Me and my buddies are avid gun owners. We all have MK18s and want to run some drills and LARP with some airsoft guns and slowly get into the airsoft community. My question is what’s a good price range? Website? I see guns for 4-500 bucks. I know stuffs not cheap but if I wanted to replicate our mk18s with a Holosun optic and spare mags what am I looking at price wise and Maby some links to some good replicas would be great. Cheers!

Chapter 30: A Promise Kept
Kalai stepped off the shuttle to the Vaida’s headquarters and into a running tackle-hug from Sitry. “Oh Kalai, I could kill you right now! You got to see the Great Barrier Reef in person, you bitch!” Sitry’s cheerful voice was muffled from where she was still buried in her chest. Kalai staggered backwards a pace or two, happy to be back from her whirlwind adventure around Earth with her father.
Naranjo and Papa Rhaxiid were there on the platform to welcome her back too, but their welcomes were more sedate.
“Not to mention you got out of work for half our damn trip. Ugh, it’s so not fair!” Naranjo huffed as Kalai gave him a sisterly hug.
Papa Rhaxiid reached up and chucked her chin before turning to lead the way back inside from the forested platform. “Welcome back, sweet-sprout, we’ve missed you. Come on, we’ll get you settled again and off to work. There’s quite a bit you need to catch up on if you want your credits.”
The chuckles from the twins behind her were full of sibling malice, but she knew how to shut the pair of them up. “Papa Rhaxiid? I’ve got the paper on Biodiversity in the Reef you asked for, along with the dissection report and stomach content analysis of the tuna we caught. I want to put the finishing touches on it and do a final proofread first before I send them to you.” The man turned and gave her a warm smile as they entered the building.
“Good, why don’t you go take your things back up and say hello to Andy? I’ll give you an hour and a half to get freshened up, then I want you to report to Aquarium 12 with Dr. Sor’ansa. You can put your snorkeling practice to work there.” Papa Rhaxiid walked the three of them to the residential elevator. “I’m heading back to my office. Andy’s been requested by Maetro Pae’ella to work the kitchens for something called ‘Bison burgers'. Apparently it’s a type of indigenous bovine that the eastern Bands raise. That and something from Europe called ‘French Fries’.”
Kalai couldn’t help but get excited as she and her siblings piled into the elevator back to their little shared apartment. Sure the food she’d had all over the place was good, but so far nothing had been able to compare to Andy and his Salishian cooking.
“Nerd, I can’t believe you cheated and did work on your vacation." Naranjo broke the silence of the elevator after a little bit and stuck his tongue out at her.
“Spit to windward, you vain little weed. Don’t hate me because I’m awesome.” Kalai’s riposte caused Naranjo to fold his arms and huff. Sitry simply ambushed her with an ear flick.
The elevator door opened to their floor before Kalai couldn’t bear the silence from Sitry any longer. “So, did you bag him yet, you lucky bitch?”
“No she hasn’t!” Naranjo’s singsong mockery of his sister interrupted Sitry’s response. “Papa hasn’t let Sitry even NEAR Andy without one of them around!”
“Rub it in, you snitch, besides, he did kiss me first,” Sitry preened happily as she playfully shoved Kalai’s shoulder.
Kalai pretended to stumble and almost caught Sitry’s foot, but she was just a hair too slow. “Yeah, and then you gave him a black eye, you clod.”
“Will you let it go? It was an accident!”
“It’s not even the only one he got either." Naranjo’s interjection stopped her right in front of their door.
“Wait, what? Who hurt him this time?” Kalai let her bag thunk to the floor as she turned to look accusingly between Sitry and Narny.
Sitry folded her arms and her ears twitched back as she shot a dark look at their door. “He ‘fell down’ yesterday while out at one of the Hatcheries we gave to the Hwatcoms. Mrs. Toloui nearly had a fit! She said she could smell another human on him and that he was covered in blood!”
Narny nodded primly as Kalai tried to process what they were telling her. “WHAT? Did she call out the militia? Track down whoever hurt him?”
“No, and he refused treatment and insisted that no one did it to him! When papa tried to talk to him, Andy said some stupid human macho shit about pain healing and birds liking scars. I don’t know, sometimes humans… they’re frickin’ insane!”
The door shot open and there stood Andy. His left eye was an angry puffy yellow and blue mess, and there were three points on his lips where a dark cinnabar line marked a crack. Kalai and her siblings stood in wide eyed shock at his sudden appearance and the only sound was the music emanating from the common room behind him.
Andy looked up and down at the three without saying a word. He cocked an eyebrow and snagged Kalai’s bag before any of them could react and cleared the doorway for them.
Kalai sputtered at the impropriety but Naranjo and Sitry just shrugged and walked in after Andy. “Femboys, am I right?” Narny whispered to Kalai as he passed. Kalai followed behind and was greeted by the white fluff-ball, Puck, who hopped up and down, whining for attention. She bent down and started scratching his ears and back. While Puck rubbed up against her hands, Andy settled back down at the table where his omnipad was hooked up to a keypad. Her heart started to sink a bit and Kalai shot Sitry a jealous look before the music came to a sudden halt and Andy interrupted the beginnings of her pity party.
“Ok, Kem’ira, I got the pics now and I’m telling you to declare yourself to the farmers first! I guarantee if you tell them you’re with the new DNR and you’re there to kill all the Scotch Broom in their pasture lands, they’ll stop trying to shoot you for trespassing!”
Kalai’s mood jumped up a bit. It’s not that he doesn’t care to see me, he’s in a meeting!
“No, no I’m not coming out to talk this over with them, I’ve got my own work to do! Either you start talking to folks like I showed you how, or ask the militia to give you one of their armored catsuits to wear under your uniform… Uh-huh, good luck." Andy hung up on the call and leaned back as Puck scampered over and hopped up in his lap.
Andy rubbed his temples before shaking his head. He seemed to relax a bit and Puck slid off to follow Sitry to the kitchen. Andy looked over and gave Kalai a happy smile that made her flush. “Welcome back! So how was the land down under? That tuna was fan-frickin’-tastic, if you aren’t sick of seafood I’ll do something fancy with it tomorrow to celebrate your coming back. Can’t tonight though, I got volun-told to be head chef tonight and I… Oh damnit! I’m late! Come to dinner, burgers and fries Indian style tonight. Gotta run!” With that, Andy went dashing out the door with Puck barking and scrambling along after him.
Kalai felt her heart sink back down again, as he left. “Andy I-” She started but he was gone.
“Yeah, it’s been like that for the whole week. The only time we get to hang out is dinner.” Sitry commiserated as she took Kalai’s bag into their room. “On the other hand, we might get to catch up during the family meal tonight.”
The dinner was delicious, though a bit weird. It tasted alright, but there was a certain aftertaste on the sandwich that just didn’t sit right with Kalai. She just couldn’t put her finger on it. The french fries more than made up for it though, and Mama Sakalbi had to hold a science trivia contest to see who got the last little handful.
Kalai and Narny were already silently plotting with each other for their revenge against their sister who had won and refused to share the last few matchsticks when Andy finally joined their table. He was sweaty and he smelled of woodsmoke and french fries. Kalai jumped up and offered him a seat next to her with a nervous smile. He took it gratefully and seemed to sag a bit as he gulped down a glass of water.
“Andy, I think you may be finding your calling as a culinary ambassador,” Mama Aftasia beamed. “A toast to the chef!”
Andy gave a shy smile and looked down as Kalai and the rest of the family gave a hearty ‘Here, here!”
“It’s a simple enough recipe; it’s just using bison instead of cow, that’s all, and I don’t know anyone who’d turn down hand cut fresh fries. It’s kind of hard to screw up.”
“Young man, you are speaking to a woman who found a way to take cold water and dried wumpa flakes and wind up with a Class-4 fire. Cooking has always seemed like ‘blight mysticism’ to me, and these foods? These flavors? Nothing short of a Greenwood miracle in my opinion." Mama Aftasia continued her praise of Andy, which only caused him to shrink even lower in his seat.
“To be honest, I like your salmon better,” Kalai said, and the whole table went silent. Kalai held her ground though, and was rewarded with a tired but genuine laugh from Andy that brought him back out of his shell.
“You know, I do too. My Clan were fisherpeople, not buffalo chasers.” Andy gave Kalai a cheeky grin, which she returned happily, her heart glowing. Mama Aftasia and Mama Sakalbi both blinked in bemusement at Andy’s statement while Sitry just giggled.
“Speaking of which, Andy, I received a call from Elder Alex Hwatcom.” Papa Rhaxiid’s change of subject instantly perked Andy up, and he stared silently, waiting. “He extended an invitation to our family to attend his family gathering this Friday-”
“Alex said that? He used those words?” Andy shook his head in shock as he interrupted Papa Rhaxiid. The table went quiet and everyone held their breath as they looked between the two men.
Papa Rhaxiid adopted as good an impression of the human Elder as he could. “I’d like to extend an invitation for you and your family to be guests at our family gathering this saturday up at the White… something… lodge-”
“The White Ram Lodge?” Andy sat forward, interjecting again as the color drained from his face.
“Yes, that’s the one! I asked if we could bring anything since the last time they hosted us they put on that wonderful spread. He said if we could bring a few salmon for the family, that would be wonderful.”
Andy leaned back and took another sip of ice water before holding the glass to his blackened eye. “Alex Hwatcom… just invited you… to a gathering… and he told you to ‘bring a few salmon’? Do you realize what a huge honor this is?”
Rhaxiid looked from his wives to his children with mild concern. “Um, I thought it was only dinner, but your reaction tells me there’s more significance to this than I originally thought. I was thinking about our stocks of adult Sockeye, but then I remembered in his story how important King Salmon are. Of course, I’d like to defer to you for the choice since you know these animals and the cultural expectations with this invitation better than we do.”
Andy was silent for a moment before he put the glass down. “I’d recommend a ‘hard no’ to all your clone stock!” Now it was the Vaidas’ turn to be shocked, as each of Kalai’s Erbian family’s jaws dropped in synch. Before anyone could say anything, Andy continued, “You need to bring wild-caught. Farm-raised salmon wouldn’t… well we can tell, and you can taste the difference between them. We need to go fishing!” Kalai leaned towards Andy slightly as he lowered his head and started mumbling to himself. She was just able to make out what he was saying to himself as Mama Sakalbi and Mama Aftasia began whispering to each other. “...need to get the Gillnetter out of storage, check what’s running and select the mesh. I’m gonna need a deckhand too.”
Kalai reached a hand out but stopped short of touching him. “Andy?”
He popped up and spoke for the whole table to hear. “I need a shuttle to the mainland and a waiver against the fishing ban. I’ve got to get my boat and the drum ready for sea ” Rhaxiid and Aftasia sputtered in confusion, but Mama Sakalbi had a shadow fall over her, and her ears pulled back.
“Do you mean to say you want to go out on the water? Risk the ecological balance for… dinner?”
Andy looked Sakalbi dead in the eye and gave her a firm nod. “Why don’t you come out and see how we did this before you got here. Think of it as a chance to see the way we’ve fished for the last hundred or so years, and then I can explain the way we used to fish before that.”
The offer snapped Rhaxiid out of his confusion and he brightened. “A learning experience? Wonderful, we’ll make a day of it!” His hands shot out to grab both his wives’ and Kalai could feel the vibrations in the floor from where he was excitedly tapping his feet.
“If you don’t mind hard, smelly work. Uncle Willy always called it ‘the worst desk in the prettiest office.' It’ll be a bit cramped, but I’ve got room on the boat for a few guests and observers; four I think would be ok. She’s a working boat, not a pleasure cruiser,” Andy explained. That sent the whole lot of them excitedly talking among themselves.
Kalai was about to lean in to talk to Mama Aftasia, but Andy caught her attention first. “I don’t suppose you’d want to go back out on the water, given you just got back from pleasure-boating-”
Kalai’s heart nearly jumped out of her chest. “I wouldn’t miss it for my own colony planet!”
--------------------
Kalai stood on the pier, bundled in her thermal sailor’s coat. It was still dark and the wind blew from the north in a cold little morning breeze. Kalai took a deep breath and reveled in the smell of the fresh sea air. The soft chattering of Mama Sakalbi’s teeth broke the silence. “It’s a bit chillier than it said it was going to be.”
“The water always does that. It’s never as warm as the lubbers say it’ll be,” Papa spoke as he handed her back her thermos of hot chocolate.
Papa stood next to Kalai and nudged her with his elbow. Even in the dark, Kalai could see him smile up at her and jerk his head at the shivering Erbian. He was also wearing a thermal sailor’s coat, and his hands were stuffed in his pockets to keep them warm, just like Kalai’s. “Landswoman,” he whispered to her and the two of them shared a knowing smile. It was strange, but welcome when she'd told Papa about her upcoming day fishing with Andy, and he’d politely requested to join them. Papa Rhaxiid had graciously given his spot up to accommodate her birth father. Narny was all for it until Andy had explained what they were going to do, but then surrendered his challenge to the fourth guest space, not wanting to go anywhere NEAR anything that could see him come face to face with a Lion’s Mane Jelly. Sitry had done a happy little dance when she found out, but only yesterday had come down with Thistle Fever, and was bundled off to bed by her parents. It left Kalai, Mama Sakalbi, and Papa to accompany Andy on his fishing trip.
The water brushed against the shore behind them quietly. In the gloom, Kalai could just barely make out the outline of the nearest island mountain, but only because the stars had disappeared behind it. It was almost four in the morning, but Kalai had managed a catnap on the shuttle to the empty little lot that had been the boat launch. Aside from the water, the world was silent. Even the breeze made almost no noise and a sense of peace surrounded them. Everything was so calm, Kalai felt like she didn’t have a care in the world.
In the distance, a low rumbling sound of a motor rose from being almost imperceptible to a rolling drum of thunder. From around the point, two green floating lights sped through the darkness, and a spotlight turned on. The beam of light moved jerkily until it came to rest on the pier where they were standing and Kalai started waving her arms. Sakalbi’s omnipad rang, and Andy’s voice shouted over the speaker and the background noise for them to shine a light on the edge of the pier to help him park the boat.
Kalai and Papa moved closer and turned their omnipad flashlights on and waved them as the boat swung gracefully around and glided in alongside them. Kalai caught the rope that flew over the railing of the boat and she heard more than saw Andy moving around on the deck as she tied off on one of the mooring cleats. Several lights clicked on and the deck was bathed in light enough for Kalai to get a clear view of the boat they’d be spending the day on.
Andy hadn’t lied. Kalai saw that this little vessel was a working boat with no frills at all. When he’d told her they’d be going fishing, she’d envisioned something like the charter boat papa had taken her on out of Nantucket. Sporty, fast with a nod to comfort and function. This was not that at all. A giant wheel as wide as Kalai’s outstretched arms that looked like a sideways spool of thread was secured to the deck amidships and dominated the deckspace. Wrapped around it was a fluorescent green tangle with a line of oblong white and yellow corks and rope. There was a covered hatchway sitting behind the drum in front of the raised step to the enclosed cabin. Two large windows let the light out to two children’s bunks, a little table with a booth seat and a raised captain’s chair in front of the helm and engine controls. Andy shut down the engine and that peaceful stillness returned.
“Oway there!” Kalai called, “ship oway! Request permission to come aboard.” Kalai gave the traditional greeting of a Shil’vati sailor.
“Permission granted! Anyone need a stepstool?” Andy finally stepped into the light and Kalai got a look at him. He was wearing a hooded sweatshirt and the same bright orange coveralls she’d seen the fishmongers wearing on their date.
“I wouldn’t mind a hand, Mr. Shelokset.” Papa He’osforos braced a foot on the railing of the boat and Andy pulled him up.
“Just call me Andy, Doc, and welcome aboard. Jackie should be along any minute now with the day’s groceries, and the cabin’s out of the cold. You can get yourself set wherever you find comfortable.” Papa nodded and disappeared around the other side of the wheel moving towards the bow.
Kalai helped Mama Sakalbi into the boat next, and she quickly ducked into the cabin that took up the entire stern section save for a little ledge that ran along the outside. Andy gripped Kalai’s hand and she smiled as he pulled her deftly aboard. The boat rocked a little on its mooring, and Kalai almost fell into Andy, who wordlessly put his arms around her waist to catch her as she lost her balance. She flailed for a moment before she steadied herself against him.
“Gotcha,” Andy smiled, and Kalai could see him flush almost as much as she could feel herself doing as their noses almost touched. Those big dark brown eyes surrounded by white orbs drew her in and she felt she could lose herself in them. Kalai started as Andy danced her around him and moved her towards the cabin door.
“It might be a little cramped for you in there, but the Mary Jean wasn’t built for pleasure boating, she’s a working girl. Sit tight, I gotta check a few things in the back.” Andy patted the railing affectionately before he hopped up and scooted along the outside of the cabin towards the stern. Kalai couldn’t help the little longing groan that came out as he left her there on the little tiny quarterdeck. Her heart was hammering in her chest as half formed fantasies danced at the edges of her mind.
“I saw that, little minnow.” Papa’s voice was soft, but his tone and the sudden broken silence nearly gave her a heart attack.
