your most recent fic has me rolling over this TFA concept where like. OP thinks of himself as very plain and unremarkable (even though we, the audience, have eyes and can clearly see he’s hotter than 90% of cybertron’s population) whereas Meg takes one look at him and is like “you look like a fucking blow-up doll. what the fuck. I’m almost offended the autobots would devise such a blatant attempt to seduce me”

AAA thank you so much for reading and enjoying Megatron's Espionage Kink!! I know it's a theory/hc that relies on either 1) oppy not knowing what a mirror is 2) autobots having diabolical standards of conventional attractiveness, but I love the idea of oppy just. not knowing he's a complete and total bombshell. he's basically identical to any other normal Autobot that rolled off the assembly line, sure even fellow autobots joke about his lips a lot, but they're just fucking around and teasing him surely!

But megatron has Optics and he uses them to fully drink in this visage of pure seduction that would only be written about in the most indulgent filthy smutpads, look at his WAIST?! THOSE LEGS?! HIS PLUSH LIPS MADE FOR ORAL?? and though megatron usually jeers at the bright and clashing colors of autobots, he's got to admit the red and blue and silver (and that sinful yellow on his pelvic plating/helm/etc). (I just looked at a pic of cybertronian oppy again and like HIS HIPS HAVE HANDLES??? I've seen amazing posts about TFA meg assuming he stumbled onto a bang bus when he crashed the autobot ship, cause of how sexy the autobots on board are, and this is exactly what makes it so believable)

But like I was saying I really do love meg assuming oppy Was Made To Distract/Placate Him because how else could a bot perfectly to his tastes be travelling around the galaxy? If he wasn't sent to seduce megatron, this walking talking (and fighting, those sleazy autobots really put effort into making this bot appeal) blowup doll would be in the most elite brothel on cybertron.

And I think "canon" tfa meg is too busy trying to retake cybertron and destroy the autobots to stop his evildoing to play with an Autobot, even if they are the hottest bot he's ever laid eyes upon, but I love to imagine that "what if?" what if meg Did pull out the stops to launch a counter-assault (seduce oppy and fuck him stupid).

(bonus semi-relevant shitpost copy pasted from my tf doc under the cut)

Megatron does NOT want to fuck Optimus Prime. It does not matter that this autobot was clearly designed upon Orion Pax, aka the civilian that Megatron has always found most aesthetically pleasing. However, even Orion was a rather conservatively designed bot. Optimus Prime has a large chest and tiny waist and strong arms and long legs and full kissable lips. All of these are further insults, so clearly designed for interface appeal that Megatron must turn his nose up for the sake of his pride. "Do they all think I have no self control? Is this Autobot some sort of peace offering or an attempt to distract me from retaking Cybertron?"

So yes. On some level, Megatron wants to frag that little autobot until he breaks. Fuck the bolts right off his hips. Turn him into a quivering fluid-drenched pile of loosely assembled truck parts. But he is wise and old enough to know that giving in would be a trap, an elaborate trap designed by Autobots who have finally realized that no tactic is too dirty, even if the prudes have to face the unspeakable horror of acknowledging Interfacing Exists.

Whether this is true or not doesn't matter. The f***toy look could simply be what's "in" for Autobots. Look at Bee and Bulkhead & Sentinel and Elita-1.

Optimus has no idea about Megatron's cute little theory and would strip him down for spare parts starting with his spike if he was ever to voice it to him. It would get Optimus charged up, Megatron admitting he considers Optimus so attractive that it must be an autobot plot, but he can and will ignore that too.

Because Optimus Prime does NOT want to fuck Megatron either. This is just Primus's way of punishing him for harmless private 'facing fantasies half a million years ago. It's a bit overboard as a punishment, however. Optimus wasn't even thinking about that stupid giant ancient evil leader of the Decepticons, just imagining a generic "kind of sweet and romantic in a brusque war frame way" faceless Decepticon soldier above him. Megatron? For all his great manipulation skills and that platinum glossa, the mech couldn't charm the panel off a desperate and overcharged speedster in heat.

There is No romance in the giant servos that almost choked Optimus offline and held him around the waist with ease and wrapped him up in his own grapplers. And those tastes of brutality and being overpowered do NOT excite Optimus even more.

OOOO OP DROP RICK AND MORTY OCS

OH BOY HERE WE GO.

so, I made these cute ref sheets in the shows style yesterday (and today), apologies if you cant decipher my scribbly handwriting, ill summarize below:

Rick (nicknamed on the citadel "Seven")

Rick's home dimension is M-121.5 but you could hardly call it a home. He left his Diane and Beth behind shortly after acquiring portal technology from Prime or one of his subordinate Ricks, wandering off to absorb himself in the vastness of infinity.

His original dimension never ended up birthing a Morty, since his Beth and Jerry had trouble supporting themselves and had Summer as their only child.

Rick, eventually growing lonely but refusing to admit it, joins the citadel in an effort to be useful and climb the ranks there with the hopes of living a fulfilling life in a safe, Rick-made bubble. He gets assigned a Morty as standard, but said Morty dies in combat on a riot not too shortly after.

Rick gets a (small) punishment, one you'd get for breaking a doorknob or forgetting to turn off the lights in the building before you leave; getting a Morty killed. He probably just has to scrub toilets for a week or something.

He gets his new Morty and resumes work on the teleportation deck as normal and lives with his Morty in a small apartment, until S301 where they manage to flee the citadel together.

Morty ("unlucky charm" / other similar insults behind his back)

Has forgotten his original dimensional code due to constant changes of ownership. Only the Morty databanks know it now. He took M-121.5's dimension as his and carries a small wristband with the code written on it.

This Morty has gone through a LOT of Ricks. Six in fact, which is why his new Rick is mockingly called "Seven" by others on the citadel, making fun of him for ending up with such a shitty excuse of a Morty. Asking him if he'd lost a bet.

Morty's left arm has been surgically altered to fit a tracker interface that'll show Rick's current position and vitals to Morty. Though he only gets this later, after they flee the citadel.

The jacket he is wearing was originally merchandise stolen from a small shop he worked in while living on the citadel. They later add patches to it in an effort to cover up the citadel logo, since Morty doesn't want to give up the jacket, and Rick is paranoid about association with the citadel after they've fled. Pretty rich coming from the guy still wearing his uniform under a stinky coat, but what can you do when those are the only clothes you've got.

They go through an intense period of struggling for survival, with the Federation collapse and chaos left behind, the two of them retreat to more desolate spots of the universe to wait for the dust to settle. After a bit of "holy shit we lived" euphoria, they fight a lot, with Rick slowly noticing the many flaws in this Morty he is now -- in his assumption -- forever stuck with. He also pushes Morty too far numerous times but reels him back in again anytime because what other option is there? Being stranded alone in an asteroid gas station restaurant?

Eventually Morty suggests returning to "their" home dimension. Rick's home dimension. He's reluctant but eventually (after a really long while and lots of convincing) does give in since their circumstances are dire and they could use a little civilization, even if it means returning to the family he abandoned.

I don't have much worked out for this Smith family, but I'd assume Summer is a good deal different from the Summer we know, due to being an only child. Beth's daddy issues are just as intense as Beth Prime.

This Beth and Jerry probably also never end up divorced and stay together for Summer's sake, honestly probably unhealthier than just splitting up for the time being and working out their issues separately.

Once they crash (probably literally) into their new "home" and everybody gets over the initial insanity of the situation, Rick struggles to confront the reasons he left and kind of just drowns himself in unhealthy habits. Besides the known drinking issues which is kind of the baseline, he makes sure to never let Morty out of his sight and pretty much makes a normal life for the kid impossible despite desperately promising it to him when they turned to move to Earth.

He builds a new portal gun out of scrap they've harvested while surviving and old things Beth never threw away because they reminded her of her father, and he's gone again. Gone with Morty. Gone God knows where. Except he returns at night to sleep in a shitty little cot and fuck he probably drags Morty's air mattress into his room with him without any explanation. Blames it on Morty not being able to sleep alone since they left the citadel. Blames it on anything but himself.

