Atak na Ledra

Zaatakował policję bo nie chciała go wpuścić na Cypr

Zaatakował policję bo nie chciała go wpuścić na Cypr Turek zaatakował i zranił trzech policjantów na przejściu granicznym przy ulicy Ledra po tym, jak odmówiono mu wjazdu na tereny kontrolowane przez rząd – poinformowała we wtorek policja. Rzecznik policji powiedział Cypryjskiej Agencji Informacyjnej, że po południu mężczyzna próbował przedostać się na drugą stronę z północy, ale zabroniono mu…

absolutely not a dig at anyone since there's no reason why they'd know this but no one has been able to guess that Lemel's go-to nickname is "Mel" instead of "Lem"

and just a little alternate

Cyprus Rotary organised its first non-political Peace Panel

[dragonflight203]

Mass Effect 1 Replay, first part of Feros:

-Logan - A planet with strange disturbances in its cloud. ME1 like mysterious unexplained phenomena, doesn't it? It certainly contributes to the atmosphere of the galaxy being a large and inexplicable, with mysteries to unravel.

-Feros - The atmosphere is supposed to be clogged with dust, but no one is wearing masks. I doubt Exo-Geni provides good health care, so I'm interested to know what everyone's long term plans for their lungs are

-Why is the debris on this planet dozens of meters? Something the Protheans did? The Reapers? Natural disaster?

-Interesting choice to have all the gameplay occur above the clouds. We never get to see the actual planet

-If you go renegade with David al Talaqani, the colonist that greets you, he says "The geth wait for no one". However, the geth wait for him to finish before shooting him. How polite of them.

-Feros certainly enjoys presenting new enemies dramatically. The new geth platforms get a little cutscene introduction, and later the varren alpha will as well.

-As usual, Tali and Liara present a contrast.

Tali comments that the colony is home, and the colonists will fight to the death to defend it.

Liara says that the colonists tried to build a life here, but now all they have are ruins.

So Tali sees a home worth defending even if it's in ruins, but Liara focuses on what the colonists have lost.

-Ledra, the salarian shopkeeper, says that this is not a safe place. Yes, very observant.

Dude has a fantastic sense of humor. Should have been brought back in future games.

-Colonists: The geth fight like fanatics. That can't just be programming, can it?

Foreshadowing! Sorry, Feros, these geth are fighting because their gods told them too.

-Hana, at the freighter controls - The work must be completed. The geth cannot be allowed into the heart of the colony.

Is that her or the Thorian speaking? Does heart of the colony = Thorian nest?

-Calantha, the lady on the bed - Very well done character on Bioware's part. First play through, you probably think she's handling the geth attacks poorly. Later playthroughs, it's clear that it's the Thorian she's struggling to deal with. She even tries to warn you about the Thorian.

-Fai Dan also mentions protecting the heart of the colony when the geth attack. I'm strongly suspecting that's the Thorian speaking.

-Where is the Alliance??? The geth attacked Eden Prime, and the Alliance raised hell. The geth have been attacking Feros for days, and the Alliance is just going to ignore it?

-There's a geth terminal where the geth were being dropped. That must be a common landing point for them. Why can't we hack or destroy the terminal?

-Back to Fai Dan. "There's something tranquil about this place. Unlike anything I've experienced before."

Why do you sound happy about this??? You're infected with Thorian spores! That is not tranquil!

-In fact, most of the colonists seem to genuinely love Feros and want to build a better future. How much of this is genuine, and how much of it is a side effect of the Thorian? We know it causes pain if you resist it - can it cause pleasure if you don't fight it?

-It's brought up a few times that the colonists are searching for artifacts for Exo-Geni, and implied the geth might be after an artifact. Good thought, but not quite.

-Why do all the colonists say to talk to Fai Dan about the colony? He's not resisting much better than the rest of them. Is it just that he's a leader, so everyone's going to field him the hard questions?

-Why does everyone want to avoid the Normany's resource? Not evacuating, I get - the Thorian won't let them. But why turn down food, water, power cells? Are the reasons they give legit or related to the Thorian again?

-Shepard to Macha Doyle: I have to go. Macha Doyle: I wish you luck.

Hah!

-First appearance of the Varren, but they don't stand out much. Just a set of enemies rather easily killed. At least they get a codex entry.

-Ian Newton - Oof. Guy's resisting more than any of the other colonists, but he does come off as just crazy.

-If you go neutral, he warns you about sticking around too long. Points for trying!

-Tali: This one is no longer fit. We should leave him.

Cold, Tali. That's just cold. No offer to help? Nothing about speaking to Fai Dan?

-After fixing the water shortage, Marcha Doyle comments that once the geth are dealt with they can get back to growing the colony.

Again: Are we just going to ignore the Thorian??? Are you saying you want to create more victims of it???

