the bone labyrinth by james rollins

Deep within the heart of the Amazon rainforest, a team of archaeologists, geneticists, and linguists embarked on an ambitious quest to explore the mysteries of the Bone Labyrinth. The labyrinth was a vast network of underground tunnels and chambers that had remained hidden for centuries, shrouded in myth and legend.

The team consisted of Dr. Tucker Wayne, a former soldier with expertise in animal behavior, Dr. Safia al-Maaz, a linguist with a passion for ancient languages, Dr. Javier Gomez, a geneticist with a knack for unraveling the mysteries of DNA, and Dr. Harold McCabe, an archaeologist with a deep understanding of ancient civilizations.

As they descended deeper into the labyrinth, the team began to feel disoriented by the electromagnetic field emitted by the rock. They had to rely on their compasses and maps to navigate their way through the maze.

The tunnels branched out in all directions, forming a complex network of passages that seemed to go on forever. The team found themselves lost in a maze of twisting passages, each one seemingly identical to the next.

The team encountered many challenges along the way, including booby traps, puzzles, and hidden passages. They had to use their knowledge of ancient civilizations and their expertise in science and archaeology to overcome these obstacles.

As they explored further, the team discovered evidence of an ancient civilization that had once inhabited the region. They found elaborate carvings and murals that depicted scenes of daily life, revealing a highly advanced society with sophisticated technology and knowledge.

The team also uncovered evidence of a strange genetic anomaly that seemed to have originated in the area. This anomaly had puzzled scientists for years, but now they were closer than ever to uncovering its origins.

Finally, the team reached a massive chamber deep within the labyrinth. Here, they found the machine responsible for creating the electromagnetic field that permeated the tunnels. The machine was massive, with complex controls and sophisticated technology that seemed far beyond anything they had ever seen.

The team realized that the machine was still active and that it was slowly building up energy. They knew they had to shut it down before it reached critical mass and destroyed the entire region.

But shutting down the machine was not going to be easy. The team had to solve a series of complex puzzles and navigate through a maze of traps and obstacles to reach the machine's controls.

As they worked their way through the labyrinth, the team faced a final showdown with the guardians who were determined to protect the machine at all costs. It was a fierce battle, with the team using all of their skills and expertise to overcome their opponents.

Finally, the team reached the controls of the machine. They worked quickly to shut it down, using all of their knowledge and expertise to disable the complex system.

As the machine powered down, the electromagnetic field slowly dissipated, and the team was able to communicate with the outside world once again. They emerged from the labyrinth, victorious but exhausted, with a newfound understanding of the ancient civilization that had once inhabited the region and the knowledge that they had prevented a catastrophic disaster from occurring.

The team returned to the surface with a wealth of new information and artifacts, providing insight into the mysterious civilization that had once inhabited the region. The Bone Labyrinth had revealed its secrets, thanks to the bravery and determination of the team that had ventured into its depths.

OC Interview - Valerie Powell

I was tagged by @gloryride forever ago to interview my girl--Thank you, bb! I'm so late to doing this that I'm not gonna tag anyone else, but feel free to yoink it if you wanna do it!

[Answers are directly from Valerie's POV before the heist in 2077.]

.ೃ࿔*:･ NAME?

Valerie Irene Powell. [laughs] Yeah, my initials are VIP. My dad had a dorky sense of humor, and my mom let him get away with it. "Irene" is my great-grandmother's first name on her side of the family.

.ೃ࿔*:･ NICKNAME?

Pretty much just "V" these days, which was all Jackie's doing. A lot of the staff and some regulars at Nishimura's used to call me "Blue," but that was ages ago. Overly familiar acquaintances who don't know me well but think they do usually call me "Val."

.ೃ࿔*:･ GENDER?

Biologically female, no gender alterations or augmentations.

A/N - Valerie is a cis woman, but I don't see that specific language being in her vernacular.

.ೃ࿔*:･ STAR SIGN?

I was born in Night City on October 12 2041. Misty tells me that makes me a, uh--Hey, Misty, what am I again?

