The Paladin (Chapter 1)

Summary: The crew of the Paladin are on their way to Helios. They just need to get through this storm first.

Word Count: 1777

Feedback through asks or messages encouraged. This is the first chapter to hopefully an ongoing story. We’ll see.

Chapter 1

Alice involuntarily held her breath as they piloted the ship into the storm. Violent winds tore through the Paladin’s shields rocking the crew inside. The Paladin, a military spacecraft being held together by parts found in a junkyard, was the home for a crew of five. If they had their way they wouldn’t be flying to a planet with an everlasting atmostorm. Yet this is where the next mission led them and they were already late.

“Hang on,” Brenden said. Alice watched as he took the Paladin off auto pilot. “Alice!”

“Right.” Alice moved her holo screen in front of her. She brought up a map of the planet typing in the coordinates for their destination. The screen distorted flashing a low power warning before erroring out. Alice tried again but the same result came up. They had redirected most of the power to the shields and the storm’s interference was making it hard for the computer to find the coordinates.

“Anything?” Brenden said.

Alice shook her head.

“Well, lucky you,” Brenden started. “You’re about to witness the greatest piece of flying you’ve ever seen.”

Alice once again held her breath. She was beginning to regret volunteering to help co-pilot the storm. However she was the one with the most navigating experience besides the captain and he was busy maintaining the engine room.

“How are we looking, Brenden?” The captain’s gruff voice boasted through the intercom.

Ryker Richards, an ex-alliance officer, was captain of the Paladin. After a dishonorable discharge from the Alliance he fled to the outskirts of deep space and became a mercenary. Alice never asked what cause his discharged and he never spoke of it.

“Shields at 40%. Navigation is a bust. And I can’t see shit in this storm.” Brenden held the throttle so tight his knuckles were losing their color. “Other than that, you know, it’s all good.”

“I’m going to divert power from the computers to the shields if they can’t be used in the storm,” Ryker said.

“Captain,” Alice started. “I’m no longer of use up here. Do you need me there?”

“No,” Ryker replied. “I don’t want you moving around until we’re docked.”

“Roger that.” Alice pushed her holo screen away and stared into the dark storm.

Her brown eyes brightened with every energy surge through the black clouds. The winds so ferocious attacking the ship. Despite Brenden’s efforts the ship continued to jerk hard enough her belt squeezed her thighs. The thick clouds weighed heavy on the wings of the Paladin. Alice could hear Brenden softly cursing to himself trying to steer through the storm.

Somewhere in this storm was a city called Helios a known haven for the worst of the worst. It used the storm as cover to hide from Alliance patrols that scoured the galaxy for such cities.

Alice watched as the little power left drained from the computers. They no longer had anyway to map the storm. The shields went up by 15%, but that didn’t keep the storm from pounding on them. Without their navigation the coordinates they were given were useless. Flying blind through an atmostorm looking for a city could be the death of them. The Paladin would shatter piece by piece before they even navigated one percent of the storm.

“Captain!” Alice said. “I think we should divert all power to the navigation.”

“Are you crazy?” Brenden yelled.

“Explain.” Ryker said.

“We only have so much power. Putting it all in shields will only keep us alive so long. We can’t blindly navigate the storm. We need those coordinates. Just a few seconds so we can map the storm.”

Alice grabbed her seat as the shipped jerked in the air.

“You’ll only have a few moments. Make them count.”

“Yes, Sir.”

“The wind is going to rip the ship apart,” Brenden whispered.

“Yeah,” Alice said. “I’ll work fast.”

Alice brought her holo screen back in front of her. The screen held still with no power running to it. She held her fingers in front of the screen and waited.

The ship jolted from the winds. Alice heard Brenden curse as he lost control. The holo nav screen lit up. She pulled up the map and typed in the coordinates. The storm’s interference was still strong but the extra power helped the console lock on.

“Done!”

“Raise shields, Captain!” Brenden said.

The nav froze in place signalling the city’s location in the storm. Alice pointed it out only to get a nod from Brenden. With the shields back up he took control flying straight to the city.

Despite a few more moments where the wind attempted to tear through their shield the ship held together till the city appeared through the storm. Once in sight the dampers built around the city to keep out the storm engulfed their ship.

