Company chapter 6
After long last. This one is more on the lines of slice-of-life, but I hope people don't mind it. Sorry if some parts get description heavy, there are some new items that come up in this one.
VI
Cass tapped the rim of a shot glass with her claw, rocking it back-and-forth slightly on the table as she looked stared ahead. “So…” she began, thinking out loud, “now that we know who CLR is,” staring up at the ceiling, “what do we even do next?” Cass asked, her tone bewildered.
“We try and find a way to get them off our backs,” Wick replied in a monotone voice, coming over and filling one of the shot glass’s by Cass’s hand with a purple fluid from a cylindrical glass bottle.
“How, we don’t even know how we fucked ‘em off!” Cass snapped back, looking up at Wick as he gulped down the drink in one go, pulling it away from his mouth with a small grimace, spitting his tongue out.
“I don’t know, but we don’t exactly have much choice in the matter. From what Mari told us, they don’t seem the type to leave embers burning,” Wick grumbled, sharing in Cass’s sentiment nonetheless. He frowned to himself for a moment before glancing back at Cass, still fiddling with her glass. “And drink the medicine.”
“But it’s so gross,” Cass moaned, quickly switching gears.
“All medicine is, that’s why it works,” Wick called back, walking over to the cockpit, “besides I already drank mine so suck it up already!” Cass frowned in his direction before turning to glare back down at her glass. She sighed agitatedly before filling up the glass and downing it in one motion, gagging as it went down.
“Are you sure this isn’t out of date?!” she snapped to the cockpit, getting silence as a response. She got up from the chair and walked into the cockpit. She saw Wick with one foot on the chair and the other balanced on a blank space in the control panel as the man used a caulking gun to squeeze something on a cracked spot on the cockpit window shaped like a bullet mark. “Is it bad?” she inquired, looking at the space as she moved over to her seat, glancing at the monitor to her side to see normal temperatures across the ship.
“It’s not the best, but it’ll be fine for now,” he replied, stepping down from the console, using a bit of tissue to wipe the end of the caulking tube before duping it into a tool kit. He flopped down in his chair, rubbing a crick in his neck and feeling the bandage underneath it. “I want to have a break. Every place we’ve been to recently we’ve been shot at or punched,”
“Or both,” Cass chimed in, aches on her body making themselves now once again. Wick leaned forward to pull out a small paperback book, bound in an unvarnished blue card, and flip through it. Cass looked at him with mild curiosity, though guessing what he was reading through. Space travel, despite repeated attempts by various committees and nations, was not standardised or wholly coordinated. There was no one way to get maps around to people, no company saw much appeal in it, and, by virtue of its very nature space and its contents were too big to be mapped by a singular person.
But, that wasn’t true for everyone, and the majority of those in the exemption were the rouges. Pirates, salvagers, hobby traders and those who lived under the raider. The cosmic flotsam and jetsam of society. It was an effort by a small group at first, no more than a dozen or so people, to map out their local area with their own knowledge so they all had an easier time of getting around their sectors to aid in their business. They realized their idea was useful so they sold their work to those they knew, always hidden and over the counter. As time went on, people added to it, all of them slowly building a secret network of information over the old lines that used to exist. Eventually it came to a point where pirates had better maps of sectors of space than the companies or people who worked and lived in them. While some of the major sites did get more published in legitimate atlases, for secret hideaway’s it was the golden ticket of the rouge and the spy, the patron saint of knowledge to the robber barons of the stars.
Unfortunately, the name wasn’t too impressive, by virtue of trying to be subtle… and a lack of imagination on the part of those involved. The ‘Wayfarer’.
Wick flipped to the section that covered the area he was currently in, organised alphabetically for larger sectors then subdivided over grid patterns. He flipped through, looking for some uninhabited rock that was out of the way, checking a readout on the console to double check the full set of co-ordinates he was currently parked, the ship’s engines idling as the vessel hung in open space, the hull occasionally being rapped by small clusters of ice that drifted through the system. He found one after a while, a small, well as planets go, planetoid stranded in the middle of nowhere and covered with a species of grey lichen that lives on the rocks, giving the place an atmosphere, though not of exceptional quality. He held the book open in one hand as he plugged in the co-ordinates to the console, planning out the route on the computer after he had his endpoint. After he had finished he tapped the enter key, the shup thrumming into consciousness again, twisting around on itself before lurching upwards past where they had just escaped from. Wick glanced up at the cockpit window, the clear sealant holding, though his mind played the dreadful trick of slowly expanding the sight of the crack in his vision. He looked away, knowing it was just a trick of the eyes, pulling out a folded panel from under the right side of the console, revealing a somewhat worn looking VIC-20 wired up into the console along with a 32k RAM expander cartridge and pass through. He turned a dial below a small CRT that popped our slightly from the console, angled slightly so the top was relatively horizontal, and it flicked to static until Wick flicked on the VIC. The screen suddenly flickered into one featuring a cyan coloured border with a white screen where you could type, welcoming you to ‘CBM Basic V2’. He checked to make sure that the RAM was loaded before pulling out a frankly rather homemade looking cartridge and shoving it into the device.
“What are you doing?” Cass asked, staring as Wick leaned over the ancient hodgepodge of a device.