[Misty, calling from the other room: Libra Sun with a Taurus Moon and Scorpio Rising!]

Yeah, that. [laughs] Whatever the hell that even means.

.ೃ࿔*:･ HEIGHT?

Tall. 5'10" or 178 cm. And I admit I have a weakness for a sexy pair of heels, so I usually look a lot taller.

.ೃ࿔*:･ ORIENTATION?

People are out here fucking cyborgs with four eyes and chicks with gold dicks and electric nipples--What does this even mean? [laughs] I've never given it much thought. I like what I like, and I've liked a lot of different types of people with a lot of different things going on. [laughs again]

A/N: I say Valerie is bi, because that is the contemporary real-life word that best reflects her sexuality for me when I'm talking about her, but when I was really thinking about it from her POV and in the context of her world, I don't think she'd be too hung up on a label. She'd also probably see her wide spectrum of attraction as closer to the default, not the exception.

.ೃ࿔*:･ NATIONALITY/ETHNICITY?

I'm a typical American mutt. My dad's side of the family can mostly be traced back to Western Europe--my grandmother told me "Powell" is an Anglicized form of an old Welsh surname--and my mom's side is from the Eastern Mediterranean. Dad's side has been in NUSA for a long time (like two centuries before it was even called NUSA), but Mom's family has only been here for a few generations.

.ೃ࿔*:･ FAVE FRUIT?

I just love fresh fruit. It's such a rare treat in Night City--I'll take fresh strawberries or melons over any other kind of sweet treat.

.ೃ࿔*:･ FAVE SEASON?

Spring! When everything starts turning green and flowers are blooming. There aren't a ton of places in Night City where you can really experience that, but I know a few hidden gems.

.ೃ࿔*:･ FAVE FLOWER?

Hydrangeas, probably. Especially the blue and purple ones. Oh, and wisteria! A tree covered in blooming wisteria is one of the most beautiful sights I've ever seen.

.ೃ࿔*:･ FAVE SCENT?

Freshly brewed coffee; new car smell; woodsy, smokey colognes and perfumes; real leather; whatever incense Misty uses in her shop; clothes right out of the dryer; lavender; a ton more that I know I'm forgetting!

.ೃ࿔*:･ COFFEE, TEA, OR HOT CHOCOLATE?

Strong coffee, black, maybe a little sugar if I'm feeling indulgent. Tea is nice, but it's not my caffeine fix. I like a cup of lavender or chamomile tea at night. Hot chocolate is too heavy and rich for my taste. A sip is nice, but I could never finish a cup.

.ೃ࿔*:･ AVERAGE HOURS OF SLEEP?

I try not to get any fewer than 6 hours, but that's easier said than done some nights. Okay, most nights.

.ೃ࿔*:･ DOG OR CAT PERSON?

You know, I've only ever seen one dog in person. A childhood friend's family had one--I don't know the breed, but it was a yippy little shit and it bit me! Never really wanted to see another dog, if I'm honest.

I like cats, though. There's a stray that hangs by Misty's place--He's the sweetest little guy. I picked up a bag of kibble we keep there to feed him when he comes around.

.ೃ࿔*:･ DREAM TRIP?

I've actually traveled a lot--My parents had to go to Biotechnica's HQ in Rome a few times when I was a kid, and they usually turned those trips into an excuse to have an extended European vacation. And I went all over the globe working for Arasaka for 7 years. I'd love to go back to Japan for non-work reasons.

.ೃ࿔*:･ FAVORITE FICTIONAL CHARACTER?

You're gonna laugh, it's so predictable. In my defense, I can't remember the last time I watched or read anything new--Actually, that's not true. Jackie made me watch one of those Bushido movies last week, and I just don't get it. Anyway. It's Elizabeth Bennet. Don't look at me--What's the next question?

.ೃ࿔*:･ NUMBER OF BLANKETS YOU SLEEP WITH?

Just a sheet and comforter.

.ೃ࿔*:･ RANDOM FACT?

