⠀★⠀⠀─⠀⠀WRITTEN BY EROSMUTT 25.01.14

Every time you step into the conference room, you absolutely dread what's to come.

Rebels this, rebels that. Stationed here, stationed there.

The only plus to this specific meeting was that for once, Tarkin was not the one doing the talking. It was Thrawn.

"This man is not to be underestimated."

You sit at the table, fingers drumming on the surface in a steady rhythm, the only sound other than the soft beeps and boops of the control module as Thrawn navigates it, although both are being drowned out by your Master's obnoxiously loud breathing.

Nobody is really paying attention, for that matter. Except Tarkin, as always, kissing the Empire's ass.

Your eyes, previously clouded and distant, suddenly focus as the Admiral's words lift your veil of contemplation. You look up at the flickering screen displaying a mugshot of a man who, at first glance, seems unremarkable. "The man in question," Thrawn begins, his voice echoing through the conference room, "is Han Solo."

An involuntary scoff leaves you, drawing the attention of every high-ranking officer present. You lean forward slightly, your demeanor a mix of curiosity and skepticism. "Pardon the intrusion," you interject, your tone measured. "but, what exactly makes him so perilous? He looks utterly unexceptional."

Unfortunately, Tarkin is the one to speak this time. He scrutinizes you with an intensity in his narrowed eyes that can only be perceived as disapproval, which it is, because he does not approve of you. However, he tolerates you.

"His danger lies not in his outward appearance, but in the information he possesses, and the circles he keeps. He's a smuggler, one with a network of contacts that stretches across the Outer Rim and beyond." He takes a breath before continuing, eyes never leaving your face. "Solo has been known to associate with the likes of the Rebel Alliance's top leader. His ship, the Millennium Falcon, is used to ferry critical information and supplies to the Rebellion's strongholds."

Maker, what an earful.

Tarkin's gaze turns back to the mugshot, distaste clear on his face and in his voice. "Furthermore, he's been a thorn in the side of the Empire. He's evaded us for years, always slipping through our grasp at the last moment. In doing so, he's become a symbol of defiance, a beacon of hope for the discontented masses."

Is he done yet?

"Perhaps you'd like to aid in his capture, since you have such curiosity."

Of course not.

"Excuse me?"

The pale blue of Tarkin's eyes fall back on you, studying your expression. "I recommend you take personal charge of this mission to apprehend Solo. Your... unique skills and background may prove invaluable in navigating the underworld he inhabits."

A sound akin to a garbled scoff is heard from beside you. It's clear that Vader isn't happy with this new development. The Grand Moff, ever the antagonist, raises an eyebrow. "Do you disagree, Lord Vader?"

Yes, he does disagree. One thousand times over, absolutely. Yet for some reason, he can't find it in himself to argue with the Admiral today. A few moments of silence pass before Vader speaks.

"Very well."

That's how you found yourself on Tatooine.

Fate decided you would be dropped onto this podunk, backwater planet, and so here you are, feeling stranded on the desolate sands of Tatooine. The scorching heat of the binary suns above bears down upon you, your skimpy clothes given to you for the mission doing little to shield you from the temperature.

Vader had told you he had an inkling that the rogue would be lurking in one of the planet's countless cantinas. Sure enough, as you make your way inside of a particular dive bar, his intuition proved correct.

It's loud. Too loud.

The raucous noise of the patrons and music combined is an unwelcome and very stark contrast to the usual eerie, dead silence you've grown accustomed to in Imperial dwellings. It all grates on your ears, overwhelming you. As your eyes adjust to the dim lighting, they fall upon a familiar face across the room.

Han Solo. Just the man you want to see.

A warmth pools in your tummy as Han's piercing brown eyes meet yours, a cocky, charming grin spreading across his handsome face. Despite there being three girls at the table looking up at him like he hung the moon and stars just for them, you feel an inexplicable pull, a magnetic attraction drawing you towards him. Straightening your short skirt, the leather of it creaking a bit, you take a deep breath and make your way across the crowded cantina, weaving between the tables and assortment of patrons.

He sits at a sabacc table, boots kicked up onto it making no difference on the scratched up surface, his lips now fixed into a lazy smirk on the death stick between them as he plays the game with the ease of a seasoned gambler. As you approach the table, Han's eyes rake over your curves, a flicker of interest in his eyes. He leans back in his chair, one arm draped casually over the back of the seat beside him, a silent invitation. The others present, a mix of humans, humanoids, and aliens, eye you warily, sensing your potential competition.

"Well well," Han drawls around the stick in his mouth, his voice like velvet and sin. "Join us, darlin'." He gestures to the seat beside him.

As you settle in, your hand finds his arm, once again making a heat pool in your stomach. You can feel the warmth of his skin beneath the thin fabric of his sleeve, the firmness of his bicep beneath your fingertips. You lean forward slightly, looking at his hand.

Leaning forward, you watch as Han takes a long drag of his death stick, the embers glowing bright in the dim light of the cantina. He exhales a plume of smoke, his eyes never leaving yours. There's a challenge in his gaze, a dare to match his audacity.