Kalai could only stammer as her father stared at her with a cocked eyebrow. A thump from the cabin window behind saw an amused Mama Sakalbi daintily sipping at her thermos with her ears twitched forward in interest, staring out at her. “Papa I… he-”
Papa moved carefully around the covered hatchway to stand next to her, leaning back against the cabin window and heaved a sigh. “I must say I’m surprised. This lovely man’s got good clean lines and is very well cared for. It speaks well of his Skipper.”
It took a full minute for Kalai’s brain to process that he was talking about the boat and not Andy. “And the way Andy brought him in smooth in near complete darkness? It gives me confidence in his abilities.”
Kalai breathed a silent sigh of relief and exasperation. Although she was happy to be spending more time with her father, bringing him on what she’d hoped would be a sailing date wasn’t exactly what she’d had in mind for ‘family time’. He wants me to find a nice young man and spend time with him on a boat, but the first chance I get Papa decides to clam-jam me.
From up on shore, the sound and lights of a large human vehicle screeching to a halt heralded the last of their party to arrive. Kalai heard the clomping footsteps coming down the pier and moved to the railing to lend a hand.
“Ahoy Mary Jean! Raggedy Andy, you there?” Kalai stared with wide eyed surprise to see a human female, loaded down with plastic bags and sporting two human weapons on her shoulder. The two of them locked eyes, and while Kalai didn’t understand everything the girl shouted in surprise, she had caught and understood the phrase, “What the fuck?”
“Easy now, they’re my guests, and the one inside is the boss!” Andy appeared on the pier instantly before either Kalai or the woman could react further.
“Ya didn’t tell me we were having pur-” The woman glared at Kalai and her father. She had switched to Vatikre thankfully, but her tone was hostile as she dropped everything but her weapons. “I mean, hwun’eetums, aboard. A gal could get the wrong idea pretty quick in the dark when there’s no warning.”
“Knock it off Jackie. Let’s get the grub aboard and shove off.” Andy picked up some of the bags and took the guns as Kalai offered a helping hand over the railing. “Oh, Kalai, this is Jackie. Jackie? Kalai. That’s her dad over there, Doc He’osforos. He saw and treated Kay Tee a few years back.” Andy jerked his head towards the direction of Kalai’s father as she held out a hand to the human girl. On a quick inspection, she appeared to be about the same age as her and Andy. She had a round face and was about as dark complected as Andy was. She was shorter, only a few inches taller than Papa, but when Jackie grabbed Kalai’s hand to hop up onto the rail, she could feel the strength and the compact muscle hidden by the baggy sweatshirt and pants.
“Wait a minute, did you say Mini-Me over there saw Kay Tee? You’re fuckin’ with me!” Jackie stumbled a bit as she hopped down onto the deck with a loud thunk and advanced on Papa who shrank away at her advance. “You saw li’l Kay Tee? Where the fuck is he? Is he alright? Is he still fighting the good fight?”
“Last I saw, yes, he was ‘fighting the good fight.’” Papa looked over at Andy with a slightly worried expression. Andy smacked the girl in the back of the head, causing her to flinch and she opened the door to the cabin for Andy to go inside.
Jackie rubbed the back of her head and laughed. “Well that’s a little bit of alright, innit? Maybe today’s gonna be a good day after all!”
“Jackie, get suited up and get on the bow. I need a good pair of eyes on the roller horns,” Kalai heard Andy shout from the cabin, followed by a whole lot of thumping and banging from cabinets being opened and closed.
“You got it, ol’ man. We going to your place or mine?” Jackie sidestepped in and opened a tiny little closet and pulled out a set of rain gear that was identical to what Andy was wearing. Kalai collected herself and stood in the doorway next to her father as they both leaned in.
“Mine; Chuck said the Yaw’much are running from the South. We’ll do a set nor’west of Lummi in the Rosario and see if we can get some Fraser Kings,” Andy replied as he turned the engine back on and the vessel roared to life.
“Chuck? Isn’t that one of your cousins? I didn’t know he could keep track of the movements of Salmon, may I ask how he does it?” Mama Sakalbi perked up as she pulled a set of earplugs out of a pocket and inserted them.
Andy prevaricated a bit, looking from Jackie back to Sakalbi then to Kalai and Papa. “I’d rather not answer that-”
“Breakin’ the law, breakin’ the law! Breakin’ the law, breakin’ the law!”
Jackie began singing a human song, and Andy threw her the dirtiest of looks as she finished getting into the orange coveralls. Mama Sakalbi sputtered as Andy shrugged apologetically.
“Make a hole!” Jackie called, and she and Andy came back out as Kalai and Papa made room for them. Andy hopped back onto the dock to cast off while Papa ducked into the cabin.
“Can I help?” Kalai offered as Andy shoved the vessel off and leapt the gap over the black water below.
“You want to be useful? Come forward! I could use an extra set of eyes!” Jackie called back, and Kalai felt a slap on her shoulder from the boisterous human woman.
------------------
Andy stood at the helm, watching Jackie and Kalai as he leaned to get a better view of them past the Net drum. The bow was lifting up again, and the gentle little swells became like speed bumps, jostling them up and down in a predictable bouncing rhythm.
“Are you sure you couldn’t slow down, Andy? It’s a bit rough, don’t you think?” Sakalbi was hanging on to the table and her thermos with a worried expression on her face.
“I could, but we’ll miss the morning set. We want to bomb out the buoy right when the tide changes. If we’re lucky, then we’ll get around seventy or eighty by slack tide this afternoon and call it a day.”
“How do you know where to fish?” Dr. He’osforos was making a good show of standing and maintaining his balance with his hand on the booth.
“Well, there’s two ways you know. The first is you fish the spots your family’s fished since time began. Every family has about two or three different secret spots that we know there’s fish in, and we’re pretty defensive about their locations. The second is by smell. Right now it’s the tail end of the King season, and you can smell them in the water.” Andy turned and saw the incredulity etched on the faces of the two aliens.
“No, I’m serious! King Salmon slime is really pungent, and you can smell them when they’re close to the surface. We get to the fishing spot and take a deep whiff. If we smell them, we’ll set the nets.” Andy laughed at the disbelief on their faces as the GPS on his omnipad beeped and he turned to sail around the last buoy and head for the fishing ground.
“I’ve never noticed that in any of the Kings we’ve raised-”
Andy suppressed a laugh as they caught a larger swell as they left the lee of Lummi Island. Andy reveled in the feeling of weightlessness as the deck rose up and fell out from underneath their feet, leaving everyone suspended for a moment in midair before falling back down. A massive spray of water rose and washed over the deck, drenching Kalai and Jackie, who were still forward. “Cloned and farmed Kings don’t have that same smell. Wild ones smell and taste different, I’m telling you!” Andy pulled back slightly on the throttle as they climbed the next swell. “Brace!” he called as they climbed and fell once again.
There was a look of fear on Sakalbi’s face as she gripped the table for dear life, but to Andy’s surprise, the Doctor looked completely unfazed, and was handling the rise and fall of the deck like an old salt. “You look like you’ve done this before, Doc.”
“I’ve done a stint or two at sea before,” he spoke, in the same tone Andy would have used when trying not to sound too confident, and Andy smiled.
“Kalai keeps talking about loving the sea and sailing. Did you teach her to sail?”
“Yes, me and her mothers. When they were home, we would take the family yacht out in the Vaascon Straits and sail around the Occidiens. Kalai practically spent all her early childhood on a sailboat.”
“And almost every waking moment on one in Junior Academy. I swear you couldn’t dig her out with a trowel when she wanted to go sailing,” Sakalbi managed to add in a word as the boat slowed, and the dramatic rise and fall of the deck slowed with it.
“What about you, Mr. Shelokset, did your father teach you to sail too?”
“I was too young before he passed. My Great Uncle Willy taught me after I came home, and Grandma took me out to the family fishing sites when she wasn’t busy with the Council. For the first two or three years after they let us come home, fishing was the only way to feed our families, but the Militia and the Cambrians would try and sink our boats or arrest us whenever we tried to go out.”
“And that’s why you’re so good at maneuvering your vessel in the dark with no instruments?” Mrs. Vaida had folded her arms, and her voice twinged with that imperious tone she’d had when they’d first met.
Andy huffed a dry laugh. “I did what I had to for me and my people and to survive, Ma’am. I don’t like breaking the law or dodging lasers and gunfire, but there’s a lot of poor families that need to eat.”
The GPS beeped, and Andy gave Mrs. Vaida a slightly defiant look to counter her furrowed brow. “We’re here,” he said as he threw the engine in neutral and opened the cabin door.
Andy walked out and took a deep breath, but all he could smell was the net and the exhaust from the engine. “HEY JACKIE! WE SMELL MONEY?” Andy yelled out as he took stock of the sky. The first signs of sunrise were chasing all but the morning stars away and a light fog was rolling in from the north.
“FUCK YEAH I CAN SMELL ‘EM, ANDY! LET’S BOMB OUT AND GET BREAKFAST GOING!” Jackie looked slightly manic as she smiled brightly. Kalai, on the other hand, looked wet and miserable as she shivered, arms wrapped around herself. Andy gave his cousin a disgusted look as he pieced together what had happened. Every deckhand learned when to duck behind the raised bow and the roller horns that guided the nets so as not to get a faceful of spray when cutting through a swell. It was also a classic hazing trick for Senior Deckhands to let Junior Deckhands learn this the hard way.
Andy moved forward to stand in front of the two of them. Kalai was trying to squeeze her coat dry, but Andy knew it wouldn’t do much good until the sun came out. Jackie at least had the sense to look a little remorseful. “Kalai, why don’t you go sit in the cabin and get out of that wet coat. It’s cold enough out here even for us-”
“No way, Andy. Junior deckhand Kally here wants to impress you and get her dainty soft hands dirty! She’s been bragging about being a sailorwoman and wants to learn to fish ‘your way!” Jackie gave Kalai’s shoulder a wet slap as the poor alien woman went blue. Out of cold or embarrassment, Andy couldn’t tell.
All Andy could do was shake his head and huff. “Ok then! Secure the buoy and sling on my mark. I’ll get us in position!” Andy couldn’t help but chuckle as he heard Jackie start ordering Kalai about. Andy went back into the cabin and looked in the closet/bathroom to see if there was anything hanging up that he could give Kalai. There was only the one rain slicker and a few of Andy’s old sweaters from when he was a lot smaller. Well, looks like I’ll just be cold today. He quickly stripped out of his sweatshirt and grabbed the slicker before throwing a switch on the main control. Dr. He’osforos and Mrs. Vaida threw him quizzical looks as he went back outside wearing less than when he came in. He was down to a sleeveless shirt and his coveralls, and the morning breeze cut right through him and he braced his jaw to keep it from chattering.
“We’re ready to go- Andy, why are you practically naked from the waist up?” Kalai was staring wide eyed at him as he approached her and Jackie was on the bow. Jackie had everything ready; the buoy line was strung through the horns and ready to toss out. A giant orange and blue beach ball sized float hung at the end of the line to mark the end and make it easier to pick up later.
“Trade me your coat for these. If Jackie’s putting you to work, you’ll need these to keep warm.”
“I’m alright, I can-”
“I’m the Skipper of this boat, and I’m ordering you to take off that wet coat and put these on; and Jackie?” Andy gave his cousin a long and piercing look. “Give her the elbow gloves, not the halfsies.”
The scoff and the muttered Salishian profanities meant he’d read the next prank she’d had in mind right. She was planning on giving her the cloth gloves with only the palms and fingers coated in rubber. While perfectly fine for fishing, Andy knew they tended to get soaked through very quickly and did nothing to keep jellyfish stingers and fish slime off your hands. Kalai sputtered for a moment before she complied gratefully and she accepted the dry clothes and rain slicker.
Andy saw Jackie give him a strange look before looking back at Kalai, but he paid it no mind. He walked back to the controls on the drum and switched off the hydraulics, placing the mechanism in neutral. “SLING IT!” Andy called as he took the small jerry rigged steering wheel and threw the boat in reverse. Kalai jumped as the line started unspooling the net into the water at a rapid pace.
Andy set an ‘S’ bend in the quarter mile long net, zigzagging backwards until they came to the end of the line. Andy stopped the boat as Jackie tied off the other large buoy and tossed it over the side, unstringing the cork-line from the roller horns in the process. He pulled hard over and put a bit of distance from the net before shutting the engine down. The line of white and yellow corks marking the net bobbed lazily with the swells as silence settled over the water again. The waves rocked the boat gently as Andy found his sea legs again.
“Alright, I’ll get breakfast going. Jackie, Kalai? Post the watch for seals,” Andy called as he walked back into the cabin to fire up the tiny little gas stove.
Sakalbi, having found the confidence to stand at last, poked her head out of the cabin and stood on by the hatch to the fish hold. “Seals? Why would you need to watch for seals?”
Andy grit his teeth and looked over from where he was cracking open and scrambling eggs. “They’re the spawn of Satan and we hate their guts!” Andy bit out. Jackie came back and pulled the two shotguns and a pair of binoculars from the closet. Andy reached over to a side cabinet and pulled out a box of shells for them. Both his boss and the Doctor’s eyes got wide.
“Seals are the enemy of our blood. Were it not for the invasion, our unending war against these vermin would continue to this day!” Jackie growled as she loaded one for herself and rested the other on Andy’s seat at the helm.
The look of growing horror on Sakalbi’s face towards their facetious declarations caused Andy to chuckle a bit, before launching into an explanation. “We’re not fans of the species because they’ll wait until a fish gets caught in the net and then they’ll steal it, costing us a fish AND ripping a big hole in our nets that we then have to take time to repair. We use the shotguns and buckshot to give them a nice welt and convince them not to hang around, because they’ll wait up on the surface and watch the buoys, just like us. A single seal can and will take between five and ten fish. The worst is when they start getting full, they’ll just bite out the bellies of a salmon in the net. We can’t really do anything with that fish once it’s ‘seal-bit’. So yes, as fishermen, we hate them.”
“Learned opportunism in apex predators as a response to human activity… I think I’ll go see this behavior for myself!” Sakalbi practically rushed out the door towards the bow where Jackie was sitting on the roller horns explaining to Kalai how to spot the bastards, leaving Andy alone in the cabin with the Doctor while he cooked breakfast for them all.
Dr. He’osforos sat down heavily in the booth and pulled out his omnipad. “I’ve had a word with my friend in the Interior. She’s pulled the warrant for your brother, and I’ve withdrawn the charges I filed.”
Andy froze and turned around slowly. The only sound was the sizzle and pop of the eggs and chorizo that he’d added to them in the skillet. “You mean… it’s done? He can come home?” A wave of light headed euphoria swept over Andy and he swayed with the gentle rocking of the boat. “I will pay you back, Doc-”
The doctor held up his hand and stopped Andy. “We’ll call it even, but there’s something… I was able to get my hands on this,” Andy watched as the doctor swiped something towards his omnipad and it dinged. “What is it if I may-”
“Are you really asking an Indian to tell you a story? Because it’s going to be a long one if you are.” “I’m Sevastutavan, young man; we invented long stories.”
Andy froze and stared at the screen of his omnipad. The Vatikre was heavily accented, and Andy had a bit of trouble with the unfamiliar accent, but centered in the frame in a hospital room, sitting in a wheelchair, was a Salishian boy. Andy blinked in surprise as he stared at the screen. “Is that-”
“I am Ikw’is’hi’ehlah, and this bearer is… of the Orca Clan Sheloksets. I drove our Haida enemies onto the rocks and took many heads when they attacked our winter village on Orcas Island. I signed the Treaty with the Great White Father and I fought against the slavers of the south-”
Andy wanted to grab the omnipad but the smell of overcooking eggs brought his attention back to breakfast and Andy stirred and scrapped the food quickly, trying to save it.
“I asked her for any materials she could give me on your brother. Pictures, recordings, anything. This is what she gave me. It's the last known recording of your brother during an interrogation conducted by a Navy Commissar prior to his escape. It seems he made friends with a Pod of Deaths Head Commandos. Quite a bit of the recording has been redacted, but… there are portions of it where he talks about his family and his history. I thought you might like to have it.”
Andy hurriedly pulled out paper plates and a slice of bread for everyone and scooped a heaping portion of the chorizo eggs onto them. He handed the doctor his before leaning out the cabin door. “Slop’s on, come and get it!”
Andy sat down after moving the shotgun out of the way and started the video over again as the three women came back to grab their plates and lost himself watching his brother start telling his story.
“What’s that?” Andy heard Kalai ask over his shoulder, and he paused the video.
“That’s my brother! That’s Kay Tee!”
“Holy shit, what?” Jackie nearly shoved Kalai into Andy as she jammed her bread slice down her gullet and crowded in to see the screen.
Andy started the video over a second time and they watched in silence. “God, that brings back memories. Back when mom was still alive and before we broke up the warband. I can’t believe that slippery little punk ghosted a pod of Commandos for two fucking years! Holy shit, that’s badass!”
Before Andy could say anything, Sakalbi started coughing and brought the binoculars up. “Uh, Andy? Jackie? What do we do about sharks?”
Jackie looked at Andy in confusion. “Sharks? There’s nothing but Dogs around here.”
“Well those are shark fins and they’re charging the net!” Sakalbi pointed and Andy looked up to see dorsal fins charging the center of the net.
Andy looked at Jackie and spoke the same words in tandem, “Oh shit!”

