Pt. 14 Mercs
The Clan
The proposition Cat offered us was high risk/reward, an assignment at the edge of our capabilities, we assembled the Council, and 4 to 3 we decided to take the job.
My name is James, but they call me JR Gibbons, Chieftain of the Conchos tribe, and head of the Mercenaries Guild, that job I did not want, but when you are herding cats, maybe you need a Dog. Our story goes back centuries, to a tale preserved by my Great Grandmother. I come from a line of mercenaries, going back some 600 years, from freedom fighters to Weapons designers, our clan was built for war, and still is. Our Motto is, “No glory without Sacrifice”
And as the new hires file into the Academy, they are reminded of the sacrifice our founder made, his words etched in the finest White marble, a testament to his greatness, and our visionary.
JR Gibbons (1829-1865}
Letter written by commanding officer after leaving the grave site of James R Gibbons.
Lieutenant James R Gibbons of Company C Barry Battalion Southern States Frontier Regt.
On the 8th day of Jan 1865 Lieutenant James R Gibbons fell mortally wounded in the battle with indians in the Dove Creek Battle. He lived until Jan 16th. A braver officer than Lieutenant Gibbons was never sworn. He was a freemason, a Christian, a good man and a true soldier. He was respected by those who knew him best.
We can not call him back so let us revere his memory on the banks of the Concho. Far in the distant west lies
this brave warrior in his quiet peaceful rest.

Plans of the Cat
Lord this man is tedious, he understands every aspect of our journey, and the potential for action, how does he know?
Gentlemen hello, I am Cat Fletcher, and I command the Leopard, as you know Seamus and I have made some new discoveries, and some new problems have come up. While the Tuyani are highly intelligent, they possess no defences to speak of, they say they are explorers, nothing more, I do not believe them for a second. I let that sink in, it worked.
However, the CCP is headed towards a Titania object in hopes of harvesting the Titanium, and the Tuyani has asked us to deal with the situation, we have already been given coordinates to some rich rocks in payment, and we don’t need the CCP in our way anyway.
“1 Billion Quats” my men’s jaws dropped, this would be the biggest run in our history, then it got better, “Elon has seen fit to equip us with latest Railguns, for a modest fee” Just what I needed to hear, we agreed to terms and with two weeks, we prepared..
Mars Prime
As soon as I landed on the promenade I heard the news, Kerry had been lost in a Nuke accident on Nephilium, the old testing ‘roid, and the entire thing was vaporized, to the Sun, as the saying goes, Painful, but I had business first…
I found my usual sleeping place, dressed for the Evening and headed downstairs to Rose’s Cantina. As I sat and ordered my usual Ale, I wasn’t really looking for women, having lost two in as many months, so I was surprised to see Tangent. She was an old friend who wanted nothing to do with me, and it was good to see her. Of course she wanted to sign on as my cook, alas I declined. This one was tricky, and we may not come back in one piece, if at all, she understood, and we finished the evening in comfort.
JR
We had 14 days to prepare, this meant 11 days of prep, 2 days to say farewell and then load out Day. Many militaries don’t understand our ways, but we are pay to play and take our work seriously, we do the hard jobs first, and relax later. Gunny Cole set up the infantry with updated rail rifles, they had some unique abilities, as we found out. Our weapons officer was a man named Patton, and was having some issues with mass distribution installing the new, much larger Rguns, so we called Elon.
“ JR, you’re ready to go, the upgraded mounts should work out, and I added a special touch to it all, the guns can be jettisoned and then self-destruct, giving you an opportunity to run. Of course the destruction of the guns is, how would you say, spectacular? Take this under advisement” With that, Elon returned back to his lair as we concluded our business here, tomorrow was load out, and then 6 weeks to somewhere..
Time to fly
The Conchos had 12 ships, 2 Companies of Infantry.and light artillery, I had Leopard, Moria, and a Company of fighters amongst my crew, we were ready for a fight, with who? We’ll assume it’s CCP, but we are eyes wide open, six weeks of 15 G, Let’s Go!

Dude, let Yusef have a few minutes before going waaaaay off topic, will ya?
Ok, I sit corrected.
It’s like you guys know what you want and have agency or something.
I’ll go sit in the karen corner and think about what I did…
Oh stop that Lady, you know what I like,
Of course we do, it’s all Space Milfs, you total Oort Cloud Horndog Pig.
Karen Corner… I like it. You’re OK for a non-existent female libertarian, Hayek, I’m all for letting you hang around.

