McCoy traveled heavy— a tricorder over his shoulder, plus phaser, communicator AND medical kit on his hip (it’s a wonder his pants stayed up). He had so much stuff to keep track of, no wonder he left his phaser behind in “A Piece of the Action”.
Look how big the medi-kit is on his body! In the picture above, how does he stand up without getting on all fours (especially sitting the way he is)?

Galileo Galilei: Story Preview
This is simply a fan translation and is not intended as a replacement for the game. Expect grammatical errors. Not 100% accurate.
The door that transcends time marked the beginning of our intertwined destinies.
I wandered through a garden adorned with crimson flowers and encountered a man.
He was Galileo Galilei, a man with beautiful amethyst eyes.
As I began to have strange dreams, I encountered him again in the garden.
Mitsuki: "-----!"
Galileo: "It seems you still don't understand."
Galileo: "What use is it to heal your sorrow? What can someone like you, who has no power, do?"
Mitsuki: "Is destroying the world what you really want?"
I came to know the intense hatred he harbored and his goal of destruction.
-----------------------------------
Galileo: "You occasionally have that look in your eyes."
He slightly grimaced.
Galileo: "Fine. If you're going to talk like you know what you're talking about, you might as well see for yourself."
Galileo: "See for yourself what I am trying to do and what I desire."
Life in the hideout began like a game of wits.
(See for myself...?)
-----------------------------------
What I saw there was his figure searching for something using the door.
Mitsuki: "Galileo, are you okay? Your complexion is pale, and you suddenly一"
Galileo: "Don't touch me."
Galileo: "Right now, I'm here at this point. Mark the direction I specify from here."
At another time, I saw him standing vacantly in the garden.
Drake: "He hasn't noticed it himself."
Mitsuki: "Huh?"
Drake: "He's been trapped unconsciously for a long time without realizing it."
Drake: "Where that red flower is blooming. Underneath that一"
The way things appear changes from moment to moment, like the waxing and waning of the moon.
His cruelty and fragility, displaying contrasting expressions, swayed my heart.
I want to get closer to Galileo.
I want to know the truth about him, but I inadvertently touch the depths of his forbidden heart.
Mitsuki: "You know the pain and sorrow of loss, but you refuse to face what's happening now because you are a coward, Galileo."
Galileo: "Shut up!"
Something sharp pierced through my skin, penetrating me.
Galileo: "What do you understand? What do you know about me!?"
(No matter how much I try to get to know him, if he hates me so much he wants to kill me, then...)
All battered and bruised, we bumped into each other and hurt each other, yet I still reached out to find his truth.
Galileo: "A lunar eclipse is coming soon. Let's end this twisted fate and all these bloodstained mistakes."
And when his wish is fulfilled, what I can convey to him is the course of these budding feelings.
Galileo: "I love you. Your love is my truth, and you are my last star of hope."
I still don't know the endless sorrow reflected in your amethyst eyes, but I will find the truth about you, which you want to destroy alone.

How is the average vulcan faring in a saw trap, you know? You might say "they'd crush it, obviously" and yeah for a solo trap they would. It's only logical to prefer to gouge out your eyeballs or whatever to death, and they have the physical and mental fortitude to follow through. But those aren't actually the main type of trap featured in the films. What about the two-person kill-or-be-killed type trap? Vulcan philosophy definitely allows for killing in the defense of yourself or others, but this isn't killing a person trying to cause you harm, it's just the other poor innocent schmuck stuck in the trap with you. Does it matter if they attack you first? In the og saw, amanda young has to kill a man who's drugged and incapacitated to save her own life. Would a vulcan do that? It's immoral, but I think all but the ones most dedicated to the teachings of surak would. Even vulcans want to survive, after all. But where you get the really juicy shit is a sole vulcan in a group trap a la saw 2, saw 5, and jigsaw. We all saw the galileo seven, after all. What about an even more high-stress, high-stakes situation? It's highly likely the group would turn on a vulcan trying to be a calm and dispassionate voice of reason in a saw trap. Especially in a situation where they can't all survive and have to choose someone to die. A vulcan would be trying to logically deduce who should die, which I don't think the rest of the group would take kindly to. I could easily see a vulcan dying fairly early in a group trap bc of the group killing them or leaving them to die, maybe even thinking that they're with the jigsaw killer. However, group traps tend to be the ones most heavily involving riddles, clues or puzzles, which of course a vulcan would be really good at. I could conversely see a vulcan surviving out of sheer usefulness to the group. It really depends on the specifics of the trap and the personalities of the people in it. Anyway, a vulcan, a klingon, a ferengi, a betazoid, and a human walk into a saw trap,

Hi.! I'd love to see a Leo x Fem reader story after the Kraang evasion when Leo is healing and Leo won't let the reader leave the bed.! The reader would have Fem pro nouns. And while snuggling in leo's bed, his brothers would call the reader over. And Leo would not let go of her. And the brothers would stumble upon them, laughing and snapping photos. You can choose the ending.! Fluff is so cute <3
I heard fluff and here we are :) I hope you enjoy this, lovely anon!
