Edward-Dorm
"It may be old fashioned, but yes I use paper." Edward said witha shrug, he couldn't really explain to anyone why he used paper, he just liked it, and rpeferred it over a plasma screen at times.
He looked over Rann's shoulder,
"Glad to see I'm not the only one stumped by this. I have been able to deduce a few things though. see here," pointing to a cylinder running along the center of the generator. "from what i have been able to tell its compressed gas. It seems to be what powers the shield itself. I haven't had time to run tests on it but my guess sit aht somehow the excited gas creates a polarized field at x distance from the generator opening." he said suggesting to the opening at the end of the cylinder.
"the field then acts like polarized glass, it blocks 50% of the waves in the electromagnetic spectrum. Now this smaller chamber here, seems to contain a different gas, which i assume produces yet another polarizeds shield blocking the other 50% of the spectrum." he looked at Rann to see if he was understanding, by the look on his face Ed could tell he was,
"I agree it is entirely inefficient I don't know why they created it. but since its only polarized gas, everything physical can pass right through it. That's my guess, I thought mayb you would be able to make more out of it, besides I'm meant to improve it and I have no ideas were to start."

"How about this," Rann said, standing up. "I go to class, and meet you in the lab, where I'll get to see this in more detail, either on a holo projector or in person, doesn't matter."
"We'll get to find out if college is all it's cracked up to be." he said as he exited the door.

Edward, dorm
"please, I can tell you right now lectures are pointless and boring, I'll have the stuff at the lab ready for when you get out."
Edward went to get his bag, only to realize that he didn't have one anymore, "Dam that ryki, now I have to buy a band new bag and PC. Oh well I needed an upgrade anyways."
With that Edward left the university and went shopping ofr new stuff. he picked up the latest Mac portable computer, as well as a new messenger bag, after he was done shopping he went bac to the university and went to check the chemistry lab, the place was overun with government officials, and health inspectors. Dr. Trepe was there.
"Hey edward, sorry for not believing you earlier, they found remains of a Rykar grenade, they said you were lucky to be alive, you should have been blown to shreds." Edward jsut looked at the scene emotionless,
"How am I to do my research now?" he asked her,
"Well considering it was not a chemical accident, the university will provide you with another lab for you to continue your research."
"Have they got any information regarding the Ryki that stole the data?"
"I'm afraid they have that as classified information and will not share with us."
Edward nodded and turned to leave,
"I'll be in the physics lab, Just send me a message when a lab is ready for me, I have a feeling rithum has more secrets than we are aware of."
With that he left and went to the physics lab, where he set up the generator for Rann to inspect. He began to looka t it himself, unable to think of anyways to improve the system, other than scrapping the entire thing.

Rann, Class
Rann walked in and sat down, only to find that it was someone else's seat. He reluctantly moved, it would only make himself look immature if he went on about the immaturity of demanding that someone leave your seat rather than just find another.
At least he was closer to the back of the room now...
The professor walked in and began lecturing about things that Rann already knew, and his eyelids got droopy...
He awoke to someone slapping him on the back of the head. "Class has been over for ten minutes!" the professor shouted.
"Sorry." Rann offered, picking up his computer and putting it in his pocket.
"Who are you anyway? I haven't seen you all year."
"Rann." he answered. "I just came here."
"Right. See that you don't sleep in my class anymore."
And people say that college professors don't care... Rann thought bitterly.
He made his way to the lab where he found mostly ashes and charred remains of furniture and computers.
"Excuse me," Rann asked the nearest person, "Where is Edward working?"
The lady pointed down the hall, and Rann walkied in.
"Is that it?" Rann asked, pointing to the generator.

Mark -- Space
"*Sigh* Damn it's boring..."
Several hours of space travel had passed and not a thing had happened. No radar spikes, Rykar smugglers, not even any interesting conversation. Mark ate the Pop-Tart he stowed away in his pocket, unstrapped himself from his seat and tried to sleep.
But sleep never came to him.
"What the?!" a voice from the 501st exclaimed over the radio, Mark came to from his trance.
"What is it?" he asked in confusion. Then he saw it. They were flying through an ominous white mist cloud. Only, the cloud was littered with spacecraft--or rather pieces of them. Large chunks of battleship hulls lingered, concealed within the cloud. A graveyard.
Mark glanced down at his NavCom (navigation comuter). . . "No way. What are we doing here? Juac! Juac get up!" The 501st and the Wildcats were flying through what has come to be known as "The Blind Sector". The same place where the Battle of Blind had taken place [?#] years ago.
Mark opened a Comlink with Amilise, "Sub Genral Amilise, what exactly are we doing here?" Mark asked rather disrespectfully. No response came. The Wildcats had disappearded from the 501st's eyes.
"Where are they?" came a voice over the radio.
"I dunno," answered another.
A small flash of light flared in the clouds in front of them and a 501st fighter exploded. Mark pulled away from the blast as did the other pilots as several more silent shots crashed through the squad. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!" Mark screamed, "Juac, you there?!"
OOC: left the wildcat dialogue to you channler.