Alice could hear Brenden exhale in relief as he flew them to the docking bay. She couldn’t help but smile planting a kiss on Brenden’s cheek after he locked them into the bay.

He began to monologue about his superior piloting skills as Alice left the bridge to go to her room. She didn’t have much time to get her gear together. She was the captain’s right hand on the mission and she didn’t take that lightly. Especially not in this city.

Her room was the smallest one in the ship. Alice didn’t mind. She was the newest member of the ship and it was the only room they had left. Alice walked in to see the shaking of the ship knocked down her belongings. Everything from her books to her weapons and even some family heirlooms covered the floor of her room. Every bone in her body wanted her to meticulously put back her things exactly where they belong. Instead she threw her things on her bed hoping to get to it when she came back.

After semi cleaning the mess she opened her closet. Her clothes extended out of the wall allowing Alice to choose her outfit for the mission.

She changed into a light armored shirt with a brown jacket and pants combo. Her boots held a small holster where she put a pocket knife. She attached her weapons, a pair of cybernetic gauntlets, to her arm. The gauntlets expanded covering her whole arm. Their sleek skeletal look had a blue power LED light flowing through it letting her know they had full power. She grabbed her tech lenses from her bed putting them into her eyes. A HUD appeared in her viewpoint and began scanning everything in the room updating itself in the background. She took control of the gauntlets through the lenses disguising them as black fingerless gloves.

Alice opened her door to leave her room almost crashing into the captain’s daughter Kira.

Kira had the same dark skin tone as her father. Her brown hair in one long braid draped over her shoulder. She wore a tight black tank top showing off her toned arm muscles. Her dark green pants and boots completed the rest of her attire. Alice could tell she rushed out of her room once they docked. Her brown eyes gave her a quick look before she nodded in approval.

“I suppose I have you to thank for the amount of repairs I’m gonna have to do while you’re gone?” Kira asked raising her eyebrow slightly at the last word.

“Could be worse,” Alice said. “We could be lost in that storm holding each other waiting for death.”

Alice couldn’t help but notice a softness in Kira’s face as she stared at her. Alice gave her a small smile. She could see Kira wanted to say more. They had become fast friends when she joined the crew a year ago and now Alice felt like she wanted more. It was unclear to her if Kira felt the same and if she did she never said anything.

“Remember why we’re here,” Kira stated.

“I know,” Alice said.

“Be safe.” Kira said to Alice before walking away.

Alice watched Kira leave before walking to the ship’s cargo bay on the bottom floor.

The captain stood waiting for her.

Ryker’s dark grizzled face looked tired. His wrinkles were showing through his silver full-grown beard. His slicked back hair was losing it’s brown polish and going back to it’s natural grey. His cloudy brown eyes stared at Alice as she walked towards.

Despite his dishonorable discharge from the Alliance he still wore what many considered an alliance uniform, a blue vest over a black thinned armored shirt tucked into black pants with combat boots. His pistol clipped to his thigh. He already had his fingers glued to his pistol ready to pull it at any minute.

“An Alliance vest isn’t the best idea for this mission, Father.”

Alice turned to see Jace walking behind her. He pushed past her ignoring her presence. His clean-shaven face mirrored Ryker’s stern expression. Alice slowed her stride allowing Jace to catch up with his father first.

The older of Ryker’s children Jace stood eye to eye with his him. He wore a red long sleeve shirt with black pants. His long sleeves hid the cybernetic implants in his arms. Alice noticed Jace wore long sleeves often. It was another one of those unspoken things on the ship.   

“I should be joining you on this mission,” Jace said.

“You don’t trust me?” Alice asked walking back into his eyeline.

Jace’s dark eyes looked at Alice. His stoic expression didn’t change as he walked closer to her.

“Given the fact you almost destroyed the ship,” Jace said. “Kinda hard to trust you at my father’s side.”

“I didn’t destroy the ship,” Alice said. “I got us to the city. You can repair the ship.”

“Repairs cost credits. Credits we don’t have. Did you think about that?”

“I’m sorry your precious ship isn’t at 100%. I guess I was just more worried about it being ripped to pieces with us still inside.”

Jace moved closer. His eyes glaring at hers. Alice held her ground.

“You don’t have what it takes to survive this city,” Jace said.

