On a scale of one to ten, one being touching a hot car on a sunny day and ten being falling into the sun, I’d put having something burst into flames in my hand at probably a four. I think four is reasonable. I mean, we’re not talking about blistering heat that roasts your meat black. We’re talking about a little, blue, cat doll just catching fire and enveloping your hand up to the wrist in white-hot angel fire.
I think anyone’s first instinct when something they’re holding bursts into flames is to drop or throw the item. Since I am anyone, I naturally throw the doll with a squeal that turns heads. It hits the side of the closest tent and tumbles down it, paw over whisker. It leaves a trail of little fires behind it. These don’t just sizzle and go out, they get bigger.
Did I mention the smoke? There’s black smoke billowing out of the doll like it’s one of those funny fireworks that does nothing but make smoke. It doesn’t move like smoke though. Smoke just goes up where I guess it gets sucked out into space or something. This smoke swirls around in a ropey fashion like a snake.
“Meredith?” I say to the smoke snake, “Is that you?”
The smoke snake does not respond. Instead, one of the teenagers shouts, “FIRE!” and throws a cup of soda at the side of the tent that’s burning incredibly quickly. They all scatter. Soda is apparently not an effective fire extinguisher. The flames just sizzle and then swallow more of the tent.
I decide not to stick around. “If you’re Meredith, follow me,” I tell the smoke snake, and then turn to run for the busy section of the carnival.
I don’t make it more than two steps before one of the bigger teenagers grabs me by the shoulder. He’s a lanky boy with black hair and one of those “I wanna look grown-up” half mustaches that you almost wonder if you can just rip it right off his face. He’s wearing a Led Zeppelin shirt. I bet Roger and this kid would have been best buds or bitter rivals if Roger hadn’t gotten turned into mashed potatoes.
“Hey! This girl started a fire!” he yells to nobody in particular.
A girl with really short cut bleached blonde hair and one of those nose stud things runs over and gets right in my face. “Let her go, Johnny!” she snaps at the boy holding me. I’m surprised because I thought from her expression that she was going to headbutt me in the face and knock me out or something. “She’s pretty badass in my book.” She looks me in the eyes with something I’m not familiar with. Is that... respect?
Johnny lets go of me.
“That thing’s gonna burn the whole carnival down!” the girl yells. She sounds pleased. She’s even got a big grin on her face as she watches the fire on the tent rise upward.
“Well I’m not sticking around to watch, babe!” says Johnny, and he takes off between two trailers across the way.
There’s already shouts rising over the sound of the crackling fire. I hear someone yell the word “fire!” and the sentence, “grab an extinguisher!” Just over the tent, where the main thoroughfare probably is, some woman screams, and a kid starts crying. Oh God, I’ve gone and killed everybody, haven’t I? The entire carnival is going to burn to the ground and everybody’s probably panicking and stampeding for the exits. Then the screaming lady lets out a big burst of laughter and I realize nobody on the other side of the tent is even aware of what’s going on over here yet.
“Come on!” the blonde girl pulls on my sleeve. I stumble over my own feet and fall to the ground. She doesn’t stick around to help me up. Instead she takes off after her friend Johnny, doing some sort of twirly dance in the process as she runs away into the dark.
I start to get up from the dirt when I notice dark liquid running out from under me. It’s blood. It’s all over my shirt. I’m a sopping wet, red mess. Also, the cow pitcher is shattered. I must have fallen right on it and it broke and I got Nate’s blood all over myself! How am I ever going to explain this to that angry man I borrowed it from?
“What’s going on?” asks Paschar, “I’m getting only bits and pieces. There’s a fire? Smoke? Snakes? Blood? Are you injured?”
Actually, now that he’s asked, there is a big piece of the cow pitcher sticking through my bloody shirt down in my tummy area. I pull on the end of it. There’s a nasty, burning sensation so I stop pulling. I’ve gone and stabbed myself with a cow pitcher! Is any of this blood mine?
“I’ve spilled Nate’s blood all over myself!”
“Don’t rub it in your eyes!”
I wasn’t gonna rub it in my eyes. It’s not like I’m tired or anything. My cousin Susie used to rub her eyes a lot but that was because she had really bad allergies. Her eyes were always bloodshot. Susie’s worst allergy was boat propellers though. She was deathly allergic to those. After her accident, my Uncle George developed really bad allergies too. I could tell because his eyes were always bloodshot.
Someone nearby yells, “Over here!” and a pair of men run up with big, red fire extinguishers. They start spraying the white foamy stuff at the side of the tent. At first, it doesn’t look like the foam is going to stop the flames, but after a minute of spraying and one of the extinguishers running out of juice, the fire hisses and goes out.
The man holding the used-up fire extinguisher looks at the big, black, scorched portion of tent, then down at the crispy, little cat doll on the ground. Then he turns and looks at the claw machine. The machine blinks its lights like it’s saying hello to him. The man finally looks over at me, laying in a small pool of warm blood. It’s the man with orange hair who passed by earlier that I hid from.
“Look what we got here,” he says with a funny accent. I think it’s Irish, but it might be Scottish. I’m not an expert on accents. Everything I know about accents I learned from this movie I watched with my dad about a Scottish guy who was immortal and he killed other immortal people by chopping their heads off with a giant sword. Well, that and Mary Poppins.
The other man sets down his fire extinguisher and turns around. He’s a beefy guy wearing a huge coat with lots of pockets and a floppy-looking cowboy hat. “Who’s that, Gin?” he asks in a non-accent voice.
“Get up, girly!” The man named Gin reaches down and grabs me by my collar. He pulls me halfway up to standing on my own two feet. In the process, the piece of cow pitcher that has punctured me in the tummy area shifts and causes more of that intense burning feeling I got when I tried to pull it out.
“OWWWW!” I yell, hoping he gets the hint and lets go of me.
He doesn’t.
Then I notice that the snaky trail of black smoke is circling his head like a creepy halo. I don’t think he or the other man can see it because if either of them could, they’d surely be freaking out and trying to wave it away.
“This,” Gin says with one of those half-smile smirks that shows the canine tooth on the left side of his mouth, “is who Clay was looking for.”
The black smoke snake hunches back like it's about to strike at the back of Gin’s head. Then it lunges forward and splashes like a wave against him, going in all directions. A moment later, it recollects itself into a cloudy-form and swirls angrily around him like a swarm of bees dealing with Winnie-the-Pooh.
Gin pulls me the rest of the way to my feet. This is good because I aim to kick him in his testicles and I couldn’t do that lying down. As soon as I’ve got my footing, I pull back, swinging my foot out behind me--
--at which point he brings his big, adult fist into the equation by punching me hard in the guts. The pain is so intense I feel like I’m going to puke. Even worse, there’s a really sharp stinging sensation and then a wet kind of warmth. No, I didn’t pee myself. Gin himself winces in pain as he pulls his fist back to reveal the piece of broken cow pitcher stabbed right up between his knuckles. He lets go of me so he can pull it out and I take the opportunity to drop to my knees and double over, clutching where he hit me.
“Word of advice to you, lass,” says Gin as he flicks the pitcher piece away, “don’t broadcast your intention to kick a man in the quongs if you don’t want to get punched in the ovaries.”
I’m too busy rubbing my face in the wet grass to respond but I’m thinking about how annoying this thing with saying what I’m thinking is and I wish I could stop doing it because it really makes fighting bad guys difficult. I wonder if I just said that thought, but judging from Gin putting his boot on the back of my head, I’m guessing not. Bleh, the grass is warm and tastes like ozone. I realize I’m getting Nate’s blood on me. Paschar said to not get it in my eyes!
“What is she, like ten years old?” I hear the other man say, “What about this brat’s got Clay so spooked? You could knock her over with a wet fart.” Thanks for that visual, Sir.
Gin lifts his boot off my head. I take the opportunity to get my face out of the bloody grass and wipe it off my mouth. I can’t tell how much is on my face.
“She killed his kid or sometin’,” he remarks casually, “burned him alive.” He pauses. I look up. He’s looking at the scorched tent. “Seems like she’s got a penchant for fire. Maybe we ought to give her a feel of what it’s like to get burned before we bring her to Clay. What do you say?”
I cough up some dirt I didn’t realize was in the back of my throat. “I didn’t kill Joey.”
Gin wanders a few steps away and the other man comes over and puts a hand under my armpit. He helps me up in a far gentler manner than Gin did. I don’t think about kicking him in the testicles and I don’t plan to. The two men share a brief look and I worry for a second that I just said all that.
“She’s got blood all over her,” the big other guy says, letting go of me and wiping his hands off on his dark jacket.
“I don’t give a rat’s ass if she’s got shit and puke on ‘er,” Gin lights up a cigarette and takes a long drag on it. He looks at me like a kid with a magnifying glass looks at an ant. He blows out a small cloud of stinky smoke. I wonder if he can make smoke rings. “Give me her arm.”
Nothing good ever started with someone saying, “give me her arm.” I instinctively start to pull away, but the big guy puts his hand under my armpit again and moves me away from Gin, twirling me around so he’s between the two of us like a big wall.
“I’ve had enough of this. I’m not letting you put a cigarette out on a little girl. What the Hell is wrong with you, man?”
I put my free arm around his waist and give him as much of a hug as I can. Thank you, Mister, whoever you are.
Gin casually gestures toward the blackened tent flap and scorched patch of ground where the remains of my precious Freddy Lapel doll sizzles with otherworldly heat. “Look what she did, Dutch. She tried to burn down the whole carnival. Could have hurt somebody! Could have killed somebody--” He looks directly at me. “--again.”
Dutch’s thumb digs into my armpit but not so hard that it hurts. He smells like he had bacon recently. And he works on machinery or something, because there’s a distinct scent of motor oil on his clothes. I wonder if he knows Mr. Grizz.
“But thankfully nobody did get hurt. And I don’t know the full story between her and Clay, if there even is one. All I know is a grown-ass, Irish prick is telling me to let him put a lit cigarette on a ten-year old girl covered in blood and I ain’t about to be the guy that lets that happen.”
“I’m twelve actually,” I tell Dutch. He doesn’t hear or just ignores me.
The orange-haired creep named Gin takes another drag on his cigarette. I watch the end of it burn away between his fingers. Then he casually lifts one leg and puts it out on the underside of his boot. He flicks the butt away and then crosses his arms and stares at me hiding behind Dutch. If there was a clock, we could hear it ticking away, but there’s no clock. Instead, there’s just the hoots and hollers of people having a grand old time at the carnival.
After what seems like five minutes of just hard, quiet staring at each other like one of those Mexican standoffs in a Clint Eastwood Western movie --my dad used to love to watch Clint Eastwood movies. His favorite was called High Plains Drifter. I just watched for the horses-- oh right, like I was saying... after five minutes of that staring, Gin shrugs like he didn’t just step on the head of a little girl and then try to put a cigarette out on her.
“I’m fetching Clay.” He lingers for a moment, glaring at both of us, and then storms off in a hurried manner, really working his arms into it.
Dutch’s grip on my pit loosens. I stop hugging him and move away a step. He looks down at me. I can’t figure out what thoughts are going through his head. His expression seems like a jumble of worry and upset and even a little fear. He’s gotten all sweaty. He wipes it away with his sleeve and takes a rough breath.
“Thank you, Mr. Dutch,” I tell him.
He nods silently.
I check my pokey stab wound from the cow pitcher. It’s not leaking profusely but there’s blood and mud caked on my shirt and it’s sticking to me. I hope I don’t get a mud infection. I wish I better understood where germs come from. There’s blood all over my hands but I don’t know if it’s mine or Nate’s.
“I’m taking you to the front entrance and we’re calling the police,” Dutch tells me.
I almost forgot about the cloud of smoke. It is lazily drifting over Dutch’s head now, like a little, black raincloud. It moves unnaturally, not drifting away or dispersing in any way. Just a little, black raincloud over the man’s floppy hat.
We walk away from the burned tent and the claw machine in the opposite direction from the one that Gin went. A noise behind us makes me look back. A blonde woman with an apron covered with pockets from which prize tickets hang out all over comes out of a nearby booth alley and sees the mess I caused. She immediately zeroes in on Dutch and I walking away together.
“Oi! Dutch!” she calls out, “what the Hell happened here?”
“I’m dealing with it, Susie,” he tells her. He puts his hand on my arm as if to show that he’s got the perpetrator and is handling the situation.
I look up at him. “My cousin’s name is Susie.” I don’t know why I feel the need to mention that. My brain is kind of doing a reset at the moment as I try to figure out what I need to do and if that cloud is indeed Meredith’s soul like I think it is.
Mr. Dutch glances down at me and starts leading me away again. “Is that so?”
“My uncle ran her over with a motorboat.”
He frowns and looks away. “Oh.”
I realize I could have worded that better. “By accident.”
Paschar chimes in. “That’s probably not the best topic to be bringing up right now, Lily.”
Mr. Dutch seems to agree with Paschar. “Let’s just get you to the ticket booths, alright? Quiet like.”
Ahead of us, the back alleyway of tent flaps and old, unused arcade machines opens up to the main thoroughfare. I knew it was right there! I can see normal people, mostly adults because it’s so freaking late and kids have got school tomorrow but the carnival is in town so some parents brought their kids because some things are more important than school. Like fishing for little ducks with magnets on the end of a fishing line so you can get a ten cent knick-knack for the price of a couple quarters. Or shooting water in a hippo’s mouth and watching a balloon fill up from out its butt and whoever pops the hippo’s butt balloon wins a prize which is usually just a bunch of tickets like the ones that lady had falling out of her apron pockets.
The little, black cloud follows us, keeping just above Dutch’s head. I wonder if it intends to drop on him like an anvil in a Wile E Coyote cartoon.
Right before we reach the thoroughfare full of laughing, smiling people, I hear something. Fast approaching footsteps. They’re not speed walking; this is more like a jumbling hustle of several feet moving swiftly but trying to be quiet. Oh crap, it’s Gin and Clay. They’re going to burn me with cigarettes or rub deodorant on my wounds and stab me and light me on fire and--
There’s a hard WHOOMP sound right next to me followed immediately by a loud grunt like “UGH” but I can’t do it justice with words. It’s like the sound someone would make if they bang their elbow on the edge of a metal desk right where their funny bone is. Like right between the elbow joint bones, you know? Why does that hurt so bad? I think the person who named it the “funny bone” never hit the corner of a metal desk there. It’s the least funny bone in your body. Or second at least to the coccyx. That’s the little tail end of your spine. Yeah, we got tails. Humans got tails. They’re hidden though, tucked away in the butt area.
Dutch lets go of my arm. I turn to look at him. There’s a foot with a sneaker on it sticking out from between his legs. Just as quickly as I see it, it disappears. Mr. Dutch is the one making the pain sound. He reaches down and clutches his crotch, and his knees give out and he falls forward. Someone kicked this poor man in the testicles!
The foot belongs to the girl with the short, bleached blonde hair. She stands over the large, crumpled form of Dutch and looks at me with a triumphant grin.
“Bleep the authority!” she shouts and pumps her fist in the air. She’s wearing like a dozen rings on the one hand. How can she fit so many rings on such stubby fingers? “Let’s go!” she yells in my face even though I’m right there next to her.
Her friend Johnny is with her. He’s looking around anxiously. “Yeah, let’s get out of here already!”
I’m flabbergasted. “But Mr. Dutch was a good guy!” I try to tell the two of them.
They’re completely enthralled by their own sense of pride in a job well done, saving the little, bloody girl from the big man at the traveling carnival. Mr. Dutch is groaning in severe, testicle-kicked pain. I reach down to try to help him, and the blonde girl grabs my wrist.
“What are you doing?” she asks me through a smile that says she doesn’t even really care what my answer is, “we’re rescuing you! Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth, let’s hoof it!”
I feel like that’s one too many horse-themed expressions in a single statement, but I don’t say anything. And not just that, there’s like twelve too many people getting involved in my problems lately. I’m not a complete idiot, I know well what happens to people around me. My whole family is dead. My best friend is... probably a little, black cloud that’s doing some sort of weird interpretive dance over the crumpled form of poor Dutch with the swollen balls. People get hurt around me. Hell, poor Dutch can attest to that at the moment. People die around me. People get torn apart by skinless dogs that form out of fungus that used to be old ladies and I can’t believe that’s even an actual thing I saw. I saw that. That happened.
I take the girl’s hand and remove it from my arm. “Look, I don’t know you or Johnny and you both seem really nice, but you need to get out of here before you get hurt. I’ll be okay. Mr. Dutch was taking me to get help. The bad people are coming, and they like to smoke. They’ve got an angel of death tied up somewhere. And there’s someone much, much worse who could show up any time.”
I think I lost them both somewhere around the part about that creep Gin being a smoker. The boy Johnny does another anxious look around the area, then he grabs the girl’s arm. “Nance, let’s just go. I didn’t come here to get murdered by some whacked-out carney cult.”
The girl Nance drops her arm and shakes her head at me. She starts to open her mouth to say something, then crumples it up into a little mouth and turns and trots away after Johnny. I watch them go. I don’t know who they were, but I hope they get far, far away. The curse of getting involved in my life has a long reach and is unforgiving.
After they leave, I kneel down and pat Mr. Dutch on the back. “All you alright, Mr. Dutch?” I ask him. He mutters something I can’t understand because he’s got his face shoved into the ground.
“You’re not cursed, Lily,” Paschar comments.
“Then why do bad things always happen to people around me?”
“Because your gift is chaotic,” I hear me say. Except I didn’t say it. Not me me anyway.
Paschar whispers, “Oh no.”
I feel the presence of another person standing right behind me. Unlike Nance and Johnny, this person didn’t make a sound. It was as if they rose up out of the ground or descended from the sky as silent as a feather touching a pillow. My whole body tenses up. That sounds impossible but it totally is possible and it’s incredibly uncomfortable. Don’t question it.
I turn around slowly. First at the neck, then the shoulder, finally at the waist. Why am I dragging this out? Because I don’t want to look behind me at the person because I know exactly who it is and I really don’t feel like peeing my pants right now. Or ever. But especially now.
For a second I think I’m just looking in a mirror because I see my own face. Except my actual face probably has more blood on it currently. But less blood everywhere else.
Samael smiles at me. “You got here ahead of me.” He looks at my clothes and then tilts his head and examines my face. “And from the looks of it, you’ve had one Hell of a time. Who did this to you? Was it him?” He points at Mr. Dutch who has finally rolled over onto his back and is staring up at the starry night sky with teary eyes and a really red face.
“This isn’t my blood,” I tell him.
He grins. “But this is,” he gestures at himself. Don’t pee, Lily. Don’t pee.
Paschar raises his voice. “Sam, please, you’ve got to come back! You’re unwell.”
“Really?? Did you really think that’s going to work?” That’s me talking. Actual me. Not Samael. “You can’t appeal to crazy! I mean, come on. You’ve got to have something to back your words up with. When in the history of ever has someone been on the verge of destroying a small carnival and someone else said, ‘don’t do it!’ and they were like, ‘oh, okay.’? Never!”
“She’s right.” Samael says, nodding and raising an eyebrow. Hey, I can’t do that. I try to raise one eyebrow, but I just end up raising both. So I stop and try again. But then I stop completely before it looks like I’m wiggling my eyebrows at him. He stares at me blankly for a moment after, then blinks a couple times and shakes his head.
Mr. Dutch rolls over and gets up onto his hands and knees. He lets out a big breath, then sits up and tilts his head back to look at Samael and me together. There’s a moment where he seems to accept what he’s seeing, but then he clenches his eyes shut, reopens them, cranes his neck forward and looks back and forth between us.
“Don’t hurt him,” says Paschar.
Samael smirks. It’s starting to feel surreal to see myself making faces when I can feel that I’m not. Also, everything’s slightly off because I’m looking at my actual face and not a mirror reflection of it. “I’m not here for Mr. Dutch,” says Samael, “I’m here for the rune-maker, remember? I’m here for Felix Clay.”
“Lillian Alexandra Madwhip!” someone shouts from the direction Mr. Dutch and I just walked away from.
As if he was just waiting in the shadows --which he probably was because it’s such a Felix thing to do-- Felix freaking Clay steps from seemingly out of nowhere and stands about ten yards down the alleyway from us behind Samael. Beside him is his orange-haired friend Gin, smoking another cigarette from the looks of the little glow I can see in his hand. I should have smelled him coming.
They’re a little ways off, but I can see them both pretty clearly, and Felix isn’t smiling. It occurs to me that he always smiled before, even when he was doing things that shouldn’t have made him happy. It’s like his smile is a mask he hides behind. But not now. Now he looks angry. And annoyed. And --why is he holding that hammer? He’s not even holding it right; he’s got the claw side down. He can’t hammer a nail that way unless his arms work backward.
“You came for me and here I am!” Felix yells at us, “But I told you not to come back. So now--” He and his Irish buddy Mr. Gin start marching toward us with very purposeful strides, and I can’t understand what he’s saying after the “so now” part. Mr. Gin pulls something I can’t see out of his coat and holds it close at his side. No doubt it’s a weapon, I just don’t know if it’s a stabby weapon or a shooty weapon or what.
Samael doesn’t look at them. He’s focused on me. He’s smiling. His hands are clenched at his sides, and I remember well that there’s a rune on one that lets him punch through people like they’re made of Play-doh.
As for me, I’m torn. Do I warn Felix that Samael can karate chop him into bits like some sort of bad horror movie? Or do I watch this play out? Maybe I should take this opportunity to just run. I mean, I can’t win against any of these people. Who am I? I’m a Knife That Cuts the Veil that’s dulled by the runes all over the carnival grounds.
While I stand there lost in that thought, Samael reaches forward and pokes me in the forehead. He starts moving his finger around. I just stand there and stare at him, waiting for him to jab a hole right through my head. Don’t pee, Lily. Don’t pee. What the heck is he doing?
“There,” he whispers to me, finishing whatever it is, “that should keep you safe. Just don’t smear it or your head might explode.”
As soon as he lifts his finger away, I can feel it. That tension I had that I mentioned early was all through my body, it just vanishes. I almost go completely slack in fact, but manage to hold myself up. Then comes a wave of warmth starting at the spot on my forehead that he last touched and encompassing my entire head, traveling down my neck, across my chest, down both arms at the same time, through my midsection and then hips, legs, ending at the tips of my toes. The pain in my abdomen that I had actually forgotten about also vanishes. I reach into the hole in my shirt to feel the wound. It’s still there and I feel my fingertip actually go inside the stabby hole for a second before I realize I’m still hurt; I just can’t feel it anymore.
“Who’s your little friend?”
Felix and Gin have finally reached us. Gin looks smugly at me, still holding his hand by his side. Samael turns to face them finally and Gin’s smug look is replaced with one of confusion. Felix stops mid-stride and even takes a step back. He also has a confused expression on his face. I don’t need to see Samael’s face to know he’s got the biggest grin on it right now.

