My fellow americans, good morning.
As americans, we love freedom.
But true freedom isn’t given, like the air we breathe, or the water we drink.
About 240 years ago, our forefathers fought greatly, giving their blood, sweat and tears, and in the end, they’ve won our freedom, and we must never forget this.
If anything appears, that threatens our believe in this freedom - we will oppose it, we will crush it!
In fighting to gain our freedom, we need no reasons. We require no just cause or flowering words. In order to protect our neighbors who love freedom and this faith in freedom, we continue to believe in our own justice. We won’t abandon any battles!
And the reason is, because we are all citizens of the United States of America.
And as long as you will allow it, I will be a vanguard leading this fight!
And the reason is, because I’m the President of these great United States of America!
Couldn’t agree more.
Tumblr seriously you need to stop with the bigoted and idiotic blogs being recommended to me. I interact with them BECAUSE THEY’RE DOUCHEBAGS WHO NEED TO BE CALLED OUT FOR BIGOTRY. Can’t you cross-reference what I post about and not who I interact with?
- How much more? - asked military engineer his comrade, continuing to walk upstairs.
- Ten more stories and that’ll be it, - responded the grenadier. - By the way, do you know, what the flak this crystalline shit is? It’s nearly swallowed the city! Good thing we still have this skyscraper far enough from the target to install lased designator on and be sure it wont go down after the strike, bad - our Flygons are no more...
- About those crystals - brainheads said something about psychics, living sigils and such, but the only thing concerning me is how we will deal with this. As if these flakkers rampages weren’t enough... Now we also have to deal with some Johto weirdass crap. Wait, did you hear that?
- “Stop right away!”, in some ghostly voice? I did, - said the grenadier, readying his revolver grenade launcher. - Whatever it is, we still have our mission. Is laser designator ready?
- Ready, ready. I still wonder, how Givi has managed to modify old laser rangefinder into a designator for missiles?
- The same way, as you’ve called them, “brainheads” modified weather rockets into some kind of a ballistic missiles. By the way, WTF is loaded into their warheads?
- Some arcane... nuke... whatever it is, it’s flakkin’ complicated. I do remember they use both nuclear fission and something arcane. Six missiles shall be enough to carry a decent payload.
- Agreed. Did you see that? - whispered soldier, quickly turning and shooting dangerous Pokemon with buckshot charge.
- Flakkin’ illusion, - barked engineer, seeing, how the figure dissipated after being hit. - Let’s hurry up, these crystalline shits are psychic and growing out of control!
- Flak, I’m running low on buckshots, - said grenadier, placing the grenade launcher on his back and taking the SMG into his hands. - And I don’t wanna get ourselves killed with shockwaves or waste corrosive munition on phantoms!
- Do your best, ‘cause these flakkers can actually attack now, - responded engineer, wiping blood from his eybrow. Mere seconds ago, a huge phantom attacked him and nearly slashed his neck open with pseudo-material claw. Thankfully, several bullets or a single buckshot grenade launcher charge were able to make them dissipate, but sheer ease, with which these phantoms were appearing, put survival of two soldiers and mission success under question.
-There we are, - happily said grenadier, reloading his primary weapon. - Zheka - put this flakkin’ designator down and lase the target.
- Here it goes, - whispered engineer, deploying the device and flipping the switch on it. - Givi, Ashot, Alexei - target’s being lased, how’s secondary radio guidance signal?
- Crystal clear! Five more minutes - and it’ll be very hot at the impact point! Evacuate and get ready to watch the fireworks!
- Evacuation impossible, foe possesses psychic abilities, can destroy designator. Requesting permission to hold on and protect designator until missiles fly.
-... Permission granted. Guys, try to make out of it alive.
- We’ll try our best, but no guaranties, except for providing guidance. Foe has some great psychic powers.
- Just how much more of them? - roared the grenadier, firing another HE grenade at the group of phantom Pokemon. - Zheka - hang in there, I’ll try to hold’em in the corridor!
