new Auditor voiceclaim for me is Debra Wilson as Jormag (GW2) [1] [2]
transcripts below because i know the “font” is hard to look at:
1st (from left and top, downwards)
Let me in...
But you need not fear me... No... You fear something far worse...
It is time I treated you with the respect you deserve. Speak face to face...
Join me...
2nd
Stand against me... And you stand alone
3rd
In time, you’ll realize you need me... And when you do... I’ll be waiting.

Things My Partner Knows About The Locked Tomb Through Osmosis
I am an unrepentant and annoying TLT fanboy, to the point where my partner has sworn to never read the books on principle (for this I respect them). However, given that I never shut up about these miserable books, they have picked up quite a bit of knowledge about them purely through my rants. With that in mind, I asked them to describe to me everything they think they know about The Locked Tomb (notes in italics are mine)
There are characters named Gideon, Nona, and… something like… Pacifica Sales Bonecruncher of the West? I'm pretty sure this is supposed to be Harrow's full name and title.
It's a scifi-fantasy world in a necromancy space realm 
There's… 10 kingdoms that are all part of an Empire? Or maybe houses? But they're part of a monarchy? 
The ruling classes of each of the realms gets summoned by God because they want to play a Hunger Games thing to find their… new God child? 
It's not a God child like he's gonna adopt them… it's like rebirthing them into a new god? They will also become God? 
Each one of the realms has a special quirk about them, something that's their specialty. Like, one realm are accountants. Shockingly accurate.
Gideon and Pacifica’s realm are like cool goth themed? More goth than the others. Extra-goth.
Oh there's a person named… Electra? They have long blonde hair and kickin curves and they're really hot? Everyone likes them? I'm pretty sure this is a conflation of Alecto and Corona as seen through reblogged fanart.
Personal philosophy aside rant: The whole necromancy-as-center of-an-empire thing… I find it kinda rude? I don't like the idea of people and their remains being used as a resource/tool. Like, I don't like using people as interchangeable cogs in a machine under someone else's control, both in life or in death. It doesn't seem consensual or respectful. In death your obligations should be released. 
I think Gideon has a big hero’s death while trying to save Pacifica, and then their… souls mingle? And then after that Pacific has Gideon-flavored intrusive thoughts? And I'm not sure if it actually is Gideon or just, like… the same as if you stare at the sun and get the after image burnt into your cornea. This isn't wrong, but I'm almost certain part of this is actually my ramblings about Baru Cormorant leaking through.
Is reincarnation or resurrection a thing? I feel like it should be in a necromancy setting. 
DIRECT QUOTE: “Is there a Jesus allegory in here? I feel like there is. Wait... Is Gideon Jesus?” Folks, upon hearing these words casually spoken out loud by someone with no knowledge of context, I straight up left my body.
God is just a chill dude. He's just a guy making pancakes, and occasionally he'll go “How's that whole Hunger Games thing going? You want a snack? I'm just gonna be over here.”
God was wanted by aliens or something? There's something bigger going on with entropy or heat death or the Discworld auditors and it's a problem for God and that's why he's doing the whole Hunger Games thing. 
I think God used to be not a God and that's why he's such a chill dude. And then there was a problem and everything was dying so he did something and necromancied everything and that's why he's God now and also why things are so weird? 
One of the groups from the houses was two annoying siblings who split from the party and died really quickly. 
Gideon is big and bulky and has short red hair.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
The building is dedicated to Ukraine's Independence Day on August 24, as the actual building is part of the president's office and is used as a residence for official and diplomatic ceremonies 🇺🇦
I finally finished this house after several rebuilds. No matter how hard I tried, the list of additional materials did not become much smaller. Rather less scattered. But do not be afraid: I divided the entire CC into 2 parts - for the facade and the interior. So if you don't need every detail, you can download just the exterior decoration part and furnish the house however you like. If a particular detail from the screenshots caught your eye - I will gladly share the link.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You might not hear it, but the alien plants from the Get to Work expansion make fantastic sounds, adding to the magical atmosphere.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I changed the back of the facade a bit because I wanted to place this building in Glimmerbrook, while the original building is much larger than lot I used for the house.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Of course, the sculptures only very remotely resemble the original ones. But I think the overall silhouette looks pretty similar if you think of the whole house as one sculpture.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The interior can also only remotely resemble the real one, solely due to its whimsicality.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Today, one of the halls of the building is used for face-to-face diplomatic meetings in light blue tones with Chinese motifs - the "Chinese" room. But you can use it as a dining room.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The exterior of the house is fully matched by its interiors with artistic paintings, marble, stucco decoration, wood carvings, and inlays. The fireplaces of the famous German company Mason are of great artistic value. There are spiral staircases, hunting-themed stained glass windows, and polygonal halls.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The free planning uses the principle of functional interconnection of isolated groups of rooms (halls, residential, utility), which is characteristic of luxurious residences of the beginning of the 20th century (when the house was built).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The architect of the building, Vladyslav Horodetskyi, is a unique and mysterious personality. In addition to his admiration for architecture, he also loved hunting. Therefore, perhaps he decorated the facade with his own dreams for himself for his 40th birthday.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Floor plans, more screenshots, additional info and DOWNLOAD here (always free).

