Villain Or Victim, Chapter 5

For the following few nights, Loki continued to take Echo out of her cell without anyone else knowing. Aside from Thor, who had given up on telling Loki how bad of an idea it was.

Usually, Loki took her up onto the roof, which seemed to be her favourite place. He did take her for a walk around the grounds too, which she seemed to enjoy.

But tonight, he had something different in mind. After taking her up onto the roof again for a little while, he suggested something else.

‘How would you like to use up some energy in the training field?’ Loki asked her while rubbing her arm. They were sitting close together on the rooftop and he had his arm around her.

‘Would that be ok?’ She asked quietly.

‘Of course. I know you will likely still feel trapped and cooped up. I thought perhaps doing some training of your skills will help, might help you sleep better too.’

Echo had been struggling to sleep well, and she had told Loki that yesterday. It probably was partly due to not doing much during the day, not getting the same exercise like she normally did.

‘That would be great… Thank you, Loki.’ She smiled at him.

Loki took her hand and gave her a gentle squeeze, he led her back down and outside to the field.

He watched from the side as she ran laps around the perimeter first, not quite at her full speed but still an impressive speed none the less. Then she impressed him with some fighting techniques on the robot trainers that Stark had invented. They kept popping up around her but she was able to take them all down with various kicks or punches. She was really agile and light on her feet, which Loki hadn’t noticed previously when they’d been originally fighting her.

He tapped his lip in deep thought while he continued watching her.

‘She has so much potential.’ He hummed quietly to himself.

The Avengers were all having their daily meeting to speak about Echo. They got updates from Loki about how she was doing with him, if she was opening up more and if she had told him anymore information that could be useful.

Bruce and Tony would update everyone about their progress in the lab. And there was some…

‘I think, if we can make a serum… a form of nerve block, so to speak, we can perhaps stop her outbursts. We now know the issue is coming from her occipital nerve, so we just need to come up with a solution that will last long enough to block it. Even if we need to administer it monthly, that would be better than nothing.’ Bruce said.

They had been able to work with Echo and she had been letting them run some tests. Including many brain scans to pinpoint where the issue was coming from. She had only been able to allow them to do said tests with Loki’s support though of course.

Though they did need to enrage her on purpose a few times, so they could see her brain in action, which had been relatively easy to do.

‘How long will it take to make this serum?’ Loki queried.

Bruce hummed for a moment in thought. ‘Not sure. It might take a few attempts, but I’d be hopeful within a few weeks we will have the right solution.’

‘I think we can probably do it in about ten days.’ Tony interjected.

‘That soon?’ Loki asked, keeping his tone casual though he was surprised to hear it could be so soon.

‘It shouldn’t be too difficult. We will need to take a few more samples from her, but it will be straight forward enough.’ Tony shrugged.

Loki nodded once. ‘Good.’

He then kept quiet for the rest of the duration of the meeting. He just listened to plans the team came up with, while also forming a plan of his own for Echo. Though he wasn’t going to have as much time now as he had originally thought he would.

Even though he had her trust, he still wasn’t entirely sure how far that trust would go yet.

‘Are the team any closer to finding a solution for me?’ Echo asked Loki that night, he was in her cell spending some time with her. He had pulled her onto his lap to cuddle, knowing how much she liked that. Especially when he stroked her hair, it was so soothing for her.

‘Not yet, but they are working hard on it. Between missions they’re in the lab trying to find one.’

‘Do you think it will ever be possible for me to live a normal life? To not have to be caged up constantly?’ She asked.

Loki gently cupped her face and rubbed his thumb against her cheek. ‘You’re not a danger to me, so that’s a big start. It proves it can be done.’

‘I just… want to be normal. I hate being like this, getting angry at nothing.’ She said through gritted teeth, even just thinking and speaking about it made her get worked up.

‘Shh, darling. It’s ok, we will get you there.’ Loki soothed her and she instantly began to calm again. He kissed her forehead, making her heart flutter.

‘Have you been sleeping better now that you’ve been doing some training each night?’ He asked.

‘Yeah, I have. Thank you.’ Echo nodded. ‘Would the others be really angry if they found out? Even though I’ve not done anything wrong, and I’ve always been supervised by you?’

