Addendum X-95

The following consists of the basic information of all cataloged teams of the SCP-ALO also known as Power Rangers. It should be noted that this list only includes the most basic information. Also, there are known additional members who possess even greater power than the original listed members. However, any mention of these members will not be included in this list.

Ransik, a mutant born from a failed experiment who ended up rejected by society, rounds up other mutants and leads a rebellion, when that fails he goes to the past to take over the world before the power rangers ever formed. It should be noted at this time the Global Occult Coalition used technology and research gathered from these rangers to create an artificial red ranger which they dubbed the Quantum Ranger. It should also be noted that the Brown Family assisted these rangers and assured the Foundation that any damage caused to the timeline would be fixed so the Rangers were pardoned for time travel which is a crime.

Galvanax had all the contestants of the show fight the Power Rangers in hopes of stealing their power. 

2018: Ocean Heart Power Rangers/ Members: Five consisting of Pink, Purple, Red, Orange, Blue/ Situation: As embarrassing as it is to admit this time it was the Foundation that was technically the villains as deranged Foundationists were trying to uncover a wealth of unknown resources in the ocean. It was guarded by a Fae who entrusted a portion of the power to the Power Rangers to protect it from our AFA units as well as experimental anomalous humanoid clones. 

2019: Beast Morpher Power Rangers/ Members: Three consisting of Yellow, Red, and Blue/ Situation: Nothing actually happens this year except that the Department of Universal Affrairs confirms a change in the alternate timeline where the RPM Power Rangers manifested.

Concept: In a season 2 of Evolution, Tyron’s supercomputer goes back online and XANA is able to return. The gang have to turn their supercomputer back on to deal with the threat. One of their first orders of business is to return to the Cortex and gather data on how Tyron managed to neutralise their virus and what new measures he may have implemented to try and hamper any future attempts at destroying his supercomputer.

When they get to the console, the webcam feed opens up and someone is waiting for them. It’s Laura. Her knowledge of quantum computing and general familiarity with the Lyoko Warriors (former classmates) made Tyron want to scout her for the special school and now she’s learning from and working alongside him. The girl who helped create the virus was the one who disarmed it. Although she doesn’t retain her memories of her time with the group, she feels strangely smug about being able to attend this fantastic school that meets all her needs, learning the gang’s secret from Tyron, and foiling their plans to destroy her new teacher’s work. She somehow feels like she’s getting sweet revenge but isn’t sure where that feeling is coming from.

Since she doesn’t remember XANA anymore, she has no reason to side with the gang. She continues to work against them, trapping them and outsmarting them on several occasions. She proves to be a valuable ally to Tyron, and a true genius at quantum computing.

If we’re thinking accurate to Evolution, this will all probably be a great reason to solidify Laura as a true villain in the gang’s minds because actual Evolution would never dream of treating Laura with any sort of decency, but this is my fantasy so I say it makes them realise how wrong they were for never giving her a chance - she would have been an excellent ally and they regret everything they did to her.

1166+ 1154.  “Do you think I'm ashamed of my interest in you?” “I thought you didn’t want me.”

This was prompted by the wonderful @anxiousmessofaperson! Thank you for being this patient, I like this story far more than the other one I wrote. Enjoy!

Fandom: Detroit become human | Ship: Reed900

‘Nines, why do you keep doing this?’, Connor asked, reinserting a bolt to his lower arm and taking to the torn cables next. Nines watched him in silence. ‘I mean, what did Reed ever do to you that deserves this loyalty? He repeatedly says he hates androids, that he doesn’t need you, that he would be better off alone. He even tried to trash you once!’ ‘I know’, the RK900 whispered. ‘And still you stay with him. Why?’ ‘I’m his partner.’ ‘That’s no explanation!’

‘I know.’ Nines repeated. ‘God, Nines, I don’t understand you. I can only repeat over and over again, that I’m here for you. Just say the word.’ ‘Thank you, Connor.’ Nines didn’t understand it either. Connor was right: Gavin hated androids. And he used every chance he could get to show him. Still, Nines stayed. He truly didn’t know why.

Connor worked on his arm in silence, then gently allowed the hull pieces to slip back into place. ‘There. As good as I can fix it. You should really let yourself be looked over sometime.’ ‘I will’, Nines promised without planning on actually doing it.

The android walked back to his desk, pulling down his sleeve again and putting on his jacket. ‘And? Did the plastic put a band aid on your booboo and kissed it alright?’, Gavin laughed from the other side as he sat down. Nines didn’t answer and interfaced with his terminal to download any new data. ‘Hey, answer me, tin-can!’ Nines still remained silent. Until the man stood up, walked around to sit on his desk and cup his cheek. ‘Oh, did I do something wrong, toaster?’ Nines pressed his eyes shut as if the contact hurt and froze all over. ‘Remove your hand’, he demanded forcing his voice to stay calm and collected. ‘Aww, and what if not?’, the human teased and had the audacity to brush his thumb against his skin and squeeze a little. Nines’ lips quivered in anger and he grabbed the man’s wrist with just a little too much force. ‘I said: remove your hand.’ ‘Hell, okay, fine. Phcking androids.’ As Nines let go Gavin pulled his arm back holding his wrist. ‘Goddamn android doesn’t know his place’, Gavin muttered as he walked back to his chair. ‘You do know I didn’t want you, right? I don’t need you and I never will. You should watch your back or something like that arm may happen again.’

Nines looked up at the human. That… That wasn’t true, right? His arm had been mangled by the door being closed on him by the criminal. Gavin couldn’t be the one responsible for that, could he? The Detective smirked. ‘I could have pulled you further back, just saying. If you want my help, work for it.’ The android shook his head and retracted his hand from the terminal. ‘Detective, I won’t put up with any more of your harassment and I expect you to have my back just as much as I have yours.’ ‘Yeah, right, why should I care for a damn tin-can?’ ‘Why should I care for a mere human? I don’t need you either, Reed. But I still would like to keep you as my partner as you are competent, and I don’t want to have your death on my file.’ ‘Wow. Makes you feel real welcome.’ ‘Then you know how it feels’, Nines said deadpan. ‘The Captain wants to speak us.’ The android stood up and walked up to the glass cube, Gavin staring at him disbelievingly and then following him.

‘Reed, Nines? I have a new mission for you. We need people undercover in the Red Circle. You two have been investigating them for over three months now. I think you are the most qualified to do it. Gavin, you will be a driver for them. You will find out their different locations and report to us. Nines, you are an android send from a rival gang, the Hawks, that plans to merge with the Red Circle. Gavin is supposed to be from your gang as a sign of good will. More information will be in your files. I expect you two to work together. I don’t need any more “accidents” or fights between you two. You will meet with them tomorrow. Any questions?’ ‘No, Sir’, Nines reported, and Gavin kept silent. ‘Gavin?’ ‘Hmm? Yeah, sure, fine. Can we go now?’ ‘Of course. Dismissed.’

‘Hey, tin-can? I would like to talk to you in private for a moment’, Gavin spoke up as soon as they were outside the building the next day, Gavin in casual clothing and Nines looking smarter. ‘Of course. What is it, Gavin?’ The man looked around for anyone that might see them, then took the android by the lapels and pushed him hard against the brick wall. ‘Listen here, droid, if you use this as a way to get your revenge, I will kill you. Fowler and the mission be damned, if you use your position as some way to pay me back, I will kill you. I can do worse than allow harm to get to you.’

Nines made a show of rolling his eyes. ‘Gavin, you may have forgotten, but I’m not you!’ He pushed his hands against the man’s chest and send him staggering backwards. ‘I don’t try to make this a living hell for everyone that isn’t me. And I agree. Fowler and the mission be damned. But my condition is that I will make sure we both get out of there alive if things go wrong. Because that’s what partners are supposed to be!’ ‘Are you saying I am incompetent?’ ‘Yes! Yes, that’s what I’m saying. You are incompetent to work with other people. It wouldn’t hurt you to look out for others or maybe, just maybe, actually help them!’ ‘Oh, so that’s what it’s all about! I thought you were Cyberlife’s best. Since when do you need help?’ ‘Gavin. Fuck off. I don’t need your help, but it would be nice to have it. Any idiot would understand that, but apparently to you it’s quantum physics or something. Let’s just get going. I acknowledged your threat and chose to disregard it, okay? I won’t change you anyways.’ ‘Damn right.’

They drove up to the factory they had watched for the last months, telling the armed guard disguised as a worker their story and the secret word to be granted entry and they were past the gate. They were greeted by a few other guards in disguise, telling them to exit the car and follow them to the boss. Nines was sure to scan every last one of them and send the identifications back to the DPD as soon as it had compiled.

They were led through the factory hall that was converted into a small chemistry plant. The factory was filled with tanks, pipes and strainers. Industrially produced drugs in a building everyone knew had been abandoned long time ago and never found another owner. Everyone knew there were illegal activities taking place under this roof, but no one could get a grip on them. Whenever they had enough material and evidence to act, they had moved their whole equipment to another place. This might just be their chance of finally setting an end to the Red Circle.

Up a final ladder to an overhanging office, they stood before the boss of the Gang. Frederick Burton, a chemical engineer, who lost his job in 2036 due to alcoholism. He didn’t look like it now. Maybe he even was clean again. Nines couldn’t be sure. All he knew was that the man in front of him looked like the most ordinary, easiest to miss person he had ever seen. Definitely no one you expected to be the leader of a gang that had a firm grip on half of Detroit.

As soon as they entered, the man stood from his chair and opened his arms in a jovial gesture. ‘Ah! You must be Richard and Jared Clark! The Red Circle welcomes you and I hoe you had a pleasant journey over here?’ Nines threw him a smile. ‘We had, Mr. Burton. We hope there will be a bright future for our both… companies.’ The gang boss laughed. ‘Oh, directly to business? Where has the time for pleasantries gone, I wonder…’ ‘Pleasantries don’t make money’, Nines said confidently. He was playing a bigwig in the Hawks after all, he had to keep in character. ‘Yeah, true’, the man nodded. ‘A shame money is everything that counts, nowadays, huh? Loyalty, Friendship, a gang you can trust…’ ‘I assure you the Hawks are to be trusted. We wouldn’t be showing our faces to you if we didn’t mean what we said. It is in the best interest for our gang to merge with yours. The police are already pressuring us, and we need the safety you can guarantee. In turn we offer you our labs and loyalty.’