Oh, no, don't put me on the spot like this! [laughs] Um, okay, I shot my first firearm when I was about 7. Under intense adult supervision--My dad was really serious about self-defense and the right to bear arms, which always surprised people because he came across as such a meek science nerd. I didn't like it--It was so loud, even with earmuffs. Funny how things change.

Is that kind of a heavy note to leave on? [laughs again] Okay, how about this one: I can't roll my tongue.

#fem v #female v #fem v friday #oc: valerie v powell #g: cyberpunk 2077 #long post #so the fave character one really confounded me bc who the fuck are fictional characters in this world lmao #and then i was like well we could go classic lit since that still exists #and valerie was a bit of a book nerd when she was younger #and i was like omg valerie is 100% a closet romantic we gotta go austen #and the gender and orientation ones stumped me a bit too bc i just really don't think these would be seen the same way as they are irl #i think valerie would find both questions kind of odd #this was a lot of fun to do though #and the nickname thing was a bit of fun projection from my own irritation at acquaintances calling me a shortened version of my name #that i dont like lmao

[djservo]

crashes in in a fashionably late kind of way.. january is finally over!! 31 days felt like 300 but now that we’re on the other side of it, what books did you read to start 2024? what was the vibe any standouts has it changed what’s on the horizon?

I've started keeping a physical calendar again so you'd think having the month splayed out in front of me so directly and constantly would be grounding but week after week I was just like Omg how is there More.... we made it thru tho god bless xx January was fun!!

in terms of my pre-planned monthly reading themes, January was a grace period where I let my whims guide me so I'm surprised at how many themes incidentally overlapped?? Naomi Klein referencing The Fire Next Time, the theme of internet doubles and online dark corners in Doppelganger essentially being the core of The Sluts, the dark spiraling mystery of The Sluts akin to the dark spiraling mystery of Mysterious Skin, yada yada yada. I luv when the dots inadvertently connect!! right place right time vibe!!

The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin

it's been really nice starting my reading off with Baldwin these past few years, something grounding about immersing myself in sharp indictments of the US amidst the usual new year wide-eyed blitheness. this one was only 2 essays but both gripped me just as much as his longer collections. I imagine it's hard to sort of reframe arguments, pleas, and points you've been talking about for years when things still haven't changed, but each new (to me) Baldwin essay reads so fresh in the way that he contextualizes these core points within different interactions + relationships. I think Ive said this before but it's also so rewarding to read an author's works chronologically because you can kind of follow how their frame of mind sharpens/adapts throughout the years and in a way you grow with them, and his first essay (a letter to his nephew) kinda feels like the culmination of that growth laid out with such care. super special

Doppelganger by Naomi Klein

totallyyyyyy consumed + dizzied by this wow I can't believe it took me this long to read Naomi Klein. I think I'd been intimidated by the size of her books + my incorrect assumption that something so research-heavy (bc boy does she research!) will read too dense, but everything here was laid out and tied together so smoothly + accessibly (I feel like I use that word a lot for nonfiction which is probably my subconscious quest to entice ppl to read more nonfiction hehe) This read like partial investigative deep dive into the online world of conspiracy theories/Qanon cesspools + partial mystery novel about her own experience with Naomi Wolf (her 'doppelganger')?? idk it feels weird to relate someone's lived experience to a spectacle like that but it really was like edge of seat level curiosity/uncertainty/etc. just so engrossing and thorough and THRILLING, the epilogue made me gasp!!!

