Hello, my name is Oleg Borzen and I'm a fellow technology and architecture at the office of the CTO at Equinix. I will be presenting this project that's called complex infrastructure design and multi-domain orchestration, in which we're using edge multi-cloud administrator and on-app controller design studio. This project has been developed under the Linux Foundation Edge, a crane of public cloud edge interface blueprint in collaboration with our networks and I'd like to also present some key contributors from ARNA with a Christian architect and then Kavitha Papana, member technical staff who collaborated in the development and implementation of this project. The agenda for today's presentation will go over the motivation behind this project. What is going on in the public cloud edge interface and what use cases we're pursuing will go over the software integration architecture between on-app controller design studio and the implementation of a Terraform executor that allows us to automatically run Terraform plans as part of the orchestration workflow and then we will conclude with the demo of the infrastructure design and multi-domain orchestration. There's motivation for this project. We observe some key industry trends that are evident in the market. The first one is that often today public cloud is providing the edge computing capabilities and we have examples of AWS Outposts, Anthos, IBM Cloud Satellite, which requires some integration between the public cloud infrastructure itself and the edge resources. In some cases, this integration is completely provided by public cloud, which is coupled, what we call a coupled model like an AWS Outpost. In some cases, integration is partial where hardware is orchestrated separately from the virtualization layer and then the application is right in the top. We need to figure out how to deal with this trend. This also kind of highlights the nature of most practical deployments of the edge infrastructure is hybrid, meaning that the hardware for the infrastructure could be, edge infrastructure could be provided as independent hardware but you know virtualization layer like for example Google infrastructure could be provided from the cloud. So in this case, we really need to, we're dealing with multiple domains at the edge and in the core and we're also trying to understand that they have to inter-work and coexist together, which leads to the need for this multi-domain inter-working. And in that case, each domain, for example in the edge cloud and the interconnection fabric in the core cloud, there are different APIs to different provisioning methods, including CLI, and that makes the deployments time consuming and complex. And also, we basically need some sort of an orchestrator that would understand all of this and leverage some common denominator for the infrastructure, for both the infrastructure and the application deployment. And in this case, we see a great role that Terraform and Kubernetes in health could play in this area. In addition, since this is all multi-domain, and then we are talking about the need to interconnect the edge to the cloud, iterate edges, and that reliable and performant interconnection is required for this solution. In addition, because of this infrastructure is targeted for new applications, developer-centric capabilities are required. The ability to integrate both the infrastructure design, the infrastructure provisioning, and application deployment with CICD environments is one of the key requirements in our project. To transition a little bit to how it relates to the Linux Foundation Edge Acrena Blueprint, the overall context for this is what we call a public cloud edge interface blueprint under the Acrena Linux Foundation Edge. The purpose of this blueprint is to develop a set of open APIs, orchestration functionalities, and also edge capabilities for enabling multi-domain interworking across domains that we define in this picture. We basically want to see interworking across the operator network edge domain, so this allows access to 4G, 5G network to fix networks, the public cloud edge and core domain. So in this case, according to what we're seeing in the industry, certain public cloud capabilities, although they're topologically split between public cloud core and public cloud edge, they're still linked or coupled together from the hardware to virtualization to application and services layers, so we need to be able to orchestrate that. In addition, we recognize that not all edge applications are provided by public cloud, so therefore we want to have a solution that is also uniform across all these domains for the third-party edge applications. In addition, we also kind of recognize that all of these domains do not just hang in the air, they are located in certain data center facilities distributed around the geographies and interconnected by network providers or by interconnection providers. In addition, we developed a set of terminology that you see on the screen, referring to public cloud core as PCC, public cloud edge specifically that has a relationship to public cloud core, either on virtualization or application services or even throughout the hardware layers. Public cloud edge, third-party edge is anything that's provided by third-party independent from public cloud, and then the operator network edge is the resources provided by the mobile network operators. This could be a user plan function, it could be a radio access network, it could be a combination of things. In Release 5 of Acrena PCAI, we developed this architecture slash reference implementation where you see on the screen, we separate entities or we define these entities in the architecture. And then from the right-hand side in blue, these are developers, developers or developers and architects that provide infrastructure as code, for example, templates like Terraform plans that could be executed against public clouds, against the edge infrastructure, against bare-metal clouds or edge clouds and against the interconnect providers. In addition, we have other capabilities where the developers or architects could actually include other things like help charts for the application deployments, and things like identification of where the edge clusters, for example, Kubernetes or OpenStack clusters exist. The pink up top is the orchestration there. So this sometimes we refer to it as the PCI enabler, sometimes as a multi-domain orchestrator, but those terms are interchangeable. The PCI enabler provides API, it's supposed to say APIs, provides the API handling capabilities like the accept API calls from Hylare constructs, and you'll see that in the demo where we have a software layer that we call infrastructure design studio that enables us to develop the, or design the topology and use those API calls to tell the orchestrator what to do. The orchestrator then would basically pull through its Git integration will pull the appropriate Terraform plans or appropriate information from Git and start executing the workflow based on prescribed topology and prescribed design. In the orchestrator we see things like the ability to invoke Terraform to enable infrastructure provision in the public cloud core. In the demo you'll see how we do it with Azure. We have the ability to actually access edge cloud resources in the edge data centers. In this case we use Equinix Vermetal Cloud, which is called Equinix Metal, to actually bring up servers and install Kubernetes. This is interconnection to the public clouds between the edge clouds that is enabling connectivity between edge cloud and public core clouds for both the control and management of the application and for transferring some of the data. On the left hand side you see operators, so operators provide the networking capabilities. In our demo you'll see the ability to connect an IoT device to 4G, 5G network and to actually pass data through the edge application running at the edge and the edge infrastructure deployed through this method. And then process this data and publish the results over the interconnection to the public cloud. In the demo you'll see the public cloud edge interface. On the right hand side you see the capabilities that I just described, but we actually provide northbound APIs for grid integration, dynamic cluster registration, application deployment and animation of deployment of the application instances. In addition we also provide APIs and capabilities to run Terraform as the main engine to kind of provide a uniform capability to orchestrate the provisioning of the infrastructure across all of these domains. And as far as the edge we demonstrate here the ability to interoperate with Kubernetes but we also tried OpenStack and we have plans for deploying the 5G functions in the same manner as other applications based on health charts that are provided by the developers. So this diagram shows both the architecture, the integration architecture, but also it's how we do what we do in the demo. So if you look at the across the bottom, you know, from left to right, we have a UI attached to the 5G network that is then interconnected to this edge cloud and an edge cloud is provided by Equinix Metal. In an edge cloud we have edge infrastructure and basically bare metal resources that we will bring up and orchestrate. Part of that orchestration will involve the deployment of the Kubernetes cluster itself across the bottom. Then later on we'll deploy the composite application on top of the Kubernetes cluster but also with the ability to provide for some BGP routing in order to