    ...but not the kid. That’s protection. That’s armor, but for PR. She’s eleven, she doesn’t even talk in public, which means every story gets written *for* her. That’s not an accident. That’s design.” Jose (nodding, tapping boots on table): “Yeah, like, nobody’s mad at her. Even the crankiest...

    The Brazilian scientist is back. I guess it's rare for Tinkers, especially new ones, to be willing to make lesser versions of their own tech. There's always this push for quality over quantity. Even the rare Tinker whose specialty is quantity, like drones, will still try to maximize individual...

    Extras: Celestial Saga: Star Wars on Earth-Bet - Episode VIII: Legacy of Hope

    Section I: Author’s Preface – Why Write About Episode 8 ? When I wrote my first essay on Episode 7 (or Rebirth of Hope , as it was later subtitled), I didn’t imagine it would get any kind of audience. It was written quickly, out of the raw enthusiasm of someone who had stumbled into a...

    Extras: Celestial Saga: Star Wars on Earth-Bet - Episode VII - Rebirth of Hope

    Production and Context When Star Wars premiered in May 1977, it opened not with clarity but with confusion. The crawl did not label it a standalone feature, but Episode VII. Audiences blinked, had they missed six previous films? Was Lucas presenting a sequel without a prequel, or was the...

    Fourth date. Four. That was a big enough number that it felt like it should mean something, but small enough that I had no idea what it meant. I was walking a thin line between holding Missy’s hand like it was casual and clinging like I’d never let go. The movie hadn’t given me any ideas for...

    My leather boots are starting to get sold. $80, and it took a while since the fitting to the first wearer thing they do meant they needed to go through pretty extensive testing before they could get sold to the general public. But Emmy and Glenn Chambers have been pushing pretty hard for this...

    I guess there was some kind of fight over forcing me into the Protectorate-Wards, since I apparently "don't trust the Protectorate to safeguard the villain." I was confused, but I guess they took offense at my teleporting her to Canada, meaning the PR win got split between me, personally, and...

    Rune baited and almost trapped Aegis and Glory Girl a few days ago by seeming to repeat her "throwing rocks at minorities" thing before flying directly to where Menja and Fenja were waiting. So when I saw Rune fly off in an extremely obvious way today, I sent a DM over to Carlos and Vicky on...

    I ran into Taylor today. She was Aura farming near the Boat-Graveyard, just standing on one of the piers, hair flowing cinematically in the breeze, looking like Edmond Dantès out of that book Emmy's been making me read lately, The Count of Monte Cristo. I guess she noticed me hovering nearby...

    Today was a "team building exercise" with Firewatch, Aspirant, Addison, and Dauntless. I guess the Deputy Director was all proud of that one raid where we managed to stop Uber and Leet's minions, so he's going to have Addison train up with Firewatch, then go out with one of the PRT squads like...