“This thing scrambles the ships registry number every second or so. It makes it much harder for ships to get a bead on you or to be traced,” Wick explained, checking over the loaded screen and plugging in a few extra commands before pressing enter, the screen displaying a cartoonish bat laughing before slipping back into static.
“Couldn’t you use something a bit more modern for it?” Cass asked, looking warily at the device intended to keep CLR’s mercenaries, and who knows what else, from finding them so easily.
“It’s what I had to hand. It’s not exactly like they sell these in the high-street or something,” Wick snapped, sneering at Cass as he turned back the dial for the monitor, the display flickering back to a readout of the amount of water and coolant the ship had left, along with their pressure. He swung the VIC-20 back under the console, a blue light plinking to life as he did to show the thing was still running. “If I’d bought something more modern, they’d have a receipt, these things are not exactly legal so it’s best not to leave a paper trail,” Wick explained, standing up from his chair to check over the panel of dials and displays.
“… Couldn’t you’ve bought a second hand laptop-”
“Leave it! It’s what I had and I don’t use it often!” Wick roared at Cass, running out of patience. “Besides, I don’t want to hear comments from someone who forgot they’d pissed off the entirety of a planet’s mafia!”
“… It wasn’t the entirety off it…” she argued quietly, looking away, “just a lot of it,” she added in a more sheepish tone. Wick glared at her for a moment, neither backing down before Wick sighed to himself and walked away.
“It’s butter chicken tonight, I’ll do an extra bowl of rice for you,” Wick called back begrudgingly, stomping through the living room to the corridor to his room.
“Thanks!” Cass called back, both of them having decided to sweep the thing under the rug. Wick flopped into his bed, kicking off his shoes and socks and taking off his jacket, winching at the holes where some mafioso’s shotgun pellets pierced it. He’d have to get it repaired later. He hung it up then undid his shirt, checking in a mirror to see how bad the wounds on his back were. They were light, though still an uncomfortable red, healed over where the shot had penetrated in a few places. He grimaced to himself as he pulled out a draw in a cabinet by the bunk, where the tapette player sat. He pulled out a set of silver dishes, tweezers, forceps, scissors and medicinal alcohol and set them on an empty bit of the side. He doused the tools in the alcohol, the clear spirit filling the room with its intoxicating scent. Then, he grabbed the bottle and necked down half its contents, grunting slightly as the liquid burned his throat on the way down.
“Right then…” he muttered to himself, grabbing the forceps and slowly pushing it into the wound, wincing despite the slow numbness that came over him, watching between his own view and the mirror until he felt the tips of the forceps tap the embedded shot. He grabbed it and slowly pulled it out, dropping it into the steel tray before continuing for the others. He got hit by about eight pellets, Cass likely a similar amount though few probably pierced her scales. He dabbed his wounds with some gauze before spraying the area with liquid silver and bandaging it. He put everything away then dumped the shot into a small container to re-use later. No sense wasting materials. He laid back in his bead, slightly woozy from the spirits, grunting as he reached for a book to read. After about five minutes Cass peaked her head around the door, a rather grumpy expression on her face.
“I can’t sleep on my back, it’s sore,” she grumbled stepping into the room and clambering up into the top bunk, “and that sofa is not good for sleeping on your front,” she added, shifting so she was sat on the edge of the bunk before she pulled off her shoes, a pair of high necked trainers.
“That’s cause it’s a sofa,” Wick commented, not looking up from the pages of his book.
“Don’t be a smartass,” Cass replied, half amused despite her irritation. They sat in silence for a while, both eventually succumbing to their mounted exhaustion and falling asleep, a few lauxes crawling into bed with them for warmth, a number more cosying up to Cass despite being semi-cold-blooded. The ship carried them to their destination without any significant event, though creaking like a steel drum at times, not that the two sleeping persons inside could hear it. It sailed through the sector, avoiding any major settlement or installation past the ice-fields and clusters of star dust that hung about in the sector, spewed off from the swirling planets and moons and their thin atmospheres’, glittering like morning dew in the kaleidoscopic starlight that bathed them.
They were slowly woken up by the blaring alarm, both lingering in bed for a while as the alarm screeched at them. Eventually, Wick dragged himself up, having half-buried his face in his pillow. He groaned slightly as he got up, Cass beginning to stir above him as he switched off the alarm.
“What time’s it…?” Wick asked, his words slurring slightly from sleep. Cass shifted in her bunk, lifting her watch to her face, the red watch-face contrasting with the white numbers and hands.
“‘S ten to three… has been a day though,” Cass answered.
“Right,” Wick replied, rubbing his eyes slightly as he pulled on a pair of boots.
“What happened to your watch?” Cass asked, shifting and dropping from her bunk to the floor.
“Oh, I just forget to put it on. I usually take it off when I’m fixing the ship,” Wick answered, yawning slightly as Cass quickly pulled on her boots.
“Well put it on, else what’s the point of having a watch!” Cass insisted looking at him with an unimpressed expression.