Chapter 30: A Promise Kept
Kalai stepped off the shuttle to the Vaida’s headquarters and into a running tackle-hug from Sitry. “Oh Kalai, I could kill you right now! You got to see the Great Barrier Reef in person, you bitch!” Sitry’s cheerful voice was muffled from where she was still buried in her chest. Kalai staggered backwards a pace or two, happy to be back from her whirlwind adventure around Earth with her father.
Naranjo and Papa Rhaxiid were there on the platform to welcome her back too, but their welcomes were more sedate.
“Not to mention you got out of work for half our damn trip. Ugh, it’s so not fair!” Naranjo huffed as Kalai gave him a sisterly hug.
Papa Rhaxiid reached up and chucked her chin before turning to lead the way back inside from the forested platform. “Welcome back, sweet-sprout, we’ve missed you. Come on, we’ll get you settled again and off to work. There’s quite a bit you need to catch up on if you want your credits.”
The chuckles from the twins behind her were full of sibling malice, but she knew how to shut the pair of them up. “Papa Rhaxiid? I’ve got the paper on Biodiversity in the Reef you asked for, along with the dissection report and stomach content analysis of the tuna we caught. I want to put the finishing touches on it and do a final proofread first before I send them to you.” The man turned and gave her a warm smile as they entered the building.
“Good, why don’t you go take your things back up and say hello to Andy? I’ll give you an hour and a half to get freshened up, then I want you to report to Aquarium 12 with Dr. Sor’ansa. You can put your snorkeling practice to work there.” Papa Rhaxiid walked the three of them to the residential elevator. “I’m heading back to my office. Andy’s been requested by Maetro Pae’ella to work the kitchens for something called ‘Bison burgers'. Apparently it’s a type of indigenous bovine that the eastern Bands raise. That and something from Europe called ‘French Fries’.”
Kalai couldn’t help but get excited as she and her siblings piled into the elevator back to their little shared apartment. Sure the food she’d had all over the place was good, but so far nothing had been able to compare to Andy and his Salishian cooking.
“Nerd, I can’t believe you cheated and did work on your vacation." Naranjo broke the silence of the elevator after a little bit and stuck his tongue out at her.
“Spit to windward, you vain little weed. Don’t hate me because I’m awesome.” Kalai’s riposte caused Naranjo to fold his arms and huff. Sitry simply ambushed her with an ear flick.
The elevator door opened to their floor before Kalai couldn’t bear the silence from Sitry any longer. “So, did you bag him yet, you lucky bitch?”
“No she hasn’t!” Naranjo’s singsong mockery of his sister interrupted Sitry’s response. “Papa hasn’t let Sitry even NEAR Andy without one of them around!”
“Rub it in, you snitch, besides, he did kiss me first,” Sitry preened happily as she playfully shoved Kalai’s shoulder.
Kalai pretended to stumble and almost caught Sitry’s foot, but she was just a hair too slow. “Yeah, and then you gave him a black eye, you clod.”
“Will you let it go? It was an accident!”
“It’s not even the only one he got either." Naranjo’s interjection stopped her right in front of their door.
“Wait, what? Who hurt him this time?” Kalai let her bag thunk to the floor as she turned to look accusingly between Sitry and Narny.
Sitry folded her arms and her ears twitched back as she shot a dark look at their door. “He ‘fell down’ yesterday while out at one of the Hatcheries we gave to the Hwatcoms. Mrs. Toloui nearly had a fit! She said she could smell another human on him and that he was covered in blood!”
Narny nodded primly as Kalai tried to process what they were telling her. “WHAT? Did she call out the militia? Track down whoever hurt him?”
“No, and he refused treatment and insisted that no one did it to him! When papa tried to talk to him, Andy said some stupid human macho shit about pain healing and birds liking scars. I don’t know, sometimes humans… they’re frickin’ insane!”
The door shot open and there stood Andy. His left eye was an angry puffy yellow and blue mess, and there were three points on his lips where a dark cinnabar line marked a crack. Kalai and her siblings stood in wide eyed shock at his sudden appearance and the only sound was the music emanating from the common room behind him.
Andy looked up and down at the three without saying a word. He cocked an eyebrow and snagged Kalai’s bag before any of them could react and cleared the doorway for them.
Kalai sputtered at the impropriety but Naranjo and Sitry just shrugged and walked in after Andy. “Femboys, am I right?” Narny whispered to Kalai as he passed. Kalai followed behind and was greeted by the white fluff-ball, Puck, who hopped up and down, whining for attention. She bent down and started scratching his ears and back. While Puck rubbed up against her hands, Andy settled back down at the table where his omnipad was hooked up to a keypad. Her heart started to sink a bit and Kalai shot Sitry a jealous look before the music came to a sudden halt and Andy interrupted the beginnings of her pity party.
“Ok, Kem’ira, I got the pics now and I’m telling you to declare yourself to the farmers first! I guarantee if you tell them you’re with the new DNR and you’re there to kill all the Scotch Broom in their pasture lands, they’ll stop trying to shoot you for trespassing!”
Kalai’s mood jumped up a bit. It’s not that he doesn’t care to see me, he’s in a meeting!
“No, no I’m not coming out to talk this over with them, I’ve got my own work to do! Either you start talking to folks like I showed you how, or ask the militia to give you one of their armored catsuits to wear under your uniform… Uh-huh, good luck." Andy hung up on the call and leaned back as Puck scampered over and hopped up in his lap.
Andy rubbed his temples before shaking his head. He seemed to relax a bit and Puck slid off to follow Sitry to the kitchen. Andy looked over and gave Kalai a happy smile that made her flush. “Welcome back! So how was the land down under? That tuna was fan-frickin’-tastic, if you aren’t sick of seafood I’ll do something fancy with it tomorrow to celebrate your coming back. Can’t tonight though, I got volun-told to be head chef tonight and I… Oh damnit! I’m late! Come to dinner, burgers and fries Indian style tonight. Gotta run!” With that, Andy went dashing out the door with Puck barking and scrambling along after him.
Kalai felt her heart sink back down again, as he left. “Andy I-” She started but he was gone.
“Yeah, it’s been like that for the whole week. The only time we get to hang out is dinner.” Sitry commiserated as she took Kalai’s bag into their room. “On the other hand, we might get to catch up during the family meal tonight.”
Kalai and Narny were already silently plotting with each other for their revenge against their sister who had won and refused to share the last few matchsticks when Andy finally joined their table. He was sweaty and he smelled of woodsmoke and french fries. Kalai jumped up and offered him a seat next to her with a nervous smile. He took it gratefully and seemed to sag a bit as he gulped down a glass of water.
“Andy, I think you may be finding your calling as a culinary ambassador,” Mama Aftasia beamed. “A toast to the chef!”
Andy gave a shy smile and looked down as Kalai and the rest of the family gave a hearty ‘Here, here!”
“It’s a simple enough recipe; it’s just using bison instead of cow, that’s all, and I don’t know anyone who’d turn down hand cut fresh fries. It’s kind of hard to screw up.”
“Young man, you are speaking to a woman who found a way to take cold water and dried wumpa flakes and wind up with a Class-4 fire. Cooking has always seemed like ‘blight mysticism’ to me, and these foods? These flavors? Nothing short of a Greenwood miracle in my opinion." Mama Aftasia continued her praise of Andy, which only caused him to shrink even lower in his seat.
“To be honest, I like your salmon better,” Kalai said, and the whole table went silent. Kalai held her ground though, and was rewarded with a tired but genuine laugh from Andy that brought him back out of his shell.
“You know, I do too. My Clan were fisherpeople, not buffalo chasers.” Andy gave Kalai a cheeky grin, which she returned happily, her heart glowing. Mama Aftasia and Mama Sakalbi both blinked in bemusement at Andy’s statement while Sitry just giggled.
“Speaking of which, Andy, I received a call from Elder Alex Hwatcom.” Papa Rhaxiid’s change of subject instantly perked Andy up, and he stared silently, waiting. “He extended an invitation to our family to attend his family gathering this Friday-”
“Alex said that? He used those words?” Andy shook his head in shock as he interrupted Papa Rhaxiid. The table went quiet and everyone held their breath as they looked between the two men.
Papa Rhaxiid adopted as good an impression of the human Elder as he could. “I’d like to extend an invitation for you and your family to be guests at our family gathering this saturday up at the White… something… lodge-”
“The White Ram Lodge?” Andy sat forward, interjecting again as the color drained from his face.
“Yes, that’s the one! I asked if we could bring anything since the last time they hosted us they put on that wonderful spread. He said if we could bring a few salmon for the family, that would be wonderful.”
Andy leaned back and took another sip of ice water before holding the glass to his blackened eye. “Alex Hwatcom… just invited you… to a gathering… and he told you to ‘bring a few salmon’? Do you realize what a huge honor this is?”
Rhaxiid looked from his wives to his children with mild concern. “Um, I thought it was only dinner, but your reaction tells me there’s more significance to this than I originally thought. I was thinking about our stocks of adult Sockeye, but then I remembered in his story how important King Salmon are. Of course, I’d like to defer to you for the choice since you know these animals and the cultural expectations with this invitation better than we do.”
Andy was silent for a moment before he put the glass down. “I’d recommend a ‘hard no’ to all your clone stock!” Now it was the Vaidas’ turn to be shocked, as each of Kalai’s Erbian family’s jaws dropped in synch. Before anyone could say anything, Andy continued, “You need to bring wild-caught. Farm-raised salmon wouldn’t… well we can tell, and you can taste the difference between them. We need to go fishing!” Kalai leaned towards Andy slightly as he lowered his head and started mumbling to himself. She was just able to make out what he was saying to himself as Mama Sakalbi and Mama Aftasia began whispering to each other. “...need to get the Gillnetter out of storage, check what’s running and select the mesh. I’m gonna need a deckhand too.”
Kalai reached a hand out but stopped short of touching him. “Andy?”
He popped up and spoke for the whole table to hear. “I need a shuttle to the mainland and a waiver against the fishing ban. I’ve got to get my boat and the drum ready for sea ” Rhaxiid and Aftasia sputtered in confusion, but Mama Sakalbi had a shadow fall over her, and her ears pulled back.
“Do you mean to say you want to go out on the water? Risk the ecological balance for… dinner?”
Andy looked Sakalbi dead in the eye and gave her a firm nod. “Why don’t you come out and see how we did this before you got here. Think of it as a chance to see the way we’ve fished for the last hundred or so years, and then I can explain the way we used to fish before that.”
The offer snapped Rhaxiid out of his confusion and he brightened. “A learning experience? Wonderful, we’ll make a day of it!” His hands shot out to grab both his wives’ and Kalai could feel the vibrations in the floor from where he was excitedly tapping his feet.