connect back to cloud. So further moving to the to the right we have the interconnecting fabrics and in our case for this demonstration we have the public cloud edge or edge cloud is in the Dallas region, right, and then the public cloud core where the Azure cloud and private interconnect to it through Equinix fabric across the US, right, and then we terminate that in a private express route circuit within Azure, within the Azure cloud will build private interference so that that private circuit could provide for connectivity to the edge all the way to the edge cloud and all the way to the pod application pod resources and within the Azure cloud instantiate IoT Hub, IoT infrastructure, and also for testing a test VM connected to VNet so all of this is built using using the orchestration up top. But starting, you know, before this can be built. If you, if I can draw your attention to the top of the picture, we actually provide a what we call the infrastructure design studio where we define, you know, the user logs in defines the topology based on the requirements for example selects the edge cloud selects the core cloud understands the latency requirements in between the two provides for authenticator parameters and user input in order to bootstrap this orchestration right with this in the GitHub we or in Git Labs, we have a repo that holds the Terraform plans or templates of what we need to want to happen in, in, in the Azure cloud in the interconnection and how we deal with the equinex, for example bare metal service, equinex metal. So all of this is parameterized and defined in the Terraform templates or Terraform plans. We also have health charts that are responsible for defining the actual applications as you see in the edge Kubernetes cluster. That's called Azure IoT Edge, all the pods, all the authentication parameters. Custom resource definition plus the VGP routing that's provided by cube route in this case as an example. And we also store cluster configs once we deploy this bare metal and install Kubernetes on top where we actually load the, we actually grab the Kubernetes config file and put it in into the Git repository so that the orchestrator can be can forward the cluster resource into its cluster registry. Right. So once the infrastructure design is completed, based on, on, on the desired topology and relationships between core cloud, interconnect and edge cloud, we execute the, the to two actions we, we provisioned the infrastructure first so we basically start with invoking the Terraform plans under the hood that actually build the edge cloud by bringing up the equinex bare metal server. And then we build all of this on Kubernetes on it and, and preparing it for the connectivity. And, you know, we do infrastructure provision in the, in Azure cloud so we basically build express route we built all of the software components here for gateway vNet all that stuff is, is, is been built by Terraform, and then we'll link the edge cloud to the core cloud with the equinex fabric by also using Terraform and building the virtual connectivity across. Right. Obviously, all of this infrastructure underline physical infrastructure is in place, but the big point here is that all of those infrastructure components are actually exposing Terraform providers, so that orchestrators like the one shown here that's called multi domain orchestrator can take advantage of it. Right. Then the M co part edge multi cloud orchestrator of the orchestration layer will be able to actually deploy the applications. The most bound API call will trigger the actual application deployment, which is the Azure it edge, based on health charts stored in the get repo, and basically putting the putting that application in the on the on the edge server. This application deploys based on the information provided in the most bound API calls, it will authenticate back to the Azure cloud stand in the pods will will start running and then in a world will will see the ability to actually send end to end send the IOT data in the low power IOT format compressed data or encoded data for latency for temperature air pressure and humidity in the compressed format we will send this to the edge application edge application will process this data and publishes also the cloud based on this based on this infrastructure. So the orchestration workflow is defined here in the workflow blueprint that is implemented in under the CDS controller design studio as part of the on app component and as part of this orchestration project right so we have actions that are responsible for the infrastructure provisioning we for connectivity for deployment of the edge infrastructure for provisioning the Kubernetes cluster into the orchestrator onboarding the cluster itself, defining the service based on the and the composite application based on the health charts and then actually deploying sorry and actually deploying this application on to the edge edge cluster. So, for the demo, we're actually doing, you know, this actions that I've outlined, right, and we really kind of show in our project that we deploy MCa2.0 which has become a new Linux foundation networking project, we add CDS controller design studio and install controller blueprint archives in order to be to implement those things like Terraform, health charts processing, cluster registration application deployment and so forth. Based on, you know, this information is actually stored in Git so we'll show you where the Terraform plans are stored, what they look like for Azure, for ECOMICS to connect for ECOMICS metal, what the application health charts do. How the cluster info is also stored. And we basically, you know, design this infrastructure in the, in the design infrastructure design studio so we pretty much topologically build the edge cloud, the public cloud, the interconnect, and we trigger provision of this infrastructure with the API calls that are that are happening in the background, you know, based on this interaction between CDS and Terraform to bring up better metal servers to install Kubernetes to activate provision infrastructure in Azure like ExpressRoute, we do that by registering VNAT, VM, and IoT Hub, and then we connect the edge and core with the ECOMICS fabric. And after that, once the infrastructure provision step is complete, we actually deploy the end to end, the public cloud edge application which is Azure IoT edge, we do that by dynamically registering the edge Kubernetes cluster to EMCA, we are onboard the health charts to EMCA and then deploy this application. And the last step in the demo is end to end verification. So at this point, I will provision, I will transition to the demo, and we'll show you the, the video of the demonstration. At this point, I would like to transition to the demo.  So in this repository we store the various templates, including the actual code for the CDS blueprints then we, you know, we have in the repository a collection of templates. Like I said, we have the cluster config file itself that we basically pushed into the repository after the deployment of the Kubernetes cluster on the edge compute. And as you will see later in the steps, we have the Kubernetes health charts, right, for the application deployments, and the Terraform plans also stored here. For example, if we look at the template Terraform plan that we use for Azure, we can look at the structure here and look at the actual syntax of the, of the resources and connections and all of this is real information with the IP addresses you see later on being deployed into the infrastructure. So, at this point, we will log in into our infrastructure design studio. So, it allows us to create topologies right first we create a new topology where we name it public cloud edge interface, just to be in line with our other project. Here we have the description we can put in and then pick the edge location which happens to be in the Apple Data Center in Dallas right and the PCC location which is US West Azure. So here we specify various parameters that we need for example the operating system we need for the edge node, the view lens for the interconnection, the type of server that's we need and then what we need in terms of the authentication in Azure, like the connectivity 50 megabits per second, we have the expression on circuit name resource group and BGP parameters that will be used later on to link the Azure core and the edge. At this point our topology is ready. So we can click on for example interconnection and add specific parameters that are required for the interconnect fabric for example the port names, the VLAN IDs for interconnection, primary and secondary, as well as where we send the notification. So at this point, our interconnection topology is primed right and we are deploying the infrastructure. What's happening under the hood is that this software front end is now sending API calls to CDS and CDS is starting the workflows retrieving access and other parameters from Git and executing the flows. So at this point, we, you know, just take a look under the hood what's going on like I said, the Terraform is executing. And what we're seeing here is the view from the equinex metal portal where this edge server in Dallas has been created. So you see it's going through its provisioning boot sequence. And the server is up and running. We can SSH to it so we see we can get to it from public IP address, but we also send private IP address, we see the server characteristics. Also, we look at the network that was created, including the VLAN for local networking