From beginning to end, from crime to punishment, Dragnet is the story of your police force in action. It was Tuesday, August 18th. It was warm in Los Angeles. We were working the day watch out of burglary detail. My partner's Frank Smith. The boss is Thad Brown, Chief of Detectives. My name's Friday. It was 1.34 p.m. and we got to the second floor of the central jail building. The crime lab. We couldn't sleep last night if they and I had another beef. Oh, what about this time? Cards, you know. Can I ask them? Yeah. Folks next door came over after dinner and we got to playing. They play real good. That wasn't long before we were really getting schlocked. What? You know, schlocked. Beaten. Oh, terrible. Last hand they go down right away, Joe. It seemed like everything I threw them, they could use. Picked up everything. And I couldn't do anything right. Just kept building up melds they did. Big thing for us was to get out as quick as we could. You know, get the hand over with? Yeah. If they wasn't doing any good, finally, I still don't know how they let it happen. I got enough points to go down, so I asked Faye if it's okay. You have to do that. You know, ask your partner's permission to get the hand over. You know that? Well, I've played it a couple of times. Yeah, with you. Oh, that's right. Well, you might not believe it, but you know what she said? No. You sat there and said she didn't think it was time. Is that right? Yeah. I know it's kind of picky, but there they were. The other kids just piling up points, schlocking us all over the place. Schlocking. Yeah. Handing around a couple more times. Each time I asked Faye if she wants to get out. Each time you know what she says? No. That's it. No. Well, what finally happened? Oh, the other folks ran out of cards. Wasn't any more play, so they got out. 3600 points. And I found out why Faye didn't want to quit. Why? Had a deuce. What? A deuce. A two, you know? Yeah. She said she didn't want to get caught with it. Yeah, well, we better get started, huh? Wait a minute. That's not the worst of it. Let me tell you. All right. All night we're playing, see? All night, I'm saving cards. You know, I'm like tens. Like to get tens. I save tens. Yeah. I guess everybody saves tens. Well, I save more than other guys. We get all through, and you know what? We find out there are only seven tens in the deck. One of them's missing. All night. There's seven tens. Well, that's dreadful. Well, I tell you.   Couldn't sleep a wink. Righty? Yeah, right. Back here. Girls out to lunch. I'm on back. Hi. How's it going, Ray? Moving around's about all. Hot out, huh? Yeah. Paper says it's going to go over 90 today. Too hot for me. Yeah. Well, how are you coming on the job this morning? Just finishing up. Looks like the rest of them. Yeah. Got some pictures here. Take a look. Here's pictures of the marks that left on the door this morning. Mm-hmm. See those two long scratches on the wood? Yeah. Here? Yeah. Now, over here. Here's a picture from the Argosy Manufacturing Company's door. Mm-hmm. See? Yeah. Same two marks. Pretty safe bed. Pretty safe bed to figure that both doors are open to the same pry bar. Yeah. Same type of vent that's made this time, huh? Yeah. Just the one mark on the door. You know what they're doing? Insert the bar, hit it once, and the door opens. Mm-hmm. How about the safe? What do you got on that, Ray? Here. This is the picture we got of the room. Same as the others. Standard rip job. Nothing different there. How about marks? No. No help there. Here's the pictures. Looks like the same tool was used on the other jobs. Did you find anything else, Ray? No. At least nothing that helps. Layton Prince picked up a couple from the safe along with the manager of the place. Nothing else to give us anything. Well, I'd say that was the same bunch. Yeah, either that or they're lending their tools to the boys in the neighborhood. Yeah, well, that is unlikely. Cigarette, Ray? Yeah, thanks. Ray? There's the light. Ray? Thanks. We're leaning on you guys for this one, huh? Yeah, Skipper's taking a lot of heat. What's this make for him? 34 or 35? 35. Six months. Any nearer, Tom? No, not much. Got anything to tell how many men there are? It'll be hard to say for sure. The way they work figures about three or four, maybe. Yeah, that's the way it looks. Take that number to pull out the operation as smooth as they're doing it, though, Ray. You got anything at all to work on? Well, we checked around town. There aren't any rumbles. One of the tightest gangs that we've seen in a long time doesn't seem like anybody outside knows what's going on. We checked the places around. Nobody's spending a lot of money they can't account for. How much they take so far? Well, what they got this morning, let's see, it comes to a little under $36,000 in the bank. Yeah. What about you, Ray? You turn up anything we can use? Nothing that points any place. We know how they got in, how they hit the safe. That isn't going to help much. Same ammo as the others. You haven't got any idea who they are, huh? No, nothing. You haven't got any idea who they are? We could maybe use the Anthrosine on their tools. That's great. We've got to find the tools before we use that. We've got no idea where they plan them. It seems that one of your informants would be able to come up with something on it. Yeah, you'd think so. We've checked them all, Ray. No leads to the gang. Doesn't seem there's anybody in town that knows who they are. Anybody new operating around? No, we checked that out, too. We had the stats office make so many runs that they're wearing out the cards. M.O. isn't new. It's been used before, but all the possibles have been checked out. Stuff from Barrick and up at C.I.I., the other lead from the APBs, they've all been cleared. Now, we got just what we started with the gang working when they want to, where they want to, and there's nothing we can do about it. Well, there's just more I could do to help out. I've got to get back to work. I've got some precipitant tests Homicide wants us there for noon. Yeah, well, we'll see you later, Ray. Right. You want this stuff booked? Yeah. We'll take care of it. Okay. Excuse me a minute. Yeah. Crime lab, Pinker. Yeah. Yeah, they're both here. Which one? Yeah, hold on. Joe. Yeah. New office. Thanks. Friday. Oh, yeah, Chandler. Uh-huh. Wendy Call. Yeah, well, what's that number? Four? Four? Right. Yeah, I'll call them right away. Right. Bye. Chandler, huh? Yeah. Don Jackson called, said he wanted to get in touch with us. Jackson? Uh-huh. I don't know. Remember? It looked like the guy who was in on the service station jobs. Oh, yeah. I remember. That was a wax mustache, huh? Uh-huh. Hello. Don Jackson? Well, could I speak to him, please? Don? This is Joe Friday. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah, well, it's 1.47 now. It'll take us about 10 minutes. How about two? All right. Fine. Yeah, we know where it is. Right. We'll see you there. All right? All right. What's he want? He wants to see us about the rip jobs. Yeah. Don Jackson had been a suspect in a series of service station burglaries we'd investigated. He'd been picked up and interrogated, but investigation showed that he couldn't have been involved in the thefts. Since he'd been released, we'd heard nothing from him. And as far as we know, he'd gone back to his job in a downtown clothing store. From what he told me on the phone, he had some information about the current series of safe burglaries. 1.48 p.m. Frank and I left the crime lab and drove over to the store where Jackson worked. He managed to get relieved, and he took us to a small coffee shop near the store. We sat down and ordered some coffee, and Jackson told us what he knew about the burglaries. Yeah, thanks. Now, I could be wrong about this. I don't think so. But outside it could be. Donny, you got any one reason for figuring that this Scott fell his tight in with the jobs?   Yet he's always loaded, always got a role. It's real, too. Not like them you see sometimes with a big bill on the outside and ones in the middle. Now, this guy's loaded, you know? Yeah. Where'd you meet him? Well, I was sitting in a bar down the street one night having a belt before dinner. We got to talking, ended up beating together that night. You remember when this was done when you first met him? Well, let me see. Yeah, it was the day I got the trench coat from England. Now, let me see. That make it about August 4th. Yeah. Yeah, it was the night I got the coat. Come to think of it, that's how it got us to talking, the coat. Well, I don't understand. Well, you see, I got this year coat. I had to send it over from England. It's a real beauty. All kinds of linens and windstraps in the sleeves. It's great, you know? Uh-huh. Well, I haven't sent this coat to the store. It got down to 4th. I had it with me that night. Now, Scotty noticed it, and we got to talking about clothes. Went to dinner. He asked me how much the coat cost. I told him to run about 40, maybe 50 bucks. He asked me if I could get one for him, and I told him, sure. It'd take a couple of weeks. Uh-huh. Well, he asked me to send a letter to my friend and ask him to send the coat over by Express. I told him I would. And then he asked me if I wanted to pay me then. I told him, no, wait till I knew just how much the coat was going to run. You know, duty and postage and all that. Yeah, I know. Well, he said that'd be okay with him. I saw him a couple of times after that, and every time he'd ask about the coat, I told him that was in the works, you know. Well, finally got the coat. It was beautiful. Never saw the guy again. I'm out 46 bucks. I promise, Scotty, leave me with that coat. My own money, too, 46 bucks. I don't make enough to lose that kind of money, you know. Well, that's too