Part 15 II

Ghost stared at the yellow sign reading in black NO UNAUTHORISED PERSONNEL ALLOWED BEYOND THIS POINT on the white double doors that led to the operating room where Soap had been wheeled in by both doctors, surrounded by other medical staff.

As he walked behind them when they rushed ahead he heard them shouting all sorts of medical jargon. You were so calmly ordering for mLs of drugs with too many Zs. He looked down at his skeletal gloves, the fake bones once white now stained red with Johnny's blood.

Looking up again at the sign he thought of you. How your hands would also be bloodied, pouring deep into Soap's body, mending him.

You gotta save him he pleaded in his head. He couldn't lose Soap, not now. Not after what they had been through together in Mexico, Chicago... now this.

'C'mon Lt!' Soap's words rang through his skull. Guilt flooded his chest as he remembered moments of how blunt he had been to Soap...

Squeezing his fist tight, Ghost sighed and then walked down the corridor until he found himself a chair in an empty room and plopped the chair right outside those double doors. Sitting down, Ghost winced with pain, the cut sobbed as he sat down and moved his torso.

"Fuuuck" He growled quietly.

Leaning back, he shut his eyes letting the darkness wash over him.

...

Soap was lifted onto the surgical bed. As you and Peyton scrubbed in, the nurses dressed him. Through the window of the scrub room you watched as he was intubated, his bloodied clothes discarded in the yellow hazard bin.

Once scrubbed and prepped, you assume the lead role in the surgery. Neuro was your speciality, this was a spinal injury. This is your arena. Closing your eyes, you breathe in.

"It's a beautiful night to save lives" You say, opening your eyes. Peyton eyes crinkle, a sign she was smiling under her medical mask.

"10 blade" You say and the nurse gives your instrument. You place the edge of the blade two inches above the bullet wound, applying pressure with your index finger you slide the blade across the skin unveiling the flesh beneath.

"Suction" Peyton says and she moves in with the machine that gargles up the blood from the exposed muscle

Peeling back the muscular layers you clamp down areas needing support. Soap's lumbar was one display. No major damage could be seen.

"Bullet must've missed the lumbar" Peyton says

"L1 clear" You say inspecting the upper lumbar region, with your blade you move down

"L2 clear"

"Suction" Peyton says

"L3 clear" you say and then move down

"Suction"

As you looked around L4, there was a sudden gush of blood and the monitors started beeping rapidly

"Found the bullet" You say "Clarissa, Kerrison rongeur" holding your left hand up whilst holding the area with your blade as Peyton continued suction. The beeping subdued.

"Need another pair of hands for this" You say

Peyton gave the suction pipe to the nurse on her right and then took hold of a clamp and forceps.

Cutting away at the connective tissue and muscle you peel the layer as Peyton grabs the shrapnel

"Hard part now.." She said after depositing the shrapnel in dish

Rapid beeping started again. You and Peyton both move together, suction, cutting, threading and assessing any damage to the surrounding nerves.

"Pulse at 120" Clarissa said as she took hold of the forceps from Peyton

"Shit" You say as more blood gushed from the wound which was quickly slurped away from the suction pipe.

"Sutures" Peyton said and she began to sew up the first damaged nerve.

There was a increase in beeping

"Pulse 150"

"Let me do it" You say and Clarissa swiftly gives you a new set of sutures.

After adjusting yourself you look down "Surgical microscope please" And the microscope was brought down to your level and adjusted to your eyeline.

Focusing your eyes through the lense you begin to graft the a new nerve from the damaged nerve, cutting the damaged part and sewing the ends.

This was your element. Fixing the broken. Mending the hurt.

After 5 hours of intense surgery, you and Peyton were nearly finished. The beat of song playing off the speaker was echoing across the walls of the OR. Nodding your head along to the drum of Green Day's American Idiot as you finished suturing the final layer of Soap's skin.

"Nice finish" Peyton said as she cleaned the area "Stats are good" she added looking at the various monitors that beeped rhythmically along with the music.

"Pause music please" You said, one of the nurses pauses.

You cut the last suture and place the forceps onto the tray held by Clarissa.

"Good job Dr Kaur" She said nodding at you. You nod back and return to admire the handiwork which was being dressed by Peyton and another nurse.

"He is stable and stats are looking great" Clarissa says as you eye the monitor. You turn to her and smile, putting more effort to crinkle as your mouth was hidden behind the mask.

"We will take him back to the ICU just for observation" Peyton said as she moved over from Soap to you and Clarissa.

"I'll help take him" Clarissa said "Well done"

"No thank you" You say "Thank you everyone" You say loudly to the rest of the medical team all who respond with a cheerful thanks back.

"I'm gonna head back" You say

"I'll keep you updated, and let you know when the team can see him" Peyton says taking her gloves off as they left the OR, she tapped you on the shoulder and walked off.

Taking off your surgical cover, masks and gloves you wash the grimy sweat off your hands. The smell of strong disinfectant soap filled your nose.

Leaving the scrub room you walk off back towards the double doors where you had rolled Soap in. He was okay now. Had to wait until he was awake to see if there is any nerve damage to his legs...