within the equinex metal fabric, but also connected to the global interconnection of the fabric through the port and a connection we specified for the fabric VLAN 543. So at this point, let's see if we can SSH to the server right so we get the SSH access information just to see that the server is up and then the Kubernetes has been deployed and think of that so we SSH to SSH to the server. We see that the it has interfaces and has the correct IP addressing on the on its interfaces and the routing information that was specified, you know, for for connectivity to Azure. So also checking the availability, you know, the actual Kubernetes cluster has come up right so we see just the system pods, nothing else is running right now on this on the server. So at this point, our cluster on the edge compute server is up and we can show the the config file for that cluster that the orchestration has already imported into the cluster registry in the in the MCO orchestrated. And we'll also look at what's going on in Azure right so the orchestrator is continuing its work in terms of creating the infrastructure. So what's what's happening right now is that the express route circuit within Azure has to be created and we see this is coming up right now. It's not yet fully provisioned right so the Terraform plan started executing against against Azure and it has to create the circuit and the private period within circuit but you know we'll also look at the interconnection fabric what's happening inside the interconnection fabric, or those connections actually created so you see this two connections on the land 542 and 543 so look at the 543 is our primary villain and we're making right now the the the the orchestrator is triggering the connectivity within equinex. Once this is done, we should see that the express route circuit has been provisioned. And now the orchestration flow of transitions to create in private private peering BGP. So, was this was to confirm that the circuits are fully operational back at the at the equinex equinex fabric so right now, they are there but they're pending BGP complete BGP configuration so we have one side provision which is in Azure, but the other side on the edge server hasn't been hasn't been provisioned yet, but at this point we have the the circuit itself enabled and ready to proceed with the BGP configuration, but for that we need to make sure that the application has been deployed and put in the cube router so here in the MCO orchestrator we see a composite application has been has been defined which is consistent three parts there. And we'll look back at the cluster, right, so we'll see that no application parts as yet running. So we're going to deploy this application at this point. Using using user interface just to show how this is done so we create a service instance, we give it a version number, and then we will associate this application of service instance with the edge cluster, which we deployed in the in the first step. So basically consists of three parts the Azure custom resource definition for it edge it edge parts themselves in a cube router to complete the BGP connectivity to the Azure cloud. So we just triggered the application deployment we see that the cube router part is up and the application it edge parts are coming up as well. So this point what what is supposed to happen is that this application pods will use this BGP connectivity between edge cloud and the core cloud to register with the public cloud or it back in. And this is what was going on so we deployed all of the spots, we deployed cube router, we initiated the BGP connection and now we should see that BGP coming up. And for that we'll go back to Azure, look at the route table under the private peering on that express route circuit, and what we should see there is the server that should be established so we'll see some of the prefixes right so from the private vnet and also from the express route circuit. And if you look at the route table we should see actually all the pod routes advertised from the edge server right through this express route connection orchestrated all the way into into the vnet route table and you can see the pod prefixes, and also the vnet prefix that should be known back at the edge, and then the edge server we look at the status on the cube router and we see that the peer with Azure has been established, and we see the routing table that's been propagated. That's the end. This point we can look at the status of the BGP peer itself or BGP neighbor from the from the edge server. So this is a just for illustration purposes we ran BGP using cube router. There are other methods of how to do this we see that the neighbor has been established, and we can paint between the edge server and in Dallas and Azure cloud in Silicon Valley you see latency is about, you know, between 3032 to 37 millisecond as we had on our topology definition application. At this point, we can also look at the Azure so there's a test VM that we spun up just to be able to to look at the connectivity. We are, we will confirm that we can reach between the test VM and the, and the edge pod so for this edge pod is listening on the sport 50,000 and five, and we're opening a connection, and we're just making sure that we have direct connectivity. At this point we will be able to, we should be able to send it messages from the device itself. And for that we haven't simulated it client connected to the 5G network. It's running on a on a device right that's connected to the 5G network in our case or 4G never. So we see that we can send messages to this port 50,000 five from the it device on the access side of the network. So we're going to do that to send it to the it edge application running on the edge so in this case what we're seeing is that the client is sending compressed it messages right so they are actually encoded if you look at the sequence numbers and the PDU that is sent this is encoded temperature pressure and humidity information and on the logs of the application pod that's running on the edge server we see we see that it's been decoded right and also been published into the into the it back end so to do to verify that would go to the it back end look at the it edge definition and we see that the shadow of this edge device that's running on the edge server in Dallas is is reflected here right so we see it status it's pods right and then we'll look at the metrics of received it messages that that have been decoded by the edge and published today to the cloud so to do this will look at the metrics screen and we'll look at the combined number of messages received and this is this is where we are at this point we see the messages from the it edge application all the way to the public cloud or through the intersections that we created


Good morning. What follows is a purported transcript of an at-sea radio conversation between the United States Naval Ship and Canadian authorities off the coast of New Zealand in 1995. Now, for any sailors here, feel free to bring out your maneuvering boards, your compass, and your parallel rulers to calculate the closest point of approach or CPA. What here follows the transcript of that radio communication? United States ship, please divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision. Canadian reply, recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision. United States ship, this is the captain of the United States Navy ship. I say again divert your course. Canadian reply, no. I say again, you divert your course. United States ship, this is the aircraft carrier USS Coral Sea.  Divert your course now. Canadian reply, this is a lighthouse. Your call, captain. Now, although this joke or sea story everyone look at has been around for many years, I think its message is relevant to all of us today. We must all maintain awareness of the situation around us and we must always be open to correcting our course based on new information. This message will resurface throughout my remarks from addressing the NRC's use of operating experience. During my first RIC in 2010, excuse me, 2011, I provided my initial impressions as a new commissioner. Last year I taught my risk communications. This year I wanted to take on a broader and some might suggest a more ambitious task. This year I want to give the audience a 50,000 look at one commissioner's decision making post Fukushima. These are my personal opinions only. This will be a fly by through some of the topics but I think it will give you some insights as to what one person's thinking is and these important decisions that other colleagues have addressed over the past two years. Not since the accident at Three Mile Island in 1979 has the NRC been confronted with as many important issues so essential to the core of our mission as have arisen in these past two years. While much of the attention has rightfully been on the technical merits of the near term task force report recommendations, now applaud Dr. Charlie Miller and his teammates for that effort. It is just as important that we consider the long term regulatory impacts of our post Fukushima actions. Today I want to walk you through my view of our Attica Protection Framework, how that has shaped my decision making, and the factors that I take into account when I make decisions as a commissioner here at the NRC. I hope that this will demonstrate not only one commissioner's views but also demonstrate that the post Fukushima votes are not a series of disparate decisions but rather are practical applications of a larger regulatory framework.


