Smoking Gun - Entry #3

CW: Violence, Injury, Sleep Deprived MOD w/ Grammarly as Beta Reader

=+=+=+=+=

I shot a kid.

No, not a kid. She's half my age, and I feel horrible. It looked eerily similar to the stranger in the park the other day. Anyway, after I knocked on the door, I heard shouting. On instinct, I seized my shotgun out of my holster and blasted the lock off the door. That was where I went wrong.

On the other side of the door was someone I would soon learn to be called Frost. She sat on the ground, and my slug hit it in the back. I didn't realize I had shot someone until a bit later.

I've been up against many monsters, from hellhounds to those cannibalistic deer-headed monsters. But I was at a loss for words.

8-foot-2 and covered in pitch-black fur, a terror stood in the living room. "GET THE FUCK OUT BEFORE I BLAST YOUR ASS TO KINGDOM COME!" It didn't budge, even when I shot it. It seemed like hours; we stood there, lobbing insults at this thing. At one point, I pitched an open container of salt at it, which did nothing. I even tried jumping on it and stabbing it.

The creature threw me off, and I landed on my arm, hearing a loud pop. DAMMIT! Not again!

It was after a young girl in the group. I watched as she floated in a magical bubble and a state of near death. She almost looked peaceful, like she froze in time. They needed her to wake up. I skimmed around, looking for something that would help us. My eyes had landed on a monumental figure shrouded in white fur. Oh, my Gods. Could it be? I recognized my old friend. I knew it was them. I didn't need to think twice.

DISC0RD had been lying unconscious on the ground, missing both antlers (I later found out Frost had gotten violent and ripped one of them off). Grabbing a flashlight, I tried to wake them up. As the light flickered in its eyes, they groggily turned to me, not recognizing me. "GET IN HER HEAD. WAKE HER UP!" It passed back out, and the room turned hazy. They had projected themself out of their body and onto the plane of dreams, trying to wake the girl up. She still wouldn't budge. DISC0RD jumped back into their body, finally waking up from their unconscious state.

It saw me and knocked me over in an embrace, tight enough to almost crack a few ribs. They sobbed into my shirt, mumbling about something. After a while, it stopped. I can't recall what the smokey monster said, but DISC0RD looked at me, implying they had an idea without saying it. I watched the rabbit-like entity bounce out the front door and make a beeline to Hollow Grove. The next thing I knew, the smoke monster left.

Everything had been fine for a couple of days. DISC0RD came back, beaten and bloodied, allegedly ambushed on the way back by the same spindly fuck that separated us. It came back with new information. Information that caused the girl (who I learned to be called Xia) to become defensive. As if I didn't know enough gods already-

"XIA'S A G0D WH0 C0ULD D3L3T3 TH3 W0RLD AT ANY GIV3N M0M3NT. H3R AND RAV3N AR3 LINK3D THR0GH SM0K3." DISC0RD sat down, holding a spot on its face where blood seeped into its fur. "IT SH0ULDN'T CHANG3 H0W W3 S33 H3R."

I had gone back to Hollow Grove; my boss had called me wanting to meet me in the graveyard tomorrow. My arm was throbbing despite the painkillers…did I thank Frost for popping it back in place?

As the door opened, the smell of lasagna hit me, filling me with nostalgia. Raven apologized for the mess in the tower, but I didn't care. I explained how I needed to be walked to the graveyard in the morning to meet my boss, Bifrons.

"Oh…is he nice?"

"Well…" He did help me hide my kids from a creature almost as bad as Smoke. Which was what I told them. They seemed confused, so I explained what I could.

He shifted, "Oh, yeah, I know about it. Smoke mentioned him."

WHAT?! He explained how, the other night after DISC0RD left, Smoke said something about "something else getting DISC0RD". So, Smoke's working with that spindly fuck?

The next day, he walked me into the forest, and I met with Bifrons. He appeared as he usually did: through a mysterious door. Despite being one of the 72 demons mentioned in the Lesser Key of Solomon, Raven didn't seem startled, especially when he gave Raven a rock (classic Bifrons).