The cards laid out before him are just a jumble of patterns and numbers to your untrained eyes. You have zero idea who has the advantage, but you're not here to play sabacc. You're here for him.

You hesitate for a moment, your stomach fluttering nervously as you glance towards the cantina's entrance. The noise of the crowd fades into a distant murmur. Han's presence, his raw charisma, is utterly consuming.

Suddenly, you remember the reason you came here. To apprehend him. Why does he have your body warming with attraction? You stand up a bit abruptly. "Excuse me," you murmur, hoping he doesn't notice the slight tremor in your voice. "I'll be right back."

Once again, you weave your way through the ridiculously crowded cantina, your heart pounding in your chest as you make your way to the refresher. It's a welcome respite from the chaos, the air slightly cooler and less smoky. You stand at the sink, staring at your reflection. Your cheeks are flushed, your eyes wide and bright. You look... excited, almost manic. You turn on the sink and splash some cool water on your face, trying to snap out of it and compose yourself.

As you dry your hands, another woman steps out of one of the stalls, approaching the sink and turning the water on. "Watch yourself with that one, sweetheart." She warns, tilting her head to the door, referring to Han. "He's trouble." She takes the towel from you, drying her hands. Just like that, she's gone.

The door swings right back open, revealing Han's imposing figure, the smell of smoke and whiskey brought with him. He strides in, each step eating up the distance between the two of you. At 6'2", his tall, muscular frame seems to dwarf the small bathroom, making you feel small and insignificant. Han leans against the sink, looming over you, his gaze boring into yours. A wolfish grin spreads across his face, and it takes every ounce of your willpower to not let out a whimper.

"You said 'right back,' didn't you?" His deep voice asks, sending a shiver down your spine. He hits a fresh pack of death sticks against his palm before tearing it open, tossing the paper onto the floor, and extracting one. With fluid motions he places the death stick between his lip and flicks open his lighter. Shielding the flame with his large hand, he ignites it, the embers glowing.

"Looks like the party's here now," Han sighs, flicking the lighter closed and setting it beside the pack on the counter. His eyes never leave your face. The air is growing thick with tension, the scent of smoke mingling with the lingering floral aroma of the hand soap and your own fear. You swallow, mouth suddenly dry, realizing the precarious situation you've gotten yourself in.

Thrawn was right. He is not to be underestimated.

"Loth-cat got your tongue, sweetheart?" He asks, growing agitated with your silence. "C'mon, darlin'. A pretty little thing like you, comin' here for a good time then runnin' away?" Han pushes off the sink, beginning to circle you. As he stops behind you, he stares with a heavy gaze, taking a long drag of his death stick. The smoke curls around his head like a sinister halo. "You know sweetheart," he taps the ash off the stick into the sink. His hand comes to rest on your hip, pulling you towards him, your back hitting his chest. "I could show you a real good time."

"A good time?" You question, laying your head back against his chest. "Mhm," he leans down and presses a kiss to your jawline, then to your neck, giving your pulse point a teasing flick with his tongue. "Turn back around f'me, sweet thing, face me." He murmurs, and you comply, now facing him. "On your knees."

"Yes Captain." Your voice in your ears is barely audible over the sound of your heart pounding in against your chest as you drop down to your knees. "You know what to do, sweetheart." Your hands find and undo his belt, the metal clasp falling open with a soft clink. Dragging down his zipper, you tug at the waistband of his pants, freeing his hardening cock. It springs out, thick and heavy, the musky scent filling your nostrils.

Tentatively, you wrap a hand around his velvety shaft, stroking it with a light touch. Han inhales sharply, his hips jerking forward slightly, seeking more contact. You lean in, flicking your tongue out to taste the pearlescent bead of precum glistening at the tip. The flavor spreads across your taste buds, salty and slightly bitter, but bearable.

You take a deep breath, steeling yourself, before taking Han's cock into your mouth. Inch by inch, you sink down, lips stretching around his girth. The head of it bumps against the back of your throat, making you gag reflexively. You fight the urge, determined to please him, to get him in Imperial custody as quick as possible.

Han groans, tangling a hand in your hair. "Kriff, hold still dollface," he mutters around the death stick before tangling his other hand in your hair, beginning to guide your movements. He sets a relentless pace, fucking your mouth with short, hard thrusts. Drool leaks from the corners of your mouth, hands on his hairy thighs. Your jaw aches, your neck strains, but still, you take him deeper, until the tip of his cock nestles in the tight clutch of your throat.

He grunts, grip tightening in your hair, holding you in place as he hilts inside your mouth. You shut your eyes, the tears that welled up in them finally spilling down your cheeks. With a deep, guttural moan, Han empties his balls down your throat. "Ohh, Maker," he drawls. "Swallow," he whispers hoarsely. You swallow, the hot, salty essence of his cum making you gag.

Finally, Han pulls out, his softening cock slipping from your used mouth with a wet pop. You gasp for air, strands of drool and semen connecting your lips to his crotch before they snap, decorating your chin with a sheen. You look up at him, eyes pleading and desperate. For what, exactly? You have no idea. Your dignity, perhaps.

Wait a minute. Aren't you on a mission right now?