Hecate is a brutal game and I have just about had it. There are so many matches where I have no idea what I'm supposed to do defensively and I just get run over. So, does that mean I went into the lab, used the intricate replay system to practice what I'm supposed to do? No, of course not. I went into practice, mod and learn how to do chain grabs on King so that I can make these other players feel how I feel. And now in this video, I'm going into rank to try to hit my peers with an unskippable QTE as they watch me play Tekken single player. Tekken has really changed me as a person, but leave a like and subscribe if you want to see more Tekken videos. I'm not going to lie, I've been getting cooked since the last video man. My rank might have gone up on King a little bit, but I promise I've been getting nothing but cooked. Oh, get the counter hit though and I'd mess up the co- Once again, I've been cooked. I want to make sure I'm getting hit nice and early. Oh wow, that was not a grab I expected, I'll be honest. Just give me heat, give me heat, I'm trying to go into my games. Powerbomb coming up, you gotta, you gotta crouch. You gotta crouch, let me tell him to respect the low. And he just launched me. He's done that move a lot though, I think that might be his go-to. We know he got one, he got one combo in edge practice mode. I just block high, wow, just block high. Just block high, now let me suplex him. All right, we got a round, we got a round. I just, I have to keep it up, you know, I just have to keep it up. Why does it sound like there's a gas leak on this stage? Just wait for the shining, he's got. Oh, the dash and grab, okay, that's fine. But as long as we're not getting launched by the shining. Oh, put him in the jab lock into the giant swing. Bye, say bye to have your health bar, bro, now come here. Okay, you got me. Now, no, no shining, no shining. Into the grab, yes, thank you. All right, say bye. You lived? Say bye, say bye to your legs. I'm taking your legs away now. Do I hop kick? Do I go crazy? Never again will I do that. One, two, one, grab, thank you very much. If you're not gonna crouch, then I gotta teach you to away. You're still not crouching. If you're not gonna crouch, don't make me power bomb you. Hold on, Jaguar run into power bomb? Jaguar run into power bomb. Oh, wait a minute, you wouldn't do it twice. Oh, did you just crouch? Did you just crouch? Hold on, did you just crouch? Cause I gotta, no, I gotta know if you just crouched. Finally, we will take a win. I am still less than halfway up Dominator. We gotta get another win here in this set. I know these Tekken treats are gonna treat me poorly, so we gotta get a win here. I can't afford to lose any more points. Show them the belt. Oh, I forgot to mention, I customized King. I just got tired of the, honestly, the only reason I did it was because the cape was distracting, which would explain why I have exact, oh, counter hit, counter hit. Oh, I gotta go low. I gotta punish this guy low. All right, we'll take a grab though, as long as we're not getting hit with, shining, shining. Give me that. Oh wow, low counter hit that hurt. And it gets into a launcher. Oh gosh. Oh gosh. One, two, one, grab. Thank you very much.  Do the shining, shining, shining. There it is. Give me that. Big grab, long distance, you know I had to take it. All right, we're up. We're on round two. Let me sidestep. Sidestep, come here and grab. Do you know how to break it? I've been in the lab with King. Bro, do you know how to break it? I gotta ask, okay, break this one. Oh, that's three. How about four? Let's go for four. How about five? Let's do five then. Throw them around.  I should have pressed the button earlier. I'll give you that. I'll give you that. Like any fighting game, Tekken's a lot more fun when I'm the one doing the, what are you doing? What are you doing? What?  What was that for? What was that for? Oh, shining. Oh, oh. Oh, it's all over now. Where's my armor? One, two, one, grab. It's not over. You survived the grab, but can you do it again? Okay. Hit this guy, King. Just hit him in the face then. Ah! I had to cut that out. I had to get the camera to cut that one. Hop kick. I knew that if I waited, if I was patient enough, I'd get my round start hop kick. Can I get a low? No, can I get a low? Thank you. Can I get a low? Grab, jab. Into the giant swing. He takes it. He gets away from that. Let me take this armor. Let me take this armor. Shining? Shining right here. Nope, shining right here. There it is. Get off me. Oh, put him in that dirt. Give me the shining wizard. Oh, you tanked it in. When, when humanity needed him to tank it most, he pulled it up. Don't, don't kill me. Oh yeah, not. I'm sidestepping all of that. Put him in the dirt. I know you have a gun. I've got shot by it before. I'll take, I'll take some points. Great game to that guy. Let's move on. Oh, this is going to be a rough video. I already know it's going to be rough. Up next, oh, I love this map. Up next we got a Leo. Things are looking a little, a lot of people are roasting me for how I say Leo, by the way. That's just the way the announcer says it. I'm not against calling them Leo.  Oh, big, big one, two, one grab. One, two, one grab. Why is it lagging? Why is it lagging? Oh, did I catch you? Crouch dashing again, trying to get fancy on me. Change the watercolor here. Shining wizard. Nope, I dropped it. I'm really not trying to get sent through the ground though. So if you know a combo like that, just, damn. So you got some combos against the wall, huh? Oh God, I'll take that. Thank you. I'll take that.  One, two, one grab. Thank you very much. I don't think that breaks the floor though. No, it does not. It's okay. Cause I'm going to get the power bomb to do it. I'm going to get the power bomb to do it. No, I'm not. No, I'm not giving them legs. Okay. Jaguar run into legs, get me a little far. I will say though, the connection's a little wonky here. Hop kicked. Nope. Okay. Oh brother, I got to just not go low. I'm not talented enough to go low. That's fine. Let him have the low. Let him have the low. No. And then that's when I crouch and then I get bodied. One, two, one grab. Thank you. No breaks. I'll take that every day of the week. All right. Redamage. I just really, is it, is that Harry Potter glasses, bro? Shining wizard. Oh, I take that every day. Crouch that. Oh God. Oh no. No, no, no, no, no, no. No, I'm cooked. I knew I was cooked there. I knew I was cooked. All right. Round three. I'm just going to Jaguar stance back, try to, you know, try to get my patience. Oh, no counter hit though. One, two, one grab. No, I didn't get the input. I'm glad that hits mid giant swing. Giant swing. My inputs are trash. Armor up. I just wanted the armor for this.  At that distance, I got to go for the legs. Oh man, it just looks so jittery. Get the grab. Thank you. Okay. Oh, that's my kill. Oh, you can't get hit raw by that. I was doing that for the mix up. I was going to do that into the Jaguar run. Muscle. Okay. Wow. The step into a launcher.  You're crazy. I'm taking the leg kick every day. One, two, one grab. Thank you. Oh man. Every time, every time. I'll take it. No, no, no, no. The sweep, the sweep. I literally, I knew, I know that move. Oh God, final round. Can I get the win? Can you break it? I need to know if you can break this one. We lay in the sidestep grab. We got to extend chain grabs. We got to extend. How many can we get? Oh, we're just being. Okay. You break that one. That's fine. Oh, big whiff. One, two, one grab. Yeah, baby. That's what I've been waiting for. Back step. Oh, now we get launched. This, this is bad. Heat combo launched. This is about to be disgusting. The stomp combos in heat. Wow. That is cheap. I'm not going to rematch. Not because I'm salty, just because the connection was a little bad. I wouldn't be surprised if our opponent doesn't rematch either. Oh, well now I, now I look. I promise I wasn't salty. I mean, like the normal amount. I mean, I would have rather won. Yes. I have never once seen Zafina in this game at all. I have no idea what's about to happen here. Are you going low? Me too. One, two, one grab. I got it. Okay. Hold on. Okay. Oh, I could have gotten so much more off that. Oh, the trade was fine. I get, oh, come on. Side step into a grab.  