bad, Jackson. But why do you figure this got anything to do with the burglaries? Well, now I just told you, for one thing, the money. Always had a lot, but it never had a job. No place to get the money. Not only that, but one night, well, I saw him, we were going out to dinner. And he said he couldn't quite make it then. That something had come up. That he had to take a rain check, you know. Uh-huh. Well, I asked him what had come up, what was so important. He said he had to see a guy over in East L.A., and make some sort of business deal. You say what this deal was about? No, I wouldn't say. The next day he shows up loaded, got a roll on him, choked a horse. Now I asked him where to get it. I kid him about being one of the guys who ripped the safe in the Augusti plant. What'd he say to that? Nothing, just got real serious, you know. Asked me why I asked him that. Well, I made me think he was in on the job. I kept telling him I didn't know anything about it. I was just kidding. He finally bought it and said it was okay. But he said I shouldn't go around saying things like that. All right, go ahead. Well, I got the coat and looked Scotty up to give it to him. Wouldn't pay for it. They lost the coat thing up or something. I don't know, sent the wrong size and I'm stuck with it. He wouldn't have anything to do with it. I figure since I ordered it for him it ain't my fault that it's big. He should pay for it, you know, 46 bucks. Now, any way you look at it, I laid out the dough. I figure he should make good on it. He wouldn't do it. And I got sore and I figured maybe you'd like to know how he acted about the Augusti job. Now I said, bum, 46 bucks, that coat cost. You know where the Scott lives? I don't know. I haven't got the slightest idea. But I got his phone number though. I'll give you that. Can he give us the description on him? Sure. He's sneaky little guy. No wonder the coat won't fit. Little bitty guy, you know. Yeah. Now you say his full name is Leonard Skanzer, right? Yeah, crummy bum. I hope you get him. Well, we'll talk to him, Don. If he knows something about it, I'll bet money on it. He knows.  What's that? No, I don't suppose you could. What is it, Don? You know anybody could use a size 52 trench coat? We continued to talk to Don Jackson. We got the description of Leonard Scott and his phone number. 3.15 p.m. We drove back to the city hall and checked the name through R&I. We came up with several possibles. The mug shots were pulled on them, and they were shown to Jackson. He was able to identify one of them, as the man he told us about. The suspect had a record for burglary and had served two terms in the state penitentiary at San Quentin. He'd served his full term and was not on parole. We checked the last address on his convict registration card, and we found that he lived in a rooming house on West 11th Street. The phone number he'd given Jackson was the same as the one on the registration card. We drove over to talk to him. We found that he wasn't in his room, and from the landlady, we learned that he was expected back around 7 that evening. We checked his room and company with the landlady, and then we called the office and told them where we were in the event they had to contact us. We waited in the living room of the house for the suspect to return. 7.15 p.m. Yeah. He matches the description, doesn't he? Come on in. Just a minute. You'll enter, Scott? Yeah. Who are you? Police officers like talking. What's this all about? It'd be better if we went up to your room. Oh. All right. Come on up. Can't you give me some idea what this all about? We'll talk to you about it. Go ahead. Open the door. Go ahead. Yeah. Okay. What's a pitch? You've been through it before.  You know the pitch. You tell us what you do for 11? I work. Doing what? What do you sell? Different things. What's all this prove?  I'm going straight. I work for a living. Either tell me what this is all about or get out of here. You remember what you were doing on August 4th? It's a long time ago. Remember what you were doing. You have to think about it. It's a long time ago. All right. You take your time. We'd like to know. August 4th, huh? Yeah. Oh, sorry, fellas. Can't remember a thing. How about the 5th? Same there? 6th. Nothing? How about the 7th, August? I can give you a hand there. I had a dinner with a friend. Then we went to a show. I had a few drinks after, and then I came home. Who's the friend? Phil, I know. What's his name? Why I got to tell you that? We got to check your alibi. What do I need an alibi for? I haven't done anything. My time's clean. I got nothing to explain to you. Then maybe you can clear up a few things for us. I would like to help the cops out. What do you want to know? How come you remember what you were doing on August 7th? You got trouble with time before then, haven't you? What's so important with the dates? Maybe if you tell me what you're after, I can help you out. You quit being cagey. I'll come up with the answers. The Argosy Manufacturing Plant had their safe ripped open on that night. You look good for the job. Oh, you're out of your mind.  You've fallen twice before for burglary. You can't account for your time before or after the day, but you happen to have an alibi for the night of the heist. You've got no steady job, but you've got plenty of money. Now come off it, Scott. We got you nailed for the job and you know it. You've got a choice of giving us a hand on this thing.  Looks like it won't be too tough. You're in the middle, Scott. Why don't you cop out? What do I get for turning things? I told you it'd be marked down, that way. How about it, Scott? All right, I guess I've got to go with you. I wasn't in on the jobs. I didn't really have anything to do with the casing. I helped a little bit, not much, just a little. Where'd you figure in it? Once I worked as a look-out for him. Who are they? I can give you the names. I'd like to see you get them, lousy bunch. Hope you get them good and make every one of them lousy mums the way they'd treated me. What do you mean by that? Big deal. Had the cops run around in circles. Big deal. Nothing. Work along with them. Everything would be fine. Big deal. How many of them are there? Four. Four real bums. They said they were going to take care of me. They told me I'd get my share of the money. Lousy liars. One job I was with them. After that, they told me I hadn't done enough to earn my way, that I wasn't any help to anybody. The next time you see them, you can tell them. Yeah? They were wrong. We got the names of the four men on the four suspects. He gave us a positive identification on them. We checked with Captain Wisdom and it was decided to wait until we could catch the suspects in the actual attempt to commit a burglary. We checked out the address of the four suspects and got as much information as we could on them without letting them know that they were under surveillance. Additional teams of men were assigned to the stakeout. Each of them was watched 24 hours a day and each of the teams of detectives were in constant contact with the burglary division. Two days passed. None of the suspects made any attempt to make contact with the burglars. We met with the district attorney and it was decided that in the interest of bringing the gang to justice, the first suspect, Leonard Scott, should be released from custody to act as an informant for us. He would be kept under constant surveillance. Frank and I were assigned to follow him. In the next three days, he went about his business as usual. Each evening he'd leave his rooming house and walk through the bars in the downtown area. He told us that contact and information regarding the burglaries was made by the leader of the gang, one of the suspects named Howard Ramsey. On the 24th of August, we saw Ramsey approach Leonard Scott. They talked briefly in the rear of a bar on 6th Street and then Ramsey left. We waited for about 15 minutes and then we saw Scott leave the bar. We followed him down the street to an all night coffee stand. We sat out next to him at the counter and at the first opportunity he told us what Ramsey had said. You guys haven't got long to wait. What do you say? The deal's set. It's going to be a machine shop out in West LA. Rumble is the safe has over 25 grand in it. Biggest job they've tackled. You say how it's going to work tonight. You are listening to dragnet, the authentic story of your police force in action. Don't you want to try a cigarette with a record like this? Chesterfield, first to give you premium quality in both regular and king-size. Chesterfield, first choice of young America from a survey of 274 leading colleges and universities. Chesterfield, first to give you this report. A doctor has been making thorough examinations of a group of Chesterfield smokers every two months for a full year. And it reports no adverse effects to the nose, throat and sinuses from smoking Chesterfield. Try Chesterfield. Regular or king-size. Chesterfield is America's best cigarette buy. 9.32 p.m. we got the rest of the story from Leonard Scott. The plan as he outlined it for us was that we were at the plant that was to be burglarized. We got in touch with the men who were following the suspects and told them what had happened. 10.07 p.m. we met with Captain Wisdom and put the operating plan into effect. It had been arranged that all of the men following the suspects would be in three-way radio cars so that constant communication could be kept between the units of the operation. Additional officers were there. In this way we could direct operations and we'd have a complete picture of what was happening in the immediate vicinity. A blockade system was set up to be put into operation once the suspects had entered the trap so that escape would be impossible. 