The Jerusalem Post said the maritime corridor plan was Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s idea, citing an unnamed “senior diplomatic source.” Netanyahu had reportedly first proposed the plan to Biden in October, and pressed the issue again with the US president in January.“ This source, close to the prime minister, insinuated that Biden was simply implementing a plan by Netanyahu, not actually initiating anything new,” the Post reported. While touring Gaza’s coast in a naval vessel on Sunday, Israeli defense minister Yoav Gallant expressed enthusiasm about the plans of a maritime corridor. “The process is designed to bring aid directly to the residents and thus continue the collapse of Hamas’s rule in Gaza,” he said.

But why would Israel, the engineer of the Gaza famine, endorse the idea of establishing a maritime corridor for aid to address a crisis it initiated and is now worsening? This might appear paradoxical if one were to assume that the primary aim of the maritime corridor is to deliver aid.Palestinians in Gaza received the news about the planned port with fear and suspicion. Analysts have speculated that this could be a ploy to eliminate Egypt as an outlet between the Gaza Strip and the rest of the world, and sever the coastal enclave’s reliance on Egypt economically and politically by way of the Egyptian-controlled Rafah crossing – the sole point of exit and entry for most people in Gaza. This would ostensibly complete Israel’s control of the Gaza Strip without dependence on Egyptian cooperation, reliable as it may have been. Abdel Bari Atwan, a Gaza-born world-renowned Palestinian journalist, invoked the US-facilitated evacuation of thousands of Palestinian guerilla fighters of the Palestine Liberation Organization from Beirut in 1982 as an insight into what these plans could possibly suggest. Palestinian fighters were transferred by US warships off the Beirut coast to Cyprus and eventually to Tunisia. Atwan indicated that the maritime corridor would create a pathway for the forcible evacuation of Palestinians by sea. Other analysts have expressed similar fears.

Michael Fakhri, the UN special rapporteur on the right to food, slammed what he called “absurd” US plans for getting aid into Gaza, whether through airdrops or the temporary port. “From a humanitarian perspective, from an international perspective, from a human rights perspective, it is absurd in a dark, cynical way,” he said. Human rights groups have dismissed announcements of building a temporary pier as a distraction from Israel’s systemic and deliberate policy of starvation of Palestinians in Gaza. “The proposed maritime humanitarian corridor and temporary seaport is another tool to weaponize aid,” the Palestinian refugee advocacy group Badil said. It is meant to “absolve Israel of its responsibilities and obligations, and support Israel in its ‘day after plans’: to eliminate and replace UNRWA [the UN agency for Palestine refugees] and establish a potential mechanism for Palestinian forcible transfer out of the Gaza Strip.”

The Vatican: Human Trafficking Hub

The Vatican Underground- Cleared

The Dulce Base- Underground Cleared

The Area 51 Underground Base- Cleared

Orion Group ❌ (Defeated)

Ciakharr Group ❌ (Defeated)

Killy Tokurt Group ❌ (Defeated)

These are the three main factions responsible for the

The CIA is connected to the Killy Tokurt Ops. They are the one who specialize in soul scalping. This is how our government leaders were replaced. Removing the light body & soul and replacing it with a physical vessel void of any connection to source.

Sherry Shriner covered this in many videos/audios. Megan Rose spoke about this in one of her books. Corey Goode is also another source who spoke on the caste system of the Ciakharr who are the top elite in their race.

Remember when I mentioned that people were not ready once they found out who have been eating the children? Guess what was the capitol for the "Child Sex Trafficking" breeding hub?

The Vatican.

Do you remember the story or report that came out in July of 2019 where thousands of bones was unearthed in two ossuaries discovered in the Vatican City, as part of an ongoing search for clues into the disappearance of a 15-year-old girl more than three decades ago in 1983?

Do you remember the mass grave full of baby bones found along the shores of Israel's Mediterranean coast, in the ancient seaport of Ashkelon in 2014?

Do you remember An Indigenous group said the remains of as many as 751 people, mainly children, had been found in unmarked graves on the site of a former boarding school in Saskatchewan?

As a matter of fact that was a 2,300 page document that leaked that verified Pope Francis’ cover up of a Vatican Pedophile Ring. Did you know 20 Chilean Priests who went public on their connection to that very same Pedophile Ring, were killed in a plane crash right after their meeting with Pope Francis?

Back on July 20 2014 the International Common Law Court of Justice in Brussels found defendants Pope Francis Bergoglio, Catholic Jesuit Superior General Adolfo Pachon and Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby guilty of rape, torture, murder and the trafficking of children. (Nothing Is Happening?)

I highly doubt it.

Two adolescent women told the ICLCJ Court that Pope Francis raped them while participating in child sacrifices during the Springs of 2009 and 2010 in rural Holland and Belgium. According to a former employee of the Curia in Rome, rapes and murders of children also took place at the Carnarvon Castle in Wales and an undisclosed French Chateau.

A Prosecutor introduced notarized affidavits by eight others claiming to witness these same crimes organized by the Vatican. Another witness testified that they were present during meetings with the then Argentine priest and Bishop Francis and the military Junta during Argentine’s 1970′s Dirty War.

According to the witness, Francis helped traffic 30,000 children of missing political prisoners into the Vatican Pedophile Ring.

Do you know why this has taken so long? If you knew how vast these underground tunnels are you would understand why certain EOs signed by D. Trump kept getting extensions.

The Military at some point will disclose the battles that went underground.

The weapons used.

The strategies used.

The entries/exits used.

The medical technology used.

The portals/gateways that were used.

You got a glimpse of this during the fight that went on underground with the Phil Schneider lectures that still can be found on YouTube about the Dulce extraterrestrial confrontation that resulted in lives being lost and him being scarred from it.

People are only looking at the human aspect of this process. They are not looking at this as governments officials serving a unknown species that want world dominion who is an entire different secret government whose base are in these DUMBS-(Deep Underground Military Bases) who control all of our 3 letter agencies who are middlemen/conduits who these covert species use to control Washington. 🤔

How Do F1 Cars Work?: Setup pt 1

Alright, so I wanted to explore car setups and how they effect F1 cars. Enjoy!

So, setting up an F1 car is a very complex process, They have to balance numerous elements in the car to suit things like weather, track type, driving styles, etc. But what do they actually alter on the car? And how does it effect the driving?

Altered Components:

Aerodynamics - The easiest and most obvious adjustments are to the aerodynamics, like the rear wings or front wings. These are usually the ones chosen for change in aerodynamics, but they might also change the side pods or diffusers to effect the downforce of the car. They most often change aerodynamics for circuit styles. A tight street circuit will require higher downforce set up, as it gives them more control around the corners. A classic circuit will often switch to a low downforce set up, which gives them speed on the straights. Most teams try to have a good balance, however.

Suspension - Suspension settings control how the car responds to bumps and turns. Whenever they discuss a car porpoising too much, it is usually because the suspension set up is wrong. They change variables including ride height (distance between lowest point of car and track surface), camber (angle of wheels relative to the vertical axel from the front), toe (angle of front wheel when viewed from above), stiffness of springs, and anti-roll bars (parts that connect left and right suspension systems, which help control body roll). For example, cars can have negative or positive camber, which really effect things like grip, tire wear, etc. These aspects of setup are usually altered to suit a drivers style and preferences.