[Simmerianne93]Simblreen2023_07_V1
Tumblr media
Hello beautiful people!!!
I hope everything is good for you today!!
I got the flu, so I'm a little bit sick but there are some more gifts left from Simblreen 2023.
Here you have the 7th posepack (Version 1). Some poses for a dangerous love between a human and a werewolf... As all my werewolf poses, I made two versions. This first version is to use with Natalia Auditore's oufit. V2 (That you can download here) is to use with the werewolf sim from "Werewolf gamepack".
I didn't really know what to do with a werewolf sim, but I knew that I wanted to do something, because I wanted to have at least one posepack of each occult creature (except the aliens because I never know what to do with them) so I was thinking about what to do until this scenario came to mind, a possible future scenario for my own werewolf story.
I don't know if my story will ultimately make use of these poses, but it's a possibility. I also think they could be some good poses for some of you who have similar stories:
A werewolf, transformed, afraid of harming the one they love, but the human being totally understanding and even when they are afraid, because who wouldn't be afraid of a beast?, approache the werewolf with the confidence that they won't hurt them... and the human being the necessary calming agent for the werewolf to lower their guard and return to their human body.
Yes, I'm quite a romantic, but what can I say, it's just a possibility haha, a distant possibility and I loved the result, hope you like them too.
Here you have the pose description:
----------
What is on it?
12 Duo poses  (Made with 2 human rigs) + 3 All in one.
What do you need?
Andrew's poses player 
Teleport any sim by Scumbumbo or Mccc by deaderpool.
Natalia Auditore's werewolf costume

I PROMISED I'D DO IT, IT'S TIME FOR REALS
HOTEL POD CHARACTER ROLLERCOASTER ASSIGNS!! BUCKLE UP!
Auditor- The Swarm.
Tumblr media
Listen this ride is post apocalyptic alien bugs, if that doesn’t give you the reason i’ve picked it for good ol’ Aud i don’t know what will. I think she’d enjoy the aesthetic of the giant metal big-aliens that have destroyed the entire surrounding area by flying through it and slicing it up; I think she’d fly alongside the coaster train going YEAAAAH, WHOOOOO!!!
youtube
The Hotel Herself- Nemesis.
Tumblr media
LOOK AT NEMESIS. LOOK AT HER. Metal bent around pulsing flesh and warped bone, she shoots laser beams out of her eyes in her original promotional advert, the water runs pink with blood around her. This is the Hotel Herself as a ride. Now, i think you could argue that The Hotel Herself could more accurately be a space themed ride, but Space Mountain just isn’t frightening enough to capture the cosmic horror of all that she is; so she gets my favorite of all time Nemesis assigned to her. Nemesis even had a themed hotel room at one point, it looked like rust and flesh! Perfect honeymoon suite if you ask me.
youtube
Lobby Boy- Saw The Ride.
Tumblr media
Our little freak is out here building his grody little rooms so I think it’s only fair he gets the ride themed to another little freak who builds rooms of deadly traps! (He is drinking out the corpse fountain on the ride's first inversion out the station…. oh dear, can he get diseases from that? Maybe..)
youtube
The Owner- Gatekeeper.
Tumblr media
While we’ve mainly stuck to rather dark and horror themed rides thus far i don’t think we solely need to be married to only picking scary rides when there’s only so many rollercoasters with a spooky feel; so i’ve gone gatekeeper here for The Owner, as i feel this soaring flying coaster that zooms not only over but THROUGH the main gate of it’s home park has the authoritative feeling that reminds me of him! He’s watching you enter, he’s in charge here this is his domain (in his eyes at least). Plus its logo has a bird on it, yayyy!!
youtube
(Sidenote: a runner up for The Owner was Oblivion!) The Concierge- The Wickerman.
Tumblr media
Why The Wickerman, I hear you ask, fire and wood doesn’t really feel like the Concierge’s vibe! But while it may not on the surface feel thematic let me tell you this ride is gorgeous, it is slick, it is a smooth, powerful ride and it is IMPOSING in the most breathtaking way; it feels claaaaaaassy and that’s the Concierge to me! Powerful, dangerous, but slick and classy and cool; walking through the queue line on a rainy day I could smell the rich wood, and I thought to myself damn. This is a coaster that would pair nicely with a glass of cognac. And the Concierge, to me, is a man that pairs well with a glass of cognac too. Also the first time i rode The Wickerman i screamed the entire layout including out of the station, jesus christ that thing whips round the course when it’s warmed up, it’s like it’s ANGRY at you.
youtube
The Manager- Manta.