11.45 p.m. the plan was completed and the men involved were in their assigned positions. We followed Leonard Scott to his Wilshire Boulevard toward West L.A. As we drove we could hear the other units reporting the position of the men that they were following. All of the suspects left their homes at approximately the same time and it looked as if they would get to the plant within a couple of minutes of the scheduled time. Scott had told us that they would not meet at the plant but they'd rendezvous to drive in a couple of blocks from the plant. The other units got into their positions as arranged. Frank and I took up our position and we listened to the reports coming in over the radio. Unit 1KY80 to Rubles. Go ahead. They crossed the street from the factory, Joe. I can see the suspects now. How many of them are there? There's a couple more at the corner of his lookouts. Hey, Donovan's down in the block. Maybe he can see the others. Unit 1KY80 to Donovan. Come in, please. He's changing a tire. Got the jack under the car but he's not trying to get the wheel off. The others are at the factory door now. Do you see anything where you are, Joe? Not much. Shadows across the street. I can't see the doorway. What are they doing now? They're inside now. They forced the lock on the door and got inside. Door's closed. Now I can't see them anymore, Joe. All units, this is Friday in Unit 1KY80. All units move to blockade positions. Unit 2R4, 5, 6 and 7 and Unit 2R20 move to blockade positions. All right, let's go. Right. They've got the place covered in back, okay? Yeah, all covered. All right. Let's ought to do it, huh? Right. All right, let's go. There, I see. Let's take it easy. There's a light back there. It looks like the office. Wait a minute. All of them are in the office now. You want to move in from that side? Right. Get on it. We haven't got all night. That safe feels like a sardine can. There's no reason to take this long. We were doing the best we can. We got the 10-0 fireworks giving us trouble. Yeah, let me take a look. All right, hold it right where you are. Cops, let's get out of here. Watch them, Joe. I'll get them. Right. Come on, Ramsey.   Right, give up. Right, give up. Come on, cops. Come on and get it. He ain't talking for me. I've had it. I don't want any more shoots. I'll give up. I'll throw your guns out here. His mind. All right. Stand right there and don't move. I gave up, didn't I? I didn't want any more of it. Come on, Ramsey. Your partner was smart. Why don't you play it that way, too? You come and get me, cops. Come out of shells. Don't shoot. Throw that gun.  Come on, move. Nice to walk. Stand still. Don't move. All right. They're clean, Joe. All right. There were three of them. Where's the other one? They made a break for the front door. They got them out there. Lousy luck all the way around. How'd you know? Who told you? That doesn't make any difference. Well, somebody had to tell you. You'd never have found out if somebody had told you. Yeah, that's right. Come on, let's go now. Well, who told you? Who turned things? Somebody had to tell you, didn't they? Don't you worry about it, mister? What do you mean? You're going to have a tough day this year. Good day, sir. Thank you. Don't be too reckless. I'm sure you're going to find your way in. I'm sure you're going to find your way in. But, in January 14th, trial was held in Department 89, Superior Court of the State of California, in and for the county of Los Angeles. In a moment, the results of that trial. Now, here is our star. Jack Webb. Thank you, George Fennerman.  I'm convinced that if you try just one carton, you'll find that they're best for you. They're milder Try them. John Ramsey, Jack Irwin, MacArthur, and the other two suspects were tried and convicted of 15 counts of burglary in the first degree. They received sentences as prescribed by law. Burglary in the first degree is punishable by imprisonment in the state penitentiary for a period of not less than five years. Because of his cooperation, Leonard James Scott was given a lighter sentence, and at the conclusion of his prison term was placed on probation for a period of two years.

Hi everyone, really really great to be here in what's for sure my favorite innovation and startup event. So I'm Luish, I'm CEO of ILOF and ILOF is a deep tech health tech company working on the personalized medicine space. We are collecting and ingesting masses amounts of multimodal data to help severely cut the time and the cost of developing personalized therapeutics. So we're an under 30 person team based in the UK, in London and in Oxford, with an amazing tech and engineering center in the north of Portugal and we have a very clear vision of accelerating the new era of personalized medicine. And why is it important to focus on tools that can actually bring to light a new future for personalized medicine? Well, the reality is that for the past centuries new treatments have been basically developed on this idea that the same medication will work equally for everyone. But unfortunately, this is really not the case and you can take Alzheimer's as an example. Just in the last 18 years, there's been more than 400 clinical trials that failed. With only recently one treatment approved and still with some controversy and not geographically global. And this creates huge barriers for patients that are in badly need of these treatments, especially on the Alzheimer's field. And the reason why that happens is that heterogeneous diseases such as Alzheimer's are incredibly hard to crack. There's poor biological knowledge in most of them. There was a clear failure of this one-feet-solid drug approach, so the same medication will not work equally for all the patients. And you're going to be needing tools that can take the general patient population and can divide it into the different subparts. And the truth is that pharmaceutical companies and biotechs have been trying to take this into account. So they've been trying to take and to run clinical trials that take the patient heterogeneity and the patient individual differences into account. But in reality, they face massive challenges. So what you're seeing here, it's a lumbar puncture on the left side. And this is still one of the techniques that is used to screen patients for clinical trials. It involves sticking a needle this big into the patient's back. Other tools that I used are million-dollar machines that unfortunately don't scale and are only accessible in a couple of parts per country. And all of these basically creates huge barriers to scaling, creating very expensive clinical trials, but more important, a very uncomfortable experience for patients that leaves 90% of them to drop out of these clinical trials studies. So when we started out in 2019, we spoke with a hundred global stakeholders, experts, pharma CEOs, and this was a phrase that we took note and that has been driving and guiding our development and that has been the heart and soul of our mission at ILOF. What ILOF is doing is building a cloud-based library of disease biomarkers and biological profiles that can absolutely transform the way we select patients for this clinical study. And the way it does so is by ingesting multimodal data, so not only data that is already in your electronic health records and hospitals, or that can be easily accessible, but also data from optical sensors that can be easily collected from bodily, easily accessible bodily fluids. No more needle in the patient's back, no more invasive, expensive procedure. So basically what we're doing is we're integrating masses amounts of optical and clinical data to create rapid phenotyping and prediction tools. And even though this can be absolutely applied to the clinics, we're laser focused on solving the problem of the industry and helping large and small pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies get their living medications into the market faster. And this is one of the case studies. So this is an Oxford-based biotech developing a very promising treatment for Alzheimer's disease in which we've helped cut around 40% of their cost and 70% of their time, all across allowing for a much more convenient and humane patient experience. We started out in 2019 and we've already made quite a significant impact and the reason we did so is that we're able to bring in into the bio world a subscription foot-on-the-door model where most of the revenue through this screening service is created when value and savings are enabled to our customer. This creates a win-win approach that is unbeatable in the market. Our vision is really to become the go-to platform to accelerate personalized treatments for complex diseases, not just in neuro-generative, but also in new areas such as ovarian cancer, such as mild cognitive impairment and infectious diseases. And we're only 1% done. We have raised around 10 million from global venture capital firms, including Microsoft Ventures, Lunar Ventures, Remind, Quiet Capital and others, and we're currently engaged with more than 20 clinical institutions in the world, including two global pharmaceutical businesses. This is the team that makes it happen every day, comprised by a mix of scientists, entrepreneurs and inventors, a mix of biologists, physicists and computer science, brought together by a strong passion to bring the new era of personalized medicine and allow life-saving treatments to get into the patient's hands faster. So, unfortunately, I'm sure a lot of you have already been affected by this Alzheimer's epidemic and if you have, I ask you all to join us in this mission to completely revolutionize the way we develop personalized treatments and hopefully also to contribute to a better world without Alzheimer's. Thank you, and do reach out to me after the venue.


