Deets Carroll calls out, "Got company!"
Jaina Lefevre glances back. "Frank...thanks for stoppin' by. Means a lot." She swallows. "Just..be safe..." she watches behind her and her face pales, fingers twining around Rai's leg.
Debra Charron relaxes again, and once again begins softly whistling to pass the time
Deets Carroll continues to look around. Speaks softly. "Kids. If there's any trouble, just in case, I want you to keep low, and run between the hills to the gas station, and then to the church, if you have to. Got that?"
Tres Asbrink just taps his foot as he looks over the small crowd"Where is this whore who thinks she can make threats and call me out of my bunker." he shakes his head for a moment.
Jaina Lefevre nods. "Got it Mom." she whispers and looks at the others.
Remamian Takashi looks up at deets as she says that and turns back to deb "That shall be my leave, i will be just a few steps away Ma'am" she turns and starts to walk up the steep hill, slightly loosing her footing a few times as some of the rocks and rubble skip down to the flat land bellow
Phoebe Scribe cut a wide swath around the UAC people, scowling at the pair of them while she headed for the bridge. Once she past them, she took off on a jog for it. She caught Deets' words before she left, but this kid wouldn't stick around this close. The other side? Perhaps.
Rai Pawpad nods. "Yeah, got it."
Kimani Silvercloud turns whan Deet speaks and the color drains from her face she scoots closer to rai stills reaching for Jais back, she looks up at Deets "yeah"
Deets Carroll nods tersely to Tres. "On the beach."
Debra Charron nods to Taiyou - her face calm, "I appreciate you being here. If I don't see you again here, I'll see you elsewhere."
Tres Asbrink just snaps his finger for the guard at his heels to follow him.
Kimani Silvercloud her eyes narrow when Tres walks down the hill, she growls, but its barely audible
Rai Pawpad growls softly, his fingers tightening on Jaina's.
Debra Charron observes the figures descending the hill and smiles - her green eyes sparkling, "Evening Gentlemen, ready for the event?"
Jaina Lefevre whispers. "Snaps fingers like a puppy. Looks like he got better from where we cut him."
Deets Carroll gives the nearby rooftops a final glance, and follows Tres down,
Nellie Meads's tail twitches. She takes a jar out of her pocket and holds it up in front of her eyes, and then lifts it over her head to show the people on the beach.
Tres Asbrink just lets out a small laugh"Ohh yes the event ohh lovely. I was just thinking of not comeing but i fidgured... Time to collect UAC property in the end."
Nellie Meads looks at Jaina. "Just off hand, I'd say he did get called out of his bunker. "
Debra Charron chuckles in obvious amusement, "No need to worry about them getting their property - I'd always planned to allow them to collect your body after we're done. To do less would be unseemly"
Jaina Lefevre nods to Nellie. "And you got his ear..." She's so nervous, she actually giggles at the jar. "Pee in his ear."
res Asbrink just smiles"Ohh yes seems you think your going to fight me." he snaps his fingers."Ohh no you don;t get that honor.. As i see it i'm a noble in this world. AS such you will fight a proxy in my place i'm to important to get my hands covered in your non-human blood."
Nellie Meads: "I wonder if I pinch this, will his clown ear feel it?"
Jaina Lefevre calls out. "You're a piece of shit, Ass-Brink!"
Remamian Takashi watches on, she rolls her eyes whispering to herself "come on ladies, just kill eachother already so i can go get something to drink" she smirks and her eyes widen as her pants begin to vibrate, she pats around and pulls out a small pda from her back pocket and reads whats on the screen. She quirks her brow and sends back a responce.
Rai Pawpad snarls. "He's a ratbastard chicken, that's why."
Nellie Meads rolls her eyes. "Don't call names, get even, people."
Kimani Silvercloud watches the beach, feeling on edge, if she had fur it would all be on end, her back is raised, the low growl continuing, she looks around, wondering if anyother kids would be comming
Deets Carroll growls, and pull her shotgun. "Then I shoot you down."
