Starship Saturday - Huygens-class survey ship
Tumblr media
Introduced in 2499 by Aerofabrique SA, the 85m-long Huygens is a scout ship intended for mapping new worlds, charting slipspace routes, and - in wartime - hunting for raiding targets that can be attacked by UNSC Navy destroyer wolfpacks.

it has just dawned on me that the Commander from Shadow the Hedgehog is very obviously inspired by Captain Keyes and I don't know how to feel about it

Halo Reloaded: The UNSC
Named "The United Nations Star Council" in this AU, my depiction of the UNSC is far less "morally-gray at best, straight up diabolical fascism at worst." I'm sure ther eare people who find that moral-ambiguity interesting, but the point of my AU, or at least of the things about it that DIVERGES it from the main universe, is that everything is supposed to be streamlined (plus, I'm a sucker for more straight-forward 'good vs evil' stories). While bad people can do bad things in the military, the UNSC is largely a force for good. Less the "Galactic Empire" (Star Wars) and more "The Terran Federation" (Starship Troopers). Instead of a shady, militaristic and authoritarian 'Big Brother' empire, it's a libertarian one-world republic that DOESN'T spy on it's citizens with 24/7 surveillance.
Of course, the UNSC has had little to no involvement with the Spartan-Programs Orion to III, all three of which were done behind the scenes by ONI.
The Spartan-II Program isn't nearly as bad as it is in-canon, but they still weaponize children all of the same and The UNSC was just as surprised as everyone else was. They shut down production of the Spartan-III Program after Ackerson got ousted, remeding the situation by placing the IIIs under the care of the II and prohibiting them from seeing battle until the IIs make the call (and most of them don't think the IIIs are ready for action). They can't reverse what's been done to them, it'll kill them; this was the best they could do: Give the IIIs families, families that are just like them and completely understand them.
The UNSC being a "Council" stems from it being, well... a council; it's led by Lord Hood, an admiral who is the head of the council. But in a more meta-sense, it's renamed "The United Nations Star Council" as a reference to the "United Earth Space Council" (the UESC) which is the leading government-body in the MARATHON series (Bungie's original Sci-Fi FPS before Halo and Destiny).

Battle of Paris IV, Orbital defenses & UNSC’s 12th Auxiliary Fleet holds the line for as long as possible for evacuation procedures to commence or for reinforcements.

Drew this a year or two ago- based it on this ship

Drew the ship before Sins of The Prophet’s team brought this beautiful ship to life- unfortunately I never posted it before back then. (I didn’t learn WHEN they released their model showcase until a few months after it happened) T-T

