The courage to Stay, Wheel of Time x Agatha All Along

Billy, no!

Her scream is lost in sudden darkness. Then there is light. Hot, burning, dry, the first thing that strikes before her body hits the ground beneath her at full speed.

2. Shields, Wheel of Time

She’s going to die. The fact Moiraine told him almost makes it worse. Makes it real. Lan can’t remember the last time she was this open : outwardly, without letting the bond talk where she couldn’t. 

3. By being with you, Wheel of Time

It’s like being alone. 

This isn't the first time she's been away from Siuan - light, she's surely been separated from her for longer than she's been in her arms - but never before has she faced the terrifying possibility of an end.

4. There's a road, Agatha All Along

Winter winds howled furiously around her. The area was one of those that seemed most exposed to the cold, so biting it seemed to freeze time, and it would be many weeks before the streams came back to life, taking with them the blazing whiteness of the dark months.

5. Over my Shoulder, L'Art du Crime

Elle était là.

Antoine la fixa juste une seconde de trop avant de poursuivre son mouvement, le torchon inutile sur le verre déjà sec alors qu’il se souvint du dernier jour où il l’avait vue.

6. In Memoriam, L'Art du Crime

-Vous croyez qu’on a une chance ?

-Il doit forcément être là-bas. Si on est assez rapides, répond Antoine en resserrant les mains sur le volant.

Le capitaine garde les yeux fixés sur la route de campagne sinueuse qui devrait les mener au tableau volé. S’il a relevé le sens de la question de Florence, rien dans son expression ne le trahit.

7. Les éclats, les orages et les silences, l'Art du Crime

Des coups de feu retentissaient dans leur dos. Il n’y avait plus que le béton sous les pieds de Florence, la terreur de tomber avant d’atteindre le véhicule, et ses muscles criant grâce sous l’effort soutenu.

8. So afraid to lose, l'Art du Crime

Vous pensez pas qu’on est en train de passer à côté de quelque chose ?

Elle avait souri d’un air gêné et refusé. Gentiment, parce que c’était Florence, mais elle avait refusé quand même et Antoine avait eu envie de partir en courant devant le bruit de son estomac qui tombait tout au fond de son ventre.

saga: Soumission & Domination 305

Petit rappel, tous les protagonistes de l'histoire sont bien sûr majeurs !

Fin juin 2014-2

Après une nuit des plus agitée, pas mal de déplacements entre les différentes chambres et même entre les étages, nous retrouvons nos invités autour du petit déjeuner. Ammed était passé à la boulangerie et entres les viennoiseries et les pains frais, il y avait le choix.

Dans leurs pérégrinations nocturnes, les Lads avaient été entrainés au second étage pour baiser. Après le café, ils m'ont demandé si c'était possible de s'entrainer un peu sur les machines de muscu. C'est Ric et sa grande pratique du travail en salle qui les a guidé alors que tous nous nous répartissions tous avec eux ou dans les diverses piscines pour un bon décrassage.

Avec mes trois " nageurs " (Maxou, Guillaume et Anthony), je squatte une de ligne d'eau du bassin du jardin (25m). Pendant une petite heure, nous allons alterner brasse coulée, crawl et même un peu de papillon. Je suis content car j'ai retrouvé toutes mes sensations et non, je ne penche pas du coté de ma broche !  Anthony trouve même que je me débrouille mieux en papillon qu'avant l'accident. Probablement un effet collatéral à mes mois de travail du seul haut de mon corps.

Une serviette autour du cou, je les quitte et monte au second. Mes 2 Lads suent sous les poids et les conseils de Ric. En riant je lui dis de ne pas les " casser " totalement s'il voulait les avoir dans le cul un peu plus tard.  J'enchaine avec une bonne demi heure de pecs et de triceps alors qu'ils passent sous les douches et vont se détendre dans le bassin d'à coté.

On se retrouve sous les douches. Un maillot sur le cul et nous remontons avec les quelques amis qui étaient avec nous.

Le soleil inonde le séjour. Le bassin de la terrasse est plein et du salon nous y voyons des jambes s'enlacer, des paquets grossir et même quelques glands dépasser des tissus.

Nos bites retrouvent de la vigueur et gonflent nos maillots. Ric, chaud lui aussi, demande aux deux Lads s'ils étaient prêts. Ils mettent quelques instants à comprendre, les yeux et les pensées encore captés par le spectacle.

Nous montons tous ensemble sur la terrasse/jardin. J'annonce l'exploit à venir et demande quelques volontaires pour la préparation. Ça se bouscule pour en être !

Finalement ils seront 13 à lui préparer la rondelle. Je décide de l'ordre de passage en fonction des largeurs des bites.

Ce sera donc Jean Black et ses seuls 5 cm qui lancera la performance. En plus sa superbe longueur préparera bien le boyau aux futures dilatations. Il en profite quelques minutes avant de céder sa place à Anthony, ce dernier prend son pied à enculer Ric debout en appui sur la sculpture. Puis c'est le tour de Julien qui aime toujours autant enculer que de l'être. Ses petits coups secs détendent bien le trou de Ric. G2 et ses 22x6 prend la relève. Il est suivit de nos deux espagnols Ernesto et Pablo qui alternent l'un et l'autre à chaque pénétration. Quand arrive le tour de Xavier, Ric se place en levrette, les cuisses un peu brulantes d'être semi pliées depuis maintenant plus d'une demi heure. Il encaisse les 26x 6,5 comme s'il le faisait tous les jours. En fait c'est le cas puisque son père continu à le sodomiser chaque soir de ses 27x7. Xavier s'éclate. Même si à la maison sa femme accueille sa queue dans tous ses trous depuis que je suis passé par là, il aime trop les culs de mec. A coté, Eric lui dit de bien aller jusqu'à l'os pour préparer la venue de ses 26 x 7. Comme beaucoup, la bite de Xavier s'élargie dans son denier cm. Eric ajoute même son majeur couvert de salive. C'est trop pour Xavier qui jute dans sa kpote, sous des lazzis " d'éjaculateur précoce ".

Eric, tout content, profite de la place laissée vacante. Il attend quelques secondes pour que l'anneau de Ric se resserre un peu. La kpote bien graissée, il s'enfonce d'un coup, propulsant Ric d'un bon mètre ! La bite noir ébène s'enfonçant entre deux fesses blanches dans une rondelle bien rose, est un spectacle superbe. D'ailleurs nous sommes tous à mater. Les Lads sont enthousiastes et attendent bandés comme leurs chevaux ! Bien que cela ne soit pas nécessaire, les prochains enculeurs sont stimulés par les mains ou même les bouches de ceux qui regarderont, tout comme ceux qui sont déjà passés et n'ont pas encore juté.

Eric laisse la place et va abriter sa queue au fond du trou accueillant de Jimmy nous les entendons jouir alors que le premier duo s'enfonce dan Ric. Il est constitué de Jona et François. Leurs 19x5.5 et 18x6.5 écartent la rondelle de ric qui me demande un peu de poppers pour aider. Pour  Maitriser la pénétration, Ric leur a demandé de se coucher bite contre bite et c'est lui qui s'assoit sur l'ensemble. Les plus jeunes qui n'ont jamais vu ça sont couchés sur l'herbe pour avoir les yeux au niveau de l'action. Leurs commentaires font rire les plus expérimentés. Il faut une bonne dizaine de minutes pour voir les fesses de Ric se poser sur les cuisses de mes deux escorts. Il y reste un instant sans bouger pour habituer sa rondelle à la nouvelle dilatation. Puis nous voyons ses quadriceps gonfler alors qu'il les sollicite pour relever son cul. Il est superbe dans l'effort. Les plus sportifs d'entre nous admirent l'animal.

Quand, après une bonne dizaine de minutes, il coulisse facilement, il nous réclame la nouvelle paire d'enculeur.