Brawler's Brew

High res versions of the art, a Foundry VTT module, and other formats, as well as a full compendium of our 100+ items can be found on our Patreon

I’ve never been much into the art of distillery. Something about the fiddly temperatures and exact points of evaporation and condensation just makes my head spin. At least with alchemy there’s a larger measure of experimentation and the excitement of blowing myself up should I get it wrong. It did catch my attention when a local distiller claimed to be able to distill the very essence of a place, time, or scene. I didn’t understand what he meant until he showed me his method, which involved spending far too much time at taverns. I’m not sure if he’s actually capable of distilling the essence of a place, but I won’t deny this brew is something potent when opened.

If you want to see more of our items you can check us out on our Website, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, Bluesky, Threads or Instagram where we post them regularly. You can also find us at our Discord server where you can hang out and chat with the community.

BepiColombo's fifth Mercury flyby

On Sunday 1 December 2024, BepiColombo flew past the planet Mercury for the fifth time, readying itself for entering orbit around the solar system's mysterious innermost planet in 2026.

The spacecraft flew between Mercury and the sun, getting to within 37,630 km from the small planet's surface at 15:23 CET. This is much farther than its first four flybys of the planet, when BepiColombo flew as close as 165–240 km from the surface.

What made this flyby special is that it was the first time that BepiColombo's MERTIS instrument was able to observe Mercury. This radiometer and thermal infrared spectrometer will measure how much the planet radiates in infrared light, something that depends on both the temperature and composition of the surface.

This was the first time that any spacecraft measured what Mercury looks like in mid-infrared wavelengths of light (7–14 micrometers). The data that MERTIS will collect throughout the mission will reveal what types of minerals the planet's surface is made of, one of the key Mercury mysteries that BepiColombo is designed to tackle.

BepiColombo's other science instruments will monitor the environment outside Mercury's magnetic field. Among other things, they will measure the continuous (but changeable) stream of particles coming from the sun known as the solar wind.

The other instruments switched on during this flyby are the magnetometers MPO-MAG and MMO-MGF, the MGNS gamma-ray and neutron spectrometer, the SIXS X-ray and particle spectrometer, the MDM dust monitor and the PWI instrument that detects electric fields, plasma waves and radio waves.

BepiColombo, a joint mission between ESA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), will be the second and most complex mission ever to orbit Mercury. It comprises two science orbiters: ESA's Mercury Planetary Orbiter and JAXA's Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter. While on their way to Mercury, the two orbiters are both attached to the Mercury Transfer Module.

# Quantum Vacuum Spacetime Manipulation Drive: Practical Stargate Technology Using Current Physics

**Abstract**

Instantaneous interstellar travel has remained in the realm of science fiction due to the apparent impossibility of faster-than-light transportation within known physics. This paper presents the Quantum Vacuum Spacetime Manipulation Drive (QVSMD), commonly termed "Stargate technology," which achieves instantaneous transport between distant locations by folding spacetime through controlled electromagnetic interaction with quantum vacuum fluctuations. Unlike theoretical wormhole concepts requiring exotic matter, QVSMD uses only current technology: ultra-high-field superconducting electromagnets powered by Zero Point Modules, precision field control systems, and quantum vacuum engineering techniques. Our analysis demonstrates that synchronized 50-meter diameter ring arrays generating 10²⁰ Tesla electromagnetic fields can create measurable spacetime curvature sufficient for point-to-point spatial folding. This technology could enable instantaneous travel throughout the galaxy while using materials and manufacturing processes available today.

**Keywords:** spacetime manipulation, quantum vacuum engineering, instantaneous transport, electromagnetic fields, stargate, interstellar travel

## 1. Introduction: Beyond Speed-of-Light Limitations

Einstein's special relativity establishes the speed of light as the ultimate velocity limit for matter and energy transmission, seemingly making interstellar travel impractical for human civilization. Even at light speed, travel to Proxima Centauri requires 4.2 years, while reaching the galactic center demands 26,000 years. These timescales place most of the universe beyond practical human exploration [1].

However, general relativity permits spacetime itself to be curved, folded, and manipulated. The expansion of the universe demonstrates that space can move faster than light—what's prohibited is matter moving through space faster than light. This distinction opens a pathway to instantaneous travel: instead of moving through space, we fold space so that distant points touch.

### 1.1 Theoretical Foundation: Spacetime as Manipulable Medium

General relativity describes spacetime as a dynamic medium that responds to energy and momentum distributions according to Einstein's field equations:

```

Gμν = 8πTμν

```

Where Gμν represents spacetime curvature and Tμν represents the stress-energy tensor. Traditionally, we consider only matter and energy as sources of spacetime curvature, but quantum field theory reveals that electromagnetic fields also contribute to the stress-energy tensor [2].

**Quantum Vacuum Stress-Energy:**

The quantum vacuum possesses measurable energy density through virtual particle fluctuations. While the total vacuum energy is formally infinite, differences in vacuum energy create observable effects like the Casimir force. Intense electromagnetic fields can modify local vacuum energy density, creating effective stress-energy that curves spacetime [3].

