Moons ago…

You were walking to a drop site where you were going to get some parts for a ship you were fixing when you passed by something that had you doing a double-take. After rubbing your strained and tired eyes, you blinked hard as you focused on the ship across from you. It couldn’t be! Looking at the time, you noted that if you did just a quick look around the craft, you would still be able to make the meeting with your parts dealer, so you headed toward the vintage ship.

The ship in question was an ST-70 class Razor Crest M-111. This type of ship was used during the days of the Empire, and you hadn’t seen one since you were a child. Your father had worked on a few now and again over the years, but they got more scarce as time went on after the Empire fell. The broken ships that people commandeered in the chaos were how your dad taught you how to repair them into better condition than even new.

It was how you ended up on this far-off planet in the Outer Rim. Your shop was mobile, on a souped up ship of your own that was able to accommodate you and your clients’ ever-changing ship repair needs. This time, you were on Florrum for someone who needed a tune-up on a freighter, and what should have been an easy fix turned out to be more complicated than they let on in their original consultation. Nevertheless, you were able to get into contact with the people who had the parts you needed to make the necessary repairs.

Which is what had taken you to admiring the Razor Crest in front of you. Doing a quick walk around, you noticed that whoever the owner was had added some upgrades of their own. The original laser guns were replaced with more powerful ones for starters. It made you wary of being around the ship because heavy firepower could mean that the owner wasn’t someone you wanted to mess with. You knew how important peoples’ ships were to them.

As you stood looking at one of the side panels that had some wires poking out from what looked like where a deflector shield had failed, you heard heavy footsteps approaching. The unmistakable sound of a blaster being pulled from a holster met your ears before you heard a modulated voice say, “Step away from the ship.”

Putting your hands in the air, you slowly turned around to face the voice as you said, “I didn’t touch anything. Just admiring. And looking at this panel that needs repair.” When you turned around, you were face-to-face with a Mandalorian in shiny silver beskar who was hauling what looked to be a passed out man. “I-I see that you’re quite busy though, and I have to meet with someone for some repair parts for a Questor. Forget I was here,” you said quickly, not wanting him to pull the trigger on the blaster aimed right at your forehead.

The man didn’t say anything nor did he move a muscle, but he also didn’t react to you turning and quickly making your exit, so you thanked the Maker as you tried to blow off the anxiety that had filled your entire body because of the encounter. Sure, there had been blasters pointed at you in the past over one thing or another, but the commanding presence of the Mandalorian had shaken you. Maybe it was the inability to see the face of the person pointing the blaster at you or the glint of the light off of the armor. Maybe it was the rifle poking out from over his shoulder or the many rounds of ammunition and explosives he had ready to use at a moment’s notice. Maybe it was the uncertainty of what happened to that man he was dragging along with him.

Whatever it was though drove you to the nearest cantina after making more progress on the Questor you were tasked with fixing. The atmosphere inside was electric. It was the most lively place you had stepped into since being on this planet, and you knew lively and fun was just what you needed to relax.

After a couple of drinks, you were finally starting to shake your anxiety when you heard from beside you the same voice from before saying, “I hear you’re the person to go to for ship repairs.” You tensed up for a moment upon hearing the voice, but the drinks in your system dulled the usually sharp edge of the guard you shielded yourself with. Looking over to the Mandalorian, you nodded silently. “Well, like you saw earlier, my ship’s in need of repair. There’s more than just cosmetic damage that I won’t discuss here. You’d earn more than your fair wages if you could fix it.”

And that was how you ended up traveling with the Mandalorian. Din Djarin. You learned quickly that he wasn’t all weapons and armor and intimidation. When he wasn’t in bounty hunter mode, he was a sweet and accommodating man who was fiercely protective of those close to him. Din had made space on his ship for all of your work supplies, and when he was gathering up bounties, you repaired ships in whatever area you were stationed at that day.

Repairing the Crest was an almost daily occurrence and the main reason Din found himself tracking you down to another planet to ask you to travel with him. You thought the request odd at first, but after seeing the ship after one battle, you knew you needed to help the man out. On top of repairing the Crest as needed, you also helped take care of the spirited child Din found himself in charge of. Grogu. He tended to mess with things he shouldn’t, but it wasn’t usually anything a quick modification couldn’t fix.

Living and working with someone on a daily basis had its way of pulling people close together, and no matter how much you and Din tried to keep things professional, your escalating feelings were inevitable. At first things started off physically when he found you in a compromising position in your bunk, thinking you had been hurt judging by the quiet noises he heard coming from the area. From there, things got more intimate. You noticed him ghosting his gloved hands over your arms as you worked around the ship, how he would put his hand gently on your lower back to guide you when you were both in the market for supplies, but especially in the way he called you mesh’la. You didn’t know how to speak Mando’a and Din never told you what the word meant, but even the modulator in his helmet couldn’t mask the fondness in his voice as he said the word.

One night, the three of you were traveling on your ship to get parts you needed to fix the Crest. The dealer was clear across the galaxy though, so you were all in for a long trip. After getting Grogu to sleep and closing the door that held the bunks, you took a quick turn in the refresher.

You came out with a towel wrapped around your body, having forgotten to grab your night clothes before heading in, but didn’t get too far before you felt supple leather caressing your skin as the towel was gently taken off of your body. The chill in the air made the hair on your arms stand on edge, and your nipples began to pebble, not only because of the cold, but because Din’s fingers were instantly on them the second they were revealed to him.