Tumblr media
We weren’t going to be able to go the entire list without assigning at least ONE character one of my favorite types of rollercoaster, the B&M flying coaster! Now, while i am more familiar with Galactica, i don’t think ‘the world's most relaxing coaster’ really fits as a theme for the manager; but sea life? Well, she’s a deep sea kinda gal i think! Manta is a shoal (flock? swarm??) of manta rays that swoop and soar, and while yes aesthetically and in description this sounds quite relaxing, these manta rays are blasting high speed through loops you’ll take ON YOUR BACK which is an incredibly unique and fairly intense feeling at times! I think The Manager likes to keep up her appearances, keep up looking and feeling calm, cool and in control, so i think a flying coaster fits her well; elegant but not without any bite! This ride also has a water fountain fly-by effect, get sprayed!!
youtube
The Bellhop- Th13teen.
Tumblr media
The Bellhop to me has such a mischievous streak, a little smirk that lets you know you can’t quite trust what she might do next; and without giving TOO much away about Th13teen (as i feel this is a ride WORTH not spoiling 'till you see the pov/ride it) it’s a ride that is much the same! Meticulously themed as some abandoned old structure in the accursed woods, overgrown and dark and impossible to see until you are on it, this ride will lure you into a false sense of security and then pull off some TRICKS you just won’t see coming!! When I rode this for the first time I genuinely yelled ‘Oh don’t you dare you are KIDDING me!!’ when it pulled one such trick lol.
youtube
There we go, this concludes my list; i do not claim to be the biggest expert nor the best at this, i really love coasters but my knowledge isn’t a complete encyclopedia of every single ride, my main expertise is the park i've been to (Alton Towers) as i don't get to go to too many in person and don't live in the states where some of the more well known rides are- so of course if you have others you think are better suited feel free to make your own assigns!! This was just for funsies, thank you for coming along with me to talk about some coasters! :]

I read all of The Honest Life of a Game Studio and now I am obsessed do you have recs for anything like it.
I wish. I FUCKING WISH. but it’s really one of a kind. higefusa really just wrote mundane slice of life office drama with the level of detail that could only be provided by a gamer who has worked in the industry AND he threw in some life or death stakes as a treat. how often do we get an incredibly normal office worker stuck in time prison??? and it’s ONE ARC??? not often enough.
none of these are gonna be just like game-ya but in terms of romances with attention to detail for industry/niche fields… ok all of these are gonna be kind of weird so bear with me.
double section is a BL about an auditor for an insurance company and an insurance salesman, I wouldn’t necessarily give it a blanket rec but I liked how Passionate the main characters were about audits and workplace regulations. a lot of heated drama for the most normal office setting possible. in the author’s note the artist talks about interviewing health insurance salesmen.
ginmokusei is more of a conventional BL but it’s about a guy who inherited his grandpa’s tailor shop and an ex maître d who shows up and demands to help him before he goes bankrupt. there’s a little bit about branding and marketing and bank loans. what has Always Stayed With Me is when the love interest basically goes like ‘you’re using all these flashy ads and being really pushy with discounts. are you selling beef bowls.’ every time I pass a clothes shop that goes really flashy with the discount banners I think ‘are they selling beef bowls…’
panel x magic. okay I said it was going to be weird. so this yuri is about a recent graduate who applies for office jobs and ends up doing image editing for… I guess a brothel? it doesn’t go into critiques of the sex industry, but I thought it was interesting how it takes a really logistical perspective in terms of marketing, advertising, and image manipulation… one of the chapters has the main character going like ‘oh god I’m trying to edit this risqué photo by making the thighs thinner and giving the face a glow-up but I keep making the model look like a weird alien this looks like something from a photo booth’ and gets advice from her coworkers like ‘hey why don’t you look up makeup tutorials to get a sense of what to touch up.’ hasn’t been translated in a while but it kind of hits that… really in-depth look at the logistics of a job.
I think there’s more I’m not remembering at the moment, at one point I think sundry made a joke about rating office romances by how much office work is shown. there’s a couple ones that *kinda* fit but not really… wait. wait wait wait. WAIT. oh my god it has such a h•rny title. okay. so I’m being 100% sincere when I say that the main story for hammered and pounded is a BL with interesting office politics. it’s also incredibly h•rny, but game-ya gets pretty h•rny so whatever. but yeah there’s a whole subplot where the love interest, who works in sales, has actually always wanted to work in R&D, and it becomes A Whole Thing where the head of R&D is in conflict with the head of sales over whether or not a transfer is gonna happen and there’s no romance involved with the conflict it’s all office politics
and in a similar vein, to your right, you will see my boyfriend is about a guy who’s working as a tour guide in kyoto and at the artist talks about how she used to work as a tour guide. I think it’s fun, though I have my qualms. the main character does do studying about how to be an effective tour guide and goes from being like ‘ugh I’m saying all the facts but no one’s listening’ to ‘haha check out this extremely long name of the temple we’re about to see! make sure to remember it, it’ll be the password for getting off the bus ;D’
I have another category of vaguely similar vibes of genre bending mundane office work + fantastical situations
tokusatsu gagaga is a gen series that’s a BIG fave of mine, the main character is an OL who loves tokusatsu so she imagines a lot of scenarios with that sort of vibe. it’s not diagetic, but it’s really fun when it’s stuff like ‘I’M AT KARAOKE WITH MY COWORKERS BUT I CAN’T OUT MYSELF AS A TOKUSATSU OTAKU THIS IS JUST LIKE BEING ATTACKED BY A KARAOKE-THEMED MONSTER EMERJASON HELP ME!!!!’ the eng tl hasn’t been updated in a while but there’s a live action adaption that’s really good
magilumiere co. ltd. is a gen series that’s basically ‘what if magical girls were like… sanitation workers for monsters’ so it’s a lot of company logistics in a fantastical setting. I don’t think I got that far into it before getting distracted, but it was interesting (though perhaps overly generous/idealistic about start-ups as a concept).