Checking one of the clocks on the hallway you realise it was 11:49am, you longed for a hot shower and then the comfort of your bed. Walking through the double doors, midway through yawning you were met with a giant man sat in the middle of the hallway. The skull face gave you a jump. It took a few moments to register that it was Ghost.

"Lieut-"

Ghost leapt up from his chair and nearly toppled you over as he confronted you

"Is he alright? Did he make it?" He blurted, his eyes widening at you.

You stare back into his eyes, only just able to make out the blue iris.

"He's okay." You say, reaching your right hand up to to his shoulder.

"His legs, said somethin' abou' his legs" Ghost huffed at you

"Ghost, he is stable and in the ICU, regarding his legs, we will have to wait until he wakes up to assess any damage." You to him calmly

He takes in this information, your calm demeanor. Of course you know what you are doing he thought to himself

"Are you okay sir? You ask

"I'm okay" Ghost said quickly.

You look at him curiously, there was something off about him.

"Okay then.." You say moving away from him.

Ghost moves towards the chair and picked it up with his left arm, the sudden weight made him wince and groan as his unattended wound stretched and weep as he moved.

"Fuuck" He whispered to himself as he set the chair back down and placing his right hand over his wound on the left side of his waist.

"Lieutenant what happened?" You say rushing over to him

"Nothin'" He said trying to push you away. You scoff at him and roll your eyes.

"Ghost, I'm in no mood for bullshit" You say sharply at him. Ghost looked at you, eyebrows narrowed, your eyes slightly red and clearly tired.

He was being rude again.

"I got a nick" He said motioning to his wound looking at your stern face, eyes narrowed. Clearly annoyed. "Can you patch me up?" He asks, your stern face relaxed, softened.

"Right, come with me" You say letting out a big sigh and head out of the RAMC building and then back to the infirmary in Building 2.

Turning the light on you spritz the med bed and give it a quick wipe.

"Get your vest off" You say plainly to Ghost who follows your command. He unties the straps and then sets his vest aside. Attempting to take his hoodie off but he couldn't as the wound caused him to wince further.

"Need some help?" You say as you look over to Ghost who was clearly struggling.

"Alrigh' then" He said and braced himself as you walk closer to him, bringing your hands to his body, rolling the hem of his hoodie slowly and carefully.

Ghost winced again as you went near his waist.

"Might have to cut it off" You suggest looking up at him.

"Go on then" He mumbled, the edge of his mouth curved slightly under his mask.

Grabbing a pair of clothing shears, you cut the hoodie off Ghost, revealing a damp black shirt underneath, his bare muscular arms on unveiled. You look at his waist, and see a patch of dried up blood, parts of his shirt clung to his skin dried and wrinkled.

"Sit on the med bed please" You motioning to the bed and then you walk off to the bathroom to wash your hands. Sleep eludes you. Drying your hands you head back to where Ghost was, who was now sitting crouched on the edge of med bed.

Putting on a pair of gloves and grabbing a stool with your foot you slide close to Ghost, and lift the t-shirt. As suspected the parts that clung to the skin where dried stuck to the wound. An impromptu weak bandage.

"Gonna also have to cut your shirt around the wound, it's dried to the gash"

Ghost looked down at you.

"Can't you bandage it?" He asks and the expression your face held clearly showed he asked a stupid question.

Your look of disbelief subdued, and grabbed the scissors. Ghost's heart quickened. He didn't mind being shirtless. But not when he has been in the field with limited availability to shower, smelt like shit and especially in front of a woman he was interested in...

"Wai-" Ghost began but he was too late, you began to cut his shirt off him, exposing his sticky sweaty scarred skin.

As you cut away at the fabric you notice various deep pink and white scars adorned on his chest and abdomen. Dirt had built up in areas, but it was expected. A shower is the last thing you need in the field.

Grabbing some saline water and a towel, you wash away dirt surrounding the remaining cloth covering his wound. Gently, with your gloved fingers you peel the cloth away revealing the gammy wound. Inflamed and dirty.

"Lift your arm" You ask and Ghost does so and watches as your pour more saline to the wound, his eyes focused on the precision placement of your fingers on his waist, not ogling him.

He slightly winces as your fingers graze over a sensitive area. As you examine the area, you notice it was bumpy, sand had gotten into the wound.

"This area is very inflamed. Lie down, it'll sting as I clean it" You say gently

Ghost shuffled back and then. laid down and then turned his head to watch as you focused on cleaning his wound, your concentration unwavering as you focused on the task at hand. He noticed the lack of talking, just blunt and no joy. But then, you did just finish a 6 hour surgery.

He gazed at your tired eyes, noticed how you rapidly blink every now and then, your mouth pursed, no smile on show. You grabbed some small gauze and wiped the wound.

"This is going to need stitches" You say

"Hmm" Ghost mumbled "I'll let you get to work, I'll just be here" He adds

You laugh slightly and then finish cleaning the area before starting to suture the two layers of fatty tissue and muscle, pulling the flesh together again, wiping away any blood with clean gauze.

Ghost felt himself slip into the bed beneath him as you got to work, focusing on his breathing; in for four, hold, then out slowly for four. Drifting away, away from the chaos of the last 24 hours. Away from the chaos that still looms ahead of him.

