I LOVE Melissa and I adored her character, but I just finished the series last week and I was thinking about the sheer number of times she should have been fired!
This is a playful discussion, as I said I really enjoyed the character and the actress.
Here are my top 3 reasons that Melissa should have been fired:
She let her personal issues with Peter (granted I am not saying he's not an a*s) get in the way of his care (after he went through the hellfire/portal) she just straight up stabs his chest with a huge needle (It looked bigger than standard maybe an 18g?) and pumps him full of the 9 herbs after knowing it was going to put him in even more excruciating pain (after what Chris went through) This is a huge no. If you're in the medical field you cannot let personal experiences or feelings trump patient care and comfort.
She constantly gave other people including teenagers access to private medical records. "I shouldn't let you in..." **hands over the key**
She did medical procedures no R.N. has been trained to do in many cases. I've got clinical experience (a whole housefull of medical people including: paramedics, EMTs and nurses) and there were so many times I was like, "Hey, girl - you probably shouldn't be doing that..." Of course she saved the patient but it was alarming unless she had advanced degrees.
What's yours?

So yeah, turns out the Maya were brilliant numerical analysts who knew that around this day and age some unknown emo kid would figure out that the Germans would be the only egocentric sheeple who'd rather bully us into suicide than to let us know too much and that any one of us could've figured this out, individually or collectively,
I'm tired of metaspamming and being ignored just because you guys were raised to be annoyed by my people, it's not my fault after all and I gave us all the quantum bitchslap back into Garden Eden because I never believed in the concept of "knowing too much" and always had fun browsing Wikipedia, but I won't wait for those guys to stop debating "not relevant enough".
Turns out we were too stupid to understand our own language or other languages as the Germans would always be an egocentric sheeple stupid enough to fall for simple marketing psychology / the oldest trick of humankind and of course anarchy / communism was what we all wanted but were told to detest.
All that the prophets ever tried to sell us was "have fun at work" and never advocated for any of the fascist homo-/trans-/xenophobic bullshit that we were indoctrinated to believe.
Love me, hate me, I don't give a flying fuck what you make out of me as a person but you'd better fucking respect me, I figured out what jihadism was about and that it does not require terrorism but means "keep calm, smoke ganja, prepare your webpage and rejoice".
You were raised to be bigoted disbelieving dicks, but I am the "God" / illuminate (wise elder) who "knew too much" and didn't give a flying fuck as I jihaded away at my keys, telling Republicans what to do as I was sick and tired of being lied to and to be pitted against my own fucking mother who still believes I deserve to be a mental health patient for all eternity and deserves a punch in the face by anyone who walks past her for being such a bigoted self-centered stupid ignorant Nazi bitch.
Flow with the tide, the city will be the city and that's beautiful, to be annoyed by ads was just marketing psych bullshit as well, Trump may have been a narcissistic liar but he too knew it wiser to be a bro who cheated others out of their money but taught them to be self-employed moguls and his style of politics was admittedly very funny.
The secret services are bound to know what's up and all I expect of you guys is to collectively ring up the media to finally report on what happened and to stop blindly believing everything you were told as that is the psychiatric definition of paranoid schizophrenia.
Educate, don't indoctrinate. It's wiser to be a fascist who forces world peace than to ever be trolled out of paradise by my people who will always be a bag of bigoted dicks and who still believe that I'm an insufferable nutjob who mentally and sexually abused my best friend when all that I tried to tell her was that she too could be a physicist but that she doesn't need a diploma and that she should just let me be her mentor.
Please digitise all of the books that aren't on Library Genesis (https://libgen.is) yet, I'm the dude who forced all of the recent leaks and told the CIA to go fuck themselves and I expect nothing more of you guys than an amazing prom festival over at Campus Duisburg some time next month and for us to finally all be bros again.
Autism is nothing bad but our natural state of being, and idiocy only means to have better things to do than to care about news and politics.
Greetings, a modern-day war chief, serious academic, "messiah" and the wisest emo kid of his generation who'd of course rather write his dissertation on a tour bus than to wait for my fascist uni pals to give me an office or 2nd mail address. HOUGH! <3

im 13+5 and i just peed, wiped and saw light pink. ive also been cramping a bit today. i was just wondering if any of yall experienced the same thing and if everything was fine. i’d call my ob, but its 9pm, and i messaged on the patient portal, but it usually takes 2 days for them to answer. figured id ask here because google has a variety of answers that are either calming or worry-some lol

Hello.
I am a DM with about six years experience and after concluding a wonderful campaign of three years with another online group, I'm looking to start again. The game uses a combination of Roll20, Discord, and dndbeyond, voice only to start.
Once players are picked, we'll schedule a prompt session 0; ideal goal is to start one week from this posting. I'm itching to play.
The inciting adventure is a test play to determine if the group assembled wants to play beyond that.
Two options I want to gauge with the reddit audience:
Option A: Open-ended sandbox game, starting with the fall of an oppressive ruler over a continent. The world has opened up to two more continents, and the land now freed of an oppressive ruler with many sentient races scattered in diaspora or living outright underground, the land has become free real estate (obvious colonial themes, this scenario is very morally gray, if not dark gray, to the question of who has rights to the lands) - the party begins as people navigating this new world and picking sides. There are many evil groups and factions, but your enemy is who you choose, and generally in this world, the more problems you solve, the more you cause inadvertently. Pick your allies carefully, and your enemies even more so. If I had to name an inspiration for aspects of this, it'd probably be Dragon Age and Game of Thrones.
Option B: Metroidvania, survival, minor horror. What started as a mission to take down some bad mage-sort that you may have a grudge against, or you had an ulterior motive for taking this mission, goes wrong. You began working with one of the most powerful factions in the world, The Black Guard, and you see them get mowed down like nothing. Your target flees through a portal. You had to choose to follow or die. Now you are in some sort of demiplane... or is it? You're trapped. Magical doors bar you in some sort of prison... but fortune favors you and you escape. You are now in some sort of underground mega dungeon. Your goal is to find some important survivors, find your target, learn about what this place is and what is being planned with it, but most important of all... you need to get out of there. The inspirations here are Metroid, Hollow Knight, Resident Evil, Made in Abyss, and even Tears of the Kingdom.
Both adventures start at level 3. If you want to play, I'll give more detailed lore notes.
If you want to play, please message me or post here the following information:
Name
Age
5E Experience (NEW PLAYERS WELCOMED!)
Which Campaign you prefer and why you're drawn to it
What do you bring to the table... Why are you a good player?
A Character Concept (doesn't have to remotely resemble what you eventually use)
What are you hoping for in the Game
What you don't want to see in the game
An affirmation that day and time work
About me: My name is Josh. I'm 31 with a family of five. I am a busy dad. I work in education and have coached many youth activities including drama and speech (as well as starting a DND club once-upon-a-time). I am patient with new players. Saturday nights are my designated time for tabletop roleplaying games and that time is open. The inspirations listed above are some media I really enjoy.
DM Style: I play RAW. I am not an antagonistic DM and if I bend RAW, it's usually to your benefit. I seldom let Rule of Cool dictate things beyond what's realistic, but still allow for some aspects of that. My previous players have praised my campaigns for being good at incorporating backstories, having difficult-but-memorable encounters, and being filled with very fun lore. I am generally at my best with horror themes, but am fine outside of them. I like serious stories with the fun, silly side coming out through the characters.
This game will not have overt or descriptive sexual content. I prefer a diversity of age representation, if possible.

29 year old female. Went to ER yesterday due to appendicitis-like symptoms at 2 week post op appendectomy. Got a CT of abdomen and pelvis, bloodwork, and Urine tests. Doctor said it looked fine but this was before the test results had been finalized.
12 hours later tests became available on my patient portal and CT says normal but it does say “Peritoneal Cavity: Trace Ascites”. What is this and could this be as a result of my appendectomy? I had bad right-sided abdominal pain again today. I did a quick google search and most of what I found point to cirrhosis? I appreciate any input - thank you!
Here are my possibly abnormal results in case they are relevant:
CT Scan - Peritoneal Cavity: Trace Ascites
Blood - BUN: 20 mg/dL
Urine - Protein UA: 30 (1+) mg/dL Urine - Squamous Epithelial Cells, Urine Sed, Automated Count, Qual: Few/HPF Urine - Mucus, Ur Sed, QL, Automated Count: Present/HPF Urine - Amorphous Crystals, Urine Sediment, Automated Count, Qual: Few/HPF

For 3 years I've been dealing with Emotional Numbness and Sexual Dysfunction that all started after an intense and chronic episode of stress, depression, and anxiety. My emotions are blunted both positive and negative. I can't feel sexual arousal, desire, pleasure, or thoughts. I have erectile dysfunction and reduced sensitivity to my penis.
The emotional numbness and sexual dysfunction have been the most bothersome symptoms.
However other symptoms I've been having in addition to all of this are: brain fog, muscle tension, and a suppressed appetite.
I did the DUTCH Plus test that my Functional Medicine Practitioner ordered and this is what the results revealed:
1) High morning cortisol with decreased waking response decreases appropriately throughout the day
2) Estradiol (E2) above range
3) Estriol (E3) above range
4) Androsterone above range
5) Testosterone above range
6) 5b-androstanediol high end of range
7)Estrogen metabolism 2-OH to 2-MeOH 63.9%, 16-alpha 19.4%, 4-OH 16.7%
8) Saliva cortisone total above range
9) Saliva cortisol total within range
10) Pyroglutamate low end of range
11) Homovanillate low end of range
I just read this from the report on my patient portal. I follow up with the Nurse Practitioner in a few weeks. Could any of these results correlate with my symptoms?

Age: 41 Weight: 223lbs height: 5' 11"
Drugs taken: Effexor, Abilify, finasteride for balding. I'm also supposed to be taking a statin, but I've forgotten about it lately.
So my first indication that I might have something wrong with me related to schizophrenia was when I had a very stressful job. I felt like I was aware of what people were saying even though I had ear plugs in. I didn't know if I just had very good hearing or what, and I let it go. I was around 35 at the time.
When I was 36, I got kicked by a horse. My depression got very bad at the time, because I couldn't exercise, and I was fighting it too. I got sent to an orthopedic doctor to discuss surgery and he ended up hurting me severely. It seemed on purpose. At first I was in denial about it, but I knew he hurt me, and it just got worse and worse. I ended up in more pain than I'd ever been in in my life, and I was raging over it when my mental health fell apart completely. I couldn't even get out of bed. My leg wouldn't work. I think I passed out because I lost complete track of the first day. I thought I reported it as assault on the same day, but it was actually the next day. As I was going through this, I know I sent a lot of messages to my doctor on the patient portal, but I can't remember most of what I said at the time. I was just too screwed up. I went back to try to read over it and it all ended up getting deleted. It's a long story. I'll never know much of what happened. I don't know if it was to cover it all up or what. Maybe they just wanted me to let it go, or they were mad at me, and wanted to mess with me.
Anyway, from what I can remember, I was hearing voices all over the place. It was my doctors discussing me, my dad saying things I will never talk about, etc. It was a madhouse. I was extremely paranoid and thought the cops were after me, people were vandalizing my house, and a lot of other things like that I’ve forgotten now. My brain kept “resetting” like my awareness would come and go. It was very strange and I can’t really articulate it well. My house mate said she came in and observed my leg was swollen and I was asleep drenched in sweat. She also realized I needed fluids, since I had no come out for days, and tried to give me some. I do remember denying it. I don’t know why. It’s like I just had decided to die.
After 4-5 days I was finally able to stand on my messed up leg and got out of bed. I started confronting the things I was paranoid about, and I made a doctors appointment. They saw me the same day. I went in thinking I might have a knee infection and/or I might be dying. I had no idea. It was a very short appointment and the NP didn’t even look at my knee. She was more interested in my AH and paranoia. She prescribed me an antipsychotic that I went to go get, but my insurance hadn’t OKed it, so I went back home with nothing. I realized I hadn’t been drinking anything and drank a ton of milk. Aferwards, I felt I was doing much better with my paranoia and my AH subsided, but I still had some.
I was still extremely mad about the doctor hurting me, but I was trying to let it go. It’s a long story that doesn’t matter much in being able to tell what’s wrong with me, but I got into legal trouble being mad about it.
Some of the AH continued. Mostly right after I woke up. I would wake up to tons of voices all at once, but I could understand them all, which makes no sense. I didn’t really believe them or anything. I just found them annoying. Over time the AH changed. I stopped hearing it only when I woke up, and I started hearing it throughout the day. I wasn’t at all paranoid, however. It was a narrator saying what I believed to be guesses about what people, and even dogs, were thinking of me. I still didn’t believe it.
I went to a couple different psychiatrists and got prescribed various antipsychotics. They mostly didn’t seem to help, and had terrible side effects. I ended up on Zyprexa, which did help. It made me fat, however. I also had no motivation. After taking it for quite a while, I decided to do an experiment and titrated off to see if I still needed it. I was hoping I would lose weight and regain some motivation. I didn’t. I went for a month or two without any AH problems, and when they first started, I didn’t really care. I figured I could handle it because it was just mildly annoying anyway.
As my AH came back, it was all about all the legal trouble I got into, the doctor hurting me, etc. Apparently, the part of my mind that hears this nonsense is still very obsessed over it, even though I had mostly moved on. Anyway, it really started messing with me. Instead of being what I felt were guesses about what people were thinking of me, it was complex thoughts with unique identities. They don’t say stupid things like, “Kill yourself” or “Kill someone” etc. It has never been that. I am now 41 and this is what I’m experiencing. The voices are also hostile towards me and point out terrible things I’ve done that I never even remembered, etc. I’m not a terrible person, but they are things I’m ashamed of that I don’t really want to think about. They are also probably pretty normal. They were making me mildly paranoid so I went back on Zyprexa. I had a psychiatric appointment 3 days later and told her that I went back on my Zyprexa because the voices were messing with me. She asked me if I’d like to try Abilify and I ultimately agreed. It’s not working at all yet, however.
What disorder does all of this most fit? I’m looking for an expert… I know that most mental health professionals will be sure it’s a variety of things. I’ve heard a lot of different diagnoses. What is it really? What medications might you recommend?
Thankyou.
Edit: I forgot to mention I do feel dead inside. I don't know if that's depression or evidence of schizophrenia.

