[OOC Board] Eternal Galaxy: Phoenix

[S121]

@Cucoo

Hmm... I suppose that could be true, like with the case of the Dark Ages. I think it could go both ways, depending on the outcome of war/disasters. After all, some of our greatest scientific breakthroughs were military projects that were then concerted for civilian use. Ultrasound and sonar is one such example. Of course there is a chance for shtuff to really hit the fan. When that happens, you get the Dark Ages.

Anyways, my only explanation for Ethan's tech is that there was a second group of humans that didn't follow to Venturia. They went to another galaxy for a time, and after a couple eons, they decided to meet with their other humans, only to find that they were long gone. These particular humans had a couple wars, but thankfully they weren't as bad as the War of Eternity. ;p

Despite their wars and conflicts, they still managed to get by, much like today. Because of there being few if any lulls, they were able to flourish.

[Cucoo5]

I like to think that the humans that wound up in Venturia didn't do so voluntarily.

Anyway thats fine for the most part.

I was thinking along the lines that there was more than one group evacuating the Milky Way.

I forgot. What was the Milky Way's fate again? How did it "die"?

[Cucoo5]

Earth was destroyed.
I never defined how
But I'm thinking of this plot twist where it was Nihiliods.

"Damn bugs."

I think that quote is from Starship Troopers, but I'm not sure.

Either way, the humans high tailed it out of there and didn't go with the others, instead opting to head off in another direction. Perhaps it was to increase humanity's chances of survival.

Now, why do you think they would have come to Venturia? Should there be a secret reason why?

Maybe we can somehow tie this in with the plot.

What are your thoughts?

Ok, I just read the slip stream space and the Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine pages and have some understatement about it.

What I understand is that The ships create some sort of wormhole or shortcut to reach the faraway goal, but there are many factors taht affect the time it would take, the precision to reach and the actual mass of the ship.

For example, a small ship with X drive core would take 5 days to reach its goal and would be a day or two of distance of the goal after leaving slip space, but a freight ship with the same drive core will take 10-13 days to reach the goal and be 4 days of distance when getting out of the slip space. Even more if both ships go at the same wake, the time is relative, the small vessel crew could actually be some time older than the ones of the larger ship or viceversa.

The slip space is like Yukari´s gaps, but the in-between time while being inside varies because of the mass being loaded, the speed of the ship (because the slip space is the tunnerl, it doesn´t push the actual ship) and the technology of the drive core.

There are indeed some anomalies that can occur while on slip space like with the UNSC Apocalypso, an anomaly while traveling made the ship go back in time to 2004, another example is the fact that the people working on the drive core could just vanish because of the power of said Core´s mini black holes. Heck it can be used a supernova/giant nuclear bomb.

Now to adjust this information with the portal technology.. that is still on work since the creator of said object had an emergency and untested drive through space/time and even reality

Well Kristia I deleted my last post as I just could not think of anything else. I know it might have been a drastic course of action but I panicked T^T

Anyways now time to think of SOMETHING for Alcyon involving Bardock...

Which is now suddenly really really hard :I


ALSO is the banner for the forums (picture at the very top of the forums) broken for anyone OTHER than me? Because for some odd reason the Forums Banner at the top of the page does not want to work/pop up at all, and it is beginning to get annoying. All other images on the forums work fine for me, just not the picture at the very top of every page on the forums.

[Kristia]

I have no issues with the banner

With Bardock, what do you want to expand about him? just give me something to work with

[SUSTIC]

@Kristia

Huh... weird.

Well currently I do have some things plot related planned for the future when more people join the group. As of now I was just trying to get Bardock outside so he could help with the ship. Once he saw the ship he would have flew in and tried to slow it down with his flight (and enhanced strength.) Though that is already taken care of... I guess he can help trying to find a place for the ship to land, but I don't know how he would.

[Kristia]

Well, the ship just lost its fuel and will only glide its way down, Runa´s arm is stuck in the hull, so you can do something about it

[Cucoo5]

@s1 there were a few sci-fi shows that I'm certain had it. Hell even Star Fox Assault had it at one point.

Anyway on the plot...
There were two points where humans arrived in Venturia.

The first time was a scientific expedition that went astray and somehow reached Venturia and never returned (Cicero, Nero, and Sarah were of the scientists). The second time was also a fluke and was during the evacuation of Earth.

I'm leaning towards a fluke because Cicero did not expect more Humans to arrive, hence why Venturia was not originally cut off from the rest of the Universe after the second Phoenix incident.

@Cucoo

Either one would work for me. In the end, I just need to find a reason why the humans in Phoenix decided to arrive now instead of before the Phoenix Incident and had better tech.

It doesn't help that I feel half asleep right now. XD



@Kristia

Ah, you found it.

As you can see, the Slipspace Drives rely on some kind of interdimensional travel instead of the usual means of moving through space. They phase out of the first four dimensions, then come back at their destination. It's kind of like taking an express lane on a road. You are still travelling from point A to B, but you are no longer in your original lane, and are moving faster.

Of course, there are ways to make better, faster Slipspace Drives. The humans had one that was spotty at best, but the Covenant's drives were faster and more accurate. Even better, the Forerunners' drives were even faster and more accurate than the Covenant's.

That means that there is a way to improve upon the technology.

[Cucoo5]

@ S1

Aye. The fact Venturia was cut off from the rest of the Universe at one point means that no one could find it by accident. And the fact that the humans that did find it didn't get the word out that it existed.

[S121]

@Cucoo

Hmm...

So this new wave of humans would have to have known about the destination before the trip. What if that was the plan? What if they were supposed to remain isolated until one group had flourished, and once that happened, the flourishing group would send out people to find the other group? That would mean that both groups of humans had that goal in mind: progress by any means.

Do you think it fits?

[Cucoo5]

The premise I'm going with is that Venturia suddenly came back on the grid. From the outside, it would be like a Galaxy just appeared out of nowhere.

According to my reference dates, The Galaxy appears about 100,000 years after Earth is destroyed.

Actually...something that I made mention on about the boundary that cut off Venturia from the rest of the universe in my timeline

"Fall of the Boundary"
The Boundary that had been created by Aurora finally dissipates. This allows Venturia to re-enter the natural time stream of the rest of the Universe. It also allows for colonists to enter the Galaxy. At this time, the Venturian Galaxy is in ruins. Even though the Galaxy appears deserted, some of the original races still exist.

...Sometimes I loose track of these details.

Actually... did you read the timeline yet?
Although I'm redefining a few things due to the Void, it's mostly correct still.
