WARNING: FLASHING LIGHTS
Out of all the flashing lights GIFs, this is probably gonna be the flashiest and harshest on the eyes. So, sorry in advance. But yeah, this was a fun GIF to edit together. I always love beam clashes and laser super moves so I thought I'd my favorite (Iron Man's Proton Cannon) and one from another game I can green screen (Dizzy in Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator). I followed this guide to green screen GGXrd Rev 2.

STAR WARS EPISODE I: The Phantom Menace 01:46:37
An interesting thing here is that the mustachioed security guard in the speeder is carrying a battle droid's E-5 blaster. Really shows that they were using everything they could find to fight back.

'B team', part of a larger mercenary force sent to the coastal city-state of Sunlanding on contract to break the offensive of Könist Hydropower's military branch, the River Patrol, which seeks to take Sunlanding to consolidate the corpo-state's power over the river and surrounding wetlands.
Lohan Scott light mechs are the second most common type on Sond, and by far the most common in use by mercenaries. Different models vary wildly between each other, and B team uses one of the more stripped down models, the 60: Easier to maintain, which suits their usual mission profile of only limited external support.
Their main armaments are semi-automatic 80mm cannons - common on rebel light tanks during the revoloutionary war, they function well enough against mechs and light vehicles, although fare poorly against main tanks. The leftmost mech is armed with a 25mm smartcannon instead. Smartcannons are odd weapons - by all means the ubiquity of LPDs (Laser Point Defences) should render them useless, but in ambushes and in protracted combats where fragile laser emitters can suffer damage, they still remain a tangible threat.

Assorted Post-TotK Spirit Tracks AU thoughts:
The main technology you use is the Robbie Rucksack—mirroring the Purah Pad, Purah did most of the designing, but Robbie got to name it. Turnabout is fair play.
It gets upgraded as you go with more and more features, like a grappling hook, paraglider wings, a dowsing rod, etc.
Its most important feature, though, is the ability to switch tracks (hence locking Link into a specific rail until Zelda joins his side).
Link is piloting the first ever engine in the modern day, the Sheikah Engine. The tutorial segment is him driving it to Lookout Landing Station, so Zelda can name him Hyrule’s first official engineer.
The cannon you get later is actually a guardian laser.
The Railway Tower is the central hub for the rails that spread across Hyrule initially. Purah runs it.
Beneath it, in the Depths, Josha (now 16, eagerly talks about taking a trip to Mt. Lanayru on her birthday) has excavated what looks to be some kind of seal. Onlooker in the ZST crowd seems unusually interested and lavishes Link with an absurd amount of praise.
Shortly after the ceremony, Josha rushes in and says there’s an emergency. Right then, something BURSTS out of the ground beneath the tower, shattering it to smithereens—Purah barely escapes. The stone tower dwarfs the other rail towers around Hyrule in size, reaching from the Depths all the way up to the Sky. Link has to use it to switch his train between map layers.
Calling it the Spirit Spire. It’s full of Phantoms and poes.
Zelda gets her body stolen (expected)
Link gets the Master Sword stolen (NOT expected; snuck up on by Byrne a la Ganondorf vs Sonia). After all, a king revived deserves a fitting weapon.
At the bottom of the Spirit Spire, in the Depths, Link gets the Phantom Flute. Various functions of the tower are enabled by flute song.
Zelda’s spirit can be seen by the Sages, Impa, and Link—nobody else. But she accompanies you and comments on a LOT
Phantom Zel is scared of Keese (same way ST Phantom Zel is scared of rats, reference TotK first battle)
Phantom Zel can go anywhere in the Depths, but she loses her armor in the light.
Spirit form Zel can also take control of certain mechanisms, unlock things for you, phase through walls, etc.
Bringing Zelda to a bargainer statue has the statue reject her soul. It would disrupt the balance of the afterlife to take a soul while the body still breathes.
Tracks in the sky due to Spirit Spire
Remlit sanctuary > Rabbit sanctuary
References to other Zelda games like DLC outfits/items are accessed by playing those games’ songs. Stone walls have the song notes, you’re not taught them outright.
Opening scene is Link in his Tarrey Town house, getting woken up by Zelda who’s excited to see him drive.