This one took a bit longer to write, mostly because it's longer and I was working a bit on chapter 13 as well. I hope you guys enjoy. Criticism and grammar corrections are appreciated.

Chapter 12

Patrick stood in front of the large building that sat at the center of the compound. He guessed that it had to be at least three stories tall and had a large garage door that was wide enough to fit a small jet. Whatever sat inside was the biggest mystery about the Da’Kar, the question they had been asking since they were first found on Earth; How had these interlopers arrived here with seemingly century old technology? It was quite an amazing opportunity to be among the first humans to find out, so when he was given the opportunity he volunteered his squad.
The mission itself was fairly simple, accompany an envoy for a week in Da’Karen territory. Of course they weren’t alone, a squad of marines were assigned to the other diplomat plus a translator for each of them.
The twelve of them stood by in front of the large building, just waiting for the order to go in. Tanner especially seemed excited for what lay beyond, quite frankly they all were. Soon enough a familiar Da’Kar approached them, it was the one named Chilluukik; He was some kind of noble or scientist, Patrick didn’t really know which. “Goodmorning, it is a pleasure to meet all of you as well as see a few that I’ve previously met.” Chilluukkik said that last part while gesturing to Patrick and his squad.
Patrick's diplomat, a woman named Sophie shook Chilluukik’s hand softly and introduced herself. “Sophie Lacelle, and this gentleman right here is Edward Teach.” After Sophie, Edward also shook the Da’Kar’s hand. “And I am Chilluukik, I am the head scientist here at this outpost.”
The garage-like door proceeded to open and everyone was invited inside. The room seemed rather plain at first glance, typical storage-like barebones deal but Patrick noticed how the location was actually defended. Two fortified positions were built on each side where Da’Karan soldiers were entrenched. They seemed to have larger versions of the steam rifles usually seen with their other troops. These rifles were bolted down into the floor and attached to much larger tanks. With no cover possible, it would be like walking in front of a second world war German machine gun nest.
In between them, a reinforced metal door was the only other notable thing in the room. Chilluukik grabbed everyone's attention and made them all move to the side. The secondary metal door opened with a wince, metal grinding on metal, revealing an archway with an eerie blue glow emanating from it. Chilluukik stepped in front of the device and faced the group.
“Come, right this way.”
Without another word the Da’kar stepped through the archway, sinking into the blue hue and disappearing without a trace. A marine was the first to follow, leading his group through the archway. Patrick was close behind, he paused a moment before stepping into the haze. A strange sensation flowed over his body, as if he were submerged in water; instinctively he held his breath as he stepped through.
It took a moment or two for his eyes to adjust to the dim lighting but soon it was clear that he was no longer in the same room he was in just a moment ago. Cautiously he took a breath, the air was thin and stale. The room they were standing in was some kind of workshop, strange tools were placed haphazardly around and there seemed to be machines all around with many intricate gears. Chilluukkik stood patiently as everyone passed through the arch, once everyone was through he addressed the group.
"Welcome to Charsier, the capital city of the Da’Kar. You are currently standing in my lab where I spent many years developing that portal you just walked through."
Now everything about their sudden appearance on earth made sense, for all intents and purposes the Da'Kar really did appear out of thin air. Patrick's mental list of strange things that have happened in the past month or so just kept growing. At this point the idea of a portal let alone actually going through one barely phased him. Tanner however, was awestruck as he usually was when it came to dealing with the Da'Kar. At least someone was enthusiastic about this whole ordeal. Edward stepped forward and spoke.
"Are we currently underground? It's somewhat hard to breathe, and the air seems stuffy."
"Yes, Charsier is almost entirely carved out of a mountain. Most of the city is underground, only military personnel are permitted to surface on a normal basis." Chilluukkik answered.
Edward thought on that for a moment, he opened his mouth as if he was going to say something but he hesitated. Instead he settled with a single word response. “Impressive.”
Chilluukkik clasped his hands together and spoke before any other questions could be asked. “We best not waste time, there are a lot of things to do today. Mainly you are all going to meet the matriarch and the council, but first I would like to go over a few things that you must abide by. First and foremost the proper greeting especially to those in power should be a bow, we are not accustomed to the physical greeting that is your ‘handshake’. Second, as you are strangers to our land it is best to avoid interacting with the general populace to avoid creating any unintended offense. If you must, it is best that you consult your guide that each group will be assigned before interacting. Lastly, it is not recommended to stray away from your guide as many of our cities can be labyrinth-like and it can be very easy to get lost even if you become familiar with an area. Are there any questions before we move forward?”
The room fell silent, Chilluukik waited a few moments before continuing but no one spoke up. He awkwardly cleared his throat and spoke again.
“Excellent, follow me so we can get you all situated.”
Chilluukkik led the group out of the tight lab and onto some kind of underground street. There were a number of Da'Karen guards on a perimeter, blocking and redirecting any civilians trying to pass through. Surprisingly very few actually stopped to ogle at the group of strange beings, most were just content with minding their own business and going on with their day. Though the occasional glance was fairly common.
Patrick took note of how gloomy the atmosphere of the city felt. Perhaps it was just this section but everything seemed to be built for more practicality than any kind of visually pleasing architecture. Though Patrick supposed that maybe this city was quite beautiful to the Da'Kar. Dim, damp, and tight must be all the rage in that case. It wasn’t really the best explanation he could’ve come up with.
A tram sat in the middle of the street awaiting to transport them to a different location in the city. The group gathered infront of the tram and a guard opened one of the side doors, allowing everyone to file in. The step onto the tram was larger than strictly comfortable, of course it hadn’t been designed with a human’s smaller stature in mind. That being said the tram was quite roomy and comfortably fit everyone inside.
The sudden acceleration of the tram surprised Patrick, a few of them who weren’t paying attention even stumbled a bit at the impromptu movement. Their ride was short lived however, only lasting a minute or two. The sight that met them once they stepped off the tram put the previous tunnels to shame. Designs and patterns were carved into the walls, neatly trimmed moss adorned the ceiling, and there was nearly double the space. Chilluukik grabbed the attention of the group and stuck a hand out to a grandiose doorway.
“Welcome to the imperial palace! It is the largest single structure in the entire city. The palace holds all the council members and the matriarch as they all have to be ready at a moment’s notice in the case of a national emergency. It is also where you all will be staying while you are in Charsier. Unfortunately I must ask that all soldiers surrender their weapons to the armory while on palace grounds as only the royal guard may be armed in the building.”
“What’s the point of an armed escort if they can’t even be armed?” Edward grumbled. Sophie leaned over to the American diplomat to comment. “I’m sure the royal guard will offer plenty of protection. Besides, cooperation shows trust between our governments, no matter how little.” Chilluukik glanced at the two, their conversation wasn’t exactly quiet. Nonetheless Chilluukkik continued the tour, seeming to ignore Edward’s comment.
They were led into the building and took a hard left to a hallway with several armed guards. At the end of the hallway was a reinforced steel door where an older Da’Karen soldier waited. Chilluukkik exchanged a few words with him in their tongue before turning to the group, specifically addressing Patrick’s squad and the marines.
“This is Quarter Master Arluirik, he will be in charge of storing your weapons. Don’t worry, once you leave they will all be returned to you.”
Arluirik took a bow as soon as Chilluukik was finished speaking and approached Patrick. Patrick sighed and turned to his squad. “Condition four, drop flaks as well, there’s no reason for us to be all armored up right now.” Patrick’s squad began unloading their rifles and taking off their combat gear; However the marines opted to just give up their rifles. Arlurik and another Da’Kar collected the weapons before bringing them behind the steel door. As soon as the steel door was sealed, Chillukik began walking back to the main entrance to which everyone followed.
“It is time that you meet the matriarch, as she does not speak your language, I will act as your translator for this meeting.”
Sophie spoke up. “We do have our own translators. While your assistance is appreciated, it’s a bit redundant.”
Chilluukkik sighed, though Patrick couldn’t tell if it was from annoyance or maybe something else. Da’Karen mannerisms would be something he’d have to pick up on and learn, especially considering the circumstances. “I would prefer that I be the translator. I’m sure your translators are plenty proficient, however I personally want to make sure that there is no confusion or misunderstandings. She is the single most important Da’Kar after all.”
“We’d rather not step on your toes then, we’ll proceed how you wish.” Edward responded.
Chillukik stopped the group in the middle of the entrance hall, for a few moments they stood in awe of the structure around them. Several ornate pillars lined the walls, five gold crests hung high above an archway that was guarded by tens of soldiers, the floors were of polished marble, and the lights shone brighter than anywhere else they had seen in the city. Chilluukik moved the diplomats to the front of the group while everyone else stood behind them shoulder to shoulder.
Once everyone was in position, Chilluukik nodded towards one of the guards. A moment later, said guard shouted something causing all of the Da’Kar in the room to snap to attention. Both Patrick’s squad and the marines took the que, going to attention themselves. A figure flanked by two guards appeared in the archway, they slowly walked across the hall to the two diplomats. Patrick could only assume that she was the matriarch, as she was dressed in an extravagant gown and sitting atop her head was a gold crown encrusted with a single blue gem.
As soon as the matriarch got about a meter away from Chilluukik, he took a bow and stepped to the side. The matriarch then approached the diplomats and they exchanged bows. She spoke in her alien tongue and a moment later Chilluukkik spoke up with the translation.
“Welcome to Charsier, we are happy to have you here. I am Shilluukkik, if there is anything you need during your time here let me know. You are our honored guests.”
Sophie was the first to speak. “Thank you, it is an honor to meet you madam. I am Sophie Lacelle, the representative from the nation of Canada.”
“And I am Edward Teach from the United States of America. It’s a pleasure ma'am.”
​
​
Arluirik and his assistant placed the human weapons on the table. Most of them were similar to the ones obtained from the crashed flying machine, however one looked very different. It was considerably larger and even had a handlebar attached to the side of the barrel. Che’quea picked it up to inspect it, it was almost twice the weight of the other rifles. He noted that it shared a few similarities with the mounted gun they also had captured.
“Was there any trouble with them handing over their weapons, Arluirik?”
“No sir, a few of them even dropped off their armor.” Arluirik held up a helmet with the distinct human pattern on it. Che’quea placed down the weapon and grabbed the helmet. Despite its relatively small size, the helmet had some heft to it. Whatever strange material it was made of was very dense, though he doubted that it could stop very much in terms of projectiles. Che’quea ran his fingers across the fabric cover, it was unlike any cloth he had seen before and was very finely woven.
“I want a detailed sketch of this pattern, I believe it is some sort of camouflage. We won't be able to replicate the material but perhaps we can use this pattern.”
“Yes sir.”
Che’quea placed the helmet down and pointed to the large rifle. “I want that to be analyzed the best you can without damaging it, the humans should be busy for at least several hours so take your time and get every detail. Learn what you can about this equipment, I want a report before the day is over.”
“It will be done sir.” Arluirik saluted Che’quea then waved over several other officers and they got to work. No matter how the situation went with the humans they were going to get something out of it, even if it was a few drawings.
​
​
Yesterday played through Patrick’s mind. While at first he was amazed by all the things he saw and the people he met, it started to get menial after the first few introductions. The whole day was just a bunch of formalities that he just didn’t really care for. Meeting the council was the worst of it, he couldn’t even remember a single name there if his life depended on it. Near the end of the day the Americans had split off from them and they went to meet their guides. The one his group was assigned was a young Da’Kar by the name of Sruri.
Apparently she worked under Chilluukik for a time but decided to pursue a different career around the time the portal opened. Patrick didn’t know the details but it did make him wonder why she left. It wasn’t really his business, perhaps she just didn’t like being a scientist or whatever she did. When they first met here she seemed to be very reserved, only speaking a few words at a time. Now that the initial meeting was over and it was a new day she had opened up a bit.
The tram lurched to a stop, dragging Patrick from his thoughts. Wolf, their translator from the US air force, spoke up. “Sruri says that we’ve arrived.” Everyone stood up and filed out of the tram. They were deep within Charsier, the tight tunnels were almost suffocating. Crowds of Da’Kar stood next to a train stop, barely heeding the group of humans any attention. It reminded Patrick of human cities where everyone just wanted to mind their own business and get on with their day.
In fact, the only one who seemed interested in them was a child who couldn’t stop staring. Patrick gave the child a soft wave and smiled. The kid shyly hid behind what Patrick assumed to be one of their parents. He must have been a strange sight to them, perhaps he had scared the child by mistake. The supposed parent took notice and looked over at Patrick, as soon as their eyes met his the Da’Kar quickly looked away. It was strange, all the civilians seemed very jumpy whenever they were around. Patrick thought back to what Chilluukik had said about not interacting with people who weren’t directly involved with diplomatic proceedings. David leaned over and whispered to Patrick.
"I can’t say I like the kind of looks we’re getting.”
“It’s best to just ignore it. People will be people, alien or not.”
David leaned back and looked forward as the train pulled in. The doors opened and people started flowing in. By the time Patrick’s group had made their way inside, the train was completely packed. If he didn’t feel claustrophobic before, he certainly did now. A loud yelp sounded out quickly followed by Martin speaking quickly.
“Ah shit, I think I stepped on someone’s tail. Wolf tell them I'm sorry, it was an accident.”
Just as the door closed, Patrick got forcibly squeezed between Tanner and some poor Da’Kar. Any attempt from the civilians to avoid the humans was now futile, it was an uncomfortable situation for everyone. Hopefully it wasn’t going to be a very long train ride, Patrick was getting hot and he could only imagine how the Da’Kar felt with all that fur. After a few minutes, Patrick felt something tugging on his shirt. He turned his head to see a familiar Da’Kar child trying to get his attention. Curiosity must have gotten the better of them, they spoke something.
Patrick felt somewhat bad about not being able to understand or even reply to the kid in any meaningful way. He thought for a moment before ruffling through his pockets for something that might interest the kid. Patrick pulled out a pen and a notebook. He opened the notebook and showed the kid how it worked. The kid’s eyes widened as he saw Patrick draw a few lines. What really seemed to excite the kid was when he handed the items over so the kid could try it themselves. Patrick watched the kid draw to their heart’s content, it was something to take both of their minds off of the train ride and pass the time.
Before Patrick knew it, the train had begun to slow as they neared their destination. The kid’s tail drooped and he wore a disappointed look. Timidly, they went to hand the notebook and pen back but Patrick stopped them. Patrick gently pushed the items back to the kid who now seemed confused. “Keep it kid, I think you’ll enjoy it a lot more than me.” The kid took a few moments to process Patrick’s intent, when it finally clicked the kid jumped with glee and hugged Patrick. He got a few looks from the Da’Kar in the train, however they seemed more surprised than the sour glances they had previously been giving him.
“What did you do to make him so happy?” Tanner asked.
“Hearts and minds, I gave ‘em a little gift.” Patrick smiled back. The doors opened and the pressure was finally released. Stepping out of the train, Patrick noticed that the air wasn’t nearly as stale as it had been in Chasier. Every breath was almost fresh and refreshing. They had only been on that train for maybe thirty minutes, perhaps now they were closer to the surface. The train station here seemed a lot less packed as well, Patrick was thankful for that much at least.
“Wolf, could you please ask Sruri where we are now?” Sophie asked. Wolf relayed the translated question to Sruri to which she answered with a brief response.
“This city is called Strulkurig, apparently it’s a very important city to them.”
Initially, the city seemed very similar to Charsier; Long tunnels stretched for seemingly miles. However, after just a few minutes of walking they arrived at an opening to a gargantuan cavity. It was in the shape of a dome, reaching nearly a mile across. At the top there was a large hole leading all the way to the surface, and at the bottom was a lake that took up most of the cavity. The vast majority of the city seemed to be built into the walls of the cavern, only slightly built onto the lake itself. Large metal supports lined the walls, assumedly to ensure the structural integrity of the walls. The amount of engineering that went into all of this must have been immense.
Sruri began speaking and a moment later Wolf started with his translation. “Most of the cavern is natural, the location was ideal to provide a central water source to the other cities. In fact, eighty percent of the water the Da’Kar uses is sourced from this spring.”
“And how many cities draw their water from here?” Sophie asked.
“Nine, including Strulkurig. The reservoir is extremely deep and is naturally replenished via surrounding groundwater.”
Patrick could see how important that this city remained protected. If that water supply was contaminated or poisoned it would be catastrophic for the Da’Kar. The fact that they were allowed into Strulkurig at all showed quite a bit of trust. Though Patrick couldn’t help but think that all this openness was an effort to draw their attention from something else. All this effort to build their cities underground, and for what? The Da’Kar were hiding something, or perhaps they were hiding from something.
Their first stop of the day was a ration center. It looked like any other cafeteria from earth. though instead of a wide selection, premade rations were handed out. The amount of food per meal seemed like the bare minimum, just enough to survive on. Sruri walked over and grabbed one before showing it to the group. Wolf was quick with the translation, he seemed to be getting better at the language. “She says that this is a standard civilian ration, about one thousand calories and each person gets two per day. Each ration is carefully constructed to sustain the nutritional needs of the average Da’Kar adult. However, there is rarely enough for everyone. It’s not uncommon for them to turn down many when the day’s rations are depleted.”
Patrick looked to the line that extended out of the building, there was a concerning amount of children in that line waiting to get their rations. It made him uneasy knowing that many of those children wouldn’t even get to eat, especially the ones farther back in the line. It was already clear to Patrick that whatever the Da’Kar were going through, they needed the support from humanity. Tanner began to pull out some of his MRE’s but Patrick stopped him.
“Put it away, you can’t feed all of them. After this mission the supplies from the US will come in, then there’ll be enough for everyone.”
“What if they don’t make it that long? Half of these people are practically skin and bone.”
“There’s nothing we can do at the moment and I need you to be on your top game for the rest of this mission. Save your food for yourself.” Patrick commanded sternly.
Tanner begrudgingly stuffed the food back into his backpack. They were there for only a few more minutes before departing to their next location. Throughout the day they went from place to place, each looked more sorrowful than the last. What really broke Patrick was when he saw kids working in factories, they couldn’t be much older than the kid he met on the train. Patrick couldn’t imagine what could have led to the Da’Kar using these methods. They were either really desperate or had some really messed up morality. The one saving grace about it was that they seemed to take the kid’s safety as priority, having an adult supervisor watching over them constantly. Though, that still didn’t excuse child labor. If it was up to him, Patrick would give all the resources his country could offer to get these kids out of the factories.
​
​
Patrick laid in his bed, it had been almost an hour but he just couldn’t sleep. It was still pretty early in the morning but he figured that he wasn’t going to get much rest anyways. He slowly slipped out of the Da’Karen bed, it was large and square in shape. The one thing that made his stay in the Da’Kar world bearable, there was plenty of space to sleep. Patrick pulled on his uniform, making sure to be especially quiet as to not wake his squadmates.
The apartment building was just as quiet, it seemed like it was too early even for the Da’Kar. Patrick stepped outside, taking in the fresh morning air. Unlike most other Da’Karen cities, Khomtotm was mostly above ground. Patrick certainly wasn’t complaining, for almost a week they had been exclusively underground. He strolled down a street that had a thin layer of snow that had fallen throughout the night. The air was still and cold, if he closed his eyes he could almost imagine that he was back home. He walked until he arrived at an overlook that gave an amazing view of the relatively flat lands nestled by a massive mountain range.
Looking to the left, far in the distance, Patrick could just barely make out the structures Charsier. Panning right, he could see Strulkurig with its few surface buildings that surrounded the hole. Finally he looked over to the right towards Eathlond. Patrick had remembered that the Americans would be there today, as that was the last city they were going to visit. Patrick had to do a double take as he saw large black plumes of smoke emanating from the city.
He knew the Da’Kar relied heavily on steam but he had never seen steam engines produce that amount of exhaust. His heart began to pound as he thought he could identify several fires throughout the city. Patrick stepped away from the overlook and began walking back to the apartment building. Then as he thought more about what could be going on in Eathlond, he ran. It could be some kind of misinterpretation but he didn’t want to take that chance.