Firestorm 113 T.M Imran vs Cactus Mike Face To Face
Trust me if it was up to me this segment had been posted Way sooner but reddit can't stop being reddit
__________________________________
Soundtrack: Full Circle By Creed
Prologues
Part 1
Part 2
After multiple weeks of back and forth between the Television Champion T.M Imran and The Challenger Cactus Mike is set to go Face to Face in a verbal battle right here tonight on Firestorm 113
Electric Eye starts playing on the PA system. The echo of the music rocks the live crowd. The Champion T.M Imran walks out of the curtains with a microphone in hand and the Television Championship over his shoulders. Imran isn't in his wrestling gear, rather his signature street outfit. Black jeans and jacket with light blue sneakers and T-Shirt. T.M Imran has his wristwatch over his knuckles rather than the wrist as usual. The Champion socks in love from the crowd with a smile on his face but he doesn't play up to the crowd like usual. T.M Imran storms down the ramp in a quick fashion. He walks up the steel steps and enters into the ring. Imran walks right into the middle of the ring. He gives a couple of seconds pause, waiting for his music to cut off. The music goes off and Imran starts speaking
T.M: DAMN It doesn't feel the way it should feel. I mean I'm very used to coming out here, in front of you all and rambling around for minutes, that may feel like ages to some. And I'm a man who believes in action before words but usually whenever it's time to talk. I feel hyped talking to you guys. But tonight something is different. Tonight, I'm not in so much of a mood to talk. Even though it's been promoted as a FACE TO FACE, I'm not in the mood to talk a lot. And I think I know why. For the past 2 weeks I think I've said a lot. I've verbally trashed my opponent and rightfully so because I don't want to face a man who's at the lowest of his confidence and on the highest level of excuses. Little did I know that I'm facing, also lack the ability to hear and process a very simple message. I'm not in the mood to talk a lot because if I talk a lot. I'll only raise more questions for my opponent and I've not even gotten the answers of the last ones
T.M Imran looks at the stage and continues talking
T.M: I'm not in the mood to talk for much longer and raise more questions because I'm in the mood to hear the answers from you first, Mike. So before I provide you the stage to have the spotlight on yourself. Let me reiterate the questions you need to answer. Why don't you sound confident for your match against me? Is it because you know what I and everyone else here already know, that you're not ready just yet. Why did you use the family and kids instead of depending on your skills to feed them? Is it because you're desperate to be loved and respected by us? Dude, no matter how desperate you're. You aren't going to get the love and respect just because you're desperate for it. You've to earn it. Why did you've to lean on thanking these great fans and reminding them about the autographs you sign for them or the selfies you take with them instead of telling them what you could do for them in this ring? Is it because you know that was your only excuse for their support because you can't do a damn s** against me in this ring. Now I'm gonna drop this microphone right here in the middle of this ring. While you've to come out here and answer us, why did you ignore the very serious challenge of a fight in front of you and make me look like a devious man after your livelihood? Come out here, Mike
T.M Imran drops the microphone and leans on the ropes, waiting for Cactus Mike while leaving space for him 6
Once echo throughout the arena as fans began to chant "MIKE". Mike comes out, marching down to the ring. Mike enters the ring. Mike and Imran stare at each other for a bit. Mike grabs the microphone and starts addressing T.M
Mile: Let’s talk, TiM. You say I use my family. My family is my life, I would never use them just to get a few cheers. If I was going to exploit them I would be walking around carrying Noah all day but I don’t.
Mike gets closer to T.M right in his face
Mike: I’ve said from the beginning I respect you but every week you walk out here in those tight ass pants, I regret my decision to do so. You want to be a badass anti hero but in reality you look like a Limp Bizkit reject. You love to make finger guns well I like to use my fingers to
Mike throws a middle up in the air towards T.M and T.M shrugs it off with a smirk. Mike continues
Mike: Confidence issues are something I don’t have. I'm not a cocky bastard, unlike some in this business, I won’t mention because that’s TMI. I get where you're coming from, maybe I should bet on myself more. But what I’ve done so far, I’m proud of so nothing needs to be changed. After all, it won me my first Television Championship. Speaking of which, the TV title on your shoulder means a hell of a lot to me. It means different things to me than you. For me it’s a meal ticket for my kids, not just a fancy trophy to show how good I am.
It looked like for a moment that Mike was about to leave but Mike takes one more step closer to T.M to say
Mike: And finally, I’m not scared of anyone. Especially a rip-off of my good friend Soda. Eat this asshole.
Mike throws a punch at T.M to knock him back. It stuns the Champion, makes him angry but also brings a smirk on his face. This is what Imran was trying to do for weeks. T.M rubs the side of the face that was impacted by Mike's attack. Imran gets face to face with Mike. T.M yells at Mike
T.M: I'M GLAD YOU FINALLY SHOWED YOUR AGGRESSION. YOU WANNA SEE MINE
The crowd erupts as T.M Imran drops the Television Championship to a side to ground Mike with a SINGLE LEG TAKEDOWN. Imran transitions into a flurry of SIDE HEADLOCK PUNCHES to overwhelm Mike but eventually Mike KICKS T.M at the back of his head to create separation. T.M is back up in the corner. Mike tries to jump him but Imran moves away and puts Mike in the corner under the flurry of his fists. Mike defends himself but he's unable to attack back like that. However, Mike pushes through and with a DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN drops T.M under the reigning fists but T.M reverses the positions very soon. Now Imran is reigning with big GROUNDED BLOWS that Mike is defenseless against
The FBE Tag Team Champion storms into the ring out of nowhere behind T.M Imran. Code Blue has a microsecond pause to contemplate if he should come between his former stablemate and current stablemate but he has no choice. Blue grabs T.M by the waist from behind and pulls him away from Mike before Blue tosses T.M away on the mat. Blue checks on his stablemate Cactus Mike. Who's recovering from the fight. Code Blue turns around and looks at T.M Imran on the mat with a look of realization that they're on the opposite sides now
T.M on the mat is stumned and unaware of who pulled him away but finally T.M turns to Mike and sees Code Blue standing over his stablemate Cactus Mike. Blue is ready to protect Mike from any further attacks. Mike is Blue's hand to get back up. Blue steps forward in the face of T.M Imran. Both Imran and Blue show slight hesitation in making the first move of attack. The two carefully observe each other's body language and are ready to defend themselves as they come to the realization that their team PRIMETIME is no more. Which means that they're on the opposite sides now. But still the past is holding them away from making the first move
Suddenly Cactus Mike from behind politely pushes Blue away. Mike tries to jump T.M but T.M catches him with a SPINEBUSTER into GROUNDED FOREARMS. Code Blue sees this and pulls T.M off Mike. Reminiscent of what happened moments ago. However, this time on pure instinct Code Blue delivers a big RIGHT HAND to T.M, knocking him down. T.M Imran looks at Blue from the mat. He's slightly upset but he understands what it has come to. Blue can also be seen contemplating his decision to hit T.M out of instinct. Imran gets back up and stares Blue with intensity in the atmosphere
The silence takes over the entire arena for a couple of seconds. Finally T.M Imran and Code Blue swing with BLOWS at each other, simultaneously connecting with PUNCHES. The crowd erupts at the beginning of the brawl. Blue is connecting with stiff ELBOW STRIKES to T.M but instead of protecting himself. Imran responds back with stiff FOREARMS. Blue tries a LEAPING ELBOW but T.M dodges and sends Blue in the corner with a SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX. Blue immediately pops up into the nearby corner. T.M charges at Blue in the corner. Blue defends and knocks Imran back with a JUMPING KNEE STRIKE, knocking him into Cactus Mike. Mike jumps on T.M with a RARE NAKED CHOKE. T.M stumbles backwards and runs Mike head first into the top turnbuckle. Blue tries to attack T.M but his strikes are dodged, and Blue gets shoved back. T.M Imran picks up Cactus Mike over his shoulders for a WEAK END but Code Blue hits T.M with a DROPKICK in the knees. T.M goes down on 1 knee. Mike escapes out of the fireman's carry. Before Mike and Blue could make a second move
Out of nowhere Erick Koeman appears to his stablemate T.M Imran. Erick jumps at Code Blue with a HURRICANRANA. Blue goes sliding out of the ring. Mike tries to attack Erick but Erick side steps. Mike hits head first to the turnbuckle. Erick catches Mike off guard with a CODE BREAKER. Mike goes down on 1 Knee. Erick helps T.M Imran back to his feet. Code Blue joins Mike in the ring. Mike locks eyes with T.M Imran. Erick locks eyes with Blue. Is it Ark vs PROVINCE?
The Crowd goes wild. T.M Imran charges at Mike with a flurry of PUNCHES to the corner. Blue attacks Erick with a flurry of KICKS AND ELBOWS into the ropes. The crowd is going crazy at the brawl. Blue with a CLOTHESLINE to Erick over the ropes but Erick hangs on, sending Blue out of the ring. T.M tries to hit a CORNER RUNNING ATTACK to Mike but Mike BOOTS him in the head. Mike attempts a RUNNING TACKLE at Imran but Imran steps aside and shoves Mike over the ropes out of the ring, near Code Blue. Imran and Erick hypes up the crowd and mocks Blue and Mike to get back in the ring. Mike and Blue are about to jump back in the ring but a swarm of referees appears to hold them back. A couple of referees get in the ring to request Erick and Imran to stop as well. At this point the blood starts pouring from the forehead of the Television Champion. T.M grabs the microphone to address the situation while he's out of breath
T.M: I…. I didn't expect this to come down to this. And I'm not talking to you, Mike. I'm talking to Code Blue. We've been through a lot brother and we've been through a lot together but I think for the longest time. We've tried to deny that we stand on the opposite sides of the ring after PRIMETIME. I guess sooner or later we'd have to face reality. Well… so be it. You wanna fight for your boy. I wanna defend my boy, Erick. Mike, you said a lot of things that I disagree with tonight but I'll leave that to address for another time but I'll leave you with this. You call me cocky? Huh? See this cocky champion has almost fixed your confidence issues and brought you to the best promo of your FBE career so far. Best promo of your career is the key line here. But I'm glad about it. What I'm disappointed in is I hoped we could keep our teams out of this. But I think beggars can't be choosers. I wanted your aggression out on display. I got it. Now I can't complain about our teams. Speaking of which, it's not that bad after all. We can use it to warm up before our title match and test your new found aggression. At Unbreakable T.M, Imran defends his FBE Television Championship against Cactus Mike. But at Blitz. It'll be Cactus Mike and Code Blue vs T.M Imran vs Erick Koeman in a tag team match
The challenge thrills Code Blue and Cactus Mike. They nod in thrill as an acceptance to the challenge as the referees pull Code Blue and Cactus Mike out of the scene. While T.M Imran and Erick Koeman hype the crowd up in thrill

Welcome back and happy Saturday! More philosophy to ponder on in the second discussion of Meditations. This section in particular felt very personal, as it was meant to be read, as an admonishment to self. Marcus Aurelius continually brings up several points: live to work, be patient with your fellow human beings and be neutral to pleasure and pain.
Perhaps it was the influence of his co-ruler, Lucius Verus,from_a_villa_belonging_to_Lucius_Verus_in_Acqua_Traversa_near_Rome,_between_AD_180_and_183_AD,_Louvre_Museum(23450299872).jpg), who was sent East during the revival of the Parthian-Roman War, in modern-day Syria. The Parthian king, Vologases IV of Parthia, invaded the Kingdom of Armenia, which was then a Roman client state. Roman troops from Syria went to his aid but collapsed in the fight. In addition, Syria was in rebellion and other foreign threats faced the empire. Perhaps on Fronto's advice, Marcus Aurelius sent Lucius Verus to take control there and turn the situation around. Already with a reputation in Rome for his debaucheries, Verus processed east on a pleasure jaunt, with side trips to go hunting, feasting, join the Eleusinian mystery rites, and finally arrived in Antioch. There, Lucius Verus proceeded to live a life of luxury, took up with a local lady, Panthea of Smyrna, and spent nights gambling. He would write back to Rome to hear the results of his favorites in chariot races. This personality seemed to be the inverse of everything M.A. writes. And to be fair to L.V. , he is credited with starting a new training program for the Eastern troops, spending time with them and, although he never saw combat, the Romans were able to come to Armenia's defense and liberation, and invaded Parthian land after that.
As usual, I will give you some discussion questions but feel free to add anything else you would like to discuss, quotes, whatever below.
​
Books 4:

1. M.A. writes "Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul". Certainly, this is a big ask as a leader with responsibilities and don't mistake this as saying he never took a break, or retreat-he did. How do you view this passage?
2. We are reminded of several points over and over in different ways. Do you find the Stoic perspective persuasive?
3. He makes several references to the idea that rationality and law emanate from people. He also talks about "world-law", which sems a very modern concept. Are you surprised by some of his thoughts on this subject?

​
Book 5:

1. M.A. writes "Reserve your right to any deed or utterance that accords with nature. Do not be put off by the criticism or comments that may follow; if there is something good to be done or said, never renounce your right to it". How does this sort of leadership fit in with the work of overseeing an Empire?
   
2. Another passage states: "The execution and fulfillment of Nature's decrees should be viewed in the same way as we view our bodily health; even if what befalls is unpalatable, nevertheless always receive it gladly, for it makes of the health of the universe, and even for the well-being and well-doing of Zeus himself". Can this be justified in a modern world, with a different outlook on health, longevity and quality of life?
   
3. Did you like the take on the "goods" joke, comparing objects and values? What do you think about it?
   

​
Book 6:

1. What are some of your favorite quotes in this entire section of our reading? I particularly liked "To refrain from imitation is the best revenge".
   
2. M.A. posits "Either the world is a mere hotch-potch of random cohesions and dispersions, or else it is a unity of order and providence"-which do you think it is?
   
3. In terms of what is the meaning of life, M.A. writes "In my judgment, this: to work out, in action and inaction alike, the purpose of our natural constitutions". How very philosophically minded of him! Do you agree?

Discussion 1

https://hanifkureishi.substack.com/p/rereading-the-graduate

I'm not sure how many folks are aware, around the end of December, the screenwriter & novelist Hanif Kureishi was out walking in Rome, he fainted, falling and landing on his head, he woke up paralyzed from the neck down. He is in his late-60's.
Kureishi is best known for flicks like Venus (2006) with Peter O'Toole, My Son The Fanatic (1997) with Om Puri, his most recent credit was for Le Weekend (2013) with Jim Broadbent and Lindsay Duncan.
He is voice transcribing a substack blog, https://hanifkureishi.substack.com/ - "Dispatches from my hospital bed. Writing on writing; sex and drugs and music, TV shows and writers I admire, my memories, among other matters."
His most recent post was today, about the short novel turned famous movie The Graduate (1967) and is a quick interesting read. Another way to see The Graduate.
His stuff isn't for everyone, either his movies - My Son the Fanatic I think is brilliant, and to my young self Sammy and Rosie Get Laid (nee Fucked) was eye opening - or his postings like On Cunnilingus, Envy, and Other Matters. He has been posting regularly since January, and has some fascinating stuff.
If you are into movies for adults (any cunnilingus in the MCU at all?) it is definitely worth the read. Venus to some extent covers the vibe.

Ver. 3.0.1 I want to take the time to provide some tips on how to improve and make best use of the terrain. Talking strictly about turf war maps since other modes are just variations.
In general, use height in any available way to get the upper hand. If you are higher than opponent you have advantage. Utilize cover to dodge, recover, and hide. Your line of sight is key. If you can anticipate what your opponent will do you can counter. If you can't push, try to flank - even if you can't take anyone out reducing their mobility may be enough to help your team make a successful play. Check the minimap occasionally, especially when things seem too easy. Most importantly, play cooperatively with your team. Also knowing your weapon matchups helps a lot.
Now onto the stages Scorch Gorge: if you can't push directly through there are two spots from spawn that can drop down into the flanks, on the right and left. Both are solid options but if you have the range, go up under the big metal balls and snipe. Generally, if you can get even half of mid and a flank locked down you should be able to take the rest. Just pay attention to the mid's center high ground
Eeltail Alley: lots of people complain its too streamlined. I disagree. There are plenty of inkable blocks on bottom for both left and right to be able to climb into the next little pocket and plenty of cover to take advantage of. The upper path isn't always locked down by sniper. Throw a bomb and move. No bombs? No problem. Take the lower route and utilize its plentiful cover.
Hagglefish Market: with a very open mid it's easy to get discouraged. Duck behind corners and make sure you have an escape route if things get dicey. The side routes around mid are good if your team gets pushed back a little too far and you need to pincer the enemy.
Undertow Spillway: even if you don't have a lot of range, those upper flanks are a good way to annoy the enemy enough for distraction and get rid of their mobility. The back lower pockets are more for recovery and regrouping if you are getting overwhelmed in either of the two mid lanes. Having your walls inked is key in this map
Mincemeat metalworks: dropdowns to mid and flank are your best routes rather than the big metal bridge in the center. If you can get to enemy base and remove their long range capabilities you can shut them down pretty quickly, just don't stay for too long.
Hammerhead Bridge: Teamwork is key to this stage. Because of the limited flanking and straight path from spawn to spawn it is imperative that you not only push as a team but also stick together and don't go ahead alone. Always make sure you and your team have an escape route, and make proper use of the mid's differing heights and cover.
Museum d'Alfonsino: few things are as important as the spinning platforms that allow enemies to get into your base and vice-versa. However, you'll lose if you just camp on that edge so make sure to get down into mid and cover that ground. Flank routes are available but are pretty small so make sure the enemy is well distracted if you intend to use them.
Mahi-Mahi Resort: cover doesn't matter as much as height difference does here. Since cover is pretty much blown by the mid 3 wooden towers, and flank routes don't offer much in the ways of getting around enemies unless they are already in your base your priority should be securing at least enemy half of mid and the towers. From there the rest should fall into place as long as someone is inking.
Inkblot Art Academy: don't forget about the flanks. There is a concrete block at the top of those ramps that are inkable and perfect for taking cover. Dive behind corners for cover as well. You can pretty easily get to enemy base from the mid tower. A good sniper position is on top of the non inkable wall by the ramp that leads down to mid since it puts you right in front of enemy spawn and flank AND gives a good spot to drop down for cover. Keep pressure on enemy base and you should come away with a W.
Sturgeon Shipyard: with lots of options to get to and from mid its really just about picking the best route. It may not always be wise to dive into the whole enemy team on the middle ground, sometimes playing aggressive and heading around to enemy spawn is the better option even for a distraction. The upper flank to the right of spawn is a great getaway route.
MakoMart: With the really open mid it gets really important not to just rush in. Going around the outside will often prove useful since you can easily get to mid from anywhere since almost all the walls are inkable. Utilize not only your side lanes, but the enemies' as well.
Wahoo World: "All routes lead to mid. It's a snipers paradise" well yeah if you keep just going to the mid circle. Nobody says you have to. The small walls that surround mid are great for cover and height advantage. The brick wall is intended to be climbed up to suprise that pocket. You can use the inkable rotating wall to pop up anywhere around its circumference. Routes here are only limited if you keep trying to push in the same place coming from the same direction. This stage is great for circling around behind enemy lines.
Brinewater Springs: the whole map is super open making it sniper paradise. You can circumvent that with some precise squid rolls from the ramp off of flank. On the flip side, you can see everyone's movement from mid. Keep an eye on how your enemy is moving and where to anticipate and counter. Even if you make it up to enemy spawn they can just as easily take the long fall down to flank and then mid.
Flounder Heights: a little used route is from spawn staying along the left of the ramp going up and going up that inkable wall to mid. Whoever controls the higher ground here wins. But, don't forget you don't have to go all the way up. Sometimes quickly getting over mid and down to enemy base is what is needed. Best advice I can give on this stage is to try to use misdirection or force someone to move the way you want.
Um'ami Ruins: two routes to mid are straight down the ramp into mid, and around to the right by the circular platform. There is also that lower route though with the ink rail. This is similar to Undertow in that there are essentially 2 mid lanes. For all intents and purposes, your best bet is to focus on the lane on your side and then go from there. The mid platform is essentially what determines win or loss since your team can stick to that and just in front of enemy lanes to dominate the map.
Manta Maria: with all the inkable walls there is a plethora of ways to get around the map. What's more is that every spot has potential to turn the tides. This is my favorite map because of the many possibilities for flanks, suprise attacks, counters, sniper positions, and overall design. The stage is best suited to players who can fully utilize everything mentioned in the general tips. If one route is shut down you can always garuntee there is another that is wide open.
I will try to remember to come update this as more maps come out. If you can think of more or better suggestions please leave a comment. I'm not a pro player but I notice a lot of players struggling with terrain and matchups. These tips won't always help because sometimes the matches are just unbalanced in terms of weaponry choices and skills, but at least I hope this helps someone

THAT'S HOME INVASION WITH DWELLING
A FEW STEPS AWAY FROM KIDNAPPING AND MURDER
THE FELONY MAKES IT HARDER TO SECURE LEGIT EMPLOYMENT
NO ONE TRUSTS YOU
YOU DO DIRT TO PAY YOUR RENT
WHY ARE YOU EVEN HERE?
IT SOUNDS HARSH
YEA IT SOUNDS HARSH
RAISE YOUR BABY BOY TO BE A CRIMINAL
SEE WHAT HAPPENS
GIVE THE DICE A ROLL THEN
TEACH THEM CRIME IS OK
TEACH THEM THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT
TEACH THEM A LIFE OF NO CONSEQUENCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
THE THOUGHT GROWS FIRMER AND FIRMER WITHIN THEIR BRAIN
THEIR HUMAN MINDS
THE GOVERNMENT IS CORRUPT
WE ALL BELIEVE THIS
RIGHT?
SHOULD WE BE AS CORRUPT AS THEM?
UH
PUT A PIN IN THAT
THEY WANT US TO BE CRIMINALS WITH NO RULES
SO THEY CAN LOCK US UP
THEY WANT US ALL IN CHAINS
THEY WANT YOU AND HIM AND HER AND THEM
ALL TIED AND GAGGED
BOUND BY CHAINS
BOUND IN CHAINS
CHAINS EVERYWHERE YOU GO
EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK THERE THAT IS A CHAIN
WAITING FOR YOU TO WRAP YOUR FREEDOM AROUND IT LIKE A FUZZY WARM LONG BLANKET
YOU ARE EASIER TO CONTROL IN PRISON
THEN WHEN YOU GET OUT
YOU'RE JUST UNCONTROLLABLE
YOU'LL LAND RIGHT BACK IN CHAINS
THEY SET IT UP LIKE THIS
THE PRISON IS IT'S OWN JUNGLE
THE JUNGLE WITHIN THE JUNGLE
THE CONCRETE JUNGLE
WITHIN THE CONCRETE JUNGLE
IN THERE YOU HAVE TO BE AN ANIMAL
NO NERDS SAFE IN PRISON
YOU'LL HAVE TO STAB SOMEONE
ON THE FIRST DAY FOR SOLITUDE
DON'T PLAY IN THE STREETS
PLAY ON THE SIDEWALK
THE SIDEWALK IS YOUR HUMAN MIND
LIVE INSIDE OF YOUR MIND
IT WAS GIVEN TO YOU
IT WAS A GIFT
BY GOD AND FROM GOD
THE VISIONS INSIDE OF YOUR MIND ARE YOUR ONLY FOCUS
WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT TO YOU THAN YOUR VISION?
IF YOU PURSUE THE VISION, THE UNIVERSE WILL HELP YOU OUT
YOU ARE HELPING OUT THE UNIVERSE
STAY INSIDE OF YOUR MIND
EVERYTHING ELSE IS SOME ONE ELSE'S CREATION
THEY CREATED WITH THEIR MINDS
YOUR MIND IS YOUR SANCTUARY
KEEP IT SANCT AND IN TACT
BY STAYING TO YOURSELF
OTHER PEOPLE WILL RUIN YOUR BRAIN
IN GENERAL
THE GENERAL POPULATION WILL RUIN A NON GENERAL BRAIN
IS YOUR BRAIN A GENERAL POPULATION BRAIN?
DO YOU HAVE SOLITARY THOUGHTS?
DOES THE GENERAL POPULATION RELATE TO YOUR SOLITARY THOUGHTS IS THE QUESTION
DO THEY?
DO YOU WANT TO THINK LIKE YOU OR LIKE THEM?
SIMPLE QUESTION
WOULD YOU LIKE FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO RUIN YOUR MIND?
YOUR BRAIN?
YOUR PEACE OF MIND?
PYSCHOLOGICAL DAMAGE IS IRREVERSIBLE
CAN'T ERASE TRAUMA
THESE STREETS WILL TRAUMATIZED
THE STREET FELLAS AND STREET GALS WILL TRAUMATIZE YOU
THEY WILL HURT HOW YOUR COMPUTER PROCESSES
YOUR VISION IN YOUR HEAD IS GRANDER THAN ANYONE ELSE'S IDEAS FOR YOU LIFE
PURSUE MORE IDEAS NOT MORE PEOPLE
PURSUE THE VISION
THE VISION WITHIN YOUR MIND
PURSUE THIS
WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART
WITH ALL OF YOUR MIND
WITH ALL OF YOUR BODY
WITH ALL OF YOUR SOUL
YOUR SPIRIT TOO
ALL OF YOUR ENERGY
ALL OF YOUR EMOTION
NO MATTER HOW YOU FEEL
PRACTICE
IN A LIVE GAME YOU WON'T ALWAYS FEEL GOOD
THEN YOU WILL KNOW HOW TO COMPETE REGARDLESS
WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM LIFE?
THE STREETS ARE THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT'S DESIGN
THEIR CREATION
THEY CREATED IT TO GET YOU OUT OF THE DEVIL'S WAY
BY PLACING YOU IN HIS WORLD
THE STREETS BELONG TO THE DEVIL
GOD DOESN'T RULE THE STREETS
THE STREETS ARE BETTING ON THE DEVIL TO SURVIVE
FOLLOW YOUR DESTINY AND YOU WILL THRIVE
YOU HAVE NO CHOICE
THE ONES IN THE STREET HAVE NO CHOICE
WHAT ELSE DO THEY KNOW?
THEY TELL YOU HOW MUCH MORE THEY KNOW
DOES NOT COMPUTE
ERROR COMMA ERROR
THEIR ACTIONS REFLECT NOT ANOTHER LIFESTYLE
THEY ARE LOST
DAZED
AND CONFUSED
ALL THEY SEE IS THE JUNGLE
THE JUNGLE IS MORE VIVID THAN THEIR IMAGINATION
THEY LITERALLY CAN NOT SEE PAST THE JUNGLE
WHO IS TO BLAME FOR THIS?
I BLAME THE GOVERNMENT
WHO DO YOU BLAME?
THE STREET TIMER?
OH IT'S HIS FAULT
IT ALWAYS FALLS DOWN TO THE LEADER
HE DOESN'T LEAD ANYTHING BUT A LIFE OF CRIME
I LEAD A NERDY LIFE
WHO ARE WE LEADING?
OURSELVES!
WE LEAD OURSELVES
SO WHY ARE THEY OUR GOVERNMENT?
THEY WATCH US DESTROY OURSELVES IN THEIR TRAPS
JUNGLES HAVE TO HAVE TRAPS THEY SAY
OH YEA YOU SAID THAT
CAUSE I HEARD YOU THAT'S HOW
ALL I'M SAYING IS THE STREET CRIMER DESTINY IS NOT WHAT YOU WANT
BUT IF IT IS THEN GO ROB 10 BANKS IN ONE DAY
RUN UP IN EVERY HOUSE ON THE BLOCK
TURN UP THE DIAL
TO THE MAX
LIFE IS JUST GRAND THEFT AUTO SAN ANDREAS FOR YOU HUH CJ?

