does soul come into play at all?
Ok well jsut for fun I'm gonna count out of order...throw in fractions that sort of thing
The_Guild
"PSYCHIC ATTACK DETECTED" A headache blossoms between your eyes.
Lopez
that's of course if I could feel it fully
The_Guild
[Ah yes, of course. :)]
"PSYCHIC ATTACK DETECTED" Your mouth acquires a momentary dryness.
"PSYCHIC ATTACK DETECTED" Your eyes water, your nose runs.
"PSYCHIC ATTACK DETECTED" Your eyes water, your nose runs.
"PSYCHIC ATTACK DETECTED" Despite your indefatiguable frame, you suddenly feel... weaker.
"PSYCHIC ATTACK DETECTED" Your fingers tingle.
"PSYCHIC ATTACK DETECTED" Your arm tingles.
"PSYCHIC ATTACK DETECTED" Your hand feels numb.
"PSYCHIC ATTACK DETECTED" The numbness creeps up your arm.
You're actually feeling quite lackluster.
Lopez
but that will pass
The_Guild
Eventually. :)
The weakness isn't actually going away right away...
.
Lopez
.?
The_Guild
Not "..."
Lopez
ahhh
Can I think of anything Strength test
or anything?
The_Guild
The kinetic dampening that you noticed on arrival seems to have dissipated while in the training room.
Any exercises you want to do? Training you want to try out?
Lopez
Strength test
as well as a full sensors test
The_Guild
What sort of strength test?
Lopez
jsut making sure I'm at full strength with both Dmg and Lifting
The_Guild
Gravity test, or weightlifting?
Lopez
So I'll need a big Weight and something like a sheet of hull plating
The_Guild
A big weight?
Lopez
yeah just to make sure I can actually lift what I should be able to lift
Everything within paramaters for lifting?
The_Guild
Yup. It's a strain, but it's a good strain.
Lopez
I'll let you decide what happens to the tank but I'm thinking Lopez trash compacting
and now I make the tank so much smaller
The_Guild
Go ahead, trash compact. :) Sorry, I thought you were going to do that.
Lopez
I'll let you describe that
The_Guild
So you're standing outside the training room, Alice is walking away down the hall.
Lopez
WEll I'm off to a) register with the thinkers and b) Find Mr. clairune to see what is needed..also I'm locking Alice's Scent into memory
The_Guild
Consider it locked.
You don't know exactly where to find the Thinkers. Want to ask someone?
Lopez
Sure i'll jsut waylay the first person i see
The_Guild
You ask a short, burly man with red hair and a full beard, exiting one of the other training rooms. He directs you to find the arch in the library.
Lopez
and away I go
The_Guild
You take a trip to the library and pass through an arch labelled "Shargat Psionics." You enter a small, dark room with rough-cut stone walls and a low ceiling with no exits except that through which you'd entered.
Lopez
and I see?
The_Guild
That's what you see.
Lopez
"Hello?"
The_Guild
The room is really small. The archway takes up a third of the wall behind you, and the room is only half that deep. Probably less than 10 feet by 15 feet.
SSssss...........
Lopez
[Scanning All Spectums]
The_Guild
Nothing. The room is cold and dark. Scents of other visitors are visible, but nobody has been here for an hour, at least.
You could go find a clerk in the Chamber, or you could find someone in the Library to ask.
Lopez
I head back out into the library
The_Guild
The library is as you left it.
Lopez
is there someone in there who isn't busy?
The_Guild
Everybody is reading, though there are a few who seem to be lost in thought. There's a bit of traffic along the wall of arches though.
Lopez
screw it I'm going to the Chamber
The_Guild
Okay. You go to the Chamber and quickly find a Clerk, a roly poly short little man with muttonchops, rosy cheeks and a big smile.
Lopez
Hello there
The_Guild
"Hi! How are you? What can I do for ya today, young fella?"
Lopez
I was hoping I could gain myself acess to the training rooms..I was directed to the Thinkers by someone but I don't know if I was in the right section it was Shargat Psionics..is it possible for you to assist me in either getting to the right location or setting up access
The_Guild
"Sure thing! Let me just check one thing...." He looks down at his clipboard for a second, then makes a few notes. "Yeah, follow me!"
He leads you back the way you came, back to Shargat Psionics.
On the way, he keeps you entertained with a running monologue of interesting facts about the Guild and the places you pass through. When you reach Shargat Psionics, he calls out, "This gentleman was looking for the Thinkers!"
Ssssssss.........
A voice in your head suddenly speaks. ~You are looking for the Thinkers?~ The voice is clipped, controlled. Almost military.
Lopez
Yes
The_Guild
~Do you intend to join the Thinkers?~
Lopez
That depends what does that entail?
"What does that Entail?"
The_Guild
~Joining the Thinker Collective connects you to the mindpool of The Guild. In exchange for low cycles of your own mind, you gain access to the full information resources of the Guild. In addition to information, research and communication is also facilitated.~
Lopez
Psioniclly?