<CUE FLASHBACK> 23rd August 2010 Ashfield Base, mess hall "Sergeant Riley" You said as you plopped down opposite your superior in the mess hall with your lunch, the hall was mostly empty, the radio played on the speaker overhead. "Cadet" Sergeant Riley said not looking up from his cup of tea and half-eaten sausage roll. "C'mon sir, you know my name" You quipp at him as you take a bite of your pizza. Simon looks up from his cup and stars at you, your eyes widened and the grin appeared on your face. "Cadet Ruhari" He sighed looking back at his sausage roll. "Cadet maybe no more" You say cheerfully Simon looked up quickly "What do you mean?" He asked "Captain asked if I wanted to come join full time, commit proper into the army." You said "Ah" Simon said quietly "Ain't you got some good brains for uni?" He added and looked at you as you shrugged "Maybe can do it later, but I do enjoy this" You say motioning the space around you. "Nothin' enjoyable about war" He said sharply You were taken aback "Of course not sir, I just meant as in discipline, camaraderie and the protection of one's country" "Hmm" Simon mumbles giving you a slight cold stare with his sharp blue eyes. In that moment of silence, the radio station at base start playing 1973 by James Blunt. The echoes of the piano filled your body and you began to twiddle your fingers to the beat of the drum. Looking at Simon you start to grin, he looks up at you as you begin to mouth the lyrics: Simona.. you're getting older Your journey's been etched on your skin... "Simonaaaa" You sing quietly and giggle Simon gazed at your joyous smile as you continued to mouth the lyrics of the stupid song that made a twist of his name. He watched on as you exaggerated the 'mona' part of Simona and laughed along with you. Simon knew the Captain was going to offer you a place in the army, but he had hoped you would decline. Going out in the field changes people. Changes the best of people. Turns them into someone else. Would you still be the same after you see the horrors of war? Simon wondered as he watched you finally finish the now cold slice of pizza. He would hate to see that beautiful smile disappear.

Note

My dear. Unrelated to love notes but about Loki and the series I'm writing. It involves swords. I need assistance picking a type of sword that should be featured

In this photo, I'm digging the look of the long sword and the claymore.

However from this link, im loving the Crusaders sword and the Henry V sword.

Help. Please 🥺🥺

Hey love! Firstly, it took me like a week to reply to this...I started thinking about it too hard and then overthought it 😂

I'm gonna share some sword-insights from my personal experience. Each of these has different roles, and hopefully this helps you decide which is right for your scenario. i should say, shouldn't obscure your creative vision. If it works for you - go for it! Apologies for the word vomit, I just really like swords.

Longsword (and Claymore, which is basically a meaty scottish longsword but bigger) is a two handed weapon, designed for solitary, powerful strikes. As it's two handed, the force comes very much from the upper body, with a low amount of movement with the legs. It's very 'purposeful' - ideal for big swings, and big energy one-to-one on the battlefield.

This isn't to say a master couldn't use it one-handed, but it's too long and unwieldly to be sustainable. (See: Aragorn, LOTR.)

Crusader Sword - from the link you sent, I'd describe this as a type of broadsword based on the lengths (approx 35 inch blade). The Crusader name is essentially a design.

A broadsword is a good mid-size sword (and the one I currently train in, coincidentally) and allows much more flexibility and nimble attacks and defences. It's a one-handed sword, meaning that all attacks and defences are, duh, from one hand. The other arm is used for balance, or whatever. Most of the power comes from the arm holding the sword, and the wrists, as well as footwork. It can be carried on the hip, although maybe a bit cumbersome. (see Johnny Depp below - different hilt, same mechanics)

Shortsword - my wildcard suggestion if the two options you mentioned don't quite fit. The shortsword is a funny one, it's not the cool sword, but it IS probably the most useful. The nerd sword, if you will.

The shortsword is a short blade, natch - which offers max flexibility and response in a fight situation. It's all in the footwork, and the power behind the thrusts - because it's pretty light so YOU need to strike harder.

It's designed for close combat, including easy blocks and counters. Defo an indoor use sword, when you need to stab someone in the ribs and be done with it.

Because of the typical length (12-24 inches) it can be used as a single blade, or dual blades. Something you can't do with a broadsword cos you'd end up slicing yourself. You do need to know what you're doing with it though, as strikes won't land unless you hit the right place. It's all about the technique with this one, rather than a solitary killer blow like Longsword. (reference: Loki)

It also works well with a leather back holster. Just sayin.

I hope this answers your questions :) Lemme know if you have any other burning blade related queries😂⚔️

@gigglingtiggerv2 @lovelysizzlingbluebird @fictive-sl0th @peachyjinx @holdmytesseract @mochie85 @simplyholl know you like this stuff

Celeste's Tattoos

Firstly! Here are all the previous posts about my oc Celeste!!

@childe-of-saulot @myrmyrtheorca @lixenn

Decided to tag anyone who liked my post where I was debating drawing these out or just describing them. Now onto describing her tattoos!