Hi everyone, in this video, I'm going to take you through my thought process as I make something like this Pokemon Oddish in our processing. So let's start by setting up our canvas, so we're going to give it a size of 600-600. You can make yours smaller, but I'm making mine this big because it's easier to see on the screen when I'm recording. I'm going to go ahead and give it a background color of white. We just test this straight away just to make sure that we're on the right track, and it's looking kind of like how we want. I've also got this sketch on the side here where I'm just going to be following along what's happening in the code so you can visually follow along with the thought process as well. Okay, so we've got our coordinates in there. Let's start off by making this body. Now, a lips works by figuring out what is the center point here. Give it a minute of nose. So how many pixels across in the x-coordinate space do we need to figure out what this point is? Well, if halfway is half of 600, then we know that we can start the body at 300. Then we have to figure out how far down in y-space do we need to put the body. I think about two thirds is going to be fine for this, so that would be 400. So let's go ahead and start off that. We have 300 for the x, 400 for the y, and then we have to figure out how wide and how tall the body will be. I'm just going to make a ball part guess. The beauty of code is you can always go back and change it if it's not working out the way you want it to. It looks about a third of the way across, so I'm going to put 200 here. We don't want it completely round because the odyssey is a little bit squashed, so maybe 150. Let's give it a test. That looks fine for now, so I'm just going to roll with it. Let's give them a color as well. If you go to the Tools tab, you can look at the color selector and you're able to pick any color you'd like. There's other ways of picking color, but just for this body, I'm going to pick something using the tool. This looks fine. You can type in the RGB yourself, but to save time, I'm just going to copy this hex code. We will use fill. Give it a test. That looks fine. Let's add in these feet. The feet are also going to be little ellipses. I could make them circles, but just for the sake of consistency, I'll keep it the same. Let's start by writing ellipse. Then we have to figure out what is this space here. We need to figure out what is this middle point. I'm going to use this center point as a reference because I think it's easy to work. If you're working like a symmetrical picture, working from a middle point is always good. I think it's about 50 or 60 pixels away from 300 in this direction, which would make this point here 240. Then in terms of how far up and down it is for the Y coordinate, it's probably about... It's lower than 400. Maybe let's try 500. 240. 500. Then the width and height, we can keep the same so it's a symmetrical circle. Let's just try 40 for now. That might not work. We can always change it, which is way off-center. Let's try and adjust that. I'm going to make this 60, 60 to make it bigger. Then let's decrease this to 450. Just take 50 pixels off so it moves up. Not quite right again, so let's change it a bit more. 470, move 480. I'm happy. Let's try and mirror this leg on the other side. If this leg was 60 pixels to the left of 300, then this one should be 60 pixels on the other direction, which should be 360. We'll keep the same Y coordinate, so this one's no longer 500. It's now 480. This one should also be exactly the same so that they are level. In fact, we can copy and paste this one because we're keeping the 60, 60 dimensions and the 480 is all the same. We can just change this one to 360 and we should have another leg on the other side. Perfect. The next step I want to do is these leaves. The way we're doing these leaves, because we have to use primitive shapes, is we're actually making these out of two completely separate triangles. One of them is going to go behind the body like this. Let's start off with this top triangle here and figure out what this point is. We know we want it to be in the middle. My drawing is a little bit off-center, so I'm taking me for that. We should want it dead-center in our picture, 300 pixels across. As for how far down we want it to be, we don't want it too far off the top. Probably only 100 pixels down, so I'm going to start with that. Triangle requires three sets of XY coordinates. We're going to use this point here, this point here, and this point here. If we put in our first one, we have 300, 100, then we have to figure out how far away from the centerline do we want to put this point. Because the feet were at 60, I don't want it as far as that. I'm going to probably put it about 40 pixels away from the center, which would put this point here at 260 in the X coordinate. I don't want it to be halfway across the screen, or a bit above. It's a little bit further than a third, so 250, 260, 250. This one, because we're mirroring it to the other side, if this one was 40 pixels away from the center, then this one, I want it to be 40 pixels away from the center, it should be 340. And then the same Y, because I want it to be in line in the Y direction, 340, 250. And let's give that a go. Okay, it looks right, but the colors are completely off, so let's give our triangles another color. If I go to the color selector, I can select it this way. But I'm almost certain that I know I want 255 green, just because I want Oddish to have very vibrant leaves. So again, you can copy it here, or you can just type in the RGB. There's lots of different ways of using fill, and I encourage you to experiment with them all. So let's run that. Looks fine to me. Let's draw the other triangle underneath. I'm just going to make this window a little bit wider, so we get to see all of that. Okay, so triangle. Now, to draw this one, we actually already know two of the points of this triangle. So we can get away with copying and pasting this last one, and just changing this top point to the coordinates of this bottom point here. So for this bottom point, I think the middle of the body is fine, and if it looks wrong, we can always change it, but I think the middle of the body would be a good place to put it. Now we know the middle of the body is 300, 400, so I'm going to keep that the same. So let's just copy this. I'm going to put 300, 400, and the points we know are exactly the same as the last triangle for the two sides, because we want them to meet, which they do. Now, processing actually works in layers where the first thing you code is going to be the first thing on the screen. Everything else is going to stack on top. So in order to make sure the leaf goes behind, I'm going to just copy this and put it at the beginning, just after we draw a background, but before we draw the body so that it's going to be behind the body. We also have this black line, which is separating the two triangles, and it kind of ruins the illusion a little bit, so we can actually get rid of that using something called no-stroke. No-stroke kind of works the same as stroke where you're setting a color, but it just gets rid of the color and makes it invisible, and you can always set back stroke later if it's not looking good for you. Cool. Okay, let's add in another leaf. These ones are a bit trickier, so let's figure out what this point is here. Well, we know that the one above is 340, 250, and we only want it to be maybe 10 pixels away from it, so we can make this a plus 10, plus 10, we'd get 350, 260. So let's start off that triangle. Oops, 350, 260. Okay, then we've got to figure out what is this point here, and similarly, I'm just going to refer how far away is it from this point, and I'm probably going to make it about 50 pixels away diagonally, so 50 to the right, 50 down, so that's going to give us 400, 310. Okay, and then our last point up here, I want it to be a lot more further away, definitely almost touching the edge here, so let's try 500, and we do want it to be above this 250, so maybe 230, yep, that looks fine. Okay, and then I'm going to, using the same technique, we already know what these two lines are, so when we're making this, sorry, these two points are, so when we're making this, we just have to connect it to the middle of the body, which we already know the coordinates for, and it's a fairly similar process. I can write in 300, 400, and I should note that these coordinates, as long as they're paired together, can really be in any order you like. Triangle doesn't really need a particular order aside from having xy.1, xy.2, etc. So let's have a look at that. Oh, done something wrong. I've changed the wrong coordinate. Always tricky with this stuff. Okay, 300, 400.  This is why I recommend having a piece of paper to work with you, if you're making a picture like this, because I find just having a sketch to work on on the side always makes it a little bit nicer to work with. Okay, that's fine. I actually might move up this point here a little bit, because it's a little bit droopy, and that was the 500 to 30 points. I'm just going to change that to 10. Just 20 pixels up. Yeah, and it looks fine. Okay, so how do we mirror this to the other side? Well, we know that 300 here is a center, and if we're doing all the x coordinates from 300 onwards, then we just have to figure out what is that distance and apply it to this side instead. So when this one says 350, in fact, I'm just going to copy these two triangles, because that's what we're making. We're making two more triangles. So if it's 50 pixels away from 300 to the right, let's make it 50 pixels away from 300 on the left. So that would be 250. 400 is 100 away from 300 on the right. So let's change that to 200. So it's 100 away from the left, sorry, 100 away from 300, but towards the left, and the 500, 300, 300 can stay the same, because that's the middle of the body, and the 500 is 200 away, so I'm just going to change that to 100. Cool, and let's mirror it on the other side. Let's finish this off by just adding some eyes, and I'm just going to do them right at the very bottom, because we want it to appear on top. I'll change the fill color to a dark red. So it's RGB, and if it's not too much red, but blue, zero, green, I'm going to make it something like 80, zero, zero. We should get our dark red, and then we'll have two ellipses probably around the middle. So in line with the body, so it would be 400 in the y direction, but not too far away from the center, so maybe 40 pixels away from that. So 300 minus 40 is 260, 400, and then the size maybe 30, 30, and let's do it again for the right eye, where we have 340, 430, 30. Give it a go. Okay, far too dark, eyes are a little bit big. Let's change this to 140, and make these 20 pixels each, wide and tall. Okay, I'm satisfied. So there are many things you can do to improve it, obviously it's just a very simple tutorial, but I challenge you, if you do want to follow along with this, maybe try adding in some extra lines, down here to make the leaves more detailed, or maybe add like a little smile in, or chance the eyes or some shadows. There's definitely lots of ways you can learn using processing and experimenting is one of the best. So I encourage you to try out some of the things in this video you may have learnt, and look forward to the next one.