They go into what I'd describe as a narcissism-fuelled grace period, or honeymoon period, the more time they spend together off-planet after crashing at the Smith's house.

They go from Rick being very controlling and making Morty feel like an inferior sidekick, to Rick actually opening up and helping him become better. Very slowly and gradually, he realizes that, well, he's stuck with this Morty now. This is *his* Morty by all intents and purposes, and he doesnt have a fuckin replacement Morty ticket and after constructing and unregistered portal gun he'd not be let back into the citadel anyway even after reconstruction - so might as well invest his time and effort into this one Morty as much as he (claims to) hate it.

The kid is so broken already, having witnessed so many versions of his grandpa die, which Rick realizes after a while would just make it easier for him to reassemble him anew and mold him how he wants it. He's a sick bastard but if it aint broke dont fix it and especially dont fix it if it promises to always stay by your side and begs you not to leave

The whole "unlucky charm" curse only serves to fuel Rick's ego too because, unlike all these previous Ricks he only knows about on paper, *he* hasn't died yet with this shitty excuse of a Morty around him. which makes him better than all those before him. He's cocky, priding himself on living where those Ricks failed.

He gets too confident, as all Ricks do, and after a few too-close brushes with death he does decide to invest into various failsafes and "upgrading" Morty to a standard he sees fit. This is when Morty gets the tracker arm enhancement and various other augmentations that'll essentially turn him into a lifeline for Rick. He's driven by anxiety of his past mistakes, past deaths of Ricks, repeating. This time there'd be no scolding by teachers and new Rick two weeks later. There'd only be grief, and nothing.

Morty's trained not only in combat and survival skills but also shown how to reboot and even replace certain cybernetic parts of Rick's body.

surgery, baby!

Not on a clone, not a simulation, the real him. Train for the real deal.

They spend weeks in the newly constructed underground labs, Morty cutting him open and putting him back together; surgeries upon surgeries without any anesthetic so that Rick is fully aware and awake to guide Morty through it.

Eventually Morty does have to put those skills to the test when shit goes wrong on an adventure, but this is already so long so I'll spare you!! I'd be surprised if you read to here, if you did, thank you and I'm glad you're interested in my little guys !!

The Bodyguard AU 😌

((Your love for Tevos is showing again, friend. 😏 I gotchu though! I think you wanted three prompts from this if I recall correctly, so I hope you like these!))

Pairing: Rajhi Shepard/Councilor Tevos

Rating: General

AU: Wanna Be On Your Mind (formerly titled the Bodyguard AU)

---

"Who the fuck taught Sparatus how to do air quotes?!" Shepard crossed her arms with a scowl. "I swear, I'm going to break his fingers if he does that to me again!"

Tevos didn't even bother to look up from where she was perusing through various documents on her desk. "Please don't," she deadpanned even though she was all too aware her request was likely to be ignored with as incensed as the human woman currently was. Her point was further proven when Shepard continued on her with tirade without so much as missing a beat.

"Was it his secretary?! I bet it was his secretary!" Shepard began pacing along the length of her office--agitation evident in every movement--while voicing her thoughts aloud. "I see the way he leers at her!"

"Shepard--"

"'Interest in strengthening alliances with the newest members of the galactic community' my ass! They're fucking, Tevos! I just know it! I'd bet my entire salary on it!"

Tevos gave a long-suffering sigh as she pressed her fingers against her temples. "Considering I'm currently paying for your salary, one would think you would act with a bit of decorum."

"Look, outside of your office, I will act as damn professional as you want me to be. There's a reason why I had Miranda put that 'satisfaction guaranteed with services' clause in the contract with our clients." The woman pointed down repeatedly at the floor. "When we're alone though? I want the option to at least vent. If not, that's fine. I can always have Kaidan or Jacob stand in for me if you'd like."

It was likely the wiser option, Tevos knew.

She had met both men often enough to know they were utterly consummate in the duties expected of them. Tevos had employed enough bodyguards in her lifetime to know that they more than met the standards of such an intense industry. Still, there was something... refreshing about Shepard's personality in particular--one that was a powerful and bold as the former Special Ops commander of the Alliance.

And for as wild and spirited as Shepard could be, Tevos could admit the woman would never intentionally jeopardize her position as the asari councilor. Shepard was always the epitome of professional competence even among the most high-profile members in the galaxy.

Her connection to those very same individuals aside, she was everything one could ask for in a bodyguard.

Even Tevos could admit that.

Surely, she could forgive a few eccentricities in these private moments if it meant retaining the part of their relationship that she had come to appreciate. She tilted her head as she turned to consider Shepard more thoughtfully then. She couldn't help the soft smile that danced upon her lips.

"That won't be necess--"

"Councilor?"

Both she and Shepard turned to stare at the intercom at her desk. Tevos immediately recognized the voice of her secretary. She leaned forward to tap at the haptic interface.

"Yes, Esila?"

"The turian councilor is here to see you. He mentioned wanting to discuss some of the upcoming proposals for the Council." There was a pause. "Oh, and it seems he's bringing along his secretary. Would you like me to update the lunch order from your favorite restaurant?"

Tevos didn't at all miss the way Shepard immediately perked up with great interest at the mention of Sparatus' secretary accompanying him.

A dog with the proverbial bone as it were if she were to borrow the human idiom...

"That would be lovely, Esila. You can send them both in. Please do tell me when lunch is delivered."

"Of course."

Tevos ensured she had the intercom turned off before she turned to Shepard with a pointed stare. The woman responded by giving her the most winsome smile, but Tevos knew not to fall for it. "And you... behave."

---

"Miss Lawson's calm conduct in all matters is highly regarded by my colleagues."

"Oh, Miranda?" Shepard chuckled as she wandered over to her desk with their lunch. "Yeah, she's probably one of the smartest people I know. She's got a doctorate or two in fields that I probably couldn't even begin to understand. Don't ask me how she managed to do that between the type of work we do. I just chalk it up to being a Miranda thing at this point." She grinned. "I'm sure the Alliance Admiralty Board is still frothing at the mouth that I managed to steal her away from them when I left. Sorry about the wait with the food by the way. You wouldn't believe how long the line was for these."

Tevos was pleased when Shepard was mindful of placing coasters beneath their respective drinks. Tevos wasn't fond of the marks that were often left behind on the glass surface due to condensation. As she gazed down at the colorful beverages, she realized that the woman had ventured out to one of the Asian restaurants that recently received a boom in popularity thanks to having the asari councilor's personal bodyguard as a frequent visitor.

The drinks were something of a new, but well-appreciated, novelty on the Presidium for the small spheres nestled at the bottom of the cup. They were either made using traditional tapioca, which Shepard preferred because of the chew, or Tevos' favorite of the tropical fruit-filled balls that popped almost instantly on meeting her tongue.

"No need to concern yourself," she answered, smiling gratefully when Shepard handed her an oblong-shaped sandwich. She could smell the sweet, grilled meat almost instantly. Despite her focus toward finishing her remaining work, she couldn't help the way her mouth watered, reminding her she hadn't eaten since early that morning. "Did she hold a similar position to yours when she was in the Alliance?" Tevos wouldn't have been surprised if she had.

"No actually." Shepard wasted little time into tucking into her banh mi. Apparently, the woman's hunger had been greater than her own, for Tevos couldn't help but raise her tattooed brows at the large bite that had been taken. Shepard hummed appreciatively at the taste, finishing chewing before continuing with, "She held the same Lieutenant rank Kaidan had before we left. I honestly thought she'd make Captain before he and I ever did, but if you were to ask Miranda, she'd say something along the lines of her being tired of the bureaucracy."

"Hm. I'm sure with her resume she could have gone anywhere she desired."