‘They probably would. It’s best we still keep it a secret.’ He winked at her. ‘How would you like to try something a bit different tomorrow night?’

‘What do you have in mind?’ Echo asked curiously.

‘How about going off site for a little bit? There’s a… special little mission I need to do. One that I could do with having your help on.’ Loki said.

‘What… what sort of mission?’ Echo raised an eyebrow.

‘I will fill you in more tomorrow on the way there, if you’re up for going?’

Echo pondered on it for a moment, then nodded. She trusted Loki, so why not? If she could be useful, then surely that was a good thing?

‘Excellent.’ Loki grinned widely and gently kissed her on the lips.

If there's one thing I like more than time travel it's crossover reincarnation, so.

Botk link reincarnated as Damian Wayne.

An incredible weapon master of all types, but especially prodigious with a sword - he was beating knights at the age of 4 and with his memories as intact as they get for him I can see that goalpost moving even further (probably with traps and tricks, a 3yo doesn't exactly have great bodily control).

He's an excellent survivalist, agile, strong, durable, cunning and creative. He can move like a feather in the breeze, strike from behind with ease. His first kill, an animal, did not stir him as it did the other children. With his poise, grace, skills, obedience, he ought to be ra'as' finest assassin in the making, a jewel in the crown of the league.

Except he never speaks a word. Half his targets escape unscathed. He skates by true punishment on the merit of his skills and achievements in other missions. Testing has shown it is not a physical deformity that prevents his speech, but not even talia has been able to coaxe a word from him past his second birthday.

It is a defect ra'as is growing more and more frustrated by, as each attempt to fix these two final flaws ends in resounding failure. Less extreme solutions are running dry.

Talia fears those solutions. Her child does too, she knows. For them, there is a possible solution, more extreme than anything ra'as would tolerate.

She sends him out of the league. To his father.

To Gotham.

#'gee phoenix that sure sounds like that dp x dc you're normally rattling on about' yeah lol I steal tropes and sell them on the black market #Anyway this has been slowly rotisserie-ing in my head for a while I just like shaking canon like a magic 8 ball #I'd love to explore how link would react to Gotham and how he might see getting suddenly dumped in a found family as the youngest #And how that contrasts with both his expectations in the league and his role as the saviour last hope of a whole country #Because that kid cannot have a modern interpretation of killing. Like monsters? Kill with prejudice loot the corpses.#The yiga might have a little more hindsight understanding and he never killed them anyway but zero hesitation blowing them up #And ganon is so far removed from the concept of 'killing is bad' because a) human??? Monster??? B) literally the problem #C) he's been killing people so it'd even out d) everyone wants him dead So Bad e) been killed already like a dozen times what's one more #I get the feeling he'd assign the same role to the joker like 'widely considered the source of all evil. 'died' several times and came back #personal source of absolute misery for several heroes. Killed many' = slay the monster. Straightforward.#Like yes link always chooses kindness and has a strong morality and Opinion on killing people it's just a lot would be solved #By hitting the joker until he stopped making life miserable for everyone and if that means permanently well that's kind of link's job.#And like with Jason the bats understand that a lot better than they pretend to. But that is a 10yo who should not be thinking like that.#I think it'd be interesting to see how that'd change their reactions to 'Damian'. Like he holds a very similar opinion to og and Jason he #Just goes about it completely differently.#And I'd love to explore the differences between two fictional worlds and how they can go from pretty much the most black/white morality #To probably one of the greyest areas while still holding near identical themes and methods of dealing with that.#Found family compassion as a weapon against evil and copious amounts of weapons and cool gear lol #Also link should keep the arm he's earned it. Reincarnating with all his memories knocked a few other things loose I'd imagine #Mostly because all the loz games I've played have absolutely altered the way I view any link and also I love referencing them.#Damian with telekinesis and infinite glue would be great. A tiny 10yo sword master choosing instead to drop a dumpster on you #In between hurt comfort link beginning to bond with his family and begin to speak and learn sign language from cass #There's also the sound of explosives and a small figure clinging to a flying door as it crosses the Gotham night skies #Speaking of cass I bet her and link would be great friends in this au.#batman #batfam #bruce wayne #loz au #Loz #loz totk

DevOps: Balancing the Scales of Advantages and Challenges

In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, the term "DevOps" has become more than just a buzzword; it's a transformative force that's reshaping the way software is developed and delivered. DevOps, a fusion of "development" and "operations," represents a seismic shift in the world of software engineering and IT operations. It's not just a methodology; it's a cultural movement aimed at achieving agility, collaboration, and efficiency in the modern tech ecosystem.