Marc se couche sur le dos et Ric vient s'empaler sur ses 22 x 6 très vite rejoints par le 21x 5.5 d'Hervé. Ce n'est pas la première fois que se les prend tous les deux. Il kiffe la position et sans fatigue se lime de lui-même sur mon mec et son pote.

Les 2 Lads qui sont les prochains et derniers sur la liste se demandent comment ils vont se le faire. On les entend discuter ensemble. Ils envisagent quelques instants de le prendre debout avec quelques acolytes pour soutenir Ric entre eux deux mais voient vite les inconvénients. Leurs bustes ne seront jamais assez écartés pour que les fesses de Ric descendent à fond. C'est ric qui leur impose la position. Vu les deux diamètres (6.5 et 7), il veut comme pour le premier couple pouvoir gérer lui-même. Mes deux Lads se couchent sur le dos jambes emmêlées jusqu'à coller leurs périnées. Je dispose leurs couilles afin de coller les deux manches l'un contre l'autre. Comme Lad 2 est plus par dessus, les deux glands arrivent à la même hauteur. Ils sont impressionnants ! Max, collé à moi, me glisse que ça ne rentrera jamais. Je passe un bras autour de ses épaules et lui dis de bien regarder, qu'après c'est son tour. Il s'écarte brutalement en me regardant effaré. Ceux qui m'avaient entendu sont pliés de rire.

Il revient se blottir contre moi et me rappelle tout bas que j'avais promis à son père de pas l'abimer. Je le rassure que c'était une plaisanterie.

Pendant ce temps, Ric, une jambe de chaque coté commence à descendre ses fesses. Il marque un arrêt lorsque sa rondelle entre en contact avec les glands, réclame plus de gel. Une fois la couche de lubrifiant renforcée, il pousse le temps de faire entrer les deux glands. De leur coté les Lads sont plus raides que de l'acier. Nous voyons Ric faire pivoter son bassin pour bien graisser sa rondelle. Puis doucement il s'enfonce le pal géant dans le cul.

Il lui faudra un bon 1/4 d'heure pour les prendre en entier. Ses cuisses sont rouges de l'effort réalisé et je demande à Ernesto de m'aider à le relever. Ric me remercie et me dit qu'il va " travailler " en retenu. Il va gérer la descente et nous devront le remonter. Nous le faisons avant qu'il se couche sur Lad 1 pour soulager ses jambes. Lad 2 bascule et se met à genoux entre les cuisses de Lad 1 pour continuer à l'enculer. Tellement excité par la situation inédite, ils jouissent assez vite. Je récupère un Ric sur les rotules exténué par l'effort demandé depuis maintenant plus de deux heures. Bien que bandant à mort, je m'occupe de lui, m'assurant que sa rondelle se refermait bien. J'attrape Max toujours collé contre ma jambe, le plie contre le rebord de la terrasse et l'encule direct. Chaud comme il était lui aussi, ma bite rentre comme dans du beurre (en moins gras !). Il gémit trop content de sentir mon gland défoncer sa rondelle (ou plutôt en réalité stimuler sa prostate). Je vois tous les autres décharger rapidement soit sous les coups de bite de leurs partenaires ou sous leurs coups de langue. De mon coté j'encule Max par petit coups sec, bien callé tout au fon de son trou tout en le branlant. Il ne faut pas 5 minutes pour qu'il me remplisse la main de son beau jus blanc. Je la remonte à son visage et il vient laper son sperme. Je lui donne encore quelques coups de rein alors que sa rondelle s'est bien contractée sous son propre plaisir avant de jouir et juter sans sortir. Mes mains accrochées à ses hanches fines, je le maintiens planté jusqu'à ce que je me sente mollir un peu. Il continue a serre son anneau alors que je sors et du coup même mon gland est nickel quand il retrouve l'air libre. Je le redresse, le fait pivoter et nous nous roulons un patin d'enfer.

Samir et Ammed apparaissent alors avec de grands plateaux de bouffe. Ils passent entre les corps allongés et les déposent directement sur l'herbe il n'est pas loin de 16h et les ventres crient d'autant plus famine que les efforts ont été intenses.

La terrasse prend alors des allures d'orgie romaine, moins les toges mais avec les gitons ! Certains dégustent même leurs plats directement sur le ventre de leur voisin.

Les plateaux se vident et nos deux serveurs doivent faire un second tour. Alors qu'ils sont félicités pour leur cuisine, ils n'oublient pas d'y associer Julien qui en a préparé plus de la moitié.

De mon coté de reçois les félicitations de ceux qui, d'habitude, participent à la touze du nouvel an que cette année j'avais zappée faute de pouvoir y participer.

La fin d'après midi retrouve un rythme plus calme. Les participants les plus lointains, nos lads, jules et nos gendarmes, nous quittent les premiers. Nos " médecins " partent ensuite devant prendre des gardes hospitalières ce dimanche soir. Second et Julien rentre chez eux, leurs métiers respectifs les font démarrer tôt le matin. Les autres trainent, d'autant plus que les années sont terminées pour les étudiants et que nos lycéens en sont à leurs derniers jours.

Enfin nous ne sommes plus qu'entre nous (Marc, Hervé, PH, Ernesto et moi) + Max qui semble vouloir prendre pension.

Comme Marc lui demande si ses parents vont pas s'inquiéter de ne pas le voir revenir, il nous dit que son père à toute confiance en moi et qu'il à la permission de minuit. Ernesto rit et l'attrape par la taille avant de l'assoir sur lui, le cul pile sur sa grosse bite en train de grossir à nouveau. Hervé le traite de chien en chaleur et nous dit qu'avec Marc ils ont à travailler un peu leur déplacement à venir. C'est une acceptation/bénédiction de nos ébats à venir. Nous restons au salon alors qu'ils s'isolent. Dès que le monte charge descend, le maillot de Max vole au travers de la pièce. A trois nous nous occupons de son affaire. Je lui roule une pelle alors que PH le suce et qu'Ernesto lui mange la rondelle. Il en sait plus où il est ! Mais il aime ça c'est certain. Nous le chauffons bien, il me repousse le temps de me dire qu'on peut faire ce qu'on veut.

Ça tombe bien nous en avions l'intention. Il bande ferme sous la langue de PH et ses 18cm sont plein de sang, le gland bien sorti de son prépuce. Coté pile, sa rondelle se déplisse rapidement, souvenir de l'après midi.

Me repoussant de nouveau, il me dit n'avoir été enculé ce WE que par des bites moyennes. Il n'avait pas réussit à se choper un TTBM ! A part la première pipe faite à Lad1. Je suis étonné car Xavier m'avait dit vouloir le tester. Je lui en fais part, nouvelle dénégation.

Ok et bien ce sera maintenant qu'il va tester le " lourd " ! C'est lui qui décide de l'empaler sur les 24cm d'Ernesto. Il me demande un peu de poppers mais se défonce le cul comme une reine ! Ernesto n'a quasiment rien à faire, mon petit Max s'enfonce tout seul ses 24cm de chair dans son boyau. Il y va doucement mais sans retrait aucun. PH l'encourage alors que je lui caresse les flancs. Il serre les dents une ou deux fois mais, vaillamment, s'enfonce cm par cm la bite d'Ernesto au meilleur de sa forme. Quand il sent enfin les poils du pubis d'Ernesto s'écraser sur ses fesses, il relâche son effort, trop content d'y être arrivé. C'est le moment que je choisi pour lui annoncer qu'il doit bien se roder dessus, qu'après avec PH nous allions le double sodomiser. Sans paniquer, je le vois accuser le coup puis, me regarder avec ses yeux à tomber, pour me dire que c'est comme je veux. Il est trop mignon celui là. S'il continu sur la même lancée je vais avoir du mal à m'en détacher ! Quand je quitte son regard, c'est pour voir dans celui de PH la confirmation de l'effet qu'il me fait. Me voila bien !! Je me connais, je vais vouloir l'avoir avec moi comme mon PH et mon Ernesto. D'un autre coté, il va me permettre de renouveler et rajeunir mon équipe d'escorts. C'est l'avantage. (Ho qu'il est vilain mon coté calculateur !!).

