Space Corp. Directive #1215225
Tumblr media
For some ungodly reason, you fancy the second technician, but you'd be damned if you ever admitted it.
Pairing: Arnold Rimmer x (F) Reader
Warnings: None! Apart from some pining
Chapter Seven: White Hole
//
“Great,” scoffed The Cat. “So where does this leave us?
“It leaves us floating aimlessly in space, with no navigation and a rapidly diminishing emergency power supply.”
Kryten only had a few facial expressions in his programming but he still managed to look grave as he said,
“It leaves us galloping up diarrhoea drive without a saddle.”
You blew out a long breath, trying to keep your heart at a steady pace.
You’d had very little in the way of training before your first and only mission to the stars, just the basics so you’d know what to do in an emergency, where the meeting points were and how to fire up the escape pods. You couldn’t recall a protocol for if the ship’s computer suddenly decided to off-line and power down the ship, but then maybe no one could have predicted something so bizarre ever happening.
“So how come Grand Canyon Nostrils is still here?” Cat said, jabbing a thumb in Rimmer’s direction.
Lister nodded.
“Yeah, Rimmer hasn't been wiped!”
You glanced across at Rimmer, who had kept close to your side since things started to go topsy-turvy. You couldn’t be sure whose benefit this was meant to be for, but he looked frightened and was hiding it badly.
“Holly must have linked him up to the emergency power supply.”
“Is that stable?” you asked, suddenly feeling sick. “What if there’s another power surge? We could lose him.”
It was funny. Just the other day, you’d finally found yourself settling into life on Red Dwarf, succumbing to the idea that this was home now and you should appreciate what you had, rather than wasting your life away longing for a home that no longer knew you. Now, it could all be taken away.
Time moved differently now. Weeks and months had passed, slowly but surely, silently melting into each other until, with a sudden jolt, you realised you’d spent two years had aboard Red Dwarf. You were fairly sure you wouldn’t even have noticed if Lister hadn’t thrown you an outrageous anniversary party. Rimmer had presented you with a badge to mark the occasion, two years of service. You wore it with pride.
Two years aboard Red Dwarf. And you’d been thinking about Rimmer for more than half of that. Try as you might, the feeling wouldn’t go away. You’d come to accept that too after a while.
Chest aching, you wished you could reach out and take his hand now. But he, like the time that laughed at you, would only slip through your fingers.
“I assure you, ma’am, it’s quite safe,” Kryten tried his best to smile, but he was still having trouble with that particular facial expression.
Lister frowned.
“But isn't that an enormous drain?”
“Yes, but if we switch off his projection unit, we wouldn't have enough emergency power to re-initialise him. Mr. Rimmer would be effectively dead.”
“Hey, things are looking up already!”
You opened your mouth to argue but Rimmer got there first.
“Forget it,” he said firmly. “Whatever it is you're suggesting, forget it.”
“But the entire ship is running on emergency battery power only. With the oxygen recycler and minimal heating and lighting, I estimate that Lister, the Cat and the Lieutenant have approximately two months left. Without your drain on the power, they might last six.” Kryten shook his oddly-shaped head. “I'm sorry, sir.”
“Sorry?” Rimmer parroted. “Why are you sorry?”
“Well, Space Corps Directive 195 clearly states that in an emergency power situation, a hologrammatic crew member must lay down his life in order that the living crew members might survive.”
“Yes, but Rimmer Directive 271 states just as clearly, ‘No chance, you metal bastard’.”
“I beg you to reconsider, sir! Human history is resplendent with examples of such sacrifice.”
“Okay, okay, let’s all just calm down.” You raised your hands in the air, hoping to change the subject before a full-blown argument sparked. “No one’s sacrificing themselves, no one’s switching Rimmer off. We can find another solution.”
The Cat scoffed.
“Well, you would say that, wouldn’t you.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“You’d throw us all under the bus for your boyfriend in a heartbeat!”
“Oi, hang on!” You couldn’t look at Rimmer for fear of turning an even more embarrassing colour. “That’s not true! I just don’t think we should jump to murder at the first sign of trouble!”
“Technically, ma’am, “killing” a hologram does not count as murder,” Kryten put in unhelpfully.
Chest tight, you drew yourself up to your full height and levelled each of your crewmates with a hard stare.
“We are not! Switching! Him off!” you said, enunciating each word so there could be no doubt that that particular conversation was over before it could even begin.
You felt a hand on your shoulder. Lister gave you a reassuring smile, as if to let you know he had your back, then gave you the faintest nod, telling you to stand down. It was only when he gently squeezed your shoulder and removed his hand that you realised you’d moved to stand in front of Rimmer, as if putting yourself between him and the others would protect him in some way.
“Okay, okay, okay, easy kids, easy,” Lister said, always the diplomat. “Let’s not turn on each other, okay? We need a plan.”
“So what do we do now?” The Cat asked.
As Lister spoke, you stepped back to stand beside Rimmer. Your hands stayed balled into fists at your side. Just because he was a git and an arrogant bastard and a pompous arse didn’t mean he deserved to be switched off. And just because he wasn’t yours didn’t mean you couldn’t protect him.
“Well, it's back to basics,” Lister said. “We've got no heat, no light, no power. We can't get any food out of the dispensing machines. We’re gonna have to scavenge for what we can find in the cargo decks. Without computers and technology, we're reduced to the level of primitives. All we've got is us, guys. Us and our own resourcefulness!”
The Cat rolled his eyes.
“My God, it's worse than I thought.”
/
Determined not to die, the Dwarfers split up and set about completing their given tasks. While The Cat and Lister went looking for food, you took Rimmer up to the bedrooms in search of warm clothes for those that needed them.
The last residual energy from the dead engines was already starting to peter out, and the ship was icy cold. Crossing your arms over your chest, you tried to encourage some warmth into your muscles as you hunted through closets and chests of drawers for coats that might fit Lister and that Cat wouldn’t turn his keen nose up at.
Rimmer followed close behind you. Unable to help search or carry anything, he was a bit of a spare part, but after the argument in the drive room, you were reluctant to let him out of your sight.
He’d been awfully quiet since then. It was probably the longest Rimmer had gone without making a sharp criticism or snide comment in all the time you’d known him. It couldn’t be a good sign.
Standing by the door, looking mopey and thoughtful, you wondered if he was simply quietly bemoaning his inability to help. It must be exhausting. The few hours you’d spent as a hologram were enough to last you a lifetime, you couldn’t imagine how it would feel knowing it’s all there was.
“You really don’t need anything?” you asked, pawing through the Captain’s extensive wardrobe. “Doesn’t your light bee get cold? I could try and fashion it a tiny woolly jumper?”
It was daft but you thought it might encourage a polite smile, at least.
Rimmer just stared emptily at the floor.
“Or I could just carry you around in my pocket?”
You smiled. That usually did the trick but no, nothing.
You sighed and turned back to the wardrobe, but before you could think of something else stupid to say, Rimmer finally spoke.
“You didn’t need to do that, you know.”
His voice was low, his eyes still downcast. He spoke so softly, you had to strain to catch every word.
You hummed, pretending not to know what he was talking about. You were just glad your back was turned and he couldn’t see the look on your face.
Rimmer sighed.
“Defend me. I can look after myself.”
“I know,” you said. “I just wanted to.”
Rimmer went quiet again for a moment, as if considering each of your words at great length. Then finally, he said,
“Because you like me.”
He seemed to be repeating the words to himself, rather than asking you a question. An affirmation, maybe. You’d told him enough times that you liked him, enjoyed his company, considered him a friend. Rimmer kept asking for reassurance and you happily gave it. After a lifetime of ridicule and disappointment, you weren’t surprised he found it so hard to accept.
“Yes,” you said, shooting him a smile over your shoulder. “Ah ha!”
You pulled an enormous faux fur coat from the wardrobe and raised it high above your head triumphantly. You paraded around the room with it, before slipping it over your shoulders and tucking the sides under your armpits, trapping your body heat within.
“This is a winner, Arn. D’you reckon I’ll get to keep this one or will Cat wrestle it off me?”
At last, Rimmer smiled as you came towards him, if only faintly.
“If we don’t solve this,” he said, his voice still soft and low. “You only have two months of oxygen. Maybe less.”
That wiped the smile from your face. Yes, it was a less than exciting prospect. You’d always seen Red Dwarf as your saviour, now it might be your undoing. Still, it was better than ending up like your old crewmates. And at least you’d die amongst friends.
“Looks that way. But I’m sure Kryten will think of something. There’ll be some way to generate our own supply or… Something. I don’t know.”
Not for the first time, you cursed your lack of technical knowledge. Apart from the basics, you really had no idea what Kryten or Holly were talking about most of the time. Even Cat knew how to pilot Starbug. Unless someone needed a translator, you were completely useless.
Even the title 'Lieutenant’ was gifted to you, when you were assigned to the Atalanta IV. That wasn’t to say you hadn’t worked hard to achieve it, and to keep it. A classical education and a keen mind for linguistics had got you far, but fat lot of good it was to you now.
Rimmer bit his bottom lip, his eyes still fixed on the floor.
“If they switched me off, you’d have a better chance,” he said quietly.
Your expression hardened.
“They’re not going to switch you off.”
“But if they did-”
“I won’t let them.”
Rimmer pulled in a breath. You wondered if his simulated heart was racing, just as yours was.
“I can’t…”
He broke off. But you understood. You always did.
“I know.”
“I just- I need you to…”
“I know,” You smiled. “It’s okay, Arnie.”
“I would consider it,” Rimmer said, and finally met your gaze. “If you asked.”
His eyes. You couldn’t recall ever seeing them so soft, so open. Being honest and vulnerable was as difficult to Rimmer as it was to you, if not more so. This was a gift, this openness, a gift for your eyes only.
“I wouldn’t ask,” you said. “Ever.”
You couldn’t kiss him. You couldn’t slip your hands around his middle and pull him into you. You couldn’t even hold his hand. But you could show him how much he meant you, you could tell Rimmer in no uncertain terms that you weren’t going to let anything happen to him.
“I know but four months-”
“Is nothing. It’s just prolonging the inevitable.”
“But in that time you could-”
“I don’t want it. Not if it means losing you. So just… Accept that you have someone who cares about you and let’s figure a way out of this.”
Slowly, silently, Rimmer’s face softened, until finally, he was smiling at you properly. Again, it looked like he wanted to say something to you, something important, but now wasn’t the time. You didn’t think you could handle anything else huge and life-altering today.
He seemed to feel the same way, so it surprised you when Rimmer took a step forward, his head inclined towards yours. He was so close, you could feel the faint hum of warmth coming off of him.
“Still, I want to thank you somehow,” he murmured.
Fingers itching to reach out and touch him, you fought to hold his gaze. You deserved a medal for not looking at his mouth.
“Get us out of this, Second Technician.”
Rimmer beamed. Finally, this was a language he understood.
“Aye aye, Lieutenant.”
/
Five days passed and there was no improvement.
The ship was so cold, those who could breathe could watch their breath curl through the air before dissipating into nothingness. You’d started taking turns on Rimmer’s old exercise bike, trying to churn up as much energy as you could, but it presented little results.
Finally, things were so desperate, the group had to ask Holly for help. Even in her dire state, she had a plan.
You stared at the navicomp display, hoping one of your friends would understood it more than you did.
A beautiful hologrammatic representation of the quadrant danced before you. Two stars. The left had two planets revolving around it, one blue and one green. The second star had just one red planet orbiting it.
“Let me get this straight…” Lister said as he watched the hologram display rotate. “Is she doing what I think she's doing?
The Cat shrugged.
“Why? What do you think she's doing?”
“Playing pool with planets.”
“Is that possible?” Rimmer asked, his nose wrinkling at the prospect.
“Well, it's not going to work. It's completely insane. It's whacko. It's noodle-doodle.”
“I'm with you, buddy,” The Cat snorted.
“No, not the idea, the shot! There's not enough side.”
“Side?"
“Yeah, side-spin. It's a complete mis-cue.”
“What are you drivelling about, Lister?” Rimmer sneered. “We're talking about a computer with an IQ in excess of 12,000.”
“Doesn't mean she can play pool. I can. Trust me. I know whereof I speak.”
“Dave,” you sighed. “We’re running out of time.”
“I promise you, that is a complete mis-cue. I say we chuck Holly's coordinates in the bin and let me take the shot.”
“What?”
You laughed, assuming Lister was kidding.
Rimmer didn’t seem to find it as funny.
“You’re mad,” he said. “There’s no way I’m letting you chance our lives on a hunch!”
“Just for once in your life, trust me!”
You could see Rimmer starting to panic now. He was supposed to be in charge. He was supposed to be taking care of his crew and they wouldn’t let him, they never let him. And now he had you to think about.
You could tell what was on his mind. Rimmer kept glancing at you, then at the fur coat you still had draped around your shoulders. You’d asked him to get you out of this mess, he didn’t want to let you down.
“As senior officer onboard-”
“Actually,” The Cat cut in. “Lefty is the senior officer.”
All eyes turned to you.
You drew in a deep breath. It was the first time the boys had actually called upon your rank for the final say on a matter. It was petty, a way to put Rimmer in his place, so it left a bad taste in your mouth. Still, you had the attention of the room, you should use it.
“I don’t know about this, Dave.” You nodded at the holo-map. “I trust you but Holly knows what she’s talking about.”
This was considered only briefly before more arguing ensued. The boys bickered and bickered until finally, Rimmer called for a vote. A tie meant you went with Holly.
Lister, leaning against the wall as if this really were a pool hall in Liverpool, and not the diciest set of circumstances any of you had come across in your lives, simply smiled.
“Well, I vote for Dave ‘Cinzano Bianco’ Lister.”
“Cat?”
“Well, I agree with you, buddy,” said the Cat.
Rimmer looked pleasantly surprised, but then he went on,
“But I'm voting for Doodoo Breath. The thing is, even though you're right, I could not bring myself to vote for someone with your dress sense.”
A muscle in Rimmer’s jaw twitched. He was furious, frightened, and outnumbered. And when he looked at you and spoke your name, your real name, you knew he was begging you to help him.
“I…”
You pressed your lips together. You had to go with your gut, it was the most honest thing to do.
“I think Rimmer’s right. Holly’s done the calculations, we should trust her. Sorry, Dave.”
Lister shrugged to show there were no hard feelings.
You couldn’t bring yourself to look at Rimmer. Not while you still couldn’t hold his hand.
“Down to you, Kryten,” he said urgently.
“Well, I agree it's insane and suicidal, sir. But I'm afraid I have to side with the human.”
Lister smacked his forearm, grinning.
“Brutal!”
/
Closing your eyes, you tried to tune into the humming of navicomp. Watching the planets spin around and around was starting to make you feel sick, though that may have been from the dizzying odds laid out before you.
When you opened your eyes again, the others had moved through to the flight deck and were starting up Starbug. You were alone with Rimmer.
His arms were folded, his eyes down again. He was chewing the inside of his cheek. You could guess what was bothering him because it bothered you too.
“He’s a git,” you said, just loud enough so that only Rimmer would hear it.
He didn’t look up.
“Lister?”
“Kryten. For saying that. You’re as human as me and Lister.”
When he still didn’t look at you, you waved a hand upwards, encouraging his attention towards you.
“Okay?” you said, hoping he’d hear in your voice just how important it was to you that he got that.
Rimmer finally met your eyes and after a moment, nodded slowly.
“Okay.”
Then, so softly you had to strain to hear him, he said,
“Listen, if things go pear-shaped, I just wanted you to know-”
Your chest lurched.
“Don’t do that, Arnie.”
“I just wanted to say…” He soldiered on, his mind made up. “It’s been really lovely knowing you. I… I think you’ve made me happier than I’ve ever been in my whole life.”
You stared at each other for a moment, weighing the silence that fell between you in your hands. He wanted to say more. You wanted to say more. You could both feel it.
Emotionally stunted as he was, you could see that Rimmer was battling with something in his head, the same thing he hadn’t been able to say five days ago when you told him you’d keep him safe. He wanted to look after you too, and trusting Holly’s calculations was his way of doing that. And he’d been denied it. He must have been feeling as sick as you.
“It’s going to be fine,” you said, though anyone could tell you were trying to convince yourself just as much as you were trying to reassure Rimmer. “We’re going to be fine.”
/
You couldn’t watch.
Two beers downed, Lister stood by the navicomp hologram with a robotic pool cue cradled in his hands. As the planets swam, he lined up his shot. Nothing. Silence. And then… Bang!
Crammed together around one viewscreen, you watched as a solar flare leapt from the surface of the nearest star, washing the blue planet out of orbit.
You watched, breathless, as the planet span right into the other star, missing the white hole by about half the width of the screen.
Rimmer’s jaw hit the floor.
“He's missed.”
On the navicomp, the blue planet struck the orbiting red planet with a spark. The red planet too was displaced from its arc.
“We're finished!”
The hologrammatic red planet slingshotted out of its orbit and headed straight for the first star.
You watched, aghast, as it hit the green planet, which in turn ricocheted out of its orbit and straight toward the white hole.
Lister leapt into the air, his fists held high.
“She rides!”
Rimmer, too annoyed to be pleased that you were going to live after all, stepped back and sighed.
“You jammy goit.”
You were all too shocked to celebrate.
“'Ere, what's goin' on? Where are we?”
The Dwarfers looked around as the computer screen lit up and Holly’s beautiful, single-digit IQ face sprang back into life.
“What happened to that plan to make me brilliant again?” she pouted.
“Of course!” cried Kryten. “Blocking up the white hole has eradicated its influence! The time it spewed into the universe no longer exists.”
Rimmer glanced at you, perhaps wondering if you knew what the mech was on about, but you were just as clueless.
“Meaning?”
“Well, basically, we occupy a redundant timeline. Reviving the toaster, making Holly a genius… None of this is going to have happened.”
“What about us? Are we just going to pop out of existence? Just gonna cease to be?”
“We will cease to be here, because none of this will have occurred. But we will exist back on Red Dwarf, before all this began. With, of course, no memory of these events, which, of course, never happened…”
As Kryten spoke, the walls around you slowly began to pale and fade, until finally vanishing altogether. A vast starfield enveloped you, the cold foreverness of space laid out all around you. You could almost reach out and touch them.
“And as these events never happened, we will have no memory of them…” Kryten went on gleefully. “In which case, Mr. Rimmer, sir, I should like to take this opportunity of saying that you are the most obnoxious, trumped-up, farty little smeghead it has ever been my misfortune to encounter!”
It would all be gone. In just a few seconds, everything that had happened between you and Rimmer would be lost. Already, you could feel your grip on reality slipping, as if you were slowly falling asleep, or maybe it was more like being pulled from a wonderful dream.
You battled with your subconscious, trying to keep yourself in the here and now, in this timeline, where Rimmer knew that you would always put yourself between him and anyone who tried to hurt him, where he’d shown that he’d do anything to keep you safe. You couldn’t just let this time be taken from you, not without a fight, it wasn’t fair.
You turned to him. If this was all going to be lost, if these events would be undone and respooled into a different timeline, then you should make good use of it while you could.
“And I’m in love with you,” you said, your voice surprisingly steady and calm despite the world crashing down around you.
Rimmer’s lips parted, his eyes wide.
You smiled.
“I’ve been in love with you for months now. Years even. Just thought I’d mention it. Just in case I’m never brave enough again.”
Behind Rimmer, the stars were going out. You could see them all, blinking and bursting out of existence in his dark eyes.
“In love with…” He shook his head, like he couldn’t understand what the words meant. “Wait-”
/
Humming gently to yourself, you wound your way through Starbug’s abdomen to the flight deck.
Rimmer was sat at the controls, his hands at 10 and 2 as described in the little ship’s manual. He looked up as you came through to sit down in the co-pilot’s chair and smiled.
“Ready for landing, Lefty?”
You nodded eagerly.
Below, a great forested plane rose up to greet you. Rimmer had seen it on the scanner and suggested a day trip. There would be rocks and mountains, forests and possibly animal life. It would be like taking a stroll through a national park on Earth, though here, the trees sprouted bright turquoise leaves and the waters were thick and dark as tar.
“Ready and raring, sir.”
You saluted him, then buckled in for landing.
Rimmer smiled, and something in your chest nudged at you to tell him, to tell him what you’d only discovered about yourself just a day or so ago.
I love you, you thought. I love you and you have no idea.
But now wasn’t the time. Maybe in another world, in another life, another timeline, you might’ve been braver. But right now, you were going on an adventure with your friend, and that was enough for you.

