CONTACTProject Contact is the
creation of a process by which
enhanced individuals go through a primary or secondary isolation period in a
Gollop Chamber to "
Contact"
Alien entity(ies) for
extensive training and abilities, which may differ depending on what entity is Contacted. Although it uses most of the same
chemicals and processes as the SEEM project, it requires
large amounts of exotic metals for the “true” isolation material required. The first alien entity Contacted bestows the ability to
“leech” memories of off other people, gaining some or multiple memories without making the individual in question
forget.
Skilled users are able to pick more specific, useful or otherwise apply their ability in a
broad manner, and especially elite users can copy their own
(stolen or otherwise) memories to other people. Bear in mind that nothing may be stopping them from copying their memories of how to use mind leach or memory copy to others.

[Extended Explanation Below]---
Contact is a process by which specially chosen individuals are run through the gamut of the SEEM Process, but the primary or the secondary isolation period is done in a specialized chamber referred to as the Gollop chamber. Inside a/the Gollop chamber is one of the most expensive set of psychotropic machinery known to mankind. Built of exotic materials said to be especially “present” towards SEEM soldiers, The isolation tank is far more “isolated” from earthly interruptions and minds, it is designed to focus upon one single “area” with a telescopic-like device that acts as a transceiver towards any particular object it is pointed to. Most of the time it is pointed towards the stars, as this is the most optimal way to Contact, but pointing it towards individuals, cities places etc is also a valid line of research for contacting more terrestrial beings. Contact was accidentally committed when the Gollop chamber, originally made to make more powerful SEEM's, had “Contacted” an alien entity now known as Hierophant. Further tests and multiple expired personnel later, we have determined that individuals are afflicted with anomalous abilities, and by Contacting it with a set procedure, subjects gain new abilities depending on the Contact (of which we have only found one of.)
The entity of Contact “Hierophant” causes Contacted Individuals to gain the ability to “leech” other person's memories, up to and including exact replication of their skills and profession. Although not the most battle-field applicable ability, multiple dissections, and biopsies can create the firm possibility of turning this “memory leaching” into devices that can record the memories/skills/etc of a person, and copy it to another. These devices are barely past the schmatics stage and are beyond the scope of the CONTACT project. The location of Hierophant is either in an orbit around the Moon, or in an area of stars near a significant constellation.
[RECORDING EXCERPT 22 MINUTES 32 SECONDS OF SESSION]
“We’ve… I Contacted it. Looked past the vacuum, the emptiness, directly to the empty cold stars that hold these Horrors. It hisses, it screams at its own anathema, and it is mindlessly pursuing the goal of extermination. Fortunately, the fact that it is so far away it may not be on Earth prevents it from completing its goal. We can “talk” with it. The intelligence, I mean. The conversations are… bleak, to say the least. I can still hear it’s devoted exterminative… emotion? Emotion, from here. Just from “talking” with it, I… I feel different. Thoughts, experiences-- pictures of things-- Memories, new memories just pop and go into my head. Most of the time it’s that black inky Contact, but sometimes it’s… something else. I was talking with an engineer yesterday as he was discussing the process of prototyping some type of Galilean Nonlinear Ar-- A prototype Lightning weapon, and it… it started making sense. I understood what he was talking about and I even got socked in the face by that grumpy gaunt fuck after I pointed how wrong he was.
...
Look at you. I remember the protocols, the… the details and all those horrible deaths. Th-the horrible fuck up that prevented you from becoming a SEEM, and how you handle the weapons to make up for your disability. How to make a black-op Clean for the B-E-O and do it right, every time for her. I was always an explorer, the man for the job of testing the cutting edge, but I am now also an Agent of the BEO, if only for a fragment. Fascinating. What new processes of power could I and Aratam gain from Contacting others?"
[SKIPPING 7 MINUTES 33 SECONDS]
Contacting is a whole process, a… a way of life, I think. Contacting as I say it is not just... opening up a conversation, but imprinting The Heiropant onto yourself. And there might be others out there. Spilling their knowledge out for anyone to gather up and use, but… Am I doing the same thing? Spilling out all my information for these things to pick apart and use? I don’t know. But I know all the entities out there. The ones we can Contact. They are all like this, and I don’t...
I just don’t know.”
[END OF EXCERPT]
“Enrapture”,Gaussian Nonlinear Automatic Weapon (GNAW) 1037-AThe Enrapture GNAW 1037-A is the first deployable automatic magnetically propelled autocannon of it’s kind. It fires non-magnetic projectiles, with similar magnetic properties to copper or aluminum alloyed into them. The armature of the prototyped projectile acts like an electromagnet, and it is propelled by the current induced by the pulses of the acceleration coils. The projectile would travel down the barrel of the weapon without touching the sides of the bore, as it is levitated into the exact center of the barrel. By utilizing this method of propulsion, we are able to send projectiles down-range at higher speeds without detonating the barrel through hypervelocity physical contact and erosion. The magnetic coils of the weapon are protected by a bore consisting of a ceramic casing of metallically combined materials designed to facilitate magnetic propulsion without allowing debris from entering the coils from the outside or the inside of the casing.
The Enrapture is also the first weapon to have a vacuum sealed barrel, further reducing the friction of the round traveling down the barrel while simultaneously air gapping the coils from discharging into the casing.
One thing to note. The GNAW is ideally deployed as a machine gun emplacement wired to a reactor, or as a weapon utilized by super soldiers, but if size problems become apparent, it may be acceptable to have it as a tank based weapon or even an aircraft based weapon. This early into the prototyping stage, we have no idea how large the end product is going to be.

@brightfractal, would you mind if I wrote up an extended proposal for the Scythe?
