Project Aces didn’t need to go this hard.

I dusted off my PS2 the other week and have been playing the Holy Trinity in glorious low-res on a HDTV (great for the eyes, I know).

Decided to peruse the ACZ Assault Records and holy fuck the writers didn’t need to go this hard.

168 individual assault records with names, callsigns, aircrafts, nationalities, ages, and brief blurbs of each pilot, alongside a status?

Allow me to share a few:

#26

Monika Starke

“Bachsteize”

27 Female, Belkan Air Force

F/A-18C Hornet

KIA - Operation Round Hammer, 24/09/95

After graduating from the Belkan Air Force Academy, she enrolled in the Belkan Air Force where, during the wat, her duty was to protect installations along the Futuro Canal. Her military record, along with that her brother Fredi Starke, was highly praised.

#42

Heinrich Koenig

“Anwalt”

29 Male, Belka

F-20A Tigershark

Shot down - Operation Varsity, 12/05/95

During the war, he joined Belka’s extreme right-wing party, but disappeared when a cease-fire was declared. Investigation into his whereabouts continues. Update: 05/97 - Anonymous information states that he is now a member of the terrorist organisation ‘The Falcons of Dawn’.

#126

Lina Dietrich

“Lilie”

28 Female, Belkan Air Force

YF-23A Black Widow II

Shot down - Operation Jupier, 20/06/95

A decorated female pilot whose expertise was to assault the enemy by descending very quickly from a high altitude. While in the BAF Academy, she single-handedly brought down her instructor. After the war, she was recruited to be an instructor at Osea’s Wesson Military Academy.

And here’s the thing, I AM STILL MISSING ENTRIES.

Of the 168, I am missing 26.

Guess this PS2 is staying hooked up for longer than I thought…

Poor information.. the truth in damascus

Last year I was sent a link to an article on Damascus by the author I believe the intent was some cross promotion, normally I am all about that.. how ever the Article was SO full or miss truths miss understanding and just plan wrong information I could not link my self with it. so I went through (at the authors request) and corrected the content.. I just check the original post , a few of my corrections were used but most were totally ignored..   so I decided to post the original and my corrections here, maybe someone can use that information. 

What is Damascus steel? The term has several meanings, but for cookware, modern Damascus steel is a type of layered material that’s simultaneously sharp, hard, and flexible. These are all valuable traits in kitchenware, especially when frequent high-speed work can dull knives and make them hard or even unsafe to use.there is no performance difference in modern damascus, performance is dedicated by heat treat and steel selection, damascus is pretty and a show of skill for the maker. 

I’ve evaluated many knives in the kitchen, but I’ve seen a lot of misunderstanding and misinformation about Damascus steel. Today, I’d like to correct some misunderstandings and talk about things like its history, what to look for, and what modern Damascus steel is all about.

Damascus Steel History

The metal we use today, modern Damascus steel, isn’t the same thing as the original metal that the name comes from. THis is incorrect, the name damascus has been used to describe steel with intentional patterning for centuries , 18c damascus gun barrels as an example are pattern welded.

“Real” Damascus uses Wootz steel, a type of alloy made from iron and wood chips that added carbon. The alloy usually had about 1% carbon, though it could go higher, making it very high-carbon even by modern standards.Wootz is a Made up word a poor translation/transliteration of a north Indian word meaning steel, in the modern knife community is refers to several types of steels that are hypereutectoid and show a watered pattern, it was never truly lost as Bulot is still being made in the old way in georgia and portions of russia, the west lost it and largely never really understood what it was. 

We roughly know the process for making Wootz steel today, but the original technique is lost and hasn’t been replicated fully since. Many scholars believe that genuine Damascus steel has certain impurities from the original iron ore that provide a specific balance to create better blades. There are several period descriptions of the process and it was made differently in different areas. There are a number of modernsmiths that are recreating the watered steel patterns. Wootz does not make a better blade than modern steels, it was a better material in that period when the alternative was bloomerly steels but those have not been used for over 100 years. 

