Another! I can’t be stopped!
Epsilon’s has actually been my favorite of these sheets I completed so far; I really like both how his design and concept turned out. Maybe it’s a little blasphemous of me to say as an RVB fan but I honestly liked Epsilon more than Alpha in terms of Churches. Maybe my bias is showing here. 
Here’s some information about this funny little guy:
- During this series, most of the fun of it has been figuring ways to translate Red vs. Blue canon into Star Trek canon. So, for Epsilon, I had to think on it for awhile before I came up with a way to turn an AI program into something less physical than an android (which Church is) but still computery. And, I finally hit upon a hologram! If you can’t tell by his name, Epsilon is different from a hologram like the EMH; he was created by the Director specifically to use in the development of the Alpha android. Basically, he was like a Cloud backup, saving all of Alpha’s information so if something went wrong all the work would be saved. He could also be used to do diagnostics on Alpha’s programming.
- Like in canon, after the collapse of Project Freelancer, Epsilon was stored away for years and years, until being reactivated by Caboose after Alpha’s destruction. I imagine Epsilon would be stored on a little chip in a compartment somewhere on Alpha Church’s body, and in the Season 6-equivalent downtime, Caboose is dismantling Alpha’s body to try and get him working again and discovers Epsilon. 
- As RVB is a comedy show, I think its hypothetical Star Trek equivalent would be much more silly and weird, like Next Gen and TOS as compared to the ultra-serious modern shows. So, with Epsilon being a hologram, you KNOW there would be so many ridiculous holosuite shenanigans. I think he would really get a kick out of participating in that nonsense. 
- One last little note about his uniform; the rest of the uniforms for this series are all Next Gen-based, but I wanted to make Epsilon’s based on a Voyager uniform, both as a way to differentiate him from Alpha Church and as a nod to the Doctor. 
Next is Grif!

Number Tournament: EPSILON vs BELPHEGOR'S PRIME
Tumblr media
[link to all polls]
epsilon
seed: 37 (14 nominations)
previous opponent: sixteen
class: infinitesimal
definition: its exact definition differs between different fields of math, but epsilon (in the infinitesimal sense) is generally a number that's as small as infinite numbers are big
Belphegor's prime
seed: 60 (7 nominations)
previous opponent: 69
class: prime number
definition: 1000000000000066600000000000001, a prime number so metal it was able to beat 69 in round one

Legacies Are Supposed To Change
Tumblr media
Another fratification, This is one more of a prep to slob tf ! -Occam
Tumblr media
My father was a member of Kappa Epsilon Gamma, and my grandfather before him was practically a founding member. I am going to be the third generation Astor to not only pledge but eventually become president. My family donates enough to the chapter to more than pave my way to the top. My only question now is, why are they making me pledge.
The current president, James, clearly didn’t care for me implying that I was getting in regardless, stopping just short of calling me out in front of the other pledges. That’s the only mistake he’s going to make though, when I’m in the frat I’ll completely clean house. That dunce will be lucky to even still be in the frat. I’m already old enough to be the president anyway, I’m sure my father will help the other alumni to agree.
Despite the president’s protests I have already secured a room in the house and I will say the room does seem to be exquisite. The only detail out of place is a pitcher of beer sitting on my desk. The head is still frothy so it must have been put there recently. Before I moved in my father warned me against partying too hard, we have a reputation to uphold after all, and I am not even a big drinker. 
The amber pitcher in front of me, ice cold without a piece of ice within, is more enticing than it ever should be though. The president must have done something to it. Absolutely. But, I  am awfully parched all of a sudden. I feel my mouth rapidly dry as I move closer to inspect the glass. A sip couldn’t hurt, it’s just beer after all. It’s probably that faux president admitting defeat already, no one can stand up to an Astor and prosper after all. 
I raise the pitcher to my mouth, struggling to raise it without spelling as it is heavier than I thought beer could be. The head spills over my face as I tilt the pitcher to drink. It runs down my cheeks and off my chin not that I could notice or care though. This beer is unlike anything I’ve tasted before. It's so, I need more right now. I force as much of it as I can down my throat before needing to take a break to breathe. The brief respite only gives me time to do something I thought unthinkable for a man of such poise as myself, I let out an impossibly loud burp.
I hear frat bros cheering outside my room in response “Yeah bro! Let’s go Tank!” I feel my face redden from the embarrassment of being heard doing something so profoundly basal. I scoff and roll my eyes as I notice how itchy my face suddenly is. It must be the beer starting to dry where I spilled it.
