Before Renovations

Micronation

No Caption Provided

Principality of Sealand Sealand is a sea fort in the North Sea, located 10 km off the coast of Suffolk, England. It is best known for its claim to be the world's smallest sovereign nation. In short this sets it up as an ideal location to take for a scrounger such as Fowler, and he did buy the island off its original owner to claim as his own. Given time miracles may occur, and with his resources and special gifts he intends to make that time short for he is about to create a magic trick that will transform a bridge suspended by two pilars of concerete into a superpower.

Information

  • Platform is 550 square meters in size (set as the core for the specialized machinery)
  • The platform has since been completely redone, with railings, floors and underpadding to keep birds from nesting under the platform. (dismantled for further additions)
  • The building has been completely remodeled and expanded, this includes a new roof/helicopter pad with new directing lights.(dismantled for further renovations)
  • The building includes a two bedroom one bathroom, kitchen, living room, Royal Palace, and a one bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living room, employees' suite. (kept for novelty purposes)
  • Fowler Owns the Principality of Sealand
  • He is Lord Baron
He plans to make this micronation into a haven for non-humans

Externally the State of Tritonia resembles a floating hub above the ocean floor, a vast mesh of technological wonders enveloped in the calm sea breeze. It is the home of the Friday family which consists of the autopotent automatons which often come and go. The main resident is Professor Radix (friendly superintelligence) who constantly tries to exceed his previous invention by continuously spending time to invent and create new things to further improve his nation. Outer Tritonia (real-space) possess, among other facilities, first-class hotel accommodations, a casino, a fully-equipped hospital, a school system, and one of the world's largest duty-free shopping mall.

Most of the construction are done by molecular assemblers. Technology which converts matter ((Using whatever raw material is available, complex construction routines, and assembling units)) and reconstruct it into desirables (such as UFogs), the molecular schematics are made by Dr Radix. This technology was used both inside and around Tritonia to generate unprecedented material wealth and access to resources. Radix follows the principle of Allopoiesis (Greek for other-creation).

Tritonia operates on a post-scarcity society in which things such as goods, services and information are free, or practically free. This kind of present came about because of the abundance of resources (because of advanced AGI, new energy and machines), in conjunction with molecular assemblers.

Tritonia possess the viewpoint of Non-Anthropocentric Personhood — the notion that nonhumans, be they animals, robots, or uploaded minds, have the potential for personhood status, and by consequence, are worthy of moral consideration. This extends to citizenships as well.

The place itself holds some very interesting spatial properties thanks to the mind of Dr Radix

  1. Mobius Effect : the effect that one-entering the island has travelled to the back to the same path again
  2. Pocket Dimension : a large space within a small space (larger than pangea continent within the area of a small island)
  3. Klein Bottle: Digging in one surface will bring the digger somewhere else, (with certain exceptions)

The island itself has interesting dimensional properties but unlike the bermuda triangle it does not vanish objects rather it has a big space within, so what may look like a small island actually has more land than 70% of the world. (This prevents unwanted escapes)

Tritonia implements a large scale dimensional shifter (space folding as means of transportation) in case of emergencies and world threatening situations. Because of this Tritonia will always exists somewhere in the countless dimensions. One day they may improve upon Earth and decide to 'fix' it.

Tritonia is an island country (confined to an island). The island countries that share borders with other island countries, the size of the 'island' is both very small (real-space) and extremely large (tesseract). Unlike most puny island countries that often lack many natural resources, including viable agricultural land, and hace smaller populations Tritonia has an abundance on all of the above. Half of the island was kept aloft using advanced technology. The other half was kept in the air using 'special' abilities.

This kind nation have traditionally turned to the ocean as a means to sustain their growth. Tritonia does not need to do such things, they have tech to compensate.

Population: 755,501,020,639 (Humanoids and machines)

Outer Tritonia (Real-Space) has a modification that allows the hub to become a Megaship (a massive vessel) that proved completely reflective to any kind of scanning

Medium Energy Emission Civilization (MEEC):

These civilisations are generally roughly equal to a Kardaschev type 1 civilisation, sometimes using less, and sometimes considerably more than all the energy available on a single planet. The total detectable emission by such a civilisation can be considerable, but if so it is generally quite diffuse.

Common misconceptions about Tritonia

  1. "Its technologically advanced but socially regressive society which has returned to slavery" - Citizens get what they want but they cannot participate in the government since the choice lies between a corrupt democracy or a pure dictatorship.
  2. fascism might come to us in the guise of patriotism - Isolationism is the word here
  3. genetically-engineered neobarbarians on Tritonia - transhuman and posthumans sapients with other similar beings
  4. human race replaced by "Tritonians" from birthing matrixes, imitating individual men and women and then destroying the originals - we do not seek to eradicate, we seek to uplift

Society

Government

“People think they can beat the system. They may be able to beat the probes but they can never beat the ruling system. That system has been developed over such a long time. There is no way an individual can beat the system.”
Tristar
Tristar
"A government big enough to give you everything you want is strong enough to take everything you have."
- Thomas Jefferson

Tritonia is ruled by a Triumvirate of power shared equally between the Friday Family, and interestingly in their system roles can be exchanged. Judicative, Executive and Legislative powers are handled both individually and uniformity. The entirety of Tritonia is their panopticon, all occurrences can be seen and will be controlled. Some would call Tritonia a police state but however the politics are more lax because the Triumvirate review and adapt their methods on a regular basis. Trial and error to create a perfect system.

Political freedoms within Tritonia are moderate, while the government is omnipresent and they will provide everything for its people. Because of this The Triumvirate has the final say as they are the 'Parents' of Tritonia (especially in economy). Broad civil rights are given but business gets a chokehold. In terms of Privacy Tritonia does not intervene with its citizen's lives but they are monitored.

Citizen are very patriotic and enjoy their social equality, but they have an awkward view towards more capitalist countries as somewhat primitive and obsolete. They are ruled with an iron-fist by benevolent powers, a 'triangle' that gives freedom to live as the like as long as they do not challenge the government. Because the powers that be will act upon those mistakes should anyone deviate, simple examples would be dark-guards dragging people off the streets to ebonic vehicles.

Adhocracy

A non-bureaucratic networked organization.

"This form is already common in organizations such as law firms, consulting companies and research universities. Such organizations and institutions must continually readjust to a changing array of projects, each requiring somewhat different combinations of skills and other resources. These organizations depend on many rapidly shifting project teams and much lateral communication among these relatively autonomous, entrepreneurial groups."