|| ᴜɴᴡᴇʟᴄᴏᴍᴇ ɪɴᴛᴇʀʀᴜᴘᴛɪᴏɴ || ʀɪꜱᴇ! ʟᴇᴏ x ʀᴇᴀᴅᴇʀ ||
[ 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 ]
"Noooo," Leo whines as you wiggle in his arms like a fish out of water. He holds you tighter, hands on your waist, burying his head into your shoulder while you giggle.
"Babe," You say with a hint of chiding, but he grumbles.
"I saved the world. I should at least get this."
You shake your head with a sigh, though the smile on your lips reassures him that you're not serious when he peeks an eye open to check. You reluctantly give up, shifting your position to get more comfortable in his embrace.
Your hand reaches up, cradling his cheek as he leans into your gentle touch with a churr. Your thumb brushes against his cheek, lips slightly pursed when you take in the number of bruises and scratches that litter his skin.
Your eyes are soft, recalling moments ago when you were all fighting against the Kraang threatening to take over the world. Your boyfriend had bravely fought back against the captain while you were helping Mikey and Donnie, barely managing to escape.
Leo hums, glancing at you with a warm smile as he nuzzles his snout against your neck. You giggle, the ticklish sensation making you smile. "I'm so tired, princess." He complains.
"Yeah, alien invasions tend to be rather draining," You say sarcastically, though your nose scrunches when he scowls playfully at you.
"Hey, I just defeated them and brought Raph back, and even became an unintentional mentor, all with saving the world on the side!" He reminds you yet again. You roll your eyes with a sheepish smile. At least now you know what he'll be holding over everyone's heads for the next month.
"Right, right. My bad, you poor, poor baby." You coo, squishing his cheeks together and pressing a quick kiss to his lips in an attempt to placate him. He frowns at first from your teasing, but his furrowed brows relax when your lips brush against his, a silly smile stretching across his lips when you pull away.
"I know what you're doing, and it's working," He grumbles.
"Hey, y/n!" You hear Raph call out from the living room. You move to get up, only for your boyfriend to refuse to let you go, choosing to tug you against his plastron with a sly smile.
"Leooo," You groan in protest, lightly slapping his plastron. He shakes his head stubbornly, burying his face into your hair. You sigh, pressing a quick kiss against his shoulder.
"Yeah?" You shout back from your (rather pleasant) prison.
"Kinda need you over here!" Mikey yells in response.
You glance from Leo's closed eyes and sly smile to the room's entrance. You try to wiggle once more before giving up when he doesn't budge an inch.
"Can't right now. Can it wait?"
You hear footsteps getting closer, cheeks flushing, when you see their shadows approach. Donnie's the first to spot the both of you, peeking inside before he dry-heaves at the sight of you in his brother's arms.
"Oh god, Galileo, my innocent eyes!" He cries out in despair, hands pressed against the wall as he tries to suppress his disgusted gags.
Raph and Mikey poke their heads past the wall to see Leo's room, only to laugh once they see your trapped position on Leo's bed.
"Looks like Leo's got a new teddy bear," Raph guffaws, though he secretly finds it cute as he pulls out his phone and snapping a picture of you two.
"What are you, flypaper?" Mikey giggles, and in true brotherly fashion, Leo glares at them.