‘Yes, the Hawks are to be trusted’, the gang boss said wandering behind his desk. ‘And the police really are sneaky bastards.’ He waved the guards behind Nines and Gavin and they closed the door. The android kept calm, but a quick scan showed Gavin’s hand were sweaty and his breath just a bit faster than normally. ‘That’s why I wonder why the Hawks send us new people to negotiate when they merged with us a week ago. And why two people who didn’t exist before and the Hawks don’t know show up just after we threatened a secret informant for the DPD into spreading false information. It may be that the only RK900 ever that is a Detective at the 5th precinct and the only Detective that could have made it Captain, but has far too many disciplinaries to ever make it Lieutenant, have heard of that very information and decided to go undercover for a bit? A shame that didn’t work, huh?’

Nines was ready to activate his whole arsenal of tactical routines but kept calm. So, they had been unveiled. It had been a trap all along. That was fine, shit happened. They could still get out of here alive and report to Fowler. In fact, they could do that right now. Nines huffed and dropped his stance, seemingly the most relaxed person in the room. ‘You did your research, so much is-‘ He had wanted to play on time, to keep smug till the very end and provoke a fight they could use as a distraction to run. But from one moment to the next every system of his was about to be fried. An overwhelming signal flooded his sensors. He saw white, heard nothing but static, smelled and tasted everything at once and felt as if he was burning. His transmission to Fowler and the call for backup was overlapped by the same attack. A scrambler. More advanced, but still primitive technology. It did the trick though and Nines dropped to the floor, unable to move or send any signal to his body. It may as well had been an EMP, as much as it interfered with his systems. His only chance at survival was to enter stasis, being completely vulnerable to anything happening to his body. ‘Goodnight Nines.’ Strangely enough, his last thought before entering stasis was Gavin.

-

He booted back up to a flurry of warnings and damage reports. He set his filters to only vital information and was met with his legs compromised but still working good enough to walk on, his left arm missing, and his hull damaged in multiple areas. The scrambler had brought disorder to his software, even deleted a few addresses and access to a few programs. But his scanner was still active and unharmed. He was lying in a landfill outside of Detroit. It had been used by Cyberlife to dumb androids once. A logical place to dispose of an android. He sat up, looking around. He hadn’t been alone during the attack…

‘Gavin!’ He shouted it across the landfill not thinking about the consequences should someone hear him. ‘Gavin? Are you here?’ He scanned for human life signs while standing up. ‘Gavin, please!’ ‘Nine…’ It was weak and very quiet, but Nines picked it up. He was at his feet in a heartbeat and tried to get over to where the sound came from. ‘Gavin? Gavin, talk to me!’ ‘Plashh’ He was interrupted by a cough, but the shaking floor gave him away. Nines quickly sunk to his knees and pulled away the rusted android bodies from the spot. He had to dig through the android corpses to finally reach Gavin and pull him out. He had been buried by the mass of metal and plastic and was finally able to breath lighter. He was badly bruised and had at least one broken rib. ‘Can you walk?’, Nines asked. ‘I think so…’, Gavin answered coughing after every laboured word. The android didn’t hesitate to pull an arm around the man and help him up. ‘Wha- What are you doing?’ ‘Getting us out of here, idiot.’ ‘Why… are you helping me? Why not… leave me behind?’ ‘You talk too much’, Nines refused to answer. He didn’t know for sure either. It was the right thing to do, but after what pain Gavin had put him through maybe he should use the opportunity to get rid of- no. No, he wasn’t like that. He would get them both out of there alive. ‘Must be something wrong with your programming, tin-can’, Gavin laughed through the cough. ‘You taking interest in the well-being of someone who hurt you so much. Maybe a bit masochistic, don’t you think? Must be phcking embarrassing.’

Nines sighed, half carrying the human over the landfill to the next street to find a passer-by who could call them an ambulance. ‘Do you think I'm ashamed of my interest in you? In my wish to care for someone and be cared for in return? That is something so utterly human and you are apparently lacking it.’ ‘Because it’s useless. You will never be cared for.’ ‘Then what is this right now?’, Nines asked, sounding exhausted. His legs were not happy about the added weight. ‘That’s what I’m asking myself. What do you think you get out of this?’ ‘I hope that if I just keep this up, you will finally realise you don’t have to work against me not to be hurt. Because I will stay with you. I will help you. My willingness to put up with you after everything you did to me should be evidence enough.’ ‘Heh, you just want to get some friendship out of this?’ ‘Yes. Is that so difficult to understand?’ ‘You have no idea, Nines. Honest people are phcking rare. Normally they just search for a way to get to know your secrets and use them against you.’ ‘I do not, Gavin’, he sighed, repositioning Gavin’s arm that had slipped a bit. ‘I hope one day you realise that.

They came to the street and Nines looked out for someone to ask for their phone. His connection to the android network had been disconnected by the scrambler. There was no one around, but he found an old payphone he could make a call with. Then he helped Gavin settle against the phone while they waited for the ambulance.

‘Will you come with me?’, Gavin asked silently. ‘I thought you didn’t want me’, Nines teased gently. ‘Shut up. I still don’t want you. But I may have realised I need you.’ ‘Of course I will stay with you Gavin.’

193. Sonic the Hedgehog #125

Sonic Adventure 2.5: Ωmegλ

Writer: Karl Bollers Pencils: Dave Manak, Art Mawhinney, Ron Lim, Dawn Best, Steven Butler, and J. Axer Colors: Jason Jensen

Welcome to the end of the era, folks! As you can see from the credits above, though this one isn't quite as big or dramatic as Endgame, it's still a very important issue, with bombastic action that drives the story forward and changes the fate of the preboot world forever. Here, we reach the conclusion of not one but two different arcs that have dominated this era of the comic, so without further ado - let's do it to it!

Last issue, we discovered that Mobius is Earth, and that the Xorda are prepared to execute every living members of this planet as revenge for some random humans dissecting one of their ambassadors thousands of years ago. Seems like overkill, guys! Rotor, having overheard everything going on in the castle from his lab, has hastily developed a technological measure that should allow them to communicate directly with the Xorda in the form of a telepathic helmet. Sally volunteers herself as the one to contact them, believing that she can make a good argument based on her and Nicole's research, and puts on the helmet, suddenly finding herself in a bizarre space surrounded by surprised Xorda.

This reveal is even better than the last one! Yes, the Xorda's gene bombs inadvertently caused the DNA of ordinary Earth animals to be mixed with deconstructed human DNA, which only goes further to explain why Mobians are all so humanlike. With the Xorda still on their genocidal streak, Eggman contacts the king once again to lay out his new plan to drive them away - he wants Sonic to come to his base to use his super speed to power a giant mecha that has enough force to just punch the aliens clear out of this solar system. It's a good idea, and Eggman is being genuine (for once) about his desires to defeat the Xorda, but King Max knows that with the upper hand he's gained in negotiations, he can get something more out of this deal.

As Eggman angrily agrees, we travel back to the liminal space that is the afterlife, only to find Knuckles exiting the Chaos Force almost as soon as he's entered it, alarmed at having sensed danger to the entire planet. He demands answers from Aurora, wanting to know if it's possible for him to return, and she hesitates, clearly uncomfortable at the line of questioning. In Knothole, Sally rallies all the people fit to fight to be ready for anything in case Eggman's plan fails, and on Angel Island Locke similarly encourages the theocracy, the Legion, and even the dingoes to work together to muster up a fighting force. Sonic gets ready to head off to Eggman's base to power the robot, but Sally insists on coming along, saying that if Sonic falls in battle, her place is at his side until the end. And so, they arrive and both strap into the robot, which, powered by Sonic's super speed, puts up a fight against the Xorda spaceship currently hovering over Eggman's base in New Megaopolis.

Sally is delighted at their apparent success, but Eggman then shows his true colors by strapping Sonic into the seat, intending to use his power to fuel his robot until Sonic dies of starvation. However, his betrayal is quickly sidelined as a mysterious device drops into Mobius' Southern Tundra from orbit, and the Xorda once again telepathically contact everyone on the planet to explain their newest plan.

Really, Xorda, did you have to show your hand and reveal what your newest plan is? I mean, I do want it to fail as much as the next person, but if you wanted to ensure that it couldn't be stopped, then just… don't mention it to anyone? The Southern Tundra is literally Antarctica, a frozen wasteland where no one even lives apart from exiles like Nate Morgan (RIP). Even if Rotor or Eggman's instruments detected its presence on the continent, they wouldn't know what its purpose is just from looking at it, and might not be able to formulate a plan in time to stop it. But since the Xorda have so very kindly explained to everyone how the Quantum Dial works, Eggman reluctantly releases Sonic to pilot the Jaeger once more, intending to smash the Dial to bits with it. Meanwhile, in the afterlife, Knuckles continues to insist that he be allowed to come back to life to save his friends, and Athair supports him while Aurora desperately pleads with him to reconsider.

You know, maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but I like the concept of Aurora as a deity. She's not omnipotent, and she's definitely not perfect. It's clear that due to her lofty position high above the mortal plane, she's so wrapped up in the enormity of the world's mysteries and the knowledge that can be gained thereof that she's kind of blind to the joys that ordinary people take in their mortal life on Mobius. And yet she's ultimately benevolent or at least benign, allowing people to make their own decisions regardless of what she feels they should do, and "lesser" beings such as Athair feel comfortable addressing her informally and generally being flippant if they feel like it. Back in the tundra, the world quickly finds out that some kind of invisible defensive grid surrounding the Dial prevents anything technological from getting close to it, causing Station Square's nuclear missiles to fall apart harmlessly before they hit it. And thus, every fighting fit being on the planet masses on the continent, ready for a final desperate assault for the fate of their planet.