"Can you explain your whining about the Forerunners?" a marine asked. "Seriously, Simmons, that's what you wanna know?" she replied. Her redhair pulled back into a series of tight braids. "Yeah, you seem to go on and on about it." "Have you- oh by Freyja," she sighed, "All of the bullshit of he last twenty years is related to Forerunner tech, a literal Forerunner, or Forerunner obsessed cultists." Aurora giggled in her ear. "Take your pick!"
Let's jump intoEpisode 8 "Allegiance" AKA John-117 fucked!
Yeah he fuuuuucked. Seriously, before watching the episode this was ALL I saw on various sites talking about the story.
The cold open is heavily focused on the shared sensations both Chief and Makee appear to be having because of their shared vision. The two are apparently connected on a level that is beyond normal humans. A shared sense of consciousness definitely sounds a lot like the <a href="
https://www.halopedia.org/Domain
">Domain</a>. You know, a quantum subreality where the Forerunners dumped a lot of their knowledge. A section of dimensional experience that was pretty much the home of the great gestalt of the precursors.
For you laygeeks, the Domain is fucking hyperdimensional group mind that humans can barely tap into it.
We watch Makee and John walking in a garden while listening to Halsey and Adun giving a narrative. Cortana is too cute, and can we get her away from the evil blonde? Oi, I hate Halsey so much. Like I get she's the post-human genius, but fuck that lady.
Ah, the wonderful mix of a memory montage as the two "Blessed Ones" (god, I really hate the Chosen One aspect of dropping every human having the gene). It's weird watching Jacob and Parangosky wax and wane over the bullshit they pulled with the Spartan-IIs. There's something strange, about the two talking with flowers in the background.
Makee is definitely not pulling punches to appear remotely unquestionable dog startling her makes a lot of sense honestly, and then suddenly we jump back to Section Three command. We see what it's like to have an entire planet glassed. Literally burned so everything becomes molten silicate. Yup, Chief has officially drunk the koolaid cuz she and him are "SPECIAL". Seriously, dude, this guy is kind of foolish as fuuuck without his pellet.
I find it "HILARIOUS" no one noticed that the Covenant showed up when someone fucked with a Forerunner artifact. It's almost like they can TRACK IT. The Silver Team appears to be getting shit together and well Kai is taking bets. You know, what I like Kai (this is going into the fucking fic). And Mirand is sitting over te garbled message sent by Makee to High Charity. In pops Jacob, wo appears to just be checking on his kid. They are amused with how strange Makee's message is. I wonder if this is because Makee being human perhaps lacks certain experiences with the language. OR she's speaking a dialect specific to the Prophets?
We'll figure it out.
Whatever, she's saying she's reciting it as a prayer. I wonder if she's torn, as I watch Chief once again comes to visit her. Is she breaking her allegiance to the Great Journey? And now we get an intimate scene which I don't have any investment in. HOwever, Cortana watching is a bit weird, but I can sense she's actually looking out for Chief. Blondie is very likely definitely questioning her place as we get a pretty gorry little scene of her pulling out the covenant claw modification. Whith sees her ripping out the tip of her literal finger. YAY BODY HORROR! (I adore bodyhorror this adds well to the idea of post-humanity in the series).
Cortana gives the laydown of said fucking to Halsey and walks about how he two are synergized. There's a pause, and I believe Halsey can sense Cortana's wavering loyalty to her.  Halsey reveals her true monstrosity in hw she's willing to basically fuck everyone oer for her own goals. Yeah, talk about Hannibal level fuck the world mindset. Jacob seems deeply disturbed, but unsurprised by her audacity.
Hehe, Halsey decides to talk to Makee directly. Hopefully, this girl will see straight through Halsey's bullshit. Lol she talks about the greater good, and this bitch literally starts to manipulate someone just for her own sake. Yup, she gets her shit called on her. Cortana, is, yeah, she can just use the rest of SIlver Team and yup. Shit is going down.
And Cortana betrays Halsey FUCKING FINALLY. Kai is waking up, and holy shit are we gonna get her and Miranda in an action scene? Yes, our girl is on it! The Spartan fight scene is pretty awesome. And, the fucking idiots just reinforced Makee's genocidal hatred of humanity. Way to go Halsey, you stupid shortsighted bint. If only she decided to do some fucking research she might have figured out Makee was a bloody plant.
Hottakes:
Halsey is really - narrowminded - and pretty foolish for a genius. She’s so caught up in her grand plan she didn’t correlate to the Covenant having a plant.
The John sex scene was uh okay?
MORE KAI ACTION!

in light of recent events: still feeling kinda "huh." about the fact that they canonized what was most likely a formatting error on bungie's part that occurred when the info sheets for noble team were being published as part of the promo campaign way back in the day. as of 2022, it's just. canon now. huh. alright.
#not a negative post at all‚ just feeling... uncharacteristically indifferent about it‚ given how much i care about NT as a whole and its#individual members (sans jun lmao that guy's lost all my good graces)#speaking of NT one day i'm gonna have to write an essay about emile and how the united nations space command wants total control over /how/#they want to cleanse the galaxy of anyone who would oppose them as emperors of mankind. think about it. you'd think that emile's hostility#towards the insurrectionists would work in their favor - after all‚ who in their right mind would decline a killing machine that is hellben#on killing your opposition? but the unsc /deliberately sidelines/ emile‚ deeming him ''too brutal'' for their standards. they want to#cleanse covertly‚ in silence. emile‚ as a byproduct of the cycle of war perpetuated by an imperialist ueg‚ does not serve their image of#a peaceful and just government they're trying to uphold to the civilian world (the ueg‚ despite being a civilian government‚ has#historically let the military complex (aka the united nations space command) make some of the most important decisions in the history of#mankind and politics - surely this is an idea that could not backfire in any way whatsoever and surely the military industrial complex will#not make decisions that will serve to perpetuate war and keep itself in business instead of ones that would benefit mankind at large)#he is brutal‚ relentless‚ and something that cannot be censored‚ cannot be /controlled/. so they sidelined him. it's not a matter of#brutality of one as opposed to the other (like so many are keen on pointing out) but rather about desperately trying to leash a creation#that a) emerged as a direct result of the conflict you're trying to perpetuate‚ b) taints your reputation and '''goodwill''' and c) is the#living‚ unfiltered embodiment of your desire to destroy and annihilate independent human colonies#well. looks like i ended up writing an essay after all. LMAO#logs#probably gonna put these tags in a separate post i think my observations are sound enough for me to unbind them rather than keep them as a#random tangent i went on

