My past is something left in broad strokes in my source material, and a lot of fanon and the like I see seems to paint it as overall happier than it was. What I remember of my childhood as a living experiment and prototype weapon, a life of constant dehumanization and abuse at the hands of all but one, is something I see often depicted as an isolated but loving family life. I suppose, in a sense, it's a desire to see me happy, but it still hurts to constantly see a performance of a life I was denied in fan material.
It hurts also to have a lost loved one be treated by your source as little more than a prop in your arc. I loved Maria deeply, I can reach back to countless memories of moments we shared and promises we made, but within my source media she's little more than an outline of a person I might have known. Many even see the pain her loss still leaves in me as a joke, or empty angst.
- Shadow the Hedgehog
Yeah, you definitely aren't alone in that one. I was an experimental zombie and my so called uncle only raised me to be his servant and because he saw me as replaceable tried to kill me. More than once.
Too much of the fandom wants to make him the good guy and most of them pretend that I don't exist at all but plenty of them depict our relationship as healthy, who change nothing of what he did to me, but force us into more familial roles to make him look better and it's an insult to everything I went through.
I am so sorry for your loss, and that because your counterpart/source is fictional, you encounter so many jokes and disrespect about it. Your pain is legitimate, your grief is valid, and you're not alone.

The concept of supersonic transport (SST) has been a part of the commercial flight and aerospace sector since the 1970s. But as the Concorde demonstrated, the technology’s commercial viability has always been hampered by various challenges. For starters, supersonic planes must limit their speed to about 965 km/h (600 mph) over land to prevent damage caused by their sonic booms. Given the potential for flying from New York City to London in about 3.5 hours, which otherwise takes about 8 hours on average, aerospace engineers hope to overcome this problem. Since 2006, the NASA Commercial Supersonic Technology Project (CSTP) has been researching SST as part of its QueSST mission and the X-59 quiet supersonic aircraft to reduce sonic booms, thus removing a crucial barrier to commercial development. Recently, NASA investigated whether commercial supersonic jets could theoretically travel from one major city to another at speeds between Mach 2 and 4 – 2,470 to 4,940 km/h (1,535 to 3,045 mph) at sea level. These studies concluded that there are potential passenger markets along 50 established routes, which could revolutionize air travel. The QueSST mission aims to provide aviation regulators like the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) with data that will help change the rules regarding overland supersonic flight. The U.S. and other nations currently prohibit supersonic flights over land, which is why the studies’ findings covered trans-oceanic travel. This included high-volume North Atlantic routes connecting North America to Europe, Africa, and Eurasia and trans-Pacific flights connecting to Asia. Lori Ozoroski, the project manager for NASA’s CSTP, explained in a recent NASA press release: “We conducted similar concept studies over a decade ago at Mach 1.6-1.8, and those resulting roadmaps helped guide NASA research efforts since, including those leading to the X-59,” “These new studies will both refresh those looks at technology roadmaps and identify additional research needs for a broader high-speed range.” Artist’s impression of the X-59 supersonic research aircraft. Credit: NASA With these studies complete, NASA’s Advanced Air Vehicles Program (AAVP) is now moving ahead with the next phase of the research. This program conducts studies to evaluate and create technologies that could lead to new aircraft systems and advanced concepts that promise to revolutionize air travel. The next phase will involve issuing two 12-month contracts to companies to produce designs and technology roadmaps for their realization. Each team will be led by a major aerospace developer and will include commercial and research partners offering technical expertise. They include: Team Boeing: Boeing Commercial Airplanes (lead), Exosonic GE Aerospace, Georgia Tech Aerospace Systems Design Laboratory, Rolls-Royce North American Technologies, and others. Team Northrop Grumman: Northrop Grumman Aeronautics Systems (lead), Blue Ridge Research and Consulting, Boom Supersonic, and Rolls-Royce North American Technologies. Each team will be responsible for exploring air travel possibilities, outlining risks and challenges, and identifying the technologies necessary to make their concepts a reality. They will also be required to include detailed descriptions of the concept elements, including the airframe, power, propulsion, thermal management, and composite materials – all of which must be able to endure high-supersonic speeds. Said Mary Jo Long-Davis, the manager of NASA’s Hypersonic Technology Project (HTP): “The design concepts and technology roadmaps are really important to have in our hands when the companies are finished. We are also collectively conscious of the need to account for safety, efficiency, economic, and societal considerations. It’s important to innovate responsibly so we return benefits to travelers and do no harm to the environment.” In April last year, NASA reported that they had finished crucial ground tests on the X-59 airframe. These happened over several months at the NASA/FAA North Texas Research Station (NTX) in Fort Worth, Texas. The airframe was then returned to Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works facility in Palmdale, California, where it received its supersonic jet engine by the following November. As of June 2023, the aircraft has been moved into a new phase of ground testing on the flight line (the space between the hangar and the runway) to ensure it is ready to fly. These efforts parallel those of commercial space companies like Virgin Galactic, SpaceX, Blue Origin, and others hoping to realize suborbital and transcontinental flights with their spaceplanes and spacecraft in the near future. Whether it’s taking place in the air lanes above major cities or in space, the future of transportation promises to be very advanced and very rapid!

