OOC:I simply tagged along after Ex because I didn't want it to end. I don't know where the holes in the universe came from.
Anyway.

[VIDEO LOG START]
"Ugh, hello? Is this on? This is Jess, and these past few days have been the most intense of my life. I think I may be going insane. I'm losing my atomic memory from traveling in the timestream, and every day I cough up more and more blood.

"That's not the worst part. The worst part is that I decided to risk time-traveling again. Now I fear my death is near,

"Hanging out by the reactor chamber couldn't have helped either.

"Anyway, I've only got one hope, and all I can say is that I hope it isn't born or insanity.

"I'm throwing myself into the reactor chamber or Bunker Beta.

"Adios, I'll see you on the other side."
[VIDEO LOG ENDS]

OOC: Techno, I brought my laptop with me, please tell me that causes something cool to happen. Like maybe a giant explosion that takes out half of the base.

Umm...
We don't have a regular reactor.
We have a Fusion Reactor.
Hehe...
Sorry...
Fusion Reactors work though!
And the base is Titanium.
You can't blow it up.
Sorry!

I could totally jump into a fusion reactor, and that could totally take out half of the base, even it it's made of titanium. Which is really impractical, btw.

Why can't we blow up the base? It gives people another possible plot arc for those who didn't feel like following the shenanigans.

Umm...
Fusion Reactors don't blow up.
Someone posted a full blown explanation on that kind of thing.
Nope.
Not gonna happen.
And anyway, we have a backup base exactly like Beta.
Just without any Reactors.

OOC: lol u think titanium cant be broke and fusion reactors cant blow up ur cute.

Day 1, Time Approx. 9:43 PM, Terra Time, EST.

I appear to be above a Conduit Base. I have hacked this pod, and it appears to be quite large. I then hacked your base, Conduit Base. I am planting this information in your network.

Send help.

OOC: A couple of things is my character is not anything beyond a regular human minorly effected by time travel, and various chemicals. He doesn't have any real "special powers" besides being intelligent.

Good job man. But you might want to open up that possibility just in case you encounter a sticky situation like the one i'm stuck in.

OOC: The power depends.
You don't necessarily receive the power to control electricity...
And the 50 conduits under my OCs leadership are the only conduits currently in existence.
No one can be augmented unless I, myself activate the Ray Sphere.

OOC: Perhaps, but that's all I can see... Also, what happens if the Ray Sphere feeds off you?
[BEGIN TRANSMISSION; Freq.: Private Secure; Location: Carrier Staging Zone]

Oh, Techno, if you want to see a Carrier, just ask. I only do completely random executions once every fifteen or twenty thousand years. Besides, Her Majesty is already mad enough. She doesn't like it when I go off ending the lives of mortals for petty reasons.

As far as war goes, the Azurian Empire has been at war since IY 12,096 when we were invaded by aliens looking to harvest our world for resources. We don't use military action as much as we did, but it still happens on the borders. Fun fact: The Throne World is not our home world. In fact, Universe Prime where all of you live is where I was born. The Azurian Empire began on the Eastern continent of Serena's homeworld. How I got here and became Emperor is a very, very long story, so we'll leave it for later. The Throne World has not been the site of any military conflict any kind for over fifteen million years.
OOC: My text from earlier returned! :D NOrmal Cautiousness just by being near the carrier, sometimes people go mad if you go too near their vehicles. What does IY stand for? FYI: I don't live in Universe Prime. I only reside there for the moment. :p

Day 1: Hour approx. 6:46 Terra Time

Insofar as I can see, I was placed in some sort of time stasis. Location currently unknown, all attempts to contact Techno has failed, and therefore I beam this message to all sentient beings. I don't know where I am.

This is Technician of the Seventh OmegaPoD (Pocket Dimension.) Send help.

Message ends.

Day 103 0400 (Wolframic Time) [Multipurpose Transport, DSec 2]
Latent Message Received. Travel Initiated.

Day 2 0900 Terra (Unidentified Pod, OmPoD-Sec 1)
I have pulled up to an unidentified pod here, which is as far back as I can trace this message. There is an issue, however, that the pod only opens from the inside... But I think sticking it to the side of the transport should do.
{Electromagnet Activated}

Time to push a few speeds, and head back...

