When I worked for DEC, I used to love reading the internal DECNotes message board that had collected stories from Field Service about weird installations of our computers.

By far the best one concerned a PDP 11/73, like the one above, that was used to measure nuclear bomb yield. The story went that the system was in a shaft leading to the underground test chamber, and it took readings on the explosion in real time until it was vaporized.

I always hoped this was true but took it with a grain of salt - but this archive.org post about just such a setup at Los Alamos backs it up. The test method is quite ingenious too - the system uses time domain relfectometry (TDR) measurements to measure a length of cable between the bomb and the computer. As the bomb explodes, the blast eats away at the cable, and they can figure out yield and stuff based on how fast it happens.

The PDP 11 is indeed not spared in the process, it transmits its results to a distant receiver before being destroyed what can only be at most seconds later.

That's why the instructions are clear to say "start with a PDP 11 you no longer love." lol.

[trivialbob]

This fall the neighbors behind me had a fence put up. The installer severed the buried cable TV/internet line. The utilities had been marked, but not properly. The cable company quickly put in a temporary above-ground line.

Today a crew was out here with this cool horizontal drilling machine, running a new underground connection. The old lines are just buried cable. The new line will be encased in conduit so it can be more easily replaced (by threading it through the tube) if this happens again.

How do I know this? Of course I was out there talking with the crew. "Hi! I'm Bob, what are you guys doing?"

One large truck with an enormous trailer was in front of my house. Another truck was in front of the neighbors' house on the other street. This was quite a big deal. To me anyway. I had to put my dogs inside because the workers needed to access the drilling area from both yards, on each side of the fence.

Inside one truck was a large pump and tank of slurry used to cut through the semi-frozen soil. The ground isn't frozen hard enough yet to require heating the slurry. One of the guys let me look in the back of the truck.

I can't believe any of my neighbors weren't over here watching all this too.

Once again the workers wouldn't let me operate any of the equipment, not even for a few moments. They always have their BS excuses about "You're not trained" or "Our insurance regulations prohibit non-employees" or "How stupid do you think we are?"

TLSPTS indeed is a meteorological superstructure- but more than that, he was a symbol, as many iteraors were during the times from Prototypes to First Mass Construction Wave.

Network - Ah, this one is quite old ! It predates the construction of Twenty Long Spears Pierce the Sky, as it seems to have been recorded during the installation of additional access ports to the Meteorological Superstructure's network. Although it does look like the implementation of an Iterator to the station was already being suggested at the time, under the project name of Display of Power. The rest of the data is only comprised of intricate maps, which I doubt would be of great interest to a little creature like you.

"Display of Power" or "Supremacy of [Concerned House]" (which became "Supremacy of House of Concerns") were two draft names for project Twenty Long Spears Pierce the Sky. It should give you the general idea behind his construction. As iterators were starting to be mass constructed, they became a major tool in displays of religious and political influence. Those which were not Community-constructed (common accord between multiple Houses or Organizations) could be used as the ultimate sign of "being better" than everyone else.

-> I explain the construction waves in this post if you're interested

When you make a product, you need a form of control over it. You want it to spread and promote specific ideas, ideologies, principles, models and systems. And you certainly want it to see you (and present you) in a good light.

It was also a good way to test certain things before implementing them on future models.

Regarding how a meteorological superstructure would be capable of causing damage- there's a few things !

Twenty Long Spears Pierce the Sky is an Unconventional Model - High Processing Power. He was constructed to monitor the Great Equalizer (when it hadnt stabilized yet and when the mass construction of iterators were still heavily impacting the weather in a way that the Benefactors struggled to fully measure). It collects, processes and stores a gigantic amount of meteorological data, but also runs heavy simulations to estimate the impact of a construction (depending on the area) and its viability (construction impacted by nearby structures ? climate too dangerous for installation ? etc..).

Have it withhold the information, or make the machine generate false data and you start having a problem. He probably isn't the only meterological superstructure out there, but it certainly is one way to get in the way of a project the House is against.

As for something way more rare but quite problematic : mislabelled systems and the Physical Network Points.