Newish Comics:
Ape-ril Special #1: okay this was just wholesome silly fun and I enjoy multiple of the simian characters in this story (and enjoyed getting to know several more). Apparently Mallah and the Brain broke up in Doom Patrol? I might need to read Doom Patrol.
Also the Bobo story is really, really good, but that's not unusual for Bobo stories.
Batman/Superman: World's Finest #25: IT'S THE SHAZAM WIZARD'S TRAIN! Sorry, I've read this origin for Billy in at least half a dozen separate retellings PLUS flashbacks. I enjoyed Waid and Mora dropping in a panel of their alien dinosaur auditors (though these ones were dinosaur police!)
The Warlord #44: this week in Skartaris Travis Morgan is sent on a quest to acquire the jewel hidden within a tower.
This is the tower.
Tumblr media
If you get my drift? I do, all too well.
Here our noble heroes discuss how they'll scale the tower.
Tumblr media
They encounter venereal disease!
Tumblr media
Travis Morgan can't fire off his shot (as he's once again out of bullets)!
Tumblr media
And inevitably the tower ends up on fire!
Tumblr media
(also there's a bit more than just dick jokes to the actual plot, but the most interesting aspect is that Shakira apparently remembers and misses the Ancient Atlantean cities? Shakira, I know cats have 9 lives, but those cities have been gone for FAR MORE than 9 lifetimes!)

Jeb, Sheriff, and Audi react to Future!Soldier!Reader
Tumblr media
For those wondering, FSR stands for "Future Soldier Reader" and it merely means that Soldier!Reader is from the far future instead of the WW2 era. An image of FSR can be seen here. Audios: Radio Corruption FSR Digital Sounds
-- Jeb is more than surprised when he enters the lab of the AAHW facility, finding exactly what Sheriff was screeching about hysterically over the radio to be true. It was a real creature. He just thought that Sheriff was finally driven into madness from something the moment he got on the radio desperately trying to contact Jeb through a haze of interference and static. The Sheriff was screaming into the receiver about how something literally fell out of the sky and that it was some form of ‘monster’. It was hard to make out what he was saying through all of the interference with the equipment Jeb was hearing. Jeb was simply left confused as the line eventually went dead silent, even his receiver stopped responding when he tried to reach back and find out where Sheriff was. It was futile to reach out and he had no idea where The Sheriff was. All he could do was wait. About an hour of silence and rising tension later, he was finally called on the radio to report to the local AAHW facility by the Auditor himself…so something BIG must’ve happened if it caught the Employer’s attention. Jeb then quickly headed out towards the facility, finding it buzzing with increased activity. Which quickly piqued his interest. Upon coming inside, he was quickly ushered by Engineers to the depths of the facility, finding more and more armed guards everywhere the deeper he went. As well as some highly regarded scientists running around the facility with heaps upon heaps of paper in their hands. Jeb was simply confused as he continued to be escorted to a certain area. His inquiries about what was happening and why there were so many armed guards stationed about going ignored. But upon arriving, he finally understood why there were so many guards and scientists hustling about. A large form was suspended by wires that hung from the ceiling of the facility’s depths. Wings as long as four buses hung from its back, its face completely covered with a darkened visor, and sporting a body made of pure metal. Limbs as long as 4 AAHW vans put together and an equally long body that slowly resonated with an eerie green glow. Highlighting the rotation joints and illuminating the mechanical parts within its torso that could be seen through a small window in the chest region. The beast was unlike anything Jeb has ever seen. Scientists of numerous higher rankings hurried by Jeb as he walked towards the suspended entity with wide eyes from behind his black sunglasses. Staring at the inanimate form of the alien creature in silent awe. It was…stunning…and yet so strangely familiar. Jeb then turns his attention to the Auditor, who he now realizes was standing on the catwalk that jutted out towards the dozing creature. His back to Jeb as he approaches. “You could’ve come a bit more quickly, Jebediah. Regardless, you can obviously see why I urged you to come as fast as you could. It seems we’ve made quite the discovery.” The Auditor speaks out, his back still facing the doctor as he crosses his arms. “A foreign entity that crashed into Nevada from the worlds beyond. In a form we have never seen and with powers we have yet to reveal. An interesting opportunity, wouldn’t you agree?” The Auditor continues before finally turning and fixating Jeb with his burning red gaze. “It’s…so…different. I didn’t expect something like this! Where’s the Sheriff?? Did this thing do something to him??” “No. He’s in the infirmary at the moment, being checked over both psychologically and physically. He was an inconsolable wreck by the time we arrived on the scene from his constant pings for assistance. But upon finding such a unique creature out in the wilds of Nevada, the fleet reached out to me for assistance. The Sheriff will be down in a few moments once the medical staff gets him to stop blathering about like an insane lunatic.” The Auditor says, looking up towards the creature