I assumed that the ship departure was Genus going to make contact. I guess we'll see.

I take it it didn't work either way:
Code:
LAINSY SAYS: Power fluctuations at GRS 6, 7, and 9.
LAINSY SAYS: I cannot sustain extended periods of Gravitonic Manipulation Equipment.

* GRAVITONIC MANIPULATION EQUIPMENT DEACTIVATED

LAINSY SAYS: Inbound thread approaching Earth.
LAINSY SAYS: Estimating 3 days before reaching EGS optimal weapons firing range.
LAINSY SAYS: Estimating 3 days before arrival to Earth.
LAINSY SAYS: Preparing defensive systems.

Oh, sorry. Misread that previous block.

Hold on a sec... how is it that the optimal weapons firing range is on earth itself?

I am imagining it like Star Trek terms. I see it as if the ships approaching are in warp speed and they can't be fired upon until they actually drop out of warp when they arrive at earth. Here is an email from Genus...
Quote:
So, talking to them didn't quite work out as espected. I'll on my was back to Earth, and Scarlet report she's having quite a difficult time holding them in position due to the fact that she's using a very early prototype of the Gravitonic technology. Hopefully she can hold them long enough that I can devise a plan for us. Honestly, as much as I am expecting them to come I haven't got much of a plan to prevent them, which I mean I don't have plans that doesn't involve some still theoretical and probably future technology. Any of you guys who can give some plausible ideas that can help us out using anything you know we have right now. Maybe there is something, and I just haven't thought of it.

Several brains work better than just one, so let's put ourselves together and devise something.


Ok. Any ideas?

Personal check you seem right on theories.

I'm back, after a while... busy busy here... anyways, looks like we're preparing! If LAINSY can defend us, why does Genus still need our help? Or is it because probably he himself thinks whatever LAINSY has right now isn't enough? I kind feel that way with his message. So is he asking us for ideas how to put together something from technologies they have?

Also, if you think about it there's an optimal range for any kind of weapon, especially if your target is moving... So yeah, if these enemies of our are in warp, it would just be wasteful to blindly fire a weapon if your accuracy is too low. imagine using a sniper riffle to kill someone 10 km away inside a moving car....

so yeah, LAINSY probably knows she can only fire the weapons once they reach this optimal distance, which sounds either somewhere in our solar system (depending on the speed they are travelling) or very close to Earth if she can only fire once they get out of any sort of warp speed.

Ok, we have three days to come up with something. As far as I know FAILTECH has the LMAO tech, and some other tech they have on development... didn't they also have some other tech ready for release supposedly last month? Well, that is aside for FIRST, which isn't exactly "technology"

also, may I raise the question about how's their progress with Pedro? Isn't it that they have him somewhere with his memory wiped? I wonder if he got his memory back, maybe we could get some intel.

I think future Genus sort of told us what to use... we just need to find it.

Recall the latest Enigma solve from the incoming transmission of binary data.

So this "child of power", could that mean Scarlet (Emily's child)? Do you guys think she's the reason why the Orkudusu are coming? I don't know. If she is, maybe she and her powers are the key to stopping this invasion.

That's like, THE ONLY IDEA I have, so if this is a bad or wrong idea then I'm not going to be very helpful on this one.

Well, the question still hangs at where exactly is Scarlet? Unless of course they are pertaining to LAINSY......

Or even going further, unless LAINSY *is* Scarlet............................................................................. then Shocked

Ugh, I can't. It seemed to be hinted at through my communications. I'll see what I can find after classes today.

What about that device that Genus made from the LPFG and time desynch armor? Y'know, the one that he used to escape from Space Command and sent us to the future?

From a few pages back:
godder wrote:
Well, The Tuncarma project is a time desynchronization armor. Who ever uses it will be temporarily out of phase from the real time by about 1 seconds and will then be "invincible". Basically, the user is there with us like normal, however they are on a different time plane from us and thus they can't be affected by anything on our time plane. It's almost done, and the Russian government was very happy with it. They are actually planning to use it soon once we start mass producing them. Damn, the russian govern will be mad if they know one of the prototypes is out there and can be "captured" by the USAF.

Anyways, the LPFG or LMAO Portable Field Generator is, as the name suggests, is portable field generator for the LMAO technology. I know you are all aready aware of how LMAO works, but it takes so much energy and uses up so much space just to create a field. Now, the one Orein has is a protype of the portable version. It does work, but not perfectly. And I'm not entirely sure how he'll use it.

True, we could maybe send the ships into the collapsing alternate reality (if it hasn't already collapsed), or maybe another one altogether.

THIS IS NOT GOOD:
Code:
 ### SYSTEM REVIVED ###
Inspecting available systems . . . DONE
URGENT INFORMATION: THREAT WITHIN WARNING ZONE
LAINSY SAYS: Defensive systems disabled!

URGENT INFORMATION: Facility infiltration detected! Colorado Facility incursion warning!
LAINSY SAYS: 267 FATALITIES DETECTED.

SYSTEM WARNING: LAINSY BIO-AI PROCESSING CORE LEVEL BREACH!

LAINSY SAYS: Looks like they ar * $      #     af            )

SYSTEM WARNING: MANUAL SCARLET EJECTION DETECTED! BIO-AI CORE COMPROMISED!

 ### SYSTEM WIPE INITIATED ###
Caution! System wipe will delete all databases and will cause deactivation of security
locks in place! This process cannot be aborted!

WIPE IN PROGRESS . . .


What do we do???
Also, "BIO-AI?" That sort of lends credence to the LAINSY IS Scarlet theory.

Oh shit.

So now what do we do?! Apparently LAINSY's "weapons" didn't work out that well after all...