Now you got to break it. I just lost the, oh, oh no. Oh, step forward. Go low. That move is so good. Step forward. Let's go. I got to use more of that move. That move is crazy good. That move is crazy. It gets me to Jaguar run. I'm feeling it. Okay. I like the armor. One, two, one grab. Thank you. I got to call it out. By the way, that's mostly for me. I'm not even going to lie. This helps my memorization. I'm sorry. We're not at the level where I can commentate Tekken and be good at it. Or not even good at it, but even be decent. Sorry. Oh, big launcher. I got to hit him with this. Oh, Christmas. Shining wizard. Yup. I saw this one. Oh, that was not the grab I wanted. I'm going to be honest. Shining wizard. That's the one I wanted. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. We're up two rounds. I'm just going to insta-heat. All right. Oh, we had a. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. Oh, Lariat. Man, the Lariat is so good. Oh, Lariat. Don't combo me. Don't make me do it. We all know what I'm thinking. One, two, one, grab. Give me that. Thank you very much. All right. We have our rage art. I'm not trying to use it though, to be- Power bomb. Okay, we're going to get in here. Just, I'll please hit him before that low hits me. Yes. Wow, it actually goes through the low. That's a little more cheap than I thought. Throw this. I got you. You're welcome. Or nothing. Hit him with the pose. Now they're in rage. If I hit this power bomb though, it don't matter. Okay, it didn't matter. I got a block low. Oh, I'm not even good at the game like that. I just thought it made sense for them to hit me with a low. We got some points off that one. We got some points off that one. I'm feeling good again. I finally have confidence is so key in Tekken. It's crazy.  I'm going to hop kick round start. I regret it.  Jaguar run. Oh, I've always spaced that so poorly. Get off me. It's time to go with the... Oh, I did the same move. Oh, you crouched? Oh, you crouched? Like I don't got that counter hit strats and then I messed up the buttons. What, what, what way does that hit? Where's the, not the drop kick, but like the medium kick. Is that? Crouch. All right, I probably should have hit that button like 10 minutes earlier, but I'm just bad. I'm just bad. I'm just going to stay over here then. Give me the grab. Take some free damage. All right. Again, we can't be afraid of lows. I mean, we can be. I'm kicking neutral. Give me this. Flash. And then I'll take a little chip damage and then a little more. Oh God. If you crouch again, I'm going to point at the entire crowd and slam you on your back. I'm just saying that right now. Don't do it. Don't crouch. Don't crouch. Oh, you're getting away with murder. You're getting away with murder. And I think you're murdering me, by the way. Oh, thank you. Oh, take the damage, King. Oh my God. That took forever today. All right. One to one. I'm not going to hop kick here. I'm just going to armor up. Okay. Oh, nice armor. Nice armor. I'll give it up. I'll give it up. I'll give it up. I need a side step. Oh, yes. Get me the chain grab. Couldn't even speak. Part one. Part two. Oh, make it a trilogy. Oh my God. There's a fourth movie in the series. The fifth movie. Nobody saw the fifth movie. Wow. Oh my God. Oh no. They're rebooting the series. They're Reap is the first. The second was a little bit better. The trilogy was pretty nice. They really made another fourth one. I got to see the fifth. I'm a big fan of the series, after all. Ah. That was King. Hop kick round stuff. Oh. Oh. Oh my God. I'm actually sick stories in the air. Oh my God. I need a parachute. Wow. You blocked that, huh? Armor up. I'm still going to win because I hear a power bomb coming. This person is good at reacting to that. I'm not going to lie. They get that right every time. They get that right every time. I got to give them respect for it. Mix up power bomb. Nope. What are you doing on the ground?  L1 mash. I got a mash. I'm a Dragon Ball Fighters player, baby. I got roots. I got roots that go six feet deep. It's six feet a lot for roots. I'm not into botany like that. Push them off. All right, time for the legs. You're still alive. There's the, whoa, dark vortex tornado that you've never done.  That wasn't in the game before you did that. That was literally not in the game. I've never seen that move ever. Who is firing key-based attacks like that? Oh, put them into grab. Nope. Hop kick then. Oh, what are you doing? Click and moves that long. You should have punished me ages ago. Give me that. OK, I'll be over here if you need me. Armor up. We got to go into the armor. It just makes everything a little too juicy. I need to punish this. Oh, wait, I just realized this is the last round. This is the last round. I'm getting a little cooked here. Oh, god. Oh, god. I deserved it. I can't even lie. Oh, my god, that made up dark power arm, bro. I know that's not real. You did that one time. That's not even the real thing. Rematch. All right, this time I'm going to be real brazen. Oh, that was actually crazy. Oh, so you managed to slip out of it this time. All right, you didn't go low. OK, I block low still. Oh, you got it. Oh, I'm clicking too many buttons. I'm going back to my old ways. I'm going back to my old ways. They're awesome. I forgot my old way. I forgot I was that guy. My old ways are the way. All right, now if I do hop kick, front starter, are you going to punish me? I deserved it. Low? You can take all the lows you want. I'm not. Literally do all the lows. All right. This is why I just take the lows. I don't want. I'm not good at the game. I understand. I understand. I can't even be mad at you like that for real. Oh, tell me that's not a counter hit. Lary it. Oh, how does that not combo? Oh, my point. I'm calling you out. One, two, one, grab. You got a bra. You crouch. You crouch at the best times ever. Crouch! Oh, I'm calling you out next time. Did you just wait? That cost health to use?  I just saw that. Now you might be wondering, why are you looking at the health bars, Dotto? Shouldn't you be trying to focus on the mix up? True. That's probably why I'm so bad at the game. I'm going low. Oh, big mistake. Hitting a button. You know that's my job. You know you can't be hitting buttons on my turn like that. Give me a little chip damage. Give me a little more chip damage. Give me a little armor at the top of the hour. All right. Oh, I was going to do it, too. I was going to mash. But now you get to be in charge. How does it feel? Oh, my god. You're using everything in the combo? Might as well throw the kitchen sink at me. What the? OK, so this chaos arm is a pretty big deal for your character arc, huh? But I live. I thought she was going to go with a low for sure. Oh, that was supposed to be a chain grab moment in gaming history. Oh, wow. Are you still hitting me? I'm literally like six zip codes behind you. Ah, block low. Don't ever block low. Don't ever block low.  It's not worth it. Just hop kick. Just hop kick. It feels less bad, dude. The legs kick. King! King, you doomed us.  Let me get that rematch, though. I know we use all our rematches, but let me get that rematch, though. Whoa, that is a bumblebee panda.  Oh, you're just standing there. OK, I respect that. You got stubby little legs. Now you got stubby little legs. Oh, I'm going to take me some advantage of that. And that's not plus. Oh, yeah. I wish that let me combo, though. Honestly, the stage looks so small with these two behemoths. Bro, what are we doing? We've just been jabbing at each other, man. Sometimes I just don't even be playing. I can't even see my character, man. Shining wizard. I'm actually getting launched. You got little panda combos. Oh, you got a little panda combo. Oh, you are deadly.  Oh, my god. Don't hit buttons. Don't hit buttons. I learned my lesson six days ago. Hop kick round stuff. Don't ever do that. That's literally not a thing. And then the chain grab bumblebee. Bumblebee. Oh, I'm looking like nature out here the way this guy's going extinct. Actually protect the bumblebees. I'm going to take this moment as I'm chain grabbing and just let you know. You know, we got to protect the bumblebees, guys. All right. All right. Now I'm going to hit the power bomb on them. Never mind. I'm out here. Bumblebee's worst nightmare. Don't hit buttons. Don't hit buttons. Don't hit buttons, me. No, I didn't mean to do a crouching grab if that's what you think. I genuinely didn't mean that. I didn't. I genuine. If you hit one more button, I promise I'm going to throw you into the sun. Oh, I made you a promise, didn't I? I told you what was going to. You're right. I mean, you're right. I can't. I'm not going to dispute that. OK, so you got a little.   