With the announcement in the news recently that a large search company will be pursuing technology that will detect defective cells and continue their research into this with nanoparticles, I wanted to talk a little about nanomachines and their use in grydscaen.
The operatives at the Psi Faction are infused with nanomachines for their second level of psi conditioning. Besides the fact that these nanomachines help to stabilize psychic power they also help the operative by optimizing their cells and getting rid of free radicals and cells affected by radiation. Ever since the dropping of the Dionysis Effect nuclear bomb on the Zone in the Pacific Territories, all residents citizens and non citizens alike are required to take iodine pills to stave off the negative effects of the radiation and combat radiation sickness.
Some operatives like Blue have special nanomachines that make it so he can not get sick along with the red he was given at his psi conditioning. The nanomachines enhance the operative’s power and stabilize the codess and make it more controllable. The free flow of psi waves is controlled by the construct and the schema that work together to form the psi core.
Nanomachines like those in grydscaen were developed by the SenseNet which is a strong player in the technology and psi space. They are even the creators of psi inducer drugs which work with the codess and nanomachines to give psychic operatives optimal control over their power.
With the announcement today in the news which may be too far outside the realm of science at this time to be successful, we can see the beginnings of what is talked about in grydscaen. More research is needed into this type of technology and the potentials it has to the medical field.
In grydscaen the nanomachine infusion is done at the second level of conditioning. The transfusion is very painful and takes a few hours but the psychic after some sleep will feel more powerful and have better control of his psi.
The nanomachines are also described in the book grydscaen: tribute in the story “Client Side Slide” where Faid is using them to assist in his hack into the Elite government mainframe. Using his cyberwire which is a medical procedure done to a psychic hacker that infuses nanomachines and cybernetics to the brainstem, the nanomachines help him to infiltrate the system.
Grydscaen starts from the base of science and extrapolates out to the year 2055. We are just seeing the germination of some of the technology that has strong roots in the grydscaen world. More research is needed into telekinesis, bilocation, remote viewing, nanomachines and psychic power, as well as mobile machine technology such as the mobile frames.
Technology is changing faster than the laws can keep up with it. In the short story “Article 15” in grydscaen: tribute we see a case where the law and the psychic power are at odds. We see this today in Internet law and the difficulties in catching black hat hackers and their exploits across the net.
The progress may be slow and the ideas are out there. Grydscaen just makes it all a reality now.