Ce soir là, je ne transformerais pas mon annonce en réalité. Alors qu'il se fait ramoner grave par Ernesto, PH et moi profitons de sa bouche et de sa gorge accueillante. Je vais même lui donner à avaler le meilleur de moi-même : mon sperme !

Ernesto se dégagera à temps pour tapisser son dos d'une bonne couche de protéines animales comme PH s'occupait de lui badigeonner les pecs.

Dans mes bras, il a repris doucement pied dans la réalité. Son petit nuage se diluant doucement. C'est par une grosse pelle qu'il m'a remercié de ce plan.

Comme il se fait tard, je nous pousse sous les douches communes du 3ème et rhabillés, je reconduis Max chez ses parents.

Evidemment, je tombe sur eux et ne peux échapper à un apéritif. La mère de Max qui n'est absolument pas au courant de ce qu'il y a d'extrascolaire à notre relation, s'enquière de notre WE. Son mari, qui lui le sait pertinemment, sans les détails bien sûr, me fait un clin d'oeil et détourne le sujet sur les progrès de Max en expression orale et écrite.

Sa femme embraye dessus. Elle est ravie de l'influence lénifiante que j'ai sur leur Max. Depuis que je l'ai pris en mains (sa propre expression), il n'est plus aussi agressif avec eux, il leur parle correctement et ils ont cessé de recevoir des bulletins négatifs du proviseur. Je me permets de passer ma main dans les cheveux courts de leur fils pour les ébouriffer avant de la laisser retomber maintenant mon bras sur ses épaules. Elle ne voit pas le sous entendu que son mari comprends, lui.

Je me lève les remercie et après qu'il m'ait fait un bisous sur la joue, d'une tape sur les fesses, j'envoi Max dans sa chambre. Sa mère n'en revient pas de ce que j'obtiens de son gamin. Pince sans rire, je lui rétorque " et encore ce n'est qu'avec quelques heures par semaine ". Il n'y a pas pire aveugle que les mères !!

[mariacallous]

On the evening of May 12, Keith Gill posted an image to his X account, depicting a man sitting forward in his chair. It’s a popular meme, used to say something like It’s time to get serious. Shortly after the New York Stock Exchange opened for trading the following morning, the stock for video game retailer GameStop was up by more than 50 percent. It was no coincidence. Nor was it when the stock plunged today, following lackluster earnings reported by GameStop and a rambling YouTube livestream in which Gill declared his continued faith in the company.

Widely known by the alias Roaring Kitty, Gill was one of the architects of the meme-stock craze of 2021, when amateur investors on the social platform Reddit worked together to drive up the price of GameStop and other out-of-favor stocks. The aim was to get one over on the investment funds that had bet against GameStop, one of which ended up losing billions of dollars. In this period, Gill became something of a pied piper for amateur stock investors, who chased him into the stocks he endorsed. The tweet on May 12, though cryptic, was interpreted by Gill’s hundreds of thousands of followers as a call to buy, sending the price of GameStop stock skyward again.

The tweet was Gill’s first in almost three years. But it was followed by a stream of memes and other shitposts, some of which made reference to GameStop. On June 2, Gill posted a screenshot to Reddit that appeared to indicate he holds $115.7 million in GameStop stock, as well as call options—contracts that confer the right to buy stock at a certain price on a certain date—worth $65.7 million. Despite today's stock price setback, he's still in the money.

Gill did not respond to a request for comment, but the livestream—his first in three years—offered some explanation for his sudden return. Appearing on camera, dressed inexplicably in a fake head bandage and Band-Aids, with his arm in a sling, Gill confirmed he was responsible for the content posted to his social accounts and that the positions detailed in his Reddit posts are genuine, before entering into a sermon on his GameStop investment thesis. “What can I say about GameStop?” he said. “I have a lot of the same feelings. I wanted to reiterate a lot of my viewpoints that I had previously.”

While demonstrating enthusiasm for a stock (or posting in a way that could be interpreted that way) is not itself illegal, Gill is playing a dangerous game now that his holdings are public. “You can’t trade and tweet. You just can’t,” says Lisa Bragança, and attorney at Bragança Law and the former branch chief at the Securities and Exchange Commission, the US regulatory agency tasked with protecting investors. “You are just inviting an investigation.”

In 2021, Gill was hauled in front of a congressional committee to account for his alleged role in stoking the meme-stock rally. In his testimony, he denied deliberately juicing the price of GameStop stock for personal gain. “The idea that I used social media to promote GameStop stock to unwitting investors is preposterous,” said Gill.

Gill did not face charges then, but this time could be different. The securities regulator for the state of Massachusetts has confirmed it is looking into Gill’s recent conduct, without providing specifics. It would appear that Gill is aware of the risk of provoking an SEC investigation. On May 16 he posted a clip of a CNBC interview in which Jay Clayton, former SEC chair, expressed the view that his conduct should not be tolerated. The SEC declined to comment on the existence of an investigation.

At the start of Gill’s YouTube livestream, a long disclaimer scrolled up the screen like the Star Wars opening crawl. “You should not treat any opinion expressed on this Youtube [sic] channel as a specific inducement to make a particular investment or follow a particular strategy,” it read. As Gill bantered with his YouTube viewers—all 600,000 of them—the price of GameStop stock briefly rose. “Shit, look at this. It’s going up,” he said. “Do I have to be careful what I say here? I don’t really know.”

It might seem self-evident that Gill’s posts, cryptic as they may be, have caused a rise in the price of GameStop stock from which he stands to profit, as a stockholder. But absent a full history of his trading, it is difficult to assess whether he has violated securities laws, says Richard Schulman, partner at law firm Adler & Stachenfeld. “It’s never entirely clear until the facts are fully formed,” he says.

But Gill has given regulators plenty to dig into. “Was his purpose to influence the movement of stock price? Did he, in fact, affect demand for the stock? Will he profit from these activities? These are the kinds of issues a regulator will want to investigate,” says Schulman. The answers could determine whether Gill faces a formal investigation.

Specifically, Gill could find himself in trouble when his call options expire on June 21, leaving him with a decision: Should he sell his options at a profit, if the stock price remains high, or take delivery of the GameStop shares they represent? Having made his position public, says Bragança, Gill is required under a little-understood facet of securities law to provide his audience with advance warning of any sales, even if doing so would jeopardize profits. “The problem is when you change your position,” says Bragança. “Before you sell, you’d better tell the marketplace. Most people on social media don’t think that way. The initial [social] posts are not the thing that is going to get him in trouble—it’s the stuff we can’t see.”

Gill may question how his conduct differs from any other pundit who offers stock tips or chief executive who talks up their company. And he could have a point. There is an extent to which Gill is flirting with gray areas in the securities rulebook, devised long before someone imagined an influencer in a position to swing the market with a single tweet.

But the SEC has typically contended that the rules are sufficiently malleable to allow for mutations of age-old violations to be dealt with. “Market manipulation is not necessarily a rigid concept,” says Schulman. “The SEC is not unused to trying to apply concepts to new situations in the world that has developed.”

The SEC has not made public its thinking, but former chair Clayton, in the interview with CNBC, implied that the agency will be eager to prevent further volatility in the price of GameStop, which risks imposing large-scale losses on investors. One way to do that would be to bring cases against an individual that it considers has wielded social influence in an illegal way, with the aim of deterring others from doing the same. “It’s like Aesop’s fables,” says Bragança. “We’re telling a story. You should take a moral from it.”

