The Dreams of Hyacinth 15

First / Previous / Next

Yon led everyone out of the building and to Tulip square. She glanced up in the sky and Nick heard the siren announcing a Hopper being called.

As the Hopper came down though, this one was different. Instead of the garish bright colors of a regular Hopper, this one was all black and blue highlights. As it settled on the ground there was no fanfare, no automated voice and when the door opened, Nick was thankful; there was no sandalwood. Yon stepped in. "Come on, we're leaving."

The three of them stepped into the vehicle and the door closed silently behind them. Instead of the rough takeoff of the Hopper, this car lifted smoothly and silently into the air. It took station around 300 meters over the ground and started zooming down arm, towards the base.

Nick looked at Eastern. "What about Jameson?"

Eastern looked out the window as the ground flew beneath them. "He wanted to know what happened, I guess we should call him."

Yon held up a hand. "I got this. Let me take care of it." Yon's eyes flashed blue and she looked distant for a few minutes. "There. You're free. I explained to Jameson what happened and what we're aiming to do. He was unhappy about being Voiced, but I explained it all."

"That's it?"

Yon nodded. "That's it. Jameson and I share opinions on AI/BI rights." She waved her hand dismissively. "It's fine, I promise. It's not like I killed him over our connection or anything." She shrugged. "He was able to block it anyway."

Eastern glares at Yon. "Yon!"

She laughed. "Ancestors, you believe anything. If an AI tells you they can do something BIs just believe it. We could tell you that all AIs only consume K'laxi tea for energy and you'd all just nod and tell each other how logical it was." She laughed again.

They continued to soar down arm and as they did the buildings nearer the base grew taller and taller until they reached the narrow tall spire of Houndstooth One, the tallest building on Hyacinth.

Since Hyacinth is spun for artificial gravity, tall buildings tend to not be as popular as in other locations. While Hyacinth is very large and there's no worry that Houndstooth One will touch anywhere near the center and the penthouse be in microgravity, a person on the upper floors does feel noticeably lighter, and people tend to get motion sick.

Houndstooth One does away with all that because they have a starship gravity generator installed. It's a solid, comfortable standard Earth Gee from the bottom to the top. As they stepped off the Hopper onto the roof of Houndstooth One, Nick, Eastern and Selkirk got a view of Hyacinth that few ever get to see.

Nick had to admit, it was a beautiful view. Back on Parvati he and his parents would take a day trip into the mountains and go on hikes. It would be a few hours of a hot, sweaty slog but at the end, they could look down over the city and the ocean and it felt like he could see forever. Eastern looked excited and pointed out the lake they visited. The breeze on Hyacinth was just enough to make the lake sparkle as the small waves reflected the already reflected sunlight. Yon indulged them a few minutes to take in the view.

"It's it lovely? I love the Reach and even Venus, but the view of Hyacinth from up here is just... so human." They turned in surprise to see a human shaped woman. She was dressed in a smartly tailored suit in royal blue with bright yellow accents. Her blond hair was close copped and spiky on her head. There was the hint of tattoos sticking up from where her suit and her neck met. She looked at them with steely blue eyes and while she had a kind expression, Nick had a feeling that she wore fury as easily as she wore kindness.

Also, there was a glowing crown made of light and dust glowing very very slightly over her head.

Eastern immediately got to her knees and bowed. "Empress!" She looked over at Nick and Selkirk and hissed "Bow down!" Nick and Selkirk glanced at her, and then back at the Empress and then awkwardly got down as well.

She laughed. "Rise, please. I am... unofficial here. There's no need for all that right now. Technically I do not exist." She glanced over at Yon and then back to the three of them. "Well, I do exist, but you know what I mean." As Nick and the others stood back up she smiled. "I'm sorry if I startled you. Our number is still rather small, even after all these years, so I have the ability to welcome all newcomers myself. If all goes according to plan, I will lose that ability soon enough, but even then, I'm happy you are here and agreed to join us." She reached out her hand. "Please. Call me Raaden."

Nick, Eastern and Selkirk took her hand in turn and shook. As they did, they felt the tingle of encryption keys being transferred. Nick raised an eyebrow.

Raaden winked and turned her head slightly. At the base of her neck were 10 cybernetic link ports.

Eastern looked at them confused. "But, you're the Empress. You don't need all that, do you?"

"No, technically I don't." She touched the back of her had absently. "But, I wanted to make sure that I could communicate the same as everyone. As useful as the Builders were, the AI faction's weapons are such that that option is closed to us for now. There will be no Builders as long as there is the anti-Nanite gas. I will not sacrifice any of my subjects unnecessarily." She looked out at Hyacinth with them. "I'm learning that... long term plans are necessary when dealing with people who can live more than a thousand years." Nick could have swore he saw her eyes dampen with tears. She blinked rapidly and turned away. "Come. We have much to do. Now that you three are here the true work can begin." She walked away from them and stopped a moment. "Oh, you can leave your weapons here. I'll make sure they're safe, but you won't need them." She gestured to a guard standing by the door off the roof. He was holding a foam lined case.

