Future Proofing Applications: The Times-Shamrock Creative Services and Layout-8000 V16 Stories.
Times-Shamrock took a big step when it replaced system X, the popular application it had used for years for ad tracking. Its replacement is an innovative, low-cost, small computer solution from Software Consulting Services, LLC (SCS).
Times-Shamrock Creative Services (TSCS) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Times-Shamrock Communications (TSC) company. TSC is a diversified, family-owned media company located in Scranton PA. TSCS serves the ad building and pagination needs of the Times-Shamrock newspapers and 24 other independent publications across North America.
SCS helped TSCS reduce their ad tracking system and management costs by more than 50%. User reaction has been uniformly positive with everyone saying the new system, SCS/Track, was more capable and easier to use. The switch was accomplished without any loss of functionality.
How was this possible? SCS doesn't follow conventional computing wisdom. Its innovations in system engineering and support set it apart- so much so that customers of other systems can't wait to make the switch. Abandoning legacy systems isn't always easy, but nearly all those who do say that SCS's solutions are better than they had ever hoped for.
SCS accomplishes this by disappointing players who are behind the curve. It has a 35 year history of doing this. SCS disappointed server system vendors when it replaced Digital Equipment Corporation's (DEC) servers and operating systems (OS) with low-cost, Unix-based servers from Dell Computer starting in 1987. SCS then disappointed OS vendors SCO and Microsoft by adopting free and open source Linux as its preferred operating system in 1996.
So what does an innovative contrarian do when serving an industry facing tough economic challenges? SCS knows that cost savings are much more easily realized than revenue growth, especially for newspapers. It's a shame, but it's true.
This is the cost saving platform SCS installed at TSCS.
It is typical of current SCS solutions. There are five NUCs (what Intel calls its "Next Unit of Computing"). Primary, live stand-by secondary, live remote disaster recovery pair and a test server. All the software used is either free open source or SCS intellectual property. This includes both software tools and application code. There are no proprietary third-party operating systems, databases or virtualization systems.
SCS/Track was brought online at TSCS on Monday March 19, 2018. Training for all users began on the prior Thursday. There was no extensive parallel running. At mid-afternoon Tuesday there were over 180 active users distributed over 25 newspaper sites working on SCS/Track.
A single primary NUC server at TSCS supported all these users. An average 1.5 threads (out of four) were active. (Intel Core i5.) Memory use topped out at 3GB (out of 32GB available.) All the primary active storage is 4TB of SSDs in each NUC. Two 12TB Synology Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices are used for long-term archiving (with full text indexing and natural language querying). The multi-level storage is managed in a way invisible to users.
Using SSDs in very active servers is tricky. Heavy swapping or paging to SSD virtual memory can exceed the recommended maximum rewrites for SSDs. SCS disables swapping and paging to carefully manage dynamic memory usage. The good part is that SSDs are at least three times as fast as the fastest rotating hard disk drives, even those with local disk caches and RAID. This use of SSDs offers faster and more reliable storage.
At TSCS, new servers leased from SCS were delivered to replace the "X" system's servers. Glen Knarr showed SCS VP Kurt Jackson to the computer room.
"See, we've cleared a space for your racks of servers. When will they be delivered?" asked Glen.
"Glen", Kurt said, "We don't need anything like that much space. I have all five servers in this box. Another box holds the five uninterruptible power devices. A small table or shelf is all they'll need."
Glen realized immediately that SCS's approach to systems upends the supply chain, and that fact would save both SCS and TSCS money.
SCS leases its systems to customers.
The lease payments cover managed services. Customers take care of their desktops and mobile devices and SCS does all the rest, including all server hardware and system and application software.
Servers are actively monitored 24/7 with automated check-ins every 15 minutes. Mirroring on shared-nothing servers provides nearly bullet-proof backup. In the rare situation where a NUC fails (only one has of the nearly 100 SCS has installed in the last two years.), SCS has spare ones ready to ship at a moment's notice.
SCS seeks to keep what is paid to third parties as low as possible. The savings can be passed onto its customers. That's what happened at TSCS and for many other SCS customers. The savings can be quite large.
Intel NUCs are sold as bare-bones devices with a three year warranty. SCS adds whatever else is needed. With managed services, their maintenance, which is very little, is SCS's responsibility.
Would Intel prefer to sell big server systems? Of course. These are Intel's most profitable sale. NUCs are a volume market for them. Gamers, for example, love NUCs for their cheap and reliable computing power. Demand assures that NUCs are quickly updated with the newest Intel chips, fastest processors and built-in reliability necessary for a successful volume business. It is a perfect commodity market for Intel.
Special engineering is necessary to take advantage of the unique capabilities provided by NUCs. Fortunately, this involves no more than current best practices of software engineering. SCS builds systems both large and small out of components that are tightly integrated but loosely coupled. This recent software engineering paradigm is called a microservices architecture.
Systems can get bigger and more functional in a number of ways, not all of them good. Systems built on a single monolithic database (an advertising database, or ad base, if you will) stagnate due to the complexity of this approach.
A microservices architecture is composed of modules that operate as services acting on their own data and none other. Network compatible software is used to make an enterprise service bus (ESB or MESB). This is used to pass data securely among the independent service modules. This independence makes integrating services provided by third-parties much easier. Update one, either from SCS or others, and it still works properly with the others.
A microservice architecture is inherently more agile. SCS customers get more frequent updates (dozens to hundreds per year), which are nearly all included as part of SCS's managed services.
A system based on the microservice architecture (MA) is inherently modular since MA is a type of modularization. There are just additional rules for it. One can write applications that are well built using a modular style. However, to get the benefits of MA, one needs to build components using rules that make tight integration and loose coupling work better. Modules must function as independent services. They must own their own data. Sharing data among modules is done through an intermediary, the MESB, which allows sharing without one service knowing how another service does its job. A microservice module should be able to be replaced without changing other modules.
Layout-8000 version 16 is being released. Going from V15.x to V16 means there is a significant change in Layout's system architecture. Layout-8000 users will all get new functionality with the release. However, a lot of the changes in version 16 are under the skin.
StandbyAdBoss (SAB), which, prior to V16, was an optional, extra-cost add on, is now bundled with the distribution at no additional cost. The new SAB is particularly important since it is now configured as a microservice. Previously, it was internal to the Layout-8000 main code and accessed Layout's ad database, and its availability to a site was controlled by a switch. Now, all that functionality and complexity has been factored out. Room has been made for easily attaching additional microservices. Updating SAB now doesn't require updating Layout-8000 or vice versa.
What if you are already committed to a cloud or virtualized architecture?