In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore the essential aspects of DevOps, including why it's a necessity in today's technology-driven world. We'll delve into the advantages and disadvantages of DevOps practices and their impact on businesses.

Why DevOps is a Necessity Today

In the fast-paced and dynamic world of technology, businesses can't afford the delays and bottlenecks that traditional software development and deployment processes often entail. DevOps emerges as the solution to this challenge, bridging the gap between the two historically distinct domains of software development and IT operations.

The need for DevOps is driven by several critical factors:

Agility: Modern businesses must respond swiftly to changing customer needs and market trends. DevOps practices empower organizations to deliver software faster and respond more effectively to shifts in the market.

Quality: Customer expectations are at an all-time high. High-quality software with minimal bugs and issues is not just a preference; it's an expectation. DevOps practices, such as continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), are designed to improve software quality.

Efficiency: The automation of repetitive tasks in the software development and deployment process leads to greater efficiency and reduced manual errors. This automation also cuts operational costs.

Collaboration: DevOps promotes cross-functional collaboration between traditionally siloed development and operations teams. It breaks down communication barriers and fosters a more efficient exchange of ideas and information.

Scalability: The ability to scale infrastructure and applications quickly and efficiently is crucial in a rapidly changing tech landscape. DevOps practices facilitate this scalability.

The Advantages of DevOps

DevOps offers a multitude of benefits, making it a compelling choice for businesses looking to streamline their software development and deployment processes.

Faster Delivery: One of the most significant advantages of DevOps is the acceleration of the development, testing, and deployment of software. This leads to a substantial reduction in time-to-market.

Improved Collaboration: DevOps eliminates the silos that traditionally separated development and operations teams. Enhanced collaboration and communication lead to more efficient workflows and processes.

Enhanced Quality: Continuous integration and continuous delivery practices in DevOps result in higher-quality software with fewer bugs and issues. This directly contributes to greater customer satisfaction.

Efficiency: Automation of repetitive tasks and processes improves efficiency, reduces manual errors, and cuts operational costs. The cost-effectiveness of DevOps is a significant advantage for organizations.

The Disadvantages of DevOps

While the advantages of DevOps are clear and compelling, it's essential to recognize that there are challenges and potential disadvantages associated with its adoption.

Initial Learning Curve: Implementing DevOps practices and tools can be challenging, particularly for teams and individuals who are accustomed to traditional software development and IT operations processes. There is a learning curve associated with the adoption of DevOps practices.

Cost: Setting up and maintaining DevOps practices and tools can be costly, especially for small businesses. The initial investment in infrastructure and training can be a barrier for some organizations.

Security Concerns: DevOps emphasizes speed and automation, which can sometimes come at the expense of security. While security is a fundamental aspect of DevOps, there may be concerns about the potential trade-offs between speed and security. Organizations must place a strong emphasis on security within their DevOps practices.

Resistance to Change: DevOps represents a cultural shift within organizations. Employees may resist changes to traditional ways of working, and there can be resistance to new processes and tools.

In conclusion, DevOps is not just a methodology; it's a necessity in today's tech-driven world. It offers numerous advantages, including faster delivery, improved collaboration, enhanced quality, efficiency, and scalability. While there are challenges associated with its adoption, the benefits of DevOps far outweigh the disadvantages.

If you're considering a career in DevOps, there's no better time to embark on this transformative journey.

The Problems of being a Techmaster (...or, Entrapta Forgot What Side She’s On Again).

Length: 1927 words

Characters: Bow, Entrapta, Catra, featuring Scorpia and Hordak

Bow tapped his fingers against the adorable little doodles on the paper, watching Travis spin himself back and forth in his chair out of agitation.

Travis was the guildmaster of the Makers' Guild. He was usually a nervous sort, nice enough, silently working on his prosthetics and the magazine most days, but this time he had called on Bow for help in quite a hurry. Travis had received a very strange letter.

