Hop on the road southwest from Sarajevo and the rolling, green landscape dries up, becoming something rockier and more reminiscent of Colorado. The Neretva snakes under and alongside the highway. Vineyards emerge. You'd think the sun grew a thousand times larger, the heat is so magnified.
Mostar seems older than the home base behind us. Its narrow, cobblestone streets require some careful maneuvering; even dry, their soapy limestone is a formidable challenge. The river bisects town, and the landmark bridge, connecting two original towers at each of its sides, stands proudly intact after its 2004 UNESCO reboot. Just as its been for centuries, young men hover over its rails and take the 78-foot drop into the mere 15 feet of water below. It's theatrical, and terrifying. We grab lunch at the riverside, attempting to catch some video. When the sun goes down, old town becomes irresistibly romantic.
Initially, there was a typical sense of indifference to us as foreigners. But when we made our way to the river bank and started to take things in, we noticed Mostar had wrapped its arms around us.
The city takes its name from the word most, meaning bridge. The mostari, or bridge keepers, are its people. And apparently, they live to swim, hang out on the river bank, and jump off of things. (Is it too late to change my life plan?) The annual bridge diving competition was in swing, and thousands of people from all over Bosnia and the world were gathered to swim, dive off the rocks, ingest healthy amounts of beer, dance, and watch as the most skilled of the locals—and some brave visitors—jumped the bridge. A graceful, eagle-approaching-its kill form seemed to earn the highest marks. Mostaris on the bank were unbelievably friendly, upbeat, and generous; food and drink were shared freely. I am cheered on by a chorus of strangers each time I dive off the bank, and despite my significant fear of heights, find myself jumping—or, rather, falling—off the 45-foot practice platform. Of all moments in my experience in this country, I have never felt more welcome, more infected by positivity, than I do now.
Sure, there's no shortage of ethnic tension here. The city's Bosniak and Croat majorities defiantly blare the adhan and church bells at each other throughout the day. Telephone poles are plastered with obituary flyers, always in Muslim and Catholic pairs, to illustrate an equality of loss. Elections haven't been held here in eight years, though they were supposed to in 2008 and 2014, due to strong nationalist agendas in both parties and Croatian meddling in local politics. But there's this sense of enduring local pride here that I don't feel in Sarajevo, Srebrenica, or Tuzla. It's joyous. It's hopeful. It's the stuff that civil society is built of.

We're starting to ask some new questions at Wieuca. Or, more appropriately, we're increasing our focus on questions that churches have been asking for a long time. What do we have to offer our community? Where is the real need in our neighborhood? How can we serve our church members and our neighbors in a way that makes a real impact for God in their lives?
The simple answer is that we offer salvation through Jesus Christ, a supportive community for Christian growth and discipleship, and an effective platform from which to reach the unchurched. But our answers need to go beyond what we do to how we do it. And they need to reflect a burning desire to understand those we seek to minister to. We need to know how to share the burdens of our community and provide God-driven answers and support to help our neighbors meet the challenges of their everyday lives.
As churches seek to be effective outposts for God's mission in their communities, they must engage in constant assessment. The questions we ask don't change, but the answers change constantly.
The answers change because the giftedness and capability of our congregation changes. The passion and God-given mission of our particular kingdom outpost changes. Externally, the demographic make-up of our community changes. The cultural norms and religious identity of our neighbors change. And assumptions about and familiarity with what it means to be part of a Christian community changes.
As we start to think with renewed focus about how to best serve our neighbors, let me offer my preliminary thoughts. First, like many congregations, we serve in a community where, for the most part, the physical and material needs of our neighbors are already met, often in abundance. Most people would look at a neighborhood like ours and assume that most of the families around our church lack for nothing. I don't think that's true, though.
We live in a neighborhood where families are often over-scheduled, over-stressed, and over-extended. To make matters worse, traditional structures of family support like stay-at-home parents and extended families are in short supply. Although we don't always see it on the outside, we live in a neighborhood where families often lack the social support structures necessary to make sure that their mental, emotional and spiritual health needs are met.
What if we could offer to meet the emotional and spiritual needs of our community with the same abundance that their physical and material needs are often met?
Christian community is about more than sharing in religious instruction and spiritual experience. It's about sharing life together. It's about chili cook-offs and movie nights and small group fellowship and basketball games in the gym and family trips to the zoo and bridge clubs and senior safety seminars. It's about helping people create space for God and family in their lives.
It's about providing a supportive framework for families when the treadmill starts to run a little too fast. It's about helping empty nesters adjust to new realities—and new freedoms—when children leave home. It's about connecting senior adults to Christian communities that provide outlets for service and fellowship.
God is present in every aspect of our lives and God is honored when we mutually commit ourselves to building supportive relationships with each other. That's what the "Connect." portion of our "Worship.Connect.Serve." strategy is all about.
We're committed to finding new and better ways for you to connect with other Wieucans because we know that as we connect with each other we give God new opportunities to connect with us and grow our community. In the coming weeks and months, look for opportunities to get more connected to this community and help us as we dream about new ways for Wieuca to meet the often unseen but always compelling needs of our neighbors. Everybody wins—God's kingdom included—when we invest in each other.

