[RFC] Theories on Handwavium

Subj: Re: Theories

BBI>Has anyone else discovered a lessened requirement for goop to make things they've done before?

A few things. The Institute has found that using the 'wavium in the constuction of equipment to _build_ wavetech reduces the 'wavium required in the
actual device. It's slow going, trying to predict this, since 'wavium has a tendency to ignore the scientific method and go left when you want it to go
right. But as for theories, it seems to respond to emotion and desire, both conscious and subconscious. We've had a few documented cases of 'wavium
responding not only to its "fuel"* but also to the mental states aroused by said fuel. (As an aside, don't treat your 'wavium like a
sourdough starter; it can have unpleasant consequences.) Materials that inspire hope, fear, and rage, in particular, seem to influence 'wavium quite
strongly, especially biomod strains. Has anyone considered that it may be a living thing, a symbiote? And if it is symbiotic, how does it benefit from
continued contact with the human species?
