##########################################

Dropping out of supercruise, transitioning to suborbital flight. The ship juddered under you, inertial dampers working to negate the colossal transfer of kinetic energy. The planet below was green. That alone would make you rich, finding a green planet with an oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere would run you hundreds of millions of credits in finders fees. Landing though, going down and doing the geology, collecting atmospheric and water samples, gathering plant specimens. That's where the real money is. The more data you get, the bigger your payday. A little more tedious than hunting bounties across the spacelanes, but a lot less likely to end with you reduced to a soup-like homogenate and spread across several cubic kilometres of space.

The landing was easy. Modern ships can stay hanging in midair for days at a time, held aloft on reaction thrusters burning stardust. Fuel is plentiful, cheap, and highly efficient. More than enough to get you to a gentle hover before landing, touching down on an outcrop and stepping out in an exposure suit. Atmosphere 18% oxygen, 80% nitrogen, a smidge of CO2, and about half a percent ammonia. An entire planet that stinks of cat piss. Marvellous.

You picked an igneous feature and got to mapping. A cross-cutting magmatic intrusion, visible through the strata and leading into a cave. You followed it, taking magnetic deflection readings to track any polar wandering or magnetosphere fluctuations. You didn't notice as the ferns and lichens gave way around you, phosphorescent fungi taking their place. You also didn't notice as figures moved around you, inaudible over the whirring of your breathing rig.

By the time you saw the first one, they were around you. Tall humanoid figures, overgrown with the luminescent fungus, a layer of glowing growth overtaking them. You turned to run, pulling your sidearm from its holster. You took a shot. It hit one of the figures. A patch of fungus seared away. Your blood ran cold. You could see a flight suit underneath. An older model, but you'd recognise the Pilot Federation crest anywhere, emblazoned as it was on every piece of hardware you owned.

Shooting wildly now. Hitting figures left and right. Every shot that connected burned away more fungus. None of them slowed down.

One grabbed your helmet. Inhumanly strong hands wrenched at it. More hands grabbed at the reinforced mylar of the suit. You couldn't move. You gagged. The smell of piss flooded your pure nitrox suit atmosphere. One had tore through. The suit material is designed to resist splitting, but a quirk of the design is that once a tear starts it's easy to pull apart. Theoretically it makes testing a suit faster. Right now it means your protection is rapidly being stripped away.

Every pull drew that split up further. Every jostle flooded your suit with more ammonia-laden air. You pulled your arm around, letting off one last shot into the face of the zombie in front of you. Its head popped like a mouldy balloon. You realised your mistake.

The wound bloomed with spores. Some burned up in the heat from the particle beam. Most hung in the air. The air in your suit turned musty. You choked on the spores as your filtration system clogged with them. A zombie pulled your helmet away from you, tearing it free from the last rags of your EVA gear. You held your breath. It didn't help.

The spores settled on your skin. Inside your nose. In the corners of your eyes. Your lungs burned. You tried to pull away from the zombies, leaving them with handfuls of torn suit as you moved. One caught your ankle, and you fell. You hit the ground hard, knocking the breath from you.

Your head spun as you gasped for breath. Animal instincts aiding the spores as they sought to take root in you. Every breath spread a warmth through you. Fear gave way to a calmness. Then a heat. Your whole body felt hot. Your hand wandered, drifting to the bulge growing in the front of your flight suit.

You fumbled with the closure of the suit. Every movement got you harder. Every breath making you leak a little more. You were getting close while barely touching yourself, half an inch of compression suit between your shaking hands and your aching cock. The zipper pulled. You dug yourself out. Gloved hands grasped and pawed at yourself. One hand juggling your balls while the other desperately jerked your leaking cock.

Your orgasm hit you like a train. Groaning and gasping you spurted your seed. Your hands didn't slow as the narcotic spores invaded your mind.

You could hear it. A thousand other voices in your mind. Each of them calling your name, drawing you in. All of them promising such release, such joy, if you'd only submit. Give yourself to them. Breathe deep. Cum for them.