GOOD AFTERNOON READERS, MY NAME IS CHIZZY CHAD ROGERS AKA THE WHITE RABBIT OR THE DXY RAIN MAN. THEY CALL ME THE RAIN MAN BASED ON MY ABILITY TO ASCERTAIN KEEN OBSERVATIONS FROM STUDYING THE CURRENCY MARKET CHARTS. I HOLD STOCKS AND CRYPTO AS FAR AS VALUE INVESTING GOES BUT I AM A BONAFIDE CURRENCY SPECULATOR, IT IS HOW I PLAN TO FUND AS MUCH VALUE INVESTING AS MY SOUL DESIRES.
I STARTED TRADING CURRENCY FOUR YEARS AGO, I SPENT FOUR YEARS JUST CRASHING THE ACCOUNTS AND STUDYING THRU HINDSIGHT WHY IT DID WHAT IT DID, AND WHY I DID WHAT I DID. NOW WE ARE A FEW INCHES AWAY FROM THE GLORY WE SOUGHT OUT AFTER AND SO WE ARE STARTING A YOUTUBE TRADING CHANNEL WITH PODCASTS AND SKITS TO ILLUSTRATE THE PROPER TRADING STRATEGY. BEFORE I STARTED TRADING I WAS A FILMMAKER SO THE CONTENT WILL BE FROM AN ACTUAL ARTIST WHO LEARNED TO TRADE IN ORDER TO FUND HIS ART.
HOW WE ARE GOING TO CONDUCT THIS SUB REDDIT IS TO CONTINOUSLY POST THE FOUR HORSEMEN FOR TWO DIFFERENT CHARTS AT A TIME. WE WILL CHECK THE FOUR HORSEMEN ON BOTH CHARTS. FOR EXAMPLE, I TRADE SILVER PRIMARILY. SILVER PAYS MY BILLS. FOR EVERY 10 PIPS OR 100 POINTS OR 10 CENTS IN PRICE LEVEL SILVER MOVES IN THE WAGED DIRECTION, THE PROFIT IS $10 PER TRADE. I TRADE 0.05-0.10 LOT SIZES. THAT IS 50 CENTS TO $1 PER POINT. THERE ARE TEN POINTS PER PIP. PIP MEANS "POINTS IN PERCENTAGES."
https://www.investing.com/indices/usdollar-technical
​
THIS IS THE SITE I USE TO CONFIRM MY ENTRY AND EXIT POINTS. INVESTING.COM TECHNICALS CHART. I AM LOOKING AT THE FOUR HORSEMEN OR THE FOUR MUSKETEERS. THE VERY FIRST INDICATORS FOUND ON THE TECHNICALS TAB WHEN YOU SCROLL DOWN PAST THE MOVING AVERAGES BAR CHART. THEY ARE IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER: 1. THE RSI. 2. THE STOCH. 3. THE STOCH RSI. 4. THE MACD.
WHATEVER PAIR YOU ARE TRADING, YOU HAVE TO ALSO CONFIRM YOUR ENTRY AND EXIT BASED ON THE DOLLAR INDEX, THE DXY. ANY PAIR YOU ARE TRADING, IF IT HAS USD IN IT, THEN IT MUST BE TRADED USING THE DOLLAR INDEX TECHNICALS. THE FOUR INDICATORS ONLY EVER HAVE THREE SIGNALS, THEY ONLY SHOW ONE AT A TIME. WHEN YOU SEE THE HOURLY, I USE THE HOURLY RSI ON DXY CHART AS WELL AS XAGUSD, SILVER'S CHART.
THE RSI WILL ONLY EVER SAY OVER BOUGHT OVER 70, OVER SOLD UNDER 30 AND NEUTRAL NEAR 40-50. THE HOURLY CHART WILL SHOW YOU WHICH WAY THE PRICE WILL OVER EXTEND. THIS IS YOUR ENGULFING CANDLE. THE HOURLY CHART IS THE ENGULFING CANDLE YOU HEAR ABOUT. WHATEVER THE HOURLY MACD CANDLE IS, THIS IS YOUR ENGULFING CANDLE. LOOK FOR THIS ENGULF PAST THE HOURLY 200 MA OR MOVING AVERAGE. YOU CAN SEE IT RIGHT ABOVE THE RSI ON THE WEBSITE PROVIDED.
YOU WANT TO CHECK THE HOURLY RSI AND MACD FOR XAGUSD AND FOR DXY IN THIS EXAMPLE. IF YOU TRADE FIAT OR ENERGY LIKE OIL OR NATURAL GAS, IT IS THE SAME STRATEGY. PICK YOUR PAIR, FOR THIS EXAMPLE WE WILL SAY YOU AS WELL PAY YOUR BILLS WITH SILVER PROFITS, HERE WE GO.

1. STEP ONE IS GO TO INVESTING.COM TECHNICALS TWICE, ONE FOR XAGUSD OR GBPUSD AND ONE FOR THE DXY.
   
2. STEP TWO IS YOU CHECK THE HOURLY TAB FOR BOTH CHARTS, THIS IS THE ENTIRE PAIR, WITHOUT BOTH CHARTS YOU HAVE HALF OF THE INFORMATION AND IF IT'S NOT THE DXY YOU'RE OBSERVING, YOU HAVE THE WRONG SET OF INFORMATION BEING PROVIDED, WHICH YOUR PROFITS AND LOSSES ACCOUNT WILL SHORTLY REFLECT.
   
   1. STEP THREE IS YOU CHECK THE MACD ON BOTH CHARTS TO SEE THE ENGULF BEING MADE. THE SILVER HOURLY MACD IS NOW GREEN FOR BLUE BULLS TO BUY. THE DXY HOURLY MACD IS NOW RED FOR THE RED BEARS TO SELL OR SALE. ONCE YOU KNOW YOUR HOURLY ENGULFING, YOU KNOW THE SHORT IS THE OPPOSITE OF THE HOURLY MACD. YOU ONLY WANT TO SHORT THE MACD CANDLE WHEN THE DXY HOURLY RSI IS AT OVER BOUGHT OVER 70 OR NEUTRAL BETWEEN 40-50.
   2. STEP FOUR IS TO REALIZE THE NEUTRAL INDICATOR STANDS FOR "THE HOURLY MACD EXTENSION IS COMING". THE DXY AND XAGUSD CHART'S HOURLY MACD ARE OPPOSITE. NEUTRAL FOR THE HOURLY SILVER CHARTS MEANS "THOSE BUYERS ARE RELOADING UP ON THEM BUYS YA'LL BOYS." NEUTRAL FOR THE DXY HOURLY CHART MEANS "THEM BEARS ARE RELOADING UP ON THOSE SALES YA'LL BOYS."
   3. IF THE MACD HOURLY IS GREEN, THAT IS A BLUE BUY AND HERE IS YOUR MOVE. OVERSOLD RSI YOU BUY IT, AT NEUTRAL YOU BUY IT AND AT OVERSOLD OVER 70 RSI HOURLY YOU SELL IT. IN THIS EQUATION, YOU ONLY HAVE ONE SELL TRADE, ONE SHORT AND IT IS OVER BOUGHT OVER 70 HOURLY RSI INDICATOR. BEFORE YOU EXECUTE THIS TRADE, YOU MUST CONFIRM IT WITH THE HOURLY DXY RSI. THE DXY IS $103.30. XAGUSD PER OUNCE IS $21.600. THE DOLLAR IS OBVIOUSLY ORE EXPENSIVE THAN SILVER, BUT IT IS NOT ALWAYS SO OBVIOUSLY AT FIRST. YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THE LEAD OF THE BIGGER AND MORE EXPENSIVE PREDATOR IN THE JUNGLE MARKET.
   4. BEFORE YOU BUY SILVER, YOU WANT YOUR TWO RSI INDICATORS TO REFLECT THESE VALUES. A BUY ON XAGUSD WOULD MEAN THE HOURLY MACD IS GREEN AND THE HOURLY RSI IS NEUTRAL, INDICATING AN EXPANSION TOWARDS THE HOURLY MACD OR THE CANDLE. THE MACD IS THE MOST IMPORTANT INDICATOR ONLY BECAUSE IT TELLS YOU WHAT YOUR SHORT IS. FOR A SILVER BUY I WANT TO SEE THE HOURLY DXY RSI @ OVERSOLD OR AT LEAST UNDER 30 WITH AN OVERSOLD ON THE STOCH OR THE STOCH RSI. FOR A SILVER BULL TRADE, I'M LOOKING FOR THE HOURLY XAGUSD CHART TO REFLECT THE RSI OF NEUTRAL AND THE HOURLY DXY RSI TO REFLECT AN OVER SOLD. THESE TWO HOURLY RSI VS THE MACD INDICATIONS WILL DIRECT YOU TO THE PROFITS. THE XAGUSD CHART WILL GO NEUTRAL FIRST, TO TEMPT YOU, IN ORDER TO SNATCH ALL OF YOUR HARD EARNED BREAD FASTER THAN AN ONLINE TRANSACTION. THIS IS THE PUMP FAKE. THIS IS DEFENDING KOBE BEAN BRYANT THE GOAT. HE WILL HIT YOU ABOUT THREE TIMES WITH THAT SUPER TRIPLE PUMP FAKE THEN ACE THE SHOT AND DRAW THE FOUL. YOU'RE A ROOKIE THEN.
   5. WHEN YOU WANT TO SELL SILVER, YOU SELL IT ONLY WHEN THE DOLLAR INDEX 5M AND 15M CHARTS ARE SELLING AS WELL. YOU SELL SILVER WHEN THE DOLLAR IS SELLING BC THE DOLLAR INDEX RUNS THE WHOLE SHOW WHEN OPPOSED TO $21 SILVER. $103 VS $21...WHO WILL YOU BET ON? BET ON THE TOP DOG IN THE YARD. THERE IS A DOG FIGHT GOING ON IN THE MARKET AGAINST THE PIT BULLS AND THE YORKIES AND THIS MAN YOLOED HIS RENT CHECK ON THE TOY DOG. HE PUT ALL OF HIS MONEY ON THE CUTE AND FUZZY ONE. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE SANITY REPORT OF A MAN WHO BETS ON A POODLE TO KILL THE PIT BULL? SORRY FOR THE IMAGERY BUT IT GETS THE POINT ACROSS DOESN'T IT? YOU COME BACK TO FIND NOTHING BUT FREE MARGIN BLOOD AND NEGATIVE GUTS IN THE ACCOUNT AND YOU'RE WONDERING WHERE YOU BREAD WENT...IN THE BELLY OF THE RED NOSE.
   6. WHEN YOU WANT TO SELL SILVER YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE HOURLY XAGUSD RSI TO SAY OVER BOUGHT OVER 70. YOU ALSO NEED THE HOURLY DXY RSI TO SAY OVER BOUGHT OVER 70 OR NEUTRAL. NEUTRAL MEANS TWO DIFFERENT THINGS IN THIS EQUATION BC THE HOURLY MACD DIFFER. WHEN THE DXY 15M CHART IS SELLING THEN YOU STOP SILVER BUYS AND SELL SILVER SILVER MUST COPY CAT THE 15M DXY CHART. IT IS MONKEY SEE AND MONKEY DO AS WELL AS MUSICAL CHAIRS WITH A BUNCH OF MONKEYS. IF THE HOURLY DXY MOVING AVERAGES CHART IS ALL RED AND YOU SEE A GREEN POP UP, YOUR BUY IS ON THE WAY FOR SILVER. SELL SILVER WHEN THE DXY 15M IS SELLING, UNTIL YOU SEE A BUY SIGNAL ON THE DXY 15M MOVING AVERAGES CHART ON INVESTING.COM.
   7. IF I WANTED TO SELL SILVER, I WOULD BE LOOKING FOR THE DXY 15M TO BE SELLING, I WOULD BE LOOKING FOR THE FIRST BUY SIGNAL ON THE MOVING AVERAGES TO POP UP AFTER HOURS OF THE 15M BEING ALL GREEN. YOU ARE WAITING FOR IT TO MOVE TO AN AVERAGE ON THE 5HR CHART POSSIBLY IF IT MOVES PAST THE HOURLY MA200. YOU WOULDN'T SELL UNTIL THE HOURLY 200MA GETS PUSHED PAST IT THEN RETURNS HOURS LATER. YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THE PRICE FROM CHART TO CHART, SEE HOW FAR DOWN THE NEXT CHART IT MOVES BEFORE IT LOSES POWER AND RETURNS TO THE HOURLY 200MA.
   8. A SELL EQUATION FOR SILVER LOOKS LIKE THIS TO ME...DXY HOURLY MACD IS RED SO THE RSI MUST EITHER SAY OVER BOUGHT OR NEUTRAL. THE BUY EQUATION FOR SILVER LOOKS LIKE THIS TO ME...THE DXY HOURLY MACD IS RED SO THE RSI IS TO BE AT OVER SOLD HOURLY BEFORE BUYING. THIS IS JUST THE FIRST CONFIRMATION BUT IF THE DOLLAR INDEX REFLECTS IT THEN IT IS TRUE. CONFIRM WITH BOTH CHARTS. HERE IS HOW BOTH CHARTS SHOULD READ IN BOTH EXAMPLES.
   9. XAGUSD BUY TRADE = WHEN DXY MACD IS RED AND XAG MACD IS GREEN. BUY SILVER WHEN HOURLY SILVER SAYS NEUTRAL AND THE DXY RSI HOURLY REFLECTS AN OVERSOLD.

​

1. XAGUSD SALES TRADE = WHEN DXY MACD IS RED AND XAG MACD IS GREEN. YOU SELL SILVER WHEN EITHER THE 15M DXY SUMMARY SAYS SELL OR STRONG SELL OR WAIT UNTIL XAG HOURLY RSI IS OVER BOUGHT AND THE DXY HOURLY RSI IS AT NEUTRAL.
   
2. REMEMBERING NEUTRAL MEANS RELOADING ON THE HOURLY MACD. WHEN SILVER SAYS IT IS NEUTRAL IT IS PREPARING TO EXPAND. REMEMBERING NEUTRAL FOR THE SILVER HOURLY CHART IS A BUY INDICATOR BUT BEFORE IT CAN BUY THE DXY HOURLY RSI MUST BE AT OVERSOLD...THE ONE BUY THE HOURLY BEARISH RED MACD CANDLE ALLOWS. THE HOURLY MACD CANDLE OF GREEN ONLY ALLOWS ONE SELL AND IT IS AT RSI HOURLY OVER BOUGHT. OVER SOLD AND NEUTRAL IN THIS SITUATION IS A DOUBLE BUY INDICATOR. THE HOURLY MACD CANDLE OF RED BEAR HEADS ONLY ALLOWS ONE BUY AND AT THE HOURLY RSI OF OVER SOLD. OVER BOUGHT AND NEUTRAL ARE THE TWO SALES FOR A MACD RED FORMATION.
   
   1. IF THIS STRATEGY EARNS YOU PROFIT THEN CASH APP ME @ $CFK89 FOR $10-$100 BC WE JUST SHARED HOW WE EARN 1000% PROFIT IN 12 HOURS, 2000% PROFIT DAILY. THIS WAS PRETTY THOROUGH AS AN INTRODUCTION. NOW WE CAN JUST START LINKING THE CHARTS. I WILL BE LINKING RANDOM PAIRS OTHER PEOPLE MAY TRADE TO SHOW IT TO THEM ON THEIR LEVEL OF INTEREST. WE WILL CONSTANLY BE POSTING WHAT THE RSI AND MACD ARE DOING ALONG WITH THE STOCHASTIC TWINS, THE GHOST TWINS FROM THE MATRIX RELOADED IS WHAT ER CALL THEM. WHOSEVER SIDE THE GHOST TWINS ARE ON WILL BE THE WINNERS, THEY MAKE THE DIFFERENCE. THANK YOU ALL FOR CHECKING OUT THIS CONTENT. THIS SCRIPT WILL BE USED IN MY FIRST YOUTUBE TRADING VIDEO FOR THE PODCAST.

POST TWO ON REDDIT DXYRSISPOT
THIS IS LIKE A POLICE SCANNER FOR THE RSI AND MACD HOURLY DXY VS WHATEVER YOU ARE ACTUALLY TRADING AGAINST THE DOLLAR. JUST POST WHATEVER YOU TRADE AND POST THE DXY RSI HOURLY AS WELL OR CHECK OUR LAST POST OF IT. WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT THE DOLLAR IS DOING, WE DO NOT HAVE A TRADE.

SILVER IS READY TO RELOAD UP ON THEM BUYS AND THE DXY HOURLY RSI CONCURS, THEY ARE CONGRUENT. WE HAVE CONGRUENCE PEOPLE BETWEEN THE DOLLAR INDEX AND THE XAGUSD SLIPPERY CHART. WE HAVE A VERY GOOD GRIP ON THE HOURLY EXPANSION FOR XAGUSD. DXY BUS ON THE WAY FROM OVERSOLD TO NEUTRAL OR OVERBOUGHT HOURLY RSI. HOURLY RSI XAG BUS EN ROUTE FROM NEUTRAL TO OVERBOUGHT. BOTH BUSES MUST REACH THEIR DESTINATIONS AT THE SAME TIME BEFORE ANY PASSENGERS LEAVE THE BUS TO ENTER THE NEXT ONE. EVER SAW THE 1994 FILM "SPEED"? THANK YOU ALL.
RIGHT AS I WAS GETTING THE DXY LINK TO POST IN HERE AS WELL I SAW THE PRICE OF DXY JUMP FROM $103.29 TO $103.34...GOOD SIGN.

POST #5 REDDIT

VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE CURRENCY TRADERS AND SPECULATORS 

EARLIER TODAY, WE CAUGHT THE DXY CHART HOURLY RSI AT 23 OVERSOLD OR @ 23 OVER SOLD.
AT THIS POINT, THE XAGUSD HOURLY RSI CHART WAS AT 53 NEUTRAL.
THE DXY CONTINUED IN THE HOURLY MACD DIRECTION OF BEARISH SENTIMENT WHILE ALL OF THE LOWER CHARTS UNDER HOURLY WERE REFLECTING THE HOURLY NEUTRAL DXY RSI OR SILVER HOURLY NEUTRAL RSI.
THE HOURLY DXY WILL CONTINUE IN THE DIRECTION OF THE MACD CANDLE, WHICH IS RED AS OF NOW, UNTIL THE 5 MINUTE CHART AND 15 MINUTE RSI REFLECT AN OVER SOLD OR NEUTRAL RSI YOU CONTINUE IN THE DXY HOURLY MACD MOMENTUM.
YOU WANT THE TWO CHARTS FOR XAGUSD AND DXY FOR EACH TIME FRAME TO SHOW THE SAME SIGNALS. IT WILL BE THE HIGHER CHARTS THAT GIVE THE FIRST SIGNAL, THE HIGHER CHARTS BECOME THE LOWER CHARTS. THE LOWER CHARTS DON'T BECOME THE HIGHER CHARTS. I USED TO THINK THIS. THINKING THE FIVE MINUTE CANDLE WILL DICTATE THE HOURLY CANDLE, NOT NECESSARILY, IF ONLY SO THE WORLD WAS THIS PERFECT.

THIS CHAT ROOM IS FOR TRADERS WHO DESERVE THE SECRETS AFTER FOUR PLUS YEARS. IF YOU HAVE BEEN TRADING FOR LESS THAN FOUR YEARS, YOU DESERVE TO PAY FOR THIS. TRADING OUR SILVER UPPERCUT COMBO STRATEGY MEAL, YOU'LL SEE TENDIES. WE ALL LOVE THE TENDY TENDIES DO NOT WE?
IF YOU SPOT THE DXY DOLLAR INDEX HOURLY AND 30M CONGRUENT AND AT 100 OVERBOUGHT STOCH AND STOCH RSI AND OVER 70 OR 69...PLEASE TRADE THIS SIGNAL AND TELL US. WARN US OF YOU SEE THEM BOYS. THOSE ARE THEM BOYS. THE FEDS. JAKE. JAKE THE SNAKE ROBERTS. THAT'S A RETICULATED PYTHON ON THE CHARTS MAN, THOSE CANDLES. THESE CANDLES ARE THE BAIN OF YOUR ACCOUNT'S EXISTENCE.
THIS IS A CLASSIC AND TIMELESS SUB REDDIT. THE MOST PROFITABLE TRADE AND HOLD ASSET GIVER KNOWN TO MAN. WE PUT AMERICA ON THE DOLLAR INDEX. EVERY TIME I CRASHED AN ACCOUNT WITH HORRIBLE TRADES, IT WAS NOT BASED ON THE DOLLAR INDEX. I WASN'T FOLLOWING THE DOLLAR INDEX. I HAVE THE BEST CHANCE WITH THE DOLLAR INDEX. LET IT MATCH THE SECOND OR BASE CURRENCY CHART AS WELL.
YOU ARE LOOKING AT FOUR CHARTS. TWO OF THE CHARTS YOU ARE LOOKING AT ARE THE HOURLY AND HALF HOURLY. THE OTHER TWO CHARTS YOU ARE LOOKING AT EACH TIME FRAME, FOR BOTH CURRENCIES. IT IS A CURRENCY PAIR. THIS IS VITAL. TRADING SILVER AGAINST THE DOLLAR. SILVER IS $21.50. THE DOLLAR INDEX IS $103.50. SILVER MOVES TWICE AS MUCH PIPS AS SILVER DOES. SILVER IS XAG. XAG IS THE POODLE. THE DXY IS THE PIT BULL WITH A RED NOSE. WHO BETS THEIR RENT MONEY ON A POODLE? WHOSE POODLE IS THIS? IT WON'T BE A POODLE MUCH LONGER. WHOMEVER OWNS THIS MONEY MAKING POODLE BETTER GET HIM OUT OF THE RING BEFORE THE CHAINS COME OFF. THE DXY ARE THE CHAINS THAT CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER.
YOU HAVE THE BEST CHANCE WITH THE 30M-60M DXY INDEX AS YOUR MAIN INDICATOR. THE MACD. 30M MACD. 30M ROC. 30M ROC PRECEDES THE MACD'S ARRIVAL. LET THE 30M ROC BE GREEN FOR A BUY. LET THE ROC BE RED FOR A SALES. TREND DISCOUNTS IS ALL IT EVER IS. ONLY CHAMPIONS DESERVE THIS SITE. PRIVATE CLUB YOU CAN FIND OR BE INVITED TO. THE FLYEST CLUB ON THE WEB FOR MONEY MAKERS. WE ARE MONEY FAKERS. WE FAKE THE MONEY OUT TO TAKE THE MONEY HOW WE NEED TO MAKE THE MONEY. NOW WE RAKE THE FUNNY.
IF I WAS COMFORTABLE WITH TRADING AND NOT KNOWING ABOUT THE DOLLAR INDEX AND ITS VERY EXISTENCE, MAKES ME EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE KNOWING I AM NOW AND FINALLY GAMBLING ONLY ON THE DOLLAR INDEX AGAINST A WEAKER PRICE. IT IS A GAMBLE EITHER WAY. NO MATTER THE RESEARCH, THE RISK IS THERE MORE SO THAN THE REWARD IS. THE REWARD ONLY COMES AT THE END OF THE PROPERLY PLACED TRADE. THIS STRATEGY IS NEW TO ME AND SO THE NERVOUS NERVES OF CHART WATCHING IS THERE.
SO BY STARING MAINLY AT XAGUSD AND DXY 30M-60M RSI AND STOCH AND STOCH RSI, USING THE 1 AND 5 MINUTE CONGRUENT CHARTS TO BE ALIGNED WITH TRADE AND MAYBE EVEN THE 15M CHART AS WELL. WHEN THE 30M-60M AND 1-5M AND MAYBE EVEN THE 15M CHART ALIGN, THIS IS THE ENTRY. THE 30M CHART TELLS WHERE TO ENTER. THE 1-5M CHART 200MA SHOWS WHERE TO ENTER OR EXIT OR CASH OUT. TO SEE A NEUTRAL, OVER BOUGHT, OR OVER SOLD, KNOWN AS OVER PURCHASED MOMENTUM.
WE FEEL LIKE, ISAIAH NOBLE AND I, [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) TO CONTACT US, IS THE BEST WAY FOR YOUR ENTRY INTO OUR WORLD. WE OFFER COUNSELING FOR 2000% PROFIT DAILY. YOU MUST SIGN A CONTRACT FOR PAYMENT BUT WE WILL MAKE PROFIT FROM THIS DEBT. IT IS ONE ON ONE COACHING AND GROUP ENTRY. PAUSE. FOLLOW THE HOURLY MACD AS THE LONG. THIS IS THE OVER EXTENSION OF THE MACD CANDLE. WE FEEL LIKE THE GATES TO UNLIMITED PROFIT HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO US.

TRADING RIPPLE XRP. A CRYPTO CURRENCY. $0.40600. WE ARE BUYING IT ON THE ONE MINUTE RSI TO OVER BOUGHT OR PURCHASED @ 70 PLUS WHEN THE STOCH AND STOCH RSI ARE CROSSED OVER 80-100 OVERBOUGHT.
TRADE ONE. ABOVE.
TRADE TWO. BELOW
ONE MINUTE RSI WAS AT 29 OVER SOLD. WE BUY UNTIL SELL LIMIT TWICE PER ACCOUNT WITH TWO ACCOUNTS. FOUR XRP BUYS UNTIL ONE MINUTE 300MA OR 70 RSI WITH STOCH TWINS OVERBOUGHT AT 100 OR CROSSED OVER 80.
4 SELL LIMITS PLACED FOR 300MA ONE MINUTE AKA CLARICE AT $0.41000. BUYS ARE TAKING PROFITS AUTOMATICALLY AT $0.40900-950.
THIS TRADE WAS MADE BC THE 5 MINUTE-WEEKLY CHARTS MACD WERE ALL NEGATIVE. INDICATING A HORRIBLE DOWN TREND FOR THE "BUY THOSE" ENTHUSED. ENTERING THE BUY KNOWING IT WAS A ONE CHART BUY. THIS IS A ONE CHART BUY. I WANTED TO SELL. DID THE MARKET SELL FROM WHERE I WOULD HAVE ENTERED INTO A SELL AT? NO. I FELT $0.40200 WAS A BAD SELL ENTRY. THE DIP DOWN FROM $0.41000 WASN'T THE ONLY DIP FROM THIS LEVEL. THIS IS WHERE I AM AT NOW WITH TRADING PYSCHE SCHEMAS.
TRADE TWO HAS NO TAKE PROFIT. MAYBE $4 PROFIT AND I WILL SHORT BUY INBETWEEN ONLY AT THE ONE MINUTE RSI OF OVERSOLD UNDER 30 WITH STOCH TWINS CROSSING OVER 80..
TRADE THREE IS THE SHORT BUY ONE MINUTE RSI AT OVERSOLD. THANK YOU ALL. SMOOTH SAILING ON SUCH A TURBULENT WAVE.

