Restructuring the Marvel Cinematic Universe phase by phase, as to present a slightly more faithful and tonally consistent adaptation of the source material (Phase 1)
Phase 1
Hey, everybody!
Last summer, I started a revision of past Marvel film properties, reimagining them as installments of the MCU. From Sony to Fox. From Spider-Man to X-Men, and more,
Now, following up said revisions, I figured I'd take a crack at examining the MCU itself, one phase at a time. I think it's safe to say Marvel's juggernaut of a film franchise is one of the most impactful film projects of all time.
But there are, in many ways, improvements that could be made. More faithful takes on the source material, perhaps a character arc or two that could be fleshed out, or a potential story left untapped.
Before you begin, go ahead and catch up on previous posts.
With that out of the way, let's proceed!
****
MCU- PHASE 1
Iron Man - 2008
As Jon Favreau's Iron Man is still one of my favorite of the whole MCU, and a masterful debut for Tony Stark, there isn't much I'd change about this one.
Minus just a couple of things, what with the pre-existing films that came before.
  • A reference to the Baxter Building in New York, and the city's general habit of attracting superheroes.
    • In reference to both Spider-Man, and the Fantastic Four.
  • Agent Coulson, having made his debut in the Spider-Man series, already has plenty of experience with superhumans and mutants.
The Incredible Hulk - 2008
In my opinion, a woefully underrated entry in the MCU that treats the character of Bruce Banner with far more dignity than any other outside of The Avengers.
However, there are definitely some things I'd tweak. Including some plot threads touched on in the 2003 Hulk film (essentially, picture the two films mixed into one).
For starters, the opening titles are preceded by this unfortunately deleted scene.
Now on the Bruce Banner side of things:
  • Bruce's traumatic childhood is touched upon, with Bruce making mention of his abusive father Brian.
  • A plot thread (which spans much of his time in the MCU) begins which builds the Hulk as a dissociative side of Bruce's own personality.
    • A persona he created as a child, an 'imaginary friend' of sorts who was strong when he was weak, brave when he was too afraid, etc.
  • Bruce denying his own aggressive feelings and repressing them allowed the Hulk personality to emerge in the first place.
Regarding Samuel Sterns:
  • Sterns has moments of enthusiasm regarding Gamma radiation and is affable towards Bruce and Betty Ross, but is overall more composed and detached.
  • Sterns is taken away in the end by General Ross, catatonic but showing signs of his own Gamma-induced mutation.
General Thaddeus Ross and Betty Ross both receive some more character development, both in their attitudes and relationships with Bruce Banner.
  • Ross worked with Brian Banner in the past, and appreciated his genius until learning of his abuse of his child Bruce (and murder of his wife).
    • Ross would meet Bruce again years later on working for the Gamma-radiation super soldier project, and feared he may one day follow in his father's footsteps.
    • In an argument right before the climax in Harlem, Bruce calls out Ross's poor judgment regarding his father and him, and says the general has one thing in common with Brian; his blind ambition and lack of compassion regarding his own child.
  • Betty's history as Bruce's coworker, as well as girlfriend, is not only emphasized but would carry her character forward in the MCU
    • Meaning yes, she'd come back.
Finally, the nature of the super-soldier formula and the creation of the Abomination is elaborated upon:
  • Emil Blonsky's degradation and turning on Ross is foreshadowed by an argument in which Ross notices the soldier growing erratic and aggressive.
    • Ross discovers the variant his people created is flawed, but keeps it from Blonsky.
  • At the crucial moment which triggers his transformation, Sterns tells Blonsky the formula in his system is "unstable", angering Blonsky.
Finally, as the film's ending wasn't really followed up on, what we get is instead a more esoteric and trippy sequence in which Bruce faces the Hulk in the landscape of his own mind.
Foreshadowing a struggle for control, and the eventual merging of their personalities.
Iron Man 2 - 2010
The main trajectory of this film and dissection of Tony Stark's impulsive, self-destructive nature remains much as we saw in the original film.
But with a good deal more focus.
For starters, the tone, one much more serious and straightforward.
  • Less time devoted to sitcom-esque banter with Justin Hammer and Ivan Vanko.
  • Tony's alcoholism rears its ugly head more than once.
  • Less "wow she's so hot" moments regarding Natasha Romanoff.
The inclusion of Natasha Romanoff is mostly as we saw, save for:
  • Less gratuitous eye-candy.
  • Tony's flirtatious interactions with Nat are decidedly one-sided, and simply another instance of him spiraling out of control.
Finally, on the subject of the villain, Ivan Vanko:
  • Heralding back to the original comic books, Vanko is reimagined as the "Crimson Dynamo".
    • His father, Anton, had planned to created an armored super soldiers bearing blood-red armor for the Soviet Union before he was sent into exile.
    • While he carries energized whips as part of his arsenal, Vanko also includes a menagerie of other weapons in his titanic armored suit.
The film concludes much as we got, save for a brief sequence of Tony attending an AA meeting before his last talk with Nick Fury.
Thor - 2011
Once again I find myself thinking this one's incredibly underrated.
  • And, in my opinion, still the best Thor film.
    • Yes, better than Ragnarok (I'll get to that one eventually, I think it's good but nothing spectacular).
The little improvements I'd make here and there to this cosmic Shakespearean family drama are as follows.
Loki's point of betrayal against Thor is made just a little clearer:
  • Talks with Thor, the Warriors Three and then finally Thor again in the climax establish that while Loki does love Thor, he's not only resentful and envious but genuinely afraid of his big brother at times.
    • Afraid, specifically, of a hotheaded and violent warmonger who acts before he thinks; ironically what Loki himself will one day become.
  • Loki's dialogue in the final battle is a little more specific on his issues.
    • "You still don't understand, do you? Growing up, I never wanted the throne. I only ever wanted to be your equal. And if this is the only way, then so be it!"
Odin's morally grey character is pointed out more than once.
  • Odin admits to Loki that long ago, he was very much like him and Thor; reckless and arrogant, and leading with his heart more than his head.
  • Odin telling Loki "no" on the Bifrost is expanded on, further driving Loki to his attempted suicide.
    • "You tried to murder your brother. You betrayed him, betrayed all of us... No, Loki. I didn't want this."
The film's ending includes one bitter moment in which Thor says that, while Odin did what he thought was best, he's a far better king than he was a father. And Odin sadly agrees.
Captain America: The First Avenger - 2011
The origin of the first Avenger proceeds as we saw it, overall. But given the complex and often dark nature of Steve Rogers's world, perhaps some tonal and character changes are in order.
For starters, let's take a look at the portrayal of World War II.
  • The presentation of the war could be drawn out, delving into more of the horrific and violent nature of the conflict.
  • Steve Rogers's experiences can be shown hardening him, wearing him down into the idealistic-yet-worldly man we see in the MCU going forward.
  • More down-and-dirty, grisly action sequences are warranted, as this is the most deadly conflict in human history.
    • Including a more theatrical portrayal of what a super soldier can do, keeping in line with later MCU films.
Next up, the organization HYDRA and its evil activities.
  • While HYDRA's status as an ancient cult that has ambitions beyond the Third Reich and Axis is perfectly fair, it's important that its commitment to the Reich and its evil activities isn't shied away from, but rather put on display.
    • Torture
    • Mass murder
    • Human experimentation
  • HYDRA are Nazis, and it's pointless to try and differentiate them.
  • Dr. Arnim Zola, while seemingly pathetic and weak, could display a ruthless streak once or twice which hints that he might not be so harmless after all...
This overall point regarding HYDRA leads to Johann Schmidt/Red Skull.
  • As with HYDRA, it's important to display that while Schmidt is a man who wants to advance himself above all others, he's still a Nazi and eagerly complicit in the party's many atrocities.
The ending of the film I'd leave very much as is, it's probably one of the most pitch perfect in the whole MCU for how bittersweet it is.
The Avengers - 2012
Overall, a very well-crafted movie with a solid story, great chemistry between the leads and a thrilling set-up for what's to come.
Though, with the benefit of hindsight, there are additions and alterations I'd make.
For starters, let's go ahead and include good ol' Hank Pym as a leading coordinator of the Avengers Initiative.
  • Pym is his old, grouchy self as we know him, wary of S.H.I.E.L.D. and bearing a grudge against the Stark family, but committed to defending the world as best he can.
  • Janet Van Dyne is missing, as we got in the MCU, but appears in an old film reel Pym watches with Steve Rogers in his spare time.
    • Incidentally, Rogers as an old-world figure with a simpler view of things is the Avenger with whom Pym gets along with the most.
  • Pym is a recovering drinker, like Tony, and begrudgingly connects with him over lost loved ones and past destructive habits.
On the note of other heroes, let's address some cringeworthy stuff with Black Widow in light of director Joss Whedon's... less than proud legacy.
  • As with Iron Man 2, cut down on the gratuitous fanservice and treat the character just a bit more seriously.
  • More heavily foreshadow her as an enhanced soldier in her own right, hinting at not only the Black Widow program but also history to be revealed in both her film and The Winter Soldier.
Bruce Banner and the Hulk continue their complicated dynamic from their solo movie.
  • Bruce is established as having formed something of an understanding of the Hulk, not controlling his other side but being able to "aim it" when transformations occur.
  • By the end, he is able to let go of his fear and allow the change to come when it needs to.
    • Though the act of transformation does still take a toll afterwards.
On the villains' side, we can expect same old Loki, but with one minor change.
  • That being a canon engagement in the theory that possessing the Mind Stone made Loki more susceptible to Thanos's manipulations.
    • His mistakes are his own, at the end of the day, but indulging in the dangerous use of the Mind Stone in his scepter acts like a drug and feeds Loki's more malicious impulses; the more he does with it, the worse he gets.
  • Even after the scepter is taken from him, the damage is done and Loki is left with serious emotional/mental/physical scars from his time serving Thanos.
The final battle in New York features cameos from pre-existing Marvel characters, featured in previous rewrites.
  • Peter Parker, fresh out of graduate school, saving some bystanders and old J. Jonah from collateral damage.
  • Reed Richards, activating a defensive grid around the Baxter Building and guiding nearby people to safety in its walls.
    film ends with the same cliffhanger of Thanos planning his endgame. But his lair has one distinct change to it.
That being a mural of the cosmic entities of the Marvel universe.
Entropy, Infinity, Eternity...
...and Death.
****
That does it for this installment.
Hope you enjoyed it!

2023.06.04 06:01 mountndewpissbottle A Slowly Solidifying Ghost.