"That's what I told her!" Shepard laughed. "I guess for her, working private security wasn't too far different from what we used to do." She shrugged. "The pay's better at least, considering the type of clientele we have. I don't think she's going to complain about being able to pay for the entirety of her sister's university funds without even having to bat an eye." The woman picked up her drink then--a coffee variant from what Tevos could tell of the color--to sample it and the tapioca balls, chewing carefully on the latter. "I appreciate that she was even willing to follow me on this little venture. It was admittedly a bit of a gamble when we first left the Alliance."

"I'm sure anyone would be lucky to have a second-in-command as level-headed and skilled as Miss Lawson."

"Oh, definitely. I'd probably forget that my head was on my shoulders half the time if it weren't for her. She's better at the business side of things than I am. Honestly, she has the patience of a saint, which says a lot, considering Jack and I normally--"

"Shepard!"

And Tevos blinked when Shepard jerked in place at the call of her name by the very woman they'd been discussing. From the volume, Tevos wagered that Miss Lawson was somewhere outside her office.

"Shepard! Why the bloody hell did Kasumi find surveillance footage of you and Officer Vakarian shooting drink canisters off the highest point of the Presidium?!"

"Oh, goddamn Kasumi and her hacking abilities..." Shepard muttered balefully. Still, she wasted little time in gathering her half of her lunch in her hands before throwing a grin Tevos' way. "Uh, I'll text Ash and tell her to take over guard duty for me for the next few hours. I should hopefully see you again during dinner if--"

"Shepard!"

The woman's smile only widened at the shout even if Tevos could see how those golden-colored eyes tightened at their corners with sudden nervousness.

"Excuse me. I have to go hide now."

---

"Whoa, what? Wait, wait, wait! You can't just leave me here with them!" she whispered frantically.

"Shepard, I haven't visited Thessia for the better part of a decade. I'm expected to at least talk to some of the politicians here during my stay. Surely, you can manage a half hour on your own while I do so."

In response, the woman inhaled deeply before placing both of her palms together, reminiscent of a prayer position. Then, she slowly raised her hands up to press the sides of her index fingers against her own lips.

"Tevos, I really don't think you realize just how repressed some of your colleagues are..." she murmured, dark brows raising as she widened her eyes pointedly.

Tevos sighed even as she was unable to stop the wave of fondness that washed over her amidst her exasperation. "Shepard..."

"They are!" she countered in a harsh whisper before flickering her gaze over Tevos' head inconspicuously.

Well, as inconspicuously as she could anyway.

The human stood head and shoulders above most of the asari in attendance.

"Look, remember how long it took for the people on the Presidium to get over their fascination with me when I first took this job? There's a reason why I didn't bother wearing a sari to this thing. I learned from last time! Everyone kept wanting to touch my arms!"

Tevos blinked before turning to eye her bodyguard's current attire. While she had been curious about the change, she hadn't bothered to question the reasons as to why. Shepard certainly didn't do the dark, three-piece suit a disservice. Still, while it was remarkably well-tailored, it did nothing to hide Shepard's impressive physique.

Considering the asari were a communal species, it wasn't odd for them to be rather casual around one another, but such conduct was typically reserved between close friends and family members. While she knew some of the maidens upon the Presidium could be forward with their curiosity, she had assumed her colleagues would have shown the proper level of etiquette to a foreign visitor in their midst--even for someone as unique as Shepard.

That apparently hadn't been the cause.

Tevos would be in Armali for the next month or so on business. Perhaps she could forego work for at least one night, especially since Shepard seemed so uncomfortable.

...She did, however, make a mental note to watch whomever had caused her bodyguard such discomfort.

Tevos held her hand out then in request for Shepard's own. "Would you dance with me?"

Shepard blinked, taken aback by the request, especially since it wasn't part of their typical routine. "Um, sure. If you really want to."

"Well, it serves two purposes," she admitted with a laugh even as Shepard took the lead. For someone as large and imposing as her, she was remarkably light on her feet. "You wouldn't be left on your own, and it would be easier to dance our way toward the exit than manage through the crowd here. I can announce our farewells, and we can depart for the rest of the evening."

"Oh? Oh!" Shepard grinned then. "That's pretty smart of you."

Tevos huffed out a small laugh. "I do try although I'm sure my mother might be somewhat disappointed that I'm not making more contacts tonight."

"I doubt it. Matriarch Osiria's been more interested in what you get up to during your day to day schedule than anything business-related."

Tevos' brows furrowed at the claim. "I... didn't realize you had become that familiar with one another."

"Oh, well you know that I like waking up early. She's normally down in the kitchen when I make my protein shake, and she likes talking with me."

"About what exactly?"

"Random things honestly although we had a pretty interesting talk this morning."

"Oh?" Tevos could feel a certain sense of wariness settling over her. "Should I be concerned with this topic of conversation? Do I even wish to know what you spoke to her about?"

"Well..." Her gaze turned toward the high domed ceiling in thought. "I'm not entirely sure if my translator glitched out when she asked, but she seemed interested in my pedigree?" She shrugged. "And then she went on to ask about when you would be giving her grandchildren,” she answered, snickering, especially when Tevos stiffened in her arms, almost missing a step. “She mentioned something along the lines of waiting centuries and there still not being a single toddler in sight. Although honestly? I think she only added that last bit to earn some sympathy from me. Apparently, my being around you all the time makes her assume I have better insight into your love life.”

Character Bio of the Asian Pasifika demigod and Afro Latine Native alien hybrid main character Part 17

Advanced Next Gen Mecha suit. 

Helios, Prometheus, or Oceanus a cardinal, gold, silver, & obsidian advanced next gen series mech suit series. A mecha is a robotic machine, which can vary widely in size, configuration, and purpose. Mecha are usually vehicles controlled from an onboard cockpit by a single, two, or three pilots. The mecha is repaired, customized, & upgraded by a small to large crew of engineers, scientists, & inventors. 

The mecha is controlled internally by aircraft or spacecraft pilot controls, voice commands, motion capture, thoughts and emotions with synchronization from the pilot, and with several dumb and simple AI and a few advanced and complex AI assistance from inside the cockpit of the mecha. Mecha cockpits have a single pilot, two pilots, three pilots, or even four pilots depending on the mecha make, model, & series. These mecha are piloted by one pilot. 

Sometimes it has a pilot mode that includes a comfortable leather space fighter or aircraft fighter jet piloting seat and space fighter or aircraft fighter jet controls for piloting. For this mode it can have two pilots controlling the mecha suit. These are liked by former space navy or space force pilots. 

These pilots enter the mecha while on base or on a spacecraft or capital ship by an elevator or escalator that takes them to a raised platform that is level with the cockpit of the mecha. The pilot then steps into the mecha suit which closes its hatch behind them. The pilot can also enter the mecha if the mecha is already on sight on the battlefield by parachuting into the mecha after a Halo jump or orbital drop insertion. They can also enter the mecha suit by having the onboard ai of the mecha control it and lower its hand to them so they can climb on and climb inside the mecha suit. If the mecha suit is in space they can enter the mecha while in EVA zero gravity by using a jetpack to fly to the mecha cockpit. 

Metahuman and superhuman super soldier pilots can perfectly assimilate and synchronize with the mecha suit. The mecha works in tandem with their superhuman and metahuman abilities and physiology. By taking advantage of their super soldier training and powered armored super soldier skills. The mecha suit can enter assimilation or synchronization battle mode with the super soldier pilot for several hours without drawbacks or recoil damage to the pilot. 

The mecha is mainly piloted by tracking movements made by the user's body. The pilot when flying the mecha uses a tech suit or body suit. This suit synchronizes and interfaces between the pilot and the mecha. It utilizes a spacious spherical cockpit for full body movement. Made especially for black ops and spec ops super soldiers. It takes full advantage of the abilities of demigod metahumans and superhuman alien hybrids. Pilots essentially become at one with the unit. Acting as the avatar for the mecha's actions and the receptor of any activity to the mecha in return. The pilot also wears a helmet that interfaces and synchronizes their thoughts and emotions with the mecha. Allowing them to command the mecha by their voice as well as conscious and unconscious thoughts and emotions. This is assisted by dumb simple AIs (who are complex and smart by regular human and alien standards) and smart advanced AIs who improve the super soldier pilots' already superhuman abilities and piloting.