“You seem to forget where you found me,” Alice retorted. “I lived in a city like this.”

“Not like this.”

“Enough,” Ryker roared. “She’s with me. End of discussion. Prepare for our return by fixing the ship.”

Alice couldn’t hide her smile as Jace inhaled deeply through flared nostrils. He turned leaving Ryker and Alice alone in the cargo bay. Alice didn’t say anything as Ryker removed his Alliance vest replacing it with a black long coat.

Alice pressed the button opening the cargo bay door.

Geeky DIY Halloween Costumes: 2017 Edition

There are so many things to love about Halloween, but the thing that warms my geeky little heart is the costumes. It’s the one time of year that cosplay is acceptable in more mainstream environments. If you’re a fellow costume enthusiast, you’ll likely fall into one of two camps. The first contains those who plan and work on their costumes year-round, devoting all their spare time and energy into it. God bless you, you passionate lunatics, I envy your skill, creativity, and free time. The latter are more like me; we love costumes but don’t have much in the way of time, money, talent, or all three. If you fall in this camp, you might think it’s too late for you. Well, as my favorite Lex Luthor ever once said…

In general, the best Halloween costumes are easily recognizable for what they are and specific to the year you wear them in. Of course, there are time-honored classics, but if you’re going to do it, I say make it count. The best costumes for people like us are easy to make and affordable. And even though it’s October already and the costume shops are likely all sold out of the “good” options, there’s still plenty of time to make something cool yourself.

Closet Cosplay: Snag yourself a WW logo tee (available at Kohls, Walmart, and Amazon) and pair it with navy leggings or jeggings. Slap your most ass-kicking calf-high boots and as many gold/bronze bangles as you can find. Complete the look with a take-no-shit expression.

Upgrades:

If your leggings are expendable, do some white stars up the sides with fabric paint.

Or swap out leggings for a No-sew tutu, search pinterest and take your pick of tutu-orials. (wear over short-shorts, these tutus usually don’t provide modesty)

Take a cue from fellow Geekader Sam Ahearn, who custom-made a tiara and wrist gauntlets for my daughter using felt, hot glue, glitter, elastic, and velcro. This would also work for a belt.

If you’re feeling really ambitious, boot covers really add something special to your look and aren’t too hard to make.

Closet Cosplay: This long sleeve fitness shirt is a decent approximation of the Spidey’s look in this year’s cinematic offering. If you’re feeling too bashful for tights, go with blue workout pants. A red gloves and ski mask combo can finish off this one, especially if you’re willing to use a little black marker to add detail.

Upgrades:

Have the confidence? Wear the tights, my good man, and more power to you

Boot covers aren’t just for ladies, some red ones will work for this look too.

If you’re into building things, check out tutorials to make your own wrist web shooter, like this one.

Closet Cosplay: Both characters have a lot of costumes in this year's Breath of the Wild, but the simplest to recreate is the basic look. For either, start with a long sleeve shirt and pants in white, tan, or brown. For Link, top with an oversized teal tee shirt and a brown belt over the shirt at your waist. For Zelda, go with a more feminine cut top. Add a white tank over top of it and tuck the straps and upper third under to mimic a corset and complete with the widest brown belt you can find. Finish off either look with brown boots and some DIY cardboard weapons. Bonus points if you do this as a couples costume.

Upgrades:

Strap it up. Do a google image search, these costumes actually involve a bunch of straps crossing the body, so if you can find some extra belts or scraps of brown fabric, all the better.

Elf ears from a Halloween store will give you that subtle Hylean look that sets you apart from Peter Pan.

Use some white fabric paint on your blue layer to recreate details from the in-game looks.

Closet Cosplay: This is one is especially great for kids, but works for any age. The inklings in the game all tend to dress in fairly casual, slightly oversized skater gear or athletic wear. With a parent's permission, have fun with some funky spray-on hair color and some wacky styling. If you have one, use your biggest most ridiculous water gun as a prop. If not, check if any stores near you have any summer toys on clearance.

Upgrades:

A neon colored wig from a Halloween store can really bump up this look. 

DIY an ink tank like this one to wear on your back and hold extra candy in.

Grab some pals, color coordinate your outfits and weaponry, and show up as a team!

