Research on suits notes…

I’m including some of my notes from my visit to look at the suits…

I had forgotten, Ani’s other sister, cousin Jenny now assists as a trump advisor to Spec Ops. She teamed with me for the investigation.

“The two suits you have to look at have both had the first stage
re-programming that was done by Spec Ops when they were first discovered
back in March (it’s now August 2009). This means that they don’t
immediately turn their wearers into slaves of Ghostwheel. They do leave
the wearer with a strong instinct to defend and protect Earth.

They are a symbiotic life form with a very odd artificial intelligence,
that amounts to programming rather than thinking. The basic OS melds
with the wearer’s mind, immediately augments combat and presence by 20
points, augments strength and endurance by 10 points, this is paid for
by reducing psyche by 20 points, and adds a layer of armour, a high
degree of magic resistance, and the thing that nobody spotted the first
time through – a back channel Trump link to – ???

They have also got a variety of Shape Shift that has been termed ‘Self
Repair’ and can be extended to the wearer, unless the wearer’s own shape
shift ability is already better than that. They are almost as good as a
Goa’uld sarcophagus at keeping their wearer’s body alive. They
automatically re-size themselves to fit their wearer, and wearers that
do not conform to a 1960s version of Superhero classic body shape will
find themselves being changed to that shape over extended wearing
(moderate amount of muscles, clean, healthy, no excess body fat).

They are very anatomically correct, with gender specific versions, and
they include a level of ‘calming’ that basically is sexual stimulation
for the wearer. They are powered (fed) partly by consuming all
excretions of the wearer except from the head (and the top of the thighs
in the case of the female version) and also by another means that was
also missed during the early investigations, but has now become
apparent, namely Ley energy. And Yes – they can eat from the St. James
Ley lines.

They actively encourage (or demand depending on how you look at it) a
higher than normal level of eating and drinking in the wearer (sexual
pleasure as a reward), and use shape shift extruded anal and urethral
probes to ensure that they get their share of the excess consumed.
Wearers end up with zero body hair from the neck down minutes after
putting one on.

They use electro-stimulation to exercise muscles in the wearer if they
stay immobile for extended periods of time, and they have limited
ability to awaken a sleeping wearer if their own danger sense is
triggered.

Good and bad. It assumes the reprogramming was 100 percent effective
>and there are no lurking backdoor bits of code to cause problems later.

>Who did the reprogramming?

Spec Ops has much better hackers than it does sorcerers. There are any
number that could do it. In this case Special Agent Riki Fukushima.

Feels like a bit of demon in there. Not a lot, but some.

they dig
themselves into their wearer with a view to becoming even more
indispensable – and when you’ve been living for a while with
significantly increased physical abilities, never having any longer to
bother about social graces like visiting a lavatory, and getting your
rocks off pretty much full time, they sure can be indispensable.

In summary, they turn you into a dumbed down, sex addict who feels all powerful and hot while making you want to defend earth.

My notes from my conversation with Anabelle suggest that if you become brain damaged or dead while wearing a suit that:

“the suit actually downloaded a personality into the body and effectively created a new person. The unexpected result was the the suits seem to have access to a wide range of remarkably powerful powers. They are capable of Trumping the primary node. However, what they are able to do via trump is fairly limited. Ghost Specter, which is what she calls herself, is rather keen on getting back and ‘fixing’ the problems with the primary node.”

Learning this, I recommended recall and destruction.

If it had only been a matter of distributing technology and having botched the initial testing…it would have seriously shaken my confidence.

But to distribute equipment which is known to be addictive, decrease intelligence, and impart a loyalty imperitive? That they did know before handing them out.

They did not share that information with the agents in advance.

I find that unacceptable.

Asgarde banner

The Asgarde Banner- The White Tree

(Press release from the Court of the External Empire to the journalists covering the Royal Wedding.)

We have had many requests for information and much curiousity over the banner of our Regensia in Waiting, Arnhilde Asgarde.

The Regensia is from an old family that traces its heritage from the Thelbane Hendrakes; however, it has spent much of the last several thousand years on St. James and was responsible for the Norse/Viking tradition recorded in that world’s history. The characters and symbols are Old Norse runes, a ancient symbolic language of that land.

The significance of the Heraldry is as follows:

The central figure is Algiz- Defender.

It is said to be taken from Elk’s horns or Eolh Sedge, a plant which is said to wound and burn the blood of those who try to uproot it.

Also the figure is associated with the Tree of Life, Ygg.

The Norse Hexagram appears in the center of the Tree of the large rune. The six pointed star in the center, has many arcane meanings including a balance between material and spiritual worlds and the union between man and god. The overlapping triangles of fire and water combine to represent all four elements and together transcend to indicate the fifth element, spirit. Each point may be labeled with a virtue of Divinity that we may aspire to emulate: Power, Wisdom, Majesty, Love, Mercy and Justice.

Large rune to the lower right is Othila- Homeland, and symbolizes a beloved place where all is right and fair and all may enjoy their place in peace and prosperity. The Aasgarde consider themselves defenders of the land they inhabit.

Also this rune is an acknowledgement of Odin as a patron God and ancestor of the Regensia’s family.

Jera- symbolizing Eternity is near the right branch of the Tree.

Its meaning is hope and the sharing of the fruits of harvest and hard work fall equally to both the rich and the poor.

The small Character near middle branch is Raido- Journey.

This rune symbolizes a journey that takes us far from our beginnings or comfortable homes over many paths and may be difficult.

Dagaz- symbolizing Awakening and the New Day sits near the left branch.

Dagaz symbolizes Light, the messenger of the gods and which brings happiness and consolation to all men.

We hope this will help satisfy the curiousity so many have to get to know our new Regensia better. For the younger children who may be wanting to include the Regensia’s banner in their flag making efforts it should be noted that a White Tree is the unofficial form of the banner and is completely acceptable to use!

Casablanca Children’s Welcome Cadre

The Children of Casablanca are hereby appointed Welcome Ambassadors to Visiting Royalty for the Wedding Week and Royal visit. All children are encouraged to show their civic pride and duty by turning out to express our excitement to our Royal Visitors from other lands.

Children are encouraged to make their own artistic renditions of the visitors’ heraldry and colors and turn out to show our Royal Guests their creations by waving them vigorously and shouting out as the Royals pass.

To assist in this, teachers, tutors and schoolmasters will be given examples of each of the appropriate banners for the children to interpret and copy for display. Don’t be shy! Work with heart and enthusiasm and be proud. Who knows maybe it will be your flag that makes one of our visitors see how heartfelt our welcome is!

We are proud that so many of Casablanca’s talented children will be showing their skills for our visitors to see and appreciate and even prouder that our children will step up as part of the Welcome of Casablanca!