Many of our customers already are. SCS's applications run in these contexts very easily. The modular and platform independent architecture used for all SCS's systems is just better with microservices.
In these times, few would argue that a monolithic approach is better. In fact, there are still some architectures used by newspaper vendors that one should be avoiding wherever possible.
Connecting remote desktops to mainframe-based applications via Citrix seems to be one of these. A Citrix server farm may consume as much computing resources (expense) as simply running the application by itself.
Would it not be cool if you could access SCS's applications remotely from within a browser?
…Especially if the speed seemed like that of a local connection? This is coming very soon. No other method of remote access provides such a level of convenience. PuTTY and other connecting software will be replaced.
SCS deploys its systems on a number of the cloud-based platforms its customers have. However, SCS's preference is for NUCs and the flexibility and cost savings they provide as local appliances.
NUCs and microservices have the power, low cost, and flexibility needed to provide timely, innovative solutions. This was the case at TSCS, where corporate-wide consolidation of ad building yielded significant savings.
Whether you're thinking of public cloud deployments (the cloud is just someone else's computer) or virtualized systems, check the expense and complexity of supporting them. SCS has found better solutions. Contact Phil (phil@newspapersystems.com or 610-746-7700) and let us prove it to you.

Biden Will Not Protect Your Three Inalienable Rights
Last update August 12, 2020Leave a Comment
If voters hand a Joe Biden win to Democrats don't look to the Supreme Court to protect your rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Your three inalienable rights are not in the Constitution. There is no guarantee anywhere that they won't disappear after the election. We do have every reason to fear that a feckless President Biden will be a dupe for Democratic Party extremists determined to re-imagine what life, liberty, and happiness mean. That's bad news for us. We'll get to keep our lives, but we can kiss liberty and happiness goodbye.
Less government lets you keep your three inalienable rights
America exists because we rejected too much government. Little has changed over the centuries. Unless you have nothing, more government doesn't mean more happiness. For the majority of hard working people lots of government just means paying for lots of expensive political problems that never get solved and lots of new programs we don't need and can't afford.
Donald Trump promised to make America great. Democrats rejected that idea out of hand. That should tell us something. Their leadership is content to offer the American people burning cities, working age people protesting in the middle of a workday, and children murdered in the street in hopes of using the loss of American life, property, and faith in our country to gain power.
This tells us more than enough about what a Biden win will mean for the country.
Here are your three inalienable rights.
Biden won't protect them*
Can Biden's 43 plans change the course of history?
A Biden win will "change the course of history,"1 or at least that's what he claims. "Joe's vision"2 includes 43 different plans for a country that was doing just fine before his party used a pandemic to shut down schools and the business sector in Democratic states to create a massive economic downturn before the election.
In the end this is all about the lives, the liberties, and the happiness of the American people. A Biden win will not protect any of these things because his platform is all about inflicting more government and all of its costs on the people.
Who really values your inalienable rights?
The best way for the government to protect life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is by interfering as little as possible. Less government means more freedom, less spending, and lower taxes, which added together bring more happiness. This should not surprise anyone. More bureaucracy only brings happiness if you are a Democrat selling big, intrusive government.
Those who back a Biden win aren't selling less bureaucracy or government interference this or any year. Not only is promoting dependence on fat, bloated government a hallmark of neo-American liberalism, the emphasis has shifted from the usual litany of federal handouts and social programs to the extremes of economic reorganization and outright socialism.
This year the Democratic Party has more opportunities than ever to push an agenda that will strip us of our rights to live our lives, make a good living, and be happy without Washington sticking its greedy paws into our affairs. If Democrats prevail your income will be moderated by the party. Our values will be dictated by special interests. Addressing climate change will be an excuse to invoke socialism and reorganize an economy that makes America the envy of the world.
Even your inalienable right to stay alive thanks to our health care system will be moderated by whatever costs the government the least for the most people. Your life will be subject to approval by politicians who still use the same false argument that sold unaffordable Obamacare to push a much more socialist approach:
The Medicare for All Act of 2019 would ensure that Americans could go to the doctor of their choice and get the care they need, when they need it, without going into debt.3
Sound familiar? The difference the second time around is that Medicare for All is forecast to cost over $30 trillion.4 That makes the $2.2 trillion hit our deficit will take this year because of pandemic relief passed to date little more than the cost of a Federal Government cup of coffee. 5
Don't fear a Biden win. Fear these people instead.
The people to fear are not the ones you see on your news feed roaming the streets in burning cities. Don't fear Joe Biden, either. He's just an aging, flaccid excuse for his party to take over our lives. Biden is just as useless and weak as he sounds on the rare occasions he emerges from his hidey hole to stumble over his facts.
A weak President Biden is exactly what the Democratic Party wants. This is the real reason we should fear a Biden win. He'll only be a figurehead. The best we can hope for is that Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer will call the shots and we won't suffer the whims of the extreme voices in the party.
We have even more to fear when we look at a few of Biden's short list picks for vice president. No wonder he is suffering a massive crisis of indecision.
A real Green Deal? Socialism will steal your money and with it your inalienable rights
Biden assures voters that the Green New Deal is a "crucial framework."6
That's an absolutely terrifying admission made worse by the 100 House Democrats and 13 Democratic Senators and Independent Bernie Sanders who cosponsor the green scheme for your money.
It's stunning to think that any American would attach their name to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Green New Deal or anyone who supports it. Biden VP hopeful Karen Bass cosponsored the resolution in the House. Kamala Harris did the same in the Senate. The estimated tab for this neo-socialist fantasy including health care runs as high as $93 trillion. That's a $65,000 bill for every household in the nation.7
Many Americans don't make that much money in a year, but how can we say no to saving the planet and embracing the socialist economic values that Democrats insist make us better people? We can't and we won't if Biden wins and gets the Democratic machinery behind the tax code. We will keep our lives subject to the constraints of government health care, but what constitutes liberty and happiness will be the terms of our economic surrender.
Is Biden unable to make up his mind or does he not want us to know who his running mate will be? No matter how far he kicks that can down the campaign trail his choice end in the same place. We know what we're getting with Bass and Harris. On Monday Illinois Senator Tammy Duckworth used COVID-19 to pander to climate activists as part of a divisive attack against Republicans who object to another sweeping pandemic juggernaut:
We stand in strong opposition to the [Republican] HEALS Act and will fight to ensure that the needs of environmental justice communities are centered in any future COVID-19 recovery package.
Earlier this year, members of the Senate Environmental Justice Caucus wrote to Senate Leadership requesting assistance in the fourth COVID-19 relief package for environmental justice communities to help reduce pollution, which impacts COVID-19-related health outcomes, as well as stimulate the economy.8
Nancy Pelosi likes to use the word "justice," too. It's a big seller these days. What we don't hear about is the justice in efforts to add every conceivable leftist special interest to the bill that will be issued to taxpayers if Biden and his party prevail.
