A regular Thursday evening for a family living in north Edmonton quickly turned to terror as the Edmonton Police Service tactical team banged in their door. Alberta RCMP said officers believed there could be a victim held a gunpoint — but it turned out to be a false allegation. The frightening mistake happened Thursday, Nov. 2 around 5:20 p.m. at a home near 148th Avenue and 75A Street in the Kilkenny neighbourhood, and was captured on security camera video. The family didn’t know why there was an EPS tactical vehicle with ram rod knocking in their front door. At the same time, police stormed the home’s back door and three screaming teenagers were taken outside, where they were told to lay face down on the ground.

(OOC: Reposting the summary I made to stand on its own for people who caught bits of it but don't want to have to switch between several different blogs)

A THOR-class NHP named Arthur entered cascade in Harrison Armory's PR offices. He caused significant electrical damage to the offices but as far as I can tell no one was seriously injured, and the PR intern, Jimbo, managed to calm him down. The situation now seems to be resolved amicably.

Rev, an AGNI-class NHP implied that they caused Arthur to cascade. Recent comments by them suggest that they did this to advance the cause of NHP equality (forgive my rumormongering, but I have my doubts. Their omninet page contains a great deal of what seem to be boasts of war crimes and genocide, they don't strike me as much of an egalitarian. That said, my Loyal Wing tells me she's met and fought cultists who earnestly believe in a future where humans and NHPs are free to inflict horrific atrocities upon one another, so who knows. People are complicated. I'm also unconvinced Rev actually did cause Arthur to cascade, the manner they describe seems implausible.)

The Corsair Mercenary Company and the squad commander of the MSMC 796th, Kennedi/Lockbreaker, were angered by this claim. I'm not sure why this incident, which Jimbo resolved well before there was a actual fighting, prompted her to act independently, but there was some indication of the security breach having wounded her pride. (It is also possible that they were, in fact, being contracted by a HA higher-up and only pretending to act independently). She recruited another squad, the MSMC 148th, and they set out for Rev's abode in Karrakin space.

Rev caused the NHP at Corsair Mercenary Company, which named themself [STABBY], to cascade. [STABBY] then took control of several subalterns and systems and attempted to kill the CMC, inflicting a high casualty count before being shut down by MSMC 796th's "Slipshod" using a liturgicode virus. (Based on [STABBY]'s rapid decision to attempting to kill the CMC once given the ability to do so, even if during cascade, it seems likely that they did not have a positive relationship and allegations of abuse seem credible)

The MSMC squads arrived and engaged Rev's Genghis body and a group of Hercynian lancers Rev had recruited via Hercynian Refurbished Armaments. The battle ended with both Rev and Lockbreaker's mechs effectively destroyed, Rev's casket damaged and Lockbreaker in critical condition. There was significant collateral damage dealt to the planet, though fortunately no civilians, bystanders, or other innocents were harmed.

Albatross long patrol "Osprey" received several distress calls from the area and rerouted to investigate. When they arrived, medics were able to stabilize Kennedi and assess the situation. Rev was recovered by "an associate", the MSMC squadrons were able to contact command and get returned to headquarters, and I belive the Hercynians returned to Hercynia. After assisting local damage control and double-checking that no one was hurt, long patrol Osprey will be returning to their nearlight patrol route.

THE HOT MEDIEVAL & FANTASY MEN MELEE

QUALIFYING ROUND: 148th Tilt

Westley, The Princess Bride (1987) VS. Forge Fitzwilliam, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)

Propaganda

Westley, The Princess Bride (1987) Portrayed by: Cary Elwes

“He's the smartest and strongest guy in the whole movie, and he can do everything. But he's not just a champion, he's 100% devoted to the woman he loves. When he stares at Buttercup with the most outrageous blue heart eyes and murmurs "as you wish" I melt. And his accent is hot as hell.”

Forge Fitzwilliam, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) Portrayed by: Hugh Grant

"He's technically a DILF by way of pseudo-adopting a daughter after he got her father arrested so not a stepdad but the dad that stepped up!!!”

Additional Propaganda Under the Cut

Additional Propaganda

For Westley:

“When I first watched TV Princess Bride, at a middle school sleepover, we paused on Farmboy"s face, and left it there as we fell asleep. Have had an enormous crush on Westley ever since.”

“Show me an xennial woman who did not have at least a LITTLE bit of a crush on "eyes like the sea before a storm" Westley and I will show you a liar (and I say this as someone who grew up to realize that she had an even bigger crush on Buttercup, so.)”

“The way he says "As You Wish' had baby-me's heart all a-flutter before I even knew what that meant. And honestly the way he says every other line invokes the same mooneyes and sigh. He lives for True Love, he knows it is the most noble thing in the world! His speech to Humperdink is the greatest thing ever. What I mean to say is I braved the ROUSes for a glance at this man!”

“TRUE LOVE. Poisoner, duellist, cunning and fast and full of tricks and doing it all to save the girl he hasn't seen for years but still loves more than life itself what's not to love?? (As you wish.)”

For Forge Fitzwilliam:

(Excerpted from above propaganda) "Spoilers but Forge is a bad guy in the movie. That said, he's unfortunately very charming and I personally found it hard to hate him."

Blake: So, you’re stuck in a time-loop? For how long, as in how long before time resets, and how long have you been in the loop Jaune?

Jaune: Yeah, I am. Hmm, resets roughly every forty-eight days on the night of the vytal festival finally, and let’s see... I don’t know, lost count after the 148th loop, which was a long, long time ago.

Blake: That would mean you’ve spent over two decades at the minimum in this looping period! What things have you accomplish in that time-frame?!

Jaune: Ah, you know, I’ve been perfecting my recipes, without having to consult the book, and modifing them to get them just right. Then I sell them on the streets, and wait to see how long before any notices I don’t have a license and/or permit.

Blake: That’s it. You just cook and break exceptionally minor laws?

Jaune: I wouldn’t call them minor. Health and safety is incredibly important.

Blake: This loop is wasted on you. If I had all the time in the world like you do-

Jaune: You’d get bored even faster than I did. Speed-running the Relics and beating Salem in a day becomes painfully disinteresting after the fifteenth time in a row.

Blake: What?

Jaune: Oh, right. You don’t know about her, or those. Oop. Anyway, immortal witch-queen of the grimm and ozpins exwife that wants the destroy the world. That’s it in a nutshell. She’s troublesome at first, but she has no close-quarters skills, or ability to dodge. But, even she’s not immune to pepper-spray or pocket sand. Surprisingly low pain-tolerance to certain things, dismember her all you want, but hit her in the funny bone? Or, Charley horse? She does down weeping.

Blake: You’re delusional, this is just a trick.

Jaune: This isn’t first time you said that. But, regardless, Salem is boring. Trying to fight against time-loop and escape? Boring. Breaking laws that will hurt no one, because I’m a god-tier cook, and becoming ungovernable by law? Not boring.

The 72nd and 148th brigades are holding the line in Vuhledar, a once thriving coal town in Ukraine. Although it wears the results of Russian destruction, it is still a stronghold where Russian attacks have been repelled for over two years.

You can find the full video report here on the work the brigades do.