Edward-Physics lab,UM
Edward looked up when Rann entered.
"Yes That is it over there," he said looking back down at the laser he was dismantling, "Feel free to test it out." he said without looking, he was placing his trust that Rann would be able to diassemble the generator without supervision. If the boy required constant monitoring, then Ed would hve to let him go.
Before Rann could ask Edward pointed aross the room,
"That's the testing room, if you tweak the system take it back there to test, and leave the room. it's made of double reinforced acrylic so that you can observe it from the outside, and should it blow up it will be in that contained room. " he loosened and removed the outer casing of the laser,
"Just look through the drawers and cabinets if you can't find something. Might as well figure it out youself, I could lecture you were everything is, but I doubt you would pay attention"

"Lady, if you help me up I'll tell you to what extent of trouble your brother is in."
His current position on the floor was uncomfortable, and his hands were bound, making it difficult to regain balance.

Juac Andrews
Site of the Battle of the Blind
-=-
The thunder resounded hard against the concrete coloumns of the building. It was a sound that Juac hadn't heard for ages, or merely years but the meaning was the same. The crude destruction that came from the brilliant flash was quite apparent to him as he casually strolled out into the growing downpour.
The sounds and feelings reminded him of any growing battle, the cliched calm before the storm. But that was exactly how it was.
Juac woke of then
-=-
"What the hell..?" Was all that managed to escape from Juac mouth before his hands instantaniously went flight controls. "COMPUTER?! WHAT THE hamster IS GOING ON!"
Juac screamed at the inanimate object as he spiraled straight threw the wreckage of a exploding 501st fighter.
Warning. Computer systems down. Inter...
The main board computer shut down, leaving Juac piloting alone without a guidance system.
"hamster! Mark!? What the hell is happening?!" He screamed, forgeting to use their calsigns
No response. He pressed another button, the straight line to the captain.
"Captain! Status report!" Nothing "Captain?!!"
Another pilot had been trying to reach the captain as well, "Juac! He's dead! That was his ship.. What do we do?" Obvious horror in the mans voice. Juac readied a may-day call and launched the beacon, while turning on all comunications with the entire 501st.
"Listen" He thought he they could actually hear him, "Captains dead. And we all weill be if we don't figure out what the hamster is going on here. All flights, drop speed and switch to combat mode!"
"Wildcats. Please report. Our CO is confirmed KIA. Requesting assistance. Wildcats do you read me?"

Sub-General Anilise
Deck of the Goodfread
The figure chuckled her little evil laugh, and then turned to her "lacky", "Good, they are running around.." She paused for a second, "How do you say it? Like chickens with their heads cut off?" The General was experiencing to much glee for the senseless killing.
"Gunners, ready and fire another salvo."
Within moments two shells came streaking from the invisible BattleCruiser and slammed into two 501st fighters.
Mark quickly took in the current situation. From what he could tell the communications were down, the Wilcats had disappeared, they were back in The Blind Sector and a cloud was shooting at them.
"I have no hamster cave idea what is going on, Juac!" Mark yelled back into the mic. He turned his attention back to the area that they were being fired upon. Two more ships were hit; one getting decimated, the other losing a wing. Suddenly, the Cruiser emerged from the mist.
It was clear that 'Goodfread' of the Wildcats was firing on them. Mark laughed, "Well, Jua-- eh Rome, I'd say they don't like us very much."
OOC: hasty post, off for the night.

"Knock knock" He said with a funny tone as he looked over at the others in the Science Lab.

"Hmm, well I cant really feel much when some bullets make their way through my arm. But it's damanged, to high tech for me to fix..." Veda replied to Kratos as he looked up on the screen scratching his cheek.
"The Science Quarters... The Lab over there might have the right equipment" Veda said low as he looked up at the screen before moving his eyes on the direction for the Science Quarters.