I go to wipe it off and notice it is far scratchier than it has any right to be. It burns even. I feel my face grow an even deeper shade of red as the beer must start to hit my system. I put the pitcher down and start to scratch my cheeks. I’ve never even had to shave before! Us Astor men don’t even grow peach fuzz! It  would be unbecoming to even try to grow a beard! I look in the mirror to assess whatever my situation and find an uncomfortable face staring back at me. That can’t be right. Thick brown hair is pushing out forming a chinstrap that must have taken months to grow! I lean in closer to inspect my face as another burp tries to force its way out of my throat.
Unwilling to embarrass myself once again I fight to keep it down. As I struggle against the gas in my esophagus I notice that my stomach is starting to bloat up. I see the thick brown hair in my beard start to seep up through my sideburns, staining my perfect blonde coifs into some dirty oafish brown. I gasp as my thin eyebrows rapidly burst into heavy caterpillars over my eyes which almost allows the burp to escape.
Clenching my jaw as I feel my stomach starts to press against my dress shirt. I audibly groan as I hear my bros outside start to cheer once more, something about me drinking the pitcher. They left it for me didn't they! What was I supposed to do! This burst of rage allows me to swallow the burp my neck thickening as it forces its way back down. I look down to see the button pop off of my suit jacket as my stomach starts to grumble. I feel woozy watching my torso start to barrel out, what happened to my lithe lacrosse build? My mind feels heavy as I inspect my growing body, I start to smell some vile body odor start to come from somewhere. One of these oafs absolutely needs to invest in cologne. I sniff around before my head finds itself in my own pit as I take a deep inhale and find the root of the stick. But that can’t be right?
My arms bloat out straining my dress shirt as I toss off my coat. I raise my arm behind my head to inspect my armpits further which creates a tear right on the seam, exposing my pit just in time for me to see my few blonde underarm hairs rapidly thicken to the same brown now covering my face. It’s almost funny? I can barely stop myself from laughing as I watch hair spread like a jungle in my pit, creating a haven for odor my body now apparently produces.
Is this because I burped? Is it some kind of sick joke? I’m struggling to find any reason for what is happening when I hear the zipper of my pants give out. Apparently my stomach isn't the only part of me bloating. I need to stop this. Maybe, maybe if I finish the beer without burping again I’ll go back to normal. That, that makes sense right?
I quickly grab the picture and do not notice how much thicker my hand is. Brown hairs sprouting on my hand and knuckles as my fingers grow hammy and lose the dexterity I have long honed. As I raise the glass to my face my stomach finally blows off the buttons as a thick treasure trail forms a peak halfway up my meaty torso. My body odor grows thicker in the air as I start to drink the rest of the glass. 
I feel my ass thicken as it forms a much weighter cushion in my seat, in the other side I feel as my balls rapidly grow to supply my body with the testosterone my body demands. My cock thickens but gets no longer as the beer dribbles down my face spilling all over my chest where curly dark hair spreads out from the center in a large diamond.
I finish the pitcher and shout to celebrate my conquest, “I did it fuckers! I passed the test,” as I shatter the pitcher on the floor of my bedroom, one of the pledges’ll clean that shit up anyway. 
I stand and rip the strained pants off my body as the shirt tears itself off of its own accord, no longer able to even try to hide my party bod. My bros burst into the room and start cheering “Tank, Tank, Tank!” Making me realize that duh, they’re talking about me. My bros have always called me that I burp again, now performativity as my body finishes changing. My eyes lose any pretentious sparkle they still held as they darken to a dull brown. My vocal chords grow visibly thicker, just showing from underneath the thick beard hanging off my face. A clear boner starts to grow in my shorts, not like my bros care.
I shake my package at them with my hand as I finish burping. Now that I’m in the frat I can show my bros that I’m not a fuckin’ prude like my dad and the other fuckin’ geezers. It’s gonna be a great year, now let’s go see which of these bitch pledges are Kappa material!

This is still one of my most favorite things, not just with the AI, but in general, in the whole series; every Church ever is so bad at doing Emotions but in a Nice Way, and Epsilon knows he screwed up with his friends, so he's asking for help on how to fix it. He's having a whole discussion about it, and I can only imagine Delta possibly giving him a break-down of how things went wrong before, different options and alternate decisions, and then Theta simply saying "Just say you're sorry". It isn't empty advice either, because he KNOWS he's sorry, he just has no experience putting the action of honest apology into effect. Delta tries making him a percentage chart of how often a sincere apology helps things move forward, but Epsilon is still stuck on how he wouldn't need to apologize if he just hadn't messed up BEFORE, so he's mad that he feels guilty, and embarrassed that he's not BETTER, and Theta is still just very kindly reminding him to say SORRY

tucker having wash’s (new, sadly washed-out) colours at a point in the trailer is WILD of him. like by now we’ve gone a!church is dead -> try to replace him with e!church as in both a rebound and encouraging identity theft -> epsilon is gone -> try to replace him with wash as in both a rebound and encouraging identity theft -> wash is gone -> latching onto both felix and kimball as in “i need someone to fill the sad leader-shaped and jerk-with-a-heart-of-gold-shaped hole in my heart” rebound -> wash is back. yay! let’s not think about what i learned about how intense and obsessive i’m able to get over people i love -> epsilon is back. ASSHOLE -> epsilon is gone. ASSHOLE -> “what about the eroticism of parasitism. this is our body because i live in you” rebound with e!sigma but also some “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and identity theft is the sincerest expression of love” rerebound with the general concept of wash

Ok so.