A deep sigh left your chest as he began toying with your chest and a lazy smile made its way onto your lips as he began his ministrations. Because of the Creed, Din couldn’t take off his helmet around you, so you had never felt the pleasures of his mouth either for a simple kiss or more, further down your body. He learned how to get you riled up with his hands alone though. A few gentle caresses over your thighs, a gentle tweak of your nipples, and then a surprisingly light and sensual hand around your throat had your center begging to be filled in only the way he could.

As your hands began making their way to the belt of his flight pants, Din began leading you to the front of the ship where you had a bay window that revealed the beautiful majesty of space flying past the ship. You gasped and arched your back as it hit the cold glass, and that gasp turned into a moan as Din slipped two now ungloved fingers into your core with ease. The smirk in his voice was audible as he commented, “Someone’s excited.”

“I have you giving me pleasure, of course I am,” you breathed, a quiet moan slipping past your lips before you began pushing at the waistband of his flight pants.

Before either of you knew it, Din had you hiked up and held against the window as his powerful hips thrusted into you, the angle something completely different and unfamiliar to you. It had your head rolling back and your jaw falling open in pleasure and your chest heaved as you let out sinful sighs and moans. As the blue and white lights of hyperspace flickered over your body, Din was suddenly filled with a feeling he had been fighting off since he met you and you began traveling together. Love.

Without a second thought crossing his mind, Din whispered, “Keep your eyes closed.”

“D-Din, what-?” you began to ask as he slowed down to a stop, keeping you pinned against the glass as you clung to his body.

“Please. Just trust me,” he said.

You nodded and kept your eyes closed as the sound of his helmet disengaging filled your ears. A quiet gasp left your lips before you asked, “Din, did you just…? The Creed-”

“Keep your eyes shut and you won’t have seen my face,” he said quietly, his true voice filling your ears. It was beautiful. Rich and sweet like a warm breeze washing over you. The words he said next hit you square in the chest and for a few moments you were lost for words. “Mesh’la. Beautiful. I love you,” he said in a breathless whisper before your lips were met with the gentlest of kisses.

“I love you too,” you whispered against his surprisingly soft lips before deepening the kiss just a bit to test the waters.

You were met with enthusiasm as Din kissed you back with fervor, finally starting to rock his hips into yours once more. When he did, you loosed a moan into his mouth as the added pleasure of kissing him completely heightened the pleasure he was giving you. “Osi’kyr! You feel so good,” he grunted out, his hand gripping tighter on your ass as he pounded into you.

Any words you had to say in reply died on your tongue as Din switched from kissing your lips to your neck in a sloppy, open mouthed manner. The sensitive area getting attention was stimulating enough and had the coil in your core starting to tighten, but you began barrelling toward your high when Din latched onto your neck and sucked, surely with the intent of leaving a mark in his wake. He wanted to leave love bites all over you. They were something that would mark you as his. He wanted to be able to see the evidence of your intimacy throughout the week. For others to know that you were taken.

He got so carried away in his mission to mark your neck, and only realized that you had hit your peak when the vibrations of a loud moan and a shout of his name were on his lips. The feeling of your core pulsing around him combined with the beautiful sounds, now unfiltered by his helmet got Din impossibly closer to his own high as you desperately coaxed his lips back up to yours so you could kiss him again. Your wanton moans on his lips drove him to his climax, and with a deep sigh, he filled you up, the pleasure sparking through his body unlike anything he had ever felt before.

After a few moments of keeping you pressed up against the cool glass, Din lowered you down gently, your unsteady feet hitting the floor with a quiet thud. He began reaching for his helmet to don once again, but as if you could sense him doing so, you pulled him into another kiss before resting your forehead on his as you told him, “It can wait. I’ll keep my eyes closed. I just wanna kiss you. Please.”

And so he did. For hours, the two of you got lost in each other's lips. By the end of the night, you had been marked on practically every intimate area Din could reach, and you both learned how talented he was with his tongue. For that night, you kept your eyes closed, but soon after, you had found a suitable covering that Din approved of that you could wear when the two of you got intimate. You both had become addicted to the taste of one another, and you were way too far in love with Din Djarin to never kiss him again.

a/n: this turned out a lot fluffier than i intended, but you know what? it's kinda sorta very adorable! the words just kinda flowed out, but like...the hand on her lower back at the market?? i want it to be me! 🥰😭 i also didn't originally plan the love confession, but that just kinda came out too, whoopsie.

ps: yes, nearly half of this was plot, but to me, Din smut has to have some sort of plot leading up to it. i simply could not write it without a little background as to how we got here!

anyways! likes and comments are appreciated as always! xo, brooke <3

What if everyone got super powers?(part 39). Remake

Nicky pressed himself against the wall behind the cargo module, finger on his earpiece.

[NICKY]: Ivan, come in. What's your status? Have you reached the core?

A hiss, faint static — then Ivan's voice, tight and focused:

[IVAN]: Yeah. I'm inside. Got access. But... it's not a "plug and download" deal. The system's ancient — layered like an onion. I'm still locating the data. The copying hasn't even started. I need time. Fifteen minutes minimum.

[NICKY]: Give me a number, Ivan. We're under fire.

[IVAN]: Minimum fifteen. Optimistically — ten. Realistically — twenty. And that's if Delroy doesn't press another weird button.

[NICKY]: Got it... Do you even realize how tense it is out here? I'm alone. With bombs. And now I've got a new itch in my spine like someone's aiming at me with antennas and a messiah complex.