Livin’ the Lemberos Life
Day 7, Thursday - Bryce & Moab
When we woke up we threw our stuff in the car and headed back to Bryce, straight to the Queen’s/Navajo Combination Loop. It was a nice little morning hike through the canyon and helped us get some steps in before the long drive back to Moab.We had to stop and charge again at Green River but it was worth it to have a full battery for Moab.
Tumblr media
This time, we got back to Moab early enough to find a legit campsite. First, we went to check out some campsites along the Colorado River but due to all the recent rain, those sites were closed. We ended up on a scary dirt road on the edge of a canyon before we both decided to turn around. I was very glad that Aidan was driving instead of me.
I wanted to go back to Sand Flats Recreation Area for a site but Aidan was doubtful. We were in luck! It was early enough to grab a great site. After setting up camp, we went straight into town for an early dinner. Little did Aidan know, Irene would be meeting us there!
Irene and her family were in Moab for a vacation and I decided to keep it a secret. I sent Irene my location and she tracked us down to a gift shop to reveal the surprise. The three of us caught up and ate dinner at the Food Truck Park which was right next to Irene's hotel. She told us she had a pool and said we should've brought our swimsuits. Good thing we had the car with all of our stuff in it - benefits of car camping!
Tumblr media
The three of us went for a swim and then got to take a shower. What a treat! When Irene's family got back from their dinner, they invited us to join them on their evening of stargazing in Arches. Somehow their car was big enough to fit all 8 of us! While it was a bit cloudy for good stargazing, we had a great time joining the Lemberos family.
Tumblr media
Day 8, Friday - Canyonlands
As usual, we started the day by going to the Visitor's Center, this time at Canyonlands. There, they recommended a bunch of shorter walks. First up was, would you believe it, another arch trail - Mesa Arch. This trail gave us an expansive view of the canyon and another quality arch pic.
Tumblr media
Next, we did the Upheaval Dome trail which reveals a ~mysterious~ dome shape in the canyon. There are two theories about how it formed - salt and a meteor. Aidan and I are on team meteor.
Tumblr media
Whale Rock was next, although I don't think we followed the trail. Instead, we walked out as far as we could until we reached the edge of the canyon. There, we saw white throated swifts dive bombing the canyon. The longer we stayed, the closer they got to us. They flew so fast you could hear them soaring through the air. Something about their speed and proximity while sitting on the edge of the canyon was a little unnerving; however, it was such a special and memorable experience.
Tumblr media
We had a picnic bench lunch and then went to the Grand View Point Overlook which gave us 360 degree views of the canyon.
Tumblr media
We grabbed some quick tacos at the food trucks before heading back to the Lemberos' hotel for a swim - this time, with all the kids. We caught up about our days and hung out until dark. Aidan and I were looking forward to building a fire and making s'mores back at camp but unfortunately it was extremely windy so we had to take shelter in the tent and eat cold s'mores - if you can even call them that. I got a good whole body exfoliation that night from the sand whipping into our tent.
Tumblr media
Day 9, Saturday - Arches & Drive to Denver
On Saturday morning Aidan and I went back to Arches to see the Windows. We were supposed to meet the Lemberos' there but we lost service. Aidan and I began the walk and went off to the primitive trail where Chris found us! We got to do the rest of the walk with the whole group and do a few photoshoots. Don't we blend in well with our adopted fam??
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sadly we had to head back to Denver, but at least we had a concert to look forward to on Sunday. Aidan had a great time at his first Red Rocks show! Eventually, we had to say goodbye. Stay tuned for when I go visit Aidan in London - hopefully next year and hopefully with Irene!

CHAPTER ONE
People…
(4 yo)Izuku: Enough Kacchan! Y’already made him cry… stop it! I won’t let you. 
(4yo)Katsuki: So Deku, the quirkless wonder, thinks he can play hero, huh?
Are not born equal. That’s the hard truth I learned at age four.
But that…
(14yo)Izuku: Wow. A giant villain!
[out in the distance Izuku watches from the side lines along other civilians at a unseen gigantic villain fighting against heroes]
…was my first and last set back.
-ten years later-
Izuku narrates to us readers: It all began in the town of qing qing, china; with the news of the birth of a mysterious luminescent baby!
Izuku narrates to us readers: Shortly there-after, similar phenomena popped up all over the world.
Izuku narrates to us readers: The trigger for these new found powers was never determined, but as time progressed what was once extraordinary became ordinary.
Izuku narrates to us readers: And “dreams”, became reality!
Izuku narrates to us readers: Of the world's population, 80% have developed these unique abilities, or
“individualities”-- called “quirks”! We have entered a new age– a society of superhumans!
Izuku narrates to us readers: And in this world whirling in chaos– a certain profession that people used to aspire to only in daydreams– has stepped into the light of day!