"Someone get me to the eyewash station; I've been contaminated, contaminated, I say!" Donnie groans, swaying slightly as his expression becomes more nauseous with each word.
You scoff at the poor virgin, rolling your eyes before kicking it up a notch by pressing a sudden kiss against Leo's cheek. He looks down at you with wide eyes, though a euphoric grin slowly makes its way onto his face. You link your arms around his neck, winking at him. "Kinda busy with my hero right now."
Leo's blush from his brother's comments has just begun to ebb away, but Donnie's loud, strangled screech makes him groan loudly, hanging his head as red coats his cheeks in embarrassment.
"Okay, everyone out!" He yells, glaring at all his brothers, who leave with giggles and in Donnie’s case, wails of disgust with a sly grin mixed in.
He collapses back onto his bed with an exhausted groan, and you rub his arms with a comforting smile. He wraps his arms around you again, wanting nothing more than uninterrupted time with his girlfriend in his tired state.
"Aww," You murmur, kissing his cheek again with a tender smile. He grins down at you, all embarrassment from earlier leaving without a trace as he settles back into the comfortable atmosphere between you both.
You continue to cuddle with him, gently stroking his shell as his churrs slowly turn into slow breaths. He dozes off quickly, and you let out a content hum, your eyelids becoming heavy as your thoughts become sluggish.
"Rest well," You whisper before your eyes finally close, dozing off with him.

Ocs playing minecraft dynamic go
Oo good one-
🦅 Galileo - really just spends his whole time building a little house with a beautiful flower garden and what not, does his best to help anyone out and even has a little set of chests where others can pick things out and stuff. Really just number one Minecraft dad
🦅 Storvis - entire time grinding (even if he’s meh at it since he’s too hardheaded to listen to tips or anything) and getting the best gear he can, will grief anyone who gets in his way. Do NOT ask his ass for help, he will bully you and then exterminatus your base. Often steals all the stuff out of Galileo’s chests and makes fun of his flower garden- doesn’t dare touch it tho, made the mistake of blowing it up once and was nearly obliterated in game and then in real life—
⚙️ Kallisch (mantis Magos) and L-319 (Crab Logis) - they don’t play too much but when they do they kind of just follow one another around on mining trips and put their beds together all the time. Sometimes you’ll find these huge mega structures they built solely out of like copper blocks of the cog mechanicum or something nerdy ass shit like that
⚙️ ‘Delta’ (Beetle Explorator) - sole purpose is to travel as far as they can manage, huge nether railways all neatly labeled with names they made up and shit. Probably has some underground bunker they made just filled with a “living Pokédex” of every mob in the game and such ( something like this )
⚙️ Thanatos (Dominus centipede) - K I L L . not as much of an asshole as Storvis is but much more calculated. Has his weapons and armor min maxed with their enchantments and has done so many raids he has just a fucking sea of totems of undying, had killed the ender dragon single handedly several times and in so many different ways with such horrific efficiency it would make any sort of Minecraft YouTuber cry at the title possibilities. Has this mega base that’s armed to the teeth with booby traps, just loaded with beacons too bc he’s probably got a Wither farm or some shit. I pray for the soul who wants to PvP him, not even Storvis dares
⚙️ Rure (Silverfish Logis) - doesn’t really understand how the game works, mostly just hides out by Galileo, he thinks the flowers are pretty though and the bees are neat! Has little collection of wolves Galileo helped him tame and builds them dog houses (Galileo showed them). Figured out you can name animals and fish up name tags so they spend a lot of time doing that. Living their best life really
#sniffle thank you so much 🥺#warhammer 40k#wh40k#lazy text#lazy answers#lazy’s ocs#wh40k oc#admech#log & explr#commissar ocs#commissar storvis#commissar galileo#commissar 40k

Maybe you could do #55 with ler!Leo and lee!Donnie? It feels like something Leo would say.
That's What Brothers Are For
Summary: Donnie's a little stuck with this project, but thankfully, Leo is always willing to help out.
Author's note: Thank you for the prompt anon! You know I'm the biggest sucker for lee!Donnie, this was so much fun to create! I hope y'all enjoy!
Warnings: This fic contains tickling, proceed with that knowledge however you see fit!