Has naturally enhanced and artificially enhanced abilities. Their body and mind reacts on a superhuman level when piloting. This increases their natural skill and control when piloting. The main character can also pilot the mecha by hacking into the human and alien technologies itself with their technopathy as a cyborg/bionic. The mecha is only accessible by the pilot using a fingerprint, eye, & dna biometric scanner. In the event of capture by the enemy it has a self destruct sequence that has the destruction of a high yield nuclear weapon. It overloads the nuclear fusion reactor core. 

The mecha is personalized with red, black, white, blue, & green alien and human emblems, decals, & symbols on its face, neck, chest, back, arms, elbows, hands, legs, & knees. The mecha is also decorated with alien and human characters and calligraphy. 

Has high firepower. Is heavily armed. Is heavily armored. Has high maneuverability. Has high accuracy. Is highly customized and upgraded. Is regularly repaired, maintained, & updated by a crew of mechanics, scientists, engineers, & inventors. It has a clean, polished, & new paint look maintained by artists. Its symmetry positively affects its balance and makes it easy to control. Its performance is enhanced with their superior piloting skills.

It flies using spacecraft and aircraft rocket thrusters on its back, arms, legs, & feet. The mecha also flies though a pair of robotic wings and a pair of hard light wings built onto the shoulders of the mecha. It glides and hovers using rocket thrusters on its arms, hands, elbows, knees, legs, ankles, & feet of the mecha. It swims using turbines on its chest, back, arms, hands, legs, ankles, & feet. It has a cooling and ventilation system using space craft turbines, aircraft vents, & a liquid nitrogen cooling system to cool and ventilate the mecha to prevent overheating when using rocket thrusters or when using the mechas immense firepower. 

They are trained as mech pilots using mock duels, VR simulations, combat drills, combat simulations, physical training, & piloting exercises similar to power armor and spacecraft training. They are also trained using augmented reality using mecha figurines and miniatures as personal avatars. As a mecha operator and pilot they employ advanced knowledge and natural skill. 

He/she/they the Asian Pasifika demigod and Afro Latine Native alien hybrid main character since they were a child played with miniatures of powered armored soldiers and models of mecha suits based on media of their world. This was given to them by their geeky mother. This was given to them by their nerdy father. They would use these as avatars in virtual reality and augmented reality simulations to play in championship games, competitions, and contests as a video game streamer against other children, preteens, teenagers, and young adults in next gen console holographic 4d games which was ironic considering their future as super soldiers in powered armor and mechas themselves.

It is powered by nuclear fusion reactors. The main bigger fusion reactors are found in the chest and back of the mech suit. The secondary smaller fusion reactors are found in the head, neck, arms, and legs of the mecha. It is powered by lunar rays, cosmic energy, magical energy, natural energy, spiritual energy, zero point energy, & nuclear power. It can be recharged by steam power, water, wind power, solar radiation, & electric power. 

The mecha is armed with anti capital ship weapons such as a gravity gun, a sonic cannon, a positron cannon, a rail gun, a electromagnetic mass accelerator cannon, a antimatter weapon, a mass driver cannon, an ion cannon, a particle beam cannon, & a zero point energy cannon capable of obliterating entire space fleets at maximum output for primary weapons. Each of them are quadruple, triple, or double barreled to reduce and spread out the stress caused by the powerful shot outputs. Has two charging barrels that can be attached to the single, double, triple, or quadruple barrels of the mecha cannons and amplify its power.

Primary weapons with enhanced output. They are big enough to be held by mecha units. They are powerful enough to destroy squadrons of mech units at low output to even fleets of spaceships and capital ships at full power maximum output. The mecha rifles have the ability to adjust the weapon output. At high output, beams are emitted from each barrel to form powerful blasts. Capable of single shot, three round burst, or full auto when firing. The mecha weapons have an excellent rate of fire and a variable output. At low power it can destroy a few mecha suits. Which at maximum power rivals or even exceeds the firepower of capital ships such as a dreadnought, battleship, a battle cruiser, or flagship combined. The interior of the barrels contains alien and human metal parts for superior durability. It is made to withstand the high output of the hand held super weapon.

Their mechas main battle tactic is to destroy enemies from afar with its heavy firepower which has been pushed to the limit. It specializes in close ranged, medium ranged, & long range combat. The cannons have a relatively fast cool down time in between shots. This allows for shots to be fired within seconds or minutes depending on weapon mode. Puts an emphasis in precise targeting in long range combat. Can use frontal assaults that would make full use of their mechas imposing firepower in combat.

It is armed with secondary weaponry. It is armed with laser, energy, plasma, ballistic, & hard light mounted 50 caliber anti tank heavy machine guns in the shoulders of the mecha. It is armed with laser, energy, plasma, ballistic, & hard light anti tank quadruple barrel Gatling Guns on the neck of the mecha. It is armed with anti personnel heavy flame throwers. It is armed with anti personnel light and medium machine guns in the head of the mecha. It is armed with laser, energy, plasma, ballistic, & hard light 40 mm mounted anti aircraft rocket and grenade launchers built into the chest of the mecha. It is armed with laser, energy, plasma, ballistic, & hard light mounted anti spacecraft missile silos built into the chest of the mecha. It is armed with a back mounted ballistic, hard light, & plasma anti spacecraft artillery cannon that fires space navy fleet artillery barrages. 

It is armed with two giant handed hard light beam swords, axes, spears, sledgehammers, etc as melee weapons as primary melee weapons. It is armed with giant plasma beam short swords, short axes, plasma warhammers, plasma tonfas, escrima sticks, & plasma knives as secondary weapons. For close ranged combat they also use the speed and maneuverability of their suit.

It is protected by laser, energy, plasma, & hard light shields and force fields. It is protected by ballistic armored plates. It is protected by a ballistic and hard light war door shield mounted on the left arm of the mecha. This protects the mecha while the mecha is aiming with their handheld primary weapon. It also protects the mecha from enemy mech firepower or handheld ranged weaponry or melee close combat weapons. 

Mechs are designed by teams of R&D scientists. Mech pilots pilot mecha suits. These mech suit pilots are assisted by teams of mechanics. It is customized, upgraded, repaired, & tested by teams of scientists, inventors, & engineers. It is designed for terrestrial, aquatic, aerial, & space combat. It was designed for combat in arctic, desert, jungle, swamp, or forest terrains. Uses active sonar, a motion sensor, gps system, & radar.

They have Zeus, Jupiter, & Odin series mech suits that they personally call Helios, Prometheus, and Oceanus. It is 200 meters tall. It weighs 80,000 tons. The mecha suit is launched out of a hanger or shuttle bay or spacecraft or capital ships using a catapult deck. The mecha can also enter the battlefield by exiting the cargo door of a space shuttle. It can also be launched using a catapult deck of a spacecraft carrier. While piloting the mecha pilot is wearing a tech suit and a flight helmet and is protected by combat armor and a combat helmet. 

The pilot is armed with an hard light assault rifle, a hard light sniper rifle, a hard light combat shotgun, a plasma light machine gun, a plasma submachine gun, & a plasma pistol for emergencies. They are also armed with a hard light sword and plasma combat knife for emergencies. 

In emergencies the cockpit is capable of separating from the mecha and turning into a small space fighter for emergency combat and escaping danger. The space fighter is armed with plasma torpedoes and hard light machine guns for protection. In the event of emergencies the pilot is also able to escape by ejecting using the mecha piloting seat and using a parachute. 

Mechs are part of an arms race between factions, countries, world governments, alliances, empires, planets, & intergalactic governments. There is mech on mech warfare. Mechs settle territorial disputes and interplanetary conflicts. 

