Quantum Tentacles OOC Plotting
So this basically falls into TWO PARTS: the first part is aimed at Science/Tech types, and the second is aimed at anyone who wants to be involved/affected by weird connections to someone else.
The Precursor: on Feb 10th some weird tech comes through the portal. Basically I'm looking for any and all interested characters to poke at it, leading into the device activating on the 12th. Prometheus Labs is going to be involved, but basically it's still open to other science-types to poke and try and figure out what the tech does. The tech involvesweaponizing manipulating the principle of quantum entanglement and some level of re-writing the laws of physics. Nothing to worry about, clearly. The tech is a large device with a central unit and tentacles that contain smaller units which need to be hooked into a power source (from a certain point of view it looks strangely like the hydra symbol, but that's clearly coincidental...)
Effects: The effects are mostly on the lines of skill shares, seeing through other peoples' eyes, feeling their emotions, knowing if they're hurt and any sort of stuff along that lines that people want to play with. Information sharing is possible to the limits of whatever people are comfortable with. Power-sharing is also possible as well as memories, but the later mostly comes in fragments and is generally more *recent* memories, or memories that someone is actively reflecting on instead of just random past events.
The machine causes a one-way link between two people. One is the transmitter and one is the receiver. Thus reciprocal links are possible, just not the most common arrangement.
There is a "consensually letting the other person into your mind" thing that allows much deeper access and goes both ways, but this is not something that would just sort of "happen", and would require two people intentionally trying to see how far they could push that connection. This all ends by disabling the device, which is non-trivial.
Endgame: Disabling it is normally accomplished by synthesizing a code to the genetic pattern of a specific person's DNA, and turning that into a computer virus of sorts that would have to be delivered by someone that's a genetic match. This is clearly... not an ideal solution, so if you have ideas / questions / things your character is going to poke at, leave them under the top level.
But if nothing else is done, Ava is going to zap the fuck out of it just before dawn on the 15th.
Once the machine is destroyed the connection breaks, powers will be only with the original holder, and all mental affectations will cease (timing can be customized to player preference with a come-down time of several hours). Memories gained via the event will change in tenor, but not in content: the difference between remembering diving off a high board vs. remembering your friend tell you about that time he dove off the high board.
There is an option for losing memories entirely but only by player desire, and only memories gained through this event.
Opt-Out: Basically anyone who doesn't want to be affected isn't. There's a genetic component, so opt-outs are mostly based on wrong body chemistry. It's more based on resonance and attraction so proximity to the machine is not a yes/no factor. Basically it's entirely possible to be part of the tech crew, but not be personally affected.
So this is a standard OOC plotting post. What are you doing, what are you looking for? Go out there and make connections, kids.
