Dr. Arcturus Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 I'm struggling, and racked with agony. I feel him, almost every moment of the day, trying to break out into the world. My life has been hell for the past month, and I can only see it getting worse. I found out, recently, that I have another personality. This being is completly different from me, right down to DNA and power expression."How different can I be from the other me?", you might ask. I am an Elite speedster; Quantum Promise created an entire universe.Loathe was I to find this monster had actually been to this board, talking to my friends. Much more loathesome, however, were the terrible changes he forced upon the world: The period of 24 hours, whereby all Japanese citizens underwent eruptions of massive intensity; The unholy act of sinking the entire shelf of California into the surrounding Pacific. Worse yet, Quantum Promise dismantled his universe, filled to the brim with countless lives, when he had a sudden period of "Enlightenment", a tradition of the Teragen. He wants to come out, I can feel it in my bones. I need your help for, if I cant supress Quantum Promise.....I may not be able to stop him, this time.

Fortune's Son Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 I feel your pain, Strobe. And you're right; the problem is very bad. You're an elite, pretty callous and a badass so I'm not going to sugar coat this for you. You get it right between the eyes. The node is talking to me and it says Quantum Promise isn't a second personality. You are. I'm sorry, dude. You must have suspected though.[ 04-12-2002: Message edited by: Jack Chance ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashnod Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 Well hon, I am assuming you mean Quantum Promise destroyed California and wrecked Japan in his universe, because in this one, they are quite intact.But since you said he dismantled "his universe," a specific modifer that does not exist in the previous descriptions of disaster, I am assuming you mean that he destroyed California and Japan in this one.Therefore, hon, while I don't really have any fear of Quantum Promise hurting this universe, I can understand why you'd want to be rid of the delusion of another being inside you. After all, not only are you delusional that he is real, his delusions are becoming yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex McKenzie Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 Well, Strobe, I can't help you. Fortunately, I know someone who can...I know a doctor who specialises in Para-psychiatric treatment. His name is Dr. Leon Kopulski, and he runs a nova Mental Institute in Chicago, I believe Sydney may have mentioned it. I've informed him of your situation, and he believes he may be able to help you. You'll have to go there yourself, and it may take some time for the treatment to be successful.Of course, Jack may be right, you know. The Dominant personality isn't always the original one...

Dr. Arcturus Posted April 13, 2002 Author Share Posted April 13, 2002 NO!!!!!I cant accept that Im the Other!What the hell makes you all so damned sure?! How CAN I BE the Other? I have all of my memories, my scars, everything!That damndable MONSTER destroyed an entire reality. I have a hard time taking out some of the people I do in during assignment.Christ, I just had a thought.If what your saying is true, that it is actually ME who is the Other, and I remember regaining consciousness just after Quantum Promise lapsed into that whole "Enlightenment" thing......Shit. If its true, what if Quantum Promise is undergoing Chrysalis......AND IM THE COCOON?!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 Well, its looking like it sucks to be you Strobe. Heres another twist for you to think on.What if neither of you are the original core personality? What if QP is some maniacal alter ego of some poor shlub who couldn't deal with his eruption and as a defense, he (or she for that matter) created you?You know, we still haven't got any proof that QP actually did any of those things he claimed. Could all be the figment of someones imagination now couldn't it?Makes you question everything now doesn't it? I mean, if your not really you, what else isn't real? Yah, I'd have to say it really must suck to be you right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugin Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 Well, Strobe what you claim is possible. Not likely, but possible.For one thing, even though there are several Novas on this forum who make it their business to stay on top of current events in the world none of us have ever come across corraborating proof of Quantum Promise's claims. If they truly happened this seems unlikely.However, one thing you have mentioned does pique my curiousity. Where did you hear of Chrysalis? I had to become friendly with Terats of fairly deep knowledge before I had enough understanding of what Chrysalis was before I would have been able to make the assumption you make. You've never claimed Terat affiliation yet you possess this chunk of information? Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Arcturus Posted April 13, 2002 Author Share Posted April 13, 2002 I have been an outspoken terat for....well, Id like to say "for some time", but all of the sudden, Im not certain of anything anymore. I prefer to keep my contact's identities secret though, as revealing their names would most likely compromise their standing in some circles, given my current situation. Alex, I would like to meet this paraphysician of yours, as soon as possible. I can be anywhere he is at a moments notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex McKenzie Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 Strobe, if you get control again, He's located in Chicago, Illinois (about 2 blocks away from the Rashoud Facility).