“If you don’t mind hard, smelly work. Uncle Willy always called it ‘the worst desk in the prettiest office.' It’ll be a bit cramped, but I’ve got room on the boat for a few guests and observers; four I think would be ok. She’s a working boat, not a pleasure cruiser,” Andy explained. That sent the whole lot of them excitedly talking among themselves.
Kalai was about to lean in to talk to Mama Aftasia, but Andy caught her attention first. “I don’t suppose you’d want to go back out on the water, given you just got back from pleasure-boating-”
Kalai’s heart nearly jumped out of her chest. “I wouldn’t miss it for my own colony planet!”
--------------------
Kalai stood on the pier, bundled in her thermal sailor’s coat. It was still dark and the wind blew from the north in a cold little morning breeze. Kalai took a deep breath and reveled in the smell of the fresh sea air. The soft chattering of Mama Sakalbi’s teeth broke the silence. “It’s a bit chillier than it said it was going to be.”
“The water always does that. It’s never as warm as the lubbers say it’ll be,” Papa spoke as he handed her back her thermos of hot chocolate.
Papa stood next to Kalai and nudged her with his elbow. Even in the dark, Kalai could see him smile up at her and jerk his head at the shivering Erbian. He was also wearing a thermal sailor’s coat, and his hands were stuffed in his pockets to keep them warm, just like Kalai’s. “Landswoman,” he whispered to her and the two of them shared a knowing smile. It was strange, but welcome when she'd told Papa about her upcoming day fishing with Andy, and he’d politely requested to join them. Papa Rhaxiid had graciously given his spot up to accommodate her birth father. Narny was all for it until Andy had explained what they were going to do, but then surrendered his challenge to the fourth guest space, not wanting to go anywhere NEAR anything that could see him come face to face with a Lion’s Mane Jelly. Sitry had done a happy little dance when she found out, but only yesterday had come down with Thistle Fever, and was bundled off to bed by her parents. It left Kalai, Mama Sakalbi, and Papa to accompany Andy on his fishing trip.
The water brushed against the shore behind them quietly. In the gloom, Kalai could just barely make out the outline of the nearest island mountain, but only because the stars had disappeared behind it. It was almost four in the morning, but Kalai had managed a catnap on the shuttle to the empty little lot that had been the boat launch. Aside from the water, the world was silent. Even the breeze made almost no noise and a sense of peace surrounded them. Everything was so calm, Kalai felt like she didn’t have a care in the world.
In the distance, a low rumbling sound of a motor rose from being almost imperceptible to a rolling drum of thunder. From around the point, two green floating lights sped through the darkness, and a spotlight turned on. The beam of light moved jerkily until it came to rest on the pier where they were standing and Kalai started waving her arms. Sakalbi’s omnipad rang, and Andy’s voice shouted over the speaker and the background noise for them to shine a light on the edge of the pier to help him park the boat.
Kalai and Papa moved closer and turned their omnipad flashlights on and waved them as the boat swung gracefully around and glided in alongside them. Kalai caught the rope that flew over the railing of the boat and she heard more than saw Andy moving around on the deck as she tied off on one of the mooring cleats. Several lights clicked on and the deck was bathed in light enough for Kalai to get a clear view of the boat they’d be spending the day on.
Andy hadn’t lied. Kalai saw that this little vessel was a working boat with no frills at all. When he’d told her they’d be going fishing, she’d envisioned something like the charter boat papa had taken her on out of Nantucket. Sporty, fast with a nod to comfort and function. This was not that at all. A giant wheel as wide as Kalai’s outstretched arms that looked like a sideways spool of thread was secured to the deck amidships and dominated the deckspace. Wrapped around it was a fluorescent green tangle with a line of oblong white and yellow corks and rope. There was a covered hatchway sitting behind the drum in front of the raised step to the enclosed cabin. Two large windows let the light out to two children’s bunks, a little table with a booth seat and a raised captain’s chair in front of the helm and engine controls. Andy shut down the engine and that peaceful stillness returned.
“Oway there!” Kalai called, “ship oway! Request permission to come aboard.” Kalai gave the traditional greeting of a Shil’vati sailor.
“Permission granted! Anyone need a stepstool?” Andy finally stepped into the light and Kalai got a look at him. He was wearing a hooded sweatshirt and the same bright orange coveralls she’d seen the fishmongers wearing on their date.
“I wouldn’t mind a hand, Mr. Shelokset.” Papa He’osforos braced a foot on the railing of the boat and Andy pulled him up.
“Just call me Andy, Doc, and welcome aboard. Jackie should be along any minute now with the day’s groceries, and the cabin’s out of the cold. You can get yourself set wherever you find comfortable.” Papa nodded and disappeared around the other side of the wheel moving towards the bow.
Kalai helped Mama Sakalbi into the boat next, and she quickly ducked into the cabin that took up the entire stern section save for a little ledge that ran along the outside. Andy gripped Kalai’s hand and she smiled as he pulled her deftly aboard. The boat rocked a little on its mooring, and Kalai almost fell into Andy, who wordlessly put his arms around her waist to catch her as she lost her balance. She flailed for a moment before she steadied herself against him.
“Gotcha,” Andy smiled, and Kalai could see him flush almost as much as she could feel herself doing as their noses almost touched. Those big dark brown eyes surrounded by white orbs drew her in and she felt she could lose herself in them. Kalai started as Andy danced her around him and moved her towards the cabin door.
“It might be a little cramped for you in there, but the Mary Jean wasn’t built for pleasure boating, she’s a working girl. Sit tight, I gotta check a few things in the back.” Andy patted the railing affectionately before he hopped up and scooted along the outside of the cabin towards the stern. Kalai couldn’t help the little longing groan that came out as he left her there on the little tiny quarterdeck. Her heart was hammering in her chest as half formed fantasies danced at the edges of her mind.
“I saw that, little minnow.” Papa’s voice was soft, but his tone and the sudden broken silence nearly gave her a heart attack.
Kalai could only stammer as her father stared at her with a cocked eyebrow. A thump from the cabin window behind saw an amused Mama Sakalbi daintily sipping at her thermos with her ears twitched forward in interest, staring out at her. “Papa I… he-”
Papa moved carefully around the covered hatchway to stand next to her, leaning back against the cabin window and heaved a sigh. “I must say I’m surprised. This lovely man’s got good clean lines and is very well cared for. It speaks well of his Skipper.”
It took a full minute for Kalai’s brain to process that he was talking about the boat and not Andy. “And the way Andy brought him in smooth in near complete darkness? It gives me confidence in his abilities.”
Kalai breathed a silent sigh of relief and exasperation. Although she was happy to be spending more time with her father, bringing him on what she’d hoped would be a sailing date wasn’t exactly what she’d had in mind for ‘family time’. He wants me to find a nice young man and spend time with him on a boat, but the first chance I get Papa decides to clam-jam me.
From up on shore, the sound and lights of a large human vehicle screeching to a halt heralded the last of their party to arrive. Kalai heard the clomping footsteps coming down the pier and moved to the railing to lend a hand.
“Ahoy Mary Jean! Raggedy Andy, you there?” Kalai stared with wide eyed surprise to see a human female, loaded down with plastic bags and sporting two human weapons on her shoulder. The two of them locked eyes, and while Kalai didn’t understand everything the girl shouted in surprise, she had caught and understood the phrase, “What the fuck?”
“Easy now, they’re my guests, and the one inside is the boss!” Andy appeared on the pier instantly before either Kalai or the woman could react further.
“Ya didn’t tell me we were having pur-” The woman glared at Kalai and her father. She had switched to Vatikre thankfully, but her tone was hostile as she dropped everything but her weapons. “I mean, hwun’eetums, aboard. A gal could get the wrong idea pretty quick in the dark when there’s no warning.”
“Knock it off Jackie. Let’s get the grub aboard and shove off.” Andy picked up some of the bags and took the guns as Kalai offered a helping hand over the railing. “Oh, Kalai, this is Jackie. Jackie? Kalai. That’s her dad over there, Doc He’osforos. He saw and treated Kay Tee a few years back.” Andy jerked his head towards the direction of Kalai’s father as she held out a hand to the human girl. On a quick inspection, she appeared to be about the same age as her and Andy. She had a round face and was about as dark complected as Andy was. She was shorter, only a few inches taller than Papa, but when Jackie grabbed Kalai’s hand to hop up onto the rail, she could feel the strength and the compact muscle hidden by the baggy sweatshirt and pants.
“Wait a minute, did you say Mini-Me over there saw Kay Tee? You’re fuckin’ with me!” Jackie stumbled a bit as she hopped down onto the deck with a loud thunk and advanced on Papa who shrank away at her advance. “You saw li’l Kay Tee? Where the fuck is he? Is he alright? Is he still fighting the good fight?”
“Last I saw, yes, he was ‘fighting the good fight.’” Papa looked over at Andy with a slightly worried expression. Andy smacked the girl in the back of the head, causing her to flinch and she opened the door to the cabin for Andy to go inside.
Jackie rubbed the back of her head and laughed. “Well that’s a little bit of alright, innit? Maybe today’s gonna be a good day after all!”
“Jackie, get suited up and get on the bow. I need a good pair of eyes on the roller horns,” Kalai heard Andy shout from the cabin, followed by a whole lot of thumping and banging from cabinets being opened and closed.
“You got it, ol’ man. We going to your place or mine?” Jackie sidestepped in and opened a tiny little closet and pulled out a set of rain gear that was identical to what Andy was wearing. Kalai collected herself and stood in the doorway next to her father as they both leaned in.
“Mine; Chuck said the Yaw’much are running from the South. We’ll do a set nor’west of Lummi in the Rosario and see if we can get some Fraser Kings,” Andy replied as he turned the engine back on and the vessel roared to life.
“Chuck? Isn’t that one of your cousins? I didn’t know he could keep track of the movements of Salmon, may I ask how he does it?” Mama Sakalbi perked up as she pulled a set of earplugs out of a pocket and inserted them.
Andy prevaricated a bit, looking from Jackie back to Sakalbi then to Kalai and Papa. “I’d rather not answer that-”
“Breakin’ the law, breakin’ the law! Breakin’ the law, breakin’ the law!”
Jackie began singing a human song, and Andy threw her the dirtiest of looks as she finished getting into the orange coveralls. Mama Sakalbi sputtered as Andy shrugged apologetically.
“Make a hole!” Jackie called, and she and Andy came back out as Kalai and Papa made room for them. Andy hopped back onto the dock to cast off while Papa ducked into the cabin.
“Can I help?” Kalai offered as Andy shoved the vessel off and leapt the gap over the black water below.
“You want to be useful? Come forward! I could use an extra set of eyes!” Jackie called back, and Kalai felt a slap on her shoulder from the boisterous human woman.