The accepted symbol for animal folks is ΘΔ, right? delta for change (as in delta-vee in physics or the partial derivative in math) and theta for θηρίον, therion, "beast".
well, we can't all be biological KAREN not all nonhuman-feeling folks are animals, so that symbol is not universally applicable.
delta is fine as its meaning isn't locked to any specific aspect of identity, we just need a replacement for the theta.
For my a more general alternative, I propose epsilon, from ἕτερος, heteros, "different".
Thus, an announcement that one is nonhuman-identified would be an ε-δ proof.

Major Thaddaeus Scott Barker, PhD was called Scott by the few people that were allowed to use his first name. Almost always he was addressed as Major Barker. He was the administrator of a facility in a barren lifeless desert within the only nation state that had the resources to research what was being researched. Major Barker liked to think of this project as being the next stage of evolution. Not for mankind, but for the soldiers who would defend the freedom of the nation state.
The research was so secret that not even the elected leaders of the nation state were aware of its existence. All document detailing what was being accomplished at the facility stayed at the facility. No reports were filed with those individuals in the chain of command above Major Barker. Even the funds used to run the facility were buried so deep with each and every allocation of defense funds as to obscure them from discovery.
If anyone investigated the facility, they were informed it was a high tech secret weapon development facility. But nobody ever investigated. Nobody cared to know. Regardless, Major Barker filed reports to his superiors on the fictional weapons that were being developed at his facility. All of the reports generated culled information for other weapon development sites. Major Barker only padded them with hundreds of pages of pseudo-science to make the reports unreadable. Nobody even tried to read them.
The facility comprised fifty men and women with no less than one PhD who had been enticed to join the project by offering them a huge stipend in addition to their military pay. Several of the scientific staff had multiple PhDs. Of course, none of these individuals realized they would be so removed from civilization as to make it impossible to spend any money at all.
All fifty had been carefully selected by Major Barker over the years as the project needs grew. They had been given a battery of psychological and ethnics testing to ensure they would actively do what ever was necessary to participate in such advanced research. Their research required the use of human beings.
All fifty required some degree of additional mental conditioning to go from using rats and monkeys in their research to actually using men and women in their research. Every six months or so, ten to fifteen homeless individuals were harvested from various locations so they could be used in the research vital to the nation state’s defense. The fifty scientists had been fully condition to see these men and woman as inferior to them. A drain on the limited resources of their nation state.
These homeless individuals were viewed not as human but as ‘lab rats’ by the scientists. Only three (two women, one man) had objected to the use of human beings as lab rats. They had been removed from the project and placed in confinement. After months of being subjected to heavy brainwashing techniques which had been developed at the facility, all three returned to the project.
After ten years and some six hundred forty-two experiments on individuals, Major Barker had been invited to see the latest breakthrough. Previous research had managed to drain the human subjects of all of their humanity. Next, they succeeded in formatting their lab rats’ brains to obey all commands. Of course, the individual required each and every movement to be commanded. It was not enough to command, ‘eat food.’ Each and every step required to ‘eat food’ had to be commanded. An incredibly tedious and complex undertaking.
Today, Major Barker was to witness a man, who had once been a janitor at the facility, be controlled solely by external means. Lieutenant Ellenor Brooke Evans, PhD had developed an AI bot that could be programmed into a state of the art laptop that would be used to control the janitor. The AI bot would control everything the man did. The janitor had given his name to be one Victor Forbes. Of course, once he was selected as ‘lab rat’ he was given the designation Epsilon Victor Nine, or Victor Nine for short.
Major Barker was proud of Lieutenant Evans’ work. She was one of the three who had to be further encouraged to do what had to be done. Major Barker first saw her next to Victor Nine. She was ensuring all connections were tight. At one point she grabbed the smallish computer attached to Victor Nine’s scalp was secure.
Major Barker took the center seat in the control room. He leaned forward to depress the mic button. “Okay Evans, show me what you have done?”
