bell jar table lamp
over this past weekend i spent as much time as possible doting on my new begonia, hellebore, and oxalis plants, trying to get them through this serious sunlight drought we’re having right now. while i’m really loving my larger plants, i’m still nursing a major obsession with miniature plants: babys tears, snow roses, and geraniums.

over this past weekend i spent as much time as possible doting on my new begonia, hellebore, and oxalis plants, trying to get them through this serious sunlight drought we’re having right now. while i’m really loving my larger plants, i’m still nursing a major obsession with miniature plants: babys tears, snow roses, and geraniums. so when i was building today’s under $100 table lamp guide i was immediately tempted by this bell jar table lamp from west elm. though it’s $149 price tag put it above the budget of today’s roundup, i couldn’t resist posting it this morning, as i’m dying to use it as an informal terrarium for some of my miniature plants. i’m wondering if the heat from the bulb will be too hot, but i think it might be worth a shot, especially considering how easy it would be to move a tiny potted plant in and out of the lamp base. if you’re looking to start a mini lamp garden like i am click here to check out the bell jar lamp at west elm.

living in: coal miner’s daughter
About half the time when I pick a movie for this column, I know y’all are going to like it. I mean, who can complain about Amadeus or Romeo and Juliet? This week’s movie I’m not so sure about, as “design-y” people can be funny about good old fashioned country living and country [...]

About half the time when I pick a movie for this column, I know y’all are going to like it. I mean, who can complain about Amadeus or Romeo and Juliet? This week’s movie I’m not so sure about, as “design-y” people can be funny about good old fashioned country living and country music. I should just get this out of the way and say I ADORE Coal Miner’s Daughter and all of the twangy goodness that goes along with it. And it’s heroine, Loretta Lynn, is my girl, through thick and thin.

peach floral fabric $9/yd, antique hoosier cabinet $1995, opening ceremony flannel dress $186, apple pie $35.25, bow barrette $14, shaker broom $35, hand dipped tapers $12, vintage roper boots $70, sunlight soap planter $199, cotton bandana $3.50.

Born in a Appalachian mining town and married at the age of 15 (with four babies by the age of 19), Loretta’s rise to stardom was anything but ordinary. Sissy Spacek’s slam dunk portrayal and singing have me itching for a little country in Brooklyn. Out come the overalls and apple pie, and this time for keeps. -amy m.

antique 1880’s quilt $675, Fender acoustic guitar $199, vintage miner’s lantern $24.95, knitted beanie $18, repro steepletone radio $60, carhartt overalls $52, Maid-Rite washboard $19, wire egg basket $34, chickens.

outstanding in the field
this past christmas, aaron and i received one of the most thoughtful and interesting gifts from my parents: tickets to an upcoming meal with outstanding in the field. i know this is a bit off-topic from my normal morning-design-eye-candy posts, but this entire event series really encapsulates so many of the things that i, and [...]

this past christmas, aaron and i received one of the most thoughtful and interesting gifts from my parents: tickets to an upcoming meal with outstanding in the field. i know this is a bit off-topic from my normal morning-design-eye-candy posts, but this entire event series really encapsulates so many of the things that i, and the d*s team, hold dear (supporting local artisans and communities and spending time in nature) that i couldn’t resist a quick design time-out.

outstanding in the field is a traveling culinary experience that brings together local farmers, food artisans, chefs, and winemakers to “celebrate food at the source”. a HUGE winding series of tables are set up and guests are invited to join the chefs for a meal hosted at a wide array of locations, most revolving around farms. i love the idea of getting together with a large number of people and celebrating so many of the things i feel most strongly about in life- food and local agriculture. i find the drive and spirit behind the event, the beautiful locations and humble, rustic decorations are more than to keep me checking online for more images from people who’ve attended previous events.

the schedule for 2010 is due to be posted any moment now, so if you’re interested in attending one of the outstanding in the field events this year, you can view the schedule here. maybe ac and i will see you at one of the events this summer! [thanks to my mom for the great idea!]

About half the time when I pick a movie for this column, I know y’all are going to like it. I mean, who can complain about Amadeus or Romeo and Juliet? This week’s movie I’m not so sure about, as “design-y” people can be funny about good old fashioned country living and country music. I should just get this out of the way and say I ADORE Coal Miner’s Daughter and all of the twangy goodness that goes along with it. And it’s heroine, Loretta Lynn, is my girl, through thick and thin.