I apologize if this comes across a little intense. My writing tends lavender.
I can’t describe it but it’s like I’m constantly forgetting I’m real. I am not an old man, hardly a man by most cultures definition. About to hit my mid twenties and I have wasted so much time staying alive. My childhood is something I can not describe in metrics. It wasn’t good, it wasn’t bad. We were well off, rich even. So I was never struggling in that regard. What happened was I was property up until I was old enough to hit back. No personal belongings, no art on my walls or friends in the house. I spent winter nights huddled on the porch after being locked out. I have a 4 inch long scar on my arm from my mother stabbing me when I was 13. That was childhood.
For full disclosure yes I fought back. That’s something I’m proud of. I fight back. It’s why I’m still alive. I’m too stubborn to die. I yelled and screamed, sometimes I started it. I was a child. It just made things worse. I can’t pinpoint any motivation beyond animal in those years. When I wanted something I stole it.
This experience stunted me developmentally and aged me mentally. When my peers were planning college and careers. I was to insecure to even conceive of that. I don’t mean cerebrally. In the sense that I was actively processing my actions. I mean in the deepest sense I just didn’t think of myself as “one of them.” I still don’t. The cruel thing is through my perceived isolation I created an identity of actual isolation. I didn’t just think I was different I WAS different. Maybe it was a deep seated desire to be noticed despite my “flaws” but I made myself known. I was the class clown, the good one. The one you would want to be in a group with. I almost gave my high schools senior address. I can be a good writer with enough of a prompt. Everyone said “he’ll either die young or die famous, maybe both.” Well I’m still here but it’s been close.
Outcasts don’t go to college. They don’t care how they look. What they do, who they do it with. I submerged myself in denial. Tricked myself into thinking that was freedom. Constantly bouncing between the next boost. The group laughing at my joke, the bottle hidden from my parents, the girls I’d sneak in. All of it well being a loser! Somehow I moved out, kept a job and kept getting better ones All well being this fucked up thing. That’s how I looked at myself. If I was dirt let me be the king of dirt. I never went too far. On paper it sounds intense but the reality was just… reality. One day there’s a stranger in my bed, the next my roommates smoking with a felon. Nothing strange when it’s happening to you. I have done things which I can’t believe were me. I am proud to say the only person I’ve hurt is myself.
I found a relationship somewhere in all of that. I think I’m ok now. Wiser but the pains gone. Maybe. I haven’t had one sense. Not officially. She was confused and I can’t blame her for that. I’ve been confused. I can say it’s changed the way I trust. I used to not understand what It was. I can’t say I’m an expert now but I know what it means to me.
I had a roommate try and kill me. Both my parents had a good shot at it too. Not intentionally but when you fight shit happens. I’ve seen two people die. One peacefully one violently. I have seen many dying and I have been to many funerals. Death is constantly crossing my mind.
I haven’t mentioned yet but I have struggles with substances. I’ve cut down a lot in the past 6 months. I cut off a bad relationship round then too. Decided that I needed to start looking at myself and it’s been great. Lots of personal successes. It’s crushingly lonely. I can’t help feeling chewed up, way older than I am. Like a cyclone spit me out on the moon. I really can’t understand a lot of people. I find it hard to find anything real. I can’t sleep and I have weird hallucinations and flashbacks. Each day is its own reward and it’s own hell. I’m beyond hopeful for tomorrow, yet I’m terrified for the day when I realize where I’ve been.
Thanks for reading this is you have. I’m not one of those “why does the world hate me” people I’m an optimist at the end of day. If someone’s where I’ve been my advice so far. it gets different. The betters on you

2023.06.04 05:51 gordomillones I asked ChatGPT for a solution to end this

As an AI language model, I can provide a hypothetical judgment based on the information provided about MMTLP. However, please note that this is purely speculative and not an official legal judgment. Given the information presented, a potential solution could involve the following:
  1. Verification of Shareholders: The court should conduct a thorough investigation to verify the legitimacy of shareholders and ensure they are entitled to the shares of Next Bridge Hydrocarbons.
  2. Compensation for Losses: Shareholders who suffered financial losses due to the unauthorized trading, trading halt, or counterfeit shares should be compensated for their losses. This could involve reimbursement of their initial investment or other forms of restitution.
  3. Punitive Measures: If it is determined that market makers, FINRA, or other parties involved engaged in illegal activities or negligence, appropriate punitive measures should be taken to hold them accountable for their actions. This could include fines, sanctions, or other disciplinary actions.
  4. Regulatory Reform: The case of MMTLP highlights potential loopholes or shortcomings in existing regulations. It would be important for regulators, such as the SEC and FINRA, to review and enhance their oversight to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. This could involve stricter enforcement of regulations, improved transparency, and increased accountability for market participants.
  5. Public Awareness: It is crucial to raise public awareness about the issues surrounding MMTLP and similar cases. Journalists and political leaders should play an active role in reporting and exposing these crimes to ensure that investors' concerns are not disregarded or overlooked.
Again, it is important to note that this is a hypothetical solution based on the information provided, and the actual legal proceedings and judgment would depend on a thorough examination of all the facts, evidence, and applicable laws.
I then decided to ask about the blue sheets..
Regarding the blue sheets, which are the records of customer trading activity provided by brokers to regulators, their disclosure and examination would be an important step in the resolution process. The court should consider ordering the release of the blue sheets to determine the extent of any counterfeit shares or other irregularities in the trading of MMTLP.
By analyzing the blue sheets, it may be possible to identify the number of counterfeit shares that were oversold and to reconcile the discrepancies in share ownership. This information would be crucial in providing shareholders with genuine shares of Next Bridge Hydrocarbons and ensuring a fair resolution.
If it is found that the blue sheets contain evidence of fraudulent activity, such as the overselling of counterfeit shares, appropriate legal actions should be taken against the responsible parties. This could involve further investigations, sanctions, or even criminal charges, depending on the severity of the violations.
Ultimately, the disclosure and examination of the blue sheets can play a crucial role in uncovering any fraudulent practices, determining the true ownership of shares, and providing a fair resolution for the investors affected by the MMTLP situation.

2023.06.04 05:42 Clean_Strategy_9533 How soon do you expect the "Final War" to begin

So a popular theory right now is Vegapunk activates Punk Records and broadcasts the truth of the World Goverment to everyone all at once, but even if he doesnt, Sabo is currently telling Dragon about Imu who will have no incentive to hide that secret from the rest of the world. Heck, Wapol could grow a pair and tell Morgans right now and the biggest of big news is out.
Imu is about to exposed, one way or another, which probably leads directly into to 2 things: Half the world joining the revolutionary army to take down Marijoa, and The World Goverment going full scorched earth and enacting their “great cleansing” tearing it all down and starting again. The final war could start very soon.
Problem is...it almost feels too soon. The Strawhats havent found the last road ponegylph, they still need to go to Elbaf to read the books and meet up with Saul, they still need to reunite with Shanks, not to mention Blackbeards place in all of this. It's hard to imagine everything right now just going back into chill mode while the Strawhats do what they gotta do.
Do you think the final war needs to wait until the Strawhats are ready? We could have it be where the war starts right now around the world, and then the Strawhats just join in at one place like Marijoa once their stuff is done, getting smaller fights out the way and building up for the good stuff.
On the other hand, that would mean we're going to be cutting between "Highly climactic endgame fights" and "Strawhats chilling with the giants" every chapter which might make it hard to care what the Strawhats are doing while so much hype is going on outside (It's already kind of happening with Egghead)
How do you see it going from here on out?

2023.06.04 05:31 feelinlikea10 Lurker here; I don't understand where the perception that Islam is becoming mainstream in Korea comes from.

I often see posts and comments that claim Islam is spreading through Korea and Japan, which is a complete lie (for Korea, I can't speak for Japan) - whether it be the kpop posts or Daud Kim videos. I'm guessing that these claims that Islam is growing in Korea come from non-Koreans because Koreans aren't active outside Korean websites and forums. So there are barely any Koreans on English-based forums and websites like Reddit. Even the Korea sub is full of expats and not the locals.
Just letting y'all know, none of us know who Daud Kim is. His audience is Muslims from other countries, not Koreans, so the subscribers and views do not come from us. We barely knew who he was before the rape controversy, but even that controversy wasn't anything major. It made very little noise.
For clarification, I don't hate Muslims but have strong feelings against the religion. The thing is, Islam, will never be mainstream in Korea. We are a homogenous country with an atheist background and no ethnic minorities that distinguish themselves from the population.
We had thousand years of Buddhist and Confucianist influence, but most of the population is irreligious, with Christianity being the most prominent religion and approximately 20% believing it. But truth be told, the only reason why Christianity was able to grow exponentially during the last 100 years is that it attached itself to the Liberation Movement when Japan colonized Korea. So there's that. But still, a lot of Koreans are firmly against Christianity, and I can't say that their public image is good.
The current perception of Islam is very negative, with the middle east being known as the region that has no rights for women, and the only news we get related to Islam is about terrorism. When 500 Yemeni refugees came to South Korea, many people protested to kick them out of the country because of the "Islamic threat." They faced a lot of discrimination, so many ended up leaving Korea. FYI, Korea is very xenophobic and even discriminates against neighboring countries like Japan and China. We do not like "others," even the Korean-Chinese people (called Joseonjok), which accumulated over a million people in this country over the past thirty years. Anyways Koreans value their culture as something significant and try to exterminate anything "other" to the population, so foreigners or other cultures far away from East Asia (esp the Middle East, North Africa, or Islam) are seen as something that needs to be eradicated.
There were refugees from countries like Yemen and Afghanistan, but their public reception has been very hostile. Also, Korea is known to be the worst country for foreign workers, so when Muslims come to Korea to work in blue-collar jobs, there's a recurring joke amongst Koreans that they eventually resort to eating pork and start drinking. Many workers from North Africa (especially Egypt) believe they should practice Ramadan. Still, they get fired from these blue-collar jobs and can't work due to them not eating during Ramadan and being too weak to work. So they end up rejecting Muslim workers who don't participate. So they go to other places like factories, where the Korean factories are NOTORIOUS for underpaying and even trapping Koreans to prevent them from running away. Hell, they don't even feed 'em properly. The factories are living hell in a fundamental sense. So they become desensitized to what's "haram" like drinking and eating pork. When they become de-islamized, they return to blue-collar jobs and forget about Ramadan. Allah gave up on this country during the King Sejong era. Islam just isn't compatible with Korean culture and people.
Truth be told, we are a fucked country with a wildly conservative, racist, and xenophobic population, but I do not see Islam growing in this country like ever. If anything, it's the Chinese that will take over this country. So this premise that "Islam is growing in Korea" is just bullshit - it's the foreign workers and students that come here to work and study that's praying in the mosques. The Mosques in Itaewon are filled with foreigners, and less than 10% of the people praying there are Korean. 99% of the Muslim population are foreigners, so that should tell you everything about the lies that Islam is growing in Korea. They don't even account for 1% of the population. Muslims from the Middle East and North Africa aren't even the majority of foreigners living in this Country - it's mostly the people from China, Vietnam, and other countries in Southeast Asia that account for the majority. Most children with a non-Korean background come from Thai, Cambodian or Vietnamese mothers in rural regions (unfortunately, old men procreate through mail-order brides.)
Hope this gives you a little bit of a perspective that a Korean has about the topics surrounding "Korea and Islam."

I’ve got a few hair and beard mods installed and went into creation kit to edit him to my liking, but after I save my changes and load the game he still looks like this. Any advice? The changes loaded once, and then I went back into CK to remove a moustache from Brand-Shei, and Bryn is back rocking the look of my ex-boyfriend’s dad.

How pissed do you think Famy will be that Dillon got a headshot and she didn’t?
Paused the episode and explained Famy to my husband. He then pointed out the irony that she didn’t get a headshot for the documentary. 😂

2023.06.04 05:15 veryanxiousopossum My (23f) partner (23m) and I are bored by long distance, any thoughts?

We’ve been together for 8 months, mostly long distance (UK and US). We have an incredibly safe, loving, and stable relationship and we can both really see a long term future together. Even with the crazy distance, I feel like we’re such a good fit for each other and we’re really deeply in love!
I’m moving out to the UK in august for school and we’re both super excited to be together again, but we just talked today about how we feel king of caught up in the drudgery of having a stable long distance relationship. Recently life has been super stressful for both of us so we’ve both been spending a lot of time being emotionally supportive of each other. Sometimes we watch a show or a movie together, but it sucks not being able to do any activities together. We call each other every day and talk about our days and stuff, but I’m not sure what to do to help get us out of this rut before August.
Any ideas please!!

2023.06.04 05:13 EfficiencyMoist1555 Can I be activated under state orders as a 2LT before BOLC?

I might sound stupid asking this, but as a butter bar before BOLC I embrace feeling stupid because it means I'm learning something lol.
I remember as an SMP cadet I couldn't be activated under state orders because I wasn't MOS qualified and hadn't gone to basic. I'm obviously not MOS qualified before BOLC, and during drill I've just been trying to help out and observe as much as I can. Can I be activated under state orders like during covid and the riots? My old unit I was SMP with was all activated during that time and as a cadet I was just left out of it to twiddle my thumbs at home and wish I was getting that sweet delicious active pay. As a 2LT before BOLC I've essentially just been a King of Cadets, the Marquis of Retards, feeling like a shit bag and just trying as hard as I can to learn and assist. If a random tornado strikes and I'm left in the dust as the unit is activated that would be stinky.

