Challenge #00599 - A234: The Worst Levels of Fame
“All the geniuses I ever met were so just part of the time. To qualify, you only have to be great once, you know. Once when it matters.”
He’d called it the Spline Actuator out of self-amusement and it turned out to be the most useful tool in the Galactic Standard Toolbox. It had spread virally across the Galactica alliance as thousands of JOATs made their own from equally viral how-to-make-it videos.
Every now and again, someone remembered

Building Bitzer part 2.
The mask featured here is a test platform on which I will experiment with different levels of paint-to-crackle ratio.
Even after all the care and attention to detail, I still wound up with black paint on parts of my body 9_9 But at least I was careful enough not to get any on my clothes. Yay me.
The roller made painting the mask a very quick process, and any small areas got filled in with the help

Challenge #00598 - A233: Aftermath
Thank God you’re safe and I’m going to strangle you with my bare hands.
Rael picked up a forkful of double-chocolate beignets with fruit preserve stuffing a la mode, looked at it critically, and put it back down again.
“Playing with your food?” boggled Nik the Gyiik. “For you, this is a dangerous sign. Is all well?”
He made himself eat because he knew his body needed sustenance. For Gyiik cooking, this was almost sacrilege. “

Read more »If you use YouTube, you need to know this.
You’ve heard all these rumblings about Net Neutrality over the past several months. Let’s get real: this is about controlling online video. It is estimated that by 2017, video content will account for 80-90% of all global Internet traffic.
This isn’t just about not being able to binge-watch a series on Netflix. It’s about the future of online video as we know it.

Making Bitzer’s Heart part 1.
This is the designated sacrificial heart, in which we are going to bugger everything up while we figure out how to transform it into a magic opal.
I secured these hearts thanks to geekhyena [Hi! Let me know when that Paypal goes through :D ] and the postage and handling cost five times the amount the hearts did - give or take a few bucks.
The obvious first problem is that the light cover is white

Challenge #00597 - A232: Detective Work
“We have advanced to new and surprising levels of bafflement.”
The body in the vents was hundreds of years old. Dating back to some of the last territorial wars that occurred in or near Cuidgari space. Tracking down the insignia remaining on the body required nosing around in the Archivaas networks.
Something which Lyr had drafted Rael for on Hours Plus. In this case, Hours, plus food and lodging. The food part was going to set her back a great

An attempt at discussing the weather:
“My, the vacuum is hard out today…”
There is something about human nature that compels them to look up at the stars. And, once in space, staring out a window at them will suffice. Shayde had managed to perform both, thanks to a pillow pit in this particular lounge.
The faintly luminous cushions gave enough light to find her by. Lounges like this were deliberately dim so that observers could see the stars as

A Mother's Curse, used elsewhere
Someday, [name], I hope you live to have a dozen subordinates just like you.
(#00595 - A230)
T'reka didn’t understand the curse. Not in her youth, when she’d innocently said, “Oh that would be delightful.” And not now, when she had achieved half a dozen subordinates, one of them human.
Her five Numidid scientists, including one student-underling - Tyrtyr, sought only to perform their tasks as carefully and precisely as possible. Even the human, Wila, endeavoured

Challenge #00594 - A229: Peggy deCulco
“The [name] family motto might as well be, Anything worth achieving is worth overachieving”.
She could see the immigration clerk’s eyes widen at the name on the galactic passport.
“You’re a deCulco?”
“I’ve spent my life being the black sheep of the family,” she smiled. “You can relax.”
Not that there was much trouble to be expected at a station called Podunk. She wanted to disappear. Become someone else. Be anything