You did. Over and over you came. Until the fluid stopped and all that came out of you were moans and grunts. Until the pain would've stopped you, if you could feel it. Until your abused prostate almost pulsed itself inside out and your twitching legs couldn't hold your weight any more.

You didn't care. You'd joined the chorus. You watched as the drone with your old face pulled another orgasm out of its bruised cock. As it fell face-first into the cave floor, still tugging at itself as a thin layer of mould spread over its skin.

The chorus was music. It was freedom. It was truth and joy and love and everything you ever wanted.

And now it had a ship.

NASA experiment shows solar wind might make water on the moon

Scientists have hypothesized since the 1960s that the sun is a source of ingredients that form water on the moon. When a stream of charged particles known as the solar wind smashes into the lunar surface, the idea goes, it triggers a chemical reaction that could make water molecules.

Now, in the most realistic lab simulation of this process yet, NASA-led researchers have confirmed this prediction.

The finding, researchers wrote in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, has implications for NASA's Artemis astronaut operations at the moon's South Pole. A critical resource for exploration, much of the water on the moon is thought to be frozen in permanently shadowed regions at the poles.

"The exciting thing here is that with only lunar soil and a basic ingredient from the sun, which is always spitting out hydrogen, there's a possibility of creating water," Li Hsia Yeo, a research scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. "That's incredible to think about," said Yeo, who led the study.

Solar wind flows constantly from the sun. It's made largely of protons, which are nuclei of hydrogen atoms that have lost their electrons. Traveling at more than 1 million miles per hour, the solar wind bathes the entire solar system. We see evidence of it on Earth when it lights up our sky in auroral light shows.

Most of the solar particles don't reach the surface of Earth because our planet has a magnetic shield and an atmosphere to deflect them. But the moon has no such protection. As computer models and lab experiments have shown, when protons smash into the moon's surface, which is made of a dusty and rocky material called regolith, they collide with electrons and recombine to form hydrogen atoms.

Then, the hydrogen atoms can migrate through the lunar surface and bond with the abundant oxygen atoms already present in minerals like silica to form hydroxyl (OH) molecules, a component of water, and water (H2O) molecules themselves.

Scientists have found evidence of both hydroxyl and water molecules in the moon's upper surface, just a few millimeters deep. These molecules leave behind a kind of chemical fingerprint—a noticeable dip in a wavy line on a graph that shows how light interacts with the regolith. With the current tools available, though, it is difficult to tell the difference between hydroxyl and water, so scientists use the term "water" to refer to either one or a mix of both molecules.

Many researchers think the solar wind is the main reason the molecules are there, though other sources like micrometeorite impacts could also help by creating heat and triggering chemical reactions.

Spacecraft measurements had already hinted that the solar wind is the primary driver of water, or its components, at the lunar surface. One key clue, confirmed by Yeo's team's experiment: the moon's water-related spectral signal changes over the course of the day.

In some regions, it's stronger in the cooler morning and fades as the surface heats up, likely because water and hydrogen molecules move around or escape to space. As the surface cools again at night, the signal peaks again. This daily cycle points to an active source—most likely the solar wind—replenishing tiny amounts of water on the moon each day.

To test whether this is true, Yeo and her colleague, Jason McLain, a research scientist at NASA Goddard, built a custom apparatus to examine Apollo lunar samples. In a first, the apparatus held all experiment components inside: a solar particle beam device, an airless chamber that simulated the moon's environment, and a molecule detector. Their invention allowed the researchers to avoid ever taking the sample out of the chamber—as other experiments did—and exposing it to contamination from the water in the air.

"It took a long time and many iterations to design the apparatus components and get them all to fit inside," said McLain, "but it was worth it, because once we eliminated all possible sources of contamination, we learned that this decades-old idea about the solar wind turns out to be true."