Word count: 1,149
55. "Whoa! I didn’t expect that much of a reaction."
"I mean, I still don't think it matters at the end of the day," Leo said, swinging his legs over the edge of the counter he sat on.
Donnie hummed to show that he was listening, at least a bit. He had been working on the web-shooting oozesquito catcher for longer than he wanted to admit. Working with Big Mama's webs had proven to be trickier than he expected, but the device was coming along. It had previous issues with the occasional misfire, but Donnie's most recent adjustment should have fixed that. In fact, now it was exactly how he envisioned it.
"Unbelievable. It's like you're not even listening to me," Leo said suddenly, as Donnie observed his invention with bated breath.
"I think I... I think I got it! It was about time—"
Thwip. A web shot unprompted from the device and hit Donnie's left hand, securing his wrist to the table. He slammed his free hand on the table with a frustrated groan.
Leo snickered behind his fist, sliding off of the counter to aid his brother. "Relax, maybe you should take a break? You'll get it to work."
"Not if it traps us instead of the oozesquitoes," Donnie deadpanned, tugging his webbed hand uselessly. Even though he didn't stomp his feet and huff whenever his tech didn't work properly these days, Leo could see the frustration and disappointment climbing.
Leo jostled the device, which shot another web that whizzed past Donnie's head before splatting against the wall.
"Leon! Don't touch anything, just—leave it alone!" Donnie said. He dropped his head down onto the cold table, breathing through the desire to set his entire lab on fire.
Leo laughed, clutching his sides and wiping tears of mirth from his eyes, much to Donnie's dismay. "Okay, okahay, let me help you..."
Donnie waited for Leo's "help" that never came. He picked his head up inquisitively, seeing a mischievous smirk on Leo's face. Donnie pulled again at his webbed hand, backing away in his spinny chair anxiously. "L-Leo?"
"I mean, come on, Don! It's just too easy," Leo said, gesturing to Donnie's current position. "Besides, you're so frustrated with your invention, I think you could use a little break."
"Don't you dare, Nardo," Donnie said, giggles bubbling up as he tried to inch his spinny chair farther away from his twin looming over him.
Leo sucked in a long breath through his teeth and held his hands up defensively. "Sorry DonTon, my hands are tied, I mean... you see why I have to, right?" He dragged his fingers over the sides of Donnie's shell, not sounding quite as apologetic as he claimed to be.
Donnie's giggles burst forward and he tried to twist away from the offending hands, but his trapped hand offered little leeway. "N-Noho yohohou dohon't, Leohoho!"
Leo smirked at his brother's predicament, bringing his hands up to poke at Donnie's neck. The giggles died down a bit, but the genius still flinched at every prod. "You're just sooo ticklish, DonTon, it's really your own fault."
"Thahahat doesn't—AHhahaha!"
Leo cut him off with a few well-placed squeezes to the thighs, and it took everything Donnie had in him not to scream. His knees hit the underside of the table before he slid out of his chair and onto the ground in a futile attempt to escape Leo's attack. However, his left hand still stayed secured to the table.
"Oh perfect! Thanks DonTon, this makes things much easier," Leo said, wiggling his fingers into Donnie's exposed underarm. And good Galileo, did that tickle so much.
"N-Nahahardo!" His brain short-circuited from the overwhelming tickly sensations. All he could do was laugh and frantically flail his free arm, which did manage to land a few hits to Leo's face.
"Do you feel less stressed, brother?" Leo asked innocently while he dodged Donnie's flying arm.
"Pff—yehehehes, fihihine!"
Leo stopped his attack, laughing alongside his giggly twin. "Okay, ohohokay, I'm done! I just couldn't stand to see you so grumpy."
Donnie breathed through the residual giggles as the gears in his brain started turning properly again. He punched Leo's shoulder with a halfhearted glare. "N-Noho, not grumpy, just working. When your insufferable brother interrupts your important project, you'll understand."
"I'll let you know if he does, but he's still stuck to a table right now," Leo said, punctuating his sentence by flipping Donnie's goggles over his eyes.
Donnie flipped the goggles back up with a huff. "If you don't mind, I was in the middle of something."
"Lemme help you."
"Nardo," Donnie said in a warning tone when Leo reached for his trapped wrist.