Extras: ?!(meant to be taken by surprise, I think)
Mount Lady: This villain really suits my formal debut! My name is “mount lady”, pleasure to meet you, and leave the rest to me.
Narrator[Izuku](the chapter shows mount lady waving to the public as she walks by the villain she had just kicked, police offers staring at her in disinterest and annoyance): The great phenomenon was attended by an accompanying increase in crime levels, and while nations dawdled in making any sort of radical change to the law men and women of charge took inspiration from comics and donned the mantle of heroism! They began policing this brave new world, and defending innocents from evil. Suddenly, through the swell of public opinion, heroism gained rights as an official occupation! And due to their various acts of service, they obtained…
Narrator[Izuku](close up of mount lady’s greedy smile lol): Income from the state and renown from the people!
Izuku(mumbling): Gigantification, huh as a quirk it’s fairly likely to attract attention and popularity, but since it isn’t also somewhat limiting since it’d be easier to inadvertently damage the city while on the job? Of course that’d be the moot if one could control one’s size.
Star-Head Man: You taking notes!? Aiming to be a hero, huh Nice! Good luck kid!
Izuku: ……! Yes! I’ll do my best!
[Izuku in class]
Teacher: C’mon, class! You’re middle school seniors. It's time you started thinking seriously about your futures. I’ll be handing out printouts on your desired life-course!
Teacher(gets up and throws papers in the air): You all want to be heroes, don’t you?
Teacher: Yes yes, your quirks are all wonderful, but it’s against the rules to use them during school!
Katsuki: Sensei, don’t lump me in with everybody else! You can’t compare me to these losers’ weak-ass quirks! Mine’s a whole other ball game!
Classmates: You’ve got a big mouth, Katsuki!
Bakugou Katsuki: Shut up! Extra’s should act like extra’s!
Classmates: Oh yeah, I’d forgotten… Bakugou’s shooting for UA high, isn’t he?
Classmates(Izuku is shown to be hiding in himself): You mean that national-level academy!? Isn’t the entrance exam's difficulty rating as high as 79!?
Classmates: Yeah, and it’s hyper-competitive to get into, right!?
Classmates: I hear they barely accept anyone!
Katsuki: Ah, the stupid chattering of extras! I aced the mock exam! I’m the only one here with the stuff for UA! 
[Katsuki, now on top of the desk, with hands in the typical cartoon villain style who’s on a monologue rant]
Katsuki: I’ll even surpass All Might and become the best hero out there! Not to mention, I’ll be one of the richest people in the world!
Teacher: Oh. You’re also going for UA aren’t you, Midoriya?
[Classmates all turn to Izuku slowly as they burst into a mocking laughter]
CLassmates: Huh? Midoriya!? No way!
Classmates: Good grades alone can’t get you into the hero program!
Izuku: Th-that’s not necessarily true! Sure, there’s no precedent, but…
Katsuki: Come on, Deku!
[Katsuki uses his quirk on Izuku’s desk]
Izuku: Whoa!
Katsuki: Forget the crappy quirks. You’re totally quirkless! And you think you can rub shoulders with me!?
Izuku: Wa… Wait, No, Kacchan! I wasn’t saying I could compete with you! Not at all! I mean it.
Izuku: It’s just… been my dream. Since I was little and well… there’s no harm in trying…
Katsuki: Try!? Try what!? The entrance exam!? You’re taking the exam just to “try”!?
[Katsuki stands over Izuku as the rest of his classmates peer over Bakugou’s shoulders]
Katsuki: What can you even do!?
12:02PM DOWNTOWN
Extra: Thief! Someone stop him!
Villain[thief]: Catch me… if you can!
Extra: Someone’s bound to show up.
Extra: This guy must’ve been inspired by the chaos this morning. Lots of people out there just can’t control their quirks, I guess.
Extra: There’s no end to them
All Might: Yes, there is. Why, you ask? Cuz…
[Villain looks in fear as All Might smiles]
All Might: I am here!
Back to Izuku’s classroom
Classmate: Let’s go to karaoke
Classmate: I can’t today!
Izuku(Thinking): The incident this morning is all over the net! I’d better get home and get my notes in order.
Katsuki: We ain’t done here, Deku.
Izuku: Ah…
[Katsuki holds Izuku’s notebook over his head as he sat]
Extra(that follows Katsuki): What’s that, Katsuki?
Extra(that follows Katsuki): “For My Future”? Seriously!? This guy, Midoriya…
Izuku: C-come on, give it back!
[Katsuki explodes the notebook with a angry look on his face]
Izuku: HUHHH!? Why?
Katsuki: The best heroes out there, well… they showed signs of greatness, even as students. I’ll be the first and only hero from this crappy public middle school! The first to in the honor of becoming a student at UA High. Guess I’m just a perfectionist.
Extra(that follows Katsuki): So vein… 
Katsuki: In other words… don’t you dare get into UA, nerd!
Extra(that follows Katsuki): Jeez… typical. C’mon, say something…
Katsuki: He can’t say anything. He’s so lame. Even as a third year he can’t face reality. 
Katsuki(turns to Izuku): You wanna be a hero so bad? I’ve got a time-saving idea for you. If you think you’ll have a quirk in your next life… go take a swan dive off the roof!
[Izuku turns to Katsuki with anger in his eyes as Katsuki lets off an explosion in his hand]
Katsuki: Yeah? What?
Izuku(Thinking): Idiot! If I really jumped, you’d be charged with bullying me into suicide! Think before you speak!
[Izuku at the koi pond in his school as he goes to get his burnt notebook back]
Izuku: That’s not food, stupid. It’s my notebook… idiot.
Izuku: Idiot.
-Flashback to when Izuku was a little boy-
Child Izuku: Mom! Computer!
Inko: Again? Izuku, I think you’re responsible for tens of thousands of this video’s views! It’s a little too scary for mommy to watch.
Izuku(narrating): It was an old clip… there was this big disaster a while back. But in the aftermath, a certain hero made his debut!
Newscaster who was videotaping All Might’s Debut: Are you seeing this!/ He’s already saved a hundred people! Wow! And it’s only been ten minutes so far! Wow! And he’s smiling!
All Might(in the video): Fear not! Why, you ask? Cus, I AM HERE!
Child Izuku: He’s so cool! When I get my quirk… I wanna be just like him!
[In the background Inko shuts Izuku’s door with a worried look on her face]
[Time skip to later in Izuku’s life as he sits in a doctors office]
Doctor: I’m afraid there’s no hope for him.
[Izuku looks shocked as he hears this]
Inko: No! There must be some mistake? The other kindergartners have all started showing signs… but
Doctor: Pardon my asking, ma’am, but you’re fourth generation, yes? As far as quirks, I mean…
Inko: Yes, of course… I can pull small objects towards me and my husband can breathe fire.
Doctor, pointing to an x-ray of Izuku’s foot: By the age of four, a child should manifest either one of his parents’ quirks or a composite of the two. However, early quirk research discovered one important finding. It has to do with the presence or absence of the extra pinky toe. Humans have no need for parts they don’t use, you see. And those without the joint represent the next stage of evolution. 
Doctor: Izuku here has two joints. It’s becoming quite rare nowadays, but he possesses no quirk at all!
[Izuku at the computer as he watches a old rerun of all might saving people]
Izuku: Mom… no matter what kind of trouble you’re in… he’ll save you with a smile.
Izuku, pointing to the computer screen: A super-cool hero like that. That’s what I wanna be.
[Inko cries and lands on her knees as she holds Izuku in her arms]
Inko: I’m sorry, Izuku. I’m sorry!
Izuku(narrating): No… No mom… back then, what I wanted you to say was…
[flashback ends and Izuku is walking under a underpass on his way home]
Izuku(thinking): that was when I decided. I decided not to care what anyone says! To keep my chin up and keep moving forward!
[A villain appears behind Izuku with a sinister look]
Villain: A medium-sized body… to hide in…
Izuku(thinking): a villain!?
Villain: Don’t worry. I’m just hijacking your body. Calm down. It’ll only hurt for 45 seconds… then it’ll all be over.
Villain: I’m saved. You’re a real hero. I never thought he’d show up in this town.
Izuku: MMF!!
Villain: No point in trying that! I’m fluid, ou see!
Izuku(thinking): I can’t breathe! My body… getting weak… I’m dying! I’m going to die! Someone, help! I’m dying! No…
All Might: Fear not, kid! I am here! Texas…
[All Might gears up for a punch]
All Might: Shock… wave!
Izuku: Oh… huh!? All… M…ight…
All Might, trying to wake up a passed out Izuku: Hey, hey! Hey, uh, thank goodness!
Izuku: Whaaa!!!
All Might: You’re okay! Excellent! Apologies for getting you caught up in my villain hunt. Mistakes like that aren’t my style, but… this is a strange land to me, and besides I’m off camera!
All Might: But my success here is all thanks to you! I’ve contained the villain!
Izuku(thinking): All Might! He’s here… He’s really here! Up close, I can really see… He’s drawn in a totally different style!
Izuku, looking around his body: Oh! A-an autograph! Where’s… Ah. My notebook… He already did it!?
Izuku, bowing at a fast rate: Wow! Thank you so much! What a treasure! It’ll be my family heirloom!
All Might: Now I must bring this fellow to the authorities!You can catch me again on the TV!
Izuku: Um! Wait… is that it? I…
All Might: A pro battles not only enemies, but also time.
Izuku(thinking): Hold on! I still… I need to ask you…
All Might: Until next time!
[All Might blasts off into the sky]
All Might: Thanks for your support!
[All Might looks down to find Izuku holding onto his leg]
All Might: Hey, now! Release me! Such enthusiasm is a bit much!
Izuku: If I… let go now… I’ll… I’ll die!
All Might: True enough!
Izuku: I… Need to ask you… So many things… Gah! You…
All Might: Okay, okay. Just do me a favor and close your eyes and mouth!
[All Might coughs into his hand mid air as blood trickles from his mouth.]
All Might: Damn.
[The scene changes to the villains POV from the bottle]
Villain(thinking): damn, that bastard. If not for him, I could’ve…
[Bakugou kicks a can as his “extras” follow behind him]
Extra one: Haven’t you know him sine you were kids.
Extra Two: Yeah, you went too far today.
Katuski: It’s his fault for messing with me. Seeing him so full of stupid dreams like when we were kids…
[Katsuki explodes the bottle the villain was in]
Katsuki: Just pisses me off.
[Katsuki turns to his “extras”]
Katsuki: Thought I told you to stop smoking! Get caught, and it’ll go on my record too!
Extra One: H-Hey
[Villain behind Bakugou appears to swallow him whole]
Villain: A body… with a good quirk.
[Back to the rooftop with All Might and Midoriya Izuku]
Izuku: Scary.
All Might: Of all the…!!
All Might: Hopefully the people downstairs will help us get down. I’ve no time though! Truly!
Izuku: Wait! Um…
All Might: No! I will not wait.
Izuku: Even without a quirk… can I still be a hero!?
[Izuku’s eyes are shut as he asks this question]
Izuku: Can someone without a quirk… become a hero like you?
All Might: Quirks are…
[All Might begins to smoke as he speaks and starts to panic]
All Might(thinking): Oh no… damn it all.
Izuku: Because I don’t have a quirk, I… well, maybe that’s not the only reason. But I’ve always been picked on… That’s why… maybe that’s why… I think that saving people is just about the coolest thing someone can do.
Izuku: The way you save people with that fearless smile! I want to be the strongest hero, just like y-Whaaat!?
[Where a buff All Might once stood is replaced with a skinny man, Small Might]
Small Might: …
Izuku: You’re all shriveled up! Huh!? Were you… huh!? A fake!? An impostor!? So thin!!
Small Might: I am All Might!
[Blood pours from his mouth as he speaks]
Izuku: Whoa! No way!
Small Might: You know how people hold in their gut at the pool? It’s like that.
Izuku: no way!
Small Might: A fearless smile, huh?
[Small Might sits down]
Small Might: You’ve seen the real me, kid. But don’t write about it on the internet, okay?
[Small Might pulls up his shirt to show off a gnarly wound]
Small Might: Five years ago… an enemy did this to me. My respiratory system was nearly destroyed, and my stomach was removed. I’ve wasted away because of the after-effects of those surgeries. I can only do my hero work for about three hours a day now.
Izuku: Five years ago…? Was that when you fought Toxic Chainsaw?
Small Might: That lowlife? He could never do this to me!
Small Might: This was never made public. That is, I asked that it not be made public.
Small Might: A symbol of peace who saves people with a smile must never be daunted by evil.  The reason I smile is to stave off the overwhelming pressure and fear I feel. A pro should always be ready to risk his life. Without power, can one become a hero? No, I should think not. 
Izuku: Ah.
[Small Might now rises from his dramatic sitting act] 
Small Might: If you desire to help people, becoming a police officer is always an option. Those villain custody officers are often mocked but… that too is admirable work! 
[Small Might now leaving through the door]
Small Might: It’s not wrong to dream. However, you need to be realistic, kid.
[Small might going down the stairs alone as he checks his pockets]
Small might(thinking): have to get this guy to…
[Small Might looks out the window to see an explosion]
Small Might: Oh no.
At the center of the town
[Katsuki, engulfed by the villain as civilians and heroes surround the area.]
Katsuki & villain: Aaargh!
Mount Lady: A single-lane street? I can’t get there!
Kamui Woods: Explosive fires are my weakness! Someone else has to take this one!
Backdrift: Thanks, but I’ve got my hands full too! Where are the fire-fighters? Hows it looking over there!?
Death Arms: He’s too slippery to get hold of. But his hostage with the explosive quirk is resisting. It’s like a minefield out here, but we can’t do anything against him!
Civilian: Wow! Some sort of hardcore villain!?
Civilian: Go get him, heroes!
[Katsuki & villain getting attacked by unnamed hero]
Katsuki & villain: Argh!
Death Arms: No good! There’s no one here who can stop him!
Unnamed hero: Just gotta wait for someone with the right quirk to show up!
Backdrift: Until then, keep the damage to a minimum. Someone’ll come!
Unnamed Hero: We need that kid to hold on just a bit longer!
Death arms(thinking): shoot! If only I had the power to blow him away!
[civillins all look concerned as small Might runs into the crowd huffing]
[Small Might thinks back to Izuku holding his leg as he stares at the scene]
Small Might(thinking): That’s when it happened! I lost track of time dealing with that fan led to this! Pathetic.
[Small Might holds his wounded side as he looks at the scene with helplessness]
Small Might: Pathetic. 
[Izuku is walking down the street as he sighs at his burnt notebook]
Izuku(thinking on All Might's words): You need to be realistic.
Izuku(thinking on Bakugou Katsuki's words): Even as a third-year, he still can’t face reality.
Izuku(thinking on his teacher's words): It’s time to start thinking seriously about your futures!
Izuku(thinking): Even… the best of the best said it. Don’t cry! You knew already, right!? This is reality… it’s because I knew… that I tried so damned hard… So hard not to see. To ignore reality. Yeah.
[Izuku looks at the scene where a “villain fight” is going on.]
Izuku(thinking): hey, that explosion…?
Izuku(narrating): I’m so used to gawking. Just stop it. I’ll only make myself feel like a loser.
[Izuku looks at the scene and see’s the villain that attacked him.]
Izuku(thinking): Is that him!? How!? All Might let him go!? Did he drop him!? That means.
Izuku: This is my fault!
Civilian: Why’re the heroes just standing there?
Civilian: Seems the villain’s grabbed a middle schooler.
Civilian: Hey, that villain… isn’t it the one All Might was chasing?
Civilian: All Might!? No way! He’s really here?
Izuku(thinking): It’s my fault All Might can’t do anything. This guy can’t be caught. We have to wait for someone with the right quirk to show up!
Izuku(thinking): hang in there… I’m sorry! I’m so sorry! Someone will come to save you soon… A hero’s bound to come..
[Izuku see’s Katsuki trapped in the villain’s slime as he runs into the battle to help him]
[All heroes on the scene look shocked to see him do so]
Death Arms: Get back here, you fool! Stop!
Villain(thinking): it's that kid.
Bakugou Katsuki: Deku?
Izuku(thinking): Why am I running? What am I doing? Why?
Villain: You’re dead.
Izuku(thinking): What do I do? What do I do? At a time like this?
[Panel shows page 25 of izuku’s note book it reads as followed: “Kamui Woods” - Preemptive Binding Lacuered Chain Cell… When comforted by an enemy. His ams(vines) stretch out and bind the enemy like chains. Pros -> damage is… Cons -> Weak against multiple enemies or when surrounded. Circled in the corner it reads “Always best to keep damage to a minimum!”]
[Izuku throws his backpack at the villain where it hits the villain in the eyes]
Villain: Grr.
Izuku: Kacchan!
Katsuki: You! Why!?
Izuku: My legs just started moving! Why? I dunno!
Izuku(Narrating): There were any number of reasons. But at that moment…
Izuku(thinking on everything people have said to him and he himself has said): There’s no hope. 
Izuku(thinking on everything people have said to him and he himself has said): Thanks! I’ll try!
Izuku(thinking on everything people have said to him and he himself has said): It’s my fault.
Izuku(thinking on everything people have said to him and he himself has said): You think you can rub shoulders with me!?
Izuku(thinking on everything people have said to him and he himself has said): Kacchan
Izuku(thinking on everything people have said to him and he himself has said): No harm in trying.
Izuku(thinking on everything people have said to him and he himself has said): My dream.
Izuku(thinking on everything people have said to him and he himself has said): A super cool hero.
Izuku(thinking on everything people have said to him and he himself has said): You need to be realistic.
Izuku(thinking on everything people have said to him and he himself has said): saving people with a smile.
Izuku as he smiles at Katsuki: You… You looked like you needed saving.
[Izuku tarts to claw at the slime with a smile on his face]
Katsuki, as he’s suffocating: Stop… it!
All Might(thinking): Pathetic… Pathetic!
Villain: Just a bit longer. So stop getting in my way!
Death Arms: Does he have a death wish!? He’ll die for nothing!
[All Might rushes in the battle as he puts his hand on izuku’s arm]
All Might: The lesson I left you with… I should practice what I preach! A pro should always be ready to risk his life!
[All Might coughs up blood as he yells]
All Might: Detroit Smash!
[The punch echoes across the city as it starts to rain.]
Civillains: Rain?
Civillains: No way. The air pressure… that rising air current…
All Might: Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey.
Civillains: He changed the weather with a single punch!
Civillains: Amazing. That’s All Might!
Izuku(Narrating): Afterwards, the heroes collected the villain’s scattered body. Seems like the police managed to get him into custody. The heroes were really mad at me.
Death arms: There was absolutely no need for you to put yourself in danger!
Izuku(Narrating): Kacchan, on the other hand, got all the praise.
Unnamed hero: You were real tough out there! And that quirk! Consider becoming my sidekick once you go pro!
[Izuku starts to walk home as he laments on his day.]
Izuku(thinking): I wanted to apologize to All Might, but… I guess I’ll just leave a message n his website when I get home.
Katsuki: Hey, Deku!
Katsuki, looking down as he shakes: I… 
Katsuki, glaring at Izuku: I never asked you to save me! S if you could! Well?! I could’ve beaten him myself. How dare a quirkless failure like you pity me Trying to win me over!? Don’t you dare mock me! 
Katsuki, turning around and walking away: Stupid nerd!
Izuku(thinking): What a tough guy!
Izuku(Narrating): He’s right though. I couldn’t do anything. I couldn’t change anything. But still… I’m glad. Now I can finally focus on a more realistic future…
All Might, running from a corner: I am here!
Izuku: Huh!?
Izuku: All Might!? Why are you here? You were surrounded by reporters!
All Might: Shaking them off is nothing to me! Afterall, I’m All Mi-
[Smoke appears as All Might turns into his small form]
Small Might: Koff!
Small Might: Kid. I’ve come to thank you and revisit what I said earlier… I also have a proposal.
Izuku: Huh?
Small Might: Without you… If I hadn’t heard your story… I’d been nothing but fake muscles and insincerity! So thank you!
Izuku: Fake muscles?
Izuku: That… No. I mean, it was all my fault from the start! I got in your way… even though I’m quirkless, I dared to ask if…
Small Might: Exactly!
Small Might: Of all the people at the scene… it was only you, timid and quirkless, who acted! You surprised me to action!
Small Might: Most of the top heroes show signs of greatness even as children… Many of them claim that their bodies simply moved before they could ever think!
[Izuku starts to shake and sob as he holds his chest]
Izuku(Thinking): For some reason… I remember what my mom said. “I’m sorry, Izuku. I’m sorry!”
Small Might: That’s what happened to you back there, yes!?
Izuku: Yes!
Izuku(thinking): No, mom… back then, what I wanted you to say was…
Small Might: You can be a hero!
[Izuku breaks down onto his knees as he sobs before Small Might]Izuku(Narrating): Fantasy… became reality. I forgot to mention this, but… this is the story of how I became a great hero.