L'antidote partie 2

Mulder ne perdit pas une minute. Son cœur battait la chamade tandis qu’il se rendait au domicile de Parker, à la recherche de ce précieux remède. Arrivé sur les lieux, il s’exécuta avec précaution, guettant chaque recoin, chaque pièce. Rien ne devait lui échapper, car ce qu’il cherchait semblait être le seul moyen pour la sauver. Les ombres dansaient sur les murs, et chaque bruit était amplifié dans le silence oppressant de la maison à présente vide. Mulder savait que le temps était compté, que chaque seconde comptait. Il fouilla les tiroirs, inspecta les étagères, les placards, sous le lit, derrière les tableaux… Rien. Pas la moindre trace de l’antidote. Mulder sentait la panique monter en lui. Où pouvait-il bien être caché ? C’est alors qu’il aperçut un petit coffret métallique sur l’étagère. Il le saisit et l’ouvrit fébrilement. À l’intérieur, un flacon en verre, étiqueté sobrement “Sérum X-23”. Mulder le contempla un instant, se demandant comment Parker avait pu mettre la main dessus et surtout pourquoi ? Mais peu importait, l’essentiel était qu’il l’avait trouvé. Ce fut presque trop facile. Pourvu que ça marche, se disait-il dans sa tête. Un espoir semblait renaître, mais il savait que le plus difficile à faire était de le lui administrer. Aussi, son optimisme fut de courte durée, car au même instant, des bruits de pas retentirent. Mulder sortit son arme de service par réflexe. Il le brandit devant lui tandis qu'il inspecta prudemment les alentours. Au bout de quelques minutes, les bruits s'arrêtèrent soudainement. Il sentit son pou s'accélérer brutalement, envahis par l'appréhension et la peur. Il tenta d'allumer les lumières pour y voir plus clair, mais le courant semblait s'être coupé. Mulder, entendu le bruit sec métallique d'une arme à feu tout près de son oreille gauche. L'obscurité qui y régnait ne fit qu’accroître l'angoisse du jeune homme. Il ravala avec difficulté sa salive avant de répliquer d'une voix mal assuré :

Qui est là ? Je suis un agent fédéral. Identifier vous !

Je sais parfaitement qui vous êtes agent Mulder. Navré, mais je ne peux pas vous laisser faire ça. Dit son assaillant.

Mulder osa se retourner pour lui faire face. Il vit avec horreur qu'il s'agissait de Raines. L’homme était plus sinistre que dans ses souvenirs, son visage émacié et ses yeux froids comme la glace lui procura des haut-le-cœur. Il reprit en le défiant d'un regard empli de haine :

Baissez votre arme où je vous loge une balle dans la tête. Menaça-t-il.

Le docteur Raines sourit, révélant des dents jaunies, il reprit :

Vous ne me faites pas peur agent Mulder. Cette affaire ne vous regarde pas ! Parker a toujours fait partie du Centre et elle le restera. Maintenant, donnez-moi l'antidote !

Je ne vous laisserez jamais plus lui faire du mal sale ordure ! Comment avez, vous fait pour vous échapper de cet institut hautement sécurisé hein ? Laissez-moi deviner. Vous avez marchandé avec ce fumeur, n'est ce pas ? Gronda-t-il, son poing se serrant involontairement.

Raines eut un rictus mauvais, il reprit :

Mêlez-vous de ce qui vous regarde petit insolant ! Je vous le demande une dernière fois. Donnez-moi ce flacon ! Exécution ! S'écria-t-il d'une rage folle.

Mulder sentit une colère incontrôlable monter en lui. Sans réfléchir, il se jeta sur l’homme, le plaquant contre le mur derrière lui. Le docteur Raines tenta de se débattre, mais Mulder était déterminé à lui faire payer son erreur. Il finit par atteindre sa gorge qu'il serra fermement entre ses mains. Mulder n'avait pas réalisé que son arme était tombée sur le sol durant leur altercation. Le jeune homme était à présent résolu à le tuer de ses propres mains. Le visage de Raines vira au rouge tandis qu'il étouffait sous la pression qu'il exerçait sur lui. Mulder afficha un air satisfait du fait d'avoir le dessus sur son ennemie aussi facilement. Il déclara, le regard fou :

Où sont donc passées vos capacités hors du commun ? Vous n'êtes plus qu'un vulgaire être vivant pitoyable et faible !

Mulder le tenait toujours aussi fermement pendant que Raines luttait comme il pouvait. Au bout de quelques secondes à peine, Mulder sentit son assaillant s'effondrer sous ses yeux, le regard vide. Pris de panique, le jeune homme recula de quelques pas avant de trébucher maladroitement contre un objet qui était tombé à terre pendant la bagarre entre les deux hommes. Il resta un petit moment à fixer le corps sans vie de Raines. Mulder ne parvenait plus à réfléchir de manière réfléchie. Après avoir vérifié que le flacon était toujours dans sa poche, Mulder regarda sa montre puis traîna le cadavre de Raines jusqu'à sa voiture en prenant soin de se faire discret. Il l'enferma dans le coffre avant de prendre la route vers un endroit plus sûr. Il s'arrêta près d'une rivière pour y jeter le corps. Mulder regagna sa voiture puis marqua une courte pause. Il tenta de reprendre ses esprits, le cœur battant à tout rompre, les mains tremblantes et en sueurs. Il contacta sans plus attendre le docteur Frost pour lui annoncer la nouvelle. Aussi, avant de reprendre la route vers l’hôpital, Mulder reçut un appel de l'agent Scully. Il décrocha en s'efforçant de garder un air posé :

Oui, qu'il y a-t-il Scully ?

Mulder ou est tu ? J'ai essayé de te joindre, mais sans succès. Je suis inquiète. Dit moi ce qu'il se passe ? Dit-elle d'une voix contrariée.

Mulder lui raconta toute l'histoire depuis sa venue dans cet hôpital à Georgetown, en prenant garde de ne pas mentionner sa brutale altercation avec Raines. Scully marqua une pause avant de répondre avec raison :

Je n'aime pas ça du tout Mulder. Tu sais tout comme moi qu'on ne peut pas se fier à cet homme. Réfléchie bien avant de faire quoi que ce soit. Mulder, il en est de la survie de notre amie.

Je suis parfaitement conscient des risques Scully ! Qu'est-ce que tu veux que je fasse d'autres ? C'est le seul moyen. Il nous faut agir et vite ! Chaque minute compte, nous n'avons plus le temps, je suis désolé. Il raccrocha après coup puis reprit la route.

Il se hâta de retourner à l’hôpital, le flacon toujours précieusement rangé dans sa poche. Le docteur Frost l’attendait, l’air grave. Mulder lui tendit le sérum, expliquant brièvement sa provenance. Le médecin hocha la tête, reconnaissant.

Nous devons agir vite, dit-il. Les effets du traitement s'amenuisent. Elle fait une importante rechute. Le système nerveux d’Andréa est déjà fortement atteint. Cette toxine a fini par prendre le dessus. Si ce sérum fonctionne, elle a une chance de s’en sortir. J'ai foi en vous Mulder.

Ils se rendirent dans la chambre de Parker. Elle était pâle, inconsciente, mais son souffle était encore régulier. Le docteur Frost prépara une seringue, aspirant le liquide du flacon. Mulder observait, le cœur serré. C’était leur dernier espoir.

Prêt ? Demanda le docteur avant de faire ce qu'il avait à faire.

Why are rain frogs so round? What's /inside/ of them around such an itty bitty skeleton?

So it turns out this is a really interesting question.

The first thing we must be aware of is that rainfrogs as we see them in videos of them squeaking are not quite the same shape as they are when at rest:

[x]

But you are quite right, they are very round. This is exemplified by the skeletal photo you refer to:

[X]

So what are we seeing?

Well, firstly, note that the body cavity in these frogs actually envelops the femurs, such that only the tibiofibula (fused in frogs) and the tarsals and metatarsals are outside the body. The arms are quite similarly enveloped, but a bit of the humerus does extend outside the body cavity too. This predisposes them to a rounder body shape.

Next, note the ilia - the U-shaped bone in the pelvic region. These in some breviceptid frogs are synostotically fused with the sacrum - that is to say, they are bound by bone-based connections to the bow-shaped vertebra at their tips. This whole joint seems to be quite smooth, and as a consequence, the back of the frog is quite smooth. The other thing we can see here is that the urostyle (i.e. the frog version of a coccyx) juts quite far beyond the ischium and pubis. This extends the body cavity beyond the hips. Note also that the pelvic girdle seems to be largely below the spine, rather than the typical position for frogs behind it and continuous with it. This makes the legs sit below the spine, rather than at its end, enhnacing the vertical roundness of the animal.

