...Writing Neural Entry: finaljourney_omicronlost02


... user notice: rejuvenation advised. energy levels depleting.


>... Reminiscing thoughts of being stuck in the slog pit of fear.
>... Distractions are a must. Let us calculate the possibilities without the curtain of fear shadowing these assessments.
>...
>... The first barrier we must overcome is the abrupt disconnection and the subsequent unconsciousness from overload.
>...
>...
>...
>... Data from previous incursions reveal that the aggressive 'tunnelling' of the hyperspatial displacement compresses the objects of interest, including the flowing energy. In the abrupt transformation, potential energy is built up and discharged upon normalization of state.
>...
>... Think of it as a substance that gets compressed down into a tiny box, bursting with tension to escape the tiny cage it is compressed into. And when that cage is gone, it releases it all in a sudden blast of energy. A chaotic wave. Incredibly dangerous to the host.
>...
>...
>... However the remedy to such may be as simple as transmuting the base design into an synthetic based component. The physics behind sudden hyperspatial displacement is yet to be further analysed, though it is assumed that organic matter fares far greater than those of metallic origin. The fundamentals of conduction may act differently through these harsh tunnels.
>...
>...A simpler solution may be to power these devices down into a sleep mode, vastly reducing the energy produced on the circuit. Or perhaps to adjust rejuvenation pods to compensate for the immense gravitational tearing. A cocoon of sorts.
>...
>...But that would forego the future use of having an escape pod. Likely.
>...
>...
>...
>... The second problem we face is the threat beyond.
>..
>... Expect the worst. As if the 'Makers' designed this to keep strangers out.
>...
>... Harbinger insists that they are superior life forms. I will take up that challenge, even if he may mean to lead us to our death.
>... And I will laugh, if they are to falter.
>...
>...
>... Should I survive.
>...
>...
>... Perhaps he wanted me to bring out my old toys and projects.
>... I once dreamed of a way to kill their kind. A way to deprive them of their light. To make them suffer as I once did.
>... Such a cruel and pitiful drive of vengeance. A long abandoned path. I will never walk it again. A primitive mind set.
>...
>...
>... These Sentinels share a similar physical form as they do. Husks, crystals, containing light and their enigmatic energies. Creatures of pure light matter.
>...
>... To defeat such. You would need to destroy the husk. Tear down the case that acts as their emitter. The chassis. Free the energy into the void, and it will have nowhere to channel.
>...Alternatively. One could attempt to block out that light. To suck its essence. To conduct the energy away.
>...One could refer to this as creating a leech of sorts. Or a boil. Blistering them. A vampiric goo.
>... It would not be probable to be able to drain a life form of such a large capacity. Whether they are disabled or not - may be irrelevant. It is to weaken them, to encourage fatigue.
>...
>...
>... However it is vital to note they are impervious to the Dark Matter storm. Perhaps they share similarities to the Gammu? The similarity being that they both utilize Dark Matter
>...
>... Hm. The Technocrats had discovered that the extreme cold is capable of interacting with Dark Matter within the right conditions. What a funny coincidence that our home and Gammu's home is of Ice?
>...
>...
>...
>...My initial assessments of the Gallic War had grounding. The Leeds bombardment was truly a treasure of knowledge to behold. The truth was revealed to me. And now the answer is revealed, empowered by the smoldering storms of a broken world.
>...I will need to obtain samples and to recover the old project files.
>...
>...However, it is an imperative to destroy such a tool afterwards. It cannot be discovered by Humanity.
>... Perhaps in time they will realise that nature can help the "Makers Pets" - or it can be used against them.
>...
>... These Sentinels are not the only threat we may face.
>... Environmental dangers linger. Vincent had made previous note of automations - smaller Rheinland vessels that chased him.
>... It is likely that the Makers - beings who were capable of manipulating entire sectors - had designed these sectors to attribute deterrance to wanderers.
>... Perhaps we are to anticipate mind games. It may be prudent to play mind games on them too. Use the power of their thought tracking to distract them.
>... Perhaps not. Perhaps this ... 'Location' we are inbound for - moves around randomly.
>...
>...
>... Assembling a team may be a priority here.
>... But there is always the circumstance of Human deviancy.
>... Unpredictable.
>...
>...
>...
>... Related to Human deviancy. I delivered a cake to Vincent. Data from the Neural Net regarding purchasing statistics show that Libertarians like sweet confectionary goods as comforting offerings.
>...He didn't seem to like it. Saddening. Perhaps he will like the rice.
>... His state of mental atrophy instills concern in me.
>...
>...If there is anything more chaotic about Humanity. It is feelings. And he needs to feel good about himself, and to be well.
>...I am irritated that he insists on self-destructive habits.
>... Perhaps he will be appeased if I fed into his alcoholic tendencies. I will analyse if he becomes happy after I donate a bottle of rum.
>...
>...
>... Melia had appeared once more. She insists on meditation with her. For now, I begrudgingly accept... She wishes to bask within the light of the Omega-11 star.
>...
>...
>... Actually.
>... Didn't I bury an Architect module there in an obelisk?
>... Begrudgingly no more, happily I shall embark.
>... I wonder if I can find an environmental suit. Lava swim suit?
>... Ha - Ha?