Bad judgment call: why would Biden invite Rice to the ticket?
Susan Rice has been out of the public eye. Now she's back. This is where we left off three years ago with the Gaetz Amendment that inquired about:
The role of Mr. Comey and former National Security Adviser Ms. Susan Rice in "unmasking" people involved with then-candidate Donald Trump's campaign, and the subsequent widespread dissemination of that information to intelligence agencies.9
Rice also turned up in a May 4, 2020 letter to the FBI from Representatives Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Mike Johnson (R-LA) requesting documents relating to the investigation of Michael Flynn:
On January 20—the last day of the Obama Administration—Ambassador Rice sent an email to herself to memorialize this [January 5, 2017] meeting, writing that President Obama insisted that his team be "mindful" whether there would be "any reason that [it] cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia" with the incoming Trump team.10
After years of threatening Trump's impeachment, Biden should be smart enough to know what will happen if he chooses Rice for his running mate. No wonder he's keeping quiet.
So where does all this leave our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?
Like a Joe Biden presidency, your pursuit of happiness will be whatever serves the Democratic Party's quest for power. Living up to your values can bring happiness too and being an American is a value in itself. That will change as we cheapen and give away what generations have worked hard to secure and died to defend. Liberties we take for granted and don't even think about will vanish as they come under fire from party special interests who will always come first no matter how much their demands cost.
Life in America is a wonderful thing. For four years Democrats have told us that our country is a racist, sexist, climate-killing, abusive, xenophobic, anti-immigrant, fundamentally unfair, anti-Democratic, authoritarian hellhole.
They even cast Make America Great Again as a slur against our country. That should tell you all you need to know about where President Joe Biden will take us and what that means for your inalienable rights.
UPDATE August 7, 2020: nothing from Bass, Harris, or CBC on Biden diversity remark?
Well, Joe Biden finally showed his face yesterday. He emerged from wherever he is hiding from Trump and lost no time stumbling over a pretty simple question about Cuba. His answer had a lot more to do with the Democratic Party's choice for president
than our relations with the beleaguered island state.
The word "diversity" is pretty important to Democrats. In fact, it's a favorite because it's one of the preludes to hanging the "systemic racism" label on America.
Perhaps Biden's handlers didn't explain what diversity means and why it is so important to the party to get it right, or god forbid maybe he escaped from his hiding place and no one noticed.
It doesn't matter now. That horse is out of the barn.
It's lucky for Biden Democrats can forgive just about anything when it comes to one of their own, especially when it means removing Trump from office. We haven't heard any outrage yet. A quick visit to Karen Bass and Kamala Harris' congressional websites don't show any outraged press releases like we would expect if Trump said something equally foolish, uninformed, and insensitive (and to be fair, he does from time to time). House Democrats are quiet. The Congressional Black Caucus, which Bass chairs, talked about the 1965 Voting Rights Act yesterday. There was no mention of Biden.
There is a reason for this. The only thing Democrats are interested in is getting Trump out of office. They would run a chimpanzee in a suit if they thought voters would vote fall for it and frankly, given the hatred they have stirred up I have no doubt that monkey would bring in the liberal vote.
Once he is in office Biden can go back to sleep. It's safer for the party than letting him out in public. Then Harris, Bass, Rice, or whoever finally gets the nod can sit down with Pelosi and Schumer and go about the business of showing you what your three inalienable rights are worth.
Sweet Dreams, Joe.
Wake up, America.
UPDATE: August 12, 2020: Harris it is. Can her masks in the mail bill protect our lives?
Yesterday's surprise was no surprise. Politicians have an amazing ability to forgive and forget when it benefits them. Biden is no exception. Bad behavior during the debates is forgiven. Kamala Harris is on the ticket.
While Americans wait for Congress to do something to help other than blame Trump for making an effort, Harris knows the issues we need to tackle: new legislation for environmental justice and climate change disinformation, health care for illegal immigrants and help for their children at the border, temporary protected status for Venezuelans, diversity in Congressional oversight, school infrastructure spending while her party's union interests back school closures, and free phone calls and video conferencing for prison inmates.
She also joined fellow Democrats who demand that Trump stop interfering in Portland and other cities. Anyone paying attention knows how well that is working out. Destruction might be good for Democrats who think they can hang the blame on Trump, but it's not good for the people stuck living in our new urban war zones. Riots seriously interfere with the pursuit of happiness and in some cases, life itself.
Fortunately, there is also time for the basics. The senator teamed with Bernie Sanders on a $5 billion bill to distribute face masks to everyone in the U.S. through the postal service.
When you have so much to do it's hard to keep track. The same day she backed Sanders' masks through the post office bill, Harris sent a letter to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy demanding to know:
Recent news articles report that you are seeking to make major operational changes that will delay the mail and potentially leave it less secure. I am writing you seeking information on how operational changes reportedly being imposed by you will affect the ability of Americans to rely on the Postal Service to vote by mail in the upcoming elections," Harris writes.12
We get it. This is politics. When the media barks with its version of the truth, politicians jump.
Besides, relying on the Post Office to send out coronavirus masks is one thing. The Democratic vote is quite another.
Author's note: in the interest of fairness perhaps we should give Rep. Bass a pass on this one. If I was her, I wouldn't want to risk bringing back that uncomfortable remark about Castro, either.

Easy King Cake Recipe Cinnamon Rolls will be the easiest yeast rolls you will ever make. That's because they are made with frozen bread dough.
What Mardi Gras celebration would be complete without a king cake? Maybe you will get the baby inside. The baby symbolizes luck and prosperity to whoever finds it. And you are responsible for providing the king cake next year. Want to be the "king" for the evening? Start with Easy King Cake Recipe Cinnamon Rolls. Double your luck by serving this as the final course to my Lucky Vegetable Beef Soup.
Easy King Cake Recipe Cinnamon Rolls will be the easiest yeast rolls you will ever make. That's because they are made with frozen bread dough. NOTE: There is thawing time and 1 hour of raising time not included in the time given.
Roll out the thawed dough on a floured surface to 8 x 20.
Brush the melted butter over the entire surface, leaving 1/2 inch edge around parameter not buttered.
Mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, pecans and salt together and sprinkle evenly over the entire surface.
Lay the plastic baby where you wish.
When the entire log is rolled, have your cooking sprayed baking sheet nearby.
Drag one end of the log onto the baking sheet, and then drag the other end.
Make a circle out of the log, ensuring the seam is down.