Aaray was glad to be out of her armor and into plain clothes, she knew most Mandos lived by their armor, but she just didnt enjoy being cooped up in it too long. She sat down cross legged and forced herself to relax; a lot had happened recently, she needed to think. She tried to imagine the mission tomorrow, but kept coming back to her parents. Her parents and Komrk. She thought about the former for a long time, her mind and heart trying to find a common ground to fix it up.
Tomorrow, I will comm them, Ill tell them that Im not sorry about what Im doing, but I still love them. The sound of her voice in the quiet startled her for a moment. Then she moved on, and had no idea what to think. He made her head whirl, she had never been in a situation like this before. So many different feelings sprung up that she couldnt sort them out. She hadnt know him long enough to really love him, but she didnt deny that there was something. Youre going to have to do something eventually. she shook her head, the last thought she had before finally falling asleep was that she still had no idea what was wrong with her psychometry.
Komrk moved the stack of armor plates into the corner, and collapsed on the bed. His head was swirling with emotions; his brain trying to process all that had happened that day.
To aid his slumber, he tried to think of Shushai, but an image of Aaray pulled his thoughts from his sister and to the stunningly beautiful Kiffar. He couldnt think straight.
His mind taunted him:
This is what you get for getting involved with a woman.
He ripped his thoughts back to the mission at hand. He caught a fleeting glimpse of some panoramic premonition: burgundy dragged away by green-and-yellow, yellow-and-red screaming for the faded-grey dueling with innumerable white.
What did it mean? Why? Was it bad?
He knocked the thoughts from his mind and turned over in his bed, finally embracing sleep.
* * * * * * * *
The morning had passed, Komrk had awaken several times, finally sleeping the night away in a chair; he groggily arose and walked into the cockpit. He caught himself before instinctively sitting in the pilots chair: Aaray was seated in his spot.
Frak. I almost sat on you.
Id prefer if you didnt, this is hot chocolate. She held up a cup as she looked him over, Youre not overly fond of the armor either?
Not really. Too stuffy, encumbering.
She nodded and got up, Want some? She gestured to the cup as she moved to the co-pilots seat.
Ill pass. So...
Yeah. That was...
Aaray stared into her cup for a little while, then drank, Why did you do it?
I honestly...dont know. I had a thought, then I guess I just did it.
I dont...know. But I do care, you know.
Aaray felt something inside her flip, Youre the first then.
* * * * * * * *
Komrk leaned back in his chair: the trip to the Star Destroyer would take awhile. He glanced over at Aaray, then stood and walked to his bedroom. He would pass the time by tinkering with his weaponry.
* * * * * * * *
Shushai ParjaiKote leaned her head against the bulkhead of her cell, deep in the bowels of
She was expecting another visit from Captain Caton Brower, the portly third-in-command of the ship; this time, however, she would
something. She wouldnt cower, she wouldnt lie to protect herself: she would escape. She would
if she so wished.
* * * * * * * *
Komrk sat on the bed in his bedroom, a Verpine Sniper Rifle on his lap, the scope in between his gloves. He tinkered with the reticule, then placed the scope on the rail of the gun, aiming it at the wall. He adjusted a setting, then set the gun down on the bed, picking up his WESTAR-34s and tinkering with it as well. He gasped as his eyes flashed an image. His mind involuntarily grasped the thought and processed it.
He saw a yellow-red figure screaming his name: Shushai. He saw a burgundy figure dragged away by another figure in green and yellow: Aaray and...Boba Fett? The innumerable white: stormtroopers.
Ive got a bad feeling about this...
* * * * * * * *
Aaray heard a tweedle behind her, Hey little guy. The droid made more noise, Im sorry, but I have no idea what youre saying.
Dos toddled into the room. --He is concerned about your length of staying. Consequently, so am I.--
What seems to be the problem with it?
--You have been on this ship for quite some time now. Would you care to explain?--
Im helping rescue Komrks sister. It was easier than having two ships.
--I find it hard to believe that Master Komrk would allow a female onto his ship. The probability of it is 314,159,265 to one.--
You worked the odds?
--I am a droid, Mistress...er...--
Im Aaray Tracyn.
--Mistress Aaray. My purpose is to calculate.--
But why that specifically?
--I find it unreasonable that Master Komrk would allow someone, nonetheless female, onto his ship, after all the females that have tried to seduce him.--
This is really bugging you, isnt it?
--Your presence, yes.--
Odds arent everything. Think of it like this, theres always a one.
--Your synapses exceed mine in imaginative thinking.--
Synapses send the impulse, they dont form it.
Congratulations. You passed his test. Not very many people do,
Komrk said, leaning against the wall, his helmet attached to his belt.
How long have you been standing there?
How long do you think?
She shrugged, I think I scare your droid.
He has a problem with the physiology of a female. It drives him insane, which is hard for a droid.
Id suggest reprogramming him, but I get the feeling its your fault anyway.
Whatever you say. By the way, we have thirty minutes.
Im not going to lie to you, I get the feeling this wont end well. Im not very confident about it.
Maybe, maybe, but either way...
You know something, dont you?
You think I actually know what Im doing?
No, but I do think theres something youre not telling me.
I do have a feeling.
Tell me, her tone between questioning and commanding.
I feel like...like Im going to lose you. And I dont want to lose you. Not now.
He pulled her in close, their lips meeting again. This time, he had no regrets, no doubts.
Aaray didnt freeze now, she moved closer, as close as she could get now that her armor wasnt there. She felt his hands slide around her waist, she felt everything. Her heart pounded so loud she could barely hear. She didnt know whether this felt like electricity or fire, but regardless, she shuddered with pleasure.
Komrk moved his hands closer together, tightening the caress, clutching tightly around the Kiffars small frame. He needed to enjoy this. His thinking was almost epicurean, contrasted from the philosophy of his grandparents: refrain from gluttony, it was wrong, take things slowly.
The devil on his shoulder that was his desires screamed in excitement; the angel that was his ancestors thinking dissipated from his shoulder. His memories flashed desperately in a last ditch effort to the repeated denials of many a female--he wondered if he had made a mistake. His body, satiated with the fact that he had not, told him to proceed, which he eagerly did. His mind agreed: she wasnt trying to seduce him. He marveled at that. He purposed in his mind: the attempts of all the sultry Zeltrons in the galaxy could not deter him from what he was pursuing at the current moment. And they wouldnt, couldnt. Not when hed come this far.
Dos shifted uncomfortably as the two continued their embrace, then turned to R5.
--This is why I would not permit females to board my ship. It always ends like this. Frankly, my nuts-and-bolts companion, I am glad I am a droid.--
A tirade of tweedles and beeps interrupted the osculation; Komrk glared at the bipedal medical droid and tri-wheeled astromech.
I guess I forgot about the droids...
--Master, if I may interject upon this...tense moment, we have approximately twenty-five minutes until arrival.--
He nodded toward the hallway. He grabbed her hand and led her into the corridor.
Frak, we need to get ready.
Will you do me a favor?
Can I use your comm for a minute?
Sure. Why...?
My parents, if I dont make it back...
He unpocketed the comlink and handed it to her.
Take as long as you need, but we only have twenty-four minutes.
* * * * * * *
Komrk sat back in the pilots chair, his head reclining on his chest. The Verpine Sniper Rifle that rested next to him would get limited action in this battle, but he would take it anyway, if only to give it to Shushai when they broke her out. She would need a weapon, he reasoned.
The fact that his vision featured Boba Fett scared him. What was the unusually moral bounty hunter doing on a ship in the Naboo system? That was certainly a factor to consider. Would he be able to kill the famed Mandalorian? Or was this just assurance of his death?
Either way, he had kindled a relationship with a Kiffar he had met only two days. What
Shushai say? Would she encourage it? Or would she reject Aaray?
Komrk ParjaiKote II had doubts about the mission that would happen in less than twenty minutes. He would kill the Imperial officer, even if it meant his death. Of that, he was sure.
The rest? He was in turmoil. Shushai was guarded by an unknown amount of stormtroopers, and he wasnt sure if he and Aaray could take them all down.
Komrk stepped into the bedroom, the door
closed behind him. The stack of armor plates was still there where he had left it. He sat down on the bed and ceremoniously placed each one in its place on his vest and jumpsuit. Finally, he placed the helmet on his head again. The rush of binary and byte streams materialized into a coherent image, the icons cycling through the weapons on his person. He was ready.
* * * * * * *
Shushai glanced out of the cell, then ducked back behind the wall. Boba Fett.
Even if Komrk was on his way to rescue her, would he be able to get through him, regardless of the infinite stormtroopers Brower could throw at him. Unless her brother had found some help, he wasnt going to survive long enough to see her, let alone rescue her. Maybe she could help...
* * * * * * *
Aaray sighed as she put on her boots. The mental timer in her head hit fifteen. She flopped down on the bed armour and all. She needed to work this out
or she would go into a fight distracted, something she didnt want at all. She was aware her culture was live fast die hard, but forging a relationship with someone in two days seemed a little extreme even then. She had her doubts about how far this could go and how long it would last. Blast it, how did this happen?
A random thought passed through her mind, their number one problem would be getting on the ship unnoticed, but if had a legitimate reason to show up...
Pieces fell into place, brute force wouldnt work here, they were far too outnumbered. But stealth just might. Aaray grabbed her helmet, the last piece of her armour and ran through the Star Destroyers specs againit could work.
Offhandedly she wondered if this was her way of getting around her nerves, but she dismissed it; nothing was set in stone, bad feelings can just be bad feelings. She shook herself free of pessimism, went back to work; it had been a long time since shed had this nice a challenge.
* * * * * * *
Komrk sat down into the pilots chair, his chronometer showing he had ten minutes until they arrived. He ran through the plan while impatiently waiting for Aaray to finish her call why did women take so long to do everything?
Deep in his mind, he scolded himself for passing some of his anxiety onto the Kiffar: he didnt know why he was suddenly so nervous. Was it Aaray? Shushai? Both? Why?
He snapped out of it.
Focus, Komrk. Youre just taking on a Star Destroyer with only the help of a Kiffar you barely know. Nothing too major.
Komrk! You need to hear this! Aaray rushed in, obliterating the quiet.
What is it?
The plan, I reworked it. I think it definitely increases our chance of success, even gives you a shot at the low-life that started this.
I like it. What do you have in mind?
Well, sneaking in and fighting through a hanger would be very hard, what if you called and said you were delivering the heads of the Rebels? I could sneak out from there, you could draw attention.
get Brower. Alright.
Since when do you know his name?
Since he commed me. I never felt the urge to tell you.
Glad to know I rank so highly in your book.
You never...asked?
You never said I had to ask.
Komrk sighed.
So I go in under the guise that Ive got the Rebel leaders, you drop in and have some fun in the bowels of the ship, and I go pummel our friend to death. I like it.
But after you kill him, if I dont have your sister and alarms start going off well have a problem.
So drop everything and rendezvous at the hangar? Ill have Dos get the ship out of danger.
No, you wait for alarms about an escaped prisoner, then kill him.
Again, Im okay with it.
Aaray milled over details for a moment, Okay then. Oh, heres your comm. She tossed it onto the control panel
Thanks. Weve got...six minutes.
Youre not going to ask how it went?
I usually leave personal details to the person in question.
Well they didnt answer, so it doesnt really matter.
Okay. Well, shame they dont know you could very well die...
Your comforting words greatly ease my plight, her voice was totally deadpan.
Dos toddled into the cockpit, and nervously made a sound entirely unlike clearing his throat, a trait Komrk had tried to teach the 2-1B medical droid.
Yes, Dos?
--The Star Destroyer is within targeting distance. We are also within maximum tractor beam distance.--
Call them now, if they ask Why the wait, just snark about how you didnt want an ambush waiting.
Alright. Moment of truth.
Komrk punched in a series of commands, and, after a screech, he was patched into the Star Destroyers comm systems.
--Unknown freighter, this is Star Destroyer
, please state your business.--
Undaunted, this is freighter
Victorys Revenge II
, requesting landing. I am returning a bounty from Captain Caton Brower.
--We...do not know what you are saying...--
I am returning a bounty. You do
want me to get angry.
--Understood, freighter. Activating tractor beam...--
The freighter lurched, and then moved without any direction, until it made its way closer to the hangar.
Aaray...you might want to see this...
Hmm? She looked over toward the hangar bay.
Guess whose ship is parked in the hangar?
That was
part of the plan. She isnt pretty, is she?
Erm...I wouldnt know...maybe? Why?
Aaray shrugged, Guess I was expecting someone like Boba Fett to keep his ship in better condition.
Either way, were screwed.
A/N: And with that touching sentiment we end Chapter Five.