Here we have a (poorly drawn) example of how TLSPTS is connected to distant meteorological masts. "Physical Relay" means it's a bunch of cables running underground (or above ground in massive protective layers) connecting various "Physical Network Points" (connection hubs, where multiple relays connect or can be connected). "Non-physical relays" are ones not connected by cables.

These masts are all labelled under "meteorological equipment".

In extremely rare cases, this can happen :

Random equipment is connected to the mast or replaces it, but remains attached to the network point under the same label. This can happen for iterator equipment too (though it's generally fixed if the mistake is caught) but would mostly happen to rushed projects.

Legally speaking, the data passing through these networks and marked as coming from "meteorological equipment" is fully accesible by TLSPTS. He is allowed to process and store it- or share it however he wants. Depending on the mislabelled equipment, that access can become more or less problematic.

-> Not canon but in a fun little rp, one poor iterator (Paths Left Untaken by @fauxbia) had the misfortune of having her internal temperature systems marked as "meteorological equipment". Not fun. Especially when her access to her own data could simply be denied due to it. (Also go look at PLU's design she is such a cool character)

Oh !! I almost forgot about the second part of the tags ! Regarding the Docility Protocols !

He isn't aware of them. He can't, either. A fun little aspect of the Protocols is that they prevent the iterator from recognizing them. You could show a comprehensible piece of code to him and he would not be able to recognize what it is, and it would leave his mind the second he's no longer focused on it.

As for how far the obsession goes ? Think of his general relationship with some Benefactors as a worshipper/god relationship ? Sort of ? So yes, "blind reverence cult" type of vibe. But it also becomes hyper possessive later on (post mass ascension).

-> Example (not canon, but still fun) : the skittering. He tore himself from the earth (and effectively disemboweled himself in the process) just to run after TWO Benefactors, who left to reside within another superstructure.

Also last little thing : he does not have a city because he lacks legs (the structure is sitting on top of an older meteorological station) and the top of the can is too close to the cloud layer. (And also the fact he just generates massive storms by breathing).

It's too big

Part 1 2 3

"How's the Captain holding up?" the overqualified Haespar Kraus asked Trisha, who was just leaving Knoslark's quarters, with a very fine braid he noted.

"Awful, he didn't ask a single thing about sea turtles. It's like I was talkin' to a brick wall, that can knit. I mean I was literally starin' at a wall, but it's like there was nothin' behind me either."

"Well this won't cheer you up then. We need to go on another expedition."

"Already? No way is Ying up and about already, and this" she points an irritated finger at the sign on Knoslark's door, "stupid thing is technically an order from our superior to not do a damn thing."

"Quite. Another technicality is that we will not be leaving the ship for this journey. Remember how the warp jump fried all our quantum gear, as well as numerous sub-systems and left us with one running reactor? That list also includes the internal ship-wide scanners and most monitoring sensors. And the drone controls."

"No way. She can't be serious." Trisha's face began to pale at the realization of what they were about to embark on.

"I'm afraid so."

"TAMEKI!! DO YOU KNOW HOW BIG THIS STUPID SHIP IS! WE'LL BE GOING THROUGH IT FOR WEEKS!"

"Closer to three months. I did the math." Haespar said with a glint of smugness. He loved being right with numbers to back him up. Though it quickly faded as he was also part of this tour of the Radiant Dusk, "At least the turbo-lifts work, so at most we will be a seven hour crawl from everyone else at the furthest nook we have to inspect."

"Woooow, you really know how to cheer a girl up, y'know."

"Even better news then - we can't lift off into space on one reactor in this gravity, AND we don't know if there are any radiation or coolant leaks. Suits on at all times."

"Greeeeat! Now tell me the local aliens are building a giant box around our ship. That way I can be triple packaged."

"Well, they are pelting the ship and trying to get in, but unless they are keeping advanced metallurgy a secret, they won't succeed."

Trisha just rubs her hands over her face before slapping her cheeks: "Right. Okay. Fine. Imma take a nice long bath first. And eat a cake while I talk to Emily about the underground catacombs of Paris. You're NOT invited."

[chuckle] "Hey, I'm just the messenger."

"Well I hate messages, so nyee."