It has been said, of wild spirits, that they cannot be contained for long, lest the ties that bind them to role and position and duty erode the fundamental nature of their character. Better, they say, to let those of this temperament run free, to be as they truly are, lest we chafe them into a broken existence. But, others argue, is it not the rule of law that separates man from beast? Our codified system of justices and conventions, the structure of our social systems. These are the means by which we have brought the stars themselves to heal. We shaped them by our very will, not the wild fantasies of souls too fanciful or arrogant, to work for the betterment of the whole within the structures we have built. This has ever been a conflict within the soul of humanity. For there are those of us, exceptional individuals, persons of wild hearts and uncontainable selves, who are nonetheless utterly brilliant, for whom the systems by which we abide day by day are not so much as chains. Indeed, it can be said that the armies of humanity are perhaps the best example of this, as those who we send to accomplish the wet work, the murder make, that which we ourselves are unwilling or simply unable to do, are often those who simply cannot fit within the bounds of what we term civilisation. The great crusade was replete with examples. The savage butchery of the 12th legion world eaters, the chemical devastations of the 14th legion deathguard, the unspeakable atrocities of the 8th legion night lords. All serve as snapshots of men who were, arguably, brilliant at what they did, only that what they did was not very nice at all. But, conversely, there are those of an otherness born not from ill intent or delinquency, but simply from uniqueness, from removal from the human volume. They do not hate society. They simply do not enjoy its trappings. The venom of politics unnerves them. The rule of law irritates them. The demands of rulers exasperate them. They wish to be free, to live as they please, to go where they please, to comport themselves by their own morals, their own justice, to simply be. For the subjects of this record, this was the life they once knew, and thereafter the life they sought. But for the vagaries of fate, perhaps they may have once again claimed it. Well, this was not their destiny. Their tales and lives are utterly fascinating, regardless. Know then, that this is a record of the Great Horde, the Tal Scar, the Ordu of the Khan, the fifth legion, White Scars. Founded with their legion as Astartes' cousins upon the scarred surface of Holy Terra during the darkest days of the Unification Wars, the fifth legion was one of the first to draw blood in the name of the Emperor's cause. Drawn initially from the nomadic mechanic-crawler tribes of the Thulean Basin, and later from other scattered hosts of the homeworld's population, the fifth was greatly influenced by the cultures that birthed it. The tribes had weathered the worst of the Age of Strife by isolating themselves in the frozen wastes of Thule, becoming hardened survivalists in an environment few upon Terra would attempt to even consider living in. While other legions, such as the 1st and 7th, were tasked with frontline duties to support the Emperor's Thunder Warrior regiments, the 5th took on an altogether different mien, becoming the eyes and ears of the hosts of unity, assigned to forward reconnaissance and seeker missions, to root out warlords and demagogues from remote regions of Terra. It is remarkable when one considers the scale, as, during this period, all Astartes legions had barely reached the Alpha induction phase, designed to bring them to full combat strength. The 5th numbered only a few hundred warriors, who, given the nature of their assignments, would operate in tactical level groupings of less than a dozen.  Rampant thinking machines, sigh plagues, rad and chem soaked wastelands, and more. Isolated from the Lord of Lightning's growing empire by distance and purpose, the 5th would subjugate all enemies of the nascent Imperium with a ruthless efficiency, and when encountering those they lacked the martial strength to take to task, would embark upon a guerrilla campaign to bleed them of strength, hastening their defeat, when the armies of unity eventually arrived to bring to them full ruin. The task was, however, thankless. The Codres of the 5th Legion would often be isolated in hostile territory for years at a time, relying on their Thulian survival skills in combination with their Astartes physiology, to endure that which could break even other legions. This inculcated a fiercely independent, and indeed insular, streak in the 5th Legion, who were noted for simply ignoring the orders of many commanders, save the emperor himself, especially those who had not done enough to earn their respect. Those that did prized the 5th for their shrewdness and exacting efficiency. Those that did not would decry them for acting like little better than obstinate scouts. The 5th's task was entirely thankless. They earned few battle honors during the Unification Wars, for when Allegienes Astartes or Thunder Warrior Regiment would arrive to annihilate the target they had carefully selected and winnowed, the 5th would already be gone, off to find the next target, always moving forward. The Albion Fortress of Dubri, the Catacombs of the Indonesian Kadiru, many others. All brought to compliance, thanks largely to the efforts of the 5th, all whose records barely note their engagement at all. It is not recorded that the 5th took this as a slight. Indeed, it seemed that there was a quiet pride amongst the Legion in their less than public victories, but it nonetheless served to isolate them further, through a combination of choice and circumstance from the rest of the Emperor's forces. They were content in the field, content in their solitude, content in their independence. They had the writ of the master of mankind himself, and did not feel the need to heed the words of those they saw as petty generals, giving orders from comfortable headquarters half a world away. This streak was to become the defining trait of the Legion ever after. Even as the Great Crusade dusted off from the homeworld, and the Emperor had barely constituted a full hold on the outer system, the 5th Legion had already left the light of Saul, burning hard into the cold void at full wake, banners now bearing a new cognomen, the Star Hunters. Now, at nearly full Legion strength, they were nevertheless subdivided into over 100 different pioneer companies, tasked with following the strongest warp currents and pushing into uncharted space ahead of the main crusade expeditionary fleets. It was one such pioneer company that first marked the gravity well of Cthonia, as a nest of serpents coiling in the dark that we would be better to destroy. 16th Legion Primarch Horace Lupacal, whose Legion would famously be drawn from, said, reptilian nest, would oft quote the report in good humour, and famously favoured the captain of the company Cornelius Jure, as his pathfinder of choice for the 63rd Expeditionary Fleet. As with previously recorded examples of the 3rd and 19th legions, Horace won the respect of many within the 5th for his peerless understanding of their talents, with the Terran veterans of the Star Hunters treating the Primarch in turn with the respect they granted to but a scant few commanders. This period of the Legion's history essentially mirrors that of their time on Terra. The character of the Star Hunters, even removed from the wastes of Terra, was not altered by their new experiences. If anything, it became even more deeply ingrained, as their military actions followed similar patterns, different only in scale and in the nature of the foes they faced. Xenos empires had replaced Terran demagogues, strike forces now numbered in the hundreds, not the tens, but the means had changed little. Seek, identify, scout, destroy or bleed. Each pioneer company was effectively a Legion onto itself, possessing a shared lineage and structure, but as isolated from the other companies as the Star Hunters as a whole were from the Imperium. While Demi-cultures would shape the Mian of these companies, a unified combat doctrine would nevertheless emerge out of necessity. The 5th's mastery of the hit-and-run, probing raids that would bleed the enemy and draw them out of their holes, allowed the Legion to learn more and more with each strike, knowledge earned through blood to be broadcasted to the pursuing Imperial fleets. The means through which the Star Hunters waged their silent and unseen wars were, however, not sustainable. Each raid would bring losses, be it of Astartes, ammunition or armament. The Thulean survival credos embedded in the Legion's bones allowed them to make war with resource levels that would have crippled the effectiveness of any military formation, let alone an Astartes Legion, and their technological skills permitted them to keep their war machines and starships operating far beyond their operational lifespans. But all of this simply could not be maintained forever. Even the landcraft cities of the Thule Basin had needed to find succor in the darkest days of old night, and nothing of the complexity of an Astartes Legion, not even one as peerlessly resourceful as the Star Hunters, could operate alone forever. The further they pushed into the darkness, the harder it became for them to recoup their losses. Supply lines of new recruits, ammunition, tanks, fliers, weaponry, all became dangerously overstretched. The various pioneer companies were not unaware of their predicament, but the old Thulean stubbornness and disdain for petty authority persisted, rendering the concept of requests for aid a bitter thing indeed. It seemed that many had simply resigned themselves to live and die by their own choosing, under foreign and unknowable skies, fighting for themselves and for their kin, and perhaps the distant ideals of unity. But for a chance encounter, upon the world of Chogoris, this may have been their ultimate fate. The tale of Jagatai, fifth of the Emperor's sons, is perhaps ironically, given the path he would ultimately tread, widely known. His gestation pod crashed into the surface of the temperate planet Chogoris, leaving him to be adopted as a member of one of the many nomadic horse tribes of the Al-Tac, a continental-sized steppe plane covering the majority of the planet's surface. At an effectively feudal level of technology, with no knowledge as to how they came unto the world, the culture of the planet was one of tribal warfare, honor raids, and generational feuds. Years into his life, one such raid claimed the life of Jagatai's adopted father, the Khan of his tribe, and embarked the Primarch upon a road of conquest that would usher him into the realm of legend. The Kurayad, his father's murderers, were the first to fall. In days past, the victor of a raid would claim horses, slaves, and monetary tributes in the wake of victory. Not so with Jagatai.  