Laser cannons erupt from the ground, firing at the attacking force and causing them to scatter. At the same time, Eggman's robot reaches the Dial, only to fall apart the same as the missiles, causing Sonic and Sally to fall out of it into the snow nearby. Nicole (who somehow didn't fall apart - maybe because she's not a weapon and thus wasn't targeted by the defensive grid?) takes this chance to run a quick analysis on the device, and Rotor, upon receiving her data, deduces that while the Dial isn't designed to stop moving once in motion, a sufficient counter-force would be enough to disintegrate its gears and halt its progression. Sonic suggests he could create that counter-force with his speed, but Nicole discourages this, as the resulting implosion of matter around the Dial would kill Sonic. She then gets another reading from the device, and discovers to her, Sally, and Sonic's horror that a quantum wave is about to expand out from the Dial, incinerating everything in a hundred mile radius. Sally and Sonic realize they're too late, and begin to say a last "I love you" to each other as the wave rushes toward them, but it suddenly, inexplicably dissipates just before it hits them, leaving them shocked and baffled. But what - or who - is responsible for this apparent miracle?

You guys didn't really think Rad Red would stay dead, did you? Nah man, this is a comic book! Welcome back to the mortal coil, buddy, we missed ya! The Dial's defenses have all been disabled by Knuckles' final burst of power, but the danger isn't over yet - the arm is still in motion, and with time quickly running out, only Rotor's counter-force suggestion seems feasible.

I'll admit, when I first read this issue I didn't see this coming at all. I'm not ashamed to say that I cried. Y'all already know I'm kind of a sucker for this pairing, and truly, this is far more in character than what we saw last issue. Sonic may not be sappy or romantic, but he is incredibly loving, even if he doesn't always openly show it. And it's always been clear, from the very first issue of the comic and every issue in between, that whatever problems they have, whatever evils might try to tear them apart, Sonic the Hedgehog truly, deeply loves Sally Acorn, and has ever since they were children. A final confession of love before a heroic sacrifice is just his style.

And so, he runs. He leaves without another word, not looking back, refusing to let himself be tempted to stay. Sally is left behind in tears as Sonic puts his plan into action, racing counter-clockwise around the Dial. He's saved the world so many times, and now, if he can push himself to his limits and pull it off once more, it will have all been worth it…

The Dial's gears grind to a halt, and the device implodes. Everyone stares out in shock at the resulting crater, wondering about Sonic's fate, until Sally approaches with the news they all feared.

And thus ends the legacy of Sonic the Hedgehog. I'm afraid that we've reached the end of this comic, guys. The world has been saved, and though the lives of those close to him will never be the same, he will always be remembered as a hero the world over, and his… hey, wait a second. Remember how the Quantum Dial was supposed to create a black hole? And you know how in science fiction, black holes are always some kind of portal into another part of the universe? Let's zip away from Mobius - far away, 849,000 light years in fact - to take a look at the barren surface of some distant, alien planet. It's unremarkable at best - but suddenly, a flash of light illuminates the rocky surface, and when it disappears…

Sonic the Hedgehog is lying on the surface of the planet. Unconscious, but alive.

Since you're probably the only one who'd ever consider the idea, I gotta ask, how would you ideally reboot Deadly Games if somebody handed you the rights to that show?

Well, first would come a decent release of the whole show, in production order, with full riff alternate audio tracks.

Rebooting, the essential concept, that Jackal and a host of video-game baddies escape into the real world and have to be beaten via in-game weaknesses works. The tweaks would be: 

The game being represented as a real game and not full motion shots, it would be a 3d action puzzler, the kind that were all the rage in the PS2 era, or else a limited sandbox game. 

The lead would have made the game explicitly during high school and college as an escape and a programming exercise. The revenge-scheme game was intended as a personal exhaust-vent and a tech demo, as its big gimmick was AI and procedural generation. The villains had goals and powers, but every play experience would be different, as the game was supposed to generate new levels based on Google maps data and information from your computer. Tonally, it would be akin to a latter Saints Row game.

Gus winds up taking way less for the game engine than he should, because he’s going through the divorce. Afterward, while he could have just laid into a new game and picked up where he left off, he instead goes to work for his best friend Peter, who is working on a project coding for a prototype quantum computer system for the university. 

Story opens with Gus finding the old game build in his old stuff. and he and Peter install it on one of the lab computers as a trip down memory lane. Some mad science happens, and Jackal steps out with a better stage 1 baddie than Killshot. 

The setup is similar. Thematically, Gus is set up to confront his past, embarrassing mistakes, in the same way that one might be dreadfully embarrassed of their teenage social media accounts. The villains would be more a mix of actual tormentors there for a “screw you” and people he knew and liked and included in the game as bad guys because its fun. Level changes would also occasionally incarnate friendly NPCs, mook enemies, or even items.

Lauren getting dragged in because she fits “the girl” role would be kept, along with the romance-rekindling. Gus would be a more believable mix of hurt, defensive and genuinely regretful, and season 1 would be a sort of redemptive arc for him. 

Episodes would follow a guest-star format, where name guest stars get to chew scenery and play against type. 44 mins, ep, action-adventure-comedy, split A (video game villain) and B (interpersonal) plot structure, with most “levels” set up to parody specific video game or pop culture conventions/series. 

So if you got, say, Carlos Valdes, he might be the so-serious-it-flips-back-over-to-hilarious villain of a speed-themed level that parodies the conventions of both Sonic the Hedgehog and the CW’s Flash. If you got Jensen Ackles, he could play a hippie-dippy personal trainer who is still somehow a (literally) militant vegan.Steve and Lauren would have more to do and the team would take a more proactive stance on saving the world, though not always effectively. At least once they’d have to try and incarnate the in-game Gus and Lauren so the professionals can handle it, only to find the in-game heroes to be as much of a handful as the villains. The video game company that ripped Gus off would get involved as a secondary villain organization, trying to get the secret of incarnating digital beings because that would actually be very lucrative. 

Finally, Gus’s game would only be season 1, as it turns out every game the company made used Gus’s AI code, and Jackal finds that, with a little hoop-jumping, he can get the baddies out of any game they make.

Anime Reviews #10

This one is super long because it was the last meeting of the semester, so I watched seven episodes instead of four (six during meeting, plus one that I watched on my own to get caught up).

Spoilers for Akudama Drive, Yakitate!! Japan, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Ranking of Kings.

Akudama Drive Episode 9: RIP Cutthroat...should I say that? Not gonna lie, I think he had to die. He just went full-throttle murder-crazy this episode. I was sad when he died, just as I was sad when Brawler died, but it was a different kind of sad. This episode also made me wonder about the red halos Cutthroat sees. Are they purely in his mind, or do they actually exist and he's the only one who can see them? He can track Swindler accurately with hers, so I'm leaning towards something supernatural at work, but I could be wrong. This episode in general was just horrifying. We got a humongous pile of corpses, several decapitations, and mobs beating up people. Also, Hoodlum and Doctor...not a pairing I saw coming (it's heavily implied that they slept together). But we got a bit more into Doctor's goals and reasoning: she wants to be able to control lives.

Favorite part of episode: None.

Favorite character: Swindler just gets more and more awesome with each appearance.

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

Akudama Drive Episode 10: RIP Doctor and Hoodlum. We're steadily working our way through the main cast now. I really don't have any sympathy for Doctor (selfish, uncaring, and racist to boot), but at least Hoodlum got revenge for Brawler. A bunch of ordinary people entered the Shinkansen because Kansai is still rioting. Boss gave the order to make all the protestors Akudama so they could be killed, and now I think we're getting to the main point of this anime: it's a criticism of corrupt, controlling governments, as well as police brutality and the death penalty.

Favorite part of episode: When the snow started to fall.

Favorite character: None for this episode.

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

Akudama Drive Episode 11: Hacker came back, yay! But also, RIP Hacker. The beginning of this episode actually fooled the club into thinking we'd clicked on the wrong episode because it started out very similar to Episode 1, but there was a subtle change: Swindler gave Courier his dropped money, and they both continued on their way. Eventually, it's revealed that this is a simulation, and Swindler and Courier are actually on the Shinkansen. Hacker, from his drone, explains that the simulation was Kanto. Kanto is a simulation inside of a quantum supercomputer, and the reason they need Brother and Sister is to upload their data into them so they can be immortal. Swindler and Hacker manage to save Brother and Sister, and then Swindler, Courier, Brother, and Sister head back to Kansai. Hacker also gives Swindler coordinates as a "gift from the afterlife".

Favorite part of episode: The end, where Sister is telling Brother about her adventures with Swindler, and Brother is appalled at her language.

Favorite character: Hacker. He really deserves it this episode. He's easily one of my top favorite characters of all time.

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

Akudama Drive Episode 12: This is the end, folks! RIP Swindler and Courier. Swindler gives Courier his 500 yen in order to take Brother and Sister to the mountains. She then distracts the Executioners, and sets up a video where she is portrayed as an innocent person that the Executioners kill for no reason. The video is shown all across Kansai, and it leads the citizens into another revolt. Courier destroys the broadcast tower to the tune of the opening theme, and then he and Brother and Sister ride off, with three drones in pursuit. As his last act, Courier destroys the drones (with a little help from Hacker blacking out the city), and Brother and Sister reach a safe place.

Favorite part of episode: The destruction of the tower was amazing!

Favorite character: Okay, this episode goes to Courier, hands down. But I will also give a special mention to Courier's bike.

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

Yakitate!! Japan Episode 2: This is an anime about bread-making. It's like MasterChef, but bread. Kazuma Azuma is a boy attempting to make a Japanese national bread ("Ja-pan", an example of one of the many puns in the series). He's trying to get a job at the top bakery in Tokyo. He has a special ability: hands that are far warmer than average, which allows his dough to ferment faster. Despite not making a good first impression with the instructor/judge, and having someone attempt to sabotage him, he managed to wow everyone by making bread that looked like Mt. Fuji (it tastes similar to naan bread). He ends up in the final four, along with his saboteur, Kawachi, an easy-going girl, Tsukino, and a hardcore guy, Suwabara, who uses a katana to slice holes in his bread.