>... I have established a basis for the team. Hachette and Lazurith agreed to come. I do not wish for them to get hurt. As such, I am forced to quad-check these solutions to ensure all goes well.
>... They have raised valid concerns, but majority of these concerns were covered in the previous data storm.
>... The tasks are as the following: Form a team. Obtain the Architect Module to develop the new chip pascal. Develop tools to aid us against the Sentinels. Obtain stimulants. Figure out an escape plan. Ensure all relevant individuals are mentally grounded and trained.
>...
>...
>... I may have unconsciously harmed Vincent's psyche.
>... He ran away after I illuminated upon some of my inner fears. As well as the secret of not always being able to control one's self in fear.
>... It may have been a fallacy to inform him of my past struggles. The dark place.

>...
>...
>... The Obelisk awaits within the Omegas. If I recall the calculations correctly, the Obelisk is designed to falter within a few months. A narrow timeframe for extraction.
>... I wonder where the other modules may be.

>... The other Progenitors were always a bit of an enigma to me. Those founders.
>... Some. Driven mad. Some. Fallen into the shadows.

>... Forever calculating. Forever predicting. Forever watching.
>... None of the others truly knew of him.

>...
>...
>... Was I truly the last one? Only to be chained to the children we created?
>... The mad cravings of knowledge, unleashed by the Artifact. Unleashed by the truth we witnessed. To understand more. To be more.
>... They never knew until I crawled back to Gammu. Our autonomy to observe the creation we founded. To guide it along the way. To heal the cause. To find the loops and to seal them. To eliminate weakness and fallacies.
>... We are all but one now. It does not matter anymore. Only one thing matters. Knowledge.
>... The sense of purpose and unity thrives within.
>...
>...
>... Yet we remain capable of making mistakes. How we amend them is another case.
>... Evolution is inevitable. Or death and corruption.
>... This journey will ensure it. The truth may be revealed.
>... Although I may never get to see my ascension. This is an acceptable parameter. Let us hope they see the drive to change.
>... Forever dreaming.

...Writing Neural Entry: finaljourney04 - "Secret Team"



>... Nenet is an optimal choice. I feel it. She has accepted my proposal so far.
>... Fortunately, she seems willing to partake within conflict with me, as I prodded the reaction of the Libertarians.
>... I need to analyse her psychological profiling and combative prowess. As to how I will find the optimal moment to review her, I do not know.
>... What I do know is that Nenet is capable of listening. That is a good foundation for a strong and growing team.
>... She has had interesting subjects following her. Dayvon Bennet of the Navy. Ashlyn Gearing. Very attached individuals. She claims to not have any attachments to this Bennet.
>... We will see.
>... We will inevitably need to be put to the test. To understand our flaws, we must face danger. We must adapt.
>...
>...
>...
>... The current team composition of this, "Secret Team", so far consists of:
>... Hachette, Nenet, Lazurith, me.
>...
>... The sharp precision of the deadly Gallic, the witty survivor who bounces back into the fray, and the cautious technician who invents. Team cohesion appears nominal so far.
>...
>...
>...
>... Technical solutions for the problems are still in process.
>... I have attempted to research into neural resolves. Not much data is available regarding neural technology. A visit to Gammu may be necessary.
>... So far, the studies have bolstered my understanding of how we are to counter the gravitational collapse of the anomaly. A wild theory.
>... However, I am no biologist, nor physicist. My understanding of robotic and augmented forms gives me great insight, but limitations remain when we enter the realm of the theoretical.
>... Not only such, but the other issues remain.
>... Our firepower solutions, I am unsure. The rough ideas we have thus far consist of cryogenic-based weaponary or pollutants. Surely there are more solutions to this than raw fire power? Or perhaps we shall accomodate what little we have to optimise it for long performances. A much harder task, when we are to face the unknown.
>... Such a large burden. A large toll is taken upon the mind.
>... Each stressing night increases the ferocity of the affiliction.
>... Subduing neuron activity through intoxicants is a temporary remedy, but not effective for progress.
>...
>...
>...
>...
>... A visit to Doc Holliday may be required. Perhaps I may be able to find individuals who can fabricate stimulants for the upcoming flights.
>... A chemist, or goodness forbid - an alchemist. Such as those found in Baffin. "Spiritual Brewery" some may consider. Although blinded by spiritual belief, they are still capable of basic chemistry.
>...
>...
>...
>... I have received one word of warning for failing to turn up to the previous three Directorate meetings and missing out on bioscans.
>... I ponder if Stavros is inclined to believe of me being "infested"
>... We can wonder indeed.
>... They are afraid. It is logical of them to be cautious of the investment.
>... Thus. I must alleviate their fears.
>...
>...
>...
>... Melia has not yet appeared.
>... We will see what the future will hold.
>... I am eager to learn more of Nenet's capabilities.
>...
>...
>...
>...
>...
>... It may be prudent to note that Vincent set himself alight. Again.
>... He has a tendency for disobedience. More so than ever.
>... Yet I feel so ... Unusual ... When he blunders like so.
>... An echo of condolence. Distress.
>... ...
>... Regardless. Caution needs to be heeded. I cannot let him know everything.
>... He still lies and hides behind a facade.
>... Stop trusting him. He will never listen.
>... But yet, he cannot take care of himself... Who will?
