Blood...hmm. I'll need somebody willing to donate blood samples...or I could just take it from the blood bank in the medical area. >> Anyhow: Tested the new prototype with an ordinary blade. After thirty seconds, the only thing left was the hilt. Tested again with a knife with a concrete core. After thirty seconds, all the steel had been stripped off the concrete. Tested yet again with a sliver of brick. The brick was untouched. Tested a fourth time with a sliver of iron. The iron was eaten. Maybe I entered the molecular description for metal incorrectly. Oh, by the way: Fraze, do you want this sharp table? Hmm...maybe you need to program them to stop when they're a certain distance from one another? That might allow you to keep a constant sharpness on the blade. Thanks for the offer, but I'll pass. My table is actualy constructed very precisely as a weapon. It'd be the difference between fighting with a master-crafted sword and a pointy stick. Although...when you manage to work out all this nanite trouble, I wouldn't mind having one side of the table fitted with a retractable self-sharpening blade running along its length. |

SC here!
I have just applied for the Research class and I am happy to help.

Right! That's a great idea. *fiddles with programming*
There, that should work. Okay, let's try it...
Test 1: Pre-sharpened blade. No effect.
Test 2: Pre-blunted blade. Sharpened somewhat after five minutes. Acceptable for now. Sharpened blade scanned for nanites after removal from sheath; none detected.
Here's your knife sheath, Ethan. Tell me how it works in the field.
*glances back at front page* Hmm, Bouncy Bombs...I suppose I could glue together a bunch of grenades with stress-etched shells that fragment only if force is applied to them from the outside. That might result in it going in all sorts of unexpected directions though. Or I could make it with layers like an onion, which should result in plenty of secondary explosions while keeping it in sort of the same position.
Onion bomb it is.

Actually the idea is that it does go in all sorts of crazy directions. The idea was inspired by an old game I used to play with my brother and sister in a narrow hallway. We'd wip a couple of bouncy bombs at the wall then try to pass through without getting hit while they were still going all over the place. So these bombs would be meant for use in tight area where you have an emmidiate exit and your ennemy does not. The onion bomb idea sounds good though. More reliable than the model I had imagined in my head. The other neat thing is that with each bounce it will propel the ball so that it dosen't loose momentum until the whole thing self-destructs. It's unlikely these explosions would be deadly on their own unless it hits their head, but they will cause a lot of serious injuries, especially when used in numbers. SC here! I have just applied for the Research class and I am happy to help. Exellent  Well my feline friend, just take a look at the "Current Projects" list in the first post. Where it says "Needed" are projects that people need help with. Pick one of those or add a thought/idea on a project that's already being worked on  |

Strife, I've got the theory for your armour done, so I think I can get it done over a few hours, with break to re-energise, so there are a total of 40 sheild spells on your armour. It'll take..hmm, 5 hours?
Keng, good news, I think I can create brighter sim-sunlight, but Moonlight may be a problem, since we're on the moon, so I'm getting one of my contacts down on Earth to help me out.

Exellent! The sunlight is probably more important than the moonlight overall, so it's a very good start. But yea, the moonlight is a little less looked into when people try to simulate it. Sunlight is usually more desired when growing plants and stuff. Thanks for the update. I'll also update the Project list to confirm you as helping with the shield thing. |

I'm attending to Strife's armour at present, but I need to know what the second project is, since my comp dislikes code translators and I don't have the patience to sort it out manually.

Ok, here's something for our chemists to work on. Ever heard of exploding contact? It's a simple concoction that high school students have been using for years when they can get their hands on the materials to scare the living daylights out of teachers and classmates alike. What it is is when it dries, the moment it comes into contact with something it was not touching before, it explodes. It doesn't hurt or anything, it just makes a very very loud bang. So you go to open a door nob with this stuff on it... or you slip a paper with this stuff on it and the person opens the locker and the paper slowly drifts to the ground... yea, I've heard a lot of good stories about the stuff XD
Anyways, I was wondering if someone could maybe make it a bigger boom? One more destructive and available in a spray can where it won't dry?

Wait, were you working on a general forceshield for him? Or the fireproofing thing? Or a bit of both?

You probably could set it off with a feather from what I've heard about that stuff. I haven't seen any videos though. Just heard lots of stories about phones and paper layed across the hallway for people to step on. XD

I'd be happy to help Fraze with the Black hole bullet gun and Keng with the Exploding Contact: With bigger boom.

Hmm, I suppose I should find some stuff about the asploding contact. ... I'll google it later, (yea, in the future Google still dominates). Idealy it would be made in a portable mode, like a spray can or something. The big problem with this is keeping it wet cause if any of it dries... yea, would not be fun for us. It should be invisible, I'm not to worried about making it non-detectable by instruments, so long as a casual or hurried target won't notice it. Lemme know how the concoction progresses |