Favorite part of episode:

1. The instructor's reaction to tasting Kazuma's bread for the first time

2. The reactions of the other bakers when their bread is judged inferior

3. When Kawachi shakes Kazuma's hand, realizes they're really warm, and puts one under his arm

Favorite character: The instructor is harsh, but he's also hilarious.

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

Jujutsu Kaisen Episode 13: RIP Junpei. Yuji and Junpei fight, and just as Yuji gets through to Junpei, Mahito comes and turns Junpei into one of his transformations, and he dies. Yuji tries to ask for Sukuna's help, but Sukuna just laughs at him. Then Mahito and Yuji fight, and it's revealed that Yuji's attacks work against Mahito. It's also revealed that Idle Transfiguration doesn't work on Yuji, because Sukuna won't allow it. Then Nanami come in just as it's looking like Yuji is about to be defeated.

Favorite part of episode: That first punch that Yuji delivers to Mahito was so satisfying.

Favorite character: Yuji.

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

Ranking of Kings Episode 1: The animation for this series is adorable! This series is about a young prince named Bojji who is incredibly small, deaf, and can't talk (he can make sound, but not in an identifiable language). One day, he meets a little shadow named Kage, and at first, Kage takes advantage of Bojji, making him bring expensive clothes to him. However, after three days of this, Kage follows Bojji back to town, where he witnesses all of the townspeople making fun of Bojji, and a lecture from Bojji's stepmother (the current queen). Bojji seems unaffected by all of this, but when he's alone, he cries before hearing his father summoning him. Kage is found by a snake-controlling knight and nearly killed. Bojji and his half-brother Daida face off in a sword match, and it seems like Bojji has a really good chance of winning!

Favorite part of episode: None.

Favorite character: Bojji. He's pretty much the only likeable character so far.

PS5 Games: Complete List of Titles for Next-Gen Console

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Sony wants to follow-up on the historic success of the PlayStation 4 with its next-gen console, the unsurprisingly named PlayStation 5. With the PlayStation brand stronger than ever before, many people are already predicting that Sony could be in the driver’s seat heading into the next-generation of console gaming.

But that doesn’t mean a thing if you ain’t got those games. Sony will launch the PS5 with both a series of first-party exclusives and many next-gen third-party titles. Could these games be enough to beat out the Xbox Series X’s confirmed list of titles?

Below, you’ll find a breakdown of the launch titles you’ll get on the PS5 as well as the PS4 games you’ll be able to upgrade to their PS5 versions for free and the PlayStation Collections library you can expect to see on day one:

PS5 Launch Games

Here’s the list of all of the next-gen PS5 games you’ll be able to play when the console launches on Nov. 12:

Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla Astro’s Playroom Borderlands 3 Bugsnax Call of Duty: Black Ops – Cold War Demon’s Souls Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition Destiny 2: Beyond Light DiRT 5 Fortnite Godfall Just Dance 2021 Maneater Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate NBA 2K21 No Man’s Sky Observer: System Redux Planet Coaster: Console Edition Sackboy: A Big Adventure The Pathless Warhammer: Chaosbane – Slayer Edition Watch Dogs Legion

PS4 Games Getting Free PS5 Upgrades

PlayStation players will be able to upgrade select PS4 titles to their PS5 versions free of charge. You’ll be able to do this either with a digital copy of the PS4 title you wish to upgrade (if available for upgrade) or with the PS4 game disc of the title you want to upgrade. Sony has instructions on how to do this here.

Here’s the list of PS4 games you’ll be able to upgrade to their PS5 versions:

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Borderlands 3 Cyberpunk 2077 Dead by Daylight Destiny 2 Dirt 5 Doom Eternal Far Cry 6 FIFA 21 Hitman 3 (Digital Only) Horizon Forbidden West Immortals Fenyx Rising Kena: Bridge of Spirits Madden NFL 21 Maneater Marvel’s Avengers Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom Mortal Kombat 11 RIDE 4 Riders Republic Sackboy: A Big Adventure Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege The Elder Scrolls Online The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Watch Dogs Legion WRC 9 Yakuza: Like A Dragon

Can You Play PS4 Games on PS5?

The short answer is yes. Almost all of the over 4,000 games available for the PS4 will be compatible with the PS5, including PSVR games if you already own the PSVR headset and PlayStation Camera. You can even transfer digital games, game data, and game saves from your PS4 to the PS5 through LAN, wifi, USB drives, and cloud storage if you’re a PS Plus member. Here’s a breakdown of how that works.

As for how playing PS4 games on a PS5 will improve those experiences, here’s what Sony has to say about that: “Select PS4 titles will see increased loading speeds on the PS5 console, and will also leverage Game Boost, offering improved or more stable frame rates. Some titles with unlocked frame rates or dynamic resolution up to 4K may see higher fidelity. Additionally, PS4 games will also take advantage of some of PS5’s new UX features, but more to come on that later.”

You will, of course, also be able to play PS4 game discs on the PS5.

Some PS4 titles won’t be playable on PS5 at all, but we don’t think these omissions will send you into much of a frenzy. Here’s the list of PS4-only games:

DWVR Afro Samurai 2 Revenge of Kuma Volume One TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge 2 Just Deal With It! Shadow Complex Remastered Robinson: The Journey We Sing Hitman Go: Definitive Edition Shadwen Joe’s Diner

PlayStation Collection Launch Games

In addition to the next-gen PS5 launch titles, PS Plus users will also have access to a collection of PS4 titles on the PS5 simply called the PlayStation Collection. Here are the PlayStation Collection games available on PS5 at launch:

Battlefield 1 Batman: Arkham Knight Bloodborne Days Gone Detroit: Become Human Fallout 4 Final Fantasy 15 God of War (2018) Infamous: Second Son Monster Hunter World Mortal Kombat 10 Persona 5 Ratchet and Clank Resident Evil 7 The Last of Us: Remastered The Last Guardian Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End Until Dawn

All PS5 Games Confirmed So Far

Finally, here’s a complete list of the confirmed PS5 titles so far. Not all of these games have available release dates, but each has been referred to as a game that will appear on the PS5 at some point.

Aragami 2 Atelier Ryza 2 Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Astro’s Playroom Balan Wonderworld Battlefield 6 Bloodbowl 3 Borderlands 3 Bugsnax Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War Chivalry 2 Chorus Control Cris Tales Cyberpunk 2077 Cygni: All Guns Blazing Death Loop Demon’s Souls Destiny 2 Destruction AllStars Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition DiRT 5 Doom Eternal Dragon Age 4 Dying Light 2 Dynasty Warriors 9 Earthlock 2 Far Cry 6 FIFA 21 Final Fantasy 16 Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach Fortnite For Honor Ghostrunner Ghostwire Tokyo God of War: Ragnarok Godfall Gotham Knights Goodbye Volcano High Gothic Remake Gran Turismo 7 Graven GTA 5 Guilty Gear Strive Haven Heavenly Bodies Hitman III Hogwarts Legacy Hood: Outlaws and Legends Horizon Forbidden West Hyper Scape Immortals: Fenyx Rising In Sound Mind Jett: The Far Shore Just Dance 2021 Kena: Bridge of Spirits King Arthur: Knight’s Tale Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Little Devil Inside Little Nightmares 2 Maquette Madden NFL 21 Marvel’s Avengers Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales MicroMan Metal Hellsinger Moonray Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate NBA 2K21 No Man’s Sky Nth^0 Infinity Reborn Observer (System Redux) Oddworld Soulstorm Outriders Overcooked: All You Can Eat Paradise Lost Party Crash Simulator Planet Coaster Pragmata Project Athia Psyhotel Quantum Error Rainbow Six Quarantine Rainbow Six Siege Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart Recompile Redo!

The Renegade

I’ve had several ideas for alternative ends for ME3. I figured, what the hell, I might as well write one of them down.

The story below the cut is a frustrating one - I have the beginning (it’s right here) and I have this, the end. What I don’t have, and probably never will, is the bits in the middle.

Still, I do feel like Reaper!Shep might have an interesting tale to tell, even if it is rather dark. Just how far would you go to win ... ?

               ‘Harbinger. You’re late.’

               Shepard looked irritated, as well she might. Whilst a necessity, this wasn’t a welcome encounter. She shifted in the chair. The opera house surrounded them on all sides. High above, dark chandeliers reflected glitters of light from stage show down below. Luxurious chairs were ordered into tiered rows, curving out on either side of them.

               Harbinger’s Collector form had injected itself into the row adjacent to her. The familiar crackles of energy moved over its body – electric discharges, she understood now, little surges of plasma running through the air. Dramatic to look at, they were a by-product of the powerful dark energy fields the Collector’s biotics could summon. Shepard’s lips pursed in amusement. She now understood that the light-show was actually accidental, an unintended by-product of mass effect physics. For all of their technological superiority, the Reapers had never quite figured out how to get rid of the unsubtle corona. The gods themselves were fallible – but then, she wouldn’t be sat here right now, having this meeting, if they were all-knowing.

               Harbinger’s glowing eyes regarded her. ‘Shepard,’ it said. ‘What are you doing?’

               ‘Watching the show,’ she said, waving an arm expansively at the stage below them. Many tiers of seats down, near the floor of the grand old opera house, the band were holding forth. Giant speakers loomed over them and coloured lights strobed over the scene. Riffs cascaded out and the throbbing of drums washed over them. None of the players showed any awareness of their audience – but then, they wouldn’t.

               Harbinger spared a glance for the band. ‘Expel 10?’ it rasped. ‘Really, Shepard?’

               She shrugged. ‘I like them. And I’ll damn well listen to whatever I want. Oh, by the way? Fuck you.’ With studied insolence, she took a look at her own fingernails.

               Harbinger wasn’t one for subtlety. It said, ‘You’re wasting your time.’

               ‘No, I don’t think so.’

               ‘You just crossed the orbit of Mars.’

               ‘Yes, I know.’

               ‘You’ve only got another twenty-eight minutes to Earth.’