Andy stood at the helm, watching Jackie and Kalai as he leaned to get a better view of them past the Net drum. The bow was lifting up again, and the gentle little swells became like speed bumps, jostling them up and down in a predictable bouncing rhythm.
“Are you sure you couldn’t slow down, Andy? It’s a bit rough, don’t you think?” Sakalbi was hanging on to the table and her thermos with a worried expression on her face.
“I could, but we’ll miss the morning set. We want to bomb out the buoy right when the tide changes. If we’re lucky, then we’ll get around seventy or eighty by slack tide this afternoon and call it a day.”
“How do you know where to fish?” Dr. He’osforos was making a good show of standing and maintaining his balance with his hand on the booth.
“Well, there’s two ways you know. The first is you fish the spots your family’s fished since time began. Every family has about two or three different secret spots that we know there’s fish in, and we’re pretty defensive about their locations. The second is by smell. Right now it’s the tail end of the King season, and you can smell them in the water.” Andy turned and saw the incredulity etched on the faces of the two aliens.
“No, I’m serious! King Salmon slime is really pungent, and you can smell them when they’re close to the surface. We get to the fishing spot and take a deep whiff. If we smell them, we’ll set the nets.” Andy laughed at the disbelief on their faces as the GPS on his omnipad beeped and he turned to sail around the last buoy and head for the fishing ground.
“I’ve never noticed that in any of the Kings we’ve raised-”
Andy suppressed a laugh as they caught a larger swell as they left the lee of Lummi Island. Andy reveled in the feeling of weightlessness as the deck rose up and fell out from underneath their feet, leaving everyone suspended for a moment in midair before falling back down. A massive spray of water rose and washed over the deck, drenching Kalai and Jackie, who were still forward. “Cloned and farmed Kings don’t have that same smell. Wild ones smell and taste different, I’m telling you!” Andy pulled back slightly on the throttle as they climbed the next swell. “Brace!” he called as they climbed and fell once again.
There was a look of fear on Sakalbi’s face as she gripped the table for dear life, but to Andy’s surprise, the Doctor looked completely unfazed, and was handling the rise and fall of the deck like an old salt. “You look like you’ve done this before, Doc.”
“I’ve done a stint or two at sea before,” he spoke, in the same tone Andy would have used when trying not to sound too confident, and Andy smiled.
“Kalai keeps talking about loving the sea and sailing. Did you teach her to sail?”
“Yes, me and her mothers. When they were home, we would take the family yacht out in the Vaascon Straits and sail around the Occidiens. Kalai practically spent all her early childhood on a sailboat.”
“And almost every waking moment on one in Junior Academy. I swear you couldn’t dig her out with a trowel when she wanted to go sailing,” Sakalbi managed to add in a word as the boat slowed, and the dramatic rise and fall of the deck slowed with it.
“What about you, Mr. Shelokset, did your father teach you to sail too?”
“I was too young before he passed. My Great Uncle Willy taught me after I came home, and Grandma took me out to the family fishing sites when she wasn’t busy with the Council. For the first two or three years after they let us come home, fishing was the only way to feed our families, but the Militia and the Cambrians would try and sink our boats or arrest us whenever we tried to go out.”
“And that’s why you’re so good at maneuvering your vessel in the dark with no instruments?” Mrs. Vaida had folded her arms, and her voice twinged with that imperious tone she’d had when they’d first met.
Andy huffed a dry laugh. “I did what I had to for me and my people and to survive, Ma’am. I don’t like breaking the law or dodging lasers and gunfire, but there’s a lot of poor families that need to eat.”
The GPS beeped, and Andy gave Mrs. Vaida a slightly defiant look to counter her furrowed brow. “We’re here,” he said as he threw the engine in neutral and opened the cabin door.
Andy walked out and took a deep breath, but all he could smell was the net and the exhaust from the engine. “HEY JACKIE! WE SMELL MONEY?” Andy yelled out as he took stock of the sky. The first signs of sunrise were chasing all but the morning stars away and a light fog was rolling in from the north.
“FUCK YEAH I CAN SMELL ‘EM, ANDY! LET’S BOMB OUT AND GET BREAKFAST GOING!” Jackie looked slightly manic as she smiled brightly. Kalai, on the other hand, looked wet and miserable as she shivered, arms wrapped around herself. Andy gave his cousin a disgusted look as he pieced together what had happened. Every deckhand learned when to duck behind the raised bow and the roller horns that guided the nets so as not to get a faceful of spray when cutting through a swell. It was also a classic hazing trick for Senior Deckhands to let Junior Deckhands learn this the hard way.
Andy moved forward to stand in front of the two of them. Kalai was trying to squeeze her coat dry, but Andy knew it wouldn’t do much good until the sun came out. Jackie at least had the sense to look a little remorseful. “Kalai, why don’t you go sit in the cabin and get out of that wet coat. It’s cold enough out here even for us-”
“No way, Andy. Junior deckhand Kally here wants to impress you and get her dainty soft hands dirty! She’s been bragging about being a sailorwoman and wants to learn to fish ‘your way!” Jackie gave Kalai’s shoulder a wet slap as the poor alien woman went blue. Out of cold or embarrassment, Andy couldn’t tell.
All Andy could do was shake his head and huff. “Ok then! Secure the buoy and sling on my mark. I’ll get us in position!” Andy couldn’t help but chuckle as he heard Jackie start ordering Kalai about. Andy went back into the cabin and looked in the closet/bathroom to see if there was anything hanging up that he could give Kalai. There was only the one rain slicker and a few of Andy’s old sweaters from when he was a lot smaller. Well, looks like I’ll just be cold today. He quickly stripped out of his sweatshirt and grabbed the slicker before throwing a switch on the main control. Dr. He’osforos and Mrs. Vaida threw him quizzical looks as he went back outside wearing less than when he came in. He was down to a sleeveless shirt and his coveralls, and the morning breeze cut right through him and he braced his jaw to keep it from chattering.
“We’re ready to go- Andy, why are you practically naked from the waist up?” Kalai was staring wide eyed at him as he approached her and Jackie was on the bow. Jackie had everything ready; the buoy line was strung through the horns and ready to toss out. A giant orange and blue beach ball sized float hung at the end of the line to mark the end and make it easier to pick up later.
“Trade me your coat for these. If Jackie’s putting you to work, you’ll need these to keep warm.”
“I’m alright, I can-”
“I’m the Skipper of this boat, and I’m ordering you to take off that wet coat and put these on; and Jackie?” Andy gave his cousin a long and piercing look. “Give her the elbow gloves, not the halfsies.”
The scoff and the muttered Salishian profanities meant he’d read the next prank she’d had in mind right. She was planning on giving her the cloth gloves with only the palms and fingers coated in rubber. While perfectly fine for fishing, Andy knew they tended to get soaked through very quickly and did nothing to keep jellyfish stingers and fish slime off your hands. Kalai sputtered for a moment before she complied gratefully and she accepted the dry clothes and rain slicker.
Andy saw Jackie give him a strange look before looking back at Kalai, but he paid it no mind. He walked back to the controls on the drum and switched off the hydraulics, placing the mechanism in neutral. “SLING IT!” Andy called as he took the small jerry rigged steering wheel and threw the boat in reverse. Kalai jumped as the line started unspooling the net into the water at a rapid pace.
Andy set an ‘S’ bend in the quarter mile long net, zigzagging backwards until they came to the end of the line. Andy stopped the boat as Jackie tied off the other large buoy and tossed it over the side, unstringing the cork-line from the roller horns in the process. He pulled hard over and put a bit of distance from the net before shutting the engine down. The line of white and yellow corks marking the net bobbed lazily with the swells as silence settled over the water again. The waves rocked the boat gently as Andy found his sea legs again.
“Alright, I’ll get breakfast going. Jackie, Kalai? Post the watch for seals,” Andy called as he walked back into the cabin to fire up the tiny little gas stove.
Sakalbi, having found the confidence to stand at last, poked her head out of the cabin and stood on by the hatch to the fish hold. “Seals? Why would you need to watch for seals?”
Andy grit his teeth and looked over from where he was cracking open and scrambling eggs. “They’re the spawn of Satan and we hate their guts!” Andy bit out. Jackie came back and pulled the two shotguns and a pair of binoculars from the closet. Andy reached over to a side cabinet and pulled out a box of shells for them. Both his boss and the Doctor’s eyes got wide.
“Seals are the enemy of our blood. Were it not for the invasion, our unending war against these vermin would continue to this day!” Jackie growled as she loaded one for herself and rested the other on Andy’s seat at the helm.
The look of growing horror on Sakalbi’s face towards their facetious declarations caused Andy to chuckle a bit, before launching into an explanation. “We’re not fans of the species because they’ll wait until a fish gets caught in the net and then they’ll steal it, costing us a fish AND ripping a big hole in our nets that we then have to take time to repair. We use the shotguns and buckshot to give them a nice welt and convince them not to hang around, because they’ll wait up on the surface and watch the buoys, just like us. A single seal can and will take between five and ten fish. The worst is when they start getting full, they’ll just bite out the bellies of a salmon in the net. We can’t really do anything with that fish once it’s ‘seal-bit’. So yes, as fishermen, we hate them.”
“Learned opportunism in apex predators as a response to human activity… I think I’ll go see this behavior for myself!” Sakalbi practically rushed out the door towards the bow where Jackie was sitting on the roller horns explaining to Kalai how to spot the bastards, leaving Andy alone in the cabin with the Doctor while he cooked breakfast for them all.
Dr. He’osforos sat down heavily in the booth and pulled out his omnipad. “I’ve had a word with my friend in the Interior. She’s pulled the warrant for your brother, and I’ve withdrawn the charges I filed.”
Andy froze and turned around slowly. The only sound was the sizzle and pop of the eggs and chorizo that he’d added to them in the skillet. “You mean… it’s done? He can come home?” A wave of light headed euphoria swept over Andy and he swayed with the gentle rocking of the boat. “I will pay you back, Doc-”
The doctor held up his hand and stopped Andy. “We’ll call it even, but there’s something… I was able to get my hands on this,” Andy watched as the doctor swiped something towards his omnipad and it dinged. “What is it if I may-”
“Are you really asking an Indian to tell you a story? Because it’s going to be a long one if you are.” “I’m Sevastutavan, young man; we invented long stories.”
Andy froze and stared at the screen of his omnipad. The Vatikre was heavily accented, and Andy had a bit of trouble with the unfamiliar accent, but centered in the frame in a hospital room, sitting in a wheelchair, was a Salishian boy. Andy blinked in surprise as he stared at the screen. “Is that-”
“I am Ikw’is’hi’ehlah, and this bearer is… of the Orca Clan Sheloksets. I drove our Haida enemies onto the rocks and took many heads when they attacked our winter village on Orcas Island. I signed the Treaty with the Great White Father and I fought against the slavers of the south-”
Andy wanted to grab the omnipad but the smell of overcooking eggs brought his attention back to breakfast and Andy stirred and scrapped the food quickly, trying to save it.
“I asked her for any materials she could give me on your brother. Pictures, recordings, anything. This is what she gave me. It's the last known recording of your brother during an interrogation conducted by a Navy Commissar prior to his escape. It seems he made friends with a Pod of Deaths Head Commandos. Quite a bit of the recording has been redacted, but… there are portions of it where he talks about his family and his history. I thought you might like to have it.”
Andy hurriedly pulled out paper plates and a slice of bread for everyone and scooped a heaping portion of the chorizo eggs onto them. He handed the doctor his before leaning out the cabin door. “Slop’s on, come and get it!”
Andy sat down after moving the shotgun out of the way and started the video over again as the three women came back to grab their plates and lost himself watching his brother start telling his story.
“What’s that?” Andy heard Kalai ask over his shoulder, and he paused the video.
“That’s my brother! That’s Kay Tee!”
“Holy shit, what?” Jackie nearly shoved Kalai into Andy as she jammed her bread slice down her gullet and crowded in to see the screen.
Andy started the video over a second time and they watched in silence. “God, that brings back memories. Back when mom was still alive and before we broke up the warband. I can’t believe that slippery little punk ghosted a pod of Commandos for two fucking years! Holy shit, that’s badass!”
Before Andy could say anything, Sakalbi started coughing and brought the binoculars up. “Uh, Andy? Jackie? What do we do about sharks?”
Jackie looked at Andy in confusion. “Sharks? There’s nothing but Dogs around here.”
“Well those are shark fins and they’re charging the net!” Sakalbi pointed and Andy looked up to see dorsal fins charging the center of the net.
Andy looked at Jackie and spoke the same words in tandem, “Oh shit!”