Tire Setup - This essentially envelopes tire pressure and starting temperature, which impact grip and wear rates. For example, lower tire pressure increases the grip, but leads to faster degradation. Higher does the opposite. This is usually altered depending on track temperature and style, or even ti make up for their weak areas. If they do not have good tire management, for example, they may alter the tire setup to degrade slower.

Differential - This controls the relative speed of the rear wheels, a big part of traction control. It is adjusted to either open or lock more. An open differential allows the rear wheels to rotate at different speeds, helping with corner entry but leading to oversteer a lot of the time. A locked differential keeps the wheels rotating together, offering stability on exits but leading to a lot of understeer. This is an aspect that is often changed to suit driver preference. Some can handle the oversteer very well, but other find understeer easier to deal with.

Brake Balance - This is the balance between the front and rear brakes, and is used to prevent lockup (when too much force is applied to the brakes, causing the disc to stop or rotate slower than the car's motion) and improve stability. This is altered by changing the bias, or distribution of braking force, and is often discussed in terms of percentages. More rear brake bias improves rotation in corners, but increases chance of rear lockup. More front brake bias stabilized braking, but can make turn-in more challenging.

Engine Mapping- This refers to the software settings in the car that controls how the engine delivers power. Things like throttle response, fuel injection, ignition timing, and turbo settings are all altered. All of it changes how a car accelerates, responds to stimuli, and consumes fuel. The different types of maps include qualifying maps (max power for short time), race maps (balanced and conservative), fuel-saving maps (usually end of race), and wet maps (softer throttle response, less sensitive car). ERS Deployment is a big part of this, and refers to the management of the kinetic and heat generators. They choose different ERS deployment depending on what they plan to do. For example, if they are planning on trying to overtake they will charge their battery and then use a lot of power to give the car a boost.

Gear Ratios - These ratios determine the relationship between the RPM (engine speed) and the speed of the wheels. There are eight forward gears in F1, and each one changes this ratio to some degree. The ratios dictate how much the engine must rev for the wheels to turn at a certain speed. The two major types of gear ratios are long ratios and short ratios. Long ratios reduce the torque but allow for higher top speeds, suited for tracks with long straights. Short ratios provide more torque which allows for faster acceleration, better for twisty tracks.

Setup Types:

While there are so many different aspects to set up, there are a few main types that most teams follow. Between them, a variety of factors change, but the core of them remains the same.

High-Downforce - One of the most basic set ups, it prioritizes grip on corners by increased downforce. Usually used for twisty, slow-medium circuits like Monaco or Singapore.

Low-Downforce - The other more basic setup, it lowers generated downforce to minimize drag and optimize for straight-line speed. It does sacrifice corner grip, so is best suited for classic circuits like Silverstone or Monza.

Wet - In wet races DRS is disabled, and drag is at an all time high. So teams usually focus on getting a huge amount of downforce, making car less sensitive, and making sure their tire set up is as grippy as possible. The differential is also changed, as drivers should be able to keep traction, ride height is raised, and suspension is softened. This is kind of a subsection of the high-downforce set up, though for different reasons.

High/Low Temp - Both hot and cold temperatures have massive impacts on F1 cars. So if they know they will have a race with an extreme on either side, the set up must be altered to reflect that. In hot Singapore, for example, they must lower tire pressure, change the camber, and boost the cooling systems to avoid overheating engine and degrading tires fast. In cold Montreal, tire pressures are raised, brakes are placed in different settings to keep warm, and the camber is also changed.

Alright, I will continue my discussion on setups in next post, as this one is getting quite long.

Cheers,

-B

⚠️ WARNING: GRAPHIC FOOTAGE⚠️ 🔞

[ 📹 Children are among those crushed to death under the rubble of their home after being bombed by the Israeli occupation army in the city of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, today. The Israeli occupation army began its Rafah operation last night by openly carpet bombing the eastern neighborhoods of Rafah City, killing and wounding dozens of innocent civilians.

📈 The current death toll in Gaza now exceeds 34'789 Palestinians killed and another 78'204 wounded since Oct. 7th ]

🇮🇱⚔️🇵🇸 🚀🚀🏘️💥🚑 🚨

ISRAELI OCCUPATION FORCES BEGIN "LIMITED OPERATION" IN EASTERN RAFAH AS PROMISES OF FULL-BLOWN INVASION CONTINUE WITH "GREEN LIGHT" FROM US ADMINISTRATION

On the 214th day of "Israel's" ongoing special genocide operation in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) committed a total of 6 new massacres of Palestinian families, resulting in the deaths of no less than 54 Palestinian civilians, mostly women and children, while another 96 others were wounded over the previous 24-hours.

It should be noted that as a result of the constant Israeli bombardment of Gaza's healthcare system, infrastructure, residential and commercial buildings, local paramedic and civil defense crews are unable to reach countless hundreds, even thousands of victims who remain trapped under the rubble, or who's bodies remain strewn across the streets of Gaza.

This leaves the official death toll vastly undercounted, as Gaza's healthcare officials are unable to accurately tally those killed and maimed in this genocide, which must be kept in mind when considering the scale of the mass murder.

The United States has given the "green light" to an Israeli invasion of Rafah, that's according to the Israeli occupation media today, which wrote that the "invasion of Rafah came after a message was sent to Egypt with full American coordination."

According to a report in the Hebrew media on the Rafah operation, "the American administration gave Netanyahu the green light for a limited operation that may last a few days in order to obtain a victory image that he could market to the ministers of the extreme right."

"The US will ban the transfer of ammunition and military equipment to Israel - if Netanyahu violates the agreement," the report added.

In response to the announcement, Egypt immediately condemned the operation, which resulted in the Israeli occupation forces taking full control over the Palestinian side of the Rafah border crossing.

In a statement, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said the escalation in Rafah was a "dangerous development" that threatens the lives of more than a million Palestinians who depend on the Rafah crossing as a lifeline for the Gaza Strip, and for the safe outlet for the wounded and sick to exit the enclave for treatment and for the entry of humanitarian and relief aid.

The Egyptian Foreign Ministry called on the Israeli authorities to "excercise the utmost restraint and to avoid brinkmanship with long-term impact, which would threaten the fate of efforts made to reach a sustainable truce within the Gaza Strip."

The Egyptian Foreign Ministry also called upon the international community to intervene and exert the "necessary pressure" to defuse the current situation and allow diplomatic efforts to achieve their desired results.

At the same time, China also condemned the Israeli operations in Rafah, calling on the Israeli occupation to "stop attacking Rafah" after the Israeli authorities announced they had taken control over the Palestinian side of the Rafah border crossing.

In a statement, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Lin Jian stated, "China strongly calls on Israel to respond to the great demands of the international community, stop attacking Rafah, and do everything in its power to avoid a more serious humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip."

The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson further said that China "expresses its deep concern over Israel's intention to launch a ground military operation against Rafah."

"War and violence cannot fundamentally solve the problem and cannot achieve real security," Lin added.

Immediately following the announcement of the "limited" operation in Rafah, widespread carpet bombing of Gaza's southernmost city began, with the homes and businesses of Palestinians targeted with American-made bunker-busting dumb bombs dropped by the Israeli occupation army.

During the assault, occupation forces bombed the residential home of the Al-Hams family in the Al-Geneina neighborhood, east of Rafah, obliterating the house and killing four civilians, followed by another IOF airstrike on the Abdel-Al family in the administrative district in central Rafah, murdering one family member and wounding a number of others.