Make 15 equal cuts along the log but not cutting all the way through (leave the center connected by about an inch or two.
To raise the rolls, preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
Place the rolls in the oven and turn it off.
Let the rolls raise in the warm oven for an hour until they have doubled in size.
After the rolls have raised and doubled, remove them from the oven, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and bake for 25 minutes until they are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and prepare the icing while cooling.
If you wish to transfer to a cake plate or serving platter, with another person, use several spatulas to transfer.
Icing the rolls that have cooled at least 10 minutes.
Sprinkle the colored sugars over the icing.


While Del Oro has been winning league championships for 50 years, Bakersfield's storied program dates to the 1890s. The Drillers won six state championships in the 1920s, and their 36 Central Section titles are a state record.
Followers of the CIF Bowl scene know Del Oro, too. The Golden Eagles will be the first Sacramento-area team to play in two bowl games. Two starters from Del Oro's 2011 team that lost to Helix of San Diego County in the Division II game, two-way lineman Tanner Woods and tight end-linebacker Tyler Meteer, now lead the Golden Eagles.
Bakersfield is making its first CIF Bowl appearance, and the significance isn't lost on the players.
"Never in our wildest dreams did we think we would be here," Drillers quarterback Asauni Rufus said. "I mean, sure, it was a goal, but I don't know if we believed it until it was here.
Both teams enter the game with momentum: Bakersfield (12-2) has won 10 consecutive games, and Del Oro (13-2) has a 12-game winning streak.
Del Oro continues the region's annual appearance in state bowl games. Grant beat Long Beach Poly in the 2008 Open game. The following year, Rocklin lost on a late field goal to Servite of Anaheim in theDivision II game. In 2010, Folsom beat Serra of Gardena in D-II, and Del Oro lost in 2011 in D-II. Last season, Granite Bay had a late comeback to beat Long Beach Poly in D-I.
Bakersfield has a state-record 748 football wins, but Del Oro isn't intimidated.

Startup creates 'artificial blood' and receives funding from the Pentagon
Post by
Solution is tested to give an organ donated for transplant longer survival and to help victims of accidents
Founded by Brazilian investor Luis Claudio Garcia de Souza (formerly with Pactual and Rio Bravo), biotechnology startup VirTech developed a hemoglobin-based solution with blood-like oxygen carrying capacity that caught the attention of the Pentagon, the US Department of Defense. This division of the US government made a contribution of US$ 13 million that is now driving toward the clinical research phase of the project. The objective is to use the product to prevent hemorrhagic shock in trauma patients and to give better survival to organs donated for transplantation.
The Pentagon was interested in the possibility of the solution preventing hemorrhagic shock, a problem that affects military personnel in combat or civilians who suffer trauma, such as automobile accidents. In these cases, hemorrhagic shock is usually the main cause of death, as there is often no time for a transfusion. Research carried out so far shows that the solution, injected into the body as a temporary blood substitute, considerably increases the time available for the victim to arrive at a hospital for transfusion.
The fundraising with the Pentagon, which has already allocated US$ 4 million in the last two years and will apply the rest over the course of the project, was done with the help of Dallas Hack, an American military doctor who was in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and, after retiring from the military in 2015, decided to dedicate himself to biotechnology research.
Hack says that he witnessed, during the fighting, "incredible traumas that I had never seen in
medical school or in training – we lost a lot of people due to a lack of appropriate .technology. We haven't done much to improve trauma care since the Vietnam War. That's a sad thing in the US medical research system, which uses money for research into chronic diseases, but not trauma," Hack said. "For the Pentagon, this project is priority number 1", added the military doctor, who was in São Paulo last week, visiting PUC-Campinas and Unifesp for possible partnerships in clinical studies. He was also in Argentina.
Research has also shown that the solution – called OxyBridge – allows donated human organs for transplantation to have a longer survival time. It is believed that this time can double. Today, ice is used to keep the organ in good condition for surgery, but only for nine hours on average, and many organs intended for transplant are lost. This is a worldwide reality.

The idea of this project came from a personal experience of Souza. His wife died in 2012 after difficulties with a liver transplant. "My wife had hepatitis C. We had a successful transplant in the US, but the hepatitis virus was not eliminated and after a while another surgery was needed. We were in São Paulo, during the Christmas period, and we could not find a compatible organ", said Souza. The investor started to study the subject and made donations to the University of Pittsburgh, a center of excellence for organ transplants in the world. There, he met the Brazilian doctor Paulo Fontes, who was researching a solution loaded with oxygen that resembles blood. Thus, VirTech, now based in Boston, was born.
Afterwards, Souza invested in other biotechnology projects and created a holding company, Securitas, which today has seven "healthtechs", three of which are headquartered in the US and four in Argentina. "Despite the crisis, Argentina is a center of medical excellence. From there have come three Nobel Prize winners. It is also a way of encouraging research in Latin America," said Souza, who prefers to be identified as a "company builder" rather than an investor, because he starts his business from scratch. In the financial area, he participated in the creation of several institutions such as Pactual, Rio Bravo, RB Capital, Capitalys and Credihome.
In the early days of those first ten years, the investment in the startup came from Souza's own resources. In total, the holding company, Securitas, has now received US$ 21 million, including the US$ 13 million awarded by the Pentagon to VirTech. In the area of bioscience, it is common for individual investors to put money into projects with certain scientists over long periods, as happened with Souza and the Brazilian Paulo Fontes. When the research enters the clinical testing phase, the venture funds make their contributions. One of the best-known "venture builders" is Flagship Pioneering, which many years ago invested in the development of the messenger RNA platform of the pharmaceutical company Moderna, a molecule currently used in the vaccine against covid-19.
The expectation is that the solution used for transplants will be on the market between 2023 and 2024, according to Matias Vidal, president of Securitas. The application in cases of hemorrhagic shock requires a few more years of clinical research in humans. This work must be carried out in hospitals, whether in the US or Argentina, that are pre-accredited by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

More in U.S. Say Shutdown Is About Politics Than Principle
Attitudes similar to those in November 1995
PRINCETON, NJ -- Americans are more likely to believe the current budget debate between President Barack Obama and the Republicans in Congress is an attempt by both sides to gain political advantage (47%) than an important battle over principles and the future direction of government (37%). These views are similar to Americans' attitudes on the day the government shut down in November 1995 as a result of that year's political impasse when 52% said the budget debate was political, while 37% said it was based on disagreement about principles.
One difference between the two shutdown situations: Americans are slightly more likely now to say they have no opinion in response to this question than they were in 1995. This difference may be the result of Gallup asking the question in 1995 on the day that the shutdown began, while the current survey was conducted Sept. 27-28, several days before the Oct. 1 shutdown deadline.