Closed Door Policy

"The world is not ready"
- Radix
No Caption Provided

Their micronation situation has given the Tritonia a cohesion and freedom from invasion which has allowed them to develop in isolation.There was a strong cultural desire to avoid invasions and influence from outside. It was not a total refusal against foreign influences, rather a way to “open” the country by selective means.Government policy turned against foreign influence and Democracy was forbidden with many being killed. (Gestapo Style). In the current century Tritonia maintained a policy of isolation from the outside world (with a few exceptions). Tritonia maintained a keen attentiveness to International trade relations, and recognized the advantages and disadvantages for the country’s stability. Simultaneously, isolationism brought upon loads of new insights and changes in the society and enriched Tritonian socio-cultural life.

In 19XX the Triumvirate, in apprehension of further Democratic infiltration of real-space Tritonia, banned foreign travel and prohibited the return of overseas Tritonians. Further, in 19XX, the Triumvirate banned visits by Outsiders. From that time on Democracy was strictly forbidden, and international trade was conducted with only the Allied forces. Tritonia’s seclusion policy as a model example of national protection from foreign infringements, and how its rich soil surrounded by oceans made Tritonia ideally situated to be self-reliant. The Tritonians possessed strength in health, will, skills, customs, and morality, and Tritonia was a rare nation with such an extensive capacity of transportation, agrarian wealth, and materialistic assets.

Closed Door policy was laid out as an extension of national independence and domestic stability. It limited and tightly controlled the access to political, economical, and ideological influences from the outside world, in particular, the West. Cautiously guarding Tritonia from the forces of Democracy, and Globalization, Tritonia had established a unique Tritonian ideology during the 'Sealed' period. The dynamics of the Triumvirate system and reinforcement of the Closed Door policy was a significant foundation of the later historical formation of Tritonia in preparation for the country’s rapid modernization.

Isolationism is a foreign policy which combines a non-interventionist military policy and a political policy of economic nationalism (protectionism). In other words, it asserts both of the following:

  1. Non-interventionism – Political rulers should avoid entangling alliances with other nations and avoid all wars not related to direct territorial self-defense.
  2. Protectionism – There should be legal barriers to control trade and cultural exchange with people in other states.

Isolationism is not to be confused with the non-interventionist philosophy and foreign policy of the libertarian world view, which espouses unrestricted free trade and freedom of travel for individuals to all countries. This "libertarian isolationist" view is best defined as a policy of nonparticipation in foreign political relations, but free trade and affability to all people.

Tritonians are capable of communicating directly with Triumvirate. They can transmit video images to the government from afar, giving the authorities first hand view of the goings-on around them.

Law

The Triumvirate has power to pass Prime Directives (a rule or law that overrides or guides other rules or laws; in particular a rule forbidding interference in the affairs of nations which have not yet gotten approval)

Tritonian Law

  • Source of law: Civil law system (Tritonian socialist theory)
  • Degree of judicial independence: Very limited
  • Judges: More roles and work together with lawyers
  • Lawyers in court: Judge dominate trials

Spacing (put someone out into space without a spacesuit as a method of execution) is a form of death penalty within Tritonia

Art 1(5)

“Due recognition shall be given to traditions and customs in providing a system of law, and noting in this constitution shall be construed to limit or invalidate any recognized tradition or custom.”

Physiology

the Tritonian people enhanced themselves with technology with the capability to pass the coding and instructions for such things down genetically. (Think Viltrumites but with Golden Age Kryptonian powers)

Tritonian bones and flesh are many times denser and more efficient than a normal humans; To make a comparison, they are made of steel where others are made of meat. They is strong enough to lift a car, throw boulders as if they were baseballs, or twist and bend metal with bare hands. Run faster than a speeding bullet, they can also leap over tall buildings in a single bound. They often combines this with their superspeed to create devastating hits (Their blows have impressive power - presumably a combination of strength, speed and hard striking points. They can behead a normal man in a single punch, and can annihilate warmachines a flurry of punches). Their body is durable enough to resist anything short of mortar shells with ease, bullets affect them about as much as a stiff rain, and even a rocket can at most knock them back and dirty their attire. Dropping them from a great height will result in a crater and an unfazed Tritonian. heals extremely fast (though not without scars), and ages slowly. They can hold their breath for hours at a time. Able to see in the dark, x-ray vision, touch and hearing heightened to superhuman levels. All Tritonians area able to to speak to, understand and command technology (machines speak to them in full sentences, as clear as English). Some of them forgo enhancements such as having razors or other blades replacing fingernails. The median height for Tritonian males and females is six foot, two.

Because of their superior physical faculties Tritonians can dodge bullets (spotting subtle signs when the shooter is about to fire, and predicting the trajectory), and perform incredible feats of acrobatics. Tritonians display super-speed - they can do easy things faster than humanly possible (such as changing clothes), and is superhumanly good at catching projectiles in mid-flight. They also very proficient at grabbing large objects and throwing them with great fluidity, power and accuracy.Tritonians also perform uplifting on non sapient species by gengineering to make them more intelligent

Subspecies

  • Mercurials - Those who are given morphological freedom (The ability to alter bodily form at will)
  • Perceptors - Those possessing extrasensory powers
  • Sympaths - Those with the empathic ability to sense others' emotions.
  • Telekineticists - Those with the power of telekinesis
  • Transporters - Those with the power of teleportation by psychic means
  • Augurers - Those with precognitive abilities
  • Menders - Those with the ability to control a person's mind or actions through telepathy

The coexist under the banner of nationalism. Posthumans can be regarded widely as terrifying weapon of mass destruction, but in this case the so called 'terrifying weapon of mass destruction' are full citizens which serve the best interests of the nations. This policy keeps Tritonia different in its approach compared to other countries which apply witch hunts and purges. It is not an arms race, rather a national policy.

In this world healers work at hospitals curing diseases and mending bones. Firemen are invulnerable to heat or have the ability to summon water to douse flames. Couriers are blessed with super speed or teleportation and planes are no longer required when almost everyone can fly, or have access to better tech.

Physically 'fit' Tritonians can lift tall buildings and walk under them, kick locomotives off the tracks, catch speeding bullets in his teeth and eat them, and freeze water with a single glance. They are often seen moving so quickly that there was often an after-image, as if light was trying to keep up with them.