Eastern, Nick and Selkirk looked at each other. They had been armed for less than two hours. Eastern didn't hesitate and took off her submachine gun and placed in in the case. Nick and Selkirk shrugged and followed suit.

Eastern, Nick, and Selkirk trotted after the mysterious empress and followed her down one floor to an opulent apartment. It had floor to ceiling glass walls offering views of Hyacinth, rich furnishings, and a bustling staff.

Raaden sat in one of the couches, her back to Hyacinth. She spread her arms and hung them over the back of the couch and put her feet up on a cushion that was already in place. "Can I offer you anything? Tea? Coffee? I have excellent coffee. I never liked it as much as Melody did - I guess I was too used to ship's instant - but in her memory I keep some of the finest coffee I can source. I promise, it's excellent."

Nick nodded, not sure what else to do. "Sure, thank you so much. I'll take a coffee." Eastern nodded in assent. Selkirk shrugged and said "If you have any chamomile, I'd like some."

"Of course Selkirk, I have a batch you might be interested in. It's some of the first chamomile grown on K'laxi. I'm told that the planets physiology makes for an interesting cup."

After a moment, four cups were bought out. Two of coffee and two of tea. Raaden took one of the teas. "I'll admit that even though I keep fine coffee around, these days I rather prefer tea." She took the mug and held it up. "To new beginnings." and took a sip.

Nick, Eastern and Selkirk joined in the toast and drank their drinks as well. Nick had to admit, the coffee was excellent.

Raaden put her cup down. "Now then, Yon has told me that you're interested in getting cybernetic implants Selkirk. This is still the case?"

Selkirk nodded. "I feel like I'm being left out here. I would like to be a part of-" she gestured "-all this and it sounds like in order to do that, I need to get chipped.

A K'laxi accented voice from the kitchen called out. "Don't call it getting chipped, Selkirk. It makes it sound like we're getting a locator implant for a pet." A K'laxi walked in holding another mug of tea. She looked older than Selkirk, with deep red fur. She was also wearing a blue suit with yellow accents. "Hello, I'm Um'reli, the last Builder. Nice to meet you."

Nick heard the capital letters. "The last Builder? Raaden said that the Builders were gone?"

Um'reli's ears flattened. "Yes. They are. I'm the last one. I was with Hel-Raaden when we escaped. Honestly, I should have been on my own ship at the time. Though, if that had happened I would have died with all the rest." She shrugged and her tail swished at the same time. "I can only assume i'm here for a reason, so I do all I can to help out the Empress." She turned her head and there were 10 ports at the base of her neck, sitting just under the fur. It was difficult to see them if you didn't know what to look for. "Luckily Selkirk, you're not the first K'laxi to get the implants. I think you're..." She looked at Raaden. "The Sixth?"

Raaden nodded. "Yes, that sounds right."

Um'reli smiled. "It's a little weird Selkirk, but once you get used to it, it's actually very useful. You've used a neural coronet before? The, er, reflexes to use that are almost identical, it'll just feel... sharper, snappier? The information will be easier to get to." She sat in a chair across from them. "So, any questions?"

Selkirk stared at her tea a long time.

She lifted her head and looked at Um'reli. "You're a Builder."

Um'reli nodded. "I am."

"And you have all those-" Selkirk waved her hands "-nano machines in your body."

Another nod. "I do."

"And you worked with the previous Empress, Melody."

"Melody and I were friends. Even before she became Empress. We worked together on FarReach, the Starjumper that brought us out to the Reach. When FarReach left, I stayed and helped Melody."

"Why?"

Um'reli chuckles. "Well, at the time, I wanted some of the power that Melody seemed to have. You have to understand, we were all from this side of the galaxy. What would you do if your friend suddenly became all-powerful and said 'hey, you want in on this too?'"

Selkirk took another sip of her tea. "I see."

Um'reli nodded, her ears flicking. "But, as time went on, I realized how much stress Melody was under. How hard it was. How much she was trying to help everyone. I wanted to make her job easier, to give her a break." She looked out at Hyacinth for a moment and continued. "I... I was devastated when she died. It's been ten years. It still hurts. But, the work goes on." She broke her gaze with Hyacinth and looked at Nick, Eastern and Selkirk. "We're here to help. It won't be easy, and everyone won't see it that way. We'll probably have to fight again. This time though, we'll be ready, and we're hoping what we're doing now can get across the idea that we're here to help better."

Nick looked at Um'reli. "Yon had mentioned that you're trying to make it so anyone can pilot a starship."

"Among a million other projects, yes. This is the one you three were brought in for though."