So her first tattoo of note is her spine tattoo of moon phases. Each moon is 2 inches long and wide, or 5.08 cm long and wide. The waxing crescent moon sits right between her shoulder blades and, if I'm estimating this about right, the full moon should be about mid back. All the phases expect the full moon are fully colored in in black.

The second and third tattoos of note are the XX on the inside of her left wrist and the IVIV on the inside of her right. These tattoos are Xanxus' and (my headcanon for) Aria's birthdays. Celeste obviously adores all her kids with all her heart, but these two are her babies, hence why they have pretty visible tattoos on her.

On the front of her right thigh she has an outline of a rainbow. Only Orange is colored in, representing the loss of her wife Luce. (In the future arc, all but yellow are colored in by then.)

On the side and some of the back of her right thigh she has a large cluster of star outlines. A few have different numbers in them that correspond with the Arcobaleno's birthdays, anniversaries of different things important to her, and most of her other kids birthdays.

On the side of her left thigh she has two crescent moons flipped away from each other with the date 22-12 written underneath. This is a reference to Bel and Rasiel. She has the moons flipped away from each other because she knows her boys didn't get along despite her best efforts to prevent that, so it's her way of at least stopping it symbolically.

Moving back up her body to the two tattoos I find the most fun lol. Under her right breast, mostly on her rips, she has a colored outline of a black lily. This represents the Giglio Nero Famiglia and her inherent loyalty to them now since she married Luce.

Under her left breast, again mostly on her ribs, is a rose outline. This is to represent her family. Though she has a strained relationship with it and the few remaining members, she can't bring herself to fully hate it. To her, though deeply flawed, she still loves her family and all the joyful things it brought her.

On her right shoulder, she has a simply skull outline tattoo. Not only is this a reference to her assassination organization, the Cranio, but it's also a direct reference to her first love and childhood best friend, Skull. She frequently debates to herself about getting more details on it in violet to further reference him.

On her left shoulder, she has a moth tattoo. This is one of the few tattoos on her that doesn't hold a lot of meaning other than she likes moths. Now what type of moth, I'm not sure on yet. Leaning towards luna moth or polyphemus moth.

She may very well get more tattoos eventually, if I do give her more, I'll update this list lol

Hiyori knows how to sharpen swords and clean them properly. Her father showed her his routine to keep the blade on Enma maintained and at its sharpest. She continued to do this for twenty years for her father's blade until it was given to Zoro.

While Zoro was passed out from the battle when Kadio was finally defeated, she took care of him while sharpening his other two blades as well to make sure they were not damaged from the battle.

Hiyori has scars on her back and hips from customers who were too rough and abusive. She endured them for years as she trained to become an oiran until she finally became the highest ranking. She never told Denjiro, but he figured it out and did his best to make sure the worst ones never came back.

Hiyori's mother played the shamisen and promised to teach her when she turned five years old. However, she was only taught one song, Moon Princess. This was why she learned how to play the shamisen for 13 years to become the best, but she could never hold back her sorrow when she played as she remembered her family.

The reason she wore a kitsune fox mask was to honor her brother as he gave her a nickname or referred to her as being sneaky like a fox.

Hiyori is very awkward with forward affection, especially from strangers due to her time as Komurasaki. She had to deal with stalkers and people trying to attack her claiming it was due to their love for her. She doesn't believe in affection from someone right away, but once she gets to know them she will become more comfortable with them.

She hates spicy food and cannot eat anything super sweet. However, she loves the sour taste of fruits and sake that would be sour.

Hiyori is a very heavy drinker as she can handle her alcohol very well from developing a tolerance for over ten years as she underwent training as Komurasaki.

Hiyori is pansexual as she is more attractive to a personality than the outside appearance. However, normally she leans toward women more compared to men romantically as she had horrible experiences with them during her time as Komurasaki.

Zoro is one of the men she actually likes because Toko likes him as he protects them. He reminded her very much of her father as he taught her about the honor of a samurai which Oden taught her real men follow. Due to Zoro saving them and being the ideal man in her eyes, Hiyori cares for him deeply which is why she is very affectionate towards him.

Hiyori suffers from PSTD when it comes to physical contact with men. She prefers it on her own terms, but she will break out in a sweat and could potentially have a panic attack. When she slept with Zoro she saw no choice but to keep them all warm plus she noticed how relaxed Toko was, so she trusted her daughter. Still, you could see the hesitation on her face and sweat droplets forming slightly.

Hiyori has a higher body heat compared to most normal people. Her body temperature just runs higher.

She has a really good balance as she was able to walk in 12-inch Okobos very well on her own using very little support from others, however, when traveling long distances she will need to learn on someone's shoulder.