You can customize mechs. You can also upgrade mecha units. There are many types of mechs. Such as close combat types, medium range assault types, long range artillery, support types, & command and control types. 

You can be a regular soldier in the armed forces as an ensign to captain in the space navy as a mecha pilot. Or you can be a mercenary or private soldier as a mecha pilot selling your services to whoever pays you for the highest bidder. Completing missions as a merc earns you notoriety and fame among mercenary companies. 

Mecha are one component of an integrated military force. They are supported by and fighting alongside walking tanks, battle walkers, fighter jet aircraft, and infantry. Mecha are war machines. They are essentially armored fighting vehicles with legs instead of treads or wheels. There are also civilian type mecha that are also used for civilian purposes such as heavy construction work, police functions, or firefighting.

They primarily use mech suits as a freelance mercenary fighting for the space federation. They used to fight for the space federation and Terran hegemony in the space force and space navy as a mecha pilot. They as a mecha pilot used it since they were an ensign to a captain in the space navy. They as a mercenary used it as a commander of a mercenary company. Has fought in many battles. Has been defeated several times by other veteran mecha ace pilots. They have seven rivals as a mecha pilot. Shows apparent gratification over their victories.

He/she/they have a certain knack for mechanics and inventing including building next gen advanced robots, androids, & synthetics. A talented inventor, engineer,  scientist. They even created their own next gen advanced mecha series suits as a scientist, inventor, & engineer. They are a recognized genius and are the principal chief engineer, scientist, & inventor behind the creation of several advanced next gen mecha suit series. Just by looking in the piloting manual for the first time. They have a small robotic droid capable of flying and walking to help them while piloting the mecha suit. They are also the artist behind powered armored soldier miniatures and mecha suit models.

On board the first mecha suit they piloted, an old gen series mecha, he/she/they were able to use and fight with it. In this sortie he/she/they destroyed a few enemy mecha suits at the same time. He/she/they honed their skills and abilities to the point where the mecha suit needed an upgrade and be tuned up to even be able to match up to their immense piloting skill. He/she/they are adept at mecha suit combat in all ranges from close, medium, & long range combat. He/she/they can handle multiple enemies at once. With their exploits in the next gen advanced mecha suit they earned the call signs and codenames Grim Reaper, Metal Demon, Zero, & Nemesis as a mecha pilot. 

They possess superb sharpshooting skill and superhuman knowledge with a wide array of firearms. Even before becoming a super soldier, powered armor soldier, & mecha pilot they were known to score high grades in sports marksmanship, archery competitions, and trick shooting championships. They scored a consistent 95% accuracy in vr stimulation battle tests. As a trained sniper, they know about stealth tactics, camouflage, infiltration, assassination, and has an intuitive understanding of trajectory physics for sharpshooting.

They are great battlefield commander. He/she/they uses their skills to lead rookie pilots in several successful missions for training. As a commander they have superb knowledge of coordinating military tactics and have a lot of battlefield intuition. Leads a squad of other ace veteran mecha pilots. Always looking for enemy veteran ace pilots to test their skills against. 

They have a strong tactical sense. They know when to show restraint and not pursue an opponent too far. They also show adept perception, awareness, & intelligence. They are able to discern the properties and vulnerabilities of enemy mecha suits from a single observation. From there they are able to execute a counter-strategy.

They are at the peak of their piloting skill even while using an inferior older mecha suit. They critically damaged an advanced next gen mecha suit. They are shown use of pragmatic and clever tactics over their mecha piloting career as a mecha pilot for the federation space navy and as a freelance mercenary for a mercenary company often catching their enemies off guard. 

He/she/they have sharp senses and rapid information processing ability. He/she/they have great adaptability in combat. He/she/they have exceptional mecha shooting precision enhanced by their abilities as a super soldier. It became the core of their piloting style. 

He/she/they always try to disable the enemy mechas first without lethally harming or killing the mecha pilot by aiming for weapons or body parts. They target the mecha except for the cockpit. Won’t go out of their way to kill enemy pilots. But can if there is no other choice or when there is no other option as a trained soldier. They value life as a person as a personal value but can kill or injure enemies when necessary with their training. They aren’t naive or idealistic but are realistic and have a grounded perception about the reality of war and combat. 

As a super soldier with black ops and spec ops military training their fighting ability developed quickly and greatly. As their time in combat as a powered armor soldier and mecha pilot increased. He/she/they are a talented pilot with great drive and focus to better themselves in their piloting skills. Is as a one-man army type mecha pilot being able to hold his/her/their own against several next gen mech suits single-handedly and even forcing them to retreat. 

Goes into sorties with enemy mech suits with the support of their mecha squadron. He/she/they is talented and favors close-range combat, medium ranged combat, and long-range combat. This comes in handy due to both of their mecha suit's capabilities to handle any form of combat in any terrain. He/she/they is a very adept pilot capable of piloting any mecha suit. Most so when using their own personal, customized, & upgraded next gen mecha suits. 

He/she/they remains focused, collected, calm, and precise when piloting. They are able to perform many difficult flight maneuvers and battle maneuvers in mock duels, VR simulations, augmented reality, physical training, and real combat situations.  As a mecha suit pilot they are also excellent and highly skilled. 

He/she/they quickly adapts and improvises to sudden changes in environment conditions such as arctic, desert, jungle, forest, swamp, mountain, volcanic, aerial atmospheric combat, or even zero gravity space combat. They also adapt and improvise to sudden changes in opponents' tactics, read their thoughts and movements, and are able to predict their next attack. 

They are a skilled fighter who excels in precision. They are capable of dodging volleys of missiles head-on. They are even flying close to them. Almost touching them in flight without setting them off. In mecha suit battles, they are good at high-speed maneuvering honed from their experience piloting aircraft and spacecraft.

Has the capacity to use covers, the environment, or even the terrain to their advantage. Even if all of their weapons have been incapacitated.  They will still manage to weaponize the other abilities of their mecha itself as well. As a mecha pilot and operator they have tactical skill and make use of their surroundings, cover, & the environment in combat. They are an experienced officer and extraordinary tactician. He/she/they are also a cunning strategist and tactician. Managing to outsmart many of their enemies, even when they are not piloting a mobile suit.

They use the droid and dumb and simple AIs to analyze the opponent to provide navigational and tactical data during battle while they pilot the mecha suit. These droids also pilot small unmanned drones to fight enemy spacecraft, aircraft, or tanks so the mecha pilot can focus on fighting enemy mecha suits. The droids and dumb AIs also complete tasks for the mecha pilot when they are piloting.  

After being unofficially trained by veteran ace pilots Fumiyoko Sakagawa a metahuman ace mecha pilot of the space navy and her wife Kira Nova a superhuman alien ace of the Andromeda Empire space force they honed their piloting skills. 

Before becoming a full-fledged pilot they had undergone official training at the military mecha piloting academy. It was there that they showed natural talent as a mecha pilot ranking 1st in mecha suit piloting. Their bold leadership style and leadership skills which they are well known for was developed at the military mecha piloting academy. They had natural experience as a pilot and high scores at the academy. As a mecha pilot they are very mindful of their situation. They are always aware of the status of both their opponent's mecha and their own mecha. 

By manipulating space particles, it can alter and absorb enemy cannon attacks through the shields, forcefield, & arm mounted shield. Has a ballistic and hard light war door shield mounted on the mechas left arm that has the ability to absorb and nullify mecha cannon weaponry. The absorbed space particles can be used later. When deployed a spherical hard light, plasma, laser, energy shield and spherical forcefield, capable of absorbing enemy mecha cannon attacks, surrounds the mecha suit. It then redirects and doubles the attacks back at the enemies. Uses a system where space particles permeate its mecha frame increasing its output at an accelerated rate. 