Hair Color: Orange and Red, sometimes changes color depending on his mood, a trait he got from his mother.
Distinct Physical Characteristics: Has a bevy of scars all over his arms, legs, and chest from the Redirection Surgery, covers them with compression bands and a shirt.
Quirk: Inner Inferno.
Quirk Type: Emitter.
Quirk Description: Using his breathing, Renaru can generate flames from his hands and feet! This quirk can also conduct flames through weapons that he can hold and other weapons! But the drawback is quite severe. He can run out of breath and needs a few minutes to get it back. As well as an intense physical drawback known as Quirk Palsy.
As an added insult to injury, Renaru's Quirk Redirection Surgery made his flames work in concert with his heartbeat, meaning that if he somehow has the fire in his heart die, he dies. Thusly, if he were to have his quirk taken, it'd kill him.
During the warmer seasons, his hair which is usually glowing with his flames, is put out to avoid overheating. His mother does the same thing.
Quirk Palsy: A rare dysfunction in quirks that inhibits the user through usually harmful and detrimental ways. Very similar to normal disabilities like Cerebral Palsy, although it's more commonly genetic. In Renaru's case, Inner Inferno as it was when he was little would've killed him through burning him from the inside out. As a result of the Quirk Redirection Surgery his arms and legs are weakened and the muscles need stretching. Not only that but it gives him an unsteady gait and shaking hands, making it harder to button things or zip things. Although, he can learn.
Personality: A very headstrong and passionate young man with an unbeatable will and 'Everything will be okay!' outlook on life. However, his confidence hides his rather... naïve traits. He seems to get along well with anyone he meets, but he is prone to intense bouts of anger. Not only that but he has an ever-present need to prove himself to anyone. He has a kind soul and always sees the best in everyone, much to his family and friends's fears and worries.
Renaru's worst trait has to be that he never gives up or gives in. No matter what happens and even if he's close to death he pushes himself further, because in the words of Rocky Balboa...
"It's not about how hard ya hit, it's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward."
He has a strong moral compass and tries his best to be the best hero he can be. He also refuses assistance with things he's working on in Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy.
His worst fear is losing anyone he loves. Also water, he is DEATHLY afraid of water. He has an EXTREME hatred of those who treat him as weak and unequal that aren't his friends. He's okay when he knows they come from a place of genuine concern.
Likes: His mother, Tempura, Manga, Ibara.
Dislikes: Being held up or being helped, falling, and water.
Motivation for being a Hero: He wants to help his mother by making enough money for her to live comfortably when she's older, also to prove that guys like him can make it to the big leagues.
***
Backstory: Renaru was born to Tekka and Akihito Kaenshita, with her being the younger sister of Endeavor and Akihito being a son of a long line of mercenaries that stretch back to the days of the Feudal Era.
The same day he was born was the day Akihito was arrested for his mercenary activities, leaving Tekka to raise her son by herself. While she was raising him, she became a member of I-Island's R and D department so that Renaru's band costs could be free of charge as well as surgeries.
Also, while living in a tiny neighborhood, he became friends with Ibara Shiozaki, who would later become his best friend and love interest. Of course, he gets referred to UA for his future schooling and ends up in the Special Exam.
***
Note on how he got into UA:
UA has Special Exams for kids like him.
There're only two special slots in the entire school among the Heroics Classes. The examination is run by Ectoplasm and is evaluated by the two main hero class teachers.
Every year, they have at least two candidates like Renaru, and the exam is actually pretty easy in comparison to the other exams the Recommends and the Standard students have to take. It's basically a Written Exam and then the Quirk Assessment and a Condition Assessment.
To compare the Heroics Class slots to the Gen Studies and Support, it's way smaller.
Gen Studies has a lot of students with this condition.
Support has four.
Heroics, as part of an initiative in the higher levels in the Hero Public Safety Commission, has generously (read: Begrudgingly.) opened up two slots for each entering hero class. Aizawa of course picks the less obvious one of the two, while Vlad King is stuck with Renaru.
***
Gear.
Most of his gear brings out his latent potential.
His bands increase his strength so he can hit harder and move better.
  1. Alpha is thick, more padded. Limited movement for maximum support.
  2. Beta is less so, allowing for more flexibility and movement.
  3. Gamma is like they aren't there, there's barely any issues with stability or movement.
His sword is the only weapon that can properly guide his flames, as it has for generations of Kaenshita swordsmasters. His armor is lightweight but hard enough for impacts to not injure him too badly.
Relationship with Family.
Tekka Kaenshita: His mother and him are extremely close. Being the only parent around in his life constantly, Tekka is extremely protective and quick to anger. Although she means well whenever she protects her boy, she has to understand that she can't keep protecting him forever. She loves him more than anything or anyone else, often deciding things without his permission.
Akihito Kaenshita: Renaru only had pictures to go off when he was a kid, only his mother would visit his father in Tartarus and not really tell Renaru why he had to stay away. He's used to not having a father in his life and why start now if he's chosen the prison lifestyle?
Enji Todoroki: Renaru's Uncle on his mother's side. Estranged. They don't like each other and possibly never will. Feels like he needs to prove himself to his uncle to even get a foot in the door in the hero world.
Shoto Todoroki: Estranged Cousins. Renaru and Shoto are cordial to each other but it's clear that they both were raised differently. They're two sides of the same coin, but they spend little time together.