Using dust from two different samples picked up on the moon by NASA's Apollo 17 astronauts in 1972, Yeo and her colleagues first baked the samples to remove any possible water they could have picked up between airtight storage in NASA's space-sample curation facility at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston and Goddard's lab. Then, they used a tiny particle accelerator to bombard the dust with mock solar wind for several days—the equivalent of 80,000 years on the moon, based on the high dose of the particles used.

They used a detector called a spectrometer to measure how much light the dust molecules reflected, which showed how the samples' chemical makeup changed over time.

In the end, the team saw a drop in the light signal that bounced to their detector precisely at the point in the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum—near 3 microns—where water typically absorbs energy, leaving a telltale signature.

While they can't conclusively say if their experiment made water molecules, the researchers reported in their study that the shape and width of the dip in the wavy line on their graph suggests that both hydroxyl and water were produced in the lunar samples.

This method is highly effective for detecting surface flaws that may not be visible to the naked eye but can compromise the integrity of the material.

The Process of MPI Testing

The process of MPI testing can be broken down into several key steps:

Preparation: The surface of the component is cleaned to remove any dirt, oil, or grease that might interfere with the inspection process.

Magnetization: The component is magnetized using either a permanent magnet or an electromagnet. The choice of magnetizing method depends on the size and shape of the component, as well as the type of discontinuities being inspected.

Application of Ferrous Particles: Ferrous particles, either dry or suspended in a liquid carrier, are applied to the magnetized component. These particles accumulate at areas where there are discontinuities in the magnetic field, forming visible indications.

Inspection: The inspector examines the component under appropriate lighting conditions to identify any indications of discontinuities. Depending on the application, ultraviolet light may be used to enhance the visibility of the indications.

Demagnetization and Cleaning: After the inspection is complete, the component is demagnetized to remove any residual magnetism, and the ferrous particles are cleaned off.

Advantages of Magnetic Particle Inspection

Magnetic particle inspection offers several advantages that make it a preferred method for non-destructive testing:

High Sensitivity: MPI is highly sensitive to surface and near-surface discontinuities, making it effective for detecting even small flaws.

Quick and Efficient: The inspection process is relatively quick, allowing for the rapid evaluation of large quantities of components.

Seeing a lot of Ninjago oc talks in the community, and I've noticed there's a lot of ocs that are allies to the ninjas cause you know!! They're the sillies ofc we're all gonna be working with the ninjas righ-

PS: get away from her she will blood bend your whole body and puppet it around for fun (she's insane)

She's a Ninjago OC I've made last year but I never had tumblr last year so I wasn't able to show her off

Arinelle isn't a name that looked like insane bloodthirsty person but she used to be a scientist incharge of figuring out how to extract the most out of dragon energy for Imperium outside (since it was unsafe for it to be within Imperium walls) and when it catastrophically failed Beatrix never came to get her so she just went insane while trapped in an underground ruined testing site filled with corpses and escaped after the Merge where Ras then found her sooner or later and she joined his clan out of interest

She besties w Cinder when Ras took her in but after meeting the Forbidden 5 she left to pursuit the shatterspin technique (cuz she low-key insane) and she became the forbidden 6th

She's from what I recall an Elemental Master of Magnetism (that or something like particle charge or so) but she's so smart despite being insane that she's learned how to control the iron levels in a body, letting her do ATLA's blood bending or literally kill somebody by changing the iron levels in the body and clumping it to one vital area or so (she is BRUTAL)

This included herself too, she's basically able to control the iron levels in her system to attract or repel to other external metals which lets her get a boost basically like getting pushed against a metal wall let's her send metals to her heel and cause it to repel with the wall so she flies off faster and farther

I made her whist being very much a Chem nerd I'm sorry for the rant

Ultimate Danny Phantom

United States Department of Energy Division of Ectoplasmic Energy Research (DEER)

