This issue is from Ben Urich's perspective.
----
Ever since Captain America’s conception, the field of science has been different. People used to develop cures for diseases, but now their focus is on creating living weapons. Many suggest that it’s only a matter of time before “genetic warfare” is our preferred method of battle. Capitalizing on this has the potential to make someone very, very wealthy. Due to the immense wealth that could come out of such experimentation, very few are concerned about the ethicality or even legality of what they’re doing. Though I have no way to prove it, I believe that Norman Osborn is one of these people. He reared his ugly head about a decade ago, when these illegal modifications were at an all-time high. A devastating explosion at his company’s testing facility took dozens of lives this week, and I intend to expose the truth about him to avenge their deaths.
“Thanks for meeting me, Mr. Osborn. I was wondering if you had time to discuss the recent incident at OsCorp’s laboratories.”
“I’d certainly be willing to discuss this—this tragedy. It would be my pleasure to answer any questions that you have.”
He almost seems sympathetic, but I can tell it’s a show. He couldn’t care less about the lives that were lost that night.
“May I record our conversation?”
“Certainly, Mr. Urich.”
Convincing people like this to go on the record is crucial. Norman Osborn’s own words are guaranteed to travel further than mine. As my mentor showed me, it’s also important to have a secondary recorder stowed away in your pocket in the event that something goes awry. In my career as an investigative journalist, that’s happened plenty of times.
Now it’s time for the exciting part: the first question. It’s the icebreaker, so to speak. I’ll start with something that he isn’t anticipating.
“Where were you on the night of the explosion?”
“Mr. Urich, please. I said I’d answer questions about the accident, not my personal life.”
Of course you did, Osborn. Of course you did.
“Can you confirm that you were there when the explosion occurred?”
“Mr. Urich, I can’t help but feel attacked. If you’re implying that I’m to blame, I’d let you know that my employees are like family. I would never put them in harm’s way.”
“My apologies. I wasn’t trying to blame the incident on you; I was merely trying to confirm the rumors.”
Osborn’s not the only one that’s a decent liar. But, as a journalist, I probably shouldn’t be bragging about that.
“Rumors?”
“Multiple witnesses claim that your limousine was on the premises.”
“Trust me when I say that I was at home with my son, Harry.”
There’s actually photographic evidence that his limousine was there when the explosion occurred, but I won’t tell him. Besides, that doesn’t necessarily mean that he was there.
“Alright. Moving on.”
“Thank you.”
“Do you know what caused the explosion?”
“I was told that there was a gas leak.”
“According to inside sources, the explosion occurred where your experimental Oz formula was being tested. Could this have—?”
“Sir, it was a laboratory. Anything could’ve affected the explosion, if that’s what you’re getting at.”
“Are you aware of the creature spotted outside of the facility moments after the explosion?”
“Creature? Sir, this is a waste of my time. I was under the impression that you worked for the Daily Bugle, not the National Enquirer. Sorry, but I’m going to have to excuse myself.”
We now know that the Norse gods exist, but a monster is implausible? That’s too funny, Osborn. He practically proved that there was something there by denying it. Was it an experiment gone wrong? Perhaps it was the cause of the explosion? Maybe I’d know the answers if he’d cooperate. Oh well, maybe I can still milk an article out of what I got from him.
“See you around, Mr. Osborn.”
Ornate Reticulated Relic Silver Brooch with Garnet
My first ever brooch. It's mainly sterling silver and the surface is a combination of sterling and fine silver.
Not only is it my first brooch, but it's also one of my very favorite pieces that I've ever made.
I've take the last several months off and haven't even stepped foot into my studio until today. I figured posting this brooch, even though I made it sometime last year, would give me the kick in the pants that I need to get back into the creative habit. Hopefully I can keep up with the challenge and make something every week :)

Interesting view of all the cables holding and pulling the A-4.
A 'holdback' restrains the A-4 and will be cut at launch. The pulling cable ('bridle') is tied to the catapult behind the nose wheel.

You can support this on Lego ideas!
I find myself in a weird position at the moment that I'm forced to stay away from work and uni, something to do with the country being in lockdown due to Covid_19. What better a time to neglect what I should be doing and build Lego? Been a while!
Here's a quick 1:1 scale Lego OM-1, for some contest where only 1 colour is allowed (the lens element is dark trans smoke or whatever that's called).
For fun, the photo was taken with an OM lens. If I had time to wait for my brother to develop the film, woulda done it with the actual camera...
Enjoy!

Taken with a Spiratone MacroBel bellows attachment, hand held. Lens was Yashica 50mm Auto Yashinon DX f/1.4 (screw mount) with Nikon adapter, on Olympus E-PM2.
Talk about a mish-mash of equipment!
The subject was a very small crystal top to a crystal perfume bottle.
Natural light.
The 4 jets came together… in a Sci-Fi way, it looks like 1 aircraft.
Supposedly, if I heard the announcer correctly… The top 3 pilots are looking 90 degrees at pilot 1 who is looking straight.
I have said it, but I will say it again… their precision is simply amazing! That's A LOT of trust right there!!!
uhhhhh here’s a mix bag of dc figs