Pardon the double-post, but just giving an update.
Due to Shereshoy's vacation, we obviously have been unable to post the next part.
But, rest assured, faithful reader (yes, that means you, even if you don't post >_>), as soon as Shereshoy returns and is somewhat accustomed to normal life again, we shall write for your ever-impatient enjoyment!

swiveled into the hangar, parking next to
Slave I
Alright, Aaray. You know where she is. Find her. Feel free to slot any of the expert marksmen that round the corner.
I wasnt aware I needed your permission.
Whatever. With our luck, Fett dragged some Journeyman Protectors with him. Great. Alright. If you dont hear from me in thirty minutes, get to the ship. Dos will get you out of there.
Or carry on because youre waiting for my signal, not the other way around.
Fine. See you around. Hopefully with Shushai in tow.
I suppose if anything goes wrong you can go all mystic guardian on me.
Feel that? That was me poking you with the Force.
Very funny, my Basic must have failed me,I heard an intelligent, reasonable statement. I really need to practice more.
Its what you get for trying to think me a rational person.
Here they come, I can hear them.
Alright. See you.
The boarding ramp
open and a squad of pristine white Stormtroopers entered the ship with the subtlety and harmlessness of a blizzard. Sir, weve been given orders to take you to one of the conference rooms. And to ask you leave any weapons here.
Give me a minute, then.
The whole group shuffled for a minute like they all shared one mind, Very well then.
Komrk dropped the Verpine rifle on the ground, as well as one WESTAR. He kept the other in his boot, as well as the
Aaray saw her window and took it. Her armour had a very limited cloaking field on it, she decided to see just how far she could push it. She ran behind the troopers and into the hanger. Her helmet pointed her to the nearest computer console, there she could find out exactly where she was headed.
The troopers moved as one behind the Mandalorian as they led him to the conference room. They walked past featureless corridors, passing many a stormtrooper and officer. Eventually, they reached the conference room, and guided him inside.
Caton Brower grinned as the Mandalorian walked into the room, a dark.look on his face.
Where is the female?
Komrk lied.
She died within minutes of our assault. I did bring the heads of the leaders.
Good; that alien scum wasnt needed anyway. We will negotiate your payment and the release of your sibling.
Cell 2469. Aaray wondered for a moment how the cells got their number, but dismissed the thought. No alarms, thats got to be a plus. She rounded a corner and ran right into a passing guard. The impact threw her fragile cloak off and she was left staring at a very surprised liability. What is the meaning of this? She didnt bother answering, just shot him where he stood. Now it would get interesting; she broke into a sprint. The synchronized clomp of boots approached as she left.
Komrk rolled his eyes under his helmet: Brower was simply spouting nonsense. And he called the entire Kiffar species scum. Whatever respect as a man Komrk had left for the captain was gone. Abruptly, the door opened, and in stepped the worst possible person at the worst possible time.
And you are?
Komrk ParjaiKote. What are you doing here?
Captain Brower had some business for me. And you?
Eliminating a Rebel cell. Not that its worth anything to you.
Boba Fett ignored the other Mandalorian, and glanced at Brower.
Anything else for me, Captain?
No, Fett.
The mood in the room tensed as a lackey barged into the conference room.
Captain, we have an officer down near the detention level. Course of action?
The captains eyes shifted and focused on the Mandalorian in grey.
ParjaiKote, do you have something to do with this? At this very moment, I could pull up the surveillance footage from that very sector.
Komrk tried to maintain his calm:
I have no idea what you are talking about, Brower.
Fett positioned himself between Komrk and the door; Brower reached down, and with surprising strength for a man of his paunch, hauled Komrk from the chair and against the wall.
You know this intruder. I know you do.
You dont know what youre talking about, you thieving fool. I came prepared.
Komrk pulled a beskad from his boot in a well-practiced move, and brought it to Browers neck, turning the tables. The lackey instinctively pulled his sidearm; Fett pulled his EE-3. Komrk pulled his WESTAR with his free hand and fired one shot at the lackey, the smoking hole in the cranium confirming the kill.
Fett fired a burst at Komrk, the three-bolt streak aimed for the head. The momentum of Fetts draw acted negatively; one hit Komrk below the shoulder plate, the other two bounced off of the shoulder plate and into the bulkhead. Komrk grimaced, dropped Brower, and took the opportunity to bolt toward the door.
Blaring alarms did not help her concentrate. Aaray had given up sprinting and was now just running. The door appeared in front of her. The lock took about four seconds to pick. More alarms rang out. Red light flooded the corridor and her adrenaline spiked. Sucuy? Anyone here?
The weak voice from inside the cell answered, Ni olar, meg gar?
Aaray Tracyn, and now would be a very good time to get very far away.
The alarms blared a little louder, Like five seconds ago now.
Youre right...do you have a weapon?
Actually, right now Im having having to use random stormtroopers blasters because mine got hit. Theyre not as bad as youd think.
Youre a conversational person, arent you?
In high stress situations, yes. On average, not really.
Hm. So no weapons. Ill hide in here then.
Aaray never cursed, she took it as an uncreative way to deal with problems. But after today she could understand peoples use of them. This was beginning to get repetitive. Shoot, kill, make progress, hope you got to the end of the hall alive. It was almost depressing. Nothing like the smell of burning ozone to trigger deep thought.
Over here! She groaned.
A shot rang out and the air around her buzzed. Missed again, really, thought you guys were better than that. More blaster fire, now she had their location pinned. Sounds like... twelve. What I wouldnt give for a grenade right about now.
Komrk staggered out of the conference room, and ran into the hallway. The surprisingly deserted hallway was occupied only by the squad of six stormtroopers that had brought him here. They glanced at him, then lurched into a ready position as he sliced the throat of the one holding his Verpine Sniper Rifle, grabbed it, and fired at the other five. In the blink of an eye, only the Mandalorian remained standing. Komrk clutched his shoulder, grabbed his second WESTAR as the spurt of adrenaline wore off. His wound flared again, so he broke into a run toward the cell block. He found the first door, and hacked his way best he could into it.
The door led him to a maintenance hallway, a dimly lit, scarlet-bathed corridor of durasteel and bulkhead. He opened up the schematic on his HUD, grimaced as his wound flashed, then tried to find a way to Aaray.
Caton Brower fixed his collar; this Mandalorian was a tough one. He nodded to Fett, then opened the door. Outside lay the bodies of the six stormtroopers who had brought the Mandalorian. One of them had died from a slash wound to the throat, probably from the saber Mandalorians were notorious for carrying; the rest had died with a slug in their chest, center mass, probably killed before they could react. He would personally dismember him. He knew it.
He called out to a passing sergeant who seemed to care less about the carnage before him.
Get me six squads on the double. Have them converge on the detention level. I presume the source of this carnage as well as our officers assassin are working together. We will wipe them out.