Born in a Appalachian mining town and married at the age of 15 (with four babies by the age of 19), Loretta’s rise to stardom was anything but ordinary. Sissy Spacek’s slam dunk portrayal and singing have me itching for a little country in Brooklyn. Out come the overalls and apple pie, and this time for keeps. -amy m.

this past christmas, aaron and i received one of the most thoughtful and interesting gifts from my parents: tickets to an upcoming meal with outstanding in the field. i know this is a bit off-topic from my normal morning-design-eye-candy posts, but this entire event series really encapsulates so many of the things that i, and the d*s team, hold dear (supporting local artisans and communities and spending time in nature) that i couldn’t resist a quick design time-out.

outstanding in the field is a traveling culinary experience that brings together local farmers, food artisans, chefs, and winemakers to “celebrate food at the source”. a HUGE winding series of tables are set up and guests are invited to join the chefs for a meal hosted at a wide array of locations, most revolving around farms. i love the idea of getting together with a large number of people and celebrating so many of the things i feel most strongly about in life- food and local agriculture. i find the drive and spirit behind the event, the beautiful locations and humble, rustic decorations are more than to keep me checking online for more images from people who’ve attended previous events.

the schedule for 2010 is due to be posted any moment now, so if you’re interested in attending one of the outstanding in the field events this year, you can view the schedule here. maybe ac and i will see you at one of the events this summer! [thanks to my mom for the great idea!]

Sora no Woto 11 – Not so quiet on the Western Front

Wait for it Price we only got one shot at that bastard Zakhaev…

Rio-hime has gone off to try and bring peace, but it seems that negotiations have been over for some time as it must have taken a while for both Helvetia and Rome to mobilize forces to far flung frontiers. Considering that Vingt, where the fighting was the fiercest in the last war, is in the east, it is no small logistical feat for the Romans to mass on the Western Border which was lightly defended but carefully watched. Noel seems to have been the Harbinger of the Romans’ destruction when she was working for Helvetian weapons reclamation (they weren’t making anything new they were just bringing back some of those old magical weapons). However it seems that Noel was dubbed as the Witch of Helvetia for being the Reclaimer of Lost Technology during her time under Colonel Hopkins. Much of this episode hints at how when Noel was loli that she had an affinity for the relics of the past that Helvetia needed to fight off Rome. The interesting thing here is that the use of WMDs is the side that is fighting for national survival which is probably the most likely use of WMDs in our own world as their use as first strike weapons is unthinkable in cases of mutually assured destruction be by internal WMD stockpiles or being under the aegis of a power that does have WMDs. Nevertheless one can be pretty certain that if a nuclear state were to be invaded and on the verge of perceived defeat the nukes would fly the VX gas canisters will be used. As serious as the use of chemical weapons is it seems that Rome with it superior numbers of conventional forces backed Helvetia into a corner and asked for Iliya and now Rio as a hostage wife of the Emperor between a the choice of fighting a war they probably couldn’t win and becoming a vassal state, Helvetia chose to fight it out for independence and eventually resorted to unleashing the horrors of the past to avoid defeat. In that context the use of Noel’s reclaimed chemical weapon (possibly a blister agent like phosgene given the coughing of blood, though there is a lack of horrific blisters) isn’t as clear cut as it may seem from the usual WMDs are only used by the bad guys trope that permeates more simplistic takes/platitudes about war. Given that the Roman Army was attacking Vingt when the gas was used and they are invading now that the Emperor cannot have Rio as wife and hostage it’s not as if the Romans are the good guys either nor is Noel completely absolved of her involvement in creating the WMD (though getting sleepy might earn her more forgiveness in the short term).

Noel has regrets about her involvement for which I don’t really blame her since she was a child at the time and it happened on a larger scale with Physicists after the advent of nuclear weapons. In the case of atomic weapons many physicists had a crisis in faith as their science was used for a most dramatic weapon of destruction, even if the use of both bombs resulted in less death and destruction than incendiary munitions used over Japan I suppose the knowledge that just one nuclear weapon can gut a city was just too awful to contemplate. At least that is how the story goes as my Microbiology Professors told it in how microbiology benefited from the mass defection of physicists having trouble reconciling how their science ushered in MAD. Also Noel seems to have visited the sites of her handiwork which gave her guilty conscience a face and a a few parting words. As a microbiologist I can sympathize with Noel since my science can be used to create bio-warfare agents that can cause a most painful death, however it can also provide resources, medicines, and bio remediation. Like pretty much everything else it can cut both ways. Even if Noel has reservations about completing Takemikazuchi I hope she realizes that Takemikazuchi can be instrumental in liberating Rio from a loveless hetero marriage. Even if the my inner scientist is sympathetic my inner sailor is looking at this most horrid of scenarios with black humor, and to that end I assuaged my own horror by pretending that Noel’s Invisible Reaper was an anti-boy agent that culled the male population of three towns that resulted in a gender skew favoring the females. The truth is probably all the males 18-40 were rounded up into elite Royal Guard formations with all the best equipment that formed the nucleus of the Helvetian Army’s striking power, it’s probably the same with the Roman army as well since they also used young women for dangerous scouting missions and kept the 18-40 males in the main attack force.