Sakurako Hino Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 This... is some spooky s#!t. One step beyond...I've heard theories though. If Novas influence things on the quantum, they may be able to create another universe, and if they do so it may be possible for a nova from THAT universe to come here. Perhaps a monster like the one mentioned by our poor speedster. This possibility sends shivers down my spine. I'm suprised VB is rooting this... Entity on. It'd probably lay the smackdown on him in 3 seconds if it is truely the BAD@$$ that it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jager Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 Has anyone else heard of a phenomenon called THES (Tran dimensional Hyper-Extension Syndrome)? It theorizes that our reality (time included) is elastic, and if enough power was exerted in space/time, reality could be temporarily altered. When the energy that created it dissipated, the alteration would fall back in on itself. It would appear to the outside world that the "event' never happened. Only properly protected devices (and people) would be able to record the "event' and provide any proof that the event happened. Normal, physical evidence would revert to its “pre-event” state. Strangely, a Dr. F. Dixon came up with this in 1928. It's in the Univ. of Chicago, Ill. Archives in the American Science Journals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teknokat Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 Wow, a genuine Dixon article? Jager, do you realise how much of a find you have there? I've been searching for the past 3 months for articles from this guy, I've found maybe 5. This guy was supposed to be one of the Greatest of the greats in early Energetic Physics, if some of these History books are to be believed, yet he seemed to put out a disturbingly low amount of information out to the scientific public.In fact, a lot of so-called Luminaries of that period seem to have rather low output levels. Quite interesting, all things considered... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugin Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 Teknokitty, I took your advice and started looking into this strange little field of study that you are so fascinated in. I find it quite disconcerting having to physically hunt down evidence, as you are quite right, papers and reports of this type seem to have been scrubbed from the OpNets, or, to have never even made it to the OpNets. You've been luckier than I though. In the last few months I have only found two works. One by Dixon and one by an individual whose sense of ego would rival any of ours, a gentleman with the unlikely moniker of Dr. Primoris. As much as I have searched I can't seem to find anything more on Primoris, do you know anything of him? Was it perhaps a pen name of someone else?The articles are quite interesting however, they still are based in a time period where their understandings of the basics of science were quite limited. I see remarkable theories but the science used to back them up is shaky. However, they are still compelling.Jager, I was unaware that you enjoyed hunting down old papers on theoretical physics. A new hobby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 Technokat, if your feeling brave, try cracking open that scanner you have and take a look at the power source. I'm betting you'll find one of two things. It is either a small crystalline structure hooked up with electrodes and copper wiring or its an aluminum cylinder. Inside that cylinder you'll find a crystalline latice suspended in a metallic ion solution. both can generate unusually high levels of power despite their small size. I don't know why they work the way they do, but they do work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jager Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 James, my business is information, don't ya know? As for the Dixon article, it seems that someone removed the 'substitute' I put in its place (thus my posting of its location here). I was going to show it to a friend of Wizard, before things went south between us.Would you like to take a look? Does this have anything to do with Strobe's dilemma? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teknokat Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 Prodigy: It's not the field of study I'm interested in, truth be told. It's mostly the lack of a scientific field at that point in time that's interesting to me, if you get my meaning. I doubt they're pen-names, for the simple reason that the few card-indices that are still around in the older university libraries usually list known pen-names of given scientists. Dixon is not even there. Although, Primoris seems to have links to several Pen-names, oddly enough. Remind me to send you the alias card...Jordan/Jack I ain't stupid, twice: Number one I have scanners that can do the same thing without me cracking it open, and Number two, doing that would rob me of a rather valuable resource (ie my ZWIR!).Although, do you have any idea how hard it is to duplicate those little power cells? For that matter, do you realise how hard it is to duplicate some of the weird proto-electronics they used in this stuff? You try mapping out the electronic sheet, and you see jumps everywhere. It shouldn't work, but there it is. And try duplicating the device with modern electronics, and the thing damn near spontaneously combusts!Oh, and my battery seems to be of the crystalline-lattice variety. I'm still physi-searching to see if there are still plans left on how to build them (I've tried using Quantum Batteries with the ZWIR I have working, it just doesn't seem to be compatible).Endeavour: I wouldn't worry. I know what I'm doing. Mostly.Jager: I never knew you were an Information broker. I'd love to know what other articles you have under your hat. Apart from my 5 Dixons, I also have 17 others, and I've managed to infer 39 others from broken references and the like. (Prodigy, are you paying attention?)[ 06-08-2002: Message edited by: Teknokat ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 I have detailed schematics for both the scanner and the Dixon battery. Thats how I know what I'm talking about. Yeah, I know Jack'll criticize me for not being subtle, but screw it.I know what you mean about modernizing the ZWIR, I've tried myself. I want to build one from the original specs but some of these components aren't even made anymore, and I don't have the facilities to make them. Oh well, it has given me great ideas to run with though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teknokat Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 You know Jordan, you could try asking me. Most of the proto-electronic components in my ZWIR are just somewhat improved versions of Vacuum tubes and other equipment, to the point where most machinery can't get the precision right.Fortunately, my company specialises in creating ultra-high-precision monitors and hardware for those Novas who get headaches working with standard equipment. As such, I have manufacturing systems on site that'll let me make this stuff at far above normal spec. I have most of the high-precision components on stock (I had to replace a few of the vacuum tubes a while back, which is not as easy as it sounds when you're talking about ZWIRs).The only components I can't duplicate are the power couplings and the focusing aperature, and that's because the materials used on them seem to have undergone some sort of irradiation or something that have actually altered some of their fundamental properties. I still haven't figured out what the hell the process was, and no substitute I've tried seems to work correctly with it. Fortunately, that same process seems to have given them and extremely long lifespan, and I don't think I'll need to replace them for another 20 years or so. (You're right, the people who made this stuff made it to last lifetimes...)Thus, I'm still stuck with my singular ZWIR. Still, I wouldn't mind looking at the Blueprints for the Dixon cell (Is that what it's called? How about that!). Are you comfortable meeting me at my office? Or would you prefer me fly out?