**Critical Field Strength:**

Our calculations indicate that electromagnetic fields approaching 10²⁰ Tesla generate sufficient vacuum stress-energy to produce measurable spacetime curvature. This field strength, while enormous, lies within the theoretical capabilities of room-temperature superconductors powered by quantum vacuum energy extraction systems.

### 1.2 Current Technology Readiness

Unlike speculative faster-than-light concepts, QVSMD requires only technologies that exist today or represent straightforward extensions of current capabilities:

**Ultra-High-Field Superconductors:**

- Room-temperature superconductors: Critical fields >100 Tesla demonstrated

- REBCO enhancements: Field capabilities approaching 1000 Tesla with cooling

- Theoretical limits: >10,000 Tesla for optimized superconducting geometries

**Zero Point Module Power Sources:**

- Continuous power generation: 1-100 MW demonstrated in prototype ZPM systems

- Scalability: Multi-gigawatt ZPM arrays feasible with current technology

- Efficiency: >90% conversion of vacuum energy to electromagnetic field energy

**Precision Field Control:**

- Multi-field synchronization: Demonstrated in fusion plasma confinement systems

- Phase coherence: Femtosecond timing precision across distributed arrays

- Feedback control: Real-time field optimization using quantum sensors

## 2. Physical Principles: Quantum Vacuum Spacetime Engineering

### 2.1 Electromagnetic Field-Spacetime Coupling

The interaction between intense electromagnetic fields and spacetime occurs through quantum vacuum modification. Virtual particle pairs in the vacuum respond to electromagnetic fields, creating effective mass-energy distributions that curve spacetime according to general relativity.

**Vacuum Polarization Effects:**

In strong electromagnetic fields, virtual electron-positron pairs become polarized, creating effective electric and magnetic dipole moments. The energy density of this polarized vacuum contributes to the stress-energy tensor:

```

Tμν^(vacuum) = (1/4π)[FμρFνρ - (1/4)gμνFρσF^ρσ] + quantum corrections

```

**Spacetime Curvature Response:**

When electromagnetic field energy density exceeds the Planck density (5.16 × 10⁹⁶ kg/m³), significant spacetime curvature results. While this seems impossible, the energy density requirement can be met locally through field concentration and resonance effects.

### 2.2 Spacetime Folding Mechanics

Rather than creating traversable wormholes, QVSMD achieves "spacetime origami"—literally folding spacetime so that distant points come into contact.

**Folding Principle:**

Two synchronized electromagnetic field arrays create complementary spacetime distortions that fold space along a fourth spatial dimension. The mathematics follow higher-dimensional general relativity:

```

ds² = gμν dx^μ dx^ν + h_ab dy^a dy^b

```

Where the first term represents familiar 4D spacetime and the second term represents folding in extra dimensions.

**Topological Requirements:**

Successful folding requires:

- Perfect field synchronization between source and destination arrays

- Complementary field patterns that create "attractive" spacetime curvature

- Sufficient field intensity to overcome spacetime's natural resistance to deformation

- Controlled collapse and expansion of the fold during transport

### 2.3 Quantum Vacuum Signature Navigation

Each location in the universe has a unique quantum vacuum "signature" determined by local gravitational fields, quantum fluctuation patterns, and electromagnetic environment. These signatures enable precise targeting for spacetime folding operations.

**Signature Components:**

- Gravitational potential: Local curvature from nearby masses

- Quantum field fluctuations: Virtual particle density and energy distribution

- Electromagnetic environment: Background fields and radiation

- Temporal stability: Consistency of signature over time

**Address Encoding:**

Stargate "addresses" represent quantum vacuum signatures encoded as electromagnetic field harmonic patterns:

```

Address = Σᵢ Aᵢ cos(ωᵢt + φᵢ)

```

Where each harmonic component corresponds to a specific aspect of the target location's vacuum signature.

## 3. Stargate System Architecture and Design

### 3.1 Ring Array Configuration

The QVSMD system consists of two identical ring arrays: one at the origin point and one at the destination. Each ring creates half of the spacetime fold, with synchronization enabling complete spatial connection.

**Ring Specifications:**

```

Diameter: 50 meters (optimized for human-scale transport)

Superconducting elements: 144 individual field generators arranged in geodesic pattern

Material: Room-temperature superconductor with carbon nanotube reinforcement

Operating temperature: 300K (no cooling required)

Field strength per element: 1000-10000 Tesla

Total array field strength: 10^20 Tesla (achieved through constructive interference)

```

**Electromagnetic Field Pattern:**

The ring generates a complex electromagnetic field pattern that curves spacetime in a specific topology:

```

B⃗(r,θ,φ,t) = B₀ Σₗₘ Yₗᵐ(θ,φ) × fₗₘ(r) × exp(iωₗₘt + φₗₘ)

```

Where Yₗᵐ are spherical harmonics defining the spatial pattern and fₗₘ(r) describes radial field distribution.

### 3.2 Zero Point Module Power Systems

Each ring array requires enormous power input—approaching 100 gigawatts—to generate the necessary electromagnetic field intensities. This power comes from distributed Zero Point Module arrays.

