So I did a few lines in Labyrinth for the first time in months.
Armor, by necessity, was custom-issued to each soldier and there was none to be had aboard this shuttle. There was, however, a munitions locker. Shepard checked out the assault rifle she’d selected with immense satisfaction.
Jack had slung her shotgun across her chest by its nylon strap. “You look fucking ridiculous.”
“I like it.” Torn jeans, sneakers, and a t-shirt reading Famous in a Past Life which, in Garrus’ delicate phrasing, identified Shepard as a total douchebag, maybe wasn’t precisely the picture of a seasoned marine, but she rather liked the effect. The ragged edge matched her mood. “It’s gonna add insult to injury.”
“Nobody is going to survive this long enough to deal with a bruised ego.” But Jack made no further comment, rolling her shoulders and flexing her fingers wide in preparation for some biotic fireworks.
Shepard did not reach for the detonators she’d tucked into the back of her pants, under her shirt. Not even to check that they were secured. Jack had brought explosives for her own reasons, and would not appreciate Shepard blowing them prematurely. But Shepard would do what it took to beat these parasites back.
Instead, she adjusted her grip on the rifle and screwed her soles into the floor, feeling the magnets grip the deck, getting her balance. Waiting for their shuttle hatch to open.
Jack summoned a barrier, and looked at her sidelong. Judging. “Give it up. I know you can do it, I’ve felt you practicing. No idea what your problem is but it’s not worth finding out what spectre brains look like.”
She snorted, put out, but grudgingly brought up a barrier of her own, limning her silhouette in a faint blue shimmer. “Gee, Jack, I never knew you cared.”
Scraping sounds, a squeal of metal coming through the hull as they forced the manual crank. “Go to hell.”
Then a sliver of night appeared along the left side, and they both opened fire.
Chapter Summary: Zaiya encounters a ‘defective’ clone. Notes: at the end!
Radical - Part 1
It had been so quiet without the antics of Alpha Company to keep her entertained. It seemed after the successful defence of Kamino, the Jedi and Kaminoans wholly agreed to Zaiya’s programs and the Alpha clones being deployed as specialist units to lead other teams in the GAR.
Moreover, after her little chat with Rex and Cody, word had quickly spread that she was the big sister of the entire army. She was sure that was just an exaggeration on Jax’s part but she could not say she hated the name.
The aftermath of the battle had left Kamino scarred and scorched. Some of the damage was still being repaired. There had been a big debrief and she’d been reprimanded for killing the general, however it was a slap on the wrist considering the warning she’d given on the attack itself.
listen if i could draw i would animate sophie walking by howls door and theres flashing colorful lights coming out of the door crack and she opens the door and its just howl lying facedown motionless on his bed blasting caramelldansen and all his spiders are having a little spider rave
Three points of… fire, yes, that what they were. Those blurred clusters of flame gently rocked back and forth like a pendulum as the pokémon swayed in its spot, hazy and purple. As it swayed, it turned, and something new came into view: two bright yellow points of light blasted through the frost like high beams and seared directly into Ingo’s soul.
He crossed the plaza without thinking. Something in his brain screamed at him to touch it, to feel it, even if it burned–
It’s hard to see here but if you zoom in on Ace’s lapel, the pins are two musical notes and a trumpet which match the design on her shirt from Remembrance of the Daleks.
thank you! I was trying to figure out what patches they were referencing and forgot the shirt
Monster Rancher 1 & 2 DX confirmed for English Switch release in the west
The just-announced Monster Rancher 1 & 2 DX will launch for Switch in both North America and Europe with full English support, Koei Tecmo has announced. Both games will be available on December 9.
Here’s a bit of information from Koei Tecmo:
In celebration of the magical series’ 25th anniversary, Monster Rancher 1 & 2 DX brings the wildly popular simulation games to modern hardware where players raise their own monsters and train them to compete against other eccentric creatures in combat and tournaments. With hundreds of different monster types, each with their own skills and abilities, every Rancher will be able to raise and train monsters that are a perfect fit for their personality and play style.
As fans of the originals may remember, the games used physical CDs to generate monsters in the game. Monster Rancher 1 & 2 DX now lets players search a database to find their desired CD and generate a monster from its data.
Monster Rancher 1 & 2 DX features content that was never originally featured in the original western release, including additional save slots, Freeze slots, and Monster Hall of Fame slots. There are also brand new features entirely this time around like a memo feature to use while raising monsters, rankings for random battles, and a high-speed mode to play through the game faster.
We have a special announcement video from Monster Rancher executive producer Fujita-san below