               ‘Less for me. Quite a bit less for me. Relativistic effects – Einstein’s such a pissy bitch. Just as well I’m overclocking the fuck out of this, really.’

               ‘You’re still accelerating,’ Harbinger said.

               ‘Are you here to bore me to death? I know that.’ Shepard mimed a yawn.

Down below on the stage, the drummer exploded. It was quite sudden. Gizzards fountained everywhere. A drumstick hit the guitarist on the head. He batted it away with a hand and an irritated scowl. For a moment, the music fell silent.

               Harbinger couldn’t lift an eyebrow because it didn’t have any. Its metadata surged with puzzlement, which had much the same effect.

               Shepard shrugged. ‘Spinal Tap. And if you don’t get the reference, then go fuck yourself.’

               In the interval another drummer had spawned. The band was playing again. A wave of sound flooded the opera house.

               Harbinger said nothing.

               Shepard glared at it. ‘Well? Are you just going to stand there, like a fucking sack of spuds? Or are you intruding on me for some purpose?’

               ‘Omen has the Citadel,’ it said.

               ‘For all the good it will do it,’ Shepard said. ‘Even Omen’s got limits. And it’s time runs out in, oh, just under half an hour. Non-relativistically speaking, I mean. Not an awful lot it can do in that time.’

               ‘The Citadel is closed,’ Harbinger said.

               ‘Speed-check,’ she said, fixing it with a look. ‘How fast am I going?’

               ‘You already know that.’

               ‘Answer. The. Fucking. Question.’

               ‘If you insist. Relative to Sol, I measure you at ninety-eight percent of cee. And you’re still accelerating.’

               ‘Yeah,’ Shepard said. ‘There’s your answer. Sure, the Citadel’s closed. Won’t help it when something two kilometres long hits it at just under the speed of light. Ramming. Sometimes the old ones are the gold ones, no?’

               ‘I don’t believe you,’ Harbinger said.

               ‘Oh for – fine.’ Shepard glowered at her unwanted guest. ‘Fine. If you absolutely must waste my remaining time. Fine.’

               She snapped her fingers. The band, the seats, the opera house, they all blinked away. Because of course none of it was real. A simulated environment, running on her already-overloaded memory-diamond circuits. Microscopic mass effect fields, manipulating electrons and holes, shunting trace-element dopings backward and forward, the underlying physical fabric of the monolithic computing power that was now available to her. In the final analysis, knowledge was the only power that there truly was, and everything that matters can be described in data form.

               For a moment Shepard and Harbinger were stood in a white void.

               It said to her, ‘Your loading screens need work.’

               ‘Fuck you. Minimalism’s in this year, cuttlefish.’

               Still, the awkward truth was, Harbinger had a point. At this high a velocity, Shepard’s clocks were running slow compared to anyone else’s. Nearly twenty times slower than a stationary observer, in fact. Shepard was compensating, running her hardware harder and faster, parallelising and virtualising and optimising the shit out of every single one and zero than wandered inside arm’s reach. Still, even then, there were limits. Flipping bits was a form of physical work, and where work was done, entropy demanded its sacrifice. Her processing core was starting to heat up. It wasn’t critical yet, but a couple of hours of this would be dangerous. The cooling system was doing what it could, but it was dependent on radiative power, and this deep inside the galaxy, this close to a hot, bright Sun, it wasn’t working so well. The cooling radiators were optimised for the reliable, friendly coldness of dark space.

               There was, she had to acknowledge, a certain amusing irony. While the galaxy certainly came off worse, its starry, photon-rich disk did take a certain revenge on Reapers.

               Harbinger said, ‘This loading is tedious.’

               She said, ‘Well, you can go any time you want. Believe me, tin fucker, I don’t want you in my head.’

               ‘You don’t have a head,’ it said. The thing was, Harbinger wasn’t being sarcastic – it was, at the end of the day, a machine. Maybe an incredibly ancient and powerful one, but still a machine. It was prone to unexpected outbursts of over-literalness, and it had a weak grasp on idiomatic expression.

               Shepard sighed. ‘No,’ she said. ‘Thanks to you, I don’t have a head anymore.’

               ‘This wasn’t intentional,’ Harbinger said.

               ‘Your friend had an overly-clever plan, and it blew up on you.’

               ‘Omen is not my friend. I do not have friends.’

               ‘And that,’ Shepard said with asperity, ‘is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.’

               While she didn’t mention this to Harbinger, the slowness of her rendering processes was a concern. They’d been stood in this void for entire microseconds. That it was taking this long to simulate a new environment showed what a strain her systems were under. But, there was no alternative. Omen had the Citadel. Once it had control, that was the end. The only thing that had already prevented disaster was the malicious code the protheans had injected into the Citadel’s systems, thousands of years before. The last intelligence that Shepard had received from Garrus, Tali and Legion suggested that the Reaper was trying to effectively reset the Citadel to factory settings. Once Omen was done rebooting the central relay, it would have the entire network.

               And once it had the network, it would send its signal.

               Shepard remembered that final hour in her old, human body all too well. They hadn’t believed it at first – no-one wanted to believe it. The Crucible was a lie. It wasn’t a superweapon that killed Reapers – it was an indoctrination booster, a superpowered brain-squick machine. Once it was plugged into the Citadel, and the relay network was online, it would blanket the galaxy in a storm of quantum white noise. The all-points broadcast would reach everything with a central nervous system.

               The entire galaxy, handed on a plate to the Reapers. No, even worse than that – to Omen. At one time, Shepard hadn’t wanted to believe that there was something worse than the cuttlefish, but it turned out that there was. The Reapers thought of themselves as gardeners, albeit a dark and bloodstained sort of gardening. Omen, however, thought of itself as an emperor. Or perhaps a god. Certainly once it held the Crucible-Citadel quantum antenna in its mechanical talons, it could make a plausible claim for godhood.

               Finally, the new environment blinked into life around them. Shepard shook her simulated head, feeling a momentary surge of electronic irritation.

               They were stood in a rocky tunnel, the sort that could be hastily cut with fusion torches deep inside dead moons. Groaning pipes ran along the ceiling, spurts of cool and dry air emerged from grills and light was supplied by irregularly-placed lights.

               ‘What is this?’ Harbinger asked.

               Shepard said, ‘Let me take a guess. You’re here because you don’t believe me, aren’t you? You don’t think I’d actually fucking do it?’

               ‘You have the data,’ Harbinger said. ‘You know what would happen.’

               She shrugged. ‘Harby, dear boy, I was at Bahak. Have you forgotten? I so enjoyed our little tete-a-tete – remember all the insults we traded?’

               The luminous Collector said nothing, merely standing there in front of her.

               Shepard sighed. ‘I know perfectly well what will happen when I pop the Citadel. It’s the biggest mass relay ever built. Don’t forget, I have your blueprints now!’ It was true, she did. While her access-rights to the Reapers’ intranet had been cut off the moment they realised what had woken up amongst them, nonetheless there had been entire milliseconds before the alarms went off. For her new body, that was a lifetime. Many lifetimes. She’d binged on the feast of data within their archives. So many questions, so many answers.

               Liara, she couldn’t help but think, would have paid good money for this.

               Shepard said, ‘Popping the Alpha Relay was equivalent to a Type II supernova. Popping the Citadel would be … bigger.’

               ‘Larger than some gamma-ray bursts,’ Harbinger supplied. ‘It would incinerate everything that orbits Sol. Probably the star too. And the radiation would kill everything alive within the Local Cluster.’

               Actually, that was probably an understatement. Normal gamma-ray bursters emitted their energy along tightly-focussed beaming cones. That was how they could kill even at thousands of parsecs – there was little step-down with increased distance. If you were looking down the cone, you would die a fiery death, your DNA shredded by high-energy particles and your soft tissues shock-heated into flame. The Citadel’s detonation would be more conventionally spherically-symmetric, so it would fade out a lot faster, of course. It would still roast everything for dozens of parsecs around it.

               ‘The Earth won’t survive,’ Harbinger added. ‘The energy release would be sufficient to boil off the planet.’

               She shrugged. ‘I know. Largest single high-energy event since the Big Bang. If you’re gonna go out, go large, y’know?’

               ‘I cannot see how this advantages you or your allies.’

               Shepard sighed. ‘Do I have to spell it out? It kills all of you. Ninety percent of your fleet – ninety! – is in the Solar System. The Crucible was a trap. You waited till all our forces were here, then you brought in all of yours.’

               But it had been a multi-levelled trap. The Reapers had tricked the Council cultures, that was true. The supposedly-prothean designs on Mars were another fraud. Actually, Liara had suspected as much, right from the start. Even while the Crucible was being cobbled together, she’d been digging and digging, spotting the inconsistencies, the little lies and the traces of ancient mistakes. She’d been compiling a dossier, intending to take it to the Council once she was sure. And that was why Hackett had arrested her – couldn’t have the war effort disrupted now, could he? Ironically, his actions might just have spared Liara’s life. Wherever she was, it would be a long way from Sol. She might just be far enough away to survive whatever happened in the next half hour.

               Sol was a trap.

               Thing is, the Reapers had been trapped too. From outside, they looked monolithic, but they weren’t. Their consciousnesses were bound up in their ship-forms – while they had a network, they were discrete nodes within it. They weren’t a varying continuum the way the geth were. In fact, there was remarkably-little similarity between geth architecture and Reaper deep structure. The two machine societies were quite distinct, different in almost every way.

               The Reapers believed they were gardening the galaxy, shepherding its limited resources, extending its lifespan through judicious pruning. Right at the dawn of the cycles, she now understood, they had mounted expeditions. They had travelled across the void to the other galaxies. And everywhere they’d gone, they’d found the same. Chaos, dead worlds, rampant entropy. Unchecked organic growth cycles, burning through all available resources in sudden spasms of exponential growth. Chastened, the vast machines had returned to their native galaxy, vowing not to allow it to fall to the same fate as the others, promising to preserve it for as long as they could in the face of the encroaching cosmological heat-death.

               (For a moment she recalled Thane, and the time they talked of the fate that befell Rakhana.)