Working title: Rails of the Realm

Going along with the Nikke train, because clearly ass. And because I like Exia.
Anyway, may I request Neon with an S/O who is just as trigger-happy as her? Two overly excitable people with weaponry makes me feel happy.
(Bonus points for S/O bringing a smol gun but it is almost the strongest thing in existence.)
(GoV: NIKKE) Neon's S/O being gun-crazed like her
Sounds like you need a Noisy Cricket. ...Does anyone even know what I'm referencing, or am I showing my age again?
Tumblr media
Finally, Neon had someone who saw the light of overwhelming firepower!
It's no wonder to Counters why Neon fell in love with S/O, the moment they brought their own small armory, she had heart eyes upon first sight.
Much of Neon and S/O's free time consisted of going to the Firing Range to test out what kind of weapons and ammo could create the most devastating boom!
(Neon) "HAHAHAAAAA! YES! LOOK AT THE BULLETS TEAR THROUGH THE TARGET!"
(S/O) "RECOIL INJURIES, WHAT RECOIL INJURIES?! HAHA-"
Everyone watched in mild amusement and horror at S/O's arm getting brutally beaten as they tested out Neon's gun since she wanted to share her love for stronger guns.
Forgetting that S/O was human, and couldn't tank the recoil like a Nikke could.
(Anis) "...Commander, why did you think we needed to add a second Neon to the team?"
(Commander) sigh "Don't ask me, ask HQ..."
But what had piqued Neon's interest above all was S/O's weapon of choice for operations.
When the squad went to the surface, all of Counters carried their rifles, and even the Commander had a pistol for desperate measures.
Meanwhile, S/O had something even smaller than a pistol. It looked like a child's toy.
The squad paused as Neon made a noise that caught their attention, the other three watching their conversation from a distance.
Neon eyed S/O's "gun", one eye peering closely at it, making her scoff.
(Neon) "What the heck is that thing!? It looks so puny!"
(Anis) "That's what she sai-"
(Commander) "Anis, please."
(S/O) "What? It's my weapon!"
(Neon) "Weapon?! That can't even be called a pistol, your finger barely fits in!"
(Anis) "PFFFT-"
(Rapi) "Anis."
(Neon) "Come on, you're a believer of firepower like I am! What's that gun going to do, make laser noises until our enemies die of embarrassment?!"
(S/O) "It's not the size that matters, Neon!-"
(Anis) "OW! OH COME ON, THEY'RE MAKING IT TOO EASY-!"
(Neon) "It absolutely does! What caliber does that gun even fit, nerf darts?!"
(S/O) "...What's a nerf dart?"
(Neon) "Not sure, think it's some kind of old earth toy, but my point still stands!"
(S/O) "When we fight something, you'll see how valuable it is!"
(Neon) "Fine, prove me wrong!"
When combat finally broke out, S/O was the first one to take a shot.
With a single pull of their trigger, they were sent flying back as the shot vaporized an entire enemy patrol in a massive explosion.
(Neon) "WHA...HOW?! YOU NEED TO LET ME USE THAT!"
S/O poked their head out of the rubble, seemingly unharmed.
(S/O) "No way, you were mocking it earlier!"
(Rapi) "Sir, that more than likely alerted everything to our presence. We need to move-"
(Neon) "With a gun like that, we can take care of everything out here! Master, please give me authorization to-'
(Commander) "No. And S/O, you don't pull your weapon out until things get hairy, understood?"
The couple looked extremely disappointed.
(S/O & Neon) "Aaaawwww!"
(Anis) "I mean, they kinda have a point, Commander. That gun might as well be the world's smallest artillery cannon."
(Commander) "...Just how do you reload that thing?"
(S/O) "Honestly? I never needed to. It doesn't really run out, and I've been using this thing for a while-"
(Neon) "WHAT?! OH NOW YOU HAVE TO LET ME USE IT!"

Ka-Ka-KaBOOM!
"Resigned" hunter Dr. Rockso puts on a light show..
His weapon is definitely inspired by old war box rocket launchers. It's a laser cannon/plasma gun. These big laser/plasma guns are what a good handful of hunters (most likely in the hands of wealthy or powerful families) have. Nathan has one of the newest, larger versions of this weapon.