HISTORY

In 1982, the Journal of Applied Physics published “Resonant Coupling of Cryogenic Superconducting Cavities for Enhanced Vacuum-Field Energy Extraction: Turning Quantum Fluctuations into Electrical Power,” written by the prodigiously intelligent college students Jack Fenton and Maddie Marmel, and co-authored by Professor V. Masters. The article described the Fenton’s research into Zero-Point Energy, and how – quite by accident – they discovered evidence of a parallel dimension when their resonator inadvertently harvested a highly potent matter-like energy in the form of ectoplasmic crystals. As the Fenton’s repeated and iterated on this errant Zero-Point Energy test, they successfully harvested more of the matter-like energy in what they surmised was its raw, slime-like form. The small samples they obtained demonstrated a miraculous compatibility with all manner of electronic devices. Even the smallest sample of ectoplasm provided what appeared to be limitless energy potential.

Their paper was quickly noticed by the Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Research, which swiftly moved in to publicly suppress circulation and discussion of the article while privately offering the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UWM) a modest University Research Initiative grant to continue Jack and Maddie’s ectoplasm research. The campus laboratory was transformed into an official Department of Energy Project Site. As part of the DoE’s many regulations, an on-site liaison was assigned out of the Argonne National Laboratory from Lemont, Illinois to monitor the project’s progress. Harriet Chin became a close friend of the Fentons and would remain their official liaison to the DOE for decades to come.

Jack and Maddie’s proposal for harvesting ectoplasm likened the barrier between Earth’s native dimension and “Zero-Space” to a drinking glass. While ectoplasm theoretically existed in limitless supply in Zero-Space (inside the drinking glass), attempting to break into this new dimension to harvest ectoplasm was fraught with danger and unknown variables. Alternatively, Jack and Maddie proposed a method for harvesting ectoplasm condensate, like the water droplets that form sweat beads on the exterior surface of the glass. While harvesting the substance this way would be tedious and produce only minute usable quantities of the substance, it was safer than trying to fracture the dimensional barrier and risk massive contamination. During the scheduled test of the modified resonant chamber, an over-correction in the magnetic field calibration resulted in such a fracture. Raw ectoplasm exploded from the chamber and saturated Professor Masters. Although the experiment resulted in a tragic and unanticipated casualty, it was a technical success. Jack and Maddie had proven the existence of ectoplasm to the DOE, and had inadvertently provided a uniquely devastating display of its energy potential.

The UWM incident made serious waves in the Department of Energy. With both the energy potential and inherent danger of ectoplasm revealed, the decision was made to reorganize the Office of Energy Research staff on site during the incident into a new in-house division called the Division of Ectoplasmic Energy Research (DEER). DEER quickly established two nodes: one at Argonne for continued study of Jack and Maddie’s resonator tech and ectoplasm particle studies, and the other at Oak Ridge National Lab for iterating on the resonating chamber siphon prototype, testing harvested ectoplasm, and prototyping new technologies using ectoplasm as an energy source. Jack and Maddie were hired on as principal investigators with DEER, operating with DOE security clearances and an annual operations budget to continue their research.

In the waning years of the 1980s, strange phenomena began occurring across the US. Cryptid and UFO sightings became more frequent. Disappearances in rural places saw an unsettling uptick. But what finally drew DEER’s attention was the formation of unexplained puddles of glowing green slime. Somehow, ectoplasm was leaking out from its native dimension. DEER’s mission shifted from just research and development to include field containment to its repertoire. At first, DEER worked closely with local law enforcement agencies to investigate and handle supernatural phenomenon using prototype containment equipment to fend off Ectoplasmic Threat Units (a broad term used to describe extra-dimensional creatures, later known colloquially as “ghosts”). By the end of the 1990s, DEER was in business with Axion Labs, a government-owned, contractor-operated outfit to supply DEER’s increasingly militarized field operatives with ETU-weaponry and containment devices. DEER’s rapid expansion saw it rechartered as a federally funded research and development center. Though it still reported to the Department of Energy, DEER saw more autonomy with the expansion of its field offices established near ETU hotspots.