Thanks and Credits in the Comments Section due to LONG chapter.
Chapter 31: A Whale of a Tale and it’s All True
“IT’S FUCKING J-POD!”
Kalai watched in shock and awe as the two humans collectively lost their minds, hopping up and down and letting loose a series of high pitched vocalizing as she, Papa, and Mama Sakalbi stared in confusion at the two ecstatic aliens.
Andy turned and ran back to where Kalai and her parents were still staring in amazement and held his hand out, face alight and happier than she’d ever seen him before. “Binoculars! Quick! I want to see who’s out there!” Mama Sakalbi tentatively held them out, and he took them with a nod of thanks before rushing back to the bow. Kalai started as he jumped up on the bow and balanced against the roller horns to spot the black and white whales that were swimming fast towards the net.
“Eyes on Mama Shachi! Look, over there, see her?” Kalai approached cautiously as Andy pointed in the direction of a cluster of porpoising black shapes that were coming nearer.
“Eyes on! I got Grammie Slick out there too; the WHOLE POD’S HERE!” Jackie cut loose an undulating cry and waved her hands as little geysers of water and air shot out from the water on the other side of the net.
Kalai nearly jumped when a miniature version of the Orcas from the clone tank at Headquarters breached the water, leaping almost twice her height into the air before splashing back down in a massive wave.
“Look at that! Butterball’s getting some good air these days!” Andy crowed as he hopped back down from the bow and passed the binoculars to Jackie.
“Butterball?” Mama Sakalbi asked as she and Papa joined them. Kalai stared as the Orcas formed a line and charged at the middle of the ‘S’ bend in the net before diving down in front of it, sending a wave that pushed the corks back. She saw the spouts and the dorsal fins rise again for another charge at the net.
“He’s the baby, only about four years old. Grammie Slick’s taking the family hunting, see how they’re flattening the net out? We’re about to have a great fucking day!” Andy took Jackie’s shotgun and took it back to the cabin as Kalai and her parents crowded the rail.
“What are they doing?” Mama Sakalbi’s question was directed at Jackie and the woman turned to answer with a gigantic smile.
“Herding! See the ones circling around the net?” Jackie pointed to the two dorsal fins that were almost invisible in the fog that was starting to burn off in the morning sun that had started to clear the eastern mountains. “They’ll be starting to round up small schools of salmon once they’re done turning our net into a reef. Right now, they’re running along the line and probably seeing what they have to work with.”
Mama Sakalbi did a double take, “You must be joking, that level of intelligence would almost be-”
“Human?” Jackie interrupted with a smile, “Yeah, that’s our original teachers out there. We learned to fish from them.”
“I was going to say ‘sentient’, but I take your point. What I want to know is, what are they doing?” Mama Sakalbi gestured out at them, with a bewildered look on her face.
“They’re using the net as a sea wall. Thing is, the net’s hard to see in the water, but the fish can feel it. They’ll put their heads into the net, but that doesn’t catch them. They’ll try to swim around it so that’s why we put an ‘S’ bend. That’s where most of the fish get tangled.” Andy returned and picked up the explanation. “See in the center of the line? That fin with the black and white little checkmark behind it? That’s Grammie Slick, the Matriarch. She’s around sixty now, and grew up out here LONG before you all came down. They don’t always do this, but I guess with you all keeping the fishing fleets docked, she saw the net and wanted a big meal for the family. They’re going to keep pushing the net until it’s in the shape of a crescent and herd a bunch of small schools into a big baitball with pickets to keep the fish pinned in the middle. You watch, there’ll be salmon jumping all over in the middle as they school up.”
“That’s when you’ll see them charge up the center and take big old mouthfuls of salmon. It’ll be a smorgasbord for ‘em!” Jackie pulled up Andy’s omnipad and started recording.
“Wait, but you hate seals for competing with you for food, why are you this excited about Orcas who take so much more?” Papa asked as he also took out his omnipad and started recording as the pod of Orcas finished repositioning their net just as Andy described.
“Because they’re using the nets as a reef to trap the fish! See? Look! There they go! The wolves are out scaring every salmon in the area here!” Kalai dug her own omnipad out at Andy’s words and watched as the dorsal fins sank below the waves, with only a faint and fading wake to tell where they’d gone.
“Now watch ‘em set pickets! They’re going to start patrolling the outside of the net. When they get enough salmon in the middle, they’re going to charge. When they do, watch the entire middle section of our corks go under from the salmon trying to get away. They get whole heaping mouthfuls of food and we get a full net!”
Kalai watched the Orcas swimming in circles around the net like Helix Sharks, and felt a pang of fear seeing the big predators that seemed so gentle and inquisitive in the tank. “But what if they get caught in the net?”
Jackie suppressed a laugh before sweeping an arm out at the net. “I’ve never seen that happen before, and I haven’t even heard of it happening before… at least not here in the Salish Sea. All our Orcas grew up around these nets, so they’ll either avoid them or use them like they are right now.”
“I think it’s because they can see them and the fish can’t. Either way, we’re in for a show!” Andy patted Kalai on the back before pushing Kalai and Mama Sakalbi forward.
For a long while, the surface was calm, save for the circling Orcas as they all watched. Then, by degrees, there was movement on the surface of the water as fish the length of Kalai’s arm started to jump and kick in the baitball. Kalai watched, fascinated, as Orcas seemed to appear and disappear along the edges but never approached the middle of the net.
All the fins disappeared from the surface and an eerie stillness settled over the water. Suddenly, the water in the middle of the crescent erupted, with hundreds of fish shooting out of the water and a sudden surge that hit and pushed the corks outward before they sank completely out of sight. Jackie and Andy started vocalizing those strange undulating cries again, raising their fists in the air before shouting something in their language. From as best as Kalai could guess, it was encouragement as the Orcas started breaching and jumping. In those moments, Kalai could catch glimpses of their mouths full of salmon.
Kalai watched as the terrified fish swarmed towards the net, and watched as many seemed to jump over it and swim away as the Orcas gorged themselves on the enormous school of salmon they had trapped. It was an awe inspiring sight to see, and Kalai lost herself in the moment watching the amazing display of symbiotic hunting and fishing between them and the Orcas.
The engine of the boat turning over broke the spell they were all under as Andy moved the boat at a dead slow pace back towards the net. “Alright, let’s haul it in and reset for ‘em! Jackie! Get on the bow with the billhook!” Jackie whooped in agreement and gently pushed passed Kalai to grab a long pole with a small metal hook at the end.
“We’re gonna have to work fast. They’re hungry, and we all want salmon today,” Andy called over the sound of the engine as they approached the giant buoy that marked the end of the net. “Doc! Open that hatch back there and watch your step! Mrs. Vaida, stand clear in the cabin; I want no accidents today, and three on deck’s going to be a crowd with how many fish we’re going to be taking in. Kalai, I want you back in the-”
Kalai shook her head as she put her omnipad away. “I can do it! Let me help!” she was riding the high feeling of watching the Orcas, and seeing Andy and Jackie preparing to go to work while she was to be just a passenger galled her.
Kalai saw Andy give Jackie a look that she couldn’t quite interpret. “Alright, but you’ll work with me picking fish. Jackie, you’re on the Drum; trade places with me!”
Kalai saw Jackie huff and give Andy a piercing look as she handed off the billhook. “Watch out for jellies, they tend to explode,” the native woman muttered to Kalai as she took over at the net drum’s controls. Kalai was about to volunteer to grab the line with the hook, given her longer reach, but Andy had already leaned almost all the way over the side. Kalai had a momentary scare as Andy seemed to dip forward, seemingly in danger of falling overboard, until he seemed to almost levitate himself using his lower legs back into the boat and pulled the line over the roller horns. She stood there for a moment, unsure of what to do when Andy braced a foot against the side and began to pull on the line and feed it back towards Jackie.
“Way, haul away, we’ll hang and haul together! Way, haul away, haul away Joe!”
Though she didn’t understand the words, Kalai knew a sailing song when she heard one and didn’t wait for any instruction. She moved forward opposite Andy and lent a hand, pulling the heavy line in to the cadence of his chant. After two verses, Kalai heard the whine of hydraulics and the slack in the line behind them went taught.
“Stand back! Here we go!” Andy called to her and the line began pulling the net back aboard. Kalai looked back to see that Jackie had wrapped the line around the center pole of the drum, with the wheel turning to pull the line and net in out of the water. A small set of guide poles that moved when Jackie twitched the controls kept the line evenly distributed on the drum as the first corks and the dripping wet net began to appear out of the water.
“Put your hoods up!” Andy yelled at her over the noise of the machines, and demonstrated the motion. “It’ll keep the water, seaweed and Jellies out of your face and eyes, and take this!” Andy tossed her what appeared to be a handkerchief and he mimed the act of tying it around her face like a mask.
“What about you? You’re sleeveless!” Kalai’s voice was slightly muffled from the cloth as she tied it around her face before pulling up both hoods.
Andy didn’t respond, except to grin at her as he leaned out to watch the net coming up out of the water before it got pulled aboard.
From behind her, Kalai heard Jackie start singing another human sailing song. It was a bit fast paced, and Andy joined in for the chorus. On the third time she heard it, she joined in too.
“Blow ye winds in the mornin’, Blow ye winds, high ho! Haul away your running gear, And blow ye winds, high ho!
“Coming up!” Andy shouted as there were several loud thunks before six large salmon appeared in the giant fluorescent green tangle of the net. The drum stopped, bringing the fish to a halt as Andy pulled on the corkline and scurried his hands back and forth, gathering the net up as he did until he reached the first fish. Kalai watched in awe as he seemed to magically pull the fish from the tangle and shake it out onto the deck. The second one seemed to be resting on top of the tangle and he flipped it over the corkline and shook the fish out onto the deck.
“Just watch these first few. When you get a feel for how I’m doing this, jump in. Until then, slide these beauties back towards the stern. Jackie’ll pitch ‘em into the hold.”
Kalai nodded and watched Andy’s movements intently. It looked like sorcery, with how fast he moved his hands and zeroed in on a fish. As soon as he was done, he’d whistle to Jackie, who kept singing the cadence out to pull more of the net in, only to stop when more fish were pulled up and over the horns.
The song changed twice before Kalai felt confident enough to jump in. She almost got tangled in the net herself trying to pull out her first fish, but Andy gave the net a quick tug and she was free again. Maddeningly, the fish had simply fallen out of the net without any help from her, and she fumed just long enough for Andy to point to one that was closer to her.
“Hoist up the thing, batten down the whatsit! What’s that thing spinning, somebody should stop it! Turn hard to Port! That’s not Port, NOW I GOT IT! Trust me, I’m in control!”
On the second refrain, Kalai managed to dig her first fish out and drop it to the deck. She let out a whoop, and Andy paused for a moment to give her a quick applause.
“That’s one, girl! There’s a thousand left if we’re lucky!” Jackie called out as Andy sang a verse and tackled another fish in the net.
“Keep an eye on the lead line; make sure it doesn’t go over the corks!” Andy called as Kalai ran down her second fish and was about to throw the excess net over the other side. She stopped, and Andy helped her get the fish without tangling the net.
It took until the end of the song for Kalai to find her rhythm, and soon she and Andy were running down fish in the net in a crisp and quick manner. Kalai felt like she could go faster, but Andy had cautioned her to keep pace with the songs, as there was still a lot of net to go. When Kalai spared a glance at the length of net still in the water, she saw that Andy wasn’t kidding. It looked like they hadn’t even really started to reel it all in. Ok, it’s hard work, but so is sailing, and he’s my size so I should be able to keep up with him. If he can do it, I can do it!
“Haul away you rollin’ kings! Heave away, Haul away! Haul away you’ll hear me sing, We’re bound for South Australia!”
Andy was impressed. Kalai had jumped in without complaint, and she was very coachable. He could feel himself start to flag as they were starting to come to the last third of the net, but Kalai’s persistence, even though she was sweatier and more haggard than he was, kept him going.
The pile of salmon was almost as deep as their calves, and the deck was getting slick with fish slime. For that matter, so was Andy. In a momentary lull in the fish coming over the horns, Andy caught a glimpse of himself shimmering with all the scales that had flown off the fish as they scraped against the net to hit the deck, flopping. He took a big gulp of air and Kalai groaned as she straightened up, cracking her back as she twisted and bent to relieve her aching muscles.
Andy groaned a bit and looked back towards the stern. It was getting hard to see over the amount of net they’d pulled back in, but he could see Doc and Mrs. Vaida doing their best to help throw and shove the piles of salmon into the hold. Everybody’s getting their hands dirty today. Andy smiled and heaved a happy sigh. This, this is what I want. Being out on the water and doing good, hard work.
“SHIT, JELLYFISH!” Kalai shouted as she twisted away to hide her face behind her rain slicker hood. Andy blinked just in time as a wet squelching sound sent a spray of disintegrating jellyfish exploding all over the bow as the net bunched up and got squeezed together.
Andy felt it splatter all over his arms, neck, and face, before he felt it start to slide down his shirt to his chest. Almost immediately, he started to feel the burn. His arms, neck, and chest he could stand, but the blossoming pain on his lips, eyelids, cheeks, and most horribly the inside of his nose overwhelmed all his conditioned pain tolerance.
“FUCK!” Andy screamed. “FUCKING FUCKER! RIGHT IN MY FUCKING FACE! GOD FUCKING DAMNIT! FUCK!” Andy only barely avoided bringing his hands to his face. It was a hard fought thing to deny his instinct to try and scrape it off, but he felt his boots loose purchase and his feet slide out from under him. He hit the pile of fish that surrounded him hard. He was aware of Kalai yelling for her father and Mrs. Vaida, while Jackie’s braying laugh carried over everything else.
Andy felt Kalai trying to grab him, but her gloves were too slick to get a grip and all she did was spread the stingers more evenly over his arms. Andy kept his eyes squeezed shut as he heard Jackie start to direct the confused and panicking aliens.
“Hold your breath, cuz, vinegar incoming!”
Andy felt the bitter stinging splash as Jackie poured a steady stream of vinegar out from what he assumed was the giant jug he kept for these occasions underneath the little kitchenette in the cabin. Though nothing about the intensity of the burn changed, in the back of his mind, Andy knew that it was killing the stinging cells.
“Alright, Kally, take that bucket and fill it with seawater from over the side, then dump it on him.”
Andy sputtered a bit and spit as he scrabbled onto his knees. He steadied himself with one hand on the rail beside him and the other which found the corkline. He kept his eyes shut and growled as the burning spread from his hairline down to his navel. A sudden bracing splash of cold water nearly bowled him back over. Without warning, Andy hadn't had time to get a breath and he sputtered and yowled as the water soaked down under his rain gear.
Andy shook his head like a dog, whipping his braid back and forth before daring to open his eyes. “Son of a BITCH!” Andy growled as he got a look at Kalai holding an empty bucket, while Jackie was shoo’ing Mrs. Vaida and Dr. He’osforos away to give him some room.
“Jesus, quit your bawlin,’ you big baby, you’re acting like you’ve never been stung before!” Jackie called back to him as Andy ripped the gloves off his hands and plunged them over the side to clean off the stingers.
“It’s in my fucking nose you horse’s ass!” Andy shouted back as he splashed his face. A few strings of purple stingers fell into the water and Andy reared back aboard. “Ugh, get another bucket of seawater! I can still feel this shit!”
“Andrei, as a medical professional, I advise you to cease work and-”
Andy looked over as Dr. He’osforos spoke but waved him off mid sentence. “I appreciate it Doc, but I’ve had it far worse than this. There’s a brown and yellow bottle in one of the drawers under the bench that says ‘Motrin’. Get me the bottle or enough to tranq a cow, and I’ll go back to work just fine.”
Kalai let loose a piercing scream and Andy looked over just in time to see her rocketed herself backwards, dropping the bucket over the side. The Doctor caught his daughter before she fell into the hold, but he too had a look of fear plastered on his face. Andy and Jackie moved to the side to see what had scared her so badly, and the two of them couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Grammie Slick and two of her daughters were there, sticking their heads out of the water with their mouths open, while Butterball was playing with the bucket.
Jackie laughed and stuck her hand out, rubbing the Orca matriarch on the snout. “Raggedy Andy’s fine, Grammie Slick! He’s just milking it for sympathy from these gullible hwun’eetums!”
What in the Balance of Nature is going on here?” Mrs. Vaida’s shocked voice caused Andy and Jackie to look at her as she stared dumbfounded at the Orcas that were gathering alongside the boat.
“Oh they’re just saying ‘hi.’” Andy shrugged with a smile, despite the burning.
“More like ‘What the hell, cousins, you still got fish to pick. Quit loafin’ around and get another set in!’”
“Jackie, MotrinNOW!” Andy growled at her. Jackie blew a raspberry at him before diving into the cabin.
“They’re pretty friendly, if you’d like to be introduced,” Andy held out a hand and motioned for Kalai and her father to step forward. Andy dipped his hand in again to make sure it was clear of any stinging cells, before he gently guided the hesitant Kalai to stick her ungloved hand out toward Grammie Slick.