The one Dr. Rockso's got is actually a prototype used by earlier hunters. They're very volatile and there have been accounts of the prototypes exploding on usage. They're extremely powerful but the weapon cant control or handle it.
so theyve been since decommissioned but Dr. Rockso still carries his around still muahaha
AU made in part with my friend, @sneakydevilship ; AU not related to the Monster Hunter Franchise!

Once Eddie returns, helps his friends save the world, he graduates and focuses on his dream, playing The Garden.
Corroded Coffin do indeed play MSG and then some, they become the biggest band on the planet, and they are raking it in.
They are making so much money the record company is throwing anything they want their way, anything they could dream of, and each member of the band takes advantage of that fact, making sure to avoid extreme excess, on the sage advice of other rockstars they meet on their way up, making sure to invest, and that their families are set for life.
But there are indulgences, fast cars, fancy hotels, big palatial homes, being surrounded by the most beautiful and talented, epic custom made gaming tables (because lets face it, they are still nerds) but Eddie shies away from a lot of that, he has this own indulgence. Theatrics.
The lights of the stage show had to be the latest technology, lasers, pyros so big and loud that had every concert comes with a warning on the posters, a mascot of this weird looking bat snake thing that Eddie had drawn up, and then the props.
Parts of the stage that "fell apart" making the crowds gasp in horror as a band member takes a hit, only to emerge completely unscathed. Harnesses so he could play flying through the air. A giant cannon to straddle and duck walk along over the crowd. Flame throwers that send a heat wave across the stadiums they play. His personal favourite was the deconstructable guitar.
Specially designed to be able to break apart and to be put back together for the next night, it was made for the heaviest song corroded Coffin had written to date. It was only ever used for that one song and with the magic of effects pedals and the nature of the song, it didn't have to sound particularly great.
At the culmination of this song an already shirtless Eddie would swing the guitar around, smash it on the floor behind him and then onto the floor in front of him, booting the now heavily dented body into the ground so he could rip the neck out of it, holding it aloft, strings snapping off, popping the blood capsules in his mouth, and letting them flow out of his mouth and down his chin and throat, with a huge grin on his face, before blowing a kiss into the crowd.
It seems like just another theatrical bit from Eddie Munson, a fan favourite to imitate or use as part of their Halloween costume. Eddie Munson wasn't the first rockstar to smash a guitar on stage and he wouldn't be the last, but what he was acting out was shrouded in mystery, as the song itself gave away nothing with its absence of lyrics.
When questioned in interviews Eddie said the same thing, "If I told you, I would have to kill you" then he would laugh heartily. An added clue if he was on TV, he'd wink directly at the camera and say, "Isn't that right, big boy?".
Thats all the fanbase has to go on, until a concert video is released. At the end of the tape past the credits, is a hidden extra.
Spliced together, the cameras are filming two views of this particular part of the show. One is stage focused from the crowd's view and the other is also pointing out at the stage but from the wings, out of sight. In which leans some bespectacled, unassuming, yuppie-looking, type of guy, complaining, with his arms folded watching the show.
He's frowning, shaking his head in an alarm, as one hand comes out to gesture at Eddie on stage "Ah no! That is not what happened..." Then turning to behind the camera, worry etched on his face and in his tone, "I didn't look that ridiculous? Did I?" Only to be met with the raucous laughter of two unseen women.
How the song in question was written
The last time Corroded Coffin ever play this song

Jaune picks.Ruby up proceeds to use her like a laser cannon. And using his semblance to increase the power
First fresh ask of the set! Ah, I love it...
---------------------------------------------------
"RUBY!" Jaune grabbed and lifted the small girl off her feet and held her stiff against his hip. "Are you ready?!"
"Jaune, are you sure this will work?!" Ruby asked, worry creeping into a panic.
"I HAVE NO IDEA!" Jaune roared as he gripped her tummy and gave it a squeeze. With a squeak, her eyes blasted forward in divibe, silver light that blinded those on the battlefield that were non-Grimm, and destroyed everything else.
Cinder screamed as she fell to the ground, once proudly soaring like a mighty dragon above the combatants below her. As she crawled from her self-made crater, she was blasted until not an atom of Grimm was left within her body. She layed near motionless on the ground.