The_Guild
~Optimally. Alternatively, technological implants may be used.~
Lopez
I would prefer Technological Implants.
The_Guild
~You are authorized for Thinker Receptivity. Do you accept? Yes. No.~
Lopez
Yes
The_Guild
""
Lopez
"yes"
The_Guild
From the wall emerges a metal sphere with a handprint on it. ~Your nanomachines will be reconfigured to install your Thinker connection. Place your hand upon the sphere.~
Lopez does as instructed
The_Guild
Your palm grows warm for a moment and you feel..... something inside your head. But only for a moment. And then...
You feel something, like a headache you never realized you had has abruptly disappeared. It's almost frightening, like your mind has suddenly filled with new air. After a moment, that feeling too is gone. But something is different.

The_Guild
The voice returns, now a pleasant whisper, not even that. It surpasses a voice, for your mind registers it as a voice, but it takes no time to communicate. ~Greetings. Welcome to the Shar Torin Thinker Collective. Thinker Receptivity allows you to access Guild information and facilities remotely depending on authorization...
~In exchange, your untapped thought potential is borrowed during downtime to facilitate the Thinker usage of others.~
Lopez
~Ok lets test this out...sreaching for contact information Subject: Clairune ~
The_Guild
~Please specify?~
Lopez
~can Thinker Array be used to facilitate communication between Subject: Eric Gordon and Subject: Clairune~
The_Guild
~Yes. Please specify a Clairune.~
Lopez
~Mr. Clairune, Subject Eric Gordon was recruited by Mr. Clairune
~Does Thinker Array Require additional Subject data?~
The_Guild
~Mr. Roal Clairune, Traveller.~ There is a pause, and suddenly you... -know- all about him. You know how long he's been a Thinker (37 years), where he's been a Traveller (Bozgul, Tah'Bo'Chi, Hammeren and Westbury dimensions), his likes and dislikes, his two failed marriages, his kids names and their ages (grown, now). Anything you would find in a report on the man, and more. All there, as if you'd read the report not two minutes ago.
report not two minutes ago.
Lopez
~How would one Contact Roal Clairune?~
The_Guild
~You can arrange a meeting through the Thinkers, or invite him to converse through the Thinkers.~
Lopez
Requsting a meeting in person at a time of his convienince
The_Guild
~Clairune is available now.~
Lopez
~then I would request a meeting now~
The_Guild
~You have been booked.~
Lopez
~where will I meet with Mr Clairune~
The_Guild
~His office is located in Phase two, third floor, 313.~
Lopez
~Thank you~
I head to the office
The_Guild
You ask for directions and get there ten minutes later. Mr. Clairune is sitting at a glass desk in a room with grey panelling designed to look like metal sheets, various orbs of light hovering around and illuminating the room. He looks up from paperwork as you enter. "Mr. Gordon, how has your first day been? Congratulations on finding the Thinkers, it usually takes most people a week."
Lopez
"I had help from a young Woman named Alice"
The_Guild
"Alice, hmm? That's good. So, what can I do for you?"
Lopez
"well I've seen what i've needed to see more or less I have access to the Thinker Database..SO...Now what?"
The_Guild
"Impatient, Mr. Gordon?"
Lopez
"well its not as though I have to sleep or anything...I just need a direction I hate aimless wandering"
The_Guild
"What do you want to accomplish, Mr. Gordon?
Lopez
"my Job"
The_Guild
"Is that it?"
Lopez
"Rather... I work for you people now..what do you want me to accomplish?"
The_Guild
"We want you to explore new dimensions, protect them from extra-dimensional threats. There will be training for you to go through, but right now, they're waiting for a few more recruits to arrive before you begin."
Lopez
"I see...pardon my impatience...I'm used to having a team assembled and on the go. this is...Different...for me. When do you expect to have your team assembled?"
The_Guild
"Probably in another day or two. Sometimes temporal differences between dimensioms make arrival times unpredictable."
"Get used to different, Mr. Gordon. It will happen a lot."
Lopez
"heh..yeah...So? do I at least get to know who I'll be working with?"
The_Guild
"Sure."
Lopez
"and they would be?"
The_Guild
Mr. Clairune gives you a ghost of a grin. "You're part of the Thinkers now. You don't have to ask me."
Lopez
"ahhhh I see...well What do I do with my time now? sit back and enjoy?"
The_Guild
"Sit back and enjoy, take the time to get acquainted with your surroundings, find something you like to do."
Lopez
"uh huh...so sit on my hands till your ready for me in otherwords?"
The_Guild
"It won't be me who is ready for you. I was just the recruiter, I won't be doing the training or assigning. You're going to be a Traveller, just like me."
Lopez
"ahhh I see...well then I hope to see you around then...its been a pleasure"
The_Guild
"The pleasure is all mine, Mr. Gordon. Have a good day."
Lopez salutes him turns on his heel and leaves
The_Guild
I'll be in #BESM for a few minutes if you have questions or anything.