It appeared this art inculcated an idea of unity in the new Khan. No longer would the endless cycle of raids and murder be let stand. Feuds that had persisted for generations until not even those who held them knew the true reason for their persistence would not be countenanced for the wasteful and pointless things they were. Such peace, as is so oft the case, could only be one at the end of a blade. Jagatai's path of conquest was swift and merciless. No bloodthirsty tyrant he, though. To those tribes he defeated, his offer echoed that of the father he did not know he had. Comply, or be destroyed. Word of the Kurayad defeat had spread far and fast, and with few able to offer much in the way of resistance to the new Khan, submission was clearly the preferable choice. Jagatai was not without wisdom, however, and treated all those who submitted to his rule, with an honor that took the tribes of the Al-Tak by surprise, accustomed as they were to the endless years of vindictive reprisals at the hands of their conquerors. His Ordu, Khorchin, the language of Chogores for Horde, swelled with the talent and wisdom of dozens of tribes, all brought under the banner of the Khan through respect, honor, and a newfound sense of loyalty. Within scant decades, a new power had risen on Chogores, befitting a name unheard of in the planet's history. Jagatai was now the Khagan, the Khan of Khans, the unquestioned ruler of the plains. His home subjugated, the Khagan turned his energy and attention now to the despotic empires beyond the Al-Tak that had long since preyed upon the tribes for slaves. The conquest of this period blooded Jagatai in an altogether different type of warfare, as the armies of the city, states, and empires he now faced were different in every possible way to the warrior clans that formed his great Ordu. Yet he adapted, turning a keen military intelligence to adapting the hit-and-run warfare of the plains in order to combat the standing armies and regiments of his enemies. One by one those enemies fell to the hordes of the Al-Tak, with the Khan using the same simple maxim he had employed to bring his tribal kin to heal, surrender, or be annihilated. Destruction and generosity, the two hands of the Khagan, were to once more mark Chogores, but now on a planetary scale, for soon the world itself had been bent to his will. Should the Khan have had any grander plans beyond this, they will never be known, for his true father was at that point to arrive. The Emperor of Mankind had come to Chogores to inform his wayward son of his true destiny, to be the master of the fifth legion Astartes. No transition of power from old legion command to that of the Primarch was ever identical. Some were fraught, others natural. For the Khan it was somewhere in the middle. As the fifteenth son of the Emperor to be recovered, his finding was not the magnificent cause for celebration amongst Imperial command, such as an event had once been. It had, bizarrely, become almost routine. The timing of his discovery was also during the height of the Rangdan Xenosides, and the Imperium was sorely pressed for all possible military assets to be utilized as soon as possible.  Two, however, objected to this. Rabot Gulliman and Rogel Dorne, Primarchs of the thirteenth and seventh legions respectively, felt their brother was ill-educated in the ways of the Empire he now ostensibly served, and that his shallow understanding of its various cultures, laws, factions, would ultimately see him unable to integrate into his father's Imperium. Their foresight was not exactly untrue, but their feelings on the matter, which set something of a tone for how the fifth legion, now being referred to across the Imperium as the White Scars, were seen.  Their new Cognomen serves as an excellent example of this, as it was not one chosen by the fifth legion itself. The Ordu, in their typical fashion, represented themselves by their Corchin name, Talscar, the region of Chogores Jagatai had plummeted to so many years before. As with their kin in the sixth legion space wolves, the dignitaries and ordealies of the Imperial regime misunderstood the subtleties, and focused on the ivory rainments, the colours of the old Chogorian Ordu, to apply to them a pleasingly simple title. As the Cogn himself put it, according to the writings of his brother Sanguinius of the ninth legion Blood Angels, they misheard the first, they observed the second. Their words, not ours. It is not recorded that the fifth displayed any particular antipathy towards their official name. Indeed, they did not seem to care much at all. As Chogorian was the primary culture by far in the legion, subsequent to the finding of their Primarch, and Corchin the dominant language, the scars referred to themselves as they always had, the Ordu of Jagatai. What this does is effectively highlight the severe gulf that developed between the Ordu and the rest of the Imperium. It has been noted that the Corchin speakers had difficulty acclimating to the usage of Gothic, often retaining an accent much thicker than their cousins of other worlds in other legions. Most languages on legion five worlds possessed common root elements in the tongues of old earth, making transition to Imperial Gothic a easier prospect. Corchin possessed no such connection, just as the culture of Chogoris was so radically removed from the norms of developed Imperial worlds. This was further exacerbated by the Khan's insistence that Imperial colonization would be in no way brought to his homeworld. As he saw it, the planes of the Altaq bred warriors of sterling quality, and to simply drop Imperial cities and technology into the midst of these nomadic societies would devastate Chogorian culture irreparably. The Khan was not alone amongst his brothers in making these types of demands. Limanrus and Sanguinius both had similar ones, although macro-scale colonization of Fenris was rendered completely impossible by the planet's incredible geological instability, and the same for Baal, with the planet's utterly imicable weather conditions. Chogoris did not possess the churning continents of Fenris, nor the rad wastelands of Baal, but in truth did not possess much in the way of material resources at all beyond its manpower.  Thus, Chogoris remained as it had been for millennia. The tribes of the Altaq developed new legends in the wake of the great Khan's passing, now accommodating the strange lights of landing craft that occasionally traced the night sky, and paying homage to the bravest and most skilled warriors that would now mysteriously vanish in the wake of many battles. Jagatai, hastily installed in his new position as Master of the Fifth Legion, with minimal time with either his father or brothers, found himself in command of a Legion of, as some uncharitably put it, Vagabonds. The pioneer companies of the Old Star Hunters were spread across a truly incredible volume, fighting in a thousand separate engagements, more divided than any other Legion. The Khan did not bulk at the task ahead of him. If anything, he found himself perfectly suited for the purpose. To forge a new Legion, a new Ordu from scattered bands of nomads, it was truly his life's calling writ anew, a fresh Altaq of stars as his new plane. Recruitment from Chogoris was begun with all haste, with the Khan's erstwhile inner circle becoming the first of the new white scars. He summoned every single pioneer company to the new Legion homeworld, words spreading out through the void by courier or astropath. The call would take many years to reach all of the scattered Fifth Legion companies. The Khan himself waited a decade upon Chogoris, overseeing recruitment and meeting with each newly arrived band, although it is recorded that the last fleet to reappear from the Outer Dark would not arrive some 125 years later, in 000 M31. Terran recruitment dried up to nothing, as the Khan made Chogoris the fulcrum around which his Legion's life would revolve. Terran, a startys of the former Star Hunters, adapted as quickly as they could to the new status quo. A situation perhaps aided by the fact that thanks to their years of isolation from each other, the Legion possessed little in the way of a unifying culture. Corchin was not an easy language to learn, but neither was Gothic in reverse. A form of brotherhood through shared cultural polarity formed, kinship revolving around the inherent differences that they had been ordered to erode. Despite the changes demanded of them, the Terran Star Hunters did not possess much in the way of antipathy to the new culture. As with other legions, the reunion with the Primarch, especially after so long fighting as orphans, was a moment of great celebration, and the compulsion to emulate both him and the Legion's new home was incredibly powerful. The obstinate ways of the Star Hunters were similar to the disdain Chogorians tended to feel towards authority figures, and Jagatai was nothing if not adept at earning the respect of such people. The culture that emerged was Chogorian to its core. Even the staunch tenets of the Imperial truth blurred somewhat by the superstitions and beliefs of the Altaic, something Jagatai would not compromise on, and which drew the skeptical eyes of some amongst his brothers. After ten years of recruitment and integration, the Khan led eighty thousand Estartes into the Kholarn Circle campaign to exterminate the hordes of savage greenskins that dwelt there. Upon those battlefields were the hit-and-run tactics of the planes deftly wedded to the survival skills of the Star Hunters, and out of this forge, a new Legion was to emerge, bloody to new, and united as never before. The years that followed were heady ones, glory days, looked back upon by the scars as the decades of battle and laughter. The second century of the Great Crusade, where the Imperium had emerged from the horrors of the Rangdan Xenosides and was bestriding the galaxy anew, were now one the oft-forgotten fifth Legion of old could fully claim triumphs for. While they were never as numerous as some of their cousins in other legions, the white scars were notable for the fervour with