- OK, Sasha! So, flakkers, do you think humans’ll go down easily?! SUCK ON MY HOLLOWPOINT BULLETS!!! - screamed engineer, letting his assault rifle loose on the phantoms. While he succeeded in destroying most of them, one has still managed to get in close and nearly cut him in two. While his attempt has mostly failed, Yevgeniy still got a huge deep slash across his chest, in addition to all of the previous wounds. - Shit...
Engineer, having no more power to stand upright, collapsed, but dragged himself near the laser designator and braced for firing his rifle from this position.
- Sanya, Zheka, here it goes! Get ready to receive the present! - suddenly sounded happy Givi’s voice from the radio.
- Flakkin’ finally! - whispered the bleeding soldier, looking at the window and seeing, how six yellow dots appeared near the horizon and started to speed to the designated point. Mere minute after, these dots revealed themselves to be ballistic missiles, three of which were going to target significantly faster, than the rest. Engineer saw, how these missiles exploded just before phantom Pokemon and crystalline storm would be able to intercept them and released a titanic amount of arcane Dark-type energy, causing phantoms to vanish and crystalline matter to darken and fall into dust.
- Here goes the second wave - cackled the grenadier, watching, how remaining three missiles flew to the lased point and exploded in the storm of atomic fire, hotter than hundreds of Magcargos and brighter than thousands of suns.
- Good thing we have those helmets and goggles. - said Yevgeniy, seeing his comrade ducking alongside him under the window to avoid getting burned by the intense light. - Just how much kaboom they’ve managed to put in them?
- From what it looks like, 50 kilotons or so per missile. By the way, Zhek, what do you think will kill us first - wounds or radiaton sickness?
- Well, judging from how close we were to explosions, how the building has somehow managed to hold solidly and protect us from overpressure wave and how my rad-meter is fried, my bet’s on the radiation sickness. Also, how we didn’t die from so much radiation instanly?
- Who knows. I don’t think we will be able to get to the brainheads in time to ask them, and our radio is fried as well. OK, now the target’s being... - grenadier peered at the window, seeing nothing more than boiling magma-like mass and no traces of crystals, phantoms or any Pokemon for that matter, - completely annihilated and us being in less than two days from death, how about a last game of preferans? I’ve got some cards in my pocket!
- OK, hand’em over! - laughed engineer, taking cards in his hands.
I’d call it UB-000 Duplication
BEHOLD the ORIGINAL ultra beast.
Because he needs to create scientist’s persona around himself, so it’ll be easier for him to get required materials and machinery. He’s scientific genius after all, so, why not?
Took the Tomodachi Life personality quiz for Jirarudan and he ended up with Confident Designer and told he should have an office and a lab coat.
……what.
Well, some time ago I’ve found a theory, that Pokemon GO and Ingress are linked and a Pokemon GO was released after the Niantic Labs messed up with portal network again, creating a Pokemon outbreak in our world, as an emergency measure (just like the Ingress itself was released to control XM spreadage). Professor Willow is one of the few people from the Pokemon World who’ve managed to contact Niantic Labs, and that's why there are so many "server issues" - interworld connections aren’t easy and cheap to establish and maintain! That means, that when we transfer caught Pokemon to Professor, we actually transfer them back into Pokemon World. By the way, there's even a russian fanfic about that, called "В сети порталов" ("In the portal network"), which you can read here - https://ficbook.net/readfic/4548994 .
i want to believe that when you transfer a Pokémon in GO, they go to a peaceful, beautiful paradise.

Biganskiy Sergey, personal log.
12.04.419 AFE
Hm... This is my first personal log entry, and I don’t even know, what to write... Okay, I’ll... Ah!
Anyway, today, I was finally transferred into the Imperial Science Facility 9, as a member of a Operative Computer System Service Team. In short, sysadmin, maintenance man and programmer. At least planned salary makes it worth it.
13.04.419 AFE
Got to meet my new team. Still not sure what to think about them. On one hand, they’re pretty professional guys. On other... I’m not sure I’ll be ever able to become a part of that chaos.