Leslie F*cking Jones by Leslie Jones

my one + only spotify audiobook experience, cut short amid the last chapter bc I ran out of hours and no longer am a spotify premium user so I just read the rest </3 but that turned out to be fun bc I saw what a stark difference it was to listen vs. read this. the audio rules bc Leslie totally goes off script to add anecdotes (one of the reviews was like 'she was NOT reading what was written!!' LMAO so true.. and I love her for that!!) + an emotional depth I don't think could've been sufficiently captured in written form - her laughter and her palpable anger and her literally crying over... such a robust journey! I was an SNL fan basically my whole life til I went to college so I always love stories about it and I really admire how she didn't hold back in her criticisms. I feel like former members (especially those somewhat fresh off the slab in a way) feel like they have to be eternally grateful to their experience when so much of it is so clearly draining and thankless. doubled expectations because she's a woman, tripled because she's a Black woman, and therefore expected to just bend over and take it (her words) but she never does!! she never tries to compromise her own experiences like "this happened... but at least this happened too and they actually were nice in this way-" NO!! she compartmentalizes the good and the bad so distinctly so there's no misunderstanding, and I just really really admire that, the lack of kissing ass in an industry where that's practically what fuels your career/reputation!! she rocks + is such a funny storyteller+ I'm so glad I listened to this

The Sluts by Dennis Cooper

ofc had to squeeze my old man in... I think this was actually the book to first put Cooper on my radar so it was super fulfilling to finally get to it (even tho I devoured it in just 2 days.. a shame bc it was a slay to read this in public) Supremely up my alley with its 2000s internet mystique, the perfect backdrop for a twisted mystery + ruminations of Internet As Performance Art™, the internet as roleplay, what's real + what's just fantasy/fetish, etc etc. so so so good and while still sick and horrifying as his writing is known for, perhaps the most readable for an uninitiated reader of Cooper's works?? even then I'd say this is still for a very particular reader tho idk i can never get a pulse on what a majority of readers are into these days!! I really loved this though and I'm sure it'll be in my top 5 for the year thank u once again for the twisted ride denny !!!

My People Shall Live by Leila Khaled, George Hajjar

feels more like political ethnography than personal memoir. there is some of Leila's backstory and family and personal relationships sprinkled in (her husband is given maybe 5 lines total LOL), but so much of her being is clearly centered around Palestinian resistance + revolution, so recounting her political work within a collective was her truest form of autobiography as that was indeed her life/livelihood. wild to read how intense she was even from childhood, how Down she was to sacrifice things and put herself on the line... literally getting plastic surgery after hijacking a plane in order to be able to get involved in more demonstrations without being recognized like god!!! intense life-altering decisions and it's like she doesn't even bat an eye or show any regrets/wistful 'what if i hard a 'normal' life?'!! that eric andre margaret thatcher meme but instead "do you think leila khaled effectively utilized girl power by hijacking a plane?'' LOL I mean... ! 🤭

The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov

SILLY + ABSURD!!! a bit of a hike to get there but once I hit it, it was hard to put this down (as is my experience with a lot of classics, I find) I think I really enjoy magical realism rooted in political/cultural landscapes, or maybe I just really like wacky shit (it made me think a bit of Catch-22 which I also had fun with!!) + this didn't disappoint!! truly giggled aloud at some parts, the ridiculousness of it all!!! makes me wanna deep dive into the history of the Soviet Union but I feel like I'll need to clear at least an entire month for that .... will have to plan accordingly 👩‍🔬

Mysterious Skin by Scott Heim

heartbreaking and dark but handled with a lot of care. I guessed the "twist" (which feels indelicate to call it that but I cant think of another word rn) early on but I think that just heightened the slow unraveling of it + made it that much more emotionally grueling to get thru. perhaps that was even the point! I'd been meaning to watch the movie for like over a decade at this point but wanted to read it first so now having read and watched it I'm glad it was now vs. me at 10 or whenever bc dumb tween me likely wouldn't have processed it well enough and the darkness would've overshadowed the journey itself. sometimes it's important to wait I guess is what I'm trying to say!!!

I definitely want to squeeze in another Naomi Klein this year if possible, maybe some Russian/Ukrainian lit. I've focused on Baldwin's nonfiction these past years so I might pick up a fiction of his this month + ofc Cooper wherever I can squeeze him <3

#january i told myself i'd write my thoughts immediately after a book so i'm not rambling/scrounging for thoughts on the spot during our #roundups .. did not stick to it clearly </3 FEBRUARY IT IS!! #asks #devitalise #rip to the cheesehair tag </3 #reads #<- thats my new book tag i'm tired of typing bobby book club + i can't exactly shorten it to BBC bc. well

okay, question: are nicknames that shorten someone’s full name to one of its unaccented syllables ever actually a thing outside of badfic, or…?