Shabbat shalom everyone! And good Shavuot! Today I’m continuing the most important lesson ever. Many say that Yeshua abolished the Mosaic Law, and that the Old Testament is long gone and obsolete. Is the Law and the Prophets abolished? Let’s put the some of the writings of the New Testament to the test of the Law and the Prophets.
Last week we learned that Yeshua did not make himself High Priest by his own admission, but that it was prophesied by the prophets and righteous kings of old, from Psalms 2 and Psalms 110. We also heard that some Hebrews are hard of hearing, as the prophets of old have been sent time and time again to Israel and Judah, yet the remnant of Judah remains in disbelief. The author then tells us to exercise our discernment, so that our skill may be perfected through practice. Practice makes perfect! Put your pastor, teacher, or rabbi to the test of the Law and the prophets!
Again, we can see that looking at the New Testament writings with the lens of the Torah, that the verses become clearer and there are no contradictions. Here is the score far:
The Torah: 15
Doctrines of Devils: 0
Let’s keep sharpening our proverbial spears and swords, which is the Word. Let’s continue our study of the epistle to the Hebrews.
Hebrews chapter 6:1-6
Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, [2] Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. [3] And this will we do, if God permit. [4] For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,[5] And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, [6] If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
In chapter 6 the author urges us to keep learning and to move past the basics of faith and repentance and to move on to the more advanced doctrines. We can do this if, Father lets us. Then the author states that it’s impossible for those on the path of righteousness, who have truly tasted the spirit and truly can see how Yahweh will restore His rule, to fall away again. He then compares returning to sin and death, as a believer killing messiah all over again and making him and his promises a lie. What is the author speaking about? I think he is telling the Hebrews that if they think that they are righteous, they probably are not. In the previous chapters the author says the same by referring to the fallen Israelites in the Book of Exodus. What’s the authority in the Law and the prophets to say this? For that let’s go to the new covenant promise in Ezekiel:
Ezekiel 11:19-21
And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:[20] That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.[21] But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord GOD.
As can see in Ezekiel’s prophesy, the spirit enables an Israelite to follow the law, and honor it. We see this in verse 20. And the abominations are still abominations and they will get their own lawlessness as their reward. Be careful what you sow, ladies and gents you might get it back to you.
Hebrews chapter 6:7-12
[7] For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: [8] But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.[9] But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak. [10] For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.[11] And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:[12] That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
The author then compares the blessings that the earth receives to the ones that a believer receives. Like the rain from Elohim produces both thorns (unfit for service) and herbs (that are fit for service), some believers are made thorns and produce bad fruits, and others are like herbs and produce good fruits fit for consumption. Next he then reminds us that God Almighty is not like us of the world, and unlike us, he will not quickly forget His promises laid out in the Torah and the prophets. In verse 12 the author then recommends the Hebrews that they need to follow “followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises”. So, who should we follow? Well, no other man ever had as many signs and wonders as the messiah has. We should follow those who do have signs and wonders, through the name of Yeshua the messiah. Amen!
Hebrews chapter 6:13-20
[13] For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, [14] Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. [15] And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. [16] For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. [17] Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: [18] That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: [19] Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; [20] Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
Then the author uses Abraham as an example, like in verse 5:14, he urges us to look for discerning brothers and sisters who exercise their discernment to which seek council from. Those who have been tested and have the patience of the saints. The path of righteousness is not instant, like some would have us believe. Joseph here also comes to mind (in Genesis), having had to spend many years in jail for a crime he did not commit. Job also, as he held fast to Father even if he also had done nothing wrong for his curses. God is faithful and true, He will hold his part of the covenant, if we hold our obligations. He then ends with an assertion that Yeshua entered the kingdom, as the firstfruits of the resurrection, and is our direct High Priest, in the order of Melchisedec.
Next week we will continue with chapter 7.
Don’t take it from me! Prove all things and judge for yourself. Let the spirit lead you where it wants you to be.
Yeshua is our master, savior and rabbi, we need no other man to lead us!
Shalom, VN

I can’t even believe this shit.
I had developed new mets in my right lung. I also had some mets pop up in my left lung. Biopsy of a tumor on the right side showed it to be TNBC and I was put on Trodelvy.
I had a PET CT to see if the Trodelvy is working. The shit on the right side had shrunk. The shit on the left side had grown. WTF.
So doc sent me for a bronchoscopy to snatch some cells out of these spots on the left side. The pulmonary surgeon that did the scope also managed to snag a sample out of the pesky subcarinal lymph node that has shown activity.
The pathology report just posted to my patient portal. Non-small cell carcinoma, CK7 positive, CK20 negative.
I’m not a smoker. I used to smoke literally 2-3 cigarettes a day, but sometimes went months with no cigarettes, when I was in my early 20s.
What. The. Fuck. I know non-small cell is most common for people that didn’t smoke or were never daily smokers. It’s just not what I thought I was going to see. Then again, I probably shouldn’t be surprised by anything at this point. I had kidney mets two years ago and supposedly that pretty much never happens with breast cancer.
At least now I know why those spots aren’t responding to Trodelvy. Now I guess we have to add something or change treatments again.