_______________________________

Human ships are big. Seemingly pointlessly so, but there is a reason for everything. Sure, it's not the best reasons, but they're legit.

You need big engines to carry a lot of stuff into space.

You need big power generators to have enough thrust.

You need bigger cargo holds since the generators are taking up too much space.

You need a stronger, thicker hull to keep it all together.

You need more powerful engines now to move all that extra mass.

You need additional lift chutes and corridors to connect all the parts of the ship

You need an army of drones to maintain all of everything.

You need a bigger cargo hold since everything else is taking up the previously allotted space now.

You need...

And it just goes on until somebody finally decides that a 10 kilometer long ship that can transform into a circle is enough engineering for one day. Then you hand it over to a crew of 27 and let them do whatever, you installed a few thousand redundancies and safety features (adding a few hundred thousand meters of wiring, piping and code and a million tons of matter and bumping everything else up a size category in the process, but who's counting) what could go wrong?

Nothing! You're an engineer who thought of everything, not an architect who draws ugly shapes.

So yeah, you try exploring every street and building and attic in your city. Then do it five more times because in space you can just build in every direction. Oh and take notes and pictures of everything, because if you don't, you might miss a loose cable.

And if you happen to be neglectful and try to turn on your star creating power reactors, you might end up with a permanent tan.

1,500-year-Old Anglo-Saxon Cemetery Found in UK

One of the most notable discoveries was the burial of a teenage girl and child.

Archaeologists in the United Kingdom have announced a major historical discovery dating back to as early as the 6th century after finding the buried remains of over 20 people alongside a range of grave goods including knives, jewelery and pottery vessels, officials said.

Scientists working on the National Grid’s Viking Link project -- construction of the world’s longest land and subsea interconnector involving installation of submarine and underground cables between the United Kingdom and Denmark -- have dug 50 archaeological sites along the onshore cable route since 2020, according to a statement from Wessex Archaeology in the United Kingdom.

“The wealth of evidence recovered is shedding light on life across rural south-east Lincolnshire from prehistory to the present day, with highlights including a Bronze Age barrow and a Romano-British farmstead. The most striking discovery, however, is the remains of an Anglo-Saxon cemetery,” according to Wessex Archaeology.

“The burials in the cemetery deliberately focus on an earlier Bronze Age ring ditch and indicate the funerary landscape was long established,” scientists said. “Archaeologists uncovered the buried remains of over 20 people alongside a range of grave goods including knives, jewellery and pottery vessels. From these 250 artefacts, experts know the cemetery dates to the 6th and 7th centuries AD.”

Among some of the most notable discovery was the burial of a teenage girl and a child, both of whom lay on their sides with the child tucked in behind the older girl, officials said.

“Two small gold pendants set with garnets and a delicate silver pendant with an amber mount were recovered from around the teenager’s head or chest, together with two small blue glass beads and an annular brooch,” according to Wessex Archaeology.

The relationship between the child and the teenager is not yet known -- and may never be -- but scientists are now conducting research and analysis on the subjects, including isotope and Ancient DNA analysis of the skeletal remains.

Officials say that this critical research could help to identify “familial relationships and broader genetic links both within this community and between others in the region, and the movement of people in wider society.”

“I really enjoyed being part of the project. It was surprising how many artefacts we found across the route - the gold Anglo-Saxon pendant from the burial ground was a highlight as was the outreach with the local communities to share what we found,” said Peter Bryant who led the project for Viking Link. “It has been very interesting and exciting to help unearth the hidden treasures that have lain dormant for hundreds of years, in such a careful way.”

Specialists will also be looking at the artefacts discovered on the burial site as well as the layout of the cemetery in hopes of learning more about the economic, cultural and social factors affecting this specific community, “including the import of exotic goods and the health of those buried within different parts of the cemetery,” according to Wessex Archaeology. “Although many Anglo-Saxon cemeteries are known in Lincolnshire, most were excavated decades ago when the focus was on the grave goods, not the people buried there,” said Jacqueline McKinley, principal osteoarchaeologist of Wessex Archaeology. “Excitingly, here we can employ various scientific advancements, including isotopic and DNA analyses. This will give us a far better understanding of the population, from their mobility to their genetic background and even their diet.”