One of the daughters blew a spout before sliding back under water, but Grammie gave a few clicks before briefly touching Kalai’s outstretched hand. “Kalai, this is Grammie Slick, Matriarch of J-Pod. Grammie, this is Kalai… a purple hwun’eetum.” Andy laughed a bit at the look of incredulity on Kalai’s face and the concern on her father’s.
There was a series of shutter clicks from behind Andy, and he turned to see Sakalbi snapping pictures as fast as she could. Kalai was clearly torn between fear and wonder as she held perfectly still and silent for Grammie, who was letting her touch her before she slid back under the water herself. Andy laughed as several clicks and whistles from the pod reverberated through the hull of the boat and he leaned back in.
“Alright, break’s over,” Andy called as he caught the flying bottle of pills Jackie threw at him. He popped two and swallowed them dry before washing the gloves off and putting them on. The extra rinse would have to wait, and he’d have to tough it out until they got back to shore. His boots squelched as he picked his way through the fish on the deck to get back to his station and nodded for Jackie to restart the drum.
It was another twenty minutes before the last of the net was pulled aboard and they were able to clear away all the fish into the hold. Andy stuck his head in and smiled. In a single set, they’d filled three quarters of it, and they had more than enough fish for the gathering and to feed another ten to fifteen families besides. The spouts and the clicks of J-Pod hanging around the boat, however, told Andy that they wanted their reef back and were still hungry.
Andy ordered them to prep the net for another set and helmed his boat again, only to bomb out in a straight line and let J-Pod take care of the fishing from that point on. Once they’d finished, Andy moved the boat out of the Orcas’ way and stood outside the cabin with Jackie while the three aliens crowded the bow, watching and recording the whales going to work a second time.
“Ok, I think we might get a moment to talk,” Andy muttered to Jackie in Salishian. “New orders from the Council. There’s going to be a raid.”
Jackie sucked in a breath and looked at him, all levity gone. “Cambrians, Militia, or the Dummy Bunnies?”
“Militia and the Interior.”
Jackie whistled softly in surprise as her eyebrows shot up. “Really poking the bear, cuz… When and where?”
“Uncle Willy wants us to hit the Militia Supply Depot out by Tanner on Saturday,” Andy growled quietly as he watched Kalai pointing to Grammie Slick’s dorsal as she swam out on the picket around the net.
“You mean the one close to the Snoqualmish?”
“Yeah. Full raid, we’re to hit it and take any supplies, especially military, that we can and destroy what we can’t. The messier we can make it the better. We’ll meet up with the Resistance on the old Bessemer Logging road by Hancock Creek and they get half for taking the credit. Me and Chuck’ve been assigned to ‘lead’ you.” Andy nodded and tried to flick some of the fish scales off himself, but got nowhere.
Jackie sat down on the rail with a groan before looking back up at him with a smirk. “You mean babysit on overwatch while we do the real work.”
Andy pursed his numb lips together and considered the ramifications of folding his arms on the jellyfish burns that had started to go quiet thanks to the Motrin. “Grandma and the Council want me to ‘get my hands dirty.’” He gritted his teeth in frustration.
“What? I’m sorry, that sentence made zero sense.” Jackie shook her head like she’d just been slapped.
Andy couldn’t keep the frustration and anger out of his tone when he spoke. “Apparently there are doubts about my loyalty to the tribe and whether or not I’ve lost my way.”
Jackie huffed in amusement. “Everyone knows the Council’s fucking stupid, but this is a new level of dumb. You got us land back, you got them to allow you to break the rules to feed our people, they’re fixing the fuck ups on our waterways because of you and they think you’ve gone to the dark side?” Jackie started laughing at the nonsense of the politics.
“Last time we talked, you thought I was playing with fire and-” Andy started to throw back at her before she snorted loudly.
“Results talk, cuz. Three of our Hatcheries returned, and my whole family drawing good money in Imperial Credits? Fuck, even if you had sold out, we need more Clan Heads doing the same thing.” She smiled as she nodded towards their guests on the bow.
“They still don’t trust that I know what I’m doing,” Andy growled as he folded his arms unconsciously and immediately regretted it.
Jackie snorted. “Of course they don’t. You didn’t talk to them or get their permission first. Hell, I’m surprised your grandma didn’t chuck you out on your ear for even suggesting that you should work for the dummy bunnies.” Jackie stretched and hopped up and around Andy to grab a water bottle. “But it’s working out. There’s land being returned, money in our hands, and food about to be on our table. You’re doin’ what a Chief is supposed to do.”
Andy scoffed and started to object. “I’m no Chief-”
Jackie gave his shoulder a slap and grinned evilly as a starburst of pain and burning cut through the painkillers, shutting Andy up mid-protest. “You keep saying you aren’t, but that don’t make it true.” She resumed her seat as Andy fought the yowl of pain back so as not to give her the satisfaction. “I mean, case in point, what are you going to do with all these fish Grammie’s catching for us right now?”
Andy blinked a few times as he regained his composure and thought seriously about his answer. “We’ll pull fifteen for the gathering they got invited to… Then all the fish you can pack into the truck goes to the Exiles. The rest? I’ll call Chuck and get some folks from the Council to claim the rest and distribute it to the families that need it.”
Jackie deepened her voice and adopted a cowboy drawl. “He never eats until he sees the pots are full of meat in the lodges of the widows and orphans-”
“That’s Comanche Law, not Salish, and that’s from a John Wayne movie, you ass.” Andy huffed and Jackie giggled wickedly, flipped him off.
“Still haven’t refuted my point, cuz.” Jackie’s singsong voice caused Andy to glare spitefully at her, until she raised her hands defensively. “Alright, you’re not a Chief. So, Not Chief Tsu’titsi’uqw; you need to get your hands dirty and lead a raid. I’ll scrape up what we need and scout the target. You just meet up with us Saturday night at the Snoqualmish Casino and I’ll put a gun in your hands. Don’t worry, we’ll only get dirty enough to make the Council happy.”
“I’ll be a bit late; I’m escorting them to the Hwatcom Family Gathering on Friday.” Andy took a step back as Jackie stood up and twisted a bit to stretch out.
“No surprise there, grandpa’s an old school traditional Indian. They’re dummies, but they’re trying to do right by us, finally. Again, thanks to you, Chie-” Andy slapped the back of her head hard and growled at her, but she just started laughing, making him even madder.
“Alright, enough. Let’s get on the bow and not look like we’re sketchy Indians plotting to attack an Imperial fort.” Andy snarled, shoving her past him while she just kept laughing.
Andy stomped forward, aware of the wet sounds his boots made as he walked. Kalai turned and smiled at him as he moved to stand beside her and her father. “So how are they doing out there?”
“They just started their attack. This is fascinating! Their coordination, their ingenuity, and adaptation to human activity is astounding! I wish I had brought observation drones!” Sakalbi was glued to the binoculars and holding her omnipad up while she muttered observations into the speaker. Andy was content to watch as the pod put on a repeat performance and the net sagged again until they all came up and started swimming lazily around the net and the boat. All of them except Butterball and one of his older brothers. The two seemed to be getting into a jumping contest.
“He’s feeling a bit hyper. Must be nice to be full,” Jackie commented as the two whales took turns jumping out of the water and twisting in the air. Andy smiled and nodded and felt a hand go to his shoulder. He looked down and saw it was Kalai making eyes at him. Andy hid the grimace at the burn and gave her a wink.
“That one’s getting closer, should we be concerned?” Andy looked over at Dr. He’osforos and Kalai quickly moved her hand as they watched Butterball getting closer and closer with each jump.
Jackie hopped up and straddled the railing as Andy and Kalai shared a concerned look. Jackie hooked a hand around one of the roller horns and peered down into the water. “I don’t think so, I mean he knows we’re-”
The sudden appearance of a flying adolescent Orca only a scant few feet away from the boat right next to the lot of them cut Jackie off. Most of them only had enough time to watch the little playful bastard hang in the air for a moment before he twisted to almost shoulder punch the water as he came back down. Andy had just enough presence of mind to pull Kalai and her father down, and braced himself as the plume of water rose from where Butterball landed.
“Oh shi-” Andy heard Jackie say before water cascaded down on them and drenched them all, sending the boat rocking violently.
It took a moment for Andy to recover and he helped the two Shil back to their feet. “Quick check, is everyone alright?”
“HEY! WHAT THE HELL, BUTTERBALL! GRAMMIE! YOU HAVE A TALK WITH YOUR GRANDSON! HE’S GONNA GET SOMEONE KILLED ONE OF THESE DAYS!” Jackie screamed at the water, shaking her fist.
A camera shutter sounded and a dripping wet Mrs. Vaida stood, wide eyed in fear, staring out over the water.
Andy started laughing at the sight of his boss soaked to the bone, her hair and her fur a dripping mess. “That picture right there? You can title it: ‘Angry Native Woman Yells at Whale.’”
Kalai looked like she was on Krek’s doorstep. Akil’eas knelt next to her as he finished his examination and was looking over the readings on his omnipad. His daughter sat in front of the cabin on the little step, legs splayed out in front of her while she leaned against the railing on the side of the boat. Her father stood next to her as he finished a quick check of her vitals and her viral load.
“Unsurprisingly, you’re a bit elevated, but given your numbers over the last week, that’s saying that you’ve come back up to your normal levels.” Akil’eas had been worried. When they’d hauled in the net the second time, Kalai had stayed on the bow with the boy, Andy, while Akil’eas’d stood over the human woman’s shoulder and studied the controls.
Akil’ieas had also pitched in and helped fill the hold, but when he and Sakalbi could no longer stuff them in, they’d given up and stood out of the way. His old friend and colleague had spent the rest of the time recording, either the large predators that continued to circle and play around the boat, or the seemingly inefficient fishing practice of Andy and his people. No wonder he was so big, and his brother had been that strong. It beggared belief that their people worked at that backbreaking pace for so long, but there Andy stood, proud and tall at the end of it, while he and Sakalbi struggled to stay standing.
Akil’eas had to focus on keeping his hands from shaking and retrieved another water bottle for his exhausted daughter. Andy had them moving at a slow pace back towards a different harbor from the one they’d left that morning. They’d stopped briefly at the pier they’d started from to allow Jackie to disembark. The two humans packed all the fish that couldn’t fit in the hold up to Jackie’s truck and filled the bed of it without any help. She drove off with close to a hundred fish.
Now with the deck cleared, Andy told them they were on their way to the harbor most of his Band used. The trip had been slower going than the morning had been, but only because they were riding much lower in the water than they had been.
“King Triton’s farewell,” Kalai muttered looking up. Akil’eas followed his daughter’s gaze up to see a flock of white and gray seabirds calling out loudly as they kept pace with the boat as it headed towards the docks.
“It means work’s almost over. It’s a great sound, isn’t it?” Andy called out from the cabin where he sat at the helm.
Kalai shifted herself with great effort to look around the door to the cabin. “It sounds amazing.”
The smile Andy gave Kalai caused Akil’eas to have a pang of fatherly protectiveness, and only fatigue kept the scowl off his face. “Just wait, we’ll clean a few once we’ve off-loaded to the families. Fresh salmon tonight for everyone, and I’m cooking! Doc, we’d love to have you, too.”
“I’d love to but-”
Kalai grabbed his arm and stopped him. “Trust me, Papa, you don’t want to miss it.”
Akil’eas chewed his tongue for a moment, looking from Andy to Kalai. Sakalbi caught his eye and nodded emphatically. “Alright, if you’ll allow me to help. You must be exhausted.”
Andy beamed at Akil’eas, “You won’t hear me turn down free help.”
“Vaascon fellas don’t have no frills, Haul away, haul away! They’re plain and skinny as a lodthfish gill, And we’re bound away for Vaasconia!”
Kalai sat back and started singing between sips of water. Akil’eas sat down next to her and joined in the chorus for a Vaascon sailing song. It was strange to think that these humans also sang to their sea gods to placate them and coordinate the work. What else could you expect from a sailorman? Some things call to the soul across time and evidently even the gulf space and peoples.
“So heave him up my Turry Turry girls, Haul away, haul away! Heave him up and let the sails unfurl! And we’re bound away for Vaasconia!”
Andy’s voice joining in on the chorus startled Akil’eas and Kalai and they both turned to look back at him.
He gave them another wide grin, “I started learning some of the sail songs after Kalai told me about sailing on Shil.”
“Akil’eas, a word?” Sakalbi motioned with her head towards the bow and offered him a hand up. He followed her to the bow, leaving the two children singing together.
The harbor mouth was coming up fast, and between the noise of the engine and the net drum keeping them out of sight, there was some privacy. “I’ve heard some rumors about your feelings toward humans…” Sakalbi leaned against the railing, giving him the look that every teacher and professor had when questioning a belligerent student. When Akil’eas didn’t answer her, save to throw her back his own look, she continued. “Kalai is quite taken with Andy. It’s been quite a refreshing thing to see her come out of her shell.”
“It’s a vacation romance, nothing more.” Akil’eas felt his stomach clench and couldn’t stop himself from looking back.
“I don’t think so, Akil’eas. This is the first time I’ve seen her so on thorns and thistles around anyone, much less a male. She’s been very keen around him.” The smile she gave him was a bit galling, but he had to admit, he didn’t really know Kalai as well as Sakalbi and her spouses.
“He is… I’m sure he is a very nice young man, but as a fit consort for a soon to be Duchess? No, and I’ve yet to meet a human that is.” The thought of a human becoming the next Duke He’osforos was absurd. Sure there had been the occasional non-Shil Kho-liebhaberin or even the one Duke Aurar’ian He’osforos who was a Triki, but a human? “They’re far too individualistic and self centered to rise to the responsibilities of the Peerage.”
“That’s not exactly as large a sample size as you think it is, Leas. If you had Andy in your class, or on your crew, disregarding the fact that he’s human, what would your read on him be?”
Akil’eas locked his jaw and pursed his lips, defiantly. “I don’t know.”
“Come on, Leas, you’re better than me at reading people, and I’m damn good at it.” He hated how Sakalbi’s eyes flashed and her right ear would twitch when she thought she had the upper hand in an argument. He huffed a sigh and decided to play her little game, just to humor her enough so that she’d drop the subject.
“Dependable, fastidious and competent, judging by the state of his equipment and his boat. Self sacrificing, diligent, hard working, given what I’ve observed today. He’s got a temper, but it takes a bit to get there, and he’s carrying some pretty heavy emotional scars.” He’d not seen very much of Andy, but the old Sailing Master and Professor in him started to come out and assess the boy just as he would any of his students or junior sailors.
“That’s my read, too. Doesn’t sound so individualistic and self-centered to me. Blighted Nature, Leas, from what I’ve learned about him and his people, he broke with several of their traditions and customs to help us. He’s stuck his neck out far further for us than we would have for him and his people, for no other reason than to try and save his homeland. Were he an Erbian on Myr or even back home in Vaasconia, there’d be Groom-War over his hand.”
Akil’eas was a bit piqued about her statement, “What about your daughter? Kalai made no secret about little Sitry mooning after him, and her disapproval of their courtship.”
“She thinks she’s in love, and it very well might be that she is, but Kalai’s disapproval should tell you what it tells me, given your own rather astute assessment of the man.”
“HEY DOC! TAKE THE WHEEL, I GOTTA DRUM US IN!” Andy’s voice cut their conversation short as Akil’eas turned to look back around the drum. Andy waved him back as he slowed their approach to come in. “Take us to Dock 5, straight back and to port.”
“Straight back and to larboard, aye!” Akil’eas rattled off as he traded places with Andy at the helm.
Kalai heaved herself up to stand as Andy grabbed a large leather circle and ran forward to jump up on the bow. As Akil’eas piloted the boat into the harbor and made the turn, he saw a large crowd of humans gathered on the pier and the shore. As soon as they were in sight, he watched as Andy, standing tall, began to drum a beat and vocalize, projecting his voice over the water to those on shore. Akil’eas sputtered a bit in surprise as he guided the boat slowly towards the open mooring.
“That’s their call. His family’s song lets the people on shore know who he is and that he’s friendly.” Kalai looked back at Akil’eas before moving inside the cabin to stand next to her father. “All the families know it, but only he is allowed to sing it. It’s their version of a family crest and coat of arms. Elder Hwatcom taught us about those. There’ll be a reply in a second granting us permission to come ashore.”
There was indeed a response of drumming and singing from the assembly of humans as many started to crowd forward carrying what appeared to be coolers. Andy reappeared and took the controls back and reversed to kill their forward momentum as Sakalbi threw out their mooring lines to the waiting humans. Andy killed the engine and moved quickly out of the cabin to speak in a language that Akil’eas did not recognize. There seemed to be a bit of confusion from those gathered on the dock, but Andy opened the hatch to show the hold full of fish.
“Don’t thank me, thank them. Sockeye and Kings to all comers, courtesy of the Vaidas and the Vaida Warren!” Andy shouted happily in Vatikre as he pulled two giant fish out by their gills and handed them off to the applauding humans.
Sakalbi managed to shoot Akil’eas a smug look before she plunged her hands into the mass of fish and began helping Andy hand them out to the people.