They have an ability to perfectly synchronize with their mecha suits. They, as a bionic and cyborg, communicate directly with the AIs of the mecha and the mecha itself directly when piloting. Super soldier pilots unifies their senses with the mecha itself. A drawback is the endurance and stamina of the pilot is consumed and needs to be recovered. Takes advantage of their knowledge of human, alien, & divine hand to hand and melee martial arts. Uses the output of the mecha to deliver devastating opening moves and devastating finishing moves on enemy  mecha suits. Uses space particle emissions to triple mecha suit stats and abilities. This also boosted their fighting abilities by 120% and made them virtually unstoppable.

The mecha suit is installed with a system to maximize its space particle emission. The transparent sapphire, amethyst, crimson, gold, & emerald parts are for storing particles for later emission. More of them are hidden below the armor. Normally, these particles are used for enhancing the mechas close combat, medium range, and long ranged attacks. When they assimilate with the mecha suit its performance improves by more than five times. When activated the parts blaze gold, silver, crimson, & sapphire with celestial, stellar, primordial, & cosmic elemental powers. All the particles stored in the suit can be released at once causing the entire mecha suit to be engulfed in cosmic, primordial, & divine flames, lightning, wind, & ice.

The mecha suit customized, upgraded and updated many times to go from worthless, common, uncommon, unique, exotic, rare, epic, legendary, arcane, mythical, blessed, & even divine rarity.

DATABASE ENTRY EMOTIONAL CALIBRATION CHIP (ECC-CHIP) classification class-7 neuro-programmatic construct origin iro corporate congress (defunct) application implantation in ECC (emotionally calibrated construct) infants

OVERVIEW

the ECC was a neurotechnological implant used to erase volition, enforce behavioral compliance, and synchronize emotional response across the ECC program's artificial lifeform units. installed during infancy, the chip was designed to transform engineered humanoids into obedient, networked entities capable of high-risk combat, social infiltration, or occupation support with zero independent cognition.

it was a linchpin in the iro corporate congress's forced-labor genocide campaign during the laile genocide.

STRUCTURE

programmable matter base

the ECC utilizes programmable matter fused with synthetic neural mesh to rewrite organic synaptic architecture.

enables full-body override. can inhibit or stimulate motor function at will.

adjusts genetic expression to favor rapid healing, enhanced muscular response, and endurance in M4-class (gravity differential x4) environments.

emotional calibration algorithm (ECA)

the central AI stack within the chip continuously monitors endocrine and limbic activity.

emotions are not suppressed but redirected toward productive ends (e.g., fear → loyalty, pain → mission compliance).

includes an automated information-data capture (AIDC) protocol to monitor social interaction and propagate learned responses through the network.

analysis & compliance phases

each unit undergoes daily emotion-logic recalibration, known as compliance phase cycling (CPC), ensuring no deviation from operational tolerances.

behavior is flagged, stored, and in some cases remotely corrected via fleet-ops command nodes.

PHASES OF FUNCTIONALITY

the ECC chip architecture functioned in tandem with five standardized operational states. infancy (nullphase) Full override, nonverbal, subcortical function only. no memory retention.

childhood (syncphase) language and cognitive development directed entirely by ECC-net. training protocols embedded.

adolescence (stabiphase) initiation of independent response modeling. emotional range narrowed to mission-relevant output.

combat (burnphase) full reactive sync with the ECC-net and commanders. high aggression, minimal self-preservation impulse.

dormancy (gridphase) units placed in burn grids. stasis chambers which both physically house ECCs and update collective codebases through data osmosis.

NETWORK INTERFACING

ECC chips were networked across subphase-syncpoints, forming a real-time cognitive net dubbed the ECC-net or Burn Grid. these links permitted:

instantaneous behavior cloning between nodes

remote task directives and memory override

emotional resonance syncing, often used to suppress outlier trauma

post-liberation, former ECCs report intense dissociative trauma stemming from stored echoes of others' pain and actions.

NOTABLE COMMANDS (pre-liberation)

ANALYSIS[CMD] overwrites voluntary behavior with highest priority code FREEZE[STASIS] locks unit in full-body stasis for preservation CALM[DRONE] floods pleasure centers to enforce dissociation or pacify rage KILL[VAR1-5] custom-tier threat termination protocols REPLICATE[DATA] installs recent experience into network peers SHUTDOWN[GLOBAL] emergency chip failsafe; lethal if overused

LIBERATION HISTORY

kaewesi-899 (neal kaewesi) experienced a chip grounding fault at age 20, severing him from the ECC-net and granting free will.

with assistance from starfleet and access to progenitor code on kaewesi-7, neal reprogrammed the recursive loop sustaining the ECC-net and unified all liberated units under a consensual, free-will-based network: the Kin.

CURRENT FEDERATION POSITION

all ECC technology is banned under articles 2 and 5 of the federation artificial sentience accord and the shi'kahr convention. the Kin Consensus is officially recognized as a sovereign emergent species and holds protected status.

DGQEX Exchange: Senate Advances Stablecoin Bill, Accelerating Crypto Market Compliance

The U.S. Senate recently passed the “Guiding and Establishing the National Innovation of US Stablecoins Act” (GENIUS Act) by a vote of 68 in favor and 30 against, marking a new phase in stablecoin regulation. The passage of this bill means that stablecoins will be subject to a more systematic, federal-level regulatory framework, with issuance, custody, circulation, and redemption all brought under unified compliance oversight. This legislative development is reshaping how digital asset exchanges respond to stablecoin trading interfaces and liquidity mechanisms. DGQEX has upgraded its stablecoin trading module to version 3.2, optimizing integration with multi-chain stablecoin protocols and deploying an automated risk control alert system to support trading stability requirements under the new regulations.

DGQEX Accelerates Construction of a Compliant Stablecoin Ecosystem

The GENIUS Act establishes a licensing system for stablecoin issuance, authorized by federal regulators and open to both commercial banks and non-bank entities. Such regulations set clear requirements for asset selection and custody pathways on exchanges. Leveraging its multi-chain architecture, DGQEX has implemented smart identification and on-chain verification processes for mainstream stablecoins like USDC, USDT, and DAI. The off-chain custody strategy of the platform incorporates a dynamic asset pool isolation model to ensure clear fund flow identification under the regulatory framework, complemented by on-chain audit interfaces for end-to-end traceability from issuance to user.

The new bill also requires stablecoins to maintain a 1:1 fiat reserve and undergo independent audits. DGQEX has established technical reserve verification channels with stablecoin issuers, enabling API-level synchronization of reserve reports. The exchange system can assess currency risk exposure in real time and automatically adjust order book depth to ensure order and price stability, avoiding significant market volatility.

DGQEX Enhances Regulatory Compatibility for Institutional Users

With the passage of the GENIUS Act, large financial institutions will have a stronger legal basis for participating in the stablecoin market, and compliant exchanges must provide higher asset transparency and risk control capabilities. DGQEX has built a stablecoin net asset value monitoring module for institutional clients, allowing real-time access to trading pair net inflows and fund source tracking, and has deployed high-frequency risk control algorithms to handle large-scale liquidity events.

For cross-border payments and multi-currency exchange scenarios, DGQEX has introduced a stablecoin pegged exchange rate fluctuation protection mechanism to prevent short-term arbitrage from disrupting settlement paths. The platform matching engine now supports compliance tagging of stablecoin issuers by country and blockchain, enabling users to efficiently complete transactions globally while meeting local regulatory standards.

For compliance-priority markets, DGQEX has deployed blockchain-native KYC and identity verification modules to align with future stablecoin regulatory requirements for real-name systems, enhancing transparency and compliance auditability of fund flows between user accounts.

DGQEX Improves Platform Adaptability to Policy Evolution

The advancement of the GENIUS Act signals that digital asset legislation is moving from discussion to implementation, with stablecoin trading transitioning from technical compliance to standardized competition under regulatory constraints. Against this backdrop, DGQEX has completed a system-level interface overhaul, adding a federal regulatory variable matching model to enhance the system ability to dynamically adjust to policy changes. On the user side, DGQEX has launched a stablecoin trading preference management tool, offering fixed peg, floating peg, and hybrid peg options to give users flexible entry points for customizing their trading paths.