Republicans tilt in the direction of seeing the current debate as an important battle over principles, while Democrats are more likely to adopt the more cynical view that the debate is politically motivated. Independents are more likely than either of the other groups to see the debate as political. Still, the differences between Republicans' and Democrats' views on this situation are not as large as they are in reference to most political issues.
In the 1995 survey, all three political groups were more likely to say the debate was politically motivated rather than based on principle, although Democrats in that survey were the least likely to tilt in that direction. Thus, in 1995 and now, Democrats have been somewhat more likely to see politics at work in the shutdown negotiations than Republicans.
Americans Give Obama Slight Edge as Acting More Responsibly
In the current situation, Americans are slightly more likely to say that President Obama is acting responsibly in regards to the current budget conflict than to say that about the Republican leaders in Congress, by 40% to 35%. Throughout the 1995 government shutdown, Americans also tended to give more credit to the president for acting responsibly than to the Republican leaders in Congress, by margins of between one and 14 percentage points from mid-December 1995 through February 1996.
About three-quarters of Republicans say the Republicans in Congress are acting most responsibly, while about three-quarters of Democrats say President Obama is acting more responsibly. This pattern of partisan loyalty is typical in Americans' responses to questions that focus on choices between two partisan entities. Less than 10% of both political groups deviate from this partisan loyalty and say the "other" political actor is handling the situation more responsibly. Independents are basically split in their choice, but they are slightly more likely to say that they don't have an opinion on who is acting more responsibly.
While both the president and Republican leaders in Congress would no doubt say they are basing their positions and actions regarding the budget showdown on conviction and principle, Americans tends to disagree. The public tilts toward the view that the debate is mainly focused on an attempt by both sides to reap political gain. Although there are differences between the existing shutdown situation and the last government shutdown in late 1995 and early 1996, Americans' current attitudes about the motivation of the key players in the dispute are similar to what they were in the past.
The ultimate effect of the 1995/1996 government shutdown on the country and the key players involved is difficult to pinpoint precisely. However, there is no question that President Clinton's job approval ratings were generally above the 50% mark after the shutdown in 1996 and he cruised to a re-election victory over his Republican opponent in the fall of that year. It is too early to say what the effect of the current potential shutdown might be on the political fortunes of either Obama or the two major parties. At this point, the public tends to be slightly more likely to give Obama credit for acting responsibly than the Republican leaders in Congress, just as they gave President Clinton slightly more credit 18 years ago during the shutdown.
Results for this Gallup poll are based on telephone interviews conducted Sept. 27-28, 2013, on the Gallup Daily tracking survey, with a random sample of 1,024 adults, aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.
Interviews are conducted with respondents on landline telephones and cellular phones, with interviews conducted in Spanish for respondents who are primarily Spanish-speaking. Each sample of national adults includes a minimum quota of 50% cellphone respondents and 50% landline respondents, with additional minimum quotas by time zone within region. Landline and cellular telephone numbers are selected using random-digit-dial methods. Landline respondents are chosen at random within each household on the basis of which member had the most recent birthday.
USA All Gallup Headlines Government Political Parties Politics US Government Shutdown Northern America
In U.S., Political Trust in "American People" at New Low
Americans' trust in "the American people" to make judgments about political issues facing the country has fallen to a new low of 61%. Still, that exceeds their 46% trust in the men and women holding or running for political office.
Americans' Trust in Government Generally Down This Year
Americans' trust in the executive and judicial branches of the federal government, and in state and local governments, is down after increasing in 2012. Trust in the legislative branch, by far the lowest of the three, is unchanged.
Tea Party Support Dwindles to Near-Record Low
Twenty-two percent of U.S. adult describe themselves as supporters of the Tea Party movement. This is down 10 points from the height of the Tea Party movement in 2010, and roughly matches the record low 21% found in late 2011.
Can Biden Thread the Needle on Government?
Joe Biden has an extraordinary 44 years of service as an elected federal official; how he defines it will help determine his campaign's success.

The Word of God created the world, and is the first physical manifestation of God that we can understand. The Word of God also spoke with Adam in the garden of Eden, to Moses out of a burning bush, to John the Baptist when the Holy Spirit descended on Jesus, and to the apostle Paul as a great shining light. The Word of God is both the promise of God and the manifestation of God.
Jesus said that he came from God, and would go back to God (John 13:3). The meaning of this is revealed in the book of Acts, when the Pillar of Fire says: "I am Jesus" (Acts 9:3-6). Jesus was the Word that had come from God, and descended into Adam's race to become the Son of God and Son of Man. After his resurrection, Jesus returned to Heaven, to the glory that he had with the Father before the world was.
Exodus 3:2 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him [Moses] in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
Acts 2:2-3 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
Revelation 1:12-13 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
In the Old Testament, the Word of the Lord was the promise of God received either directly from God (in the case of Abraham, Moses, Elisha, and the Prophets), or through the prophets (as in the case of the majority of the children of Israel). In essence, the whole Bible is the word of the LORD.
Micah 4:1-2 But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
Matthew 5:2-10 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 12:18-19 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles. He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
Matthew 17:5-8 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
Mark 2:2 door: and he preached the word unto them.
Luke 8:11-15 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
John 10:35-36 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
Acts 16:31-32 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
Romans 10:7-9 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
I CORINTHIANS 14:36-37 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
I TIMOTHY 4:4-5 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
HEBREWS 13:7-8 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
JAMES 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
PETER 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
PETER 2:7-8 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
I JOHN 2:7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.
I JOHN 2:14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
EVELATION 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
REVELATION 19:11-13 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

"Shadow analogies irk me. Always go right over my head." Rol sighed following Jex and by extension Corvo.
He'd absorb the occasional bit of information, but remained mostly silent, while obviously annoyed. In all honesty he had nothing against Corvo or his goal, in fact 'freedom fighter and saving friends' was something completely up Rol's alley. What he didn't like was the method. Extortion wasn't the most vile of crimes by any means, and Rol was sure he'd partaken in the action himself but it still didn't sit well with him. More than likely it was just the bounty hunter being a child. But he certainly enjoyed being a child.

"Lady Golden Hands is scary and dangerous. But at least she doesn't shoot her crew for shits and giggles. There's a good reason they call Alvern 'the Bastard'. He's probably the worst boss you can have. I only saw him once despite working for the Syndicate for over 8 years. He looks like a douchebag, ugly mudfucker too." The elf lady commented.
"Says the guy with the shadow powers." She responded to Rol.
She followed the others inside. She took out her comb again to get her wet hair out of her face. "Bah, rain. I hate it."