Elsewhere in Gaza, the Israeli occupation army launched several raids on the towns of Beit Hanoun and Jabalia in Gaza's north, while Israeli air forces bombarded the Yarmouk area, east of Jabalia, and also targeted a home belonging to the Al-Durailmi family, in the Al-Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City, slaughtering three civilians and wounding several others.

Additionally, a Palestinian citizen was killed and others wounded following an Israeli airstrike on the residential home of the Bakr family in the Al-Shati Refugee Camp, west of Gaza City on the eastern Mediterranean shore.

Following the seemingly endless bombing and shelling of the Israeli army, local civil defense crews managed to recover the bodies of several Palestinian civilians found under the rubble of their homes, including the homes of the Abu Amra, Al-Shamali, Al-Hams and Abdel-Al families, all of which were bombed overnight and into the morning, killing dozens of citizens.

In the bombing of the Abu Amra family home, three civilians were killed, including a child.

Meanwhile, in yet another atrocity, IOF warplanes bombarded a residential home in the Tal al-Sultan neighborhood, west of Rafah, in Gaza's south, martyring five civilians and wounding a number of others.

According to sources with the Kuwait Specialized Hospital in Rafah City, at least 20 people were killed and dozens of others wounded in the overnight and dawn bombings of Gaza's southernmost city.

They said rescue crews, ambulance, paramedics and civil defense personnel recovered the bodies of four civilians, including two women, while another 18 were wounded, following the Israeli bombing of the Al-Darbi family home, in the Tal al-Sultan neighborhood, west of Rafah.

In further criminal attacks, IOF fighter jets launched airstrikes targeting the civilian home of the Al-Afifi family family, also in the Tal al-Sultan neighborhood of Rafah, wounding several Palestinians, while another airstrike conducted against a school sheltering displaced families in Gaza City killed one and wounded many others.

IOF aircraft further targeted a residential home belonging to the Al-Shamali family, adjacent to the Abu Bakr Mosque in the Brazil neighborhood of Rafah, killing and maiming several citizens.

Elsewhere, occupation forces focused their bombing in Gaza's north on the Al-Zaytoun, Tal al-Hawa, Sheikh Ajlin, and Al-Sabra neighborhoods of Gaza City, while another bombing targeted a civilian residence in the Al-Atatra area of Beit Lahiya.

In further assaults, an IOF attack helicopter of the Apache variety was seen opening fire on neighborhoods south of the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood, southwest of Gaza City.

Military and armored vehicles of the Israeli occupation forces have also been built-up just 200 meters from Rafah border crossing, some of which fired shells into the city according to some reports, while the Egyptian side said the occupation army was conducting limited operations near the crossing and would withdraw from its vicinity tomorrow morning.

As a result of "Israel's" ongoing special genocide operation in the Gaza Strip, the death toll among the local population has risen yet again, now exceeding 34'789 Palestinians killed, including well over 14'690 children and 10'000 women, while another 78'204 others have been wounded since the start of the current round of Zionist aggression, beginning with the events of October 7th, 2023.

Plan SL5 was initiated upon enemy engagement. The alarm triggered some hallways to close up, so Phantom had to go another way. We ended up having to call for back up. Mirage and Quake were the only ones in proximity. Despite the setback, we managed to secure our objective. The police came right as we were about to exit the area, but Mirage and Phantom were able to slip away before they were spotted. Good thing, too, otherwise we'd have to sit through another rant from the Commissioner about how vigilantes are "not supposed to meddle with hero work". I'm not in the mood for that today.

"Jesus loved everyone, but the insects loved me more..."

ANM №: ANM-627

Identification: Hive Man

Danger Level: Snit 🟡 | Contained ⭕️

Lead Researcher: Dr. Öctavio Kalev

Type of Anomaly: Human, insectoid, historical, military

Containment:

ANM-627 must be housed in a temperature-controlled containment chamber in Department-05, designed for insect-based anomalies, with an internal temperature maintained between 22-26°C and humidity levels between 50-60%. The chamber must be equipped with an air filtration system to prevent the escape of any insects from the subject. All personnel interacting with ANM-627 must wear full-body protective suits to avoid insect infestation. The chamber should be regularly inspected for structural integrity to ensure no cracks or gaps allow for a potential breach.

ANM-627 should be fed nutrient paste through an intravenous tube once every 48 hours. Interaction with ANM-627 is restricted to research personnel with Level 3 clearance or higher. No personnel should physically contact ANM-627 without prior approval. Any abnormal behavior or changes in insect population density must be reported immediately.

In the event of a containment breach, Subject P personnel armed with flamethrowers will be mobilized to neutralize all escaping entities. Recontainment efforts will focus on incapacitating ANM-627 using high-frequency ultrasonic devices to disrupt communication with the insects.

Description:

ANM-627, known as "Colony Man," is a humanoid male (formerly known as █████ ████), approximately 1.7 meters tall and weighing around 25 kg due to the skeletal state of his body. ANM-627 is in a constant state of decay, having undergone a remarkable and anomalous transformation wherein his body has become a living hive for insects, currently housing thousands of insect species, primarily beetles, ants, and wasps. Despite the extreme decomposition and mutilation, ANM-627 remains alive, though in a state of severe physical deterioration.

ANM-627's body is largely devoid of skin, muscle tissue, and internal organs. Most of his organs have been consumed by the insects inhabiting him, except for the brain, eyes, and a significant portion of the nervous system, which remain intact, though heavily deteriorated. What remains of his body is calcified bone, with the structure appearing fossilized and coated by a brittle, spiny substance similar to an exoskeleton secreted by the insects. Pockets of insect colonies are embedded within ANM-627's skeletal structure, notably in the ribcage, pelvis, and femur bones.

ANM-627’s mouth, now perpetually open, serves as the primary point of entry and exit for many insects, and his nasal cavity has similarly been hollowed out and repurposed as a conduit for insects. His appearance is deeply disturbing, especially to individuals with trypophobia (fear of holes or pitted surfaces) due to the numerous openings and cavities in his body where insects are constantly seen entering and exiting. Additionally, ANM-627’s insect-infested exterior is a source of extreme discomfort for those with entomophobia (fear of insects).

ANM-627 was first discovered in ████, Cuba, living in an improvised shelter within a garbage dump, subsisting in a semi-immobile state. Local reports indicated that ANM-627 had been seen wandering near urban waste disposal sites for years, but attempts to approach him failed due to the overwhelming swarm of insects that constantly surrounded him. Task force "Sewer Worms" was dispatched to handle ANM-627's retrieval after local authorities failed to relocate him safely, resulting in multiple fatalities caused by insect swarms.

Subsequent investigations revealed that ANM-627 is the former Cuban revolutionary █████ ████, a guerrilla fighter who assisted Che Guevara during the Cuban Revolution. Historical records indicate that ANM-627 was captured by Batista’s forces during the revolution, subjected to brutal torture, and used as a living host for insect-based torment over several months. His captors reportedly introduced colonies of carnivorous beetles, larvae, and other insects into his body as a form of enhanced torture. However, after a mass escape orchestrated by revolutionary forces, ANM-627 escaped captivity.

It is believed that ANM-627, severely disfigured and traumatized by months of insect-induced torture, developed anomalous abilities that allowed him to survive despite his grievous injuries. These abilities appear to be directly linked to the insects infesting his body, which now sustain his vital functions, using his skeletal remains as a hive.