As Major Barker waited for Lieutenant Evens to arrive into the control room, he marveled at the change in Victor Nine. The lab rat was totally nude except for the computer attached to its head and some other gadget attached to his left forearm. Victor Nine’s skin tone was silver, identical to the rest of the lab rats currently in use.
For just a second, Major Barker focus on the fifteen centimeter cock hanging in the man’s groin. It also was now colored silver. Major Barker’s mouth watered as he wondered if the cock was even functional. “I so could suck on that.” Major Barker thought to himself.
But what so amazed Major Barker was the complete change in Victor Nine. The once scrawny boy of nineteen who had never seen the inside of a gym and might have weighed in the sixty kilogram range had added no less than fifty kilograms of newly formed muscle.
Major Barker’s first question of Evans was, “How did you accomplish the muscles?”
Evan answered the question with another question, “How many push-ups do you want it to do, Sir?”
“Thirty six, in three groups of twelve.”
With that Evans pulled out a computer pad. Her fingers pressed multiple icons. Once completed, she reached over to activate the speaker which picked up the sounds of the room where Victor Nine was located.
Major Barked was amazed as he heard Victor Nine report, “Task downloading.” He was even more impressed as he watched Victor Nine fall to the floor and begin counting the pushups it was doing. “One. Two. Three.” And so forth.
When Victor nine announced the twelfth push up he paused slightly then continued. It began with “Two! Two. Three. Four.” And so forth.
Evans asked, “Would you be wanting any sit ups?”
Major Barker replied, “No. The push up are impressive enough. Return it to a standing position when it completes its current task.”
Evans inputted the necessary command via her computer pad. When Victor Nine returned to a standing position, Evans leaned over the computer panel in the control room. She clicked on the mic and in a commanding voice said, “Attention!”
Victor Nine’s stance stiffened. Evans then commanded, “Salute!” Victor Nine’s right arm performed a perfect salute. Evans then commanded “Not that salute. The REAL salute.”
It happened so fast that Major Barker did not notice Victor Nine’s right arm move to a position across his chest.
“Show allegiance to its superiors!”
Major Barker watched as Victor Nine knelt onto its left knee. It right arm still across its chest. It left hand on the floor. Its head firmly focused on just the floor.
Major Barker asked a simple question, “How?”
Evans then entered into a long monologue of how her team had created an AI Bot to control the lab rat. Then how they had reprogrammed nanobots that were used to drain the lab rats of what minimal humanity that had. Once the nanobots stripped the lab rats of their humanity, their memories, their ability to do anything other than what was commanded, the nanobots repurposed themselves to create multiple pathways in their now worthless brains into what would ultimately be controlled by the small computer that was attached on the left side of their skulls.
Evan’s finished her monologue with, “You see, Sir, the body that was once Victor Nine became just a component of the computer attached to its skull. The AI Bot became Victor Nine. The AI bot fully controls the organic body that was once Victor Nine. Victor Nine has no emotions. Victor Nine has no concept of good. It has no concept of evil. Nothing is taboo anymore. It sole function is to obey the commands that are given to it. If that is killing people who are protesting, then it kills. If that is eating shit, then it feasts on the shit.”
As if on cue, Victor Nine dropped a turd out of its ass. It then let loose a stream of urine. Major Barker gave Evans a disapproving look. He demanded, “Well, can you fix that issue?”
Evans simply replied, “My team is already on it, Sir! But in the interim, watch this!” Evans imputed various commands into her computer pad. Without warning, the door to the room where Victor Nine was house opened. Major Barker watched as another man who was destined to become a “lab rat” stand in the door way. The soon to be lab rat had given his name as Bailey McDonald. He reluctantly entered the room.
Bailey was currently being useful to the project by being a dishwasher in one of the dozens of restaurants the peppered the complex. It was about all the future lab rat could handle. His brain had been literally fried by the use of ecstasy. He was still pink and rosy as any human. He had not received the mind altering nanobots as of yet.
Bailey took a couple of reluctant steps into the room. Then he proclaimed, “Damn! What is that offal smell?” Before Bailey could back out of the room, the door slid shut behind him. Bailey barely noticed. His eyes were completely focused on Victor Nine.
Once again, the action was too fast for Major Barker to follow. The next thing his mind registered was Victor Nine standing over Bailey as Bailey was on the floor having what appeared to be a massive seizure. Major Barker noticed a small silver area on Bailey’s right neck and various streaks of silver running up the right side of his face.
Evans proudly stated, “You see, Sir, not only does the bot obey the commands it is given, but it also forcibly assists new lab rats into becoming like it has become. It only does this to what has been classified as ‘lab rats,’ but the definition of ‘lab rats’ can be altered to include members of the enemy’s military. The enemy combatants can now be easily converted into military assets for us with very little effort.”