“It has to work. Needs to work,” I said. I stared at the base of the contraption praying, hoping, pleading.
Things were never meant to turn out this way. Immortality… well the downsides were easy enough to anticipate. Crops had become poor in quality, famine and poverty had swept through our lands following the war. The once beautiful and peaceful Castelluccio had been reduced to barren grounds and abandoned homes. I’d lost most of my family, the ones I’d known at least. I still had a few friends alive, but they were not well. And thus the burden of living forever didn’t seem a heavy price to pay.
I looked around the open room. Storms raged outside. This was what I’d been waiting for.
The demon I had tricked had also placed a curse on me though, any doorway I walk through takes me somewhere I did not intend. I first tore down the doors of my home so I could come and go freely. I was cautious, but not paranoid by any means. I remember the first jump, I had woken up in the night for water and in going to refill the tank I stumbled through the main door instead of the usual broken hole in the wall near the back.
The dials spun rapidly, flickering back and forth in a heartbeat. Echoing thunder and whipping winds made it near impossible to hear the normally loud whirring that was emitted.
Once the first threshold had been crossed, that was it. I was in a completely unknown land, the people around me wore different clothes, they spoke a different language and no matter what I said or tried to do, it was lost on the locals. Like a ghost living in the world of the living, I felt hopeless. I felt alone. So I went through another door. If the first jump set the wheel in motion, well then the second jump set the gauge to top speed.
The green lights along the side lit up one by one. The last step was to wait. Even after years, decades probably of optimizing, we needed a little nudge to get it going.
It had taken some experimentation to see what counted as a door. The classic handle or knob that you turn to then pull or push a door open obviously counted. I turned out that so too did sliding doors, revolving doors, and doors that required the push of a button to open. However, if more than roughly a third was removed or it had no frame, it could be considered a gate, or even simply a gap to be traversed and no longer a door. Pathways with streamers hanging down from the top were fair game and so were some larger entrances when kept open for long periods of time. I was never completely sure, but I suspected it had to do with how it was perceived by those around it.
The winds picked up, it was almost time. “You’re sure about this aren’t you, Edith? You bloody well better be, there’s no second chances here.” Thomas shouted. I was ready, it was what I’d been waiting for.
I had wanted to return home, but misguidedly jumped through every door I could. I didn’t care about where I was, when I was, who I was. I just wanted to go home. The thing about a “home,” however is that it is tied to who you are. Tied to your own identity. What I didn’t realize was that with each jump, I lost a little bit of that, left it behind. And no this wasn’t part of the curse or anything, it was just my own deterioration. Eventually my fixations warped my motives and I was no longer trying to return home. I didn’t stay long enough to identify my surroundings, just long enough to find the next door. It didn’t matter where I was, the only thing that mattered was another jump, racking up the count like on a scoreboard. I was immortal you see, so while I felt pain, it didn’t slow me and so obsession and pain fused together.
“There’s no way we could know, regardless,” I cried back. “This is the best shot I’ll have, it’s what I’ve been waiting for!”
I still remember the feeling of shock and withdrawal that rippled through me as I tumbled out of a doorway landing on hard ground padded lightly by a layer of grass. I turned around to find a lone, tall wooden barn collapsing from a house fire. It was the only building sight. I tried to go through the burning door anyway, but it was Thomas and his mother that pulled me back. I fought them off, but I was weak. They had to rebuild from scratch, and I had no where else to go. It took many years for me to learn to live again, and even then I never returned to who I once was. Thomas was in his early teens at the time and spoke my mother tongue and realized I could continue on here, no longer needing to jump.
Lightning cracked overhead hitting one of the many rods Thomas and I had installed. The wires glowed a faint orange. The rest of the lights turned yellow, then green as each stage came online.
Thomas’ mother was a woodworker and Thomas himself was a genius child prodigy in science. Together they built a functional door replacement that I could traverse through safely and renovated a house to allow for me to live without risk of accidentally jumping through space. Over time I met the local community, I went to markets and joined in festivities, making sure to steer clear of doors. I made new friends and picked up hobbies. While I never explained my curse to either of them, Thomas and his mother raised me as one of their family. Thomas, the bright and upbeat scientist he was, would teach me the things he studied and learned, and his mother got me to help with woodworking.
Arcs of electricity snaked their way up the walls of the portal, lighting up the chamber ceiling. They reached the top completing the circuit.
I had been happy. And yet, I was still cursed. This time it was immortality that came back to bite me. Thomas’ mother had been getting old and sick. She had held up her spirits right until the end when one morning she didn’t rise. The doctors said it was heart disease and that even if they’d caught it sooner, there wouldn’t have been much to be done. Whatever mourning I felt, I knew it had to have been crushing for Thomas. With his effervescence gone was no longer the same energetic boy that had once pulled me from that burning barn. Nothing could pull his mind from his own grief, his own fixation. I was his slow decent, and reminiscent of my own downfall. He mumbled of older, better times. He murmured of days hiking with his mother, of watching her build, and him chiming in with his own design improvements. What I hadn’t expected, was for my own yearning of returning home to reawaken. I didn’t know if it was possible, or if upon reaching Castelluccio it would even be the same place I left… but seeing Thomas like this, well I now knew where I had to go.
I stepped up to the portal. One final system had to activate before it would be ready. I felt cold, shivers resonated within me, tears welled in my eyes, neither were from the chilled air, snapping wind or whipping rain though.
Nikos Kazantzakis once wrote “The only way to save yourself is to endeavor to save others.” When I finally felt it was time, I told Thomas everything. We had been sitting next a warm fire on a clear night as I detailed my journey. Not sure if he was even listening I started getting into the smaller details. I told him of my own parents, and my older brother. All of whom died in a war. I told Thomas of my deal with a demon, of my fears and my submersion into irrationality. I told him of my wish to return home. He waited patiently the whole time, until finally I was done. When all was quiet except the crackling of the fire, he nodded his head. He studied curses and read accounts of spells and magic tombs. I learned everything I could on modern electronics. We spent years building a machine that could that read my cosmic footprint and detect where my home was and create a portal there for my return. I will not try to say I did this to save Thomas from himself, because I did not. I wanted to return to my homeland, but as a side effect, it gave Thomas the purpose he needed.
Everything was ready. It was time. It was what I’d been waiting for. I turned back to Thomas. I stared him in the eyes through vision blurred by tears. “I’ll never forget you, Thomas. Truly,” I said. He knew exactly what I meant and I felt the last dozen years of his life flood through me. “You as well Edith. You saved me. Now do what you have to do.” I gave Thomas one final hug and turned, stepping through the portal without looking back.
I emerged in the late evening, to a town both familiar and distant. Everywhere I looked it was exactly as I remembered it, but somehow as a whole it was much smaller than I remembered. I returned not only to the place I had left behind, but also the time I had left behind. The fields and grass were still barren. The community was a resigned shadow of what it had once been. I sat down and cried. This was what I had been waiting for… but was it what I wanted? I thought this was the right thing to do, and maybe it was, but not for me. I was no longer the person I was when I left. I didn’t belong back with Thomas, I needed to return, but I didn’t belong here either. I realized then, that the path I took, the journey of returning to Castelluccio was what mattered. I thought once more of Nikos Kazantzakis “The only way to save yourself is to endeavor to save others.”

🐈‍⬛ Another Eden Timelines (ver. 1.9)

I BEG YOU, KIND FELLOW AE FAN, PLEASE DO NOT POST SPOILERS IN THE COMMENTSBy that I mean any plot points or lore beyond the stuff prior to The Goddess of Time content

​
UPDATE NOTE: This is the final version of the pre-2.0 update, which I'm told will turn my mind to mush. Here, numerous grammar corrections can be found, and I deleted some unnecessary snark.
In version 1.9, I so far have the lore and events from The Cat Beyond Time and Space (ver. 1.0), The Ogre Wars, Episode: The Celestial Tower and the Shadow Witch (lore only as it pertains to Palsifal and Cyrus) and the necessary Episode: The Closed-off Open World and the Azure Rebel.
I have not included the other necessary Episode Two Knights and the Holy Sword since it doesn't seem important to the Main story. (Sorry, Deirdre and Annabel, but brief cameos in The Ogre Wars don't count for much.) If it ends up being important to ver. 2.0's plot, I'll add it in the next update. Episodes like the IDA ones and the Ocean Palace stuff have been omitted for similar reasons. Again, if they turn out to be important, I'll add them.
Well, enjoy.

————— ORIGINAL timeline —————

​

• In the beginning, the primal forces of Order and Chaos fought. (That old chestnut.) The resulting Dimensional Vortex dispersed Chaos throughout the universe, while Order coalesced into matter, I guess. Chaos, in some sense, is still pissed about things ending up less than chaotic, apparently. (Another old chestnut.)

​

• In a time before written history, Titans rule the world. They create a mystical sword out of mystical rock, as people are wont to do. (It eventually winds up in the hands of a human, King Parsifal.)

---
​

• ~ 20,000 y.a., Antiquity consisted of various human tribes getting along just fine — which is how you know this is fiction — and the planet’s power came from the four Elementals: Salamander (fire) Sylph (wind) Gnome (earth) and Undine (water). [Note: If there had been a “heart” elemental, they could have summoned Captain Planet.]

​

• At some point, they must have expired, scattering Prisma: shards of their corpses which contain fragments of their power. [The reason for this would be altered to be the Elementals sacrificing themselves to stop Phantom.] The four Elemental Arms are also created from their leftover energy.

​

• King Palsifal declares war on another nation, or else they declare war on his nation first. During the course of the war, a guardian of the forest, is killed. This drives his wife, formerly the Green Witch, Reptires, mad with grief. She becomes the Dark Witch, being taken over by the malevolent spirit of the Shadow Witch.

​

• Reptires, holding a grudge against King Palsifal, slays his wife and son. His grief is immense. Failing to stop the royal family's doom, Cyrus - a royal retainer from the East - is defeated and cursed with the form of a frog.

---
​

• Over thousands of years, it seems likely that some humans grew closer to nature - growing to resemble beasts (beastfolk) - while others used Prisma to build modern civilization to mimic the cities they’d known prior to the Elementals’ destruction. This caused considerable friction between the humans and beastfolk, the former valuing the power of Prisma and the latter having some innate elemental power.

---
​

• ~ 3,000 years before the present, the Ogre Clans - led by Zennon atop Ogre Spike - and the Thunder King make war. The war may well have started when the Thunder King "stole Zennon's girl," Feiona (which I take to mean either Zennon's wife or daughter). Together, they have a son, Alfaldo. (Methinks I know where Feinne and Aldo's respective names derive from.) At some point, Feiona passes away.

​

• During the course of the war, Alfaldo is slain by the ogre clan. The Thunder King kills Zennon with Palsifal's holy blade. In this moment, the collective rage of the ogres slain that day attach themselves to the king’s sword, possessing it - transforming it into the cursed blade Ogre Rancorem.

​

• At some point after the war, Ogre Rancorem was placed at the base of the World Tree, turning it into a malevolent plant, for some reason. In response, people build the Dogma Tower was built to prevent the tree from growing above ground and spreading evil.

