to control the development and deployment of artificial intelligence. Countries like France, the UAE, and China have launched their own AI initiatives to reduce dependence on Western technologies. However, Sayyed Farhan Naqvi argues that true AI sovereignty is complicated. Global talent mobility, open-source models, and supply chain dependencies create significant interdependencies. Nations without local chip production or large-scale cloud providers face substantial challenges.

A fragmented AI landscape could lead to divergent standards and security risks, making global cooperation essential. Countries must balance national ambitions with global collaboration to prevent vulnerabilities in the AI ecosystem.

Weaponized Interdependence: Strategic Leverage through Supply Chains Once symbols of efficiency, global supply chains have now become tools for coercion, with nations using their control over technology and materials as leverage. This concept, known as "weaponized interdependence," is evident in actions like the U.S. imposing chip export restrictions and China threatening to limit rare earth minerals.

In response, countries are forming defensive tech alliances, such as the U.S.-led Chip 4 group (comprising Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan), India’s expanding tech partnerships, and the EU’s push for digital autonomy. These new alliances are redefining global tech relationships as vital national security compacts.

Digital Mercantilism: Rethinking Global Tech Trade Global trade policies, designed for physical goods, are ill-suited for the challenges of managing data and algorithms. This mismatch has given rise to digital mercantilism, where governments impose data localization rules and limit foreign tech companies’ reach. Examples include India’s data protection laws, China’s Great Firewall, and Europe’s Digital Markets Act. While these measures aim to protect national interests, they risk fragmenting the global internet and stifling innovation.

The Stakes of Techno-Geopolitics: The Future of Global Power The growing dominance of digital technologies in shaping global power dynamics reflects the rise of techno-geopolitics, where control over chips, cloud infrastructure, and algorithms is now as important as military might. The decisions made today, regarding cooperation or confrontation in the tech sphere, will influence the global geopolitical landscape for generations to come.

In an era governed by data, AI, and algorithms, the crucial question is: who will set the rules? Nations must navigate the balance between national interests and global collaboration to secure their place in the future of global power.