A beam of magical energy blasted across the field, striking Jaune in the chest. However, his immense aura simply recovered what little damage was done to him as he focused Ruby's gaze on the Queen Mother of All Things Grimm. He laughed as she wailed and tried to escape.
"I AM BULLETPROOF!" Jaune roared as he cackled, stepping over what little remains were left of the bane of humanity.
Two days later, there was a celebration for the heroes of Remnant. Sadly, Ruby wasn't able to enjoy the sights, as she was still on recovery from the worst dry-eye she'd ever experienced.

Seatbelt Situation / hurt!Tech & comforting!Wrecker
Tumblr media
Relationship: Tech & Wrecker mostly (Omega, Echo, and Hunter are there to help, too)
Basis: Missing scene from TBB 2x2. While they're fleeing Serenno, Tech's injury gets the better of him. Wrecker shows his love.
Word count: 3,295
Warning: mildly graphic description of injury
This was originally written to show the reactions of the other brothers when they learn of Tech's broken leg. Then, Tech get the love and comfort he deserves that wasn’t shown in the episode. Also, I ended up lightheartedly grumbling about a small dialogue detail on Tech's behalf.
It's also posted on AO3. Feedback, corrections, and more ideas are welcome! Reblogs are appreciated :]
Tumblr media
The final, trailing TIE fighter goes up in flames when it gets a punch from Havoc Marauder's aft laser cannon. It sails like a comet in the night sky and careens into the cliffside, lighting up the ridge and treeline in a brief flash of vivid luminosity. Immediately after, Wrecker feels Hunter guide the Marauder downward to the wide, flat clearing to make their pickup. 
Debarking the gunner’s mount, Wrecker waives his habitual tidying of the bedroll and pillows on the deck to transform the small compartment back into Omega's bedroom. They may no longer have an Imperial tail, but there's likely more on the way, and they're not out of danger yet. 
He descends the ladder to the main deck with one sweeping, practiced backward lunge. He’s on his way to the cockpit to help Hunter anyway, so he stops by the open side port to hurry his wayward siblings inside. 
He hasn’t heard much from any of them since they agreed on the necessary radio silence, so it’s an immense relief to see Echo, Tech, and Omega all in one piece and all standing there, poised to board. There’s a fourth person too; an elderly gentleman who might be a Serennian local. He’s sure Tech will fill him in about every single detail, but they really need to get out of here. He motions them in with a smirk but nothing else, so as not to compromise his façade of silent, menacing, muscle-bound sentinel in front of the Serennian stranger. 
Echo is the first to climb the ramp, and as soon as he does, he scampers into the cockpit to join Hunter. Good, because he’s better at copiloting than Wrecker anyway, and Wrecker wants to be by the ramp in case of any unwanted trouble near the open hatch. He maintains his post directly across the hold from the open side port, watching, waiting. 
Ugh, what’s taking them?  
Omega is next to come up the ramp, aided by Tech to hop onto the first rung at the bottom. She's holding something small in her hands when she steps aboard, but only has eyes for Wrecker when she makes her way into the cabin. Now that Echo and Omega are home, a large chunk of Wrecker’s tension has eased, but it won’t do so any further until he sees Tech come jogging up. 
“What’s taking him?” Wrecker grouses verbally this time, his eyes not leaving the clearing below as Omega gives him a quick hug and takes a seat. 
“He’s coming!” Omega reports. “He’s just saying 'bye to Romar.” 
That was probably the last thing Wrecker anticipated Omega would say. Who the hell is this Romar? And Tech is… saying goodbye to him? As if this mission couldn’t have gone any more sideways than it already has. But these are concerns to be addressed once they’re all safely well away from Serenno, and not a moment sooner. Tech knows they’re in a hurry here, so why’s he wasting precious time? 
Wrecker’s about to voice as much when he finally sees his younger brother come bounding up the ramp. It’s about time, too. They’ve blown their cover so hard on this “covert” mission that more squadrons of TIE fighters are definitely in hot pursuit of them. Not wanting to waste another moment, Wrecker's hand hovers over the control for the ramp to close. 