Said Wessex Archaeology following the discovery: “As this research unfolds, we hope to greatly extend our understanding of Anglo-Saxon life and death in the region."

While most telecom networks bury their cables 60cm (about 2ft) underground, PalTel buries its cables up to 8 metres (26ft)  deep. In case the Israelis cut off electricity, its data centres in Gaza also have three layers of redundancy: generators, solar panels and batteries. The company has also developed emergency protocols to direct workers remotely from the occupied West Bank, and if severed communications make this impossible, Gazan staff are empowered to act autonomously. Despite all the redundancies and preparations, the sheer scale of bombings these past weeks has still crippled the network. About 70 percent of the mobile network has been taken offline. Solar panels have been rendered mostly useless either by being destroyed in attacks or covered in dust and debris. The relentless nature of the conflict is also weighing on staff, who are dogged by danger from their house to the field. Rabih*, a fibre optics technician, was called to repair a cable just metres from the border on October 15. Prior to going, he had to give an exhaustive list of the repair team’s names, the colour of their cars and registration numbers to the Israelis, because “a mistake could be deadly”. As Rabih and his team laboured for two hours to fix the cable, the buzz of a drone above him and the sounds of shelling intermingled with the sound of their excavator. “Any wrong move could mean being targeted. I cannot explain to my wife and kids why I do that or why I volunteer to go out during the war. My company doesn’t oblige me, but if someone can do it, it has to be me,” he said. No matter how many metres deep they dig or the number of solar panels they install, Gaza’s connections to the outside world ultimately relies on the Israelis.

The cables that connect Gaza to the outside world run through Israel, and the country on at least two occasions has deliberately cut off the strip’s international communications. “It’s clear for us that it was cut off by a decision. What proves this is that we didn’t do anything to get it back,” Melhem said. Israel also controls fuel to Gaza, allowing a small trickle into Gaza on Friday after weeks of pressure from the United States. Described as a “drop in the bucket” by humanitarian groups, Israel announced that 120,000 litres (31,700 gallons) of fuel would be allowed into the territory every two days for use by hospitals, bakeries and other essential services. PalTel will also be given 20,000 litres (5,283 gallons) of fuel every two days for its generators. On Thursday, the company had announced it would go into a full telecoms blackout because its fuel reserves were exhausted for the first time during the current war. According to Mamoon Fares, the corporate support director at PalTel, the 20,000 litres provided “should be enough to operate a good part of the network”. However, Gaza’s telecoms network will still be at the mercy of Israel should it decide to cut off fuel deliveries or network services that run through its territory. Without the ability to communicate, the already dismal situation in Gaza would only further deteriorate. “No ambulances, no emergency services, no civil defence or humanitarian organisations can work without telecommunications,” Melhem said. * Names have been changed to protect the individuals’ safety.

Hydra is a little over the edge sometimes. Going to extreme lengths to get what she wants. Starting from when she was a smeet, Hydra is one of the many first patch of sworms made in the new smeetery underground. Those who have been cloned and automatically given paks once hatched out of their containment pods. Hydra, with the knowledge she was given during installment. Was already eager to start her duties. Tallest Axel was the first to greet her and the others. A short meet and greet but this allowed the smeets to know who they are going to serve. Hydra began her basic training in the simulation room with the others.

She made quite a ruckus in there. Her competitive side clearly showing but at least her scores are up. Hydra went wants to be a military strategist. She made some good impressions on her peers but was too uncertain about showing this off to the tallest. A close comrade put in a good for her though. She now sits with the top generals of the Irken military. Organizing plans and setting up camp bases on other planets. Hydra started out small with this but wanted to go bigger. Gathering anything valuable to bring back to Irk. She stayed in her sector for some time before become tallest herself.

The decision on that was based on her development and strategic mind on things. The control brains wanted Hydra do lead and command a raid on a nearby planet, which she did without a second thought. Her soldiers reported that the inhabitants were not much trouble to take down, so the raid went well. Gathering some more weaponry is on her list and it did take her some time to gather enough of a fighting force to take down larger creatures that the irkens usually try to avoid. One day, Hydra was summoned by the control brain and is told that there are some irkens who are stepping out of order and are causing problems in the system.