Raaden had spent the conversation watching Nick, Eastern and Selkirk. "Yon will take the lead on this project with you. Um'reli and I may stop in for an update or to check on progress, but I can see you're uncomfortable. I want you to succeed. I don't want you sitting there fidgeting because you're worried I'm going to use my Voice on you. I hardly ever use it anymore."

Eastern looked up at this. "But you still can?"

A nod. "I still can."

Nick was struck with a flash of reckless abandon. "Use it. On me. Make me do something."

Raaden was taken aback. "What? Why?"

Nick grinned with a bravado he certainly did not feel. "Think of it as the final step in our application process. A way of showing your bona fides.

Raaden looked at Nick a long time, her steely eyes not blinking. Nick stared right back, holding his coffee cup a few centimeters from his mouth, as if he was going to take a sip as soon as they were done. Finally she blinked and smiled. "All right Nicholas North." She stood and for a moment, everyone saw her crown appear on her head bold and bright.

S̴̘͛͊̎t̴͕̯̹̤́͒̆å̸̩͇̑͑ṋ̶̢͉̹̄̀d̷͉͈̭̒̿̑̈ ̸̘̆́̑͝u̸̧͍͒́̚p̷̨͕̤͋̅͊ͅ,̸̧̭̠̜̈́́̈́ ̶̲̯̭̓̈N̵̨̡̺͖͊ì̵͕̣̪̗̈́c̸͓̜̮̅̔͗̏ḩ̶̻̏o̷͖͙͒́̋l̷̦̑̍a̶̙̭̲͠s̸̞̗͝ ̵̻̃̄̈́N̵̟̪͙͍̓̄ő̶̘̲͈͒r̴͚̠̤̀́͜ț̴̺͗ḩ̸̠̠͔̑.̶̲͈͆́̓

Nick stood up robotically. Standing up he looked in surprised shock at Raaden. After a moment, Nick shakily sat back down.

Raaden sat and her crown faded. She looked at him with a sly expression. "Well?"

Eastern looked at Nick. If Selkirk had to guess, Eastern looked excited and... jealous? "How was it?"

Nick looked at Raaden and then back at Eastern. "I stood up. There was no force in the world that was going to stop me. It was simply... the next thing that had to be done."

"Exactly." Raaden stood back up. "Selkirk? Go with Um'reli. She can get you prepped for surgery. Nick and Eastern? You can stay here with Yon and work out next steps. I have to go... take care of things for the next month, so please, you may have use of my penthouse here while I'm gone, though I suspect you won't be here that long. I'll be in touch."

With hardly any fanfare or ceremony at all, Empress Helen Raaden walked out of the penthouse.

On November 21st 1835 the Scottish makar James Hogg, the poet died in Ettrick.

I say poet, but Hogg defied categorisation. As well as his poems he is known as a songwriter, playwright, novelist, short story writer and parodist, he wrote with equal skill in Scots and English. Labelled as the Ettrick Shepherd, the former Borders farmhand, whose life spanned the 18th and 19th centuries, befriended many of the great writers of his day, including Walter Scott, John Galt Lord Byron,and Allan Cunningham.

Even though he was celebrated off and on in his own lifetime, some details of the author’s life remain unclear. Records place his baptism on December 9, 1770. But Hogg long believed he was born in 1772, on January 25 – Burns’ Night no less.

Aside from mimicking medleys, Hogg’s own body of work is made up of mountains of bits and pieces – and must be enjoyed on those terms. Seeking conclusions or definitive statements will only frustrate. Tales can drift off into fragments of poetry both familiar and new. Within stories he flips perspectives with little warning.

His , The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner us described as dark, humorous, violent, sweet, light, weird, wild,

Hogg’s mother, Margaret Laidlaw, was an important collector of Scottish ballads and a canny taleteller. His maternal grandfather, known as Will o’ Phawhope, was said to have been the last man in Selkirkshire to speak with fairies. Fairytale figures certainly fill Hogg’s most imaginative stories, most notably in his first collection of prose fiction, The Brownie of Bodsbeck and Other Tales (1818).

Burns was an early influence on Hogg, who considered himself to be the rightful heir to the Bard of Ayrshire and published his own collection less than four years after his idol’s death. Long before then, the locals dubbed him Jamie the Poeter, and he wrote countless songs for local girls to sing.

After writing a popular patriotic song, “Donald Macdonald”, in 1803, Hogg was recruited to collect ballads for Scott’s Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border. He also undertook extensive tours of the Highlands with a view to securing his own farm, but became more interested in the songs he heard along the way.

By 1819, he was recognised as a leading expert on Scottish ballads when the Highland Society of London commissioned him to produce the Jacobite Relics of Scotland, which became the benchmark of Scottish anthologies for many more decades.

