Meep

A cute furball that detonates when harmed.

Crepitus Magus. The meep is a cute furball. It has huge eyes, triangular ears and is covered in red fur. Around its back it has vibrant yellow-green spots and a white to yellow mane and short orange fur around the stomach and chest. The tail that comes out of its back is long and puffy. The arms and legs of this creature are short and stubby and are barely functional. The antlers that extend from its head make it almost impossible to miss.

Meeps are known for their tender and fatty meat. They are delicious and in their chest sits a valuable fire spellcasting focus. As an added bonus their colorful fur makes for nice hats and boots. If you can get your hands on it.

Explosive Demise. Meeps crawl along the ground and, using their long tongues, they eat normal and evergreen leaves, fruits, flowers and anything else their huge eyes can spot.

After filling its stomach a meep will sit with its back against a tree or rock, digesting and watching. Their small limbs make them one of the slowest creatures in existence and sadly cuteness is not a good defense mechanism.

Instead of strong jaws or legs, the meep has another defense mechanism. If the meep spots a potential predator with its eyes, it does two things. First it charges a magical organ under its heart with energy, then it starts to scream. The high pitched "MEEEE" they emit is audible all around and a warning. Should the meep be killed now, the magical organ inside it will explode in a massive and lethal fireball. The only way to kill the meep without being blasted into pieces is to surprise and kill it before it can prime. No easy task with those huge eyes keeping constant watch.

Life. Meeps breed quickly. A female gives birth to between 4 and 6 cubs. For a year they rely on their mother for sustenance and protection, after which point they are fully grown and wander off. They live for up to 10 years.

Meeps are passive animals and not very active. As long as they are not harmed its possible to keep them around as pets. For heartless folk its also possible to turn meeps into living bombs that can be chucked at foes.

Engineers Propose a New ‘Detonating’ Rocket Engine, And It’s as Wild as It Sounds

In the current era of space exploration, the name of the game is “cost-effective”. By reducing the costs associated with individual launches, space agencies and private aerospace companies (aka NewSpace) are ensuring that access to space is greater.

  And when it comes to the cost of launches, the single greatest expense is that of propellant. To put it simply, breaking free to Earth’s…

Austin bombings: Suspect dead after detonating device, police say

Media caption“The suspect is deceased,” says police chief Brian Manley

A suspect linked with a series of deadly parcel bombs targeting Austin, Texas, is dead after a major police operation, officials say.

The suspect was killed after detonating a device when officers approached his car off an interstate highway in the Round Rock area of the state capital.

FBI agents are reportedly now carrying out an investigation at the scene.

The incident follows four bomb attacks in Austin, the state capital, and one in Schertz, 65 miles (104km) south.

How did events unfold?

Late on Tuesday, the Austin police department used footage from a FedEx store on Brodie Lane in south Austin to identify the suspect.

After using the Google search engine to gather information on the suspect’s online browsing history, which showed searches on facilities which were used to ship packages, authorities later managed to locate his vehicle.

In the early hours of Wednesday, police and federal officers then took up positions around a parking area belonging to a hotel in Round Rock.

As they waited for tactical teams to arrive, the vehicle started to drive away, forcing officers to pursue it.

When the vehicle eventually pulled over, armed officers approached, but the suspect then detonated a bomb, injuring one officer and causing another to open fire.

Police later confirmed that it was the blast that killed the suspect, who they said could not be named until he was positively identified and the next of kin had been informed.

Austin police chief Brian Manley said that local residents should “remain vigilant”, and urged anyone who noticed a suspicious package to contact the authorities.

“We don’t know where the suspect has been over this past 24 hours,” he said, adding that it was possible that additional devices may have been distributed.

Mr Manley also praised his colleagues in a tweet. “I can’t thank the men and women of #AustinPD or our Federal partners enough for their tireless work in restoring peace to our community,” he said.

Earlier, CCTV images of a “person of interest” were shared on US media showing a white male with blond hair carrying a number of large packages at a FedEx store in Austin.

Austin has been on edge amid the attacks, which have led to the deployment of hundreds of police officers to the city.

Two people have been killed and six injured in the bombings.