She is to snuff them out once caught. The tallest did find them but then realize that the ones she’s after are just smeets. Just out of their containers. They’ve must have wondered off on their own and began messing with some of the computer system in the chamber room. Hydra is confused as to why does she need to get rid of these smeets? The leader crouched down to get a better look at them and she gasped. They are all disfigured and abnormal in a way. One smeet had one broken antenna and a bulging eye ball. Another has a head bigger than the rest of its body. She found one smeet clinging to her gown. This one has two sets of arms and is chirping at her. Hydra contacted the maintenance crew for repair the damages. Along with them came the disposal staff. They round up the smeets and took them to another room. The tallest was horrified to know that it wasn’t that these smeets were messing with the cable wires in there.

It’s because of their appearance and odd behavior that disturbed the brains, that they want these new smeets to die. Tallest Hydra only managed to save a few of them from being put to death by the maintenance crew. She marched right back to the chamber of the control brains and demand an explanation from them. It was said that they do not wish to have any disturbance from their subjects. Any that are in that factor will be terminated, including smeets. Tallest Hydra was against this plot and tried her best to reason with the control brains. They disregard everything said to them and ordered the tallest to return to her work. Hydra couldn’t focus much because of that incident. Her only distraction was snacking down food in her chamber. Few days later, there was a report that a planet called Estopia is flourishing with medical herbs that the empire can benefit with. Delighted with this discovery. Tallest Hydra went on this trip.

Taking few of her soldiers with her to investigate this planet. When they got to planet Estupia, they were immediately attacked by the locals there. The Irken troops were the first killed. Tallest Hydra fended them off long enough to send out a distress signal from her gauntlet before taking a final blow to the head and died right there. She and the others are taken back to Irk. News of their tallest goin to a planet like that was strange to them. According to the researchers, there is no planet called Estupia. The same itself sounds like “Stupid” all butchered up. So where did tallest Hydra get these reports from? Nobody knows for sure, but this was definitely a set up mission and it cost the life of their leader as well as her defense soldiers. Later that evening, a vigil was held for her before tallest Hydra was given to the morgue handling drones. Detaching her pak and giving it to the control brains to refurbish.

And Hydra’s body goes to the machine. Where here body will be broken down into its basic materials and her DNA is used for the next generation of factory smeets. Progress in the Irken economy have been slowing down since her death. And until a new tallest was measured. The control brains took charge.

Avoid Costly Delays: How Scanning Utility Locating Saves You Time and Money

In today's fast-paced construction and infrastructure development landscape, time is money. Any unforeseen delays can significantly inflate costs and disrupt project timelines. One of the most effective ways to mitigate these risks is by employing advanced scanning utility locating techniques. Safe Scanners, a leader in this field, offers state-of-the-art GPR Services, GPR Scanning, Ground Penetrating Radar, and Concrete Scanning Services. These services ensure that projects proceed smoothly, without the costly interruptions caused by unforeseen utility line strikes or structural issues.

The Importance of Utility Locating Services

Before any excavation, drilling, or construction work begins, it's crucial to know what lies beneath the surface. Utility locating services help identify the presence of underground utilities such as water pipes, gas lines, electrical cables, and telecommunications infrastructure. Unintended strikes on these utilities can cause severe delays, legal liabilities, safety hazards, and increased costs.

Safe Scanners' Utility Locating Services use advanced technology to provide accurate and reliable subsurface information. This proactive approach not only prevents damage but also enhances project planning and efficiency.

How Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) Works

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a non-destructive method that uses radar pulses to image the subsurface. GPR Scanning involves transmitting high-frequency radio waves into the ground. When these waves encounter a buried object or a boundary between different materials, they reflect back to the surface, where they are detected by a receiver. The time it takes for the radar waves to return is used to create a detailed image of the subsurface.

GPR Services provided by Safe Scanners are invaluable in detecting utilities, voids, rebar, and other structural components. This technology is highly effective in a variety of materials, including soil, rock, concrete, and asphalt, making it versatile for different construction needs.