But Tech, likely to make up for those seconds spent saying his goodbyes, engages the mechanism remotely and beats him to it. The side port's hydraulics hiss obediently as Tech ascends the ramp. Any moment now, Tech will come trotting into the hold and zoom past Wrecker in a hurry to get to the cockpit and help with piloting. At least that’s what Wrecker’s expecting. 
What he isn’t expecting is for Tech to come tumbling down the last stretch of the ramp as it nestles into the bulkhead.
But that’s exactly what does happen. In a graceless, stumbling mockery of the agile somersaults that he’s actually capable of, Tech comes sliding down the top of the upended gangway to land in a sprawled heap, on his ass, on the deck of the Marauder. 
Wrecker, having just put a hand on Omega’s safety harness, snaps his head over to witness Tech’s ridiculous entrance and can only stare, mouth agape, at his younger brother in silent bewilderment. 
“Tech? What the-!?” 
Tech, having landed in a seated position with his legs sprawled out in front of him doesn’t reply. He only looks up at Wrecker, blinks his giant, goggled eyes once, twice, and then starts to sway. 
“Tech!” Wrecker yells in alarm, wondering what the kriff happened in those split seconds between when Tech was standing there, conversing with a local, bounding up the ladder with haste, and then now. As much as he wants to rush to Tech’s aid, he finishes securing Omega’s safety harness first. Once it clicks into place and endures one or two of his aggressive, tentative tugs, he’s hurrying to Tech’s side and bellowing his younger brother’s name again. 
“Tech!”  
“It could be from his leg,” Omega says from her seat, her voice rife with fear and concern. “He said he broke his femur! The left one!” 
Whatever the reason, Tech now has collapsed fully on the deck, and Wrecker is careful to sidestep said leg as he makes his way over to him and gathers him in his arms. He removes Tech’s pack and slams it up against the only magnetic storage mechanism he can reach from this angle. His little brother is breathing steadily but out cold. 
“I gotcha, buddy,” says Wrecker nesting Tech’s smaller frame in front of his own, then scooting backward to get them both safely into a crash seat. “Sorry if this hurts, but we’re about to make the jump outta here.” 
Carefully but swiftly, Wrecker drags Tech up from the deck, wincing a little as he doesn’t have the time to make sure that no weight (however much diminished by his very capable maneuvering) is placed on Tech’s reportedly broken leg. But broken leg or not, it won’t be helpful for anyone if neither Wrecker nor Tech is strapped into a crash seat when they depart Serenno’s atmosphere. So Wrecker makes the executive decision to prioritize flight safety. 
Tech makes no objection to the abrupt maneuvers anyway and remains completely out of it. His helmeted head bumps inertly against Wrecker's cuirass as the larger clone pulls them both into the same seat and under the same crash harness. 
“You all strapped in back there?” calls Echo urgently from the cockpit. “We’ve got heat!” 
“We’re good!” Wrecker yells back, not pausing to tell them that no, they aren’t officially strapped in yet and that they might be testing the limits of said safety mechanism if Wrecker can actually get it locked around the both of them. “Go!” 
Wrecker can feel the Marauder humming with urgency as she's primed to flee them to safety, and he knows he only has mere seconds to make this seatbelt situation work. 
“Alright, buddy, suck it in!” he tells his unconscious brother as he reaches up with one hand to pull on the harness while keeping his other arm protectively coiled across Tech’s chest. 
Tech does not, in fact, suck it in, as he’s still mercifully unconscious, but Wrecker does as he hugs his little brother's frame as tightly to him as he can possibly get. Though he’s very lean and a good six inches shorter than Wrecker, Tech is still fully armored and laden with tools and gadgets. Combined with Wrecker’s own massive and armored frame, it's going to be a tight squeeze… 
The crash harness screeches in complaint as Wrecker jerks it into place in front of them and forces the locking mechanism to engage. And just in time too, because the Marauder makes a few evasive twists and turns before lurching onto a predetermined hyperlight trajectory. 
Despite the safety harness having been successfully muscled into doing double duty, Wrecker still holds onto Tech fiercely. He takes care to grapple his legs and arms around Tech’s own, pinning Tech’s limbs safely in place and (hopefully) preventing further aggravation of whatever injuries they’re working with here. Worried about what Tech’s wounds specifically entail, Wrecker hugs him all the tighter, resolved to keep this carbonite-like lock on him until they can safely unbuckle and assess what Tech got himself into this time. 