BNHA chapter One
People…
(4 yo)Izuku: Enough Kacchan! Y’already made him cry… stop it! I won’t let you. 
(4yo)Katsuki: So Deku, the quirkless wonder, thinks he can play hero, huh?
Are not born equal. That’s the hard truth I learned at age four.
But that…
(14yo)Izuku: Wow. A giant villain!
[out in the distance Izuku watches from the side lines along other civilians at a unseen gigantic villain fighting against heroes]
…was my first and last set back.
-ten years later-
Izuku(Narrator): It all began in the town of qing qing, china; with the news of the birth of a mysterious luminescent baby!
Izuku(Narrator): Shortly there-after, similar phenomena popped up all over the world.
Izuku(Narrator): The trigger for these new found powers was never determined, but as time progressed what was once extraordinary became ordinary.
Izuku(Narrator): And “dreams”, became reality!
Izuku(Narrator): Of the world's population, 80% have developed these unique abilities, or “individualities”-- called “quirks”! We have entered a new age– a society of super-humans!
Izuku(Narrator): And in this world whirling in chaos– a certain profession that people used to aspire to only in daydreams– has stepped into the light of day!
[Kamui Woods fighting a large villain over a city like area(with other unnamed heroes surrounding him]
Currently at the Train Station
Extra person 1: Wooo! Get him Kamui!
Extra person 2: I’m sorry sir, a villain appeared out of nowhere and smashed the train. I don’t know when I can get to work…
Extra person 3: They drove him into a wall so he won’t go berserk! So cool!
Extra person 4: Whoa, a “monster form” what a “quirk”!
Extra person 5 to 4: What's going on?
Izuku: -Gasps- What a huge villain! Who’s fighting him!?
Kamui Woods: You’re charged with the unlawful use of a quirk during commuting hours, as well as battery and robbery. Stand down, you big lump of evil!
Izuku: It’s Kamui of the woods! 
Extra: So this is that kid whose star is rising
Star-Head Man: Whoa, you sure love providing expositions, you a hero-otaku, kid!?
Izuku: Oh, hehe, I, uhu.
Kamui Woods: Here’s your punishment…
Star-Head Man: Show us your best move, tree guy!
Izuku: Ah here it comes! His ultimate preemptive strike…
Izuku and Kamui Woods: Lacquer Prison!
[Mount lady flies from the sky]
Mount Lady: Canyon Cannon!
Extras: ?!(meant to be taken by surprise, I think)
Mount Lady: This villain really suits my formal debut! My name is “mount lady”, pleasure to meet you, and leave the rest to me.
Izuku(Narrator)(the chapter shows mount lady waving to the public as she walks by the villain she had just kicked, police offers staring at her in disinterest and annoyance): The great phenomenon was attended by an accompanying increase in crime levels, and while nations dawdled in making any sort of radical change to the law men and women of charge took inspiration from comics and donned the mantle of heroism! They began policing this brave new world, and defending innocents from evil. Suddenly, through the swell of public opinion, heroism gained rights as an official occupation! And due to their various acts of service, they obtained…
Izuku(Narrator)(close up of mount lady’s greedy smile lol): Income from the state and renown from the people!
Izuku(mumbling): Gigantification, huh as a quirk it’s fairly likely to attract attention and popularity, but since it isn’t also somewhat limiting since it’d be easier to inadvertently damage the city while on the job? Of course that’d be the moot if one could control one’s size.
Star-Head Man: You taking notes!? Aiming to be a hero, huh Nice! Good luck kid!
Izuku: ……! Yes! I’ll do my best!
[Izuku in class]
Teacher: C’mon, class! You’re middle school seniors. It's time you started thinking seriously about your futures. I’ll be handing out printouts on your desired life-course!
Teacher(gets up and throws papers in the air): You all want to be heroes, don’t you?
Teacher: Yes yes, your quirks are all wonderful, but it’s against the rules to use them during school!
Katsuki: Sensei, don’t lump me in with everybody else! You can’t compare me to these losers’ weak-ass quirks! Mine’s a whole other ball game!
Classmates: You’ve got a big mouth, Katsuki!
Katsuki: Shut up! Extra’s should act like extra’s!
Classmates: Oh yeah, I’d forgotten… Bakugou’s shooting for UA high, isn’t he?
Classmates(Izuku is shown to be hiding in himself): You mean that national-level academy!? Isn’t the entrance exam's difficulty rating as high as 79!?
Classmates: Yeah, and it’s hyper-competitive to get into, right!?
Classmates: I hear they barely accept anyone!
Katsuki: Ah, the stupid chattering of extras! I aced the mock exam! I’m the only one here with the stuff for UA! 
[Katsuki, now on top of the desk, with hands in the typical cartoon villain style who’s on a monologue rant]
Katsuki: I’ll even surpass All Might and become the best hero out there! Not to mention, I’ll be one of the richest people in the world!
Teacher: Oh. You’re also going for UA aren’t you, Midoriya?
[Classmates all turn to Izuku slowly as they burst into a mocking laughter]
Classmates: Huh? Midoriya!? No way!
Classmates: Good grades alone can’t get you into the hero program!
Izuku: Th-that’s not necessarily true! Sure, there’s no precedent, but…
Katsuki: Come on, Deku!
[Katsuki uses his quirk on Izuku’s desk]
Izuku: Whoa!
Katsuki: Forget the crappy quirks. You’re totally quirkless! And you think you can rub shoulders with me!?
Izuku: Wa… Wait, No, Kacchan! I wasn’t saying I could compete with you! Not at all! I mean it.
Izuku: It’s just… been my dream. Since I was little and well… there’s no harm in trying…
Katsuki: Try!? Try what!? The entrance exam!? You’re taking the exam just to “try”!?
[Katsuki stands over Izuku as the rest of his classmates peer over Bakugou’s shoulders]
Katsuki: What can you even do!?
12:02PM DOWNTOWN
Extra: Thief! Someone stop him!
Villain[thief]: Catch me… if you can!
Extra: Someone’s bound to show up.
Extra: This guy must’ve been inspired by the chaos this morning. Lots of people out there just can’t control their quirks, I guess.
Extra: There’s no end to them
All Might: Yes, there is. Why, you ask? Cuz…
[Villain looks in fear as All Might smiles]
All Might: I am here!
Back to Izuku’s classroom
Classmate: Let’s go to karaoke
Classmate: I can’t today!
Izuku(Thinking): The incident this morning is all over the net! I’d better get home and get my notes in order.
Katsuki: We ain’t done here, Deku.
Izuku: Ah…
[Katsuki holds Izuku’s notebook over his head as he sat]
Extra(that follows Katsuki): What’s that, Katsuki?
Extra(that follows Katsuki): “For My Future”? Seriously!? This guy, Midoriya…
Izuku: C-come on, give it back!
[Katsuki explodes the notebook with a angry look on his face]
Izuku: HUHHH!? Why?
Katsuki: The best heroes out there, well… they showed signs of greatness, even as students. I’ll be the first and only hero from this crappy public middle school! The first to in the honor of becoming a student at UA High. Guess I’m just a perfectionist.
Extra(that follows Katsuki): So vein… 
Katsuki: In other words… don’t you dare get into UA, nerd!
Extra(that follows Katsuki): Jeez… typical. C’mon, say something…
Katsuki: He can’t say anything. He’s so lame. Even as a third year he can’t face reality. 
Katsuki(turns to Izuku): You wanna be a hero so bad? I’ve got a time-saving idea for you. If you think you’ll have a quirk in your next life… go take a swan dive off the roof!
[Izuku turns to Katsuki with anger in his eyes as Katsuki lets off an explosion in his hand]
Katsuki: Yeah? What?
Izuku(Thinking): Idiot! If I really jumped, you’d be charged with bullying me into suicide! Think before you speak!
[Izuku at the koi pond in his school as he goes to get his burnt notebook back]
Izuku: That’s not food, stupid. It’s my notebook… idiot.
Izuku: Idiot.
-Flashback to when Izuku was a little boy-
Child Izuku: Mom! Computer!
Inko: Again? Izuku, I think you’re responsible for tens of thousands of this video’s views! It’s a little too scary for mommy to watch.
Izuku(narrating): It was an old clip… there was this big disaster a while back. But in the aftermath, a certain hero made his debut!
Newscaster who was videotaping All Might’s Debut: Are you seeing this!/ He’s already saved a hundred people! Wow! And it’s only been ten minutes so far! Wow! And he’s smiling!
All Might(in the video): Fear not! Why, you ask? Cus, I AM HERE!
Child Izuku: He’s so cool! When I get my quirk… I wanna be just like him!
[In the background Inko shuts Izuku’s door with a worried look on her face]
[Time skip to later in Izuku’s life as he sits in a doctors office]
Doctor: I’m afraid there’s no hope for him.
[Izuku looks shocked as he hears this]
Inko: No! There must be some mistake? The other kindergartners have all started showing signs… but
Doctor: Pardon my asking, ma’am, but you’re fourth generation, yes? As far as quirks, I mean…
Inko: Yes, of course… I can pull small objects towards me and my husband can breathe fire.
Doctor, pointing to an x-ray of Izuku’s foot: By the age of four, a child should manifest either one of his parents’ quirks or a composite of the two. However, early quirk research discovered one important finding. It has to do with the presence or absence of the extra pinky toe. Humans have no need for parts they don’t use, you see. And those without the joint represent the next stage of evolution. 
Doctor: Izuku here has two joints. It’s becoming quite rare nowadays, but he possesses no quirk at all!
[Izuku at the computer as he watches a old rerun of all might saving people]
Child Izuku: Mom… no matter what kind of trouble you’re in… he’ll save you with a smile.
Child Izuku, pointing to the computer screen: A super-cool hero like that. That’s what I wanna be.
[Inko cries and lands on her knees as she holds Izuku in her arms]
Inko: I’m sorry, Izuku. I’m sorry!
Izuku(narrating): No… No mom… back then, what I wanted you to say was…
flashback ends 
[Izuku is walking under a underpass on his way home]
Izuku(thinking): that was when I decided. I decided not to care what anyone says! To keep my chin up and keep moving forward!
[A villain appears behind Izuku with a sinister look]
Villain: A medium-sized body… to hide in…
Izuku(thinking): a villain!?
Villain: Don’t worry. I’m just hijacking your body. Calm down. It’ll only hurt for 45 seconds… then it’ll all be over.
Villain: I’m saved. You’re a real hero. I never thought he’d show up in this town.
Izuku: MMF!!
Villain: No point in trying that! I’m fluid, ou see!
Izuku(thinking): I can’t breathe! My body… getting weak… I’m dying! I’m going to die! Someone, help! I’m dying! No…
All Might: Fear not, kid! I am here! Texas…
[All Might gears up for a punch]
All Might: Shock… wave!
Izuku: Oh… huh!? All… M…ight…
All Might, trying to wake up a passed out Izuku: Hey, hey! Hey, uh, thank goodness!
Izuku: Whaaa!!!
All Might: You’re okay! Excellent! Apologies for getting you caught up in my villain hunt. Mistakes like that aren’t my style, but… this is a strange land to me, and besides I’m off camera!
All Might: But my success here is all thanks to you! I’ve contained the villain!
Izuku(thinking): All Might! He’s here… He’s really here! Up close, I can really see… He’s drawn in a totally different style!
Izuku, looking around his body: Oh! A-an autograph! Where’s… Ah. My notebook… He already did it!?
Izuku, bowing at a fast rate: Wow! Thank you so much! What a treasure! It’ll be my family heirloom!
All Might: Now I must bring this fellow to the authorities!You can catch me again on the TV!
Izuku: Um! Wait… is that it? I…
All Might: A pro battles not only enemies, but also time.
Izuku(thinking): Hold on! I still… I need to ask you…
All Might: Until next time!
[All Might blasts off into the sky]
All Might: Thanks for your support!
[All Might looks down to find Izuku holding onto his leg]
All Might: Hey, now! Release me! Such enthusiasm is a bit much!
Izuku: If I… let go now… I’ll… I’ll die!
All Might: True enough!
Izuku: I… Need to ask you… So many things… Gah! You…
All Might: Okay, okay. Just do me a favor and close your eyes and mouth!
[All Might coughs into his hand mid air as blood trickles from his mouth.]
All Might: Damn.
[The scene changes to the villains POV from the bottle]
Villain(thinking): damn, that bastard. If not for him, I could’ve…
[Bakugou kicks a can as his “extras” follow behind him]
Extra one: Haven’t you know him sine you were kids.
Extra Two: Yeah, you went too far today.
Katsuki: It’s his fault for messing with me. Seeing him so full of stupid dreams like when we were kids…
[Katsuki explodes the bottle the villain was in]
Katsuki: Just pisses me off.
[Katsuki turns to his “extras”]
Katsuki: Thought I told you to stop smoking! Get caught, and it’ll go on my record too!
Extra One: H-Hey
[Villain behind Bakugou appears to swallow him whole]
Villain: A body… with a good quirk.
[Back to the rooftop with All Might and Midoriya Izuku]
Izuku: Scary.
All Might: Of all the…!!
All Might: Hopefully the people downstairs will help us get down. I’ve no time though! Truly!
Izuku: Wait! Um…
All Might: No! I will not wait.
Izuku: Even without a quirk… can I still be a hero!?
[Izuku’s eyes are shut as he asks this question]
Izuku: Can someone without a quirk… become a hero like you?
All Might: Quirks are…
[All Might begins to smoke as he speaks and starts to panic]
All Might(thinking): Oh no… damn it all.
Izuku: Because I don’t have a quirk, I… well, maybe that’s not the only reason. But I’ve always been picked on… That’s why… maybe that’s why… I think that saving people is just about the coolest thing someone can do.
Izuku: The way you save people with that fearless smile! I want to be the strongest hero, just like y-Whaaat!?
[Where a buff All Might once stood is replaced with a skinny man, Small Might]
Small Might: …
Izuku: You’re all shriveled up! Huh!? Were you… huh!? A fake!? An impostor!? So thin!!
Small Might: I am All Might!
[Blood pours from his mouth as he speaks]
Izuku: Whoa! No way!
Small Might: You know how people hold in their gut at the pool? It’s like that.
Izuku: no way!
Small Might: A fearless smile, huh?
[Small Might sits down]
Small Might: You’ve seen the real me, kid. But don’t write about it on the internet, okay?
[Small Might pulls up his shirt to show off a gnarly wound]
Small Might: Five years ago… an enemy did this to me. My respiratory system was nearly destroyed, and my stomach was removed. I’ve wasted away because of the after-effects of those surgeries. I can only do my hero work for about three hours a day now.
Izuku: Five years ago…? Was that when you fought Toxic Chainsaw?
Small Might: That lowlife? He could never do this to me!
Small Might: This was never made public. That is, I asked that it not be made public.
Small Might: A symbol of peace who saves people with a smile must never be daunted by evil.  The reason I smile is to stave off the overwhelming pressure and fear I feel. A pro should always be ready to risk his life. Without power, can one become a hero? No, I should think not. 
Izuku: Ah.
[Small Might now rises from his dramatic sitting act] 
Small Might: If you desire to help people, becoming a police officer is always an option. Those villain custody officers are often mocked but… that too is admirable work! 
[Small Might now leaving through the door]
Small Might: It’s not wrong to dream. However, you need to be realistic, kid.
[Small might going down the stairs alone as he checks his pockets]
Small Might(thinking): have to get this guy to…
[Small Might looks out the window to see an explosion]
Small Might: Oh no.
At the center of the town
[Katsuki, engulfed by the villain as civilians and heroes surround the area.]
Katsuki & villain: Aaargh!
Mount Lady: A single-lane street? I can’t get there!
Kamui Woods: Explosive fires are my weakness! Someone else has to take this one!
Backdrift: Thanks, but I’ve got my hands full too! Where are the fire-fighters? Hows it looking over there!?
Death Arms: He’s too slippery to get hold of. But his hostage with the explosive quirk is resisting. It’s like a minefield out here, but we can’t do anything against him!
Civilian: Wow! Some sort of hardcore villain!?
Civilian: Go get him, heroes!
[Katsuki & villain getting attacked by unnamed hero]
Katsuki & villain: Argh!
Death Arms: No good! There’s no one here who can stop him!
Unnamed hero: Just gotta wait for someone with the right quirk to show up!
Backdrift: Until then, keep the damage to a minimum. Someone’ll come!
Unnamed Hero: We need that kid to hold on just a bit longer!
Death arms(thinking): shoot! If only I had the power to blow him away!
[civillins all look concerned as small Might runs into the crowd huffing]
[Small Might thinks back to Izuku holding his leg as he stares at the scene]
Small Might(thinking): That’s when it happened! I lost track of time dealing with that fan led to this! Pathetic.
[Small Might holds his wounded side as he looks at the scene with helplessness]
Small Might: Pathetic. 
[Izuku is walking down the street as he sighs at his burnt notebook]
Izuku(thinking on All Might's words): You need to be realistic.
Izuku(thinking on Katsuki's words): Even as a third-year, he still can’t face reality.
Izuku(thinking on his teacher's words): It’s time to start thinking seriously about your futures!
Izuku(thinking): Even… the best of the best said it. Don’t cry! You knew already, right!? This is reality… it’s because I knew… that I tried so damned hard… So hard not to see. To ignore reality. Yeah.
[Izuku looks at the scene where a “villain fight” is going on.]
Izuku(thinking): hey, that explosion…?
Izuku(thinking): I’m so used to gawking. Just stop it. I’ll only make myself feel like a loser.
[Izuku looks at the scene and see’s the villain that attacked him.]
Izuku(thinking): Is that him!? How!? All Might let him go!? Did he drop him!? That means.
Izuku: This is my fault!
Civilian: Why’re the heroes just standing there?
Civilian: Seems the villain’s grabbed a middle schooler.
Civilian: Hey, that villain… isn’t it the one All Might was chasing?
Civilian: All Might!? No way! He’s really here?
Izuku(thinking): It’s my fault All Might can’t do anything. This guy can’t be caught. We have to wait for someone with the right quirk to show up!
Izuku(thinking): hang in there… I’m sorry! I’m so sorry! Someone will come to save you soon… A hero’s bound to come..
[Izuku see’s Katsuki trapped in the villain’s slime as he runs into the battle to help him]
[All heroes on the scene look shocked to see him do so]
Death Arms: Get back here, you fool! Stop!
Villain(thinking): it's that kid.
Katsuki: Deku?
Izuku(thinking): Why am I running? What am I doing? Why?
Villain: You’re dead.
Izuku(thinking): What do I do? What do I do? At a time like this?
[Panel shows page 25 of izuku’s note book it reads as followed: “Kamui Woods” - Preemptive Binding Lacuered Chain Cell… When comforted by an enemy. His ams(vines) stretch out and bind the enemy like chains. Pros -> damage is… Cons -> Weak against multiple enemies or when surrounded. Circled in the corner it reads “Always best to keep damage to a minimum!”]
[Izuku throws his backpack at the villain where it hits the villain in the eyes]
Villain: Grr.
Izuku: Kacchan!
Katsuki: You! Why!?
Izuku: My legs just started moving! Why? I dunno!
Izuku(Narrating): There were any number of reasons. But at that moment…
Izuku(thinking on everything people have said to him and he himself has said): There’s no hope. 
Izuku(thinking on everything people have said to him and he himself has said): Thanks! I’ll try!
Izuku(thinking on everything people have said to him and he himself has said): It’s my fault.
Izuku(thinking on everything people have said to him and he himself has said): You think you can rub shoulders with me!?
Izuku(thinking on everything people have said to him and he himself has said): Kacchan
Izuku(thinking on everything people have said to him and he himself has said): No harm in trying.
Izuku(thinking on everything people have said to him and he himself has said): My dream.
Izuku(thinking on everything people have said to him and he himself has said): A super cool hero.
Izuku(thinking on everything people have said to him and he himself has said): You need to be realistic.
Izuku(thinking on everything people have said to him and he himself has said): saving people with a smile.
Izuku as he smiles at Katsuki: You… You looked like you needed saving.
[Izuku tarts to claw at the slime with a smile on his face]
Katsuki, as he’s suffocating: Stop… it!
All Might(thinking): Pathetic… Pathetic!
Villain: Just a bit longer. So stop getting in my way!
Death Arms: Does he have a death wish!? He’ll die for nothing!
[All Might rushes in the battle as he puts his hand on izuku’s arm]
All Might: The lesson I left you with… I should practice what I preach! A pro should always be ready to risk his life!
[All Might coughs up blood as he yells]
All Might: Detroit Smash!
[The punch echoes across the city as it starts to rain.]
Civilians: Rain?
Civilians: No way. The air pressure… that rising air current…
All Might: Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey.
Civilians: He changed the weather with a single punch!
Civilians: Amazing. That’s All Might!
Izuku(Narrating): Afterwards, the heroes collected the villain’s scattered body. Seems like the police managed to get him into custody. The heroes were really mad at me.
Death arms: There was absolutely no need for you to put yourself in danger!
Izuku(Narrating): Kacchan, on the other hand, got all the praise.
Unnamed hero: You were real tough out there! And that quirk! Consider becoming my sidekick once you go pro!
[Izuku starts to walk home as he laments on his day.]
Izuku(thinking): I wanted to apologize to All Might, but… I guess I’ll just leave a message n his website when I get home.
Katsuki: Hey, Deku!
Katsuki, looking down as he shakes: I… 
Katsuki, glaring at Izuku: I never asked you to save me! S if you could! Well?! I could’ve beaten him myself. How dare a quirkless failure like you pity me Trying to win me over!? Don’t you dare mock me! 
Katsuki, turning around and walking away: Stupid nerd!
Izuku(thinking): What a tough guy!
Izuku(Narrating): He’s right though. I couldn’t do anything. I couldn’t change anything. But still… I’m glad. Now I can finally focus on a more realistic future…
All Might, running from a corner: I am here!
Izuku: Huh!?
Izuku: All Might!? Why are you here? You were surrounded by reporters!
All Might: Shaking them off is nothing to me! After all, I’m All Mi-
[Smoke appears as All Might turns into his small form]
Small Might: Koff!
Small Might: Kid. I’ve come to thank you and revisit what I said earlier… I also have a proposal.
Izuku: Huh?
Small Might: Without you… If I hadn’t heard your story… I’d been nothing but fake muscles and insincerity! So thank you!
Izuku: Fake muscles?
Izuku: That… No. I mean, it was all my fault from the start! I got in your way… even though I’m quirkless, I dared to ask if…
Small Might: Exactly!
Small Might: Of all the people at the scene… it was only you, timid and quirkless, who acted! You surprised me to action!
Small Might: Most of the top heroes show signs of greatness even as children… Many of them claim that their bodies simply moved before they could ever think!
[Izuku starts to shake and sob as he holds his chest]
Izuku(Thinking): For some reason… I remember what my mom said. “I’m sorry, Izuku. I’m sorry!”
Small Might: That’s what happened to you back there, yes!?
Izuku: Yes!
Izuku(thinking): No, mom… back then, what I wanted you to say was…
Small Might: You can be a hero!
[Izuku breaks down onto his knees as he sobs before Small Might]
Izuku(Narrating): Fantasy… became reality. I forgot to mention this, but… this is the story of how I became a great hero.

