GateKeeper Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Got my taste of how dangerous my work can be today. The facility hasn't even been setup yet but they had me bring in a hot op today. I found out the hard way that bullets and other bad things can pass both ways through the gate. Anyone know if I can filter what I want to come through and what I don't? If not I am keeping my lily white ass behind the damn blast shield at all time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kestrel404 Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 I have attempted semi-permeable forcefields before, and it's not incredibly difficult if you're willing to expend the effort and the extra energy.I would think you would have to try before you opened the gate, though. And attempting to add such features every time you open a gateway would likely both drain you quickly and lead to the unfortunate side effect of quantum backlash.You might try learning to generate a personal protection forcefield (or area protection, which I've encountered in other novas before). Or find a way to become bulletproof.I rather doubt that our paradigms are similar enough to give you advice on how to learn, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magus Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 The will of a nova when augmented by the node can accomplish apparently anything the human mind can conceive of. Oh there's always that bit of discussion on bringing people back from the dead and what not but those are emotionally charged issues and usually filled with logical flaws. In short, there is no physical reason you couldn't filter what is and is not allowed to pass through.Having said that, it occurs to me that you are still very much at the base of the learning curve, Gatekeeper. Stay behind the blast shield for now. Bring a book. Start some college courses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vox Via Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Well, I found the easiest way to prevent objects from coming at me threw gates is to bend gravity in such away that the mater coming from the gate is never facing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Craft Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 In the end, I'd say that the blast shield is a pretty good option. I mean, you can always learn a new superpower that lets you block bullets. However, you can also screw up when trying to use said ability. A couple inches of armor is something you can count on.

Magus Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 The general consensus appears to be that blast shields are a good option to have.Next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