The sergeant nodded, and darted the opposite way. Brower turned around, and glanced at the silent bounty hunter.
Do you know this Mandalorian?
No, I dont. But while I dont condone his reckless abandon, I do appreciate his resolve to do what he wants.
So you applaud the destruction of an entire squad worth of resources? I could have Vader upon you in a millisecond.
Vader could try to kill me, nothing more; however, we are wasting time.
Komrk was at the detention level. Unfortunately, already he had encountered another squad, presumably looking for Aaray. He had no comms, so he was basically flying blind. He peered around the corner, then sneaked quietly down the hall. According to his helmet schematics, he wasnt too terribly far off from Shushais presumed location.
The sounds of blasterfire ahead resounded off the walls. He sighed to himself: the Kiffar would
give up. He placed his Sniper Rifle snugly in the crook of his shoulder, and advanced toward the echoes.
Shushai ducked behind the bulkhead, and wildly wondered what the female Mandalorian trying desperately to clear the hallway was doing here. Was she affiliated with Komrk? Or was she a reckless bandit who suicidally decided to amble into a Star Destroyer and free a prisoner?
Abruptly, more stormtroopers began falling, either a beskad to the chest or a slug to the back of the helmet.
The last grunt fell, and the grey-decked Mandalorian appeared. Aaray appeared to loosen visibly, and walked toward the male. Shushai stood and crossed her arms.
Glad you chose to show up. It just wasnt a party without you.
So I see you found yourself a
, brother.
The filtered voice answered back,
Its not what it looks like, Shuika...
So shes more than a companion, Komrk? You know that Buir would not approve.
Buir is
, Shushai! You decided to get into trouble, when I explicitly told you not to leave Mandalore; and youre getting on to me for finding a female that
want to exploit me? Im sorry I have a free will.
Aaray cleared her throat, Still here you know, She murmured.
Shushai cast a glare at Aaray. She sighed and spoke again. Komrk, you know thats not what I meant. I was just concerned about you. You had been pretty down the days before you left.
Komrk raised his hand, ending the discussion. He clutched his shoulder, and Shushai gazed worriedly at the wound.
Im fine, Shuika. Fett hit me--
The hissing of the bulkhead signaled the renewal of the firefight. He dropped into a crouch, and Shushai followed suit.
Shushai, here. Take this.
He handed her the Verpine, and pulled his WESTARs.
Youll need it. Aaray, weve got two choke points at the ends of the hallway. I cleared one end, if we want to head that way. Shushai can take them out from long distance, and we can focus on getting out of here.
Caton Brower glared at the stormtroopers waiting to enter the detention corridor. He understood that within was imminent death, but he expected them to do their duty. If only he had some clones from the Republic. He heard they did their duty without question.
The bulkhead hissed open, and the stormtroopers filed into the hallway. A deadly hail of slugs and blaster bolts cut down most of them, so Brower ducked into cover. Fett unslung his EE-3 and let off several bursts at the trio of Mandalorians.
Komrk ducked as a new staccato of blasterfire entered the fray. He tried to not get killed and protect Aaray, who was hacking the door open, at the same time.
How long until youre finished? There are
too many of them...
How about now? Lets go.
Fine. Shushai, send em a frag.
Shushai nodded, took the thermal detonator her brother had offered, and threw it down the hallway. The door hissed open, and they stepped through.
Sir! Theyve entered at the other end of this corridor! We confirm three intruders.
Fett, encircle them!
Ill do what I please.
Boba Fett lowered his weapon, nodded to the majority of the stormtroopers, and led them back down the hallway.
A clang resounded down the hall. Aaray turned her head to listen. Frack!
What was that? Shushai asked, nervously clutching the Sniper Rifle.
Lots of troopers, and someone not wearing the same boots. Not good.
We need to figure something out. No handy ventilation shafts...yup. Going to have to stand and fight.
No, wed never hold out. You two go, Ill cover.
No way. You take Shuika, Ill hold them off.
She shook her head, Not going to happen. Im using one of their blasters, I can use the deads ammo, I have a chance. We came here for your sister, take her and go.
Im not leaving without you. Not now.
I- I... A shout this time, closer, I dont have time to argue, just go. Please.
Komrk looked to Shushai, as if for guidance.
Are you sure you want us to leave, Aaray?
We dont have a choice. Im sorry. So sorry, I- A shot sounded. Aaray shot one look back at them, then ran off.
Komrk shouted in grief, a final
before pulling himself away and turning. He opened the door again, and raised his WESTARs at the remaining stormtroopers, blindly guided by fury. He tore through too many of them, noticing the fleeing Brower. He squeezed several shots off, but was stopped by a stormtrooper who took the bullets. Shushai helped as best she could by taking down the stragglers, but when the enemy was dead, she could not help but notice her brother wasting rounds on already-deceased stormtroopers.
Komrk, stop! Theyre dead! We need to get to the ship! She said, placing a hand on his shoulder.
He ignored her, and ran toward the opposite doorway.
Purple static laced itself over Aarays burgundy armor. Her helmet whined and screeched. Blinding black and white covered the HUD. She threw it off, disregarding safety. The rancid smell, the searing heat, and deafening sounds of the plasma from the enemys blasters dulled her now unshielded senses. Surrender! The Empire will accept your surrender, and you shall be rewarded with a swift death. A voice, filtered to sound like a million of his peers scraped above the carnage. His answer was an energy bolt through the weak spots in his armor. Aaray bent down over the body to retrieve the fallens ammunition, she had to keep going. If it was the last thing she did, which it probably would be, she had to keep going. She had made this choice, shed stick with it to the end. Whatever end that may be.
The hangar bay. The ship was within sight. Unfortunately, Brower was smart enough to have two squadrons guarding it. Komrk nodded to Shushai, and she placed a round in each of the twelve stormtroopers heads. She was accurate--deadly accurate, he gave her that.
They were home free, twenty yards, fifteen yards, ten...suddenly Komrk dropped. Shushai dropped into a ready stance. The stormtrooper that had sneaked in unsuspectedly had landed a shot to Komrks side. Shushai raised the Sniper Rifle, and fired. She grabbed her brothers arm, and dragged him the rest of the way to the boarding ramp. She pressed the button on her gauntlet, and the ramp lowered. She struggled into the ship, and deposited Komrk in the bedroom for Dos.
She sat down in the pilots chair, and punched the stick forward as soon as she was off the ground. She needed to escape the tractor beam...
She yanked the stick to the side, and the ship dipped toward the underside of the Star Destroyer. Once there, it hovered, and she punched in coordinates to Mandalore. They would be back.
Dont move. An ominous click resounded from around where Aaray was knelt over the body of the trooper. She lifted her eyes, white boots formed a circle around her position, and judging from the stance, they all had blasters. Moving as quickly as she could she spun to pull the legs out from under the trooper behind her, as she did so she pulled herself up to kick out at the next one. Rings of blue emerged from one of the blasters and the last thing Aaray Tracyn saw was blinding white.