By 2004, DEER was a full-blown paranormal agency with a distinguished track record containing and combating ETUs and locking down ectoplasm contamination sites, all while keeping the public at large in the dark about the truth of these paranormal incursions. DEER operates through three primary branches. An R&D branch with its HQ in the old UWM campus seized from the university by the Department of Energy through eminent domain, a Field Operations branch which trains and deploys DEER’s militarized rapid-response teams to incursion sites, and an Intelligence branch which uses a network of proprietary and third party sensor buoys, scanners, and satellites to monitor the globe for new incursions.

STRUCTURE

DEER operates under the authority of its Director, Zach Fielder. Its three branches are helmed by Deputy Directors responsible for coordinating DEER’s resources to prepare for and respond to ETU events. DEER quickly earned a reputation of playing nice and sharing resources with research-oriented organizations. NASA and NOAA possess advanced sensor networks that DEER upgraded and recalibrated to detect ectoplasmic energy signatures. But DEER has more enemies than friends in the federal government. DEER’s militarized field operations teams outrank all other law enforcement agencies, from local police to the CIA and DHS, when it comes to ETU events. They don’t particularly enjoy having their authority superceded.

In day to day operations, DEER is largely focused on research and development and intelligence. They are constantly developing and testing new technologies to assist their field operatives with ETU operations. While some of this work is conducted in-house, more extensive testing and fabrication is assigned to Axion Labs.

While R&D is centered in Illinois, with Axion Labs and DEER collaborating on a new facility on the outskirts of Amity Park, DEER’s intelligence operations are more decentralized. DEER intelligence operatives are stationed at data centers around the country, sharing office space with friendly organizations like NASA, NOAA, and even the NSA, and keeping tabs on surveillance and monitoring equipment to track ETU incursions. The core DEER intelligence staff work out of the UWM campus site, which serves as DEER’s HQ.

DEER’s field operatives are typically ex-military officers with exemplary records. The physical training and conditioning received in the military coupled with the rigorous intellectual pressures of higher ranking officer positions primes these recruits for DEER’s own grueling and dangerous training regiment. Field operatives are trained in ETU containment and combat, emphasizing civilian safety, and they are the most likely DEER agents to butt heads and escalate conflicts with other law enforcement agents who have a tendency to get in their way.

In addition to its day to day operations, DEER’s CFO maintains a crack team of talented lobbyists and enjoys the support of the Department of Energy and fellow research agencies, in addition to the deep bench of lobbyists at the disposal of Axion Labs and its parent companies, to support DEER in congressional hearings and annual budget requests. The public at large and other federal agencies are kept in the dark about the true nature of DEER’s activities as a matter of national security which sows distrust and disdain for them, especially since DEER tends to get nearly everything they ask for in budget requests. Congressional committee members privy to DEER’s activity, even if only partially, seem all too eager to make sure they have everything they need to combat the supernatural threat.

When DEER operatives from any of its branches are found in the field, they are typically seen wearing white, given the color’s high contrast with the neon green hues of ectoplasm which makes decontamination and cleaning more efficient. Each branch adopted this informal dress code independently of the others – R&D techs are clad in white lab coats, Intel agents wear white button-up shirts and blouses, and Field Operatives are covered head to toe in protective white armor. Eventually, DEER’s dress code was made official. To the public at large, they are colloquially referred to as “the Guys in White.”

DANNY PHANTOM

In 2004, Danny Fenton was visiting his parents’ laboratory in the Axion Labs facility. After over twenty years, the Fentons were finally ready to test their new and improved resonating chamber, now referred to as the Ectoplasm Siphon. However, upon activation, the siphon failed to initialize. Later that night, Danny used his father’s security badge to sneak himself and his two closest friends into the facility. Danny donned a protective hazmat suit and wandered into the inert machine.

Or, rather, the seemingly inert machine.