It was scrawled in the messiest kind of handwriting, like the sender was impatiently trying to get their thoughts out way faster than their pen could move. The way it was clearly written in byro pen, rather than with a quill, already narrowed down who it could've come from.

When Bow squinted, he could make out the contents:

Hi Travin (I hope I got it right this time?)

I read your article last month about the problems youve been researching with keeping all the crops in Erelandia irrigated during the dry season, and I thought your solution with using a water arrow rainfall was very creative but also seems really inefficient!!! It would be more effective to just water the plants by hand at that stage?

There was a cute illustration of an arrow with a tiny water trail, and a big X next to it.

Bow frowned at this. Nevermind that the article on crops was written five months ago. He thought his suggestion was perfect! Exercise and agility training for everyone, while they help their food grow. But hey, what did he know!! (Okay maybe everyone had looked at him funny when he brought it up but THEY didn't have any better ideas now did they?)

I've been working on lots of exciting new projects recently, and over here they have an entire system that helps you store and use large amounts of water! There are towns with decent sewage systems, sure, but over here the water can be clean as well and people use it to keep themselves clean or drink. I think it's brilliant and it could improve so many things!!! But I've put together an early plan for how we can use a similar system to keep food healthy. They don't eat fresh food here, so I haven't tested this idea yet, but maybe you'll like it!

The notes detailed a plan of laying pipes and hoses around the crop fields, connecting them to a reservoir, and distributing water evenly. There were even very rough ideas for a conservatory, using heating and glass to keep crops warm during the coldest seasons. Bow wasn't so sure on using canisters full of incredibly flammable gas to power the system, but it was at least inspired. Bow had not been there for long, but he believed everything written down was based on the Fright Zone's gas and water technology. These plans were rushed onto paper, and the edges were covered in inattentive little scribbles, but everything important was laid out in incredible detail.

Entrapta had drawn further illustrations at the end with a tiny figure and a robot, probably herself and Emily, going “WOW!!!” at the new hypothetical irrigation system. Bow loved the energy. It was a shame they'd never gotten to bond over their love of drawing cute things before she switched sides. Maybe if he asked her to check out Tiny Bow and his other model figures the next time they were fighting, he could get her to rejoin the Rebellion---

“What can we do?” Travis whimpered. “The notes are crude and unrefined, but this really could change the outlook for Erelandia, I HAVE to post this on my name as a techmaster, but how am I supposed to publish research made by the Horde?! They'll remove me from the guild and then TOMMIE will take over, Bow, please make sure Tommie doesn't take over, he's a big jerk--” Travis's chair was rotating so fast that it flipped over and he fell onto the floor.

“--Whoah whoah, calm down, buddy!!” Bow got up and helped Travis sit back down, giving him a hug. “You're overthinking this. Probably? I'm not sure? Maybe you won't die?”

“And why is Entrapta still sending letters? With Horde secrets?!” Travis stared at him pleadingly. “That's weird. Do you think that's weird? Am I weird for thinking that's weird?!”

Bow scratched his chin. “To be honest I think she just forgets which side is which.”

“I'm... not surprised by that, actually.” Travis sighed and fell back into his chair. “Dammit Entrapta, why did you have to join the Horde!!! This would be so much easier.”

“Hey, uhh.... at least she knows about irrigation systems now? And is sharing that with us? That... almost makes it silver lining?” Bow read the notes again. Something was missing. When he realised what, a lightbulb went off in his head.

“Travis, what proof is there that you're publishing a paper written by the Horde... when there won't be a name credited to it?”

Travis raised both eyebrows, and leaned forward on his hands, eyes piercing through Bow with sharp accusation. “Are you suggesting we plagiarize, Bow?”

“Wha-- no, of course not---”

“Do we have to re-educate you on the Ten Laws of Makers?”

“--I'm NOT PLAGIARIZING”, Bow squeaked. “there is NO NAME on the paper!!!”

“But there is literally a drawing of Entrapta on it and it's in her handwriting--?”

“That could be any random pigtailed person with, an incredibly messy writing style!!” Bow met Travis's eyes, trying his best to calm down. “Look, we publish the submission and say it was sent anonymously, and everyone gets to learn something, and when someone asks where it came from, we have no idea, right? We suspect it was Entrapta, but can we know for sure? And we wouldn't lie, or turn away such a great submission!” Bow put his hands behind his head. “So, we are completely clean.”