2023.06.04 03:41 GarthBrookes My base got raided on Official by glitch or hackers?

So I spent several days gathering supplies to build a solo base in the town of Myshkino on official DayZ US 2664185. I have only 250 hours in the game (all on official), and was new to base building. I decided to make my base in the southern most part of town in a garage because there were no windows for other players to peak through. I was able to gather enough base building supplies for 1 front metal gate, 2 wood gates, and 1 wall. I built the base so there was an airlock (which had enough space for a car), main loot, then explosives in the back. I had a lot of loot at this point, and relatively high hours on this character. Not to mention, the metal sheets I walked back to base, which took forever. Anyways, I had just finished cutting down trees deep in the woods, far from the base, and out of ear shot from any towns. My objective was to make more crates for the loot runs I had just made from the military camps to the west. I went back to my base, unlocked the gate, closed the garage doors, then closed and locked the gate again. I was now safe in my base, away from prying eyes. I was able to make five crates while I was crouched in my airlock. After the fifth crate, I get a black screen, then the message, "You are dead." I am unsure if it was a glitch or a hacker. Despite my growing fear of it being a hacker, I spawn several times to get a good walking distance from base. I spawn in Prigorodki, then proceed to walk the several 1000 kilometers to base. I didn't focus on looting much, as I wanted to retrieve the items from my decaying body. Still, I was able to gather enough for a working 7.62x39 rifle, and pistol. The walk back took roughly 30-45 minutes. After walking for a while, I approached the town from directly south, which was deep in the forest. As I came closer I begin to go full ninja mode, crouch running through bushes, playing in 3rd person, and taking my time to avoid being spotted. I was able to get within 100 meters of the base, but the base was still out of sight. I get tapped in the head a couple times, and I watch my body fall as my screen fades to black. Man.... It is now 1AM, and I'm tired. I call it quits there, then spawn back the next day. I run to my base from Elektrozavodsk, and approach my base from the south again. I find my base completely raided. The combination locks are gone, and you could tell they raided only the lower parts of the gate all the way to the back. Most of the loot was gone, but scraps still remained. I was able to find another combination lock, and I rebuilt the front gate. After sitting dumb struck in the base for a while, I came to a conclusion. I don't see the point of keeping the base, and frankly I am unhappy with how my character and base ended on this server. All my gear, including my 3 sets of plate carries were now no more. I want to continue to play official because modded just looks too easy. I like the feel of the official game, but these kinds of occurrences make me want to move onto other games in general. I have played many base building games (rust, ark, even archon minecraft factions back in 2017 lol), but holy cow this one takes the cake for the most difficult. I made this post not for retribution, but as a warning to all other new players looking to find enjoyment in base building. Do not put all your effort into something that can be destroyed so easily. Instead, make stashes, and spread out your loot if you still want to continue with official. I am still unsure if it was a hacker, but if it was they most likely stood in front of my gates, duped explosives, and esp killed anyone approaching from the vicinity. There isn't anything you can do to avoid this, and there is no way to even report the suspicious player. I am a firm believer in karma, and I will not stoop down to hacking myself. I recommend looking for vanilla modded servers with active admins, but it is still unlike official. In the end, I still had fun playing for those few days, and who knows maybe DayZ will get there act together, and design some kind of report system or anti-cheat. Until then, keep splitting those zombies wigs bruh!
-Also let me know what you think of this, I might just be buggin!

2023.06.04 03:37 TheMaverick333 [AskJS] What is the proper way to write a regular expression to replace string values in Excel using Javascript?

I wrote the code below to iterate through columns C to E in an Excel worksheet, retrieve regular expressions from row 2, and attempt to find matches in each text string (tempText) in column A. If a match is found, it records the match in a specific cell in a different worksheet and replaces the matched expression with a corresponding value from row 1. So based on the image below, column B would have content
B2 - Between the City Centre ! the mall
B3 - Between King Avenue #
B4 - Between Jane Station ! the Park

tempText Output ! @ #
and a point (\\d+) metres north of and a point (\\d+) metres south of and a point (\\d+) metres east of
Between the City Centre and a point 23.3 metres north of the mall
Between the City Centre ! the mall
Between King Avenue and a point 55 metres east of Between King Avenue #
Between Jane Station and a point 20 metres north of the park Between Jane Station ! the Park

Issue: The replacements are not happening and it appears javascript is not recognizing the regular expression. I am not sure how it can be re-written Here's my code
 var z = 1; 
for (let h = 3; h <= 5; h++) { const RegXX = activeWorksheet.getRow(2).getCell(h).value; const regex = new RegExp(RegXX, 'gi'); const match = tempText.match(regex); if (match) { var row3 = extracts2Worksheet.getRow(2); row3.getCell(z).value = match[0];
 //row3.getCell(z).value = txt_extracts[j]; // write the match to the "Extracts-2" worksheet tempText = tempText.replace(regex, activeWorksheet.getRow(1).getCell(h).value); z++; row3.commit(); activeWorksheet.getRow(i).getCell(1).value = tempText; } } 
I have tried writing the regular expression in different ways but nothing seems to work.

2023.06.04 03:20 Bun_Bun1226 Evil fish pool?

When I was young (Between the ages of 4-6) I had this recurring dream, where'd I'd go to a pool with random family members and after a little bit an alarm would start going off inside the pool. Everyone would get out of the pool screaming and crying. I never got out because I never understood what the alarm meant so I was always one of the few ones left in the pool after the alarm stopped. Little flaps would open on the sides of the pool, telling the pool goers the names of the fish and special abilities they had to kill the remaining people in the pool. I don't remember most of there talents but I know that one of them was a fish that only had to blink once every 30 minutes, and was really fast but, had terrible eyesight and could only see you if you're moving. Another one was a pair of 2 kinda slow fish that mirrored eachothers movements. They were just a little slower than the humans in the pool but we're good at cornering the pool goers inside of the circle they would make while mirroring each other and slowly move in and murk you. I remember that every time I dreamed of a fish pool, there were 3 fish you had to survive, each one getting harder each time.
I only have a clear memory of one of them, that of which being the last time I dreamed of a fish pool. Me and my close family went to a restaurant in a mall and there was a small L shaped pool people would chill at in the middle of the mall. I was in the pool and the alarms went off and my family was screaming practically Begging me to get out of the pool asap. But I didn't because I didn't think anything bed would happen. sudden a Goblin? (I think it's a Goblin, it was a short green humanoid) landed on all surrounding restaurant tables and killed the people if they tried to leave restaurant grounds, after narrowly surviving death by the fish I got out and my entire family ran towards the exit of the building by the end of the dream 6 of my family members were killed and only me, my grandma, and my uncle were still alive.
I remember having the dream a total of 3-5, times. I don't know if it means anything or if it was my over active child brain. I just felt I needed to tell someone my weird kindergarten age dreams. They were dark for a child, if it helps by that age I had trauma, my apartment had burned down because a drunk person smoked then fell asleep mid smoking and the building was caught on fire. Everyone I knew was okay, but the drunk person had died and I remember seeing his dead body (not covered in a white sheet or anything) being brought to the ambulance. That experience semi explained why when people died I the fish pool the gore was kinda accurate. I don't know what I want from sharing this dream but if it means something I would like to know.