---
​

• 1 AD, the Kingdom of Miglance is founded, apparently beginning the current calendar. Seven kings into the family's reign, we reach the Present Day.

---
​

• 300 AD, the Present. I suppose Aldo and Fienne were not originally a part of this era’s original timeline. [In the updated timeline, obviously, The Player Timeline goes down when the Beast King makes off with Feinne.] However, come to think of it, the cat - Sorik - that would be Kyros did wander into an inexplicable portal from that time period. (I guess that really kicked everything time-altering off. Whether that event is part of the Original Timeline, I guess is up to interpretation.)

---
​

• ~700 AD, Prisma in general began to noticeably lose power. So, Xeno Prisma was invented 400 years before the Future era. Therefore, it would have been around 700 AD.

​

• The surface of the planet, now absent working Prisma, loses the ability to sustain enough energy to support civilization, becoming inhospitable for human beings. (What became of the Beastfolk is difficult to say, but it’s hard to imagine they weathered the change well, tied to nature as they were.) Luckily, with Xeno Prisma, humans figure out how to lift islands into the sky. They subsist there amidst the clouds, with increasingly futuristic technology, for about four centuries.

​

• Xeno Prisma works well for about four centuries, but its synthetic nature meant it was a solution with an end date. And the end date would result in the destruction of all space and time: the Timequake.

---
​

• 1100 AD, Geo Prisma, the proposed solution Professor Chronos devised to prevent inherent time-quake set to materialize from Xeno Prisma’s destruction, was invented.

​

• At some point, Chronos created the Synth Humans as well. He created two prototypes, Galliard and Helena, formerly human lovers. Their memories are wiped in the process.

​

• Chronos married Professor Madoka and had two children, Eden (EE-den) and Cecile (siss-EEL). Sorik the Cat inexplicably arrived via a wormhole from 300 AD. Chronos names it Kyros and it forms a bond with the family as its pet.

​

• Eden, and years later, his newborn sister, Cecile, are implanted with Alpha Geo, bits of a prototype of Geo Prisma. Cecile’s bit is developed three years after Eden’s, and is seen as an improvement.

​

• Despite the professor’s best efforts, the Geo Prisma doesn’t work as planned, and a time warp occurs, (though at least it wasn’t the bigger, universe-ending type). Chronos, his wife, his two children, and his cat are thrown across time and space. (I may be imagining this, but I could have sworn Chronos would later say that the time warp in question was initiated on purpose so that Chronos could go back 20,000 years to study the Elementals directly.)

​

• If one imagines the original timeline going on after the Chronos family time warp, it must not have lasted too much longer as the Xeno Prisma would have shortly failed and destroyed everything. If not, the timeline ends after the Chronos family exit via the time warp. I suppose it doesn't matter for our purposes.

[NOTE: Sorik's time-hopping may well have not have been part of the original timeline. But even so, I can't see how the subsequent timelines would have been spawned without Sorik/Kyros ending up in the final portal.]

————— NEW Timeline —————

The events prior to player control follow. I will clearly mark when the player's journey begins.
​

• Chronos lands in Antiquity, and there sets about his plan to destroy the future timeline in order to prevent the destruction of all space and time. (His wife, Madoka, I don’t know - I think we’re to assume she died, but I highly doubt that.)

​

• Eden saved Cecile and Kyros, somehow, during the time warp, dooming himself to 16 years of isolation. During that time, he was transformed by chaos (I think) into an evil titan monster: Chronos Menas. You know how it is.

FIRST CUTSCENE:

• Cecile and Kyros together arrive in 284 AD, in the Moonlight Forest, and taken in by the Mayor acting as their grandfather — but not before Cecile turns Kyros into a human who resembles her brother, using the power to the Alpha Geo imbeded in her. In doing so, Kyros loses his cat memory, because as every alchemist knows, creation can only come from sacrifice. The Mayor names the boy who resembles Eden “Aldo” and Cecile “Fienne”. (AHL-do and FEE-nay.)

---
​

• A few years later, when Fienne is a young girl, she was picking mushrooms in the forest and met Altena - part of the beastfolk royal family - who had sprained her ankle. Feinne healed it with her Alpha Geo powers, and she and Altena become fast friends. Only later, after Aldo had to break up a confrontation between them and some village bullies, are they told to not see one another anymore.

​

• At some point prior to 300 AD, a young Aldo comes into possession of the corrupted sword Ogre Rancorem. The details are sparse, but apparently the beast within harbors some special hatred for Aldo. Rancorem, unhappy that an alternate version of the holy sword it inhabits exists in this same timeline, decides to play the long game and someday use Aldo to bring Zennon and the other ogres, along with the Thunder King, into this timeline. Why? To make it that the holy sword is destroyed, and, in the process, to have its revenge against the Thunder King.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

{GAMEPLAY BEGINS}

This is the updated timeline, which is to say the series of events from the perspective of Aldo, time-hopping as he does. In other words, from here on, I’m writing about the sequence of events that follows the game’s events as one plays through them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Part 1: The Cat Beyond Time and Space

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

​
​

• It’s 300 AD and Aldo (formerly the cat Sorik/Kyros, now physically an Eden clone) is a guard of the town of Baruoki in the Kingdom of Miglance. Somehow, he has come into possession of Ogre Rancorem, and even though he’s unable to unsheathe it, he takes it with him everywhere. “Cecile,” now going by “Feinne,” doesn’t remember anything from the original timeline, either, owing to her having been an infant during the time hop. Feinne’s role in society is to collect mushrooms and make Aldo lunch.

​

• Their cat, Varuo, wanders into a random portal (much as Sorik did in the Original Timeline). Aldo follows, meeting the Dream Master at the Gallery of Dreams. He takes this all in stride, considering what a massive discovery it is.

​

• The Beast King, Guildna, and his henchman, Vares, barge into the Mayor’s house and kidnap Feinne in order to use her dormant power to rule the world. (Somehow! The Mayor is the most powerful fighter in the game! He trains Aldo, afterward! How is no one finding this odd?) Vares breaks some poor guy’s neck during the course of all this, but I guess no one knew the guy because no one mentions him ever again.

​

• Giving chase, Aldo is easily defeated by Guildna. Needing Aldo alive, Ogre Rancorem awakens in order to defend him. While it is not enough to win outright against Guildna - despite going of far as to awaken the Another Force power - the Beast King spares Aldo “in deference” to Ogre Rancorem.

​

• After his grandfather, the most powerful character in the game (Hello?), teaches him some fighting techniques, Aldo is accosted by Vares in the Moonlight Forest. Though Aldo wins the duel, Vares summons a couple chimera to hunt him down. Mysteriously, before the monsters can attack Aldo, a portal appears just in time to transport him to safety.

…800 years later….
​

• Prior to Aldo’s arrival in Elzion, things proceed much as they did in the Original Timeline. As a reminder: the Prisma lose their power, the earth spoils, Xeno Prisma is invented and allows humans to exist on floating islands, then Xeno Prisma begins to dangerously lose power around 1100 AD. Professor Chronos and his wife, Professor Madoka, begin to construct Geo Prisma to counteract Xeno Prisma’s world-ending destruction, they put Alpha Geo bits into their children Eden and Cecile, and the whole family - including their cat, Kyros - is sucked into a dimensional vortex.

​

• After the disappearance of the Chronos family, the Synth Humans, apparently discriminated against and mistreated by regular human meatbags, violently revolt, led by Galliard. Initially, he only targets the human military, and only enough to attempt to force peace talks.

​

• The Rebellion Circuits - implanted in many Synth Humans by the mysterious Cardinal Vestige - activate and drive Synths mad with rage for humanity. The Cardinal Vestige, a clandestine group with the goal of humanity's survival no matter the cost, initiated the rebellion so that humanity would fight with Synth Humans instead of fighting amongst themselves (as humans are wont to do).

​

• Though Helena and Galliard were not implanted with Rebellion Circuits, the latter decides to not abandon his chipped comrades. (Galliard and Helena seem to be aware of the inevitable timequake that will occur when Xeno Prisma fails, and perhaps also fight to prevent this, but I'm unsure on that point.)

​

• Around this time, before or after the rebellion begins, the Administrator is chosen to lead Elzion by a quantum computer.

​

• During a Synth Human raid in 1090, Amy's mother is killed. Amy, a blacksmith's daughter and bad cook, swears revenge. She eventually becomes the star fighter for humanity.

​

• In 1100 AD Elzion, Aldo - arriving out of the wormhole from 300 AD - meets both Amy and KMS android Riica. With help from Amy's brilliant friend Sebastia, the granddaughter of KMS's chairman, they go on to defeat the leader of the Synth Humans, Galliard. Helena mourns his death, but chooses not to fight the party, desiring as she always has a peaceful co-existence with humans.

[Side note: Amy, while speaking of her late mother inside Sebastia’s house, says that someday she’d help bring an end to suffering in the world, thereby creating, quote, “another Eden.” We’re meant to take that as the origin of the game’s title. But it is actually a red herring, as Aldo is revealed to be a clone of his former friend Eden, and therefore in a literal sense “Another Eden.”]
​

• The future timeline is suddenly erased, along with Amy and everyone else. As Aldo gazes across the ruins of humanity, the Phantom appears and tells him that it’s essential that Aldo travel far back in time to stop someone from accomplishing this destruction. Aldo agrees to do so, and enters the portal that the Phantom generates for him. Little does Aldo know, the Phantom is an agent of Chaos, and they want the deteriorating Xeno Prisma to destroy all of time and space.

​

• Professor Chronos, working in Antiquity, is the one who has built a quantum computer in order to erase the Future Timeline, thereby preventing the Xeno Prisma from blowing up… at the small cost of the existence of countless thousands of people.

…in Antiquity….
​

• Aldo and Riica wind up in Antiquity, about 20,000 years ago, and dispel a black miasma controlling the elemental Salamander. The elemental tells the pair that he senses a darkness coming from Palsifal Castle.

​

• Indeed, the king has lost his wits, having been led astray by the Oracle/Chronos. To reiterate: the professor is working to erase the future in which Xeno Prisma destroys all of space and time. “Difficult problems call for difficult solutions” type, he is.

​

• King Palsifal won’t hear Aldo out because he wants his wife and kid back, and most likely wants to change the timeline to prevent their untimely deaths at the hand of the crazed witch. He teleports Aldo and Riica to a swamp, where they meet Frog Cyrus, the former human royal retainer who has been transformed an amphibian by the aforementioned witch. He joins the party in order to try and make the king see reason.

​

• The three head to the Tower of Time, an invention of the Oracle/Chronos, and find it is both a synthetic living organism and the quantum computer mentioned earlier. (“Visus,” it’s called, for some reason.)

​

• They permanently shut the computer down, ruining the Oracle’s schemes and restoring the Future. The Phantom then reappears and thanks Aldo making things so that the Xeno Prisma can eventually destroy all of time and space, which shocks the party. He also calls Aldo “kit of Chronos,” which everyone takes as the Phantom saying that Aldo is Chronos’s actual kid; the Phantom is in fact being literal and saying the short form of the word “kitten.”

​

• The Phantom generates another portal, transporting Aldo, Riica, and Cyrus to parts - and times - unknown.

…in the Spacetime Rift….
​

• The party arrive at the Spacetime Rift - specifically, Time’s Forgotten Stop - and meet Master, a mysterious bartender who speaks in riddles, both claiming to know and not know Aldo. He informs them about the pillars of light, effectively portals themselves, and the party use one to travel back to the Present, 300 AD.

…in the Present….
​

• King Miglance tells them that his father (the previous king) and Aldo’s grandfather had “valor” when they were young, confusing Aldo, but the topic quickly becomes that of the invading beastfolk army.

​

• The party volunteers to take a break from trying to prevent the destruction of all space and time to help guard Miglance. On the way to destroy a scouting party, Aldo and company instead meet Mobecha and Pepori, beast friends of Feinne. They warn Aldo about Ogre Rancorem’s true nature, and the party repels its attack. The Ogre agrees to obey Aldo and reverts back to sword form, which it claims is now at full power for Aldo to command. Not for the last time, everyone is pretty forgiving of the sword trying to kill them, possibly because Another Force is too valuable to give up.

​

• As the beast army attacks Miglance, the party catches up with Guildna, cornering the Beast King atop the castle. Amy fortuitously arrives to help, having been restored thanks to the party’s adventures in Antiquity. After finally defeating the Beast King, he seems to die. (He disappears in green light, suggesting Alpha Geo interference.). The party then goes, as Aldo says, “back to the future” (™️) to find Professor Chronos.