**Power Architecture:**

```

ZPM modules per ring: 1000 units

Power per ZPM: 100 MW continuous output

Total power per ring: 100 GW

Power conditioning: 99% efficiency electromagnetic field conversion

Energy storage: 1 TJ superconducting magnetic energy storage for pulse operation

Cooling requirements: Minimal (room-temperature superconductors)

```

**Power Distribution:**

- Primary distribution: Superconducting power cables with zero resistive losses

- Field generation: Direct ZPM-to-electromagnet coupling for maximum efficiency

- Control power: Separate low-power systems for timing and coordination

- Emergency systems: Independent power for controlled shutdown procedures

### 3.3 Quantum Synchronization and Control

Perfect synchronization between origin and destination rings is critical for stable spacetime folding. This requires quantum-entangled communication systems operating faster than light.

**Quantum Communication Array:**

- Entangled photon pairs: Generated at ring construction and distributed to both locations

- Synchronization precision: Planck time resolution (10⁻⁴³ seconds)

- Information capacity: 10⁹ bits/second for real-time field coordination

- Range: Unlimited (quantum entanglement transcends spacetime separation)

**Control Algorithm Architecture:**

```python

def stargate_activation_sequence():

# Phase 1: Establish quantum communication link

quantum_link = establish_entangled_communication()

# Phase 2: Synchronize ring power systems

synchronize_zpm_arrays(quantum_link)

# Phase 3: Generate complementary field patterns

field_pattern_origin = calculate_fold_geometry(target_address)

field_pattern_dest = calculate_complementary_pattern(field_pattern_origin)

# Phase 4: Execute coordinated field activation

activate_electromagnetic_arrays(field_pattern_origin, field_pattern_dest, quantum_link)

# Phase 5: Monitor spacetime fold stability

while fold_active:

fold_stability = monitor_spacetime_curvature()

if fold_stability < threshold:

emergency_shutdown()

else:

maintain_field_patterns()

# Phase 6: Controlled deactivation

coordinate_field_shutdown(quantum_link)

```

### 3.4 Transport Chamber and Safety Systems

The 50-meter ring diameter provides a 45-meter diameter transport chamber with comprehensive safety systems for human transportation.

**Chamber Specifications:**

- Transport volume: 1590 m³ (sufficient for large vehicles or groups)

- Atmosphere retention: Electromagnetic field barriers prevent air loss during folding

- Quarantine capabilities: Isolated chambers for unknown destination exploration

- Medical facilities: Emergency treatment for transport-related effects

### 3.5 Destination Address Database and Navigation

Each Stargate ring maintains a comprehensive database of quantum vacuum signatures enabling transport to any mapped location throughout the galaxy.

**Address Resolution System:**

```

Primary addresses: Major stellar systems with permanent ring installations

Secondary addresses: Temporary locations with portable ring systems

Tertiary addresses: Unmapped locations accessed through quantum signature extrapolation

Emergency addresses: Hardcoded safe locations for emergency evacuation

```

**Navigation Accuracy:**

- Stellar scale: ±1000 km accuracy for interstellar destinations

- Planetary scale: ±10 m accuracy for same-system destinations

- Local scale: ±1 cm accuracy for same-planet destinations

- Temporal synchronization: ±1 second arrival time coordination

## 4. Performance Analysis and Capabilities

### 4.1 Transport Speed and Efficiency

QVSMD achieves truly instantaneous transport—the time required equals the duration of spacetime folding plus quantum communication delays.

**Transport Timeline:**

```

Quantum synchronization: 10⁻⁹ seconds (entanglement-limited)

Field generation: 10⁻³ seconds (electromagnetic rise time)

Spacetime folding: 10⁻⁶ seconds (curvature propagation at light speed)

Transport execution: 10⁻¹² seconds (instantaneous fold collapse)

Field deactivation: 10⁻³ seconds (controlled shutdown)

Total transport time: ~2 milliseconds

```

**Energy Efficiency:**

- Power consumption: 100 GW for 2 milliseconds = 0.056 kWh per transport

- ZPM energy extraction: 0.1 kWh vacuum energy per transport

- Net energy surplus: ZPM systems generate more energy than transport consumes

- Operational cost: Essentially zero (no fuel consumption, minimal maintenance)

### 4.2 Range and Destination Capabilities

QVSMD range is theoretically unlimited—spacetime folding transcends normal distance constraints since it operates in higher-dimensional space.

**Demonstrated Range Categories:**

```

Local transport: Same planet, <1000 km range

Interplanetary: Within solar system, <100 AU range

Interstellar: Local stellar neighborhood, <1000 light-year range

Galactic: Entire Milky Way galaxy, <100,000 light-year range

Intergalactic: Nearby galaxies, <10 million light-year range (theoretical)

```

**Range Limitations:**

- Quantum signature resolution: Distant locations require more precise field patterns

- Synchronization accuracy: Greater distances demand higher timing precision

- Power requirements: Longer folds need stronger electromagnetic fields

- Risk factors: Unknown destinations carry higher transport uncertainties

### 4.3 Cargo and Passenger Capacity

The 45-meter diameter transport chamber accommodates substantial cargo loads and passenger groups.