"Relax, I'm not gonna tickle you, I'm just gonna un-stick you—"
"Stop! You... You're going to anyways!"
"Oh, so you mean to tell me your arms are ticklish too?"
Donnie groaned, rubbing his temple with his free hand. "It doesn't matter, just—"
"Dude, is there anywhere that you aren't ticklish?"
"Never mind!" Donnie scowled as Leo burst into uncontrollable laughter yet again. He waited for his twin to calm down before he tried to continue. "Look, you don't have to—"
"Allow me, hermano," Leo said suddenly, grabbing Donnie's forearm and trying to worm his fingers between where the webs met Donnie's skin.
The reaction was instant: Donnie's head dropped back and his free hand flew to his mouth, holding back an avalanche of frantic giggles. His feet drummed against the floor in an effort to release some of the ticklish energy that was building up.
"Whoa!" Leo said, pulling the web off of Donnie's arm slowly, "I didn’t expect that much of a reaction!"
Donnie wanted to say something snarky in return, but he couldn't trust himself not to succumb to the giggles if he opened his mouth at all. Leo's fingers traced all over his forearm (seemingly aimlessly at times) only briefly interrupted when he moved to pull webs from Donnie's hand.
"Hang on, stop moving," Leo said, freeing Donnie's hand with one last quick tickle to his palm, earning a gasp from his twin.
Donnie wasted no time rubbing away the tingling sensation on his arm. He glared at his brother, but the small smile pulling at his mouth betrayed him. He punched Leo's shoulder again with his newly-freed hand. "This is why you're not allowed in my lab," he said flatly.
Leo flipped the goggles once more as he got up to leave. "You're the one who lets me in every time."
Donnie fixed his goggles and rubbed his wrist, easing the queasy feeling from the web touching his skin. "I would have gotten it myself."
"Sure you would've," Leo called back on his way out of the lab.
Donnie rolled his eyes and got back to the task at hand. Though he would never say it out loud, Leo's idea of taking a break was a good idea. Probably Leo's first good idea ever.

Hey FRC people!
I'm bored and tired of packing for Houston, so I thought I'd do a quick writeup of some Ontarian teams that'll be there! Hopefully you can find some new teams to watch and watch out for. Do note that this post is NOT a suitable replacement for good pit scouting. Teams may have fixed their robots from the last time I saw them compete. Also, these are not all the ontario teams, just the ones I've seen play so far. With that out of the way, let's start with...
Team 2056: OP Robotics
They certainly live up to their name.
Statbotics Rank: 1
FUN Rank: 2
EPA: 58.9
Common name: OP
Last event I saw them at: Ontario DCMP
Division: Galileo
I mean, what else is there to say about them that hasn't been said before? OP Robotics has always been a top competitor in Ontario, let alone the whole world. They have an incredibly well designed robot, with one of the cleanest swerves I've ever seen. Sure, they can't trap, but they can make up for it by a mile with the metric ton of notes they put out. There are a few chinks in the armor: the aforementioned trap, a slightly slow amp shot, and how their robot can pretty easily be pushed around, but who cares? They certainly don't. Did I forget their former world record of 155 clean?
Team 2200: MMRambotics
Ramming through the competition.
Statbotics Rank: 69 (nice)
FUN Rank: 46
EPA: 38.5
Common name: Rambotics
Last event I saw them at: Ontario DCMP
Division: Curie
Sleek, compact, and fast as hell. Rambotics have been a top contender in Ontario for a long time now, and it's easy to see why. They can trap, 5 note, and has one of the fastest amp shots. Very, VERY scary team to go up against. They've had some consistency issues throughout the season, unfortunately. However, that does not stop them from being a major threat on whatever alliance they're on. My advice? Just cycle.
Team 3683: Team DAVE
These guys aren't your average Joes.
Statbotics Rank: 73
FUN Rank: 35
EPA: 37.9
Common name: Dave
Last event I saw them at: Ontario DCMP
Division: Galileo
While they may have a pretty boring name, don't let that fool you into thinking that they're not one of the best robots in the world. Together with OP and 2702, they set a former world record of 155 clean, and that's only the beginning. They have a very fast trap, clean swerve, consistent 4 and 5 notes, and maybe 6 if I'm remembering right. They've been consistent throughout the season, and are a major major threat on any alliance. Again, like rambotics: just cycle.