Megalograptus is a genus of eurypterid, an extinct group of aquatic arthropods commonly referred to as sea scorpions which lived throughout the worlds oceans during the katian stage of the late Ordovician period some 453 to 445 million years ago. The first fossils of megalograptus were recovered by L. B. Welch near Liberty Ohio, in rocks of the Elkhorn Formation in 1874. Welch then presented his findings to be described by Samuel Almond Miller in 1874. Miller mistakenly believed the fossil material, consisting of a postabdominal tergite and two fragments of an appendage, was the integument of a graptolite (a member of Graptolithina, an extinct group of colonial pterobranchs), and gave it the name Megalograptus, meaning "great writing" in greek. With the species name M. welchi being in honor of L.B. himself. The status of Megalograptus as a graptolite was first questioned in 1908 by Rudolf Ruedemann, who was researching Ordovician graptolites. Ruedemann instead recognized the remains of M. welchi as eurypterid fossils, this idea would be confirmed by August Foerste and Edward Oscar Ulrich later that same year. In the time since several additional more complete specimens have been recovered throughout both the USA and Canada representing at least 5 species: M. welchi, M. alveolatus, M. ohioensis, M. shideleri, and M. williamsae. Megalograptus varied considerably in size with the smallest species reaching a mere 3.9 inches (10cms) in length while the largest reached 2.7 feet (78cms) in length. Megalograptus is easily distinguishable from other eurypterids for sporting 6 sets of appendages with the third being particularly massive spined and forward-facing, as well as a unique sharp spike-shaped telson which has cercal blades capable of grasping. The carapace of Megalograptus was vaguely quadratic in shape and flattened, lacking a marginal rim, sporting large kidney shaped compound eyes and six small downward-facing spikes. Certain fossils of megalograptus are so well-preserved that researchers know that megalograptus would have been a mix of brown and black in coloration. In life Megalograptus lived in near-shore marine environments feeding upon prey such as trilobites, mollusks, other invertebrates, conodonts and early fish. Megalograptus was inturn preyed upon by large orthocones such as Cameroceras and larger eurpyterids including other megalograptus individuals.

Destiny

Casey startled awake. He knew he was in shock, the familiar blur at the corners of his vision warned him so. There was an attempt to stand that didn't even make it an inch off the floor. He was bleeding heavily from a variety of places; his chest, his arm, his leg, his stomach. New and bold scars were in his future.

Oh.

A future to think of. That was nice.

He wasn't dead.

"Fuck," He croaked. Had his throat been slashed again? He sounded like rocks in a wood chipper. "Fuck!"

Casey couldn't help but exclaim. Shock was keeping him awake and alive but excruciating pain was playing along his nerves. Another attempt to stand went nowhere. He was definitely still on the slave traders' ship. The dull bronze and steel around him plus the stench of decay and misery told him all he needed to know. Some measure had been triggered which turned all auxiliary lights red but there was no screeching alarm.

Footsteps padded across the flooring. Casey fumbled for his gun but his fingers didn't move. Shit, shit, shit--

"It's you."

It was a kid. They looked around 13 or 14, probably human, with a shock of strawberry blond hair and freckles everywhere. The slave trader imprisonment garb sent physical pangs of agony through Casey's head but he gritted his teeth through it. Dr. Charm would be getting a lot of business from him once he got back home.

"Me?" He rasped.

"Yeah, you--"

More kids trotted down the hall, of all genders, species, and size. They ranged from little to young teen and each one looked scared, hungry, tired. Casey swallowed the nails in his throat.

"I think I blacked out," Casey fumbled for his phone with his good hand. The screen was absolutely fractured. It was dead. "I woke up here. What--"

The first kid shook their head then nodded. Unlike the younger ones, they seemed to understand the situation.

"They're all dead," They offered him a little smile. "You were insane out there. I guess... It makes sense you blacked out.

Casey winced as images flashed behind his eyes. A volley of gunfire, smoking barrels, the slick slide of a blade through flesh. He remembered snapping someone's neck, stabbing someone through the eye, shooting someone with their own gun. Perhaps all the blood on his clothes weren't his own.

"Who's flying the ship?" Casey tried to stand. Some of the kids scuttled over and did their best to help.

"It's on autopilot," They replied, watching him tentatively but without malice. "I can't fly it. None of us can."

"We can figure it out," Casey grunted as he finally was rendered upright. The kids flocked around him and helped him walk. "Let's start by seeing if we can call anyone."

+++

The walk to the bridge was agonizing. Casey managed to pry his prosthetic's hidden compartment open. He gave himself numbing and clotting shots all over which was probably a mistake but the pain threatened to knock him out. The bridge was blood-soaked though a little less so than the rest of the damned ship.

"God, I remember all of this shit," Casey grumbled, doing his best to keep himself stable. "Which means this should be the communications interface."

He double-tapped on the screen set into one table of control panels and a rolodex of contacts phased into view. Perfect. He dialed 101 and waited as the line buzzed. One ring. Two rings. Three rings--

"This is intergalactic authorities, please describe the manner of your situation."

"Yes, hi, this is Cassius Florian Hart," Casey barked. "If you trace this ship's signature, you'll find us. Run the sheets, this is a slave trader ship, I've just freed at least a dozen kids and they need to be escorted off this heap of shit and brought back to their families."

"I'm sorry, sir, did you say slave trader ship?"

"Yes, I did. Like I said, run the sheets, I've got names. Oszlo Scripp, T'Nathy Yigmar, Plillup P. Pill, Xhordour. All working for the same slave trader ring, usually referred to as SLT, Silver Line Traders. They kidnapped me 12 years ago and I got out but I had to come back to save these kids."