2023.05.28 03:52 Necrotimon Policy for New York Comic Con
I'm planning to attend my first ever comic con this fall, and I really want to cosplay as killa from escape from tarkov. I have almost the entire kit ready to go, but my issue is that the policy is very vague on their policy regarding weapons. From what I have found their website says "Toy guns as long as they do not look like real ones, cannot function or shoot projectiles and have an orange tip on the barrel. The barrel of all prop firearms must be covered with brightly-colored caps."
Noting the part that says "Toy guns that don't look like real ones" and "The barrel must be covered with a brightly colored cap" would leave me to believe that if I have the standard orange tip it should pass this rule correct?
Secondly, my main idea was to get an airsoft gun which is an exact copy of the one I want to reproduce, and with this, I could very easily remove the internal components like the battery and the gun would be 100% in operable.
Basically I'm just trying to figure out if this fits the requirements because I really want to do this costume but I don't want to go through the effort of buying the gun and modifilying it to comply with the rules just to get told it isn't allowed. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

2023.05.28 03:14 bay30three I earn more than 99% of people, but I probably spend less than 95%. Here's how.
(Long post alert - I posted this on /australia but it got deleted automatically - is this due to insufficient post karma? I only joined Reddit recently, after years of lurking)
I am a 40M suburban dad in Sydney. Dual income, 2 children under 6.
I work in a professional capacity, and while I don't want to reveal my annual income, I'll drop a hint and say I paid 126K in personal income tax last year.
With that sort of income, many will say that just about everything is affordable to me. I am aware there is a cost of living crisis out there, and don't wish to come across as insensitive. However I would l like to share some of my tips on how to live on the cheap.
1) My groceries are cheap
I don't eat meat/fish/eggs/dairy. Yep, full plant based diet since early 2021, for my health/animals and the environment (I've heard all the arguments against veganism so let's not get into it here).
I live on beans/ rice/ vegetables/ fruit/ nuts and seeds. I go through two bags of the 'McKenzie's 12 blend soup mix' per week, at a cost of $4.60 per week. Brown rice I eat costs $19 for 5kg (I usually stock up when they are half price, at $9.50). I consume 200g of rice per day, which is about $2.66 per week when bought on special, $5.32.
My other staples are steamed/sauteed broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, zucchinis, sweet corn, sweet potato, eggplant, kale, and fresh cherry tomatoes, red capsicum, cucumber, lettuce, as well as chia seeds, hemp seeds, roasted cashews and almonds. These aren't expensive items either.
I don't eat the vegan sausages/burger patties or cheese. I eat a whole foods plant based diet.
My snacks are fruit. Usually apples, bananas, kiwifruit, grapes are staples, with occasional berries when they are cheap.
When prices of certain items go up (I remember when broccoli/lettuce/red capsicum became 2-3x their normal price in the last 1-2 years), I don't buy them. I never complained when broccoli was twice as expensive for a while, but simply bought other vegetables.
Just yesterday I noticed that the blackberries and raspberries my children like were $5.50 a punnet, up from their usual $3.50-4.50 a punnet. So I didn't buy them, and bought extra mandarins and pears instead, at $2.50/kg and $3.90 per kg respectively.
Also I don't buy any processed food. No potato crisps (they were $3-4 per bag when I stopped buying them, but I've recently seen them selling for $6.50 a bag), no biscuits, no chocolate, no lollies, no cakes or cookies or anything with refined sugar.
2) I don't buy lunch when I'm at work
I pack my own lunch the previous night, while I'm cooking dinner. Lunch is basically a 2/3 serving of the vegetables/beans/rice I had the night before. as I find bought lunches are unhealthy, and aren't substantial enough to fill me up. My packed lunch probably costs me $3-4 in ingredients.
I used to buy lunch every day, at a cost of $10-12 daily, which meant around $2500 per year on lunch alone. Now it probably costs around $840.
3) I don't drink alcohol
I went through a craft beewine/cheese/cured meat phase for about 10 years, but gave these up not long after I gave up eating meat or other animal products. I've spent 0 cents on these foods in the past 2 years.
When I was a regular drinker, beers at the pub used to be $7.50 for Tooheys/Resches/Carlton Draught and $9.50 for the likes of Balter, Pirate Life, Feral, but I believe they cost up to $12.50. No thanks.
I used to go grocery shopping, spend $120 on groceries, and think nothing of going next door to Liquorland and spending $120 on alcohol. Now I shake my head at the mere thought of it.
4) I don't buy coffee or eat in cafes.
I went through a trendy cafe phase in my 20s and 30s, and thought nothing of paying $24 for a cafe breakfast and $4.50 for a large flat white. Now I make my own coffee at home. I buy green beans at a cost for $12 per kg and roast them myself (I bought a coffee roaster for $950 four years ago which has paid for itself many times over), and use 10g of coffee per cup, which works out to be 12 cents per cup. My soy milk costs $2 per litre, and I use around 150mL per cup of coffee, at a cost of 30c per cup. So my coffee costs around 42 cents to make.
I haven't eaten in a cafe for about 5 years now.
5) I almost never order in, or get takeaway
Not that there are many good plant based meal delivery/takeaway options out there anyway, and I find ordering in/takeaway meals to be expensive, unsatisfying, lacking in substance and not worth the cost. I avoid refined sugar and there is far too much in most takeaway meals for my liking. I eat them begrudgingly, occasionally (when my wife orders them).
The cost of a meal is the cost of material, labour, business insurance, electricity/gas, rent, advertising, accounting + the profits.
The cost of my own meals are the cost of the materials + gas/electricity. Huge difference.
I honestly enjoy my own meals more.
6) My fitness routine is free
I don't go to the gym. I do 100 pushups, 20 pull-ups, and 50 sit-ups every day (without fail). I also run a total of 15-20km weekly, and enter 2 half marathons a year at a cost of around $140 per event. My running shoes cost me around $120-140 every 18-24 months.
7) My entertainment costs very little
I pay $120 per year for a Disney+ subscription, mainly for my children. It has more content than I could watch in my lifetime. We do a Family Movie Night once a week, usually Disney/Pixar animation films.
I also watch stuff on Youtube, and don't pay anything to skip ads or anything.
I have been to the cinema twice in the last 7 years, to see the latest James Bond and Top Gun 2 (I recall paying $27 per ticket at Hoyts). I stopped going to the movies regularly when the cost of a movie ticket hit $20, also around the time streaming services became available for $10 a month.
8) I don't use heating in winter or cooling in summer.
I am rugged in up 4 layers at the moment, as the morning temperature in my living area falls down to 14.5 degrees. I wear a thermal top, a knitted top, a polar fleece jacket and then an Oodie on top.
In summer I don't use the air con. It's singlets and shorts in summer, and when it gets too hot to sleep, it's a fan on timer to switch off after 1 hour, and it works every time.
I live in a townhouse and pay around $200 per quarter for electricity (for a family of 4). My next door neighbour pays $800 per quarter, as he heats/cools his home all the time.
9) I don't spend much money on clothes or shoes
My favourite clothing brand is yd, my socks are from Target and my shoes are $120 Adidas sneakers.
I have clothes and shoes for every weather and every occasion, and don't buy new clothes or shoes unless I'm replacing old ones to be thrown out.
10) I don't spend much money on the latest tech.
My hp laptop cost me $1200 in 2017. Still runs like new, and unlikely to need an upgrade for another 5 years. My phone is a Samsung S20 FE, which I bought 2.5 years ago for $750.
My Galaxy tablet cost me $280 earlier this year. I buy a new one every 5 years on average.
I can't fathom paying $3000 for a 14 inch Macbook, $1500 for an iPad, or $1400 for an iPhone.
My mobile plan is through a cheap provider at $25 per month.
So there you have it, the reasons why I believe I spend less than 90% of people while earning in the top 1%.
I'm not penny pinching or forcing myself to live like a pauper to save money while denying myself the pleasures I want. We go on overseas holidays 2-3 weeks every year, live in a nice spot in Sydney, own two luxury European cars, and own some pretty nice things.
My hobbies are reading, blogging, going out (which means exploring my favourite parts of Sydney, and taking snaps), posting on various internet forums, watching movies at home.
I grew up in a middle income household and being thrifty was instilled in me from a young age. When I was a student I lived liked a student, and when I started earning I didn't really change my spending habits.
Thanks for reading!

I have been to the cinema twice in the last 7 years, to see the latest James Bond and Top Gun 2 (I recall paying $27 per ticket at Hoyts). I stopped going to the movies regularly when the cost of a movie ticket hit $20, also around the time streaming services became available for $10 a month.
8) I don't use heating in winter or cooling in summer.
I am rugged in up 4 layers at the moment, as the morning temperature in my living area falls down to 14.5 degrees. I wear a thermal top, a knitted top, a polar fleece jacket and then an Oodie on top.
In summer I don't use the air con. It's singlets and shorts in summer, and when it gets too hot to sleep, it's a fan on timer to switch off after 1 hour, and it works every time.
I live in a townhouse and pay around $200 per quarter for electricity (for a family of 4). My next door neighbour pays $800 per quarter, as he heats/cools his home all the time.
9) I don't spend much money on clothes or shoes
My favourite clothing brand is yd, my socks are from Target and my shoes are $120 Adidas sneakers.
I have clothes and shoes for every weather and every occasion, and don't buy new clothes or shoes unless I'm replacing old ones to be thrown out.
10) I don't spend much money on the latest tech.
My hp laptop cost me $1200 in 2017. Still runs like new, and unlikely to need an upgrade for another 5 years. My phone is a Samsung S20 FE, which I bought 2.5 years ago for $750.
My Galaxy tablet cost me $280 earlier this year. I buy a new one every 5 years on average.
I can't fathom paying $3000 for a 14 inch Macbook, $1500 for an iPad, or $1400 for an iPhone.
My mobile plan is through a cheap provider at $25 per month.
So there you have it, the reasons why I believe I spend less than 90% of people while earning in the top 1%.
I'm not penny pinching or forcing myself to live like a pauper to save money while denying myself the pleasures I want. We go on overseas holidays 2-3 weeks every year, live in a nice spot in Sydney, own two luxury European cars, and own some pretty nice things.
My hobbies are reading, blogging, going out (which means exploring my favourite parts of Sydney, and taking snaps), posting on various internet forums, watching movies at home.
I grew up in a middle income household and being thrifty was instilled in me from a young age. When I was a student I lived liked a student, and when I started earning I didn't really change my spending habits.

Images
We Apache: $575
Shoots fine. Comes with one long green gas mag, holds gas. Very solid gun. Only reason why I’m selling is because I have multiple. Pretty rare here in the states. Light scratching on receiver and front site.
Scattergun SV: $175
Has slight leak. Rubber gasket in buffer tube likely needs lubed up. Shoots fine. Comes with 7 shells.
GHK G5: $250
Comes with one green gas mag and a t1 styled optic. The output valve in the mag needs an o-ring to hold gas. The optic does not turn on so battery is possibly dead. Shoots fine.
WE SVD w/ parts gun: $350
Very good condition. Never fielded. Heavy kick. Mag holds gas. Second mag needs fill valve. Almost enough parts to make a second rifle. High FPS so I would recommend tapping mag or npas.
WE 4.3 w/ Magazines: $145
Does not function. Pull trigger and gas is expelled, does not blow back. 2 Co2 mags and 2 gg mags. One of the gg mags has slight leak, o-ring could use lubed up.
WE 3.8 gg mag: $20
VP9 gg mag: $20
Random AK Hicaps: $20

2023.05.28 02:16 Majestic-Swimmer-379 Unsolicited Expert Soldier Badge advice
I will be providing tips and advice on how to obtain the extremely coveted and prestigious expert soldier badge. Some may say more impressive than an EMFB and EIB put together.
As of right now, there are few differences between the criteria to earn a EIB and ESB. The main differences are the time requirements for the EFPA and some weapon lanes such as shot gun or javelin might be omitted from testing for ESB soldiers. As more soldiers earn their ESB, testing criteria might change into somethings more unique to non infantry soldiers. Who knows.
When I went for my ESB, I never did a EFPA before. My time was around 22 minutes flat. Learning how to breathe in your plate carrier and pace yourself is what will get you a good time. If you've never done kit runs, get some time under your feet and focus on your breathing and gradually increase your speed. When it comes to the other events, you don't have to do everything in one setting. For example, for your 30 deadstop push ups. You can do 10 at a time until complete, same with your sandbag tosses, and everything else. Practice your deadstop pushups with your plate carrier and during your train up, weighed push ups can easily get you tight and cost you time. The key is to be constantly moving, even if it's in small increments.
Do as many day and night reps as you possibly can, even if you are tired or feel confident. The more reps you do, the more you learn the course, and you might even get the same points during testing. When I went to test, I got two of the same points I've had before for both day and night.
Use fine point mechanical pencils and map markers to plot your points, the smaller your points are when you plot them, the more accurate you will be when finding your points. Invest in a good protractor. Invest in a map case to protect your map and score sheets from the elements, it rains, it snows, it gets muddy. If your score sheet is unreadable to the graders, you'll be a NO-go. protect your map and score sheet. Invest in a decent redlense headlamp. 550 cord your compass to your gear so you don't lose it.
Bring extra pencils and protectors with you incase you lose one! Constantly spot check yourself so you don't lose your score sheet. INVEST in a map case or put it in a zipblock bag! When I did my courses, it was wet and muddy. Don't be a no go because you slip and fall into mud or the rain makes your paper unreadable.
Get as many reps as possible, you do not need physical equipment to practice. You can practice though a method called shadow boxing, where you go through the motions physically and talk yourself through what you're doing. Much like a boxer pretending to fight his opponent. Same concept and it is very effective. YOU CAN DO THIS with every lane in E3B. While youre waiting in lane, when you're studying in your free time, DO THIS.
TAKE NOTES FROM WHAT THE GRADERS GIVE YOU. Write as many clear notes as you can. Each lane, you should write a quick list on how to preform the task. IF THE GRADERS ALLOW YOU TO FILM THEM GIVING INSTRUCTIONS, FILM THEM. This will help you immensely.
ALWAYS REFER TO YOUR E3B handbook! Never go off hearsay, never go off Mr. highspeed. ALWAYS refer to your handbook!
During practice test conditions, GO TO AS MANY LANES AS POSSIBLE. See what the graders are looking for. IF YOU GET A NO GO- write a note as to why you got a no go and learn from it! So when you test during the real thing, you know what to look out for.
Team up with 2-3 other people who really want to earn their badge and practice and study with them, correct each other when one is wrong. When it comes time to test, practice with each other, then when you preform 3 good reps with 0 failures. GO TO TEST.
If you happen to get a no go during testing, do not let to effect you! Remain calm and patient, realize what you did wrong, retest, get your go, and continue. Do not lose your composure and make a mistake that will end your time at E3B. During testing, I got a no go during my second lane of patrols and first lane of medical. I passed by remaining calm, keeping my composure, and taking my time at the other lanes.
Remember, there are no easy lanes. There are no freebee lanes. During my ESB, there were 80 double no gos on NVGs because everyone thought it was a freebee and they didn't have to study or prep for! take every lane seriously and practice!
If you have downhills, I recommend jogging down them as much as possible without burning yourself out. This will increase your time.
Don't be afraid to job/ruck up hills aswell. Just dont burn yourself out.
If you make it this far, this is your final event. Dig deep and give it your all, don't quit on yourself.
Bring snacks, water, and electrolytes. You should be eating and drinking plenty of water throughout the event. If you find yourself cramping up, it's because you either need to drink water or eat something. Bring things like bananas, cliff bars, sports drinks.
Summarized advice: EAT PLENTY OF FOOD AND DRINK WATER DURING TRAIN UP and TESTING. Stop completely with drinking energy drinks and massive amounts of caffeine. Trust me, there were a lot of fall outs during the 12 mile ruck because people were either heat causalities or did not have the appropriate nutrients in their body because they weren't eating as much as they should.
E3B is around 19 days of your life. If you devote all 19 days to eat, sleep, and breathe E3B, you will earn your badge. You shouldn't be trying to party or drink or anything weird during E3B. To be successful, your life is literally eating, sleeping, studying, stretching, and breathing E3B. I even had dreams of E3B. Meal prep, bring packed lunches or eat MRES, do not skip out on breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Trust me, you will need as much water and nutrients in your body. Take advantage of free days or the hour or two they give you every day for free lanes. THERE ARE NO EASY lanes. People think IMTs and NVGS are easy so they dont study it or practice it, the "easy" or "freebee" lanes is what takes out the most people during E3B. Practice and study everything. The time you devote now, will ensure you don't have to do this again. team up with people who want the badge as badly as you want it. Don't waste your time talking to or trying to convivence people who don't want their badge. Don't give up, stay focused. I am a 91B and I managed to slip through the cracks and get my ESB. You can too.