“Right, right…” Wick quietly agreed, pulling open a small cabinet for his watch as he watched her leave, a toothy frown falling neutrally on his face. He looked in the drawer for a second before finding the watch, wrapped in a bundle of cotton cloth. It was a Raketa, or Ракета, perpetual calendar watch. It had a white face with black roman numeral numbers and a black second, minute and hour hand. The face also featured a date and month window, but most peculiar were the blue Cyrillic markings on the watch face and the two rings at the top and bottom of the face. In blue on the bottom half of the face were the lists of months in columns, white lines either side of them that went straight down to the bottom ring which showed a list of years, though now long out-dated, and similar at the top, only showing numeral dates in the columns that rose up to Cyrillic names for days of the week. How it was intended to work was that you would align the year in question to the month you wanted to know dates for, using a second crown on the watch, and at the top you would get the dates for each day of the week in that year, though months surrounded by black had to match with black years. Wick had bought the watch for cheap when he was younger from a Russian friend of his, liking the system. The strap was not original however, Wick having replaced the old leather one with a brushed steel metal clasp one. He slipped it onto his wrist, setting the time and date from a readout as he walked, the piece not having been used in a while, before walking out of his room and going to the cockpit. He leant back and grabbed a short before he forgot and strode forward wearing a pink-white kimono style pattern shirt, buttoning it up as he walked.
He saw Cass pulling out a snack from the fridge, both of them having missed dinner, a made a note to himself to make some food when they landed. He came into the cockpit, not able to help glancing at the crack on with window before resting in his chair and gripping the controls. As they descended Wick checked over the console to check for any problems, the numerous readouts all being within expectations, though the engines were slightly colder than he expected though that was likely due to the amount of ice in the system. As he approached the surface, he raised the thrusters slightly before trying to lower the landing gear, all but one coming down. He checked the error reading, displayed on a small VFD saying the edge was caught. He grabbed a switch by the display and turned it slightly, raising the specific gear leg before spinning the switch back and forcing it down again, repeating it before it finally shoved past the panel, a scraping noise echoing through the ship as it did. He frowned concernedly before finishing lowering the ship to the surface, landing in a wide valley crater, flanked by tall light grey banks, similar coloured lichen dotted about like splattered paint. When the ship touched down, Wick went through switching off the main fuel pumps, setting timers for the coolant pups as well, wanting to let the system cool properly, before switching off the engines completely. Though, for one of the pumps, the button failed to work. Wick sighed boredly, knowing which one it was, the closest to where the pipe had blown last time. He grabbed his toolkit and walked out, switching the light off in the cockpit as he went. Cass was sat in a chair finishing off her snack, a mini pork-pie, glancing up at Wick as he came through.
“We’ve landed then?” she asked as he walked past, quickly grabbing a large tub from the freezer and stabbing the top with a pair of plyers before removing the paper slip and shoving it into the microwave.
“Yeah. There’s an atmosphere but it’s thin so be careful, I’ve got to go and fix some wiring among other things,” Wick explained in a monotone voice, jabbing at the number pad of the boxy device. He glanced back to Cass, “you fine doing your own rice? The chicken should be done in about nine minutes,” Wick asked leaning to set off to his tasks.
“Yeah I can do that,” Cass replied, somewhat insulted on some level that her ability was pegged that low. Wick nodded then turned to rush down the halls, his footsteps clanking on the steel flooring. Cass got up from her seat, grabbing a saucepan and a bag of rice, filling the former with water before putting the whole thing on the hob and setting it to boil. It was done after a few minutes, finishing about the same time as the microwave. She pulled out two dish-plates[], pouring out her rice onto one, then grabbing a dry dish-cloth to pull out the butter chicken and split it between the two plates, though making sure she got a few extra bits of meat for her efforts. She grabbed Wick’s plate, as well as a bottle of root-beer from the fridge, and walked over to where Wick had left. She saw where he had dropped his tools, nearby an open panel showing an industrial pump behind it, a ceiling panel pulled off and laying on the floor as Wick moved in the crawl-space overhead.
“I’ll leave your food here for you, and I got you a drink!” Cass called up, placing the plate on a raised section by the wall.
“Thanks!” Wick called back, shifting closer to the hole and holding a hand out. Cass placed the drink in his hand and he wedged the top and the neck against part of the roof panel and bent it, the cap popping off and falling to the floor, only just avoiding falling through the grating. Cass picked it up and walked away, dropping it into the bin as she passed it before eating her food, enjoying the mild dish. She wasn’t the best with spice. She finished after a few minutes, polishing off what was left of the rice. Wick didn’t like it with curry for some reason. As she did she heard thumping down the hall, which went quiet before it resumed, Wick crawling back out of the roof.
Cass did the washing up, putting them all away as Wick came into the room and washed his own. Cass strode over to the airlock and swung open the inner door, locking it from habit before opening the front door with little hesitation. She took a deep breath as she exited, the air crisp and cold, but also rather thin like being partway up a mountain. She kept breathing for a while, getting herself used to the thin air, lest she make herself sick. Wick came out after a moment, carrying a tool box along with a number of folded poles.
“What was wrong then?” Cass asked as he passed, having a bundle of cable shoved into her hand as he passed.