"... Understood, sir, we're running the sheets and locking in on your location, looks like you're on a freighter in the Dark sector. You said your name was Cassius Hart?"

"Yes, ma'am, I'm a bounty hunter. You can run my sheet as well. Arrest me if you need, just rescue these kids. The trader ring will dismantle itself now that all the bosses all dead."

"... No worries, sir. I can't speak for the rest of the system but I don't think heroes who bust slave trading rings and rescue kids typically get sent to jail."

Casey spluttered a laugh at that. He turned to the kids who peered up at him with wide innocent eyes.

"You," Casey gestured with his chin to the kids' appointed leader. "What's your name?"

"Starr." They replied with a little more confidence.

"Do you think you know or can find out where all these kids are from?"

"Yeah, but also don't need to," Starr pointed back down the hallway. "There are files on all of us in the office. Gotta keep a good record so you don't visit the same place twice too soon."

Casey shivered at that. Disgusting. Thank god it was over.

"Do you or any of the kids need medical attention, sir?"

"Definitely, I'm worried I'll pass out before you guys get here. If I do, we're all in the bridge."

"Do your best to stay conscious, sir, help is on the way. We should have officers and medics at your location in under 30 minutes."

"Thank you. Really, thank you."

Casey put the call on hold and dialed a second line. It rang until it went to voice message. Milo was probably just away from his phone. No matter.

"Hey, pumpkin, it's me," Casey couldn't help but smile even if it hurt. "I'm alive! Intergalactic authorities are on their way to pick me up, buncha kids were on the ship but all the big bastards are dead. I should be home soon--"

He glanced at the ship's HUD. He'd been gone for only two days.

"I'd say certain things but there are kids present," A few of them giggled. "I'll need a new prosthetic but we can handle that when I get back. I love you, Milo. See you in a bit."

Casey ended the message and brought the other call back. It didn't seem like anything had happened, just chatter between comms. Finally, Casey felt his legs buckle beneath him. The kids sounded distressed as he collapsed into the captain's chair.

"Cassius?!" Starr jumped to attention and scrambled over. "Are you dying?!"

"No, no," The hunter wheezed a laugh and deflated further into the seat. "I'm just tired. The authorities should be here soon. Just make sure everyone stays here and sits tight. If I pass out...."

The last thing Casey saw was Starr's panicked expression before the world went dark.

+++

Casey stuck to the shadows, barely perceptible to the human eye as he slunk around the slave trader ship. He prowled outside the bridge, counting heads. Eight were here, discussing the star map, planning on their next stop. Righteous fury boiled in the cowboy's gut but he willed his mind to go blank. No feelings, no thoughts, just death.

He waited until the group fractured and only four remained. Four didn't seem too bad. He only distinctly recognized one of them, Plillup P. Pill, a sentient nudibranch-like creature who had secured their name in the world of bioweaponry. They were a threat on their own but Casey felt like all four horsemen rolled into one right now. He silently procured three throwing needles, each dripping with neurotoxins. Swift as the wind but silent as the dawn, Casey threw them and they sank into Plillup's back without making a sound. They immediately began to wobble and stumble, rendered mute as the poison worked instantaneously. Before they could find their voice, Casey sank a knife into one of the other trader's neck, severed their spinal column. He didn't want to fire anything yet. Bullets needed to be saved for when the firefight started and taking out as many of these bastards out as silently as possible would give him a massive upper hand. As Plillup passed out and the other trader fell, Casey dashed onto the bridge and slammed a fist into one of their faces, knocking them out cold. The last trader got their throat slit and the quartet was down.

Adrenaline pumping, Casey slit all their throats just in case then faded back into the shadows.

+++

The air was cleaner, crisper. Gone was the heavy iron stink of the trader ship. Instead, the space was antiseptic, like a hospital.

It was a hospital.

Casey groaned, blinking awake. His body was somehow just too tired for panic. Otherwise, he'd be scrambling out the door; hospitals were one of his greatest fears. Anyone could access his records and easily find the little oddities that hinted towards his special circumstances. Hospitals were terrifying because they could easily lead to his true greatest fear; captivity.

There were no cuffs. He wasn't lashed down to the cot. Perhaps, for a brief moment, he was safe.

He did his best not to startle when the suite's door opened but the many monitors he was hooked up betrayed the charade.

"Apologies," A man in a suit entered, flipping through a clipboard. He waved his hand dismissively at all the beeping. "Didn't mean to spook you. Just wanted to get some details from you before we ship off."

"Who are you?" Casey croaked. He sounded like hell.

"No one for you to worry about," He smile behind his mustache. His eyes were old and kind though he had a militaristic air about him, like a distinguished veteran. "But you may call me Rick. How are you feeling, Cassius?"

"Like shit," Casey rolled his bad shoulder. His prosthetic was gone. "Where am I?"

"Medbay on a ship, what kind I cannot disclose," He checked his watch. "We should be pulling up to Megacomplex 68 in a few hours. Should be enough time for you to be decently heeled. Got you shot up with all the good stuff, best medicine the government can buy. You'll need a couple weeks of taking it easy but you've got no holes in you. Maybe a few new scars."

"You're taking me home?" Casey deflated a little, relaxing. "Fantastic. I really appreciate it."