I wasn't prepared for what Bifrons told me. The faceless-fuck found my kids. I don't know how. Bifrons had been hiding them. Jackie had utilized the "Hidden Door" part of the contract with Bifrons, meaning they're hiding in a pocket dimension instead of just hiding in plain sight. So, they're safe, at least.

I had returned to Evan's place. It wasn't until Smoke came back while Xia and HABIT were out, once again demanding the kid. Jester, another who looked familiar, tried to say they were somewhere else. But Observer (Thousand-Eyes, as I've called him) and those fucking eyes gave it away.

As Smoke left the building, we chased him down, with me riding on DISC0RD's back. At the time, it was horrifying, but looking back on it, I can only imagine what it looked like to an outsider. A smokey-deer-looking monster getting chased by a woman riding a bigass rabbit, a guy with hundreds of eyes, a magical puppet guy, and someone with a camera (who I still can't believe I shot-)? I won't lie; I chuckle whenever I think about it.

I grabbed my grimoire and flipped to Bifrons' summoning page, spilling my blood on the ground. Slamming doors echoed through the trees as the sky turned the color of tar as we entered a clearing where HABIT and Xia stood.

A wooden door appeared, flying open. Bifrons stepped out, looking high and mighty, calling Smoke an...old friend? Oh no, please don't tell me-

As the beast turned to smoke and tried to leave, Bifrons lifted his hands, making a swift motion. Water evaporated from the ground and plants around us, forming a dome of holy water over everyone, including Smoke. A few months back, Bifrons mentioned this being the only way he could mess with holy water, even if his hands were stinging, like a severe sunburn. Still, it didn't deter him from his goal.

Smoke became angry, and I felt the air shift.

It contorted, shifting into its physical form and falling to the ground.

"WHATEVER YOU HAVE PLANNED, YOU BETTER HURRY. I CAN'T HOLD THE WATER TOO MUCH LONGER." Bifrons called out.

Observer tackled him, carving something into his body with a knife. Then, Xia went down, calling out in distress. What the hell? Evan broke through HABIT, hovering over Xia. Once the hundred-eyed entity backed off, I grabbed the Hellblade I had been working on. Damn, Hellhounds broke the last one I had. Luckily, Frost gave me the one she broke off of DISC0RD. With the antler weapon in my hand, I charged at Smoke, stabbing it in the torso a few times before falling off the beast and retreating.

"I CAN'T HOLD THE DOME ANY LONGER-" The water started to sprinkle down like rain. Bifrons ran towards Evan and Xia, grabbing them and teleporting away. Bifrons later told me he had gone to heal Xia, but Evan seemed terrified. DISC0RD ran after them, shifting into their goo-pile form and making a protective barrier around the trio, trying to comfort Evan.

But DISC0RD stopped. Frost and Jester had left to go after Raven, meaning if they went after Raven…and Raven and Xia are linked-

Everyone had settled back in the house; Bifrons had left for one reason or another and Observer had pushed himself pretty far. But Jester was acting strange. DISC0RD noticed and began growling. Oh fuck, did Smoke follow us? I stood between Jester and Xia, shielding the girl from him. The hellblade was sitting on the table, with Xia being closest to it.

I wouldn't be able to reach and push anyone away at the same time, "Xia, hand me the blade, you're closest to it." She was too busy talking to Evan, dammit!... Wait-...oh, right. IDOL, Jester's puppeteer, had taken over for a while. Smoke wasn't in Jester. Good...too much was going on, I couldn't think.

The smell of smoke was still strong, I suppose Smoke didn't leave us. Xia had grabbed the blade, keeping it on her for a bit before handing it back to me, not trusting herself with it. DISC0RD had left not too long after to patrol the neighborhood and look after the kids in the area.

The next day...Smoke reappeared.

I tried using Loki or Hermes' phone number to bribe him. Why mess with Xia when he could mess with Loki? Or Hermes? Evan seemed surprised. I was about to explain how I knew their numbers because of my first husband, the twins' dad, but I paused.

They shouldn't know about Abaddon. Not yet, anyway. And if Smoke knew...what if he tried to use it against me?