“One of the pumps had some wiring melt so I had to replace it, along with a bunch of other cables that had perished or snapped,” Wick explained tiredly, dropping his toolkit as he began shoving the white stakes into the soil, the thin paint on their surface already falling away from overuse. He staked about twelve of them in a large square, four on each side, before ducking back into the ship before coming back out carrying a large folded cloth, pinning it by hooks to the top of each stake, the face of the cloth shining with solar cells.
“Was it bad?” Cass asked, handing him the cabling as she asked.
“Not too bad, just awkward,” Wick answered, connecting the impromptu solar panel to the cable then the other end to the ship, a dull bulb flickering on as power flowed into the ship’s batteries, saving having to use the engine to keep the lights on. He stood up, grabbing his toolkit, and turned back to Cass, “I’ve got a few more things to do, so you can do what you like for a bit,” he droned in a monotone voice, gesturing with his head towards the ship.
“I’ll have a wander around then,” Cass replied, turning to start off in a random direction.
“See you later… Don’t go to far,” he called after her with a tributary half-concerned voice.
“Yeah, yeah,” Cass called back waiving behind her dismissively. She strode forward, looking around the crater as she did, the wide space utterly empty bar from the ship and great expanses of lichen. She walked, straight-backed and shoulder back, towards the edge of the crater the grey-white slopes resembling some mix of chalk and moonrocks though thankfully more the former than the latter. She climbed up the sheer side of it, stepping up it until she crested the peak. When she had overcome it she could see out over the wide expanse of the planetoid. It was mostly wide plains, with occasional mountains and valleys, almost resembling the Eurasian steps. It lacked rivers however, the surface dry as a bone, the kicked up dust almost sucking up the moisture in the air as if floated through it. Though, that of course made one wonder how the entire place managed to support any foliage at all. Cass walked on for a while until she came to a massive patch of the lichen-moss, spread over a wide area as if slowly advancing from a single point. She walked over it, not having much interest in the craggy looking mountain range, the peaks worn down to razor sharp points like white obsidian.
As she walked across the field of pale lichen, she noticed a change as she strode further in from its perimeter. Specifically, that is slowly became damp underfoot, water squelching as she stepped on the moss as if she was walking on marshland. She pressed a hand to it, feeling the dampness on her scales before wiping it off, not knowing the water’s possible contaminants. She went back to check the edge of the moss again, finding it was still bone dry, snapping one section off to check and then feeling a spurt of water fall on her palm from the plants amputated limb, the thing chock full of water. She looked at it for a moment, thinking it was cool, before chucking away the twig onto a random patch of stone. She turned and walked further into the growth, the ground getting wetter and wetter as she did. Then, she felt her foot slip into the ground, making her falter for a moment until she regained her balance. She pulled her foot back up, the boot slightly soaked from what she had fallen into, a small-somewhat deep creek, seemly eroded from the rock that was hidden by the overgrowth at its top, resembling what occurs in a saltmarsh or certain Scottish highlands. She knelt down to look at it, lifting up some of the overhanging moss to get a better look and saw a thin but rapid trail of water racing down the cursus of the creek, flanked on either side by near sheer walls of hard grey-white mud and silt, reinforced by the roots of the lichen growing on it. Further in, there were large pools of water resembling pannes one might again find in a saltmarsh, the water clear but smelling strongly of salts and minerals, the lichen surrounding them far taller than that that occupied the hinterlands outside of these pools perimeter, some even having what one might call buds or small pale flowers less than a centimetre in length.
The air shifted as well at this deeper part, becoming slightly thicker and not as parchingly dry though still cold, the unbroken wind now whipping up swirls of spray rather than dust, the droplets making Cass feel rather damp. She explored for a bit longer before turning back, the chill air making her begin to feel rather tired. When she got close to the crater where they had landed, having traced her steps back to it despite the lack of good landmarks, she hopped down the side of the ridge that formed the crater wall, her tail thumping on the ground after her. Wick was stood a ways away from the ship beside a white fold out table with a gun in his hands, a number more along wit ammunition on the table as well as spray cans and cleaning tools. He was loading the rifle as Cass approached, making sure to stand behind him as she did.
“What are you doing?” she asked, Wick glancing over to her as he rested the butt of the carbine, an old looking piece that seemed to be single-shot with a large calibre barrel.
“I’m just doing some shooting, I like to take them out sometimes, it’s relaxing and I give them a good clean afterwards,” Wick explained.
“I see,” Cass replied, walking closer, Wick gesturing with his eyes to a pair of custom ear-defenders for the neidr which she put on. “I���m surprised you didn’t use that against the merc’s rather than that bolt-action,” Cass quipped a cheeky smile on her face as she did.
“If you keep bringing that up I won’t lend you this one let alone anything else,” Wick retorted in a monotone voice glancing back at Cass with half-lidded eyes.
“Fine, fine,” Cass chuckled back, relenting in her teasing and going into the ship to wash off, taking her headphones with her to put back on later. Wick grabbed a cartridge from the canvas bandolier strung across his chest and slid the 11mm black-powder round into the breach before raising the falling block with a lever on the right side of the action, an appearance somewhat similar to the hammer on a side lock musket, though simple a straight lever. He shouldered the weapon, a Werder 1869, aiming down the sights onto a space at the other end of the crater where steel target had been set up. He aimed, standing, at the target’s centre mass and fired the round thumping into the rock beside it. Wick lowered the rifle a slight grimace adding to his usual frown. He pulled the side leaver, the action kicking out the spent case before Wick shoved in a fresh bullet and repeated the action, this time a solid clang of lead on steel ringing out while the carbine’s muzzle still was wreathed in a bloom of smoke. Wick straightened his shoulder slightly, feeling better for the success, then did the same for another eight rounds. They had to be entirely hand made after all, so he didn’t have too many.
