Temp is the greatest artist around - He does so much stuff ! :congratulatory:

Imagine Temp at airport security: "So your passport says your name is...Temp ?".

"That is indeed correct. My parents used to play a lot of StarCraft, its short for Templar. BTW I do I lot of star crafting for the company I work for."

"Oh, you are a crafty little fella, are you?".

"Zerg attack in 23, don`t make me angry".

It's been over two months since someone posted here.

Fell down a rabbit hole of webcomics. :wilson_ecstatic:

I noticed while playing recently that some new songs were added and HOLY COW THEY ARE BOPS! I'm currently arranging them and will probably be posting them to youtube within the day. :wilson_goodjob:

For some reason though the latest update broke the tool I use to export the DLC files...the non-DLC files work just fine so I don't know what's up but I'm working through it.

From: Director Stern
<jstern@gravitas.nova>
------------------
    Director, I think I've found the perfect engineer candidate to design our small-scale colony machines.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Bringing Creative Workspace Ideas into the Industrial Setting
        Michael E.E. Perlmutter is a rising star in the world industrial design, making a name for himself by cooking up playful workspaces for a work force typically left out of the creative conversation.
        
        "Ergodynamic chairs have been done to death," says Perlmutter. "What I'm interested in is redesigning the industrial space. There's no reason why a machine can't convey a sense of whimsy."
        It's this philosophy that has launched Perlmutter to the top of a very short list of hot new industrial designers.

        Human Resources Coordinator

        ------------------

At first I was a little confused because I was like "Michael...I haven't heard of a dupe named that".

Then I put it together.

Michael E.E. Perlmutter.

Meep.

    From the time she was old enough to walk Captain Johannsen dreamed of reaching the sky. Growing up on an air force base she came to love the sound jet engines roaring overhead. At 16 she became the youngest pilot ever to fly a fighter jet, and at 22 she had already entered the space flight program.
    Four years later Gravitas nabbed her for an exclusive contract piloting our space shuttles. In her time at Gravitas, Captain Johannsen has logged over 1,000 hours space flight time shuttling and deploying satellites to Low Earth Orbits and has just been named the pilot of our inaugural civilian space tourist program, slated to begin in the next year.
    Gravitas is excited to have Captain Johannsen in the pilot seat as we reach for the stars...and beyond!
    
        Brought to you by the Gravitas Facility.

Ayyy so that's what she was so excited to go into space!

The first experiments with establishing a colony off planet were an unmitigated disaster. Without outside help, our current Artificial Intelligence was completely incapable of making the kind of spontaneous decisions needed to deal with unforeseen circumstances. Additionally, the colony subjects lacked the forethought to even build themselves toilet facilities, even after soiling themselves repeatedly.

While initial experiments in a lab setting were encouraging, our latest operation on non-Terra soil revealed some massive inadequacies to our system. If this idea is ever going to work, we will either need to massively improve the AI directing the subjects, or improve the brains of our Duplicants to the point where they possess higher cognitive functions.

Given the massive complications that I could forsee arising if our Duplicants were made less supplicant, I'm leaning toward a push to improve our Artificial Intellegence.

Meanwhile, we will have to send a clean up crew to destroy all evidence of our little experiment beneath the Ceres' surface. We can't risk anyone discovering the remnants of our failed colony, even if the likelihood or that happening won't be for another few decades at least.

(Sometimes it boggles my mind how much further behind the rest of the world is from Gravitas.)

We have been successfully using the Temporal Bow now for some time with no obvious consequences. I should be happy that this works so well, but several questions gnaw at my brain late at night.

If Time's Arrow is moving forward the Laws of Entropy declare that the universe should be moving from a state of order to one of chaos. If the Temporal Bow bends to a previous point in time to a point when things were more orderly, logic would dictate that we are making this point more chaotic by taking things from it. All known laws of the natural universe suggests that this should have affected our Present Day, but all evidence points to that not being true. It appears the theory that we cannot change our past was incorrect!

This suggests that Time is, in fact, not an arrow but several arrows, each pointing different directions. Fundamentally, this proves the existence of other timelines - different dimensions - some of which we can assume have also built their own Temporal Bow.

The promise of crossing this final dimensional threshold is too tempting. Imagine what things Gravitas has invented in another dimension!! I must find a way to tear open the fabric of spacetime and tap into the limitless human potential of a thousand alternate timelines.

Clearly Nikola is evil. He has some kind of scheme going on that he’s keeping secret from the rest of Gravitas and I haven’t been able to crack what that is because it’s offline and he’s always at his computer. Whenever I ask him what he’s up to he says I wouldn’t understand. Pfft! We both went through the same particle physics classes, buddy. Just because you mash a keyboard and I adjust knobs does not mean I don’t know what the Time Containment Field does.

And then today I dropped a wrench and Nikola nearly jumped out of his skin! He spun around and screamed at me never to do that again. And then when I said, "Geez, it’s not the end of the world," he was like, "Yeah, it’s not like the world will blow up if I get this wrong" really sarcastic like.

Which technically is true. If the Time Containment Field were to break down the Temporal Bow could theoretically blow up the world but that’s why there are safety systems in place. And safety systems on safety systems. And then safety systems on top of that. But then he built all the safety systems so if he wanted to…
------------------
I decided to get into work early today but when I got in Nikola was already there and it looked like he hadn’t been home all weekend. He was pacing back-and-forth in the lab, monologuing but not like an evil villain. Like someone who hadn’t slept in a week.

"Ruby," he said. "You have to promise me that if anything goes wrong you’ll turn on this machine. They’re pushing it too far. The printing pods are pushing the...It’s too much - TOO MUCH! Something’s going to blow. I tried… I’m trying to save it. Not the Earth. There’s no hope for the Earth, it’s all going to…" then he made this exploding sound. "But the Universe. Time itself. It could all go, don’t you see? This machine can contain it. Put a Temporal Containment Field around the Earth so time itself doesn’t break down and...and…"

Then all of a sudden these security guys came in. New guys. People I haven’t seen before. And they just took him away. Then they took me to a room and asked me all kinds of questions and I answered them, I guess. I don’t remember much because the whole time I was thinking - What if I was wrong? What if he’s not evil, but Gravitas is?

What if I was wrong and what if he’s right?
------------------
No seriously - what if he's right?
------------------

 

So that's why there's a barrier around Earth...very interesting. :wilson_curious:

And three variations of the cloning experiment!