Ideology

Extropianism

“the extent of a system's intelligence, information, order, vitality, and capacity for improvement”. Perpetual Progress, Self-Transformation, Practical Optimism, Intelligent Technology, Open Society, Self-Direction, and Rational Thinking. These are meant to codify general attitudes rather than specific dogmas. Tritonia itself can be seen as an organic computer, combing the minds of countless Tritonians. This database could be summoned for advice and information, with different factions able to offer different points of views and opinions. Their solid state society was designed as an application of contemporary technology, similar to their ' high-tech lasers, satellites, and robots. It also exists as a physical space, there are even cities inside the mainframe.

Religion

Silent prayer
Silent prayer

Most Tritonians adhere to a central religion where they worship a set of Gods, Although they do have plurality of religion and are tolerant to other faith beliefs. They refer themselves as Energists, devout worshippers of the Machine Faith. They would sometimes chant "Ave Machina, Deus Est Machina" and this is a common occurrence within Tritonia. Their belief systems view that it is their obligation to ensure the widest variety of life options, humanity is but a temporary form into the evolution of the Posthuman. Humanity as an evolutionary accident that can be improved up to godhood. Responsibility even which extends to animals in order to improve their cognition, even to their spiritual well being.

Energists subscribe to a trichotomous theory

  • Body, soul (mind/brain), spirit (supra-physical)
  • 'Ascension' replaces spirit with machine spirit

Ideas on the 'spirit'

  • 'spirit' is meaningless, there is only consciousness and self-identity
  • resurrection of the body necessary

Personal Identity

  • subjective identity needed for judgement and accountability

No Self

  • embracing the reality of the constantly changing and illusory nature of self is liberating
  • can and must use self concept while recognizing its emptiness

Energist Denominations

  • Cybergnosticism: The belief that the physical world is impure or inefficient, and that existence in the form of "pure information" is better and should be pursued.

Tritonian life is cyclical. When a Tritonian reaches the end of their life, the quantum workings which makes up their body disperses, only to reform at Birthing MAtrices, where it takes the form of an embryo so that the Tritonian can live their lives over again, ad infinitum.

When needed, Machine Clerics can fire a non-threatening beam from its eyes hand that will reveal if a human is possessed by its own soul. There is also a shrine located on every city in Tritonia.

Symbol - Sword of Aleph

Pomatorhinus (a curved sword, which comes in different sizes; The traditional curved sword extends from one to three feet in length). It is an Energist symbol representing their obligation to defend one another. It comes along with a traditional martial art from, practiced by devout energists. It is centered around the use of the saber, but hand to hand techniques were also taught.

Pomatorhinus
Pomatorhinus
My sword is my companion my warrior and friend,
Not to be offensive but sworn to defend,
The infusion of steel runs through my veins,
Making me immune from sorrow and pain,
My sword is the protector of the needy and poor,
When oppression becomes a disease my sword is the cure,
My sword sings the song of selfless love,
It lives in harmony with law from above,
The flash of my Pomatorhinus awakens the sleeping soul,
Without the sword I can never be whole,
The Pomatorhinus is the giver of life,
Before the soul was barren now it is ripe,
I am the saint and the soldier that walks in peace,
I am the humble dust of your feet,
But don’t think my spirituality makes me weak,
The heavens will roar if my sword were to speak,
Death is my bride, fear is my friend,
My Blade’s path is the map heaven sent,
To follow the path, surrender your whole,
The power of the Pomatorhinus will give light to your machine soul.

Cleric Warriors

"They kick ass for the gods"

They were a strong force in Tritonia, revered not only for their prowess in war but also because they carried immense spiritual guidance, bringing down wrath upon any dare impose alien gods upon them. Clerics are the servants of Aleph, devoted to battling evil and purging Tritonia of foreign monstrosities. They are relentless, always crusading against evil, rooting out a hideout of alien faith, or generally making life safer for more common citizens.

Clerics take great pleasure in the simpler things in life. This simplistic approach to life is tempered by a fierce hatred for the alien and obscene, as well as a devout belief in the righteousness of their cause. As one would expect from monks of the god of progress, lightbringers are insightful companions, and always seem to be the first one to enter battle, ensuring the safety of the companions.

The most popular weapon in the Fighting Cleric arsenal was the beam naginata (twin bladed saber), a vicious glaive-like polearm that they wielded with great proficiency. Because of the heat of the electro-plasma the beam sword can cut through any alloy. The blades carry an electric charge that comes into effect if anyone other than the Clerics attempts to use them, which can also be triggered by the Clerics. When not in use it is stored in a back mounted recharge rack. It has also the ability to emit an energy blast from their tip, which can hurt the enemy from a distance.

The EM field that supports these blades usually covers the entire weapon and so it protects not only the blade but also the handle and the hands that hold it. This is why a beam naginata can block another energy weapon attack even with its non-sharp parts. The field around the handle can also ignite an energy burst that collides with the enemy blade.

Diversity

No Caption Provided

In Tritonia there are almost no traits of discrimination as the population live in unity, before Sealand became the Tritonia as we know today Fowler brought the first generation inhabitants from the Dregs of Grimm City, the Snowmen from the himalayas and several machines found elsewhere. After the accelerated time that passes differently within a prototype realm the Fridays have acquired a generation comprised of a multitude of cultures. Then the Fridays started from scratch by enacting Memetic engineering to create their own vision of society. Inter species marriage is allowed within the boundaries of Tritonia.

Humans, and genetically-enhanced dolphins and apes go starfaring together. Sometimes those genius dolphin foils villains but makes pathetic fool of themselves by falling in love with a human dolphin researcher. When some animals from outside started to roam the town, they are often seen displaying surprising intelligence. It turned out that animals liked studying humans as much as the humans enjoyed studying them. The animals could appear completely normal until angered, at which point it would assume a monstrous, super-strong humanoid form.

Demographics

Ceres has approximately over seven hundred billion sentient populace of various origins in the mountains, forests, oceans and tunnels of their world. There are many different tribes and they have learned to settle disputes by fair duel or by Tritonian legal system.

Culture

Tritonians share a great deal of pride on their combat prowess, contributions to their kin and various communal aspects; especially generosity. Tritonians are, by upbringing, eager to help those in need, particularly to other Tritonians; this also extends to certain immigrants. Part of this kindness stem from the fact that they are all similar in terms of non-humans (some whom share a degree of persecution)

Meritocracy

Social status on Tritonia develops because of both achievements and accomplishments, not because of family or wealth. All people are judged on ability, so there is a constant strive to better oneself, making it in some ways egalitarian.

