Theosophs+EoT+7

Theosophs(Exthalion) MIL: ++ Clearing land of monsters and the like. ++ Mutual defense pacts. This covers only those people who are also contributing to my defense. Which might just be Loki’s Brigade at this point. If the UGS are doing it then respond in kind. Also, Transylvania mentioned them might be doing the same. + Anti Othar operations.

ECON: ++ Joint Project with Bulgaria. Also, send them this message and if they agree please implement it, “Since we seem to have lost Greece we suggest that the two of us simply split the rewards between ourselves. They got tired of waiting for a profit and have pulled out.” + Joint project with Loki’s Brigade only on the assumption they are still working on it. If not, just move it to my big project. +++++ +++++ - Put the floating city plans on hold. Since my technology is not where I thought it was I suppose we will have to do some more work. I suppose the econ portion of this is grants to research institutions and Sparky corporations.

Continue Imperium Development. In this round, besides getting shardplate and infusion to where I wanted them at the start, I have thought up some other affiliated technologies to go with them. These are in the order my slightly odd mind envisioned them not in the order of ease or likelihood.

Entanglement communication: As evidenced by shardplates ability to “grow” from a small shard if enough Vril energy is applied, the individual pieces remain whole through the n-space where most of their mass was folded. This device consists two pieces of loadstone shaped like platonic solids. The greater the number of faces or edges, in general the better it works. Faces provide ‘bandwidth’ and edges provide clarity. Each device has a non-malignant imperium shard shaped like the dual of the loadstone. So the cube loadstone has an octahedron shaped piece of imperium in it. The constant exposure to Vril by both stones, which are calibrated to be exactly equal, means that they are both being broken down and reformed on the other side. This constant transmission of mass allows vibration to be carried through the link from one stone to another. In short, it is an instantaneous message system that is impossible to intercept. Quartz inclusions in the loadstone mean the vibrations can be produced electrically since quartz is piezoelectric.

Electro-Magnetic Resonance solidified energy construction: Remember that bit about Imperium working because of shaped internal structure? This technology uses induced magnetic fields along with immense prior infusion of material to restructure the infused substance into almost any imaginable shape through precision control of EM fields to shape the potential growth of the Vril contained in the infused substance. So I get some slag and infuse it heavily. Then using a tiny piece of it as a seed I grow it into any shape I want. The beauty of this is that it isn’t a one shape kind of thing. This will allow structures and large machines to reconfigure themselves at need according to the inbuilt limitations of the design. This isn’t omni-variable. When something is designed all the potential shapes of its material are ‘programmed’ into the structure. Take for example a normal two feet thick solid stone/quartz theosophy door. When the door needs to be there, it is there. When it needs to open the material of the door is pulled through the facility through micro channels using seed shards of the material. A door is a petty use though. Take for example a warship. During combat it can partially reconfigure itself, say turning crew quarters into power conduits.

http://parkablogs.com/content/book-r...-of-darksiders at around 00:25 on the right page there is a picture showing what this would look like. It is the one that shows several increasingly solid versions of the same object where the previous ones were more glowy.

Imperium Reactor: Draining Imperium of energy stops or slows its growth or renders it into inert water. However, if you can time the energy drain with the growth rate you can have a potentially indefinite source of energy. A specially shaped Imperium rod is encased in a gold/iron sheath. High energy draining technologies at one end extract Vril from the Imperium at a fixed rate. The mundane water left behind is then cycled around to the back of the tube where it is converted into more imperium. By keeping most of the Imperium rod in the sheath the energy drained is low. By extruding them it is faster. Thus the reactor has a variable power rate.

Trans-Imperium: A derivation of the growth microstructure of Vril Ice, Trans-Imperium occurs when high concentrations of pure Imperium have been left without anything to convert for a while. The energy building up in the center of the mass causes the contained Vril to resonate around until the Imperium micro structures changes yet again. This new form is a nearly perfect crystal (in the thermodynamic sense). Because of its extraordinarily regular and repeating structure obscene quantities of Vril energy become contained within it. Imperium appears to glow blue because light passing through it is changed by the Vril to a higher energy level. Trans-Imperium appears to glow violet even in the reddest light for a similar reason. The one property it does not have is Imperiums malignancy. In fact it stops Imperium growth to some extent. Even though it contains huge quantities of Vril within it, its structure is optimized for internal reflectivity and containment. Because imperium is more of a cosmic antenna, absorbing ambient Vril as opposed to generating it Trans-Imperium will fill up over time if drained and releases a small (compared to normal Imperium) fraction of its Vril at a more or less constant rate once full. However, because of how much Vril it contains and how dense Trans-Imperium is to regular imperium it forms a cyst of non-malignant Imperium around itself. Because this cyst lacks Imperiums growth designed microstructure it does not grow and is more or less equivalent to normal Theosoph Vril Ice. Trans-Imperium is immune to Imperium corruption itself as is its cyst. This is because the micro bursts of Vril Imperium uses to grow are lower in energy then the amount put out by Trans Imperium.

Imperium Exsplosives: Just because no good mad scientist doesn’t have some form of super explosive. This is essentially a chunk of Imperium attached to a very specific harmonic resonance generators. When set to detonate the generator activates and the Imperium dumps all of its Vril energy at once. As shown by Castle Heterodyne in the comic, this energy is, in and of itself, not fatal or evil since the castle converts it to energy without being more insane then any old and sentient clank. It is bad to drink the stuff because then the Vril is contained in water which the body can absorb. This is just a very good bomb. Also, a more sophisticated version for other uses: A harmonic generator that does greater radius bursts. That would allow cheaper Imperium shards to be used as projectiles which are then induced to explode.

MOR: ++- Loki rehabilitation. As I explained in WO this is to try to offset my WO loss by actually rehabilitating them. Fluff it as similar to what I said to Bulgaria, getting the least evil ones away from the bad environment.

SPK: OOC note: My 1 point of random growth went here ++ Loki joint project. Same conditions as the econ. +++++ ++++ See the large econ project.

ESPD: ++++ Anti Othar operations. Remember that lure him into a deserted village thing? Since you won’t just let me knock him out and dip him in a vat of molten iron, see if I can’t deflect him to someone else.

ESPO: - Anti Othar operations.

WO: ++ I know I am going to take a hit for working with Loki… But see if I can’t counter that somewhat by stressing the fact that I am trying to rehabilitate them. Incidentally, try to rehabilitate them.

OOC: Bulgaria never got back to me.

The Theosophs wish to continue the fuel sequestration project they were working on with you before. Everything appears to be going fine, and several advancements were made. Giving the Theosophs another + econ out of the remaining ++ that you agreed would go to them. However it eventually becomes apparent that the plants the Theosophs have been using to filter the air of pollutants have begun growing out of control and at alarming rates. They rapidly deplete the nutrients that were being provided for them and begin growing towards the nearest other source, the researchers tending them.

Bulgaria is somewhat iffy about this. They feel that if you're worried that you couldn't handle it you shouldn't have started the accord in the first place. Also your little note about sharing profits is putting them off. If you really meant what you said about doing this out of the goodness of your hearts to rehabilitate Europa's pirate, then why do you care about profits at all. Nevertheless they have decided to help you. Whatever you put towards rehabilitating the Loki Brigade they will match.