[awesomeblockchain]

Most devices in the world are connected. You can login to Netflix on your smartphone, watch an episode of The Walking Dead, switch to your smart TV the next day and pick up right where you left off. You might book a flight, check in and store an electronic version of your boarding pass in your mobile wallet which is updated in real-time by the airline to let you know when your gate has been announced (or, more likely, when your flight has been delayed). This past weekend I smugly managed to beat the ten-deep bar queue at my local Wetherspoon by ordering from my table using an app and funds from my PayPal account - a minor victory that exemplifies how digital threads are changing how we operate.

In the context of additive manufacturing (AM), a supposedly smart, automated manufacturing technology, that level of connectivity is not quite there, yet. The design portion is digital, pre-processing software helps translate CAD files to a 3D printing format whilst retaining data. That data is passed on to the machine where the ideal print environment is selected, often without much user interference thanks to intelligent optimised print parameters. Once the print is finished you might perform some form of post-processing task such polishing or grinding but typically, that's where the digital thread ends. As Industry 4.0 promises smart industrial workflows consisting of digital twins, automated factory floors and cloud connectivity, how do we ensure that data-rich digital thread continues throughout the lifecycle of an AM part?

Boston-based 3D printing company, Rize may have a solution. The company launched its Rize One 3D printer back in 2016 offering multi-material printing capabilities for the desktop. At the Additive Manufacturing Users Group conference earlier this year, the company announced it was taking that technology a step further with something called Augmented Polymer Deposition (APD), combining extrusion and material jetting to bridge the virtual and real-world gap.

-The model is in a digital world as it moves from the CAD or design tool into the pre-processing software and then into the machine," Andy Kalambi, President and CEO of Rize Inc. told TCT at the launch. -But the moment the part gets printed on the machine, it's a physical part and there is no more digital element."

The idea is to allow engineers and designers to embed additional functionality into parts to eliminate risk of human error and common problems such as piracy. For example, engineers can use the Rize One's voxel-level capabilities to print a QR code into the part that can be scanned on a smartphone to provide digital information. This could be essential data about the part itself, how to assemble it or maybe even a code to view the part in a virtual reality environment.

-The moment you create a mediation, you are creating a possibility of error or risk. The QR code is just one example that we tried out and it was very successful," Kalambi added. -It enables AM and especially the physical part to be connected into that whole digital work stream which involves CAD, PLM, sometimes even IOT, all of that. It looks simple but it's very profound because it suddenly makes the part come alive."

The overall aim is create an -appliance user experience" which Kalambi likens to the way Uber has changed the way we travel. You're connected to a pool of local drivers with access to their profiles, you know when the car will show up and your receipts are stored handily in an app using a cashless system - the act of taking a taxi hasn't changed but the user experience has. Rize wants to do the same for 3D printing by having all of that information available as part of an inclusive and connected user experience which will ultimately save engineers time and energy when a part lands in their hands.

Founded primarily as a way of securing information for cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology is becoming increasingly relevant to industries and businesses that require protection and security for their digital assets. In a first for AM, LINK3D has introduced the integration of blockchain technology for AM in its flagship SaaS product, Digital Factory.

The AM software solutions company believes the need for file integrity and traceability is a priority for AM processes to ensure that the digital thread continues once a part is either sent from the designer or comes off the print bed.

-3D Printing enables digitisation of manufacturing, which has a lot of benefits," Vishal Singh LINK3D CTO told TCT. -This also introduces the challenges of the digital world, especially: security, IP protection, tampering of parts, and hacking of advanced manufacturing machines. Furthermore, the digital manufacturing supply chain enables on-demand and distributed manufacturing brings together several participating stakeholders. Digitisation creates security challenges, especially with stakeholders, so maintaining a secure and auditable digital thread for the 3D printing workflow is now more critical than ever."

LINK3D proposes the software will be particularly beneficial to service bureaux who will be able to receive orders based on their capabilities and pre-verified orders. Prints can be traced in real-time, logging data from machines which can be stored safely and accessed for traceability checks. Once the part is printed and shipped, the package can also be tracked to ensure it is opened by the intended recipient.

-It can be used for managing recalls and forensics, if something went wrong with some parts, the batch or lot number can be isolated and the root cause can be identified - be it be machine parameters or material details or some other details," Singh continues. -Beyond production, supply chain and logistics aspects also need to be tracked to ensure the parts are delivered to correct destinations in an untampered way."