[IVAN] (sighing): Confirmed. Signal passed through the southern grid: new hybrid groups inbound. Not standard bots. These are upgraded. Several models spliced — flying drones with ballistic stabilizers, ground chasers with accelerators, and assault units with lasers.

[NICKY]: Are you serious?! You're telling me I've got a swarm of cyber-flying pitbulls with machine guns heading my way?!

[IVAN]: Essentially, yes. Protocol V-45 is active. And guess who's tagged as the primary violator?

Nicky froze. His heart skipped.

[NICKY]: ...Me?

[IVAN]: Congrats. You're officially labeled "V-Rot." System's giving you personal attention. They're coming for you, Nick.

Click.

He felt it before he heard it.

A hum — overhead. A shrill whine. Then again — left, right.

He cursed.

And turned.

Three.

One looked like a metal raven — bladed wings, turbines flaring.

The second — a runner, hound-like, spiked legs and six eyes.

The third — humanoid, with long arms pulsing with laser nodes.

They'd already turned into his alley.

[NICKY]: They found me. Torre, they found me!

[IVAN]: Run, Nicky. Run now. I'll catch up.

[NICKY]: What? No — finish copying the data or it's all for nothing. And Trinity won't be thrilled.

[IVAN]: You're seriously prioritizing Trinity's mood over your life?

Trinity cut into the comms.

[TRINITY]: I'm with Nicky on this. The data matters, and Nicky can hold out.

Nicky inhaled. Deep. To the bottom of his lungs.

"Turbo mode. Blitz mode. Pikachu Prime — what was it called again?"

Lightning flashed through his body. His skin trembled from the charge. Hair stood on end. The air crackled.

"Lightning Boost. Activate."

And he launched.

THE AIR COMPRESSED.

He vanished from his spot, leaving a trail of sparks behind. In an instant, he was at the other end of the street — but the bots were still on him.

Shriek. Explosion. BLAST.

A laser sizzled past his head — an inch off.

They're keeping up?! That's impossible!

But it was happening.

The airborne drone dive-bombed from above, dropping spark-blasting mini-grenades. The hound ran parallel — its hydraulic, spring-loaded legs pounding like a predator's. The humanoid sprinted along the wall — ALONG THE DAMN WALL — charging its weapon mid-run.

Nicky swore and swerved — through a trash tunnel, leaping over pipes.

Almost 250 mph. And still — they kept pace.

He hissed in pain — muscles burned, heart pounded like a sledgehammer.

If they catch me now — it's over. Finch. Trinity. Maritza. They're holding the city. Torre's digging the core. If I fall, the bombs don't go off. They'll be surrounded. We lose.

NOT AN OPTION.

He cut hard. Faked the aerial. It missed — slammed into a tower, but recovered instantly.

I need open ground. I'm the bait. But as long as they chase me — no one else dies.

He burst onto an open boulevard. Lightning pulsed through him. One more push — and he might ignite.

Still, he ran.

Because fear? Was behind him.

But will — led the way.

The streets of Robotopolis flickered past his eyes like broken film — shaking, distorted, but painfully real.

He ran at his limit. Flesh tearing under stress. His sneakers nearly ablaze. Lightning lashed from his shoulders, legs, fingertips. He became light — and yet, in the darkness, machines stayed close.

The hydro-hound wasn't just matching him — it moved ahead, forming an intercept path. The drone descended, firing bursts — laser tracers tore through asphalt.

The humanoid — never rushed. It ran in rhythm. Calm. As if it already knew how this ended.

And it did.

Because everything was recorded. Every jump. Every hit. Every pulse of Nicky's body — logged into the central system.

The Raven Man, watching through dozens of lenses, didn't look away from the screen. On it — slow-motion replays, trajectory predictions, data overlays.

He leaned back. His cold beak dipped slightly. His voice came sharp and dry:

"Damn you. Damn these kids. How does he outrun my new hybrids..."

He zoomed in on Nicky's face.

"So you chose resistance, Nicholas. I warned you. Stay away from magic. From secrets. From the abyss. Live. Love. Forget. But you chose war. And now even my deal with your parents won't save you..."

He snapped his fingers.

A signal blinked on the console. SLOWFALL system activated.

"...If my hybrids can't catch you — I'll just slow you down."

From hidden panels in the asphalt, a hundred meters ahead, dark nozzles rose. They hissed like snakes. Then — a spit.

Shssshhh!

A green, sticky sludge burst out, like synthetic slime. It spread fast, coating the street. Embedded in it — shards. Micro-glass. Razors. Reverse hooks.

Nicky didn't make it in time.

He jumped — but too late.

His boots skidded into the sludge with a squelch, and—

"AAAAAAAHHH!!"

His scream cracked the sky like a hammer blow.

His legs were shredded. Shards stabbed through soles and ankles. The glue-like gunk halted him instantly, like smashing into wet concrete.

His boost mode died. Lightning burst and fizzled out in the air like a dying fire. His body slumped — crashing into the wall.

"NOOO—!" he rasped.

He tried to rise — hands shaking, legs bleeding, every nerve alight with pain.

Blood trickled from his ear. His chest heaved. His eyes rolled.

Static.

[MARITZA]: Nicky?! Rot, answer me! Where the hell are you?!

[FINCH]: He's out. His comm's dead. Trinity?!

[TRINITY]: His signal... it dropped. No GPS. No frequency. Looks like they shut him down.

Pause.

[IVAN]: ...shit.

