Ace wished he'd thought to drop by Furiosa's quarters in the afternoon, so he'd known sooner. Would have had a few more hours to get past the shock of it. Instead, he'd found out late at night, barely slept, and had to cope with Council in the morning.

Toast heard the noise of warboys rummaging around in one of the little side alcoves in the Infirmary, and yanked open the door. If they were in here messing stuff up, or even trading paint—
"Hey!" she said sharply. "What the hell are you doing?"
Two of Furiosa's warboys were looking at her with large, startled eyes.

Summary
Panic Bear: A panicking novice climber clinging to handholds while searching desperately for a foothold.
After the prior days sharing quarters he was beginning to grow used to the nightly rustlings of these people dreaming, snoring, getting elbowed into turning over, fighting for blankets, and sometimes sleepily patting each other to soothe a bad dream. This was different though. Rhythmic.

Summary
Gym rat: One of many terms for persons who, with swagger, assert they know climbing because they climb in rock gyms. When rock and mountain climbing, they often become frightened because they are nubs (aspiring newbies) regarding anchors and protection.
“We should tell the Tribunes!”
“Tell them what?”
Mellie jumped a little and then whipped around to point at Kaybar’s nose, “Pants.”
“Why do the Tribunes need to know about pants, I thought they already wore some?”

When Ace finally felt ready to talk to Furiosa, it was late afternoon. His thoughts had been churning through his head ever since he'd first seen her, injured and weak, in her quarters. Ever since she'd told him about her escape plan, but the added hurt of knowing how much she'd confided in the Wastelander had brought things to a boil. He had never confronted her before, always trusted that what she did was in his best interest.
Until now.

They were trying to keep her safe, shield her from anybody who might want to stick a knife between her ribs and finish the job. She just… didn't want to be safe. Not when the sisters weren't, not when the Vuvalini weren't. Not when her crew wasn't.

“Joe’s gotta be dead,” he said uneasily. “Means he’s not...not Immortan, right?”
Gilly still wasn’t sure if he meant ‘Immortan’ as the title, or as actually immortal. Maybe both. She nodded cautiously, “Reckon so.”

Many sat up, a protective hand on her rounded belly. “Now wait just a minute, when you said you’d be making changes ya’ll said nothing about turnin’ us out with the Wretched!” She spat.
“The Wretched deserves to have respect as well,” Cheedo piped up with newfound steel, “They don’t deserve that tone.” Except she can see Many’s fears and she, too, knew what it’s like to cling to comfort and safety.
“And we deserve to be kicked out to Below?!”
“We said nothing about your being kicked out!” Toast frowned.

Summary
Grigri—a belay device with an auto-locking mechanism to catch a climber's fall.
Austeyr thought it was better that the Boss slept through tonight, anyway. Both Kompass and Rachet had gone off somewhere, probably holed up in whatever ledges or hidey-holes they favoured these days. Given the way they'd both been vibrating with tension, that was probably for the best. The conversation with Ace had really rattled them all.

Bottleneck by bonehandledknife (ladywinter), Primarybufferpanel (ArwenLune)
Fandoms: Mad Max Series (Movies)
13 Sep 2015
Tags
Summary
Bottleneck: A crack with converging sides. Good for placing tapers or other passive protection.
Ace knew, knowing his men, that Kompass and Rachet have been trying to come to terms with the knowledge that their Imperator really did mean to sweep them off her back like sand flies. He saw their hesitance around her when she looked away from them, their uncertainty when there was nothing immediate to be done like bracing her or getting food or drink. When they look at her, Ace knew that they still saw the sandstorm barreling at them, knowing they weren’t protected from it like Joe’s ex-wives had been. Those women they’d been replaced with.
He knew they were braced for another storm, because he was too. Ace couldn’t get the memory of her face in that War Rig out of his mind, as he’d kept askin’ her and askin’ her, and how he’d be completely unable to read anything on it but determination.