Although ANM-627 exhibits constant physical pain, as evidenced by his hollow groans and occasional erratic muscle spasms, he has largely become desensitized to his suffering over time. ANM-627 is capable of limited speech and appears to have some degree of control over the insect colonies residing in his body. He has been observed giving subtle vocal or physical signals to the insects, which then respond by adjusting their behavior, including forming defensive swarms or retreating into ANM-627’s body cavities.

ANM-627’s ability to communicate with the insect colonies is still under investigation, but preliminary research suggests a form of neurochemical signaling or pheromone-based interaction. ANM-627 can also release insect swarms as a defense mechanism, overwhelming any perceived threats with sheer numbers.

Despite his grotesque physical state, ANM-627 has demonstrated a high level of cognition and retains fragmented memories of his life before the transformation. ANM-627 has referred to the insects inhabiting his body as "companions" and expressed a reluctant acceptance of his current state, claiming that the insects "saved" him and allowed him to continue the fight, though his understanding of the passage of time seems distorted.

Addendum 627-1: Interview Log

Interviewer: Dr. Ortega

Interviewee: ANM-627

Dr. Ortega: Can you tell us your name?

ANM-627: (in a distorted, raspy voice) ...█████... I was... that... once.

Dr. Ortega: Do you know what happened to you?

ANM-627: (pauses) The insects... they kept me alive. I didn’t want... but I needed them. They made me one of them... hollowed me out. Now I’m... a hive.

Dr. Ortega: Why did they choose you?

ANM-627: (shaking) I... fought. They tortured me... insects, crawling inside... eating me from within... but I fought... I got out. They stayed with me. (groaning in pain) Always with me.

Dr. Ortega: Do you control the insects?

ANM-627: (slowly, deliberately) They listen... they hear me. I... ask. They do what I need. They... protect me... they need me.

Dr. Ortega: Do you feel pain?

ANM-627: (long pause) Yes... but now it’s mine... we live with it. Together.

Dr. Ortega: One last question: Do you remember the revolution? Che Guevara?

ANM-627: (shaking, coughing) ...Che... we fought... for something... but now... all I fight for is them... and the silence. I know Che was killed... we failed... all together...

[End of Interview]

Addendum 627-2: Incident Report 627-A

On ██/██/20██, ANM-627 exhibited unusual behavior, with a significant increase in the insect population within his containment chamber. Several species of predatory wasps, not previously observed in ANM-627’s colony, emerged from his body and began attacking research personnel. After the initial swarm, ANM-627 was observed vocalizing loudly, causing the insects to retreat. This event raised concerns about the long-term stability of ANM-627’s containment.

Final Note: ANM-627 represents a unique and disturbing anomaly, merging human suffering and insect adaptation into a singular entity. Although the subject remains contained, further research is necessary to understand the full extent of ANM-627’s control over the insect colonies and how this relationship has allowed him to survive in his current state. The remains of a rebel may not want to attack, but his insects do. We hope they continue to obey him; we do not want another infestation issue like we had with ANM-284.

summary: falling, falling, falling- that's what you shouldn't be doing as a young intern at hybe. falling in love with your supervisor is frowned upon, especially all seven of them. you'll never learn, will you? guess you’ll just have to be their dark secret.

tags/warnings: intern!reader, poly relationships, stockholm syndrome, age regression, spanking, drug use, sugar daddy au, dubcon, body dysmorphia

Daylight slowly faded through the office window near your tiny cubicle. It had been your first day of work, and you couldn't believe how fast it flew by. Your computer clock only confirmed this- 18:57- long past your coworkers' traditional end of the workday. But not you, you quite liked the peacefulness of the office after hours. 

As HYBE's newest social media intern, you mainly took on the jobs that your managers didn't want to do- check emails, keep track of social media growth, the works. Today was spent giving you the social media passwords to Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and Weverse and training you on what to do. Of course, this was taught to you by a much older man- the head of the social media department. While you knew exactly how to operate online accounts and what a Tweet was, you allowed the head manager his time in the spotlight by making him think he was teaching you the hidden knowledge of the internet. 

You check Jandi, the office management system, to ensure you've done everything assigned to you today. Yes, you've logged into the platforms, filtered through comments and replies, and watched the mandatory entry videos for the company. All you needed now was to...

Call Park Jimin of BTS to remind him of his scheduled livestream on Weverse at 19:00. Shit. 

Panicking, you quickly picked up your black office landline and dialed the phone number in the computer's contact list. The phone rang for what felt like the whole three minutes leading up to the scheduled time. In reality, the idol picked up after only three rings. 

"Ah, Hello?" The smooth and silky voice said on the line. You wet your lips as nerves quickly sank in- you've never been good at phone calls. 

"Is this Park Jimin? I'm with the social media department for HYBE."

"Yes, it is. Is there a problem tonight?" 

"No, sir. This is just a reminder to be in the studio for 19:00. You have a livestream planned with managers Seo and Kang assisting you."

"Oh, yes! I'm currently in the studio waiting for the top of the hour. Thank you, manager-nim!"

Before you could correct him on your proper title, the line had gone quiet. You let out the breath you had been holding for what felt like ages before putting the phone back on the receiver. With your final task for the day done, you marked it complete before logging in your total hours for the day- eight. 

You stood up and started packing your backpack. Your phone charger, tablet, novels, and miscellaneous paperwork were packed up, and you placed your headphones on your ears before exiting the office. 

The BigHit social media office was on the tenth floor of the HYBE building, right in the middle of the office block. Thankfully, the elevators in the building are much more reliable and fast than the ones on your university campus. You managed to catch an empty one and pressed the button for the ground floor. 

Engrossed in your phone, you didn't even look up when the elevator stopped until you heard the ping, indicating that the elevator had indeed stopped. You checked what floor you were at- floor five- before looking straight ahead to see who was entering the lift. A tall man with a black cap, white face mask, and tan sweatshirt entered the elevator. Moving to the back left corner away from the control panel, you made a quick bow. 

"Hello."

The man walked into the opposite corner, also going down to the ground floor with you. He looked at you with wide, surprised eyes. 

"Oh, good afternoon," he said. He glanced at his phone before looking back at you. "I don't recognize you. Are you new?"

"Yes, sir. I'm y/n, the new social media intern for BigHit. It's a pleasure to work alongside you."

You could see his eyes slant slightly, showing that he was smiling behind the mask. He gave you a short bow before reaching his hand out toward you. 

"I'm Kim Namjoon. I'm sure you'll make our socials the best they can be."

Your heart skipped a beat; You had a member of the company's- no, the world's biggest idol group right in front of you, wanting to shake your hand. Timidly, you placed your hand in his, shyly shaking his hand. Namjoon chuckled, sensing your nerves. 

"No need to be shy. You'll do great. Can I walk you out?" He asked as the doors to the elevator opened, revealing the empty lobby. You gave him a smile and a small nod as you both exited the lift. 

"So when was your first day?" Namjoon asked. 

"It was today- I mainly did training and menial tasks." Namjoon gave a disgusted noise at your response. 

"That doesn't sound fun at all. Surely your work will get more fun as time goes on."

"Yes, sir. I'm sure it will. I will do my best to make you and everyone else look good online."

Namjoon gave a loud laugh at your response, further putting you at ease. He opened the side door to the parking deck for you, indicating for you to go first. 

"That's a hard job, y/n-ssi; Our career depends on it." 