Debra Charron snorts and her eyes once again glitter, this time in very frank contempt. Her voice is clear and is intended to reach the onlookers as she states, "Tres, are you really sure you want to pass along your duty to another? It may get you out of a bullet here tonight, but in the long run how will it play for those who have to follow you? Soldiers like to respect their commander after all.......and a commander who hides behind others when presented with physical danger is not one who'll inspire much in the way of respect - and your men deserve better" Deb looks at the person acompanying Tres, "You're here of your own free will?"
Pyros Zenovka nods at the woman"My duty is to sever the UAC and the company i follow my orders to the letter." he taps the gun at his side."So my orders are to kill you what else is there to do."
Deets Carroll sighs and steps sideways, out of Deb's line of fire. It gives her a better line on Tres, which isn't much of a coincidence.
Tres Asbrink just titls his head as he looks at Deb"There are reasons why i have brought commisinars to the city." he just smiles"To carry out my will. Cold ruthless type who do as the uac wills it." he looks to Pyros." Which Pyros is one of them."
Esha Rajal arrived rather fashionably late for the evening's festivities. At least she had a good excuse, having run ragged across Apoc and the southwestern side of Midian. She stood far enough back from the gathered crowd that she could have a good view of the area in general. She was just there in case anything went wrong, as per orders, and she'd follow them. She shifted her wait from side to side as she waited patiently, her eyes roaming over the children in front of her, and off to the little bit of action she could see down on the beach below.
Debra Charron smiles at Tres, "Really? Or have you brought them because you doubt your ability to command the respect of the troops who have served you to this point? For acts just such as this one........" Deb looks at the uniformed man, "I am Debra Charron, and I appreciate your dedication to your duty. I don't think i've had the privilige of your name soldier?""
Tres Asbrink just lets out a small snort"There only job is to do what the company says nothing more.. If not then liquadation is in order i would say." he just lets out a small laugh looking at pyros to see what his reply would be.
Jaina Lefevre watches and listens. She's so proud of her Mom down there. And she so desperately wants to slice that fucker with his own scalpel again.
Pyros Zenovka just looks at the woman for a moment and titls his head"I can care less what a dog of war has to say.... I have my duty i do what i have to do. You do not the curse of mercs like yourself." his hand moves to the large luger at his leg taping it for a moment.
Jaina Lefevre holds Rai's hand tight, watching. She's chewing the crap out of her lip too.
Kimani Silvercloud listens to the conversation below and shakes her head and wispers to the group of kids "He's probaly scared, makin up excuses why he cant fight"
Jaina Lefevre: "Probably because he's a pansy. Rai and I took him. He has to get someone else to fight 'cause he'd pee his pants if he had'ta do it his ownself."
Nellie Meads: "Pixis, come over with us."
Deets Carroll shakes her head. "This is crap. She levels her gun at Tres. Your flunky drops his guns, or I shoot you now."
Kimani Silvercloud looks over and smiles "hey sister, come on over" she pats the ground next to her
Belldandy Ghost looks over to Kimani, at first she wasnt planning on moving, but since Kimi had motioned to a spot she couldnt help but to go over and sit by her, to watch the two fight like gladiators in a colleseum or arena
Debra Charron chuckles, "Commisar, last time I checked - you worked for Union Aerospace Corporation..........not some government. That means I'm not the only mercenary on this beach, i'm just the only *Professional* mercenary here." Deb grins wolfishly at Tres, "If you insist on sacrificing another to save yourself, the consequences be upon your head. No matter who walks away from this, in the eyes of those who serve you - the folks down in the ranks - I win." Deb fixes her gaze on Pyros, "Well Commisar - if you're ready to defend his right to make war on children - find myself suitably attired." Deb cuts her gaze to Deets, "Deets - let him have his fun. if this fellow is Tres' substitute, then i'll trade shots with him. If tres himself or anyone else attempts to fire at me, drop Tres."
Rai Pawpad smiles. "Hey there, Knight."
Belldandy Ghost nods "Good Morning, Your Majesty."