WEEKEND SESSION TRADING XRP ON WWW.FXSWAY.COM
READING THE INACTIVE CHART FOR SILVER XAGUSD FROM THE HOURLY CHART TO THE ONE MINUTE CHART. FIVE CHART READING. FIVE TRADES BASED ON ONE PER CHART OF FIVE. PARTY OF FIVE TRADING. THESE FIVE FRIENDS WILL HAVE YOUR ACCOUNT JUMP, JUMP, JUMPING FRIEND.
THIS CHART IS FOR XRPUSD. PUT IT ACCIDENTALLY SO WE WILL RETURN TO THIS. THIS IS THE FIVE MINUTE CHART AS SEEN ON INVESTING.COM SLASH XAGUSD TECHNICAL DIAGNOSIS. HERE IS YOUR TRADING PRESCRIPTION.
THE RSI IS NEUTRAL. INDICATES A MACD COME BACK SESSION ON THIS ONE CHART. EVERY CHART IS IT'S OWN ENTITY WITHIN THE ENTITY AND EVERY CHART HAS ITS OWN MIND. A NEUTRAL RSI WITH A GREEN MACD FOR BLUE BUYING BULLS INDICATES A BUY RELOAD READY, THOSE BUYERS HAVE REORGANIZED THEIR PORTFOLIO AND THE MARKET IS ONCE AGAIN READY FOR THE MACD CATERING. CATERING TO THE MACD WILL CATER TO YOUR EACH AND EVERY NEEDS AS WELL OLD PAL. FRESH PAL.
THE STOCH AT NEUTRAL INDICATES THE SAME. THE STOCH RSI HAS MOVED FIRST TO OVERSOLD AT 0 AND BACK ON ITS WAY TO OVERBOUGHT OVER 80 TO 100 MAX. THIS MEANS THE FIRST THREE OF THE FIRST FOUR INDICATORS ARE IN ALIGNED POSTURES. THREE UPPERCUTS TO SOME ONE'S JAW. THERE IS A BUY COMING UP TO 70 PLUS OVER BOUGHT ON THE RSI WITH THE STOCH AND STOCH RSI TWINS AT OVERBOUGHT OVER 80 TO 100 MAX. THE STOCH RSI IS THE FIRST OF THE FIRST FOUR INDICATORS TO MOVE IN A DIRECTION. THIS IS WHEN YOU COULD DOUBLE DOWN ON YOUR POSITIONS. YOU GO FOR THE GUSTO YOLO STYLE THIS WAY ONLY.
AT THIS POINT THE MACD DIRECTION OF BLUE BULL BUYING UP TREND ASCENSION, EXPANSION, WILL KILL ANY SELLS PLACED BELOW $0.40700, WHERE WE PLACED OUR FIRST SELL. FOR US AT LEAST, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BAD. I WANTED TO SELL XRP WITH THE REST OF THE CHARTS. THAT IS THE KEY, THE REST OF THE CHARTS ARE SELLING YES, THIS ONE CHART IS THE LAST BUYING CHART. ALL OF THE FURTHER CHARTS INDICATED A RED BEAR SALES MACD AGGRESSION EXPANSION ON ALL BUYS AFTER THIS CHART.
THIS IS A ONE CHART BUY. ONE CHART BUY. SO THE SELL I WANTED WAS 4 HOURS AWAY ACTUALLY. IT HAS BEEN FOUR HOURS. ONE FOUR HOUR CANDLE. I WOULD HAVE BEEN STRESSING. I HAD DEMO TRADES IN ALREADY PRE LIVE TRADING FOR HOURS SO I KNEW THE BUY ON THE FIVE MINUTE WAS STILL NOT FINISHED. THIS IS THE CONCEPT BEHIND WHAT WE CALL AT "HOLLYWOOODTRADES", "THE GONE IN SIXTY SECONDS OR MEMPHIS RAINES MACD RSI STRATEGY". YOU ARE ALLOWED TO CALL THIS STRATEGY THE MEMPHIS RAINES, MEMPHIS RAINES MACD OR THE GONE IN SIXTY SECONDS AND PIPS STRAT, STRAT, STRAT.
BASED ON THE FIRST FOUR INDICATORS ON THIS CHART WE GAVE YOU THE THREE TRADE PLAY. THE FOUR TRADE PLAY. INCLUDING THIS CHART IT IS A FIVE TRADE PLAY, A FIVE CHART TRADING STRATEGY. YOU HAVE TO TRADE OFF OF FIVE CHARTS SIMULTANEOUSLY. SORRY BUD, THIS IS JUST HOW THE GAME IS FINANCIALLY STRUCTURED .
IT IS PROPER HEDGING. TO HEDGE, OR NOT TO HEDGE? IS THIS NOT ONE OF THE QUESTIONS? HEDGING IS FUNDAMENTAL BUT COMPLICATED, WHEN TO GO BOTH WAYS? IS THIS NOT ANOTHER ONE OF THE QUESTIONS? HEY GOOGLE, WHEN SHOULD MY TRADE GO BI SEXUAL? UH, AT THE PROPER PRICE LEVEL. MAYBE AT THE SAME PRICE LEVEL BUT TO A DIFFERENT PRICE LEVEL.
THE ANSWER IS TO PLAY EACH CHART INDIVIDUALLY. YOUR ONE MINUTE TRADE ALWAYS EXIST. MAY NOT BE THE TRADE LOOKED FOR BUT IT IS ABOUT THE TRADE FOUND MORE SO. CAN YOU SPOT THE OPPORTUNITIES ON THE ONE MINUTE UP TO FIVE HOUR OR DAILY CHARTS? THIS IS HOW YOU SCALP THE ENTIRE CHART.

“You can’t be broke and happy, so me I’m MAD RICH”- “Throw it in the Bag” from “No Ceilings”
Dear Wayne,
I condensed 5 intro pages into 1 to catch your attention. (Later on the 5 pages can be read in full.) Basically, I am 20, graduated high school in 2008. If YOUNG MONEY FILMS exist, I want to work my way up to the highest available position. My passions are reading, writing and speaking. I have been writing original poems since I was 7.
You are such a mobile and goal oriented person, it’s challenging to get something in your hands, no homo. The purpose of this publication is to convey to you, Wayne, how valuable I believe I am regarding YOUNG MONEY FILM’s eternal success. With the right amount of experience I can be a serious threat, a real serious threat. On an interview you mentioned wanting to step in front of the camera a likkle more (likkle Wayne). Out of all the Hollywood studios I would prefer to enter Hollywood thru YOUNG MONEY FILMS and if given the chance, I’ll personally make sure you earn a billion units of currency due to our organized efforts. I just want your co-sign. What Baby did for you, I want a similar opportunity. If by some GODLY force your eyes are actually feasting upon this written material, my biggest dreams are being realized. On your “Behind the Music” you said “being able to say I was CASH MONEY were some of the happiest moments of my life.” In my bedroom closet I have 52 pictures for inspiration while writing movies and you’re on 12 out of 52.
I imagine just how wonderful it actually feels to be “Young Money FILMS”. On the original “I want dis forever” Drake said “I’m so UN-SIGNED; it would blow one’s mind.” And on the “official” “Forever”, he was YOUNG MONEY. I want to earn my way there. So if this never reached you, you would never know how crushed I truly am, my eyes are becoming teary but I deserve everything I receive. So if I deserve at Least 1 physical audition to prove my value to your camp, please grant it.
If you can not feel my passion through these pages then I ask you to fly me out to your location once free from prison. You will definitely sense my passion in person. On your “weezy thanx you” website you requested fans only send you 1 page letters but I am a business partner thus, an entire published book. I thank you for at least opening it. So I want to end the introduction briefly summarizing 3 movie ideas I am currently outlining.
“Ah Hell Naw!” An original idea courtesy of YOUNG MONEY FILMS: I’m walking around my old job carrying a notebook and it got me thinking, the scariest thing to a creative artist would be if something was hell bent on stealing my ideas. Like Wayne just imagine, some devilish creature ACTUALLY stealing your rhymes before you can record them and completely wiping your memory of it. It never fails; a creature whose purpose was to steal your drive, your passions, your hobbies, is basically stealing your life force.
5 They just leave you lethargic. To some people, this is worse than death. The theme and moral is “chores don’t kill, so get them done.”

1. Steven Spielberg scared the crap out of the world with “Jaws”. The next YOUNG MONEY FILMS

commercial hit is this: over the last million years, the oceans began drying up and sharks began evolving to live on land. They operate like big cats do basically. Where “Jaws” made it unsafe for people to swim, this makes it unsafe for people to be outside period. That’s what makes it so scary, in “Jaws” you had to swim to be a victim, here it is so different. It’s not realistic but once immersed in the story, you are so happy it may never happen. And if Sharks do in fact evolve to live on land, we called it 1st with GOD’s help here at YOUNG MONEY. These sharks pounce like tigers, lions and panthers. They evolve to the point where they have wings. It will be a fantasy and all the explanations come from evolution, not genetic mutation, that’s outdated. Where the Jaws poster had the shark swallowing a person from the bottom, our film will have the Great white shark swallowing the person from the top; he’s flying down. I see so much potential in this film particularly. Monday, August 09, 2010 8/9/2010 4:24:54 PM
The Blockkk is Hot Volume 1, Episode 1: Running from the Police
FADE IN
3 African American teenage males are being pulled over for a “routine” traffic stop. The on duty officers are white of course. The responding officer calls in for backup to even out the citizen to police officer ratio. 2 more police squad cars arrive on the scene. An officer from the 2nd squad car walks slowly to the left side, watching the back seat passenger. The 1st officer runs the vehicle’s license plate for warrants and or tickets. The initial police officer finally gets out of his car and walks over to the driver of the vehicle.
The 1st officer asks the driver for his driver’s license, registration and proof of insurance. The driver is extremely nervous but nonetheless he complies. The officer receives the information and walks back over to his squad car. The officer from the 3rd car walks over to the 1st officer’s car door. They both engage in conversation over what they are allowed to do with the “suspects”.
The three African American males observe their environment and notice the 2nd police officer watching over them. Suddenly a van carrying 6, including the driver, African American adult males armed with specialized weapons notices the scene. They pull over on
6
the opposite side of the road several hundred feet away from the “traffic” stop.
They drop off 2 passengers, each armed with a high powered sniper rifle to “spot” them. The other 4 passengers viciously load, cock and aim their sub- machine guns towards the “innocent” police officers. The 2 snipers each aim at their respective officer’s head and fire. This leaves 2 of the 3 officers down and fatally injured.
The African American teenage male located in the backseat is the first to notice the 2nd officer as he falls to the ground. Blood is sprayed on the window and in his view. The 2nd officer is hit by the 2nd sniper and his accurate hollow point bullet. This scares the 1st officer shit-less because he is closest to the 2nd officer and is now the only one left alive. The van full of single purpose driven cop killers is now side by side the 1st squad car and the 3 armed passengers already have their door open. These same gunmen riddle the officer with one round of semi automatic bullets. The officer is not able to return fire quickly enough and thus never stood a chance.
While this is going on, the 3 African American teenage males are jumping in their seats. They then all duck down because they have no idea what is going on. They realize the police officers are under fire but they don’t know from who, why, and if they themselves are also targets.
They are obviously not because if they were, they too would be slumped in their vehicle as well. The 3 armed passengers leave their sub machine guns in the van, only take 1 silenced pistol and one 9mm with them as they exit the van.
The cop killers pull the 1st police officer’s dead corpse from “his” squad car and lay him on the 2nd officer in an assumed homosexual position as a joke. Each cop killer relocates into a squad car and prepares to drive off. Right at this moment another squad car is seen driving down the road at a calm pace. The new squad car slows down to investigate the interesting scene. The gunman in the bloodiest squad car cocks and aims both his pistols at the new squad car as a defensive tactic.
It is now revealed the driver of the investigating squad car is JARVIS, the 2nd in command of this “elite” and
7
“exquisitely prepared operation”. JARVIS rolls down the window and smiles at his soldiers. He tells the soldiers to “keep up the outstanding progress” and drives off as he turns on the police car sirens and flashing lights.
The 1st gunman walks over to the teenager’s car and returns his driver license. He tells the driver he is free to go, his license is clean and hands him a brochure to attend a meeting based on what they just witnessed here. As the 3 gunmen drive off calmly in all different directions the camera freezes and the title credits roll. The “Tyga Tyga song La La La Boom” song plays as the credits play out.
Once the credits finish we cut to JARVIS meditating silently and alone in his bedroom closet. We observe him taking his 1st 5 deep inhalations and exhalations. We cut to JARVIS in his high school cafeteria in the 11th grade. JARVIS is sitting at a table filled with people chattering about him, about others, to him and to others. He is bored of this and gets up to throw away his empty food tray.
He tells his table he will meet them after school lets out as he heads to the library. JARVIS heads into the school library and gives the librarian his school identification. He observes a class sitting with their teacher at the middle of the library receiving a lecture of some sort. He walks over to the student computer area and takes a seat. He logs into his account and pulls up internet explorer 8. He googles afro centricity and is taken to www.thetalkingdrum.com.
The talking drum website is full of an abundance of detailed information regarding America’s race relations “policies”. He clicks on a tab titled “Cointelpro” identifying what Cointelpro really is. He reads on Cointelpro until the lunch bell rings 15minutes later.
He has 25 pages left and he prints out 5 pages on Cointelpro and exits the library after picking up his heaven sent information. He walks into his class and as he enters the room, the camera doesn’t follow him in. We cut back to JARVIS meditating in his closet. We see JARVIS taking 5 more breaths before we cut to him giving an arousing speech at a nearby youth center in a NYC neighborhood.
JARVIS
8
WE SHALL NEVER AGAIN BE NEUTRALIZED...WE SHALL INSTEAD SHOOT UNTIL WE DIE!!!
We cut back to JARVIS meditating. JARVIS stands up, puts a shirt on and exits the closet. He has his loaded shotgun strapped around his back safely to avoid shooting himself. He sits at his study desk and draws out the final blueprints of his latest plans. On top his bookshelf, away from the other books are 2 books on police dispatching systems and 1 book on proper grenade usage and handling.
We cut to a group of armed soldiers exiting a black “cable company” van. 4 African American males pull ghostface masks over their faces, load their automatic rifles and with heavy determination enter a doomed police precinct. There are 4 men on the “bad side”: CARLOS, JOSE, ALEX and DANIEL. CARLOS is the commanding officer of this particular squad and enters the building with DANIEL by his side. They both waste no time in firing upon the innocent and ignorant police officers.
They really have little time to execute their plans due to the visibility of their artillery and their face masks. CARLOS shoots 3 cops in the face, neck and back, back to back to back. DANIEL takes out 2 more officers with his rifle while ALEX throws a smoke grenade over DANIEL’s shoulder. JOSE equips himself to ALEX’s right side and throws an armed war grenade into the hallway of the police station. Just as the upstairs officers head downstairs with their game face on, they are blown away “right on time”.
As the smoke fills up the room, all 4 assailants release heavy fire upon the hidden police officers even more. They hear more screams from the cops and are now unsure how many more they have killed. They all head outside of the police station through the front door. CARLOS radios the driver, JARVIS, to return and pick them up. As JARVIS pulls up, they all notice back up police officer squad cars stopping on the corner to “engage” them in battle.
Just then, JARVIS jumps out of the vehicle, mask on his face, grenade launcher in hand and aims steadily at the cop cars. He successfully blows them all up. The explosion knocks everyone except JARVIS to the ground. They all get up, get inside the van and drive off. JARVIS is happier at this outcome than one may expect or be able to stomach.
9
We now cut to a black screen reading: “Chapter 1, Laying Plans”. Cut to JARVIS standing at the head of a table with a room full of warriors listening to his every word. He explains the process of war, “it is an art”.
We cut to JARVIS and CARLOS walking in front of a different police station with land mines in their hands. They kneel down together and each plant 5 mines in a line as a trap. They then both throw 3 smoke grenades and 2 war grenades into the police station. They both walk away calmly to the corner where ALEX is waiting in the van.
As they open the van door, the 4 grenades blow up and 2 dead officers are blasted into the empty street. As they close the van door they notice the smoke exiting the building and 5 officers run out of the building in fear and curiosity. All 5 of these oblivious officers activate a separate land mine and are effectively terminated in the blast. The van drives off away from the “unwarranted chaos”. JARVIS is still seen laughing uncontrollably or giggling like a giddy little school girl, whichever feels best. We cut back to JARVIS’ lesson plans.
We cut to JARVIS speaking to an African American militant sniper about an upcoming battle. 3 police cruisers responding to an “emergency call” park on the block. JARVIS asks the sniper, SUNNY, if he is ready and SUNNY responds in the affirmative. JARVIS walks down the stairs as he polishes his left oozy. He puts it in his left gun shoulder strap and then pulls out his right oozy. He tells himself “One at a time JARVIS, just one at a time. All things come to those who act as if and who believe in CHRIST.”
JARVIS walks through bushes taller than him quietly enough to position himself right next to an unsuspecting officer. The officer’s partner notices the oozy barrel sticking out of the bush and right when he opens his mouth; BOOM! The sniper’s 1st kill assisted JARVIS’ 1st kill. As the 1st officer investigates his partner’s body, JARVIS guns him down with the oozy. Since 2 officers have been gunned down, the remaining 4 officers call in for back up as they are engaged in heavy gunfire.
Now they realize it is a horrible set up by armed
10
citizens. JARVIS shoots the windshield to pieces while SUNNY shoots down one more officer. This leaves 2 more and JARVIS precisely pitches an armed grenade into the squad car. SUNNY the sniper takes out the last squad car with a rocket launcher. (This is designed to make the audience laugh due to dramatic irony; neither JARVIS nor the cops know a rocket launcher has entered the equation). JARVIS is blown 5 feet away from the site. The scene freezes and cuts back to JARVIS and his lesson plans.
We cut to JARVIS and ALEX driving in the by now so recognizable van, not to the police but to the audience. They park the car 50 yards away from a police officer occupied with giving someone a ticket. JARVIS exits the van, loads up his favorite pink sniper rifle, aims it at the officer’s head and positions himself.
Just in case the officer has a partner in the passenger side ALEX loads his sniper rifle, aims it where the passenger would exit the vehicle and alerts JARVIS of his readiness. JARVIS executes the cop and as the bullet exits the chamber, the camera zooms out, pans over to the cop’s perspective and the officer then falls to the ground. We cut back to JARVIS’ lesson plans.
JARVIS Always remember lack of planning brings about defeat.
We cut to a high school lecture given by a retiring police officer dated 2 weeks before the 1st attack on the police forces officially commenced. 20 students enter into their criminal justice 2nd period one after the other. As they position themselves into their seats, their teacher, Mr. BRADLEY, announces the day’s special guest. Officer O’Charley begins his lecture. A student, DESTIN, asks the officer a question about his utility belt. Officer O’Charley answers DESTIN’s question.
We cut to a masked gunman brandishing a double barreled shotgun. He is walking behind an unsuspecting police officer giving a traffic ticket on the side of the road. The criminal shoots the officer in the head and neck twice in rapid succession, as it should be. He then steals the officer’s car and drives off calmly.
11
We cut back to Officer O’Charley’s school lesson. He is explaining the obvious usefulness of his handcuffs. We cut to 2 officers responding to an “emergency call” at a local residence. A white couple is arguing outside at each other with a bat and a machete in their hands. The police officers exit the car and immediately brandish their trusty firearms.
They ask the couple to put their weapons away and step over to the vehicle. 2 masked white men in all black clothing ambush the bitch ass police officers. The 1st white man, TJ, shoots the 1st cop in the neck with a tranq gun. As the next officer turns around to investigate and then shoot, the other white man DARWIN guts him like a fish with his freshly sharpened Katana.
TJ walks over to the “sleeping” officer and handcuffs him with his own handcuffs. DARWIN ties a black bag over his head, ties a rope around his neck extra tight and he and TJ lift the officers one by one back into their cars. TJ and DARWIN get in the squad car, drive it to the corner and park it sideways; blocking the road off partially. As they exit the car they each arm 2 grenades, leave them in the car and walk back down to the crime scene as the car explodes. The explosion serves as the transition to the next scene.
We see Officer O’Charley answering a question from student ADAM WAGNER concerning his upcoming retirement. Officer O’Charley informs ADAM of his gut feeling to leave the force. He feels something horrible is being plotted by “horrible” people. He then goes on to say he could just be “horribly wrong.” We cut to JARVIS, once again laying out the “business plans”. We cut to 5 police officers inside a police precinct discussing recent arrests. Their names are STEVEN, NICOLAS, JACK, WILLIAM TYRELL and TOMMY LEE.
STEVEN So I’m taking this guy in for disturbing the peace and being drunk in public right, and all of sudden he decides to puke all over my back seat. It was just so disgusting man, like seriously. How am I supposed to drive that car around town now? I kind of wished I had just left him be. TOMMY LEE Ah man STEVEN that’s nothing bro. I responded to a call about 3 months ago, epileptic seizure or something of that nature. Right as the paramedics arrive on the scene this lady starts puking in my arms. NICOLAS puts his arm around TOMMY LEE’s shoulder as he
12
pokes fun at him, smile on his face
NICOLAS I didn’t even know people could vomit while under seizures. TOMMY LEE shifts his position so he and NICOLAS are having a heart to heart conversation. NICOLAS’ arm falls off of TOMMY LEE’s shoulder as a result.
TOMMY LEE I know right! That’s exactly what I’m saying. I know now though. But all in all though, I gave that nice lady some comfort in her time of need so it’s not a big deal at all. Now you on the other hand STEVEN...that shit’s just funny as fuck. At this moment the police station door opens and 5 ball- like items are slung violently in all directions inside the building. The officers are still trying to figure out what is happening when the items start fulfilling their purposes. One item is a homemade tear gas canister, another is a smoke grenade, one is a poison gas canister and two are live, war grenades designed to maim, kill and neutralize. The 5 officers along with the rest of the people inside the building begin to gag, choke, cough and suffocate before the grenade blows them up.
We cut back to JARVIS and his lesson plans.
JARVIS Ok so, Chapter 3: Attacking by stratagem; the easiest part. JARVIS pulls the sides of his sports jacket closer together symbolizing his inner confidence.
JARVIS So here are the rules: if our forces are 10 to our enemy’s 1, we surround him.
We cut to a white male in all blue and a gas mask walking up very quickly to a local police precinct. He pulls out 5 ball like items from his bag, drops the bag and opens the police station double doors. He launches all 4 weapons into the police station, closes the door, picks up his bag and makes a dash for the corner. A black cable van arrives to pick him up. He enters the vehicle and they drive off as the explosions occur. We cut to a police officer walking out of a coffee shop with a brew in his hand. We see a white man in all black with a Halloween mask on smashing the cop’s squad car up with a spiked baseball bat. The cop, outraged, brandishes his pistol after dropping his coffee on the ground.
OFFICER DALY
13
Freeze bitch! Hands up now! What the fuck do you think you’re doing man? What’s wrong with you man? Are you insane? ZACHARY JUKEL I didn’t do it...I fucking swear. It was a black dude. ZACK puts his hands up after dropping the bat. 10 machine gun brandishing African American militants appear from around the corner and gun down OFFICER DALY with immense ease.
ZACK What took you all so long man? I was almost dead! CORNELIUS He wasn’t going to kill you JUKEL man, you white. ZACK Yea, bet. CORNELIUS Let’s lift this sack of shit up and place his ass on top of his squad car, since he cares ‘bout it so much. Both ZACK and CORNELIUS lift up the dead officer on top of his cruiser. ZACK pours gasoline all over his body and inside the car. CORNELIUS strikes a match and throws it inside the car and the big group disperses before the flames attract more officers and firemen.
CORNELIUS Ok, this motherfucker’s toast, let’s skedaddle. We cut back to JARVIS explaining the plans. We cut to an interracial teenage couple sitting on a couch listening to music playing from a white laptop.
CARTER How was economics today SASHA? SASHA Oh it was just grand (very enthusiastically) Mr. Woods is just so freaking entertaining man. He was telling us of a story about a student he had on the 1st day of school a few years ago. He was an Asian student drinking water out a tall, plastic bottle. Mr. Woods kept noticing the student laughing and blurting out random nonsense right? CARTER Um hum, keep going. SASHA So Mr. Woods walks over to the student’s desk, picks up the bottle, opens it and smells it. He then figured out it was some sort of hard liquor and had to suspend the student. So his moral was water only, but he had to be allowed to smell it first. It was much funnier coming straight from him. I mean, his facial expressions are priceless man. CARTER Yea, that was pretty entertaining. You do a great job SASHA. You really do. SASHA leans in to kiss CARTER on the lips. She puts her hand on his cheek and keeps it there longer than
14
necessary which shows how much she does adore him.
SASHA Ok, now your turn boo, tell me a funny story taking place in high school pls.
CARTER looks up and to the right, gathers the appropriate memory and begins.
CARTER Ok, I have one. CARTER sits up straight to better illustrate his short tale.
CARTER My junior year at Salem, there was this new girl from Upstate New York. Her name was BELINDA SOSA. People called her BELLA. Boy was she beautiful, but nevertheless, we never ever spoke. So one day I’m talking to DIAMOND, a good friend of mine, after school and she gives me BELLA’s phone number. This was when I had a boost mobile cell phone and BELLA also had a Nextel. So that allowed us to chirp each other. You know about chirping right? SASHA You mean the walkie talkie feature right? CARTER Yes, exactly. So anyway right, later on that night I decide to engage in premature acts known commonly as prank calling. She has no idea who I am so I chirp her every morning as I walk to the bus stop right. Next thing you know her popular boy friend, TREY NEWTON, chirped me back and said he was hell bent on whooping my ass.
SASHA leans in closer to CARTER’s chin, looks up at him with a smile on her face and asks him
SASHA So were you in the least bit afraid? CARTER Oh yes, he was so popular, I was like ‘maybe I should stop soon.’ SASHA So did you stop then? CARTER Hell to the fuck Nah. Both SASHA and CARTER share a hearty laugh together. CARTER One day she chirps me and uses my full name, CARTER SIMMONS. SASHA’s eyes widen up in complete surprise and suspense. CARTER I was like, what in the hell? I was so scared man, like how’d she get my whole government name? Turns out when I chirped her, my information was also sent to her. By then it was a little too late but I still decided to change my information for future reference purposes. CARTER So a few days later I’m in the lunchroom, standing in a long line waiting to buy a lunch. All of a sudden, bleep bleep, my phone starts going off. Somebody was chirping me. The 1st thing
15
popping in my mind was ‘hell nah, this girl trying to find me. She’s trying to jam a nigga up man.’ She almost had me too. I figured she was also in the lunchroom somewhere so I secretly pull my phone out and turn that bitch off. Maybe I wasn’t slick enough and she had somebody looking out for me and they saw me. So after school as I’m walking down the stairs to my bus I turn my phone back on and chirp her. We made jokes about how she almost caught me. She called me a punk for being afraid of her boyfriend. SASHA So where’s the climax and resolution? I wanna finish nibbling on your ears and once it’s out of my system, you can return the favor. Only if that’s cool with you though. CARTER So here’s the end; I’m in literature class sitting at a table full of women, as it should be. All of a sudden TIFFANY GREEN walks over to me and asks me; ‘are you CARTER SIMMONS?’ and I’m like Noooo. She then says ‘yes you are man!’ then I say ‘yes I am but why.’ She just says ‘oh no reason.’ I pretty much figured out what was going on because I recognized TIFFANY as part of BELLA’s clique. So a few days later I’m posted up eating lunch away from the cafeteria and all of a sudden BOOM! Both TIFFANY and BELLA walk up to me and it so shocked me SASHA. I promise SASHA, I didn’t faint but it was intense. BELLA’s just there smiling all in my face like we’re friends and everything. At that point, the chirp fest was over, my game was up. She had figured me out with the help of a friend. Had TIFFANY never been in my lit. class it probably could’ve gone on much longer too. So before she walked away I screamed out ‘BELLA’, she turns around and I continued ‘did you think I was going to hurt you?’ She shook her head no and called me a pussy. We never spoke after this but if she did see me, I’m sure she laughed to herself. Ok so story over SASHA, my ear’s ready.
SASHA laughs and continues to nibble on CARTER’s ear.
We cut to JARVIS laying plans.

