Research your suspicions. ALL of them!
Wich means, mostly indulge in the suspicions about the different Doctors, and if there are some documented cases on that "Anomaly" they try to trick you with. Oh no, not with this man, dear "friends".
You search for information about Maria, Delver, Frankenstein and Strangelove.
Results for Maria and Professor Delver dont turn up anything you didn't already know about them, although you find amusement in the fact that Maria's file includes the very close, sisterly relations between yourself and Maria. For Frankenstein, there are a few blacked out parts and blocked web-pages, indicative of military involvement. Other than that, there doesn't not seem to be much you didn't know about him. You learn't that he works closely with the military and the government when not part of your little team.
Whilst you would like to know what he works on, it is highly unlikely you would be able to gain access to the right files.
Strangelove, however, does turn up some interesting things. Many of his files are blacked out or highly classified. Many more show inconsistencies and signs of editing. The files relating to his work at Luna-3 are very patchy, but you do gleam some information from them.
Apart from the usual black ops tech such as weapons, drugs etc Dr Strangelove also worked on weapons of mass destruction based on biochemical substances and nano-machines. One bizarre weapon was planned to use nano-machines to turn every person of a specific race into low IQ bimbos. Another terrible weapon used a variety of biological and chemical substances to melt the person, whilst using various aspects of nano-tech to keep them alive as long as possible, effectively torturing to death entire races.
Other research projects were based around cybernetics and various types of banned genetic modification, many of which made you squirm in disgust at what was planned.
You are completely shocked. Research into these types of weapons are thoroughly banned in Vanguard Law. Not even one loop hole remains. From the files, you see that an investigation regiment went there and shut it down, destroying all evidence. You were about to move on, when something caught your eye.
Project Doppelganger.
You open the files. Remarkably, they aren't blacked out or edited in any way. That in itself is suspicious. You start reading.
Project Doppelganger: Ultimate Espionage by Dr S.R. Strangelove
As i write this, Vanguard is expanding rapidly into space. The council races see us as upstarts, inferior. They plan to thwart us at every move. They are even succeeding in certain respects. This cannot continue.
I propose a project that would allow the subjects involved to take on any form and/or personality the research team, or whoever is using the technology, wishes. The Subject would be completely re-written. In their view, they ill have been who they were created to be for their entire lives. Memories will be <DATA CORRUPT>
Shocked, you scan a bit further down. You meet another <DATA CORRUPT> warning. Strange. It seems to have fully loaded when you looked at the whole file.
Puzzled, you exit the file.
'How can a file that was created during the hey-day of Luna-3 have survived the purge committed on the banned data by the investigation teams end up here? Why did it fully load and then mysteriously corrupt itself? This is suspicious....' You think to yourself.
You continue browsing. You look up automated psionic devices and find a tech-study on them.
Automated Psi-tech, Part 1Psionics exist throughout the known universe. They are present in all space faring factions and provide a variety of added bonuses to the faction they support. Their powers are usually limitless, however to use their powers for extended periods of time they need a constant supply of biological energy. In layman's terms, they need to constantly eat and/or drink something nutritious to access their limitless reserves.
Their powers come in many forms. Telekinesis, telepathy, pyrokinesis, thanatokinesis, psychokinesis and unikinesis are just some of the several dozen known psinoic variants. Powers usually become apparent during a persons puberty. Sometimes it takes an event to awaken powers, such as intense orgasm or extreme pain.
Usually a race has a ratio of 1 psionic for every 100,000 non psionics, although this can vary widely. Strangely enough, psionic powers are skewed towards the female sex of a race. Between one fifth and one third of a races psionics will be male, if applicable to the race (due to some races not even having a male sex).
Interesting to note is the strange lack of psionics for both Vanguardian Humans and Earther Humans. Humans on Earth lack any psionics at all. Vanguard has very few, with only between 10-20 new psionics every year. Some years, there are no new psionics.
To combat the lack of psionic power, the Vanguardians developed a way of creating artificial Psionics. They used stem cells taken from known psionics and grew a 'clone' of the psionics brain, which is then integrated into a specially designed device. Using this device, the Vanguardians can use psionic power to conduct medical surveys of its military applicants and help with any and all mentally disturbed people they come across (EDITORS NOTE: A very rare occurrence for the Vanguardians themselves however they do make contact with many primitive races).You seem t have read the most important parts of the article. There is not much more. Most of it is about the history of psionics, which you dont really need to know.
What will you do now?