He doesn’t like us coasters does he.

I just want the Bills to get a ring while Jim Kelley is still with us.
Yeah.
This new kid is turning out to be pretty good, too.
They’re looking pretty good this year. It’s been 20 years so I can finally root for them after all of Wade Phillips’ whining and crying when he got burned on a trick play. They replayed it endlessly, even modeled it in a computer, and it’s still a lateral.
I didn’t pay any attention to football between the mid-nineties and last year so I didn’t know who that was until a trip to Wikipedia.
You didn’t miss much.
“You didn’t miss much.”

“The Patriots won” covers most of that period.

Anyway, my clients are fucking morons. I hope they don’t read Glibs.
We switched from Duo to Microsoft Authenticator.
It requires an extra fingerprint scan from my thumb ?
I currently do not have a choice. But I’ve figured this out years ago, it’s all leading up to the point where we say fuck it and instead of logging in 23,000 times a day, we give them our DNA.
I’d rather log in with my thumb 23,000 times a day than entering my password after they already got my thumb arrrrgggh.

Yusef, I’m watching your writing style develop here, and I have to tell you, I like this. Keep it up, bro.
Thanks, Hype, glad you noticed,I have been learning a bit!
You are. Good to see. I currently have zero writing skills but want to learn some day.
Pfew.
So glad the Titan player gave the thumbs up as they wheeled him off on the body board.
He was out like a light, not moving a thing for several minutes.
I hope the Bills doctor who implemented the ice water to the veins of the nearly paralyzed Bills player is in the stadium and allowed to help the Titan player.
The NFL are scum. I already hated them, but I hate them more for what they did to Gruden. Those self righteous pricks deserve the worst of the worst.
Sorry, you were talking about something else, I didn’t see that. I hope he is OK.
You can hate the elites at the top without hating the plebes.
Same as any other endeavor, I guess.
Oh, I have total respect for the players and staff. I’ve loved football since I was a kid living in Cali. The NFL are making it hard these days, woke morons.
I think the NFL are just following the culture.
They’re not going to change until “we” change.
This was in 2007:
The rest of the story is that the Bills organization kept him on “injured reserve” for a couple of years so he’s qualify for his NFL pension when he “retired”. That’s a class move, Bills.
He walked on the field years later to a standing ovation. He’d have been a quadriplegic without that doctor.
I will add that the doctor who started the iced saline water did it literally on the sidelines and had to shove a couple of people out of the way to do so.
He later said that he just had a feeling he needed the ice water to be right THERE with no delay.
To my dismay, this has been rewritten in the Interwebs to be about “experts” and consensus, not one healer passionate about saving a guy right then.

Titans are determined to keep this interesting,
Bills 31, Titans 37. 7:39 minutes left.
Derp Titans 27.
Ceres 27, Titan 10 Belter Football league!
Bills blew it. Some questionable decisions there.
Oh well.
Well maybe but I can certainly understand going for a 4th and 1 on the road to get the win rather than trying to overtime.
Maybe against a different team in a different game.
I would have gone for the overtime.
Definitely a reasonable opinion. I think there’s plenty of room for debate. I’ve heard good arguments on both sides.
“For” not “to”. Overtime isn’t a verb, but give sportscasters a minute and it might be.
After touting they only had 4 people left to vaccinate in the league…

Yes, because inalienable rights are reduced to balancing tests of “interests”.
Good news Judge. Your paycheck has been stopped pending final outcome of the case, including any and all appeals. You can get it back then. Maybe.
That’s nice. But legally they are separate and distinct drugs.
Oh, so medical ethics and the Nuremberg code only apply if interned in a camp? Bullshit.
Oh, so the standards for ethical behavior is based on what the international community decides? The international community that was largely silent about those evils before and during much of WWII?

Pretty sure that was an accident just like the techs accidently giving covod vaccine versus flu shots.
So redress when medical or religious exemptions are denied and watch this same judge twist and contort to justify why that is also okay
They had the opportunity to seek an accommodation. There’s no obligation for the state or private employer to grant it. Case dismissed.
If “public safety” is such an over-riding concern, then why is religious exemption allowed? There’s no religious exemption to pedophilia or human sacrifice or decorating cakes.
Vestige of old America. You can be sure they really, really want to get rid of that.
Sure does put their insistence on public accommodation into a logical bind.
When The First That Will Change Everything is unleashed, this judge will die in a spontaneous fire. It will not be quick. It will excruciatingly painful. But it will usher in the new world.