“You can’t be broke and happy, so me I’m MAD RICH”- “Throw it in the Bag” from “No Ceilings”
Dear Wayne,
I condensed 5 intro pages into 1 to catch your attention. (Later on the 5 pages can be read in full.) Basically, I am 20, graduated high school in 2008. If YOUNG MONEY FILMS exist, I want to work my way up to the highest available position. My passions are reading, writing and speaking. I have been writing original poems since I was 7.
You are such a mobile and goal oriented person, it’s challenging to get something in your hands, no homo. The purpose of this publication is to convey to you, Wayne, how valuable I believe I am regarding YOUNG MONEY FILM’s eternal success. With the right amount of experience I can be a serious threat, a real serious threat. On an interview you mentioned wanting to step in front of the camera a likkle more (likkle Wayne). Out of all the Hollywood studios I would prefer to enter Hollywood thru YOUNG MONEY FILMS and if given the chance, I’ll personally make sure you earn a billion units of currency due to our organized efforts. I just want your co-sign. What Baby did for you, I want a similar opportunity. If by some GODLY force your eyes are actually feasting upon this written material, my biggest dreams are being realized. On your “Behind the Music” you said “being able to say I was CASH MONEY were some of the happiest moments of my life.” In my bedroom closet I have 52 pictures for inspiration while writing movies and you’re on 12 out of 52.
I imagine just how wonderful it actually feels to be “Young Money FILMS”. On the original “I want dis forever” Drake said “I’m so UN-SIGNED; it would blow one’s mind.” And on the “official” “Forever”, he was YOUNG MONEY. I want to earn my way there. So if this never reached you, you would never know how crushed I truly am, my eyes are becoming teary but I deserve everything I receive. So if I deserve at Least 1 physical audition to prove my value to your camp, please grant it.
If you can not feel my passion through these pages then I ask you to fly me out to your location once free from prison. You will definitely sense my passion in person. On your “weezy thanx you” website you requested fans only send you 1 page letters but I am a business partner thus, an entire published book. I thank you for at least opening it. So I want to end the introduction briefly summarizing 3 movie ideas I am currently outlining.
“Ah Hell Naw!” An original idea courtesy of YOUNG MONEY FILMS: I’m walking around my old job carrying a notebook and it got me thinking, the scariest thing to a creative artist would be if something was hell bent on stealing my ideas. Like Wayne just imagine, some devilish creature ACTUALLY stealing your rhymes before you can record them and completely wiping your memory of it. It never fails; a creature whose purpose was to steal your drive, your passions, your hobbies, is basically stealing your life force.
5 They just leave you lethargic. To some people, this is worse than death. The theme and moral is “chores don’t kill, so get them done.”

1. Steven Spielberg scared the crap out of the world with “Jaws”. The next YOUNG MONEY FILMS

commercial hit is this: over the last million years, the oceans began drying up and sharks began evolving to live on land. They operate like big cats do basically. Where “Jaws” made it unsafe for people to swim, this makes it unsafe for people to be outside period. That’s what makes it so scary, in “Jaws” you had to swim to be a victim, here it is so different. It’s not realistic but once immersed in the story, you are so happy it may never happen. And if Sharks do in fact evolve to live on land, we called it 1st with GOD’s help here at YOUNG MONEY. These sharks pounce like tigers, lions and panthers. They evolve to the point where they have wings. It will be a fantasy and all the explanations come from evolution, not genetic mutation, that’s outdated. Where the Jaws poster had the shark swallowing a person from the bottom, our film will have the Great white shark swallowing the person from the top; he’s flying down. I see so much potential in this film particularly. Monday, August 09, 2010 8/9/2010 4:24:54 PM
The Blockkk is Hot Volume 1, Episode 1: Running from the Police
FADE IN
3 African American teenage males are being pulled over for a “routine” traffic stop. The on duty officers are white of course. The responding officer calls in for backup to even out the citizen to police officer ratio. 2 more police squad cars arrive on the scene. An officer from the 2nd squad car walks slowly to the left side, watching the back seat passenger. The 1st officer runs the vehicle’s license plate for warrants and or tickets. The initial police officer finally gets out of his car and walks over to the driver of the vehicle.
The 1st officer asks the driver for his driver’s license, registration and proof of insurance. The driver is extremely nervous but nonetheless he complies. The officer receives the information and walks back over to his squad car. The officer from the 3rd car walks over to the 1st officer’s car door. They both engage in conversation over what they are allowed to do with the “suspects”.
The three African American males observe their environment and notice the 2nd police officer watching over them. Suddenly a van carrying 6, including the driver, African American adult males armed with specialized weapons notices the scene. They pull over on
6
the opposite side of the road several hundred feet away from the “traffic” stop.
They drop off 2 passengers, each armed with a high powered sniper rifle to “spot” them. The other 4 passengers viciously load, cock and aim their sub- machine guns towards the “innocent” police officers. The 2 snipers each aim at their respective officer’s head and fire. This leaves 2 of the 3 officers down and fatally injured.
The African American teenage male located in the backseat is the first to notice the 2nd officer as he falls to the ground. Blood is sprayed on the window and in his view. The 2nd officer is hit by the 2nd sniper and his accurate hollow point bullet. This scares the 1st officer shit-less because he is closest to the 2nd officer and is now the only one left alive. The van full of single purpose driven cop killers is now side by side the 1st squad car and the 3 armed passengers already have their door open. These same gunmen riddle the officer with one round of semi automatic bullets. The officer is not able to return fire quickly enough and thus never stood a chance.
While this is going on, the 3 African American teenage males are jumping in their seats. They then all duck down because they have no idea what is going on. They realize the police officers are under fire but they don’t know from who, why, and if they themselves are also targets.
They are obviously not because if they were, they too would be slumped in their vehicle as well. The 3 armed passengers leave their sub machine guns in the van, only take 1 silenced pistol and one 9mm with them as they exit the van.
The cop killers pull the 1st police officer’s dead corpse from “his” squad car and lay him on the 2nd officer in an assumed homosexual position as a joke. Each cop killer relocates into a squad car and prepares to drive off. Right at this moment another squad car is seen driving down the road at a calm pace. The new squad car slows down to investigate the interesting scene. The gunman in the bloodiest squad car cocks and aims both his pistols at the new squad car as a defensive tactic.
It is now revealed the driver of the investigating squad car is JARVIS, the 2nd in command of this “elite” and
7
“exquisitely prepared operation”. JARVIS rolls down the window and smiles at his soldiers. He tells the soldiers to “keep up the outstanding progress” and drives off as he turns on the police car sirens and flashing lights.
The 1st gunman walks over to the teenager’s car and returns his driver license. He tells the driver he is free to go, his license is clean and hands him a brochure to attend a meeting based on what they just witnessed here. As the 3 gunmen drive off calmly in all different directions the camera freezes and the title credits roll. The “Tyga Tyga song La La La Boom” song plays as the credits play out.
Once the credits finish we cut to JARVIS meditating silently and alone in his bedroom closet. We observe him taking his 1st 5 deep inhalations and exhalations. We cut to JARVIS in his high school cafeteria in the 11th grade. JARVIS is sitting at a table filled with people chattering about him, about others, to him and to others. He is bored of this and gets up to throw away his empty food tray.
He tells his table he will meet them after school lets out as he heads to the library. JARVIS heads into the school library and gives the librarian his school identification. He observes a class sitting with their teacher at the middle of the library receiving a lecture of some sort. He walks over to the student computer area and takes a seat. He logs into his account and pulls up internet explorer 8. He googles afro centricity and is taken to www.thetalkingdrum.com.
The talking drum website is full of an abundance of detailed information regarding America’s race relations “policies”. He clicks on a tab titled “Cointelpro” identifying what Cointelpro really is. He reads on Cointelpro until the lunch bell rings 15minutes later.
He has 25 pages left and he prints out 5 pages on Cointelpro and exits the library after picking up his heaven sent information. He walks into his class and as he enters the room, the camera doesn’t follow him in. We cut back to JARVIS meditating in his closet. We see JARVIS taking 5 more breaths before we cut to him giving an arousing speech at a nearby youth center in a NYC neighborhood.
JARVIS
8
WE SHALL NEVER AGAIN BE NEUTRALIZED...WE SHALL INSTEAD SHOOT UNTIL WE DIE!!!
We cut back to JARVIS meditating. JARVIS stands up, puts a shirt on and exits the closet. He has his loaded shotgun strapped around his back safely to avoid shooting himself. He sits at his study desk and draws out the final blueprints of his latest plans. On top his bookshelf, away from the other books are 2 books on police dispatching systems and 1 book on proper grenade usage and handling.
We cut to a group of armed soldiers exiting a black “cable company” van. 4 African American males pull ghostface masks over their faces, load their automatic rifles and with heavy determination enter a doomed police precinct. There are 4 men on the “bad side”: CARLOS, JOSE, ALEX and DANIEL. CARLOS is the commanding officer of this particular squad and enters the building with DANIEL by his side. They both waste no time in firing upon the innocent and ignorant police officers.
They really have little time to execute their plans due to the visibility of their artillery and their face masks. CARLOS shoots 3 cops in the face, neck and back, back to back to back. DANIEL takes out 2 more officers with his rifle while ALEX throws a smoke grenade over DANIEL’s shoulder. JOSE equips himself to ALEX’s right side and throws an armed war grenade into the hallway of the police station. Just as the upstairs officers head downstairs with their game face on, they are blown away “right on time”.
As the smoke fills up the room, all 4 assailants release heavy fire upon the hidden police officers even more. They hear more screams from the cops and are now unsure how many more they have killed. They all head outside of the police station through the front door. CARLOS radios the driver, JARVIS, to return and pick them up. As JARVIS pulls up, they all notice back up police officer squad cars stopping on the corner to “engage” them in battle.
Just then, JARVIS jumps out of the vehicle, mask on his face, grenade launcher in hand and aims steadily at the cop cars. He successfully blows them all up. The explosion knocks everyone except JARVIS to the ground. They all get up, get inside the van and drive off. JARVIS is happier at this outcome than one may expect or be able to stomach.
9
We now cut to a black screen reading: “Chapter 1, Laying Plans”. Cut to JARVIS standing at the head of a table with a room full of warriors listening to his every word. He explains the process of war, “it is an art”.
We cut to JARVIS and CARLOS walking in front of a different police station with land mines in their hands. They kneel down together and each plant 5 mines in a line as a trap. They then both throw 3 smoke grenades and 2 war grenades into the police station. They both walk away calmly to the corner where ALEX is waiting in the van.
As they open the van door, the 4 grenades blow up and 2 dead officers are blasted into the empty street. As they close the van door they notice the smoke exiting the building and 5 officers run out of the building in fear and curiosity. All 5 of these oblivious officers activate a separate land mine and are effectively terminated in the blast. The van drives off away from the “unwarranted chaos”. JARVIS is still seen laughing uncontrollably or giggling like a giddy little school girl, whichever feels best. We cut back to JARVIS’ lesson plans.
We cut to JARVIS speaking to an African American militant sniper about an upcoming battle. 3 police cruisers responding to an “emergency call” park on the block. JARVIS asks the sniper, SUNNY, if he is ready and SUNNY responds in the affirmative. JARVIS walks down the stairs as he polishes his left oozy. He puts it in his left gun shoulder strap and then pulls out his right oozy. He tells himself “One at a time JARVIS, just one at a time. All things come to those who act as if and who believe in CHRIST.”
JARVIS walks through bushes taller than him quietly enough to position himself right next to an unsuspecting officer. The officer’s partner notices the oozy barrel sticking out of the bush and right when he opens his mouth; BOOM! The sniper’s 1st kill assisted JARVIS’ 1st kill. As the 1st officer investigates his partner’s body, JARVIS guns him down with the oozy. Since 2 officers have been gunned down, the remaining 4 officers call in for back up as they are engaged in heavy gunfire.
Now they realize it is a horrible set up by armed
10
citizens. JARVIS shoots the windshield to pieces while SUNNY shoots down one more officer. This leaves 2 more and JARVIS precisely pitches an armed grenade into the squad car. SUNNY the sniper takes out the last squad car with a rocket launcher. (This is designed to make the audience laugh due to dramatic irony; neither JARVIS nor the cops know a rocket launcher has entered the equation). JARVIS is blown 5 feet away from the site. The scene freezes and cuts back to JARVIS and his lesson plans.
We cut to JARVIS and ALEX driving in the by now so recognizable van, not to the police but to the audience. They park the car 50 yards away from a police officer occupied with giving someone a ticket. JARVIS exits the van, loads up his favorite pink sniper rifle, aims it at the officer’s head and positions himself.
Just in case the officer has a partner in the passenger side ALEX loads his sniper rifle, aims it where the passenger would exit the vehicle and alerts JARVIS of his readiness. JARVIS executes the cop and as the bullet exits the chamber, the camera zooms out, pans over to the cop’s perspective and the officer then falls to the ground. We cut back to JARVIS’ lesson plans.
JARVIS Always remember lack of planning brings about defeat.
We cut to a high school lecture given by a retiring police officer dated 2 weeks before the 1st attack on the police forces officially commenced. 20 students enter into their criminal justice 2nd period one after the other. As they position themselves into their seats, their teacher, Mr. BRADLEY, announces the day’s special guest. Officer O’Charley begins his lecture. A student, DESTIN, asks the officer a question about his utility belt. Officer O’Charley answers DESTIN’s question.
We cut to a masked gunman brandishing a double barreled shotgun. He is walking behind an unsuspecting police officer giving a traffic ticket on the side of the road. The criminal shoots the officer in the head and neck twice in rapid succession, as it should be. He then steals the officer’s car and drives off calmly.
11
We cut back to Officer O’Charley’s school lesson. He is explaining the obvious usefulness of his handcuffs. We cut to 2 officers responding to an “emergency call” at a local residence. A white couple is arguing outside at each other with a bat and a machete in their hands. The police officers exit the car and immediately brandish their trusty firearms.
They ask the couple to put their weapons away and step over to the vehicle. 2 masked white men in all black clothing ambush the bitch ass police officers. The 1st white man, TJ, shoots the 1st cop in the neck with a tranq gun. As the next officer turns around to investigate and then shoot, the other white man DARWIN guts him like a fish with his freshly sharpened Katana.
TJ walks over to the “sleeping” officer and handcuffs him with his own handcuffs. DARWIN ties a black bag over his head, ties a rope around his neck extra tight and he and TJ lift the officers one by one back into their cars. TJ and DARWIN get in the squad car, drive it to the corner and park it sideways; blocking the road off partially. As they exit the car they each arm 2 grenades, leave them in the car and walk back down to the crime scene as the car explodes. The explosion serves as the transition to the next scene.
We see Officer O’Charley answering a question from student ADAM WAGNER concerning his upcoming retirement. Officer O’Charley informs ADAM of his gut feeling to leave the force. He feels something horrible is being plotted by “horrible” people. He then goes on to say he could just be “horribly wrong.” We cut to JARVIS, once again laying out the “business plans”. We cut to 5 police officers inside a police precinct discussing recent arrests. Their names are STEVEN, NICOLAS, JACK, WILLIAM TYRELL and TOMMY LEE.
STEVEN So I’m taking this guy in for disturbing the peace and being drunk in public right, and all of sudden he decides to puke all over my back seat. It was just so disgusting man, like seriously. How am I supposed to drive that car around town now? I kind of wished I had just left him be. TOMMY LEE Ah man STEVEN that’s nothing bro. I responded to a call about 3 months ago, epileptic seizure or something of that nature. Right as the paramedics arrive on the scene this lady starts puking in my arms. NICOLAS puts his arm around TOMMY LEE’s shoulder as he
12
pokes fun at him, smile on his face
NICOLAS I didn’t even know people could vomit while under seizures. TOMMY LEE shifts his position so he and NICOLAS are having a heart to heart conversation. NICOLAS’ arm falls off of TOMMY LEE’s shoulder as a result.
TOMMY LEE I know right! That’s exactly what I’m saying. I know now though. But all in all though, I gave that nice lady some comfort in her time of need so it’s not a big deal at all. Now you on the other hand STEVEN...that shit’s just funny as fuck. At this moment the police station door opens and 5 ball- like items are slung violently in all directions inside the building. The officers are still trying to figure out what is happening when the items start fulfilling their purposes. One item is a homemade tear gas canister, another is a smoke grenade, one is a poison gas canister and two are live, war grenades designed to maim, kill and neutralize. The 5 officers along with the rest of the people inside the building begin to gag, choke, cough and suffocate before the grenade blows them up.
We cut back to JARVIS and his lesson plans.
JARVIS Ok so, Chapter 3: Attacking by stratagem; the easiest part. JARVIS pulls the sides of his sports jacket closer together symbolizing his inner confidence.
JARVIS So here are the rules: if our forces are 10 to our enemy’s 1, we surround him.
We cut to a white male in all blue and a gas mask walking up very quickly to a local police precinct. He pulls out 5 ball like items from his bag, drops the bag and opens the police station double doors. He launches all 4 weapons into the police station, closes the door, picks up his bag and makes a dash for the corner. A black cable van arrives to pick him up. He enters the vehicle and they drive off as the explosions occur. We cut to a police officer walking out of a coffee shop with a brew in his hand. We see a white man in all black with a Halloween mask on smashing the cop’s squad car up with a spiked baseball bat. The cop, outraged, brandishes his pistol after dropping his coffee on the ground.
OFFICER DALY
13
Freeze bitch! Hands up now! What the fuck do you think you’re doing man? What’s wrong with you man? Are you insane? ZACHARY JUKEL I didn’t do it...I fucking swear. It was a black dude. ZACK puts his hands up after dropping the bat. 10 machine gun brandishing African American militants appear from around the corner and gun down OFFICER DALY with immense ease.
ZACK What took you all so long man? I was almost dead! CORNELIUS He wasn’t going to kill you JUKEL man, you white. ZACK Yea, bet. CORNELIUS Let’s lift this sack of shit up and place his ass on top of his squad car, since he cares ‘bout it so much. Both ZACK and CORNELIUS lift up the dead officer on top of his cruiser. ZACK pours gasoline all over his body and inside the car. CORNELIUS strikes a match and throws it inside the car and the big group disperses before the flames attract more officers and firemen.
CORNELIUS Ok, this motherfucker’s toast, let’s skedaddle. We cut back to JARVIS explaining the plans. We cut to an interracial teenage couple sitting on a couch listening to music playing from a white laptop.
CARTER How was economics today SASHA? SASHA Oh it was just grand (very enthusiastically) Mr. Woods is just so freaking entertaining man. He was telling us of a story about a student he had on the 1st day of school a few years ago. He was an Asian student drinking water out a tall, plastic bottle. Mr. Woods kept noticing the student laughing and blurting out random nonsense right? CARTER Um hum, keep going. SASHA So Mr. Woods walks over to the student’s desk, picks up the bottle, opens it and smells it. He then figured out it was some sort of hard liquor and had to suspend the student. So his moral was water only, but he had to be allowed to smell it first. It was much funnier coming straight from him. I mean, his facial expressions are priceless man. CARTER Yea, that was pretty entertaining. You do a great job SASHA. You really do. SASHA leans in to kiss CARTER on the lips. She puts her hand on his cheek and keeps it there longer than
14
necessary which shows how much she does adore him.
SASHA Ok, now your turn boo, tell me a funny story taking place in high school pls.
CARTER looks up and to the right, gathers the appropriate memory and begins.
CARTER Ok, I have one. CARTER sits up straight to better illustrate his short tale.
CARTER My junior year at Salem, there was this new girl from Upstate New York. Her name was BELINDA SOSA. People called her BELLA. Boy was she beautiful, but nevertheless, we never ever spoke. So one day I’m talking to DIAMOND, a good friend of mine, after school and she gives me BELLA’s phone number. This was when I had a boost mobile cell phone and BELLA also had a Nextel. So that allowed us to chirp each other. You know about chirping right? SASHA You mean the walkie talkie feature right? CARTER Yes, exactly. So anyway right, later on that night I decide to engage in premature acts known commonly as prank calling. She has no idea who I am so I chirp her every morning as I walk to the bus stop right. Next thing you know her popular boy friend, TREY NEWTON, chirped me back and said he was hell bent on whooping my ass.
SASHA leans in closer to CARTER’s chin, looks up at him with a smile on her face and asks him
SASHA So were you in the least bit afraid? CARTER Oh yes, he was so popular, I was like ‘maybe I should stop soon.’ SASHA So did you stop then? CARTER Hell to the fuck Nah. Both SASHA and CARTER share a hearty laugh together. CARTER One day she chirps me and uses my full name, CARTER SIMMONS. SASHA’s eyes widen up in complete surprise and suspense. CARTER I was like, what in the hell? I was so scared man, like how’d she get my whole government name? Turns out when I chirped her, my information was also sent to her. By then it was a little too late but I still decided to change my information for future reference purposes. CARTER So a few days later I’m in the lunchroom, standing in a long line waiting to buy a lunch. All of a sudden, bleep bleep, my phone starts going off. Somebody was chirping me. The 1st thing
15
popping in my mind was ‘hell nah, this girl trying to find me. She’s trying to jam a nigga up man.’ She almost had me too. I figured she was also in the lunchroom somewhere so I secretly pull my phone out and turn that bitch off. Maybe I wasn’t slick enough and she had somebody looking out for me and they saw me. So after school as I’m walking down the stairs to my bus I turn my phone back on and chirp her. We made jokes about how she almost caught me. She called me a punk for being afraid of her boyfriend. SASHA So where’s the climax and resolution? I wanna finish nibbling on your ears and once it’s out of my system, you can return the favor. Only if that’s cool with you though. CARTER So here’s the end; I’m in literature class sitting at a table full of women, as it should be. All of a sudden TIFFANY GREEN walks over to me and asks me; ‘are you CARTER SIMMONS?’ and I’m like Noooo. She then says ‘yes you are man!’ then I say ‘yes I am but why.’ She just says ‘oh no reason.’ I pretty much figured out what was going on because I recognized TIFFANY as part of BELLA’s clique. So a few days later I’m posted up eating lunch away from the cafeteria and all of a sudden BOOM! Both TIFFANY and BELLA walk up to me and it so shocked me SASHA. I promise SASHA, I didn’t faint but it was intense. BELLA’s just there smiling all in my face like we’re friends and everything. At that point, the chirp fest was over, my game was up. She had figured me out with the help of a friend. Had TIFFANY never been in my lit. class it probably could’ve gone on much longer too. So before she walked away I screamed out ‘BELLA’, she turns around and I continued ‘did you think I was going to hurt you?’ She shook her head no and called me a pussy. We never spoke after this but if she did see me, I’m sure she laughed to herself. Ok so story over SASHA, my ear’s ready.
SASHA laughs and continues to nibble on CARTER’s ear.
We cut to JARVIS laying plans.
JARVIS If we know our enemy and know ourselves, we don’t have to fear the result of a hundred battles. If we know ourselves but not our enemy, for every victory gained we will also suffer a defeat. And if we know neither the enemy nor ourselves, we will succumb in every single ...motherfucking battle. And that is just not acceptable.
We cut to a dark room. We only hear muffled voices. The sliding door opens up and the light is turned on. We see 10 officer’s arms tied to the ceiling. They are all standing on top of folding chairs and are gagged and blindfolded. 5 masked figures brandishing Katana swords close the door back and begin attacking the police officers. The 1st militant begins yelling “AW!” out loud while aiming his Katana at a cop’s belly. He goes into a complete rage, kicking the chair from underneath several officers and gutting the officers like helpless fish. They are extremely helpless at this point. They can’t even see what is coming their way. The remaining 4 militants decide to shoot the
16
officers in their heads instead of dooming them to the fate their crazed comrade has in store for them. The psycho militant’s name is DARIUS.
DARIUS Ok, I’m hungry, who’s up for dinner? SAMMIE I don’t see myself eating until at least 24 hrs. EDDIE Yea, I think I’m going to be sick. DARIUS Enchiladas it is then!
Cut back to JARVIS laying plans. We cut to CHARLEY, a 19 year old college student sitting at his dining room table. He is eating lunch before work and SAM PAGE, his mother’s boyfriend, enters the apartment. They begin talking about how PAGE is suspended from work for 3 days because some one snitched on him. Someone at his job has also been taking the caps off of his rims and he suspects the snitch to be in on it as well.
PAGE heads into the master bedroom to shower up and change. CHARLEY looks up as the door closes, smirks to himself and continues to eat his blueberry waffles. We cut back to JARVIS and his dictation.
JARVIS Ok groupies, chapter 5, energy. Controlling a large force uses the same exact principles as controlling a few men; it is merely a question of dividing up their numbers. Fighting with a large army under your command is no different than fighting with a small one. Direct or indirect maneuvers can make sure your host withstands the brunt of the enemy’s attack while remaining unshaken. The direct method in all fighting may be used for joining battle but indirect method will be needed in order to secure victory. Properly applied indirect tactics are as inexhaustible as heaven and earth. They are as unending as the flow of rivers and streams and like the Sun and Moon they end, only to begin anew. Like the four seasons, they pass away only to return again once more. There are not more than 5 musical notes yet the combination of these 5 give rise to more melodies than can ever be heard. There are not more than 5 base colors; blue, yellow, red, white and black yet in combination they produce more hues than can ever be seen. There are not more than 5 cardinal tastes; sour, acrid, salt, sweet and bitter yet their combinations yield more flavors than can ever be tasted. TRAVIS Now you gotta nigga wanting to listen to music, paint some scenery and eat some dinner. JARVIS TRAVIE Shut Cho ass UP! Anyway nigga, there are not more than 2 attack methods in battle; the direct and the indirect. Yet these 2 combined give rise to an endless series of maneuvers.
We cut to CHARLEY at his job, a local supermarket where he is
17
the resident superstar. His manager Mr. PINSON introduces him to a new employee, JAFAR TATMAN. CHARLEY walks JAFAR around the job and shows him the work areas. An older African American male asks JAFAR to help him pick out a prime watermelon for his mother. JAFAR calls over CHARLEY to help them out. The older man begins to berate and insult CHARLEY for no apparent reason. He tells CHARLEY he could learn from JAFAR and JAFAR tells the customer it is CHARLEY’s 1st day. JAFAR’s a fucking asshole basically. JAFAR and CHARLEY walk away laughing together about the incident. JAFAR tells CHARLEY “not to offend anymore innocent customers!”
We cut back to JARVIS and chapter 6 of his lesson plans. We cut to TEL AVIV, a Swedish visitor to the United States for a year on vacation. She is babysitting 3 young children as part of her agreement to stay at their parent’s house. They are driving in a car and TEL AVIV pulls into a pizza restaurant.