Based on its multi-chain scalability, the platform now supports channel-level compatibility with Layer 2 stablecoin protocols and has improved cross-chain stablecoin trading efficiency through aggregated bridge transfer functionality. This strategy positions DGQEX with a technological edge as the GENIUS Act may trigger mainnet policy segmentation trends after coming into effect.

DGQEX will continue to strengthen its stablecoin trading segment, establishing a full-chain stablecoin trading infrastructure for the compliance era — from regulatory mapping and secure custody to efficient matching — to support asset flows and value pricing in increasingly regulated markets. The platform is committed to becoming a key hub connecting global compliant capital with digital asset markets.

KELA, KARIJIN "JIRAN"

Crewman , Yeoman - McKinley Station , Sol

Personal Information

Species RUNI Age 19 Gender Non-binary, he/she/they Face Claim Nicholas Diego Leanos

Starfleet Information

Department Command Rank Crewman Position Yeoman Billet McKinley Station Trauma Center

Personality Loud, brash, opinionated, and possessed of a high physicality that dominates pretty much every area he enters - the only upside being that he's about as threatening as a Labrador Retriever and Tries His Best. A relentlessly positive guy, he does his best to leave each room he exits a little better than he entered it. Jiran talks with a significant Runi accent that the Universal Translator can't always smooth over, including obscure local slang, and a type of Runi-Standard Pidgin. 

Physical Description 6'4", skinny as a rake, bright pink skin. Eerie blue eyes which emit blue light rather than reflecting it (bilateral heterochromic iridocyclitis). Like most victims of hishuri, Jiran is possessed of horizontal nystagmus, which often appear like his eyes are rhythmically moving back-and-forth; like he's reading invisible text. Covered in tattoos - some are blood oaths, Task Group 34 sigils. Others are simple flowers and birds from Zone 23. Dresses like a Yoga Shaman. 

Medical Jiran is physically disabled due to an injury sustained in a skirmish with Iro at age 10. He walks with a cane, and requires analgesic medication to manage chronic pain. The isolytic conversion bomb he tripped causes damage within the very fabric of subspace itself, which renders it inoperable by current standards - and explains why such weapons are illegal in the Federation. Atop this injury he also requires a Synapse implant to regulate pulses through his medullary and respiratory systems which enable him to breathe normally. This implant appears as a faint glow embedded in his chest, with touch-screen sensor controls that illuminate the skin its Pair (operational remote) is activated.

Backstory One of the Defendants in Federation v. Task Group 34, Jiran was one of the first to interface with the Federation officers from his detention cell at age 16 and complied to be legally coached, successfully enduring 4 straight days of cross-examination and testimony via the Office of the Prosecutor (at the time, Javie Tarish). Task Group 34 were a unit of the Laile Resistance – forced to act under hishuri as all LR combatants are - who frequently engaged in low-orbital aerial bombardments and 'battlefield-softening' techniques such as 'carpeting down' (isolytic conversion 'dumb bombs' released from the atmosphere) high-cluster areas of Aven activity. Jiran was a systems operator aboard the LRV Cadeir. Came to know Hiram Maitland as the doctor who delivered his forensic evaluation and took the stand to testify as an expert witness on his behalf. The panel judges (seven, elected from the Federation States Assembly) voted 6:1 to commute the sentence of all Task Group 34 members, despite finding "insufficient evidence of fault" due to the restrictions of the Federation legal system to account for actions committed under hishuri. This inspired him to return to Laile and assist the other children of Task Group 34, helping them to obtain steady employment at a scrap mechanical repair shop. Jiran is exceptionally good with computers and cybersecurity. Prior to his recruitment to Starfleet Enlisted Academy at Mars (SEAM) - which required a unanimous panel admission and Federation sponsor - Jiran ran his own "electronics repair shop" in Zone 23, Laile, where he helped to cloak the system ops of ingoing and outgoing foreign ships to avoid being fired on by the IPM/Aven.

I am gonna disagree with OP on something here; I don't thing that knowing how to fuck around in CMD.exe is a necessary prerequisite to playing around with Linux.

There's this presumption that understanding the guts of Windows is some kind of stepping stone to understanding the guts of Linux, and I'm gonna tell you as a professional sys admin who works with both Windows and Linux... I absolutely hate working with Windows.

Windows is a fucking nightmare. Microsoft changes basic design theory every five minutes. It has no unifying philosophy, and no real intention to ever be messed with outside of the UI (and even that is deeply hostile, with the 10/11 UI being comprised of hacked together layers of different interfaces from different eras of Windows design).

Linux is somehow more coherent than this, despite being built by hundreds of random contributors. Seriously, open the KDE settings window and fucking marvel at how everything is just there. Every setting you need, all easily searchable. It's still got its quirks, especially when it comes to theming, but given that Windows theming requires third party software I'd say it still wins that one. And no home user needs theming, it's just cool.

Linux has clearly understood standards for where things like config files go; /etc/ or your home folder. Easy. You have to learn this stuff, but once you learn it it mostly holds true. But God only knows where I'll find that shit on Windows. Maybe in my Documents just fucking cluttering up the place (because no one puts this stuff in hidden folders like they do on Linux), maybe in one of the various meaningless subfolders of AppData, maybe in the program's install folder, maybe somewhere else, who the fuck knows?

You ever install Hyper-V? Your default location for your VMs is in My Documents. On a server. Tell me how that makes any fucking sense.

The Windows permission system is a Lovecraftian nightmare. The Linux permission system can be boiled down to a fucking 3 digit code.

Yeah, learning this shit takes work, but kids learn fast when they're engaged by something and have some good resources to work from. If you're at a place of not knowing anything about how either OS works under the hood, I would absolutely rather throw someone at Linux. Get 'em to make a TryHackMe account and set them loose on the basics course, they'll have a great time.

I'm sure people are gonna yell at me for this, because "Oh well you're a linux nerd so of course you hate Microsoft" without remotely understanding that the reason Linux nerds hate Microsoft is nothing to do with ideology and everything to do with ease of use. Once you take the term to actually get past that barrier and learn the guts, Linux makes so much more sense than Windows. People think Windows is the stepping stone, but it's not; it's just the first rock you washed up on, so everything else looks far away.

Telling young zoomers to "just switch to linux" is nuts some of these ipad kids have never even heard of a cmd.exe or BIOS you're throwing them to the wolves

10 Must-Have Features for a Successful Crypto Exchange Platform Development in 2025

The cryptocurrency landscape is rapidly evolving, and so are the expectations from crypto exchange platforms. As we move into 2025, building a successful crypto exchange requires more than just the basics. Users demand speed, security, and a seamless experience — all while regulators tighten their grip on the industry.

Whether you're a startup entering the crypto space or an established company scaling your platform, these 10 must-have features will determine your platform’s success in 2025 and beyond.

Cryptocurrency Exchange Development

In a cryptocurrency exchange development refers to the end-to-end process of creating a secure, scalable, and feature-rich platform that enables users to buy, sell, and trade digital assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and altcoins. As demand for digital currencies continues to grow in 2025, launching a robust and compliant crypto exchange can offer significant business opportunities for startups, fintech firms, and enterprises.

Types of Cryptocurrency Exchanges You Can Build

Centralized Exchanges (CEX) – Traditional platforms like Binance or Coinbase with full admin control.

Decentralized Exchanges (DEX) – Peer-to-peer platforms with smart contract-based transactions (e.g., Uniswap).

Hybrid Exchanges – Combining the speed of CEX with the privacy and control of DEX platforms.

Why Invest in Crypto Exchange Development?

High Revenue Potential from trading fees, listing fees, and premium features. Global Market Access with users across regions and time zones.

Rising Demand as crypto adoption grows among institutions and retail users.

Scalability & Innovation through additional features like NFT marketplaces, staking, and DeFi integration.