Except I'll grab that. Yeah, that was sick. I can't even see half my grab animations because this dude is in the Bumblebee suit. Bro, one of us can only click buttons at a time. And it was you did a rising launcher. Give me a grab. Thank you very much. GGs. I mean, G.R. Great round. Great round. Great round. Great round for gaming. Oh, final round. We're falling into a hole. Only in Tekken 8, baby. I'm just armoring up immediately. But I'm not going to do much with it because I got to get launched seven stories high. No. No. No. This is probably it for me. This is probably it for me. I can't even lie. And I get to grab. Oh, my God. Maybe it's not over. Maybe it's not over.  Oh, that was a close match, though. I can't even lie. That was a closer match than I would like. Serendipitous. Wow, that is a great name for a bumblebee panda. I can't even lie. I think I've said I can't even lie like 17 times. That is definitely a new tick I've developed. Hop, kick, round, start. Oh, don't let me put you in it. Don't let me put you in it. I'm trying to speak the I'm trying to speak this guy's language.  I'm going to if he ever lets me get it, if he ever lets me get a chain-grab, you're done.  You ain't the king. You're not the left. I mean, I don't even know Jaguar or the US. Oh, man, that health bar was crazy, bro. Welcome to my cinematic universe, by the way. GGs. Oh, hit him. Why was he charging? Bro caught me key charging. That's crazy. Put him into dirt. See, the thing is, after that, I know he's upset. He just had to watch a whole movie starring him and me. Oh, God, I was trying to armor up. That's all. That's all I was doing was trying to armor up. No. Whoa, whoa, what the? I thought he would go low. I'm not even going to lie. Can I get a? OK.  Oh, I was going to grab you like crazy. Oh, sit down.  Oh, you're so lucky. Accident. Slam him in the dirt. I knew you were coming. Oh, what am I going to do? I got him with the low. And now I would have probably died if we didn't trade. That's true. Muscle up.  Say bye-bye, health bar. Bye-bye. Don't let me power bomb him. Don't let me power bomb him. One, two, one, grab. Oh, I put him in the. Oh, I'm trying to get that. I'm trying to get that chain grab. Why? I don't even know. I just need one. DGs. DGs. Where is my low? Where is my low, King? I'm still happy we won, but my inputs are bad. Oh, we're getting closer. Bang for sure. Why does it feel like it's been an hour already?  Oh, no, it's Steve. Wall of muscle. That's exact. Oh, wrestlers' muscles are made of steel. I can understand, King. Hop kick, round star. Oh, blocking low. What are you afraid of? Me? You should be. Step back. I'm going for the power bomb. Somebody, he needs some milk. Oh, that was just a King round. Not all of them are going to look like that. I almost assure you that. Back step, muscle up. Oh, I think he hit me in my throat. I think he got my throat, guys. One, two, one, grab. You've got to break those. That's baby's first King move. Give me that low. Nice. OK. OK, I probably should have blocked. Oh, he went low. OK, armor up. That's fine. I'm just going to go for the combo here. Grab. Oh, that should be enough. It's not. I just got to get. She's a low, King. King. Deserved to lose. I was just mashing jab because I was scared. Now I'm getting my. I'm literally just getting beat up, bro. Oh, man. I deserved it. I lost. Once I missed that low input, I just all my hope goes out the window, dude. Where is my armor? King armor is so needed in this matchup. Parentheses, I don't know the matchup, bro. I'm literally just guessing. One, two, one, grab. Oh, so you like the crouch. Oh, you like the crouch. Oh, my jugular. I think he got my jugular again. OK, we blocked that. And then I'm going to do it myself because why not? Oh, he just does it. He just does a heat move. What does Steve not need is heat gauge at all. Does he not have any use for it? I'm going to just heat up right now. I'm just going to heat up right now into a shiny. Side step into a grab. Oh, God. Crouches. Give me some of my heat gauge back. Oh, where's my armor? Whoa. I'm sorry. Did I miss click or was that part of the grab? Hopkins. Yeah, he called me out with that one. I can't even lie. All right. I'm going to use my heat move too if I get a chance. Heck, dad. Every day of the week, baby. Power bomb. That's the mix. Welcome to the mix up. Europe. Oh, I wanted that too bad. I want. Oh, God.  Get up, king. How do I get up and take him? I don't know how to get off the ground and take him. God, I need to just. I actually need to watch a YouTube tutorial on how to get up and take him. I just do not know. Oh, why am I Jaguar stepping? I bring back my point from earlier in the video. If the game just started with any farther apart, I would be a genuine genius at taking. Thank you. Point at the crowd. This guy crouches. Let's go. OK, I'm good. Power bomb. Yes. At least when the mix up lands, I'm pretty hype. All right, go ahead. Do it. Go ahead. Do it.  All right. We'll get that round one out. I'll take it. Can we win round two, though? OK, you can go low. Oh, but oh, but I got to fight back, though. You know I got to fight back combo. This is the only combo I know off that. Get his legs. Take the trade. I'll take that trade at the end of the week. Armor up. No, you can do so much more with that combo, King. All right, usually I take the grab there, but I thought he would expect it. Oh, how is that not a counter hit, though? Get to low. King, please. I know it's my fault, but I'm blaming you.  Oh, no. I don't know if we're going to survive this. We're not. We're not. I'm going to sidestep. Maybe I should just be doing this if you want to crouch. If you want to crouch, I got to do this, King. Don't do it. Thank you, King, except it got blocked. So maybe that was never the answer. Crouch. Thank you. This guy crouches, guys. Oh, please stop the run. King, stop the run. Why did he even see that he had dropped below that health? I think I'm cooked. I think I'm genuinely cooked. I'm not cooked. Finally blocks it. It's plus. It's so plus. It's ridiculous. I just tried a jab. Yep, I deserve that. Oh, give me that combo. Oh, that combo is nice. I love that. I love that for me, boys. All right, give me the heat. Take that. Give me that. You hit me out of the heat activation. No. And the low. You know I'm not blocking that. You know I'm a fraud. He knew. He knew I'm not blocking the low, bro. I'm not trying to get down there. All right, GG's. Give me it to the next one. I told you it was going to be a hard day on Tekken. I told you it was going to be rough. One, two, one grab, though. All right, we're on a new opponent, which means all the King stuff is going to work. It means we get all the King stuff, including power button, nope. But we get the one, two, one grab. And honestly, that's all you need. Boom, put them in the dirt. Boom, power grab into the dirt. Oh, what? One, two, one grab again? Oh, little old me doing the same trick three times. I'm not mixing it up at all. I got to see some. I got to see you go up against it real quick. Hold on, can I sidestep? Oh, chain grab. One more time. Can you break it? I'm going to do another one. Is that OK? How about four? Is four grabs fine? Thank you. I'll throw you out of here, though. OK, stop him. One, two, one grab. Oh, another one. OK. Oh, that is a dangerous low for me. Don't, King. Oh, it's OK. OK, I'm a fraud, too. I know. I know I'm a fraud. I know I'm a fraud. You didn't have to do me like that. Oh, but round start hop kick. Round start hop kick. It's a dangerous tool. Give me that. Oh, OK. I'll sit over here. Give me that. Oh, the same trick. I'll use that same trick every day of the week. I'll do it again. I'll do it again. I don't care. I'll do it every day, dude. I'll do it every day. I'm going to hop kick. I'm going to do it every day. Hop kicks 1,500 times a day. And then another one, two, one grab. Thank you very much. OK, I should have hop kicked. No, where's my hop kick? No, the hop kick part is the most important meal of the day. I'm just going to hop kick. Let's be honest. I'm hop kicking. That's all I'm doing. That's all I'm ever going to do. That's all I want to do. Round one, hop kick, round one. And I'm going to keep doing it. But are you aware? But are you aware? OK, I won't hop kick no more. But are you aware of hop kicks? OK. Maybe it's a little one no. Yes, are you going to block? No?  