Closet Cosplay: Not only has Hulu’s adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s classic has been a huge hit, but the costumes have been widely seen in public, as some have taken to wearing them as a form of political protest. Therefore, this is definitely a highly recognizable and very current costume and it’s also ridiculously easy to pull off. The basics are a drapey red garment that covers the whole body and a white bonnet. The former can be achieved by making a cape from any large red piece of fabric you can get your hands on or by wearing a long sleeved modest top and long skirt, both in red. Check your closet or your local thrift shop. Create the latter by attaching some white posterboard (the bigger the better) to a white painters cap, available for cheap at most craft and hardware stores. Complete with a dour facial expression.

Upgrades:

DIY your bonnet for a more authentic look using a pattern like this one

Halloween stores everywhere mean you can find a proper red cloak pretty easily this time of year.

Add a plain canvas bag. Stitching up a totebag is one of the easiest sewing projects there is.

Closet Cosplay: Once GoT’s costumer revealed her source for the Night’s Watch furry capes, it became an instant meme and a DIYer’s dream. The key to taking the black is, unsurprisingly, wearing lots of black. Black pants, black shirt, black belt, black cape, black gloves. (No hat though. Anybody else notice that? People in the north rarely cover their heads. WTF is up with that?) You don’t have to use the officially sanctioned IKEA product, use any shaggy rug you can find, spray it black if need be, and throw it around your shoulders. This look goes best with five o’clock shadow and a surly expression.

Upgrades:

If you’re willing to make the investment,  here are IKEA’s official instructions on making the furry cape.

As with the Link/Zelda costume, the more straps, the better.

As Adult Halloween is mostly about costumes and drinking, make sure to get yourself a fun tankard or drinking horn to carry around/clip to your belt.

Closet Cosplay: If the Season 7 malarkey surrounding the death of SPOILER didn’t put you off watching the show, this one may be for you. It’s easy to put together from existing pieces in your wardrobe but iconic enough to be reconizable. Jeans, leather jacket, and a red scarf (or even a bandana) around the neck are the key pieces. Don’t forget Lucille! DIY some barbed wire using dark yarn and this tutorial and wrap it around any old baseball bat you have.

Upgrades:

If you’re not going to need the bat again, might as well bloody it up with some fake blood from a Halloween store.

This is one where a group costume can work well. If your friends are into it, check out images from Season 7 to have your friends find their lookalikes in the cast. Bonus points if anyone can pull off a Glenn or Abraham look.

Closet Cosplay: Season 5, which aired this summer, definitely went outside the norm for this show and the costumes ran the gamut, so there are lots of options to choose from. Start with the basic khaki look (you can a set of khaki scrubs anywhere pretty cheap) and make your own ID badge, or go without. Accessorize with a gray or white undershirt (long or short sleeve) or gray hoodie. This is really one of the easiest, comfiest costumes out there.

Upgrades:

Modify the look based on any of the character’s variations on the uniform. For sexy, try Flaca & Maritza’s schoolgirl looks. Add glasses and go for Alex’s sleeveless Rosie the Riveter version. Crazy short hair and thrift store glasses on a chain can turn you into Red. The possibilities are endless.

For another variation, use black pants, a blue button down shirt, and your own accessories to make a modified C.O.’s uniform like Cindy or Allison.

Closet Cosplay: It couldn’t be easier to recreate the look from Rick & Morty’s most popular season 3 episode. All you need are green clothes, green face paint, a green ski cap, and a bad attitude. For true authenticity, you’ll have to lay on the ground and only move by rolling around, so it’s a great choice if you just wanna be lazy.

Upgrades:

You can go as nuts as you want with the mods on this one and they’ll all work, since Pickle Rick’s existence went through multiple stages. Try Halloween stores for fake bones and blood to dress up your costume. Various crafting scraps can help with the look of his repurposed vermin limbs. Use gray/pink socks and gloves for the hands and feet.

Don’t forget his accessories. You’ll need a brown belt with a couple of holsters containing giant batteries and his shoulder mounted laser cannon. Use your imagination and a lot of cardboard and spray paint.

Extra bonus points if you get a teenage kid to follow you around wearing a yellow shirt and jeans.

Whatever you choose to go as, have fun this Halloween. I’d love to see what you dress up as, so tweet me pics!