…in the Future….
​

• Sebastia, a gifted friend of Amy’s, reveals that she knows the Administrator, and is able to secure an audience for the party. The Administrator grants them access to the Xeno-Domain research structure through the Babel Elevator. There, they view a hologram recording left by Chronos and Madoka intended for one, or both, of their children. Since Aldo is effectively a clone of Eden’s, the recording is triggered anyway. (Kyros, in cat form, can also be seen in the picture if you look closely.)

​

• Upon reaching the Xeno and Geo cores, the Xeno Prototype orb begins to somewhat malfunction. While it is not yet bad enough to trigger the timequake that would end all time and space, it’s bad enough to open three red portals to the Corridor of Time Layer, connecting Antiquity, the Present, and the Future. Professor Chronos appears (somehow!) and asks Aldo - the person he believes to be his son - to travel into the Corridor and use his Alpha Geo to dissipate the timequake. Too bad Aldo has no Alpha Geo within him, as he is not actually Eden.

​

• The party almost stops the destruction, too, those meddling kids. But the Phantom appears and demonstrates how he’ll just use a spare floating island to create the quake with the tremendous force of its impact.

…in Antiquity….
​

• The island, transported through time, arrives in Antiquity, but the Four Elementals sacrifice themselves to destroy it, sending pieces of their corpses flying around the world, falling at random. This, in the updated, current timeline, is the reason why Prisma is dispersed across the world.

​

• However, the Phantom can claim a partial victory, as all this only delayed the destruction of time and space. A Dimensional Vortex forms, and it is only a matter of time before it sends everything into oblivion.

…in the Future….
​

• Having been time-warped to the Future, 5 days pass there, and Aldo stands on a beach like a moody teen, being all defeatist and mopey. Then the Gallery Master shows up and gives him a pep talk, Aldo acting as if it’s the most natural thing in the world. Aldo then promptly finds Riica, Amy, and Cyrus and joins them once more.

​

• They reach the Synth Hydra Riftbreaker airship, newly created by the Synth Humans with leftover Chronos tech, which travels through time. The party is unable to enter it, however.

​

• Helena, though nominally a pacifist, joins the party. (She fights them first, making an exception due to lingering resentment over Galliard's death, I guess.) She aids them in gaining entrance to the airship.

​

• Together, they convince the other Synth Humans to join humanity’s cause. (They do this by using the effective, time-tested strategy of beating the shit out of one’s enemies until they see things your way.)

…in Antiquity….
​

• The gang meets with the Oracle/Chronos who takes them to the Tower of Stars. There, he reveals that he and his family had entered the portal willingly, in an effort to go back to Antiquity to study the Elementals in order to find a solution to the timequake. But a gust of time-wind (time weather is a thing, it seems) arrived en route and blew the family their separate ways.

​

• However, Chronos just now managed to complete the fruits of his labors: the Geo Metal. The professor’s face was scarred from years of radioactive exposure, and after King Palsifal deals him a fatal blow, he and Aldo get a Vader-Luke moment as he asks his mask to taken off one last time. Also, Palsifal, defeated by the party, dies. (No one seems to care; Cyrus doesn't react, that I recall. Odd.)

​

• Aldo then receives the Primeval Gem, which is made of remnants of Order or something, and it’s effective against Chaos. But since the Synth Hydra needs time to power it up, and Vares randomly somehow arrives on the airship somehow and invites Aldo to come die trying to rescue his sister (lol ok), they decide to go rescue her.

…in the Present….
​

• At the Beast King’s Castle, after the party arrive in the throne room, Feinne unintentionally starts freaking out due to her Geo Prisma power by collecting the the energy of other worlds. Geo Angurius forms from a union of Feinne and Altena, calling itself the perfect fusion of Geo Prisma and Elemental. But the party mortally wound it, and Altena decides to let Feinne go so that Feinne, at least, can survive. Altena then “dies” the same way as her brother, in a green light, suggesting Feinne’s Alpha Geo powers somehow preserves her.

…in Antiquity….
​

• Using the Primeval Gem’s power to fuel a cannon blast from the airship, the gang punches a hole through the Dimensional Vortex. The ship can’t quite make it all the way, so the party travels to its core on foot.

​

• There, they meet Phantom once again, and defeat him (?) in battle. However, the Phantom survives and reveals Chronos Menas, a titan monster who is extremely angsty and made of dark flesh and fire. This gigantic monster uses the Alpha Geo power. But how can that be? His real identity is revealed to be: Eden! (If you’ve been reading all of this from the beginning, you knew that, but remember the first time you found out? Wow!)

​

• It is revealed that Eden made sure to save his sister (Cecile/Feinne) and his cat (Sorik/Kyros/later Aldo) from the time-wind gust 16 years ago. While his sister and cat ended up in the Present, he was stuck in Chronos’ Umbra - the heart of the Dimensional Vortex - for these past 16 years. There, in the darkness of the abyss, he was driven mad. His imperfect Alpha Geo was further warped in the void, becoming, basically, Chaos.

​

• Aldo accepts his cat origins fairly quickly, compared to how I would have taken the news. (Side note: if one goes back and watches the game’s initial cutscene, one can - barely! - see Kyros in the bushes behind Cecile’s baby basket. The clues were there the entire time! It is revealed Aldo is both “Another” version of Eden and the titular Cat Beyond Time and Space!)

​

• The gang rush in and battle Eden, all the while trying to get him to see reason. Eventually, only Aldo (Kyros), Feinne (Cecile), and Eden remain facing each other. Through the power of love and remembrance - and Aldo transforming back into a cat and running full force into Eden - they are able to bring Eden back to his senses. He tells his sister it’s time to give up their Geo Prisma powers, and in doing so they deus ex machina everything back to normal. Also, however, is nowhere to be found. (I wonder where Kyros is now, though,” wonders Amy. “Did he merge with Eden, or what?”)

​

• In a green flash (Geo Prisma power, seems - Eden’s will, in this case?), Kyros reappears inside the Mayor’s house. He then transforms into Aldo (perhaps also via Eden’s wishes). He and the others to resolve to look for Eden.

So ends the first part of the game, Version 1.0, The Cat Beyond Time and Space.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

~ OGRE WARS (ver. 1.5)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• In 300 AD, after the events of the The Cat Beyond Time and Space, the game devotes itself to something so important that it gets its own version number - 1.5 - but so unimportant that it doesn't amount to version 2.0 ... The Ogre Wars! [Note: I'm told this is because the events were initially to be included in 1.0, but it was decided that would have made The Cat Beyond Time and Space too bloated. I concur.]

​

• The Mayor tells our heroes (as a refresher: Aldo, Feinne, Amy, Riica, and Helena) that there are rumors of the site of an ancient battle, where eerie screams are heard. The group decide to investigate to see if they can locate clues as to the fate of Eden, Guildna, and/or Altena, all of whom met their supposed ends involved in some ways with Geo Prisma.

​

• Sure enough, both Altena and Guildna are revived via Feinne's Geo Prisma. Finding it awkward to have a deutero-antagonist with the blood of thousands of people on his hands joining the party, Geo Prisma brings back Guildna in his young adult form - the Guildna that existed at the start of the game’s very first cutscene, in fact. So, prior to his having committing acts of atrocity. (Geo Prisma likely running the same software that turns cats into clones of humans.) It yanks him out of the original timeline just before he meets the infant Feinne. Guildna meets his (now older) sister on Snake Bone Island.

​

• Ogre Rancorem temporarily frees itself of Aldo's control and opens up a massive portal in the sky. Out descends the Ogres Spike, transported there from about 3000 years ago, prior to the defeat of the Ogres. With them, the human Thunder King and his soldiers, as well - wielding his own version of Palsifal's holy blade. Ogre King Zennon reveals himself, too, though he retreats with his minions. Lastly, Ogres Spike is encased in an impenetrable shield.

​

• Beneath Miglance Castle, the Mirror (mirror on the wall, as it literally is) recounts the story of Ogre Rancorem possessing the sword of Palsifal around 3,000 years prior... adding the detail that the sword was created out an ancient magical stone by Titans, long vanished from this world. (Weirdly, the king of Miglance has the original, uncorrupted Palsifal blade, despite being from the same timeline when it was transformed into Ogre Rancorem.) The Mirror then tells of the Elemental Arms, ancient weapons connected to the Four Elementals from Antiquity, saying the Ogres had sought them out.

​

• The party is informed that a huge black-winged monster has been seen on Snake Bone Island. Traveling there, they reunite with Altena and the younger, reformed Guildna, and everyone puts their... edited pasts aside. They also reunited with Vares - revealed to be a smaller, kinder blue dude - and meet his twin sister, Myra. (It appears that the fact Vares snapped an innocent Baruoki man’s neck in Chapter 1 has been forgiven and/or forgotten.)

​

• Guildna asks Aldo and friends to accompany him to find the island's Genesis Dragon God to acquire a power-up, and they agree. They stop by the former Beast King's castle for a mandatory side quest, and afterward finally arrival at the Dragon God's heart. There, the god's vassal appears and is initially skeptical that Aldo is pure enough to save the world when he wields an evil blade. Aldo proves how pure he is by violently beating the vassal, and is given the power to increase his strength many-fold if he can collect an absurd amount of items by farming dungeons.

​

• Zennon kidnaps Altena. He tells our heroes to bring him the four Elemental Arms in exchange for her life. (One of these being Guildna's Crimson Blade.) This ends Part 1 of Part 1.5, if you're keeping track.

​

• Part 2 of Part 1.5 begins with Guildna confirming that his Crimson Blade houses the power of Salamander. Cyrus suggests the group travel back to Antiquity so that they may ask his associate, Dummy, what next to do. Somehow, the group thinks thinks that sounds right, and they depart.

…in Antiquity….
​

• Cyrus's friend Dummy is - without explanation - literally a straw dummy. It reveals that phantoms of the Elementals can be found at Purgatory. Purgatory is a bardo-ish place in the world one can travel to and talk with dead people, somehow.

​

• Here's a sentence I never imagined I'd type: A straw dummy transports the team to Purgatory using astral projection.

​

• In Purgatory, the team fights the spirit remains of the Four Elementals, which is fine thanks for the Elementals saving the universe from annihilation in ver. 1.0. They gather the Four Elemental Arms: Earth Spirit’s Ax, the Wind Spirit’s Lance, the Water Spirit’s Katana, and the Fire Spirit’s Sword.

​

• Zennon, it turns out, cannot be trusted. While handing over the Elemental Arms, he briefly “frees” Altena only to use her as a biological base for combining the Arms, creating one giant, dark sword. He could kill everyone in an instant, he claims, but he chooses to do the villainous thing and leave the protagonists with time to think of a plan to defeat him.

…in the Future….
​

• Amy has the bright idea to visit Sebastia to see if she has a bright idea. She googles and finds out the Ogre Key. It was at the Macminal Museum, but it was abandoned. Aldo and Amy manage to get it reopened by time-hopping, but “neohumans” Amy used to know, Clughorn and Mildy, steal the key. (Amy dated a guy named… Clughorn?) Neohumans are mutants, in the X-Men sense, with psychic powers.

​

• The pair of Neohumans hide out in Toto Dreamland, an amusement park. The protagonists confront them and defeat the monster the two channel. Mildy and Clughorn retreat, leaving the Ogre Key. Mildy, remarkably, calls the new Neohuman organization the Chrono Clan.

…in the Present...
​

• The fellow from the Gallery of Dreams shows up out of nowhere and "sharpens" the twin blades wielded by the Thunder King and King Miglance. Also, in secret, he switches the blades. This sort of becomes clear, later.

​

• Ogre Key in hand, our heroes return to 300 AD to do battle with the ogres. The key disables the forcefield around Ogres Spike, and the combined armies of Miglance and Thunder attack from three sides.

​

• After avenging the Thunder King's son, Alfaldo (awfully similar name to Aldo), killed years ago in the Thunder King's timeline, Ogre Rancorem takes control of Aldo. The sword-ogre threatens the life of the Thunder King, but Aldo's friends beat him mercilessly until he is freed from its control. Ogre Rancorem promises not to do it again, and everyone is satisfied, somehow.

​

• Everyone comes together and defeats Zennon, the killing blow struck by the Thunder King. However, as Zennon dies, the souls of the ogres that day slain converge on the Thunder King's sword - it turns into another version of Ogre Rancorem. (Aldo's version does its best to explain the situation.) This way, since the Thunder King's sword remained uncorrupted, they all end up with two Ogre Rancorems instead of three. Follow so far?

​

• King Miglance gives the Thunder King his own Palsifal's holy blade, uncorrupted as it is, and the Thunder King and his troops return to their own timeline. Since the Thunder King has both the uncorrupted *and* the corrupted version of the same sword, the timeline remains in such a way that both Aldo and King Miglance will someday come into possession of their respective versions of the same weapon in the same timeline.