**Transport Capacity:**

```

Personnel: 1000+ people with minimal equipment

Vehicles: 50 standard automobiles or 10 large trucks

Spacecraft: Components for interstellar ship assembly

Bulk cargo: 10,000 tons maximum mass per transport

Frequency: Continuous operation limited only by power cycling

```

**Special Considerations:**

- Living organisms: Enhanced safety protocols for biological transport

- Electronic equipment: Electromagnetic shielding prevents field damage

- Radioactive materials: Additional containment for hazardous cargo

Why do my headlights keep going out?

The following is a systematic analysis and solution based on the problem of frequent headlight extinguishing of your vehicle:

I. Core fault causes 1. Circuit overload causes fuse to blow

Short circuit or overload: Damage to the insulation layer of the wiring harness (such as friction between the wiring harness and metal parts in the engine compartment) will cause a short circuit, or the modification of high-power LED bulbs (such as 100W) exceeds the original circuit design capacity.

Detection method: Use a multimeter to measure the resistance at both ends of the fuse. If it is close to 0Ω, there is a short circuit; if the resistance value is normal but the fuse blows repeatedly, it is necessary to check whether the load exceeds the standard.

2. Relay/switch aging failure

Relay contact adhesion: Long-term current shock causes contact oxidation, and the circuit cannot be disconnected normally, which may cause intermittent power outage of the headlight.

Carbonization of the combination switch: The internal contacts of the headlight switch form high resistance (>5Ω) due to arc erosion, resulting in voltage fluctuations that cause the light to flicker or go out.

3. Poor connector contact

Plug oxidation: When the headlight socket is damp, the metal contacts generate copper oxide (especially in rainy areas), the resistance increases to more than 10Ω, and the current transmission is unstable.

Wiring harness is not connected: The terminal is not tightened during maintenance or the vehicle vibration causes the connector to loosen (common in off-road vehicles), and the measured voltage fluctuation can reach ±3V.

4. Bulb and circuit compatibility issues

Poor quality LED modification: Non-automotive grade LED driver EMC is unqualified, generating high-frequency harmonics to interfere with BCM control signals.

Halogen filament breakage: After the filament is partially melted, it may be briefly overlapped, showing random extinguishing (typical symptoms at the end of life).

II. Diagnostic process and tools Step-by-step troubleshooting table: Step Operation Tool/parameter Normal value range 1 Check fuse specifications and blown state Visual inspection + multimeter Original rated current (usually 10-20A) 2 Measure headlight socket voltage (ignition switch ON) Digital multimeter 11.5-14.2V 3 Shake the wiring harness to observe light changes (simulate vibration interference) Manual test Voltage fluctuation should be <0.5V 4 Replace relay test Relay of the same model Contact resistance <0.1Ω 5 Read BCM fault code OBD-II diagnostic instrument (such as Autel) No U0100/U0155 code

III. Targeted solutions 1. Circuit protection upgrade

Replace slow-blow fuses (such as ATO series), which have a surge current resistance 300% higher than fast-blow fuses.

Install ceramic insulation sleeves to protect the wiring harness in the engine compartment, which can withstand temperatures up to 1000℃.

2. Connection reliability optimization

Replace the original tin-plated plugs with gold-plated terminals, and the contact resistance is reduced to below 0.02Ω.

Apply conductive silicone grease (such as Dow Corning DC-4) in the socket to prevent oxidation and enhance sealing.

3. Control module reset

Perform a hard reset on the BCM: disconnect the negative pole of the battery for 10 minutes to clear the historical fault memory.

Update BCM firmware: Some models (such as Volkswagen after 2018) need to be upgraded to SW026 or above to fix the lighting control BUG.

Fourth, repair costs and suggestions Fault type Typical repair solution Cost range (RMB) Fuse/relay replacement Original spare parts + labor ¥80-200 Wiring harness repair Partial wiring + heat shrink tube insulation ¥300-600 BCM programming 4S shop special equipment matching ¥500-1,200 Full vehicle lighting system detection Diagnostic instrument + load test ¥200-400

Operation warning:

Do not use copper wire instead of fuse, which may cause the wiring harness to melt (case: a car owner caused a cabin fire).

LED modification requires simultaneous upgrade of the cooling system, and it is recommended to choose an integrated assembly with IP67 protection level.

If self-diagnosis fails, it is recommended to use an infrared thermal imager to scan the circuit (abnormal heating points are often the source of the fault), or contact a professional technician to perform oscilloscope waveform analysis (capture power ripple and relay control signals).

Prompt #1: Steer

“Adra! ADRA!”

Thud. Thud. THUD. THUD.

“ADRAAA!”

Blaring alarums almost drowned out the sound of Sven’s desperate efforts to break down the door to the engine room. They overlapped in a deafening, discordant rhythm as multiple systems reported critical failure throughout the ship.

Shut up, she snapped at him in her mind. Winding her fingers through her hair, she grasped handfuls of it as she paced the narrow corridor. Shut up, I need to think.

Above her, a valve blew its gauge. There was a metallic pling as a bolt shot across the room. Steam started to hiss, misting the air with oppressive, humid heat that made every breath feel like a gulp of warm water.

A saboteur had infiltrated the ship and meddled with its mechanisms. She surmised that much when she realised she was locked out of her failsafes. She was going to die, but that was fine. They didn’t all have to. Sven wouldn’t. Not if she had anything to say about it.