Next, let’s talk some soft tissue. Now, I’m not as familiar with soft-tissue in frogs as I am their skeletons, so you’ll have to bear with me a bit (rawr). Beddard (1908!!) studied the soft tissue of Breviceps verrucosus Rapp 1842. It seems that the majority of the body of these frogs is actually muscle. Beddard noted that muscles join the leg at the knee that extend into the body cavity, such that the inclusion of the thigh in the body cavity is further accentuated by musculature. The rectus abdominalis muscle is unusually large, extending from the lower abdomen up and around the sides of the body. Indeed, this large size appears to be the pattern with all of the major muscles, though in the throat the typical arrangement of large and small muscles is somewhat reversed. On the lateral side of the head, there is a substance that is not muscle, but appears to be loose tissue in which sits what is apparently the thymus gland.

There is a very large gap between the end of the urostyle and the anus (one fifth of the total length of the frog), in which there are almost no muscles, save for the one surrounding the lower cloaca. On either side of this area, between the posterior-most muscles of the thigh, lie two large ‘lymph-hearts’, as described by Beddard. These are between one quarter and one third of the total length of the frog. A further lypmh-sac sits between these lymph-hearts and the skin of the femoral region, and they are thus probably analogous to the femoral lymph-sacs of other frogs.

I find it interesting that Beddard (1908) did not mention any glandular formations in the dorsal region. As is evidence from many images (see below), these frogs are able to secrete a white, sticky, noxious substance from their skin (which they actually have to use during amplexus, as the male is too small relative to the female to mount her properly, and so he sticks himself to her with his glandular glue… kinky).

[x]

These glands do not apparently take up a great deal of the cutaneous tissue, and so I suppose are of no consequence to the size of the frog, especially relative to its enormous muscles.

The diet of these frogs consists almost exclusively of hymenopterans and isopterans (ants and termites). Neither of these insect groups are particularly fatty, so it is little surprise that their bodies appear to contain no large fat deposits - fatty bodies extend from the gonads up to the lungs and heart, but these comprise only a tiny fraction of the frog’s mass, and don’t contribute to the round shape. Instead, their bodies are extremely muscular, allowing them to be adept burrowers, ideal for their fossorial lifestyle.

So TL;DR: rain frogs are little balls of muscle (maybe the largest muscle mass relative to body mass of any vertebrate? science just doesn’t know).

Le temps des cites modernes et souvent d'HLM....Domy z panelu (1959) - 1er court métrage du cinéaste tchèque Jiří Menzel - Un documentaire sur la construction des logements préfabriqués Paneláky Prefabricated Houses. A student work by Jiří Menzel, filmed during his second year at the FAMU film school. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-2hXxJUn74" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-2hXxJUn74</a> Domy z panelu (Jirí Menzel, 1959) Prefabricated Houses. A student work by Jiří Menzel, filmed during his second year at the FAMU film school.  les grands chantiers 1955 1960s En France, la préfabrication va tout d'abord se développer dans le contexte de pénurie générale de la Libération. Dans un second temps, l'opération des « 4 000 logements de la région parisienne » en 1953 inaugure la généralisation de la préfabrication pour la construction des grands ensembles de logements en France. Le Bonheur est dans le béton - 2015 Documentaire réalisé par Lorenz Findeisen produit par Les Films du Tambour de Soie Le logement préfabriqué, victime de son succès en France, fut exporté en Europe de l’Est. Qui se souvient aujourd’hui que ces logements symboles de progrès devinrent, en pleine guerre froide, la marque de fabrique du collectivisme ? Jacqueline a 50 ans et vit à la cité des Courtillières à Pantin. Elle se souvient lorsque, enfant, elle quitta avec ses parents le « une pièce parisien » sans commodités pour un appartement spacieux et moderne dans cette cité. La cité des Courtillières est alors une cité pilote, censée réaliser le rêve d’une vie nouvelle dans une France qui manquait à la Libération cruellement de logements. Comme tant d’autres Jacqueline enfant ignorait qu’elle devait à Raymond Camus architecte génial, créateur du panneau en béton préfabriqué, cette invention qui promettait un futur radieux pour tous. Sydney, voisin de Jacqueline, se remémore lui, les bus remplis d’architectes venus d’Union soviétique pour visiter sa cité… La marque de fabrique du collectivisme Le logement préfabriqué victime de son succès en France est exporté en Europe de l’Est. Qui se souvient aujourd’hui que ces logements symboles de progrès devinrent en pleine guerre froide, la marque de fabrique du collectivisme ? Pour Julie, à Prague, ou Susanna à Berlin Est, l’arrivée du préfabriqué dans leur vie revêt une toute autre signification. Utopies sociales, idéologies politiques et avant-garde architecturale commencent à se mélanger. Le rêve du bonheur tourne vite au cauchemar… En République tchèque, l’antique ville de Most est détruite pour des raisons économiques pour être reconstruite grâce au panneau de béton. Au travers d’archives inédites et de témoignages des habitants, l’histoire incroyable de panneau en béton se raconte pour la première fois de Paris à Moscou, de 1950 à nos jours. Documentaire réalisé par Lorenz Findeisen, produit par Les Films du Tambour de Soie <a href="https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x413amo" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.dailymotion.com/video/x413amo</a> @ Petite histoire de la préfabrication Les violentes destructions de la Seconde Guerre mondiale ont contraint une bonne partie des pays européens à trouver des solutions inédites concernant la reconstruction. « Les guerres sont par exemple d’importants accélérateurs de l’industrialisation du bâtiment pour deux raisons au moins. La première est que l’industrie d’armement se recycle logiquement dans la production civile après les conflits ; la deuxième est que les territoires dévastés par les destructions, comprenant des villes entières, sont à reconstruire. » Franz Graf L’originalité de la première phase de ces reconstructions réside dans la dynamique expérimentale initiée par les gouvernements européens autour de la préfabrication, ainsi que l’explique Franz Graf [2] dans l’introduction référencée de l’ouvrage. Elain Harwood met en lumière les programmes de logements publics préfabriqués en Angleterre et Nick Bullock présente un focus sur les maisons-témoins préfabriquées de Northolt aux apparences ordinaires. Ce sont ces dernières qui vont inspirer le Ministère de la Reconstruction et de l’Urbanisme français pour ces chantiers expérimentaux de maisons préfabriquées. L’Italie, de son côté, se basera sur les maisons de Northolt et la cité expérimentale de Noisy-le-Sec pour concevoir le QT8 à Milan, laboratoire où sont construits des maisons-prototypes en relation avec la Triennale, ainsi que l’explique Francesca Albani. Les deux contributions consacrées à l’Allemagne de Steeve Sabatto et Silke Langenberg s’attachent plus spécifiquement à la dimension technique et aux systèmes constructifs inventés par Konrad Wachsmann en collaboration avec Walter Gropius et Helmut Spieker, semble-t-il sans lien avec les autres pays européens. Suite aux expérimentations, chacun des pays prend des voies sensiblement différentes vers le logement de masse. Si les prefabs anglais demeurent un élément caractéristique du paysage national, la construction traditionnelle, tout aussi rentable économiquement sera préférée. Le recours à la préfabrication concernera, avec davantage de bonheur, les écoles anglaises. En France, à partir de 1954, l’État fixe aussi sa doctrine : la solution au manque de logement se trouve dans la préfabrication lourde, ouvrant la voie aux grands ensembles. Et l’Italie prendra finalement un tournant bien différent en opérant un retour décisif à des techniques artisanales, exécutées à pied d’œuvre, afin d’augmenter l’occupation ouvrière. Mais un défi, tant collectif que particulier, est aujourd’hui à relever : comment rénover le bâti préfabriqué existant ? Les solutions dépendront forcément « de la valeur que l’on attribue à un patrimoine, surtout s’il est considéré comme ordinaire et diffus » [3]. Ainsi que le démontrent les cas particuliers ici étudiés, il n’y a pas de réponse préfabriquée, mais des réflexions et des histoires captivantes autant que singulières. Les héros de l’industrialisation face à la patrimonialisation Si les histoires architecturales racontées sont principalement européennes, il aurait été impensable, à propos de préfabrication, de ne pas mentionner les États-Unis et notamment un de ses représentants les plus populaires : Buckminster Fuller. Le texte de James Ashby [4] retrace l’aventure de la restauration de la maison Dymaxion (contraction en anglais de dynamic-maximum-tension), aujourd’hui exposée au musée Ford à Détroit. Cette maison devait « révolutionner l’industrie du logement après la Seconde Guerre mondiale » en proposant aux familles des habitations qui ne devaient pas dépasser le prix d’une Cadillac. Mais l’entreprise de Fuller fit faillite et il ne resta qu’un prototype, récupéré et transformé par l’un des investisseurs afin d’en faire son logement. Des décennies après, la maison est abandonnée et le bâti se dégrade : les héritiers finissent par faire don de la maison au musée en 1991. Mais six années vont encore s’écouler avant que le musée ne s’engage dans la restauration de la maison Dymaxion. Une équipe pluridisciplinaire va être constituée dans une démarche scientifique, avec pour défi complexe d’être au plus proche de l’authenticité d’une expérience architecturale inachevée. Portes du pavillon du centenaire de l’aluminium, page 107 du catalogue de vente Artcurial des 23 et 24 novembre 2010 Autre héros de la préfabrication, notre Jean Prouvé hexagonal. L’article de Richard Klein [5], « Le pavillon du centenaire de l’aluminium, un patrimoine en pièce », présente différents paradoxes patrimoniaux lié à cet édifice nomade, le caractère véhiculaire était bien souvent intrinsèque aux constructions de Prouvé. L’auteur part ici de la controverse apparue suite à la mise en vente d’un ensemble de portes et d’un panneau provenant du pavillon du centenaire de l’aluminium, construction protégée au titre des Monuments historiques. Outre les remarques concernant la place des collectionneurs de Prouvé, la question de l’intégrité de l’édifice est passionnante. En effet, le bâtiment, tel qu’il a été remonté à Villepinte, a été réduit par rapport à son implantation initiale. Dès lors, Richard Klein pose la question : « comment envisager la question de l’intégrité d’un édifice dont les dimensions peuvent être considérées comme variables ? » Les problèmes patrimoniaux liés à ce pavillon semblent sans fin, reflétant la complexité de la situation. Un dernier exemple : l’édifice s’étant déplacé de Lille à Villepinte, son périmètre de protection s’est-il déplacé avec lui ? Parmi les autres cas d’études intelligemment présentés : la construction inachevée de Claude Prouvé, véritable ruine de science-fiction ou encore les péripéties patrimoniales de la CAF du XVe arrondissement à Paris, « l’unique bâtiment en France qui a fait l’objet d’un déclassement du statut de Monument historique ». Dénouement Face à des bâtiments qui ne correspondent plus aux besoins contemporains ou qui se sont dégradés avec le temps, la dernière partie de l’ouvrage présente des projets de réhabilitation, transformation, rénovation, adaptation et sauvegarde. Le SHAPE Village de la Faisanderie à Fontainebleau, la transformation de la tour Bois-le-Prêtre à Paris, la cité d’habitation de Droixhe en Belgique, les bâtiments des frères Honegger à Genève, les immeubles de Triemli à Zurich : autant de témoignages d’une nouvelle réception de cette architecture préfabriquée qui eut longtemps mauvaise presse mais dont les qualités architecturales sont désormais reconnues par les architectes. Beaucoup militent pour les transformer en respectant les projets initiaux. Ces derniers textes, plus courts et moins réflexifs ont néanmoins leur place, présentant les directions actuelles et les problématiques quant aux projets de transformations. À la fin de ce copieux ouvrage bien documenté, si les auteurs n’ont pas épuisé la question de la sauvegarde de l’architecture préfabriquée, certaines énigmes de cette histoire architecturale qui parcourt le XXe siècle jusqu’à aujourd’hui piquent la curiosité. Des contributions passionnantes et une grande cohérence dans le contenu donnent à l’histoire de la préfabrication des allures d’épopée architecturale.