LINK3D claims blockchain integration can help AM to become more accessible to designers, manufacturers and supply chain representatives as a necessary tool for validation and trust in a decentralised manufacturing ecosystem.

Singh adds: -Unifying the digital thread in 3D printing is a necessity to enable 100% replicability of printed parts."

Over in San Francisco, another software provider Identify3D is working to enable the digital thread by providing security, manufacturing repeatability and traceability throughout the digital manufacturing process.

At RAPID + TCT in April, Identify3D claimed it wants to become -the shipping container for digital manufacturing". What that means is, whilst everyone is familiar with the humble cargo box, unless you packed it or are the recipient, you have no idea what's inside. Identify3D thinks of secure zip files in a similar vain. They can be packed with part and manufacturing information but only users with a specified license will be able to access it.

-Identify3D has developed a software solution that protects engineering and design data using the highest encryption standards and a system of licensing to ensure only authorised parties have access to the data they need to produce parts under specific manufacturing rules," Stephan Thomas, Co-founder & CSO of Identify3D explained. -By enabling a secure digital thread that tracks the design, manufacturing, and deployment of parts along the digital supply chain, Identify3D provides customers with the exact knowledge of how, when, where, and by whom a part has been manufactured."

With its Trace capabilities, Identify3D keeps a log of all information as it moves through the supply chain. Design and engineering data is protected from the get-go and teams can manage who can access their manufacturing files and even how many times. This can provide information such as how the file is to be manufactured and once it becomes a physical entity, can be traced all the way to the end user to ensure IP control and authenticity.

-The digital thread is what connects the flow of data from conception through the production and maintenance of a part. This requires interoperability between the systems that transmit and manage design and manufacturing data, creating huge vulnerabilities for cyberattacks on digital interfaces," Thomas adds. -If the digital thread is not maintained or secured, it will compromise the integrity and traceability of the digital manufacturing flow resulting in increased risk of counterfeit, maliciously modified, poor quality, or uncertified parts from entering the physical supply chain."

Some of the biggest AM players are already on board with the likes of SLM Solutions, Renishaw and EOS partnering with the start-up and more are in development including several pilot deployments with Fortune 500 companies.

For most AM applications, the process does not end as soon as the part comes off the print bed. Parts require an element of post-processing but typically that means the digital link has already been broken when conventional finishing processes come in. AM post-processing solutions provider, PostProcess Technologies is looking to tackle that with its recently launched CONNECT3D software.

-Managing the life-cycle of subtractively manufactured parts is a well-established process. Additive manufactured parts have the opportunity and advantage to do so digitally and end-to-end," Marc Farfaglia, Engineering Manager at PostProcess. "Moving additive manufacturing from prototyping into a production atmosphere requires tried and true management of the entire process ... without it, continuous improvement is a guess and check game, and optimal operational and economic efficiencies cannot be achieved."

Linking this data can be critical to the entire workflow, effecting decisions early in the design process such as part orientation and placement of supports right through to the post-printing step. Building on the company's AUTOMAT3D software which enables intelligent removal of support materials, CONNECT3D is a cloud connected software that addresses the full manufacturing thread from design to post-processing, learning from itself along the way, to deliver more consistent, final parts using smart removal of support material and surface finishing.

The software enables users of PostProcess' hardware to leverage native CAD formats to automatically define the desired algorithms for post-printing in a range of metal and polymer materials.

Farfaglia added: -With the PostProcess CONNECT3D platform, the user can have all of the information carried with the part through the whole AM process through to the final post-print step, so that they can make informed decisions on what processes the part needs to go through to get the final desired end finish to be truly customer-ready."

Modern lives are intertwined by digital threads and whilst that constant exposure to data can have both positive and negative implications, for AM to fulfil its promise as an integral cog in the factories of the future, a strong digital thread will be key to its implementation. It's no longer just about having a machine in place and suddenly you're on the cutting edge. Rather, developments like this where manufacturers are examining the nitty gritty of everything else that happens around the print itself, will help users to get the most out of the technology from that initial idea all the way through to delivery.