suspended on the wires. “This creature was rendered unconscious from their fall. At first we thought the creature was dead, but further analysis from our equipment shows that it still has a pulse. A slow and steady one, similar to how grunts become when they enter a deep sleep. It’s alive. It just hasn’t awakened yet.” “What?! That thing is alive?! What if it awakens and proceeds to tear this facility apart?!” “You think I don’t know that, Jeb?!” The Auditor growls to his companion, eyes narrowed dangerously before blinking steadily and continuing. “The creature is asleep and we are taking this ripe opportunity to study it and keep it as sedated as we can. We’ll wake it up eventually, but only after we collect sample data about it. A creature like this is not in ANY existing server or database…not even in the Employer’s database. It’s a new entity and I will take the necessary precautions to keep it sedated while we research it.” The Auditor finishes, looking up at the beast in question. A moment of silence passes. “I guess that’s where I come in. To help research this creature?” Jeb inquires as he steps up to the end of the catwalk, looking up at the large figure. “Obviously. Sheriff will be added as another layer of security and you’ll be the temporary head of the research team. We need information and additional protection from that damned Wimbleton while we undergo our studies on this new beast. I’ll be monitoring this site extensively and consulting with my fellow employers about the status of Nevada. In the meantime, I expect you to work on getting as much information about this beast as you can.” The Auditor then begins to walk away, leaving Jeb to stare at the towering form of the slumbering alien alone. “I expect results in a timely manner, Jeb!” The Auditor shouts from behind him before oozing into the ground, making Jeb look over his shoulder for a moment before staring back at the snoozing beast. “Well…this is certainly a project.” – The more that Jeb studies the creature, the more stunned and invested into the project he becomes. The project, now named PROJECT: OTHERWORLD, has been an eye opener for the staff here in the AAHW facility. Jeb has drawn blood, fluids, and even flesh samples from the beast and each one comes back different and with unique properties. The blood had a similar consistency to oil at most, not necessarily being a lesser thick fluid like the blood of grunts. The fluids he managed to take from certain non-organic sections of the beast even had chemicals that made the grease and fluid similar to both blood and sweat. Making the joints lubricated enough to move without constant oiling. Then the flesh seemed to be partially synthetic and it had rubber-like qualities to it. That means that this beast was both robotic, inorganic, and organic at the same time! That’s…well…before they found this beast, it was SEEMINGLY impossible. If they could copy this genetic makeup, maybe the next step in the grunt evolution line could be– Jeb’s focus is then broken by the sound of the observatory room’s door opening, making him pull his eyes away from the screen with the genetic code being displayed to look who walked on in. Finding the Sheriff coming inside grumbling about the medical staff he encountered before his visual cross fixates on Dr. Christoff. “Oh. Howdy  there, Christoff.” “Hello, Sheriff. I take it that you have received a clear bill of health?” Christoff says, flicking his glasses up a little to squint at the grunt in question before allowing them to slide back down. “Heh. Yeah. Had to sedate me in order for me ta, as they said it, ‘calm the fuck down and quit being delirious’. I was having a NORMAL reaction to seeing some foreign alien shit fall into Nevada!” The Sheriff argues and looks on in bemusement as Jeb chuckles in response. “Harhar, Jeb.” The Sheriff huffs before a moment of silence forms in the room. Both grunts stare out the large bay window that led to the main chamber that suspended the large being from the ceiling. Its form is still and silent, but everyone in the facility was aware that it was merely sleeping and not dead. But none knew how long it would stay that way. The thought was enough to make the Sheriff himself let out a small shudder. “So…” The Sheriff begins. “Did ya and tha other eggheads find out anything about this…thingamajig?” Sheriff is surprised to see Jeb nod in confirmation. “Yes. I have been sitting here analyzing the samples that me and the other scientists have managed to claim from the being and…their biology makes no sense! The being is both organic AND inorganic, with robotic and electronic parts all strewn about in it. However, there are some pieces of their biology I can’t seem to decipher, but some samples have been leased out to the Nexus’s Cores best scientist. A dear friend of mine, Hoffnar. We should hear back from him in a few days.” Jeb explains, typing on the interface and jotting down some notes. The Sheriff merely stands nearby, all confused. “Leasing the samples out? Aren’t ya worried that something might happen ta it?” “Yes. We took the proper precautions, friend. We mislabeled the packages intentionally and marked them with a special serial number that has been told to Hoffnar. Our true treasures are hiding under a label of something inconspicuous, like office supplies. So you need not to worry.” Jeb says, watching the monitors as the Sheriff lets out a hum of understanding. Another moment of silence passes. “What do ya think the Auditor wants with this confounded