The elf that Corvo sent to investigate the shadow returned quickly. "King. I found nothing. Whatever it was it left no traces." She looked slightly unnerved. "It might have been the Night Wraith." She said.
The other elf lady, who was petting fluffy, frowned. "Isn't that just an urban legend?"

"Exactly, shadow analogies make zero sense to me, you know what's in the shadows? Me, I'm literally in the shadows what are these dweebs talking about."
Rol ranted to the elf lady. Wait two elf ladies? Ugh. "Elf ladies give me names so my narrative isn't confusing."
Jex Cahill on Sat Mar 05, 2016 1:50 am
Corvo shook his head at his ally. He turned away and continued into the dusty room, similar to the one he'd been in before he came to Jex and friends' help. Snapping his fingers, a single light illuminated. It dangled in the middle of the room over a large, circular table. 10 wooden seats surrounded the table. He sat himself at the one furthest from the door.
"He or she or whatever that thing is is the least of out concern. She shows in the dead of night. There's no reason for her to be hitting us."
Jex moved forward and grabbed a seat as Corvo propped his feet on the table, gesturing the crew to sit.
"Come, sit. I hope you like fish."
Corvo turned to the masked man and the elf that was with Jex.
"And you two? Names?"

"Point taken." She replied to Rol's shadow comment.
When Rol asked for names she raised an eyebrow. "Names? Like what any random ones? Okay, I hereby dub thee 'shadowkid, tamer of manticore'." An awkward pauze followed.
"What? You told us to give you names. I gave you them." She shrugged.
"Not funny? Oh well.." She sighed. "Well, I have no idea what her name is but she looks like a Sarah."
The other elf lady glared. "No, that's a human name not an elven one. My name is Sarrinae."
"Isn't that the high elven version of Sarah?" She laughed.
"No.. it's not." Sarrinae kept glaring at her.
"Eh, it's close enough." She stopped teasing the other elf as soon as she heard "fish". And went over to the table.
"OOOH food."
She looked up at Corvo's question. "Oh right, almost forgot to mention my name. It's Nixae but I prefer Nix." Nix grinned cheerfully.
"Enjoy the meal Snowflake." Sarrinae snarked at her. (Nix is the High elven (and latin) word for snow.)
"Thanks! You too, Sarah!"
The two women smirked at each other. They both seemed to be enjoying themselves, oddly enough.
Roltharus on Sat Mar 05, 2016 3:34 am
"Am I supposed to like her because similarities? Or am supposed to feel threatened by my role being taken? These are the questions that haunt me."
Rol sighed at the elven's exchange than looked to answer Corvo. "Rol or goth kenny? I don't remember which one i'm supposed to use"
"Goth sounds a little too heavy for me."
Corvo laughed as the rest of his crew followed inside. They all took seats around the table and Corvo gestured his guests to come sit. He knocked on the wooden table in a short beat and a door opened on the far side of the room. A Elven woman dressed in similar clothing to Corvo started serving them. A plate of steaming fish, bread, and a piece of fruit. Nothing too fancy but it sufficed.
"I didn't expect to be back with guests today, Ma Petit Cheri."
The Elven woman shook her head and whispered something in Corvo's ear.
"Perfect. Eat up, kids. The game plan is pretty simple."
Jex took a seat and looked at the food. It looked pretty clean to him. Untampered, unpoisoned. He took the bread and started eating. Corvo on the other hand, started cleaning his plate. The rugged man started talking, while eating.
"My lady here has just told me that we've got a couple IDs coming in by tomorrow thanks to a few generous benefactors. Until then, all we have to do is sit tight and wait it out. There's two ways to go about this - the quiet way and the loud way."
Corvo pasued then looked at Jex, Rol, then Nix. He smiled.
"The quiet way-"
"We're going loud."
Corvo frowned and looked at Jex. Confused, for a second, then composed himself. Jex was far too aware of how quiet missions worked out between himself and Roltharus.
"Alright then. Well then that makes things a little easier. All we have to do is walk right in, blow shit up, and escape through the tunnels."
Corvo scanned the group once more and shook his head.
"But you guys stand out like sore thumbs. I mean Goth kid here is wearing all black like he just killed his uncle with a utility mana saber and Magic boy is wearing shitty white, blue trimmed, dirty high mage bullshit."
Jex looked down at his tattered clothes and nodded. He definitely didn't match the occasion and looked up at Corvo.
"We have clothes for you, and dear God I hope they fit. Objections?"
Rol let Jex do the talking, it sounded like business and important so it would be best for the bounty hunter so sit that one out. He did speak up at the mention of changing clothes.
"I'm gonna at least need a hood."
Kiro Cloudwatcher on Sat Mar 05, 2016 9:34 pm
(Kylo Rol. XD)
Nix ignored everything and focused on the fish in front of her. It might not have been much for some people but for her it was the best thing she'd eaten all month.
Once she finished her plate her mind wandered off to a different place. The smile on her face faded and her eyes stared into nothing.
The smell of the fish caused Fluffy's stomach to rumble, he whined.
(Almost time for a time skip to next morning?)
Jex Cahill on Sun Mar 06, 2016 3:30 am
Corvo smiled and nodded, finishing his meal. Jex had just finished as Corvo finished talking.
"Follow me, then."
Corvo pushed his chair away from the table and started walking off into the shadow. Jex stood up, trying to wipe his hands off on his garments and followed. Corvo opened a door to a corridor with closed doors opposing each other. He walked down the hallway and stopped at the last 2 doors.
"You guys can stay here. These last two rooms are vacant so you'll have to share."
Jex nodded and thanked Corvo for the hospitality. He walked into the room and found a simple bed with a side table. The only part that really stood out to him was the huge mirror that almost reached from the floor to the roof which rose about 8 feet up. Jex sat down on the bed, feeling comfort for the first time in a while. He removed his robe and fell on the bed. He didn't realize he was this tired as his eyes slowly closed.
"It'll be a long day tomorrow."
He said as Jex laid down on the bed. He looked to his other companions and nodded them off, leaving them in peace.
"Sleep tight. Your clothes will be ready when you wake up tomorrow."
He walked off and away, back through the door he came through. His crew met him, still seating around the table. They all looked at him questionably and there was only silence in the room until Sarrinae spoke.
"What the hell are you doing?"
Corvo grunted and started walking to the other side of the room.
"Why are you bringing strangers into this!?"
"Because we need all the help we can get."
Corvo stopped and turned to face his crewmates.
"This city will be ours and with them indebted to us, we can fight. If the factions realize that we can take down a prison and help our men escape, they'll finally learn to treat as us equals, if not more."
"We don't need their help, Corvo!"