Fine. And I got to teach you the old fashioned way.  I'm going to keep doing it. I'll just block that. Now am I going to block the low part of it? Probably not shining wizard. Now you got to take this. No. No. Repulse him with your palms, King. Hop kick, here we go. You're doing it again. I didn't even get the combo. Chain grab then. Fine. Maybe you'll learn with the chain grab then. Oh, you broke it. Wait, wait, I'm sorry. That was just something that happens because of my chain hop kicked. Got him again, shining wizard. Get me to the next round. I need one more round to put it away. Do I go with the side step? Hell no, I go with the hop kick. Oh, and I dropped the combo. Hop kick, here we go. Hop kick, here we go. I'll sit over here. OK. I can tell you're serious. Oh, nice. I'll give it up. I whiffed. That was a pretty huge whiff. I don't want to lose this. I don't want to lose this. I'll be honest. What are you doing, King? Put him in the grab. What are we doing, though, King? Oh, big counter hit, King. Big counter hit. That should be game. That should be game. Boom. All right, all to the next one, GGs. Let's do, well, how's one more set sound? Oh, no. It's my actual kryptonite, dude. For those of you that don't know why, I recently learned that combos that come off of lows have mostly been restricted to just counter hits in this game, except for Devil Jin, who still has his Hell Sweep. And boy, is it just the anti, there it is. This is the exact combo I'm talking about. Get a good look at this, because when you see him do that combo, it means he has used his kryptonite powers against me. I don't know when to do. I'm so afraid. The low is so crazy. None of this is the low, by the way. He's crouching. You crouch. You're good at the game.  No, that wasn't actually it. Give me the grab. No, OK. I'll just go heat then. Oh, we get a combo. He just kind of got hit. He just kind of got hit. We'll take it. Oh, let's go. That's just his raw. I was doing that for the mix, but we'll take the damage. Oh, no. There's the low. Here's the low. A low that's that quick, at least to that much damage, bros. Shining Wizz, oh, we get launched instead. Oh, how do you have the range? What, do you want to grab? Yes, we have a chance. It'll probably block low, so I'm just going to spam mids. I'm just going to spam mids, bro. I'm not doing anything else. I'm spamming mids. All right, I'm going to do that for our starter this run. Oh, god. There's the low.  I can't save myself. But maybe any aspiring young Tekken players can see that this is why you have to be afraid of Devil Jin. You have to learn to react. It's too late for me. Oh, come on. Oh, come on. Shining wizard. He just blocks low. He knows how to get up. I'll take a round. If I can get one, if I can get around, I'm going to take it. We're up to one. Can we finish the fight? Ah, we don't get that grab. Oh, the low combo. He saw me muscling up. He knew I wanted to use that. I understand. Hop kick. That's not going to combo. OK, we can't get much. Ah, there's the low combo. Look at it. Look at it. Look at it. Oh, but just as we were about to die, just as we were about to die, a chance, a single chance. Shining wizard.  I'm going to go for the combo here. Grab. It's over. We're taking at least one game. We'll take it. Dash and grab. I knew it was a risk. I knew it was going to cost a pretty penny. But I had to take that chance. And we might just be in a promotion round. If we can end this video on a promotion of Anquisher, that would almost be too hype to imagine. Can it be done against my Kryptonite Devil Jin? Oh, god. Oh, there's the low combo. There it is. There's just a normal low. Now he's going for mid. I'm dead. Oh, I'm dead. I'm not dead yet. Get off me. Oh, let's go. That almost just killed us. No, how do you trade like that, Devil Jin? Oh, I'm actually crazy. I think I'm actually insane. One, two, one, grab. He crashes it. How do we not have time to hop kick? Did we just get drilled by that heat attack? We did. Oh, he didn't go low like I thought. We're going to have to try to hit it through your round and come back. Oh, there's the low combo, bro. He drops it. Please hit him. Oh, that is too cheap. Thankfully, he's actually dropping it, so we're not having to pay for it like I normally would, at least. All right, block that every day. Oh, we get a combo starter. We get a chance. This is going to put him in rage. So play safe, play safe. Nah, I don't think so. Power bomb. I don't ever play safe. Audible mix up. Audible mix up.  Side step in. Come here, grab. And it's a counter hit. He couldn't break that one, but he'll have a chance on the next. And he'll have a chance on the next. But will he break the next? He didn't break any of them. We're going to toss him away. Oh, wow, he actually hit us out of that. Oh my god, I got to step in. Step in on Devil Jin. Step in. Grab? We actually landed a grab. Pretty huge. Let me get a sweep. I don't get the sweep button. Get off me. Low? I knew you were going to go low. Devil Jin, I knew you were going to go low. Two. Why am I jumping? Oh, I got counter hit. I got counter hit. I'm going over the edge. He spared me.  You should never spare. King, you should never spare me. King, please do the low for the love of God. Oh, no, the heat attack hits. It's going to be close. I don't think it's going to be a promo now, unfortunately. But we still have to win. We still have to win. I can't afford to lose more points. Oh, it's not a promo game. But a set like that is where I really needed to clutch up and win. Wow, how do I get hit like that? How do I get hit like that? The game's even. I can't step in. There's a wall. I can't step in. I can't step in. He's going to go low. Get off me. Low? No. Please. All right, down around. That's not the worst place we've ever been, though. Side step grab. Thank you very much. We're going to get some cheap damage off here unless he breaks it in the chain grab. We'll see if he can do it. He doesn't seem to have the buttons. All right, we just get a lot of damage, maybe up against the wall. Oh, counter that. Oh, mid launcher, and he caught me crouching. Mid launcher, and he caught me crouching. What was he just letting me know? Oh, I should have hop kicked on that one. Damn. And now I have to make another three-run comeback. I've just got armor up. 1, 2, 1, grab. OK, we'll take the heat attack. OK, take the legs. Give me that.   How are you not dead? Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Oh, what am I doing?   He dropped it. Oh, no sidestep? Sidestep grab. My cheapest tool. It's one of my favorites to use. I got to be honest. Can he break any of these grabs? Nope, he's just watching the cutscene then. Enjoy the cutscene. No QTEs. Oh, wow. What? Oh, big mistake. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. We're just teasing him now, boys. We're teasing him now. Final round of the whole video. Sidestep? We don't have to grab. We got to watch the sweep. I even said watch the sweep. He wouldn't do it twice. Thank you, grab. Thank you very much. Put him up against the wall. Make him sweat a little bit. Make him sweat. Make him block some mids. Nope. I knew you were going to come in with that sweep. But I just don't know how to get up.  You think I'm just going to sit down, give up? Why let you jump all over me? No, bro. You're going to have to earn this victory. I don't care. Even if I am down by a million health points, even if this did no damage, I'm going to make you earn this every step of the way. I'm going to make you earn it every step. No. I control the pace. Me. Oh, god. I had that game too if I just got the sweep. And GGs. Hopefully you enjoyed this tech video. If you did, like, subscribe, and click on the other ones. Bye.


