((Damn, I meant to type Manipulator Brain Units >__<))
Still no.
Yes, there are several suitable subjects on the list of coma patients I recovered from Q'Baja. And that's for a start, before your new laboratories are finished. I trust there is no problem with using comatose hosts?
Conversation with the Doctor and Anton!
[ADMIN OF SCIENCE][DEPUTY ADMIN OF ENGINEERING]
- I looked through the mission and could not find people turning off cameras (only comms), much less Simus specifically, so the antenna creation process should be fully filmed - and from several different angles, since Simus was in a robobody by that mission. Let's say the science team have started working on it already?
- Can I please have a report on the science teams progress? I'm talking about the one studying fleshhorror remains and the one studying soundworm data. It's almost month since those were assigned (four weeks, to be precise).
- Can the sharkmist structure be replicated with synth-flesh instead of "regular" organics?
- I recall that non-standard-effect amps/manipulators can be requested. Can there be made a very cheap (MFM or close) and highly specialized amp/manip of a power similar to organo-(possibly -dominator)line, but limited to influencing fleshknitter/human stem cells only? Yes, I am looking for a way for fleshknitter to be intelligently guided, most importantly allowing it to regenerate complex organs correctly.
- The teleporter rifle Nyartifact sent to us by Pancaek, not ARESTEVE's item. To recap: test whether it can be fired with a robosod and/or a simple "trigger-pulling" mechanism.
Well...you can try but that thing was the result of the reality warping of a good roll, so it might not be replicable.
Flesh horror is producing nothing terribly interesting, sadly. They've manged to set up a device which should, in theory, open the same kind of tear in reality that the soundworm team did. They haven't turned it on yet though.
No.
That...You could do it with controlled effort on the part of an amp user, MAYBE a manip user if they're really good, but a specialized system just for that? No.
Oh, that one. Should give it a different name. That one can be used by robosods and mechanisms.
Hephaestus management stuff:
1.Assign two construction crews to building an "apocalypse lab" on Planet #11. The idea is that we can do our dangerous potentially planet destroying experiments here, in relative safety. The lab should have the infrastructure to do most any experimentation we're likely to want. Also, it should be almost entirely subterranean, so that it is very difficult to detect for anyone looking. Taking in mind that it's about 50 AU away, and two construction crews make things take half the amount of time they normally would, when will this be finished?
The second third of the gratesplosion artifacts have been researched. I would like to know what we have learned about:
2.The piece of staircase railing with a thin coating of moving black stuff. (warning, may cause tissue damage and massive shadowy tornadoes)
3.The metal cylinder, which resonates dangerously well.
4.The neon green humming spikes. They explode when struck
5.My bunker finished. I want my body moved there, and then transplanted into one of the superheavy robot bodies.
Experiments with forcefields:
6.I want to create a 'bowl' made of lead that projects a forcefield inside of it, consistently an inch away from the surface. Activate the field, then place inside the bowl a unactivated small steel sphere which will project an omnidirectional forcefield consistently a quarter inch away from its surface, when activated. After placing the sphere inside, activate its forcefield, which should intersect with the bowl's field. If nothing visibly happens, tip the bowl over so that the sphere would roll out, then try to pick it up.
Hypothesis: Fields from different materials are solid to each other, and all forefields will cut segments out of normal materials when activated inside them. This will probably destroy the lead forcefield, creating an explosion. Since forcefields aren't an actual material though, I could also see it just anchoring the two objects together.
7.How close can a projected forcefield come to the projecting material? Can it be flush with the surface?
8.How far can a projected forcefield be from the projecting material, presumably relative to size/mass of the projector?
9.Can a projected forcefield curve back on itself? See the below diagram

1.Lets say end of these missions. Or actually, beginning of next ones. We'll use the jump for time.
2. The samples appear to have degraded or died over time. They're mostly inert now, with little noticeable reaction to a variety of stimuli. Dang.
3. That one was apparently an unknown crystalline aluminum alloy. It's not very robust, but it's like a tuning fork; it can vibrate to different resonate frequencies and maintain that vibration for a long period. Not sure of the uses yet, but it can be replicated.
4. These appear to be radioactive and unstable. We've isolated the materials and can replicate it, but it's not very useful looking. The spikes aren't sharper then standard metal and the explosions they release aren't more powerful then conventional explosives.
5. alright
6. When the second field is activated it results in the metal sphere being violently jettisoned from the bowl.
7. Flush? no. But very nearly. Milimeter or so clearance.
8. It seems that, via experimentation with spheres, that the shield can be projected, at max, 5 times the radius of the object away from the anchor.
9. Not that you've found. You can manipulate the shape to a degree, but not that much.
