((First off, I would like to explain that this is likely going to be a never-ending thread. This takes place in any one of the Annulus Institute's workshops, intended to be a collection of posts for the purpose of research and development. If your character is working on something big within the confines of the headquarters, please let me know and I will add their project to the list! If the category in which they're working in isn't listed here either, please inform me and I will add it if it is reasonable.))
Something is scrawled on a sheet of paper pinned outside the institute's workshop sector. Upon closer inspection, it seems as if Sebastian has written it.
SUBMISSION RULES
1a. For the convenience of organization, please declare what you are working on (send me a message in private, please) before starting your research. I will add it here accordingly.
1b. You must submit your entry to me in this format:
CATEGORY OF SUBMISSION: ENERGY/WEAPONS/INTELLIGENCE/ANTI-VIRUS/MISC
MEMBER NAME - FIELD SPECIALTY (ENERGY, WEAPONS, INTELLIGENCE, ANTI-VIRUS, MISCELLANEOUS) - NAME OF PROJECT - STATUS ([color=green]COMPLETE[color], [color=yellow]IN PROGRESS[/color], [color=red]HALTED[/color])2. Members may be assigned to only one project at a time. If you switch to something else, further progress on the former entry will be considered "HALTED" and you will not be able to work on it until you switch projects once again.
3. "HALTED" projects may be picked up at any time by another member if they have access to necessary equipment - nothing is off limits.
4. I will not add your entry to the list if it seems like you are generalizing the subject of research. In other words, we must research the science of what it is that we wish to accomplish before we can synthesize it! It makes no sense to research the end-point when we have no base to work from.
Dearest regards, your esteemed colleague, Doctor Sebastian Olweus.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Energy Projects
- Sizeable chunks, folks, the energy crisis isn't solved in one fell swoop. Individual, SMALL portions of research will only be added.
Weapon Projects
- As a research organization, we are definitely not excluded from the dangers of virtual society. Some would call us fanatics, some would hate us, others would destroy our equipment in an attempt to usher in an era of anarchy. We need weapons.
- SEBASTIAN OLWEUS - WEAPONS - ANTI-BALLISTIC MATERIALS - STATUS: IN PROGRESS
Intelligence Projects
- We always need to be one step ahead of the game. Take a page from me, for example. I've built a network interface device so that I can monitor crucial information systems present in our world. We need more of that - if the virtual realm's information is easily available to us, we will have the upper hand in survival.
Anti-Virus Projects
- I hate to admit it, but I've destroyed many viruses without a second thought. But... I want to see a world in which viruses don't exist! We've justified our crimes against killing the infected for too long. If you have a project that may aid us in curing their ailment, please declare it now and work diligently!
Miscellaneous
- We all have different ideas that don't fall in line with our goals once in a while, it happens. But if you do have something that may help and doesn't fit into the above categories, please submit it here.