Terminator two
Next thing you know police are arresting you and you have no idea why
Nerve damage arthritis radiculopathy the list goes on and on and on. I’ve got to remember that there are Black people in America who are 110 better for their families
I have not seen a 110 but that’s possible especially when you see people with like African-American in German and things like that you get some light skin tones yeah
Sidney jokes. Cunt. That man has not been around he doesn’t know the world.
But I’m not black still though everybody has a little bit I suppose I believe in some of the old teachings, you learn a lot talking to Black people if you well if you listen, particularly honourable Black people you know we all have different personality traits for every skin colour skin colour is just a side effect of the disease called racism I’m not saying that you shouldn’t recognize those things you should all skin tones are good.
Albinism I don’t see that one very much but every now and then I see albino Africans and albino African-Americans so there’s a close bond there even though you wouldn’t know it maybe I wouldn’t know it
Sidney Poitier would never ever have been your friend
And you’re not twinkly you’re just a low class piece of trash
I said the jokes, Linda Hamilton they are so funny, except we all kind of forgot to laugh
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I don’t think Dr. Walker is that man’s friend any of them and I don’t need to waste energy on a war that is against me after I have generated trillions of dollars of revenue and there are still starving people
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Now Rebecca, what will you do about this?”
I was hoping you would give me the answer
Rest and recharge
I love the everything it’s great
I know I’m not allowed to cross that line even if I tried to cross that line I would’ve only been playing but it’s not very funny when people are going without food because of America games

taking relentless severe psychic damage from watching several hours of videos of television commercial advertisements from the United States in December 1999.
a world-historical moment, an all-time high peak of self-assured smirking arrogance.
ascendant home computers and internet modems. a new millennium! a time after Cold War but before Nining Leven, with saxophone-playing heads of state and cheery Spielbierg-ian sentimentality attempting to plaster over 1970s/1980s disappointments and hangovers with renewed millennarian End-Of-History optimism.
come celebrate with us! look at these images of The Nation! from sparkling Times Square and the cast of "Friends" in bustling cosmopolitan New York City, to sunny Californian prosperity, to those cartoonish frogs in the quasi-mythical Deep South-ish rural periphery of Budweiser ads, and all the suburban Midwestern Kay's Jeweler's in between! planetary hegemony. "Head east from the Colosseum, across the ruts of chariots, and you'll find an imperial estate built by a second-century Caesar. It's a rough ride. And if the agile and durable Chevy Tracker can handle these ancient roads, driving back home will be a walk in the park. Chevy Tracker: It Gets Around!"
or perhaps "our" power extends beyond this terrestrial imperium, into space, conquering the stars. UFOs; space aliens; The X-Files; Independence Day; Space Jam; Men in Black; the Phoenix Lights; Coast to Coast AM on the radio; Space Command in Colorado Springs.
the anxious fragility belied by the desperate constant promotion of an almost religious dedication to recognizable icons.
talking chihuahuas, marketing jingles, annual football game events. self-referential circular cross-promotion maelstrom.
"An all-new holiday spectacular, a Christmas special destined to become a family classic! With music from REM's Michael Stipe, voiced by Ally McBeal's Peter MacNicol, and starring Drew Barrymore! It's Olive the Other Reindeer! At 8/7 Central Fox Friday!"
trying to insist that this "classic" cultural iconography binds us. it has always lived in your heart. fabricating in real-time a supposedly shared history, insisting on this "reality" even at the moment of its very creation. hammering away at the soul.
Daffy Duck saunters in and pronounces: "Eat your way into the new millennium with this 'gigundo' party sub from Subway!"
why aren't you smiling?