Elsewhere in the city, in the server room, Ivan froze, still at the console. But his hands trembled.

He whispered, low:

"They got him."

Beneath the city, in slime, blood, and glass... Nicky Roth lay motionless.

Consciousness fading.

A ship hovered above him...

And just before the dark consumed him, he heard that voice again — familiar, mocking:

"Well, well, well... who do we have here? Hello again, Nicholas. Time to finish what we started."

And then — silence.

...

Signal lost.

Comms crackled. One by one. In the earpieces — cold silence. Even the city held its breath — the machines went quiet, drones ceased flying, neon dimmed.

Trinity was the first to snap.

"I'm going to him. Right now. SCREW THE MISSION!" — her voice was steel, her eyes pure panic.

On her palms and soles, orbs of energy flared — four violet cores, sparking like they came from another realm. She took off — for the first time, truly flying, not by wind, but by will.

Flight of Hope.

The ability described in that note from the future. It triggered now not from battle — but from fear. Fear of losing Nicky. Forever.

Finch dashed after her without a word. Invisible, crossbow in hand.

Maritza ran through the streets, burning. Her hair ablaze, breath hotter than steam, feet melting the asphalt. She would not stop. Even if she caught fire.

"Just let me be in time... please, God, just let me..."

They arrived almost together.

Trinity first. She slammed down with a pulse of energy. The ground quaked.

Finch appeared from thin air a second later.

Maritza skidded into the alley, scorching the pavement.

...and all three froze.

Before them — a pool.

Sludge. Sticky, thick, green. Clinging to their boots. It reeked of copper, bitterness, chemicals. It stung the throat.

In it — blood.

Dark red, nearly black. Thick. It hadn't just spilled — it had been ripped out. And inside... lightning. Faint sparks, flickering deep within the slime.

Finch dropped to her knees, touching the clot. She ran her fingers through it. Sniffed. Went pale.

"It's him... It's Nicky."

Trinity stood frozen. Her eyes... empty. Hands shaking, her foot-cores dimmed.

"He... couldn't have..." her voice cracked.

Maritza slammed her fist into the wall. The stone cracked. From rage. From helplessness.

"WHERE IS HE?! WHERE THE HELL IS HE?!"

Trinity stepped forward. Again. Then — dropped to her knees and placed her ear to the ground. Wind magic pulsed through the concrete like echolocation.

"...he's not here. They took him."

Finch raised her head.

"Where?"

"Don't know. But no footprints. Only machinery. Something big. Something that... crawled."

Maritza was already standing, her silhouette trembling.

"We'll get him back."

Finch looked at her. Serious. No sarcasm.

"You sure he's still..."

"SHUT UP!" Maritza roared. Her eyes blazed.

"He's alive. He has to be. This is Nicky."

Trinity wiped her nose in silence.

"We're not leaving without him."

Maritza looked down the street.

"If it's a trap — so be it. But we pull him out. Even if the city burns."

Three girls. Soaked in sweat and blood. Exhausted. But united.

For a second — a real team. No fights. No teasing. Just three hearts refusing to lose a fourth.

The wind howled through empty alleys. And in the shadows... someone watched.

A pause.

The next step — into hell. But there's no turning back.

Even if all of Robotopolis stands in their way...

They'll go. For him.

…

Two hours later…

His head throbbed.

Darkness. The same kind. Too familiar. A single drop of water — drip… drip… drip — beat out a cold rhythm on the floor. The air was rotten. The walls — stone. Chains. Chains on his wrists. On his ankles.

Nicky slowly came to, opening his eyes as if screaming through them: No… no, please, not again…

But this wasn’t a dream. He felt everything: the dampness, the burning in his leg, the cold of metal against skin — and especially, the taste of blood in his mouth.

He tried to move — the chains creaked, that sound like a slap to the face.

“NO,” he rasped.

“NO, NOT THIS. THIS WAS A DREAM… IT WAS JUST A DREAM!”

He struggled. Pulled. Twisted. Tore his wrists bloody — but the shackles held. Just like reality.

Then — footsteps.

Just like back then.

Heavy. Calm.

And the door — slammed open with a metallic screech, as if the whole world decided to play a rerun of evil just for him.

Light poured in through the doorway. And in it — him.

The same silhouette. A man.

His face… impossible to see. As if shadows still clung to it even in the light. As if the city itself protected his secret.

And once again…

“Ah, Nicholas. Glad to see you’re awake.”

That same voice. Smooth, coaxing. Like a snake offering an apple.

“You…” Nicky hissed.

“Who the hell are you?!”

“Does the name Franklin Peterson mean anything to you?” the figure shifted — seemingly revealing his real form.

He had reddish-brown shoulder-length hair, green eyes, and burn scars covering the right side of his face and part of the left cheek.

Nicky’s eyes went wide. Franklin? That Franklin? From Theodore’s stories back when Nicky was trapped in the basement?

He had thought it was just some psychotic fantasy… If Theodore really had a brother, someone would’ve looked for him. His parents were famous. And Aaron would’ve told Nicky about an uncle.

But Franklin had vanished from everyone’s memory…

“F-Franklin? But… you’re supposed to be dead!” Nicky blurted.

“Oh no, my boy. That’s what they all thought…” Franklin said calmly.

“The light didn’t kill me. It just turned me into a monster.” he growled.

“And it’s all because of those idiots in Halloween masks and costumes! That’s what made me like this — half-dead, half-blind, just some forest freak. The Master of the Crowfaces!”