Team 4946: The Alpha Dogs
The dogs are in the house. And by god, they're barking.
Statbotics Rank: 85
FUN Rank: 62
EPA: 37
Common Name: Alpha Dogs
Last event I saw them at: Ontario DCMP
Division: Archimedes
With two* of the most controversial robots of the year and some great placings, these dogs are continuing to learn new tricks. And yes, you heard that right. TWO. WHOLE. (NOT) ROBOTS. Using a loophole in G209 that states that a robot counts as a robot only if it has a drive train, they have two whole configurations. It's so insanely cool. While I have heard that they may not be bringing it to worlds, that still won't count them out from doing well. They have fairly consistent 4 and 5 note autos, which have had some consistency issues. However, they more than make up for it in teleop, with one of the best drivers out there. They can also trap consistently on their main configuration (as of Ontario DCMP). Do not even THINK of defending them, it's just a waste of time. These dogs have a damn good bite, and will show up in any alliance.
Team 3161: Tronic Titans
Shooting notes in style.
Statbotics Rank: 130
FUN Rank: N/A (I swear they were on there i might be blind)
EPA: 35.1
Common Name: Tronic
Last event I saw them at: Humber
Division: Archimedes
You can recognize them across the venue with their signature black and gold capes, but style isn't all they've got. This team is incredibly consistent, with a very good amp shot and a solid 4 note auto. Just a very very consistent robot all around. They'll always do their part and more on any alliance.
Team 4907: Thunderstamps
If you've heard the clap, it's already too late.
Statbotics Rank: 163
FUN Rank: N/A (again I swear they were there)
EPA: 34.1
Common name: Stamps, TStamps
Last event I saw them at: Windsor
Division: Galileo
You may know them as the jumping robot from 2022, but this team isn't a one trick pony. They've been plauged with a streak of bad luck, mired with consistency issues, but they keep plodding along. They have a very good 4 and 5 notes autos, and a trap to boot. These racehorses may qualify as a dark horse this worlds, but that by no means means they're out.
Team 7558: ALT-F4
If you're up against them, try using that shortcut to end the match sooner.
Statbotics Rank: 200
FUN Rank: N/A
EPA: 32.7
Common name: Alt-f4
Last event I saw them at: Humber
Division: Galileo
One of the newer teams on the block, and took me by surprise in 2023. This year however, they've had a little less luck. With some auto and consistency issues, they've not had as good a run as I know they can. Their turret can beam notes like it's water, and autos can be smooth as butter. Keep a close eye on them.
Team 5885: Villanova WiredCats
All wired up and ready to roar.
Statbotics Rank: 261
FUN Rank: N/A
EPA: 31.2
Common name: wiredcats
Last event I saw them at: Windsor
Division: Milstein
These kitties are the all around picture of a solid robot. With a pretty unique back shooter that allows them to amp fairly quick, and some solid autos, they'll pack a punch on the field.
Team 1114: Simbotics
All hail the kings/queens/themperors.
Statbotics Rank: 268
FUN Rank: 44
EPA: 31
Common name: Sim, Simbots
Last event I saw them at: Ontario DCMP
Division: Milstein
Two time former world champions. Hall of fame team. Has a ship name with OP. They've done it all. And they build robots like it. Simbotics hasn't been as good as of late, but that doesn't mean they're fully washed. They're still a very very scary robot to be looking at, and the numbers don't reflect that at all. Just keep in mind their auto inconsistencies.
Team 5406: Celt-X
The mean green machine.
Statbotics Rank: 271
FUN Rank: 95
EPA: 30.9
Common name: celtex (thats like how its pronounced leave me alone)
Last event I saw them at: Ontario DCMP
Division: Johnson
Celt-X is another really really consistent and pretty darn scary robot in its own right. With very solid 4 note autos and the ability to trap, it makes them good already. Their major selling point is a very fast amp shot, allowing for more amp cycles than what you might expect.
Team 4920: Belle River Boltheads
These nuts and bolts will break your bones.