2023.06.04 03:17 PomegranateGreen765 I'm planning on killing myself because i'm not a social media tiktok pretty boy

Yea. Before assuming that i'm overexaggerating, i'm not. I'm actually a 100% serious about this. For the past 2 years i've been obsessing with comparing myself to handsome chads & pretty boys from tiktok & instagram that get hundreds of girls and people responding to their posts with heart emojis & comment about how attractive they are, how desperate they are to hook up with the guy because of his perfect looking face.
The reason i'm doing this is because they live the dream life that i so desperately want and wish for but can never have. All my life i've been an ugly introvert that can't connect with people out of fear of what they will think about my ugly face whenever i'm speaking to them. See, the thing is i've been born ugly and deformed and it always kind of bothered me but not nearly as much compared to 3 years ago cuz that's when my BDD started. I started to hyperfocus on the fact that people in general treat me far different compared to a handsome guy/pretty boy.
Those pretty boys that get all the attention from the opposite sex, get treated by society like they're kings because of their attractive "cute" face, that aren't lonely and have tons of friends and girls that want to connect with them, experience intimaticy sex and romance, basically experience natural euphoria by self love because of how good their faces look. They absolutely live the type of fantastic life that i can only dream about.
I've been called ugly sooo many times i lost count. I've never been in a relationship and i'm still a virgin at 22 years old. I'm extremely lonely 24/7 and all i do is fantasize because my face is too ugly. I have no friends, i barely communicate with people because of my bdd and anxiety, i'm in my room most of the day because i'm too ugly to be seen because i am below average looking ugly. Every single girl i've tried connecting with in real life tries to avoid me and ignore me.
There's no goddamn point to live when you're an deformed looking guy and not an extremely good looking guy. There's no goddamn point to live when everyone treats you different because of being ugly and below average. There's no point to live when you're not having an active social life because you're unable to form connections because of being that hideous.
I'm a miserable lonely ugly piece of shit with unfortunate circumstances and that's what my legacy will be.
Yea i'm killing myself, it's over.

Summary

Biden allegedly sabotaged Zaporizhia nuclear power plant to melt down, to stop the Russian invasion and justify NATO peacekeepers.
Here was Biden's plan to avoid another Kabul:
Hopefully Russia has succeeded in resupplying ZNPP's diesel fuel, but the situation at ZNPP remains critical.
In the latest development, Kiev allegedly tested a nuke in a borehole, and Russia retaliated by striking the Ukro military intelligence headquarters, dispelling the illusion of Patriot missile air defense. Russia's willingness to escalate to decapitation of leadership may be why Zelensky is spending time abroad. NATO is allegedly expanding the war into Moldova to invoke Article 5.

Russo-China rejects Biden

"Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to fuck things up." – Barack Obama
Clearly we underestimated him. Americans can hardly believe that Biden blew up Nord Stream 2, essentially attacking our vassal/ally Germany. Perhaps they're still reeling from Kabul falling faster than Hanoi.
Normally Russia endeavors to cooperate with the sitting US president. However, Russian state media has begun airing the Hunter Biden laptop images, of Hunter engaged in drugs and pedophilia with preteen girls. This is retaliation for Biden crossing Russia's red line by repeatedly trying to sabotage Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP). That's why Russia is willing to assist in the impeachment of a sitting US president, which is obviously an extreme step to take between two countries with enough nukes to blot out the Sun.
Rumor has it that China has also turned on Biden, which would make sense: China's economic backing allows Russia to survive US sanctions. China wants Taiwan, and Russia wants East Ukraine. They would be stupid not to cooperate.

ZNPP as potential Chernobyl

A Redditor explains:
Kawaii-Gopnik Russia really needs that powerplant without any leak, to provide industry of surrounding regions with energy, but very few people understand contexts of the current situation: Soviets built complicated and very well ballanced energy system, including not only NPP, but also cascade of hydro power plants. Donetsk, Dnepr, Zaporozhe and Kharkov regions are just one big power hungry plant. NPP itself is reliant on hydropower and quality of water in Dnepr river. In case of really bad "accident" Russia will forget about development of the newly accuired regions, lack of energy produced by NPP is significant, nearly 30-40%. Accident will affect south of Ukraine with russian majority. It will also be also disaster for ecology of the WHOLE Black Sea. Rose of winds will spread nuclear dust to the West - Poland, Romania, Czechia and further. Nuclear zone will stop russian army from further territorial expansion. This will be border formed by Dnepr and nuclear zones.
The basic facts are documented by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Even while shut down, ZNPP needs external power grid or diesel to prevent its reactors from overheating.
Russia controls ZNPP. A nuclear "accident" would give NATO pretext to intervene, so Ukraine keeps trying to cause one.
How bad is this? Well, Chernobyl is in Ukraine. That was a 1k MW reactor. ZNPP has six. It is the 9th largest NPP in the world.
Most experts think the severity would be less than Chernobyl, although anonymous ZNPP workers familiar with the damage disagreed:
Hopefully the containment response would be much better than Chernobyl's, but that's hardly something to count on during WW3. Russia's nuclear doctrine includes pre-emptive strikes when the state is threatened or as a response to nuclear attacks; this situation qualifies as both to the Kremlin. Remember that the USSR nearly launched twice during the Cold War.
Imagine if China assisted Texas in seceding from the USA to rejoin Mexico, and then caused a reactor meltdown at Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant when the USA retook it. A lot of Southerners would want to lob a few nukes back at China. They might demand it.
It is foolish to assume WW3 will not happen because it hasn't happened yet. One should look instead at the historical record of continual warfare, and the difficulties in preventing WW3 so far:
Ukraine doesn't need a huge meltdown like Chernobyl. It merely seeks a pretext to justify direct NATO intervention to "protect" ZNPP. A small leak will suffice.
Even if there is a major radiation leak, it will occur in Russian-annexed separatist territory, and help Ukraine defend her new border. Scorched earth is a valid tactic, whether the fire is conventional or nuclear. Ukraine survived Chernobyl and knows it can survive ZNPP too.

Biden's Ukraine is desperate enough for scorched-earth tactics

Battle of the Bulge at Bakhmut

"We have been working on the counter-offensive with Ukraine for 4-5 months." – Victoria Nuland
Why is Ukraine so desperate?
Ukraine depends on NATO aid to fight Russia. NATO aid depends on Democrat willingness. Democrat willingness depends on US public support. Therefore the illusion must be maintained to the American public that Ukraine is winning. For this reason, Ukraine has committed its reserves to a costly failed counter-offensive. Bakhmut fell regardless.
James A. Donald summarizes the strategic picture:
So, bright new plan. "The Greatest Ukrainian Offensive". The Ukraine would build up a big reserve of fresh troops, then suddenly hurl large chunks of them at particular points on the front. They would, the Americans planned, cut through a point in the front lines, penetrate to Russian rear areas, wreak havoc on those areas, and force Russian troops in danger of being encircled to hastily retreat from territory that had been slowly gained at enormous cost in grinding attritive warfare. I do not know how big the Ukrainian strategic reserve was, but if it was two hundred fifty thousand, they have now committed most of them to grinding attritive warfare, and cupboard is looking as bare of men as it is of artillery and rockets.
The USA expected to break Russia economically; China's economic support prevented that. Despite PMC Wagner's heartfelt complaints, Russia is unlikely to run out of convicts anytime soon. Russia is rotating divisions through Ukraine, seasoning reservists for a looming WW3. Russia's historical appetite for losses is much higher than its current losses. This is essentially a civil war, and the Russia bear considers being carved up an existential threat. By underestimating Russia's resolve, NATO is repeating the error of Napoleon and Hitler.
Despite having plenty of weapons, Ukraine's military manpower is exhausted and demoralized. Raw conscripts are thrown at the front lines with minimal training. Medvedev predicts that the Ukraine will cease to exist; half its people have already fled.
Anonymous Sat 27 May 2023 04:59:49 No.428438077 Report 428437208 Yeah, the killing has been excessive since they pretty much destroyed 95% of Azov fags and assorted true believers in the first 200k dead, now they overshot it by 100%. About 12% of the non-Russian speaking population's prime military aged men in Ukraine are dead or crippled. 12-20% of the same demographic has fled the country. It's over, desu. They are seeing much more of the polish and romanian mercs now, since they literally lack the manpower.
Western mass media wrongly assumes that Russia is losing because it does not take the entirety of Ukraine in a blitz, as the USA did to Iraq. However, Russia does not want West Ukraine; the people there do not like Russians. Russia has captured the territory it wants, and is now using the rest of Ukraine as a kettle or cauldron, in which to conveniently destroy whatever NATO wishes to send. This is a good way for Russia to gradually learn how to fight NATO armies in a low-risk environment.
The Spartans had a rule never to war too often against the same enemy, lest they train up a nemesis. It was foolish of NATO to believe that Russia had forgotten the lessons of attrition warfare that it learned so recently in Afghanistan.
Nehming Names 9h Russia's prudent caution in directly engaging the West is bringing dividends in perhaps unexpected ways. Russia is gaining strategic knowledge of the actual capabilities and weaknesses of our weapon systems and military tactics, with our supply of munitions draining to militarily unsustainable levels, as it engages allied forces in Ukraine. Russia is aware of the continuing progress of the Great Awakening in the West, that is, the knowledge that Western governments, military, and institutions are run by an elite hostile to their heritage populations, and therefore expects to see declining support of Western governments by their citizens. Russia can also see the precipitous decrease in every societal metric in the West: social cohesiveness, general morality, public health, financial stability, military readiness, etc.With these three degradative processes in play, the most strategic thing Russia and China can do is to bide their time, as time itself will act to sap the strength of the West to militarily engage their foes.

Fresh meat

Russian conquest of Kiev would air Biden's dirty laundry to the world, from Burisma kickbacks to pedophilic field trips and worse. This would result in US "regime change". A distant mini-Chernobyl is a small price to pay, for top Democrats to avoid the hangman's noose.
Poland is itching to invade. Victoria Nuland is scheduling NATO air exercises. USAF propaganda asserts that Russia's air force is a joke. The question is, do Americans still believe Biden's false prophets of victory?
If not, they just need a little "encouragement": 9/11, Gulf of Tonkin, Pearl Harbor, Lusitania, Remember the Maine… Keep those rural Whites busy lest they make trouble at home!
Most Americans cannot find Ukraine on a map. (To be fair, it hasn't been on the map very long.) However, the architects of Biden's Ukraine policy, such as Victoria Nuland, Jake Sullivan, Antony Blinken and George Soros, tend to have grandparents of Eastern European origin. I am sure for them it feels important. There's no place like home.
A Redditor explains:
tinglevibestoo I listened to a former CIA agent talk about Ukraine the other day. He said that Ukraine is running out of time. It's not that they don't have the weapons. We've sent them a ton of weapons. It's that they don't have enough troops and they're running low on troops. That's how Russia will win. Ukraine can't sustain the manpower. It totally makes sense to use a nuclear false flag as a reason to bring in the extra manpower. Everyone would deem it justified too because it's a threat to the neighboring nations and it'd be an environmental (climate change) catastrophe.

Teixeira leaks

Some will bring up the US intelligence leaks by Jack Teixeira to support the idea that Russia rather than Ukraine is desperate. Unlike Snowden, Teixeiera was obviously a major security risk for patriotically-motivated leaking, with numerous red flags in his previous and ongoing behavior. Therefore Teixeira was probably a deliberate leak by US intelligence, using a patsy to generate the initial leak and then add whatever extra info they wanted released in the resulting confusion.
Teixeira's leaks served several purposes for the Biden administration:
Most importantly, it mitigated the potential political fallout from another catastrophe like Kabul, should Kiev fall.
The 4chan leaker BB/Inb4source asserts Teixeira was a patsy.