In the time since the earlier failed activation, his parents and their lab techs discovered the issue was a weak magnetic frequency calibration setting – perhaps subconsciously weakened by Maddie or Jack out of fear of repeating the incident that grievously injured Professor Masters so many years ago. The Fentons recalibrated the siphon and in the subsequent re-test, they achieved a successful activation. Microscopic ectoplasmic crystals had already been forming around cryogenic seed nuclei, and simulations of future tests showed promise in harvesting the prized ectoplasmic gel. The siphon had many safety mechanisms, but neither the Fentons nor any of the dozens of DEER’s R&D lab techs anticipated was a human bypassing the containment chamber’s safety protocols using the stolen credentials of one of the project leads and waltzing into the active siphon. A spark of static electricity from Danny’s suit triggered a chain reaction in the siphon resulting in another fracture in the dimensional fabric between Earth and Zero-Space

But instead of shorting out the siphon and frying its hardware, the powerful magnetic coils stabilized the fracture. The explosion of ethereal energy that devastated the UWM laboratory was contained inside a powerful magnetic field, creating a vibrant emerald window into Zero-Space. Danny, having been caught inside the machine at the exact point of the dimensional fracture, was imbued with immense concentrations of ectoplasmic energy. Danny’s friends dragged his unconscious form out of the lab before any Axion or DEER personnel could respond to the wailing alarms set off by the siphon’s malfunction.

Tucker, using Jack Fenton’s security clearance and his own encryption-cracking tool, temporarily disabled Axion’s security system the night of their break-in, but that was after Danny had already swiped his father’s badge to gain entry. It was the first of many clues Danny and his friends left in their wake. In the coming weeks, as sightings of a “ghost boy” in Amity Park grew more common, Director Fielder made an educated guess that Danny Fenton was, in fact, the “ghost boy” and that his powers were connected to the siphon incident.

While DEER carefully considered their options regarding a best approach to the Phantom situation, the Department of Homeland Security was eager to prove itself more deserving of DEER’s seemingly over-inflated budget. A DHS “Ecto Hazard Mitigation Team” conducted discrete tests using fabricated ectoplasmic energy signatures to draw the ghost boy out in the open. Their tests worked, and the DHS team used this data to lure Danny to Amity Park’s observatory in the hopes of publicly eliminating him and prove their organization superior to DEER in the process. Their plan backfired when their weapons passed through Danny’s intangible form and obliterated the observatory. Nine people were killed, including Valerie Gray’s mother.

The DHS fallout was swift, and the agency’s efforts to cover up their involvement in the incident led to even steeper penalties, not the least of which being loss of federal funding for their law enforcement operations. In the aftermath, DEER formally approached Danny Phantom with an offer to be classified as a DEER Asset. This classification would grant Danny a unique protected status not afforded to other ghosts, and allow for collaboration with DEER operatives.

Danny Phantom and DEER would enjoy a tense but nevertheless mutually beneficial partnership for a time. But all good things must come to an end...

"Researchers from the Max-Planck-Institut fuer Kernphysik present new experimental and theoretical results for the bound electron g-factor in lithium-like tin, which has a much higher nuclear charge than any previous measurement. The paper is published in the journal Science."

"Quantum electrodynamics (QED) is the fundamental theory describing all electromagnetic phenomena including light (photons). At the same time, it is the most precisely tested theory in physics at all."

"QED understands the electromagnetic interaction among charged particles as the exchange of "virtual" photons—the way electrons in an atom "talk" to each other and to the nucleus—and with themselves via emission and reabsorption of a photon, a QED effect called "self energy."

Furthermore, it turned out that the physical vacuum is not empty but filled with virtual particles such as electron-positron pairs, which appear all the time "out of nothing" but have to disappear within the limits set by the uncertainty principle of quantum physics.

Though this might sound spooky, it is just the way to explain the underlying physics of experiments performed in atomic physics already in the 1940s.

A state-of-the-art access to QED phenomena is the so-called g-factor of the electron, which describes the relation of its mechanic (intrinsic angular momentum: spin) and magnetic properties."

