Part Of A Short Story

So, this is what I have so far of this story that I'm writing about my fictional organization, the Department of Paranormal Research. They are based in the fictional town of Havenwood, PA, and do exactly what their name implies, along with taking insane bounty hunters and such into custody.
That was really just the Cliffs Notes version of their jobs, but don't worry about that, it's not much that you need to know to read this. This story is entitled "Where Were You When Maria Lipton Escaped?" and is about the escape of their most prized prisoner, crazed bounty hunter Maria Lipton. So, without further ado, here you have it.

"Oh, this is REDICULOUS!" Copper-haired Cillian Hume flew furiously down the hallway, towards the office of Miles Linus, Squad A's cynical leader. Once the tall, rail-thin man reached the door, he cleared his throat, straightened his immaculately ironed button-down shirt, and burst into the room.
Upon the sudden noise, Miles's pitch-black head of hair shot up from his desk, making it apparent that he had been asleep atop the large pile of unfinished paperwork that sat in front of him. The shorter, and obviously more laid-back, man wore an Underarmor shirt the same dark color as his hair, and a pair of skin-tight jeans.
"Wha' d'you want, Cillian?" He slurred, rubbing his eyes as the other man opened the blinds, letting a bright ray of afternoon light into the room.
"I WANT you to actually FINISH a report for once!" Cillian retorted, sitting irritatedly in the chair parked in front of Miles's desk.
"Well, you're the Head of Internal Affairs, you take care of the reports. Jacob doesn't mind." Miles snarked back, naming the Department's easy-going president. Without another word, the redhead slid a report form that had been covered in crayon doodles of bunnies, rainbows and stars over to him. The squad leader looked at his superior, and smirked to find that a vein was angrily and steadily throbbing in his forehead.
"Ah. I take it you found the report Evana filled out." Miles had gotten the siren to fill out his paperwork for the day, being fully aware that the girl had the mental capacity of a ten year old, and the attention span of a three year old with ADD. The higher-ups, obviously, were not amused.
"I hope you know, I'm taking this matter straight to Jacob, along with certain other complaints many have about your team."
"What, that we harass the trainees? EVERYONE does that! Lighten up, man!" Miles's smirk grew, and Cillian looked about ready to slap him.
And that was when the power went out.
"Well, this just puts the icing on the cake."

As always, feedback is appreciated!

    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net
  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