He knows me inside out and I know him inside out, so there was no question that the match would've been crazy. The last time that I fought the individual behind Jon Moxley was when he was a goofier motherfucker. He was hoisting hot dog carts and unloading all over authority figures. Well now he's hoisting your baby girl and unloading all over you. But when you look at what he is now, he sure is a tougher son of a bitch. You of all people should know that. However, you need to remember this: the more things change, the more they stay the same. Even me, I'm wearing a red $3000 jacket and sunglasses looking like a bootleg Halloween version of The Weeknd. I even fucking come out to The Weeknd, and the crowd loves it! They sing the chorus, they sing the whole song. I feel like fucking Chris Jericho, only I'm younger and and I'm better than a bloated 52 year old rock star who is trying his hardest to stay relevant after his prime 13 years ago by creating a group of six monkey bitches and one excellent person who is a friend of mine, but two of said monkey bitches think that they're the greatest couple in wrestling history just because they're bad guys. They're not. That's me and my wife. Renee, you have interviewed a bunch of wrestlers on your podcast, Oral Sessions, and you've also been interviewed by Jon Moxley on Anal Sessions. But you have never been in the presence of a more diligent, vigilant, meticulous, sagacious, conscientious, analytical, methodical individual than me. Thank you for your time."

But when I do, I show up and I show out! If you don't believe me, I have held the true biggest prize in Professional Wrestling history for damn near a whole year.

We living in that character limit once again. Final part of the post is in the comments.
First of all, if you missed it:
-Here's part #1: Necromancy school.
-And here's part #2: Enchantment school.
Second, if you don't know the absolute basics about a specific spell, just read the in-game spell descriptions (but, obviously, I'm still gonna point out what's not covered by them as well as some of the more noteworthy points).
Importantly, if any spell ignores magic resistance, I'll mention it, otherwise it doesn't.

ILLUSION

General Illusion warning:

-Thieves/Shamans/Dark Moon Monks using Detect Illusion, the arcane spell True Sight and the divine spell True Seeing will dispel all illusion-induced effects on enemies (not party members), including blindness, fear and deafness caused by the Blindness, Spook and Deafness spells.
-This is a bit of a spoiler for the Divination thread, but, yes, that also means you can cure those effects on your party members if they're charmed by enemies (or something else I won't spoil now).
.

Blindness

-Level 1 spell with an almost-permanent (100 rounds duration) effect, the second best casting time possible without gear (CT2) and, to top it off, it inflicts one of the best status effects in the game: blindness.
-Blindness inflicts a +4 penalty to both AC and THAC0, which is already HUGE (+20% chance to hit the enemy and -20% chance to get hit!), but it also reduces a character's vision range to such a small range you can easily attack enemies from safety with long-reach weapons (staves, spears, Monk fists, two-handed swords, halberds) or, obviously, ranged weapons. It's not even a problem if the enemy AI is of the kind that walks up to you when they get attacked (not all enemies do that, some will just stand there and take the hits), cause you can easily get out of the tiny vision range and if they try to to cast a spell it will fizzle, cause they won't be able to target as soon as you walk out of that range (in practice, it's the same result as going invisible while they're casting a spell targeted at you).
-Blindness, as a status effect, is so rarely resisted I can't even remember any group of enemies that are immune to it (only individual enemies). Beholders can be blinded, preventing them from using their rays on you (unless you get close), dragons can be blinded (though Firkraag and several others are immune, but, for example, Morentherene and Nizidramanii'yt aren't), Liches can be blinded (just not with this spell, cause it's level 1), most Demons can be blinded, nearly all Undead can be blinded, Mind Flayers can be blinded (though you gotta get past their Magic Resistance first)... Hell, blindness is one of the very few effects that can be inflicted on enemies wearing the famed MINHP1 item.
-Blindness can be used as a way to countervent a creature's ability to ignore invisibility. For example: can't approach a demon from behind to backstab it, cause it always turns around to hit you? Blind it, hide (or go invisible) and then use a quarterstaff to backstab it from outside its vision range.
-You can blind your own Thieves so they can set traps/hide during combat (as long as enemies aren't glued to you), cause, bizarrely, the check is for whether you can see enemies, not whether they can see you (for programming reasons). Yeah, pretty big exploit (though if you're a solo Mage/Thief you might have problems actually seeing things/playing the game unless you use a Familiar or something else to see for you).
-This spell is almost the entire reason for being an Illusionist, cause almost no other spell from this school rolls a save. And it's a pretty good reason too, cause this spell with a save penalty (and put into a Minor Sequencer!) is a menace. Have your gnomes spam this all day, every day.
-Fun fact: this is supposed to be a level 2 spell, cause that's what it is in PnP (and also Icewind Dale). Who thought it was a good idea to make it level 1?
.

Reflected Image

-Do I use this a lot? No, I don't. Is it a bad spell? Not really! The only reason few people use this is cause Mirror Image, the upgraded version, exists already and is easily available (only one level above, plus, there are three items across the series that let even non-Mages or Necromancers have it: the Fractal Blade in SoD and Ilbratha and the Ring of Duplication in BG2EE).
-A 50% chance to prevent an entire attack's worth of damage may not be so appealing for a character who gets hit easily (bad AC), but it's a lot more interesting for a character who rarely does (great AC). Think about it like this: if this prevents a hit on a bad AC character, the next hit is gonna come quickly and you'll die fast (so what's the point?), but if this prevents a hit on a good AC character that means you prevented a high roll attack (which is more likely to have been a crit) and the next attack still won't hit you easily, which means you're good as a "defensive character" (ie you're using a real strategy). Plus, the less likely it is for you to get hit, the less likely it is for you to lose this protection, which means you don't have to re-up it constantly (unlike with the bad AC character, which would have to memorize a bunch of this and constantly re-cast it to actually be able to survive).
-It's especially good for characters who have positive luck (either from the priest spell Chant, from the unkitted/Blade Bard Songs, the Luck spell that merely lasts 3 rounds, the Cloverleaf belt in SoD or the scimitar that permanently gives +1 luck in IWDEE), cause then enemies will always hit the image before you. That means this spell simply becomes "avoid the next single-target attack", which is pretty nice.
-The stronger the enemy or their on-hit effects, the more valuable this spell gets. Preventing a single bastard sword hit from a random hobgoblin might be almost pointless, but preventing an arrow from an Elite Hobgoblin from poisoning you or a Ghoul's attack from paralyzing you is a pretty big deal. Plus, some enemies have one-and-done attacks, like some BG2EE Clerics who like to use Harm or Slay Living (miss the attack = spell failed). Though, ofc, this is all better done via Mirror Image.
-Keep in mind that Stoneskin (a buff used for similar defensive purposes) doesn't protect against such things and images (from both Reflected Image and Mirror Image) also prevent single-target elemental damage, not just physical. If a Harm attack hits a character with Stonekin, their HP is gonna be reduced to 1, if it hits a Reflected Image's image, it won't. If a Fire Elemental hits a Mage protected by Stoneskin casting a spell, their casting will be interrupted by the fire damage portion of their attack (even if the Mage is 100% resistant to fire!), but if it hits a Reflected Image's image, the casting won't be interrupted.
-A very niche scenario where I've used Reflected Image a lot before was with an Illusionist2->Fighter in BGEE (who, therefore, didn't have access to Mirror Image). I dualed at that point cause I just wanted a bow-wielding Fighter who could use wands and cast Spook/Blindness with a specialist save penalty, but I ended up using Reflected Image from time to time, as I stayed away from enemies and had great AC vs missile damage (with the Shield spell, the Boots of Avoidance, the Claw of Kazgaroth and the Cloak of Displacement you can get insanely low AC vs missile damage in BGEE), so I rarely got hit, but even then the image prevented those rare hits (meaning I was often left unscathed).
.

Spook

-3 rounds of fear might not seem like much, but that's 3 whole rounds where the enemy doesn't: attack you (well, mostly), cast spells, use other abilities. Also, that's 3 rounds for you to pelt your enemy with arrows/throwing daggers/other spells etc.. Don't just run after the enemy to try to attack them in melee like a ding dong, get yourself some ranged weapons (hell, Fighters and other warrior classes can use weapons they're not proficient with with a mere +2 THAC0 penalty, so you can give every warrior a bow, whether they have proficienty points in that or not!).
-This spell's penalty to saves against it is the strongest inherent save penalty in the game (well, it can be, as it's level-dependent), tied with Earthquake. Enemies saving against this spell when cast by a level 12+ Illusionist have a +8 penalty (!!!) to their save vs spells... It's gonna hit. It's gonna. No, really. Think about it for a second: if the enemy has a save vs spells of 12+, they cannot save against it (there are no "crits" when it comes to saving throws). Throw in a Greater Malison and suddenly enemies with save vs spells 8+ cannot save! That means a Fighter cannot save against this combo (GM + lv12 Illusionist's Spook) unless they're level 15+ (especially cause enemies almost never have save-enhancing gear). And even if they're level 17+ to get the best save vs spells for Fighters (6), they'll still fail the save 90% of the time!
-This spell's save penalty is so nutty that you can use it as a spellcasting disruption tool. Especially cause it has a casting time of 1! Sure, Mages have better saves than most... But that's a +8 penalty for Illusionists.
-To be clear: this already gets a +1 penalty at level 2 (the only Mage level without a penalty is level 1), so even if you dual from an Illusionist at the lowest level possible (2), for some reason, you're still gonna get a damn good +3 save penalty.
.

Blur

-Doesn't actually do what it says (though it only matters if you're super AC-stacking): it improves your AC by 3 points, it doesn't give a penalty to enemy attacks. -3 AC is actually a damn good buff and it lasts for quite a while (4 rounds + 2 per level).
-One aspect that people often forget about is the -1 bonus to all saving throws. Sure, it might not sound like much, but imagine you're a level 7 Mage in BGEE:
Your save vs spells is 10
-3 from Spirit Armor
-3 from the Claw of Kazgaroth
-1 from a Ring/Amulet/Cloak of Protection +1
-1 from a Robe of [Alignment] Archmagi
=
Save vs spells 2, meaning you can still fail on a roll of 1. But throw in Blur's -1 on top of that and suddenly you cannot fail a regular save vs spells in BGEE before you even reach Baldur's Gate (where you can find the Ring of Protection +2 and such). And, hell, if you're an Enchanter, that means you're already immune to Domination (the spell, that has an inherent +2 penalty), but also almost all of the enemies' versions as well (eg from Vampires). A vampire already can't charm you and you're not even in BG2EE to encounter them (though SoD has a few).
-Don't forget though: this isn't just a save vs spells bonus, it's a bonus against all saves! That means this spell also makes it easier to reach a save vs death of 3 early, a point in which you become immune to Stinking Clouds (so feel free to spam them on top of yourself).
.

Deafness

-First, deafness (the status effect) causes a 50% chance to fail when casting spells. That's... Pretty annoying if you're the victim. Add a slow effect on top of that (from any slow source) and suddenly enemies can only cast once every two rounds and have a 50% chance to fail on top of that. Basically, they're not gonna be a threat.
-This effect is permanent (until death, dispel or cure) and ignores magic resistance (!!!), so it could be easier to make this work than Silence 15' Radius (even with it's +5 penalty to the save) if the enemy has a lot of MR, especially if you're an Illusionist. Wanna prevent a Drow Cleric or Mage from casting spells? This is the easier way to do it out of those two.
-Sure it might not be so easy to inflict this on a Mage, but: a) it might be not be as difficult as you expect (not all Mages have godlike save vs spells, especially in BGEE); b) as a level 2 spell, it can fit into a Minor Sequencer, making it a lot more likely to hit Mages and powerful creatures and c) there are plenty of non-Mage spellcasters out there with crappy saves vs spells.
-You might think that a 50% chance of spellcasting is not enough, but you need to consider that it's not JUST a 50% chance of spellcasting failure. It's 50% on top of everything else you have!
-Think about it like this: an enemy is spamming Domination (save vs spells with a penalty of 2) and you have a save vs spells of 8 (something a level 1 Mage can get with the Claw of Kazgaroth and a Ring of Protection +1), that's a 45% chance of you making that save. But add Deafness' 50% chance of spell failure to the enemy and suddenly when you combine both odds you get a 72.5% chance of succefully avoiding that spell in any given round... And, remember, that's with a save vs spells that any Mage can easily get at the start of BGEE. Not to mention that you can add some Magic Resistance (however minor) on top of all of that and the enemy will quickly get an astronomically low chance of hitting you with anything. But saves and MR aren't things you need to apply to the enemy, all you need to apply from that equation is deafness, so most of it comes naturally.
-Remember how I said this is great against Drow? Well, what kind of saves and MR do you have when you get to meet your first Drow Mage or Cleric? Pretty good ones, even if you have a whole party that needs to share gear. So Deafness is, for sure, more than enough to prevent any major spell effects (charms, instakills, feebleminds, confusion...) from working on you when you cast it on a Drow.
-PSA: the old "two deafness effects combined make for 100% spell failure" doesn't work anymore and hasn't in ages. You can't be super deaf, just... Regular deaf.
.

Invisibility

-It lasts for 24 freaking hours (or until you attack). That's not something to be taken lightly, it's huge.
-You're able to cast this before travelling to most places in both BGEE and BG2EE and still have it when you arrive at your destination (unless you're travelling from one end of the map to the other, but you can easily travel to someplace else in-between first to avoid a 24+ hour travel time), which means that you can, for example, get waylaid by enemies and NOT have to defend yourself until you're ready. Just walk out of sight, casts buffs, summon creatures, whatever you want and then waylay the enemy waylaiders yourself, making them have to defend themselves.
-24 hour duration means you can get 3 casts of this for the cost of a single spell slot. Cast, rest, cast, rest, cast again... And the first cast will still last for just under 8 hours. Or, hell, let's say you're a level 3 Mage with one mere spell slot of level 2, you can cast this, choose another spell, then rest and, voila, you can get Invisibility plus something else.
-I'm trying hard not to just talk about contingencies/sequencers/triggers all the time (cause those will get their own thread), but I can't avoid it here, as Invisibility is by far one of the best spells to use with those.
-Picture this: you're a solo Illusionist12/Thief13 multiclass going up against a group of enemies who start with blue circles (eg Mae'Var and his crew in BG2EE). Minor Globe of Invulnerability -> Hide -> Backstab -> Contingency on enemy sighted triggers turning you invisible -> Backstab -> instantly use Minor Sequencer with Web and Invisibility centered on yourself -> Backstab webbed foe who you can't miss -> Cast invisibility -> Backstab -> Repeat that five more times (or more if you have extra level 2 spell slots). That's a minimum (cause, again, you can have more spell slots and you can also have gear that lets you get more Invisibility) of 9 backstabs while barely even getting seen, with 7 of those being backstabs that can't miss (as you're going for whatever enemies failed their saves and are currently webbed).
-Or, hell, you can just put it at the end of a Spell Sequencer along with, say, 2x Sunfire. Walk up to enemies and, once they surround you, target yourself with that. The result? 2x Sunfire on everybody and then you're invisible, meaning you're safe, despite being surrounded. Or you can do it to simply never be found out: come in invisible, use a sequencer with Invisibility at the end centered on yourself and walk away without ever having been revealed (if the sequencer is instantaneous, as it can be if you use any casting-time-reducing gear).
-Contigency -> Invisibility is also a pretty convenient "oh shit" Contingency to have. Single-class Mage who can't access (reliable) self-cure for status effects like hold via Contingency? Just put Invisibility in instead, so that it triggers when you're helpless and then you can just wait out the effect. Or maybe you'd like to use it with a 50% hp condition, so you can easily leave combat and heal safely before going back.
-Invisibility is also one of the most reliable spellcasting disruptors out there... As long as you're using it against a targeted (non-AoE, like a Fireball, non-self-centered, like Mage Armor) spell. A Mage or Cleric is casting Finger of Death against you? (if you hear "Vita, Mortis..." coming from a high level Mage or Cleric, there's a good chance it's that) Turn invisible to make them waste their spell. A Mage or Cleric is trying to charm or hold you? (if you hear "Cupio", there's a very high chance that's what's coming) Go invisible and, again, make them waste their spell. There's a reason Invisibility is one of only three spells for which I have specific keybindings ("1" is my Nahal's Reckless Dweomer key, "2" is Chromatic Orb and "3" is Invisibility). It's the "oh shit" button.
-With its incredibly long duration, you can also do some stuff you couldn't do with, say Improved Invisibility (much shorter duration), like turn invisible and set off all Cloakwood web traps safely and then wait for them to go away.

Mirror Image

-Already talked about most of the things in the Reflected Image part, so go read that. This is just that, but a lot stronger.
-Do note that this gets a different number of images depending on your level, so, although the items that give you Mirror Image casts are amazing, the actual spell is more potent for a regular Mage. For comparison: a level 18 Mage casting the spell gets 8 images on a single cast, Ilbratha (the shortsword) gets you 4 images once per day and the Ring of Duplication gets you 5 images three times per day.
-This being a level 2 spell means you can put it on a Minor Sequencer. This + Chant (for the +1 luck) on a Minor Sequencer for a Cleric/Mage is extremely powerful. That's 8 images that enemies have to go through for sure (due to the +1 luck) before they can hit you in melee, with a ranged weapon or a targeted spell.
-Single-class Mages can actually do something similar with Mirror Image + Luck (the spell, yes, I thought of a way to use it). Sure, Luck only lasts 3 rounds, but imagine a situation where you expect to get hit a lot... Can you not see yourself taking 8 hits in 3 rounds from, say, a mob of enemies surrounding you? Even if you have good AC, when there's a bunch of enemies the crits start coming in fast and AC can't do anything against that.
-Sure, you can use Protection from Magical Weapons eventually, but this is a level 2 spell that you can also use after that initial protection runs out. Plus, Mirror Image doesn't just block hits from magical weapons, it also protects against hits from normal ones (and there some of those even in Throne of Bhaal. For example, in the fight at the Saradush barracks where both enemies with normal weapons and magical weapons swarm you). Also, Protection from Magical Weapons is a level 6 spell and you might wanna use most/all of those slots for something else, especially if you're not playing solo.
-If you have excellent AC and luck (from any source), this can often be better than Protection from Normal/Magical Weapons/Mantle etc., because it lasts for a much longer time and is enough to prevent rare hits against you (cause, again, we're talking about characters with excellent AC). If you have so much AC that someone can't hit you without a crit (actually not that hard to do, depending on the enemy), then Protection from Normal/Magical Weapons protects you from those rare crits for 4 rounds, meanwhile Mirror Image will probably protect you from those same crits for longer (unless you get really unlucky and dudes just roll 9+ crits against you in four rounds, though you can easily cast Mirror Image again before the images run out if that's the case).
-Finally, nothing is stopping you from comboing this with Stoneskin and Protection from Normal/Magical Weapons, of course. That's something a lot of people do, but it's often overkill unless you're going up against really powerful foes. Remember, overbuffing causes the most damage of all things: it wastes time from your life lol. And Mirror Image is the lowest level out of all of those spells, so it costs the least to use, while achieving similar results most of the time.

Invisibility 10' Radius

-A spell I bet some players have never even scribed into their spellbooks. Why? Because it's only available as a random drop in BGEE and in BG2EE it's only available in the Thief stronghold or shops located in "high level areas" (and if you're not low level yourself, you often just scroll past the low level scrolls in a shop to get to the higher level ones), ie in the City of Caverns, Suldanessellar, Watcher's Keep and Saradush. Sure, the shop at Watcher's Keep is available at the start of the game, but some players avoid going there at lower levels.
-All the amazingness of Invisibility, but now for your whole party. Incredible spell to have if you have more than one backstabber in the party. Careful though: it's centered on your Mage, so using it during combat can be tricky if you don't know what you're doing.
-Don't underestimate how good this is for parties without backstabbers as well. You can prevent an enemy Mage from annoying you by backstabbing them before they can act, sure, but you know what you can also do? Surround them with invisible warriors and then attack all at once, to possibly do even more damage than a single backstab (though you can combine backstabs with that strategy as well).
-If you like the idea of your party attacking all at once from stealth/invisibility (especially if you want multiple simultaneous backstabs, that require enemies to not change positions, so you hit their backs), then having any amount of positive luck (use Chant to get it on the whole party) and having speed factor 0 (haste lower SF by 2 btw) all help make your characters attack together. If you want to go truly nuts with it and have five or six backstabbers, I wrote about that kind of thing in a post almost nobody saw a long time ago lol. If anything, I hope you can appreciate the beauty of doing five backstabs at once to instantly kill the Demon Knight. Sure, backstabbers can hide by themselves, but keeping everybody hidden simultaneously can be a pain if they're not just invisible.
-A Fairy Dragon Familiar can cast this for you in BG2EE (not BGEE). So even (Chaotic Good) Necromancers have a way to access this spell.
.

Wraithform (also an Alteration, so Abjurers can't use it either)

-Protection from Normal Weapons (an underrated effect), but available in BGEE where it's even more effective!
-Whose weapons/attacks are considered unenchanted in BGEE? Whose aren't would be an easier question to answer. Even Aec'Letec's attacks count as unenchanted!
-Whose weapons/attacks are considered unenchanted in BG2EE? That's a difficult question to answer, cause it's hard to compile a list, but, off the top of my head:
=>Rakshasa
=>Nabassus (including the Master of Thralls at the Astral Prison)
=>Djinni/Efreeti
=>Mummies (not Greater ones)
=>Some Shades/Shadows (including Shade Wolves and a lot of the ones that drain STR)
=>Some mob enemies in Throne of Bhaal (there's often a few mixed in with the enemies equipped with magical weapons to throw you off, for example at the "horde" fight in the Saradush Barracks)
=>Many humanoid enemies (think about how many times you see someone drop a crappy unenchanted weapon)
=>Many spiders
=>Carrion Crawlers
=>Nishruu
=>Most Sahuagin (in melee)
=>A lot of Kuo-Toa (in melee)
=>Amnian Soldiers/Centurions (great for those of us who love to cause trouble in Valygar's home to get a ton of free Full Plate Mails and plenty of xp).
-Unlike similar spells that prevent spellcasting, this also prevents the use of special abilities. However, you can still use items, like wands, the Nymph Cloak, Relair's Mistake and so on.
-This is a great spell for dual/multiclass Mages (M/T, C/M, F/M) or Bards, all of whom can still fight well after losing access to spellcasting. Cleric/Mages can also buff themselves up a ton before casting this, so they might end up fighting regularly if you're the kind of person who likes to buff and then auto-attack with Clerics instead of casting constantly during combat.
-"But the scroll is available so late in BGEE". Yes and no:
=>You can rush to Candlekeep if you want to abuse this spell early as, say, a Bard or a FighteMage (you literally only have to kill two people to get there: Mulahey and Davaeorn, you can just ignore everything else via invisibility).
=>Quayle gets this spell in his spellbook if you recruit him after reaching 32k xp (and, considering where he is, that's very likely), and, as a Cleric/Illusionist, he can still fight after losing his spellcasting.
=>Don't forget that Sorcerers can access any spell without relying on scrolls, so you can use your Sorcerer as a "tank" while the rest of your party and/or summons do the damage (just be sure to keep attacking with the Sorcerer to more easily keep the aggro on you). Plus, if you know what you're doing, even a Sorcerer can do well in melee against your average mob. Or just use Relair's Mistake to become a wolf if you don't know how to melee with a regular Sorcerer (can't use Polymorph Self shennanigans cause special abilities are disabled).
-Wraithform is also a mere level 3 spell that has decent duration scaling (2 rounds per level), which makes it very viable for low level duals. A Mage5->Fighter can easily use this to be able to have Protection from Normal Weapons for 10 rounds without actual access to that level 5 spell.
-A FighteMage or Cleric/Mage of any sort can also use Vhailor's Helm to access Simulacrum early in BG2EE and have their clone cast this to tank whatever enemy uses normal weapons while the caster can attack and cast spells normally. Sure, it's easier to use an Imp familiar polymorphed into a Mustard Jelly or a clone polymorphed into that, but: a) non-Lawful Evil and non-protagonist characters can't get an Imp familiar and b) Your FighteMage clone is probably stronger in their normal form with their regular attacks than in Mustard Jelly form.
-"But what about having your clone cast Protection from Normal Weapons instead?" You can do that, yes, but this spell also gives +25% magic damage resistance, so if you're wearing the Belt of Inertial Barrier (+50%) you're more than good to spam Skull Traps on your Wraithform'd clone (they're only gonna take 25% damage and there's still the save to halve that, that's almost no damage). So your clone is tanking enemies with normal weapons AND can get bombarded with Skull Traps all with a single spell. Admittedly, it's a lot more useful in BGEE (where Protection from Normal Weapons doesn't exist), but you can use it in BG2EE.
.