Benefits of GPR Scanning and Concrete Scanning Services

Accuracy and Precision: GPR Scanning delivers highly accurate results, allowing construction teams to pinpoint the exact location and depth of utilities and other subsurface features. This precision reduces the risk of damaging existing infrastructure and ensures compliance with safety regulations.

______________________________________________

VI. Slipping through the crowd, you tie back your mane of long hair and pull your hood over your face. There's a passageway on the lower level, between the Battle Dome and concourses, that would take you to the combatants’ tunnel on the north side of the Arena. 

It’s where you’d originally planned to meet Mando ahead of the games tonight — before making your disastrous, impromptu dinner plans.

You jog down a long corridor of shining metal cages built to hold all manner of beasts before setting them loose in the Arena. By this point in the night, you find the place deserted. The cages are empty, with only a few gamekeepers remaining to muck out the stalls.

Empty, you remind yourself each time one of the flickering lamps along the corridor makes the shadows stir and come to life. 

Taking the journey at a run, you burst out of the passageway and, sprinting, fall in behind the Trandoshan, who braced Mando’s every step away from the anarchic scene still raging inside the Arena. 

“Who’s thisss?” Rumia hisses, her forked tongue flicking suspiciously over long yellowing fangs.

“A friend,” the Mandalorian grunts. 

Which is exciting news because he’s never referred to you as a friend before. The bounty hunter wasn't exactly in the habit of making introductions—or friends, for that matter. You would probably crack a smile or say something coy if he didn’t look like absolute shit right now.  

“This way,” you tell her, throwing the cloak over his glinting armor. “There’s a place we can hide.”

Ducking under Mando’s other arm, between the two of you, his pace quickens. The raucous sound from the crowd grows fainter as you make your way back toward the cages—until Imiako’s unmistakable roar fills the mouth of the tunnel behind you. 

“We need to move,” Rumia urges, and you both practically shove Mando through the door in your haste.

“Huh,” she snorts. “Never knew this was back here.”

You whisper breathlessly, “How long do you think we’ll need to wait for the stands to clear out?” 

“With the Houk looking for us? I’m not leaving before dawn.”

“Catacombs,” Mando groans, clutching at his side.

“What?” 

“Under the Arena. The Hutts built…on top of the ruins.” He pants. “Should be tunnels that run...into the old city sewers.” 

Scanning with his helmet, the Mandalorian locates a drainage system under the cages feeding downward into the underground maze of ossuaries. Undeterred by the stench, the Trandoshan yanks the grate cover aside, tucks her scaly elbows in, and jumps. You are nowhere near that intrepid and peer down the twenty meters or so of corroded pipe skeptically.   

“Here, I’ll lower you with the whipcord.” 

“Mando, you’re–”

“Come on,” he commands sternly, unspooling a length of cable from his vambrace. 

You step forward dutifully as though it’s a conditioned response—barely stifling a gasp when he reaches between your legs to pull the wire over your shoulder and behind your back.

“Too tight?” he asks, securing the cable across your chest. Not trusting yourself to speak, you twist, shift, and shrug your shoulders before giving him the thumbs up. 

“This is a good jacket,” Mando says matter-of-factly, inspecting the leather. 

“I–thanks,” you stammer, taken by surprise at the compliment. “It belonged to my brother...”

Nodding, he wraps the cord around his waist and readies himself in a deep squat to belay you down the pipe. Concentrating on a slow, steady tread, you maintain your footing for most of the descent without relying on the cable. Even so, when he touches down beside you, his left leg buckles under the impact. T​​he gods only knew how many stitches he had left intact.

“Stop.” He barks at the Trandoshan, turning on his headlamp. “This way. I left tracks.” 

“Where are we heading?” 

“Speeder bike. I stowed one at the nearest above ground exit. It’s not far from here.” 

“A man with an escape plan. Am-shak be praised!” You notice Rumia has this habit of punctuating each word with a sly tug of her thin lips. And you know what, it's heartening to watch someone else tease him for a change. 

Mando leans heavily onto your shoulders as the three of you travel through the tight passageways of roughly hewn stone, blackened from centuries of torch smoke. Except for the occasional corrective change in course, he remains silent, his wheezing breaths echoing off the surrounding rock in the quiet darkness.