BRICS vs NATO

The foundation of the US empire is the petrodollar, which allows the USA to tax the world via digital debt seignorage. This is why the creation of BRICS as an independent financial and trading system rendered war between NATO and BRICS inevitable, as Kim Dotcom predicted. The US republic is a thalassocratic empire as arrogant as democratic Athens, and it is addicted to financial plunder. The Empire cannot afford to lose the USD's reserve currency status.
Reserve currencies and empires both have lifespans, and the USA has reached the end of both. It is at the stage where hubristic foreign misadventures prove fatal, and Ukraine and Taiwan will prove too much for the American eagle to handle. This is no longer WW2; the USA cannot win a two-front war against BRICS.
That is why Biden's NATO is desperate; the Empire is unravelling as the European Union and other allies such as Turkey and India lose their faith in NATO.
The fact that none of this is common knowledge speaks volumes about who controls public schools and owns mass media corporations.

ZNPP's weak point is diesel fuel

The situation at ZNPP is tenuous and grim, workers report:
Europe’s largest nuclear power station is on the frontline of the Ukraine war. SkyNews Twitter
The fact that the backup diesel reactors have not been maintained is particularly concerning, considering they have already been used 7 times.
UN nuclear chief raises alarm over Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia plant Al Jazeera
Ukraine keeps trying to force a crisis at ZNPP to justify NATO intervention. In other words, Ukraine keeps shelling ZNPP to cut the one power line that still connects it to the grid.
Atlas This is extremely dangerous, external power is required for reliable cooling of the reactors and pools containing spent nuclear waste. Western media spent months last year pretending Kiev wasn’t shelling ZNPP.
Notice that the Russian side keeps ZNPP connected to the power grid, while the Ukrainian side pretends it cannot until the Russian invasion ends:
As you can see, Ukraine is not interested in being reasonable. Russia is happy to leave the NPP free of heavy military equipment, but Ukraine demands the removal of all troops and landmines from ZNPP as well. That would leave the plant undefended, which is obviously unacceptable.
(This is how perverse incentives work. A little ally with nothing to lose can start a world war. It's almost like dividing the world into two hostile nuclear alliances is a bad idea.)
When ZNPP loses external power, huge diesel generators automatically switch on to keep the reactors cool. How much diesel does this consume? Truckloads per day:
Anonymous Sat 27 May 2023 05:18:50 No.428439721 Report Quoted By: >>428463646 428436425 Still easy to transport diesel enough to keep them going In what? If NATO ops and Mercs are sabotaging trucks coming in, what do you think they are gonna carry diesel in to the plant? Is Russia gonna pack in rotopack Jerry cans on their back. Fill a truck up with 5 gallon cans and hope they make it past the snipers and sabotage? Do you have any clue how much fuel those big generators suck down in a day? Those generators to run the plants during shut down or failures are huge 500kw or bigger they are the size of whole 18 wheeler trailers. Those things will drink 50 gallons an hour. You gonna haul in 2.5 gallon rotopacks one at a time to keep it going?
Nuclear power plants have tough shielding. Allegedly the diesel generators are hidden underground. However, the diesel fuel supply is still vulnerable.
Normally the diesel generators have enough fuel for 10 days. However, ZNPP's diesel stockpile recently dipped to 4 days, according to 4chan leaker Inb4source.

Ukrainian saboteurs caught by ZNPP

On May 27, Ukraine accused Russian of planning to cause a leak at ZNPP:
OSINTdefender The Main Directorate of Intelligence for Ukraine has announced that the Russian Military is preparing for Large-Scale Provocation in the coming hours at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in Southern Ukraine that will reportedly Simulate an “Accident” at the Plant causing the Emergency Leak of Radioactive Substances which will be Blamed on Ukrainian Forces.
Then Russia announced it had caught saboteurs (presumably Ukrainian) in ZNPP's city:
Saboteurs who were preparing terrorist attacks on the NPP were detained in Energodar. They had with them maps and schematics of the nuclear power plant with marks for strikes that could lead to a nuclear catastrophe. The suspects are involved in collecting and transmitting information about the facilities of the Zaporozhye NPP on the instructions of the Ukrainian authorities. To communicate with the curators, they used foreign satellite systems, as well as foreign weapons for strikes and equipment for conducting reconnaissance and sabotage activities.
Enerhodar is the city that contains the ZNPP: See Enerhodar Wikipedia
Some object that the footage is "staged". Of course it is staged. The primary consumer of the helmet-cam footage is Russian military intelligence. The evidence shot was staged for their benefit. The short edited video that was released to the public has distorted voices, and avoids showing any faces. Thus even if the footage is authentic, it is still "staged".
The ZNPP maps displayed in the video don't appear to match the announcement text. The maps could simply show where diesel fuel trucks need to go. Russia does not wish to advertise the specific nature of ZNPP's vulnerability.
The saboteurs appear to be 3-man team, equipped with 3 rifles and 3 NLAW missile launchers.
The saboteurs had 5 frag grenades. Normally soldiers carry 2 or 3 grenades, but heavy weapons soldiers don't have to. The three smooth grenades are RGD-5s, a cheap outdated Russian model. The Russian troops removed the fuses from the grenades on the evidence table to avoid unpleasant surprises.
Some object that Ukrainian saboteurs wouldn't be so careless as to have printouts of the reactor map. However, the saboteurs' presence in Enerhodar already makes their target obvious. Presumably multiple teams were sent to intercept Russian diesel shipments.
The Enerhodar saboteurs would've been notified when satellites spotted their target. Until then, they should hide in the safehouse behind blackout curtains to avoid detection. The fact that these saboteurs were caught napping suggests a degree of incompetence, compared to other teams who presumably either avoided detection or fought back. One can assume that Ukrainian specops have suffered extreme casualties.

BB / Red Skull / Inb4source / Q

BB sent Q

Qanon has lost a tremendous amount of popularity, as patriots grew disillusioned with the slow pace of the promised Great Awakening. They did not understand that Q is subordinate to a higher power with an agenda that does not necessarily include their survival.
Q aimed to help Trump save the USA. Q was sent by "Burning Bush", whose agenda is judging humanity, on the eve of WW3 and runaway de-terraforming. BB's personas started posting to 4chan's pol by 2016, whereas Q started in October 2017. (4chan is like the wild west of the Web: The world's spooks congregate there to exchange intelligence.)
BB goes by several nicknames; he began posting anonymously as "Inb4source" in 2016. A recent message implies the USA/Israel is Babylon the Great, and God (meaning him) has returned to judge her:
The world has turned it's back on *od now *od Is turning His back on the world. He Who Lets has been REMOVED. THE ANGEL OF DEATH HAS COME THE HARVEST OF THE TARES HAS BEGUN. And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. (Earthquake Lights) And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. (nothing ever happens) Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, inb4source
BB claims responsibility for the historical pendulum swinging rightward, via figures such as Elon Musk. His method of influence is the butterfly effect.
"Burning Bush" claims to be God. One can think of him as the God of the Old Testament, or as a pagan god like Zeus, or as merely a transcendent extraterrestrial. However, he also claims to inhabit a human-looking body, lives on a ranch in the USA, has children, caught COVID19, etc.
Whatever one's theology, the relevant portion of BB's message is that the USA did not sufficiently embrace the opportunity offered by Q. Anyone who has read the Old Testament knows what happens next: Ignore the prophet, reap the consequences. Thus Q's slogan "Nothing Can Stop What Is Coming" should be understood in the Biblical sense, like Noah's flood: The Ark is optional.
(As far as I know, Q is still posting to Truth Social. I don't follow that site.)
Paul Furber is the chief priest of BB. Before that, he was a major early proponent of Q. See Furber's book for many verifiable examples of fulfilled predictions and proven scoops.
BB normally identifies himself by the unique image hash of his burning bush picture. (Nobody can generate that hash unless they possess the original image.) However, BB also posts as an anon users nickname "Red Skull", for his signature images of red skulls. As Red Skull, BB avoids the extravagant Biblical claims of BB, but the style and modus operandi and interests are obviously the same – as are his implied godlike powers.
I recommend focusing on facts and trying to prevent nuclear WW3, rather than getting hung up on theology. BB is not asking anyone to worship him or sacrifice chickens. He does prescribe prayer and a life of action governed by virtue.
I certainly do not recommend taking everything anonymous spooks say at face value. If you are, like most people, unable to think in shades of gray between binary true and false, this essay is above your reading level.

BB warns Zaporizhia is pivotal

BB has repeatedly warned that keeping Zaporizhia intact is critical to the survival of NATO citizenry:
the Ukrainians attacking the Nuclear Power station in the hands of the Russians spewing radiation over enough territory that the Russians will turn Kiev into a furnace.

Those who find it difficult to believe that nuclear weapons would be used in WW3 as in WW2 should note that COVID19 is already a bioweapon WMD deployed for WW3.

RS gives ZNPP sabotage warning

On the morning of May 27, BB's persona Red Skull leaked that NATO specops had sabotaged external power to ZNPP.
His scenario is plausible and severe enough to warrant investigation.
Here are relevant posts, datestamped 2023 May 27 0300-0500:
it's a little less than ten days… Until Nato SpecOps melt down the Uke Nuke plant and blames it on you.
He continues:
Nato SpecOps have sabotaged power to the nuke plant. As of this posting, 6 days of diesel fuel remain to provide power to pumps to cool the plant and spent fuel pool. Diesel shipments are being targeted and terminated.
He adds:
So now I need to tell you Russia intends a pre emptive strike if nuclear capable F16's are delivered.
On the evening of May 27, Red Skull updated:
Doesn't look good at Nuke Plant. Russia has 4 days to get more fuel to the generators. They are working on clearing a flight path. Ukraine will try to stop them on orders of U.S. Uniparty.
Sounds like a severe leak, to lose 2 days of fuel in under 24 hours.

Ukraine HVT: Nuclear tit for tat

On 28 May Red Skull asserted that:
Red Skull approved of this anon's summary:
Nuclear warheads that USA/UK sent. Specifically for the purpose of being exploded in Ukraine. The false flags will never stop until all out WW3 is declared, or until you root out the pedophile demon cult that is running the show and sending you monkeys to war. War for really no good reason at this point. The cities are destroyed, just withdraw. Ukraine is a kettle right now, a kill box. Do you understand what that means? And it was created on purpose.
On May 30, Putin announced that Russia had destroyed the Ukrainian military intelligence headquarters. Photos confirm the damage.
Intelligence chief Kyrylo Oleksiyovych Budanov may have died in the strike.

Inb4source / Red Skull 4chan posting history

Inb4source has posted on 4chan since 2016, but he doesn't always use an image hash identifier, making it impossible to verify the identity of all of his early posts. As his popularity grew, others began adopting his catchphrase ">inb4source".
18016 posts on pol contain ">inb4source".
The first page of results suggests Inb4source is a pro-Trump military intelligence officer. He began posting in Aug 2016, before Trump's inauguration.
Another early Inb4source catchphrase is "I AM The Source." This has a double meaning, both theological and journalistic.
The catchphrase doesn't appear in every Inb4source post. Searching for it yields 437 results, too many of which are irrelevant results.
Searching for both phrases together yields 50 results that look to be mostly legitimate. One could then search for additional posts by each unique ID from a session.
Searching for image hashes is a reliable method of ID verification, assuming no one else has the image. I know of two such images that Inb4source/BB uses: both are red skulls, giving him the nickname RS.
RS just announced that his devices (phone, computers) have been compromised, casting doubt on the legitimacy of future RS posts. This may be a response to my publication of his warnings regarding Zaporizhia onto Reddit and Gab; the timing is suspicious. I first mentioned Inb4source on Reddit 7 days ago, and Red Skull on Gab yesterday (as of morning June 3). I do not know of any other analysts writing about him or connecting him to his BB persona.
When evaluating his warnings and predictions, remember that publishing info about ongoing events can affect the outcome, and is often intended to do so. Unlike the concept of Biblical prophecy, the future is mostly probabilistic. However, he is certainly good at scooping the news.
Someone else can do an in-depth Q-proof style analysis of his accuracy; my focus here is Zaporizhia.