Satyana pondered over what Syke just told her, suspecting he didnīt tell the whole truth, she was convinced that there was more to this issue, but decided not to comment.
Also she had no intention to even try to help Arthur up from his awkward position on the floor.....she did not trust that man one bit, he could very well just do something to her while helping him.
Then she noticed teo men entering, how they came in was a mystery, if they had a ship it must hav been docked to the station and she did not authorized some docking-procedure for some time now..but she didnīt really care, those men looked friendly and she needed some friends now..all this was utterly confusing.
"Will someone please rise that scum from the floor so we can hear what he has to say" she said coldly then turned to the newcomers smiling:

Rann, Lab
Rann transported the generator to the test area, but didn't bother with going behind the glass; too much effort.
He cut it on and pace back and forth through the wall as he studied it, trying to get an idea of how to improve this; there were many ways already forming in his head to improve the design, but none that would give any different results.
He left the test area, where he looked over Ed, suddenly more intersted in the laser since his mind wasn't working well with the generator.
Syke, Research Station
Syke held his finger on the trigger, in case the newcomers didn't return the warm welcome given by his sister.
He loked to ARthur who was on the floor; best that he didn't get up. Ever.

Edwards face was a few inches fromt he laser, as he picked his way through wires. he occasionally muttered something to himself,
"his is a hazard, the wires are acting as insulation, no wonder these things over heat." he muttered to himself, he then noticed the lab was quiet. he looked up to find Rann looking over his shoulder,
"Is there something you need...?"

He stood silent for several moments.

Peregrine Warrior, near Jupiter
They passed the Bottanics Space-Station without incident, but the problem was they were now in rather crowded space. The entire area off the side of Jupiter was one of the most condensed trading locations, mostly because the various space-stations around the Bottanics Trading Sector quickened their orbit speed so they passed Ganymede Twice a month, and the other moons were similarly often greeted by the rotating the trading area. The police were heavy but as long as the crew did not find themselves accidentally driving into any check-points they'd be fine.
"So you think your smuggler will be here?" Legg asked, looked about the ships buzzing around in confusion.
"No, I don't know, good a spot as any. Just keep moving, maybe we'll find something."
"We can't keep wasting fuel like this, at this rate we'll spend it in a week and a half."
"Good then we can just crash into a moon and be done with it," sneered Kramer.

Rann, Lab
"huh? What?" Rann asked, stumbling back as Ed turned around. He had obviously been taken away from whatever world he had been in.
"Oh yeah, I was just going to say that the beam is too small. While the wires act as insulation, the beam is too focused, if it was spread out more, more of the heat would escape, also lowering the heat level."
He started looking back at the generator as if he just had an idea. "I think I'm just going to scrap that generator and use parts to make a more efficient one, and then go from there." He sighed. "But not today; I'm tired."
Saying 'not today' was one of his favorite things to do, and was often why things naver made it past his scrap pile.
Edward, Lab
Edlooked at Rann dumbfounded for a second or two, trying to grasp what exactly rann was talking about, then it hit him,
"I see what you are saying, but then by widening the beam you loose some fo the power. But good eye anyways, It's lacking cooling system, which baffles me to the extreme, why build something that is guaranteed to heat up and not include a cooling system." he said once again in his own little world, he went back to fiddleling with the laser,
"why not today? if you don't at least record your ideas you may forget them by tomorrow." he said this as his hands moved methodically, yet enthusiastically along the bundles of cables, trying to track the purpose of each one. he glanced up at Rann quickly, his eyes serious
"procrastination is not an option, and judging from the pile of scrapmetal in your ship you don't procrastinate, you forget" and then he pulled out the core of the laser from the guns, and set it out on the counter, a dozen or more cables trailing behind it.

"Alright mom." he mumbled as he grabbed some tools out of a drawer and went to work dismantling the generator.
Rann sorted all of the pieces out on the floor, and looked at it; there had to be something better than gas...
Why not the laser power cell? If he could possibly mimic it...Ed could help with some of it, and he could do some as well...
Rann walked out of the testing room again and moved Ed away from the laser by grabbing his shoulders. When Rann was in front of the object, he disconnected the power cell and held it up.
"Let's make a larger version of this; A physics expert like yourself could find a way to make it power some sort of...anti-laser." he said for lack of a better word. "Then the whole gas chamber thing is eliminated; if this thing can concentrate a laser, it could easily do the same with something else; we just have to figure out what."
"Wait; can a laser penetrate another laser? I'll admit I don't know much about them."

