Dark Aether

 

Description: It is known that Baridinae are poorly studied and more information available would be necessary to properly make an article on them. Their biology also varies. Xystus sanguinicollis is such a case. Being a member of the order Coleoptera, suborder Polyphaga, infraorder Cucujiformia, superfamily Curculionoidea, family Curculionidae, subfamily Baridinae and tribe Madopterini, these beetles are very confusing. Some Baridinae feed on plants; others on fungi; decaying wood; larvae of insects. Some are also able to thrive in semi-aquatic habitats. The following articles on Insetologia and Biodiversidade de Teresópolis also suggest that they may feed on pollen! This is further suggested after seeing that many tribes of Baridinae are given the popular name of "flower weevils", such as Apostasimerini (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostasimerini).

Dimesus (coleoptera-neotropical.org/paginas/3_familias/Cur-fotos/6...), Orissus (coleoptera-neotropical.org/paginas/3_familias/Cur-fotos/6...) and Ovanius (coleoptera-neotropical.org/paginas/3_familias/Cur-fotos/6...) are all reminiscent of Xystus sanguinicollis and are easily mistaken.

 

Xystus sanguinicollis display black elytra with striae, dark legs that might have distinctive lighter spots and a black head. The elytra are divided by a suture. They have a very short, yet robust body with a long rostrum; midway through it there are two antagonizing antennae made of a scape, funicles and a club connected, these being, more or less, dark-colored. The eyes are large, compound and do not stand out. Xystus sanguinicollis seem to present variations in coloring (this needs confirmation) and display a very strong reddish-orange / red pronotum. It measured approximately 5mm, but since my encounter with one was a long time ago, this might not be accurate. The rest of the body, including mesosternum, metasternum, metepimeron, metepisternum, mesepimeron, mesepisternum, postocular lobe, scrobe and the underside of the abdomen are all dark with occasional reddish-orange or brown parts that are slightly distinctive from the darker parts.

 

"Xystus (Schoenherr, 1826) (type-species Ceutorhynchus sanguinicollis (Germar, 1824-224), by original designation), has been overlooked by researchers. There is a complete description, and an available name is designated as type. It is a senior subjective synonym of Stegotes (Casey, 1922)." - academic.uprm.edu/~franz/WeevilCourseResources/OBrienWibm...

 

According to informations available, they are mainly found in Mexico and South America. This needs heavy confirmation.

 

There are no further informations available to me at the moment. If you know more, please tell me and I will credit you.

PROJECT NOAH (Português): www.projectnoah.org/spottings/1644816132

Long ago, the Imperial Aetheric Expeditionary Fleet made contact with their first (and so far only) intelligent non-human population. They were named "Venandi" by the ship's naturalist, who described them as "an uncommonly large and brutish race of vaguely man-like beasts, arranged in highly territorial matriarchal tribes." Nearly a century of oppression and exploitation followed before the Imperium declared the Venandi free and equal citizens, though even after several generations of trying it is still difficult for them to fully integrate into human society due to persistent prejudices and their significant biological differences - chief among them a lifespan that is only one fifth of the human average.

 

In the Goodfellow Cluster Venandi have always been free, as the FAE Council Charter demands a strict meritocracy, and most Venandi make up for the shortness of their lives with some combination of quick minds, clever hands and strong backs.

 

Seitte Tre is home to a significantly larger percentage of Venandi residents than most colonies in the Cluster, leading the local branch of Phayze Fructification, inc. to develop a mobile frame specifically suited to the preferences of their non-human pilots. The Wechuge features a Venandi-like sillhouette and boasts a spec-sheet comparable to PFi's very popular multi-purpose "Dweorh".

There are aliens in the Goodfellow Cluster!? I was surprised, too. ^^

 

I built a version of this frame that I was pretty happy with, put it on my shelf with the rest, and just sort of considered it every so often as I walked by. After a week or so, I decided that I hated it so I built v2 while staring at this: pin.it/JeLVhDQ, which got rebuilt, like, a thousand times both digitally and brickally. Honestly, I'm still not sure that I'm satisfied, but at some point you just have to cut these things loose.

 

Wechuge comes from a Native American myth regarding a cunning type of ogre-like creature that people turn into when they break taboos or become "too strong", which I think is an interesting reference to use for a frame meant for use by "beast men", as it's a friendly nod to their natural strength, but also kind of (unintentionally) racist at the same time. The social status of Venandi, even in the progressive meritocracy of the FAE, is complicated at best.

Dr Von Shrappnell's personal aether-fighter has the most advanced steam technology of its time. It can fly through space at a very fast speed and fire deadly steamo-rays towards the enemy aetherships.