Namjoon meant his words as a joke, but you couldn't help but have your smile falter as you gulped in fear. In reality, BTS and the rest of BigHit's public image depended on the competency you had at your job. In the back of your mind, you knew it wasn't solely your job, you had a whole team you worked for, but the thoughts wouldn't stop isolating you and solely making you the problem. You were so caught up in your thoughts that you barely comprehended Namjoon saying his goodbyes and walking towards his vehicle. 

Quickly, you snapped out of it, realizing that staring at the older man as he walked to his car looked a bit stalker-ish. You walked out of the parking lot and began your trek to your apartment. 

You were a recent college graduate, having had your commencement ceremony this past spring. You majored in Social Media Marketing with a minor in English and had quite the resume and portfolio following graduation. Over the summer you applied to job after job, but rarely received a callback or an interview. Smaller businesses and organizations passed on you, but you were shocked when you received an employment offer from HYBE after your second round of interviews. 

In typical internship fashion, it was an unpaid gig. They did, however, offer to pay for housing and gave you a monthly allotment of money for food. While you much rather preferred a paycheck, the stipends for housing and food allowed you to at least live in Seoul. It did not, however, pay to allow you to take a bus home. So, you had to walk the thirty-minute walk home every day. 

Entering your studio apartment, you sat your backpack down on the tiny countertop of your kitchen and slipped off your shoes. Your apartment was small and cheap for Gangnam, being only ₩300,000 a month for 20 square meters of space. This meant your kitchen barely had room for a table for one, your bedroom and living room were the same small room, and your bathroom held only enough extra space solely so you could stand in one place. It wasn't much, but living in Gangnam felt better than the farmland you had grown up in. 

Growing up in a small village outside of Gwangju didn't provide you with much of anything in life. If anything, your childhood consisted mainly of bullying and body issues. You were much larger than most of the other kids growing up, and even now you still leaned on the thicker side. Many strangers would stare at you with your larger behind, thighs, and bust with disgust on their faces- you weren't the beauty standard in Korea. However, while attending Chonnam University in Gwangju, you befriended a group of foreign students from America that would constantly hype up your appearance, telling you that any man in America would die to have a girlfriend with a body like yours. 

But you didn't live in America. You lived in Korea. 

Eventually, your American friends would graduate and move back stateside, leaving you to receive glares and offensive remarks with no backup. By this time, though, the confidence your friends provided you with was stuck in your head. Their words of 'you're just short, you don't weigh that much', 'your tits are killer', and 'I'd smack that ass' never left your conscience. To this day you don't know whether to laugh at the memories or appreciate them endearingly. You just decided to do them both. 

With water boiling on the stove for your instant noodles, you lay on your sleeper sofa and stared aimlessly at the chipped paint of your ceiling. Maybe someday you'll get rich and famous like Namjoon and Jimin and live in a luxury apartment, not a basement studio apartment for less than a week's worth of minimum wage.

Guaranteeing the States Protection Against Invasion

Issued January 20, 2025.

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby proclaim:

An essential feature of any sovereign nation is the existence of territorial boundaries and the inherent authority to decide who and what may cross those boundaries. The Supreme Court of the United States has described this power as a "fundamental act of sovereignty," which "stems not alone from legislative power but is inherent in the executive power to control the foreign affairs of the nation." U.S. ex rel. Knauff v. Shaughnessy, 338 U.S. 537, 542 (1950). The Supreme Court has recognized the inherent right and duty of the Executive Branch to defend our national sovereignty, stating that "[w]hen Congress prescribes a procedure concerning the admissibility of aliens, it is not dealing alone with a legislative power. It is implementing an inherent executive power." Id.

The Congress has, in establishing "an uniform Rule of Naturalization," created a complex and comprehensive Federal scheme in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. 1101 et seq., to control the entry and exit of people and goods across the borders of the United States. In routine circumstances, this complex and comprehensive scheme can protect the national sovereignty of the United States by facilitating the admission of individuals whose presence serves the national interest and preventing the admission of those who do not, such as those aliens who pose threats to public health, section 212(a)(1) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(1); safety, section 212(a)(2) (8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(2)); and national security, section 212(a)(3) (8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(3)). Prospective immigrants who use the visa system are screened for such health, safety, and security concerns while outside of the United States, and are not permitted to enter the United States until they establish that they are eligible to be admitted as a matter of law and should be admitted as a matter of discretion.

But screening under those provisions of the INA can be wholly ineffective in the border environment, where access to necessary information is limited for aliens who have traveled from countries around the world to enter the United States illegally, or when the system is overwhelmed, leading to the unauthorized entry of innumerable illegal aliens into the United States.

Due to significant information gaps -- particularly in the border environment -- and processing times, Federal officials do not have the ability to verify with certainty the criminal record or national-security risks associated with the illegal entry of every alien at the southern border, as required by section 212(a)(2)-(3) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(2)-(3). Nor do aliens who illegally cross the southern border readily provide comprehensive background information from their home countries to Federal law enforcement officials.

The public safety and national security risks in such an environment are heightened by the presence of, and control of territory by, international cartels and other transnational criminal organizations on the other side of the southern border, as well as terrorists and other malign actors who intend to harm the United States and the American people. And the risks associated with these issues are greatly exacerbated when the number of aliens illegally crossing the southern border increases to levels that prevent actual operational control of the border.

The same is true for public health, where the Federal Government currently lacks an effective operational capability to screen all illegal aliens crossing the southern border for communicable diseases of public-health concern, as required by section 212(a)(1) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(1). Effectively no aliens who illegally enter the United States provide Federal officials at the southern border with their comprehensive health information, as a lawful immigrant would. As a result, innumerable aliens potentially carrying communicable diseases of public health significance illegally cross the southern border and enter communities across the United States.

Over the last 4 years, at least 8 million illegal aliens were encountered along the southern border of the United States, and countless millions more evaded detection and illegally entered the United States. The sheer number of aliens entering the United States has overwhelmed the system and rendered many of the INA's provisions ineffective, including those previously described that are intended to prevent aliens posing threats to public health, safety, and national security from entering the United States. As a result, millions of aliens who potentially pose significant threats to health, safety, and national security have moved into communities nationwide.

The ongoing influx of illegal aliens across the southern border of the United States has placed significant costs and constraints upon the States, which have collectively spent billions of dollars in providing medical care and related human services, and have spent considerable amounts on increased law enforcement costs associated with the presence of these illegal aliens within their boundaries.

In joining the Union, the States agreed to surrender much of their sovereignty and join the Union in exchange for the Federal Government's promise in Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution, to "protect each of [the States] against Invasion." I have determined that the current state of the southern border reveals that the Federal Government has failed in fulfilling this obligation to the States and hereby declare that an invasion is ongoing at the southern border, which requires the Federal Government to take measures to fulfill its obligation to the States.

The INA provides the President with certain emergency tools. For example, it states that "[w]henever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate." 8 U.S.C. 1182(f). This statute "exudes deference to the President in every clause." Trump v. Hawaii, 585 U.S. 667, 684 (2018). Further, the INA renders it unlawful for "any alien to depart from or enter or attempt to depart from or enter the United States except under such reasonable rules, regulations, and orders, and subject to such limitations and exceptions as the President may prescribe." 8 U.S.C. 1185(a)(1).

