I know. But if you don't pump the air back in you would still loose air. Possible more than they'd waste considering the short amount of time the life support systems actually stays down for depending on the size of the airlock and how many people are thrown out at a time.

>> You're arguing over loss of air when the two bigger problems with this particular way to go are 1) more hassle than the result is worth, given the incoming demon attack and 2) the fact that having Sev in our crew makes death one of the smallest punishments to threaten us with?
'course, Sev would probably have to know what's been happening within 24 hours for the resurrection to work, but that's not the point >>;
Incidentally, Hunty's snark-o-meter is rising again. Too bad jacksparrowish traits don't show well in a written medium x3 I should switch to drawn posts one of these days.

If you want, replace "throw out an airlock" with a simpler, faster form of execution. |

I'll let someone else decide what happens when the theta waves hit the bike.

Theta waves are a type of brain wave. So...the scientists are thinking really really hard at the bike?

One that sounds cool, that is. *looks up Greek alphabet* Omicron? Zeta? Eta? Heta? Tau? Kappa? Lambda? Qoppa? If at all possible, I'd prefer if it didn't have a set 'this is what it is' in some other sci-fi. |

If you want, replace "throw out an airlock" with a simpler, faster form of execution. Whut, our position isn't serious enough to warrant serious threats? ...yay =D And the sad fact is, thinking really, really hard at the bike could easily get a reaction, considering that it's the bike of a Horseman and the Horsemen are human-centric by nature, which... actually makes them more likely to react to theta waves than, for instance, sound waves or any other three-dimensional thing like that. In fact, since the Horsemen draw their powers from big groups of humans doing stupid things... ...yeah, I'd mostly just like to avoid getting Leraye too close to the bike, or the bike getting too unstable >> Because if either was to happen, TMC would just break out and return to existence with a blazing vengeance, and I'd rather keep that for GW3 cos otherwise it wouldn't be fair to all other guilds xD |

If nothing else, it would explain why Jaliv and Fesserfa reacted the way they did. Still, if you think that shouldn't be what they use, I'm open to suggestions for other Greek letters. |

Well, if they are broadcasting thoughts at the Bike, the scientists should probably make sure they aren't sending "Apple banana pie is conjugate mobile phone alarm clock llama llama llama cookie* or something like that.

Something occurred to me: With what Brian said, I just implied that thinking to much can be bad for you. Erm… Maybe that's just if it's artificially created and/or at that intensity? I mean, with the intensity I'm thinking of, you'd probably only get something like that by taking a school full of psychics and putting them all in one small room, and even then it may depend on how good they are. |

Upon doing further research in the Akashik record Wikipedia:
Theta waves have been observed in lower mammals, but scientists aren't really sure if they are found in humans or other primates. There are two types of theta waves, that occur 1) during physical activity (walking, running, or sometimes REM sleep), and 2) during times of still alertness. So if we assume these arise in humans and other higher life-forms, having a lot of people running around the station could cause a lot of theta waves. Of course, they normally wouldn't "leave" the body, but we can just handwave that by the "it's a time-bending bike owned by an uberpowerful meta-god" argument.
There's also the fact that theta waves (as well as any brain waves) are just electromagnetic waves. You'd need a LOT of those to create any noticeable electromagnetic field. But once again, it's a time-bending bike owned by an uberpowerful meta-god.

Keng, thanks to your post, I just have to wonder....
What would happen in a faceoff between the Freeze Ray and the Bike? XD

Rider, quick question: Is the bike completely drained, or does it have some energy left? Or are you leaving it for others to decide?

Keng, thanks to your post, I just have to wonder.... What would happen in a faceoff between the Freeze Ray and the Bike? XD Ah well.. you see Dr. Billy H. doesn't yet have the wonderflorium he needs to complete the freeze ray so probably the Bike. Not to mention that a prototype Freeze ray can't really compete with the bike of a legendary horsemen. |

Rider, quick question: Is the bike completely drained, or does it have some energy left? Or are you leaving it for others to decide? Well, as the one who owns that thing (khehehe): it could probably go either way. The bike isn't an energy source in itself, it just uses fuel to work, and as it's fueled by time, it can work pretty much all the time. If you found a way to cut off its access to time, it'd probably stop working overall - in which case the Freeze ray might actually work - but only until the access is restored. Mrm. It's a bit of a confusing thing. But I'd assume that as per Rider's last post, the bike stopped only because it no longer had clear access to the gem. Still working, but stable again. ...and I so did not blush ¬¬ I think, anyway. Um. I swear, someone's gonna get stabbed in the near future. |