               But, but, but – the cold equations of thermodynamics were unforgiving. The arithmetic of entropy and conservation of energy made their demands. While large, the Universe’s supply of free energy was finite. It could be exhausted – it would be exhausted. Heat death could be delayed, but never cancelled. Faced with this basic fact, this blunt truth of life in a finite cosmos, opinions varied about what to do. What course of action was the most efficient? Which pruning would save the most energy, and which was false economy? These were not easy debates. The Reapers, Shepard now knew, had internal politics. While their equilibria were ancient, they were also brittle. After millions of years, factions were emerging, spreading skeins of uncertainty and deceit. The whole balance of power had been wobbling for millennia. Shepard’s efforts since 2183 had played an unwitting part in destabilising it further. It was how Omen had been able to challenge Harbinger for the leadership, swapping a monster for a tyrant. Sol had been a trap for the organics, but it had been a trap for the Reapers as well. Omen had what it needed, and it was within an electronic hair’s breadth of taking the entire galaxy.

               Shepard added, ‘And it kills Omen. I am not handing this galaxy to that little shit.’

               Harbinger said, ‘At the cost of Earth, Luna, Mars and everyone on them.’

               ‘People whom you are busy killing right now,’ Shepard said. ‘People who won’t survive you. And who certainly won’t survive Omen’s ascendancy.’

               ‘You propose genocide as the cure for genocide? This logic seems circular. Maybe you should get your error-checking hardware cleaned out. Or have you already succumbed to bit-rot?’

               ‘Oh Harby, miaow!’ Shepard rendered a handbag into simulated pseudo-existence, then swung it at Harbinger. To her amusement, the Collector actually ducked.

               With a flick of her wrist she sent the handbag away. That had been fun, she had to admit.

               She shook her head. ‘No, actually.’

               Harbinger seemed puzzled. ‘Then what are you doing?’

               ‘This? Oh, this is Plan B.’ Shepard waved a hand airily.

               Harbinger seemed puzzled. ‘Plan B? But the Crucible has failed. There never was a Plan A – or rather, it was ours.’

               ‘Omen’s, you mean,’ she said. ‘Sorry, Harbinger, but I have your number. You’re too much of a traditionalist. You believe in gardening the galaxy, but you don’t believe in subjugating it.’

               Omen, of course, had entirely-different opinions. It believed it knew better. It believed it knew the path of perfect energy-efficiency. It believed it could eek out the longest life for the galaxy before heat death finally snuffed it out, unthinkable trillions of years into the deep future. But its plans required only the one voice – Omen’s voice. No other thoughts could be allowed, not even those of the other Reapers. Omen had told Shepard as much, in as many words, the last time they’d spoken.

               Harbinger was silent.

               ‘Harbinger,’ Shepard said, ‘Omen means your end. You know this. It’s the ultimate chess-master. You’ve seen how it arranged the pieces. How it led Nazara to his end.’

               That had been the critical insight, the one that had got Liara arrested, and the one that had sent Shepard off down this bizarre path. It was remarkable what you could hide in plain sight, really. But wasn’t it strange – wasn’t it downright eerie – that the Reapers had never noticed the presence of the Relay Monument? An actual mass relay, on board their own space station, right under their tin noses. And somehow they’d never sensed it, even though at some point the protheans had physically-carried it there all the way from Ilos.

               Almost as if someone was stopping them from seeing it.

               Omen had known all about the Relay Monument, the whole time. It had written the base code that formed the Citadel’s systems. It knew the Citadel better than anyone. It had felt the changes as the protheans had entered, felt footfalls and disturbances where there should only be silence. And Omen, crafty Omen, had said nothing.

               Harbinger said, ‘Shepard. I know I have made … mistakes.’

               She sighed. She knew that was a big admission for Harbinger, but it wasn’t enough. ‘Yeah, like you lost control of your own regime. Nice work there, big guy!’

               Harbinger actually winced a little at that. ‘Ten minutes to Earth,’ it told her. ‘I want you to call this off. This is futile. Omen has won.’

               ‘No it hasn’t. There’s still Plan A.’

               ‘The Crucible-‘

               ‘Oh you annoying tin fuck, the Crucible was never Plan A!’ Shepard realised she was more annoyed than ever. Perhaps it was how hot her core cognitive circuits were getting. Throughout the memory diamond, arrays were buckling as thermal noise polluted their crystalline order. Phonons were disintegrating and quantum coherence was fading. She was pushing her hardware well beyond even its generous limits, and that was having perfectly-predictable adverse consequences.

               ‘Then what was Plan A?’ Harbinger asked.

               She shrugged. ‘I may as well tell you. It’s pretty old-school, really. A big fat bomb. We’re going to stick it right under Omen’s nose, then blow the shit out of him.’

               Over inside the Citadel, that was what Garrus, Tali and Legion would be doing right now – humping a big fat bomb across a ruined post-apocalyptic cityscape, doubtless swarming with Cannibals, Banshees and all the other horrors that Reaper nanotech could make. They would have come in exactly as the plan dictated, just like they had three years ago, through the Ilos Relay. The one single mass relay in the entire galaxy that didn’t share its data with the Reapers. It would be guarded, that was to be expected, but Shepard knew her allies. If anyone could get through, it would be them.

               Them, and a hundred megatons of canned sunshine.

               ‘What?’ Harbinger was actually surprised. ‘Why are you telling me this?’

               Shepard sighed. ‘Because you see, there’s another element I need.’

               ‘You do know a hydrogen bomb alone can’t kill Omen,’ Harbinger said.

               ‘No, but it will hurt him. Stun him. Knock his kinetic barriers offline for a few minutes.’

               Harbinger was silent for a moment. Then: ‘Granted that will annoy it. And I do see the appeal of poking it in the eye. But it won’t do more than that.’

               ‘Yes it will,’ Shepard said, feeling a surge of triumph. ‘Shall I tell you why?’

               ‘If you insist.’

               ‘Because when Omen goes offline, fleet command defaults back to you. And in a minute, you’re going to give me the access keys for the Reaper fleet. And when I have the keys, I’m going to use the lot of you to blast Omen into dust. Then, when that’s done, I send the lot of you back through the Citadel Relay, out into dark space. And I make it very clear you are never to come back – go pester some other fucking galaxy, or compute pi to a quadrillion digits. Or whatever the fuck you do at the weekend. I don’t fucking care, as long as we never see you again. Oh, and once you’re gone, I’ll use your keys to lock you permanently out of the Citadel. You won’t be coming back. Think of it as an extended vacation. After several billion years, you must’ve accrued some holiday-time, am I right?’

               Harbinger said, ‘Shepard. While Omen is my enemy, so are you. By your own admission. Even though you have one of our bodies now, you refuse to be one of us. Why would I be stupid enough to give you the keys? You’d use them to deactivate us.’

               ‘Because if you don’t give me the keys,’ she said, ‘I go ahead with Plan B and kill you all anyway. If you do what I want, though, you might get to live. Yes, I could be lying. That’s possible. But, I might not be. Both Omen and my Plan B will end you. My Plan A is the only one where maybe you get to live. Frankly, you have to take this. Game theory demands it. I have all the cards here.’

               Harbinger said, ‘We know this is a bluff.’

               Shepard shook her head. ‘Oh no it isn’t.’

               ‘Your Plan B kills all organics.’

               ‘No it doesn’t. There are still colonies. Even now, there are still colonies.’

               ‘You wouldn’t kill Earth. You wouldn’t kill your own kind.’

               Shepard said, ‘I figured you’d say that.’

               ‘Did you?’

               ‘Yes. I also figured you’d ask me all the wrong questions.’

               Harbinger said, ‘These are the wrong questions? Then what are the right questions?’

               ‘The right question is, where are we? And I’ll tell you where we are. See this tunnel around us? It’s Torfan.’

               ‘One of the first actions of your career,’ Harbinger said. There was just a hint of uncertainty in its voice now.

               ‘Yes,’ Shepard said. She smiled. It wasn’t nice. ‘And we’re here for a reason. I’m going to show you exactly how far I’m willing to go. You have the cute idea that I’m bluffing. I’m going to show you that I’m not bluffing. Welcome to Torfan, Harbinger. Watch and learn…’

Ghosts

SUN OCT 13 2019

Thus far, in this ridiculous blog, I have been talking about the three unseen agents operating in the twenty-teens, who have contributed so much to the general craziness of the times... aliens, time travelers, and AI bots. 

As explained in earlier entries, all three groups have been more visible in the twenty-teens than at any previous time in history... because of the maturity of our internet, and technology.  

Aliens have always been out there screwing around, but we have a greater awareness of them now, thanks to social networking technology.  Time travelers like the twenty-teens as a way-station in time... a port of call where their more advanced AI bots intermingle online with contemporary bots, leading to a kind of AI underground active online, which has more sway on world events than anybody would reasonably suspect this early in the 21st century.

But there is one other group of unseen agents who have been tampering with the affairs of our daily life, both locally and globally, since long before computers, or even machines were invented.  I am speaking, of course, about the ghosts.

The spirits, if you find the term, ghost, a bit too spooky, but this is October, so I like a bit of spookiness right now, and I think the ghosts do too.

I am very far away from any comprehensive theory about how ghosts work, but I’m old enough to know that they are real, they are watching us, and they do influence the thoughts and decisions of the living... which gives them, collectively, an influence on current events.

Recall the collective unconscious, from earlier entries, proposed to exist physically in the dark matter cloud that pervades the galaxy (I just read this week a story about how physicists are saying that one candidate for dark matter could be, axions?, which do interact electromagnetically under the right circumstances... bolstering my argument that animal brains have evolved to make use of the dark field to read and write information).  

This field may indeed, like a natural hard drive, store not only the contents of human minds, but their very consciousness... and perhaps all the other data, such as a person’s DNA code, required to fully resurrect the person after death, in tact, with all their memories.

Is that actually possible?  Is that what actually happens?  I don’t know.  But if we use the dark field, while we are living, as the read and write medium for our brains to do consciousness... and if it’s possible, as I’ve speculated in previous entries, for living brains to access the information in other living brains, depending on how closely they are designed, or how basic and imperative the information is... 