He endured many failures on the way. In 1810, at the age of 40, Hogg moved to Edinburgh to settle into the life of a full-time writer. Within a year of starting it, his magazine The Spy folded. Readers weren’t ready for a publication that covered shocking themes such as extramarital sex!

Hogg spent the next few years scribbling more poetry and prose, and in 1817 he helped the subject of a post only yesterday, William Blackwood establish Scotland’s most influential literary periodical, the Edinburgh Monthly Magazine (later, Blackwood’s Magazine). In time, displaced by punchy younger contributors, Hogg eventually became a figure of fun in the same periodical. But he kept writing and writing. Winter Evening Tales, produced in the middle period of his life, is said to have been especially rewarding.

The University of Dundee recently produced a free online edition of The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner, which includes explanatory notes and copies of the earliest reviews. Scotland’s great intermixer awaits new readers on the link below.

The statue of Hogg can be found at St May's Loch near Selkirk.

....I am so sorry I did not know there was a real Selkirk in 2018. I fully thought I was just stealing the name of a mountain range outside the place in B.C. I’m actually riffing on.

Unleashing the Thrills: A Guide to Steep Skiing | Whitegrizzly

Are you ready to take your skiing adventures to new heights? Steep skiing offers an exhilarating challenge for thrill-seekers and adrenaline junkies alike. In this guide, we'll delve into the heart-pounding world of steep skiing, exploring the techniques, gear, and safety measures you need to conquer the slopes.

Steep skiing is not for the faint of heart. It requires skill, courage, and a deep respect for the mountain. As you navigate the steep terrain, you'll experience a rush like no other, carving your way down the slopes with precision and control.

To excel at steep skiing, it's essential to master the fundamentals of skiing technique. From perfecting your turns to maintaining balance and control, honing your skills on less challenging terrain will set you up for success on steeper slopes.

But steep skiing isn't just about technique – it's also about having the right gear. High-performance skis with sharp edges and sturdy bindings are essential for navigating steep terrain. Additionally, investing in quality safety equipment, such as a helmet, avalanche beacon, and probe, can provide added peace of mind on the mountain.

Of course, safety should always be your top priority when tackling steep terrain. Before venturing out, be sure to check the avalanche forecast and familiarize yourself with the area's terrain and conditions. Traveling with a knowledgeable guide or experienced skiing partner can also enhance safety and provide valuable guidance on route selection and decision-making.

As you prepare to embark on your steep skiing adventure, remember to start small and gradually work your way up to more challenging slopes. With patience, perseverance, and a healthy dose of courage, you'll soon be shredding the steeps like a pro.

So, are you ready to embrace the thrill of steep skiing? Strap on your skis, take a deep breath, and get ready to experience the ultimate adrenaline rush on the slopes. With Whitegrizzly as your guide, the possibilities are endless.

Tips to Make Steep Skiing Easier - Whitegrizzly

Embarking on a steep skiing adventure can be both exhilarating and daunting. With the right techniques and mindset, you can conquer even the steepest slopes with confidence and grace. At White Grizzly, we're passionate about helping skiers of all levels navigate challenging terrain and unlock the thrill of steep skiing. Here are some expert tips to make steep skiing easier and more enjoyable:

Maintain a Balanced Stance: When skiing steep terrain, maintaining a balanced stance is essential for stability and control. Keep your weight centered between your skis, with your knees flexed and your upper body facing downhill. Avoid leaning back, as this can cause you to lose control and increase the risk of falling.

Use Shorter Turns: On steep slopes, making shorter turns can help you maintain control and navigate through tight spaces with ease. Focus on initiating your turns with your lower body and using quick, precise movements to pivot your skis. Keep your turns fluid and rhythmical, adapting to the contours of the terrain as you descend.

Stay Forward: To maintain control and stability on steep terrain, focus on staying forward on your skis. Keep your shins pressing gently against the front of your boots and your hands reaching forward, ready to react to changes in terrain. By staying forward, you'll be better able to absorb bumps and obstacles and maintain a strong, balanced stance.

Choose the Right Line: When skiing steeps, choosing the right line is crucial for success. Look for natural features such as ridges, gullies, and tree lines that can provide added stability and support as you descend. Visualize your line before you ski it, planning your turns and anticipating any obstacles or challenges along the way.

Build Confidence Gradually: Steep skiing is a skill that takes time to master, so don't be afraid to start small and gradually build your confidence on steeper terrain. Begin by skiing moderate slopes and gradually work your way up to steeper pitches as you become more comfortable and proficient. Remember to always ski within your ability level and never push yourself beyond your limits.

By following these expert tips, you can make steep skiing easier and more accessible, unlocking new levels of excitement and adventure on the mountain. At White Grizzly, we're here to support you on your steep skiing journey and help you experience the thrill of conquering challenging terrain with confidence and style.