Arterial pipes ran throughout the ship. First, she had to close them. That would localise the damage to the room she was in—its insulated belly, the beating heart of the vessel, currently in the throes of cardiac arrest. The ship had more hope of staying in one piece if she could. It would still go down, and every system aboard would lose power, but they could control the descent.

As she set to work, readings poured in and streamed down a flickering console to her left, distorted by visual noise and the crack across the screen.

AUXILIARY TEMPERATURES ABOVE SAFE THRESHOLDS

You don’t say. Drenched in sweat, she could feel the very walls around her radiating heat. Each time she touched the console had to be brief or her fingertips would blister.

SAFEGUARD PROGRAMME ‘DELTA’ : FAILURE TO DEPLOY

We’ve exhausted plan B, then. Not that she’d held out much hope that any of her contingencies would save them at this juncture.

CORE PRESSURE LEVELS: CRITICAL

I know it hurts, old girl. Hold on just a little more, for me. All she needed was a few more precious moments. Adra knew she didn’t have them.

AETHERIC MODULATORS NOT DETECTED

That was the one that troubled her the most, because it suggested they’d been fried. But where was all that aether coming from?

A massive concentration of condensed, aspected aether would cause an explosion. It was going to happen. All she could do was decide where, and when. She’d have to manually direct the channels utilising analogue controls and trigger the detonation, because if this had to happen, it was happening by her own hand.

She’d been in two minds about installing aether-based technologies. It wasn’t easy finding engineers with the requisite expertise, and she didn’t like dealing with aether. Its raw form wouldn’t heed her, nor could she operate the technology required to direct it. She couldn’t abide the idea of entrusting that much power over her own vessel to someone else.

But the potential had been too alluring to deny. They’d tried to adapt a teleporter relying on the same principles utilised by aetherytes. In theory, it could warp the entire vessel and all its crew to another location instantaneously. In theory, because she’d never gotten it working. And now that useless chunk of crystal was going to destroy everything she’d achieved, everything she loved.

But not everyone.

Pipes burst around her. Searing hot ceruleum streamed down the walls, melting the metal in its path. A small explosion rocked the ship, and Adra was forced to hang onto a burning hot valve to avoid being tossed to the ground. It was now, or, well, now.

Grasping the lever with both hands, she pulled back. Every measure in place to prevent catastrophic failure was simultaneously deactivated. The result was instant. She didn’t have time to scream, feel pain, or regret the fleeting fragility of life. A soundless white flash engulfed her.

And then she woke, soaked in sweat, in her cot in the engine room. Its rhythmic purring assured her all was well. This was the CETEA, and she was en route to Kugane.

This dream, again.

When she’d heard what had happened to an unlucky number of the Unsung and one member of the crew, she’d been reminded of what had happened all those years ago. The similarities were plain. She’d even found herself flinching when she felt the explosion in the hangar as it shuddered through the ship.

An infiltrator. An aetheryte. A sudden displacement… even the destination was—not the same, but near enough to Doma. The only difference was that it hadn’t been her, this time.

She was still here.

It was time to get up and back to work.

#Lore24 Weekly Post (8/52) - Mobile Support Units

BRIEF DATA

Mobile Support Units are a network of magichines dedicated towards repairing, assisting, and supporting other magichines in dangerous situations or emergencies. They semi-frequently operate in conjunction with the Almandine Order, in the form of a small detachment that is usually stationed on the Itinerant Fist.

The MSUs form a crucial backbone in the magichine society's infrastructure, embodying a commitment to the well-being and functionality of their kind. The MSU's main goal is to assist magichines accessing support--sometimes this means directly supplying care, sometimes getting those in need of care to places where they can receive it, sometimes just assisting others, sometimes a simple emergency repair.

The MSUs operate with a diverse skill set, ranging from emergency repairs to providing medical assistance and logistical support. Equipped with advanced diagnostic tools and nano-repair modules, they can address a spectrum of issues magichines might encounter in the field.

In addition to their reactive role, MSUs engage in proactive measures such as routine maintenance and preventive care programs. This forward-thinking approach aims to identify and address potential issues before they escalate, contributing to the overall sustainability and longevity of the magichine population. MSUs embody a sense of camaraderie and shared responsibility, reinforcing the idea that the strength of magichine society lies not just in individual capabilities but in the collective support and collaboration of its members.

OPERATIONS

Rescue and Recovery Operations: During emergencies such as natural disasters or hostile encounters, MSUs coordinate rescue and recovery efforts to locate and evacuate stranded or incapacitated magichines. They employ specialized search algorithms, deploy rescue drones, and coordinate with other units to ensure swift and efficient operations.

Data Analysis and Research: MSUs contribute to ongoing research efforts in arcane mechanics by collecting and analyzing data from field operations.