Historically, Presidents have used these statutory authorities to deny entry of designated classes and categories of aliens into the United States through ports of entry. But if the President has the power to deny entry of any alien into the United States, and to impose any restrictions as he may deem appropriate, this authority necessarily includes the right to deny the physical entry of aliens into the United States and impose restrictions on access to portions of the immigration system, particularly when the number of aliens illegally crossing the southern border prevents the Federal Government from obtaining operational control of the border.

The INA does not, however, occupy the Federal Government's field of authority to protect the sovereignty of the United States, particularly in times of emergency when entire provisions of the INA are rendered ineffective by operational constraints, such as when there is an ongoing invasion into the States. The President's inherent powers to control the borders of the United States, including those deriving from his authority to control the foreign affairs of the United States, necessarily include the ability to prevent the physical entry of aliens involved in an invasion into the United States, and to rapidly repatriate them to an alternative location. Only through such measures can the President guarantee the right of each State to be protected against invasion.

By the power vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, I have determined that the current situation at the southern border qualifies as an invasion under Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution of the United States. Accordingly, I am issuing this Proclamation based on my express and inherent powers in Article II of the Constitution of the United States, and in faithful execution of the immigration laws passed by the Congress, and suspending the physical entry of aliens involved in an invasion into the United States across the southern border until I determine that the invasion has concluded.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Donald J. Trump, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including sections 212(f) and 215(a) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1182(f) and 1885(a), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, hereby direct as follows:

Section 1. Suspension of Entry. I hereby proclaim, pursuant to sections 212(f) and 215(a) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1182(f) and 1884(a), that the entry into the United States on or after the date of this order of aliens engaged in the invasion across the southern border is detrimental to the interests of the United States. I therefore direct that entry into the United States of such aliens be suspended until I issue a finding that the invasion at the southern border has ceased.

Sec. 2. Imposition of Restrictions on Entry for Aliens Invading the United States. I hereby proclaim, pursuant to sections 212(f) and 215(a) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1182(f) and 1885(a), that aliens engaged in the invasion across the southern border of the United States on or after the date of this proclamation are restricted from invoking provisions of the INA that would permit their continued presence in the United States, including, but not limited to, section 208 of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1158, until I issue a finding that the invasion at the southern border has ceased.

Sec. 3. Suspension of and Restriction on Entry for Aliens Posing Public Health, Safety, or National Security Risks. I hereby proclaim, pursuant to sections 212(f) and 215(a) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1182(f) and 1185(a), that the entry into the United States, on or after the date of this order, of any alien who fails, before entering the United States, to provide Federal officials with sufficient medical information and reliable criminal history and background information as to enable fulfillment of the requirements of sections 212(a)(1)-(3) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(1)-(3), is detrimental to the interests of the United States. I therefore direct that entry into the United States of such aliens be suspended and restrict their access to provisions of the INA that would permit their continued presence in the United States, including, but not limited to, section 208 of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1158.

Sec. 4. Constitutional Suspension of Physical Entry. Under the authorities provided to me under Article II of the Constitution of the United States, including my control over foreign affairs, and to effectuate the guarantee of protection against invasion required by Article IV, Section 4, I hereby suspend the physical entry of any alien engaged in the invasion across the southern border of the United States, and direct the Secretary of Homeland Security, in coordination with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General, to take appropriate actions as may be necessary to achieve the objectives of this proclamation, until I issue a finding that the invasion at the southern border has ceased.

Sec. 5. Operational Actions to Repel the Invasion. The Secretary of Homeland Security, in coordination with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General, shall take all appropriate action to repel, repatriate, or remove any alien engaged in the invasion across the southern border of the United States on or after the date of this order, whether as an exercise of the suspension power in section 212(f) and 215(a) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1182(f) and 1185(a), or as an exercise of my delegated authority under the Constitution of the United States, until I issue a finding that the invasion at the southern border has ceased.

Sec. 6. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or

(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.

(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twentieth day of January, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-ninth.

You knew it was going to be a difficult mission, but you and Jack made a great team and this was in part thanks to the language you had that no one else knew.

A simple tap of the wrist meant "lookout," while a subtle nod of the head to the right was "go ahead."

The idea had come on a day off so rainy that you couldn't get out.

Jack looked at you and tapped his wrist twice. You understood instantly: "Wait."

You stood motionless, watching the enemy patrol patterns, waiting for the right moment.

After a few minutes, Jack made a three-finger signal, followed by a chopping gesture with his hand. You knew that meant "three guards, neutralize." You nodded and braced yourself.

You moved through the dimly lit corridors, avoiding cameras and sensors.

When they reached the control room, Jack waved his hand at you, indicating "Wait." You watched as he manipulated the security systems, deactivating alarms and opening the necessary doors.

While you downloaded the information, he kept guard, suddenly, Jack gave you a signal: two fingers pointing to the floor, "Danger, down".

You both hid just in time; you were not discovered. Once the danger passed, you completed the download and gave him another signal: "Ready, go".

When you finally exited the site and were in a safe zone, Jack turned to you and, with a smile, made a gesture only the two of you knew: a hand over his heart and a little wave. "Mission accomplished, I love you."

Newest Resident

Bucky Barnes x reader

Just getting back into the swing of things, needed me a lil Bucky one shot ♥ (Yes, I'm still delusional and believe that there is a world where civil war didn't happen and they all get along. I need any string of happiness to grasp in this economy babe.) Nondescript as I could get on Y/N for openness on pronouns.

Warnings: Mature Audience 18+ please, also drinking

Bucky finally gives in and tells Steve he will move into Tony's place with the Avengers. He gets in touch with Tony's assistant Y/N who is in charge of the household accommodations and thinks to himself he should have done this sooner.

Masterlist

--------------

"I'm glad you're finally coming around, Buck." Steve chuckles, running up a set of steps towards Tony's office. "I'll have Y/N reach out they'll get you all settled."

He hears Bucky over the phone give a slight sigh, "I don't need someone to get me settled I just need a spare room to throw my backpack of stuff into."

"Believe me, you'll need Y/N. They'll make the process of moving in way easier."

"Fine." He can hear his jaw set. "Talk to them soon, I'll be heading that way." He hangs up and Steve knocks on Tony's door.

"Yeah?" He hears from inside as he opens the door. "What do you need Cap?" Tony looks up and so does Y/N as they type out whatever Tony was rambling about beforehand.

"I kind of need Y/N. Buck is finally willing to move in." Steve slightly shakes his phone.

----------------

You smile and finish typing your sentence before sending Tony the attachment. "Attachment is sent, I will start working with Steve right away to get Bucky accommodated."

Tony pops another berry into his mouth, "Don't forget security protocols."

"I am well aware the standard metal detector won't work for him." You allow a slight smirk before moving towards Steve and exiting the office hearing a slight smirk from Tony as well behind you.

"So, when are we set to welcome the Winter Soldier in officially?"

Steve raises his eyebrows and bites his lip, giving you a slightly sorrowful look.

"It's immediately isn't it." You give him a deadpan look.

"Probably a half an hour, given his speeding."

You squint towards him, "You do realize that you'll owe me."

"Doesn't everyone in this building?" He gives you a soft smile and you sigh slightly, rolling your eyes and getting as much info from Steve as he had.

You go down to the front desk lobby and alert security as you call housekeeping and order a room cleaned out not too far from Steve.

You start typing in his information to get his entry pass and ID added to the system and run to the housekeeping closet. Steve didn't know how much Bucky had in general so you thought the basics at least should suffice.