thing, Jeb? Would it be smarter to just…you know…terminate it before it wakes up and buries us all under boot hill?? Ah swear, it’s like not one soldier in this joint has an idea of what ta do if that thing breaks outta here!” Sheriff frets. Jeb lets out a sigh. “That has to be seen in time, Sheriff. I just know that this creature is valuable to him…and it apparently isn’t even a resident of Nevada. From what The Auditor said, it came from “outside of Nevada”. How did it get here? Well…we may never know that answer. It’s just that whatever the Auditor and the other employers have planned…I hope  protecting Nevada is in mind.” Suddenly, an error appears on the screen, causing Jeb and Sheriff to look up at the monitor as the error flashes brightly and shows a deteriorating percentage rate. “Hmm?!” Jeb grunts as he stands up out of his seat and tries to type on the interface as the bar continues to decrease. “Shit!” He cusses, making the Sheriff hurry to his side in fear. “What in tarnation is going on??” The Sheriff asks in worry as Jeb desperately tries to get the console to respond. Then, a sound that made both grunt’s blood freeze over rings out from the observation bay. Both grunts look out of the bay windows as they can see the scientists that were out there freeze in place…and one of the giant wings of the creature begins to move. The scientists begin to flee in fear as the beast begins to shift. Its large limbs start to move and adjust as the visor flickers on and off. “IT’S WAKING UP!?!?” The Sheriff practically screams as the percentage bar on the monitor falls faster and the nearby consoles begin to crash. “I thought the doggone thing was sedated?!?” “It was! It’s resisting!” Christoff cusses as the console he was typing on finally red screens and crashes, making him slam a fist against the keyboard. Jeb wastes no time and triggers the emergency alarm and uses his tablet to ping the Auditor directly as he gets up from his chair and begins to run throughout the facility. “Where are you GOING–Aw HELL!!” The Sheriff yells after Jeb as he tries to keep pace with Christoff. “To the bay!” “What?! Why!!?” “I just…I need to see it!” “CAN’T YOU WAIT UNTIL WE FIND OUT WHAT IS GONNA DO TA US FIRST?!” “I don’t know what will happen, but if things go bad, I’ll be fine!” Jeb ignores the further screams from Sheriff as he dodges panicking scientists and agents that were trying to escort the staff to safety and take control of the situation. The bay doors were still open when Jeb ran through them, sprinting on the catwalks that led up to the beast. He had no idea if this was foolish or not, but he just…there was something in his gut that just kept telling him that this being was big…but not hostile. It could be his own curiosity that kills him here, but he was banking on his intuition. It’s rarely ever wrong…but that doesn’t mean today could be a bad day to gamble. Jeb stops short of the catwalk that ended directly in front of the large creature. Looking up at it as the lights on the body flickered to life and grew in intensity every waking moment. The sound of the bay doors and emergency exits sealing shut only meant that Jeb had made his choice and was left to his fate. Despite the panicking grunts that lay just outside of the observation bay and the blaring alarms that rang around him, Jeb could pick up on the sound of the being coming to life even more. The long limbs that once hung limply sprang to life and reached up to pull and yank at the wires that kept it suspended. Pulling on them with force as the wires easily snap and the hoses that were delivering the sedatives were severed. Leading to lots of sparking and fluid to pool on the ground below the catwalks as the head jostles about. Finally, with one massive heave, the wings from behind the beast spread out. Destroying the catwalks that were present to the sides as Jeb takes a cautionary stance as more wires pop and the weight of the being brings it down from the ceiling. A tremor rings out as the beast lands on the ground, shaking Jeb around like a mere ragdoll as the beast finds its footing and stands on its own two long legs for the first time. It was finally awake. Jeb could only stand and watch it in awe as the being stood up straight and tall. The metal of its chassis creaking and popping as the visor on its head finally flickers to life. Casting the lone scientist in front of them in an eerie green light. Again, despite the atmospheric noise surrounding them both, Jeb can hear the sounds that the creature was emanating. Clicking, beeping, and mechanical whirring were all present in the room and eventually the alarm was silenced from the outside. Finally giving Jeb a moment to actually listen in on the being as it was…speaking?? He couldn’t really tell what it was saying…IF it was saying anything. But with the eerie calm that resonated throughout the bay, Jeb came to realize another source of sound that radiated from the creature. Breathing. He could hear it breathing. The sound permeated throughout the bay like a droning hum…and Jeb was nothing short of enthralled. But he also took into account the visor that was now illuminated and fixated on him. Staring at him…like it was watching him just as he was watching it. Like it was…thinking. Then, much to his sudden surprise, the bay doors are suddenly released and the beast turns its attention away from him as Jeb does the same. Looking toward the entrance, he sees the Auditor and the Sheriff coming down the catwalk. The Auditor with a rather