I have my doubts that Noel has cut all her ties to the weapons reclamation program, as it is unlikely that Hopkins would simply let go of his little loli genius who gave him the weapons which he earned his own infamy, and some how miss that Noel was still in the Army using the same name that is now infamous among the Romans. Hopefully they will reveal a little bit on how Noel managed to stay with the 1121st for so long, even if it was just because there was a budget cut, royal protection from Iliya, or that Hopkins was reprimanded after Vingt. Hopefully Noel is going to make a speedy recovery since there is a BIG FIGHT coming to the town. Right now my own constructed timeline is that 200 some years ago the Angel of the Apocalypse (Rodan) gave civilization and the ecology of the Earth a good thrashing before it was finally killed, possibly by fire maidens with a Type 0 tank, from the ashes rise competing states one of which becomes Rome and another becomes Helvetia. Religion takes over as science and technology decline, the religious question of the “purpose” of Rodan causes a schism that prompts conflict (though wars are not necessarily religious in nature they provide an additional dimension to the political struggle of Helvetia for continued independence and Roman Imperial ambitions). Helvetia is not a major power like Rome and seeks to work out an alliance but the marriage plans for Iliya to marry the Emperor turn sour, for whatever reason Rome will not accept continued Helvetian independence (whether it is because they have other major power to content with, they are simply expansionist, wish to control the site of Rodan’s watery grave for religious reasons, and/or if the Emperor just plain likes pretty women is anyone’s guess). War breaks out and Rome invades Helvetia through Vingt, at first things go bad for the Vingt garrison, desperate to avoid rout Hopkins is authorized to use Noel’s chemical agent to turn the tide. However Hopkins has only enough to use on three targets with any meaningful force from his new weapon, three towns are hit the vagaries of using gas in an open environment with winds blowing about means that Helvetians are killed whether by design or by accident since this is the first time chemical warfare is reintroduced since the coming of Rodan. Iliya is sent with her royal guard divisions as an armored reserve to mop up the Roman who have been thrown into disarray from the use of the Invisible Reaper. The Romans come to know that Noel was the one who created the gas, while the Helvetian Army covers up the incident and disbands Hopkins’ unit. Noel is reassigned to the 1121st, whether by simple military orders or royal protection is not known, but Iliya with her penchant for saving little girls it is possible that she posted Noel far away to the west to save Noel from being pressured to develop any more WMDs.

On a lighter note Rio may be gone but Aisha has ended up being Felicia’s new plaything. On the one hand 1121st is not doing anything wrong by treating their prisoner well, but in reality depending on the army and depending on how that army sees the enemy POW tactical information is only good for about 72 hours tops after that a scout isn’t likely to know much more beyond his/her mission, how many units they have seen, and how big their unit is. They might know some of the other chains of command but that isn’t usually the case. In truth unskilled interrogators are more likely to try and beat out information from a prisoner if they are desperate/scared enough. Usual military routine is to treat, tag, bag, and pass Mr. Suspect up the chain. Even with terrorists the small time guys who are just in it for the money just sell people they kidnap higher up the chain until one of bigger groups that has an agenda buys up the hostage and begins a media blitz. It’s not necessarily out of brutality that a POW is mistreated, but out of fear of the enemy and how many of them are there how strong are they, etc. Skilled interrogators are less likely to simply beat it out of people though those people are more rare than excited front-line troops going off on what they have seen in the movies (believe it or not even terrorists watch Hollywood movies and shoot gangsta style). In that sense any attempt to beat Aisha into giving out information relating to her mission was rendered moot since the main Roman spearhead was not far behind her, hence any info she still has will be of limited use once the shooting starts in earnest.

Aisha might be a late addition but she did do somethings right as a POW in that she humanized herself, not that she needed to with the 1121st but she probably will need some good will from her captors now that Hopkins is calling the shots. If Aisha is lucky Noel’s groping is the worst it’s going to get, but given the general tone of the series I don’t think that they will go into detail about how the 9th can be more brutal to POWs. I have heard of methods that they can use, and as novel as Felicia’s threat of yuri rape was it was nonetheless a tactic that can and has been employed, historically rape of POWs have happened and if you think that only women can be raped think again. It’s a rather depressing subject and one that I’d rather not dwell on. Still since we know that Felicia is a nice gal I can say that her threat was amusing and did serve to ferret out if Aisha knew how to at least listen in on the Helvetian language (really important for the US since English is a widely taught language, and just because the locals can’t speak it doesn’t mean they can’t listen in and understand). Aisha either really didn’t know or kept her nerve or excitement (give me a break it was delightfully yuirlicious) and showed confusion. Not sure how the rest of the Romans are but I like Aisha in that she kept her nerve and didn’t give up anything useful to the 1121st, even if they are on friendly terms Aisha is still a POW and the 1121st and now the 9th are her captors. Oh and being attended to as if she had a yuri harem, not to mention her alone time with Noel earned her points as well. Even if Aisha recoiled from the groping it’s a normal reaction given how she was probably in an adrenaline down phase after she worked up the adrenaline to attempt to stab Noel with scissors. I have never attempted something so brazen so I don’t really know what would happen, it probably involve a slap at some point though…