#it’s definitely not a way i’d personally ever shorten someone’s name #but i can def imagine that other languages/cultures might handle this differently? #but i’ve seen shit in fic that’s like. imagine your characters are named‚ idk‚ thomas and daniel— #suddenly their lovers will be calling them ’mas and ’yel #and it’s like. in what world would you not be shortening these names to the accented first syllable instead. is this a misty lackey book. #(also i don’t think i’ve ever read a fic abt anyone named thomas in my life but. work with me here) #anyway. i guess ppl named suzanne get called suzy ever? so there are exceptions #but. curious abt other perspectives! #names and naming #(might need to reblog this when it isn’t 2:30 AM but. curiosity strikes when it strikes)

[ID: A digital drawing done in pink pencil of Galadriel and Orion from The Scholomance book series. They’re cuddling, and Orion has his arms and one leg wrapped around El, the other dangling next to her legs. Orion has his eyes closed and is grinning. He wears a hoodie and baggy cargo pants, and his socks are falling off at the toes. El has an arm wrapped around Orion, and she looks down at him in a subdued loving way, with a slight smile. She’s wearing a t-shirt and baggy sweatpants. A flurry of hearts is above Orion’s head, and a single heart in a word bubble is next to El’s head. /end ID]

tittle: ender games by orson scott card

here is an epic story for all ages and a must read for any sci-fi fans

Andrew "Ender" Wiggin was just a six-year-old boy when the International Fleet began monitoring him. Ender's siblings, Peter and Valentine, had both been candidates for the Fleet's program but had been rejected for various reasons. However, Ender was different. He possessed the intelligence of Peter and the empathy of Valentine, making him the perfect candidate for the Fleet's program.

Ender was taken to Battle School, a space station where he would be trained alongside other children in various games and simulations to prepare him for the war against the Formics, an alien race that threatened Earth's existence. At the school, Ender met other brilliant children, including Petra Arkanian, Bean, and Alai, who became his close friends and allies. The school was run by Colonel Graff and his assistant, Major Anderson, who oversaw Ender's training and development.

Ender's training was rigorous and brutal. He was constantly pushed to his limits, physically and mentally, and forced to confront his deepest fears and insecurities. He was put through a series of tests and simulations, including a zero-gravity laser tag game and a mock battle in which he had to command his own army against another group of children. Ender excelled in these games and proved to be a natural leader, quickly rising through the ranks and gaining the respect of his peers.

As Ender's training progressed, he became increasingly isolated from his peers. He was manipulated by Colonel Graff, who convinced Ender that he was fighting a simulated war game when, in fact, he was commanding real fleets of ships in the war against the Formics. Ender struggled with the moral implications of his actions, but ultimately decided to do whatever it took to win the war and save humanity.

In the final battle against the Formics, Ender was forced to make a devastating decision. He believed that he was playing another simulation, but in reality, he was commanding a real fleet of ships against the Formic home planet. Ender decided to use a weapon of mass destruction that destroyed the entire planet, wiping out the Formic race. Ender was devastated by his actions and was haunted by the guilt of what he had done.

In the aftermath of the war, Ender discovered that the Formics were not the evil monsters he believed them to be. They were a peaceful race that was only defending themselves against human aggression. Ender was wracked with guilt and grief, but he was determined to find a way to redeem himself and atone for his actions.

The novel concludes with Ender leaving Earth to search for a new home for the Formic Hive Queen, the only surviving member of the Formic race. He hoped that by finding a new home for her, he could make amends for the destruction he had caused and find some measure of redemption for his actions.

"Ender's Game" is a powerful and thought-provoking story that explores complex themes such as morality, leadership, and the consequences of war. The story presents a vivid and compelling vision of a future world where the fate of humanity rests on the shoulders of brilliant young minds like Ender's. It is a timeless story that continues to captivate readers today.