Navigatio Britannica: Planar Trigonometry

Chapter 4: Of Trigonometry, Sections I - V

The first half of this chapter is Planar Trigonometry, which I learned in high school and have used on-and-off ever since; the second half of this chapter is Spherical Trigonometry, which I know nothing about. Consequently, I’m dividing this chapter into two parts -- before we let John Barrow attempt to teach me spherical trig (wish me luck!), I want to do a fast recap of what he has to say about planar trig...

Section I: Definitions

Everything is defined geometrically, on the unit circle, via a diagram that I have yet to find in this scan. (Also, even if I do find the page, I don’t have much hope that it will have been scanned correctly, since Google’s scanning machine can turn pages but not unfold them.) Happily, Barrow is pretty good about describing his figures in enough detail that I can reconstruct them as I go, which is the only reason I was able to understand anything in this chapter.

Not many surprises here, although I did learn that cosine, cotangent, and cosecant are the sine, tangent, and secant of the complementary angle, and likewise that the tangent of an angle is called the tangent because its physical instantiation lives on a line tangent to the circle. Also, Barrow defines the Verse-Sine, which was new to me: geometrically, it is the part of the radius that isn’t the cosine. (Algebraically, it is 1 - cosine.) Wikipedia says the versine was important to navigation, so I assume it will come up later.

Section II: Geometrical Constructions of the Tables of Sines, Tangents, Secants, &c.

In which we are instructed to build ourselves a unit circle, mark it off in 1-degree intervals, and construct ourselves a... well, it’s gonna look a bit like a ruler, but it’s going to measure 1 to 90 degrees, on several parallel scales: chords, sines, versed-sines, tangents, etc. To make this thing, you use your compass and measure the length of a chord for a 10-degree angle, then mark it on your chords-scale, and label it “10 deg.” Repeat for the other 89 degrees, and ta-dah, you have a chords-scale! Then do it again for sines, versed-sines, tangents, and so on. When we get to actually solving trig problems, how to use this scale is one of the three standard methods that Barrow is going to teach us.

Section III: Arithmetical Constructions of the Tables of Sines, &c.

First off, Barrow reassures us this is going to be easy-peasy, no need to panic -- which is our first cue that panicking will be required before we’re done.

But true to his word, Barrow starts out easy, using similar triangles to prove all the basic trigonometric identities: tan = sin/cos, sec = 1/cos, etc. All well and good, except it’s all done in proportions and nothing is called out by name, only by referring to various line-segments in his nowhere-to-be-found unit circle diagram. All of which makes it difficult to absorb at a glance, but once you finish decoding everything this is basically just SOHCAHTOA.

Then he proves two variants on the standard trigonometric sum/difference formulas (although he expresses them as proportions and via verbal descriptions, talking about the means of equi-different angles and the differences between them): 

cos x = (1/2) (sin y + sin (y + 2x)) / sin (y + x)

sin x = (1/2) (sin (y + 2x) - sin y) / cos (y + x)

You can verify those via the standard trigonometric sum/difference identities if you want. (I did.) But they’re also pretty straightforward geometrically, if you take the time to very carefully reconstruct what his diagram must have been: in the end, it’s all just similar triangles. He then proves several corollaries -- which in hindsight are simple enough (just straightforward algebraic manipulations, multiplying everything by two, or both sides by the denominator), but sadly, I lost MANY HOURS to a rash of typos in them.

Then. 

Oh, then.