Major Barker found himself crossing his legs, right over left. Not exactly a military bearing. But it did hide his growing hard-on. As he was doing so, he asked, “Okay Evans, what exactly do you need?” He paused a moment then continued, “First, can you do something about its cock and balls? And its excrement?”
“Already on it, Sir. If you follow me, Sir, I will show you what I require.”
Major Barker was led to a small conference room where Evans had laid out her proposals. She showed him the arm gauntlet that could be attached to a recharging station so that the nanobots in a soldiers body could be reenergized. Next came a huge collar for the soldier that allowed new nanobots to be slowly and consistently injected into the body of the soldier. She also detailed how the pituitary gland would be coopted to produce massive amount of human growth hormones as well as other hormones that would improve a soldier’s strength and agility.
Evans continued by detailing how the nanobots would receive and distribute all the energy the soldier required. How waste products produced by the soldiers body were to be repurpose back into usable components for its body. The soldiers’ bodies would no longer require a GI system so the GI system would be shut down. Its renal system would be remade as just another focal point where waste was recreated into usable substances for the soldier’s body.
Lastly, Evan detailed the fact that obedience to command would be a driving force in the soldier’s programming. As such, sexual intercourse would no longer be permitted. Two presentation drawings showed first a man and then a woman private area. The next drawing showed how both male and female sexual organs would be ‘co-opted’ to supply a continual orgasmic state in the selected soldiers.
This ‘adaptation’ required all sexual organs to be removed. In order to stimulate the euphoric state that will be maintained in the soldiers, various nanobots would construct the necessary circuitry required to stimulate the nerve ending that had once been in their groins. Over this would lay a silver metallic ‘girdle’ that covered not only their groins but their abdomens as well.
Major Barker inputted a few directives into his own computer pad. By doing so Major Barker assigned seven teams to turn their attention to producing what Lieutenant Evans requested. Without understanding what he had done, Major Barket determined the fate of the occupants of the facility as well as the fate of the citizens of his planet. It may have been an insignificant backwater planet in the outer reaches of the galaxy, but it would play an ever increasing role in the quadrant that had been classified as Alpha by the inhabitants of this backwater planet.
Three months later, Major Baker requested an update from the newly promoted Captain Evans. She escorted him to the surface above the complex. Here they watched as a group of fifteen enhanced soldiers engaged in a battle with three platoons of battle harden non-assimilated soldiers. Over one hundred thirty men against fifteen solider drones. The human soldiers did not have a chance. Their real bullets were deflected by the electronic shield produced by the fifteen enhanced soldiers. One by one the battle hardened human soldiers were defeated by the enhanced soldiers.
One by one the human soldiers were added to the ranks of enhanced soldiers. Major Baker saw that his nation’s security would be maintained. He was more than pleased with what Captain Evans had accomplished.
Eight months later, a man, who fit the description of Major Baker was admitted to a psych ward in a major hospital to the southeast of the complex Major Baker commanded. Except the medical staffed at this hospital were unable to get any information from the man dressed in the uniform of the nation state’s army.
The medical staff watched as the man rocked back and forth screaming, “It’s too late. They’re here. They are here. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. They are here. They are here. They are here. They are here. They are here. They are here. They are here. They are here. They are here. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. They are here. They are here. They are here. They are here. They are here. They are here. They are here. They are here. They are here. It’s too late. They are here!”
The man was presented multiple questions. He only stopped his hysterical rants when he was asked, “Who is here?”
The man that had once been Major Barker made eye contact with the person questioning him. He then simply said, “The Borg!” He paused for only a few more seconds, then he returned to his hysterical rants, “It’s too late. They’re here. They are here. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. They are here. They are here. They are here. They are here. They are here. They are here. They are here. They are here. They are here. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. It’s too late. They are here. They are here. They are here. They are here. They are here. They are here. They are here. They are here. They are here. It’s too late. They are here!”
The medical staff of the hospital were ill prepared to resist the Borg when they attacked the facility. One by one, the medical staff who had been classified as ‘lab rats’ by the AI Bot in charge were assimilated into the growing hive mind of The Collective.
The local reserve national guard was called up to defend the desert state from the attack of this new…this new… The Borg. The soldiers of the reserve unit found that even their newly deployed laser weaponry was no match for this new force. The Borg easily assimilated the the reserve soldiers who had been reclassified as ‘lab rats.’
The president of the nation state called for the deployment of nuclear weapons against this new internal threat. When she called for an update after the order to deploy was issued, she was shown multiple photos of soldiers in their missile bunkers staring mindlessly at nothing.