Union Textiles Minister Smriti Irani today unveiled the world's largest cushion at an exhibition here.
At the inauguration of the Heimtexil India fair here today, Irani said India's home textile business this year has contributed 12 per cent to the country's overall shipments globally.
She said the initiative, organised by Messe Frankfurt India, has witnessed a 30 per cent increase in exhibitors this year, which shows the capacity of Indian businesses to come up with new ventures as well as the appetite of the country's consumers or buyers.
India is set to host its first-ever mega textile fair in Gandhinagar on June 30. A total of 180 companies from India, Bangladesh, China, Korea, Thailand and Nepal are participating in the Heimtexil and Ambiente India 2017 fair.

I got a Cherry Culture haul the other day and when I got everything I wasn't too happy with all of it. I really don't like how sometimes they have swatches on some of the polishes and sometimes they don't. It was a bit frustrating. So I ordered based on how I liked their names.
This is three coats and you can still see the VNL.
outdoor at dusk
I really despise sheers, but this one came out pretty good. The polish was thin and went on well.
Next up is a polish from Claire's. It's one of those 4-in-one polishes. This is Hawaii.
This is three coats and it did look different with each coat I did. If you look at my ring finger you will see that it is more orange than the rest of my nails. I had to go over that once more because I got a fuzzy stuck in it :)
This is also a couple days after wearing it. The polish is a bit thick and leaves streaks, but that might be because of the colors combining.
That's it for now, ladies. I did order a bunch of Zoyas so that will be up soon. As well as my Illamasqua order from Sephora and maybe the rest of my Cherry Culture order.
Have a great weekend!

Purchased a new Ducane 92% efficient furnace and love it. Extremely quite and it keeps the house a constant temperature. Our old system was expensive to operate, so we manually turned it on and off. This new Ducane is energy efferent so we let it do the work keeping our family warm. The Ducane is also a lot smaller than the old furnace.

Very unsatisfied. We've been having problems ever since we got it. We had someone to come out twice and even told us there's a defect in the product. We call Ducane Corp. and they said they weren't going to fix it. Now we are stuck with a unit and only been in our new home for a year. Not happy at all. Do not purchase this unit. Poor customer service.