All hell breaks loose as he endeavours to prove that a semi-circle has an arc-length of pi. I admit to not following this bit: I haven’t seen Newton’s notation for calculus since I was seventeen, when that one weirdo physics professor used it in lectures, and I didn’t really feel like re-teaching it to myself for this. Nor did I really want to get into re-teaching myself binomial expansions. Also, the type-face on all the fractions in the expansions was super-squinchy to read, and you know what, fuck it, I think it’s well-established that a semi-circle has an arc-length of pi, let’s move on.

The point of establishing that a semi-circle has an arc-length of pi is so that we can calculate the arc-length of one minute (simply divide pi by 10,800 minutes, easy-peasy), which we will then use as an approximation of the sine of one minute. ... Which, okay, I suppose if your angle is small enough and your applications are practical enough you can get away with that? But it makes the mathematician in me cry, I’m just saying. (Even as I admit that you really can get away with it for most purposes: according to my handy-dandy TI-84 Plus, pi/10800 differs from sin(1′) in the ninth significant digit. But Dr. Roberts and Dr. Chrestenson would never have let me get away with that shit, never mind that I also have an engineering degree and thus should be okay with this kind of ruthless practicality. In my soul there is a mathematician and an engineer battling to the death over questions like these, you simply don’t know how much shit like this wounds me.)

Anyway, once I finally got over my fit of vapours...

Now that we have an approximation for the sine of one minute, we can calculate the cosine of one minute via the pythagorean trigonometric identity, and then...

And now I want to cry again, because now we get to build our table of sines (and along with it, our table of cosines), minute by freaking goddamn minute, by using the above equations like so:

2 cos (1′) sin (1′) - sin (0′) = sin (2′)

2 cos (2′) sin (2′) - sin (1′) = sin (3′)

2 cos (3′) sin (3′) - sin (2′) = sin (4′)

...

Continue until I cry blood and the seas boil dry.

(At one point Barrow admits that it’s possible to build this table in 5-minute increments and interpolate the intervening minutes when you need them. While this reduces the task to 1/5th of the original, I still want to hug and rock myself and cry.)

Happily, I don’t need to cry, because Barrow includes these tables in the book? But someone cried blood to make those tables, and John Barrow wants us all to know it.

Section IV: Actual Trigonometry Problems, At Long Last!

A ton of sample problems, all worked three ways:

Geometrically: Basically, use a compass and straight edge and your scale-thingie of chords/sines/secants that you made earlier, and draw a triangle of  the correct proportions. Then just read/measure your answer right off the actual triangle in question, ta-dah! No abstract math required, just pretty pictures!

Arithmetically: What you learned in high-school, using the tables that someone cried blood over but without calculators (although you can use logs if you want to skip ahead to chapter five for them!) God, it looks miserable and grindingly awful, and I admit I don’t have the strength of character to follow any of these calculations through to the end.

Magic, I mean, Gunter’s Scale: The instructions here are amazingly low-key -- use your chart-dividers (what tumblr calls a pointy-leg-man what it likes to make walk on tippy-toes across charts) to measure off an interval on one scale, and then drop that same interval across the appropriate second scale, and voila! You have found your answer!

Of course I wanted to know what this magical tool is!

Apparently it was a slide rule without the slidey parts -- you used your dividers to accomplish what the slidey bit does on a slide rule -- but with some extra scales especially chosen for the convenience of navigators. 

Apparently these things were so common among navigators that they were simply called Gunters, and I WANT ONE SO BAD. Here’s a nifty article about them, complete with pictures, and did I say? I WANT ONE SO BAD. I collect old-school mathematical tools and I WANT ONE SO BAD.

Ahem.

Anyway, Section V is more trig homework, except now we’re no longer dealing with right triangles. I admit it, I skimmed this like fuck.

And ta-dah! That’s Planar Trigonomometry, according to John Barrow in Navigatio Britannica, or, A Complete Guide to Navigation, pub. 1750!

Up next: Section VI - Spherical Trigonometry, what makes William Bush cry. Do I have the fortitude to teach myself spherical trig? PLACE YOUR BETS NOW.

Synopsis:

Sage Marston is the younger sister of John Marston, member of the notorious Van Der Linde Gang. After being separated as children, John finds his sister and invites her to run away with him and the gang.

As Sage quickly becomes a member of the family and valued member of the gang, she also falls in love with the charismatic leader, Dutch Van Der Linde. But little does she know, another member of the gang is falling in love with her, as well.

How will Sage cope with being a member of the gang? And what will happen when Dutch begins to lose himself?

Dutch Van Der Linde x OC Arthur Morgan x OC

Major spoilers for RDR2

Based on the awkwardness around camp the next day, quite a few people had heard Sage and Dutch last night, including Arthur. He spent most of the day avoiding her gaze, although he was friendly when they spoke.

Sage was helping Pearson with the stew once again. She sat peeling vegetables as she listened to Sadie and Pearson scream at each other, as usual. She no longer kept August with her when she was helping with dinner, as their screaming would wake him up and cause him to begin screaming every single time. Now, she left him with Abigail while she was working.

“If I don’t get out of here soon, I’m gonna kill somebody!” Sadie growled, holding a knife up to Pearson.

“And if you don’t stop hissing at me, I’m gonna kill you!” Pearson yelled back.

“Come near me, sailor...and I will slice you up!”

“You put that knife down or you’re going to be missing a hand, lady!”

Sage sat calmly peeling her vegetables as they went on and on. This was nothing new to her, it happened absolutely every day. She noticed Arthur walking over from the corner of her eye, looking up at him as he approached.

“What is wrong with you two?” he asked.

“I ain’t chopping vegetables for a living,” Sadie said.

“Oh, I’m sorry madam, was there insufficient feathers in your pillow?” Arthur asked, sarcastically.

“Look, I ain’t lazy, Mr. Morgan. I’ll work, but not this.”

“Well ain’t cooking work?”

Arthur followed Sadie as she stepped away. The two of them spoke, Sage keeping an eye on them.

“Is it really so bad workin’ with me?” Pearson asked, looking a little dejected.

“Of course not, Pearson,” Sage said, placing a comforting hand on his arm. “She’s just having a hard time.”

Arthur walked back over, Sadie behind him.

“You need anything, Mr. Pearson?” Arthur asked, “Maybe me and Mrs. Adler are gonna take a little ride. Sage, why don’t you ride along with us, too.”

“Yeah, sure,” Pearson said, as Sage stood up, walking over towards Sadie and Arthur. “Here’s my list, and can you post this letter for me while you’re there?”

“Sure. Come on, princesses,” Arthur said.

The three of them walked over to the wagon, Arthur and Sadie sitting up front and Sage jumping to sit in the back of the wagon. Dutch caught her eye as she jumped on, and she gave him a little wave, hoping that counted as letting him know she was going out. He looked displeased, but said nothing.

“So I’ve graduated from chopping vegetables to shopping?” Sadie asked.

“Shut your goddamn mouth,” Arthur grumbled. Sage stifled a laugh as the three of them headed out of camp and out into Rhodes.

“Where’s that letter?” Sadie asked, after they had been driving for a little while.

“Oh, you reading his mail now?” Arthur asked.

“Oh, robbing and killing’s okay, but letter-reading’s where we draw the line?”

Arthur said nothing, but reached in his pocket and handed her the letter. “Here.”

Sadie cleared her throat dramatically as she began to read Pearson’s letter. “‘Dear Aunt Cathy. I haven’t heard from you in some time, so I prayed to the Lord above that your health has not deteriorated further’...blah blah blah, it’s boring...Oh! Wait a sec, listen to this. ‘Since we last corresponded, I have traveled widely, making no small name for myself.’” The three of them laughed. “‘Before you ask, I am still yet to take a wife, but I can assure you it’s not for a lack of suitors.’”

Arthur was now laughing so hard he could barely drive the wagon, Sage about to fall off the back. She was happy Arthur had invited her along - it was nice to get to know Sadie, she had always seemed like someone she would like to get to know, but never had the chance to.

They pulled up beside the shop in Rhodes not long after, Arthur bringing the wagon to a stop and beginning to climb off.

