Do the 141 share the same suspicions about android!Ghost as mechanic reader? Or are they oblivious because they don’t know what to look for? (Or maybe Price suspects something while the others don’t.)
There's something different in the way they treat Ghost. You can't put your finger on exactly what it is. They're close to Ghost, extraordinarily so, but most people are when they work with androids for long stretches. Humans tend to personify anything and everything when they're around them long enough. Maybe it's the sort of friendliness? You don't know but it's just different from the way people usually interact with androids.
They treat him like he's human.
You think that's the best way to describe it. You've started cataloguing the androids actions with the rest of the 141. He eats meals with them, exercises with them, Price pulls him aside for briefings, Soap shares jokes, Gaz argues over football. There's a level of comraderie that feels... human. Not just in the way they treat Ghost but in the way he treats them.
You notice things about androids, youre trained to notice every little jerk of a servo, every twitch of a malfunction. These arent malfunctions, these are- are Ghost. He cracks a joke about Price to Gaz and the other man has to hold in his giggles. He steals a chip from Soap's take away and holds onto it like he forgot he can't eat it. He knocks on Price's door with two knuckles, you've never seen an android do that, it's always a full, precise, knock. He stops by your workshop and lingers in the doorway.
It makes you feel watched, androids don't watch, but when you flip up your welding shield he's gone.
You submit the parts request to Price and he signs off on it no questions asked. Anything for Ghost it seems. You're smart enough not to ask. Maybe you should submit all your parts orders with Ghost's ID at the top.
"You broken?" Price asks, hardly looking up from the paperwork on his desk. Ghost says nothing, a questioning silence. Price can almost imagine the slight twitch of his brows, the apathetic turn of his eyes as he blinks waiting on the captain to explain. Price holds up your parts order form for him, "Don't make me ask again."
"Fine. Need a new vertebrae." Ghost tells him. Price sighs and signs the request for, slipping it into the out box.
"Wouldn't that be nice," he grumbles, dragging his fingers through his beard.
"I hear cybernetics these days are good," Ghost hums. Price glares at him.
"That your tight five?"
"Got some military humor too."
"You're hilarious," Price deadpans, going back to his papers, "dismissed-" Ghost turns to leave, "-and quit botherin' the mechanic, bot-docs 're jumpy enough as it is without you stalkin' 'em."

Please help me I am so bad with technology (yes I'm twenty three and am so so bad with technology)
I'm trying to play around with ao3s 'new work' page to get the hang of it, but when I copy and paste Chap 1 into the box, it doesn't keep the formatting at all. I've tried googling, It didn't help ( it could also be my fault, lol).
How do I copy and paste my work I to that box while keeping all my italics and such?! It's over 30k words at this point, and I don't want to do it manually 😳
For context, I'm using a Samsung phone for this, I don't have a laptop. I do have a tablet if that is better. It's also a Samsung. And I've been writing on Google docs (mobile)
Also- follow up question for later: how do I post multiple chapters into one work?

Google Docs, I have such a strong love/hate relationship with you right now.
I love how I am able to use you seamlessly between multiple devices, and that has been your one saving grace at this point. I love the part where you had a saved history section that saved my changes so that if I deleted a section and changed my mind again later, it wasn't lost forever.
I absolutely hate the whole AI scraping bullshit (I hope that lawsuit case that's in the works for not paying the creators of the work you are scraping, wins), and I hate this more recent development of locking some writers out of their work just because they shared with a beta/editor (from my understanding, non-shared work is still 'safe'...for the moment).
So here I am, backing up ALL MY WRITING into LibreOffice. Which of course likes to switch my font (despite the number of times I've switched the default font to match what I was using in Docs), and anything that was in italics or bold, I have to manually go through and re-italicize/bold (guess who likes their italics?).
I HAVE SO MANY DOCUMENTS TO BACK UP (this will take forever)

in @magthemage and I’s Android AU, Risotto Nero is a medical android who has a very rocky (dubious) past and is kinda finding his way as he goes - v much a ‘do what I must to survive’ kind of guy... though he draws a line at senseless loss of ('good’) human life - whether due to his programming or his sentience, is up for debate.
...That’s not to say he hasn’t taken lives before, however...
He’s v likely the reason Miriam (my OC) survives her encounter with EcciDiO (because of his medical capabilities) that led to her meeting Professor Brando and started the events of our shared AU! (the ‘current’ events, anyway) - their meeting was completely by chance but taking a chance on him proved to be the right call, and now he’s in the service of Professor Brando because she encouraged him to pursue his sentience and what he *wanted* to do...
I’ve been having big brain rot about Nero (and how Miriam passed up the chance to date him in the au, smh) BUT one of the perks of being an artist is I can just *make* that content i passed up, and no one can stop me hehe 😏
.
(Mag is actively encouraging it tho so it is supported and not really rebellious lmao)
.
anyway I haven’t drawn him much and wanted to give it another go! medical androids have all kinds of tools hidden just beneath the skin... so I think it goes well with his ‘canon’ version of himself too in that regard hahaha
.
the AU has a lot of canon characters in it, but because of the fact so many androids are ‘model lines’, they may come off as ‘ooc’ to a degree, and that’s intended! i think of it like every android has a little piece of the canon character in them (the multiple Dios being the best example imo), it just varies on their circumstances and experiences!

Team Exec Trio
Sketch commission I got a few months back from NerdyReindeer featuring the primary trio of Team Executive (sans Albert and Roger), being Barb, Doc, and FAVI.
These three in particular have a sort of administrative Team Rocket dynamic, with FAVI as Meowth despite being more of a rabbit than a cat