Finally, the automated alert chimes, informing Marauder’s crew that it’s safe to move about the shuttle. Omega undoes her harness at once, leaping down to her feet and hastening to Wrecker’s (and Tech’s) seat. She finds Tech’s pulse, lifts his helmet off, then crouches down in front of them, likely to try to make some sort of initial medical assessment. 
“Oi! A little help back here!” Wrecker bellows to the lads upfront, knowing that the urgency in his voice will have Echo and Hunter both rushing aft in an instant. 
And they don’t disappoint. Both brothers come hurrying out of the cockpit, eyes alight with concern that only swells when they land on Tech, slumped unconscious in Wrecker’s lap. 
“What happened?” Hunter demands, running to the crash seat and helping Wrecker unlatch and lift the safety harness into the up position. “Careful now. Let’s get him on a rack.” 
As they work to shift their youngest brother onto one of the racks, Echo produces one of their sturdy trauma kits and slides into his role as assistant medic. 
“He broke his left leg,” Echo says sadly, flicking a medical scanner to life and running it along Tech’s form. “And he’s been running around on it now for hours.” 
“He... broke his leg!?” Hunter repeats, devastated. “When?” 
“When we crashlanded that cargo container,” Omega supplies. “A heavy crate fell on top of him.” 
“How heavy?” Hunter asks, eyeing the medical scanner’s red flashes of warning over Echo’s shoulder, undoubtedly dreading the prospect of a dire report. 
“He said—Wrecker, get his tool belt off, will you?—” Echo says, recounting the events as he delegates the tasks that he’s less suited to and gathers supplies from the medical kit. “He said his ‘left femur’ was fractured by ‘150 kilograms of pressure.’ Something to that effect. And the med scanner agrees. It’s closed, but he’s got a pretty nasty oblique fracture. Diaphyseal. And fighting on it didn’t do him any favors.” 
“It’s that bad?” Hunter asks sadly. “You think he needs a specialist?” 
“It is,” Echo says morosely. “And I do. His leg's already swollen to twice its normal size, and the fracture's been harmfully manipulated.” 
“Oh yeah, he does,” Wrecker agrees, empathizing greatly with the misery that accompanies a broken long bone. “Better go find an med center and plug it in now, Sarge. Sheesh, he musta been in a lot of pain.” 
“Adrenaline masked most of it, I reckon,” Echo says, planting a small torch between his own lips, then gently sliding Tech’s goggles up to check his pupillary light reflex. 
As Wrecker watches Echo conduct the test, something dawns on him. 
“No,” Wrecker decides. “No-no, he was really hurting.”
“That’s not what it looked like to us,” Echo says, stowing the light, consulting Tech’s stats further, and searching through their supplies for something they can use as a splint. “He was handling it.” 
“It’s just… 150 kilograms… of pressure? He said that?” Wrecker asks, lending a hand in the rummaging. “Tech said that… just like that?” 
“Yeah, I think so,” says Echo glancing at Omega and receiving a confirmatory nod from their sister. 
“That’s what bugs me,” Wrecker tells them apprehensively. 
“Why?” Hunter asks, still looking stricken at the discovery of his brother’s injury. “That’s a typical Tech report. Even if it’s to do with his own kriffing bones.” 
“But that’s not quite right, is it?” Wrecker tells them, as the sheer amount of pain that Tech must have really been in from the injury finally dawns on him. He reaches over and gently cups the side of Tech’s face, wishing there was any possible way that he could take away some of the pain Tech had endured and was still going to have to endure for a while longer because of this. “Well, kilograms ain’t… a unit of pressure, is it?” 
“What?” Echo asks, his tone supplementing Hunter and Omega’s visible confusion. 
“Kilograms ain’t… well, you know… used as a unit of pressure. It’s a… unit of mass,” Wrecker says carefully, his tongue feeling cumbersome in his mouth as he repeats the information that Tech, himself, had helped him learn. “I’m just saying, he musta been really kriffed if he said that is all, and I hope we got something strong in that kit to give him when he comes ‘round.” 
