Cloaking broaches in rise

How do cloaking broaches work, like, I’m so curious. I assume it’s the gem, so I *assume* it can take other forms. (Like a ring or something, maybe.) But if one were injured while the broach is active, would the injury transfer onto the corresponding part of their original form? And can it be used in the opposite way, where a human could disguise as a mutant? And where does the gem come from, what’s the rarity, what region, how much does it cost? Does it just disguise the wearer, or does it change their actual *form* and not just appearance? Can they choose it, or is it chosen for them? Would it be based on DNA for the turtles? (Splinter’s) Can they only have the one form? Big Mama mentioned that her original form is more comfortable, so I’m curious if that’s because she’s just more used to her spider form, or something to do with the cloaking broach actually constricting her in some way. If one of the turtles wore a broach and while in human form, got an injury on their back, how would that transfer to their turtle form? Would it be under their shell? On their shell? Would their backs be harder in human form? Or normal. I have so many questions about mystics.

I’m so interested in the mystics, I wish we had more time and I hope rise gets a s3. There’s so much potential with just broaches alone, but imagine all the other mystic baubles. Draxum knows a lot about mystics and alchemy, I’d love to see his knowledge of the mystics more; like we did with the orb.

I am a ball of curiosity and I love rise, anyways, love. I hope this is compressible, my words do not often come out quite correctly when I’m writing out what I’m thinking, you know? ANYWHO, but for real this time, buh bye, please help. <3

why he broke it again to make sure it stayed as a telephone kiosk?

Shut up and take my latinum: Future tech in Star Trek

By Ames

Inspired by the future tech that we see in this week’s podcast episode covering Voyager’s “Future’s End,” your hosts here at the A Star to Steer Her By Corporation are cashing in by selling some of the everyday items you see in Star Trek as if we invented them ourselves. There are a lot of world-changing inventions that we see across the franchise, any one of which would have unfathomable impacts to society today. 

Sure, we’d probably tank the economy, no one would have jobs anymore, and we’d utterly destroy the timeline, but join our thought experiment pondering which piece of future technology we want the most for ourselves. Check out our products list below, listen to our sales pitches on this week’s podcast episode (discussion starts at 1:08:49) featuring guest star Justus, and buy now! Purchases made within the next thirty minutes come with a free exocomp!

Most popular product – Replicators

I mean, obviously. If your answer isn’t “Replicators, and did you know bears shit in the woods?” then you’re a filthy liar, so we’re all just checking this one off now and will each provide a pick of something else just for the sake of having more than just this one option. Even beyond thinking about how replicators could literally end scarcity worldwide, could feed the planet, and could make the economy entirely pointless, there are also the more personal applications. Don’t want to toil over a stove to make dinner or even wait for delivery to arrive? Never cook again! Never shop again! Never waste rotten produce again! Never stare into your fridge and feel like you’ve failed as a person who cannot feed yourself like an adult again!

And the STUFF! Wouldn’t it be nice if Amazon could be made obsolete because whatever we want would just appear at our request? Take that, capitalism! Really the only downside would end up being that gift giving would be nigh impossible. What do you give to the person who could replicate everything? 

Caitlin’s pick – Transporters

Once we took replicators off the table, Caitlin agreed with guest star Justus that transporters would be just aces to have. Face it: air travel is miserable in just about every way. You have to deal with the airport and all the human rights violations that happen there. Airplanes themselves are uncomfortable, claustrophobic, and full of rows and rows of absolute assholes. Bypass that entirely and beam directly to wherever you need to go! It’s probably even safer than driving, but what isn’t, these days?

And aside from traveling the world as easily as snapping your fingers, you can also transport STUFF with that same ease! Sure, it’d tank the entire shipping industry, but that’s pretty much screwed right now as it is! Beam yourself and your luggage without even having to fit anything in the overhead compartment. And you can transport more than 3 ounces of liquids to boot!

Ames’s pick – Medical equipment

Take it from me: it’s a perpetual nightmare simultaneously being a hypochondriac and a medicophobe. It would sure be a lifesaver (literally!) if figuring out what’s wrong with you and then treating said malady could be done with the wave of what’s effectively a magic wand. No one would have an excuse for not seeing the doctor anymore and complaining about whatever this weird pain is all the time. All the different medical technologies we see in the Trek future look noninvasive, painless, and modest. You don’t even have to take your pants off unless you feel like showing off to Julian!