He collected up the spend cases, dropping them in a Tupperware box nearby the rifle which he left on the suede cover that was slaid over the table, leaving the carbine to clean at the same time as the others. The next one, a Czech Vz.52, was a longer weapon though still a ‘short-rifle’, and one that was much more modern, though still outdated. It was set in a wooden stock, a finger grove at the middle just ahead of a detachable ten round magazine and just before a folding bayonet. The receiver above it was squarish, though with rounded corners, an upper hand guard made form wood until halfway, where it transitioned to a metal grooved cover. He loaded the magazine, ten rounds of 7.62x45 a proprietary round for the Vz. 52 that was eventually swapped, under presume from the Soviets, to 7.62x39 but Wick had an early model, having brought it from a friend. He racked the bolt, the metallic clack of the mechanism chambering a round echoing through the abandoned planet, one entirely and utterly alien to it.
He aimed at the target, lining up the rear tangent sight and the hooded front post onto the target and firing, the first shot landing dead on target with a snapping plink, the gas piston snapping the bolt open before it chambered another round. He shot around a bit longer after that, going through a few of the guns he hadn’t used recently such as his Chinese type 56, a copy of the AK-47, or a few of his pistols. He collected up all the spent cases after, placing them in labelled clear Tupperware, the specific dimensions scrawled on the top in permanent marker over a straight piece of masking tape. He cleaned all of the guns after that, meticulously going through and cleaning every part that could need it, before assembling them with some grease in certain areas, polishing the metal and the wood. After that, Cass came back out from the ship, apparently having fell asleep in the bath an impressive feat as it was a standing barrel type, meant to save space.
“Do you mind if I have a go?” she asked, a towel draped around her shoulders as she wore a vest and a pair of pleated trousers. Wick glanced at her, thinking about it for a moment before answering.
“Which one?” he asked, putting his hands in his pockets, straightening out as he almost leaned back. Cass looked over the table for a moment before spying one that caught her interest.
“This one!” she declared, lifting up a large pistol, resembling a M1911, though with a few differences such as a full length dust cover on the bottom and no relief cuts on the slide and deeper rake in the grip.
“Right…” Wick replied, holding a hand out for the gun, which Cass placed in. Wick removed the magazine, placing the gun on the bench, and began loading it.
“This one uses .357 Magnum rounds, but the recoil isn’t that bad,” he explained, loading the rimmed rounds into the magazine, feeding the rims in from the front of the steel object. When it was loaded with all seven rounds he handed her the magazine and the pistol, a Coonan .357, and stood back beginning to load another magazine for it.
Cass pressed the magazine into the gun, hearing a light click as it locked into place. She racked the slide, gripping the angled serrations on the rear of the slide, to chamber a round. She lined up the sights on the target, a good ways away despite the good quality adjustable sights on the pistol. She gripped it two handed, flicking off the safety before pressingly lightly on the skeletonised trigger. It fired slightly earlier than she had expected, herself used to and preferring a heavier trigger pull, but she still hit the target nonetheless. She flashed a cheeky grin more to herself than anything, firing a few more times before the magazine ran dry and she lowered the pistol, giggling to herself.
“That’s actually quite pleasant to shoot!” she called to Wick, the man in question handing her a fresh magazine. Wick nodded in response, a tired but genuine smile on his face as he was handed the spent magazine. “… Do you mind if I shoot a bit more of these for a while?” Cass asked, turning to Wick with a somewhat giddy look. Wick looked at her with a somewhat apprehensive expression before he seemed to shove the doubt from his face.
“Sure, just make sure to pick up all the spent cases when your done,” he answered, sighing slightly as she grabbed some of the other weapons, “I’m going to put these away while you do that then,” he added turning to walk away as Cass nodded, racking the slide before again flicking off the safety. As he got into the airlock he turned back and called, “there’s some extra targets in a storage compartment on the ship’s exterior if you want to use them!”
“Thanks!” she called back as Wick went into the ship proper. It took a few trips to get in all the items from the table, Cass having set up another three targets during that time, having great fun with the pistol. She stopped after about half an hour, making sure the gun was cleared before placing it on the table and collecting all the spent brass and targets. She handed the brass and pistol to Wick, putting away the targets herself.
He cleaned the pistol and put it and the brass where they belonged before packing up the table. He walked back into the living room, wiping his hands to make sure they were clean of grease, and then spotting Cass stood in front of the oven, a pair of lauxes at her feet. “…what are you doing?” he asked flatly striding past to place the tissue in the bin.
“I’m making dinner, I was hungry,” she answered simply, as if the answer was obvious, Wick turned to look at her with a disconcerted expression.
“…You?” he asked, looking at her with a wary expression. Cass glared at him with an agitated expression, annoyed at what she knew was meant as a rude comment.