​

• Ogre Rancorem apparently planned out the whole thing - summoning the Ogre Spike into our timeline - so that our timeline would be altered to the extent the holy blade of Palsifal would not exist, but things played out differently in the game's timeline, thanks to us. (Aldo: "My head's going to start hurting if I think anymore about this." Mood, Aldo, mood.) Altena is returned to normal.

​

• Ogre Rancorem sets up a sequel by saying "the Goddess of Time" would soon return and that he'll have need of Aldo when she arrives.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

~ EPISODE: The Closed-off Open World and the Azure Rebel (ver. 1.9)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[NOTE: There are other Episodes up until this point, of course, but I don't believe any besides this one and parts of the Celestial Tower one - so far - are integral to understanding the Main Story. If that turns out to be untrue and Part 2 of the Main Story requires knowledge of one or more of the other Episodes, I'll add them in at some point.]
​
...in the Future...
​

• Leongrantze Figaro San - "Leo" - the youngest company officer at KMS, becomes very bored and decides to put into motion a complicated plan to make business dealings with mysterious forces in an alternate world. (I guess they luckily use the same currency, or else there's an exchange rate that I can't possibly understand.)

​

• Becoming smitten with Sebastia, the granddaughter of the CEO of KMS, he finds her old school project schematics and begins mass producing... well, it's basically a gundam. He decides that's what he'll sell, but he does so behind the backs of his fellow KMS leaders.

​

• KMS invents LeA-BAK, a rogue Synth Human created by KMS, modeled on Galliard. Leo enlists it to further his plans by enticing it with rumors of something called the Chronos Report, supposedly filled with secrets Professor Chronos catalogued.

​

• LeA-BAK contacts Helena. He makes some vague threats and leaves the party to wonder how to proceed.

​

• Through a series of events that may or may not be directly important to understanding the overall story (I'll update if necessary), our heroes resurrect Galliard and he is informed about all that transpired since his death. This was also orchestrated by Leo in order to possibly locate the Chronos Report.

​

• Biaka, nominally an agent of the Administrator, is revealed to be working for the Cardinal Vestige, the mysterious masterminds behind the Synth Human Rebellion. Pointing the party towards one of their secret bases, they learn of the plot to obtain the Chronos Report. Though they accept help from the Cardinal Vestige this time, Amy and the rest declare that there will be a reconning with the shadowy group controlling everything from the shadows.

​

• LeA-BAK is defeated by Leo's gundam, commanded by Leo, who declares his intent to discover the contents of the Chronos Report in order to unlock the "Sealed Garden," using his control of the "Time Layers," whatever that means. However, after dying again, Galliard is resurrected by a kiss from Helena, (...) and saves the party from certain death at the hands of Leo and Sebastia's gundam. Sebastia then destroys about 100 mass-produced gundams - they being based off her schematics, she had included a self-destruct option.

​

• The party - and LeA-Bak, saved by Galliard and Helena - escapes the building that housed the now-destroyed gundams, and Sebastia is narrowly saved by none other than Leo.

​

• Despite everything that transpired - world-ending level subterfuge and the attempted murder of the party and all - the pair decide to be on decent terms. (What?) Leo reveals that KMS found out about his schemes but was overall impressed by his boldness. However, they decide to stop attempting cross-time transactions.

​

• Galliard cryptically mentions "the stars" are at least somewhat in control and that the preceding events have shone light on the mysterious "Over Technology." Meanwhile, LeA-BAK is shown utilizing a wormhole to travel to times unknown.

I see a lot of frustrated posts by PTs about low salaries/too high of a caseload etc. so I thought I'd post some advice for starting your own practice because I truly believe that is the largely the way forward for our profession as a whole.
​
All that negativity about shitty companies taking advantage of new grads etc. is completely valid...there are a lot of shitty companies in our field that focus on quantity not quality. I hope I can help some people see that it doesn't have to be that way and that there are other options.
Some background on my practice: I run a small practice (myself, 2 part-time 1099 PTs, and a part-time administrator) in an urban area and I've been in business for 2.5 years. My practice isn't perfect, it's not the end-goal for me, but I take every other Friday off, I treat no more than 10 patients a day, it's all 1:1 care for 60 minutes and I take home about $120K/year pre-tax and I pay my 1099 contractors above going rate. I also take Medicare, I take Carefirst (which is the largest payer in the area) and I accept out-of-network patients from Cigna/United etc. My practice isn't in a big space with lots of overhead. I rent 2 rooms in a community center (very affordable) and furnished the equipment there myself (Crossover symmetry bands, adjustable dumbbells up to 50# each, infinity bands, table, a barbell and some bumper plates...and a few other things...there is a knee extension downstairs and some cardio equipment in the community center) Again, it's not the flashiest clinic and it doesn't have everything I want but it gets the job done.
​
Advice...I am just one guy with no business training, no mentorship and no business background that did this myself during the pandemic when I couldn't get a job anywhere. It's probably not the perfect runway to success but it's my experience and I hope it's helpful.
**Making your exit**
If you're currently working OP and want to run your own clinic in OP but are afraid of your non-compete...you shouldn't be. They are largely unenforceable legally speaking (they can't stop you from making a living where you live) especially if you don't *actively* solicit your patients to leave and follow you...if they choose to follow you though...who are you to stop them from seeking out care they want? However, if you're uncomfortable with that...then leave your OP job and go work in-patient or better yet, work 2-3 PRN inpatient jobs or homehealth jobs (depending on how many shifts you want.) They pay well and they won't conflict with your OP practice once you get started. I personally like the PRN route becausae you can start dropping PRN shifts as your personal practice gets more popular. That way, you keep your income coming in and it's not as big of a risk as leaving your OP practice all together and starting with nothing. From personal experience...that is very stressful.
*I didn't get to do this route because again, I started in the pandemic with no job. However, if I had to start over again, the PRN route is what I would do.
​
**Establish LLC**
Some people prefer S-Corp. My understanding is it may be beneficial over an LLC down the road when you're making decent money but it's more complicated and requires more paperwork and that's not what you need right now. An LLC is easy. Just search your state and establish LLC and you can likely make one online in like 30 minutes for $150. You'll get a tax-ID number and once you have that you're ready to rock.
​
**Open business bank account**
You'll need your tax-ID number for your business. You need a separate account so insurance companies can send you money for your services. Open a bank account for your business and you're off to the races.
​
**Finding a space.**
I initally worked out of an amazing gym and it was VERY hard to build a caseload because there was no parking and it was in a busy area of downtown so rush hour traffic was awful. Don't make that mistake. Prioritize the following: easy to get to...easy parking...cheap rent. That is what you want. Easy to get to...easy parking...cheap rent. You don't need a massive storefront ATI lease when you're starting out on your own. Look at community centers...consider renting space from a gym (as long as it fits into those three rules).
*Easy parking. Easy to get to. Cheap rent.
-Try not to pay >$700/month for your space if it's just 1 office room.
-It doesn't need to be big. The most effective part of PT is 1:1 time, your hands, your knowledge, your rapport with the patient, your ability to diagnose and treat what they have going on...flashy equipment is nice but it's expensive and when you're starting out...you don't need expensive thing :)
- Don't do a percentage of revenue (or if you do, put a very short term on it...like 3-4 months just to help you get going.) Even if you only pay $15/session...once you are seeing 15 sessions a week suddenly you're paying $1,000/month for rent. Don't sacrifice your long-term success for short term comfort.
***********ADDED: Do not be afraid of the big PT companies. I set up shop DIRECTLY across the street from both a Pivot and an ATI because the space fit the three rules above. Pivot is a little hidden within the large building across the street but ATI has a storefront presence you can see from the road and I do not...I'm hidden within a community center across the street. On paper that sounds pretty bad. They are both within 100 meters of my clinic and I do not care. I couldn't handle the ATI volume if it came my way anyways. My schedule is full of people that specfically *do not want* the high volume PT experience. The space fit the rules above and I didn't let the larger companies scare me away.
**Insurance**
So this is a big question...do you take it?
-Medicare: I would highly recommend taking Medicare...and just pay someone a few hundred dollars to get you set up...don't bother doing it yourself. Medicare patients love and need physical therapy...Medicare typically pays pretty decent ($100-$115/session at 4 codes in 54 minutes.) Also, these patients typically come to PT in the hours that are typically slow (11am-3pm) and they are an easy demographic to market to because they don't typically have to pay for care. It can take a month or 2 to get set up with Medicare so start the process right away once you find a space (even if you haven't started treating there yet, you can get the ball rolling with Medicare once you signed a lease/rental agreement.)
-In-Network Private Insurance: By using Google you can typically find the marketshare of different insurance companies in your area (for example, how many people have Carefirst versus Cigna etc.) I google searched my city and that healthcare insurance marketshare and eventually found the answer. If 10% of people have Cigna and Cigna sucks (which they do) then don't waste your time taking them right now...you can take them later if you want (probably don't though.) Once you know who are the big dogs in your area...look up their fee schedules for physical therapy codes and see if they are worth your time. Sometimes this can be challenging to do. You sometimes need to start the credentialling process to see the numbers...once you get the numbers from them..you can always decline and not sign the contract. I'd say if they pay less than $90/session you probably can't be in-network with them if you're treating 1:1 for an hour. Remember...you can bill 5 codes/hour with private insurance (AMA) if they aren't following Medicare rules. Medicare is 4 codes in an hour (54 minutes.)
-Authorizations: You do need to understand and take the time to know which plans require authorization. Call the insurance companies to get the answers if you can. For instance, in my area...anyone with a Carefirst plan that starts with MYY needs an auth. I missed that a couple times and ended up treating people for free :/ that'll happen but try to minimize it when you're starting out.
- Out of Network Private Insurance: Great option here. Out of network insurances will typically pay $140-160+/session. I am out of network with Cigna/United/AETNA because their in-network rates are laughable/depressing (still haven't figured out which....maybe both???) Yes it means it's a bit harder sell because patients have to use their out-of-network benefits and typically have a deductible but oftentimes patients do see the value of 1:1 care and they are willing to pay cash-rates for a short period of time until they hit their deductible and their insurance starts to cover some of the care.
So in overview...I'm in-network with Medicare and Carefirst (Carefirst has 80% marketshare in my area) and OON with Cigna/AETNA/United. I wanted to take Medicaid but I can't because it's illegal to charge a cancellation fee for this group. Since I treat patients 1:1...unfortunately I can't afford to just have cancellations that I don't charge for. It really sucks and I wish this wasn't the case but that's the system we live in right now.
My reimbursement breakdown is the following:
Medicare pays me about $105-115/session, maybe around $130/eval.
Carefirst pays about $95/session (just barely what I need to run the business)
Cash patients: $150/eval $135 treatment
OON patients: Around $140-160/session
​
**Billing**
Don't do it yourself. Just don't do it. Don't do it. I'm highly recommending you don't do it. Please don't do it. You will hate your life and be bad at it. I use a company called Big Sky Billing. They work with people just starting up and they also work with large companies. They charge me 5% of whatever I get reimbursed by insurance and that is well worth the time of not calling insurance companies, resubmitting when I forget a modifier etc...following up on late reimbursement etc etc etc. They also helped me understand out of network billing. They are wonderful. I highly recommend you do not do your own billing.
Don't try to do everything. You are good at treating people. Outsource the things you're bad at it. You're bad at billing.
**Communications**
Set up your own google gmail with your company name...so [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])
I use a google voice number so I have a separate line for my business that people call and it rings on my cell phone. It's cheap and easy.
​
**Admin**
You may not need an admin from the start. I didn't use one till I was seeing 20 sessions/week and it really freed me up to start seeing more people. The main benefit of admin is that someone answers the phones, they do your auth's, they check and verify people's insurance benefits and they can also do scheduling. I recommend finding someone that wants to just work part-time and be a 1099...for instance, a stay-at-home parent who only wants like 10-15 hours/week is perfect.
**Marketing**
Okay so you have your space...you are in the process of credentialing...you have a biller set up...how the heck do you get patients? What you do have right now is time. So wield it. Contact community centers around you, gyms around you and offer to give a 45 minute workshop on something...falls risk prevention for the older folks, the importance of strength training (and how to do it) for our older folks...easy tips for treating back pain...make flyers on Canva and post those things EVERYWHERE...go into coffee shops...gyms...whatever just leave them wherever you can..
Google My Business: Most important thing you can do. Most patients don't want to go far so they google "PT near me" and then that little map comes up on Google maps with the pins. Google My Business is how you put your pin on that map. It's freaking free and it's the best marketing. Make sure you fill out the whole profile (rank will be better.) Then, once you discharge patients...MAKE SURE YOU ASK FOR REVIEWS. It feels awkward at first but you have to do it. Patients read reviews to figure out where to go. I email them something like the following after discharge: Hey X once again it was great to see you and I'm so happy you're feeling better and doing so well. If you're open to it, there are two or three amazing ways you can help a small business. 1) Writing a google a review (link here)...patients often don't know the difference between PTs or where to go and reading about your experience will literally make all the difference in who they seek out for care...it is also just incredibly helpful for a small business in getting the name out ahead of some of the larger corporations. Second - if you have a portal where you can drop a line to your doc...they don't know the difference between where people can get PT...hearing about your experience with me can actually literally change who they refer patietns to in the future. Thirdly...simply just mentioning your experience to your friends and family is hugely helpful. Of course, please don't feel any obligation to do this. I hope whenever you're around you feel comfortable popping in and saying hi! It's always great to see familiar friendly faces and I love hearing how you're doing. Wishing you well.
Website: Don't worry about SEO. I'll probably get crucified for this but you just can't compete with the big companies pouring money into it. You're not going to rank in the first page on Google anytime soon. Don't waste your money on it (at least for now.) You want a website that looks nice and is up so that when people find you (through more organic means) they can go to your website and see that you're legit. I use squarespace. It's super easy...pretty affordable and looks good.
Social media: Make an account and start posting. Post on NextDoor and whatever apps you can. Don't sound desperate (nobody wants to go see someone who is desperate for patients) just announce your services and that you're looking forward to contributing to the community.
Docs: Don't buy them lunches. Don't do that. They often don't care and they won't refer you many people but it IS Helpful to go to their offices...just don't spend a ton of time and money on them. Go there, find the names of the docs...go to the front desk and say something like the following: Hey there - I'm a new PT in the area and I've worked with a few of Dr. X's patients...I just wanted to drop off some more cards for them to help with their PT referrals...do they have an administrative assistant I could chat with for a moment?" Sometimes you get to talk to them sometimes you don't. Either way, your cards are now in their office. Some of those visits won't lead to any patients but some of them will. Once you get a patient from them...make sure to fax the progress note and maybe even drop by the office with a hand-written note saying "thank you for sending over X (even if they didn't an the patient just found you randomly...be mindful of HIPAA don't use the full name) we are working on xyz and they're doing better already...I look forward to working more with you in the future, here's my direct line if you have any questions" and sign your name/numbeemail. I got this tip from a friend and i'ts very helpful.
Gyms: Go talk to the owner or manager. Let them know you're a new PT in the are and you're looking for a good gym to send your patients to. This will make them very happy. Ask about their trainers...who is good with working with older adults? Who likes athletes? Show interest in who would be best for your patients...THEN ACTUALLY REFER YOUR PATIENTS TO THEM and when you do, make sure you ping the patient to let them know to tell the manager that you worked with them and recommended they go there. They will now think of you when they have people in pain. The more you give, the more you will get in return.
​
**Paying PTs**
In the future I plan on hiring W2s and having full time PTs. But honestly, that's a bit much for me to wrap my head around right now. I have a toddler and things are busy enough without all the complications that go into W2 hiring. I decided to start small, hiring 1099 contractors and paying about $50/hour. I used Square to pay them and it was incredibly simple. Write up a contract (or now you can probably have ChatGPT do it and then have a lawyer look over it) get their info and put it into Square and then you can now pay them for their time. I pay them per session...no risk because you're only paying out money when you have money coming in (although yes it can take a while for insurance to pay you but typically it's like 4-6 weeks.)
**Wrap up**
​
Yeah that's a fair amount. I just kind of wrote this off the top of my head because honestly, there is a lot of negativity in this channel and I hope that maybe we can turn some of that around. This list isn't everything... but it's a large part of it. I really think the future of our profession hinges on how many of us are willing to be independent providers and not work for big corporate mills. I cannot tell you how many patients see us and are so thankful to just have 1:1 attention. It makes such a difference in their outcomes and how you're able to change their life and relationship to their body.
I'm just a guy who came out of school in February 2020. Turns out...really bad time to start looking for a job. No business background, no family in business, no mentoring, no training. Just figuring shit out because I literally had no other option. It felt like drinking out of a firehose at first. I had a baby on the way and no job and no money coming in. Really not great. I don't say that to brag. I say it because if I had any other option at the time I would have jumped on it and probably been really unhappy with a low paying high volume job but I would have justified it because of the security it provided me. I would never have started down this path if I had another option because I was too afraid of what went into running a business and I doubted my own capacity. Now, I am so happy I did what I did and I would never go back to working for a big company. The way I did this is not the only way to do it..some of you probably have better ideas..but I do think it's a pretty decent one and it's approachable for those who don't know what the heck they are doing. Or at least I hope it is.
DM me for questions. Happy to help out.