National Sport

Martial artists started to combine with machines, and began an era known as "cyber fighting".

Tritonian Pankration
Tritonian Pankration

Once there was a striking arts war that was essentially a free for all fight among millions of martial arts machines.

No Caption Provided

Tritonians have a deep respect for warrior aspects found in other cultures, and their favorite sporting activities are contact sports. However amongst a the sea of activities there is nothing more that they like to do compared to combative ones. Similar to many children around the world who play football with their friends in the grass Tritonians love to fight. It is almost hardwired into their systems, as the Fridays also love to fight. In essence they are all military combat robots in citizen guise, they have knowledge imprinted within their being from the moment of creation. This is their platform to exercise that knowledge. When Mixed Martial Arts is done by Tritonians It is very fast, very strong, very versatile, and the dimensions transcend beyond the basic combat arenas.

The first great upsurge of interest in Tritonian Pankration as a sport, as well as a battlefield skill, was under Triumviri Fowler in XXXX, a time known as the Martial period. During this period, every soldier trained in Tritonian Pankration and could use it, as the Triumvirate themselves did. Slowly 'Tripan' moved away from its root in the 'Ground' and new fighting techniques were evolving.

Taught only in Tritonia, and almost unheard of anywhere else, this martial art has no distinct forms, and is geared towards an individuals own strenghts and weaknesses. Their non-human anatomy can accomodate for a large variation of styles that are unthinkable to bipedal species. Tritonian pankration was designed specifically with the goal in mind to abolish weapons of warfare and to render weapons of mass destructions obsolete, creating a 'naked weapon' in process.

Stand Up WAR.

Stylistically the striking also involves some aspects from Kung Fu, Kick Boxing, Karate, Tae Kwon Do, and Muay Thai. Compared to human arts it is significantly stronger and efficient, much faster and agile, and relentless as baseline Tritonians demonstrated that they were immune to gunfire (at least .50 GI at point blank).

It is martial art developed exclusively for use by transhumans, it centers on the enormous power and fantastic speed only a Tritonian could stand. (the stress in the joints would tear a human apart even if he could learn it.) Once learned this is the only martial art a borg can know due to the rigorous training.

From the history of Tritonian Pankration, Fowler loved it so much that he often fought anonymously in city contests, beating the local champions. Duringthat time the nation was at peace. Fowler, to keep the army busy, ordered it to train in Tripan. The interest in the sport was already high but now it took off yet again.

Tripan became the favorite sport and pastime of the people, the army, and the Triumvirate. Citizens from all walks of life flocked to training camps. Evolves, machine, posthuman and solid state all wanted some of the action. Every city staged its prize fights and had its champions. Every bout became a betting contest as well as a contest of local pride.

Other Aspects

Combat is not merely limited on Terran planes as there are even extensive training given in Zero-G and vacuum combat doctrines. Momentum and inertia are the major philosophies behind this martial art. When punching your opponent has become redundant. Techniques derived from Ju Jitsu (because chokes and joint locks are gravity-independent once the opponent is held) or Tai Chi/Ba Gua (not only is it heavily joint-lock and choke oriented, it's also structured around a 360 degree field of attack/defense) will work. Brawling screws around under of Newton's third law, but an elbow breaking kimura or a rear naked choke still works well.

Also geared combating firearms, as students are only conditioned in the basics of surviving a gunfight - stay constantly moving, strike till the opponent is dead, (preferably from as close a distance as possible) count their shots, when they are out don't hesitate strike when they take time to reload or to find another weapon. If they are hit they are told to ignore it until they die or enemies are fallen, never panic, and above all keep the opponent on the defensive. Once a student has learned the basics the only way for him to advance in his art is through combat, so beginners don't stay beginners long, they are either dead or they become better. A master is a truly magnificent sight in a gun battle.

Basic training generally involves a series of "follow the leader" type sessions, where the master starts out in charge, running an ever different and varying obstacle course through the city. As the students learn to keep up they eventually progress to a level where they take the leader position for other students, with the master watching from the sidelines, for technique and inventiveness. Graduation to mastery come when the Student can challenge the master, and successfully defeat him in a chase, whether by making him fall or by simply defeating him. The rules of the chases are simple, no "civilian" interference, no property damage. Among the student led chases, the "leader" position can be challenged to unarmed combat at any time, but the chase has to keep moving, even during the fight. If a combatant falls, is seperated from the chase he loses all rights of challenge that day. A fall is defined as cessation of controlled motion for longer than one round. If the leader of the chase hits a dead end or can't continue the chase he loses leadership rights to any chases for a week.

Sometimes practitioners, upon being attacked, will feign injury to the point of obvious melodrama - falling to the ground, rolling around, wailing like a child, and generally giving the appearance of a fool who is overly sensitive and has no business fighting. But it's all an elaborate ruse to get the opponent to underestimate them, thus causing the opponent to be of guard, and when their opponent is sufficiently lulled into sense of superiority the silliness ceases and the attacks become very fierce often destroying the attacker before he knew what happened.

Always remaining within arms reach of his opponent, the practitioner of this martial art attacks straight on with as many punches and snap kicks as possible until his opponent has been beaten into submission. The art is centered on counter attacking with equal or greater force. This is done by dodging and parrying attacks until an opening presents itself, and then attacking the opponent's weak spots with full force. When someone attacks a pacifistic master of this style the master will usually dodge and parry their attacks until either they have beaten themselves up by running into other things, pass out from exhaustion, or simply give up.

Transportation

Tritonia is proud to be a nation with regards to its technological advances, citizens can own personal flying vehicles such as aerocars. These blur the line between car and eroplane, yet they serve common families in all aspects of life. They are even equipped with devices that pilot the craft (also plot courses), they also accept coordinates and will drive to the destination accordingly. Besides the simple aerocars Jetpacks can be acquired in the cities and even within rural areas. Most movement take place above the ground.In some cases the vehicles can be constructed from Utility Fogs; this way they can replace designs on a daily basis. The *interior* of the car is filled with robots as well as its shell. They can drive themselves when its drivers are drunk to prevent accidents.