Now that we are approaching the end game with a cliffhanger to dwell on for a week or so, I personally am hoping that Hopkins isn’t just merely a caricature of evil incarnate and that he has a brain. I have faith that Hopkins will make some good decisions in regards to that big Roman Army marching on him and set aside his suspicions with regards to the 1121st. Even if they were harboring a POW Noel and her crew are the only ones who know how to operate Takemikazuchi without any problems. If he’s dumb enough to trust Takemikazuchi to an unfamiliar tank crew he pretty much loses an ace in the hole since he might be outnumbered. Interrogating Aisha is pretty much pointless now since the Romans aren’t hiding out there and all he really needs to do is secure Aisha until there is a lull in the fighting to get some info about the unit she was assigned to. Even if Rio can’t save the day perhaps Takemikazuchi with the 1121st in tow will assume the mantle of Liberty Prime and give the Romans a bloody enough nose to disengage. If there is still time then Takemikazuchi and the 1121st with/without Aisha will begin the Liberation of Rio-hime. I don’t think they are going to go deep into GRIM DARK territory since they have been very mature about the whole series up to this point, the war itself is not as clear cut as say an AU Gundam or Marcoss, but it is refreshing in an almost (again almost) LOGH kind of way since both sides have some pretty major faults (minus the long meetings about meetings, overt history lessons, operational art, grand strategy, large unit tactics). Nonetheless I am pretty excited about the conclusion, certainly up to now Sora no Woto has impressed on many levels, hopefully more people will allow the series to just sweep them away.

I don’t think that’s Jacott…

Designation: Liberty Prime… Mission: The Liberation of Rio-hime of Helvetia

Primary Targets: Any and All Enemies of Noel…

Emergency Imperial Acquisition Directive: Immediate Self Destruct…Better Dead than Red…

It’s probably chemical…

Goddamn Hopkins you’re amateur if you think chemical weapons are going to win this for you…

Good to know that Hopkins flunked chemistry…

Death with a smile…

Well it looks like Noel’s anti-Boy agent is rather lethal…

Not sure if that is a M1911…

I warn you Kanata there are differences be mindful of them…

I suppose Kureha didn’t dispose of any witnesses…

Wait how come Aisha was alone? Is she just an Army of One?

Damn that must have been a brutal forced march through the winter to get here…

Noel mocks your yandere FAIL.

Don’t worry it’s consensual!

Well that was rather quick…

Aisha I hope that’s not your real outfit because if that is they now know more than you realize…

Rank is optional, but good your name and serial number is all you should be telling them with regards to all matters military…

Kureha also took the liberty of getting her three sizes…

…

I don’t think she knows that Felicia is hitting on her…

Felicia considers silence as a yes…

Let her think about that for a minute…

You’d like that if Rio was the one to do it to you amirite?

Kanata doesn’t know but she can damn well imagine… Noel looks like she has seen it before…

Congratulations you are now in a yuri love triangle…

Noel was getting hungry too…

DAAAWWWWWW…

Zyl is going to love this…

Good to see that Aisha remembers that her primary obligation is to escape.

Wait that mecha hating Rodan? Fuck no it’s a Demon!

You probably meant Latin, but the truth is she’s speaking German…

Lucky you Kanata you have a valuable musical instrument fit for royalty.

Anything from Rio is wonderful.

Well that is a bit excessive you can barely see that hickey…

I hope you guys have all your winter gear ready…

And his name is ZEUS!

I guess some one fell asleep when they mentioned to never discuss religion with the locals let alone captors of another faith…

Now you are thinking.

Oh ho the humanize yourself tactic eh?

Well I still think that Rodan is a demon…

Oh dear…not saying that isn’t impossible for your grandma to fall in love with her captor, but part of me thinks that love for him might have come later in life if at all…

That thing isn’t Kuroko… ITS NOT EVEN UIHARU!

Well maybe grandma did convert willingly…

Wait don’t tell me Rodan’s corpse is their equivalent to the Western Wall and the Dome of the Rock…

You have to feel sorry for that one guy who couldn’t leave his pack on a vehicle.

He’s rather Roman looking…

Well if Noel hates the guy I hate him too.

I shall dub him Chemical Hopkins.

Sorry Kanata now is the not the time for wishes…shit’s happening it’s time to do something.

That is not going to cut it for them at the Hague…Let’s hope that Rio can grant amnesty.

Seems the Roman have gone a bit way down since the heyday of the Roman Republic…lone scouts, really?

I wonder who told him that…

To Be Continued…

It seems that Noel is quite famous…whether that is due to poor OPSEC is anyone’s guess.