Nicky tried to trigger lightning, or just move — but Franklin noticed and slammed him hard into the wall. The motion — painfully familiar. Like Theodore. The brothers acted alike.

“And since you know so much about me, I can’t just let you go…” the man said coldly.

“No one in this cursed town remembers my name. No one but you. And my brother.”

“So what, you’re going to kill me now?” Nicky swallowed. He didn’t know what was worse — death, or getting a new perspective on life from a walking corpse.

“Kill you? No… I need you. Your parents were very concerned about your safety. They even helped me — became unofficial members of the cult — just to keep you alive.”

Nicky’s world shattered. His parents were… Crowfaces? He suddenly recalled their theory — that two unknown Crowfaces were still out there. His parents?

They had committed crimes just to protect him. That’s what they were trying to say?

“Y-you…”

“I’m not lying, Nicholas. But you crossed the line. I gave you a chance to live a normal life — not just because of my deal with them, but because I pitied you. I tried to warn you. But you chose the hero’s path. And now…”

”…you’ll pay for it.”

A robot entered. The robot.

Black armor. Red visor. A spike on its head. Blades on its joints. Blasters on its wrists. Straight out of a nightmare. Only this time — it was real.

Nicky froze. As if his body remembered all the pain before it even hit.

“NO. I won’t let—”

“You already did, Nicholas. The moment you stepped back into this city. The moment you decided your will mattered more than order.”

A syringe.

It gleamed in the Raven Man’s hand — like a drop of blood on glass.

Crimson fluid. It vibrated. It breathed.

“You’re not meant to die. That’s too expensive. You’ll live. But you’ll serve.”

Nicky screamed:

“DON’T TOUCH ME!”

The robot stepped forward — grabbed his chin. Lifted his face.

Steel fingers dug into his cheekbones.

“NOOO—!”

“You fight back. Good. Makes the moment sweeter.”

The needle touched his neck.

A jolt of pain.

Like lightning. Like molten ice. Like a nightmare made flesh.

“NOOOOOO—!!”

But the scream never left. He couldn’t scream anymore.

His body — convulsed. Seizures rippled from spine to fingertips. His lungs — drowned in acid. His veins — burned. His eyes — rolled back.

He tried to remember faces. Trinity. Maritza. Finch. Aaron. Mya. Lucy. Ivan. Enzo. Delroy. Dad. Mom. Bubbe. Uncle Saul. Diane. Mr. Murtaugh…

But the images melted. Faded like wax.

It was like someone poured black paint into his soul.

“Soon… you’ll see things differently.” the Raven man whispered.

“And then… you’ll become what you were always meant to be. The vessel for the Thing.”

Nicky fought. OH GOD HE FOUGHT. With everything he had.

He cried. Screamed inside. Clawed at his soul to keep that thing out.

But… he was losing control.

Slowly. Painfully. Inevitably.

Ahead — darkness.

Darkness that had taken shape — the Thing. A thin, humanoid shadow with glowing white eyes, its body pulsing — shifting from skinny to monstrous. Swarms of black particles orbited around it.

And it drew closer… merging with him. Binding to his fate.

His skin burned. His organs clenched and spasmed like motors. Even Lightning Boost had never felt like this.

“Please… someone… help me…” Nicky whispered.

And then he heard it — his voice had changed.

Glitched. Monstrous. Distorted.

“Unchain him. No need to keep him bound anymore.” Franklin ordered the robot.

”…sorry, kid. No one’s coming. You’re alone.” he added, watching as Rot closed his eyes — either from pain or defeat.

Then Nicky opened them again…

One final look at his enemy…

His brown eyes — now crimson.

Franklin was right about one thing…

Nicky was alone. He had called for help…

…but no one came.

…

Poor Nicky. He finally got really good friends, made Aaron come back to normal. But now he’s not normal… well he never was normal. Still poor child.

And yeah. Luanne and Jay are cult members. Kinda.

DIY Laser Tripwire Security System Using Arduino

The project consists of a laser module that continuously emits a beam aimed at a laser receiver sensor. When an object (such as a person) obstructs the laser, the receiver detects the interruption and triggers an alarm via a buzzer. This system is ideal for securing doorways, hallways, or any restricted area.

COMPONENTS REQUIRED

Arduino Uno

Laser LED Module

Laser Receiver Sensor Module

Buzzer

Jumper wires

Breadboard

Circuit Diagram

CODE

#define LASER_PIN 7

#define RECEIVER_PIN 8

#define BUZZER_PIN 9

void setup() {

pinMode(LASER_PIN, OUTPUT);

pinMode(RECEIVER_PIN, INPUT);

pinMode(BUZZER_PIN, OUTPUT);

digitalWrite(LASER_PIN, HIGH); // Laser ON

Serial.begin(9600);

}

void loop() {

int status = digitalRead(RECEIVER_PIN);

if (status == 1) { // If laser beam is blocked

Serial.println("⚠️ Intruder Detected!");

digitalWrite(BUZZER_PIN, HIGH);

} else {

Serial.println("✅ Area Secure");

digitalWrite(BUZZER_PIN, LOW);

}

delay(500);