As of right now, there are few differences between the criteria to earn a EIB and ESB. The main differences are the time requirements for the EFPA and some weapon lanes such as shot gun or javelin might be omitted from testing for ESB soldiers. As more soldiers earn their ESB, testing criteria might change into somethings more unique to non infantry soldiers. Who knows.
- EFPA: This is a 30 minute timed event to preform the following in full OCP, helmet, and plate carrier with plates : 1 mile run. 30 dead stop push ups. 100 meter sprint. 16 (40lb) sandbag tosses onto a 65" platform, we used a LMTV flat rack. 50 meter water jug carry (40lbs each hand). 25 meter high crawl. 25 meter 3-5 second rush. 1 mile run. After all that, you're complete.
When I went for my ESB, I never did a EFPA before. My time was around 22 minutes flat. Learning how to breathe in your plate carrier and pace yourself is what will get you a good time. If you've never done kit runs, get some time under your feet and focus on your breathing and gradually increase your speed. When it comes to the other events, you don't have to do everything in one setting. For example, for your 30 deadstop push ups. You can do 10 at a time until complete, same with your sandbag tosses, and everything else. Practice your deadstop pushups with your plate carrier and during your train up, weighed push ups can easily get you tight and cost you time. The key is to be constantly moving, even if it's in small increments.
- Day and night land navigation: You must find 3/4 points for both day and night in a 3 hour period for both.
Do as many day and night reps as you possibly can, even if you are tired or feel confident. The more reps you do, the more you learn the course, and you might even get the same points during testing. When I went to test, I got two of the same points I've had before for both day and night.
Use fine point mechanical pencils and map markers to plot your points, the smaller your points are when you plot them, the more accurate you will be when finding your points. Invest in a good protractor. Invest in a map case to protect your map and score sheets from the elements, it rains, it snows, it gets muddy. If your score sheet is unreadable to the graders, you'll be a NO-go. protect your map and score sheet. Invest in a decent redlense headlamp. 550 cord your compass to your gear so you don't lose it.
Bring extra pencils and protectors with you incase you lose one! Constantly spot check yourself so you don't lose your score sheet. INVEST in a map case or put it in a zipblock bag! When I did my courses, it was wet and muddy. Don't be a no go because you slip and fall into mud or the rain makes your paper unreadable.
- Lanes: You cannot receive more than 1 No-go per day. If you receive a double no go at the same lane or another single no go at another lane, your time at E3B is over. There are 10 medical, patrol, and weapons lanes. There are all skill level 1 tasks.
Get as many reps as possible, you do not need physical equipment to practice. You can practice though a method called shadow boxing, where you go through the motions physically and talk yourself through what you're doing. Much like a boxer pretending to fight his opponent. Same concept and it is very effective. YOU CAN DO THIS with every lane in E3B. While youre waiting in lane, when you're studying in your free time, DO THIS.
TAKE NOTES FROM WHAT THE GRADERS GIVE YOU. Write as many clear notes as you can. Each lane, you should write a quick list on how to preform the task. IF THE GRADERS ALLOW YOU TO FILM THEM GIVING INSTRUCTIONS, FILM THEM. This will help you immensely.
ALWAYS REFER TO YOUR E3B handbook! Never go off hearsay, never go off Mr. highspeed. ALWAYS refer to your handbook!
During practice test conditions, GO TO AS MANY LANES AS POSSIBLE. See what the graders are looking for. IF YOU GET A NO GO- write a note as to why you got a no go and learn from it! So when you test during the real thing, you know what to look out for.
Team up with 2-3 other people who really want to earn their badge and practice and study with them, correct each other when one is wrong. When it comes time to test, practice with each other, then when you preform 3 good reps with 0 failures. GO TO TEST.
If you happen to get a no go during testing, do not let to effect you! Remain calm and patient, realize what you did wrong, retest, get your go, and continue. Do not lose your composure and make a mistake that will end your time at E3B. During testing, I got a no go during my second lane of patrols and first lane of medical. I passed by remaining calm, keeping my composure, and taking my time at the other lanes.
Remember, there are no easy lanes. There are no freebee lanes. During my ESB, there were 80 double no gos on NVGs because everyone thought it was a freebee and they didn't have to study or prep for! take every lane seriously and practice!
- 12 mile ruck: 3 hours to preform a 12 mile road march in OCP, helmet, FLC or TAPS, gas mask, M4, and 35lb (dry weight) ruck.
If you have downhills, I recommend jogging down them as much as possible without burning yourself out. This will increase your time.
Don't be afraid to job/ruck up hills aswell. Just dont burn yourself out.
If you make it this far, this is your final event. Dig deep and give it your all, don't quit on yourself.
Bring snacks, water, and electrolytes. You should be eating and drinking plenty of water throughout the event. If you find yourself cramping up, it's because you either need to drink water or eat something. Bring things like bananas, cliff bars, sports drinks.
- Final event is assemble and dissemble your M4 and preform a functions check.
Summarized advice: EAT PLENTY OF FOOD AND DRINK WATER DURING TRAIN UP and TESTING. Stop completely with drinking energy drinks and massive amounts of caffeine. Trust me, there were a lot of fall outs during the 12 mile ruck because people were either heat causalities or did not have the appropriate nutrients in their body because they weren't eating as much as they should.
E3B is around 19 days of your life. If you devote all 19 days to eat, sleep, and breathe E3B, you will earn your badge. You shouldn't be trying to party or drink or anything weird during E3B. To be successful, your life is literally eating, sleeping, studying, stretching, and breathing E3B. I even had dreams of E3B. Meal prep, bring packed lunches or eat MRES, do not skip out on breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Trust me, you will need as much water and nutrients in your body. Take advantage of free days or the hour or two they give you every day for free lanes. THERE ARE NO EASY lanes. People think IMTs and NVGS are easy so they dont study it or practice it, the "easy" or "freebee" lanes is what takes out the most people during E3B. Practice and study everything. The time you devote now, will ensure you don't have to do this again. team up with people who want the badge as badly as you want it. Don't waste your time talking to or trying to convivence people who don't want their badge. Don't give up, stay focused. I am a 91B and I managed to slip through the cracks and get my ESB. You can too.
2023.05.28 02:03 leonkiefer My alcoholic brother crossed the line, I'm not sure what's going to happen next.
Thank you very much to anyone who reads, this is a long one.
I won't go into a large amount of detail with the backstory, but it's important to know this. I am 17, my brother is 25, and we lost our dad to suicide in 2020. He had a massive alcohol problem and after he passed, my brother's own alcohol issues became worse. This is not the first time something like this has happened, there has been countless times where he has threatened all of us, including my mother and my dog, but has never actually gotten physical. I don't have a lot of friends, and this is the only place I can talk about it right now, and I really need to.
Today, my brother came home drunk at about 7pm after drinking with his friends. He previously said he was quitting alcohol, but the pressure from his friends made him start drinking again. He has a lot of commitment issues. I was in the shower when he came home, and I wanted to stay in there to avoid seeing him, my mom was also out with her friends. Even when he's not drunk, I tend to avoid him due to our terrible relationship. I can't look at him the same way I used to after all the shit he's put my family through. He isn't nice when he's sober.
A bit later, he's making a ruckus as per usual when he's drunk, probably scaring my dog in the process. He calls my grandma, I presume because he wants someone to look after the dog while he sleeps, but he doesn't say that obviously, he lies and says "he misses you". My grandma, who's 75, is feeling scared and confused, and my grandpa comes over instead to see what's going on. He yells at my brother and tells him he needs to stop being manipulative, trying to get other people to do things for him and not having a promising future of his own. My grandpa offers to take me to his house, so I accept. I stay with them for an hour, and they're lovely people. My grandma is very sweet and caring, and my grandpa has been my father figure for a long time. It makes me really angry my brother treats them with such little respect...
My mom who's still out with her friends, reads my text that I sent her letting her know what's going on. She decides to end her night out and come home to check everything is okay with him being alone in the house with my dog. Me and my grandpa pick her up, take her home and find that my brother is asleep in his room, my grandpa wishes us well and leaves.
For about 30 minutes, everything was okay. My mom was understandably upset and angry, but my brother is asleep. He later wakes up, and starts making a ruckus again, swearing at his phone and using racial slurs. I have no idea what he was doing on his phone. My mom comes upstairs, pissed, and demands she gives her his phone, as she pays for it. This results in a huge argument, which escalates to the point of my brother threatening to "knock you out cold" and saying things like "you think you can take me on?"
Hearing this, I leave my room and shout downstairs to him: "Don't you DARE threaten her, she's your mother, how dare you" and he responds with some delusional argument that I don't even remember because it was that stupid and irrelevant. I don't threaten him, but I make it very clear that if he threatens her again or escalates the situation even more, I'll do something about it. I didn't know what I meant by this at the time, but I was thinking police.
After some more arguing from my brother and mom, my brother bangs on my door as hard as he possibly can. To me, even though he has never been physical, I felt like he was going to do something to hurt me or my mom, and I had to do something. I also felt quite boxed in in my room and felt as if I needed to defend myself and my family, so that's what I did. My brother is older and much, much stronger than me, so I stood no chance against him with my fists.
I grab my metal airsoft gun, and walk out of my room in a fit of blind rage. I swing the gun as hard as I can against the side of his head, stunning him and making him bleed all over the carpet. My mom is very shocked and scared for me, starts pushing me away and back into my room, saying "no, no, no, call the police, call grandad". Thankfully, my brother didn't hit me back. I can't tell if he didn't want to fight me because he doesn't want to hurt me, or if he felt genuinely threatened by me, but either way, I wasn't hurt. I point the gun at him, and say "THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU THREATEN MY MOM, DON'T FUCK WITH ME, TAKE ME ON" stuff like that, purely out of fear.
My brother leaves the house and my mom chases after him. She followed him because she doesn't want him to do something stupid, like go and kill himself. He goes up and down our quiet neighbourhood, shouting at my mom, shouting at nothing, making stupid claims and stuff like that. At this time, I was alone in the house, so I call the police. After being left on hold for 5 minutes, and being questioned for another 10, they send police to my house. My brother gets picked up by ambulance, and I am questioned by police in person with my mom and grandparents.
Everything ended up being fine with the police, but my mom was shook up and so was I. My mom and grandpa go to the emergency room with my brother while my grandma stays with me.
Overall, I regret what I did. I should have just pressed my back against the door and called the police. Violence was the wrong thing to do, especially in the way I did it. I probably hurt him really badly. At the time of writing, it's 1AM and I am home alone with my dog who's sleeping next to me on my bed, my mom and brother are in the emergency room, and my grandparents are at home.
I think that's about all that happened today that's worth talking about. I'm still extremely shook up and sad, sometimes I just wish I could have a good brother and a functioning family. Alcohol tears people apart. Thank you for reading, have a wonderful day. :-)

2023.05.28 01:24 BizarreTarot How to Survive the Hunter
Hello there, just came to welcome you to the platoon, and if you want to fight, you got to know this about what you need to do.
YOU HAVE BEEN SUPPLIED WITH THE STANDARD GEAR, ALONG WITH A GAS MASK TO DEAL WITH GAS POCKETS.
DO NOT LEAVE THE OUTPOST, AS AN UNKNOWN THREAT IS NEARBY.
THE FOLLOWING DETAILS OF THE ENVIREMONT HAS BEEN LISTED BELOW
GAS POCKETS
UNNATURAL HOLES
FALLEN TREES
UNTRIGGERED LANDMINES
ETC
PLEASE NOTE ALL OF THIS.
Anyways, you got all the info you need, any make sure you listen to it. Do not disobey your superiors, or do. A lot of people did that to leave the outpost.
Oh yeah, it's becoming nightfall as I'm writing this letter, so hopefully I live to meet you tomorrow.
Oh hey, I think someone's knocking on the door, so I'll check that out.