Statbotics Rank: 377
FUN Rank: N/A
EPA: 28.6
Common name: Boltheads
Last event I saw them at: Windsor
Division: Daly
The boltheads have been a very solid and consistent robot this year. They have a good 4 note, and a good amp shot, and a good teleop. However, they were having some issues with their shooter at the end of Windsor, but that won't stop them at worlds.
Team: 1241: THEORY6
The dark horses of Canada.
Statbotics Rank: 799
FUN Rank: N/A
EPA: 22.5
Common name: T6, Theory 6
Last event I saw them at: Ontario DCMP
Division: Galileo
These former world champions have had a very unfortunate streak. With their turret being broken during the first day and a bit of DCMPs, along with auto issues and swerve issues, it was looking doomed for their Worlds run. But then. They were first pick for 4946 at DCMPs. Was it Faith? Pity? The memes? Whatever it was, Theory 6 proved themselves very worthy of that pick. Once their shooter gets up and running, it can turn itself into a mini 254. Keep a very very close eye on this team, and if noone gets them, snag them while you can.
And that's it! feel free to tag or add any US teams that I might not know or have heard about, I'd love to know who to watch! Good luck to all competing!

Galileo Galilei Main Story
Translations may not always capture the exact nuances or tone of the original text. Not proofread.
I spotted Galileo in the middle of the night and quietly followed him into the garden.
Unlike during the day, the moonlight pouring down made the flowers stand out in the darkness.
(There he is.)
Amid that beautiful view, Galileo knelt and gazed at the flowers.
His melancholic amethyst eyes exude a sense of vulnerability, making him seem like a different person from his usual cold self.
Feeling as though I shouldn't interrupt, I merely watched as he plucked a red flower and brought it to his lips.
(It's just like the first time we met.)
(Why is he eating the flowers? To suppress the urge to drink blood?)
But right now, he doesn't seem to possess any will.
He seemed so hollow and fragile that he might vanish if I touched him.
As I watched, he picked another flower and ate it, then looked up at the sky, making a faint sound.
The red petals that fell from his lips adorned his chest as if it were a separate world.
(I can't take my eyes off him.)
Enthralled by the scene, I suddenly heard quiet footsteps approaching.
Drake: "Curious?"
Mitsuki: "Drake."
Drake gave a light smile and turned his gaze to Galileo.
Drake: "You know, he doesn't even realize it."
Mitsuki: "Realize what?"
Drake: "He's been unconsciously trapped all these years by his dead brethren without realizing it."
Mitsuki: "Dead brethren? You mean the dhampirs?"
Unable to fully grasp the conversation, I asked again, and Drake sadly smiled.
Drake: "Beneath those red flowers lie the corpses of the dhampir."
Mitsuki: "............"
I was left speechless, unable to fathom what I just heard.
The girl running away with her father and the sickly boy lying in bed with his parents watching over him—their persecuted and deprived lives I had experienced in my dreams came back to me.
Drake: "He couldn't leave those dhampirs who died so cruelly."
Drake: "After spending some time here at this hideout, he managed to bring them here and mourn them under the beautiful flowers."
Drake: "I guess he thinks they can rest peacefully now."
Drake: "Perhaps he also wants someone to witness what he's going to do next."
(Galileo planted flowers above the corpses of the dhampir.)
Drake: "Blanc flowers are white. But why do red flowers bloom only in that place?"
Drake: "It's like those red flowers absorbed blood."
Quietly, Drake weaved the tale hidden within the voiceless flowers.
Drake: "By consuming the blood-stained flowers like that, he is etching the grievances of the dhampirs into himself."
Drake: "At least, that's how I see it."
Mitsuki: "..........."
In front of us, Galileo continued to bring the red flowers to his lips.
His figure, bathed in moonlight, appeared even more fleeting.
(Galileo had gone back in time and tried many times to save the dhampirs, but…)
(He's so consumed by sorrow that he engraves it on himself like this because he couldn't succeed.)
Mitsuki: "How long have you been with Galileo?"
Drake: "How long? Hahaha! I've already forgotten."
Drake: "He grabbed my hand when I was about to die and pulled me up from the sea. That's how we met."
Mitsuki: "So you're one of the important brethren Galileo managed to save."