Jaina Lefevre glances over at Pix but is really kinda focused on hoping her Mom doesn't die.
Deets Carroll scowls, "Understood." Begrudgingly. Her shotgun aim never wavers from Tres' back.
Kimani Silvercloud clasps her hands together nevously fidgeting with them she tries to smile at the group reassuringly but it just comes out as a grimace
Pyros Zenovka just smiles as the woman"Just so you know i'm the top in with my group for this kind of work miss." he just smiles as he steps forward>"No worrys there will be no one to bother you... Childeren from this city are just like the adults things that need to be beaten."
Tres Asbrink just steps back from the fight and lets his man do his job.
Jaina Lefevre: "Yeah! But HE was the one that got his ass beat!" She points to Tres. "BY TWO KIDS! PANSY!"
Rai Pawpad growls in his chest, and murmurs, "yeah? bring it assbag."
Deets Carroll glares and keeps Tres in her sights, stepping back slightly to maintain her distance.
Simon Netizen just...watches. Seeing, hearing...watching quietly as he converses in whispers with Esha.
18 U.S. Code § 2384 - Seditious conspiracy
If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.
Finally, there is an indication that the DOJ is looking at the Jan 6th attack on Congress, as a corrupt conspiracy to stop the peaceful transfer of power in the US, ie a Coupe.
This is just the beginning of getting to those who plotted and organized the Jan 6th plot. I hope it eventually gets everyone who was involved, these folks are still just some of the mid level participants.
Its one thing to peacefully protest, (something I fully support), it is quite another to organize a plot to stop the peacefully transfer of power in our government.
And those who pay attention to such things, it is also a sad statement that some in the TG community are also involved here, ie there are right wing nuts cases among us, in case you didn’t already know.
Be well, stay safe and hang in there, the wheels of justice are rolling here finally.
The Borgward Isabella is a medium sized two door saloon that was manufactured by the Bremen based auto-manufacturer Carl F. W. Borgward GmbH between 1954 and 1962. Initially the car was badged, like its predecessor, as the Hansa 1500, but within the company it was known from the beginning by the code name, Isabella (after Carl Borgward's wife), and cars produced after 1957 bore the ‘Isabella’ name, inscribed eye catchingly within the rhombus at the centre of the front grill: in retrospect the car produced from 1954 is known as the Isabella to differentiate it from the (first) Hansa 1500/1800 which the company produced between 1949 and 1954.
Despite its aspirational positioning in the marketplace, the Isabella had a smaller engine (and was marginally shorter) than its immediate predecessor. Late in 1952 the firm had launched their six cylinder Hansa 2400 model. The larger car never found many buyers; but in 1954 it made commercial sense to keep the two models from competing too directly with one another.
Initial sales volumes were not maintained. Responding to a sales decline of almost a third between 1955 and 1956, Carl Borgward decided to produce a more beautiful Isabella with a shortened roof line. The Borgward Isabella Coupé was developed, and the four hand built prototypes were well received by the press. Borgward gave one of these prototypes to his wife, Elizabeth, who would continue to drive it into the 1980s. Commercial production of the coupé, powered by the more powerful TS version of the engine first seen in the cabriolet, commenced in January 1957. The coupe appears to have achieved it’s marketing objective of further distancing the Isabella’s image from similarly sized competitors from Opel and Ford.

Die Borgward Isabella ist ein Mittelklassewagen der Carl F. W. Borgward G.m.b.H. in Bremen-Sebaldsbrück, das erfolgreichste Modell der Borgward-Gruppe, das ab 10. Juni 1954 zunächst unter dem Namen „Hansa 1500“ vom Band lief.
Der spätere Name „Isabella“ war nicht das Ergebnis von Marktuntersuchungen, sondern eine spontane Eingebung von Carl F. W. Borgward selbst. Gefragt, was man auf die noch streng geheimen Vorserien-Modelle schreiben solle, wenn sie Probefahrten im öffentlichen Verkehr machen, soll Borgward geantwortet haben: „Das ist mir egal; schreibt meinetwegen Isabella drauf."