Whether it’s medical tricorders, hyposprays, biobeds, or maybe just a whole Emergency Medical Hologram just for fun, even one item from the future would be lightyears better than the knives and sutures that we’re forced to deal with today. What is this, the Dark Ages?

Chris’s pick – Universal translators

Chris’s actual pick of the day is something that we’re already well on our way to but that Star Trek has perfected. None of your hosts here are fluent polyglots, and honestly the American culture doesn’t particularly value being able to speak another language in the same way that other cultures naturally do. “This is ‘Murica and we speak ‘Murican” is the unfortunate norm.

Which is why a universal translator would be such a boon. Imagine a world where non-English speakers are treated equally! Where we could listen to their stories, chat with them freely, learn more about people of the world who have different experiences, customs, beliefs, and tasty snacks we’d love to try. It’d be a small step to a unified Earth, but it’d be a good one. C’mon, Google Translate. You’re almost there.

Jake’s pick – Time travel

Jake has his choice for how to go about it but the end result is always the same: getting the hell out of this timestamp. You can use the Bajoran Orb of Time if Sisko is having particularly loose morals that day, or a timeship like we see in “A Matter of Time” or “Future’s End”, or whatever the hell chronitons are, or just a good old fashioned slingshot around the sun. Forward or backward, you’re on your way to somewhen else! Pack a lunch!

We postulate in our chatter about what kinds of events we’d like to observe (or participate in), but the possibilities are endless! And if something needs correcting to avoid a global catastrophe or just a mild embarrassment, you are covered. Time travel: the insurance of the future.

On sale – Honorable mentions

Check out some of the items on our clearance rack. This is all stuff that we’d love to have but not as much as the items above.

Artificial intelligence: Okay, once you get past the implications of creating sentient life, it’d be excellent having humanoid androids walking around, solving problems, being our best friends, maybe showing us how fully functional they are a little bit…

Holodeck: I’m shocked this didn’t make anyone’s top pick because the holodeck beats the entertainment of today in pretty much every way. The downside would be that we’d all almost certainly end up being holo-addicts after mere minutes.

Warp drive: This one is really pie-in-the-sky. It’ll be a great advancement to be able to travel outside of the Sol system, but remember: you’ll also need inertial dampeners and deflector dishes for this to realistically work. Without the package deal, you’re toast.

Cloaking device: Don’t tell me you’ve never thought about what you’d do if you were invisible. Just hiding from people you don’t want to see is on the positive side of this advancement. On the negative side, there’s all the peeping, stealing, and murdering, which will definitely become a problem.

The whatever-you-want device from Picard: What even was that thing? Spoilers for Picard season 1, but the tool that Saga gives the crew is basically just wizardry in a funky piece of plastic. What is it? Who knows? What does it do? EVERYTHING.

How Spirits Work.

So, Due to most of turtles being dead, you might be wondering how Leo and Mikey have jobs at Run of the Mill and how Donnie is still able to build his tech.

That's what this is for! This is how Spirits in Teenage Mutant Spirit Turtles work 101.

Here's how it works

The Turtles have been keep alive by their newly acquired Hamato Ninpo and the empyrean used in their mutation

Because the Hidden City has so much empyrean everywhere, the Turtles are able to have a physical form and easily interact with the world around them.

Therefore, the further the Turtle get from Empyrean, the more transparent and spirit-like they get.

But wait, There's more!

You remember the cloaking broaches? Those have small bits of empyrean inside powering the illusion.

So when the Turtles have one of those with them (the illusion doesn't need to be on or off) they can leave the hidden city and still be partly solid.

That should explain everything, but if I think of something else, then that will be added in a second part.

Hope this explains everything!

Danny’s in Gotham living as a regular civilian or even just a literal tourist.

He’s out late after getting a burger from Batburger and in an attempt to get back to where he’s staying faster he cuts through a few alley ways with some help from his powers to stay safe.

One of the bat fam hears something from an empty looking alley and shines a flashlight in it, directly into the face of a exhausted looking teenager.

Danny, because high powered light in the eyes hurt, hisses in pain, and then runs away after seeing who just attempted to blind him. Because they’re a Bat and Danny really doesn’t want to deal with Batman.

The next morning the GPD issues a warning about a suspected vampire with a described appearance that matches Danny’s a bit too much.

Danny may have forgotten his eyes shine like a cats and that the red Batburger sauce ended up on his shirt… and that he has fangs.

I've just realised something...