California start-ups will develop new aviation fuel for supersonic military aircraft
Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 11/22/2021 - 07:51 in Military, Technology
Exosonic, an aviation company focused on the development of supersonic aircraft, announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with carbon transformation company Twelve to work cooperatively to expand Twelve's sustainable aviation fuel to be 100% compatible with Exosonic's supersonic jet engine.
According to a press release from the company, the support and funding of the United States Air Force (USAF) allowed the two California-based start-ups to accelerate their growth and research.
Exosonic and Twelve are working with USAF through independent small business innovation research (SBIR) contracts sponsored by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). More recently, Twelve announced that USAF supported the production of the first fossil-free jet fuel from carbon dioxide (CO2) electrolysis, called E-Jet, demonstrating a scalable and energy-efficient path to de-fossilization of global commercial and military aviation. In addition, Exosonic received support from USAF to develop and modify the company's supersonic commercial aircraft to serve as an executive transport vehicle.
"We are excited about the partnership with Twelve, an innovative company that develops the carbon neutral aviation fuel of the future," said Norris Tie, CEO and co-founder of Exosonic. “We believe that the aviation industry needs to move towards more sustainable solutions. Exosonic hopes to work with Twelve to include its fuel in our silent supersonic aircraft and all our supersonic UAV product lines. Exosonic should be sustainable from day one, and our partnership is a great start to this vision.”
“Changing our global fossil fuel economy requires a hand-handed approach on deck. This is especially true when it comes to air travel, which is one of the most difficult sectors to reduce. The creation of a ready-to-use jet fuel with CO2 allows aviation to become carbon neutral. The partnership with Exosonic will allow long-distance supersonic aviation, while minimizing emissions," said Nicholas Flanders, co-founder and CEO of Twelve.

Exosonic is excited to develop the first supersonic UAV built for this purpose to help the USAF in its pilot training mission. This vehicle will demonstrate technologies directly relevant to Exosonic's silent supersonic aircraft and build a short-term path to revenue. The company plans to reinvest profits from UAV sales to finance future developments of supersonic products, such as the commercial aircraft.
Exosonic also previously presented a supersonic version for the U.S. presidential aircraft.
Norris Tie, CEO of Exosonic, says: "Our vision at Exosonic is to make people fly supersonicly everywhere with our plane designed to fly supersonic overland with a silent sonic bang. The work of supersonic UAV is fundamental to our company's strategy due to how much we will learn about the design, manufacture and maintenance of supersonic aircraft with our first UAV products. The UAV is also important for the longevity of our company. This will provide profits that can be channeled back to our company and give investors, suppliers and customers the confidence that we can deliver supersonic aircraft to the market before someone needs to make a billion-dollar investment."
This supersonic UAV will help the pilot training mission, acting as an almost equal opponent fighter to challenge fighter pilots in real flight training. Due to limited training budgets and the shortage of pilots, the USAF cannot produce new fully trained fighter pilots efficiently. As a result, a limited number of fighter pilots are receiving the appropriate amount of live air training necessary to prepare to defend the US against similar opponents.
Equipped with various payloads and sensors, training can be performed for a fraction of the cost of existing aerial training solutions. This could save millions of taxpayers in training dollars and reduce the wear and tear of existing USAF operational aircraft acting as aggressors. Supersonic UAVs will also allow fighter pilots to focus their flight time on flight training instead of flying against "enemies" created by fellow pilots.
In addition to working with the USAF, Exosonic is working with government contractors, such as Tactical Air Support, to understand how pilot training can be improved. Jim DiMatteo, Director of Communications and pilot of the F-5 ADAIR said: "Tactical Air Support is excited to see an emerging supersonic UAV platform that can operate in conjunction with a manned contracted opponent such as Tactical Air Support's F-5 Advanced Tiger. These expanded capabilities will significantly improve the training of the Department of Defense blue forces at a reduced cost."