I had a new Ducane oil burning furnace installed back in '98 (don't know model # at this time). I was told it was comparable to a Trane, that there was no difference. I had it serviced every year. I started having trouble with it a couple years ago. The technician said the blower motor was trashed and had to be replaced. Last year the controller pc board died, and the tech couldn't find a replacement because Ducane changed the board and did NOT make it backwards compatible to older units like mine. He found a used board off an old unit. Now the pc board and the transformer are dead, and I'm being told its best just to buy a whole new furnace. If I do, it won't be a Ducane!

The Yeti's Finger
The Yeti's Finger was a doc I made for Radio 4 earlier this year - but it was only broadcast on 27th Dec. BBC News did a write up. It wasn't my idea, it was wholly the work of Matthew Hill, the BBC Bristol Health correspondent, all I did was put the tapes together. Fascinating it was too. A true journalistic nose led him to this extraordinary tale involving an ancient finger of a Yeti, James Stewart the actor and an oil tycoon. Do have a listen if you have time, its great fun and intriguing. Is it a yeti digit or not? I'd love to think they exist.

Window makers' dispute set to spread to second company in Devon
From Unite
The strikes over pay and shift patterns at Sierra Windows in Paignton, Devon could spread to another company in Newton Abbot, part of the same Specialist Building Products group.
A total of 44 workers at DB Glass at Newton Abbot are being balloted for strike action, as employees at Sierra Windows continue their rolling programme of 48 hour strikes.
The workers at both sites – members of Unite, the country's largest union – have rejected a pay deal for the year April 2016 – April 2017 of 1.5 per cent, but would have only been payable from May 2017.
They are also angry that shifts have been changed unilaterally from five days of seven hours to four days of 12 hours.
Workers at DB Glass – a leading manufacturer of insulated glass units – started balloting for strike action yesterday (Tuesday 9 May). The ballot closes on 23 May.
Meanwhile, the workers at Sierra Windows are striking today (Wednesday 10 May) in their third 48 hour stoppage, with two further 48 hour strikes scheduled for 17 May and 24 May.
The union argues that the shift alteration is either not wanted by the staff because of the adverse impact on the work/life balance or because some will lose money under this new arrangement.
Unite regional coordinating officer Terry Keefe said: "Both these firms – Sierra Windows and DB Glass – are part of Specialist Building Products which is a profitable group.
"The issues at both sites are the same – the paltry pay offer and the imposition of unreasonable new shift patterns.
"Our members at Sierra Windows are striking again today and our members at Newton Abbot are voting on strike action – this dispute is set to spread across Devon.
"To paraphrase Oscar Wilde's Lady Bracknell for the management,
'to have one strike may be regarded as a misfortune; to have two looks like carelessness.'
"We call on the top bosses at Specialist Building Products to knock some sense into the local management at their two firms, so we can hold constructive talks to resolve the issues at the centre of the disputes at Paignton and Newton Abbot.
"Unite is ready 24/7 to take part in such talks."

If you've been following along this whole time, you might remember a post a couple months back about my "chair-ity" work I bombarded myself with. Well, most of the 8 chairs I had stockpiled have been finished. Except for one....
You probably laughed at me when I said not to worry, it would look pretty someday, I promise.
Well, it went from this...
...to this...
See, I told you it would look pretty!!
So, how'd I do it??
After having ripped the entire thing apart, I let it sit in the basement for 3 months while I let ideas marinate in my head (read: I had no idea what to do).
I left myself with a barebones chair and no clue where to even begin.
Finally, I started to clear out old projects that were taking up space, and I had an epiphany about this one. After painting it raspberry pink :) I built 3 individual padded panels for the back of the chair where the holes were. I nailed them into place and added trim all around the edges. I covered the springs with backing material and bought a new cushion that I cut to size. Then i wrapped the material over the cushion and stapled along the edge and then added more trim to hide all the staples.
Of course, pink isn't for everyone, but black just seemed too obvious a choice for this fabric that I really loved. So pink it is! I envision it in a little girl's room or as a cozy corner chair in a cute little eclectic apartment (like mine!).

Even though there are only 4 weeks left at this point I still feel that there is still so much to do. From here on out I will have 3 appointments a week (thankfully 2 of them are on the same day back to back) so when I look at the long list of appointments it still feels like I have FOREVER to go. Have a look for yourself...
Then there's the fact that we are still SO unprepared (#thirdchildproblems). We still don't have a carseat ordered mostly due to the fact that our stroller system only works with a certain type of carseat that just happens to be one of the more expensive styles and I am hoping and holding out to hopefully find one on sale for a decent price. That's another thing I am finding funny/conflicting about this pregnancy is that we are so sure this little guy is our last that I feel this insane urge to splurge because I won't be able to buy these things again, but then the very real feeling to skimp and save on everything because only one baby will use it. It's messing with my head!
So other than the lack of carseat situation I think we are ready to go. I have a handful (or 2 hah!) of wishlist items that I would love to get before his arrival, but honestly we could do without them or at least could get by without them initially. Nothing as dire as a carseat because we need that to get him home haha!
At 35 weeks physically: I am feeling huge and overheated. I am running a few degrees hotter than normal, but that's to be expected when there's a bun in the oven am I right? We haven't had any unbearable days heat wise, but I am already turning the AC on to sleep at night... Austin hasn't complained too much because with our bedroom upstairs it gets pretty warm up there. My tailbone I am pretty sure is broken or dislocated (I know I am being dramatic, but with how much it hurts it HAS to be broken right?!) because it hurts 24/7 if I stand too long or sit too long or stay in any position too long I just about die. I don't know if its just a matter of the little guy's positioning or what, but sheesh I will not miss this part of pregnancy that's for sure. The girls both lived under my ribs which caused different and probably just as painful symptoms (herniated intercostal muscles- ouch!) but at least I didn't have to sit on my ribs haha! So I feel much more acutely aware of this pain and it's harder to ignore.
At 35 weeks mentally/emotionally: I feel my anxiety peaked a few weeks ago and that I am turning a corner with coming to peace/terms with the potential problems/complications that could arise during labor. I am glad I am educated about them, but there is nothing I can do at this point. It will go how it goes and I need to just trust everything will work out the way it's supposed to. I don't know why it took me so long to finally come to this point, but I am glad I'm here now. I am feeling a little stress about the impending induction just because I have only gone into labor naturally so that's a little nerve wracking, but the thought of having all my ducks in a row and knowing exactly when I will be in the hospital will be extremely helpful especially with making sure the girls are taken care of. With both of the girls we went to the hospital within the 3am-4am time frame, which makes finding someone to come last minute not very fun. So it's exciting to avoid that part. Plus that last week of pregnancy where it's a waiting game to go into labor and not knowing when is the worst. Where the only question any one texts or calls is "baby here yet?" "are you still pregnant?" trust me people, you will know when this baby is born. Both Austin and I will be so relieved to have come out the other side of this pregnancy that I am sure we will be shouting it from the roof tops. :)
So for 4 weeks we will happily await this little boy's arrival. He will change all of our lives and we can't wait.
p.s I STILL can't believe we are a having a BOY!