The old types of Damascus steel have some of the same characteristics of modern-day blades, including sections that are sharp and brittle or softer and durable. Layering these sections together results in blades with all of the good properties and minimized negative properties, making them fundamentally superior to regular steel, much less iron or bronze. This is all wrong, the advantage of wootz over other period materials was that it is homogenous with small carbides that add in cutting ability.

The name itself likely comes from how Damascus blades and other equipment were made and sold in Damascus, currently located in Syria. The ore itself came in ingots from India, though. The name is lost in time this is one theory an other is it is an extension of the word Damascene a process of surface decoration common in the mediterranean, Some people prefer referring to it as Wootz steel to distinguish it from other metal items made and sold in Damascus. Many people also object to calling modern steel Damascus because it has different properties than the original blades, even if the surface pattern is similar. This is an argument that has no point , words mean what we think they mean in the knife world damascus means pattern welded steel, they are many subsets of this , IE canister damascus mosaic damascus multi bar etc. just as wootz has a specific meaning in the industry , academics refer to these materials differently and dislike the term wootz as it is a corruption of an Indian word that just means steel.. Preferring the more accurate local terms. 

 Damascus is also known in many languages as “water steel,” thanks to the ripple-like patterns on the blades. 

 How Is Damascus Steel Made?

Today, Damascus steel is made with several processes.The worst process is etching, which creates a ripple-like pattern on kitchenware. This is a cosmetic technique that doesn’t improve the actual knife, so I don’t think it’s worth looking at. However, it can be hard to tell if a blade is just etched or has solid ripples throughout, so amateurs often get fooled into thinking etched steel is real Damascus. All damascus is etched, it is revealing the difference in alloy of the steels used, if a resist is used it is not damascus. 

The cast Damascus process, a common technique, involves mixing iron and steel with charcoal under an oxygen-reducing environment. This believed to be  as close to the original process as possible. (steel is an alloy of iron and carbon. Wootz is made through controlling the trace elements and carbon content of the melt) The steel is then folded together in layers–creating the signature wavy patterns and increased strength.  wootz is never folded to make pattern the pattern is from chains of carbides that form in the steel  also called alloy or carbon banding. 

The other modern technique is known as pattern-welding. This also uses high-quality steel and iron, but instead of mixing the ores in a sealed environment, they’re hammered together at high temperatures to weld the metals together throughout the body. (Ores are never used in any for of wootz or pattern welding that is smelting and is a different process, rarely wootz is made by direct reduction from ore, but this is not efficient)

 Pattern welding gives the appearance of Damascus, but the primary quality of Damascus comes more from the metals than the forging process. Bad metal still produces bad blades, no matter how fancy you make it look. Some companies take things a step further by trying to create advanced alloys for casting or pattern welding. Creating these usually involves testing different ratios of impurities, which in this context means anything besides iron and carbon atoms. We often say that impurities are undesirable, but in metallurgy, they can add valuable characteristics. This is a misconception of the metalurgy involved. Metals used as alloy in steel and numerous all modern steels contain alloy other than carbon and iron. 

One of the most popular elements to add is vanadium. This atom is ductile and malleable in significant amounts, meaning it’s easy to shape and doesn’t break too easily. It also exhibits excellent corrosion resistance by itself. Vanadium is used because it is a strong carbide former and works to pin grain size, it makes steel finer grained to hold and keener edge. Nickel chrome are added for toughness manganese for depth of hardening . 

When present in the forging process, vanadium helps encourage the formation of bands of cementite in steel. Cementite is a molecule with three iron atoms and one carbon atom, and its presence is one of the primary components of the original types of Damascus steel. Creating the correct ratio of cementite in Damascus requires heating and cooling to specific ranges.(this is a misconception of what vanadium is doing, all steel forms cementite (Iron carbide) for a knife we don't want cementite we want martinsite Vandium forms vanadium carbide. 