after Edward was moved he simply stood back and listened to Rann,
"anti-laser.... hmm yes sounds very professional," he said jokingly. he walked over to the dismantled generator,
"I hope you can put this back together," he said as h sat down next to Rann, he got out a plasma screen and begin to write on it using the stylus,
"Well a laser is a focused beam of radiation, so there is no way we could surround a ship in it, because its too dispersed to be of any use, you would be better of using an incandescent light for the same thing. as such I'm sure two lasers of the same frequency would nullify each other, but at different wavelengths they wouldn't do diddily squat." he drew out how a laser basically works,
"you have a mirrored chamber filled with a gas, liquid, or solid. you then excite the substance, forcing the electrons into higher energy states. as the electrons drop down to a lower energy state they release a photon. In releasing a photon, the electron stimulates other electrons to do the same thing. so now you have a chamber filled with photons moving about randomly. they begin bouncing of the precisely shaped mirrors, until they begin to align with each other. then the photon beam begins to leave the chamber in an unaltered and straight path. ." he sketched it all out of the screen for Rann.
"Though it was a good idea, I see no feasible way to make it work. and even if it did, we still have the problem of physical objects breaking through" he said this not in a demeaning manner, as he was simply trying to teach Rann something.

"I see what you're saying, but I don't think you would have any problem with Rykar coming through; they would be quite dead."
"There has to be a better way than concentrated gas though. That thing is ridiculous." he said, pointing to the dismantled generator.
Edward- Lab
Edward smiled, "yes, yes it is. Only I don't know what can work, I can think of only one thing that would do it, but it has never been manipulated like that before, and I don't know how we would power enough to surround a ship, unless they wired it directly to the sun. I don't know Rann, honestly I am at a loss over that piece of crap,"
then smoething about what Rann jsut said flipped a switch in Edwards mind,
"You are right, gas is stupid, maybe if we construct a liquid or solid laser, we could get a better result."

"yes, fiber optics are an example of a solid laser. but no like have somethign like a crystal or metal of some sort, were the faceted sides act like a mirror, that way when let's say you poke it with an electrode, it becomes excited and bounces off the interior surfaces. sort of like a cut jewel. only we have it so that after a certain point, a focused laser comesout the other end. and since it is solid you should be able to get more energy behind it.... mayb," the possibilities raced through Edwads head.

Rann was going through the possiblities as well, before realizing that if such a thing existed, it would be a little harder than the were making it out to be.
Rann paced around as he often did. He still didn't think there was a metal laser; a little too far-fetched.
"Well," Rann said, laying down on the counter where the generator once was. "Wake me up when you find this metal laser."

"Let me go to my ship and get my tools." Rann said, taking out one of his pistols and putting it beside Ed. "Just until I get back." he explained.
He walked out the door, and made his way to his ship.
He came back moments later carrying a big toolbox. "Here we go."
He opened it up and found an old candy bar. "I was looking for that." he said to himself as he began contentedly munching while thinking.
"Why exactly am I helping you with building when you don't even have your concept?" Rann asked through a mouthful of old chocolate.

"Why? becuase things take prototypes, and While I'm good at concept I suck at bringing it to life. That is what you are here to do, We have hundred if not thousands of prototypes we will need before we figure this out, Both of these projects are not weekend retreats, they are extremely complicated pieces of science and technology. We have a chance at making ahistory, and that will take time, patience, nad dissapointment."
Edward said pacing back and forth, he was brimming with nervous energy,
"Lets see, we are going to need powersupplies, support chassis, So many places to start, but I guess the first stage is building an adequate frame, a powersupply, and a holster for whateer we decide to try. Hmm might want some emergency coolant should the thing overheat."
Edward began scribbling again, then he stopped looked at Rann, you get workin on the physical stuff. I am goign to go see what we have in the chemistry lab that we can use."
with that he stepped out of the lab, and walked into various chem labs and storage rooms(OOC: the rooms have I.D. locks ont hem, not like you can jsut go prancing through them) , searching through cabinets, freezers, and boxes, for anything that might be a good laser conduit.
He returned with a cart full of vials,

Rann stared blankly at Ed as he gave his inspirational speech. It was pretty much wasted on Rann's ears. Time, patience, and dissapointment weren't exactly Rann's favorite things in the world.
Nevertheless, he began getting out some tools. Seeing as he had no idea what they were working on anymore, he made two piles. One was a pile of tools that he figured he would need for the laser, and the other for the generator.
"Damn," Rann muttered to himself. "I don't even think I'm getting paid for this."

"Paid? sure you do, Did i not mention that to you. The HDF pays us for the research, and we also get money from the intergalctic research grants organization. Besides when you get to play and create, who needs to get paid,"
With that he setup a station at a table, and began getting tools for cutting the samples into the needed forms. and then Ed pulled out the ebook, "165th editiong chemistry and physics handbook" and began to go through it, recoding the refraction data that was available for his cart of possibilities. he glanced up at Rann, who seemed lost and confused,
"Well... do something, copy that thing, jsut not exactly, I need it so that the core is accesible. and also we want as much space as possible so that we don't have to worry about heat." pointing at the laser.