You tried to picture what a retired soldier from Steve's period would like and grabbed a basic group of bathroom needs. You also grabbed a room darkening set of curtains, a few extra pillows and a small basket of items from the kitchen as you didn't know if he had eaten for the day.

You went up to his room and logged into all of the accounts for the TV and added him to most of the streaming services as you assumed he would be similar to Steve in technologies sense. You put the extra items on his bed, bathroom counter and end table. You put a printed list of passwords and basic controls on the table as well as the wi-fi password and your contact information as well as housekeeping contacts.

Going back to the main lobby you pick up his newly printed ID just in time to hear a bike roar and a flash of light.

You walk around the desk to open the door for him as he gets off the bike and grabs a small bag.

"Bucky Barnes, I assume?" You flash a small smile and offer a hand.

He gives a slight nod and slowly shakes your hand clearly trying to assess you.

"I'm Y/N, I was told Steve was letting you know about me." You nod over to his ride, "Do you prefer to know where your bike is going or are you okay with one of us taking it to the garage?"

"Where's the garage?" He asks a little defensively.

"It'd be easier to show you around if you're up for it. I assume you won't want the whole tour but the garage, the way to your room and the kitchen."

Steve comes down, "There he is. I'm just about to take off but you take care of Y/N. They rushed around getting everything set up for you. They're also probably a better driver than you." He nods towards his bike.

"Improbable." Bucky responds and you give a smirk.

"So, garage viewing?" You walk over to the bike and throw him his helmet.

He catches it and gives a slight smile before Steve takes the keys from Bucky and throws them to you. You catch them with a slight smile yourself and Steve starts heading off.

"Catch up soon, man. Glad you're here."

Bucky looks back to you quickly.

"I won't force me driving yet if it makes you uncomfy. Just know it'll be a slow ride since you won't know where you're going." You hold out his keys to him.

"Keep em. Let's see this better driving." He slides his helmet on and fails to hide a smirk.

You get on and turn on the bike, "I hardly think a trip to the garage warrants judgement on driving but I'll take it."

He gets on behind you and you speed forward, feeling a rumble behind you as he rushes to grab onto your waist for support.

You follow the wind in the road to the second garage, knowing full well Bucky would probably prefer to not share with the dozens of Tony's cars. You get him into a parking spot fairly close to the elevator he can take up to his floor.

"Not too bad." He acknowledges and you write down the spot to add into his welcome binder.

"Watch the praise, it'll go straight to my head." You decide to tease a little. He gives another small smirk as you turn back to a guide. You showed him the elevator and took out his badge from your pocket to show him how to get to his floor.

"The most direct path, technically, cuts that way-" You point to the right, "However, if you would like to avoid the most commonly used open area you can go back this way." You continue straight. You get him to his room and show him how to scan his ID again on the door to get in.

"This should only unlock for you and housekeeping. There is a scan log in the system as well for your viewing available here." You show him a screen off to the side. He nods and bites his lip.

"I took some liberties as Steve wasn't exact on what you had or not." You point to the bathroom, "Basic items in there on the counter, the rest is on your bed or table. If you need additional items any resources you need are in the binder here." You lean into the binder and grab a pen from your pocket, "Parking spot marked here, and here is the most direct path on the map."

You straighten and look at him, "I know this is a lot and a big change for you. There are contacts in the binder in case you have questions or need something from housekeeping but I also have my number in there if you have questions." You throw him a soft smile as you see he's overwhelmed, "Believe me, there are not as many stupid questions as you'd think if you need to text or call me. I've logged Steve into the wi-fi more times than you can count and I've scanned Sam into the building since he never knows where his ID is. Getting lost is also kind of inevitable in this place too." You extend your hand again, "I'll leave you be, it was nice to meet you. Please reach out if you need anything, and welcome to the tower."

He smirks a little and takes your hand, shaking it. "Thank you." You nod and turn to walk out. "I do have one question," He says softly and you turn back to look at him. "How often are you here for these random calls?"

"I'm on the grounds, just a different floor if that's what you're asking. Calls and texts I can usually respond fairly quickly."

"And these Avengers call you for things?" He nibbles at his lip.

You flash your phone to him as Wanda texts you, "Looks like she is asking me to save her from a meeting with Dr. Banner." You giggle, "I really don't mind, I'm here for you guys. Maybe just make the after hours calls more urgent. I hope we'll talk soon." This time you make it out of the door and start down the hall towards Wanda's location.

--------------

Bucky turns to the now empty room, looking over the items laid out for him. He looks to the binder and types in the contacts listed for security, housekeeping and Y/N.

The next morning as he comes out of his room and walks towards the kitchen marked on the map he runs into Steve talking to Y/N.

"Morning," Steve smiles towards him and Y/N gives a smile before bowing and leaving.

"Hope I didn't interrupt." He looks after Y/N as they turn a corner.

"Absolutely not. I'll catch up with Y/N later, let's grab some grub." Steve pats him on the back as they walk to the kitchen together.

Later in the day, after Steve showed him where the gym was he got ready for a run and made his way towards the fountain. He had heard the Avengers were at a meeting and he was excused from those for the week to get used to the settings.

He started his lap and found a figure ahead of him to his surprise running as well. He could see the headphones in and tried to give some notice when he went to pass them.

They jump as he passes, hearing "Geez, you're as bad as Steve."

He realizes it's Y/N and blushes slightly with a smirk. "Steve normally pass you as well?"

"No, I generally outpace the super soldier." They tease him with a smirk, making him chuckle.

He's surprised he finds himself matching pace for a bit with them and both of them seem content with the silence and activity.

Back in his room after he showers and changes and turns the TV on. He takes out his phone and hovers over their contact.

He bites his lip and presses the button to call and before he can decide to hang up the call is answered. "This is Y/N how can I help?"

"Uh," His cheeks redden as he clears his throat, "Sorry to call, this is Bucky."

"Hi Bucky, don't be sorry. What's up?" The voice is light and cheerful even.

"It's kind of a stupid question but I'm not really familiar with this area, do you know of any good food?"

"That is a great question, not a stupid one. What kind of food are you looking for?"

"I'm open to most things but maybe just a decent burger to start out?"

They list a few over the phone before, "I think a few of the Avengers are heading out to Pete's Pub if you want the environment."

He gathered all of his current courage, "Is there anywhere you're heading out to tonight?"

A slight pause before, "I hadn't planned on it..." He kicked himself for the ask and then, "But I don't mind meeting you somewhere if you're okay with it."

-------------

"Come on, man it's been a month." Steve sighs as he throws a dart at Pete's. "You're on the phone with Y/N constantly and you can always tell when it's them because of your sappy grin."

Bucky blushes deeper and rubs his face before downing the rest of his drink. "I'm just asking questions about the building and stuff."

"How are you? I hope to see you here or there... Are you going to run again at the fountain today? Sorry to call you again but where is this?" Steve mocks. "Just admit it already you have feelings for them."

The door to the pub opens and they see Wanda and Y/N walk in, heading over to their table after Y/N spots you two. "Don't say a word." Bucky warns Steve and Steve puts his hands up defensively.

"How are you two?" Y/N asks as they sit down next to Wanda, across from Bucky and Steve. They meet Bucky's eyes and he blushes immediately.

Wanda gives a slight giggle before getting up to get a drink and asking Steve to accompany.

The rest of the night goes pretty well with conversation and he leaves a bit later to drive back.

He gets ready for bed and stares at his ceiling. Hours go by and he can't sleep.