Food

hunger has been abolished a long time ago in Tritonia it is prepared and served entirely automatically, a basic human need tended by gentle machinery. No hand made contact with food from the time it entered the building in its raw state until it emerged hot and delicious upon the tables before the guests. This method of meal preparation by mechs strikes Tritonians as convenient; for others, it seems to be an inhuman intrusion into the simplest of human acts - preparing life-giving food for loved ones.

Subhumans, commonly known as Meat-nuggets, is a nonsentient species of homo sapiens genetically engineered by the Tritonians for human nutrition. Because it is so genetically similar to humans, it has a perfect balance of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. The lovable creature laid eggs, gave milk and died of sheer esctasy when looked at with hunger. The meat-nuggets loved to be eaten and tasted like any food desired. Anything that delighted people delighted a meat-nugget. Fry a meat-nugget and it came out chicken. Broil it and it came out steak. Meat-nugget eyes made terrific suspender buttons. The hide of the Meat-nugget if cut thin made fine leather and if cut thick made the best lumber. Meat-nugget whiskers made splendid toothpicks. The Meat-nugget satisfied all the world's wants. You could never run out of Muggets (plural of Meat-Nugget) because they multiplied at such an incredible rate. The Meat-nugget believed that the only way to happiness was to bring happiness to others.

Munch Trees, any plant that has been modded to bear what is almost indistinguishable from animal meats, eggs and other products (everything the human diet requires). These plants are in widespread use as they create the meat and other animal products valued by so many cultures and races without the highly inefficient processes of raising livestock. The variations of Munch Trees are nearly endless, from watermelon-like fruits filled with mammal-like milk, to mushrooms that taste like marshmallows, to trees and bushes which bear fruit and berries which taste of crocodile, cheese and meat, pretty much every food imaginable has been made into a Munch Tree at some point. A diet consisting solely of 'Munch Fruits' will invariably leave one in excellent health. Munch Fruits are often designed to be very easy to split open and can be filled with flesh taking on just about any texture, from meats and cheeses, to every imaginable fruit and vegetable to even confectionary delights like moist cakes and brownies.

Nu-Grain, for strains of oats, barley, rye, wheat, rice and corn modded to possess greater levels and varieties of vitamins, amino acids and other nutrients. It is nutritionally possible to survive off just bread, rice or oatmeal. For that reason, they are also valued by Vegans.

Law Enforcement

Protected 24/7 by giant robots, and so far things are going well. They are equipped with a vast arrray of defenses to safeguard all Tritonians against both domestic and foreign threats. The colossal guards will alternate patrols during day and night looking for suspicious activity in cities, and monitor citizen health. Any situation that develops will dealt with by the robots directly, minor problems will be relayed to assisting AR drones (armed with weaponry that causes disruption to some structure or function of its target, such as an object's interatomic bonds, or a person's neural function). The colossal robots are known to be friendly and appealing to visitors as well.

The secondary weapon of the drones is the invisible capture beam that can hold objects in the air. When used against giant opponents, this beam forms a sort of energy net around them, preventing them from moving. While the giant robots have beams of energy from their torso that will demolecularize a human-sized target and teleport them into its body where they will then be put back together. Those held within the stasis core "freeze". They have no need for food, air, or water. Nearly all body functions are suspended. They can however, see, hear, smell and feel what is happening around them. The stasis shell is permanent until physically broken or by reversing the gun's polarity and politely asking the robot.

The giant robots also served as a drone factory that could produce AR drones in moments.

Even citizens can spawn weapons from their environment. These are made from the Utility Foglets populating their atmosphere; however. So far pistols (that fire a super-heated laser, capable of turning an entire body into ash [Hom Sap]) and swords have been exhibited.

Centralized Tech

Chrononauts (time-travellers) with inbuilt chronoscope units (a device for viewing events in the past or future). They utilize distortions of space-time that is conceived as causing or enabling a person to remain stationary in time or to travel backwards or forwards in time and to make journeys that would otherwise be contrary to the known laws of nature, they act with careful attention to the realities of past history and a detailed projection of future history

Armed Forces: Tritova

Rank in the Tritonian military is determined not by length of service, but by excellence in combat, as well as the quality and merit of actions during battle. All military operations and assignments are based on results, not selfish ambition.

"So if a city folk arms himself with a cowl and a few martial arts lessons he can suddenly be an effective vigilante? If a human decides to forego isolation in the mountains with a geriatric they instantly become a martial arts legend? If a street hoodlum takes up small arms he can suddenly call himself hero? Now try to put your mind over here, Imagine super-men given adequate training and state of the art gadgets mobilized into an army"
- Fowler

As the Fridays create the population of Tritonia, they also managed to create a special military force through a rigorous program of accelerated natural selection and eugenics to gather the best raw materials to forge an army. In terms of skill and overall abilities they are considered to the the apotheosis of Tritonian population and all citizens of the Tritonian nation have a mandatory military service in which they are honed for a generation (25 years). However these soldiers are usually sent into missions within teams of five members. Their role is the Shield of Tritonia and its allies, home and abroad (territory and interest).

They have over 100,000 active personnel ready to project power upon foreign soil in offensive operation should such action be needed. Tritonia does not have a large standing military, but knows that every citizen are available for combat.

Standard Equipment

Through the use of such "force-multiplying" technology, Tritonian military would be able to deploy small brigade combat teams to carry out challenging missions within a targeted population.

Armor

The headgear has biometric facial recognition to identify hostiles, while foes are illuminated on the display. It also comes with virtual image display, video camera and voice recognition microphone. Other features include built in gas mask, stereoscopic night vision cameras - with images and incoming tactical data projected inside visor, satellite communications, voice activated commands for various suit systems. on-board respirator protects fron noxious fumes, reinforced visor extra wide for peripheral vision, and automatic voice translater allows user to speak in real time in any language.

The backpack has personal command/control system, friend-or-foe identification system and a personal global-positioning sustem. It also comes with a 'digital buddy' which alerts the soldier to crucial events in the environment.

The advanced nanomaterial armor protects against blasts, burns and rifle rounds. The entire ensemble is embedded with behavioral an psychological sensors that continuously monoitor the soldier's health. The exoskeleton not only provides protection, it enhances the strength of the soldier as well. Other features include personal cooling and heating system, protection from laser and missile attacks, also the detection of mines and chemical weapons. It will also include nano-muscle fibres to enhance the soldier's own strength. Outer fabric layer changes color to match immediate surroundings, giving constantly changing 'chameleon' camouflage.

The Mermen (bond) can channel gathered information into another unit so that they will be able to function better.