}

October 20, 2281 Well that was certainly, interesting. I scavenged on my way to Primm and managed to find a Recharger Rifle, not the best but since its a rifle that helps with the aim tremendously. Do not underestimate the simple benefit of shoulder bracing. Primm was overrun with convicts, they were actively harassing the town folk, so I shot my way in. Nash, the guy who runs the Mojave Express around here, was able to get me some information about the package. Apparently there were 6 packages, mine was the only one to not make it, AND the Securitron, Victor, seems to have been the one to put the order in. Something tells me I am a small fish in a big fucking lake. The Suit, I am guessing, is high up in one of the three families, the Securitrons are primarily controlled by House. What would he want with a chip though? Sure, its Platinum, a very valuable metal, but there's plenty of scrap to be found compared to the size of that poker chip. My only hypothesis is that it either has extreme sentimental value to Robert House, the less likely route given the lengths gone to to protect it... More likely it is a disguised piece of hardware, or maybe even a storage device for software. Something very unique, and certainly pre-war. I should have examined it closer while I still had the package, perhaps it would have enlightened me to the purpose. Anyway, the only man who might have seen them, a cowardly man named Deputy Beagle, was captured by the convicts inside the Bison Steve. I cleared out the rest of town to ensure my 6 was fine before carefully making my way through the building. During this time I found a small robot, not Robco. designed. I checked to see what parts it needed, the sensor modules would probably have been difficult, but in clearing the Bison Steve I managed to find two. I also dealt with a short in the wiring preventing the elevator from moving, I see a problem, I fix it. I found an AER-9 Laser Rifle in a lockbox upstairs, one hell of a steal even in its shitty condition. I am going to work on repairing it as I travel and keep my eyes peeled for a scope or some proper iron sights for it. Wow, fuck it is 0100, I should wrap this up and get the fuck to sleep. Primm was now without a Sheriff and the coward refused to step up. NCR was not an option for me, and neither was some random guy in the prison. So I took the Protectron, Primm Slim, scoured its database, learned of a stolen fancy pants gun, and rebooted it to run as a lawman for the town. Oh, and the bot? I fixed it up, designation ED-E. Guess we are heading out towards Mojave Outpost come morning. Ophelia Bacon - Scientia Potentia Est

Why are headlights so expensive for cars?

The high cost of modern car headlights is driven by a convergence of advanced technology, complex design, stringent regulations, and market factors. Here's a breakdown of the key reasons:

Advanced Technology & Complexity:

LED/Laser/Matrix Systems: Modern headlights use multi-element LED arrays, adaptive projectors, laser elements (on high-end models), or matrix/pixel technology that individually dims segments of the beam. This requires sophisticated control units, sensors, and wiring.

Adaptive Functionality: Features like auto-leveling, cornering beams, glare-free high beams, and dynamic light projections require motors, cameras, complex software, and extra wiring harnesses.

Integrated Components: Headlights now house DRLs (Daytime Running Lights), turn signals, position lights, and often front-facing sensors (radar/camera for ADAS) all in one sealed unit, driving up complexity.

Precision Engineering & Materials:

Optical Precision: Lenses and reflectors are molded with extreme precision to meet strict beam pattern regulations and avoid glare. Molds for these optics are incredibly expensive to design and manufacture.

Materials: High-performance polycarbonate lenses resist yellowing and cracking, while complex aluminum or magnesium heat sinks efficiently dissipate heat from powerful LEDs/Lasers. Seals must be perfect to prevent moisture and corrosion. Internal reflectors use specialized coatings.

Durability Requirements: Headlights must withstand extreme temperatures, UV radiation, road debris impacts, vibrations, and chemical exposure (car washes, road salt) for the vehicle's lifespan. This requires high-grade materials and construction.

Regulation & Testing Overhead:

Global Standards: Headlights must comply with strict global regulations (SAE, ECE, etc.) regarding beam pattern, intensity, cutoff sharpness, and aiming. Developing, testing, and certifying each headlight design for different markets adds significant cost.

Complex Testing: Extensive lab and road testing is required to ensure compliance, durability, and performance in all conditions, adding R&D costs.

Design and Manufacturing Integration:

Styling Demands: Headlights are critical styling elements. Aggressive shapes, intricate lighting signatures ("light jewelry"), and seamless integration with body panels require complex, unique housings for each model.

Custom Manufacturing: Headlights are model-specific (often even trim-level specific). Low-volume production runs compared to simple bulbs mean costs aren't spread over millions of identical units. Assembly involves delicate electronics and precise calibration.

Module Design: Modern headlights are typically sold as sealed assemblies ("modules"). If anything fails inside (LED chip, driver, ballast, motor, wiring), you often have to replace the entire 800+ unit, not a 10 bulb.

Supply Chain & Market Factors:

OEM vs. Aftermarket: Dealers charge high prices for genuine OEM parts, covering their overhead and profit margins. While quality aftermarket options exist (often significantly cheaper), OE parts command a premium.

Insurance Influence: Since insurance often pays for replacements after collisions (which frequently damage headlights), manufacturers have less pressure to minimize headlight costs compared to components owners pay for directly.

Low Price Elasticity: Headlights are essential safety items. Consumers need them to drive legally and safely, reducing the incentive for manufacturers/dealers to compete heavily on price for replacements.

Supplier Profit: Tier-1 suppliers (like Valeo, Bosch, Magna, Koito) design and build these complex units and need to recoup their substantial R&D and tooling investments per unit sold to the automaker.

Labor Cost (Hidden): Installation is often complex, requiring bumper/fender removal and sometimes electronic calibration/reprogramming. While the part cost is high, labor adds significantly to the total replacement expense perceived by the owner.

Comparison to Older Designs:

Simple Halogen Reflectors: Used cheap bulbs (10-50), simple reflectors, and a basic lens. Easy to manufacture replaceable bulbs. Entire assembly replacement was relatively inexpensive (100-300).