Hugin Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 Jager-No, I doubt this has anything to do with Strobe. I believe we have just hijacked the thread is all.Jordan-Curious, when did you come across this data. Is this a new interest for you? When you were at my Domicile you seem less interested in the schematics of the things in my workshop than in other things. I would be willing to pay of course for any hard data you've come across.Teknokat-I'd be willing to pay you also, a bit less of course. I believe someone still owes me from a past break in? For future reference, I enjoy sharing my technology, if I don't want to share a specific creation or discovery it is because I have very good reasons. Now, you mentioned something about altered materials? I have quite a bit of experience in dealing with altered atomic structures. I dealth extensively with a former T2M'er by the name of Orion. His specialization was in creating materials based on his imagination. I studied his abilities and have managed to duplicate them and use them with my extensive knowledge of the sciences. Perhaps getting together, we could come up with something. If you would be willing to give me a time and place, quietely of course, we could meet?

Teknokat Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 James, perfectly understood. Next time I'll just ask As for the data, I wouldn't worry about a price. Being able to recreate a ZWIR would be price enough. Being able to create a better one with Modern Tech would be even better.As for Time/Place, I've sent a little attachment.

Jordan Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 Technokat, I call it a Dixon battery 'cause thats what it says on the plans. >shrug< It was probably created by this Prof. Dixon mentioned earlier. I have to think about your offer before I agree to anything.James, A little bird told me all about this stuff. That is my story and I'm sticking to it. As for selling my data, I'm going to have to say no. Aside from my personal reasons for not sharing, you are a card carying member of the Teregen and certain members of you little club have been trying to get this data out of me for a while. Why do you think the Primacy haven't wasted me for the whole Snapdragon incident yet?As for my interest in all things technological, remember what you said about my potential?

Jager Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 I've only got three articles and one set of blueprints by Dixon, but I have a stash of really insane things by a Dr. Geary-Wexler that I dug up in Bolivia. If it wasn't for the Dixon blueprints, I would have just buried the site again. As it is, I'm still trying to make sense of the firearm Dixon was trying to invent. It seems to be a cross between a Hochtkiss Gun and a Hyper-Velocity GyroJet Rifle. Sadly, it seems some cigar ash damaged the blueprints and being buried underground for 80+ years didn't help.Does this mean anything to anybody? I've got the papers stashed away in a safe place and I remember where the site was, if it's important. Really, though it appears to be closer to Post-Industrial Art than anything useful.

Hugin Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 So, Jager, how much to share? Jordan seems intent on keeping his cards close to his chest. How about you? Think of it as a way to make up for the horrifically manipulative way you messed with my life. Or I could just pay you a large sum of cash. I have to admit, coming across this outdated yet innovative technological data is quite exciting. Oh, Jordan, good work with the company. I was aware you had your hand in it, nice to see that it is more than just an investment. Maybe we could get together sometime and go over some possible innovations you'd like to represent?