Travis raised his goggles. “Bow, you are a beautiful, evil genius.”

Bow blushed and scratched his ear.

_____________________

Catra trudged towards the old prison cells after a long, hard day of carrying the entire Horde. Today, Kyle forgot to put the handbrake on a tank, which crashed into a wall that everyone had to repair. It was probably Kyle. He was blamed for it anyway. It took Catra eight hours to get the materials order and manpower in to repair both the tank and the wall. How this place had survived for 30 years was anyone's guess!

She was heading to Entrapta's “lab”. It wasn't because she wanted the company of her friends, not at all! They're not her friends, they're her co-workers. Nothing more! No more friends ever again!!! It was because she needed to hand some orders over to Entrapta for the next weapons shipment. She wondered why Hordak never did any of this busywork himself. All he did most days was growl and look intimidating. Okay, yeah, it was genuinely terrifying, but still pathetic-- wait what was she doing again? Right, orders, lab.

Catra entered the lab, and as usual, Entrapta was making happy noises and spinning around in her chair, while Emily chased her, and Scorpia cheered on from the sidelines, obviously confused as to what the good news was. Catra counted Entrapta's chaotic spins in her head, and on the seventh count, she stopped the chair with her foot as it passed her by.

“I need you to focus--” Catra flinched as some kind of notebook was flopped on top of her head. She ripped it off and nearly tore it to shreds but anything Entrapta gave her had a 50% chance of being either critically important or random trash, so she checked it first. “The Makers' Magazine...? What the--” Catra flipped through the pags. “Entrapta, is this your handwriting?”

Entrapta had been staring up at Catra, vibrating with an incredible amount of potential energy which needed to be released in small burts or it would probably destroy the room. It started to leak out. “They posted my paper!!! I spent ages thinking about that!! I'm so happy they liked it---”

“This is the fright zone shower system???? You're literally sharing Horde infrastructure plans with the Rebellion?”

“Huh?” One of Entrapta's hair hands scratched the side of her face. “I didn't think the Guild was with the Rebellion. Is that a bad thing?”

Catra stared wide-eyed. “Yes??? They have a water princess? If she uses that then she can destroy our water system??”

Entrapta folded her arms. “Well that seems mean, but we'd just have to put it back together!”

Catra held back a scream.

Scorpia could see that Catra was at breaking point, so she hopped in. “Hey, I thought you did a great job! I loved the little drawings of you and Emily they were so cute! And also those plant things sound interesting?” She took the book from Catra. “Wait, did they not credit you? This was apparently sent in by 'a generous anonymous source'”.

“Aww crumbs, did I forget to write my name down again?” Entrapta shrugged with her arms and hair. “Oh well.”

“It's alright, maybe next time.”

“But hang on, that doesn't make any sense. How come Bow sent me a copy of the magazine with this?” Entrapta produced a “thank you” note with a cute drawing of a chibi Bow waving back her.

Scorpia squealed. “That's so cute???? I didn't know Bow was an artist too! I want to draw with him some time! Oooh, maybe he has Best Friend Squad drawings I could use as reference!!!”

Then suddenly the screen at the side of the room popped on, and Catra saw Hordak's shadow looming large.

“Force Captain”, he growled, “I trust you have delivered my orders on the next shipment?”

Catra and Scorpia bowed. “Yes, Lord Hordak. I'm briefing Princess Entrapta now. We were just facing a minor distraction.”

“What sort of 'distraction'? If there is something interfering with your work, then you must remove it immediately.”

“My letter got published!!” Entrapta replied cheerfully. “I posted an article on irrigation to the Etherian Makers Guild! It was inspired heavily by your work, Hordak!”

Catra slapped both her hands hard against her face. What the hell, Entrapta? Do you want to die?

Hordak grunted and lowered his head. “Very well, I trust we can... discuss your research later. In a way that can benefit the Fright Zone.”

Entrapta smiled and nodded happily.

“If that is all, get back to work. We require seventy five cannon renovations by tomorrow morning.”

Hordak disconnected. Catra stood in place, losing the will to live.