With her right hand pressed against cold steel, Dr. Kowalski guided herself through darkness. Steps forward were apprehensive shuffles. She had a sleep mask over her eyes, but she found herself wishing she had brought a gas mask as well. No one ever told her what this thing smelled like, but no one who got this close to it lived to tell. Once, when Danielle Kowalski was a young child, she was afraid to go in the ocean. Her mother had warned her about stingrays, and the fear of stepping on one had put her awesoming for more than a few years.  He taught her how to shuffle her feet. Then, the stingrays will know you're coming, and they'll just swim away. Dr. Kowalski wondered if her father would have regretted teaching her how to be brave if he had ever known the career path that bravery had opened up for her.  She could hear it now, its labored breath that seemed a mix of a whimper and a death rattle. She hoped to not touch it. Another step forward, either Dr. Kowalski was close enough to feel the heat of its breath or the tension was setting her blood on fire. The instant camera in her left hand was unwieldy. She hoped to not drop it because she would dare not try to pick it back up. But no flash. If she could see the flash, then she would be in real danger. This kind of stingray doesn't swim away. The process was painfully slow. Step forward, step back. Turn the camera up, turn it down. One by one, she placed each photographic spat out into her pocket. If she could have pulled off her blinder to check the time, she would have known that 48 minutes had passed between her entering the containment chamber and expending the last of her film. Statistically, at least one photograph would do the job, but Dr. Kowalski had no safe way to verify that. Kowalski's colleagues would have thought her insane if they knew what she was doing. Fortunately, their time was occupied. On this day, this particular site was receiving its first official visit from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. After North Korea, after what they had died in Tokyo had exposed, after the foundation fell under the spotlight of every journalist on the planet, the world was surely about to change. Everyone, Kowalski thought, needs something for protection now. With no hope of ever having something so useful as Dr. Bright's amulet, the photograph she had taken would have to suffice. 15 months later, you've wasted an hour of my time already, Dr. Kowalski. In your formal line of work, I'm sure you know what the next part of an interrogation consists of. So I would think it to be in your best interest if you would stop feigning ignorance and tell me where the SCP-610 specimens were stored. You were the senior researcher on that project, you know? The uninvited man who spoke these words inside Dr. Kowalski's apartment had burnt through three cigarettes since the interrogation had begun. Yes, her life was in danger, but she couldn't help feel most upset about the fact that the smell of his smokes was going to sink right into her furniture and carpet. Her eyes had been turned downward through most of this. It wasn't that she couldn't look at a man in his eyes and lie. She was quite effective at doing that well. She didn't think he was worthy of it. This man, who introduced himself as Agent O'Brien, liked to smile. He carried the demeanor of a battle-hardened general and looked apart. Short gray hair, a square jaw, and a tall build. His patience for the former Foundation researcher was waning too, though the two mass lackeys he brought along kept as still statues, waiting and watching. Let me ask you, Agent O'Brien. Kowalski began, gay still affixed on the floor. Have you been so busy trying to find me that you haven't even kept up with the news? Does the Berlin Accords against weaponized anomalies ring a bell for you, a**hole?  O'Brien stared past her glasses, past her icy blue eyes. He stared straight through her. Hold her arm. He commanded one of his underlings. The masked man moved forward and grabbed Kowalski's wrist. O'Brien seized the middle finger of a right hand at the base and drove the thinnest knife he had under her polished fingernail. Kowalski flailed a bit, trying not to scream. But she did, and her heart raced as she knew this would get much, much worse. The Kremlin hasn't ratified it yet. So I don't think the Senate will be too keen in doing that either, O'Brien said, with a bit of a chuckle. The researcher's blood trickled out onto his black leather glove. He wiped it off on her cheek. Let me be clear. The Russians have everything they need to f**k with that skin disease. All around leg biker. You don't think it's reasonable for the United States government to want to understand what could be used against us? Hell, I don't care what you think we're going to do with it. I want those specimens. When Kowalski had finally caught her breath and stifled her urge to scream out in pain again, she pointed to her bedroom with her unharmed hand and said, bottom left door, manila envelope. Something I kept with me since leaving the foundation. I'm sure you'll find it interesting. Go check. O'Brien commanded his man, who in less than a minute had noisily ransacked the room and returned with a manila envelope just as the researcher promised. O'Brien grabbed the envelope for a look inside. A satisfaction faded quickly.  He asked as he began littering the floor with photographs.  O'Brien paused before discarding one, just long enough to have a good long look before stating, I don't think this ugly mother f**ker with a f**ked up jaw has anything to do with what I asked you for. Angry, he put out his latest cigarette on Kowalski's neck. She gasped as the agonizing burn momentarily left her breathless. Let me tell you a story, said O'Brien. Because I think your foundation sure thought they were powerful hiding in the shadows, but I'd like to explain to you why you're wrong. He pulled up a chair from her kitchen table and sat down across from her. Kowalski wouldn't do whatever tale this prick wanted to spew. She only needed to wait now. When I was up and coming, I was a DEA agent in Columbia in the late 80s, part of the team hunting down Pablo Escobar. I had a narco in custody, and this little speck was every bit as uncorporative as you are now. He kept repeating, do you know who you're f**king with? He thought his cartel was hot s**t. He insisted they owned all the law enforcement in Columbia that they were the ones who run the Medellin. So I asked him, if you run the city, why do you bury your money? Why do you have to smuggle your coke? Surely, I said, if you're in charge, you'd pedal your coke out in the open. He wouldn't tuck your guns. I pulled out mine and shot him in his kneecap. That's power. I don't hide my gun. It's right here for you to see. I said, has he bled all over the police station floor? Your foundation hid in the shadows, doctor, but let me make it abundantly clear for you. The power was always ours. Your anomalies belong to us. Your research belongs to us. Your life belongs to us.   Sir, one of the brines, like he said, I think there's something outside. Kowalski shut her eyes as soon as she saw a long arm with corpse-like skin phased through the wall as if it weren't even there. The gunshots rang out in quick succession. The smell of gunpowder filled her nostrils as her ears rang and she stared into darkness. She heard screams. She heard bones snapping. She even heard a sickening, slurping sound. She wouldn't want to see the source of, even if it wouldn't kill her. After a few minutes of pandemonium, agony, it was quiet again. Save for the same awful breathing she remembered.  She felt her way to the front door. So much blood had soaked her carpet. Every step she took made a sloshing sound. The smell of what just occurred would never come out either. Run along now, 096, Kowalski told her savior. There are worse monsters in this world than you. End of file.