The Harbinger of the Emperor’s Destruction…

Miss Moel…

I think the Romans aim to change that “n” to an “R”…

Aisha might be a late addition but she did do somethings right as a POW in that she humanized herself, not that she needed to with the 1121st but she probably will need some good will from her captors now that Hopkins is calling the shots. If Aisha is lucky Noel’s groping is the worst it’s going to get, but given the general tone of the series I don’t think that they will go into detail about how the 9th can be more brutal to POWs. I have heard of methods that they can use, and as novel as Felicia’s threat of yuri rape was it was nonetheless a tactic that can and has been employed, historically rape of POWs have happened and if you think that only women can be raped think again. It’s a rather depressing subject and one that I’d rather not dwell on. Still since we know that Felicia is a nice gal I can say that her threat was amusing and did serve to ferret out if Aisha knew how to at least listen in on the Helvetian language (really important for the US since English is a widely taught language, and just because the locals can’t speak it doesn’t mean they can’t listen in and understand). Aisha either really didn’t know or kept her nerve or excitement (give me a break it was delightfully yuirlicious) and showed confusion. Not sure how the rest of the Romans are but I like Aisha in that she kept her nerve and didn’t give up anything useful to the 1121st, even if they are on friendly terms Aisha is still a POW and the 1121st and now the 9th are her captors. Oh and being attended to as if she had a yuri harem, not to mention her alone time with Noel earned her points as well. Even if Aisha recoiled from the groping it’s a normal reaction given how she was probably in an adrenaline down phase after she worked up the adrenaline to attempt to stab Noel with scissors. I have never attempted something so brazen so I don’t really know what would happen, it probably involve a slap at some point though…

Now that we are approaching the end game with a cliffhanger to dwell on for a week or so, I personally am hoping that Hopkins isn’t just merely a caricature of evil incarnate and that he has a brain. I have faith that Hopkins will make some good decisions in regards to that big Roman Army marching on him and set aside his suspicions with regards to the 1121st. Even if they were harboring a POW Noel and her crew are the only ones who know how to operate Takemikazuchi without any problems. If he’s dumb enough to trust Takemikazuchi to an unfamiliar tank crew he pretty much loses an ace in the hole since he might be outnumbered. Interrogating Aisha is pretty much pointless now since the Romans aren’t hiding out there and all he really needs to do is secure Aisha until there is a lull in the fighting to get some info about the unit she was assigned to. Even if Rio can’t save the day perhaps Takemikazuchi with the 1121st in tow will assume the mantle of Liberty Prime and give the Romans a bloody enough nose to disengage. If there is still time then Takemikazuchi and the 1121st with/without Aisha will begin the Liberation of Rio-hime. I don’t think they are going to go deep into GRIM DARK territory since they have been very mature about the whole series up to this point, the war itself is not as clear cut as say an AU Gundam or Marcoss, but it is refreshing in an almost (again almost) LOGH kind of way since both sides have some pretty major faults (minus the long meetings about meetings, overt history lessons, operational art, grand strategy, large unit tactics). Nonetheless I am pretty excited about the conclusion, certainly up to now Sora no Woto has impressed on many levels, hopefully more people will allow the series to just sweep them away.

I don’t think that’s Jacott…

Designation: Liberty Prime… Mission: The Liberation of Rio-hime of Helvetia

Primary Targets: Any and All Enemies of Noel…

Emergency Imperial Acquisition Directive: Immediate Self Destruct…Better Dead than Red…

It’s probably chemical…

Goddamn Hopkins you’re amateur if you think chemical weapons are going to win this for you…

Good to know that Hopkins flunked chemistry…

Death with a smile…

Well it looks like Noel’s anti-Boy agent is rather lethal…

Not sure if that is a M1911…

I warn you Kanata there are differences be mindful of them…

I suppose Kureha didn’t dispose of any witnesses…

Wait how come Aisha was alone? Is she just an Army of One?

Damn that must have been a brutal forced march through the winter to get here…

Noel mocks your yandere FAIL.

Don’t worry it’s consensual!

Well that was rather quick…

Aisha I hope that’s not your real outfit because if that is they now know more than you realize…

Rank is optional, but good your name and serial number is all you should be telling them with regards to all matters military…

Kureha also took the liberty of getting her three sizes…

…

I don’t think she knows that Felicia is hitting on her…

Felicia considers silence as a yes…

Let her think about that for a minute…

You’d like that if Rio was the one to do it to you amirite?

Kanata doesn’t know but she can damn well imagine… Noel looks like she has seen it before…

Congratulations you are now in a yuri love triangle…

Noel was getting hungry too…

DAAAWWWWWW…

Zyl is going to love this…

Good to see that Aisha remembers that her primary obligation is to escape.

Wait that mecha hating Rodan? Fuck no it’s a Demon!

You probably meant Latin, but the truth is she’s speaking German…

Lucky you Kanata you have a valuable musical instrument fit for royalty.

Anything from Rio is wonderful.

Well that is a bit excessive you can barely see that hickey…

I hope you guys have all your winter gear ready…

And his name is ZEUS!

I guess some one fell asleep when they mentioned to never discuss religion with the locals let alone captors of another faith…

Now you are thinking.

Oh ho the humanize yourself tactic eh?

Well I still think that Rodan is a demon…

Oh dear…not saying that isn’t impossible for your grandma to fall in love with her captor, but part of me thinks that love for him might have come later in life if at all…

That thing isn’t Kuroko… ITS NOT EVEN UIHARU!

Well maybe grandma did convert willingly…

Wait don’t tell me Rodan’s corpse is their equivalent to the Western Wall and the Dome of the Rock…

You have to feel sorry for that one guy who couldn’t leave his pack on a vehicle.

He’s rather Roman looking…

Well if Noel hates the guy I hate him too.

I shall dub him Chemical Hopkins.