which they made war. They descended upon their foes with an almost unfathomable rapidity, striking the enemy like a lightning bolt from the blue skies. It was often commented upon that they laughed as they made battle, for the sheer love of the fight, for the exaltation of the speed they fought with. Not for the ordu of the Khan was the iron discipline or exacting planning of their fellows. No, for them, war was a thing to be won with fire and passion. Their wildness was unnerving to their fellows, but no less effective, for they were not the ill disciplined rout of the sixth legion or the bloodthirsty butchers of the twelfth world eaters, but warriors of honour for whom the joy of battle was its own reward. They were not warriors of extermination, although as with all legions could be called upon to exact such fate, upon those who called for it. They retained the keen intelligence of the star hunters, but tempered now with the insight and spirit of Chogoris. Detailed stratagems and meticulous forward planning were not for them, but they would nevertheless relay all knowledge of any enemies they discovered are bested to the wider Imperium, not simply cold data, but wisdom in the truest sense, knowledge fused with lived experience. To some, the disdain for forward planning was simply maddening, labouring the legion and its primarch with a reputation for being fanciful or unreliable. In truth, the fifth was perfectly reliable when called upon to fight, with an extensive honour roll for a legion of its size. The reputation they had for flightiness was born of a frustration many within Imperial command, even jagatize own brothers, felt in the sheer difficulty of pinning the Khan and the White Scars down. They were a restless breed, the Ordu, ill-suited to remaining in one place for long, always eager for new worlds and new horizons. This, combined with the aforementioned view of the fifth being somehow savage or barbaric, has led to perhaps the most widespread misunderstanding of a legion's character in the annals of Imperial historiography. They may have worn the cloak of the savage, and in their hearts possessed passions and desires considered ill-fitting to the more staid of Imperial cultures, but they were honourable men bound by an honourable creed. Those who knew them best, as discerned from the writings of departmental munitorum general Ilia Ravallion, knew them as warriors who valued politeness and courtesy, but never at the expense of forthrightness. Should they ignore the protocols of others, be they political or military, they did so simply because their own ways served them better, and they were confident enough in this to both let the unassailable results speak for themselves, or to apologise humbly and sincerely should they be found in error. Humanity, as it has been want to do, took straightforwardness for uneducated simplicity, and the valuing of the smaller aspects of life for barbarian ignorance. As for the writings of General Ravallion, neither Khan nor legion was much inclined to do anything to dispel these assumptions. As they had always done, they simply left it up to those with the insight to see past the rumours and snide remarks, and to draw themselves their own conclusions. They simply did not care what the galaxy thought they were. They knew themselves, they knew the trueness of their hearts, and found such a life content. Yet this did, as with the ways of politics, lead to a detachment from the rest of the legion as a starty, it was never to be fully bridged. Jagatai was ever out in the wildness of space pursuing his own ends, and the vanguard of the great crusade, and met with his brother's little, unless the latter made acute efforts to track him down. Those who did, however, were the type to pay no heed to what the Imperium would say of the Khan, and in those brothers, the Khan found his truest friendships. Sanguinius of the Blood Angels was perhaps the most empathetic to his wayward sibling, and it is known that the two were very close. Horus Lupacau, as was his way, cared not for words, only deeds, and fully understood the incredible value the skills of the Khan and his legion represented, earning him their respect in that process. Magnus the Red and Jagatai too found kinship. Bound by a shared isolation from a humanity, they both felt understood neither them nor what drove them. Sadly, regardless of all this, the gulf between legion and Imperium, between Primark and brothers, only drove them further apart as the armies of the great crusade advanced, where the scars would battle and conquer to their hearts' content, and not have to answer to any man. Maps were being completed in those latter years of the crusade, wild space was shrinking. Olinor, where the scars had won themselves many an honor, seemed to have been the last big fight. All that was left was simply filling in the blank parts of the star charts. This the Khan knew, and it sat ill with him. For out of his many brothers, he was perhaps the one who worried most as to the fate of the legion as a starty, once the master of mankind had secured his realm. As is the way of fate, however, destiny was to intervene. The years subsequent to Olinor held much in the way of challenges for the Kagan and his Ordu, with the Council of Nikia and the Chondax campaign being the most notable. Given the scope of these particular events, they will require records of their own, but no yee that this was where the legion and its master stood as the tendrils of greatest heresy crept into the galaxy. They stood apart from their fellows, removed by bearing in culture, by warfare and ideology. They were a starties of an altogether different breed, wild at heart, wishing to shuck whatever chains those they saw as self-important wish to place upon them. Should be born in mind with absolute certainty that there was no malice in this. The fifth legion was true, truer than many could ever have known, for it was a loyalty that did not mesh with the trappings of the Imperium, but a loyalty that dwelt within the heart no less. It was loyal to the Imperium at its core, to the notion that none must challenge mankind's right to be independent among the stars, to live in peace without fear of despot or tyrant, to roam whatever skies they wished unchallenged by any. The tragedies of face would have other plans, until a time as that tale can be recounted. Ave Imperator, Gloria in Excelsis Terra. Forward slash Oculus Imperia.

We probably talked a little bit of Kansas basketball We've definitely talked basketball But I think this is also the first week they've had college game day The football region at least if I if I recall correctly so fun times We didn't get Parker Parker Fleming on to talk to you Could have had him on this week instead of a couple weeks ago to talk to you But I'm sure Parker has bigger things at hand this week. I hope he's enjoying Which should be a pretty fun week for TCU.

What we've seen so far this year Yeah, I mean, it's there's no definitive answer. I mean my model has an answer for how it changes based on data from Games and other aspects, but you know, there's no definitive answer you're gonna overreact too much on some teams you're gonna underreact on some teams and That's kind of the art of you know, handicapping and making good bets So yeah, am I yeah, well, we'll talk about still leaning on some priors and I'm gonna do That more for certain teams and actually certain units on teams than than others, but yeah, that's where it gets tricky and you just got to Follow what's going on in the field. No, you know, no the situation and And just go from there and make your best educated guess and we talked quite a bit about how you have a new model now That is more reactive to More recent data the past couple of weeks. I'm assuming then that also means that the prior is Less impactful in that model than would have been for a previous model this point in the year Or is that still going to be pretty similar? I Actually haven't tested it. I haven't looked at you know correlations from this week in the season to preseason I would guess it gets off of it a little bit faster. Yeah But I don't know for sure because I mean there's still gonna be a lot of teams that are Performing essentially like we expected them to perform right Michigan is an example of that They're still, you know, six through tenth somewhere look somewhere around there. That's what we expected and And you know won't give a different answer until maybe they play Penn State or a state at the end of the year Yeah, the teams that deviate from expectations tend to be or like the mass deviations tend to be the outliers more so than the norm So let's talk about a couple of those outliers and talk about TCU at Kansas right now TCU a seven point favorite total of 68 and a half and Kansas has beaten some decent teams of late, but NASA faced another undefeated team in TCU and a very good undefeated team Can they cover seven here or is TCU too tough of a task for these J Hawks? Yeah, I mean, I think this is these are some awesome stories here, right Lance Leopold going over to Kansas He got there in the spring of 2001 and didn't even see spring practice They weren't very good last year, but then they had that huge upset win at Texas towards the end of the season and Now this season they're they're just good Numbers on offense and defense both look good. Jaylen Daniels the quarterback has led the 27 Beth offense when I look at a justice success rate, they're particularly good at throwing the ball and Man has 41 odds to win the Heisman Which doesn't which means most likely he won't win it, but that is a remarkable thing for Kansas quarterback on defense They're also pretty good. They're 22nd one. I look at my adjusted success rate and you know, this is where I'm a little I'm not sure, you know, they they they brought in a lot of transfers to help a defense that was in the hundreds last year and You know, I think the offense is probably a little bit more sustainable I'm not sure about the defense and and we can actually talk about like kind of that expectation To who they're gonna play so they're playing TCU and This team this program has gone through a lot over the last couple of years. They let go a long time I mean essentially legendary coaching Gary Patterson Who is considered a defensive mastermind? until last year where his defense couldn't stop anybody and TCU all of a sudden dropped from I think Top 5 and in 2022 in the hundreds in 2021 and they decided to part ways and Gary Patterson isn't there anymore and Sunny Dikes comes in but so so the offense has been good and QB Max Delgan has has led the 24th best offense when I look at adjusted success rate and Honestly, that's not too much of a surprise. They were 36 last year.  