HID Projectors: Introduced cost via ballasts and specialized bulbs (50-150 per bulb), but the projectors and housings were less complex than modern LED units. Assemblies cost more than halogens but less than LEDs.

Modern LED/Adaptive Units: Represent a quantum leap in technology, integration, and complexity, hence the price jump.

In essence: You're paying for high-tech electronics, extreme precision optics, complex software integration, advanced materials built for durability, significant R&D/testing/regulatory costs, custom low-volume manufacturing of a styling-critical safety component, and market dynamics where insurers often foot the bill. It's a far cry from swapping out a simple bulb in a basic reflector housing.

Week 3 (Project Update) – More One-shots and Ambience

Synthesising sounds that circumvent the main oscillators sparked a trend that continued into this week's creation of the green light throw. Applying effects to various white noises from the noise oscillator has been a foolproof way to create textures without distinct pitches.

youtube

I experimented a bit with modulating the distortion. Serum actually got me 90% of the way to the sound I was aiming for, but since I had success with bouncing the audio on the laser death sound, I applied the same concept here.

youtube

Light Ball Grabs

I was struggling to synthesise texture-based sounds (without pitch) from scratch. Feeling a bit short on ideas, I began tinkering with various effect plugins on bounced audio from unused sounds, which led me to rediscover a forgotten favourite of mine – Xynth Audios Rezonator. Resonators can produce similar effects to vocoders, except they alter audio more discretely by applying square or pulse waves to the harmonics of a sound. This technique found its way into many of the one-shots that I created this week, but some of my favourite ones were the white/green light ball grabs.

youtube

As I previously mentioned in the lecture entry last week, in the realm of sound design… The Ambience is not a strength of mine, so before I dove headfirst into Serum, I skimmed through the knytt underground video to see what background elements were present in each of the rooms. The trees and wind did not require extensive time or research since white noise is the primary timbre of these sounds. However, synthesising realistic water with a virtual synthesiser was an entirely different challenge until I stumbled upon a tutorial by Naircol. He demonstrated the power of applying randomised "chaos" parameters to a bandpass filter and coarse pitch on a saw wave. Although my synth patch lacked the same level of intricacy as Naircol's patch, I still managed to create something that partially resembled the textures of running water.

❛ i’m not wearing any underwear. thought you’d like to know. ❜

Arch had been preoccupied with his usual idle pastime, cleaning one of his many, many firearms. Parts were strewn out on his table for a rather unique looking Beretta 92F, with a two tone frame, wooden grip and a small laser aiming module attached. The name "Albert Wesker" etched into one side of the slide.

Arch was in the middle of trying to remove some rust when his companion made the comment. Though with his mind being as singularly focused as it was barely looked up from his work when he responded with

"Wait. You have underwear?"

CTF Photonics CTF3 + Malkoff E1HTv2 and Z-Bolt Blazer IR Heads

A follow-up to the previous post, this unit officially belongs to @bureau-of-mines' AK build and figured I'd give my own more thorough early impressions on it so far - despite the presence of other devices hitting the market around the same time and price bracket as this, I still feel like the CTF3 has a niche of its own to fill.

The key selling point to this unit is its modularity - in lieu of an onboard IR illuminator, the CTF3 features effectively two 3V Scout Flashlight bodies machined into the laser body that sit saddleback on either side of the top rail. This allows you to interchange whatever IR or white light heads you need for your specific setup.

The fire buttons are surprisingly easy to reach despite the protruding battery caps; the center button being laser only and the smaller left and right buttons activating both the laser and the corresponding light body.

Sadly this means your IR laser will be activated when using the white light, and there's also no constant-on function for the light bodies, but such is life.

In my opinion, the greatest benefit of the CTF3 is its low profile - this really is the perfect laser for an AK or other rifle that force you to use lower-mounted optics. It fills the same niche as the 3EIR DIR Series, except it's more modular, made of higher quality materials, asks roughly half the cost (as far as a base unit without heads), and eliminates a separate white light setup, keeping the overall cost of accessories down.

Obviously, you also lose a remote cable port, vis laser, power output controls, the ability to co-align the illuminator with the laser dot, and divergence control is greatly limited as well (unless you get an IR Blazer Head), but you get the benefit of having less integral components to fail within the laser body itself.

Although I have a massive bias to ancient laser boxes, the CTF3 is a very cool unit and I love how it works on "westernized" AK setups (though how well it handles 7.62x39 is yet to be determined). Love to see more from CTF going forwards.

Also giving @avtomatkalashnikova a tag since he was interested in this setup as well.

Latest moon mission carries a new reflection on history

In July 1969, four faculty members traveled from College Park to Kennedy Space Center in Florida to provide last-minute instruction to a noteworthy pupil: an Apollo 11 astronaut about to become one of the first humans to set foot beyond Earth.

Just days later, lunar module pilot Buzz Aldrin would be following mission commander Neil Armstrong onto the moon's surface to deploy a UMD-led experiment. The suitcase-size array of retroreflectors—painstakingly crafted hunks of glass able to reflect light directly back to its source from any angle—would serve as a target for powerful lasers on Earth and provide the first accurate measurements of the distance between the planet and its satellite. In a meeting with Aldrin, then-Assistant Professor Douglas Currie, an expert in laser light, asked if the former fighter pilot with a Ph.D. in astronautics had any questions.

At a later lunar workshop, Currie recalls, Aldrin scoffed about the procedural instructions, "Ahh, it was so easy I decided I could give it to Armstrong."