Sorry Kanata now is the not the time for wishes…shit’s happening it’s time to do something.

That is not going to cut it for them at the Hague…Let’s hope that Rio can grant amnesty.

Seems the Roman have gone a bit way down since the heyday of the Roman Republic…lone scouts, really?

I wonder who told him that…

To Be Continued…

It seems that Noel is quite famous…whether that is due to poor OPSEC is anyone’s guess.

The Harbinger of the Emperor’s Destruction…

Miss Moel…

I think the Romans aim to change that “n” to an “R”…

Wait for it Price we only got one shot at that bastard Zakhaev…

Rio-hime has gone off to try and bring peace, but it seems that negotiations have been over for some time as it must have taken a while for both Helvetia and Rome to mobilize forces to far flung frontiers. Considering that Vingt, where the fighting was the fiercest in the last war, is in the east, it is no small logistical feat for the Romans to mass on the Western Border which was lightly defended but carefully watched. Noel seems to have been the Harbinger of the Romans’ destruction when she was working for Helvetian weapons reclamation (they weren’t making anything new they were just bringing back some of those old magical weapons). However it seems that Noel was dubbed as the Witch of Helvetia for being the Reclaimer of Lost Technology during her time under Colonel Hopkins. Much of this episode hints at how when Noel was loli that she had an affinity for the relics of the past that Helvetia needed to fight off Rome. The interesting thing here is that the use of WMDs is the side that is fighting for national survival which is probably the most likely use of WMDs in our own world as their use as first strike weapons is unthinkable in cases of mutually assured destruction be by internal WMD stockpiles or being under the aegis of a power that does have WMDs. Nevertheless one can be pretty certain that if a nuclear state were to be invaded and on the verge of perceived defeat the nukes would fly the VX gas canisters will be used. As serious as the use of chemical weapons is it seems that Rome with it superior numbers of conventional forces backed Helvetia into a corner and asked for Iliya and now Rio as a hostage wife of the Emperor between a the choice of fighting a war they probably couldn’t win and becoming a vassal state, Helvetia chose to fight it out for independence and eventually resorted to unleashing the horrors of the past to avoid defeat. In that context the use of Noel’s reclaimed chemical weapon (possibly a blister agent like phosgene given the coughing of blood, though there is a lack of horrific blisters) isn’t as clear cut as it may seem from the usual WMDs are only used by the bad guys trope that permeates more simplistic takes/platitudes about war. Given that the Roman Army was attacking Vingt when the gas was used and they are invading now that the Emperor cannot have Rio as wife and hostage it’s not as if the Romans are the good guys either nor is Noel completely absolved of her involvement in creating the WMD (though getting sleepy might earn her more forgiveness in the short term).

Noel has regrets about her involvement for which I don’t really blame her since she was a child at the time and it happened on a larger scale with Physicists after the advent of nuclear weapons. In the case of atomic weapons many physicists had a crisis in faith as their science was used for a most dramatic weapon of destruction, even if the use of both bombs resulted in less death and destruction than incendiary munitions used over Japan I suppose the knowledge that just one nuclear weapon can gut a city was just too awful to contemplate. At least that is how the story goes as my Microbiology Professors told it in how microbiology benefited from the mass defection of physicists having trouble reconciling how their science ushered in MAD. Also Noel seems to have visited the sites of her handiwork which gave her guilty conscience a face and a a few parting words. As a microbiologist I can sympathize with Noel since my science can be used to create bio-warfare agents that can cause a most painful death, however it can also provide resources, medicines, and bio remediation. Like pretty much everything else it can cut both ways. Even if Noel has reservations about completing Takemikazuchi I hope she realizes that Takemikazuchi can be instrumental in liberating Rio from a loveless hetero marriage. Even if the my inner scientist is sympathetic my inner sailor is looking at this most horrid of scenarios with black humor, and to that end I assuaged my own horror by pretending that Noel’s Invisible Reaper was an anti-boy agent that culled the male population of three towns that resulted in a gender skew favoring the females. The truth is probably all the males 18-40 were rounded up into elite Royal Guard formations with all the best equipment that formed the nucleus of the Helvetian Army’s striking power, it’s probably the same with the Roman army as well since they also used young women for dangerous scouting missions and kept the 18-40 males in the main attack force.

