Shadows and Silk A New Dawn in the Firehouse-Lab with in the Nocturnis Underbelly the Twin Protocol

 

Shadows and Silk: A New Dawn in the Firehouse-Lab

Within the Nocturnis Underbelly: The Twin Protocol

NOVEMBER 14, 2020

The third floor of the Firehouse-Lab has never felt so alive. The constant, rhythmic clicking of the 1909 Analytical Engine below usually provides a cold, logical comfort. But tonight, it’s muffled by the soft sounds of breathing and the rustle of silk. Angela, finally resting in her favorite silk pajamas, looks like she’s finally found an anchor in this century.

Holding them—one in each arm—I realize the Twin Protocol is now in effect. It isn’t just a security designation; it’s the realization that the 354 now has a future to fight for.

The Tactical Perimeter: The 354 Shift

The birth wasn't just a family affair; it was a military-grade operation. We brought in a trusted Doctor and Nurse—both part of the 35 Veterans network—to ensure the 1929 temporal signature didn't cause complications with modern medical equipment.

Hawk didn't say much when he saw them. He just checked the chamber of his sidearm, adjusted the monitors, and told me, "The perimeter is silent, Earl. Nothing gets through the grates tonight."

Legacy Attributes: First Projections

Potential	Twin A (The Son)	Twin B (The Daughter)
Projected IQ	20 (Strategic)	19 (Analytical)
Projected LK	18 (Fortunate)	18 (Fortunate)
Source	1929 Temporal Signature	2020 Earth Foundation

These two are the ultimate fusion. They are the heirs to the Whispering Isles and the protectors of the Tygerian Reach.

🖋️ Captain’s Log: The Architecture of Hope

"By 3:00 AM, the room was quiet. The doctors left, and it was just us. I’ve built engines that can calculate the stars, but I couldn't have calculated the feeling of holding the future of Algieria in my hands. The 'Twin Protocol' is officially live. If the Silvertons think they can reach the third floor, they’ll have to go through the most dangerous father in Noctunis."

Go Action Fun Time

I have an announcement to make from my My friend Tony who has a new game out now!

GO Action funtme is now avalible at amazon.com for all of you to now get the printed version of the game found in this link just click here.....................

Go Action 

Fun Time is 

LIVE at 

Drive Thru

RPG!!!

https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/268196/Go-Action-Fun-Time-Basic-Rules

Go Action Fun Time is a role-playing game recreating Saturday morning (or now late-late) action/adventure science-fantasy cartoon shows – only the kind you would actually want to watch.

 

Teen-age superheroes from across time and space have been thrown together as a team (in theory) to compete in a reality game show produced by chaotic and perhaps insane gods. These heroes now travel randomly through time, pursuing strange and crazy challenges given to them by the Producers, and perhaps righting wrongs along the way.

 

This is a table-top role playing game with dice and math to complement the story-telling. The game requires a pile of 6-sided dice (the normal ones that you use in Yahtzee or craps), the means to take notes, a few consecutive hours, some friends, imagination.

Go Action Fun Time is an open-ended, rules-lite role-playing game invoking action/adventure cartoons. You can play basically any character you want and have them run amok through any setting. Adventures can be played in one session. Characters can pop in and out without affecting continuity. And sometimes … dinosaurs.

Teen-age superheroes from the past, present or future – real or imagined – have been thrown together to compete (as a team) (in theory) in a reality game show produced by chaotic and perhaps insane gods called the Executive Producers. These heroes now travel randomly through time, pursuing the strange and crazy challenges given to them by the Producers, and perhaps righting wrongs along the way.

It’s just $4.99 – because Tony wants people to have a copy of the rules. These are very basic: no fancy typeset or watermarks, a few illustrations, all by my hand, some just pencil over graph paper. But this is all you need to start playing.

I decided to post this on my blog sense I am short on blog time tonight.

Update 01-02-2021 the Go-Action-Fun-Time-Basic-Rules--Deluxe-Edition is now available at Drive thur RPG click the above link.

Goliath’s Skull Found?

I have been going through some of my old drafts that remained unpublished I am currently goignt hrough and updating them trying to get them posted here is one of them from January 16th 2015 that I never completed until now.

It seems that Goliath’s Skull Found?  

Really? 

Yes Really? and that the Stone from David’s slingshot still stuck in the giant’s forehead?

I found this story while browsing across the internet I came across this interesting peice of news. However I forgot to post it until now about an interesting article about Goliath's Skull was found.

Now you might be skeptical on whether this is for real or not, however I am inclined to believe this is just another archaeological find that proves the bible stories are true.

But as always I will let you decide that for yourself.

As always Yours Captain Hedges

COVID-19 UPDATES in my neck of the woods.

Most current information as of Wednesday, May 6, 2020.

As of this notice, the following measures have been taken: by the Shreveport-Bossier Convention and Tourist Bureau’s Downtown Shreveport Visitor Center and Shreveport Regional Airport Visitor Center are closed to the public through May 30, 2020, to protect the health and safety of our visitors and staff. The staff is working remotely to reach out to clients, event planners, business owners, and the hospitality industry to keep up with postponements, cancellations, and openings, as well as prepare for the time when we can invite visitors back into our sister cities.

Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards took significant measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in Louisiana and has extended a statewide "stay at home" order until  May 15, 2020, requiring Louisiana residents to shelter in place unless going out for essential tasks, as one of the most stringent steps yet to stanch the “community spread” of COVID-19. 

They encourage all consumers to follow the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, including the practice of social distancing and following stay-at-home mandates. If you are an essential employee who is still reporting to work, remember that many local restaurants are offering special services during these challenging times. Please consider making use of these options.

They will continue to monitor the situation and announce plans to reopen when appropriate. For visitor information and updates, please call 318-222-9391 or visit www.Shreveport-Bossier.org.

Nocturnis Underbelly: The 1929 Breach Valentine’s at the Firehouse: When Time Collided

 BLOG POST: FEBRUARY 14, 2020

The Red-Letter Day: When 1929 Met 2020

Shreveport is usually quiet in mid-February, but tonight the air in the Nocturnis Underbelly feels charged with a different kind of static. At 7:48 PM, the bell above the door didn't just ring; it chimed with a frequency that set the 1909 Analytical Engine humming in the basement.

She walked in wearing a black cloche hat and a trench coat that smelled of ozone and vintage perfume. Angela St. Claire. She wasn't just a customer; she was a temporal anomaly from 1929, carrying the very scrolls the 354 had been hunting for decades.

The First Connection: Arthur Earl & Angela

That first night wasn't about tactical maneuvers or the Silvertons. It was about two people from different centuries realizing they spoke the same language of gears, ink, and ancient stars. While Fred handled the front desk, Earl saw something in Angela's eyes that the 14 Chronicles hadn't prepared him for.

By midnight, they weren't just analyzing the Ink of Anticipation—they were building a bridge between two worlds.

🖋️ Captain’s Log: The Valentine’s Shift

"I spent my life studying the Whispering Isles through dusty telescopes and old military wire-taps. I never expected the answer to walk through my front door in a 1920s dress. Angela is the missing piece of the Nocturnis puzzle. Tonight, the Firehouse-Lab feels less like a fortress and more like a home. The 354 might be worried about the security risks of a woman out of time, but I’ve never seen the 1909 Engine run this smoothly. Something started tonight that’s bigger than the war."