Hunter and Echo blink in surprise at him for a moment before a shared look passes between them, and they grasp the gravity of Wrecker’s remark. 
“I’ll get in touch with some friendlies,” Hunter says, somehow sounding even more resolved than he’d been moments ago and making for the cockpit, “I’ll find us an orthopedic specialist we can trust. Let me know when he wakes.” 
“You got it,” Echo says, now searching for a stronger hypo to administer to Tech. 
It’s only a few moments later, as Wrecker is easing off the last of his younger brother’s armor and gear that Tech begins to stir. 
“Tech? Tech, hey,” Echo says encouragingly, “you with us?”
Tumblr media
Intermittently, Tech becomes aware of voices and all the ambient noises of his beloved ship in flight. Though… the sounds are all muddled and greet him as though they’ve been hurtling through time and space to chase and catch up to him. The voices are talking quietly over him. Which is fairly unusual. 
Ah. Serenno. He must have succumbed to his injuries on Serenno and lost consciousness. Again. 
The previous time it happened, it had been Romar who roused him from his ill-timed syncopation. This time, however… he isn’t quite sure. He summons all of his strength and forces himself to wake up. 
Just as he’s blinking his heavy eyelids open, pain lances through his left leg like a bolt of lightning, and he sucks in a breath through his clenched teeth. Instinctively he tries to curl forward and reach for the limb, which is now ablaze with a pain that he’s seldom (if ever) experienced quite like this before now. 
Gentle hands grasp him firmly, forcing him to lay back down with his arms securely, benignly at his sides. Yes, his left femur, he recalls. Fractured substantially and now with an accompaniment of soft tissue damage and further injury from rigorous use of the limb immediately after the precipitating event. He starts to hyperventilate at the memory of it and the implication of how said injury will impact his effectiveness to his team... to his family... 
“Easy, Tech,” says a gentle, deep baritone voice directly above him. Echo. “We gotcha. You’re okay.” 
Tech cracks his eyes open but is only met with a blur of indistinct colors and shapes. He can’t help but gasp in alarm. His goggles hadn’t been compromised, had they? He really didn’t suspect they had and would be distressed beyond measure if that were the case. 
“They're right here,” says Omega’s voice, a small shape bobbing around the periphery of his bleary view. Small hands gently lift and slide his goggles from his forehead down onto his face so that his corrective lenses are seated properly in front of each eye. He sighs in immense relief when his surroundings come into sharp focus to reveal that he’s supine in the main hold of the Havoc Marauder with Echo, Omega, and Wrecker, all either directly next to him or nearby. 
“Hunter?” is Tech’s first thought, and the question is on his tongue before he can even think through and catalog the probable answers. They all need to be together. It’s a priority. 
“In the cockpit,” Echo assures him. “Finding us a safe place to get you looked after.” 
“Oh,” Tech says. “Am I the only one injured?” 
“You are,” Echo confirms. “But enough so for the lot of us, Tech. I’m just glad you waited until you got to Marauder before passing out.” 
“I did so in the forest as well,” Tech reports pragmatically. “Romar located and assisted me.” 
“Oh, so when you ate it on the ramp coming back, that was round two?” Wrecker chimes in, sounding indecently impressed. 
“I did not ‘eat it’ coming back aboard Marauder,” Tech huffs, though he reasonably can’t recall what exactly happened that lead him to the predicament he’s in currently. 
“Did too,” Wrecker insists, radiating his perplexing approval for when any one of them pushes through an injury severe enough to ultimately render them unconscious. “Omega and I both saw it.” 
“Yeah, sorry, Tech, you kinda did,” Omega admits. “Wrecker and I were scared.” 
“Apologies for that… entrance,” Tech says with a sigh. “That sounds somewhat more dramatic than what I had intended.” 
“S’alright!” Wrecker says, as Omega makes for the cockpit, likely to update Hunter. “You made it, and that’s all that matters!”
“How’s your pain?” Echo asks soberly. “I can cut it. Keep you comfortable for the ride, at least.” 
“It is tolerable,” Tech reports, cringing at the idea of their ever-dwindling medical supplies being expended on him. 
“Nah, I’ll cut it,” Echo decides for him instead. 