Ab 1957 war der ursprüngliche Tarnname im Borgward-Rhombus des Kühlergrills zu lesen.
Die moderne Konzeption und die gefällige Erscheinung des Hansa 1500 (Isabella) wurden bei der Vorstellung 1954 enthusiastisch begrüßt. Der Wagen traf den Publikumsgeschmack und war vom ersten Tag an ein Verkaufserfolg. Der Wagen war nach einer Entwicklungszeit von nur zehn Monaten anfangs mit zahlreichen Kinderkrankheiten behaftet, die jedoch nach und nach abgestellt wurden.
Als 1956 der Absatz der Isabella gegenüber 1955 um fast ein Drittel zurückgegangen war, entschloss sich Carl Borgward, ein „schönes Auto“ mit verkürztem Dach zu bauen. Daraufhin entstand das Borgward Isabella Coupé, von dem zunächst vier Prototypen in die Öffentlichkeit gelangten und das Interesse der Presse weckten. Einen dieser handgefertigten Prototypen schenkte Borgward seiner Frau Elisabeth, die ihn bis in die 1980er Jahre fuhr.
Die Serienproduktion des Coupés (mit dem TS-Motor) begann im Januar 1957. Karl Deutsch in Köln wandelte auch dieses Modell in ein Cabriolet um, das aber den Schriftzug „Coupé“ am Heck behielt. Die Coupé-Cabriolets kosteten zwischen 15.600 und 17.000 DM.

Vodafone has announced plans to provide coding training to 1,000 teenage girls across 26 countries in what is the world’s furthest-reaching in-person global coding programme of its kind. The commitment was announced in advance of @WomenScienceDay. Vodafone is partnering with @CodeFirstGirls to address widening gender gap in STEM.
For many years, women and girls have played an important role in science and technology. Without the work of technology pioneers like Hedy Lamarr and Barbara Liskov, we would not have Wi-Fi and email as we know it. But despite this, women and girls are still grossly under-represented in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) education and careers. Only 35% of girls enter further education in STEM subjects, and many have little encouragement to equip themselves with the skills to thrive in these industries.
Vodafone wants to help change this. In a partnership with social enterprise Code First: Girls, Vodafone’s #CodeLikeAGirl programme will provide five-day, coding workshops for girls, ages 14-18, across its geographical footprint in Europe, India, the Middle East, South Africa and Australasia. In 2017, 500 girls across Vodafone’s 26 markets were taught to code as part of the Vodafone and Code First: Girls partnership. This year, 1,000 teenage girls will benefit from the programme.

Code Pink called on Bed, Bath & Beyond to stop selling Ahava cosmetics.
'Ahava promises “Beauty Secrets from the Dead Sea.” But the real secrets it keeps are an ugly truth—its products actually come from stolen Palestinian natural resources in the Occupied Territory of the Palestinian West Bank, and are produced in the illegal settlement of Mitzpe Shalem.'
For people who are looking, LEGO sets are full of references and codes. This image shows a few:
The numbers 01001100, 01000101, 01000111, 01001111 represent the numbers 76, 69, 71, 79 in binary, and those correspond to the letters LEGO in the ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) character code chart.
The number 0937 on the torso and on the ticket represents the word LEGO upside down.
The runes in the tile are in Older Futhark. The runes in the center spell "LEGO". The runes in the upper and lower border spell "LEG GODT PLAY WELL".
The Greeble in the Greeble Trail on the map is a reference to a LEGO building technique where lots of small parts are added to a surface in order to break up the surface and to make it look more detailed, interesting and believable.
"Kneel before Zod" combines references to the DC Universe superheroes Superman and Batman. In this newspaper article, the slogan has changed from an evil general demanding obedience and submission, to the result of an election poll. The LEGO voters do seem to be in favour of candidate Kneel, who "will not enslave humanity".
I like seeing these, and there must be many that I have not seen yet. Please link to your favourites below :-)