“Fuck it”, she said. “If you all are going to let this place burn this place to the ground, I'm grabbing some snacks. Scorpia, help me get some white ration bars.”

“Roger that!!!”, said Scorpia, picking up a yelping Catra and leaving for the canteen.

Catra and Scorpia came back with a mountain of mixed ration bars and bunked the night in Entrapta's lab while she tinkered with weapons.

Entrapta spent only a few hours actually renovating cannons, because she was planning the next project to send to the Makers' Guild. She was brainstorming a way to make arrows deadlier and more aerodynamic, able to travel further with a heavier load. She added lots of drawings to make her point. Bow probably wouldn't find much of a use for a variant of the “sonic arrow” that was rocket-powered and could travel so fast it broke the sound barrier naturally, but the concept is really cool, isn't it? That's what science is about!

SwRI demonstrating robotics for in-space manufacturing at Space Symposium

Institute builds new Space Robotics Center for in-space servicing, assembly, manufacturing R&D

Southwest Research Institute has invested in new space robotics capabilities to help the space industry pave the way for in-space servicing, assembly and manufacturing (ISAM) capabilities. SwRI’s Intelligent Systems Division will demonstrate new ISAM-focused research at the 38th Space Symposium, April 8-11, in Colorado Springs. Visit SwRI at Booth #237. “SwRI is developing solutions to leverage Earth-based industrial robotics with advanced automation and simulation so we can help clients develop new capabilities for the complex conditions of space,” said Meera Towler, an SwRI engineer who leads SwRI’s Space Robotics initiative. The Space Symposium brings together leaders from around the world to discuss and plan for the future of space. Through ISAM, NASA and others envision a space industry with agile vehicles that will deploy parts and materials into space for robotic manufacturing and assembly. An important enabling step for ISAM includes developing Earth- and lunar-based test beds and even research facilities on the surface of the Moon. SwRI’s space robotics research focuses on high-fidelity simulation, advanced perception, robotic manipulation in space and extraterrestrial automated driving. SwRI’s new Space Robotics Center supports this research with an air-bearing table, motion capture system, a seven degree-of-freedom robot arm, test fixtures and more. Engineers developed software and modeling tools to help robots plan motion for complex, on-orbit conditions. SwRI is also developing efficient low-power vision for lunar rovers or small aerial systems. “We are excited to share these R&D projects with the space community to help bridge the gap between today’s power-hungry, Earth-based industrial robots and the near-future ISAM ecosystem where advanced automation will help build the next generation of space infrastructure,” said Dr. Steve Dellenback, vice president of SwRI’s Intelligent Systems Division.

Space-Based Robot Motion Planning — SwRI used a physics-based simulation tool to develop a robotics simulation package to address challenges associated with object identification, trajectory tracking and dynamic motion planning in space. SwRI will evaluate the simulation models using a robot arm on an air-bearing table in the Space Robotics Center.

Localization for Lunar Rovers — SwRI investigated deploying its Ranger localization system on lunar rovers. Ranger’s ground-facing cameras and automation software successfully guided a rover across simulated regolith.

Camera Vision for Cave Exploration — SwRI used caves as testbeds to evaluate unmanned aerial systems (UAS) for future space applications. New algorithms successfully used stereo cameras to autonomously guide a small UAS.

Stereovision vs Lidar for Off-Road Autonomy— SwRI used a recurrent neural network (RNN) algorithm to estimate vehicle motion from a sequence of camera images, inertial measurements and wheel data for off-road navigation. As an alternative to lidar, the stereovision solution could provide simultaneous localization and mapping for extraterrestrial navigation.

FPGA Computing for Faster Object Detection —SwRI used a space-ready field programmable gate array (FPGA) to accelerate object detection. The solution leveraged an open-source algorithm deployed on a FPGA, which outperformed a commercially available solution and traditional space computers.

RISC-V/ARM for Faster Space Computing— SwRI is evaluating the next generation of fast, reliable microprocessors for embedded spaceflight systems. Some space-ready FPGAs outperformed conventional processors, and an Advanced RISC Machines (ARM) processor outperformed a legacy space processor, using a fraction of the energy.

SwRI’s Intelligent Systems Division is a leader in development of software, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, data analytics and systems engineering solutions.