Do I Need a Satellite Communication Device for Hiking?
There are several important reasons why it is a good idea to carry a satellite communication device while hiking or backpacking. First, a device like this can be extremely helpful in the event that you get lost while out on the trail. It can also be useful in the case of a medical emergency, allowing you to call for help and get the assistance you need. 
Additionally, a communication device can be a great way to stay in touch with family and loved ones, especially if you are planning to be out on the trail for an extended period. Finally, if you have work or other responsibilities that you need to stay connected to, a satellite communication device can allow you to do so even when you are out in the wilderness.
 Here are the top four reasons to carry a communications device when hiking.
Getting lost
Medical emergencies
Contacting family
Work requirements  
REASONS TO CARRY A SATELLITE HIKING COMMUNICATION DEVICE
Getting Lost
It is not uncommon for hikers to become lost, despite the availability of trail mapping software and other electronic devices. These tools can be unreliable due to factors such as device failure, battery death, or lack of cell service. In these situations, it is important to have a backup plan and be prepared to rely on a paper map or other navigation techniques to find your way. It is also essential to be proactive in preventing getting lost by telling someone your hike route and expected return time, and by carrying a map and compass.
It is easy to become disoriented and take a wrong turn while hiking, leading to the possibility of getting lost. The Geez experienced this firsthand while hiking in the Grand Canyon. They followed what they thought was the correct trail, but it turned out to be a dead-end and they had to backtrack a half-mile.
Even with the use of GPS mapping software and a paper map, it is still possible to take the wrong trail. This highlights the importance of being prepared for the possibility of getting lost and having a backup plan in place.
Tumblr media
Medical Emergencies
Hiking can involve a range of potential injuries and ailments, such as twisted ankles, cuts, bruises, mosquito bites, and poison oak or poison ivy rashes. It is also important to be aware of the potential dangers that may be present on a hike, such as encountering wild animals, snakes, fast-moving streams, loose boulders, and cliffs. Hikers need to be prepared and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety while on the trails.
While hiking, it is important to be prepared for the potential for injuries and medical emergencies. These can range from minor issues such as cuts and bruises to more serious conditions like broken bones, dehydration, hypothermia, heart attacks, COPD, and asthma. It is especially important for senior hikers to be aware of these risks and to have a plan in place for dealing with medical emergencies. Minor problems can often be addressed immediately, but more serious issues may require medical intervention.
It is important to be prepared and take necessary precautions to ensure the safety of all hikers on the trails. In the event of a medical emergency, while hiking, it is important to have a reliable means of communication to seek help. 
Tumblr media
A cell phone may not work if you are out of the range of a cell tower, so it is advisable to have a device that can connect to satellite signals. This can be a crucial resource for contacting medical assistance or alerting others in case of an emergency.
THREE TYPES OF SATELLITE COMMUNICATION DEVICES
For instance, three types connect to overhead satellites.
There are several options available for hikers to communicate in case of an emergency. One option is a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB), such as the ACR ResQLink, which sends out an emergency SOS beacon that is monitored worldwide and can result in emergency personnel being dispatched to your location. However, a PLB does not have the capability for two-way communication.
Another option is a satellite messenger, such as the Garmin InReach Mini, which allows you to send emails or SMS text messages to others and also receive messages in return. This can be helpful in an emergency as it allows for two-way communication with medical personnel or others and allows you to provide important information about your situation and receive suggestions for what to do until help arrives. 
Additionally, an emergency SOS beacon sent via a satellite messenger can be canceled if necessary.
A satellite phone is a more comprehensive communication device that allows you to place direct calls worldwide, similar to a cell phone. This can be particularly useful in an emergency as it allows for immediate and direct communication with medical personnel or others and provides the ability to quickly convey important information about the situation.
It is important to be aware that devices that rely on satellite communication, such as satellite phones and satellite messengers, often come with associated costs. For example, satellite phone fees can be expensive and may require you to purchase minutes from the service provider in advance. 
These minutes may expire if not used within a certain timeframe. However, in an emergency, the cost may be worth it for the peace of mind and ability to quickly and directly communicate with medical personnel or others. 
It is always a good idea to be prepared and have a plan in place for dealing with emergencies while hiking, such as carrying a satellite phone or satellite messenger. This can be especially important for those who engage in backcountry adventures, where access to medical assistance may be more limited.
Tumblr media
Contacting Family
It is understandable that family and friends, especially a significant other, may worry about your safety while hiking, especially if you are older or have had previous medical emergencies while on the trails. A satellite messenger device can be a useful tool for maintaining contact with loved ones and providing reassurance that you are safe. 
This can be especially helpful for those who are no longer able to hike alone and may have a spouse or partner who is particularly concerned about their well-being. It is always a good idea to have a reliable means of communication with you while on a hike, whether it is a satellite phone or satellite messenger, and to share your plans with others in case of an emergency.
Work Requirements
Many hikers and backpackers enjoy the opportunity to disconnect from their everyday lives and the demands of work or other responsibilities while enjoying the peace and solitude of the outdoors. However, for some individuals, it may be necessary to maintain some level of connectivity in order to be available for work or other responsibilities. 
For example, if you are a business owner, it may be important to be able to receive and respond to emails while on a hike to manage your business effectively. In this case, a satellite communication device that allows for email communication can be a valuable tool. Similarly, if you are still working and your employer requires you to be available for communication, a satellite phone or satellite messenger may be necessary to ensure that you can be reached while on the trails.
HOW DO HIKING SATELLITE COMMUNICATION DEVICES CONNECT WITH THE INTERNET AND PHONE SYSTEMS
Cell Tower
COPAS-SARSAT
Inmarsat
Iridium
Globalstar
Thuraya
How Do Satellites Work
There are two main types of networks that can provide connectivity for telephone and internet communications: cellular and satellite. The first step in choosing a satellite communications device for hiking is deciding which type of connection is best for your needs.
Cellular networks are typically more widely available and offer faster data speeds than satellite networks, but they require a physical connection to a cell tower to work. This means that they may not be reliable in areas where cell towers are not present, such as in remote or rural areas.