The elf lady reached to grab him by the arm and Corvo slapped her hand away, turning to face away from them once again. The Orc grunted as Corvo walked through a door on the other side of the room.
"Fuck. King my ass. How does he expect to rule the world if he can't even get his friends out of prison himself."
Sarrinae could feel a tear form in her eye. She'd known Corvo since their group began but this was the first time he'd ever asked for help from anyone, especially a group of strangers. The Orc approached her.
"You must be patient with him, Sarrinae. Kings become tired-"
"King. Rex de Nihil more like it."
The woman stormed off before anyone could object, towards one of the rooms nearby Rol and Jex.
Corvo stood at the other side of the door. He had his ear pressed against the wood, eyes closed, trying his best to listen. He heard the other door slam shut and he pushed his head away. He looked down and started walking down this corridor. A single door was in his way. He pushed it open and a King sized bed laid in the middle of the room. It was much larger than the previous ones but besides the increased sizes of the room itself and the furniture, it was simple. Corvo took his boots off and fell on top of his bed, allowing his muscles to relax. He shuffled around and placed his deck of cards on the bedside table. There was much work to do tomorrow.
Roltharus on Sun Mar 06, 2016 5:14 am
Rol found himself a nice little spot on the floor in the room Jex was not in and sat down. He had bread from the food served earlier but wasn't hungry. "Why do I have a baguette?"
He decided maybe Fluffy wanted it.
Kiro Cloudwatcher on Sun Mar 06, 2016 10:34 pm
Fluffy indeed wanted it. It wasn't fish but food was food. He purred happily while eating it.
Nix got the room next to Rol and Jex. She closed the door and let out a deep sigh. "It's okay Nix. You're still alive." She whispered to herself.
Another voice in her head responded with a question. "But why?"
"Stop that! You know why." She told the voice in her head, her own voice. She walked over to the bed and let herself fall down on it. She closed her eyes and let her mind drift off.
Up on a nearby roof Riaden washed his face with some rainwater he had collected. He had almost been caught by that elf. "I'm getting rusty." He put his red scarf back in front of his mouth and started moving. This was the perfect time to scout out the city. He just needed to be back here when Jex and Rol woke up in the morning. In a flash he was gone.
A few hours later:
"Marus!" Nix gasped, abruptly woken up from a nightmare. She wiped her sweat off her forehead and tried to calm her breathing. It was still dark and the faint sound of someone snoring nearby told her it wasn't morning yet. But she knew she wouldn't be sleeping again tonight.
Three hours later when someone came to wake her up they found her already out of bed and combing her hair back into shape. The bags under her eyes betrayed her lack of sleep. "Please tell me there is some form of breakfast available." If sleep wasn't an option she was gonna need another source of energy.
Fluffy had a much better night's rest. But that didn't mean he didn't struggle with waking up. The manticore couldn't stop yawning.
Jex Cahill on Mon Mar 07, 2016 3:28 am
Jex opened his eyes slowly. This was the best sleep he'd had in a while. He felt comfortable around this group for some reason. He didn't want to delve to deep into this at the moment. Perhaps it was for their strange hospitality, their leader's charisma, or something in the food. He sat up and stretched, he could feel his joints pop and his muscle loosening. He felt amazing. He looked around and turned to the dressed beside him. An outfit was set out for him. He inspected them.
Jex looked at himself with the mirror and looked down. The black pants that hugged him was a perfect fit, held in place by a brown leather belt. A white button up sat on his torso, and on top of that was a black and blue robe. A large strap wrapped around the middle of his torso, a huge, curved, silver buckle keeping it in place. A hood hung behind his head, rather large for his head. A blue design on the right side of his chest, a simple, curvy, Elven pattern that exploded from a flower-like pattern on his respective shoulder.
Jex held the Staff of Wisdom in his right hand. It glowed a soft blue hue. He turned when he heard the call from outside to come for breakfast. He went out of his room and knocked on the door opposing his, calling for Rol. He walked down the hallway and found himself once again in the dining room where Corvo and his crew were already halfway through their breakfast. Corvo smiled at him, gesturing him to come eat.
"Good morning."
He greeted them, sat down, and joined in the feast.
Roltharus on Tue Mar 08, 2016 2:20 am
shit this narrative is getting fancy, i can't keep up. After hearing someone (probably Jex) knock, Rol woke up and quickly sat up. He was in an unfamiliar setting, he quickly recalled the happenings of the passed day and relaxed again. Next to him were the new clothes that Corvo had said they needed to blend in. "Great, wardrobe change my favourite."
Description of clothes here since i lack the knowhow and whatwith that they should look like.
The bounty hunter groggily put on his clothes and wandered out the door quietly, seeing Jex down the hall going into a room, he followed.
Kiro Cloudwatcher on Tue Mar 08, 2016 3:38 am
(It's okay to not know what the clothes should look like Rol. I don't know either. XD Actually I have been working on clothing styles for the different regions but there are just so fucking many! An entire continent ffs. But just as a visual aid think Ancient roman+Steampunkish. At least for this city.)
Nix quietly ate her breakfast. The abundance of energy she seemed to have yesterday was completely gone. Once she finished her meal she sat and stared at the now empty plate in front of her.
Riaden had already returned and waited for the crew to start moving. His nightly scouting had given him a decent understanding of the city's layout. He had unlocked several fast travel points.
The rising sun however made it much harder to hide in the shadows. He would have to find another way to remain unseen. Luckily the harbor workers were up bright and early and already moving about. The streets were full of life and dirt, mostly dirt though. The assassin could hide in those crowds.
Nix put her face in between her hands while waiting for breakfast to be over. The food was slowly restoring her energy but she still felt terrible. The sooner they got going to the prison the sooner she would be able to distract herself.
Fluffy was much happier. Some of the crew had given him some meat to eat.
Jex Cahill on Wed Mar 09, 2016 4:41 am
Jex ate and scanned the group. Corvo seemed to be deep in thought, staring at a card on the table. Sarrinae seemed a little cold today and didn't seem too interested in talk to anyone. Nix looked a little out of it than before and didn't rejoice as much as last night when there was food given to her. Before he could say anything, Corvo looked up.
"Alright, team. Come over."
Corvo held out his hand and allowed magic to flow through his hand and onto the card. A rune lit up and a projection of the prison showed itself. It looked like it was 3 floors tall with the cells all in the bottom floor and Jex assumed it was the basement. Corvo smiled and started:
"This is where you two -" He pointed to Jex and Rol "- will go through. Right in the open. Ask for Arun and they will lead you to the visiting room."
He traced to where the visiting room was and smiled.
"My crew and I... Well, they know us. And there's no way we can blend in like you two no names."