1. The number of slaughtered guards in the room Radovid was found weeping in was rather impressive, even for a simple "security detail".

2. While Ciri might have been a highly trained fighter, she may not have been able to defeat / fight them all off. If they'd been hiding in the bushes until the force field was down, then they might have been able to capture her.

3. Radovid told Jaskier he slipped away from his security detail, and promised him he was in no danger. So, it implies they'd been with him when he'd left the ball at Thanedd.

4. Given that said security detail was then found massacred in some common room, they apparently had absolutely no clue where Radovid was going, failed to find the Prince (if they attempted to search for him for a while), and then chose to return to the place they were assigned to stay to wait for him.

5. Dijsktra seemed awfully confident that Ciri was now in their possession when he spoke to Geralt. So, he was either expecting that:

a) Radovid would be too terrified to attempt defying his instructions to lead the large group of soldiers directly to Ciri.

b) Radovid would indeed attempt to give the soldiers the slip, but they'd have no trouble following his trail and barging in to capture Ciri (perhaps one of the reasons why Radovid pretended he was so bad at hiding with them earlier; so they wouldn't suspect he'd actually be able to "vanish" on them).

c) Since Radovid hadn't been told that the guards would be attempting to take Ciri, and instead really been asked by Philippa to draw Jaskier out for information (Jaskier is one of their "agents", too, after all). Dijkstra - that would have feigned just "wanting him out of the way" - would have been counting on Radovid being naive enough to believe the large soldiers contingent accompanying him "for his safety" was not acting under anyone else's orders... Nor for him to realize that if Jaskier wasn't attending the ball with Geralt and Yennefer, then that meant that he'd be with Ciri. And that his guards would be attempting to capture her if he followed Philippa's instructions.

Note: I'm leaning towards "c" and thinking Dijkstra and Philippa would be more keen on "using him", rather than openly involving him in their plans.

In that case, Radovid's attempt to talk to Ciri would not have been part of Dijsktra and Philippa's plans, but his own wish to convince her to come with him.

6. Either Philippa was the one that knew where Jaskier and Ciri were staying, and told Radovid while hoping he'd go there and lead the guards to them... Or Radovid is exceptionally good at tracking people on his own.

7. Either way, Radovid had refused to let his guards know where he was heading (or given them a false location), to keep Jaskier and Ciri safe from them.

8. Radovid is also exceptionally good at hiding and not being found, apparently. Because he did manage to lose a bunch of guards without getting caught.

I'm actually starting to think he wears that fur cloak to be able to hide his bright red clothes under it when trying to give his guards the slip at night.

It looks luxurious enough and like something a Prince would wear...

But it can also serve as camouflage, when you don't want to arise suspicion that you're planning to slip past your security detail and run off on your own that evening by putting on commoner clothing.

Even his hair color matches some of the lighter fur details of the cloak.

If he hadn't been making noises in that small corner, and had chosen a completely dark spot instead, I'm not sure Jaskier would even have noticed him...

Somehow, I have a feeling that he's been hiding in corners like this a lot throughout his life.

So, all of this brings me to the conclusion that, If Radovid going to see Ciri alone had been the actual plan, then Dijsktra comment about Geralt being "too late" would have meant that they thought Radovid showing up alone and unarmed would have been 100% sufficient to convince Ciri to leave for Redania's capital with Radovid, rather than go find Geralt and Yennefer; and/or wait for them to return to ask them if they thought it was a good idea/decide to all go together.

And that's... very unlikely...

So Radovid may have still been collaborating with Dijkstra and Philippa, but at least he was trying his best to keep Jaskier and Ciri safe...

Also, although I'm pretty sure the show won't go with that, I kinda like the idea that Radovid might be really talented at moving around without being seen / picking pockets and/or anything that has to do with hiding, actually.

Just imagining him joining Jaskier at some point, and everyone in Geralt's company is sort of a bit annoyed that they have yet another "non-fighter" to look after in the group...

But then, next morning, they wake up, and there's like a few extra weapons and bags of money in the camp, and Radovid is just "So, there's a Nilfgaardian outpost a few miles east. Thought it might make things more complicated for them, and easier for us, if I relieved them of some of their stuff. Hope that's okay?"

Or there are times where everything is just quiet, and Radovid goes "So I've been thinking...", making Jaskier jump out of his skin, because they've been walking side-by-side in silence for, like, 10 minutes now, but Jaskier never noticed he was right there.