- Basic ground rule. You NEED to know this. Where we're deployed right now, something is here. And it's gonna find us if you don't know what it is
- You can't kill em, we've tried, and that's why you're here now.
- At night, be pretty loud. This thing is going to go after you're sleeping quarters if it thinks that the people in there are asleep and defenseless. It knows we have guns, and it's scared of them.
- If you're patrolling, make sure you have a weapon, some light, and something real louder than a gun. If you encounter it, we need to know.
- Buddy up. Don't do anything alone, it'll attack if it can get the jump on you.
- Don't fight it. We don't have enough ways to convince command to send more people here.
- If you encounter it at any moment that you cannot call for help, attempt to run away. It's fast, but it might be possible to outrun it.
- Don't listen to it's voice. We don't know how the hell this thing talks, but it will try to make you get out of your hiding place, or wherever you are. We've lost a few to that, and it is not pretty.
- Never forget your gun, this thing won't die easily, but it sure isn't invincible. A bullet to a leg should slow it down.
- Remember that this thing remembers faces, it can hold grudges. It's smart to cover your face, because if you somehow make it really angry, it will hunt you down.
- If for any reason, any form of defense is not available, we have a clue on how to escape it. It for some odd reason, will not attack someone that climbs a juniper tree. We have no clue why, but it just stops chasing them.
- Don't touch the blood.
- Remember that the place you're in isn't all too safe. There can OBVIOUSLY be threats besides the thing, read the following document for some info on where you're deployed.

2023.05.27 23:17 sixtyten6010 Help me connect and charge this LiPo battery please =]
Hi everyone! I hope someone can help me out here. I've just received this balance charger for some LiPo batteries used for an Airsoft gun.
The instructions are not exactly clear as to what do I do about this "Output Balance port" I understand you need to connect the small Tamiya connector to the corresponding connector and this smaller connector also that is for balancing.
But the female port on the charger is 5 pins where the male on the battery is 4 pins.
Image of the product from the place I bought it shows this same connector as on the battery being pluged into the charger. Do I just plug in the 4 pins and leave one pin remaining off to the side? It will only allow me to connect the balance connector flipped one way but I can chose to connect the first 4 and have one pin to the left side free, or I can leave 1 pin free on the right side.
Hasty diagram.... The Zeros ( 0 ) are the pins and the X ( x ) are the ones taken up by the connector
Like this?

I know how temperamental LiPo batteries can be, so I'm not about to just wing it and throw the connector on there. I'm not trying to burn down my house today. Thanks in advance for any help!

2023.05.27 23:05 Ok_Apple_1634 Orange tips?
I have never seen a video of people playing or having orange tips on their guns. Do I need to get some to play? I live in NY (not the city). I read that they are required to be on all airsoft guns on the internet. I just need some clarification thanks

2023.05.27 22:33 Sea-Sympathy5350 My wife cheated and my kids are not mine at all
I was married to a woman I met back in 2016, we had a great life, I know this is how all these stories start, but I thought this was real love. We got married in 2018 and 1 year later we had our first baby girl. It was an accident, but we were just so happy, we spent every night and day drooling over our daughter. We bragged to anyone that would listen. I had a full photo album for my daughter on my phone, everything about her first step, first haircut, first tooth, hell I took pictures of anything and kept it on my phone just waiting for someone to ask me about her. But they got a lot more than they ever expected, my work colleagues stopped asking and even warned new associates not to ask, Yes, I was the beaming proud daddy.
My daughter had just turned 2, My wife had made this wonderful dinner and her parents had already picked up our daughter for the night, I walked in after work and the lights were dimmed, the table was set for a romantic dinner, she had candles on the table, two bottles of what I assumed was wine. She was in the kitchen, when she walked out she was dressed as if we were going out for a fancy dinner, She had a sexy dress on, low cut and really over the top for a dinner at home, I walked up to her and grabbed her and gave her a kiss like no other, I had a bad day at work, it was one of those days nothing went right, and I got zero accomplished and was just frustrated and this was exactly what I needed. We sat down to eat, and I asked her why all the this, it was so far out of the normal. She said she had some awesome news; she was pregnant again. She had a visit with the Dr. earlier in the day, he confirmed she was pregnant and here’s the kicker, it was twins. That’s when she poured me a glass of wine and she took and opened the other bottle and that was when I noticed it was apple cider. I sat there absorbing all the information she just dropped on me, we were both ecstatic and twins nevertheless. Wow what a surprise, my mom was a twin, so we always knew this could be a possibility.
I was sitting there that night and thinking about how we would take my home office and change it into a nursery, It was no big deal, I rarely used my office, I would just checked my work e-mails in there and little else, I knew this would change our lives just like it had after the birth of our daughter. My wife didn’t work but spent a lot of time volunteering with the local social club, she had been doing this before we met and just continued for the entire time of our marriage. Her belly was getting plumper as time went by and our daughter was just so happy she was going to have 2 brothers, yes, we found out it was 2 boys. I love my daughter to death, but I always wanted a boy to play sports with and take them to boy scouts. I wanted to be the best dad to all my kids and would always support them in anything they wanted to do. After several months the boys were born in 2021, I was back to being the proud father of three children now, I bragged to everyone and showed pictures just like I did with my daughter. Me and my wife briefly talked about not wanting anymore kids and I was considering getting a vasectomy and she said that would be up to me.
A few weeks later I decided that I was going to have the vasectomy, I went to the doctor’s office and he said he needed to do a couple tests before setting up the surgery. I followed his request and took the test some were a bit invasive. He said he would call me with the results when they came in. A little over a week later the doctor’s office called and wanted me to schedule an appointment with the Dr. to review my results. This was strange, I thought that he would just set a date for the surgery, but now I was concerned, was there a problem with my tests and why he needed to see me in person. The following week I went into the doctor’s office, I was placed in his private office and was told he would be just a couple minutes. My nerves were raging as to why I needed this meeting, When the Dr. came in and sat down, he started by asking me if I had ever had an injury near my groin area as I was growing up. I thought about it for a few minutes, then I recalled that during high school I was on the baseball team and was hit by a ball in my groin area. I wasn’t wearing a cup and was in a lot of pain for the next few days but thought I was OK and just went on. I didn’t see a Dr. at the time, he looked uncomfortable and said he had to tell me something and I most likely wouldn’t want to hear it, then he said that I was sterile, and would never be able to have children, I told him he was wrong because I already had 3 children, he just looked at me not saying anything, but had a sorrow look in his expression, then It hit me like a ton of bricks just fell from the ceiling. He told me that would never have been possible, but I just kept saying he was wrong. He told me if I could get a sample from my kids, he would run DNA tests to see if I was the bio father or not. I agreed, I just knew he was wrong. He handed me the test to take home and instructed me how to collect the samples. I went home and just acted like life was fine and moved around the house as normal.
My wife went to the social club as normal, that’s when I took my daughter into her room and collected her sample, then I took one from one of the baby boys. The next day I returned to the Doctor’s office and was told he would call as soon as the results were in, and it could take a couple weeks. I got the call 10 days later, and the children weren’t mine… I had not said anything about the vasectomy to my wife, so she was unaware of any of the Doctor visits I had been making over the past month. When I returned home that night it was normal until my daughter went to bed and I let my wife know I needed to go out of town for work. This was something I had to do 1 to 2 times a year and not unusual. She asked me when I was going and where I was traveling to. I made up all the details at work, I even found an old itinerary of one of my past trips. I changed the dates on it and handed it to her so she knew where I would be each day and what times I would be in meetings.
As I was packing to go out on my business trip, my wife said she was going to have her parents take the kids for the next few days, she said she could use the time to relax in a quiet house to get some much-needed rest. OK the plan was set, I had placed a hidden camera in the living room, I set it up on my phone so I could watch in real time. When I left, I gave her a kiss and told her to get some needed rest and left the house.
I went to a motel about 10 miles away, I opened my phone to the camera app and just waited. Later that night, I seen when the AP showed up and I recognized him, he was the guy who ran the social club and he was married with 4 kids. My wife and I spent a lot of time with this couple, we were all friends, we had many dinners, parties, barbeques, and just hung out together. I went to my car and started the drive to my house, I parked on the street and checked the app and seen they were no longer in the living room. I opened the door in stealth mode, All his clothes were lying on the floor in the living room as well as on the stairs leading to our bedroom. I could hear something, but the door was closed, I grabbed all his clothes and threw them into the fireplace and hit the gas, making sure they were burning, then I walked to my gun safe, placed my 45 into my waist band, then I walked into the kitchen and grabbed 3 of those yard trash bags and put them in my back pocket hanging out. Then I took my phone out and started the camera to video the confrontation.
I was standing right outside my bedroom and could hear everything. I just stood there building my nerves before pushing open the door, I had my camera in hand, The looks on their faces were priceless. I walked in and in a nonchalant way and said in an overly calm voice “ don’t mind me I am just here for some clothes. He tried to get up and I just pointed at the gun in my waistband, he stopped and just pulled up the covers, I not sure what my wife was doing, and her voice was not coherent at this point. I walked to the closet and put all my clothes into 2 bags, the other one I filled with my stuff that was in the drawers and one last stop to the bathroom and collected my shaving gear. I walked to the door and stopped and said my next stop was his house, to tell his wife and show her the video I was currently making. I looked at my wife, I said I found out I was sterile, and the kids DNA was not mine. So, I am no longer responsible for child support for her affair children, and the house was all hers, as I would no longer be paying the mortgage on it. As I was leaving, I smiled and with a smirk in my voice told him he could find his clothes in the fireplace followed by a forced laugh.
I drove to his house, his wife invited me in, I asked her if she knew where her husband was, she replied he was at the social club, and I said no he sure wasn’t, I proceeded to show her the video. She was screaming towards me but not at me. She just burst into tears but I had no time for that right now as I was very distraught also. As I was leaving, I seen her husband show up as I was walking to my car, and he was wearing my wife’s robe rushing to the front door just to have it slammed in his face.
I didn’t talk, text, or email my wife again. The only time we spoke was through the lawyers, and never again in person all the way through the divorce proceedings.
My life changed that day and lost what I thought was my family but in fact was someone else’s.

My daughter had just turned 2, My wife had made this wonderful dinner and her parents had already picked up our daughter for the night, I walked in after work and the lights were dimmed, the table was set for a romantic dinner, she had candles on the table, two bottles of what I assumed was wine. She was in the kitchen, when she walked out she was dressed as if we were going out for a fancy dinner, She had a sexy dress on, low cut and really over the top for a dinner at home, I walked up to her and grabbed her and gave her a kiss like no other, I had a bad day at work, it was one of those days nothing went right, and I got zero accomplished and was just frustrated and this was exactly what I needed. We sat down to eat, and I asked her why all the this, it was so far out of the normal. She said she had some awesome news; she was pregnant again. She had a visit with the Dr. earlier in the day, he confirmed she was pregnant and here’s the kicker, it was twins. That’s when she poured me a glass of wine and she took and opened the other bottle and that was when I noticed it was apple cider. I sat there absorbing all the information she just dropped on me, we were both ecstatic and twins nevertheless. Wow what a surprise, my mom was a twin, so we always knew this could be a possibility.
I was sitting there that night and thinking about how we would take my home office and change it into a nursery, It was no big deal, I rarely used my office, I would just checked my work e-mails in there and little else, I knew this would change our lives just like it had after the birth of our daughter. My wife didn’t work but spent a lot of time volunteering with the local social club, she had been doing this before we met and just continued for the entire time of our marriage. Her belly was getting plumper as time went by and our daughter was just so happy she was going to have 2 brothers, yes, we found out it was 2 boys. I love my daughter to death, but I always wanted a boy to play sports with and take them to boy scouts. I wanted to be the best dad to all my kids and would always support them in anything they wanted to do. After several months the boys were born in 2021, I was back to being the proud father of three children now, I bragged to everyone and showed pictures just like I did with my daughter. Me and my wife briefly talked about not wanting anymore kids and I was considering getting a vasectomy and she said that would be up to me.
A few weeks later I decided that I was going to have the vasectomy, I went to the doctor’s office and he said he needed to do a couple tests before setting up the surgery. I followed his request and took the test some were a bit invasive. He said he would call me with the results when they came in. A little over a week later the doctor’s office called and wanted me to schedule an appointment with the Dr. to review my results. This was strange, I thought that he would just set a date for the surgery, but now I was concerned, was there a problem with my tests and why he needed to see me in person. The following week I went into the doctor’s office, I was placed in his private office and was told he would be just a couple minutes. My nerves were raging as to why I needed this meeting, When the Dr. came in and sat down, he started by asking me if I had ever had an injury near my groin area as I was growing up. I thought about it for a few minutes, then I recalled that during high school I was on the baseball team and was hit by a ball in my groin area. I wasn’t wearing a cup and was in a lot of pain for the next few days but thought I was OK and just went on. I didn’t see a Dr. at the time, he looked uncomfortable and said he had to tell me something and I most likely wouldn’t want to hear it, then he said that I was sterile, and would never be able to have children, I told him he was wrong because I already had 3 children, he just looked at me not saying anything, but had a sorrow look in his expression, then It hit me like a ton of bricks just fell from the ceiling. He told me that would never have been possible, but I just kept saying he was wrong. He told me if I could get a sample from my kids, he would run DNA tests to see if I was the bio father or not. I agreed, I just knew he was wrong. He handed me the test to take home and instructed me how to collect the samples.