"Few questions for you first, son," Rick flipped a few pages on his clipboard. "Is it factual that you were born in 1859 on Earth on Cheyenne land?"

Casey's eyelids fluttered. It was a quiet shock to hear the statement said aloud.

"Y-yes, that is correct."

"Mhm. And is it true you were taken by," Rick narrowed his eyes to read the page. "By a fellow with the name of Xoser Grand? Best known for his being a famous slave trader in this sector?"

A darkness passed over Casey's face. Any lesser man would've shuddered at the expression but Rick didn't flinch.

"... Yes."

"And you were aware he was a part of this ring that you single-handedly disbanded tonight? And you also accept and admit you slayed those twelve remaining members yourself?"

"Yes."

Rick pursed his lips as he scribbled on his clipboard. He set it down on his lap then looked at Casey once more. Something in his posture dropped and he seemed to speak candidly.

"... You did a good thing, Cassius," Rick's eyes were darker than a vast ocean. "I know men like you. Tormented. Haunted. Stone cold killers. Hard to feel like a hero. But you did a very very good thing."

Before the hunter could reply, Rick slapped his knees and stood, tucking his mysterious paperwork under his arm. He almost reached to shake Casey's hand but pulled back, nodding firmly.

"If you need help acquiring a new arm--"

"I have a guy," Casey declined politely. "But thank you."

"Good. Very good. Well, you'll be home in a few so take it easy. We've already contacted Mr.Garou-Daphne so he'll be awaiting when we arrive. Rest well."

With that, Rick departed, leaving Casey to stew in his own thoughts.

+++

Casey snapped, like he feared he would.

It took a stab in the chest, far too near his heart. He was down halfway in heads collected. The remaining six were tough. He'd been stabbed, shot, slashed, the whole shebang. Blood was everywhere, mostly red, some blue, some green.

Casey's consciousness was dragged under. He went completely numb, thoughtless, moving on pure instinct. He would be shot and stabbed but he would feel nothing, dissociating through senseless murder. It was a survival response. His mind would block out all thoughts and feelings to push him to survive.

It worked well. He was the last one standing, soaked in his own blood. Once the count was final, all twelve bodies accounted for, his mind brought his consciousness forward and he passed out from blood-loss. No matter.

The work was done and he would probably live for now.

Understanding Rip Capacity

The rip capacity of a table saw is a crucial aspect to consider when purchasing a new machine or evaluating the capabilities of your existing one. Understanding rip capacity is essential in order to determine the size and types of materials you can work with effectively. In this article, we will delve into the definition of rip capacity as well as how it is measured, providing you with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Definition Of Rip Capacity Rip capacity refers to the maximum distance between the blade and the fence on a table saw, specifically when cutting parallel to the grain of the wood. This distance is usually measured from the right side of the blade to the right edge of the fence, allowing for the largest width of material that can be cut in one pass. How Rip Capacity Is Measured Table saw manufacturers typically measure rip capacity in terms of inches, with common rip capacities ranging from 24 to 50 inches. To determine the rip capacity of a table saw, you need to measure the distance from the blade to the right side of the table. This measurement represents the maximum width of material that can be safely cut on the right side of the blade. The measurement of rip capacity is vital, as it directly impacts the size of stock that can be cut and the efficiency of your work. A larger rip capacity allows you to handle larger pieces of plywood, MDF, or other materials, enabling you to tackle a wider range of projects. Conversely, a smaller rip capacity limits the size of materials you can work with, potentially impeding your woodworking projects. It is important to note that although a table saw may have a specified rip capacity, the actual usable capacity may be slightly less due to the bulk of the blade and the mechanism that tilts it. Therefore, it is advisable to consider the usable rip capacity rather than purely relying on the manufacturer's stated measurement. Understanding rip capacity is crucial for any woodworker, as it determines the flexibility and capabilities of a table saw. Whether you work on small DIY projects or large-scale woodworking endeavors, knowing the rip capacity of your table saw enables you to select the right machine for the job and ensures efficient and accurate cuts on various materials.

Optimizing Rip Capacity

Rip capacity is a crucial feature of a table saw that determines the maximum width of the material you can cut. Optimizing rip capacity ensures that your table saw performs efficiently and effectively for various woodworking tasks. Whether you are cutting large sheet goods or narrower panels, understanding how to make the most of your table saw's rip capacity is essential for achieving precise and accurate cuts. Below are some key considerations for optimizing rip capacity. Choosing The Right Blade Selecting the appropriate blade for your table saw is essential for optimizing rip capacity. Choose a high-quality rip blade with the correct teeth configuration and hook angle to ensure clean and efficient cuts. The tooth count, gullet size, and kerf thickness are vital factors to consider when choosing a blade that can maximize the rip capacity of your table saw. Setting Up Fence For Maximum Rip Capacity Proper alignment and adjustment of the fence are crucial for maximizing the rip capacity of your table saw. Ensure that the fence is parallel to the blade and is set at the correct distance to accommodate the material you intend to rip. Adjust the fence position to provide adequate clearance between the blade and the fence while maintaining optimal support for the material. Additionally, make sure the fence is securely locked in place to prevent any movement during the cutting process.