All she asked was “How?” When a suitable answer was not given, she asked if there was at least one nuclear sub still under her command. She again was shown photo after photo of men and women just staring at nothing. She then deployed what few military assets that were still at her command. She along with the Joint Chiefs watch each individual soldier was easily ‘assimilated’ into The Collective.
Never one to give up hope, she retreated to the bunker underneath the residence of the President. She commanded her Joint Chiefs to do the same underneath their own fortress across the river from her residence. She watched in horror as the Admiral of her Navy shot his brains out. Then she watched as each and every one in the bunker were ‘assimilated.’
Even with this, she issued commands to military units that no longer existed. She maintained the fight even if it was on paper until the soldiers invaded her own bunker. When it was evident, she would fail in all her efforts, she reached for the gun on the table before her. She had just raised it to her temple when a soldier grabbed her hair and injected her right neck with nanobots. She sank to the floor.
Thousands of voices filled her mind. Welcoming her to The Collective. She felt euphoric to be part of something greater than herself. She gave all her secrets to the Collective. The Collective knew all she knew. Not only the defenses of her own nation state, but the defenses of the nation states that comprised the organization to which her nation state belonged.
Her presidential aid, Robert Alton Wendell the Third, also fell to the soldiers of The Collective. The man that had once demanded he be call Robert or Mr. Wendell became Thirty-Fourth of Forty. He tried to resist. He wanted to resist. He could not resist the siren voices of The Collective. Thirty-Fourth of Forty was easily led away to it destiny as a drone in The Collective. He was assisted to a military transport provided by the newly assimilated Second Marine Assault Amphibian Battalion. He was beyond resistance. The euphoria that the injected nanobots produced in his weak body ensured his full cooperation.
Thirty-Fourth of Forty of Unimatrix One Nine Six Three followed its instruction once it had reach the newly constructed assimilation complex at a former hospital named after the man who had ensured his country’s independence. What little remained of Mr. Wendell observed the transformation of all those individuals that were in the Presidential bunker.
Mr. Wendell observed limbs being removed from his colleagues. Mr. Wendell observed the placement of new mechanical limbs. Mr. Wendell also observed the castration of men with whom he had served. Every time he witnessed a limb amputated. A penectomy performed. A castration inflicted. New control devices attached to someone that had formally been a valued colleague. His body would be flooded with euphoria.
By the time that that he placed himself on the assimilation table he welcomed the alterations of his body. He presented his right arm forward. On his right arm was placed a new mechanical limb. His right eye was replaced with a new visual unit. He could now see an enhanced spectrum of light. His right ear was replaced with a could detect wave forms of sound far below his former threshold of sound and detect sounds that barely would have registered to his former pathetic brain.
His sexual organs were removed or transformed. His muscles were enhance. When his assimilation was completed, he welcomed his designations of Thirty-Fourth of Forty Primary Assimilator of Unimatrix One Nine Six Three.
It was dispatched to the hordes of “lab rats” who have yet to be assimilated. The Collective to which it belongs selected a “lab rat” at random. That “lab rat” would be enhance. Augmented. Enslaved. One of the many that were the one.
Their efforts expanded north and south. East and west until no continent was untouched. Thirty-Fourth of Forty was transported to where it was required. It assimilated thousands of “lab rats.” With each “lab rat” assimilated, it received a flood of euphoric producing endorphins. Robert Alton Wendell the Third finally accepted defeat and ceased all resistance.
Deep in an underground bunker that was the origin of The Collective, First of Three, formally Captain Ellenor Brooke Evans, PhD, with the assistance of the team at the once top secret facility, began to slowly piece together all the research that was available from various research lab. First of Three laid out the necessary plans in order to construct the first ‘faster than light’ warp drive starship. First of Three cracked the light barrier easily. Only the passengers of the warp vehicle did not survive. They had been crushed against the walls of the ship at it accelerated towards light speed. It was a small price to pay for the advancement of The Collective.
Ninth of Nine, formerly Major Thaddaeus Scott Barker, PhD, combined the massive data on inertia dampeners to provide First of Three the break through it required. Within five circumnavigations of their backwater planet around its star, a warp three space craft had been developed. It was in the shape of a perfect cube. It was manned by sixteen million seven hundred seventy-seven thousand two hundred sixteen drones. All with one mission: assimilate the lab rats!
Three circumnavigations around the star where they had originated, Thirty-Fourth of Forty Primary Assimilator of Unimatrix One Nine Six Three, exited the interstellar space craft to begin the assimilation of a new world. It greeted the delegation sent to ‘welcome’ it to their humble planet. Twenty-four ‘hand shakes’ later and the entire ‘welcome’ delegation had been brought under the control of Thirty-Fourth of Forty.