I have my doubts that Noel has cut all her ties to the weapons reclamation program, as it is unlikely that Hopkins would simply let go of his little loli genius who gave him the weapons which he earned his own infamy, and some how miss that Noel was still in the Army using the same name that is now infamous among the Romans. Hopefully they will reveal a little bit on how Noel managed to stay with the 1121st for so long, even if it was just because there was a budget cut, royal protection from Iliya, or that Hopkins was reprimanded after Vingt. Hopefully Noel is going to make a speedy recovery since there is a BIG FIGHT coming to the town. Right now my own constructed timeline is that 200 some years ago the Angel of the Apocalypse (Rodan) gave civilization and the ecology of the Earth a good thrashing before it was finally killed, possibly by fire maidens with a Type 0 tank, from the ashes rise competing states one of which becomes Rome and another becomes Helvetia. Religion takes over as science and technology decline, the religious question of the “purpose” of Rodan causes a schism that prompts conflict (though wars are not necessarily religious in nature they provide an additional dimension to the political struggle of Helvetia for continued independence and Roman Imperial ambitions). Helvetia is not a major power like Rome and seeks to work out an alliance but the marriage plans for Iliya to marry the Emperor turn sour, for whatever reason Rome will not accept continued Helvetian independence (whether it is because they have other major power to content with, they are simply expansionist, wish to control the site of Rodan’s watery grave for religious reasons, and/or if the Emperor just plain likes pretty women is anyone’s guess). War breaks out and Rome invades Helvetia through Vingt, at first things go bad for the Vingt garrison, desperate to avoid rout Hopkins is authorized to use Noel’s chemical agent to turn the tide. However Hopkins has only enough to use on three targets with any meaningful force from his new weapon, three towns are hit the vagaries of using gas in an open environment with winds blowing about means that Helvetians are killed whether by design or by accident since this is the first time chemical warfare is reintroduced since the coming of Rodan. Iliya is sent with her royal guard divisions as an armored reserve to mop up the Roman who have been thrown into disarray from the use of the Invisible Reaper. The Romans come to know that Noel was the one who created the gas, while the Helvetian Army covers up the incident and disbands Hopkins’ unit. Noel is reassigned to the 1121st, whether by simple military orders or royal protection is not known, but Iliya with her penchant for saving little girls it is possible that she posted Noel far away to the west to save Noel from being pressured to develop any more WMDs.

On a lighter note Rio may be gone but Aisha has ended up being Felicia’s new plaything. On the one hand 1121st is not doing anything wrong by treating their prisoner well, but in reality depending on the army and depending on how that army sees the enemy POW tactical information is only good for about 72 hours tops after that a scout isn’t likely to know much more beyond his/her mission, how many units they have seen, and how big their unit is. They might know some of the other chains of command but that isn’t usually the case. In truth unskilled interrogators are more likely to try and beat out information from a prisoner if they are desperate/scared enough. Usual military routine is to treat, tag, bag, and pass Mr. Suspect up the chain. Even with terrorists the small time guys who are just in it for the money just sell people they kidnap higher up the chain until one of bigger groups that has an agenda buys up the hostage and begins a media blitz. It’s not necessarily out of brutality that a POW is mistreated, but out of fear of the enemy and how many of them are there how strong are they, etc. Skilled interrogators are less likely to simply beat it out of people though those people are more rare than excited front-line troops going off on what they have seen in the movies (believe it or not even terrorists watch Hollywood movies and shoot gangsta style). In that sense any attempt to beat Aisha into giving out information relating to her mission was rendered moot since the main Roman spearhead was not far behind her, hence any info she still has will be of limited use once the shooting starts in earnest.

Aisha might be a late addition but she did do somethings right as a POW in that she humanized herself, not that she needed to with the 1121st but she probably will need some good will from her captors now that Hopkins is calling the shots. If Aisha is lucky Noel’s groping is the worst it’s going to get, but given the general tone of the series I don’t think that they will go into detail about how the 9th can be more brutal to POWs. I have heard of methods that they can use, and as novel as Felicia’s threat of yuri rape was it was nonetheless a tactic that can and has been employed, historically rape of POWs have happened and if you think that only women can be raped think again.

It’s not necessarily out of brutality that a POW is mistreated, but out of fear of the enemy and how many of them are there how strong are they, etc. Skilled interrogators are less likely to simply beat it out of people though those people are more rare than excited front-line troops going off on what they have seen in the movies (believe it or not even terrorists watch Hollywood movies and shoot gangsta style). In that sense any attempt to beat Aisha into giving out information relating to her mission was rendered moot since the main Roman spearhead was not far behind her, hence any info she still has will be of limited use once the shooting starts in earnest.

Aisha might be a late addition but she did do somethings right as a POW in that she humanized herself, not that she needed to with the 1121st but she probably will need some good will from her captors now that Hopkins is calling the shots. If Aisha is lucky Noel’s groping is the worst it’s going to get, but given the general tone of the series I don’t think that they will go into detail about how the 9th can be more brutal to POWs. I have heard of methods that they can use, and as novel as Felicia’s threat of yuri rape was it was nonetheless a tactic that can and has been employed, historically rape of POWs have happened and if you think that only women can be raped think again. It’s a rather depressing subject and one that I’d rather not dwell on. Still since we know that Felicia is a nice gal I can say that her threat was amusing and did serve to ferret out if Aisha knew how to at least listen in on the Helvetian language (really important for the US since English is a widely taught language, and just because the locals can’t speak it doesn’t mean they can’t listen in and understand). Aisha either really didn’t know or kept her nerve or excitement (give me a break it was delightfully yuirlicious) and showed confusion. Not sure how the rest of the Romans are but I like Aisha in that she kept her nerve and didn’t give up anything useful to the 1121st, even if they are on friendly terms Aisha is still a POW and the 1121st and now the 9th are her captors. Oh and being attended to as if she had a yuri harem, not to mention her alone time with Noel earned her points as well. Even if Aisha recoiled from the groping it’s a normal reaction given how she was probably in an adrenaline down phase after she worked up the adrenaline to attempt to stab Noel with scissors. I have never attempted something so brazen so I don’t really know what would happen, it probably involve a slap at some point though…