{Engines Fully engaged. Speeds at 50, 60, 70, 85, 40%}
{Destination, D1, Sec 2}

Me, I'm a character made completely out of nanobots, and has no traceable history whatsoever, bar my memories. :p

It's made specifically to feed off of non-Conduit energy.
The energy that Conduits have is very different from the energy everything else contains.
The person being augmented holds the Ray Sphere, and it has a Retina scanner so that only I can activate it.
I press a button, the scanner activates, and if my eye matches, the sphere activates.

Day 103 0400 (Wolframic Time) [Multipurpose Transport, DSec 2]
Latent Message Received. Travel Initiated.
Quoting for notification.


Day 2 Approx. Time 1:02 AM Terra Time.

Technician's fingers hovered over the keyboard on the inside of the pod. He had sensed the machinery of a new ship that had grabbed him and he had spent the last seven hours hacking the ship. No progress had been made. That excited Technician, for he rarely came across such a challenge.

But then he got it. "Tap a stone long enough and it will crack." As his grandfather used to say. He hacked into the laptop in which the ship was connected to and managed to hack the things satellite from there. Then it was hugely easy to pretty much look at the whole ship. His fingers dropped down to the keyboard and hacked into the cameras to see a being. It seemed vaguely familiar. He turned his attention to pods third monitor. He preformed a scan. And got the results. Nanobot organism, sentient, or very nearly sentient.

He opened up every speaker on the ship.
"Hello? You have taken my pod. Can you free me?"

OOC: FUn! I've been tempted to write in third person for a while :D, also my character is an 'it' :p At least, that what it technically is
Day 102 0300 Terra (Deep Space, OmegaPoDSec 1)
While preparing everything for long-distance travel, Techno received a message from inside the pod. "...Can you free me?". Upon scanning the pod, it seemed as though there was a sentient humanoid organism within. It sent a message to the organism within: "The pod you are in is only able to be opened through the inside." Now that everything seemed ready, Techno pushed up its ship's speed, and vanished.

I didn't read this thread until now. I have no idea what the hell is going on. I wonder if they're related? Do devoted followers of this thread have any idea what the hell is going on?

Since Whiz denies his heritage, you can be the person descended from the original conduit bloodline.

Day 109
Dr. Bright has finally become sane again, and began to talk to me. He insisted that I record the conversation using Whizz's recording device. This is what came out of it after the conversation. Looking back, it's kind of hard to believe what happened.
Bella: So do you have any ideas on where we are? What happened to the others?
Dr.Bright: To be quite honest, I don't know. I speculate that we may be trapped in a pocket dimension while the people that you consider to be your "friends" are all running around time traveling or something or other.
Bella: That's not possible, how would we even have gotten into this pocket dimension in the first place?
Dr.Bright: Well I think it may have been caused by an artifact, it would have to be something that both of us were affected by or else we wouldn't be here.
Bella: Describe this artifact, what would it look like?
Dr.Bright: Well theoretically it could have been anything. Your coat, the bars to the cell door I was in, a butter knife even.
Bella: A butter knife? Really? This is some Warehouse 13 shit going on here.
Dr.Bright: They got that idea from us you know.
Bella: From who exactly? What are you not telling me?
Dr.Bright: I can't tell you that, it's classified information.
Bella: Is it really classified by the government? You do know that the government is gone now.
Dr.Bright: No, it's been classified by an organization above any form of government you've heard of?
Bella: If it's North Korea, I don't want to hear about it.
Dr.Bright: Nope. North Korea was too violate to be involved in such an organization.
Bella: Well then, I think that after a couple hours in your cell you'll rethink your views.
Dr.Bright: I have been in a cell all my life, what makes you think that this one will change anything?
Bella: This one is real.

I'll do some roleplay style things in my next log.[DOUBLEPOST=1373513617][/DOUBLEPOST]

You know, sometimes we don't. You can join in if you want, but right now i'm trapped in a pocket dimension. Liara is in space. Whizz and rymmie are doing their own "godly things" that are above the comprehension of everyone else. And GPuzzle and the rest are going back in time to fix some rifts.

I don't understand either. I haven't seen this many spambots on the forum.

Sigh, they're like the squids from the matrix, or a bunch of terminators. I know how much you love terminator.

Eww squids. I must prevent them from harming John Connor. Spam is bad for his diet.