Mobil Commercial Vehicle Lube, Canada
Supreme Performance Transmission Lubricant
Mobil Delvac™ Synthetic Transmission Fluid 50 is a synthetic, manual transmission lubricant engineered to meet the most demanding extended drain and OEM warranty requirements. It is recommended for year-round lubrication of manual transmissions in light to severe duty on- and off-highway equipment operating in a wide range of environments. Designed to provide maximum protection and extended operating life to heavy duty transmissions, Mobil Delvac Synthetic Transmission Fluid 50 provides significant advantages over conventional sulphur-phosphorus gear oils, including outstanding high-temperature performance, oxidation stability, wear protection, and corrosion control.
It has the same viscosity as most SAE 50 engine oils and SAE 90 gear lubricants at the high end of the temperature-viscosity scale, and because of its inherently high viscosity index, it provides stronger film strength at higher temperatures than conventional oils. Mobil Delvac Synthetic Transmission Fluid 50 also ensures effective lubrication at below freezing temperatures without channeling.
The outstanding performance of this product is confirmed by its approval for heavy-duty transmissions covered by Eaton and Extended Warranties of 750,000 miles, with oil drains of 500,000 miles. It is also approved by Mack against its TO-A Plus 500,000 mile extended service classification. Mobil Delvac Synthetic Transmission Fluid 50 meets or exceeds the requirements of the API service MT-1 EP gear oil service classification and is recommended by Imperial Oil for use in transmissions and gear cases where API Service GL-1 through GL-4 gear protection is required.
The performance capabilities of today's heavy-duty on- and off-highway equipment have vastly improved in terms of load, speed, control, and reliability through innovative powertrain designs. These designs have markedly increased the demands on transmission lubricants, requiring them to deliver higher levels of performance while extending drains. For heavy-duty transmissions, friction control, wear protection, thermal stability, shear stability, rust and corrosion protection, and seal protection are features that must be balanced to provide extended gear and synchroniser life, smooth shift control, improved efficiency, and higher load capability over a wide range of applications and operating environments. Mobil Delvac Synthetic Transmission Fluid 50 delivers unequalled performance in today's manual transmissions. The key benefits include:

Some ways to generate electricity for electric cars
Electric cars are emissions free, unless the electric power they use comes from coal power plants. Electric cars are becoming available, and more are planned.
2010 Chevrolet Volt Electric Vehicle
Chevrolet will produce the Volt EV in the 2010-2012 time frame. It is powered by electricity from batteries that will allow the car to travel 40 miles on a single overnight charge. It also has a range extending internal combustion engine designed to run on gasoline, E85, or biodiesel fuels. The engine will give the drivers the confidence to venture out in a electric car, knowing they can drive even if the batteries run out. The turbo-charged three-cylinder engine provides 71 hp, and the electric motor can provide 161 hp. If you commute only 40 miles a day you can save 500 gallons of gasoline a year, saving $1200 after netting out the cost of electricity against $3 gasoline.
2008 Tesla Roadster Electric Car
This sports car can do 0-60 in about 4 seconds. Tesla Motors estimates 250 miles per charge, at a cost for electricity of about 1 cent per mile. Costing $92,000 it will not attract enough consumers to solve the US energy crisis, but it will be fun to drive.
2007 Toyota Prius plug-in hybrid shown to Bush
Consumers can today buy aftermarket conversion kits and batteries to allow cars such as the Toyota Prius to travel 20 miles on electric power alone. California is leading the nation in promoting plug-in hybrid vehicles.
Buying Nuclear Power for Cars
Originally conceived to lower energy costs through competition, electric deregulation has allowed consumers the choice of energy suppliers, and many choose "green" sources like wind power, or cow power (methane generated). Consumers pay a premium of about $0.04 per kilowatt-hour.
"Inconvenient Truth" Al Gore was criticized for the high energy consumption at his residence mansion, but his retort was that all his energy was purchased from "green" sources, so that he was not contributing to global warming. Providing a nuclear power purchasing option can similarly benefit the nuclear power industry, particularly if some electric vehicle fleets could be promoted as using clean, safe nuclear power.
I'd like to drive a car with a "Nuclear Powered" sign. Consumers today can not choose nuclear power. Nuclear power plant operators should file the necessary tariffs and enter into contracts with distribution utilities so that a consumer could indeed buy nuclear power for recharging his vehicle.
Melt-down-proof pebble bed reactors may be the power source for the future US automobile fleet.

Germany built the first pebble bed reactor
Demonstration of inherently safe AVR shutdown
The pebble bed reactor is an intrinsically safe because the chain reaction diminishes as the fuel temperature rises. This has been demonstrated. The experimental Arbeitsgemeinschaft Versuchsreaktor (AVR) was built in Germany in 1960. Dr. Rudolf Schulten was the originator of the pebble bed reactor design. The experimental AVR at the Julich Research Center operated at 46 megawatt thermal power, about 13 negawatt electric. The safety test was performed in 1970 by stopping the cooling and preventing the control rods from activating. The temperature rose, Doppler broadening absorbed neutrons in U238, the chain reaction slowed, temperatures fell, and the unit stabilized at 300 kilowatts.
HTR-300 Cooling Tower
Germany also built a second pebble bed reactor, the THTR-300, which generated 300 megawatts when it achieved full power operation in 1989. THTR stands for Thorium High Temperature Reactor; it uses thorium to enrich the uranium fuel. Thorium is fertile in that it is not itself very radioactive but can be transformed into uranium fuel. The Th232 absorbs a neutron from the chain reaction of U235 decay, and then the Th233 decays into U233, which is a fissile element that participates in the chain reaction. Thorium is three times as plentiful as uranium in the earth's crust.
In 1986 an operator error caused some of the pebbles to be fractured and the helium gas lock to be jammed. An unknown amount of radioactive materials were released. The THTR-300 was shut down in 1989 following public concerns arising from the Chernobyl accident. Since then Germany has decided to shut down all its nuclear power plants.