miffed look on his face as he glares at Jeb, no doubt for the reckless thing that he did, before his gaze flicks upwards to the towering beast. The Sheriff was trying to not look as cowardly as he could, but he could obviously be seen trying to hide behind the Auditor as the closer to the alien they got, the more he would slink behind the employer. When they both came to a stop, the creature stared at them as well. Not showing any signs of hostility, just as Jeb’s gut had predicted. It merely looked at them as they did the same. “Is…is it friendly?” The Sheriff manages to squeak out as Jeb and the Auditor don’t take their gazes off the large being. “Well…I’m not a bloody smear on the ground, now am I?” Jeb mutters in response. “Jeb, what you did was absolutely foolish. If it had been hostile, you would’ve died. Don’t you ever do something that reckless again. Not while I need you alive to help study this creature.” The Auditor scolds, giving Jeb a cruel side-eye as Jeb huffs in response. Then, the group flinches as a series of clicks are heard coming from the being. To which, a sudden bright blue light shoots out from its visor, startling them. The light goes up and down twice before it goes away entirely with a content beep. Leaving them stunned for a moment. “Did…did it just scan us??” Jeb mutters curiously as the being then turns its head to the side. The most unexpected thing happened after that. In which, the beast actually SPOKE. “⊑⟒⌰⌰⍜.” The group nearly jumps out of their skins as the digital garble that filled the room for a moment rattles their ears, leaving them wincing. The group stands in silence as the creature turns its head to the side, as if it was waiting for a greeting as well. “There ain’t no way in hell that thing just spoke.” The Sheriff utters in surprise as the other two blink steadily. “Astonishing…it’s capable of communication.” Jeb states breathlessly as he is awestruck by the subject in question. Meanwhile, the Auditor places a finger on his chin and an unseen smile seems to cross his face as he takes in the sight of the creature before him. Now not a simple mindless beast…but an alien figure that is fully capable of speech and intelligence. “Interesting…” The Auditor states, staring at the large foreign being with a sparkle of intrigue. Things have certainly just gotten very, VERY interesting for his organization against that damned Hank Wimbleton.

favorite madcom character . bangs my fist AND maybe share a neat little bc you have about that character ... perhasps
AUDITOR‼️‼️‼️‼️ (my fave ever (Phobos is a close second however ), now something to share about auditor hmmmmm (has thought about this guy for so much that his hc’s ares a mix of oh they would do this silly thing! Vs let’s put him through the horrors/how can I anaylse this character and make him endlessly tragic !)(also currently blanking so hmmmmmm)
Guess funny lil hc is this guy would probably Roblox and have the most expensive avatar ever and constantly stand out whenever he plays (would probably play Tycoon games )
Something more akin to “how can I analyze this character and make them endlessly tragic “ would be I think there is certain fascination they have with humans (or grunts in this case) , so thst while their main objective is to keep Nevada stable and bring order to chaos, they are very much interested in learning about humans and all their habits and cultures(hence why they even bother like actually interacting and being near them unlike the other employers) (and I think would even begin picking up on certain behaviors and habits, essentially becoming the most “human” out of the employers but also alienating them from said employers). There is still that certain disconnect they have and despite it all they still do very much see humans as below them, they’re just curious in a scientist ? Kinda way . (I have no idea if I’m making sense ) Essentially just kinda being stuck in between, bit too “human “ to really be with the rest of the employers but too “god-like” to actually be with humans
Also something soemthing about their existence being so tied to what they do that they can’t really imagine living another life but still occasionally feeling discontent or just flat out boredom with what they do
IDK IF THAT MADE ANY SNESE THERE BUT LIKE. I HAVE THOUGHTS.

THE FAIR TAX
In all fairness, the "Fair Tax" as described by Neil Bortz in his book, would be the greatest thing to ever happen to America. 23% national sales tax? YES, but ELIMINATE the IRS ALTOGETHER!
No agents, No Auditors. No Need. EVERYBODY pays taxes, but only on brand new products. New Car? Taxed. Used car? No tax.
Who is everybody? Illegal (criminal)Aliens, Drug Dealers, Organized Crime Bosses, Politicians, Prostitutes. visiting foreigners. EVERYBODY
Why is it called FAIR? No one HAS to file taxes and report to the government what you earned, but if you choose to, you can file an income form to be reimbursed for taxes paid, if your income is below determined levels.
New Home? Taxed. Used NO FEDERAL TAXES
No Capital gains taxes, no social security taxes, no medicare, NO CORPORATE TAXES
ALL FEDERAL TAXES ELIMINATED
No Corporate taxes? Really?! YES!!! Companies don't have a big pile of money sitting over there designated "Taxes" Companies have cash flow. Raise taxes, they raise prices. BIG SECRET Companies don't pay taxes. Consumers do in the form of higher prices!!
23% Sales tax? Yes, But corporate tax rates are 39%. EVERYBODY (remember) would pay 23% on LOWER PRICED GOODS AND SERVICES.