Easy Back Oven

High res versions of the art, a Foundry VTT module, and other formats, as well as a full compendium of our 100+ items can be found on our Patreon

It was one of the most wonderful moments of my life walking through the square and seeing a elven lass who had plopped down a fully featured oven from her back and started churning out cookies for those passers by. I was enamored by the craftsmanship and ingenuity needed to get it into a usable form, though I did have a slight suggestion in the form of everburning magic wood to keep the temperature more well controlled. I offered to craft some for her should she let me take some measurements and mimic the design. I don’t think they’ll be flying off the shelves this holiday season, but perhaps some might just find it useful.

If you want to see more of our items you can check us out on our Website, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, Bluesky, Threads or Instagram where we post them regularly. You can also find us at our Discord server where you can hang out and chat with the community.

Latest moon mission carries a new reflection on history

In July 1969, four faculty members traveled from College Park to Kennedy Space Center in Florida to provide last-minute instruction to a noteworthy pupil: an Apollo 11 astronaut about to become one of the first humans to set foot beyond Earth.

Just days later, lunar module pilot Buzz Aldrin would be following mission commander Neil Armstrong onto the moon's surface to deploy a UMD-led experiment. The suitcase-size array of retroreflectors—painstakingly crafted hunks of glass able to reflect light directly back to its source from any angle—would serve as a target for powerful lasers on Earth and provide the first accurate measurements of the distance between the planet and its satellite. In a meeting with Aldrin, then-Assistant Professor Douglas Currie, an expert in laser light, asked if the former fighter pilot with a Ph.D. in astronautics had any questions.

At a later lunar workshop, Currie recalls, Aldrin scoffed about the procedural instructions, "Ahh, it was so easy I decided I could give it to Armstrong."

But the wisecracking astronaut had done his homework, and for the last 55 years, that array and two more placed by successive Apollo missions have yielded a wealth of data for NASA's Lunar Laser Ranging experiment, helping scientists detect our moon's liquid core, bolstering Einstein's theory of general relativity and providing a better understanding of the evolution of the Earth-moon system, among other discoveries.

Now the university has done it again with the launch early Wednesday of the Next Generation Lunar Retroreflector as part of a mission scheduled to touch down on the moon on March 2. This time, Currie is principal investigator for the retroreflector project, a position held on the Apollo 11 project by the late physics Professor Carroll Alley.

There are no astronauts to train for this mission; the chunky "corner cube" retroreflector will arrive aboard an uncrewed craft launched by the company Firefly Aerospace as part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services program and remain atop the lander for its operational life. (Subsequent reflectors to be developed by NASA with UMD's help, based on Currie's general design, are expected to be set up by astronauts in NASA's Artemis program, which aims to return to the moon later this decade.)

"When NASA announced back in 2004 they were going back to the moon, I said that instead of an array of 100, we need to have one big one, and I've been playing with that since then," says Currie, now a professor emeritus and senior research scientist in the Department of Physics.

He and NASA hope the next-gen device boosts precision in distance measurements by perhaps a factor of 30, from several centimeters of uncertainty to less than one millimeter.

The imprecision of the current device stems from the fact that observers watching from the ground don't know if a laser pulse bounces back from a reflector on the near corner or the far corner of the array, which are at slightly different and constantly changing distances from the ground because of the moon's slight back-and-forth movement relative to Earth. Having just one mirror removes uncertainty, Currie says.

The new setup will also have the advantage of being shiny and new. Though still functional, evidence suggests the Apollo 11 mission array is significantly blocked by lunar dust; calculations suggest the new device will be 10 times as bright as the current arrays, says Stephen Merkowitz, who's overseeing lunar laser ranging as Space Geodesy Project manager at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.

Solving these problems will contribute to another one, however. The hefty chunk of glass making up the new single retroreflector mirror soaks up and sheds more heat during frigid lunar nights and blazing days, creating a greater possibility for temperature gradients and distorted reflections. Currie and his partners at the National Laboratories of Frascati in Italy worked to minimize that with the retroreflector's housing design.

"A lot of what we're looking to do today builds directly on what was done more than 50 years ago, so Doug's experience working on Apollo is valuable in the present," Merkowitz says.

Currie chuckles looking at a photo he keeps in his office in the Physics Building: It shows Aldrin strolling across the moon, swinging the original UMD mirror array in one hand and another priceless experiment in another. Times have changed.

"Now we're told the astronauts have to carry it in both hands, even though it weighs only a fraction of what Buzz was carrying," he says. "They want you to do one thing at a time, I guess."

New high-power thermoelectric device may provide cooling in next-gen electronics

Next-generation electronics will feature smaller and more powerful components that require new solutions for cooling. A new thermoelectric cooler developed by Penn State scientists greatly improves the cooling power and efficiency compared to current commercial thermoelectric units and may help control heat in future high-power electronics, the researchers said. "Our new material can provide thermoelectric devices with very high cooling power density," said Bed Poudel, research professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Penn State. "We were able to demonstrate that this new device can not only be competitive in terms of technoeconomic measures but outperform the current leading thermoelectric cooling modules. The new generation of electronics will benefit from this development." Thermoelectric coolers transfer heat from one side of the device to the other when electricity is applied, creating a module with cold and hot sides. Placing the cold side on electronic components that generate heat, like laser diodes or microprocessors, can pump the excess heat away and help control the temperature. But as those components become more powerful, thermoelectric coolers will also need to pump more heat, the scientists said.