After we figure everything out, we can shrink it however we need it." he said as he began heating a sheet of metal to form into the shape of his gun.
He called for a messenger boy to get him some old pieces of scrap metal and went to work on a few more objects of similar shapes and sizes before finding the right one.
"This'll do for the frame, now for some interior." he said to himself as he inspectd the wires and other things involved in the alien weapon.
"I guess we could steal this power cell for now until we can make something better."

Satyana
station 413, research centre
Satyana pondered over what Syke just told her, suspecting he didnīt tell the whole truth, she was convinced that there was more to this issue, but decided not to comment.
Also she had no intention to even try to help Arthur up from his awkward position on the floor.....she did not trust that man one bit, he could very well just do something to her while helping him.
Then she noticed teo men entering, how they came in was a mystery, if they had a ship it must hav been docked to the station and she did not authorized some docking-procedure for some time now..but she didnīt really care, those men looked friendly and she needed some friends now..all this was utterly confusing.
"Will someone please rise that scum from the floor so we can hear what he has to say" she said coldly then turned to the newcomers smiling:
"Welcome to our little party, Iīm Satyana Viann, commander here, and who might you be?"

Kratos
"I'm Major Kratos and my friend here is Major Veda. We just arrived here, and this is not what we expected to find. Care to explain what the hell is going on?"

Veda
Outside Mars, Research Center 413 - Science Quarters
"We're from the newly made SOC-A Division of the Human Defense" Veda said to Satyana continuing after Kratos, "I think we can take our affairs later..." Veda added before he looked down on the handcuffed man.
"Enemy Officer you say?" Veda questioned him with a raised eyebrow.
Veda soon rememberd the message they got while near Pluto about somekind of trouble over at the Research Center.
Avlin Cox - Mars
Avlin whistled a merry tune as the Swashbuckler docked in a Martian spaceport. "Alright then, crew.." , he said over the intercom. "Khalid, Jecq, Chris, I want the three of ya to help me get the shipment to it's final destination. The rest of you assorted scumbags can go out at your leasure, but don't all of you get overly drunk. Keep an eye on Jeremy for me, too. Oh, and keep your grubby paws away from other people's chicks. This message was brought to you by me, obviously."
The band of lowlife that was the crew of the Swashbuckler cheerfully abandoned it, with Avlin leaving behind three of them. The four of them thusly transported [ooc: by whatever way used now] the illicit goods to Mars' university.
University Of Mars, A Short Time Later
Avlin knocked/rang/whatever way used onto the door of the University's delivery entrance.

Edward-UM
"Ya sure Rann, that sounds perfect," He told Rann and then returned to the ebook in front of him,
Edward worked his way down he list, jotting down pages and pages of data on the many materials to be tested, after he jotted them down, he got out his new laptop, and began tapping away at teh keyboard, as he recorded everything in nice neat tables. and drew schematics for each chemical, at what angle it should b cut, how muc power would be needed. Since the room was dim (edward likes working in the dark) the blue glow of the screen reflected of his glasses. the intercom came on,
"Chemistry departmet, a new shipment has arrived for student McKain, Will Edward McKain, or a professor, please report to the delivery port to pick up the package, THank you, <click>" Edward stood up and stretched, he looekd over at Rann who was busy constructing the frame,
"I'll be back," he walked out of the lab down several flight to the delivery dock, where he saw some rough looking men next to a crate, no doubt the nearly priceless shipment of rithum samples,
"Hey there, I'm here to take the package of your hands," he said as he showed them his I.D. they would no doubt have to scan it to make sure it was delivered to teh right man,

Avlin Cox - Ye olde University of Mars, Delivery Entrance
Avlin took a largely self-made (and odd-looking) ID scanner out of a pocket and ran it over Edward's ID. The device bleeped a few times and a green light flashed.
"Okay, it's looking genuine. I'm going to need the money, though."

"Money? What money," he replied, he didn't know anything about money, as far as he knew the HDF was covering the cost.

"Yeah, for the...laboratory equipment. *snicker* Who do you think is paying for it, the government?"
[ooc: Most such transactions are cash, IIRC]

OOC: you realize that the government is actually behind this right?

"Well...yes, I suppose I missed some small print somewhere," he got out his wallet, and handed the man a card, he wasn't in the mood to argue
"Here take it out of my research funds, there should be enough there to cover the cost"
(OOC: we hardly use cash no a days, I hardly think there will be much paper or metal passing hands in 3000, it will be digital)