Molybdenum is a frequent modern alternative. This atom tends to add hardness, toughness, and resistance to corrosion when it’s present at 1% or below. Molybdenum adds toughness I don't believe it will change corrosion resistance much, Nickel and chrome are generally added for that, not many knife steels use Moly as it increased ductility not a advantage in a knife

 Chromium is another impurity but is present in much greater quantities. Steel that’s 13% Chromium or more becomes stainless steel, which exhibits outstanding corrosion resistance and serves as the heart of many modern tools. Modern metallurgists often include several different impurities when making a steel alloy, then pattern-weld various alloys to create a Damascus-like blade. A key attribute for understanding the quality of Damascus steel is the Rockwell Scale. This is a widely-used rating for kitchen knives and other materials that indicates their overall toughness. Note that higher is not inherently better. Some people prefer the feel of softer blades, so you shouldn’t buy something based exclusively on this rating. Regular knives tend to fall in the 54-56 range on this scale. Premium kitchen knives can go as high as 66, which is noticeably tougher. Carbon steel can go up to 68, but most people don’t want to go that high because metal above 64 on this scale is probably brittle and prone to cracking. Hardness is not the same thing as toughness in a knife.65-67 is the max on most low alloy carbon steels , harder = a reduction in toughness but an increase in edge holding , it also changes the nature of the failure from being likely to bend to breaking (rolled edge vs chipped) 

Genuine Damascus steel from the past is usually 62-64 on the Rockwell scale, which is excellent performance. Modern versions of this steel are probably 58-60, which is still appropriate for most kitchen needs. Anything below 52 on the Rockwell scale is too soft for a kitchen knife, so you probably won’t even see those on shelves. wootz i have seen hardness testing on was mid 40 mid 50 HRC old french knives are high 40s most modern makers hover around 60HRC 

Modern Damascus Steel

Modern Damascus steel uses either the casting or pattern welding processes. Both of these produce viable blades for the kitchen, and they’re primarily the result of ongoing attempts to replicate the original high-quality blades.Etching is decorative and not true Damascus Steel. It’s just made to “look” nice.It’s worth noting here that Damascus steel isn’t necessarily the best option these days. The blades were exceptional for their time, but some modern options and alloys outperform Damascus. That doesn’t make Damascus a poor choice in the kitchen, but I want to dispel the mystique that it’s always going to be the best choice. That’s not true.Layering has a significant effect on modern Damascus steel. In most cases, having more layers is better, though it’s possible to go overboard and get so many layers that they’re functionally indistinguishable from each other. (layering only mattered when it was bloomerly based steel, now only what alloys are present matterns)

This type of Damascus steel mixes ingots of different characteristics to get a pattern weld, then folds it over to spread the characteristics throughout the knife better. A blade with several hundred layers is usually good enough for modern cooking. That said, steel with more layers often ends up a little thicker. Some people prefer fewer layers because that allows a knife to stay thinner and more flexible in the kitchen. Neither is the best choice for every chef, so the only way to decide between a thin blade and a thicker one is to test them out with your recipes.there is absolutely no truth to any of this. Higher layers= finer pattern lower layers=coarser pattern.. 

Advantages Of Damascus Steel 

The Damascus steel process has several advantages in modern kitchens. For clarity, most of these are well into the “optional” category for cookware rather than anything you absolutely need. Damascus steel, both original and modern recreations, has a distinctive wave or ripple pattern. Most people claim, and I agree, that this makes a knife look better and more interesting than having a single solid color along the entire length of the blade. Aesthetics matter in professional cooking, but they can also influence you at home. We like things that are fresh and new, but we dislike things that seem old or worn out. Top chefs don’t want to work in a cramped, dirty kitchen with a set of half-broken tools unless they have to. Damascus steel also tends to look nice when the knives are hung up or attached to a magnetic board rather than hidden in a cutting block. Here, I’d like to point out the distinction between laser-etching and true modern Damascus. Many knives sold as Damascus these days are purely aesthetic, with a surface-level treatment that creates a wave blade pattern. They’re functionally no different than a regular knife, so aesthetics is the only thing setting them apart. Almost any sort of knife can have a pattern like this, including high-quality carbon steel. Modern Damascus knives maintain this aesthetic but have genuine layers that give the knife different characteristics. This is harder to find but worth pursuing if you want anything besides a nice look for your knife. 

