A pale light in the Black, par K.B. Wager (Harper voyager, mars 2020)

« Coast Guard » dans l’espace…

Military-fiction bas de gamme. Abandonné page 30. Ce qui m’évite d’avoir à lire les deux épisodes suivants de cette série !

While ago, I made a post about the Mayor/Chief of War's Chinese dub title being 大元帅/Dà Yuánshuài (aka Grand Marshal).

And after little more digging (aka throwing the term in Wikipedia's search par), this kind of courtesy title was mostly reserved for two types of people:

Legendary war heroes

OR

The Crown Prince

Based on the little we know about the Mayor's backstory, I think the first one is probably the one the show writers were going with. Which would make the Mayor a nice parallel for Azure.

You know, them both being high ranking soldiers who grew so tired of their boss' bs that they ended up killing them.

But the second possibility... That idea of LBD slowly manipulating the Emperor's very own son into her most loyal servant. That she had lost her faith in humanity so thoroughly that the idea of replacing this selfish ruler with her puppet wasn't a choice she even considered.

(Unless that was indeed what she did, since that scene clearly takes place before she met the Pilgrims)

But most importantly: the idea that the Mayor was so loyal to LBD that he gave up his future as an Emperor, betrayed the people he was supposed to rule one day and murdered his own father.

#lmk #monkie kid #lego monkie kid #lmk mayor #SF rambles #it seems to be a very old title too #you can find pretty much identical ones from Korea and Japan #but in those it was a courtesy title for the Emperor #to make him the leader of the military or something #but in China it seems to have varied more #Oh also #Starting now I will forever head canon that Dà Yuánshuài/Grand Marshal/Chief of War was also Macaque's title in Wukong's court #Gotta love the good old gender neutral use of Queen Macaque #but come on!#you can't tell me it wouldn't fit

Stuff about laser weapons:

don’t think “thing that scans DVDs”, think “1980s camcorder only light goes out instead of coming in”; a DVD laser only needs to go a few millimeters, not tens or hundreds of meters

you can use the laser optics to create a laser pointer dot—which will seem to explode when you shoot the actual weapon beam

the optics can double as a telescopic sight, since that’s just adding something to receive light along with the stuff for generating it; I would uplink it to helmet optics, like the smartlinking in Halo

visible-light lasers can easily blind you, and it’s easy for IR and UV lasers to be shifted wavelength into visible; people in warzones using lasers would probably wear filter contact lenses

the primary determinant of laser range is wavelength (shorter wavelength = longer range, except that not very deep in the near-UV, air becomes opaque—also water-vapor is opaque to near-IR), followed by the material of the target

lasers might make a very soft electronic buzz when activated, but the beam makes a sound like a gunshot upon hitting soft tissue, as the liquid in it boils out of the wound

a laser wound is not cauterized (water boils at 100° C, cauterization happens at 450–500° C), but in fact is bloody like a gunshot wound, except the blood is a bit hotter when the wound is freshly made

Implacable, par Jack Campbell (Ace, juillet 2023)

Dans cet épisode « Geary chez les ET », « Geary contre les méchants capitalistes », « Geary contre les méchants xénophobes »…

Cette série me fait de plus en plus penser à l’histoire sans fin de Perry Rhodan. J’imagine que par contrat l’auteur est contraint de produire un truc chaque année.

Daimonion and the human (part 6)

The heat of Crucio industrial district, largely owed to the three metalworks plants, was conspicuously absent. Smelters and forges that should’ve been working non-stop lay as the dead. Union workers now elsewhere in the city, worker-drones all in a dormant state, and city animals capitalizing on the down time to emerge from their hidey holes. Three white and orange cats chased a throng of…

Since my usual tricks (aka google, wiki and episodes with subtitles) aren't working...

Does anyone know what was the word Chinese dub used for the Mayor's old title: the Chief of War?

#the mayor #lmk mayor #lmk #lego monkie kid #monkie kid #I don't seem to be able to find S3 episode 13 with chinese subs...#so link for one would also help #I was able to find Ministry of War but not title for it's leader #Yuanshuai is highest military title since Ming dynasty that isn't a ceremonial #but that translates as Marshal #Could I just accept the English title?#sure #Buuut I don't want to #also yes #fanfic rearch #SF rambles