“Yes, me! What about it?” she snapped an irate expression on her face.
“Nothing,” Wick replied, not having the energy to deal with the possible argument. Cass was, while not a bad cook, had the culinary abilities of a sixth-form bachelor. He went to his office, flicking on the light as he stepped down into the room. He pulled open a drawer of one of the filing cabinets, locked with a key, and lifted out a pair of headphones and a grey leather-flap case, a shoulder strap hooked onto it. He rested the headphones around his neck for the moment, hanging the case and its contents off his opposite shoulder as he grabbed a few small items resembling cassettes. He tucked them into his pocket before turning back and walking out of the office, neatening a stack of papers on habit before he did, snapping the lights off as he did. As he walked through the living room to go outside he saw Cass leaning over the stove, the hood on her reptilian head flared out as she muttered to herself a number of luaxes watching her curiously if not concernedly. His gaze lingered on her for a moment before moving on, walking out of the airlock door, a few lauxes following after him out of curiosity, flopping down the stairs like young puppies.
Wick pulled out a lawn chair from one of the ships external compartments, the ship having one on each side for Wick to store a few small things that he took out often, not impacting the strength of the ship much. He laid out the chair and sat down in it, sitting upright for the moment as he opened the leather case and pulled out its contents, a Sony TCD-D10, a DAT player-recorder meant for reporters. It was slightly bigger than an A5 book, about an inch thick, and made of black metal. The top panel, on the thin-long side, had a volume nob on the left next to a large LCD display that showed the program, time and other details next to a LED VU bar, a number of button after that before recording level nob on the right side. Wick plugged in the headphones on the right side panel before flipping it to the largest panel on its side, pressing up a switch to open the cover for the mechanism. It snapped up to show a smaller loading mechanism within it, which Wick pressed the eject for to get it open, then load in a DAT, one he had recorded himself with some songs, and pressing both back closed. He pressed play, the button on the same side as the loading mechanism, before leaning the device on the leg of the deck chair and leaning back.
He stared up at the sky as crisp music blared through his headphones, a company of lauxes gazing at him as he did, a few joining him in watching the black sky, the air too thin to refract much of what little light reached the abandoned planet, letting the beautiful black sky glisten through, illuminated by thousands of iridescent stars, wreathed by abandoned rings of ice that drifted though the sky, colliding with white-hot asteroids and blooming in glittering cosmic fireworks as coppers, sodium’s and myriad other metals burned in the great festival of the sky.
Wick stared out up at the fantastical performance danced above him like an angels waltz with a bored and distracted expression. He couldn’t help but be bothered by the concerns of his recent days, of CLR and their mercenaries, and how he had quite suddenly a much larger assemblage of problems than he had really ever had. And he had utterly no idea why these troubles had arrived at his feet. He sat their, wishing he knew why he had incurred the wrath of such a large body, when a laux crawled over his face, sitting down upon it as if it was a perfectly reasonable thing to do so. Wick was surprised but not massively until he looked closer at the lauxes’ stomach, seeing text written on the creatures metal frame. He pulled the creature off his face as he sat up straight, the engraved letters reading out, ‘Hephaestus-Turing Project: expr. KF3894, CLR’ a number of smaller text detailing things like parts and various company names.
“…Well, I guess we know why they’re so hacked off about us know…” Wick mused to himself, turning the laux to face it, the creature making an electronic ‘mrrrp’ in response.

this is how we win (with normal people, which is most of em). I’m a utopian in the sheets but I’m a person who wants human beings to have flourishing lives in the streets. Those two arent incompatible. Matt Bruenig and Peoples Policy Project are doin the goodass work of breakin down concretely exactly how we can gobble up the capital wealth and socialize as much of the economy as politically conceivable at the moment. But I am also eager to entertain the utopianism and radical humanism of Marxists like Bloch, Lefebvre, CLR James, Dunayevskaya, Geras, Federici, Marx, Karl Marx, Marcuse; and indeed learn a good deal from the more serious anarchists and anarchist adjacent people like Rocker, Malatesta, Mattick.
21st century globalized capital with its wrought iron lattice network of global production centers and supply chains — no socialist has The Answer. Socialism is a big laboratory, and fidelity to Marxian insight means socialists must be creative, inventive, experimental, and committed to finding what works towards the emancipation of human beings and mercilessly shredding what doesn’t. Also it means securing “the realm of necessity” before, as a prereq to, the “realm of freedom.” That means a lot of unsexy strategic mass politics, and it doesn’t mean saying “revolution” like a spell until some brave heroes go and get themselves turned into juice by the global western arsenal archipelago. Nothin about welfare and redistribution thru politics cuts against a disalienated future of collective social ownership and democratic management of production. On the contrary, it’s a big part of a scaffolding. We are climbing that at a glacial pace if at all rn, let’s not delude ourselves. But we can do, and every horizon for effacing the iron law of value in monopoly imperial capitalism is one we should not hesitate, out of fashionable idiotic fear of being Not Marxist Leninist enough (for 2024), to pursue

PHP vs ASP.NET: How Do They Differ?
This PHP vs. ASP.NET blog is designed for you if you are a reader who works in the backend development sector.