Quality Damascus blades tend to have high corrosion resistance. Since the blade itself has layers, any corrosion has to work through different materials instead of penetrating through one material. any non stainless damascus is just as prone to rust as any carbon steel.

 This is the other area where Damascus truly stands out because carbon steel, the main competitor, is a little vulnerable to rust. Carbon steel typically lacks a chromium content, which is the material that makes other types of steel resist rust. Kitchens can be quite wet, so there are some areas where carbon steel rusts out too quickly to be helpful. common pairings for damascus are 15n20 and 1084 or L6 O1  in both cases this is due to the Nickel and manganese continents of the two steels, chrome steels are rarely used as they do not play well with others being difficult to forge weld and being prone to cracking and warping in hardening .

 Some Damascus steel knives have a single hard center that gets sharpened, then patterns weld around the outside. These effectively sheathe the true knife and provide corrosion resistance, although their properties don’t continue into the blade.this is a japanese technique called SanMai (three layers) or GoMai (5 layers) not technically damascus

  Damascus blades tend to stay sharp for a long time. They certainly outperform regular steel, especially when the pattern welding extends down to the blade itself. This isn’t a minor consideration because sharpness is a significant factor in the kitchen. Sharp blades cut faster and easier than dull ones. That puts less stress on the chef and makes it possible to make more meals in less time. Home cooks don’t need to worry about this quite as much, but it’s still a good idea to sharpen your knives at least once a year. 

What To Look For In Damascus Steel Knives 

The primary things to look for if you want to buy Damascus steel knives are the metal content and the forging process. Remember, many knives sold as “Damascus” these days only have an etched surface. They’re just regular knives modified to look better and give you the impression that they’re somehow harder, sharper, or more durable than they are. There is a flood of junk knives on the market sold as damascus , many are made in the warzabad region of pakistan these are made from poor quality steel and generally of very low hardness, superficial etched knives are much rarer but are out there. 

Avoid knives like those unless you’re buying them as decorations, in which case they’re a cheap way to get an attractive blade. Pattern welding is generally better than casting, so knives made with this process usually turn out better. Make sure to check the overall structure of the knife, too. If the pattern stops before the cutting edge, the Damascus qualities are primarily decorative but offer some corrosion resistance. Almost no knives are made by casting.  drop forging is common as is stamping .

 If the pattern goes through the blade and it’s not merely etched onto the surface, you’ve found an actual modern Damascus knife. These are especially useful if you want a knife that’s just a little softer and more durable than carbon steel, complete with better corrosion resistance for working in wetter environments. My damascus chefs are harder than most commercial knives, geometry of the blade dictates cutting ability for more than hardness. Again miss conception of rust resistance. 

 If you’re looking for pure performance, though, a high-quality carbon steel blade outperforms any Damascus steel you can find on the market. Not at all true well made damascus will be 100% equal to a carbon steel blade and some of the newer stainless steels can out perform carbon steel 

Final Thoughts

You now know far more about Damascus steel, and especially how it affects kitchen knives. We’ve discussed the history of the metal, how chemical composition affects things, forging techniques, and even some processes that create “fake” (albeit attractive) Damascus steel. What I hope you learn from all of this is that it’s important to pay attention to the details when you’re buying kitchen knives. The forging process has a huge effect on the overall quality of a knife. Different people enjoy different things, so if you just want a cheap but attractive knife, that’s fine. Don’t hesitate to investigate a blade if you’re looking for quality or specific characteristics. If you haven’t tried a high-quality knife lately, go look for a true modern Damascus steel blade today and try it out in your kitchen. You might be surprised by how much better it cuts.