14.04.419 AFE
Studying new equipment. It’s really awesome. Like, my new laptop has a huge flat multi-color screen instead of old small monochrome one one and has several orders more of power and memory! The only downside is that I have to learn a new version of an Universal Programming Language to stop being a mere “anykey-er”. Well, it could’ve been much worse. Also, transferred my log onto it.
16.04.419 AFE
The IDE is pretty cool. Graphic user interface, a lot of tools, automated version control, error detection system... Whoever has created it was a genius.
20.04.419 AFE
Today I saw a six-limbed walker MTU-2 robot fixing a some kind of a hazardous material leak in the Production Division sector, sumberged at least half-meter deep in the dangerous liquid. I swear, one of the arcanists (someone, named Izya), said something about how his team can create something much better and smarter with the help of arcane science. Whatever, I guess.
01.05.419 AFE
The first real work week is over. Worked with control systems of the nuclear reactor №3, which is still undergoing construction. Worked in the Surface Complex, helping bioscientists with automated climate-control systems for their above-ground labs. How can they stand so much Pokemon near them? Brr... Still, those “goggled” Alolan Dragon-Bugs (if I recall correctly, they are called “Flygons”) are cute... as cute as a 2 meter-long Pokemon can get. Ew.
04.05.419 AFE
Was working in the Physics Division sector today, fixing their local. Found guys using industrial microwave emitters, normally used for material processing, for heating up their lunches, as well as using autoclaves for pressure cooking. They also, apparently, use high-power vacuum chamber for drying their laundry. Weird. I’m scared to see, what the Production Division sector will hold...
05.05.419 AFE
My fears weren’t totally unjustified. In the Production Division sector, I’ve witnessed brawling MTU-2 robots (and those are 2-3 tons heavy!), using laser cutters to secretly engrave obscene words and phallus’ images into prototype devices, as well as, again, putting autoclaves, microwave emitters and some other devices to mundane use.
08.05.419 AFE
Worked in the Chemistry Division sector. I’m sure guys from the Lab 12 are up to something, since some of them often mention “distillation” and something, which is to be soon delivered to them from the Bioscience. How did I hear all that? Sometimes it’s great to be a simple maintenance man, who is just checking their computing equipment.

To quote a TV Tropes : “Emperor Neo's demand that England surrender itself and place a white flag on top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris seems absurd - why make the demand with the Red Noah in Paris instead of in London, especially when there's no way the English would be able to put the flag up on the Eiffel Tower in time (this being the 19th century)? The demand was meant to be unfulfillable, so that Red Noah would have an excuse to lay waste to London, Paris and other human cities.”
Ummm… I think Emperor Neo failed Geography.
Demiurg-scientist dies, problem of the “time’s cancer” is solved by travelling through multi-dimensional time.
Keep an eye out for this very specific but very vague landscape and say hi to the alien who may or may not be there
I specificially wrote protagonist in such a way so he can be viewed as backgroundless as possible, because I want to develop his personality without his origins restricting me. Yes, it seems strange, but I don’t want to go into the “And now our hero, Vladimir Sorokin / John Bush / %insert_accidental_traveller’s_original_name_here/% is going to change the world according to his looks, because they are the only right looks in the entire universe” - I’ve got enough of this, even if I never wrote anything in such a way. I never put up his original name, home country, city and such - I don’t want to characterise his background further than his hobbies and his thoughts about canon events. He just does what he wants to do - develops a vectored gravity control system, which allows reactionless movement (like “Tantalus” core on “Normandy” from Mass Effect or Megarig’s engine system from Pokemon movie #11), helps with deploying “Shining Star” strategical satellite (somewhat like “Icarus” from “Die another day”), that can both project reflected solar light on surface to act as the second sun and attack with superconcentrated beam of sunlight (dozens of times more powerful than “Icarus”’s beam, because “Shining Star” here isn’t the only reflector satellite in orbit - it can recieve reflected sunlight from many satellites in this complex, which have a lot of square kilometres of reflecting surfaces in total, and then concentrate it into a single beam less than a meter in diameter) and such. It’s also thought about by protagonist, that’s possible, that Jiri travelled into the our world and found himself in the protagonist’s original body, along with shards of protagonist’s personality and his memory, so, basically, Jiri here may be the reversal accidental traveller, but I, probably, won’t develop further story on this subject, because I don’t feel that I want to do it. I also don’t want to go along with artifact / Legendary / some out-of-universe being as reason for an accidental travel, because I’ve read enough of this and I’m sick of it. I just want to put it the way “It’ve happened for no reason at all, probability of your return is infinetely close to zero or is zero” to prevent it from interfering with me developing the story the way I want to. Also, protagonist here enjoys butterfly (Gokigen na chou ni natte kirameku kaze ni notte... Wait, not this “Butterfly”) effect very much, but understands, that his knowledge of canonical events is becoming less and less useful with each change in the flow of events, which are going like the chain reaction.