When it comes to the development of websites and applications, PHP is one of the most used frameworks. There are a variety of different frameworks that can be utilized to simplify the work of the developer. Despite this, we are familiar with the server-side programming language used by more than 77.4% of the websites that are now online.
The ASP.NET framework is one that is open-source and powered by Microsoft. In addition, if you have websites that are developed on it, we offer Windows hosting for shared, virtual private server (VPS), reseller, and dedicated hosting.
After designing a website, you will need to sign up for web hosting. Before that, it was all about the framework, which is the basis upon which websites are constructed.
And here we are, pitting two significant brands against one another: ASP and PHP. Let's find out who came out on top of the competition, shall we?
What Exactly is PHP?
The Hypertext Processor, also known as PHP, is an open-source framework that is utilized in the development of websites. Under this, you'll find a variety of other subcategories, like Laravel and many others. The majority of developers agree that Laravel is the most superior PHP framework. In addition, we have discussed this subject in our blog post titled "Why Is the Laravel PHP Framework the Best?" Take advantage of the opportunity to read it!
You can rely on our PHP hosting services, which are preferred by many communities of developers, to increase the effectiveness and performance of your website.
In addition, we will not go over the history of this framework because it has already been discussed in our earlier articles comparing PHP and JavaScript.
This location will eventually make available further information. Therefore, you shouldn't abandon this blog. Because it is so straightforward to incorporate into HTML code, PHP stands out among other languages. It does so by analyzing the PHP code that is stored on a web server and forming either the entirety or a portion of an HTTP response based on its findings. In comparison to ASP, the programming language PHP is easier to understand, which gives it an advantage.
And about market share, let's be really transparent with one another! When compared to ASP.NET, PHP currently holds the majority.
But hold on! In the battle between PHP and ASP.NET, you shouldn't crown PHP the victor just yet. Let's talk about ASP.NET, another platform that competes with it.
ASP.NET: What exactly is it?
Active Server Pages are what the entire abbreviation for ASP stands for, and .NET is an abbreviation for Network Enabled Technologies. It is constructed using CLR, which stands for Common Language Runtime. Because of this, writing code in ASP is simple and does not require knowledge of any.NET language. ASP.NET is a framework that may be used to develop dynamic content-driven websites, as well as online applications and web services. It is a component of the Microsoft.NET platform, and we advise our customers to go with ASP.NET Hosting since it ensures that all Windows programs and applications are compatible with the framework.
Building dynamic websites, web apps, and services are all possible with the help of ASP.NET. Because it is a server-side web application framework that is open source, CRMs and corporations find that it is the ideal solution for developing websites.
Microsoft first introduced it in 2002 with the intention of satisfying the scalability requirements of large businesses. Building enterprise resource planning (ERP) applications, console apps, and enterprise-level customer relationship management systems (CRMs) is simple with ASP.NET. The best user interface is provided to developers, and with it, developers can provide built-in caching functions.
The great thing about it is that it is compatible with every programming language.
Now that we've got that out of the way let's compare and contrast these programming languages some more.
Compare and contrast PHP vs ASP.NET, and Learn the Differences Between Them
1. Cost
PHP is superior to ASP.NET in just one respect, yet this advantage cannot be overlooked. PHP is open-source and free, but ASP.NET is owned by Microsoft, which also charges a price for website hosting.
If you are already considering contracting out the development of your ASP.NET website, the prices that are quoted to you should be competitive enough to dissuade you from doing so.
In addition, ASP.NET development services can only be run on Windows computers, whereas PHP can be executed on computers running Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, or Linux. Users of Macs and Linux can have ASP.NET executed on their computers by utilizing the Mono project.
2. Capacity to Grow
A web application written in PHP is just as scalable as a web application written in ASP.NET. It is more crucial to hire developers with the right skills than it is to select a language that can scale. In this regard, the state of your company should be taken into consideration. If you are a do-it-yourself entrepreneur interested in working with Drupal, you should consider PHP rather than ASP.NET.
When hiring a lead developer or a team to build your website, it is ideal to defer to the most talented individuals who are currently available. It shouldn't make a difference if that talent works in PHP or ASP.NET if your organization is already using either of those languages, so long as they are both in use.
If you engage PHP coders, this will show up as a vulnerability in your website's general framework, despite the fact that PHP is more cumbersome than ASP.NET. It is also essential to remember that the NET development pool includes ASP.NET in its membership.
3. Be a supporter
Do you need help with the technical aspects of both of these? In this parameter, PHP has a sizable community of developers hailing from a wide variety of linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Each and every one of your questions will have an answer inside the PHP community.
The same is true for ASP.NET, as devoted developers and support contributors are always prepared to lend a helping hand to users in a variety of online communities. There will be solutions developed for every conceivable ASP.NET problem.
Obtain the answers you need and the solutions you need to solve problems. In addition, PHP hosting and Windows hosting service providers are standing by 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to answer any questions you may have regarding the operations of your website host.
4. Velocity and overall performance
The speed of your website is not determined by the programming language you use; this is a widespread misunderstanding regarding the performance and speed of websites.
The performance differences between websites built with PHP and those built with ASP.NET are, however, extremely minimal.