You can absolutely do this and I hope you do.

tl;dr: I've asked repeatedly about changing my medication because my Armodafinil/Modafinil prescriptions have mental side effects. The doctor won't prescribe Adderall, because "the treatment shouldn't change the patient's personality", while she's ignoring everything I'm telling her. Two appointments and an "emergency " portal message, which took her 4 days to answer, she recommends Strattera, which seemed okay until I searched for the genetic name Atomoxetine. It might be good she waited until it was too late on the Friday assignment of a holiday weekend to reply. This stuff can cause fatigue, drowsiness, or insomnia. ANGER, motivation, lack of motivation, lack of an erection, or priapism. Hypertension is apparently an issue with it, another reason she gave for not prescribing Adderall. While it may seem like I'm jonesing for Adderall, I don't like the effects of that either, I used to break my tablets in quarters, and I'm literally asking about the minimum dose in XR.
*Backstory: A few months ago Adderall was hard to get, and my center KEPT trying to give me appointments with its new doctor. The new doctor gave me both Armodafinil and modafinil. It keeps me awake really good, however it saps everything. I'm bored and have little motivation to do anything I used to. I'll even start things and become nihilistic partway through and quit, even sex. Her first suggestion was Xyrem. I'm old and have to go to the bathroom a couple times a night so I'm not thrilled with that. Next solution was just to reduce the Armodafinil, because I'm in so much it's not as effective 🤨 the big issue is modafinil making me intolerant. I can feel it building, know it's a problem, and sometimes mitigate it. Once it kicks in then it becomes "they're fucking assholes, they deserve this shit". Many days I've frantically waited for the office to open to call about changing medication only to have it kick in and not because it's "no longer a problem". She had some issue with Adderall and will not prescribe it, I've asked 3 times for a low dose which I know cuts back on these side effects, maybe I just became used to it after over a year on it. The intake nurse at the center, also a patient, which mentioned that because she's never seen anyone on both Armodafinil and Modafinil, confirmed she doesn't give Adderall. So main story... *

Baymax

"Hello, I am Baymax, your personal healthcare companion"

Baymax is a healthcare robot created by Tadashi Hamada, a student at the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. After Tadashi’s death, Baymax took Hiro, Tadashi’s younger brother, as his primary patient. When Hiro decided to build gear to become a superhero and bring the man who caused Tadashi’s death to justice, Baymax joined him, along with Tadashi’s former classmates, to become Big Hero 6, San Fransokyo’s premier superhero team.

"I cannot deactivate until you say you are satisfied with your care"

For 3 years I've been dealing with Emotional Numbness and Sexual Dysfunction that all started after an intense and chronic episode of stress, depression, and anxiety. My emotions are blunted both positive and negative. I can't feel sexual arousal, desire, pleasure, or thoughts. I have erectile dysfunction and reduced sensitivity to my penis.
The emotional numbness and sexual dysfunction have been the most bothersome symptoms.
However other symptoms I've been having in addition to all of this are: brain fog, muscle tension, and a suppressed appetite.
I did the DUTCH Plus test that my Functional Medicine Practitioner ordered and this is what the results revealed:
1) High morning cortisol with decreased waking response decreases appropriately throughout the day
2) Estradiol (E2) above range
3) Estriol (E3) above range
4) Androsterone above range
5) Testosterone above range
6) 5b-androstanediol high end of range
7)Estrogen metabolism 2-OH to 2-MeOH 63.9%, 16-alpha 19.4%, 4-OH 16.7%
8) Saliva cortisone total above range
9) Saliva cortisol total within range
10) Pyroglutamate low end of range
11) Homovanillate low end of range
I just read this from the report on my patient portal. I follow up with the Nurse Practitioner in a few weeks. Could any of these results correlate with my symptoms?

Hi! March 2020 longhauler still here, still queer, still very much not okay, and, after a long posting hiatus, I thought I would crawl out of my humid cave for a sec to offer a firsthand account from the NYU Langone Post-Covid clinic in case anyone is wondering.
Tl;dr: While your mileage may vary, I just went and was pleasantly surprised. Based on the care I've gotten in my long haul tenure, my expectations were in the toilet and I fully anticipated this being a total waste of time, but was glad I went. I'm still managing my expectations; it remains to be seen whether I can endure repeated trips into the city and whether anything actionable will come of them. But so far I'm experiencing a higher quality of care than what I was getting including feeling heard and validated and having my care considered holistically (in the sense of the whole person and all body systems and medical issues informing each other) and coordinated in a way that relieves of some of the burden on my end and thus would recommend them to anyone.
I landed on NYU Post-Covid after hearing good things, hearing disappointing things about OTHER post-covid clinics from other longhauler friends, and having NYU recommended to me by my dentist. They accepted my insurance and my copay was same as a specialist visit. I took their soonest appointment which was several months out but, unprompted, they actually called me to let me know they had a cancellation and offered sooner availability (kind of unheard of.) As is often the case, they send you emails beforehand inviting you to get set up in the patient portal and fill out an extensive pre-visit questionnaire. The first appointment was an in-person intake with a Nurse Practitioner. The building seemed new and upscale, and I was surprised to be one of very few people in the waiting area. The receptionist was kind and accommodating when I needed to sit and use an iPad rather than standing to sign the forms they were asking for. The NP spent an hour with me, took vitals and a thorough medical history (including symptoms during acute infection vs. persisting issues), answered all my questions, made several referrals (cardiology, neurology, rheumatology, ob/gyn, psychology, pulmonology, and rehab/PT), and ran bloodwork at the end (including labs I asked about/requested) right down the hall. They asked if I drove myself there (I couldn't) and, knowing that I don't live in the city and the travel was taxing on my system, without my asking, they offered to try to minimize in-person demands (trying to make specialist appointments virtual or at locations closer to me when humanly possible.) They said they would try to maximize efficiency for the times I did need to come in, so for example, helped coordinate two in-person appts on the same day when I need to return in July for a Pulmonary Function Test and to see a resident doc.
They set expectations at the beginning of the appointment by communicating that long covid is still something they're learning about, but went out of their way to tell me, "you're not crazy" and that they are seeing other OG long haulers with issues similar to mine. After what we've been through, a little validation goes a long way. I asked about a wheelchair fully expecting they would refer me back to my primary about this, and when they asked very matter-of-factly why I needed one, I felt myself tense up a bit - the PTSD from the medical gaslighting is real - but she listened thoughtfully to my explanation and without hesitation responded, "we'll order one to your house." I could have cried. She worked with me to decide which type of chair would be best and put the order in on the spot. The med supply company contacted me same day (though my insurance found a way to ruin it, but that is a story for another day.)
My NP patiently answered all my questions and added some labs I brought up to the standard bloodwork, which was done down the hall by a lovely phlebotomist who was good at her job and expressed compassion for what we go through. I got the results within hours in the patient portal, which is mercifully clear and, save for a minor snag, easy to use, unlike my usual medical group's patient portal, which was apparently designed by deranged chimpanzees. Today I had to follow up because the handful of specialists they referred me to were supposed to reach out to me within the week, but I hadn't heard yet. Once I did that, the person I spoke to said she just messaged every single one reminding them to reach out, and I got a call from one within a couple hours.
The last piece of this that excites me is - they said when I return in person for my appointment with one of the residents, they will likely invite me to participate in research studies if I'm interested.
To sum it up: I found them overall to be helpful, responsive, and compassionate, and I'm cautiously optimistic. They are busy and human and this is not a panacea; you may run into some of the same bureaucratic issues and inconveniences that arise at other practices (ie. long wait times for appointments, having to follow up on things) but you also may experience a higher quality of care and/or the revelation of being truly heard by people who believe you, have seen others like you, and who've chosen to devote themselves to this cursed disease. They seem to get that bedside manner and care coordination are important parts of the equation for us, and that meant a lot to me. The rest remains to be seen! I'll do my best to provide some updates when I can. Love to you all. *slithers back into bottomless abyss*