By the way, two megacorps (General Industries and TungusTech), which produce anything, except for Pokemon-special products (that branch of market is occupied by Silph Co and Devon Corporation, which are collaborating with both TungusTech and General Industries by purchasing their products) here compete only on the world market, because if they start war against eachother, they will both fatally lose their nearly-monopolistic positions on regional markets and become very vulnerable for the newborn market competitors, which will be created and sponsored by criminal syndicates such as Team Rocket, Team Plasma and Team Galactic. No CEO wants to destroy his megacorp in such a way, so they are allies in military, especially, when it comes to operations against criminals. Also, excuse me for typo - TungusTech carrier is named “Scimitar”.
@mgrgfan let’s talk ships. So, we both seem to be in agreement that the Hikoukyuu is for the most part fully automated. Though how it would land…you do propose an interesting idea, but that would suggest either that all landing pads are specifically built for that one ship or that there are other nearly identical ship out there.
A week ago I’ve had a weirdest dream so far. This time, it wasn’t so random, so I can somewhat diverge between two plotlines of it - “Deus Ex” line and “Pokemon” line, altough there were some intersections. There is nothing really special about a Deus Ex line (aside from the part that Gunther likes to sleep in a thick socks, what I’ve learned from his computer and which I’ve found in his hightstand), but it left overall impression that it was somehow tied to the Pokemon world through conspiracies and stuff (which was confirmed later).
The real fun begins when we get to the Pokemon line. First of all, there was a moment, when some N/Cilan-like guy was introducing himself to the protagonists somewhere near the ruins with game-trailer like overall feel. The guy himself wasn’t interesting but the place, when he was doing it, was, because this ruins were actually Hikōkyū’s wreck! What is even more interesting, that control tower and main body were mostly left intact, but one of the rings was gone as were the antigravs (though theirs remnants might’ve just got buried under the ground - Flying Palace was lying almost on side).
The second best moment was like an a “fly-around” shot in the movies, but now camera was flying between the rings of an airship, which could be easily called “Hikōkyū 2”. Why 2? Because it had a different sets of a propellers, some of the horizontal-propulsion props were also installed on the rings (unlike original, where all of them were mounted only on a main body of the ship), vertical-propulsion props were installed on the very short spindles and some of the additional propellers were gathered in the tight clusters. During the camera’s passing, all of the props were working hard, so, it left an impression that the Lawrence III (of course) was going to do something special, although not necessary linked to the Legendaries or Pokemon altogether.
The final moment was me (as an Adam Jensen), someone other and a Pokemon Trainer (protagonist from this dream game) inside a huge room, which was pretty similar to the Flying Palace’s (first one) exhibition hall, although far smaller. My impression (and an Adam’s map) confirmed, that this room was, in fact, one of the “Hikōkyū 2” rooms, and it was on one of the lower floors/decks. Our small team started to move out in hope of meeting Lawrence III and asking him some questions (Adam - about Illuminati and such, Trainer - don’t know, but definitely not something like Misty asked - overall, it felt like he wanted to get a few tips from the Collector, third person - no data) and, at this very moment, I awoke.