Petrol pump set to operate in single shift from Oct 15
On the call of Confederation of Indian Petroleum Dealers (CIPD), the petrol pump owners of the state have now decided to start functioning in a single shift from October 15.punjab Updated: Oct 12, 2012 16:39 IST
Hindustan Times
On the call of Confederation of Indian Petroleum Dealers (CIPD), the petrol pump owners of the state have now decided to start functioning in a single shift from October 15.
A draft of letter has been sent by CIPD to all the petroleum dealers with a directive to forward the same to food and supplies controllers of their respective regions for information and public convenience.
Gurmeet Monty Sehgal, a petrol pump owner, said: "The government has done nothing to pacify the petroleum dealers despite several requests and memorandums and we have left no other option than to adopt the method of protest, which is beneficial both for public and petrol pump owners."
In the communiqué sent to all the dealers, CIPD general secretary Ravi Shinde has appealed all to be prepared for a protest.
"Not to bow under any pressure from any quarter because now you have decided to be the one to decide your future. No third person can decide how you live, do your business and take decisions about your future," Shinde appealed.
Sehgal said: "By working in single shift, the petroleum dealers can cut short their recurring expenses and with the pass of time, the general public will get used to new style of functioning."
"Presently, the petroleum companies are completely misleading the general public by producing frivolous statistics which is illogical. The ministry of petroleum should come up with a white paper on all the worksheets and expenses on petroleum products," he demanded.
"The height of state is that on LPG products, which are already subsidised and causing losses to petroleum department coffers, the commission of distributors have been increased by more than Rs 10, but on petrol and diesel, which are adding profits to ministry, no decision has been taken by the government," he added.
He added that the petroleum companies in spite of cutting-short their expenses, had been putting burdens on the common man which is totally unjustified.

The Beach Boys, 1964
The year was 1964, back when Santa Rosa was a completely different town than the city we know it as today. The population: 35,000. Hardly a considerable tour stop for a group with a huge hit on the charts.
The Beach Boys' All Summer Long had just been released in July, and its big hit, "I Get Around," was lighting up Top 40 radio. So it was a pretty big deal when KPLS 1150 AM radio announced that the Beach Boys were coming to perform at the Veterans' Memorial Building in Santa Rosa. Tickets, priced at $2.50, went on sale at the station's office in Coddingtown, and word spread throughout Santa Rosa's drive-ins and high schools like wildfire.
On the night of the show, the capacity crowd filed into the auditorium and sat politely in rows of folding chairs. The curtain opened, and the Beach Boys, clad in their trademark vertical-striped shirts, launched immediately into their current smash hit: "I Get Around." The set list included "409," "Fun Fun Fun," "Surfer Girl," "Be True To Your School," and "Surfin' Safari," among others, and the audience stayed in their seats the whole time—a matter of personal dignity that Beatlemania would soon render obsolete.
Of course, there's no reason why I should know this, except that my dad, who bought tickets numbered #0006 and #0007, remembers it like it was yesterday. After all, at age 12, it was his first concert. I suppose it was a pretty big deal for my grandpa, too, who was cool enough to change out of his mailman uniform after work and go with his kid to the rock ' roll show.
Fast-forward to 2008: The
Wells Fargo Center Luther Burbank Center has booked the Beach Boys for August 2, and it's being advertised as the Beach Boys' "First Time in Santa Rosa."
It's a nice thought and all—and tickets, against all sensible odds, appear to be selling well—but I know a few people who grew up around here who'd have a pretty good case with which to argue the claim.

George A. Miller, an iconoclastic psychologist who played a crucial role in shifting his field from the study of behaviors to the direct examination of thought processes, died July 22 at his home in Plainsboro, N.J. He was 92 and died of complications of pneumonia and dementia.
And if you need to look up "iconoclastic," you may find that the definition comes from WordNet, a massive online reference that Miller started in hopes of allowing computers to understand human language.
When Miller began his research in the early 1950s, psychologists believed that human thought processes could not be studied directly. Rather, they focused on behaviors and responses to stimuli, working primarily with animals. Miller disagreed.
"George believed that the human mind in all its aspects was interesting and worth studying," said Christiane Fellbaum, a computer scientist who worked closely with him at Princeton University. "Believe it or not, that was revolutionary at the time."

Is It a Superior Paperweight? Or a Secret Storage Sphere?
When you want to keep small, valuable items within easy reach, yet only accessible by you, then a conventional, lockable jewelry box or even a mini-safe may seem the ideal solution. However, if you prefer the container to be a little more enigmatic, then these Gr2 'Secret Storage Spheres' may be a better bet. Created by designer Kristoph Krisjans and smooth, shiny and beautiful in their own right, it's not immediately obvious what they're actually for. Isn't it just a paperweight or a tactile desk ornament?
So, when that lithe cat burglar creeps into your space on a search for valuable jewelry, easy to snatch and light to carry, it may be a good trick to fool them. OK, the Gr2 Secret Storage Spheres are pretty, even worth stealing, perhaps? But they're not really the stuff that swag is made of. They're heavy — and obviously they're not worth very much. A gold or diamond ring — well, yes, that is obvious. But a shiny ball? Your average house-breaker or casual opportunist is not really equipped — or probably enthusiastic enough — to carry off heavy household ornaments.
Little did your thief know that inside that pretty packaging lies a secret. The circular section obliquely positioned near the top of the ball in a contrasting metal – the warm, pink hues of copper or the bright shine of brass – comes off. The whole thing is a spherical container! If you're flush enough, it can even be a luxury gift box. When you're giving your nearest and dearest a gift of precious jewelry, what could be more exciting than finding it secretly nestled inside a gorgeous metal globe?
As the Gr2 Secret Storage Spheres are made mainly from the relatively lighter metal of aluminum in a black or silver finish. The sphere can be positioned to balance on its copper or brass contrasting disc. The additional metals are heavier and thus anchor the sphere in place, so it won't roll away. It can also be kept on its acrylic stand, with the contrasting 'lid' on full show as a striking part of its design. As the copper or brass section will form a patina over time, the spheres come with a polishing kit so that you can make them look brand spanking new. Or, if you prefer, you can let nature take its course.
So, how does it open up? Without the need for a key or a combination lock, you use the dedicated silicone handle or sucker provided with the kit to remove the copper or brass 'lid'. As it fits flush to the silhouette of the anodized aluminum outer shell (by anodizing the aluminum, the color and the smooth finish are sealed and kept intact), it's not immediately apparent that the contrasting circle actually comes away from the rest of the sphere. Surprise! Just look what's inside! Whatever it is — hopefully it's worth it.
With a successful Kickstarter campaign, the Secret Storage Spheres have raised way in excess of the initial aim of £7,000, starting in July 2016. By November 2016, the campaign had already raised over £20,000, unlocking various stretch goals along the way including the 20k target of creating the spheres entirely from the heavier and more expensive (relative to the usual 'body' work of aluminum) metal of brass.
From here, there was just one more goal to unlock: fashioning the entire sphere — body and lid — from copper. So, if you fancy the super duper, all-over copper version, better get pledging! When the giddy sum of 25k is achieved, you can have one!
