The Xavier Institute (X-men) vs Hogwarts (Harry Potter)
Main Post:
All the students and teachers of each school battle in a fight to the death. Who comes out on top? Dumbledore is still headmaster of hogwarts. The mutants academy is the one seen at the end of Days of Future Past.
Round 1: The mutants attack Hogwarts. (Without the anti muggle wards.)
Round 2: The wizards attack the Xavier Institute
Round 3: Only the students fight in an abandoned castle.
Bonus Round: Voldemort and his death eaters vs Magneto and his mutants.
Edit: Disclude the anti-muggle wards in hogwarts.

The mutants actually fight and have telepaths so easy win for rounds 2 and 3, round 1 the wizards win easy though as the mutants fail completely in the face of all the anti-muggle and related wards.
For the bonus I don't know, while the mutants have some powerful members depending on the cast the wizards are all ranged teleporters that have an wide arsenal of one hits that will ignore any boosted durability they've got. Given an average guess at power levels and only the more notable members of each I'll go Voldemort, even excepting the horcruxes they have better average mobility and firepower without even resorting to any aoe stuff or having Voldemort spam his building busting instakills. Plus they have a higher arrogance and racism then the mutants and are much more likely to escalate to lethal force faster than Magneto and the brotherhood which regularly show restraint from the murder torture death thing the Death Eaters like so much.

So pretty! It would work beautifully with the Yoseka x Sailor pen collab that I am trying desperately not to buy!
[FO4] Institute too bright
Main Post:
For some reason, the Institute is WAYYYYY too bright, and looks like this. Does anyone know how to fix this? I don't have any mods that alter lighting, so IDK what it could be aside from a setting.

I had to drop Nac-X because of lighting issues in Institute. Do you know if there's a fix for that?

Hey /x/, let's talk about Battelle Memorial Institute and UFOs. Battelle's this huge non-profit organization based in Ohio. They're a 501c3, but they're not your typical charity. They're into all sorts of scientific and tech research, and they handle labs for the Department of Energy. Despite being a non-profit, they pull in a whopping 6.1 billion in revenue. Makes you wonder, right?
Battelle is classified under the Atomic Secrets Classification system, which is outside of the Executive and State Department. Because it's a 501(c)(3), it's not subject to >Freedom of Information (FOI) requests and operates outside the normal channels of government and business.
Now comes this guy named David Charles Grusch who's been stirring the pot stating that the U.S. government and defense contractors have been picking up pieces of non-human tech for years. He's talking about stuff that's out of this world, literally and figuratively.
So, where does Battelle fit into all this? Well, if Grusch is right and there's alien tech to be studied, who better than a major scientific research institute like Battelle?
What if Battelle isn't just a research institute? What if they're a shadow agency, working behind the scenes on stuff that's way out there?
Think about it. Battelle's got their fingers in a lot of pies. They're handling labs for the Department of Energy, they're pulling in billions in revenue, and they're involved in all sorts of advanced research. And they're a non-profit, which means they don't have to answer to shareholders, goverment bureocracy or worry about making a profit. They can focus on the research.
Give the threads a read. It has some wild stuff in it.

This is so not new, but as close a smoking gun to the recent headlines,... ROSWELL, BATTELLE, & MEMORY METAL: The New Revelations.
TLDR: In summary form, the story about Battelle, Nitinol and Roswell is this:
- In the months immediately following the Roswell crash, the Air Force contracted Battelle Memorial Institute to perform first-ever work on novel Titanium alloys. This included work on development of Titanium and Nickel alloy – the basis for "memory metal" today, and similar to some of the debris reported at Roswell.
- Four Wright-Patterson sponsored technical studies on "memory metal" in later decades cited a 1949 Battelle report on Nickel and Titanium (NiTi) alloy. Nickel and Titanium are used to create "Nitinol" – the premiere "memory metal" on the planet. The fact that the 1949 report was referenced in shape-recovery alloy research years later shows that somehow the Battelle report had a direct application and association to the memory metal subject. An earlier 1948 report was also uncovered that dealt with similar materials issues.
- The Battelle study was conducted under secret contract and was directed by Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Wright-Patterson is the very base to which the Roswell debris was reportedly flown.
- The Battelle study was co-authored by a Battelle scientist who later confessed that he had personally analyzed ET debris from a fallen UFO while at the Institute. That he was a co-author of the Battelle 1949 study was discovered many years after the scientist's confession, when the Battelle reports were obtained under FOIA.
- Wright-Patterson General Arthur Exon confirmed that he understood that some of the Roswell debris included an alloy comprised of "specially processed Titanium" and another metal. Exon said that a battery of tests was performed and that the reports on this are "still around." This mirrors the Battelle work. Another USAF General, George Schulgen, wrote a secret draft memo four months after the Roswell crash on UFOs – including a section on their "Items of Construction." Schulgen mentions "composite construction" using a "combination of metals" using "unusual fabrication methods." Schulgen is speaking of what we today call "intermetallics" – and Nitinol is a perfect example of intermetallics.
- The Battelle scientist who worked on this late 1940's report (who later had confessed that he had analyzed ET debris) was supervised by one Dr. Howard Cross. Dr. Cross (a metallurgist and Titanium expert who worked closely with the Navy where Nitinol was "officially" discovered) was also a secret UFO researcher for the Air Force's Project Blue Book and a secret UFO document called the "Pentacle Memo." He was also called upon to investigate other cases of unknown fallen debris and had unusual access to the heads of the CIA, the Air Force and the predecessor organization to NASA.
- Nitinol's "official" history is false. The year of its discovery is unclear; different reasons were offered as to why it was developed; and there are different explanations given for the circumstances surrounding its discovery at the US Naval Lab. The official "co-inventor" of Nitinol was interviewed by this author and was cagey about several matters related to the development of the material. This co-inventor was found to have been involved in bizarre "Mind over Matter" tests in which a key Naval scientist had recruited psychic Uri Geller to try to get Geller to "bend the metal with his mind." The elderly Nitinol scientist was silent when I mentioned the Roswell impetus for his work and said "I have no comment on that. I am not going to discuss it." He may not have direct knowledge, but he must surely have wondered. He agreed that he was given a Battelle 1949 report with a phase diagram for use in the study of Nitinol, but would not disclose who in military or intelligence gave it to him. It has recently been learned that through theoretical physicist Dr. Jack Sarfatti that Eldon Byrd, the scientist who did the Nitinol Mind-over-Matter experiments with the co-inventor of Nitinol, "got into trouble and nearly got his ass handed to him on a platter by the administration of the Naval Surface Warfare Center for publicizing the laboratory connection with the experiments." Sarfatti made this incredible statement in an e-mail to researcher Bruce Maccabee found archived on the Net dated March 15, 2006.
- Battelle seemed to control the fate of Nitinol after its "discovery" at the US Naval Labs. NASA – working with Battelle – also has been shown to have immediately taken over direction of further "characterization" studies of the material (a fact that Wang's Nitinol co-inventor, William Buehler, complained about in an oral history). Uri Geller himself told me that NASA personnel were also present at the laboratory when the Navy was testing him on Nitinol mind-bending.