“I suspect I do not have any say in the matter?” Tech hedges. 
“You don’t,” Echo confirms in a tone that is patronizing and infuriating and, indeed, meant to be both. Adding to the infuriating aspect. “The med scanner doesn’t lie.” 
“That is because it has been properly calibrated. Are we—agh!” Tech’s next question is interrupted by a sharp stab to his jugular vein, chased by a burning, cold sensation. He flinches involuntarily at the abrupt contact but doesn’t begrudge the relief that follows. The intense pain in his leg ebbs and morphs into innocent numbness very rapidly, and he'll now be able to focus more adequately on all pertinent tasks. But still, “that gesture warrants warning to the patient,” he grumbles at Echo.
“He never does that,” Wrecker gripes, commiserating with Tech likely because of the injury sustained when they first fled Kamino, pursued by... 
Crosshair. Tech's heart aches with a pain that doesn't even touch the pain that was caused by his broken femur. No, it's too much to think about right now. He has to focus on their next move. What they need to make ends meet and keep them safe. 
“I know what the module says to do,” Echo tells them regarding his proclivity to employ surprise hypo attacks, “and I know what Kix says to do.” 
“Oh, so they are mutually exclusive concepts,” Tech complains, “and you practice the latter.” 
“Ehh, the lessons intersect here and there,” Echo says with a smirk, gathering what he’ll need to perform the application of traction, depending on how long their voyage to get medical help will be. 
“Well, that is very comforting to know,” Tech says drily. “And do Kix’s teachings dictate that I be allowed my datapad to distract me during any impending procedures?” 
“They do,” says Echo lightly, grabbing Tech’s coveted datapad from where his gear has been piled and placing it in Tech’s lap. Wrecker grabs something soft and carefully helps Tech prop his head up enough to read.
Tech gladly accepts the help and the offered datapad. He toggles it to life and settles in. He has a lot of work to do, and he can’t let something like an inconvenient femur fracture deter him from providing for his family.
And... just maybe… eventually recovering their lost brother too.
Thank you so much for reading! I really hope you enjoyed this little fic. The kg of pressure idea isn’t meant to be wELL aCtuALlY, but I’ve never seen pressure expressed in kg and it doesn’t make sense to me 😅. I think Tech really was jacked up by that wretched crate, and that’s why he said that. They showcased his resilience (among other qualities!) in this episode and it was fantastic
I plan to post my fics to Tumblr, make recs, and share the fics of others from AO3. I'm also experimenting with making some dividers/banners (thank you so much, @freesia-writes)! I got some serious undergrad EE course vibes when recreating Tech's technical doodles lol.

Humans are naturally more delicate and squishier than nindroids, and i think Zane and Pixal would have vastly different attitudes about it.
Zane is very much the health-and-wellness type, who is very conscienscious about cultivating an optimal environment for his human friends. Drafts out full meal plans, changes all the lightbulbs in the house bc he read online that certain lighting arrangements can elicit certain moods in humans, and he's studied human medicine intensely enough that he could probably get a medical license if he wanted. Kai gets a sore throat, Zane immediately begins researching homemade cough syrup recipes. Cole's got knee pain, instant ice pack and bedrest. Jay is lactose-intolerant and Zane has a conniption if he so much as looks at dairy.
Pixal's reaction, meanwhile, is on the complete opposite end of the spectrum. Constantly overestimates what humans can survive. "I could punch Nya through five inches of steel right? She can take it, shes tough." And "Jay, let's test out my new laser cannon by seeing how far across itll blast you across the secret base." And " im sure no one will take issue if i get rid of all our oven mitts, surely humans arent so weak they cant handle a hot sheet of metal." It doesnt help that she usually poses most of her questions about human fragility to Lloyd of all people, who is a half-dragoni demigod chosen one of prophecy, so he doesnt know either. "Lloyd, it is my turn to cook and i was wondering if four whole ghost peppers is spicy enough for humans." "Hm....maybe add a fifth pepper." "My thoughts exactly."
The catch is, since theyre all essentially superhuman, theyre also more durable than the average human so all of Pixal's dangerous overestimations usually turn out just fine.
Except that incident with the peppers. She is still banned from the kitchen after that.