“Alright, here we are,” he said.

“So? What’s the plan? I shoot the shopkeeper while you two-”

“Sadie!” Sage exclaimed, with a laugh.

“No! You insane?” Arthur asked.

“Well, I thought we was outlaws!”

“Outlaws...not idiots. We rob fools that rob other people. These people, they’re just trying to get by. So you two head on in there, and you buy us some food to eat. And no guns.”

“Are you sure?”

“This time. There’ll be time for killing soon enough.”

Sadie and Sage headed into the shop, while Arthur went off to the post office to mail Pearson’s letter and check to see if any mail had arrived for anyone. The two girls walked into the shop together.

“Hello ladies, how can I help you?” the shopkeeper greeted.

Sadie gave him the list from Pearson, and the shopkeeper disappeared to gather all of their supplies for them.

Sadie sighed. “I’d really like a new outfit.”

Sage, surprised that Sadie had even talked to her, was caught off guard. “What kind of outfit?”

“You know, a shirt and pants. Something easier to move around in, than...this stupid dress.”

Sage smiled with understanding. “Come on. Let’s go see what they’ve got. It’s on me.”

Sadie smiled, which was probably the first time Sage had seen the woman smile since she joined the gang. The two women walked over to the clothing and began looking through the options.

Eventually, she grabbed a yellow shirt and black pants with suspenders. “These might be okay,” she said.

“Well, why don’t we go try them on?”

Sadie nodded with a smile, and the two girls headed to the private changing room. “Will you, uh...come in with me?” Sadie asked.

“Sure,” Sage said, stepping inside and closing the door behind them. Sadie began to change from her dress into her new outfit.

“I’m…” Sage began, “I’m glad you’re here with us, Sadie. I know you’ve heard it a million times but I’m sorry about how you ended up here, but...it’s good to have you.”

Sadie paused for a moment, thinking about her words. “Thank you.” She continued changing. “I’m...glad to have met you, too.”

“I hope you’ll keep helping with the cooking. We can still do exciting things when the times come, but...I enjoy your company.”

Sadie smiled, despite herself. “I like your company, too. Makes working with ol’ Pearson bearable.”

Sage laughed. “He’s not so bad.”

Sadie rolled her eyes. “Oh, he really is.” She began buttoning up the pants. “So, you’re with Dutch, right?” she asked.

“Yes,” Sage smiled as she thought of her husband.

“How did that happen?”

“Well,” Sage began, “I joined the gang when I was 18. He just kind of started...being really nice to me, and paying a lot of attention to me. Then one day, he asked me on a date. A real date. It was...nice. We haven’t been able to go on many of those, even now. But he took me somewhere nice for our first time out together.” Sage smiled at the memory. “It went well, no one recognized him. It was peaceful. Then, a year later, he asked me to marry him. And, just about a year ago, we got married. Reverend Swanson officiated it, so it was real. We married under a beautiful tree by the river with all of the gang there. And again, it was peaceful. No one noticed us. Like things were just meant to be...right. For that day, at least. And then we had our little August.”

“And…” Sadie said, “Forgive me, but what about Arthur?”

Sage was taken aback. “What about Arthur?”

Sadie sighed. “He really likes you, Sage.”

Sage laughed. “No, he doesn’t.”

“Okay, whatever you say,” Sadie shrugged as she attempted to fasten her suspenders. “But I notice things about people. And I notice the way he looks at you. And...the way you look at him.”

Sage blushed. “There’s nothing going on between Arthur and I. We’re just good friends.”

“Okay,” Sadie said, dropping the subject. “Can you help me with these suspenders?”

By the time the girls had finished with the clothes, the shopkeeper had gathered all of their groceries. He offered to carry them out to the wagon, and they accepted.

Just as he was finishing loading the wagon (as Sadie berated him the whole time), Arthur exited the post office and walked back towards them.

“Why don’t you drive?” Arthur asked Sadie as he climbed up onto the front of the wagon.

“Okay,” Sadie said. Sage, who was sitting in the back amongst the groceries, helped her close the back of the wagon.

“Come on, lady, get a move on!” Arthur called.

“I like Sadie, not lady.” Sadie climbed up and began driving the wagon back to camp.

“So, you two get everything?”

“Yeah,” Sage said, “should be everything.”

“And some...new clothes, I see?”

“Don’t start,” Sadie said. “I can wear what I damn well want. Like I told you, my husband and I shared all the work. I wasn’t some little wife with a flower in her hair baking cherry pies all day.”

As the three of them talked, none of them noticed a man riding up on a horse next to their wagon.

“Hey there!” he called.

“Hey,” Arthur said, suspicion in his voice.

“What are you folks up to?”

“Just heading home.”

“You’re in Lemoyne Raider country. You need to pay a toll to pass through here.”

“Keep it cool, girls,” Arthur whispered to Sadie and Sage. “No, I don’t think so,” he said to the man.

“You don’t think so? How about you pull over right now?”

“Pull over?”

“That’s what I said.”

“Hey, how’s about this?” Sadie said, as she pulled out a gun and shot the man.

“Shit!” Arthur said, “Let’s get the hell out of here, go!”

Sage pulled her Schofield revolver out of her holster and began shooting at the other Lemoyne Raiders along with Arthur as Sadie drove the wagon away. She was never any less shocked at how quickly Arthur could take out an army of men, he was so skilled with his guns that it nearly scared her. She wasn’t so bad herself, she had been taught by Arthur and Dutch after all, but Arthur...he was something else.

“What the hell was that?” Arthur asked once most of the raiders had been dealt with.

“They was gonna rob us,” Sadie said.

“Well, you wanted to see some action lady, now you got your wish!” Arthur said as more raiders rode out from the trees. The three of them hopped off the wagon, shooting at the men fearlessly.

“You okay, Sadie?” Sage asked as she shot at one of the men, the bullet going right through his head.

“Of course. You think I can’t handle these fools?”

Arthur took them out with headshot after headshot, the girls holding their own, as well.

“Told you I could shoot a gun, didn’t I?” Sadie asked proudly.

“I don’t remember asking you to prove it,” Arthur said.

Once most of the raiders were dead and the remaining ones were running away, Arthur ran over to the girls. “Are you two okay?” he asked, but his hands were on Sage’s shoulders.

“We’re fine, told you we could hold our own,” Sadie said, giving Sage a knowing smile.

“Yeah. We’re fine,” Sage said.

Arthur said with relief. “Good. Neither of you got hurt?” he asked, pulling Sage into a hug.

“No.”

“Okay then. Let’s get back to camp.”

Everyone jumped back on the wagon, Sadie grabbing the reins. “Alright. I’ll drive us back.”

“No, pass those reins here,” Arthur said.

“Why?”

“Because you’ve caused enough trouble already!”

The rest of the ride back to camp was thankfully uneventful. They pulled up next to Pearson’s tent and the three of them began unloading the groceries from the back of the wagon, as they spoke with Pearson.

“I would ride with you again, Mrs. Adler, Mrs. Van der Linde, if you will ride with me,” Arthur said.

Sadie laughed. “Maybe, if you prove you can handle yourself.”

“Well, they say I lack finesse, but I ain’t afraid of gun smoke.”

“We’ve got this from here, Mr. Morgan,” Pearson said. “And...nice pants, by the way, Sadie.”

//

“You left again without my permission.”

Sage sighed. “This again, Dutch? I didn’t bring August with me. And it was just shopping with Arthur and Sadie.”

“During which you got attacked by a rival gang!”

“And lived!” Sage pointed out, helpfully. “I was with Arthur, Dutch. You trust him, don’t you?”

Dutch looked away. “Listen, Sage. I just worry about you.”

“And I can take care of myself,” she said, placing a hand on his cheek, causing his gaze to meet hers once again. “You’ve got much bigger things to worry about than me.”

“I suppose you’re right.” He grabbed her hand, bringing it to his lips for a kiss. “Just be safe, Sage.”

“I will, my love.”