His fingers are dialing Y/N before he realizes it.

"Hello?" A raspy reply.

"Shit, I'm sorry. Never mind, it can wait." He hangs up and feels immediate regret. He woke them up, what an asshole.

His phone lights up as they call back and he declines with a text, *Seriously, it can wait., Sorry again.*

He gets up to wash his face again and cool it down, when he hears a knock at his door.

"Y/N?" He opens the door and sees them standing there, his eyes running over them.

"Sorry, I didn't change." They respond, gesturing at their sweat pants and t-shirt. "What's going on, what do you need?"

"I'm serious it can wait, I just forgot what time it was." He bites his lip as he sees you in front of him.

"Buck I'm already here," They chuckle, "Can I at least come in while I wait for you to figure out your question?"

"That would be a bad idea," He is well aware of his tone going lower, softer.

"Why?" They look startled, a little hurt. "Did I do something?"

He shakes his head, "No, not really. I just need... something. And it's better if you aren't here right now."

They look hurt and he chastises himself for his wording. "What do you need? Can I grab it for you or get someone to?"

He catches his breath and shakes his head again, "Really," He pulls back into his room and goes to shut the door, "Goodnight, Y/N."

They block the door and touch his wrist. His heartbeat quickens and a flash of desire runs through him. "Buck," Their tone is low and it makes him want them even more right now. He backs up and leaves the door open, crossing the room to get away from them.

He hears them close the door and hopes against hope they are on the other side. A few seconds later he knows they have not left and is well aware of them behind him a few paces.

"What do you need?" Softly again.

"You." He almost groans as it escapes him.

"I'm right here, Buck."

"No, Y/N I want you, need you, in a very different way." He can feel them behind him again and he turns halfway. "So I need you to leave."

A hand goes to his shoulder and he turns fully, "Please, don't make this worse." He shuts his eyes.

"What way do you want me?" He hears from them and a rumble rolls through him.

He feels the hand on his shoulder make it's way to his upper chest and his eyes flutter open in question. He sees their eyes looking over him the way he looks over them.

His eyes flutter back to closing in disbelief as their breath is on his face and closing around his mouth. The moan into their mouth is guttural and almost against his will. They push him back a little and he leans against the wall, their hands in his hair and then pulling his hands to them.

"Is this real?" He whispers as they pull back to kiss his neck.

"As real as this," They graze his member and he shivers in anticipation.

-----------

He's almost scared to open his eyes in the morning, that it was just a very very dirty dream.

Then he sees the state of his room and knows that there was no way he did this alone.

He smirks as he reaches for his phone to call them.

They break in his room, their room and one of the work out rooms before they get caught and people know about them.

Which is probably for the best as Bucky can't get enough of them and can't keep his hands to himself.

"Bet you wish you got here sooner," Steve smirked.

"Better make up for lost time," He finishes grabbing two water bottles before his eyes go back to Y/N and darken. Y/N had taken some well deserved time off for them to fully explore each other, over and over again.

OC Heist Tag

Thank you for the tag @wyked-ao3 ♡♡

The question is: how would you (or your ocs) use those supplies to commit the heist?

So I'll be taking my OCs from my new WIP The Silence That Binds Us

This is a bit lengthy

Supplies:

- A length of rope

- A small mirror

- A vial of sleeping potion

- A lockpick set

- A piece of chalk

- A map of the target location

Rhenar's Heist Plan:

1. Scouting and Preparation:

- Map of the Target Location: Rhenar would first study the map meticulously, memorizing key exits, guard rotations, and possible obstacles. He would mark important areas with the chalk to keep track of his route and plan an escape route if things go wrong.

2. Infiltration:

- Lockpick Set: Using his nimble fingers and the lockpick set, Rhenar would quietly unlock a side entrance or window, ensuring no alarms are triggered.

- Piece of Chalk: He’d use the chalk to mark doors or walls along his route as a way to navigate quickly during his escape.

3. Neutralizing Threats:

- Vial of Sleeping Potion: If he encounters a guard or anyone who could potentially raise an alarm, Rhenar would either slip the sleeping potion into their drink or use a cloth to apply it directly, ensuring they’re knocked out without a struggle.

4. The Heist:

- Small Mirror: To avoid any direct confrontations, Rhenar would use the small mirror to peek around corners or into rooms before entering, making sure the coast is clear.

Lord Varyn's Heist Plan:

1. Planning and Manipulation:

- Map of the Target Location: Lord Varyn would study the map, but instead of just memorizing routes, he’d look for potential weaknesses in the security system. He might even use this information to blackmail or bribe someone into aiding his plan.

2. Setting Up Distractions:

- Vial of Sleeping Potion: Varyn wouldn’t use the potion directly; instead, he’d likely dose a high-ranking guard or an important figure to cause a distraction, leading to a chaotic situation where he could slip in unnoticed.

- Small Mirror: Varyn would place the mirror in a strategic spot to mislead the guards into thinking they saw movement, causing them to investigate the wrong area.

3. Infiltration and Sabotage:

- Lockpick Set: Though he may not be the one to pick the locks personally, Varyn would have an accomplice or perhaps Rhenar do the dirty work. He would ensure the most critical locks are already compromised, making entry easy.

- Piece of Chalk: Varyn might use the chalk to leave subtle, coded messages for his allies or even to mislead potential pursuers by marking false trails.

4. The Heist:

- Length of Rope: Unlike Rhenar, who might use the rope for escape, Varyn would use it to create a trap or bind a key target. Perhaps he’d set up a rope to trigger an alarm in a different location, causing the guards to rush there while he calmly walks out.

5. The Exit Strategy:

- Varyn would ensure the escape is smooth and controlled, possibly using his connections or the chaos he’s orchestrated to walk out without raising suspicion.

Refactoring/porting Nocti has been going well. Ive decided to add in an area that's not 100% finished but the way it's structured means that doesn't matter.

Porting the events has given me time to think about the story of Nocti and helped solidify where i want it to go. Its also made me realize that said story, the real "meat" of the game, is found by poking and prodding and showing effects to NPCs. This fits excellently with Nocti's theme but isn't everyone's cup of tea.

In an attempt to mitigate player frustration (and get people to see the stuff I've spent ages on) I've added features to hopefully make finding interactive objects easier.

The in game manual is there to explain the exploration/YNFG genre game loop and basic controls to new players. Interaction Indicators will either highlight objects when you hover over them or when you walk by, based on if the mouse controls are on or off. The symbol also changes to match the type of interaction.

Highlight Objects puts a white, slowly pulsing border on collectable or important objects like Effects and Orbs. Exit Arrows shows the location of more ambiguous transfer points on maps. These options are all off by default, but if you need a little help getting around or need extra clarification they're there for you.

I've tried my best to make as many accessibility options as possible given RPG Maker's limitations, so I hope someone can put them to good use.

There's also a character that serves as a diagetic Universal Hint System, but they aren't immediately present. There are currently two ways to unlock them early, and I changed the dialogue of the item for the easier method to make it clearer you are doing the right thing.

As a final note, I found out the Nocti has an article on the new YNFG wiki, but it is super out of date, mixing stuff from the Jam entry and the current build. I feel weird editing it myself as the creator, but I don't know how big of a following this game has. I don't advertise much, and it's been a long time since an update... If it comes down to it I'll update it myself but for now I'm sending out a call to action.

Thanks for everything! The Update is coming soon, I hope you enjoy it when it's finally out.