Different Kinds And Functions Of Meat Saws

It ought to noted soon after one buys square-section lengths of timber, the dimensions supplied are the type prior to planing, so the timber will almost allways be smaller than expected. The previously rough sawn timber is now referred to as PAR or Planed All Round. Blade grinders are the cheaper of the two options, and consist within your blade that spins at high speeds to chop up the coffee pinto beans. They are often small and very mobile - ideal for taking going on a vacation. MSK saw s shield the blade from a casing under the saw table and suck the dust out directly from there. Others slant ground of the saw cabinet towards a dust collection port. Many just permit sawdust to amass on the floor under the saw before you clean it out. You will always have some cleaning in the interior to do. Perhaps you won't delay until the sawdust has totally encased the trunnion gears packing itself up to your bottom of the table top. You'll need to connect the saw to a dust collector through its dust opening. The suction of the dust collector in order to about 350 CFM to find a 10" saw and more for a wider saw. With straight, flat board. Many people assume that they are afraid a jointer if they possess a thickness planer. What understand often a thickness planer doesn't flatten a board, just makes it a uniform thickness. Anyone have put a bowed board through a thickness planer you'll get yourself a bowed board when it appears out. The jointer first makes the board flat on the reds. It does this by having two flat tables one on each party of a spinning cutting tool. The board is pushed over the blade that is set try off the specific amount, say 1/32". The opposite table in the opposite side of the blade is about 1/32" lower to make up for the volume of material removed in our example. In doing this you get a flat covering. So, know hammer drill bits . A grinder consists of few hardy screws whereby the other parts are rigid. A lock or even a handle, along with the different kinds of slicers. A genuine effort . also a support feet set that come along together meat grinder. Table saw: 10 inch cabinet saw, not a kind little saws that set on a table top, Again find a second hand saw, 2 to 5 horse power and an easy fence is all you seek. so long as the blade can be squared up and fences can be adjusted quite possibly true. rust can be overlooked, and belts can be replaced. One thing here to spend money on is the blade, carbide tipped 50 to 60 tooth spend $50.00 to $70.00. you will want two $50.00 blades not one $100.00 blade. One blade is either at the saw sharpener or ready to go the sharpener. point is a sharp lower cost blade is a lot better than dull $150.00 blade.

Sliding miter saw

If you rarely need to cut to the capacity of a 12-inch sliding compound miter saw, why carry the extra weight? Next, understand the trade-offs between capacity versus portability. When looking at the various types of miter saws, focus on the nature of your work and the material you intend to cut.

Pass if: You rarely need to bevel in both directions.

Buy if: You want to bevel-cut crown and base flat in both directions.

If you prefer to make your crown and base molding cuts flat-this saw saves you lots of hassle on longer pieces of material. This saves you some time and frustration. The left bevel eliminates the need to flip your material around to make the opposite compound cut. On a dual compound sliding miter saw, you get a miter table, sliding rails, and beveling that goes both left and right. In this way, you get the flexibility of a compound miter saw with the added depth of cut afforded by the slide. This miter saw uses rails to increase the cross-cut capacity and adds a left bevel to enable compound cuts. The compound sliding miter saw includes the best of both worlds.

Pass if: You want a more compact saw for greater portability.

Buy if: You need to cut deeper material like 1×12 or 2×12 lumber.

Most sliding miter saws also include the ability to make a compound cut. It gives you a much greater depth of cut than the same size miter saw without rails. Sliding Miter SawĪ sliding miter saw is a type of miter saw that adds rails to let the saw blade slide front to back across the wood. Check out our chop saw vs miter saw article for more on that topic. Some people refer to a miter saw as a “chop saw” but we separate them. Most chop saws are designed to cut metal. It may, however, exceed the blade radius when you make a cut against the back of the fence.Įditor’s Note: A chop saw is similar to a miter saw, but with no ability to adjust the miter angle from 90 degrees. The capacity will be smaller than the blade diameter since the arbor gets in the way of letting it drop all the way through. The blade drops straight down and your cut capacity is limited by the blade’s diameter. In its most basic form, the miter saw (or chop saw) has a table that pivots to the right and left, allowing you to change the angle of the cross-cut you’re making.

Should I Buy a Corded or Cordless Miter Saw?.

With this appliance, you'll be able to quickly and easily chop up vegetables, fruits, nuts, and more. You can also use it to make sauces, dips, and spreads.

6. A Toaster Oven

This is a small appliance that can be used for baking, broiling, and toasting food. It usually has a capacity of six slices of bread or a 12-inch pizza. You can cook a variety of food in a toaster oven, such as chicken, burgers, vegetables, and cookies. A toaster oven can be more energy-efficient than a regular oven because it uses less electricity. It also heats up faster, so you can start cooking your food sooner. And since it's smaller in size, it's easier to keep clean.

On the downside, toaster ovens can be expensive and they don't have all the features of a regular oven. Having said that, they're quite versatile and can save you time and energy.

No doubt one or two of these appliances have appealed to you. So why not do some more research and shopping right now? With the right purchases, you'll enjoy cooking as never before, and all your household will reap the benefits.