First time watched the mod Aether Suite. 1

The Imperial Aetheric Expeditionary Force fills a large percentage of their mechanized combat units with the four-legged Velites, however the bulk of their front-line ranks are filled by the bipedal Hastati, which are much cheaper to produce and easier to operate.

 

Though capable of serving in either Peditatus (ground) or Volantatus (flying) modes like the Veles, Hastati are distinct in that they are not equipped for use in the vacuum of space and require specialized transport vehicles to deliver them to the surface of any world on which they are required.

This was inspired in part by this Variable Glaug - www.macrossnewhorizon.org/mediawiki/index.php/Variable_Glaug - though to be fair, I had the beginnings of the idea before I found pics of that design. The feet are a bit fiddly, but after a little practice I've actually gotten pretty good at keeping it upright.

 

To be clear, I don't know any actual Latin beyond a few words I picked up from Wikipedia. "Peditatus" refers to a foot soldier, and "Voluntatus" is something I made up by fake-conjugating Volare ("to fly"). If you know any Latin, then please correct me. I like it.

 

Really. I do.

The Aether Interplanetary Space Station is the pinnacle of Legoland's scientific and technological development. Designed to compete with NASA's Lunar Gateway, it surpasses the latter and takes the concept of an interplanetary space station to the extreme, becoming one of the most ambitious engineering projects of all time. The Aether has an expandable modular design, 2 docking modules, a laboratory module, 3 living modules, and a control module to which a robotic telescopic arm is connected. The space station can accommodate 3 to 5 astronauts, and is equipped with the latest technologies in the aerospace field. The Aether is also equipped with a revolutionary ionization engine, more efficient and faster than normal rocket engines, plus numerous photovoltaic panels for power, a solar panel, and numerous telecommunications antennas on each frequency. The Aether is the strong point of the "Asgard" ecosystem, also consisting of capsules, landers and interplanetary probes, which sees Legoland take man to the Moon and Mars, before the USA.

 

Finally, I have all my dolls with their own bodies. Everybody is all paired up. I'm still waiting for some wigs for half of them, but I figured I'd try to get a pic in anyway. Man, this is no easy task! And some of them are so stubborn, I couldn't get a single pic with everyone looking at the camera! >__<

That's the name of the shortest building. It isn't really short. It is a forty-story hotel on Robson, but the newer buildings around it are taller...and closer. This is shot from Georgia looking uphill toward Robson.

 

I used to stay in this hotel in the early 90s, and there was an unubstructed view to Coal harbor where they used to do fireworks on Canada Day. now you can't see anything as there are more skyscrapers behind me as I shot this.

Fastest wing-for-hire in the galaxy!

Jorum stands in the bow of his ship "The Morning Mist" looking out over the vastness of the Aether. In the distance he can see the port, the goal of this days journey, and the last stop of this long delivery run. Maybe he will meet some friends tonight? Further back, his oldest son Bor is taking care of the steam system that runs the ship. Everything seems fine.

 

Jorum makes a living by delivering goods and mail between the islands of Aetheria. He makes a good profit and he is not afraid to show it. Riches and treasures can be rewarded the people who dare tread the ocean of the Aether... and Jorum knows this ocean, like the back of his hand.

The fifth Classical Element, Aether is the material that fills the region of the universe above the terrestrial sphere. Aristotle included ίδέα, idea, as a fifth element distinct from the other four, Earth, Water, Air, and Fire. The word aether (αἰθήρ) in Homeric Greek means "pure, fresh air" or "clear sky", imagined in Greek mythology to be the pure essence where the gods lived.

 

Aether has no qualities (it is neither hot, cold, wet, or dry), is incapable of change (with the exception of change of place), and moves in tidal circles thro[VOX-HOLD]

 

How wrong we were.

We should have anticipated their arrival, then Pax Ín Tellús would still rule and so many lives could have been saved...so many lives.

Air Commodore Topper Hart calling HQ, come in HQ.

 

Omega Squadron HQ receiving. Good to hear your voice Air Commodore. What is your status. Over.

 

Not good, not good at all. The 1st Kryptic Squadron of Numbros hit us hard in a surprise attack. We lost them all...The Fifth Imperial Falconers Sky Division, The Aether ship Saunders Revenge, The Victory Queen...we lost them all, only I and The Lightning Wrath made it out of that hellhole. But we got one of the bastards, we got one alive. He crashed into the hangar deck of The Wrath, just hope the shithead will survive the ride back to base. Over

 

Sad to hear about the loss, but if it is like you say, that we got one of them alive...then it may not be such an infortunium event after all. I'll inform Dr Von Kloitzman about this so he can get his "nerd" squad ready to warm up old Calculus. Report to debriefing as soon as you touch down. Over.

 

Received and understood, Topper Hart to Omega Squadron HQ over and out.