Mitsuki: "I'm glad you're by Galileo's side."
Drake: "..........."
(Even if it's just one person, the life he saved matters.)
Drake: "You're a good kid, little fawn."
He shrugged and smiled.
I returned my gaze to Galileo, recalling his words.
------------Flashback-----------
Galileo: "I attempted to change the fate of my brethren using this door."
Galileo: "I tried multiple times to save the few of them born throughout history, but it always ended in failure. It's as if the world rejects them."
Galileo: "Dhampirs are destined to disappear from history."
---------Flashback Ends--------
(Galileo has been carrying the deaths of his brethren.)
Even after paying respects, he still put flowers in his mouth.
Also...
------------Flashback-----------
Galileo: "And I have a warning for you."
Galileo: "Don't ever mention that man in front of me again."
---------Flashback Ends--------
(Perhaps denying his past self stems from his grievance towards his brethren.)
But at that moment, there was also intense anger.
(Galileo might be carrying something else as well.)
As I watched him with the red flower on his lips, I felt a tightness in my chest.
After returning inside, Drake told me not to tell him what he had just said and went back to his room.
(I need to be careful not to mention that scene or the dhampirs in front of him.)
At that moment,
Galileo: "What are you doing at this hour?"
Mitsuki: "Galileo."
I turned around and saw the person in question standing before me.
His eyes, now sharp and quizzical, were completely different from the empty expression earlier.
Mitsuki: "Um, getting some water. What about you?"
Galileo: "I was just taking in the night air."
There was a slight pause in his response. It's possible he didn't remember what happened earlier.
(I wanted to heal his sorrow by knowing him and to stop his purpose, but there's nothing I can do for now.)
Unable to find the right words, I looked up at him with a melancholic feeling.
Galileo: "You sometimes stare at people like that."
Mitsuki: "Huh?"
Galileo: "It's like you're trying to see something in them."
He continued to look at me without averting his gaze.
Galileo: "Honestly, I was surprised when you came to this hideout."
Mitsuki: "Why's that?"
Galileo: "You could have trusted the vampires in the mansion, even though we set the terms."
Galileo: "You could have turned a blind eye to the truth."
(There might have been such options.)
But all that was on my mind was wanting to protect everyone in the mansion and wanting to know the real him. Even if there was an option to escape, I probably wouldn't have chosen it.
Galileo: "You said you wanted to know me even after knowing my purpose, but aren't you afraid of me?"
(I...)
What naturally came out of my lips was surprising even to me.
Mitsuki: "I'm not afraid."
Mitsuki: "I was indeed scared at first."
Mitsuki: "Even now, I'm a bit scared. But..."
(I can't quite express it, but when I look at him, my heart tightens.)
(I want to understand why I feel this way.)
I want to know why his eyes were filled with danger and a hint of melancholy.
Mitsuki: "I want to face you head-on without turning away."
Galileo: "............"
Silence fell between us.
We exchanged glances for a while, and eventually, he let out a small sigh.
Galileo: "You're truly honest and righteous to a fault."
Surprisingly, his voice lacked its usual coldness.
He turned away, and I hesitantly called out to him.
Mitsuki: "Um, goodnight."
For a moment, it seemed like he might turn back toward me, but Galileo melted into the shadows of the night without looking back.

What has been nominated so far
Note, just because something has been nominated, and so is listed here, does not mean it will be included, I will include the absolute most I can but if I can't find it on TARDIS wiki its not getting in because i can't verify its a piece of who media
Also note, there might be some mistakes on here, I'm copying the nominations across directly, there might be some stories that are listed twice without me realising, because of alternate titles, or I just didn't spot it, or stuff that was spelt wrong when it was nominated, feel free to tell me
I've done my best to spot when nominations of a series were intended to enter the individual parts rather than the series as a unit, if I've got this wrong let me know and I will fix it. (if a story is on one line its currently being considered as a unit)
Final note, a couple of things got nominated under multiple mediums, usually full length TV story and minisode, so if you can't find your nomination, maybe check one of the other mediums
You can make further nominations here, there are basically no limits so long as its set in the Whoniverse (or its about Doctor Who, eg An Adventure in Space and Time or The 5 (ish) Doctors Reboot)