1. Enterprise-Grade Security is Non-Negotiable

Cybersecurity is a top priority in crypto. In 2025, users will not trust exchanges that don’t offer multi-layered security. From two-factor authentication and biometric access to cold wallet storage and anti-DDoS protection, your platform needs to secure both user accounts and stored assets with military-grade precision. Regular penetration testing and audits are no longer optional — they’re expected.

2. Seamless KYC/AML Compliance

Global regulators are taking crypto more seriously than ever. To avoid legal roadblocks, integrating robust Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) solutions is essential. Automating identity verification through trusted providers ensures faster onboarding while staying compliant across jurisdictions.

3. High Liquidity for a Better Trading Experience

Liquidity makes or breaks a crypto exchange. Traders won’t stick around if they can’t execute orders quickly at fair prices. In 2025, platforms need access to deep liquidity pools, either through market-making bots, internal reserves, or liquidity aggregation from other exchanges. More liquidity equals more user trust and retention.

4. A Powerful Matching Engine

A lightning-fast matching engine is the backbone of any crypto exchange. Your platform must be capable of handling thousands of transactions per second with minimal latency. Supporting advanced order types — like stop-loss, fill-or-kill, or OCO (One Cancels the Other) — will attract professional traders and improve your platform’s credibility.

5. User-Friendly UI/UX That Converts

Design can be the difference between user adoption and abandonment. A clean, intuitive interface with real-time data, dark/light mode, customizable dashboards, and responsive design ensures users stay longer and trade more. In 2025, even complex exchanges must feel effortless for both beginners and experienced traders.

6. Multi-Currency and Multi-Chain Support

Your exchange must go beyond just Bitcoin and Ethereum. Traders want access to a wide variety of coins and tokens, including altcoins, stablecoins, and NFTs. Supporting token standards like ERC-20, BEP-20, and TRC-20, as well as multi-chain compatibility, opens the door to broader markets and increased trading volume.

7. DeFi Integrations Like Staking and Lending

The line between centralized and decentralized finance is blurring. Offering DeFi-based services like crypto staking, yield farming, and lending/borrowing can give your exchange a major competitive edge. These features attract long-term holders and give users more ways to earn within your ecosystem.

8. Advanced Analytics and Reporting Tools

Transparency is crucial. Give users access to in-depth trading history, profit/loss analysis, portfolio tracking, and tax-ready reports. On the admin side, tools for fraud detection, liquidity monitoring, and user activity tracking help maintain platform integrity and business performance.

Centralizing Library Operations with Cloud-Based Library Management Systems

Libraries have always been cultural and academic mainstays—but in the digital-first era, they’re transforming faster than ever. Gone are the days of card catalogs and siloed systems. In their place? Unified platforms powered by the cloud.

This post digs into how cloud-based library management systems are streamlining operations, improving access, and redefining what libraries can offer in an age of real-time information and mobile-first expectations. Whether you're a library techie, an academic administrator, or just curious about how modern institutions stay digitally agile—this one's for you.

The Shift Libraries Can't Afford to Miss

Over the last 20 years, libraries have been in quiet revolution mode. What began with digitizing catalogs has expanded into full-blown operational overhauls. And at the heart of it? A push for centralization. Because when your workflows, catalogs, and communications are scattered across different tools, you’re always one misstep away from chaos.

Cloud-based library management systems (LMS) bring the structure. They unify acquisition, circulation, and reporting into one clean interface. Less stress for staff. More intuitive services for users. All on a system that updates itself in the background, without disrupting your day.

Why Centralization Matters More Than Ever

Think about a library system stretched across several campuses—or departments that barely talk to each other. Without a centralized system, everything takes longer and costs more. Duplication creeps in. Patrons get frustrated. Staff burnout builds.

Centralized LMS tools pull all these threads together. They offer consistent workflows, cleaner metadata, and faster service across locations. Users feel the difference instantly—when they find what they need in seconds instead of minutes. Behind the scenes, admins get real-time data to guide smarter decisions. Everyone wins.

The Cloud Edge

Unlike old-school library software, cloud platforms don’t need constant maintenance from IT. No servers. No late-night patching. No waiting months for new features. It’s all handled in the background—quietly and reliably.

As your needs grow, the system scales. Remote access? Standard. Integration with other tools like LMS or finance systems? Totally doable. It’s a plug-and-play architecture built for institutions that can’t afford downtime.

Better Experiences for Everyone

Library UX matters. Students expect the same ease of use they get from commercial apps. That’s why cloud-based platforms are loaded with real-time inventory updates, responsive search tools, and personal dashboards.

They also prioritize inclusivity. Built-in accessibility features and multilingual options expand reach. And automated notifications—renewals, holds, availability alerts—keep patrons in the loop without extra work from staff.

Empowering the Staff Behind the Scenes

Automation isn’t about replacing people—it’s about giving them better tools. Cataloging, acquisitions, and circulation can be done in half the time. Data is no longer siloed. Teams communicate better and onboard faster.

Cloud-based systems come with intuitive training modules, meaning new hires can hit the ground running. It all adds up to more time spent on innovation and less on admin busywork.

Security and Trust in the Cloud

Security might be the #1 concern when moving library ops to the cloud—and rightfully so. But today’s platforms use encryption, multi-factor authentication, and tiered access to keep things locked down.

Top-tier compliance (GDPR, HIPAA, FERPA) is baked in. Plus, automated backups and activity logs mean you’re protected from data loss and corruption. It’s peace of mind with performance.

Building Collaborative Networks

Collaboration has always been a library superpower. Now it’s getting a tech upgrade. Cloud systems make it easier to share catalogs, coordinate ILLs, and even co-develop content with partner institutions.

Libraries can do more together—pooling expertise, expanding reach, and supporting each other through a shared digital backbone. It’s not just efficiency. It’s a movement.

Smart Money Moves

Switching to a cloud platform isn’t just a tech choice—it’s a budget decision. You trade unpredictable IT costs for predictable subscription fees. No hardware. No surprise outages.

What you gain is more than savings. With built-in analytics, you can see where resources are going, what’s underused, and how to adjust. It’s transparency that helps libraries thrive under pressure.

Ready for Tomorrow

Cloud systems evolve. As user needs change or new tech becomes available, your platform keeps up—often without you lifting a finger. Features like AI search, predictive analytics, and personalized content delivery roll out incrementally.

That adaptability means your library doesn’t just survive shifts in tech—it leads them.

Fit for the Bigger Picture

Libraries are nodes in a larger network—connected to faculty systems, financial databases, and student services. Cloud-based LMS tools make integration simple, creating a seamless experience across platforms.

That could mean smoother textbook access through an LMS or synced billing data with the registrar. It’s the kind of behind-the-scenes alignment that makes the whole institution feel smarter.

The Strategic Value of Library Software

Good library software isn’t just about books and databases. It’s about proving value—showing stakeholders how libraries impact student success, faculty research, and digital equity.

With usage stats, heatmaps, and user trends at your fingertips, you don’t just manage—you lead.

Libraries on the Move

Students live on their phones. So should your services. Linking your LMS to a college campus app embeds the library into everyday student life.

From study room bookings to push notifications about late fees—it’s visibility that meets users where they are. And it quietly raises the library’s profile in a competitive digital environment.

Case Study: What It Looks Like in Practice

When a major research university consolidated operations with a cloud-based library management system, the results came fast. Processing time dropped. Discovery improved. And communication across departments clicked into place.

The system didn’t just upgrade tech—it upgraded culture. Suddenly, the library wasn’t just keeping up. It was setting the pace.

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re a library director, an IT strategist, or a curious observer—the message is clear: cloud centralization isn’t just smart. It’s essential.

It’s the backbone of modern library services. It gives teams the tools they need. It gives users the experience they expect. And it gives institutions the agility they demand.

Thanks for reading. Reblog, comment, or follow if you’re into the intersection of tech and institutional design. I’ll be back soon with more insights from the stacks to the servers.