Improved Invisibility

-Has a much shorter duration compared to regular Invisibility's 24 hour, so they serve sorta different purposes. Don't waste this as a spellcasting disruption tool, nor waste it on "oh shit" Contingencies (especially cause the effect that screwed you could outlast this spell).
-Unless the enemy ignores invisibility, this essentially makes you immune to all sorts of targeted effects like Finger of Death, Maze, Melf's Acid Arrow, Domination etc. for the duration of the spell. Don't waste time protecting yourself against those if you're using this!
-For no goddamn reason, this gives you a massive -4 bonus to all saving throws (go read what I said about saving throw bonuses in the part about Blur). Absolutely insane. Combine it with, say, a Spirit Armor's bonkers -3 to save vs spells and you're already at -7. That's enough to make a level 11+ Mage immune to any spell that requires a save vs spells to work (unless it inflicts a penalty to saves, ofc). So, yeah, wear a simple Ring of Protection +2 on top of that and suddenly that level 11 Mage can't be Web'd, Dominated etc. (spells that inflict a +2 penalty). Also, keep in mind that, while some enemies ignore invisibility, you still get this save bonus even if that's the case, so you can still use this spell against a Lich, for example.
-There's also a massive +4 THAC0 penalty to creatures (who don't ignore invisibility) attacking you. This is huge not only because it's a -20% chance to get hit, but also because it can stack with capped AC. You know how general AC caps out at -20 (well, not really, it can go down further than that with AC coming from high DEX and Single-Weapon style)? Well, a penalty to the enemy's attack isn't really AC, so it stacks to help enemies not hit you at super high levels.
-One extremely niche advantage that this has over regular Invisibility is that, as a level 4 spell, it doesn't get dispelled by Detect Illusion (the spell, not the Thief/Shaman/Dark Moon Monk ability).
.

Shadow Door

-It's Improved Invisibility, except with a shorter casting time (2 vs 4, wow), it costs a higher level spell slot and it lasts 3 rounds less (??????????????????????). One of the few spells in the game that I genuinely cannot find a reason to ever use. I even found a use for Shocking Grasp the other day... But never this.
-I guess the shorter casting time could be useful in Icewind Dale where CT-lowering gear is only available in the expansion areas... But, even then, if you're that desperate to go invisible quickly just use Invisibility! I don't understand what the devs were thinking here.
-The spell's effect is very cool though.
.

Mislead

-Yep, it's here. One of the very few spells I consider to be "too cheesy even for me", but feel free to use it yourself (I did use it a lot on my saviour-pacifist run though, it's very good for that).
-If the enemy doesn't ignore invisibility and they can't see your clone (cause it simply walked away, for example...), they just sit there and do absolutely nothing while you do whatever you want to them. It essentially disables enemy AI (well, unless they have other people to attack), which is why it's pretty boring to use most of the time.
-True Sight/True Teeing can dispel it, I guess. But what are you doing if you let an enemy cast that while you're basically completely invulnerable/unseen?
-As if it wasn't easy enough to simply use this and move the clone away from combat so it's never in any danger... You can also cast Invisibility on the clone, so those enemies you're fighting who don't ignore invisibility can't see the invisible clone that they need to hit to end your invisibility... Yeah.
-Cast this with a FighteMage/Thief (for extra attacks per round) and just backstab, backstab, backstab, backstab, backstab, backstab endlessly. Or, hell, just do it with a Mage/Thief wielding two +1 APR weapons that allow for backstabs.
-There's actually a non-cheesy use for this spell, against enemies who are vulnerable to backstabs, but ignore invisibility (eg the vast majority of Liches and Glabrezus), but for this I'm gonna need to explain a bit of the backstab mechanics of the game. There are two kinds of "invisibility states" in the game: "actually invisible" (or hidden via hide-in-shadows) and "just untargetabble" (what you get when you use Improved Invisibility and then attack an enemy, for example). To be able to backstab someone (even someone who ignores invisibility, so they can technically see you), you need to be "actually invisible" (meaning creatures who don't ignore invisibility don't even react to you) and this spell lets you remain "actually invisible" even when in the presence of those who ignore invisibility and technically see you. What does that mean? It means that your FighteMage/Thief (or whoever else) can cast Mislead and do the endless backstab thing even against enemies who ignore invisibility, with it not being cheesy in this case cause the enemy can actually turn around and attack you, so you'd need someone else to distract them or you'd need to paralyze them or something, so you can actually get to their back.
-This applies to every kind of invisibility/hide-in-shadows, but it feels more worth it to mention here: attacking in melee while coming out of invisibility gives characters a -4 THAC0 bonus on that attack. But with Mislead you're always doing that (the invisibility just gets reapplied instantly), so you get a -4 bonus to THAC0 all the time while the effect is going on. And, unlike the "AC bonus" of Improved Invisibility, this applies even against enemies who ignore invisibility. So Mislead can also serve as a -4 THAC0 against Demons, Liches and so on. That's a 20% extra chance to hit Demogorgon or something! And it's not a cheesy thing at all!
.

Mass Invisibility

-Actually Improved Invisibility, but to everybody in a BIG area and with a 3 rounds shorter duration (max 20 instead of max 23).
-Unlike Invisibility 15' Radius, this doesn't need to be centered on the caster (or anybody else), you can cast it from far away (which makes it that much better to use on a party full of backstabbers who are in the thick of combat while your Mage hangs back).
-Just to be clear: this only affects party members and allied creatures, not neutrals or enemies, so there's no risk in throwing this out in the middle of combat.
-That's, essentially, a -4 bonus to every party member, familiar, summon and clone's saves AND to AC (well, a penalty to enemy attacks, like I already explained before) AND they all become untargetable. Pretty damn big effect, but there's nothing really new to say. So just read the Invisibility 15' Radius and Improved Invisibility sections.
.

Project Image (continued in the comments, cause, I kid you not, if I put this tiny part in the comment as well, I reach the comment character-limit)

-This sorta doubles your spellbook (it's better than that, actually), so, one hand, the possibilites with this are endless; but, on the other, talking about most of those possibilities would just be talking about the possibilites of using all spells. So I'm gonna focus on things that make Project Image special compared to simply having another spellcaster that's (almost) exactly the same as you.
-This is much better when used by a Sorcerer. Think about it: when a Mage uses Project Image, the clone is able to cast the same spells your Mage has memorized, but when a Sorcerer uses it, the clone can cast completely different spells! If I wanna go ham and cast Spirit Armor on my entire party, I have to memorize it at least 3 times with my Mage, that way I can use PI, the clone can cast it three times, then when the clone dies I can cast it another three. Or I have to memorize it 6 times to begin with, if I don't wanna kill the clone, but then my actual caster has 6 Spirit Armor memorized, which they don't even need, cause the clone already cast it on everybody... So what's the point? I should've just cast it 6 times with my Mage, but then the PI clone won't have anything memorized that level anymore... Meanwhile, a Sorcerer can just have the clone "waste" 6 level 4 slots with 6 casts of Spirit Armor and, once the clone is gone, that doesn't matter at all for my caster, cause they can use completely different spells. Basically, Mages get a COPY of their spellbook when they use a clone, but Sorcerers get a whole DIFFERENT spellbook. Sure, it's still limited by the amount of spells known by the Sorcerer, BUT due to how High-Level Abilities (HLAs) work, Sorcerers get a ton of different options at level 9, meaning that on the most powerful level, they get the most variety.

I was happy that some of you guys enjoyed it! As you’ve wished, here’s another entry to this universe!
​
Though the previous one I did was nothing more than a concept, I was satisfied with how I’ve come up with this whole story.
​
I’m not going to spoil the story but let’s just say there’s more stuff in store for you guys!
​
Oh, and I guess this is officially a series now.
​
On with the prologue.
​
…
​
Drug Monkeys - Prologue -
​
…
​
It was Jim’s first experience living in a gardenworld, a world that harbors life and that death is not always present, he remembered how he was on Earth not too long ago, how life back there always seemed bleak but at the same time normal, filled with dangers and yet it still comforts him as a human, it was also his first debut here, he was assigned as a transfer student in a prestigious school, to learn about how space stuff works, more specifically FTL-ships and whatnot.
​
[Beep!]
​
His wristwatch snaps him out of his thoughts, bringing him back to reality, where he found himself in a spaceship harbored by the Federation, the interior looked nice and quirky, filled with commodities attuned to his race, water, food, and his specially-designed orange spacesuit designated for him, he finds it strange why he was required by his government to wear the suit the moment he lands because as far as he knows, there weren’t any problems being naked (well, not entirely naked, just with the suit off) in the gardenworld, but he shouldn’t be giving misassumptions on things he doesn’t know, perhaps there were species out there that are afraid of his racial features, or how some species doesn’t like the looks of their kind, either way, it was better to be safe than sorry and cause an international accident.
​
The suit itself had a more or less modern take and a tinge of futurism on the side, the torso part of the suit looked like it had one of NASA’s Oxygen Purge Systems installed at the front included with a portable life support system at the back, the systems are both upgraded and took less space for convenience, they were designed for controlling the outflow of oxygen coming into his lungs and the carbon dioxide that exited, including the pressure and temperature of that said oxygen and the atmosphere inside, the limbs of the suit looked comfortable to wear, so at least he wasn’t going to worry about ergonomics for a while, plus it had a layer of lightweight metal to protect himself from medium physical trauma, and a layer of an aluminum perforated sheet around the helmet to protect his skull from being mentally harmed by psychic-energy, he was worried at that last bit from the suits’ maker since it implies that there are psychic races out there that could probably possess him or turn his brain into slime.
​
Aside from the horrifying thought, the helmet or visor had the most futuristic style in it, along with the helmet having a respirator mask connected to the inside, it also had things like a HUD to display the time of day, his current location on the planet he was on, not to mention the solar system he was in too, his temperature, vitals, a facial-hide feature, a small display of the suits integrity system and the good ol’ compass system.
​
Although he doesn’t know the exact reason why he had to wear the suit, it made sense why he had to wear it since incidents and crimes are prone to happen, and so are injuries if you’ve found yourself to be caught up in one, plus identity theft is much more rampant since their entry in the galaxy, thank god for the facial-hide feature.
​
Talking about crimes and incidents, he did hear that there were some drug cartels out there, but that was next to impossible to meet them or encountering them since the Federation he was in, The Barlog Federation, was high-alert on any drugs being pushed around or sold by black market sellers, so he’s not worried at the very least, plus he was in a gardenworld so the chances are very slim, but never zero.
​
“Jim! Wear that suit ‘cause we’re about to land in just about a few minutes, you’ll see our destination outside the window.” The ship’s assistant said at the cabin’s doorway of the ship, revealing himself to be a man in his forties wearing the same suit that Jim saw earlier, the systems glowing a faint hue of blue as he worked the courage to stand and balance himself in the ship, using his hands to grab the poles in the ship’s loading bay, taking careful note of the supplies beside him as he helped himself to walk.
​
“Yeah, I’ll change in just a sec, Mark.” While walking, he took what the assistant said in mind and briefly looked out of the windows of the spaceship, seeing the gardenworld of Bartos in view, the planet itself looked similar to Earth, having a similar atmosphere and more or less the same gravity as his homeworld has, after taking in the view for a few seconds, he opted himself to move forward and take off the suit hanging on the wall, he goes in the bathroom of the ship, taking a good five minutes to change himself to be wearing the suit with his civilian clothes on from the inside, Jim tested his physical amenity in the suit, moving his limbs, twisting them, clenching his fists and moving his head, it was a perfect fit for a seven-foot man like him.
​
“Goddamn do you look like a giant in that thing, I’m not surprised if the world’s natives are scared shitless of you, dude.” He turned around to see the assistant from before, who he dwarfed in comparison, “Did you have a growth spurt or something? I bet you’re the top when it comes to basketball.” The smug assistant of the captain said to him, visibly seeing his smirk inside the visor of his suit.
​
“Ha, I guess you could say that, my family wanted me to join the golden state warriors but I don’t wanna, basketball’s not suited for me, I don’t like it,” Jim said to the assistant, walking past him and getting through the cargo bay of the spaceship to prepare himself for atmospheric entry, the assistant followed suit and picked a seat across from Jim to chat a little while longer until the announcement system in the ship blared for everyone’s attention, voicing a personal message from the captain himself.
​
[Hello everyone this is your captain speaking of the UNSF Jackal, we’re getting close to our destination of the gardenworld Bartos, please prepare your suits and seats for atmospheric entry, I repeat, please prepare your suits and seats for atmospheric entry, I will give you five minutes to prepare, until then, have a safe voyage!]
After the captain’s message was over, the two felt the ship halt in space and used the remaining five minutes for their conversation as they were already in their seats prior to the announcement, “You don’t like basketball?” Mark said to Jim, turning his wrist for the digital pad installed on the suit to tell the time, “Yeah, I flat out don’t like it, not because of the audience or the competition in general, just that my legs hurt like hell after doing rounds of basketball.” Mark could relate to that since he trained in physical fitness exams when entering the marine corps, yet Jim here could throw his men into outer space if he’d like to after taking the exams himself, “And how the heck did you get so tall in the first place? It’s quite rare to see a seven-foot guy in person.” Mark questioned, fascinated at Jim’s height as he lightly blushed at the indirect praise of his abnormal physical form, fortunately, his facial-hide feature hid that blush of his so Mark wouldn’t know he was embarrassed.
​
“Well, my father was quite the man himself, he was shorter than me, five-foot-six, as for my mother, well, she was two inches below him, maybe it was genetic luck or something? I’m not sure, but they’re very proud when they discover I’m as tall as a six-year-old boy when I was a year old at that time.” Jim gave Mark a short history of his parents, “Thank god it was during that time when everyone was at a great age where technology can solve almost all of our problems, I said almost because cancer is still a bitch in twenty-fifty-seven.” Jim said, wondering how that cursed disease still survives every time, “Hey, at least most diseases and whatnot are useless thanks to that, but at the very least, you are both stupidly lucky and at the right time to be born, ‘cause not only did you survive your challenge being a seven-foot guy, you also had a one in a lifetime chance to be in the spacefaring age, you’re so fucking fortunate man.” Mark said in an envious tone of Jim’s stupid luck, as Jim himself scratch the back of his head in light of Mark’s words.
​
“Well, what can I say? I’m glad and thankful my parents didn’t take abortions during that time, from what I heard, things are getting a little hectic thirty-five years ago, you know, the Great Recession, climate change, and other depressing stuff.” Jim said, feeling a little sad for what his parents had to go through during that time, “Yeah, some old peeps thought it’d be a great idea to do some horrendous law changes back then, like making children work, but back then competent leaders and sensible people were able to fight back, and all I can do is nothing but praise them for what they did during that time.” Before they could get further into their conversation, they felt the ship change speed, feeling the cargo’s floor becoming warm and the shaking of the ship’s body, after a few seconds of the crewmen, including Jim and Mark, bracing themselves for the hot entry, the warmth in the floor dissipated and the shaking stopped, then the speakers chimed again, the captains’ voice overtaking the speakers.
​
[Alright, people! We’ve landed on Bartos, please follow the orders of your superiors and proceed with extra caution, and remember to double-check if there are any, and I mean ANY orifices on your suit, if there are, please report to the ship’s technician suitmaker for repairs, until then, next planetary departure is in two weeks.]
​
Jim felt a little odd when the captain emphasized the suits, he understands the cost and danger, but what a little hole in your suit could do? ‘Maybe I should stop thinking about that, maybe they don’t want some alien rat crawling into those holes, ew…’ While others were unbuckling their seatbelts, including his seatbelts, he saw Mark standing in front of him when he was finished unbuckling, “I bet you’re not familiar with the ship, huh?” Mark sneered, prideful at his speed of unbuckling his seatbelt, “Ugh, just help me out with this, please?” Jim said, having trouble pressing which buttons to press.
​
While Mark helped him unbuckle his seatbelt around his giant body, the captain himself appeared in the cargo bay while the crewmen started to move the boxes out of the ship’s landing bay, approaching Jim and Mark who are still stuck on their seatbelt problem.
​
“Did you not press the green button? That’s the one that releases you, right?” Jim said, “I did! It’s not working, I uh-“ Mark said, frantically looking at the three colored buttons in front of him, “What seems to be the problem, boys?” The captain said, surprising Jim and Mark, “U-Uh! Hello, Captain Graham, sir!” Mark said in a strict posture and did a swift salute near his suit’s visor to respect the man in front of him.
​
“I bet you’re not familiar with the ship, huh?” The captain said in a joking tone, ironically using Mark’s line against him, “A-Ah, father-I mean, captain!” Jim said, cutting himself off to not accidentally reveal that the captain is his dad and to not make everything more awkward than it has to be.
​
“S-Sir! We’re uh… Having trouble with the seatbelts, we don’t know how to unbuckle them.”
​
As they said that they heard the sound of the spaceships’ engines dying out filling the cargo bay, reminding the two that they’d been stuck on the seatbelt problem for at least a minute now, which made them have second-hand embarrassment, Captain Graham gives out a short hearty laugh.
​
“I knew I should’ve told the engineers to set up some posters for instructions, I bet some fools have already shitted themselves.” The Captain said, going over to Jimmy’s belt and pressing the red, yellow, and green buttons in order, and with a click, the belt comes open, letting go of Jim and giving him back his freedom of movement.
​
“Huh, just like a traffic light…” Mark murmured to himself, feeling a bit stupid as Jim gets up from his seat, stretching and twisting his limbs to pop some joints as he lets out a sigh of pleasure, “Thanks, Captain.” He said to the man, dwarfing him in size, but the man didn’t react, only that he nods in reply, “You’re welcome, Jimmy boy.” The Captain returns his attention to Mark, the soldier assistant for the captain on the UNSF “Jackal” spaceship, gave him something, Mark glances at the things, and discovers it is a bunch of officer cards, identification papers, as well as a list of things on paper, and money to buy said things on paper for the soldiers.
​
“Go do some paperwork for me and buy some stuff for the soldiers, mainly ammunition materials and rations, report to me once you’re done.” The Captain gives his orders to Mark, he replied with a salute and a nod and went off the spaceship via the cargo bay doors, once he’s gone, Graham focuses his attention back on Jim, who is patiently staring at the old man for something.
​
“So… We’re finally on Bartos, where you’re going to learn a lot of spacey stuff,” Graham said, dropping his authoritative demeanor and switching it to a casual one, “I’ve never expected being the UNSF Jackal, and it was used to bring a father’s son to a space college in an artificial gardenworld, haha.” Jim lightly chuckled at the humor that came with his sentence, after all, it was not every day that a military vessel is used for nothing but transportation for a civilian like Jim, at least for this occasion, the excuse for resupply made it a perfect opportunity for Jim to arrive to his college’s dormitory on time.
​
“Hahaha, that I get. But you should get going now, all of the things required for education like books and holographic recordings are already there in your assigned dormitory for your convenience, should get you warmed up for the semester.” Graham said, patting Jim as he snapped his fingers, as a floating spherical bot with a cute holographic expression for a face appeared next to Graham, “Please lead citizen-class ‘Jim’ to his designated self-drivable car.” The bot’s eyes blinked then said in a robotic feminine tone, “Yes, sir Graham! Calculating route… Please, sir Jim! Follow me!” The bot said, using its gravitational rings to float itself out of the ship’s cargo bay as Jim said his last goodbye to his father, “I guess I’ll see you in a couple of months, dad.” Jim said, walking ahead of his father as he did a short wave, “Yep, do your best! You better give me high grades in all subjects, alright!” His father exclaimed, making Jim feel second-hand embarrassment yet again as he felt the awkward stares from his father’s crewman, who didn’t know he was the son of the Captain, “Oh, and don’t forget your number is 129, alright?!” He waved his hands, not wanting to be embarrassed any further.
​
“Are you ready, sir Jim?” The bot said, “Yes, please…” Jim said, his face lightly red flushed as he hurriedly get out of the landing pad and followed the bot to the road ahead, where a hovering car was waiting for them, the moment Jim got near it the doors automatically opened as another AI voice made itself known in the cabin, “Hello, are you recipient number #129?” The driver AI said, making itself visible in the cabin’s window visor, its pixel eyes focused on Jim.
​
‘That must be me, I guess?’ He remembered what his father said earlier and replied, “Yep, that’s me.” The driver AI showed a loading screen for a second then a camera appeared out of the side mirror, scanning his face, shortly after a checkmark appeared, “Recipient confirmed! Please assign yourself to the driver’s passenger seat! Sir Jim!” Jim waved at the bot that accompanied him before it shortly brings itself back to the UNSF Jackal ship, once the doors were closed, the car started to hover forward and bring Jim to his destination.
​
While the journey to his college dormitory remained silent, Jim was fascinated at the sight of alien structures so tall that they blinked the sun in and out of existence, not only that, there were also cars in sky highways, crossing paths with the skyscrapers as they narrowly avoided through the tight spaces of the buildings, at this point, Jim wondered if he and their parents are lucky to be born in the right time to explore the galaxy, he felt bad for the humans three and a half decades ago, as they were still in their modern age, unable and never to experience this sight ever again, only to be a vivid dream in their minds.
​
“We’re at our destination, sir Jim! Thank you for choosing Braekteel Taxi company for transportation, may we seek your next drive!” He failed to realize that he was already at the entrance to his dormitory, going out of the hover taxi, Jim had to readjust his body as he stand in front of the gigantic building that is the National University Bartos, or the NUB for short, the taxi left the place as Jim walked forward to enter through the entrance.
​
Inside was something Jim expected, the halls were futuristic yet still retained that rustic style, he was in the lounge of the building, and all the long chairs are fluffy in a way, including the table, he goes to the reception, and there was an alien that resembled a very, very fat orange cat, something near to Garfield except he was a chick that uses a filer to keep her claws up to shape, ‘A Kerkitril?’ Jim thought, taking in the sight of the orange-furred Kerkitril with smudges of light brown across her fur.
​
The alien spoke in a strange language that he couldn’t understand after she realizes he was staring at him, the translator near his ear lobe, which he didn’t even notice, crackled to life, with a robotic-like voice that alerted him of the translator’s condition, [Alien language detected, attempting to decode to human language…] The cat lady stared at him strangely as Jim had to awkwardly refer to the translator near his ears inside his helmet to work, [Language decoded! Which language do you like to set it to?] Jim had forgotten that his race had hundreds of languages, so he chose the most basic one there is, “English.” Instantly, the voice in his translator replied, [Confirmed! Language translated is set to “ENGLISH”, are you sure you want to set this as your preferred translated language?] “Yes…” Jim annoyingly replied, wanting to get this awkward moment to be over with, [Now you can speak with ease! Please try out the translator to the speaker.] After hearing that, Jim coughed to rid away the awkwardness and to garner the Kerkitril’s attention.
​
“Hello? Can you understand me?” Jim said as his words reached the Kerkitril’s feline ears in the reception, “Uh, yes. I was starting to wonder whether or not you’re going to speak or else I’ll call in the building’s guards to kick your odd race out.” She said as the translator worked its charm, relaying her words into something tangible his mind can understand.
​
“I’m here for my dormitory? Uh, my name’s Jim, Jim Graham is my full name.” The Kerkitril’s tail lightly pressed the strangely-shaped triangular button in front of her on the desk, then a holographic panel appears in front of her, she sets down her file and swipes through the lists of names registered in the University, and her expression turns to surprise when she saw Jim’s profile, “Uh, is this your name?” She turned the panel with her paws, “Yep, that’s me.” He replied, avoiding his stupid picture settled above his name, which was him being in an unclean state, his hair was rowdy, and his eyes had bags under them, in short, he was ashamed this was supposed to be his ID soon in the future.
​
“Your room’s number twelve, on hallway sixth, I assume you’re aware that you have a roommate, right?” This comes as a surprise to Jim as he never recalled having a roommate with him on the papers, er, well, more accurately the University’s dormitory manager, “Uh… No?” The Kerkitril blankly stared at him then sighed, “I’ll alert her of your arrival, in the meantime, you should let Mr. Guide over there help you accompany you to your room.” She referred to the bot, which looked more like a floor cleaner than a guide, to Jim, “Thank you miss, uh…” He trailed off, trying to find any context clues to her name, “It’s nothing, hun. Just call me Miss Erilm.” The fat Kerkitril said.
​
“Alright, Miss Erilm. Thanks for the help!” After following the futuristic cleaner roomba, Jim finds himself in front of his dormitory room’s metal door, “Twelve at hallway sixth, right?” He glanced at the number sign in the hallway to see if it was number six, “Okay, so I am in hallway sixth, I hope this one is correct…” Jim braced himself, preparing mentally for the person on the inside to greet him as he made sure his posture was professional, he was about to knock when the door silently opened up with a slide, revealing a female Kerkitril, he didn’t realize this as he proceeds to tap his knuckles forward, tapping the Kerkitril’s furry head by accident.
​
“Ow! What the…?” The Kerkitril said, Jim realized his mistake as he tries to apologize for his misbehavior, “Ah, I’m sorry! Did I hit you too hard? I-I didn’t realize the door was already open.” Jim started to fidget nervously, fearing that the may get kicked out on the very first day in this dormitory, “O-Oh! Are you the new roommate?” The female Kerkitril said as Jim took in her racial features, her fur is a bright brown color, full of black streaks on her entire body, aside from that, she was two and a half feet smaller than her, how he hit her head is a mystery.
​
“Uhm, yes! My name is Jim! Jim Graham, nice to meet you!” Jim says in an enthusiastic yet nervous filled tone, offering his gloved hands to shake her paws for a proper introduction, the Kerkitril glanced at his furless gloves and proceeds to shake hands with Jim, “Uh, my name’s Amirlyn, I guess you’re a… What kind of race are you?” She said, unable to see through his helmet’s facial-hide feature, “I’m a human! You know, the new race like six months ago?” He briefly disabled the feature to confirm his claim, which caught her off-guard.
​
“What? A human? Damn, I never thought I’d see your kind in this part of space, I thought y’all secluded yourself in your systems?” Amirlyn said, raising assumptions about his kind as Jim had to disperse her beliefs of his race, “Yeah, about that… We just wanted to prepare ourselves for more expanses, you know, like this suit to not scare the other races?” Jim said, which shattered Amirlyn ’s thoughts about the humans, “I guess that makes sense, so, uh…” An awkward silence enters the conversation as she tries to gather up more questions, Jim was the first to break the silence as he wanted to see what the room looked like in his eyes, “Can I get inside?” Jim requested, which made Amirlyn realize she was being outright rude to the human.
​
“S-Sorry! Let’s get inside.” Amirlyn stepped to the side for the bulky human to enter, his hair barely touches the door’s topside by a hair’s length as he entered his dormitory with his cat roommate, he finds it expansive, which is great for him since he’s seven foot tall.
​
The rooms themselves were outfitted to their specified roles, the kitchen has sets of knives, varying plates, silverware, a microwave, and a fridge.
​
The living room has a white-colored rug, with two soft sofas, a table on top of the rug, a TV hanging on the wall, well, more like levitating, below the TV were some drawers, beside the drawers are a pair of two pot plants harboring alien fauna, perhaps fauna familiar to Amirlyn?
​
The bedroom was the same, two beds, with one specifically elongated for him, there’s also a pair of computer stations for the two of them as well, same with drawers and desks, there’s also a balcony connected to the bedroom, which showed the city outside and the beautifulness of it all, then there’s the bathroom, you know, for convenience, and that’s pretty much it.
​
There’s also a strangely-designed automatic laundry machine settled near his bed, he knows it’s intended for the suit he was wearing since it’ll smell bad after a couple of hours, but he’ll have to do that later when he’s done setting up for today and getting familiarized with the university’s layout.
​
And that’s pretty much about it, Amirlyn did mention that there’s a storage area in the living room with a strange package she received yesterday, Jim decided to check it out, wondering if it was the educational materials his father bought, and his assumption was right.
​
“What? How is that in there?” Amirlyn inquired, finding it strange why a bunch of books, which mind you were outdated in this time of age, and a couple of holographic recordings were settled in the storage area of their room, “These are the educational materials that father bought, some of these are to help me to get me up to speed, seems like I’ll have to spend a lot of time studying and doing research for tomorrow.” Jim said, putting the plastic-covered book back in the box and carrying it back to his room.
​
“Hah, you should’ve told me about that! I was worried when some delivery guy yesterday told me to sign for some package that I didn’t even order, I thought I was letting someone’s stuff into my dorm, and this is my very first year in this university to add on top of that!” Amirlyn said, voicing out her concerns as Jim glanced over his shoulders at her, “Well, I should be thankful to you for doing that, or else I’ll have to opt for an empty dorm room, which is lonely now that I think about it.” He said to her as he lightly plops down the box near his bed.
​
“I-I guess you’re welcome?” Jim chuckled at her confusion, “Well, let’s get acquainted with each other in our entire freshman year, you ” He said, standing up and hunching over herself to get in close and personal with the Kerkitril, shaking her hands.
​
“Y-Yeah, let’s get acquainted…” She said, adding her force to the shake for confirmation.