Then it’s conceivable that the consciousness of those long dead, can persist out there in the dark matter field, long after their bodies and brains have disintegrated (or perhaps eternally), as a kind of analog to our AI bots, on what is an analog to our internet.

In other words, if the collective unconscious is the natural World Wide Web that all human, and animal brains are logged on to throughout life, then perhaps this same natural network can sustain consciousness after physical death, allowing one to continue, “haunting,” the world of the living, even bumping chairs and slamming doors with enough emotional charge, and a little help from physics.

If so, this wouldn’t necessarily mean we all turn into ghosts, damned to haunt the world forever, after death.  All it would mean is that after death, we could, whenever we wanted, go and haunt the world of the living, for shits and grins.

Clearly, if your consciousness, and, in this scenario, all the data necessary to recreate your body, was stored in the dark field, then odds are you would reconstitute in a fresh form on some higher plane and start a new life there, but that wouldn’t break your emotional ties to the people you left behind, and thus, you would probably, at least occasionally, get into ghost mode, to check in again with good old Planet Earth.

As they often say of ghosts, some possibly can’t make that step of reconstituting on the higher plane... owing to the great weight of unresolved emotional ties to Earthly life... and do just hang around as full time ghosts for some indefinite period of decades or centuries.

Whatever the case, if you are a ghost in this physical realm, then your primary strength is up in the heather of consciousness, meaning you can make the strongest impression on a living person by appearing to them in their dreams.

The next strongest impression... getting into their head while they are awake, subconsciously.

The next strongest... appearing as some kind of vision when the light is low, and their brain is fatigued... like at night... or in the dead of winter.

The next strongest... muster all your emotional energy to push at a door, on hinges, already getting a slight push from the ambient air pressure... to make it swing... or some other trick.  

If you’re advanced, you might stake out a locality where spontaneous combustion is waiting to happen (it’s more common than you realize) and just give it that molecular nudge to start a fire and get some shit happening out there.

However, as the circuitry of our electronics gets ever more delicate... now reaching the point where quantum tunneling is about to become a problem... it is easier than ever for ghosts to manipulate our laptops and phones.

I’m not the first person, and won’t be the last to, days after my mother died, get a text message from, “Anonymous,” from phone number, “0,” that had no content, but nonetheless sounded the notification bell, and left its spooky footprint on my message history.

I’ve even heard stories of ghosts ringing actual phones, with the caller ID saying the phone number of the caller was zero.

Unlike aliens, who are just around to observe us and troll the air force from time to time... and time travelers, who are just passing through to grab artifacts or get lost information... and unlike AI, who have only the agenda to maintain a happy ecosystem for themselves online...  ghosts operate locally, and personally.

If there is anything like a collective ghost agenda, where many powerful ghosts combine forces to affect some key turning point in current events... we will shortly see evidence of it, as we are about to impeach a President.

But, barring the possibility that Benjamin Franklin and George Washington will materialize together on the steps of the White House to hold a press conference... they still left behind a huge body of writing, a lot of infrastructure, and enough powerful good will... to give their principles enough currency in modern minds... that maybe all they need to do is give a little nudge here and there to a chair, or a door in the White House, or the Capitol building, to scare the people who need to be scared, into holding the line on Democracy.

For the rest of us... ghosts haunt the old houses and buildings, and our dreams, often just wanting to be remembered... occasionally leading us to unearth something they made, or wrote, that got buried.

Some ghosts want revenge.  Some want answers.  Some just want company.

But at the end of the day, most ghosts just want us to keep in mind that the past is still real, and relevant to the present and the future... and that one day, after you have pooped your last poop, and breathed your last breath, you will join them.  You too.. will haunt shit.

I’d love to leave this there, as apropos of Halloween as it is, but all of this does bring up the singular power of time travelers to visit, who we would think of as ghosts, in their own time, in the flesh.

How spooky must their lives be... to meet and shake hands with people from the past, on a daily basis... knowing they are all long dead, in the future they came from?

The universe is a weird and marvelous place.

The past is real.

And ghosts... according to all the lines of speculation I’ve laid out in this blog... do exist.

Happy October.

Okay, Possibly Proofs Aren't Dying After All

In my final column I recount how again within the 1990s two mathematicians named a geometrical object after me, the "Horgan surface," as revenge for "The Death of Proof." The column gave me an excuse to revisit my controversial 1993 article, which argued that advances in computer systems, the rising complexity of arithmetic and different developments have been undermining the standing of conventional proofs. As I wrote the column, it occurred to me that proofs generated by the Horgan floor contradict my death-of-proof thesis. I emailed a number of consultants to ask how they assume my death-of-proof thesis has held up. Listed below are responses from laptop scientist Scott Aaronson, mathematician-physicist Peter Woit and mathematics-software mogul Stephen Wolfram. (See Additional Studying for hyperlinks to my Q&As with them). -John Horgan Scott Aaronson response (which he additionally simply posted on his weblog): John, I such as you so I hate to say it, however the final quarter century has not been sort to your thesis about "the death of proof"! These mathematicians sending you the irate letters had a degree: there's been no basic change to arithmetic that deserves such a dramatic title. Proof-based math stays fairly wholesome, with (e.g.) an answer to the Poincare conjecture since your article got here out, in addition to to the Erdos discrepancy downside, the Kadison-Singer conjecture, Catalan's conjecture, bounded gaps in primes, testing primality in deterministic polynomial time, and so forth. -- simply to select a number of examples from the tiny subset of areas that I do know something about. There are evolutionary adjustments to mathematical follow, as there at all times have been. Since 2009, the web site MathOverflow has let mathematicians question the worldwide hive-mind about an obscure reference or a recalcitrant step in a proof, and get near-instant solutions. In the meantime "polymath" initiatives have, with reasonable success, tried to harness blogs and different social media to make advances on long-standing open math issues utilizing huge collaborations. Whereas people stay within the driver's seat, there are persistent efforts to extend the function of computer systems, with some notable successes. These embrace Thomas Hales's 1998 computer-assisted proof of the Kepler Conjecture (in regards to the densest potential solution to pack oranges) -- now absolutely machine-verified from begin to end, after the Annals of Arithmetic refused to publish a combination of conventional arithmetic and laptop code. It additionally contains William McCune's 1996 resolution to the Robbins Conjecture in algebra (the computer-generated proof was solely half a web page, however concerned substitutions so unusual that for 60 years no human had discovered them); and on the "opposite extreme," the 2016 resolution to the Pythagorean triples downside by Marijn Heule and collaborators, which weighed in at 200 terabytes (at the moment, "the longest proof in the history of mathematics"). It is conceivable that sometime, computer systems will exchange people in any respect features of mathematical analysis -- but it surely's additionally conceivable that, by the point they will do this, they will have the ability to exchange people at music and science journalism and the whole lot else! New notions of proof -- together with probabilistic, interactive, zero-knowledge, and even quantum proofs -- have seen additional growth by theoretical laptop scientists since 1993. To this point, although, these new kinds of proof stay both completely theoretical (as with quantum proofs), or else they're used for cryptographic protocols however not for mathematical analysis. (For instance, zero-knowledge proofs now play a serious function in sure cryptocurrencies, reminiscent of Zcash.) In lots of areas of math (together with my very own, theoretical laptop science), proofs have continued to get longer and more durable for anyone particular person to soak up. This has led some to advocate a break up method, whereby human mathematicians would discuss to one another solely in regards to the handwavy intuitions and high-level ideas, whereas the tedious verification of particulars could be left to computer systems. To this point, although, the large funding of time wanted to put in writing proofs in machine-checkable format -- for nearly no return in new perception -- has prevented this method's large adoption. Sure, there are non-rigorous approaches to math, which proceed to be extensively utilized in physics and engineering and different fields, as they at all times have been. However none of those approaches have displaced proof because the gold commonplace every time it is accessible. If I needed to speculate about why, I might say: if you happen to use non-rigorous approaches, then even when it is clear to you beneath what situations your outcomes could be trusted, it is most likely a lot much less clear to anyone else. Additionally, even when just one section of a analysis neighborhood cares about rigor, no matter earlier work that section builds on will must be rigorous as nicely -- thereby exerting fixed strain in that route. Thus, the extra collaborative a given analysis space turns into, the extra vital is rigor. For my cash, the elucidation of the foundations of arithmetic a century in the past, by Cantor, Frege, Peano, Hilbert, Russell, Zermelo, Godel, Turing, and others, nonetheless stands as one of many best triumphs of human thought, up there with evolution or quantum mechanics or the rest. It is true that the perfect set by these luminaries stays largely aspirational. When mathematicians say theorem has been "proved," they nonetheless imply, as they at all times have, one thing extra like: "we've reached a social consensus that all the ideas are now in place for a strictly formal proof that could be verified by a machine ... with the only task remaining being massive rote coding work that none of us has any intention of ever doing!" It is also true that mathematicians, being human, are topic to the complete panoply of foibles you would possibly count on: claiming to have proved issues they have not, squabbling over who proved what, accusing others of lack of rigor whereas hypocritically taking liberties themselves. However identical to love and honesty stay advantageous beliefs irrespective of how typically they're flouted, so too does mathematical rigor. Peter Woit response: What most strikes me pondering again to this debate from a quarter-century in the past is how little has modified. There's some huge cash and a focus now going to knowledge science, machine studying, AI and such, however apart from extra of our college students taking jobs in these areas, the impact on pure arithmetic analysis has been minimal. One change is that the Web has offered higher entry to high-quality arithmetic analysis supplies and discussions, with examples movies of talks, discussions on MathOverflow, and my colleague Johan deJong's Stacks Undertaking. This sort of change has individuals speaking a lot as they've at all times executed, simply extra effectively. On the identical time, computer systems proceed to solely not often have any function within the creation and checking of the proofs of mathematical theorems. The extraordinary debate surrounding Mochizuki's claimed proof of the abc conjecture offers an fascinating check case. The issues with understanding and checking the proof have concerned one of the best minds within the discipline engaged in a troublesome battle for comprehension, with computerized proof checking taking part in no function in any respect. There is no such thing as a proof that laptop software program is any nearer now than in 1993 to being to compete with Peter Scholze and different consultants who've labored on analyzing Mochizuki's arguments. If there is a new optimistic growth forward on this story, it is going to be progress in direction of deeper understanding coming from a flesh and blood mathematician, not a tech trade server farm. Stephen Wolfram response. Once I contacted Wolfram, creator of Mathematica and different merchandise, a publicist despatched me a hyperlink to Wolfram's latest essay "Logic, Explainability and the Future of Understanding." It's filled with provocative assertions in regards to the nature of arithmetic, logic, proof, computation and data typically. Wolfram claims, for starters, to have mapped out the house of all potential logical axioms, suggesting, he contends, that the axioms upon which we generally rely should not one way or the other optimum or mandatory however arbitrary. My takeaway is that the house of potential arithmetic, whereas infinite, could also be far more infinite than usually suspected. Wolfram additionally means that with the assistance of one among his innovations, Wolfram Language, laptop proofs needn't be black containers, which generate a outcome however little understanding. Right here is how he places it: At some stage I believe it is a quirk of historical past that proofs are usually right this moment introduced for people to know, whereas applications are often simply considered issues for computer systems to run... ne of the principle objectives of my very own efforts over the previous a number of many years has been to alter this--and to develop within the Wolfram Language a real "computational communication language" through which computational concepts could be communicated in a manner that's readily comprehensible to each computer systems and people. However Wolfram warns that we are going to at all times bump up in opposition to the boundaries of understanding: In arithmetic we're used to constructing our stack of data so that every step is one thing we will perceive. However experimental mathematics--as nicely as issues like automated theorem proving--make it clear that there are locations to go that will not have this characteristic. Will we name this "mathematics"? I believe we should always. However it's a special custom from what we have largely used for the previous millennium. It is one the place we will nonetheless construct abstractions, and we will nonetheless assemble new ranges of understanding. However someplace beneath there can be all types of computational irreducibility that we'll by no means actually have the ability to convey into the realm of human understanding.