Now that we are approaching the end game with a cliffhanger to dwell on for a week or so, I personally am hoping that Hopkins isn’t just merely a caricature of evil incarnate and that he has a brain. I have faith that Hopkins will make some good decisions in regards to that big Roman Army marching on him and set aside his suspicions with regards to the 1121st. Even if they were harboring a POW Noel and her crew are the only ones who know how to operate Takemikazuchi without any problems. If he’s dumb enough to trust Takemikazuchi to an unfamiliar tank crew he pretty much loses an ace in the hole since he might be outnumbered. Interrogating Aisha is pretty much pointless now since the Romans aren’t hiding out there and all he really needs to do is secure Aisha until there is a lull in the fighting to get some info about the unit she was assigned to. Even if Rio can’t save the day perhaps Takemikazuchi with the 1121st in tow will assume the mantle of Liberty Prime and give the Romans a bloody enough nose to disengage. If there is still time then Takemikazuchi and the 1121st with/without Aisha will begin the Liberation of Rio-hime. I don’t think they are going to go deep into GRIM DARK territory since they have been very mature about the whole series up to this point, the war itself is not as clear cut as say an AU Gundam or Marcoss, but it is refreshing in an almost (again almost) LOGH kind of way since both sides have some pretty major faults (minus the long meetings about meetings, overt history lessons, operational art, grand strategy, large unit tactics). Nonetheless I am pretty excited about the conclusion, certainly up to now Sora no Woto has impressed on many levels, hopefully more people will allow the series to just sweep them away.

I don’t think that’s Jacott…

Designation: Liberty Prime… Mission: The Liberation of Rio-hime of Helvetia

Primary Targets: Any and All Enemies of Noel…

Emergency Imperial Acquisition Directive: Immediate Self Destruct…Better Dead than Red…

It’s probably chemical…

Goddamn Hopkins you’re amateur if you think chemical weapons are going to win this for you…

Good to know that Hopkins flunked chemistry…

Death with a smile…

Well it looks like Noel’s anti-Boy agent is rather lethal…

Not sure if that is a M1911…

I warn you Kanata there are differences be mindful of them…

I suppose Kureha didn’t dispose of any witnesses…

Wait how come Aisha was alone? Is she just an Army of One?

Damn that must have been a brutal forced march through the winter to get here…

Noel mocks your yandere FAIL.

Don’t worry it’s consensual!

Well that was rather quick…

Aisha I hope that’s not your real outfit because if that is they now know more than you realize…

Rank is optional, but good your name and serial number is all you should be telling them with regards to all matters military…

Kureha also took the liberty of getting her three sizes…

…

I don’t think she knows that Felicia is hitting on her…

Felicia considers silence as a yes…

Let her think about that for a minute…

You’d like that if Rio was the one to do it to you amirite?

Kanata doesn’t know but she can damn well imagine… Noel looks like she has seen it before…

Congratulations you are now in a yuri love triangle…

Noel was getting hungry too…

DAAAWWWWWW…

Zyl is going to love this…

Good to see that Aisha remembers that her primary obligation is to escape.

Wait that mecha hating Rodan? Fuck no it’s a Demon!

You probably meant Latin, but the truth is she’s speaking German…

Lucky you Kanata you have a valuable musical instrument fit for royalty.

Anything from Rio is wonderful.

Well that is a bit excessive you can barely see that hickey…

I hope you guys have all your winter gear ready…

And his name is ZEUS!

I guess some one fell asleep when they mentioned to never discuss religion with the locals let alone captors of another faith…

Now you are thinking.

Oh ho the humanize yourself tactic eh?

Well I still think that Rodan is a demon…

Oh dear…not saying that isn’t impossible for your grandma to fall in love with her captor, but part of me thinks that love for him might have come later in life if at all…

That thing isn’t Kuroko… ITS NOT EVEN UIHARU!

Well maybe grandma did convert willingly…

Wait don’t tell me Rodan’s corpse is their equivalent to the Western Wall and the Dome of the Rock…

You have to feel sorry for that one guy who couldn’t leave his pack on a vehicle.

He’s rather Roman looking…

Well if Noel hates the guy I hate him too.

I shall dub him Chemical Hopkins.

Sorry Kanata now is the not the time for wishes…shit’s happening it’s time to do something.

That is not going to cut it for them at the Hague…Let’s hope that Rio can grant amnesty.

Seems the Roman have gone a bit way down since the heyday of the Roman Republic…lone scouts, really?

I wonder who told him that…

To Be Continued…

It seems that Noel is quite famous…whether that is due to poor OPSEC is anyone’s guess.

The Harbinger of the Emperor’s Destruction…

Miss Moel…

I think the Romans aim to change that “n” to an “R”…