GYG and CYON  Reading Challenge- October 2022
Day 1: GYG:All Day Nightmare-. It’s good, all three of the storylines were interesting, and the werewolf one being the best in my view. I loved the premise with you and another kid waking up with no memories in a creepy house. It did have some errors and a few endings are pretty lacklustre. Rating-3/5
Day 2: GYG:Alone in Snakebite Canyon- It’s a good fun adventure story. I preferred the snake eyes storyline to the map storyline. The animal transformations in the former were interesting and used quite well. Rating-3/5
Day 3: CYON:Welcome to Horror Hospital- Had a few creepy moments and endings but nothing much else.  The concept had potential but wasn’t really used very well. Rating- 2.5/5
Day 4: CYON:The Toy Shop of Terror-  This one is really entertaining, and unique with it being set about Christmas. You definitely feel the sense that your character is in danger with some very dark endings. (I can’t tell if dying by getting your organs pummeled and being suffocated by evil teddy bears is horrifying, pathetic or just really weird.) Also had elves with machine guns. Rating 4/5
Day 5: GYG:Under the Magician’s Spell It’s pretty solid and challenging overall with only two good endings. Does have some annoying gimmicks with some choices being factors the reader can’t control such as the day of the week or time. Rating 3/5
Day 6: GYG:Trapped in Bat Wing Hall- Really memorable and entertaining book. Both storylines were fun to read with some funny moments. The only downside is that there are some parts that feel like filler. Rating 4/5
Day 7: CYON-Bugged Out!- A perfectly serviceable book with a good sense of tension with your character basically being helplessly stuck as a fly. A bit slow to get going but otherwise it’s enjoyable Rating: 3/5
Day 8: GYG: Shop Until You Drop… Dead!- This one is pretty innovative with a non-linear storyline B and requires finding multiple items in order to succeed. It gives the book a very different feel from the other books in the GYG series. The other storylines were also fun but not nearly as good. It did feel rather random at times.  Rating: 4/5
Day 9: GYG: Checkout Time at the Dead-End Hotel– Another one I consider very good. It has a creepy atmosphere and some spooky endings. It only has one storyline but it’s written well and has some cool puzzles as well. It does have the dumbest partner character in GYG. Rating: 3.5/5
Day 10: GYG: Lost in Stinkeye Swamp- An enjoyable read with a cool plot twist. I actually find the main good ending in Storyline B kind of sweet. Rating: 3/5
Day 11: CYON: Biting For Blood- It’s pretty generic and not very interesting. It was weird how the story just seems to stop in a lot of endings. However, it’s somewhat saved by some decent writing and spooky moments  Rating: 2.5/5
Day 12: GYG: Scream of the Evil Genie- This book is a fun ride with tons of different choices and paths. On the downside, the scares are pretty non-existent with the expectation of one bad ending. Rating: 3/5
Day 13: GYG: Into The Twister of Terror- This book was just a slog to get through. Nothing makes any sense in this book and it never builds up to anything. It's just a boring book with nothing to offer. Rating: 1/5
Day 14: CYON: Castle of Darkness: A pretty meh read overall. It takes a long time for the adventure to actually start and you don’t get to make many choices in this book. On the plus side, the haunted castle stuff is pretty neat and some of the endings are fun. Rating: 2/5 
Day 15: GYG: Toy Terror: Batteries Included: This book was really dull with little humour or scares. The storylines were at least coherent and I liked the pig toy that helps you out in Storyline A. Rating: 2/5
Day 16: GYG: Zombie School: This one was really tense with your character being alone and defenceless in this evil school. This one probably has the most brutal bad endings in all of GYG. The plot is well-written and interesting  On the downside, there are way too many choices involving factors the reader can’t control such as what day of the week it is. Rating: 3.5/5 
Day 17: GYG: The Werewolf of Twisted Tree Lodge: This one was quite satisfying to read with a nice sense of pacing.  Some of the endings are great with my favourite being the one where you accidentally delete the whole story. Rating: 3/5
Day 18: GYG: The Creepy Creations of Professor Shock: Another pretty meh read. It’s not very interesting and some of the endings make no sense. The mirror world had some cool ideas and moments. Rating: 2.5/5
Day 19: GYG: You’re Plant Food: A good book with a non-linear storyline like Shop Until You Drop… Dead! Though it’s not as well throught out as that book. I liked the partner character in this book, Kerry. Unlike most partners in the other books, she always has the reader’s back. Some of the choices were good too. On the downside, I didn't find the setting that interesting. Rating: ⅗
Day 20: CYON: The Evil Penpal: It’s an okay book with some cool moments. Billy is a fun villain and the book is fairly humorous. Rating: 2.5/5
Day 21: CYON: Blood Island: It’s an engaging book with some good adventure and horror. Some of the endings and illustrations are pretty violent and bloody. On the downside, I don’t think the stuff with natives was handled very well. Rating: 3/5
Day 22: GYG: Escape from the Carnival of Horrors: It’s a decent book with a good spooky setting of an evil Carnival. However, it felt very clattered and rushed in its writing. Does have some really funny lines through.  Rating: 3/5
Day 23: GYG: Escape from Camp Run-For-Your-Life: This book was atmospheric and a pleasant read. The main storylines were interesting to read through and most of the endings were pretty satisfying. I didn’t like how the side story didn’t have any good endings, it kind of felt like a waste of time going through it. Rating: 3/5
Day 24: CYON: Eighth Grade Witch: This book has some good scares but the story was pretty confusing. It was interesting to go through and there were plenty of creepy endings with well-drawn illustrations. Shout out to the ending where spiders crawl out of every orifice of some poor guy’s face. Rating: 3/5
Day 25: GYG: It Came from the Internet: It’s a compelling read with some cool puzzles. A lot of the bad endings are disturbing with the reader’s character basically becoming an empty shell. I liked the virtual reality internet journey and Spyder is a cool monster villain. Rating: 3.5/5
Day 26: GYG: Beware of the Purple Peanut Butter: It’s an okay read with pretty standard storylines. Nothing really stands out as bad or good in this one. Rating: 2.5/5
Day 27: GYG: Ship of Ghouls: This book was strange but was fun to read through. The storylines were entertaining, I liked the tension of trying to survive while stuck on a lifeboat in Storyline B.  Rating: 3/5
Day 28: GYG: Welcome to the Wicked Museum: A pretty tense book with some good imagery. The setting is good and there’s always a sense of danger with some pretty dark bad endings. Rating: 3/5
Day 29: GYG: Little Comic Shop of Horrors: An immersive book with a fun comic book setting. There are some pretty funny moments and both storylines were fun to go through. Rating: 3.5/5
Day 30: GYG: Please Don't Feed the Vampire!: A decent book with a few funny moments. The B storyline felt too short and the writing could have been better. Rating: 2.5/5
Day 31: CYON: Attack of the Living Mask:  This book was a fun and spooky adventure. There are a good amount of choices and it has a fun Halloween atmosphere. Rating: 3/5

