Game Night!

Idc if half of the group are with talon, these guys definitely meet up for dnd nights and you can’t convince me otherwise after Halloween terror.

Of course, the bandrui would meet with someone interested in their book, alone, at home, on a warm October Sunday not far from Hallows Eve.

I was expecting something in the line of Castenada's journey to meet his shaman and indeed, the paved road stopped, the shaded black oak stands faded to Tall grass Prairie ride with fading wildflowers, and sky shimmered an iridescent gray under a vast, high blanket of clouds.

Then the gravelled road twisted down a rolling hill, then deep into a wooded ravine. A cluster of mailboxes marked a crossroads and my downloaded map instructed me to turn onto a road, rutted deep, with long grass barely touched by travels dragging under the chassis of my rented jeep.

Then a simple, powder coated black cattle gate left slightly ajar and messy bundle of sunflowers tied there to mark this where I'd pass.

The next mile was marked by tall, white windmills generating electrical power across a plain of very trim pasture. Then a trio of residential Satellite Dishes, a pumphouse with a large water tank, and a modern cell tower on a hill above. Then power lines leading to a 1970s standard Oklahoma Oilfield Workers redbrick home rectangle.

Keeping the Conscious and Transforming the Flesh

CW For the FIRST paragraph only: Anatomy

||The only thing left of the human body will be the nervous system (though probably cut apart or much smaller than the one we have, only because I'd use wires to make up for loss nerves so it'll provide the same function) and most likely the eyes, because I don't know how the eyes work just yet and I don't know if they can be supplemented with technology. The brain is the KEY function here, it'll be preserved somehow (along with the rest of the biological aspect) in some type of liquid. I'm not sure yet what liquid, but anything to keep it function, not rotting, and in stasis. These are the only human aspects to the machine, practically "uploading" the consciousness to another being. I don’t know how I’m going to test this, because all of this is extremely risky.  ||

How It Gets Its Energy

The machine body will be powered like a water turbine, except with magnets. I’ve hypothesized that we can make a never ending source of kinetic to mechanical energy with just magnets. I’d use two (maybe more, depending on the size) “blades”, making it look like a fan. Negative charge will be on the top of the blade, positive on the bottom. It’ll be connected to a pole which will have the inner workings of something like a water turbine/wind turbine to create the energy into something the machine can use. There will be magnets on the outside of this “fan” design. They will be angled in such a way where it’ll make the blades continuously go, but never stop or slow down. The top will have a positive charge, the bottom will be a negative charge. Basically, just the opposite of the blades. I’m unsure how fast this will make the blades, and I’m unsure if this could cause any problems with the machine's design. That’s for when I test it though.

**Getting It To Move** This is a work in progress.

This requires more research. I do not want to use hydraulics because of potential leaking and sustainability. However, it might just be the best option. Note, I really don’t have much experience with stuff like this, so I’m relying on the internet for my research. The next one is used by many animatronics: Servos. This is good for smaller parts of the body, but it can’t support heavier weights. After some research, Disney machines/animatronics use hydraulics for their life-like and larger animatronics. So I’d follow suit with them, as I want to have natural/life-like movement as much as possible. An idea to have twistable movement will be ball rotation, the only problem with this is the wires and other machinery which can’t twist without unwinding. Memory and the Conscious There will be a “core” memory which cannot be removed from the machine, and supplemental data which will be stored on hard drives. These hard drives will be as large as possible, so if this was made in this day and age, it’ll be 20TB.

The core memory will be things that must be remembered. This will include maintenance of the machine body, a “owners manual” and anything else needed to keep on living. Core memory will most likely include the users own memories, but this will be stored in the brain already. Additional core memories, such as manuals, will appear like “huds” in the machine's vision. All they have to do is think what they need, and the receptors attached to that brain will pick up on it and bring up what they need. Additional memory, basically anything that comes after the removal of the flesh, will be stored on hard drives. These hard drives can be taken out and replaced in case it gets too full. It is suggested that the machine label the hard drives with dates and key information so it can go back for them at a later date. It is also suggested to keep them orderly, as to not lose them or break them accidentally.