Day Seventeen of Steph's Christmas writing challenge. I fell behind on this because I was away for a few days. Hopefully it will be the only slip!

Marcus Pike x F! Reader. Set in the Duality universe but you don't need to have read that to read this. It does however kind of lead on to this little ficlet (Movies). Mentions of alcohol, little bit of swearing, some mild touching and kissing and references to sex. Word count: 999

Christmas Lights

"Three...two...one!"

The countdown ended with a flourish as the lights decorating the outside of the house came on in a riot of sparkle, colour and movement. They, plus the cup of mulled wine you were clutching, were helping to make you feel very Christmassy - a feeling at odds with the warmer than expected weather around you.

The invitation from Marcus's parents to spend Thanksgiving at their home in Texas had originally come the very first time you had spoken to them, but the details had been honed over the summer and now you were their guests as part of a Thanksgiving-leading-into-Christmas break that was also constituting part of the grand honeymoon spanning both North America and Europe that you and Marcus had planned together. It was wonderful to finally meet his family in person - they were so kind, so generous, so loving and welcoming and you felt at home almost immediately.

Being in Texas at this time of year was a brilliant but slightly bizarre experience - not only because of the blazing sunshine, 18C temperatures and the fact it didn't get dark at 3pm, but also because you had been put up together in Marcus's old teenage bedroom.

"Scully eh? So you always had a thing for the FBI?" you teased, nudging Marcus and winking at him when you saw the old poster on his wall.

"I wish my mom hadn't kept this room exactly as it was," he groaned.

"Hey, don't be embarrassed. She's one of my favourite characters and shes gorgeous. Lets just say that as a young person questioning their sexuality, watching the X Files with Mulder and Scully was an event!"

He smiled at you and drew you close. "Lets see what else my mom has kept in here. I haven't lived in this room since I was eighteen."

"Yeah, yeah, get your excuses in now, Pike," you joked, softening your teasing with a gentle kiss.

He held you around your waist from behind and you moved together around his room, taking in the snapshot of his old life - pictures of him and high school friends on the walls, framed photographs of him and his family against those weird marbled backgrounds professional photographers seem to favour, medals and trophies from his days of competitive swimming, posters and prints of works from Dali, Rambrandt and Warhol. It felt a little intrusive, even though you had been invited to be here. As if you were seeing the building blocks of the Marcus you now knew, a peek into what made him him.

"Oh wow," he exclaimed. "Did she even keep some of my clothes here? I loved this," he added, pulling a Boba Fett emblazoned t shirt from the recesses of a drawer.

"Try it on," you urged.

"I can say with certainty that it will not fit me," he scoffed. "One, I'm not a teenager anymore. Two, I exercise way less than I should. Three, marrying you was the best decision I ever made. But the fact that you bake for a living and I have very little self control? The days of a 32 inch waist are a distant memory!" He pulled it on anyway and it stretched across his broad chest and arms, lifting at the bottom to show off the line of hair leading south that always inexplicably did things to you. You pulled it tighter and higher, holding it around his torso and looked him up and down lustfully.

"Well, it wasn't on the list of what I thought I wanted in a husband. But I can say that you look damn good in a crop top!"

He chuckled at you and pulled you close. "I...uh...I never...how should I say it? I never got lucky in this bed-"

"Got lucky?" you giggled incredulously. "That's the phrasing you're going with?"

He studiously ignored your teasing and ploughed on, pulling you gently toward the bed in question. "But maybe...I mean...when everyone's asleep...we could-"

His invitation was cut short when he sat down on the mattress, causing it to squeak heavily and the wooden bedframe to bump noisily against the walls. You stood between his legs and watched his excitement turn to mild dismay before cupping his face in your hands. "Perhaps we'll wait till they're out. Correction-" you added softly, nuzzling his nose with yours "-with the way you fuck me, we will definitely need the house to ourselves. Maybe warn the neighbours too so they don't call the police when they hear the bed banging on the wall."