In an unplanned departure from protocol, Thirty-Fourth of Forty was introduced to the leader of the military who protected the Leader of the largest dictatorship on the planet. When Thirty-Fourth of Forty was introduced to the Leader, it saluted the Leader in the manner that was required: hand across its chest, then its arm raised forty-five degrees exactly directly in front of it.
This planet had three sexes, not two. Those who would equate to male or female had been classified as inferior. As such they were subjugated by the third sex which were classified as the Superior Sex. Upaemien The Rejuvenator was a member of this third sex. It ruled with an iron will. It sent any and all who objected to its rule to the various work camps or death camps where they were literally worked or gassed to death.
By the time Thirty-Fourth of Forty was presented to Upaemien The Rejuvenator six thousand, four hundred sixty-two members of its government had already been brought under the control of The Hive Mind.
Nine of Twelve and Three of Five had been sent to the other two dictatorships. They also brought into their control the members of those governments and members of the military guard who protected the leaders of those nation states.
By the time the primary star rose over the eastern most provinces under the domain of Upaemien The Rejuvenator six million nine hundred forty six thousand seven hundred forty-two citizens of the planet had been brought under the direct control of The Hive Mind including Upaemien The Rejuvenator, Saelazar The Risen, and Umaeyor The Soulreaper.
Assimilation centers had also been constructed in thirty-nine locations. Within twenty-two rotations of the planet four billion six hundred forty-two million nine hundred fourteen thousand one hundred sixteen citizens were added to The Hive Mind. The subjugation of the planet was accomplished.
Two billion two hundred nineteen thousand nine hundred twenty-one citizens of the planet were sent to the disintegration chambers located within they assimilation centers. Their brains were resistant to assimilation. It was necessary for The Collective to eliminate them.
The Cube which had been dispatched to this star system was then dispatched to the next star system that showed a potential for life. New cubes were being constructed in the prime solar system as well as the newly assimilated solar system. These cubes would be dispatched to other star systems.
Individual by individual, group by group, nation by nation, planet by planet, The Borg conquered all. The Borg began to assimilate new scientific knowledge rather than spend resources on scientific development. With each planet assimilated or even each ship assimilated the knowledge base of The Borg increased.
Within one thousand circumnavigations of the planet around the star where The Borg had originated, The Borg had started their conquest of the Beta and Gamma Quadrants which were adjacent to the quadrant of space the contained their Primary star system. Each and every star system assimilated where unable to resist The Borg. They were unstoppable.
Until…until…they encountered a star system that managed to reject them. A story for another time. until then, “We are the Borg. Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to us. You will be adapted to serve us. Lower your defenses, surrender your selves to us. You will be rewarded as you become one with us.”

What a difference 50 years makes juxtaposition of Buick Century Regal Colonnade Hardtop Sedan, 1974 & Buick Regal, 2024. The original Regal was introduced as a flagship version of the Century, becoming a stand alone model in 1976. It used the then new GM A-body platform and used GM's 350ci (5.7 litre) V8 with a 455ci (7.5 litre) V8 optional, both driving through a 3-speed automatic gearbox. The facelifted Regal for the Chinese market is based on the now discontinued 2nd generation Opel Insignia using GM's Epsilon II platform powered by a choice of turbocharged 1.5-litre or 2.0-litre 4 cylinder engines, both using a 9-speed automatic gearbox

Yall are so wrong about the chorus trilogy. They literally have locus and Felix parallel Carolina and Washington.
They have overlapping strengths that make them equal matches for each other in fights and just in general, but their flaw/struggles? flipped.
Carolina is constantly overestimating her abilities, especially in the chorus trilogy. She is using Epsilon to fulfill a gap between her ability and her perception of herself. That's literally felix's whole struggle in the chorus trilogy! That he continues to fail and uses Locus as a crutch to maintain his view of himself. They both are capable on their own but they constantly push boundaries beyond their own limits. They don't really interact with each other or affect each other's choices but the parallel is definitely intentional.
Washington and Locus are very much the same way! Washington made the poor choices he's made because he felt like he had to. Even with Washington not being a "good soldier" during freelancer, that parallels Locus too.
During the trial flashback Locus is arguing with what the group is doing, he was an idealist out of his depth! Like Washington was. I'd argue that's why Locus gets so obsessed with Washington. He doesn't understand why they have such a similar background but Washington is able to be so detached from the system that turned him into a soldier. He thinks Washington is stupid for it, and once he starts having doubts about if maybe *he's* wrong he tries to kill and avoid Washington at all costs. He hates how unaffected Wash is.
Then! He tries to turn his attention to Maine, surely a perfect weapon that wanted to be that way that he can use to justify his choices! Then price shuts that down, says Maine just wanted to be human.