Important Things To Carry While Camping
Satellite Phone
If you’re an adventurer who loves to discover and find out new terrain in faraway areas, you may surely want to carry a satellite phone. If you decide upon trails that take you better and farther, then you may recognize the blessings of satellite phones. 
How many times have you heard that a hiker got lost? You might think that with trail map software, getting lost while hiking would be a thing of the past. But that's no longer the case. Electronic devices break down every now and then. The batteries die. The cell phone provider is unavailable. Without a spare paper map, you can only rely on the trail.
One wrong turn in the Grand Canyon can get you misplaced so a Satellite phone comes in super handy. It can also help a backpacker to call for emergency services when needed as the regular phone’s network stops working in untapped regions. 
First Aid Kit
The first item on our list of important things to carry while camping in America is the humble first aid kit. A first aid kit is one of those things one will never hope to use, but should always have on hand in case an emergency arises on the adventures.
First aid kits for camping come in many different forms, so it's up to you to decide what to bring on your next trip. At the very least, you should have supplies for cuts, scrapes, bruises, insect bites, burns, allergic reactions, and sports injuries (such as sprains and strains).
Sun Protection
Summer camps in the USA can be very harsh on your skin, so it becomes extremely essential for a camper to carry a high SPF Sun Protection. Imagine camping under the California sun and returning back with damaged skin. 
Many campers use hats, sun gloves & shirts to protect themselves. But, sunscreen definitely qualifies as one of the important things to carry while camping in America.
Tent & Sleeping Gear
A good night's sleep starts with a cushy sleep system. This consists of sleep-precise clothing, a heated and relaxed sleeping bag, and a sleeping pad that insulates you from the cold and difficult ground. 
Additionally one would want to discover a manner to shield themselves from the factors at the same time as they sleep. Most campers have a tent with them, however, you could additionally choose one of the specific kinds of shelters, consisting of bivy sacks and tarps. 
If you're dozing in an RV or caravan in campsites like the Crater Lake National Park, Oregon, you have already got safety from the factors. But all people else need to additionally recollect what form of shelter they need to apply whilst tenting earlier than their camping trip. At the very least, your shelter needs to shield you from precipitation, wind and bugs, however, it looks as if an element is as much as you.

North America Fuel Cell Market Analysis and Opportunity Assessment
Fuel cells are rapidly being deployed as a cleaner and more efficient energy source worldwide. In particular, the North America fuel cell market is set to grow at a rapid pace over the years, as a result of the escalating investment in renewable energy.
For instance, in July 2021, the U.S. Senate passed a $550 billion clean energy investment bill to dramatically improve the clean energy landscape in the country, with $73 billion allocated for clean energy generation. This factor could encourage consumers to rely on fuel cells to generate clean electricity and consequently bolster the North America fuel cell market expansion in years to come.
Considering their myriad usage benefits, fuel cells are gaining remarkable traction across multiple sectors, including industrial, residential, commercial, and energy storage for grids.
Request for a sample copy of this research report @ https://www.gminsights.com/request-sample/detail/5225
Introduction of key requirements to curb emissions from the automobile sector
Apart from the energy sector, GHG emission regulations have also been introduced in the automobile industry in recent years. In December 2021, the Environment Protection Agency finalized federal GHG emissions standards for passenger vehicles as well as light trucks for 2023 through 2026.
These final standards leverage the advancements in clean car tech to unlock over $190 billion in net benefits to Americans, such as climate pollution reduction. Factors such as these could influence consumers to shift their focus to low-emission vehicles like fuel cell electric vehicles in the region.
Increasing need to maintain vehicular traffic in major intersections in California
Power shutoff events pose a major hindrance to the maintenance of vehicular traffic in the U.S. states like California. To address challenges such as these, the city of Santa Clarita, for example, took a significant step forward in ensuring public safety during power outages. This involved the installation of a hydrogen fuel cell-based backup power system across the intersection of Whites Canyon Road and Soledad Canyon Road in Canyon Country.
This system was installed to keep traffic signals in normal operation for above 50 hours following electricity disruption, longer than the 8 hours afforded by traditional battery-powered backup systems.

Recovery of Canada’s construction sector from COVID-19
Due to the strong near-term demand and the sustained activity, the construction and maintenance industry revived strongly from COVID-19 in Canada. According to BuildForce Canada’s estimates, in 2021, the residential construction activities in the country registered a significant increase, with housing starts rising by over 21% as compared to 2020 levels, proliferating the use of construction machinery.
Unlike equipment based on conventional diesel engines, hydrogen fuel cell-based construction equipment adopts clean and zero-emission electricity. The commendable recovery of the regional construction activity could thus bolster North America fuel cell market share in construction applications.
North America Fuel Cell Market growth will be positively affected by the notable presence of reputed organizations, such as Ballard Power Systems, Cummins Inc, NUVERA FUEL CELLS, PLUG POWER Inc, Bloom Energy, Siemens Energy, SFC Energy AG, Doosan Fuel Cell, TOSHIBA CORPORATION, Altergy, Aris Renewable Energy, Fuji Electric, AFC Energy, Fuel Cell Energy, poscoenergy, and GenCell Ltd., among others.