Finally, you spot the speeder at the end of the next tunnel, poised and ready. 

“We’re about a kilometer east of the old temple,” Mando says, heaving the rusted gate open with his shoulder.

Crisp, cool air cuts through the stale rot of the catacombs, filling your lungs. You all pause to gulp down those first full breaths of clean air before the Mandalorian turns to Rumia, holding out his hand. “Thanks for your help.” 

“Thanks for the win.” She replies, giving it an amicable shake. “Don’t suppose I’ll see you in the Arena?”

“No,” he says, ignoring her flirtatious tone. “We’re leaving. Now.” 

Mando lifts up a knee to swing his right leg over the bike, only to stagger backward with a guttural moan, clutching his thigh. 

“You fly,” he says in your general direction. “I’ll get on the back.”

“Um, yeah…” 

So, Mando riding behind you, his groin pressed against your ass with his arms wrapped around your waist, is definitely the stuff of your wet dreams. Alas, it is not meant to be. “I’m not going to be able to pilot the bike.”

“Why not?”

“I, uh...do not know how.”

There’s a prolonged silence while he presumably just stares at you in disbelief. Rumia’s tongue slithers over her face to lick the moisture from her eyeball.

“Well, if neither of you plan to–”

“It’s yours,” Mando says before the Trandoshan can finish, retrieving his sniper rifle from the speeder.

Feeling foolish, you raise a hand and offer her your thanks.

“Token of my gratitude,” she says, tossing you a pouch of jingling credits. Her winnings from that night’s matches. “Small price to pay for my new rankings tomorrow. Should see quite a boost after beating a Mandalorian.” 

Mando replies with a curt, “Congratulations,” while Rumia mounts the bike, buoyed by her good fortune. 

“Better enjoy it while I can,” she laughs over her shoulder before opening the throttle and accelerating into the starry night.

Vacuum Excavation Services - Precise Contractors

What is vacuum excavation used for?

Vacuum excavation, also known as hydro excavation or soft digging, is a non-destructive digging method that uses high-pressure water or air to break up soil, and a vacuum system to remove the debris. This technique is commonly used for various purposes in construction, utility maintenance, and other industries. Some of the key applications of vacuum excavation include:

Utility Locating and Exposure:

Safe Excavation around Utilities: Vacuum excavation is often used to safely expose and locate underground utilities such as water pipes, gas lines, electrical cables, and telecommunications cables. This helps prevent damage to these critical infrastructure elements during construction or excavation projects.

Potholing:

Utility Potholing: Contractors use vacuum excavation to create small, precise holes (potholes) to visually inspect and verify the location of buried utilities before conducting any major excavation work. This reduces the risk of accidental damage to underground infrastructure.

Trenching:

Trenching for Utilities: Vacuum excavation is employed for creating trenches needed for installing utilities. The non-destructive nature of the process reduces the likelihood of damaging existing utilities in the vicinity.

Debris Cleanup:

Spill Cleanup: Vacuum excavation is useful for cleaning up spills or removing loose materials in industrial settings. The vacuum system efficiently collects and transports debris without disturbing the surrounding environment.

Environmental Sampling:

Soil Sampling: Vacuum excavation can be used for collecting soil samples in an environmentally sensitive manner, without causing contamination or disturbance to the surrounding area.

Slot Trenching:

Narrow Trenching: In situations where a narrow trench is required, such as for installing small pipes or cables, vacuum excavation provides a precise method for creating these narrow slots without causing unnecessary disruption.

Cold Weather Excavation:

Frozen Ground Excavation: Vacuum excavation is particularly useful in cold climates where the ground may be frozen. The high-pressure water or air can break up the frozen soil, and the vacuum system can remove the material.

Archaeological Excavation:

Sensitive Excavation: In archaeological applications, vacuum excavation is used for delicate and precise excavation around artifacts to avoid damage.

Overall, vacuum excavation is chosen for its precision, safety, and environmental benefits compared to traditional mechanical digging methods. It minimizes the risks associated with damaging underground infrastructure and reduces the environmental impact of excavation projects.