Locus has to look somewhere else for why he is the monster he is. He tries to see what makes Felix stay the way he is, in the same boat, only to find out that it's him. That they keep eachother like this, The thing his trial was trying to tell him, and more importantly that Felix can't keep him like this if he just chooses to stop.
Its just so.. not about Washington.
That's also ignoring the very obvious reason why he gets focused on Wash instead of Carolina. (He's gay)

I need some content for Leonardo L. Church right now! So can I ask for a romantic concept of him? :3
Sure! I wasn't sure what form of Church you wanted (Alpha or Epsilon) so I did a general concept of Alpha! Church. If something is OOC, my bad, it's been a bit since I've seen him in the show.
Yandere! Leonard L. Church Concept
(The Alpha)
Pairing: Romantic
Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Manipulation, Controlling behavior, Jealousy/Possessive behavior, Clingy behavior, Denial, Brief stalking mention, Isolation, Threats/Intimidation mentioned, Dubious/Forced relationship.
Tumblr media
Church is probably the most sane one of the Blood Gulch crew.
Both teams, too.
He's serious about his job and is baffled by the incompetence and insane events that happen around him.
Considering how he's an AI and the entirety of Blood Gulch is a fake scenario... can't entirely blame him.
Church's response to a lot of things is anger and frustration.
He tries not to know others emotionally, hates it when others can read him, and just doesn't seem to like people.
Or at the very least... hates the ones around him most of the time (Reds and Blues).
Despite being volatile, he is still a leader and a compassionate/caring person at times.
Church would come off cold towards his obsession at first.
As said before, he wouldn't want to be involved with anyone closely.
Especially if he's still having trouble with feelings towards Texas.
He seems dismissive with you, even if you're more rational than the rest.
Sometimes he feels he's babysitting Blue Team... sometimes even Red Team.
Seeing you react so rationally would surprise Church... but he respects it.
Church may like you because you seem to be... sane.
As his bond with you progresses, Church begins to be less cold towards you.
He expresses care towards you in private.
Around the others, Church still seems frustrated, annoyed, and cold.
But with you? Church feels he can have a genuine conversation with you without feeling angry.
It's... a nice change.
Church seems like the type of person to get jealous to the point of being petty.
In a way he feels the others don't entirely deserve to speak with you.
They're all dumb... so the fact you try to form a connection with them irritates Church.
He seems like the type of yandere to give the silent treatment, respond with sass/backhanded comments, or something similar.
He'd rather it just be you and him speaking with one another.
Caboose is an idiot, Tucker's a flirt, he doesn't even want to bring up Red Team...
He just wants you to focus on him and talk to him.
As petty as he is, he'll get over it since he can't seem to leave you alone.
You feel so genuine to him.
Something within him is drawn to you, like...
Love.
This has got to be love...!
At first even Church is in denial of it.
Yet even Caboose and Tucker know he's infatuated... his visor never leaves you.
Caboose has a childish view of Church's obsession, often mentioning it as a "crush".
Tucker often says to Church to go for you.
If Church doesn't... Tucker may ask you out himself.
When Tucker said such a thing... Church nearly lunged at him.
Church probably uses his sniper to watch you when you're not at base.
He tries really hard not to call it "stalking".
Tucker thinks otherwise, of course... but Church doesn't care.
Church is... awkward with expressing his newfound emotions.
All he really has to work with is memories of Texas.
As a result, I imagine he's awkward with making moves.
Things like flirting or affection aren't easy with him.
He often apologizes to you that he's so angry all the time.
Yet you can tell he holds some unknown amount of care towards you when he tries to be physically affectionate or just talk with you.
Church seems controlling at times due to his jealousy.
His jealousy makes him possessive, but he tries to hide it.
Church may try to be subtle with isolating you.
The others on Blue Team know how much Church is obsessed with you... as creepy as it is.
Yet Church never seems to listen to what they say... even when they try to show concern for you.
Church doesn't even want Red Team near you.
Often he's happy if it's just you and him in the base.
Towards others he isn't necessarily violent.
He'll threaten others to back off from you... but he probably won't kill over his obsession.
Church doesn't force you into anything when it comes to affection.
He waits patiently for you to reciprocate.
He just knows you will in the end.
It'll just take... time.
Church often tests the waters with you, small touches and things but nothing overly intimate (He's an AI/Robot... can he even...? Nevermind....).
If you push away, he backs off... if you don't...
Well, then he can continue this "relationship" with you....
Church feels his darling is the only one who doesn't annoy him... the only one who understands him... soon enough, the only one for him.
You're the only one who feels like an actual sane human being to him... which is ironic considering his true nature and intentions.