Weapons

The Mirror for every citizen
The Mirror for every citizen

The soldiers are armed with electronic ("metal storm") rifles (Archerfish) as personal weapons. They have sights with optical magnification and light amplification. Most of them are linked by Direct Neural Interface to the user's optic system. The automatic rifles are equipped with self-aiming software; these weapons are capable of adjusting their orientation minutely in order to attain their target, and generally will not fire unless a hit is very likely. Rate of fire can usually be adjusted between single, short-burst (usually 3), and continuous. Munitions used in rifles includes armour-piercing shells, self-steering and partially self-propelled projectiles, and high explosive shells. Unlocked by voice command or electronic trigger the rifle would shoot up to a kilometer. It could be scaled from 'stun' to lethal. It also has a mini missile system (The missiles do heat and concussive damage upon impact), laser guided system and assessment system. The carbine weapon is located on their hips, and can be fired from there like a sentry-gun.

As a sidearm there are five barelled lightweight pistol mounted on the Mermen's left shoulder (Spinner) that fires four 15mm calibre guided munitions able to seek out targets, plus conventional 4.6mm bullets for CQC, with explosive speciality ammo or guided micro-shells. It’s also extremely accurate because of features on the Mermen’s DNI, many are equipped with a cyber-link and laser range finder to let the user know when it is correctly aimed, as well as providing information like range etc.

There is a combination of weapon and AI, like a smart gun and an AI that watches all around its owner. The combination gives the owner the ability to shift between types of ammo, see through the aimpoint camera etc. Besides being a soldier's closest companion, 'MoMo' (MotivationMorale) helps them to more comfortably assimilate into their environment using his wealth of information. The AI had an extensive personality program, It was essentially a soldier's morale section and friend. MoMo could target and decide to fire without any intervention.

As for the melee aspect of combat the soldiers are armed with plasma cutters (Xiphias). The saber's handle would make the air molecules vibrate in plasma condition, so it can melt and cut most armors and objects. Magnetic fields projected forward would constrict this stream of plasma into a thin cylinder, and the intersection or overlap point of these fields would terminate the length of the 'blade.' The blade activates on impact only – so that energy is not being wasted.

Also wrist gauntlets which amplify the kinetic force of the wearer's punch. Natal conditioning and further tests have familiarized them with this aspect of combat.

Mechani

No Caption Provided

Anything wired is a comrade, that includes techno titans as well. They are full fledged citizens that will put their bodies on the line to defend Truth and Justice in the Tritonian way. They are unique because they are made from parts that want to exist as 'Mechani' as they lay in pieces, waiting to be built. The building components can not only talk, but will cajole others into bringing the mech into existence. All of the components knew where to go, would instruct on what to do, and where it goes in the larger scheme of things.

These mechanis fire, in rapid succession, tank-strength blasts that form a 'defensive' wall of projectiles. They make use of several giant-sized versions of normal guns, including a Gatling gun (which can fire several rounds per second and every single shot is equal to a missile, meaning a few seconds of getting hit would tear most targets apart) and assault rifles. Their standard gun has three settings: a machine gun-like Full-Automatic Mode, a Single-Fire Mode which fires a single very powerful shot, and a Sniping Mode for long-range shooting. All of them have a missile pods mounted on both their shoulders, When striking, these missiles can either explode on impact or stab into a victim, as if darts, and then explode. .

Mechs can transform into an airplane-like flight mode for increased flight speed.

Conditioning

No Caption Provided

Ever baseline Tritonian infantry is superior to a peak human specimen. Because by standard every Tritonian male and female are augmented at birth and inoculated at an early age to provide genetic supremacy. However when it comes to military service the men and women of Tritonia are put into an even more rigorous training procedure that would be described under international conventions as 'unethical', they are trained using live warfare exercises which involves the usage of warmachines from relevant times.

Special Forces

Finfolk
Finfolk

Assasins made from his inspiration during the time with League of Assasins and visits to Iberia. These forces are different that their augmentation deviate from the norm thus creating super fast and super stealthy beings that are perfect for "get in and get out" missions where they lay the groundwork for the basic infantry. But when the time is needed they too can be set to erase settlements and empty cities.

Finfolk are by default implanted with a cloaking device that manipulates the molecular structure of matter in a way that it is transferred to a parallel space. Matter cloaked with an interphase generator is not only invisible to conventional natural and artificial sensors, it is also able to penetrate normal matter. The implant allows the host to exist between teleportation doors without the protection of a spatial system. Finfolk can emit a beam that will create a holographic illusion to confuse his enemies.

They are armed with a specialized blade with smart matter cutting surfaces and various sensor capabilities. Such as Microtomographic analysis (Imaging technique using a series of microscopic narrow-beam X-rays to derive information on a molecular scale). The premise is a device which will never dull and ready to sever, but will not cut unless it is held in a Tritonian hand, nor will it cut an non-hostile (decided by the Triumvirate). It could suck in energy attacks, absorbing them, allowing Finfolk to return in sword strike. The blade is made from flexible alloy that can act like rubber yet become as hard as adamantium. The tips of the blade can also be attached with explosives, delivering extra damage with each blow.

Each Finfolk has a singular buzz-saw built into their abdominal area. The Tritanium alloy is of considerable durability (21.4 times as hard as diamond) effectiveness as it was strong enough and sharp enough to cause severe epidermal damage and cause super humans to spurt blood. As anti-armor measures. Advanced ballistic armors, are not effective at stymieing most types of cutting weapons. A powered buzzsaw allows the user to cut through an enemy’s armor that would otherwise stop bullet and knives. The saw would be aimed at weak spots in the armor, such as joints, to allow penetration as quickly as pomak[sssible.

Weapons of Mass Destruction

Merrow
Merrow

These Warmech are the fruition of the ideas discussed with Klovis, they are what Fowler will drop upon a country. Because ICBM's and MIRV's are too humane fowler decides to construct living engines of war with a lust for destruction. To put it in a scenario if one of the Merrows are dropped in Japan by America during WWII then Hiroshima and Nagasaki will look like a firecracker in comparison.

They have no personal thought processes or emotions, relentless, resistant to most firepower, high level technology and Instant upgrading/adaptation. These Warmechs follow the principle of Autopoiesis (Greek for self-creation), If their arms or legs get blown off, they can utilize manufacturing modules in other parts of our body to regenerate them (based on molecular assembling tech) .