I was referring to Bro’s comment.
Well then die in his fire, Haha!

Follow-up to my own comment.
Not one of the regional news sites had an article on this decision. KOB.com, KRKE.com, and worst of all, LADailyPost.com. News from the Laboratory should be the latter’s core source of stories.
I suspect Fox is regretting setting up the post-game set outside of Fenway; the crowd
– loves Ortiz
– hates A-Rod
That combination has the whole crowd alternating between chanting “Papi!” and ” A-Rod sucks!” loud enough that it’s hard to hear the analysts.
HAHA!
/Nelson laugh
“Let’s go A-rod!”
They have to keep hitting the dump button now.
The crowd is boisterous. As might be expected after a post-season beat down (12-3, Sox)
Why would anyone hate A-roid?
It’s one of the things you’re taught in Mariner’s Fan Indoc course. 1) Hate A-Rod. 2) ‘Member that time back in ’95 when we didn’t suck? Keep remembering that.
At least they were not chanting “Let’s go Brandon!”
Still not 100% sure that I watched it in 4k.
I was hoping for that chant

Required testing, not based upon any legitimate need = forced medical procedure. Sure it’s minor intrusion but it’s still a forced medical procedure and unethical.
I concur.

Morning Glibs.
It was 52 in my house this morning, so I finally closed my windows.
Watch, it’ll roast by the afternoon.
I’m having to adjust to high desert weather!!
Apparently having a jacket:coat in the car at all times is going to be required.
How’s it going so far?
It’s going! The movers brought all my furniture into the new house under my direction, did a great job.
I still have a thousand boxes to open and unpack, but the backbreaking work is done. I’d love to share pics but Imgur insists on a WiFi connection, which I don’t have.
I’m back at the Best Western tonight because I didn’t want to cope with making the bed and also wanted to watch the MNF game.
A neighbor came over yo introduce himself (and his wife) while the movers were working. We chatted and exchanged phone numbers. He gave me a little intel on the neighborhood.
Lots of American flags, Gadsden flags, POW/MIA flags.
A few “Pray for America” signs.
I think I’ve found my people. ?❤️
Good to hear.
I had a longer comment, but it was a bit incoherent.

SW Ohio autumn weather- the heat runs at night, a/c during the day.
suh’ fam
yo whats goody
It was my day/night off, and while Jugsy has been snoring away with fevered dreams due to Moderna Part Deux, Ive been up since midnight pounding beer and cursing my aged soldering iron. And the bipolar water heater. We’re about to have a ‘Come To Jesus’ talk when I reprogram that shitty Rockwell valve controller with a framing hammer and replace it with a mechanical one from Lowe’s.
TALL CANS!
My soldering iron is on backorder. I finally found one which claimed to be made in the usa. It’s a hypothetical right now. So I have solder, flux, and no iron.
Who doesn’t have multiple soldering irons?
*shakes head*
Kids these days…
My backup is in the garage, and its a Weller gun. 300/200W selectable. A bit heavy handed for boardwork and the caps Im trying to replace.
Come with me to the Dark Side- we’ll visit Harbor Freight. My current iron is a Weller that I bought at least your age ago, from a table at the Dayton HamVention. And at that time, it was likely your age old.
If we can find some good old irons, I’d prefer that. But I donno how many of those are on the market.
I’m a Weller girl myself!!
They can pry it from my cold dead hands.
We got rid of the Wellers and most of the Metcals years ago. My dudes prefer PACE. To each,
histheir own. Have not touched any of it in years myself.PACE looks nice. And spendy.
For my purposes these days, chineseium from HB or Northern Tool works.
I’ve had one of these for about 10 years. It’s cheap and gimmicky, but it works perfectly for the once-every-couple-years I need to solder something.
https://www.coldheat.com/
That looks functional for the occasional home job. I could replace the butane torch I have.
No soldering iron? That’s what nails and a hot fire are for.