-Once you go down the elevator, Liara and Tali again provide a contrast:

Liara: Even in their ruins, the majesty of the Protheans is evident.

Tali: This city was once a marvel of Prothean Technology. Now it's nothing but a graveyard.

Now it's Liara seeing the beauty, and Tali focusing on what has been lost.

-Why is there a geth hanging out beneath the bridge? Everyone else comes out to attack me, and yet this guy is just chilling? Even when I went under the bridge, he didn't attack me - he kept hiding behind cover, and I had to go up to him.

-It never ceases to amaze me that you can completely skip the second set of survivors. I think one of your companions even encourages you to do so, and get on with the mission instead.

The Princess Royal visits Cyprus

Published 12 January 2023

The Princess Royal has been in Cyprus meeting British Forces Personnel and their families.

The visit started at the Residence of the British High Commissioner, where Her Royal Highness joined a reception for UK/Cyprus relations.

The Princess also had a meeting with the President of Cyprus, Nicos Anastasiades, at the Presidential Palace.

As Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal Logistic Corps, Her Royal Highness then met personnel from the Royal Logistic Corps who are currently serving with the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP), which is known as Operation TOSCA.

The Royal Logistic Corps (RLC) provides logistic support functions to the British Army and are currently on a six-month UN tour of duty and are responsible for maintaining the integrity of the Buffer Zone in Cyprus.

During the visit, The Princess was able to view different areas of the Buffer Zone and Nicosia, including the Ledra Palace Hotel and the abandoned Nicosia International Airport.

There was also the opportunity to visit Wayne’s Keep Military Cemetery in Nicosia, where there was a short Service of Remembrance and Wreath Laying Ceremony.

Managed by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC), the cemetery contains the graves over 600 British military personnel.

Her Royal Highness later opened Queen Berengaria Military School on the Eastern Sovereign Base Area – a newly built school which serves the British military communities from Dhekelia and Ayios Nikolaos.

LATE CHARACTER ASKS (if you still want to do them)

1, 4, 6, 7, 12, 31 37? for your guys (you do not have to do all of them)

(jackdaw)

Hi Jack! Thank you!

1. Does your character have siblings or family members in their age group? Which one are they closest with?

Lemel is the middle child with an older sister Ledra and younger brother Leka. They and Leka have always been thick as thieves and he was the most fucked up about them leaving.

Tevane has one younger brother, Rayner, and several people at this point know the nature of how fucking bad that relationship is. Tevane basically hates his whole family equally lmfaoo though has by far the most complicated relationship with his mother.

4. Has your character ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? If so, does anyone else know?

Hidden lore, Lemel has looked at their alternate timelines the same way they showed Tevane his alternates and has seen the path where they decided not to run. They didn't have to fully separate from their family but essentially had to live a scrutinized life under watch of Federation law. They feel justified in their choices, despite the pain it caused.

Tevane was fundamentally changed by Snatcher loving Hat Kid so much that he was willing to start an intergalactic war for her. This idea of loving recklessly.

These are things they probably have only ever talked about with each other, quietly, in those 2am deep conversation moments.

6. Does your character have recurring themes in their dreams?

I don't really think about their dreams very much. Being that they're both adults they both probably have recurring stress dreams like Lemel would be shit like their gloves malfunctioning at inopportune moments in illogical ways and Tevane tends more to freak out mid-dream that he's actually falling asleep irl in an important meeting and everybody is cringing at him and he wakes himself up in a jolt. He doesn't sleep great.

7. Does your character have recurring themes in their nightmares?

Lemel sometimes has dreams where their family meets them again but is angry at them for leaving. Later, they dream about getting stuck in the time stream. I don't know if Tevane has recurring nightmares. I'm sure he has nightmares, I just haven't considered a recurring theme for them.

12. In what situation was your character the most calm they’ve ever been?

For Lemel, it's probably after they come out as aroace to Tevane, sometime shortly after the events of catching icarus, and realize he still fully intends to stick around.

For Tevane, similarly, it's the night after Lemel defends him from Snatcher and Moonjumper, and he realizes he doesn't have to have his shit together with them because they'll have his back if he falls apart.

31. Describe a scenario in which your character feels most comfortable.

Lemel likes slumber party vibes where everyone is piled on top of each other in a dark room and there's junk food and quiet giggling and some dumb show no one is paying attention to.

Tevane feels most comfortable in quiet, sunny mornings while making breakfast. And of course, they both like their quiet evenings spent hanging out together.

37. Is your character more concerned with defending their honor, or protecting their status?

Defending honor for both of them. Tevane maybe seemed like a protector of status while working but that didn't really match up with his actual values.

literally had to force them to hold position and take on the creepers by myself bc they fucking hated ledra and kept trying to kill him for some reason HDJDHDJ
