This is probably out there even for this, but it's been stuck in my head for the past two days.
There you are. Sorry, needed to do some clean up. All the forms signed and cards issued? Good, good.
Not sure why you’re here to be honest. All the big stuff gets done in the Banzai Campus, and do you think we’re stupid enough to put the dangerous stuff in the middle of a city? And don’t bother asking; even if I DID know where it was do you think I’d tell you? Again, not stupid.
No, what’s we do here is deal with all the things home base find too strange for them to deal with.
What? Oh, the map. Interesting, isn’t it? I’d advise not looking too closely however. A 3D representation of the currently known nine dimensional multiverse tends to be a little bit on the mind-bending side. ‘Course C-Sec has the one with all the fancy colours where we know who’s nominally in control, but this is up to date. Mizuhara enjoyed the case of Grapevine champagne he won off Doc Greist for proving the Multiple Brane Linkage theorem which lets us even do that.
Yes, the General’s husband. Why should I worry about outtimers? I’ve only got three versions of Nikola Tesla and four of Edison Bell to run herd on here among others. Heck, Infinity’s Paralabs sent us a bunch of people just last week. The Mid-Childan are being dicks still, but given they have a dimensional neighbour going through a civil war I guess they have to look out for themselves.
Here we go, the Meta-Elemental lab. Despite what the press releases say, most of the original magical analysis went on here. We pretty much developed the Clarke framework for understanding it, and none of us had any talent in it what-so-ever. Jack down there on the other hand…
You’ll want to put the goggles on.
Hum… Bit bright, need to get Jack stronger sunscreen. Anyway, the theory’s sound enough. Basically we’re trying to store a fusion pulse in that crystal over there. All the power of a fusion reactor, none of the radiation problems. And it’d be good to restart a reactor quickly if you have to scram it.
Jack? We warded him to heck and back. Same scheme they used on the Potent Voyager, only smaller. I believe we might get it producible, but then the Blues will take it off our hands.
Right, where next? Oh yes, the neural structure lab. Basically we’re using the new UHR fMRIs and some nanotech to map a person’s brain. One of the problems we’ve found is that the brain is big on error correction, not so much memory redundancy. If we can sort out how the neurons can reorganise themselves, we can reverse it. Alzheimer’s gone in a flash, senility a thing of the past.
Brain uploading? I suppose. We’ve had the capability for years, the problem’s always been getting the mind back in a body. Brain downloading, if you will. The Ethics committees have had epic fights on the issue. The great Chicago food fight of 2019 was particularly invigorating.
Oh that clause? Don’t worry, we have a great safety record here. None of US want to have to go through the re-sleaving process either. Why? While I suppose being young, healthy and physically perfect is something of a plus, being a seventeen year old over-sexualised gothic lolita tends to be a bit of a downer. I do believe the boy’s mother gave him SUCH a spanking after the retrieval team tracked him down. Still, we have Doctor Howser as his lead agent so he’ll become a good citizen in time. Imagine what he’d be able to do properly focused!
Ah yes, this’ll cheer you up. The latest in medical technology, fresh from the field. Our friend down there saved a town on Quest-6 from a Dragon. Quite frankly, it’d take less time to tell you what wasn’t wrong with the poor sod. He’s been in the tank only thirty hours and all his skin is back, as is his left eye. The lungs are coming along nicely, and we expect the limbs to start coming in any hour now. Got it from Ladder-2, I think for the Abydos star drive tech.
Now this… This is brand new. What I’m holding is a portable, functioning psi-shield. Yes, Psi does exist, we’ve never actually said it didn’t. Just implied. Now, all I have to do is twist this here and it’s on.
With the false mind imager I’ve been wearing I imagine it’s giving you quite the headache. Yes, yes the embassy will be informed whilst you are in interrogation. Given it’s illegal for you to enter another’s mind without permission I expect they’ll have quite a few questions of their own. Don’t bother running, General Mizuhara can be rather protective of her husband so she’s lent us some of her Hardsuit cavalry.
If that’s all ladies and gentlemen? I have to get back to the A.I. lab, one of the boys brought back a gynoid and I’m quite certain it’ll try to kill or more likely rape poor Masaki. I keep telling the aura field investigations team they have to look at the trans-overdimensional resonance signature, but do they listen? I’m only their Boss after all.