He laughed and pulled out a blank card.
"This is how we're getting in. I'm going to leave a rune on this card. When you get into the service room, give it to Arun and he will activate it, sending us in. And then we get our game faces on. Deal?"
The elf woman who served them the food handed Corvo two passes.
"Here. You'll need this to get to the East end. Just present it to the guard, don't act suspicious."
Corvo looked at Jex and then Rol.
"Any questions?"
Jex looked at him and grabbed one of the passes from Corvo. He nodded. He had a couple doubts in his mind but Corvo seemed to know what he was doing. He stared at the map, trying to remember every single detail he could, taking special note on the service hatch and the sewer entrance.
"And how can we trust you'll show up?"
Jex looked up, one final note of distrust coming out. Corvo locked eyes with him and smiled.
"You don't. But I always win with all my pawns standing."
Kiro Cloudwatcher on Wed Mar 09, 2016 5:22 am
"So uh, what about me?" Nix asked. Her part in the plan not having been mentioned. "Do I just stay here with you guys and wait or go with these two? The guards might recognize me but it's been fifteen years since I was last in there so maybe not?"
Fluffy tilted his head wondering what was even happening.
Riaden watched the building quietly from the shadows. Waiting for anyone to come out of it. He couldn't see inside so he had no idea what was going on. He briefly entertained the thought of just leaving. But Jex still had the staff.. hopefully. And he still had a mission to stop whatever that Avena woman was planning. And he stil followed his old assassins honor code of never abandoning a mission. Which meant he had to protect the staff at all costs. Which meant waiting for those two numbskulls to show up and make sure they don't get horribly murdered.
He regretted ever taking this mission. He had never stopped regretting it but his current situation reminded him of that fact. "I should have quit when I had the chance." He muttered under his breath.
Roltharus on Wed Mar 09, 2016 10:14 pm
"I have a question, why do they just let no names walk into a prison all willy nilly?" Rol asked, eating an orange. "Or is the prison that disorganized? They'll just take our word for it that we know this Arun fellow? They don't have an actual visitors list?"
The bounty hunter looked closer at the map. Orange juice falling on the sides, hitting empty white space. "Do we leave our weapons? Will they search us? Do they do anal cavity searches? Because if they do I'm out champ. Plenty o questions."
Kiro Cloudwatcher on Wed Mar 09, 2016 10:51 pm
"I don't know about a visitors list but searching of non-convicts, anal or otherwise, is illegal in this city. You can thank the corrupt fuckers in the government for that. Officialy it's because it's considered an invasion of privacy but everyone knows it's actually to make drug smuggling easier."
Nix answered Rol's second question.
"Unfortunatly, once you become a convict all of those privacy rights fly right out the window." She anxiousy rubbed her arm up and down. The mere mention of cavity searches made her feel uncomfortable. Her prison memories were popping back up into her mind, she tried to push them away.
"I have no idea what their Manticore policy is though." She looked at Fluffy. Fluffy looked back at her, still confused.
"Oh don't worry."
Corvo smiled and pushed the pass onto Rol.
"Arun's a special kind of person, they won't care. Nix, you'll stay with us. They'll know who you are. They know everyone in this city."
Corvo's features faded to a serious facade. He handed Jex the card and Jex shoved it into a pocket.
"As per your weapons, just keep them as hidden as you can. Jex, you'll have to pretend that's a walking stick if you're taking it in or you'll have to leave it here until we're transported."
Jex kept a tight grip on Danielle and nodded.
"I'll keep the walking stick."
Corvo smiled and walked towards the door.
"Shall you?"
Jex walked out and took a grip to his staff, then glanced back at the open door. He walked out the card alley they'd come through and took a look around, inspecting the city in the morning light.
"They know everyone? You mean they actually became somewhat competent in the last ten years? Huh." Nix was surprised but shrugged it off. "But that does make sense." She nodded in agreement.
As Jex squeezed the staff Danielle let out a cry in his mind. "Oww! Don't squeeze so hard." Jex could feel that she was joking. "Sorry, I was bored. That didn't actually hurt. I can't feel anything. At least not physically. I think?" She laughed.
"Maybe we should experiment with that. It'd be good data to have. Try rubbing me."
This time she seemed fully serious and curious.
It took her a while to realize how her words sounded. "Oh..No, not like that! I just meant .. to see if I could sense physical contact through the.. Oh no, I'm just making it worse." She sighed and hung her head, mentally. "Just forget everything I just said. Please?"
None of this was of course seen or heard by anyone but Jex. Luckily.
Fluffy followed Rol and Jex as they went outside.
As they left the building they were almost run over by two orcs running through while carrying a large wooden chest. The orcs seemed to be heading to the harbor.
The rain from the previous day had left large puddles on the dirt roads. A crowd of Elven workers walked around, not bothering to avoid the mud.
Just around the corner Riaden noticed them stepping outside and the door disappearing behind them. He wondered why they were just allowed to leave. He decided to keep his distance. If he approached them now who knows how the bandits would respond.
But still one question plagued the assassins mind. "What the fuck are those idiots doing?"
Rol took the pass and looked at it quickly, not actually taking any time to remember details of it or what was on it, you know like when you check your watch to see the time, but after you look you just can't remember what the time was? Like that.
"Well time to be errand boys, again. Always fun. Uhm, should I just hold this pass or put it in a pocket or something?"
Jex Cahill on Fri Mar 18, 2016 7:13 pm
Jex nodded and started walking off. He could see that they were approaching the wall separating the west side from the harbor. He pulled out his pass. It didn't seem like it was an ID, as there was nothing specific or generally unique between each one. He assumed the passes worked more like tickets. As long as you had one, it was good enough.
"Danielle, do you have any info at all on the city you can give me?"
Danielle formed her mouth with mana again and answered out loud. "The only information I have on this city is thousands of years old. Sorry." She paused. "But if you give me a few minutes I can scan the city and make a map. If you want."
Riaden kept following them until he was sure they weren't being followed by anyone aside from himself. He didn't see anyone suspicious so he approached them.
Suddenly he was walking in between Jex and Rol. "What the fuck are you two doing?" He asked buntly.
The streets slowly became less crowded as the morning rush hour passed by. Most of the people here seemed to be at the harbor or heading in that direction. After a while they found a main road and the dirt under their feet was replaced by white bricks.
The people there seemed to purposely avoid them. Mostly because of the "scary" manticore walking next to Rol.
Roltharus on Fri Mar 18, 2016 9:05 pm
"We are running errands for a gang"
Rol said, quickly. His pass was still in his hand from earlier.
"You don't have one o these, you'll have to wait for a sec."