Think about how competitive American Goods would become overseas if we dropped (costs) prices by 40%!!
Jobs that left America would return. Jobs that were never here would come flooding in
BEST IDEA EVER!!!
I DON"T BELIEVE THAT HILLARY (Read my lips- No New Gasoline taxes) HALEY WOULD EVER ACTUALLY SUPPORT THE FAIR TAX, But it looks like a conservative position that you know that you'll never actually 'push come to shove' defend
Screw Nikki and her open borders and sanctuary cities

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
April 1979, October 1979, and August 1980. These novels by Brian Daley were not the first STAR WARS tie-ins, but they were the best of the early phase, and a strong influence on later SW media. The creative success of these exciting, frequently very funny books, which chronicle three adventures of Han Solo and Chewbacca prior to the first movie, had a lot to do with Daley himself. According to Daley's friends and his partner, novelist Lucia St. Clair Robson, Daley was Han Solo, or close to it: a brash military veteran with no love of authority, a fondness for sports cars and motorcycles, and a notoriously sarcastic sense of humor that concealed a heart of gold. Ironically, Daley, who genuinely loved STAR WARS, would have preferred to explore the history of the Jedi, but Lucas declared that off-limits, and imposed many restrictions on what Daley could and couldn't use from the films. For that reason, the novels take place on the fringes of the Empire: The first two books are set in the Corporate Sector, a region administered semi-autonomously by corporate interests with their own ruthless Security Police (an idea that clearly inspired some of the plot of ANDOR), while the third is set in the Tion Hegemony, a remote principality.
HAN SOLO AT STARS' END has Han and Chewie roped into aiding a group of people whose relatives have been "disappeared" by the Corporate Sector Authority, which is quietly rounding up dissidents and sending them to a secret facility called Stars' End. After Chewbacca is captured by the Security Police, Han concocts an elaborate, harebrained scheme to rescue his friend and the other "lost ones" from the galaxy's most closely guarded high-tech prison. Naturally, things don't go quite as planned, leading to a spectacularly ludicrous finale. (Spoiler: Han accidentally launches the prison complex into space.) This novel was subsequent adapted for the STAR WARS newspaper strip by Archie Goodwin and Alfredo Alcala, although the adaptation unfortunately isn't a patch on the original.
HAN SOLO'S REVENGE finds Han and Chewbacca, desperate for cash, taking a job that turns out to involve transporting slaves. This is a line our heroes will not cross, so after dealing harshly with the slavers, Han agrees to help a Corporate Sector Authority auditor named Fiolla of Lorrd track down the ringleaders of the operation, one of whom is her once-trusted assistant, Magg. Meanwhile, Chewbacca is forced to contend with a stubborn skip-tracer called Spray, who is determined to repossess the Millennium Falcon over Han and Chewie's unpaid bills!
HAN SOLO AND THE LOST LEGACY has Han and Chewbacca agreeing to help Han's old buddy Badure, Badure's friend Hasti, and an academic named Skynx locate a legendary lost starship, the Queen of Ranroon, the fabled treasure ship of an ancient tyrant called Xim the Despot. (The skull on the cover is Xim's emblem.) Although this sounds like it was influenced by RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, the book was actually published almost a year before the premiere of RAIDERS.
Although the novels make clear that Han is not overly fond of droids, the books give Han and Chewbacca a pair of droid companions: a laconic old labor droid called Bollux, and a small, extremely sophisticated, disconcertingly enthusiastic computer probe called Blue Max, who "lives" within a compartment in Bollux's chest. Here's how Alfredo Alcala depicted them in the comic strip:
Tumblr media
Daley also includes some delightful aliens, including the skip-tracer Spray, who's a Tynnan — basically a sentient beaver with the dexterity of a raccoon — and the Ruurian academic Skynx, a sentient caterpillar who's determined to complete as much of his research as he can before entering the next phase of his life cycle and becoming a chroma-wing who'll have little memory of his former identity.
A useful companion for the first two books is Michael Allen Horne's HAN SOLO AND THE CORPORATE SECTOR SOURCEBOOK for the West End STAR WARS RPG, published in 1993:
Tumblr media
Aside from the inevitable game statistics and some quite decent illustrations of the novels' characters, the sourcebook fleshes out Daley's conception of the Corporate Sector Authority, explaining how the Corporate Sector functions and its relationship to the Empire. This is narrated in part by Han Solo himself, which is presented as excerpts of later interviews with an Alliance historian named Voren Na'al (a common conceit in the WEG game books that works especially well here). The sourcebook is best read after the novels, since it explains their plots in detail, but it's a worthwhile supplement. Unfortunately, a planned followup describing the Tion Hegemony was never published before West End Games lost the SW license.
Brian Daley's other major contribution to STAR WARS lore was scripting the NPR radio adaptations of the first three movies. STAR WARS originally aired in the spring of 1981, THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK two years later. Daley also wrote the later adaptation of RETURN OF THE JEDI, but he died of cancer in early 1996, at the age of 49, so the final drafts were completed by John Whitman.