Each online application must do database queries and then send the results to the web server, which are then delivered to the browser of the end user.
In order to accomplish what has to be done, the programming language must interface with the web servers and the database.
Conclusion:
Web development using either ASP.NET or PHP is just as capable of accessing file systems, locating pictures, and displaying pages on a web server. The pace of these performances can be affected by a variety of factors, including database servers, end-user computers, bandwidth, and more.
There is a widespread misunderstanding that ASP.NET, which is used for online development, is a more elegant language than PHP.
It is true that ASP.NET does not allow as many irregularities in its code while still being able to run (which technically makes it an easier language for beginners to learn), but there are very few business benefits from being able to create "prettier code." ASP.NET does not allow as many abnormalities in its code as other languages do while still being able to function.
Popular websites created in PHP, should debunk any perception that PHP sites perform less well than ASP.NET sites. This is despite the fact that many professional PHP developers could be opposed to the idea of constructing a site in PHP.

Best .Net Training Institute
.Net which is designed and developed by Microsoft is not a programming language but it is the framework which is use to develop the software applications. It's first beta version is released on 2002. It provides many functionalties and support. It supports more than +62 languages. For example: Python, Java, C etc. It provides various services like memory management, networking, security and type-fast. Common language runtime environment (CLR): It is program execution engine which is responsible for loading and executing program. Framework class Library (FCL): Thousand classes need to build the applications. So nowadays mostly many people are using the .NET and it is getting more popularity and it is having a huge career ahead.

PHP developers VS ASP.NET developers: An Inside Look 2022
PHP is a scripting language used for web development. It was developed by Rasmus Lerdorf, a Danish-Canadian programmer, in 1994.
Generally, PHP is used by developers to create web servers.
Besides that, PHP is also a server-side programming language and contributes to creating dynamic and static web pages.
Developers can also embed PHP with Hypertext Markup Language. A PHP interpreter processes PHP code on a web server in order to form a whole HTTP response.
What is ASP.NET?
ASP stands for Active Server Pages Network Enabled Technologies and is built with Common Language Runtime or CLR. It was created by Microsoft and was released in January 2002.
It lets programmers write ASP code employing any .NET Language. Also, its scalability makes it an ideal choice for developing Customer Relationship Management (CRMs) and enterprise-level websites.
Basically, ASP.NET is considered an open-source server-side web app framework and helps developers create dynamic websites, web apps, and services.
Programmers and developers use ASP.NET as it notifies them of errors before compiling code and has in-built caching features.

Net framework v4.0.30319 in place install
It includes a large class library called Framework Class Library (FCL) and provides language interoperability (each language can use code written in other languages) across several programming languages. NET Framework (pronounced as " dot net") is a software framework developed by Microsoft that runs primarily on Microsoft Windows. NET Framework 3.5.Windows 98 or later, Windows NT 4.0 or later NET Framework is (usually) indispensable for Microsoft users. NET Framework can be viewed as a love-it-or-hate-it platform: it can easily become a solution for developers who fully understand how to work with it, as well as a burden for casual users who frequently run into all sorts of issues. Overall, a must-have framework for some Microsoft apps This can also be a problematic step because it's tricky to completely eliminate all leftovers (try using. Although this method doesn't always work (sadly), the last mentioned issue can be typically fixed by reinstalling. For example, it occupies a significant amount of disk space, the installation step is lengthy, the utility usually hogs system resources, and older editions sometimes become unstable and frequently crash. There are several known facts when it comes to the downsides of. Figuring out what version you already have installed can be tricky, but you can resort to several apps to help you in this regard, such as Speccy Portable. NET Framework versions installed on your PC to run multiple apps with different requirements. To be more specific, you can have multiple. NET Framework editions to work, and users should keep in mind these are not automatically implemented in newer versions. For instance, older applications require older. Worth mentioning is that the version number of a framework shouldn't be understood as a simple "update" number. NET Framework 2.0, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.5 are rolled with Windows 8. NET Framework 3.5.1 is integrated into Windows 7, while. However, it sometimes comes bundled with various software packages, and some versions are built into Windows, so they only need to be enabled. Typically, the infrastructure has to be manually downloaded by users. NET Framework addresses not only developers, but also regular users who want to be able to launch a tool written in. file and network I/O), it supports database interaction, XML usage and development, client-oriented apps for the desktop and Internet, along with SOAP-based XML web services.ĪSP.NET is the popular open-source service-side framework that programmers use to create dynamic web pages, apps and services with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and any other type of code supported by the. Apart from the runtime core functions (e.g. There's also a 4.6 RC version available.įCL comprises the numerous classes, services, interfaces and namespaces provided by. NET apps, enabling programmers to develop projects using a language compiler, featuring cross-language integration and exception handling, enhanced support for security, versioning and deployment, along with a simple model for component integration, debugging and profiling services. Three major components: CLR, FCL and ASP.NETĬLR is the runtime environment, which means that it handles the execution of. The package contains three major components: Common Language Runtime (CLR), Framework Class Library (FCL), and ASP.NET.
It's basically a large package that already has all the necessary code with libraries, classes and templates needed by programmers to seamlessly put together desktop apps and web services by simply calling the code, instead of having to write everything from scratch.