Cool. What would happen if they put one of those near say… Chicago?
That is very cool. Shocked no one has shot up the highway, I guess THOSE guns don’t have agency.
Rant On/ Supervisor sent me a job ticket yesterday but she was dense enough to include the entire E-Mail chain. I got to read three levels of bullshit before it reached me at the bottom of the totem pole. Two photos later and some camouflaged snark (Glibs have served me well!) I have put those cocksuckers by choice in their place. It always comes down to the same issue. Client complains, parent company makes unrealistic suggestion, I have to defend my actions and call upon my years of service and then they finally pony up the dough to fix the problem. Nine years I’ve been dealing with this dunce-capped tomfoolery. I did get a pretty good zinger in at the one fellow that revealed himself to be the stupidest one of all. That was some transitory joy! Fuck them, they’re no friends of mine and I wish they would stop trying to bum-fuck me. /Rant Off

Greetings from Ohiopalachia! Our lodge room looks straight into the woods, and the barely-visible horizon is just now starting to turn pink.
Are there even enough hills to be part of appalachia, or is it a cultural thing?
Oh, this area IS officially in Appalachia, and there are plenty of hills. Getting here was an adventure in itself – lots of twisty, curvy, up & down. Culturally, not that you’d notice, at least based on the lodge staff.
Nice portmanteau. And even nicer sunrise!

Government compliance technology has certainly improved since the 1930’s. Why waste time and effort on infrastructure when the private sector is willing to do the job for free?
https://www.nj.com/coronavirus/2021/10/nj-health-system-fires-118-workers-for-refusing-to-get-vaccinated.html
So this “99.7” figure they’re touting doesn’t include however many they’ve fired between July and yesterday.
Informally delegate what government cannot legally do to the private sector through a series of seemingly unrelated, but very related when it comes down to it, carrots and sticks. Private organizations have become good at recognizing the demands that, as all good toadies do, the demand doesn’t even need to be made. They’re quasi governmental private organizations and should be constrained from doing this shit.
My biggest concern these days is not being banned from retail outlets or even loss of employment, but the possibility of being denied medical treatment. We are not there yet, but the writing is on the wall.
They’ve been trial ballooning exactly that, and to trumpeted fanfare from the majority. Thankfully there are still some medical personnel who have souls and would treat us anyway.
“FDA To Allow “Mixing and Matching” Of COVID Boosters”
https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/fda-allow-mixing-and-matching-covid-boosters
Sounds like a good idea and by good I mean not good, terrible in fact. If one or two shots in particular have long term issues how in the hell are they going to be able to trace those back for any kind of root cause analysis?
More proof were any needed that it is long past time to dissolve the FDA.
Ooh! Ooh! I know this one! “Feature, not bug,” right??
^^^ Exactly. No way to determine culpability when things go sideways.
Dammit!
That’s what I get for not refreshing the page.
‘…how in the hell are they going to be able to trace those back for any kind of root cause analysis?’
Feature, not bug.
Why would it matter who’s at fault if they’re all immune from liability?

The weather has cooled down enough that four of the dogs at the park were wearing sweaters
You know if there weren’t such opposition to fur coats, the dogs wouldn’t need wool.
I’ve got a pic for an upcoming IFLA that shows where Lily’s coat was shaved back for her spay. That Pyrenees in her heritage is giving her vast amounts of fluff.
Having found a paint remover capable of taking off bungled spray primer without damaging the plastic, I set about trying to salvage a squad of Termies that had a seriously borked primer coat. It takes a lot of scrubbing, but I’d been making progress.
then one fell off my desk and broke off the arm. I’m starting to wonder whether these guys are worth the effort.
I bought a huge scale model of the Bismarck when I was into that. Must have been nearly three feet long. I taped off the waterline and used the wrong paint. Melted the hull. I had already put about 80 hours into the top. I got so pissed off that I threw it in the fire pit. Never tried again and I was very good at that hobby.
🙁
These are little guys. It’s always worse when it’s a big model.
If they come after me for the cootie shot, I’ve got an angle. Judging by the walls of bagged cans in the drinkin’ room, I might just have found my life’s purpose! It’s something that I’m good at and if I were to become destitute I could shed the shame! I’d become a beer can God! All will tremble before me and lament!
I would have to fight off an army of little old Chinese ladies to pursue that career around here.
Planning to come to NYC? Beer can collection is a staple of the local economy, you’ll fit right in!
Kidding. Wal-Mart greeter (wait, they wouldn’t hire me before) or delivery driver. You read it here first, folks, Festus wasn’t Wal-Mart material.
That was a dark fucking day.
I had my own ideas about running a warehouse seeing as how I’d run them for many years before. BIG MISTAKE. Independent thought was frowned upon, apparently. Same thing happened at another site. Maybe I’m just a stupid cunte that doesn’t know the racket.