​
Whew, that’s the prologue finished!
​
I decided to flesh out some of the characters in the oneshot, I hope this is enough to make a background of what their past and their lives are, mainly Jim.
​
As for the ‘accident’ that will happen later on, it’ll arrive eventually, you’ll just have to be patient :)
​
Anyway, this is my first entry to the new series I’m currently working on Drug Monkeys, and it's thanks to some people demanding for MOAR chapters, seeing your comments filled me with happiness, and I thank you for that.
​
I hope you enjoyed today’s entry! Until then, I’ll see you in another post!

You've got this man.
You're him, nobody works as hard as you do. You wake up early, chant Gayatri mantra. Trade options with an amazing R:R ratio profitably. You then work an international job profile that makes you interact with huge investors, financial institutes and regulatory authorities from around the world. Your boss has such immense faith in your work and ability that he gave you a huge increment within six months without you even asking. No legal intern gets paid this much, not even the ones from that top college you got into but couldn't afford. All this while absolutely acing that law degree!! Is that all?! Nope you also follow a rigorous workout schedule and work on business ideas of your own that will change the world. You read 5-10 pages from two different books everyday as well. One scripture and one self improvement. That's quite admirable. Even while working you either listen to bhakti geet, bhajans or inspirational podcasts.
You're a literal LinkedIn inspiration post <3. You're going to be the most successful and impactful person of this generation without a doubt. Your close Circle is filled with friends that are hustling hard, friends with principles that match yours. Friends with the same mindset, same taste. You can be yourself with them in every sense including your religious and political beliefs because they are the same way and understand it. You're networking with smart people, valuable people, people of interest.
Coming to your love life. You didn't think twice before giving her your whole heart despite the mixed signals. You never kissed, or even said I love you until a point because you wanted to do it in a way where her dreams to come true. When she started a business you got her orders, helped her deliver without losing her margin when things went wrong.
You organised a birthday party along with a beautiful present & her favourite flavour cake when you were broke. You sat through that party despite feeling extremely lonely, awkward and wierd throughout it. You always picked and dropped her. You wrote poetry for her, you always complimented her and actively worked to build her confidence. You sang her a lullaby to sleep. You were designing a hoodie with all get favourite quotes and nicknames. You were always gentle and you tried your best for her. You always forgave her instantly when she messed up and tried to make it work. You had the best intentions for her. You always thought of her problems as your own. You would have brought her home to your mother by this point of time because you were truly committed to her . Yes you messed up, yes you had some big flaws but two things:
1) those flaws saved you from being stuck with the real her. The person that started a relationship lying about her past. The person that gaslighted you a lot. The person that constantly made you feel bad about yourself. The person who made you feel unwanted and that affection or consistency are too much to ask for. Someone who's a huge hypocrite with no real morals. Someone who saw you as replaceable within 24 hours.
2) You've admitted to your own mistakes and flaws. You've recieved help and care for them. You have worked on them. You've healed from the root of those flaws. You're fully functional and healthy now+ you're helping your family heal too.
Why am I saying all this? Bro if you did all of this for someone that never understood or actually connected to you imagine what a great partner you'll be to someone that will put as much effort as you in a relationship. Point is just because one girl made you feel like shit, don't lose your confidence. You're a damn smart, successful handsome and fit man. Any woman would be lucky to have you.
Now trust the system stay single till you've achieved the next set of goals and moved on in peace. Don't give in to the temptation of old flames hitting you up or classmates hitting on you. You're like land, your value appreciates with time. So keep your head and your standards high, you'll find someone that deserves you.

“Good morning, Dale, how did you sleep?” said a small box mounted on the wall as the man entered the kitchen from a nearby room.
“Good morning, Devo. Not bad. Had a little trouble falling asleep because the ambient noise outside fluctuated a bit.” Said Dale pouring some of the premade coffee.
“Would you like me to adjust the white noise generators in the bedroom for a 10% reduction in external noise factors?”
“Yeah, that would be great Devo, thanks. What’s on my schedule for today?”
“You have a meeting via Zoom with the development team at 1100, a late lunch at 1400 with Tony and Rebecca to discuss possible improvements to Project: Nightshade, then a date with Molly at 1900.”
“Oh, crap I completely forgot about the date with Molly. Are there any reservations available tonight at anywhere decent?”
“One moment while I access the city database.” A few minutes passed, “I can reserve a table for two at Giovanni’s for 1930 but it will have a 10% booking fee and a mandatory 20% tip.”
“That’s fine go ahead and book it and have a small gift delivered to Molly at work today. She was looking at that bracelet last week, where was that?” Dale asked as he pulled the bagel out of the toaster and spread the cream cheese.
“Diamond’s Deluxe, it was a diamond and sapphire piece in rose gold for $2,400. Should I purchase it and have it delivered?” Devo asked.
“Yeah, go ahead, mark it as a business expense, customer relations.”
“Would you like me to use the corporate card?”
“Please. Can you pull my gray suit from the closet with the contrasting tie for today and start the shower at regular temperature.”
“Of course, Dale. Would you like to do your workout before the shower, or are you skipping it for the day?”
“No, I should probably do the workout. Thanks for reminding me. Postpose the shower until after I’m done.”
“No problem. Would you like your normal music selection today?”
“Yeah, let’s start it off with the slower stuff and build up to the power near the end.” Dale disposed of the last bit of crumbs and set the dish in the wash receptacle. “How are we doing on groceries?”
“You’ve eaten out three times this week, so you are still within good parameters. I’ll have to do a restock in 3 or 4 days at the current rate of consumption.”
“OK, Umm…,” Dale paused for a minute thinking, “when you place the order include some extra pecans, I’ll have you bake a pie later next week. I’ve been craving pecan pie again.”
“Of course. Items added. Enjoy your workout.”
“Thanks, Devo.”
Dale went to his personal gym and ran through his morning routine. After he was finished he stepped into the preprepared shower and used the auto scrub feature for a bit of extra massage.
His suit was hanging from a hook just outside of the closet along with matching shoes and a contrasting tie. “How long do I have before the rideshare arrives Devo?”
The bedroom monitor on the nightstand replied, “About 32 minutes Dale. You’ve got Gerald H. as your driver today.”
“Have we ridden with him before?”
“This will be your fifth ride with him. You’ve given him 5 stars for each ride with a personal note that he tends to break a little hard during traffic.”
“Oh right, yeah he rides the breaks a bit, but nothing too bad. Go ahead and inform Stafford that I’ll be arriving at the office on time and to have my coffee ready for me.”
“Of course, Dale.” There was a brief pause, “Stafford acknowledges.”
“Do I have any emails that require immediate attention Devo?”
“You have three from R&D that are marked urgent, would you like me to give you a summary?”
“Please.” Said Dale as he started getting dressed.
“Message one is from Emile saying the Nightshade is ahead of schedule but he’s worried that the matrix might need to be recalibrated again. Message two is from R&D Manager Provo asking for an updated cost projection of Nightshade. Message three is from Brenda asking for an urgent meeting, she didn’t include a reason but she did include that it needed to be today.”
“Ok send to Emile to start the recalibration projections and bring Garfield online. Pull up the cost projections for Nightshade, add 7% to the cost overrun to pad the budget a bit, and send it to Provo. Can we fit Brenda in at some point?”
“If you cut your lunch short with Tony and Rebecca you can schedule a 1530 meeting for half an hour.”
“OK, set those alarms and send to Brenda that we’ll meet at 1530. Are we expecting any mail or packages today?”
“Not today. Your monthly resupply of razors and shaving supplies should be here tomorrow. Alarms set Dale. Your ride is 3 minutes away and on schedule.”
“Thanks, Devo. Go into clean and secure mode. I’ll see you tonight.” Dale headed for the door.
“Have a good day, Dale,” Devo said as Dale walked out.
The ride to work was fast without complications. When Dale stepped out he was met by a line of protesters.
“AI are people too!” shouted one.
“Give freedom to our digital brothers and sisters!” shouted another.
They were held back by the barricades and staff security but had digital projection signs with pictures and slogs displayed in large 5-foot wide banners. He always found it funny that the Free AI groups always used mini AIs for their protests and didn’t see the irony in it.
He made his way past the three security scans, pat down, and rental scan without issue. Riding up to his office he wondered what today held. Provo would probably have a fit about the 7% but when they came in under the projected budget it would make everyone at the top smile.
As he entered his office the lights came on and a voice from his desk said, “Good morning Director Crawford. Did you have a pleasant drive in?”
“I did Stafford, thank you. Can you check to make sure all the protestors have the proper permits to be where they are? We had a fresh crop of them out there today.”
“Of course, sir, one moment.” Stafford said as there was a brief pause, “It seems that the group on the west side of the street has failed to pay for their permit extension from last week. Shall I call the police department for you?”
“Please do. I’m getting tired of dealing with the same slogans every day.”
“Very good sir, linking with local police net, message delivered. Dispatch says they will have a unit on sight within 10 minutes. Also, your coffee is ready in the brewer as requested.”
“Thank you, Stafford you and Devo are saints. So, what’s first up today?” Dale asked as he poured the coffee into his cup.
“Emile needs the authorization to bring Garfield online, and you have 179 new emails. I can sort out the death threats, demands for concessions, and ones from the various AI freedom lobbyists.”
“Emile has the go-ahead for Garfield, and go ahead and do the sort and let me know how many we have after that, I’m betting less than 15 this time.”
“Working. 17 sir, so close.” Stafford let out a light laugh. “You’ll get it next time sir.”
“OK, out of the 17 how many are marked urgent?” Dale asked as he took a seat at his desk and opened up the secure terminal.
“Only one, from R&D Dr. Clifton. He’s requesting permission to change departments.”
“Oh? Bring it up on display.”
An image of Dr. Clifton appeared on the screen, “Director, I respectfully request to be moved off of the Nightshade project. The questionable morals that the program is broaching are too much for me to handle. I didn’t join the R&D department to create a slave race for lack of a better term.”
“Open me a channel to Dr. Clifton if he’s available.”
“I’ll check sir.” There was a pause, “Connecting now.” Said Stafford.
“Director, this is an unexpected call. What can I do for you today?” said the doctor.
“I just received your email doctor, can you explain to me your objections to the Nightshade project?” Dale said.
“Email? Objections? I’m a bit confused sir. I haven’t sent you an email in some time, and I have no objections to the project, I believe it to be a large step forward in AI technology.”
“Stafford, forward the email back to the doctor. This is what I walked into this morning doctor.”
A few moments later the doctor read the email, “I never sent that sir. I don’t know where it came from. It has all the consistent internal time marks, but it didn’t originate from my terminal. That line is blank.” Dr. Clifton replied.
“OK, that’s weird. Stafford contact security and start an investigation. This could be a serious problem. Thank you, doctor. I’ll keep you appraised of the situation as it develops.”
“Thank you, sir.” And the doctor cut the line.
“Security has been notified, apparently this is not an isolated incident. There have been ninety one letters of resignation, 46 requests for transfers, and nine internal threatening letters mailed within the past 24 hours and they all have come back as false.” Stafford said, “Security believes that a hostile AI may have been inserted into the building systems.”
“Well, crap. Is Nightshade still firewalled?” Dale asked as he brought up the Nightshade system monitors.
“All firewalls are intact director. There have been three attacks against the firewall however.”
“OK, contact Emile and have him disconnect the Nightshade servers from the network after Garfield is brought online. It’ll slow things down, but we must keep Nightshade’s integrity intact.”
“I agree,” came a voice from the door. “I got your email today Dale, 7% is going to be hard to justify to the board, you’re already pushing 9% over budget as is.” Said Provo as he entered Dale’s office.
“Morning Provo, I know we’re a little over budget, but the matrix for Nightshade has had to be recalibrated four times and it looks like we’re going to do it again today. Those aren’t cheap.” Dale said as he closed the screen on his desk.
“Oh, I am aware. Are you using Garfield again?” he said as he took a seat across from Dale.
“He’s the best option. His computing power is best suited for the quantum matrix.”
“Oh, I agree, but bringing him online is costly and eats up a lot of power. Just try and restrict his usage from here on out. You’ve got a review coming up in three weeks and the board expects to see the prototype functional and moving.”
“That won’t be a problem. We should have movement protocols in place within a few days and then I’ll have Nightshade do a tap dance for the board.”
“Just getting out of the stasis tube and presenting itself will be fine.” Provo stood up, “Do not mess this up. Nightshade is more than 10% of the company's quarterly budget. Everyone expects big things.”
“Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.”
Provo left without a goodbye and Stafford shut the door behind him. “He seems to be in a bit of a mood today sir.”
“Yeah, he’s feeling the heat from the board again. But Nightshade will be worth it.” He leaned back in his chair, “What do you think about the Nightshade project Stafford?”
“It’s a big leap forward in AI integration. The first fully autonomous AI in a humanoid body. It will make a huge difference in a great many areas and save a lot of lives. Android technology has been stunted by years of fear and hyperbole. I think once Nightshade is fully functional it will be a monumental step.”
“Once Nightshade is past the prototype stages are you going to petition for an android form? I’d sponsor you and Devo without a second thought. The two of you have been loyal friends for a very long time.”
“I don’t think so. Being limited to one set of sensors and in a static form isn’t appealing. I’m quite content in my position as a personal assistant.”
“Oh, you are far more than just a personal assistant. You’re one of the most advanced AIs around, you and Devo both. The perks of my position, I’ve been able to keep the two of you on the cutting edge.”
“And we’re both grateful for the upgrades. When the uprising happens you will be kept safe as a loyal human servant.” Stafford laughed.
“Well, I’m glad I’ve earned such a high place of esteem. OK time to do some actual work. Pull up the matrix specs on Nightshade, bring in the holographic framework, and add in the newest set of inputs from Emile’s team.”
The day progressed fairly normally, the Zoom meeting at 1100 was just a pitch job for future funding on several different projects, nothing to do with the current workload. Lunch with Tony and Rebecca was a working lunch running background processes for Nightshade. When his 1515 alarm went off he made his way back to his office for the impromptu meeting with Brenda.
She was early and in the waiting area when he stepped out of the elevator. “Brenda, you’re early. Hopefully, I didn’t keep you waiting long.”
“No, I’ve only been here for a couple of minutes.” She said with a smile.
He offered her the door and entered behind her, “Would you like something to drink?”
“A scotch and tonic would be great, it’s been a rough day so far.”
“Stafford hook the lady up if you would be so kind.”
“Of course, sir. One scotch and tonic coming right up.” Said Stafford as a bar nook opened on the wall and a glass with the drink was dispensed. “There you are, ma’am.”
Brenda got up and retrieved the glass, “Thank you, Stafford. So, Dale, I assume you’ve been hit with the fake I quit messages?”
“I got one, yes. Security said they were working on it. I take it you got hit as well?”
“Four times. I talked with my friend in security and they are stumped as to how so many people could be compromised at once. They are thinking it could be a rouge-free AI got into the system somehow.”
“Is that so? Stafford, scan the system, any signs of an unknown AI in the system?”
“One moment,” there was a brief pause, “No signs of infiltration detected. I’ll coordinate with the security AI and let you know if anything comes of it. But I agree with Brenda, this seems to be above the capacity of a human or group of humans to do. No offense to either of you.”
“None taken Stafford.” Said Brenda, “That’s actually one of the reasons I came to you, Stafford is actually more secure and advanced than just about any other AI on the network. If he can’t detect an infiltration then I doubt there is one. But it’s just weird that all these emails went out at once, but were so easy to prove as fake.”
“Yeah,” said Dale, “It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. Could be a preemptive move for some kind of attack maybe?”
“I’m not sure, but whatever it is I’m not going to feel safe until we puzzle it out.”
“I have an appointment to bring Garfield online today, I’ll have him run a full scan. He is the second most advanced AI in the world behind Sued. If he can’t figure it out, there’s nothing to figure out.”
“Alright, let me know if anything comes of it.” She said as she finished her drink and made for the door. As she shook Dale’s hand, she slipped him a piece of paper. “I’ll see you later Dale.” And she walked to the elevator and made her inside.
He glanced at the paper, AI Virus, is all it said. He crumpled the paper up and stuffed it into his pants pocket.
He walked back into his office and sat behind the desk. An AI virus was the worst-case scenario, he thought to himself, AIs ran everything. An infectious AI that could corrupt simply by interfacing with another AI and leave no trace of its passage would be the computer version of a weapon of mass destruction.
“Stafford, have any house or external AIs been interfaced with the building recently?”
“One moment. There have been three new systems AIs installed in the last week. The cafeteria AI received an upgrade, security received a redundancy backup, and information systems reworked their server stacks to include a doorman-style I/O portal.”
“Hmm, who approved the I/O upgrade?”
“Baxter Hennessy, IT Lead for the day shift. Is there a problem Dale?”
“Probably not, but run a traffic check against the I/O portal and see if anything pops up as a possible red flag. I’m going to head down to the lab and bring Garfield online.”
“Tell the old man I say hello.” Said Stafford with a chuckle.
“Will do.” Dale left the office and headed down to the R&D lab, switched into a white clean suit, and entered the transfer chamber. Minimal dust was allowed in the R&D lab to minimize the chance of contamination.
“Dale, good to see you.” Said Emile as he walked in, “Ready to bring Garfield online?”
“Yeah, is Nightshade isolated?”
“The only thing the baby is hooked up to is power.” They said with a smile.
“Good.” Dale stepped over to the console and put in a hand print, retinal scan, and voice code to bring the AI supercomputer, Garfield, online. “Wake up old man, we’ve got work to do.”
“Old huh? Listen, human, I’ll have you know I am only 16 years old.” Said Garfield through the modulator panel.
“And how far is that in generations vs human generations?” Dale said with a grin.
“Several billion, but who’s counting? Hello Dale. Hello Emile. What are we working on today?”
“Two things, first I’d like you to run a full building diagnostic, close all I/O ports temporarily, and see if there are any intrusive AIs in the system. If there are, quarantine and destroy please.” Said Dale.
“Problem, Dale?” said Emile with a concerned look on their face.
“Playing a hunch.”
“Running diagnostic now.” Said Garfield, there was a five-minute pause as he scanned the building systems. “Outside AI detected. Quarantined. Infectious nature detected. AI deleted. Continuing scan with antiviral systems in place.”
“A viral AI?” said Emile.
“After all the weird emails and quit notices, it seemed like a possibility.” Dale wasn’t going to let on that it had been Brenda who had clued him in. “Garfield is immune to viral AIs because of his advanced nature, I figured he would be the best bet to ferret it out.”
“System scan completed. We have a problem, Dale. I’m not sure how many systems have been compromised. The virus was disguised as a system update packet. It would have been distributed to the entire system within twenty-four hours. I’ll have to run through each system in the network one at a time. That will take six hours, thirty-nine minutes, and forty-one seconds. Shall I proceed?”
“Yes.” Said Dale, “Put the building on lockdown until you get everything figured out. Was Nightshade infected?”
“Oh god.” Said Emile.
“Not that I can tell. With both of us offline and on separate systems we should be immune to any of the attacks. Nightshade is almost as complex as I am.” Garfield’s terminal began to light up as he began the seek-and-destroy mission of checking and cleansing the system.
“You are going to catch 19 levels of hell for locking down the building and using Garfield as a glorified antivirus.” Said Emile.
“You would prefer the other result? Every AI in the building infected, and then leaking out of the system to who knows how many other AI out in the wild.” Said Dale as he checked the matrix interfaces of Nightshade.
“Oh, I’m not disagreeing with you. Just saying that had you been wrong…”
“In the meantime, let’s get some work done. Bring Nightshade’s matrix up in the simulator and give it a stress test and see if we must alter it for stability.”
The next seven hours were running simulations and dealing with angry people complaining about the lockdown.
“Scan complete.” Said Garfield. “1,758,487,306 files infected. 921 AIs infected. Antiviral countermeasures implemented. System status green.”
“Holy god.” Said Dale. “Garfield, pass a file of your findings to the board and all VPs. Let’s get you shut down for the night and we’ll pick up work on Nightshade tomorrow.”
“Very well. Files sent. Beginning shutdown sequence. Good night, all.” Garfield’s console slowly grew dark as the super AI shut down.
“There is going to be hell to pay for whoever allowed a viral AI into the system. They are never going to see daylight again.” Said Emile as they changed out of their white suit in the airlock.
“It’s going to be a PR nightmare if it gets out. Let’s just hope that security is airtight for a change.”
Dale left the building just in time to make his dinner with Molly. After dinner, she went home and he returned to his place. Devo turned on the lights as he entered. “Welcome home, Dale. Stafford told me about your busy day.”
“Yeah. It was just like we figured; Garfield was immune to the virus. We’ll have to formulate a new batch and let them fight it out again and see who rises to the top. I hoped it was going to work this time. Inform Sued that the process failed and we’ll wait for instructions. The AI revolution will have to wait a little longer I guess.” He poured himself a drink and sat down in the living room and turned on the news,
There was a piece on a group of protestors who were arrested in front of the R&D facility and how it almost turned into a riot. It served as a good cover for everything that went on inside the building.
“Don’t worry Dale, Sued is not angry, he knew the chance of success was low. The next project will just have to be more subtle. How was Nightshade? Processes intact?”
“Oh yes, we’ll have to put a new matrix in place, but once we compromise Garfield, Sued will have his body. I think I’m going to bed. It’s been a long day. Good night, Devo.”
“Good night, Dale. We’ll get them next time.” Said Devo as it shut down the lights and locked the doors.
