Isn't that where you met Miss Tabitha?

Yes indeed. Its also where I got the three legged bunny I gave Ben and Molly.

Those legs WERE where legs normally are on a bunny, right?

It's best avoided.

Too bad we couldn't set up some kind of barrier to keep things from crossing over.

Bad idea Ron. I have seen what happens to normal people if you cut them off from the Dream Stream.
Insanity is not fun to watch. :shock:

I thought that everyone had their own dreampool which was seperate from the dreamstream?

The big problems with Not Me came when he escaped Hannah's pool and got into the dreamstream at large.

At least that's what I think you told me.

Yes everyone has their own Dream Pool, this is how people interface with the Dream Stream.
Think of it as a filter if you wish. Or as a Breaker, to keep people's mind's from being overloaded. Either works as an example.
Basicly you just can't cut people off from the Dream Stream as it can over extended periods lead to some pretty nasty results.

I'm more worried baout keeping what's in the dreamstream away from the waking world.

Your intentions are good Ron, but remember that they also pave the road to hell. Sometimes there are places we simply can not, and should not, close the door to.

I don’t think I agree with that, Konrad. There are some doors that should definitely be locked tighter than a line.

Besides, without good intentions, we would have no trail to follow back out of hell.

Tell that to Orpheus.

I totally agree Ellie, which is why I put "Sometimes".

If I end up going to Hell, I don't mind. It's keeping the rest of the world from doing the same that matters to me.

I don't see you giving up even if you go there Mr. Caliburn I see them having to call back troops to deal with you there.

Never give up, never surrender, right Mr. Caliburn? Take the fight to them and make them pay with their lives.

You're one insightful kid Sophoroto.

Ron Caliburn · Post by **Ron Caliburn** » Tue Aug 28, 2007 8:27 pm

Pretty much.

If spiting in the devil's face is the last act I ever do, I'll go out smiling.

Sophoroto · Post by **Sophoroto** » Wed Aug 29, 2007 9:24 am

Thank you Mr. GhostSpider.

Mr. Caliburn, I think that you would do more than spit in his face, more like spit on your fist then hit him in the face.

Mr. Caliburn, would you be interested in range testing a new form of firearm that I have developed? It relies on the principals of an electro magnetic accellerator, but I have managed to get the size down to that of a rifle. So far the power pack (size of a car battery) is good for six shots, but the materiel fired can be anything woth a magnetic bead at the base, penetration tests have shown results that vary based on the projectile fired, as does the recoil (the weapon is stable firing rounds of up to 0.5 Kg)

Ron Caliburn · Post by **Ron Caliburn** » Wed Aug 29, 2007 8:41 pm

Sounds pretty hefty . . . I tend to keep my field weapons lighter and easier to reload than that. Might make an interesting anti-materiel class weapon though.

If you want to send it to me, I can take a look at it and figure out what might make it more field worthy.

GhostSpider · Post by **GhostSpider** » Wed Aug 29, 2007 10:46 pm

Sounds technical, but also very cool.

Kei Nakamura · Post by **Kei Nakamura** » Thu Aug 30, 2007 12:46 pm

Actually the entire device, without ammo weighs in at appoximately 3 kilos, just had to make sure that teh thing would not shake apart fireing particularly heavy materiel. The pellets that go into the base of each round (full breach load so projectile length is not an issu beyond the .5 kilo limit) only weigh 3 grams each, the power supply is the current issue, working on a fuel cell, but still need to improve the containment to make that component safe enough for field testing, that unless you want the 100 round energy capacity in a 1 kilo package that will detonate with ehough force to turn an IFV inside out if it take a hard hit....

GhostSpider · Post by **GhostSpider** » Thu Aug 30, 2007 12:57 pm

Sounds like a minor setback to me.

Kei Nakamura · Post by **Kei Nakamura** » Thu Aug 30, 2007 7:43 pm

That is why it has to make do with the 6 shot Lion plymer pack the size of a care battery, havent gotten hydrogen fuel cells stable enout, and hydrogen peroxide in the purities required for a power cell is too reactive to try with anything that may be breached in use.

Ron Caliburn · Post by **Ron Caliburn** » Thu Aug 30, 2007 8:04 pm

Yeah, I've heard of the potential they have - though in my line of work, over penetration is a real danger.

Still, some work with it to see what it can be made of can be done.