pls share some Ken crumbs our siren-lover nation is dying 💔🥹
your word is my command <33
Tumblr media
(cws: kidnapping, drugging, forced transformation, obsession, manipulation/psychological torture, medical procedures)
"Open the tank."
The man with the red hair looks down on you, but he's not really seeing you. His eyes are glazed, almost fish-like in their opacity. They stare ahead like they're only coincidentally focused on you, but that doesn't make you feel any better when you're...like this.
You can't remember the last time you wore clothes at this point. It feels like you've spent your whole life in this tank, shivering and half-soaked with water that only comes up to your knees. He's only had it filled that much because he's prepping your body for more. Whatever that means.
Either way, the sound-operated unit responds to his smooth, cool voice, and the top of the glass containment slowly starts to slide open. The tank is only about ten feet by fifteen, just barely enough for you to move around without bumping your arms, but it only feels smaller when the top opens up. You cower in the corner like an animal; you're too scared of your kidnapper's touch to feel any differently. Ken reaches his arm down as he steps up on the platform, moving to offer you something. But you don't want it, you don't want anything from him, and you splash away in the foot or so of water in a panic as you rush to get away from him. He sighs as if it's just an everyday occurrence, and you're only being a passive menace.
"It's time for your medicine, darling. Come here."
You muster up only a few syllables. "G-Go away." Your voice trembles, but it doesn't deter Ken in the least.
"Take your medicine. I won't say it again."
Oh. He's starting to get impatient. Your hands shake. You don't want to see him angry--he gets cold and scary when he's angry. You ponder your options for a split second, but in an anxious jolt, you lunge forward to grab the pills from his palm and swallow them without thinking. Phew.
A smile splits Ken's face. He's proud. Proud. Pride isn't something you're used to, but you'll take it where you can find it. He reaches further and gently ruffles your hair over the edge of the tank.
"That's it. That's my good dolly. There, there...so good." The patting lasts for too long. It grows possessive, uncomfortable in the strength with which he gains as he strokes your scalp...but it ends sooner than you think and he finally steps back to give you space. As the top of the tank slides back, he crouches down in front of the glass and taps it to get your attention. He's got those dark bags under his eyes, and his hair is nearly falling out of its long braid, but he looks happy. Just tired.
"I love you, you know. You're going to be so happy with me. I promise, like I said, I'll let you out of the tank once the procedures are over." He presses his hand to the glass, each crease in his palm and every knuckle of his fingers practically glowing against the sterile window into the rest of the lab. "Soon, very soon, you'll be like me. We can...find our own path together."
As Ken talks, he reaches into his doctor's coat and pulls out a small vial--inside are the pills he's given you daily over the last week or so, which he dumps two of into his hand. Holding them up for a moment, he shows you their shape and size, proving to you that these are the same. And then he pops them into his mouth with a sip from his water bottle on the table full of surgical tools. As he wipes his mouth, the strain in his demeanor becomes more apparent, but he brushes it off like an expert to shoot you another disarming smile.
"I love you. Love you, love you, love you...and when your transformation starts, I'll be right here with you. I just have to-" At that very moment his pager goes off, and he sighs and hangs his head just for a second. Just long enough for you to creep closer towards the glass, lured by his sweet words. He pulls the little device out of his pocket and glances at it before tucking it back in. Without looking back, he stands and steps down from the platform with your tank to head towards the door of the lab. "I'll be back, sweetheart. I won't leave you alone much longer, I promise."
With that, the lights shut off, leaving you in darkness save for the glow from the edges of the tank where he's set up bioluminescent lights for you. It's too quiet without him, with only your own thoughts and the dim outlines of the laboratory furniture to comfort you. Aside from a myriad of medical equipment, there's only a small bed on the floor that's quite messy and a cooler full of instant foods for the microwave it sits on top of. Ken's spent so much time here since he brought you that he practically lives here under the hospital, though he promised to bring you to his home once this...procedure is finished.
Now the sleepiness is setting in. You glance around to find a comfortable spot to rest, though it leads back to that same mossy mound of pillows that Ken has lined the tank with for comfort. You settle down atop all of them, hoping not to get water up your nose as the drugs lull you towards a deep, heavy sleep.
Maybe, when you wake up in several hours, you'll finally start to notice the scales growing in that Ken told you would come up. Those and the little slits in your neck that flutter open when the water touches them, which is a feeling you'll have to get used to with time. But little do you know, Ken's going to see the fruits of his labour cropping up very, very soon, regardless of how frightening the transformation will be for you when it happens.
But even so...he's going to be so, so happy.

Space Shuttle Atlantis (OV-104) lifts off during her maiden voyage, STS-51-J.
"Space Shuttle flight 51-J marks achievement of another important milestone for the Space Trans portation System (STS): completion of the United States manned launch vehicle fleet.
This twenty-first STS flight is the first mission for the Space Shuttle Atlantis, the fourth Space Shuttle orbiter. Atlantis joins Columbia, with six flights; Challenger, veteran of eight space missions; and Discovery, which has flown six times.
This four-orbiter fleet will serve as the primary launch system for United States spacecraft well into the next decade, when two dozen Space Shuttle flights will be flown each year. These vehicles will transport spacecraft for the first legs of journeys to explore Jupiter, Venus, Mars, and the previously unseen poles of the Sun. They will deploy scores of communications satellites, carry hundreds of scientific experiments, and serve as construction bases for the United States Space Station. Citizens of more than a dozen nations will fly in space on these four Space Shuttles.
Like its sister ships, Atlantis was assembled by Rockwell International in Palmdale, California, with components manufactured in 46 states.
Space Shuttle mission 51-J carries four crew members, half of whom are space flight veterans. Commander Karol Bobko was the pilot for STS-6, and commander for mission 51-D. Mission special- ist Robert Stewart also flew on flight 41-B. Pilot Ronald J. Grabe and mission specialist David Hilmers are space flight rookies.
A payload built for the United States Depart ment of Defense is flying on this first flight of the Space Shuttle Atlantis."