So none of that is a surprise You know, they've actually been really good on defense They're 28th when I look at my adjusted success rate and that one's a little bit more interesting, right? Because they were terrible last year, but there's got to be a little institutional memory of a defense that was, you know Regularly top 10 for the decade before So I kind of feel like I trust that a little bit more than the jumping in Kansas defense Look, we're all making a lot of guesses here at the end of the day my numbers say that TCU is gonna win this by almost nine eight point seven points and I think I trust that and and I think a lot of the the kind of subjective stuff like, you know How much how much am I just in here? How much am I just in there? Like do I believe if I had to believe? That any of these offensive defensive numbers are off. I think I would believe that Kansas defense is not as good as The numbers suggest they are right now and if I had confidence that any unit was as good as It is suggested by the numbers I would believe in TCU's offense simply because they have a quarterback back top three receivers offensive minded coach So yeah, I actually like TCU to cover here minus seven. I actually like the over as well I have my numbers have a total of 71 and a half in this game And I think the idea again because I believe the most in TCU's offense that they're that good And I'm more skeptical that Kansas defense is that good, but it's also nice because That sentiment is aligned with the data. It's not as if you are bucking your data It's okay My data says this and I agree that if it's going to be wrong It's gonna be wrong in the correct direction to back TCU minus seven that should probably give you a decent amount of faith Also, that does relate to the over as well yeah, exactly and You know, am I necessarily gonna be right about these? I don't know. I mean, I actually made a big deal about how good Washington's defense was in my newsletter and Yeah, it didn't work out so well against UCLA and we'll get into that in a little bit Also make a big deal. I think yeah Did I make a big deal last week about how bad Texas A&M's offense was and they're still bad But they actually put up some points and did not support the under in that game at all So, you know this all these adjusted success rates are based on four or five games for these teams There's still a lot of noise there Honestly, there's still a lot of noise when we go through 12 games. Yeah So, you know, we'll see football is a sport of small samples and Finding the best way to combat those small samples is all we really can do success rate seems to be the best way to do So so it has flaws But it's still gonna be the best solution that we have to an inherent problem across all of football Let's talk about Tennessee at LSU right now Tennessee three point favorite here total is 64 and a half and LSU did lose the four to save but they've won four straight since then Competition level pretty suspect. So how do they measure up to Tennessee based on your numbers? Yeah, you know, honestly, I'm not that sure that the LSU's competition level is that suspect You know at the beginning of the season I had all of the SEC West teams in the top 25 I think you can make a pretty good argument that Auburn doesn't belong there and that's who they played last week But the you know Auburn's not terrible they're not terrible enough to Be told we had their coach from getting fired. So that's In a pretty rugged SEC West and Mississippi State is probably a pretty good football team And LSU managed to beat them. But even with that said You know, I saw a lot of three and a half's when I looked just this morning So if a fan dual went back to three That that is certainly saying something my model has Tennessee by three point nine a lot That's just driven by an offense. That's been pretty incredible And in Hooker has led the fourth best offense when I look at adjusted success rate They're actually pretty been pretty good on defense as well 38th And then LSU, you know, they've been pretty good on both sides of the ball You know, obviously the the high drama with the missed extra point to start the season But the 21st on offense 23rd on defense. I think they do have the talent to support that You know, the coverage is always pretty full there Brian Kelly did go to the portal quite a bit on the defense is actually on both sides of the ball with with the quarterback and Jalen Daniels as well, so Yeah, this was gonna be talented LSU. I can definitely see these units being that good Daniels got dinged up a little bit last week, but he should be good good to go in this game Don't see a don't see a ton of value on the side or the total here Yeah, the number at Fandals minus three, but it's also minus 105 on that minus three So it's actually leaning away from the three and a half in that regard I'm seeing a minus 110 another spots on the minus three there So minus 105 interesting, but you said three point nine being your number not a lot of edge there But keep it close on and maybe if he gets to two and a half you could potentially fire on that one But at three even a minus 105 I feel like that's probably not quite enough to pull the trigger there Let's talk about Utah at UCLA Utah three and a half point favorites total 64 and a half You mentioned UCLA and kind of lay in the wood last week. Talk to Carl Wilson. He was on our show He talked up UCLA plus two and a half against Washington Can they do it again here another another slight dog against a very good team? Yeah, I know it's interesting and it's really where it's one of these situations where I really need to get off my prior on Dorian Thompson Robinson Yeah It's it's his fifth year at UCLA as as the starter which is kind of crazy and You know the offense was pretty good last year. I Turned on the beginning that I was actually pretty excited about that game before Age crept in and I had to go to bed. So I actually saw the first drive and and thought he was pretty bad You know, even though they did drive it down. They got stuffed on a fourth down Near the goal line, but obviously he came back and did a good job. They won the game And you see all you six when I look at you know adjusted success rates So so it's all there for for the fifth year quarterback Yeah, so I don't know hard time kind of back in UCLA Utah, you know, they are looking pretty good on offense. They're 18th of my adjusted success rate They are excelling in the past at fifth and that's kind of what we expect We thought camera ising was gonna be a star at the quarterback position their 80th when I look at Adjusted success rate on defense. That's a little bit of a surprise. You expect more from Kyle Woodingham teams So, you know, my numbers have you taught by about five and a half points here I would lean that way don't necessarily love it because of some of those defensive numbers and Yeah, should be good one out in the pack club. We've seen this number go from four to three and a half Do you think that is a reaction to a High-profile win in like kind of an islandy type situation where it was on Friday nights people buying the UCLA based on that I saw a lot of DTR highlights Saturday morning He had about like that step back when he was scoring When he's had the Russian touchdown the two defenders like ran into each other like is it it could that be Generating UCLA hype or what's your read on that? Yeah, maybe I'm not not really sure. I mean, I would I still think you told probably the better team here I mean clearly if you're three and a half point favorite on the road You're you're considered the better team here, but that's what it doesn't mean UCLA can't pull off another win at home Sure, if it were to get to three would that be enough for you to buy in hypothetically it might not happen Yes, like yeah, I would definitely be interested at three maybe I would definitely be towards Utah and I would have some interest at three Okay, so keep close eyes on that one It's three and a half right now minus 110 on the Utah side of Fandall sportsbook But we've already seen it move to three and a half It's a bigger move to get to three But we'll see that one of the market moves on the UT Utah against UCLA A lot of other games on the board for this week though Ed. What are you seeing elsewhere week six at Fandall sportsbook? So one game that one team that I've been following as an over team is USC Came into the season with Lincoln Riley as the head coach and Kayla Williams as the quarterback and Jordan Edison as It's maybe one of the best receivers in the country So, you know, it was a game that that earlier this week over 63 my numbers have it at about 67 It's gotten up to 66 now I think when I check Fandall everything seems to have changed since I checked two hours ago might want to check that one again, but You know, no more value in that one right now But I would definitely early in the week kind of keep my eye on UCLA USC See where that total is You know, I mean defensively they've actually looked pretty decent this year. So maybe less of an over team than then First couple weeks of the season but still an offense that is going to be pretty explosive and One that I'm looking about the overrun. Yeah, it's back down to 65 and a half So it has come down to half point, but I think that's what I think that's what it was. Yeah, and you There might have been some 66 at other books, but I think it was 65 and a half. Yeah, and me You said your number your number was 67, correct? 66.6. Okay. So yeah, not a huge gap there But could be one where you kind of see what the number is for the open on Sunday for the next game and see Where they settle in there, but we did go through T. TCU minus seven. We have TCU Cance over 68 and a half potentially Utah. We can get that to three as well. So I don't know. It's pretty actionable stuff on the board here for this week at fandals sports book as well So I think it should be a fun one across week number six That's all we got here for today on covering the spread that Ed, of course You are very busy over at the power rank and the football analytics show I used my mug for an espresso again yesterday actually sprayed the milk For the Cappuccino everywhere because I didn't know how to use the milk foamer thing because I have a moron who can't read instructions But I did use the mug.