This allowed a merrow unit to customise themselves as needed, filling a specific function within the unit. Their body would produce the parts and modifications needed. Newly awakened mech could use this function as a miniature nano-factory, capable of producing just about anything. The transformation was achieved via nanobots which effectively hacked the hosts body to replicate biological superhuman abilities. Most units could fly but it could also allow shape-shifting, weather control, super speed and the creation of sentient beings from inorganic materials.

It is remarkable that such a science exists that can create virtually any power desired.

Offensive/Defensive measures

Merrows posses bombs secured in what would be refered to as its belly. These bombs are pushed out of its rear end and explode in an area attack of fire and concussive damage when hitting the ground. When used this weapon will separate from the robot and adhere to a nearby enemy like glue.

Merrows are equipped with a mirror shield (spherical barrier) that will absorb energy-based projectiles, copy it, and then send it back. From the tips of Merrow’s fingers, the auton can fire off a series of highly explosive 3,000 degree heat rays in rapid succession. By design Merrows has special metallic alloys on its wrists that can capture and deflect laser attacks.

As a defensive measure, Merrows is able to raise its internal body temperature to several thousand degrees. Powerful enough to set afire anything nearby, or to cast off an opponent how might be brave enough to be holding it.

Locations

Dimensional Habitat
Dimensional Habitat

The central capital of Tritonia made possible by dimensional tech to manipulate spatial boundaries to overlap the internal space of the chambers with 'blank' dimensions, which mirror the conditions of earth during the era of the Pangean supercontinent where all the lands are one. Essentially giving Tritonia more land that every individual land continent on earth. The technology here is solely founded and made by Doctor Radix or the rad scientist, he has done experiments on adjacent mirror dimensions on the applications of his technology and powers the state with the energy of a Type 1 civilization on the Kardashev scale which utilizes not the energy derived from dead plants but from a whole planet. Planet Engineering (large-scale modification of an entire planet.) is within their grasp

Radix envisioned a world where, through the use of technology, he could eliminate the biological limitations of human beings. Like, the aging process of cells would be stopped, offering immortality to those who want it. Body parts could be augmented in order to provide better performance; brain cells could be enhanced to have more storage space for memories. Technology would therefore be used to radically alter the human body for more desirable characteristics.

In this location they are monitored by autonomously recharging surveillance drones (with onboard guns producing very narrow beam of energy to respond) so that they don't venture off, an entire system of a hundred or more drones are controlled by the government. Fowler also help them regain their previous lifestyles by improving the island by increasing space and putting more land.

Welcome to New Lemuria
Welcome to New Lemuria

New Lemuria is the heart of Tritonia, the central hub where many beings come and go as they please. Essentially it provides almost everything a living being considers a 'want' and a 'neccesity' because of its technological marvels. In this city organics and techno beings coexist in harmony as they live side by side without any form of segregation. The city is a hyperstructure that expands high up to the lower crust of the atmosphere, It mocks at the futile idea of the Tower of Babel done by puny human ancestors. The tower of New Lemuria itself is an Arcology (self-contained cities where a huge population is all contained in one building.)

Center of Mu
Center of Mu

This is the central political area for the Tritonian people, and it is where the Triumviate make their important announcements and decisions. War is declared here, and most of the important social engineering also takes place here. Foreign ambassadors are welcomed to stay during their visits. The entire compound is vast guarded with the best of Tritonian security, giant robots can be seen inside and out of the building as with certain Finfolk units. The building is free for all.

New Meropis
New Meropis

The center for business and industry within Tritonia , where the future is made for today's consumption. The tower itself is an Arcology akin to that of New Lemuria and it is Prof Radix's personal quarters for research. As it is a building of importance the facility is heavily guarded with the best technologies that come of the Rad Scientist's mind. But even with it strict anyone can make an appointment. The building was a thousand feet in height rising starkly from a square base two miles on a side. Like the rest of the buildings elevators have become redundant, so they use dropshafts (a liftshaft with no lift-cages, using controlled gravity to move people up and down at high speed) instead.

Nature

Endless Green
Endless Green

Because the dimensional location is set before the splitting of the continents Tritonia possess a massive landscape that is abound with lush green nature, an image of what the world used to be before the advent of reckless technology caused by Man. Multiple modifications have been made to improve upon the beauty of nature, so Radix also applied remedial ecology (right tools and know-how to regenerate damage done to the world). Such as the usage of genetically engineered microorganisms to remove toxic or unwanted chemicals from the environment, and break down hazardous (man-made) substances into less toxic or nontoxic substances in soil, groundwater, sludge and sediment.

The Fridays even decided to set aside other dimensions for food production. All the land surface of Pangea 59,870,000 square miles in extent, each given with a single agricultural society. Daily, dimensional gateways in thousands brought the produce of twelve agricultural worlds to the dinner tables of Tritonia.It uses backup upon the other worlds for food and, indeed, for other of life, made Tritonia strategic in terms of resources. They are not defenseless as farm implements are able to combine and perform as a weapon.

Abyssian fields

No Caption Provided

A terrene location where many couples often go to, It has certain wonders on maternal functions that It can bless barren couples with an offspring. The place for those who believe in true love and everlasting happiness. Several beings have chosen to make their marital bonds on this location, and when the moon is up a soothing aura washes over the feelings of guilt and regret. This place has soothing qualities that are out of this world, it can disable Fowler's battle lust and Pegrine's hatred for children. Even the wildest of wild beasts become docile animals, and 'peace' is the only thing that exists with these grassy plains. Negative thoughts vanish to naught, the effects seem to affect sentient beings regardless of background as several machines can also enjoy their time in the park.

Flora & Fauna

  • Quomobron: Big stern quadripedal lizards that expels atomic fire from its mouth as means of hunting, they are 2-brained 4-kilometer-wide creatures that live in the clouds of Tritonia. These creatures possess human level dexterity with its four limbs. It possesses human intelligence and understanding.

The super powered Tritonians venture through the resulting areas of creatures, looking for desirable genetic traits that can be harvested. This is a way of how Tritonians can improve their already augmented abilities.

Diplomatic relations

They are vast societies living in extradimensional planes, and only sending people down to 'earth' as part of their education. To spread the word, and to bring data from other lands, there are the ambassadors called "Selkies" with aims to seek to make intricate politics between different factions on Earth, and eventually in the galaxy.

They seem friendly here.

Do not let manners blind your senses, appreciate them as a soldier en route observes the blooming lily. Be completely in love with the beauty and be completely ready with the sword.

