evilbeejHaha. The title? Up there? That's your meta tag, sucka. Or keywords. Whatever. I'm braindead now. This is Brainiac 5 (of the SW6 batch) discussing Inertron and PKE meters with Dr Egon Spengler.
DON'T READ if you respect me at ALL. I don't want to lose that respect.

[00: 35] **: Dr Epona Harper (Epona-H@kpt-c-24-158-141-12.chartertn.net) has joined #sagelab
[00: 35] Dr Epona Harper wanders in, curious.
[00: 35] Dr Epona Harper: Hope you guys doing mind me sitting in. : )
[00: 35] Dr Egon Spengler: *shakes himself off, runs a finger around the inside of one ear* That's better.
[00: 35] Brainiac 5: Goodness, no.
[00: 38] Dr Egon Spengler: Interesting place you have here.
[00: 38] Dr Epona Harper eyes warily several devices that look to have a GO BOOM potential in the triple digits.
[00: 39] Brainiac 5: So -- my apologies, I'm not entirely familiar with the PKE meter. We don't have a burning need for them in our universe... though I'm certain Mysa would disagree. Which parts *would* be served best by construction from Inertron?
[00: 39] Brainiac 5: ...
[00: 39] Brainiac 5 blinks. 'Thank you.'
[00: 41] Dr Egon Spengler reaches into his pocket and withdraws the schematics to the next generation of PKE meter. "Have a look at this," he says. "The main body of the meter should be shielded for certain, to avoid interference with the internal electronics, but unless Inertron has the ability to serve as a liquid-crystal or plasma display, I'm going to have to put in a panel right here of something else..."
[00: 47] Dr Egon Spengler: The internal circuit boards could probably stand to be made of the stuff as well, although I don't know much about its resistance or other electrical properties.
[01: 05] Brainiac 5 shakes his head quickly, glancing up from the diagrams. 'You're only going to want to use it for shielding. Inertron's hardly an all-purpose metal - it's a highly specialised substance that's primarily *used* for shields, mostly in prisons. It's not conductive. It's not even magnetic.'
[01: 07] Dr Egon Spengler: Excellent. I can... *A peculiar look crosses his face.* Wait. You said any form of energy. I assume that includes- here, give that paper back, I have some notes I have to show you.
[01: 09] Brainiac 5 passes the paper back, features starting to take on his patented expression of 'omg u hav n00 IDEAZ 4 ME???' - the one the other Legionnaires know to run in terror from, because it means another lab's going to get blown up.
[01: 12] Dr Egon Spengler never learned that expression. Although the grad students at Columbia sure did. He starts neatly laying out row after row of equations on the back side of the schematics, then starts drawing another diagram* This is the best I can do on such short notice, but it's as close as I can get right now to the relevant information on what we're doing in our containment unit...
[01: 12] Brainiac 5: I should clarify-- any previously documented form of energy, and *potentially* any others.
[01: 13] Dr Egon Spengler: I've got a containment unit full of ghosts, spirits, and ethereal entities back home. I *also* have the frequencies and quantum valences needed to keep the things from escaping, and these equations right here describe the part of the energetic spectrum on which they resonate. Do any of these numbers look familiar to you?
[01: 19] Brainiac 5 unhooks his omnicom from his belt, tapping at the surface sequentially, eyes bright and intently focused on the equations as they're being laid out. 'Oh.. oh grife, I see what you're getting at.' His eyes are wide, and he double-checks the figures in his head, and triple-checks them on his omni, and he stares at Egon for a second. 'You've *got* to spread this knowledge around the multiverse as far as you can, just for the fact that you've scientifically quantified the animating force of.. that you've set up infallible *proofs*.. sprocking *grife*, man, this'll blow the mystics out of the commercial coordinates!'
[01: 22] Dr Epona Harper watches them enter Techie Nirvana with an amused smile.
[01: 23] Dr Egon Spengler: You have no idea how glad Dr. Stantz will be to hear you say that. He's been getting depressed about the lack of philosophical reaction we're getting in our own world. Believe me, I'll be *more* than happy to share what we've got here, but this is only the beginnings. I have a lot more material along these lines back home that I didn't think to bring with me.
[01: 25] Brainiac 5 is practically *squeaking* in glee. 'It's going to make the mystics *cry*!'
[01: 25] Brainiac 5: Oh, good lord--
[01: 28] Dr Egon Spengler allows himself a very small, but very genuine smile. "I've got to show you the raw data from our encounter with Gozer- an ancient Sumerian eschatological deity, not merely a ghost. And on the building that was used to make it possible for a deity whose believers had vanished from the world to manifest. The metallurgy alone will set the average magician to huddling in a corner."
[01: 29] Brainiac 5: This-- that-- if I set up the adult Legion with a scanning assembly based on my elder counterpart's chronomatriculation emulator and add an array utilizing *your* equations as a basis for range, it's entirely possible we can prevent the element of surprise on Mordru's part--! We could-- oh, I can't *begin* to express the myriad applications!
[01: 30] Brainiac 5 takes Egon by the shoulders, clasping them in exuberant camaraderie, and grinning like an *idiot*. 'You have my help in *whatever* capacity you desire it! I can't thank you enough!'
[01: 36] Dr Egon Spengler: ACTION smiles more properly this time. "You're welcome," he says. "I can't claim all the credit myself, though. My colleague Dr. Stantz is just as responsible for this work, although with him being an electrical engineer, he's done more of the application work than the theoretical. There's a dimensinoal portal in our basement. I'll have to bring you through so you can see what we've got in our records, and meet him while you're at it."
[01: 43] Brainiac 5: That sounds *wonderful*. Here, in the meantime-- and *don't* tell Cosmic Boy or Computo, this is *hardly* grounds for a lecture--
[01: 46] Brainiac 5 taps something into the omnicom, watching its screen for a second, then shifts his attention away, back up to Egon. He holds the device out. 'You need one of these. I routinely destroy mine through improper use, so no one'll miss it.'
[01: 46] Brainiac 5: (( http: //209.235.210.197/omni/omni.swf ))
[01: 48] Brainiac 5: (( That's at least more or less what it looks like, if nothing else. ))
[01: 50] Dr Egon Spengler accepts the device, turning it over thoughtfully and nodding. "Excellent," he says in a tone of considerable satisfaction. "It looks like it should be fairly simple to learn to use, if I'm any judge. Thank you."
[01: 54] Brainiac 5: Not a bit of it. I've uploaded backups of the data you've presented tonight to my lab in our headquarters on New Earth, and will be working with Alchemist to create the necessary inertron parts, and seeing how the containment unit might be served by it. Oh - and if at all possible, the material Indigo had mentioned *ought* to be looked into as a potentially more useful substance for the conductive parts of your meters.
[01: 59] Dr Egon Spengler: I'll make a point of it. Our portal's not entirely debugged yet, but I've recently come into a few other options for dimensional travel, so I might be able to get a few leads..."
[02: 00] Brainiac 5: Good, good.
[02: 01] Brainiac 5: We probably ought to go back in, or Indigo might come to fish us out.
[02: 03] Dr Egon Spengler: I'd just as soon avoid that. Let's head in, then.
[02: 03] Brainiac 5 nods, and heads Sanctuary-wards.