Never Changing Healing Will Eventually Destroy You
The Mebak Massage Gun is an modern device that combines therapeutic massage with the convenience of being portable and battery-powered. Medical analysis signifies that massage therapy can help increase immune system strength by rising the exercise degree of the body’s pure “killer T cells,” which battle off viruses. Lest you think I'm an amateur, I have tons of of dollars' worth of shoulder massagers, massage balls, freeze creams and heat wraps. It is the visitors who are just a little scared who also appear to be those who have the most enjoyable! He says: 'We try to collect as many visitors as doable to join us as we talk concerning the history and evolution of the Blue Lagoon, our sustainability efforts and the geography of Iceland, and even a bit of local folklore. Shedding gentle on the constructing's development, he says: 'It has been estimated that round 10,000 individuals labored on the positioning and although it was a time when laborious hats have been worn, it was not a time where harnesses had been used. It clearly labored as Nadal earned his first break of the match in Medevedev's subsequent service sport -- and he was really made to earn it. Logan, who has been working on the park for a yr, says: 'Cellphone service will be spotty, and Wi-Fi will be exhausting to come by, although we're at all times engaged on it.

I'm still shocked how far individuals travel to come back to see Niagara Falls as well as to go down the zipline,' says Emma Kande, the Guest Service Supervisor at the WildPlay 'Zipline to the Falls' attraction. You might assume that a tour group might photograph or film something they see, but sometimes the sets that they get to see are protected by copyright, or we need to respect that performers are rehearsing and doing their job,' says Darryl, adding: 'The Opera House is a living and breathing constructing, and the fantastic thing about going on a tour is that you really never know what you are in for. In our objective evaluation, we discover that CLPCNet considerably improves the F1 and RMS of pitch-shifting (see Tables 1 and 3) in comparison with the original LPCNet. The NPS places a lot of effort into protecting non-native species out of the park. He says: 'It's way more various than folks suppose, and we get lots of different weather, particularly as you go down into the canyon. He says: 'Pretty much before each tour, I still get nervous about assembly full strangers. Regular stretching keeps muscles lengthy, lean, and flexible, and which means exertion "will not put too much power on the muscle itself," says Nolan.
Part of my job as a Greeter is to go into the Blue Lagoon, which is definitely probably the most stress-free and favourite a part of my day,' says Snorri. It does have healing powers,' says Snorri. In case you fancy getting on bended knee during your visit, Snorri and his workforce will help to plan the special moment. Subject’s hip will probably be on ground or very near the bottom (e.g., garland pose). Using 출장홈타이 and the ball of the foot behind you as leverage, push yourself off the bottom and stretch deep. Avoid ballistic stretches. Ballistic stretching uses the pressure of the body in movement to push muscles past the conventional range of motion - for example, bouncing down repeatedly to contact one’s toes. As there aren't any normal stresses on the top and bottom of the skinny shell, the corresponding normal stresses and their derivatives evaluated on the mid-floor might be small.
He says comfy footwear will come in useful for all the climbing that is in store. Firstly of every tour, there have been people who cry when they study that Jorn Utzon never (physically) came again to the building,' says Darryl Cooper, who has been guiding visitors around the Australian attraction for the previous 22 years. But there are positives to the distant way of life - the park's workers have formed a tight-knit group, says Logan, who notes that he was shocked by how many individuals reside within the 'Grand Canyon Village' on the South Rim in Coconino County, Arizona. Persons are there living, raising their youngsters and households. During her Q&A Instagram session on June 2, Olivia revealed she identifies as pansexual and stated she is attracted to folks based mostly on their personality. Her view: 'I believed it was like, not a big deal, which it shouldn't be,' Olivia informed her 183,000 fanbase.

How to Choose Satellite Phone Suppliers
Tumblr media
While the overall market for satellite phones continues to grow, the prices of some models have fallen. Falling input prices and a recovering economy have combined to push down prices of satellite phones. Nevertheless, IBISWorld predicts that prices will rise more slowly during the next three years. The demand for satellite phones will continue to increase, but at a slower pace than last year. Here are some of the factors affecting the satellite phone price uae :
People who use satellite phones are usually in remote areas where cell service is not available. Their cost has decreased substantially over the past decade, and their use is mainly associated with business, government, maritime, and emergency services. Today, these phones come with faxing capabilities and solar panels for remote battery recharging. Satellite phones are a realistic, price-conscious solution to the problems of poor coverage. They are an excellent choice for outdoor users who travel a lot.
Depending on where you are, Iridium may not be the best choice for you. This network works better in mountain ranges and canyons, but is less reliable in mountainous areas. Despite this, Iridium is the only network that works at the poles. Iridium phones allow tracking, panic alerts, and GPS coordinates. Retracted antennas will work, but will result in degraded coverage. You may need a different satellite phone if you are in the middle of the oceans.
If you live in an area with a poor network or need a high-speed signal, you can still use a satellite phone for emergencies. Some satellite phone suppliers also offer dual-mode functionality, which allows you to make calls in both CDMA and GSM modes. The ability to use both GSM and CDMA phones simultaneously is a huge benefit. The best way to choose a satellite phone for your needs is to consider what is available.
If you plan to use your satellite phone frequently, you may want to buy one. However, if you only need the phone once, renting it is a much better option. Most satellite phone providers offer plans that are monthly or annual, which will save you money in the long run. If you only plan to use it sporadically, it may be worth your while to pay a little extra for the flexibility. So if you are traveling frequently and don't want to buy, you can always rent one. You can get the best satellite phone suppliers here.
If you want to use your satellite phone for emergencies, you should choose a service with high reliability. Inmarsat, for example, offers a service that covers 80% of the globe. However, this isn't ideal for overlanding in North America or rugged terrain. Instead, you should consider Globalstar satellite phone for your communications needs. Compared to Inmarsat, Globalstar has cheaper monthly plans and prepaid options.
While there are plenty of advantages of using a satellite phone, there are also some downsides. In some countries, satellite phones are illegal or restricted. The price of a satellite phone may be higher than a cellular phone. In such cases, satellite phone suppliers have to charge higher prices to pay for their network and develop equipment. In order to avoid these drawbacks, choosing a satellite phone provider with Direct Inward Dial capability is a good choice. Get a general overview of the topic here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_phone.

April 20 -21
 We broke camp about 10 o’clock on the 20th and headed toward Phoenix on US 77 which would take us to Apache junction. From there we were going to drive on historic route 88 through Tortilla Flat and Superstition Mountain. However, a forest fire had closed Arizona 88 so we had to backtrack and find a way to get to the town of Payson on Arizona 87. It was a long and boring drive but the scenery was beautiful. We decided to spend the night in Payson and found a neat campground just outside of town. In the morning we got up and headed out toward Sedona on another historic route 89A. It was another beautiful, “boring” ride until we got to Sedona and we hit “tourist city”. It took 30 minutes to get through the “small” town of Sedona to get to the scenic historic route 89 A which is included in the National Geographic great scenic highways and byways. It was well worth the trip. Along the way we went by the red mountain secret wilderness area. You can see below they beautiful pictures we took driving there. On the way we went to see Montezuma’s Cliff dwellings National monument. It was a very interesting site which had Cliff dwellings housed around 40 different families who lived there for several 100 years before they abruptly left in the 1300’s to go work where there was a better place to live. Just up the road from there is Montezuma’s well. Is a natural spring fed “lake” that holds 15,000,000 gallons of water and is replenished everyday by 1.5 million gallons. It’s called something like a cracked Cup so the water leaks out in one location and forms a creek/small river that flows to the town. It’s considered a sacred place by the Native Americans; however, no fish can live in the well because it highly carbonated and contains arsenic. They do have great leeches, a water scorpion, snails and a amphipod.  We called a couple campgrounds in Flagstaff that wanted $85 for a complete hookup or $65 for water and electric. I looked up on a military campground 12 miles out of the way that was built during World War 2 called Camp Navajo, which is an Arizona National Guard base. We could stay there for 20 bucks a night. Not a big decision to be made. Were at 7000 plus feet elevation but it wasn’t supposed to hit down near freezing that. We don’t care because we’re hunkered down and can survive that easily.
April 22
It was a much colder than we really thought it was going to be and our water line froze during the night. It was OK and didn’t rupture. Luckily, we had some onboard water supply and everything was OK. We headed out the next day on historic route that took us to the Navajo Code Talkers Museum. It was an interesting short visit.  We moved on to US 163 which was featured in the movie with Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump. We’re not sure which part of the movie 163 was used but we drove the whole route through monument Valley. Everything is closed on Navajo land except some of this small roadside jewelry stores. We did stop at a place that was billed as a Dinosaur footprints site. It turns out it’s operated by a group of Navajo Indians much like the parking lots in Naples, Italy where the mafia grants permission to charge people to park while they watch your car. We got John to take us on a tour of the Dinosaur footprint area for a nominal fee that we would choose at the end of the tour. John was very knowledgeable about the  footprints. He also showed us a small fossil you could tap on it hear the hollow bone under the rock. Turns out his dad was a medic during Vietnam who died of agent Orange exposure in 2018. We gave John a good tip and moved on. We covered some ground we had traveled in 2014 before we got on Arizona 95. It’s a 93 mile stretch of highway with no services. Half way to the end, we decided to do some boondock camping with no hookups. We found a very nice spot that was occupied by 3 other RVs but we had social distancing in a private area. It was a very beautiful place along a area called White Canyon.  The stone in the white Canyon was pretty white but the surrounding mountains were all red. Everything went well until 2:30 in the morning when our coach batteries got too low to power the refrigerator which started beeping. I got up and turn the refrigerator off so we can get some sleep and it got pretty cold again. We were able to use our gas furnace to warm the place up before breakfast and I started the engine to put some juice in the coach batteries.

Fox News continues its drumbeat of scapegoating and hatred, recharging batteries of violence and making murderous attacks against asians, people of color and others more likely.  
But let’s talk a little about the shrinkage of these open places, the increase in ugliness and its causes.
“The EPA estimates that mining has already contaminated streams in the headwaters of more than 40 percent of the watersheds in the American West—and more problems are lurking below Earth's surface.  Mining was largely unregulated across much of the West until the 1970s, and today the tunnels of those mines lie abandoned and are often flooded with a toxic stew…”
https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/why-tens-thousands-toxic-mines-litter-us-west-180956265/
This is horrifying and as it turns out, immigrants are not the cause of it.  
What is?  Unregulated capitalism.  Profit-hungry white men.  The legacy, with deep roots in pre-democratic societies, of allowing the owners of property to destructively exploit individuals and nature while shielding these owners from accountability.  Small government/anti-regulation conservatism.  The American myth of endless westward expansion into unlimited abundance, and the historical willingness of white, Christian, western men to use genocide and violence to get their way.
Or, what about the shrinkage of the “open spaces” in the U.S.?  The following book is certainly not the first reporting on what’s happening in the American west.  Where are these dastardly immigrants to be found in this narrative?  Nowhere of course:
Tumblr media
The public lands of the western United States comprise some 450 million acres of grassland, steppe land, canyons, forests, and mountains. It's an American commons, and it is under assault as never before. Journalist Christopher Ketcham has been documenting the confluence of commercial exploitation and governmental misconduct in this region for over a decade. His revelatory book takes the reader on a journey across these last wild places, to see how capitalism is killing our great commons. Ketcham begins in Utah, revealing the environmental destruction caused by unregulated public lands livestock grazing, and exposing rampant malfeasance in the federal land management agencies, who have been compromised by the profit-driven livestock and energy interests they are supposed to regulate. He then turns to the broad effects of those corrupt politics on wildlife. He tracks the Department of Interior's failure to implement and enforce the Endangered Species Act--including its stark betrayal of protections for the grizzly bear and the sage grouse--and investigates the destructive behavior of U.S. Wildlife Services in their shocking mass slaughter of animals that threaten the livestock industry. Along the way, Ketcham talks with ecologists, biologists, botanists, former government employees, whistleblowers, grassroots environmentalists and other citizens who are fighting to protect the public domain for future generations.
The scale of the problem is enormous:
U.S. has lost 24 million acres of natural land in 16 years: independent report
The report attempted to calculate the rate of loss of natural lands by assessing the impact of oil and gas extraction, road construction, housing sprawl, agriculture and other human activities.

This isn’t being driven by immigrants, it’s being driven by under-regulated market forces that are doing the same thing everywhere, regardless of the presence of immigrants or not.
Strip malls, fast food joints, their utilitarian architecture, and the visual wastelands that so often mark human habitation in the U.S.?  This has nothing to do with immigrants and everything to do with a complex of other factors - histories, ideologies, values, local decisions, free market efficiency, aesthetic illiteracy, deep anti-humanist tendencies.  
Getting conservative media’s ‘causal structures’ right is not difficult.  Identify the right’s idols like capitalism, free markets, light regulation and limited government, and then merely toss out evidence that these things can be the cause of problems.  Invidiously and dishonestly insert racialized and other  categories and subjects of blame, and there you have it.