He grinned up at you and kissed you softly, his lips pressing more insistently after a moment and opening himself to you when he felt you nip at his lower lip. You gave yourselves over to each other, tongues tangling and softly exploring the other, your hands moving down his muscular shoulders while his trailed up the curves of your hips and waist, up still to cup your breasts and lightly trace his thumbs over your rapidly hardening nipples. "Well that's the thing," he breathed against your lips, "I just don't know if I can wait a whole week to have you again. I'm pretty sure the floor doesn't creak that badly..."

"Hey! Lovebirds!" Marcus's dad's voice came from downstairs. "Come down! We're nearly ready to turn the lights on! And there's mulled wine and hot chocolate too!"

You and Marcus looked at each other, giggling a little. "Mulled wine does sound good," you said. "Not as good as you, obviously. But needs must!"

He stood and held you close again, his hands now innocently stroking your back, but when he spoke his voice was low and full of desire. "Just know that I always want you. And if I have to make out with you in my car like a damn teenager, I will!" He kissed your hair and added "Maybe we can even get around to going to that drive-in movie we've been talking about..."

Forty-one months and I am beyond shattered. I keep telling myself that I’m at the lowest point, I can’t fall no more. But I keep sinking lower. Mum say out loud that it’s +18C without mentioning him. Is that my thing to say? Do I fail him by not telling them that it’s forty-one months today since my son died?

I was at a cemetery today. Walked the paths and saw lots of graves. Dad pointed out one that said over veterinarian. I looked at that grave as the flashbacks consumed me. I stayed silent for a long time after that grave thinking they’d care but of course not. I feel so drawn to certain graves, especially the abandoned ones where the weed is long, where no one have visited for many months. I walk over the hedge to some of them to stand and look. Maybe they feel that. That they have a visitor and are not forgotten by everyone. We have that in common. The abandonment. The sight of the returned graves hurts to see. They stand lined up against the wall surrounding the cemetery. They wait for something that never will come. I feel them. I also wait for something that will never come. The graves for the children have always held a special place within me. More so after T’s death. I saw one today. He became one, died in 2001, and an angel on his grave had fallen. I placed it right. His parents had not been there for over a month. I placed the angel right for them, and for their son. Perhaps they felt that. A warm feeling washing over them. Maybe they can’t go. Maybe it hurts too much. I can’t have decorations on T’s grave but it still warmed me to see that they can. None seemed to be missing.

Forty-one months today and I think about his mother. Is she with him? Do they play together? Did she felt it when he died? Or did he felt it when she died? Don’t cry mama bunny for none of it was your fault. Yes it was a genetic problem but it wasn’t your fault. Please mama bunny, hold T when he cries after me. I can her him so often. Oh mama bunny, when I finally come I’ll hug you both if you let me.

I really enjoyed Hollywood Studios, it was a lot of fun. The day tuned out to be quite cold (18c instead of the 30c+ we’d been having the previous week) so I’m glad I bought a sweater with me. The Disney World ones were $50USD! Which is crazy money for a thin sweater.

The whole place was decorated for Christmas, so everything felt really festive.

I went on the Hollywood Tower Hotel ride for my last ride. I love it when the elevator drops for the first time. It’s the most amazing feeling, because it’s terrifying, but so much fun. I know it’s safe, so I don’t need to be scared, so the feeling of dropping is fun.

I enjoyed my six days at Disney World. Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios were my favorites, the rides were lots of fun, and the shows were amazing. The food feels more expensive than at Disneyland the last time I was there, but maybe I’m just getting more stingy. $10USD for a tiny hotdog feels wrong. I also didn’t buy as many souvenirs as last time either, as everything was so expensive.

I’m already looking forward to coming back to Disney World one day. I’d love to explore the new Star Wars land, Galaxy Edge, when it opens. Maybe they’ll build a Marvel Super Hero’s Land one day too.