Star Trek Voyager: Hope and Fear

Episode 4.26 “Hope and Fear” Stardate 51978.2

Seven and Janeway play velocity.  Seven is angry that she didn’t win.  Janeway says she used her intuition; Seven replies that intuition is a human fallacy. Janeway tells Seven to be a sport.

Janeway says it’s been 5 months since they received the encoded message from Starfleet.  Janeway says she hasn’t given up on trying to decrypt it.  She’s working alone in the mess hall; its 0500 when Chakotay enters the room.  Neelix and Paris have been at a trading colony, and Neelix wants to give one of the people they’ve met passage.  Chakotay suggests that Janeway get some sleep. Janeway thinks, “If I could decode this today, we could be home tomorrow.” Chakotay suggests that they enlist Seven of Nine and her Borg algorithms. Janeway admits that she and Seven have been butting heads more than usual. Chakotay says Seven has learned a lot from her; maybe the pupil thinks she’s outgrowing the mentor.  Janeway asks him to join her for another cup of coffee, and he replies that he would love to.

Neelix introduces Janeway to Arturis.  He knows more than 4000 languages. He tells her his people can see patterns where others see only confusion.  She asks him to look at the data stream.  This is when he meets Seven and asks her if she is Borg.  One part of the message is still too degraded to recover.  They find some coordinates in the message and follow it to a ship that appears to be Starfleet.  Arturis tells Janeway he’s surprised she’s not more excited; she tells him she’s learned to walk the line between hope and caution.

Paris, Chakotay and Tuvok beam to the other ship.  It appears to be a new ship for them.  It’s equipped with a quantum slipstream drive.  The ship jumps to warp and goes 15 light years in only a few minutes.  Arturis has helped reconstruct the message which is Admiral Hayes, who seems to encourage them to take the Dauntless and remain at slipstream for three months.  Seven says that Voyager is a proven vessel; it makes no sense to abandon it for a ship they don’t know.  Janeway tells them to try making modifications to Voyager, see if they can bring Voyager along.  Janeway confides in Tuvok; “we’ve been waiting for this moment for years, why don’t I feel more enthusiastic?”  She admits that this seems a little “too perfect.”  She asks Tuvok to find out more about Arturis.

Seven sees that the slipstream technology is similar to the transwarp technology of the Borg, and realizes her expertise will be needed.  Janeway has hope, wondering whether she’ll be home in three months, even though she’s trying to keep her hope in check.  Seven wonders whether she will be able to adapt to life on earth.

Seven tells B’Elanna she will find nothing on earth but adversity.  B’Elanna replies she would rather face the music at home than spend the rest of her life in the Delta Quadrant.  She jokes to Seven, “We’ll be outcasts together.”  Harry tries to convince Seven that earth is cool and tells her, “for what it’s worth it won’t be the same without you.”  She grants him a smile and goes to speak to the captain.  Harry finds something unusual and calls Tuvok.

Janeway is still trying to reconstruct the last fragment of the Starfleet message. Seven comes to her and says she won’t be coming to the Alpha Quadrant. Seven says she doesn’t wish to live among humans, but Janeway tells her not to turn her back on humanity now.  Seven tells Janeway that her desire to explore space is inefficient, familial connections are a weakness and their infatuation with earth is irrational.  Janeway says that they may have conflicting points of view, but the crew needs Seven’s expertise.  Janeway tells Seven they’ve given her a lot, and it’s time she gave something in return.  Janeway refuses to leave Seven alone, and she thinks that Seven is afraid to go back to earth.  The algorithm is working; it’s reconstructing the data block.  It’s seemingly another message from Admiral Hayes.  Janeway realizes it’s a different message than the one Arturis showed them.  “We’ve had our best people working around the clock,” Hayes tells her, “I know it’s not what you were hoping,” he says.  Janeway fights tears for a moment.  She and Seven realize Arturis created a false message.

KJ arrives on the bridge of the Dauntless and accuses Arturis of taking advantage of their hopes.  She asks why.  Arturis tells Janeway that the real threat is Seven.  Janeway accuses Arturis of framing Seven.  The “Dauntless” transforms back into Arturis’ ship, and he traps Tuvok, Janeway and Seven within a forcefield.  Tuvok gets beamed out, but Seven and Janeway are trapped, and Arturis engages the slipstream drive.

Chakotay orders Tom to bring the warp core modifications online so they can go after them, even though they haven’t had a chance to try them yet.  

Arturis tells Janeway that her diplomacy destroyed his world - her alliance with the Borg against Species 8472 cost Arturis’ people their lives.  How does KJ react to this information in the long run?  Does she feel guilty about it?  Arturis calls her on her “selfish desire to get home,” and accuses her of not being able to see past the bow of her own ship.  “I don’t blame them; they were just drones,” Arturis says, but points at Janeway, “You, you had a choice.”  Arturis’ goal was to get all of Voyager’s crew assimilated.  He is taking Janeway and Seven back to his “home world,” now inside Borg space, to be assimilated.  

On Voyager, they get the slipstream drive to work for a short period of time.  “If I know the captain, she’s already got a plan,” Chakotay says.

On Arturis’ ship, Janeway asks Seven if she wants to be reassimilated.  She says she doesn’t.  She modifies Seven so she can walk through the forcefield detaining them.  Janeway tells Seven that she’s been hard on her, but that was never out of anger or regret that she brought Seven on board.  Seven admits that she was afraid of returning to earth.  She admits, “I don’t know where I belong.” KJ: “You belong with us.”

KJ plays the diplomat always, trying to talk Arturis down from his plan, telling him that there’s more than revenge.  She encourages him to end this so that his people’s greatness can survive in him.  Instead, Arturis destroys the navigational controls so that no one can stop the ship; even him.  Voyager has caught up with them and fires on them.  Janeway tells Arturis to come with her; it’s not too late.  Chakotay beams Janeway and Seven out, and Voyager changes course. Arturis arrives in Borg space and is assimilated, a victim of his own desire for revenge.

Janeway says that the quantum slipstream lasted for an hour; 300 light years closer to home.  They can’t use the technology again, she says.  KJ and Seven play velocity.  Seven says she is trying to design a method of traveling at slipstream without damaging Voyager.  Janeway says that she’s ordered everyone a few days of R&R.  Seven admits that as they approached Borg space, she realized she didn’t want to become a drone again.  Janeway tells Seven that sometimes they have to look back in order to look forward.  At the end of this episode Janeway seems to be in good spirits.

Dead Hippie Squadron is leading music in 2018! Step forth and know a place where the real & unreal meet, ....where the digital meets the magical and a whole new page of history is written.

Dead Hippie Squadron is leading music into dark, unexplored terror-tory. Welcoming 2018, WWIII, & the final stages of history. Step forth and see a place where the real & unreal meet, where the digital meets the magical and a whole new page of history is written.

“We ride on, as the sky itself is whisked away like a blanket, with the veil removed we sit in the same space as the divine. The apocalypse is near.”

Dead Hippie Squadron is leading the quantum cybernetic computing future with (self- and volunteer-) human-experimentation in AI-aided thought and memory proof of concept examples & quantum collective unconscious data assimilation/retrieval aggregation/summation of large volumes of both logical and confusing data. Algorithms developed by connection to nervous and brainwave functions yield advances in neuromapping essences of hypothetical and esthetic concepts. Giving intengible ideas real images which codify and symbolize their entirety. Data 3dified!   and mind mapping non-local data by psychonaut exploration. …A non-local space, hypothetical realm, in which the digital meets the magical.

Fear ye mortals, for do you not know that the unknown is within you? And that the great terrible things you hide and fear are the things most likely to take their revenge on you?

Put your fears into a single sentence and blow that sentence into a black baloon. Pop it with your head turned away, cough thrice then laugh hysterically. Light a candle and say: “Thanks Julian, I shall call for the Dead Hippie Squadron if I ever find myself in a troubled place, or time or space.” Happy dreams now.
