Gigahertz.
“'Nuff Said" as they say in somewhereland.

Things like wireless routers operate in the gigahertz range. And gigahertz-range radio frequencies have bad range, can't go around walls... you probably want something more like kilohertz, because it actually has decent range!

Low level spambots (I mean like, lower than grunt.) use kilohertz.

Well I need something that can operate past the Spambots' range of hearing! Explanation of Conduit Energy:
Conduit Energy is, to put it simply, the energy of life itself. The energy of the universe. And in turn, that Energy allows you to control various aspects of the universe, for example, Sound. That's why the Walkie-talkies can work on such a high frequency and on such long range.

That's how most things seem to work nowadays. *le sigh* So we're back on this plot line again? Just a reminder that anybody god modding shall find their character mysteriously gained suicidal tendencies and decided that life was n't worth it anymore. * hint hint*

Not same plot line, just what I gathered from the actual inFamous series. It took the life energy from people and gave it to the holder of the sphere. Of course I modified it to work with plants instead of people, thank goodness.

Because killing spambots is like, not as bad.

Also, you realize Kamehameha has access to Conduit tech, he just thinks it's dull.

Cliffs, windows, medicine to OD on, are all in high supply in the spambot universe. I'm itching to kill someone off, I just need a reason :p

Kill off the Conduits.

I always thought of the conduits of giant magical machines. That's how Whiz could set them to search "through time" to find cracks, and how they can help her. They're essentially almost sentient beings with a huge power reservoir, too.

Anyway, who's to say you didn't give Kameh the tech?

IC:

The girl looks at Spirit "w-whats happening?"

The past two pages are why I'm not writing in this thread. Just saying...
OOC: That's fine. ;) You know, you can start somewhere else. Just tie it in, somehow. :p

I see... This is not the Infamouse Multiverse. This is the Spambot Multiverse Thank you very much..

It is dull. :p Because of that, it's mostly magic, bakelite and CB Radios. ;) Techno thinks it's dull too, that's why he installed a fusion reactor in their basement. :p Bella, there's another method for you. ;)

The conduits would go nowhere near him. Techno was glad of that fact. He doubted that most of them were consciously aware of the fact, but he didn't care. What he needed at the moment was a good break. As Techno sat, and started thinking, he did not notice that, as raw energy gathered itself around him, that the conduits near him walked away, feeling frightened, but not knowing the reason. Techno had always been strange with energy. As he stood up, raw, uncontrolled energy surged off of him, sparkign off, and pitting the walls. Techno then noticed what he was subconsciously doing, when symbols started to form on the air, burrowing away at the wall. he calmed down, adn the lightning was gone. Other than a very large, deep slot in the wall, no-one would be any the wiser.

Techno enjoyed playing with fire. It gave him joy, but not the obsessive pyromania that seemed to overcome Spirit every once in a while. Techno just enjoyed making things work. Fire was one of the more mysterious things that everyone tried to make work. He put the fire on the bench, where it hovered, feeding off the stick of magnesium Techno had procured. techno picked up the flame and put it back inside the oil lamp. The magnesium stick went back inside the cupboard, and Techno put his oil lamp inside the ship. Admittedly, the lamp did not use oil, but it only appeared to.

Spirit was investigating that hole in his wall. It had almost been burned to the support beam, and he wondered what had happened. He assumed Techno was in the laboratory, having heard a loud explosion earlier, and Spirit never kept explosives in a Laboratory. There was something strange about Techno, but Spirit could not figure out what it was, exactly. There was some aspect to techno that made him uneasy, but he did not know what. It can wait he thought. Spirit walked back up the stairs to his room. Techno was busy watering a small array of plants he kept inside. These plants were sources of energy, and their small size hid their impossibly deep capacity well. Techno shut the door, hid them, and went to sleep.

All my Conduits made their own makeshift (I wanted them to do something on their own for once)
And I gave the devices to G, J, and Tech. Three people. Even if any of you decided to give it to someone else, it wouldn't work, because I have to personally activate it to a specific person.
IC: It's a bit hard to explain. Spambots are trying to take over the world and we are trying to stop them. Hmm... That was easier than I thought.[DOUBLEPOST=1376835295][/DOUBLEPOST]Oops, I used the style of writing you use on Myriad Reality in the Roleplayer Guild. No quotes, and actions in asterisks. Pretend those were words in the IC.

Someone or something shoved you guys and a great deal of Spambots into the Multiverse. But not all Spambots left, but some, including their makeshift leader did. He was killed by Techno.
Spambots, mostly low level grunts had nothing better to do but trash the world. They multiplied. Then some kid wondered if he could stop them working. He tried to hack into one. He. An automatic failsafe beamed information to a server in Sao Paulo. This opened up the figurative Pandora's Box.

The server in Sao Paulo was designed to tell every single Spambot that someone, somewhere had tried, and perhaps successfully hacked into Spambots. This arranged a better adaptive function.

Spambots, up until then had simply walked into cities trying to just attack and spam, but now it was different. They could build new machines, conquer. Paint spam tattoos in the eyeballs of the enemies. But due to Spambot having an extremely small intelligence(or at least the grunts did)they mostly copied humanity. Occasional developments were made. These were used by most all spambots.

Example: One saw a kid with a baseball bat hitting a ball, realized you can use sticks to fight.

Soon afterward every Spambot starting using them. Then other spambots rushed back in and Kamehameha, whether he had stayed in Baseline or had been in Multiverse was unknown. (I imagine them all flying through a giant blue crack) but he and many other spambots landed before the others, before in time. He, using Multiverse tech and the makeshift tech of Baseline adaptations, and his own intelligence (and some other secret things) became more powerful than any other spambot empire.

Brazil LP of Civ5..
Of course, the richest/most populous state in Brazil does deserve some recognition but the government fucks every state so hard it makes porn starts ashamed.
That, and the incomprehensible mix of ultra-conservationist left-wing people, ultra-liberalist right-wing people and the fact we blame the right wing for everything.
I'm more of a social democrat, really - economic benefits of capitalism and social benefits of socialism.
And in case you use the argument "It's called RIGHT wing for a reason", that reason is that, in the governments estabilished after the French Revolution, the rich burgoise sat on the right, the poor burgoise sat on the left and the guys who changed their opinions based on who was on the power sat on the center.
God, I love history.

And also the hacking occured near Sao Paulo.