But the wisecracking astronaut had done his homework, and for the last 55 years, that array and two more placed by successive Apollo missions have yielded a wealth of data for NASA's Lunar Laser Ranging experiment, helping scientists detect our moon's liquid core, bolstering Einstein's theory of general relativity and providing a better understanding of the evolution of the Earth-moon system, among other discoveries.

Now the university has done it again with the launch early Wednesday of the Next Generation Lunar Retroreflector as part of a mission scheduled to touch down on the moon on March 2. This time, Currie is principal investigator for the retroreflector project, a position held on the Apollo 11 project by the late physics Professor Carroll Alley.

There are no astronauts to train for this mission; the chunky "corner cube" retroreflector will arrive aboard an uncrewed craft launched by the company Firefly Aerospace as part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services program and remain atop the lander for its operational life. (Subsequent reflectors to be developed by NASA with UMD's help, based on Currie's general design, are expected to be set up by astronauts in NASA's Artemis program, which aims to return to the moon later this decade.)

"When NASA announced back in 2004 they were going back to the moon, I said that instead of an array of 100, we need to have one big one, and I've been playing with that since then," says Currie, now a professor emeritus and senior research scientist in the Department of Physics.

He and NASA hope the next-gen device boosts precision in distance measurements by perhaps a factor of 30, from several centimeters of uncertainty to less than one millimeter.

The imprecision of the current device stems from the fact that observers watching from the ground don't know if a laser pulse bounces back from a reflector on the near corner or the far corner of the array, which are at slightly different and constantly changing distances from the ground because of the moon's slight back-and-forth movement relative to Earth. Having just one mirror removes uncertainty, Currie says.

The new setup will also have the advantage of being shiny and new. Though still functional, evidence suggests the Apollo 11 mission array is significantly blocked by lunar dust; calculations suggest the new device will be 10 times as bright as the current arrays, says Stephen Merkowitz, who's overseeing lunar laser ranging as Space Geodesy Project manager at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.

Solving these problems will contribute to another one, however. The hefty chunk of glass making up the new single retroreflector mirror soaks up and sheds more heat during frigid lunar nights and blazing days, creating a greater possibility for temperature gradients and distorted reflections. Currie and his partners at the National Laboratories of Frascati in Italy worked to minimize that with the retroreflector's housing design.

"A lot of what we're looking to do today builds directly on what was done more than 50 years ago, so Doug's experience working on Apollo is valuable in the present," Merkowitz says.

Currie chuckles looking at a photo he keeps in his office in the Physics Building: It shows Aldrin strolling across the moon, swinging the original UMD mirror array in one hand and another priceless experiment in another. Times have changed.

"Now we're told the astronauts have to carry it in both hands, even though it weighs only a fraction of what Buzz was carrying," he says. "They want you to do one thing at a time, I guess."

How “Adaptive Quizzing” Turbocharged My Learning

Adaptive quizzing isn’t just another fancy term—it’s a game changer for efficient, personalized study. I first encountered this method through my tutor at Hub of Mentors, and the difference was night and day. Here’s how adaptive quizzing works, why it’s so powerful, and how you can integrate it into your own routine.

What Is Adaptive Quizzing?

Unlike static quizzes that present the same questions every time, adaptive quizzes dynamically adjust their difficulty and topic focus based on your performance in real time. If you breeze through algebra questions, the system ramps up to more challenging problems. Struggle with a chemistry reaction mechanism? You’ll get extra targeted practice on that very reaction until it clicks.

Why It Works

Personalized Challenge: You’re always working at the edge of your competence zone—not bored by too‑easy questions or overwhelmed by ones you can’t touch.

Immediate Feedback Loop: As soon as you answer a question, you get corrective feedback explaining the logic or process, preventing misconceptions from taking root.

Data‑Driven Focus: Your performance metrics—accuracy, speed, and topic proficiency—feed into a dashboard that highlights strengths and weaknesses. You no longer waste time on topics you’ve mastered.

My Adaptive Quizzing Routine

Daily Warm‑Up: I start each session with a 10‑question adaptive quiz on my core subject (e.g., calculus or organic chemistry). This wakes up my brain and sets a personalized starting point.

Targeted Modules: Based on quiz results, I tackle 2–3 brief modules: one for incorrect items, one for near‑misses, and one for new concepts to stretch my skills.

Tutor Check‑Ins: My tutor at Hub of Mentors reviews the quiz analytics weekly. We discuss patterns—say, consistent errors in integration by parts—and design mini‑lessons to plug gaps.

Progress Tracking: I log my daily scores in a simple spreadsheet. Watching my average accuracy climb from 65% to 92% over four weeks kept me motivated.

Integrating It Yourself

Choose a Platform: Many EdTech tools (Khan Academy, Brilliant, or proprietary Hub of Mentors quizzes) offer adaptive features.

Set Time Limits: Aim for 15–20 minutes per quiz session to maintain focus without fatigue.

Review Explanations: Don’t skip the feedback. Read or watch the explanation fully before moving to the next question.

Share Data: If you work with a tutor or study partner, share your analytics to get tailored advice.

Adaptive quizzing turned my scattered practice into a laser‑focused journey, saving me hours of inefficient study. If you want guided access to high‑quality adaptive quizzes and expert interpretation of your data, check out Hub of Mentors. Their platform combines tailored quizzes with one‑on‑one coaching, ensuring every minute you spend studying pushes you closer to mastery.