Chapter 11 Before It's Too Late is out now

...If anyone could take the time to try to read at least part of the full adaptation, I would be infinitely grateful ;;

DON'T READ THE EPISODES WITHOUT READING THE BOOKS!!

Logico and Irratino are strapped to chairs as a video plays on a monitor.

VIDEO: Greetings, new TekTopia residents. This new, revolutionary mag-train uses a road instead of a track. It uses drivers instead of a rail, and instead of magnetic levitators, it uses wheels. LOGICO: THAT’S JUST A BUS! And that’s a dead body. IRRATINO: Well that was quick.

Eggplant probes the two (and the body) onto the “train”, and it takes off to the main center where everyone will be held. Unlike the rest of the pristine facilities, the bus looks just as miserable as any other bus. Which, since the original driver is dead, is now being driven by Olive. 

Pine and Saffron have been caught, and so has, inevitably, Taupe, who was trying to follow the detectives again.

IRRATINO: Buddy… you really should have ran away! I know you like to be with us, but it’s too dangerous!

Taupe drags its foot on the ground sadly. The other two look depressed, Saffron with her head in her hands and Pine doomscrolling stock market prices. 

PINE: Well… goddammit.  SAFFRON: I was gonna become the GOOD suspect! I was gonna be nice, and have lots of friends, and then they just GRABBED me like that! Now I’m gonna be stuck in this big computer forever.

Taupe (awkwardly) tries to open the only book for entertainment, but of course, it’s How to Make Money by CEO Indigo. Which is likely the only book that will be present in TekTopia! 

Logico runs up to the front seat.

LOGICO: Hey, you! 

Like a chicken, Olive’s body bounces with the movement of the bus, but their head stays perfectly still. They are not paying attention to Logico, or judging by their deviating eyes, the road. 

LOGICO: HEY! OLIVE: WHAT DO YOU WANT! LOGICO: OH, god. Every bus has to stop when requested. We demand to get off! OLIVE: This isn’t a bus, mortal. This is a mag-train!  LOGICO: IT’S NOT A TRAIN, AND THERE ARE NO MAGNETS!

Irratino has disappeared.

LOGICO: How did he get off?

He didn’t… he attempted to escape and is now strapped to the roof. At this speed, trying to break free will probably kill him. 

IRRATINO: I’M SORRY, LOGICO!  LOGICO: WHAT THE FUUUUCKKKK OLIVE: Keep it down, or you’ll be next. 

That doesn’t sound too bad at this point. Taupe opens the bathroom - a hole in the floor. Before he can go, Logico stares down at the road rushing by below. For once, his size is a good thing - he can jump through. But it would definitely injure him. And Irratino’s still on the roof. After thinking about it, he changes his mind. It’s not worth leaving Irratino behind.

IRRATINO: LOGICO, GO! LOGICO: No! I’m not leaving without you.

Irratino tears up, from emotion and the particles flying into his eyes at light speed. He knew Logico wouldn’t leave - it was just a test. What a troll.

Miss Saffron cries at the situation. It doesn’t matter how ‘good’ she can be in this situation - she can’t help anyone. 

SAFFRON: No… no more Mr. Nice Saffie! 

She runs up to Olive.

SAFFRON: I killed that bus driver! I don’t want you taking us ANYWHERE!

She tries to hijack the steering wheel, but is fended off by Olive’s sharp teeth. Pine wakes up and storms toward them, but shoves her horn through the window and gets stuck. Taupe runs forward but gets stuck between Pine and a seat. Everything is going to shit. 

IRRATINO: I DON’T LIKE WHERE THIS IS GOING!! SAFFRON: I know! That’s why we’re going… somewhere… DIFFERENT!

She manages to grab the steering wheel, but is attacked again by Olive. The bus crashes into a terminal, and everything but the bottom explodes. 

SAFFRON: NOOO! WE’RE STILL HERE! IRRATINO: [singed] It’s okay, Saffron… you tried…

The end!

Tbh I don't really know where I'm going with this series

The power of Goat Lord compels you!

See you next time murdlers!