Unsure of how to proceed after the quick mental conversation with Miyamoto he gave a short bow at the waist to the guards that met him, the uniformed appearance of soldiers always resonated with honor in his mind. He left only his left hand grasping his sword's scabbard, a few inches below where it met with the guard of the sword. It was not a threatening gesture because he could not immediately draw the sword but he could still use it as a blunt weapon to block and evade, something that he knew was just as dangerous as the edge of the sword itself from experience.

"Thankyou, this place seems beautiful already."

He went to the refreshment meant for him, quite grateful after the long journey wherein he learned to fish with only wood and string. The process had been very tedious but rewarding at the same time. Though he found himself in dire need of the one thing he couldn't get while he had been traveling, tea, while he found himself in favor of black tea the green variation had grown on him quite a bit since things had changed. Antonnius took a moment to refresh himself, though briefly as he didn't know the process of things here and he assumed there must be one.

"Am I to wait here? Or is this my escort into the city? I'm afraid I'm not sure exactly what happens from here."

He almost found himself adding that it was his first time in Tritonia but that seemed a trivial and silly thing to say, it was obviously his first time in Tritonia.

@Antonnius:

As the lad keeps himself sated by the confectionaries in the table an older man walks through a spatial aperture, he seems around his sixties but feels fresher than his human counter parts. "Allow me to introduce myself, I am professor Mark Hamilton and I made this city. Today It will be my pleasure to guide you through" the old man extended his hand as a friendly gesture, after all the food is just common host hospitality. "I will show you around, so if you have questions before we go fire away son."

Immediately when the spatial aperture opened Antonnius dispensed with what he was doing and rose. After the introduction and the offer for a personal guide was given he gave a proper bow from the waist and kept only his left hand on the scabbard to balance it. Antonnius took the man's hand before he rose, feeling a little silly that he always had to combine the greetings of the east and west into one but it had become habit. He felt no need for the sword at this point and vanquished his usual tendency to keep the handle gripped, it would be perceived as rude in the presence of someone that had taken time out of their day to meet a simple boy.

"You must be a very busy man mister Hamilton, it is an honor to meet the creator of the city... many things have been said about it. Many good things, though I'm not sure why you've taken an interest in guiding me. Is this the reception that everyone receives?"

He spoke in a casual yet polite manner as if he were older than he looked and couldn't quite shrug off more than an ounce of formality in the way that he lived. Antonnius made a note of how old the man was before drawing his hand back, he seemed to be about what was imagined though the eyes seemed to be the key that completed the puzzle. They were powerful. Having met smart people before he knew that they looked a little different from every one else, some of them looked down on you and others wanted you to learn with them but this man looked as if he wanted to learn everything that he could. A truly intelligent man.

Radix was flattered that the young man bowed, that there was still a notion of manners and etiquette in these rowdy times. "You can say I am a self made man, both figuratively and literally"he snaps his fingers as a hover vehicle appeared before them and implored the lad to hop on board "you can say that there are people like me who have taken interest in you, now would you care to join me in this airborne vessel?"

Antonnius didn't question if the vehicle appeared by way of magic or technology, as these could very well be the same thing in a place like this. He took a moment to look over the hover vehicle and appreciate the way that it reflected what so many had imagined the future to be like. It was only after he entered the vehicle that he turned his attention back to Radix and wondered what he meant by saying that people had taken an interest in him. It was escaping dark cults and enemies that had prompted this journey, he needed a place to finally regroup himself and be on the offensive. Start cultivating new power and resolve.

"People here are already interested in me?" He said with a quiet tone, half curious and half disappointed.

Though that mood quickly left him as it would be quite rude to indulge in low emotions with his host present, it was still a very high honor to be treated like this and he had no real idea why exactly they were interested in him yet. To assume was not the way of the strategist, so waiting until the time came was the only thing he could do. For the present he was very interested in the technology around him, it was straight out of a book it seemed and everyone was very welcoming so far.

@Antonnius:

"I am interested for Science! Somebody else is interested in the spirit of your sword and also someone else is interested in your battle prowess. You can say it is already agreed upon" With that said the rad scientist brought the lad to the highest point in outer Tritonia so that he can see mostly everywhere, there are various spires atop of multiple skyscrapers as they ascend to the highest reach. Over the horizon lies the vast ocean, and on the other side lies the United Kingdom. They are at a place that used to be a micronation, an insignificant portion of land which will eventually be a very important place in times of doom.

Science, Spirit and Ability.... Body, Mind and Soul?

"Hopefully I can help you then mister Hamilton, I'll do what I can."

He wondered just what kind of people that he had fallen in with, they represented the trinity aspect of life quite perfectly if that is truly what they were concerned with. Though his attention was directly drawn as he clutched the side of his seat, rising up so suddenly even in a comfortable fashion was enough to alert him and then strike him with awe at what he saw. From this angle everything became ten times as beautiful. His grip immediately loosened on his seat and he looked out over the horizon, then picked out bits and pieces of the city that appealed to him.

He pressed his hands together and looked for the correct words, while he didn't want to sound like a fugitive he also didn't want to sound like someone who was running away from the world. That wasn't what he was doing, he was going out into the world on a pilgrimage of sorts so that he could grow.

"You could say I'm here because the world isn't a very friendly place for people like me. I've come to find a place where I can hone my skills and become a proper swordsman, a journey to meditate and find my soul you might say. A change of scenery was sorely in order and my attention was eventually drawn to the stories of your nation. I'm not a man that believes in coincidence you see."

"We always accept kindred spirits here in Tritonia, why last week we had intelligent monkeys moved in from Iberia and a new batch of Tritonians have just recently been made, here is a place where everybody can belong together in peace" Hamilton inputs a series of commands to the interactive dashboard on the hover vehicle as he conversed to set the entry point on the other side of inner-tritonia "I will show you a place where you can hone your skill to no end, where you can meditate your soul until your concentration aches."

"A new batch has just been made?"

He proclaimed rather than asked, this was a wide world that was too good to be true. Like stepping through the looking glass he had become Antonnius in wonderland it seemed. As they jumped through the dimensional barrier he was met with even more beauty, it was like nature and technology had finally come to terms in harmony. The creation of man seemed to find a friend in nature at large while man was left dazzled and clueless as to how he might also merge with the big picture. The citizens below, the giant mechanical guards, everything sparkled and looked like it was brand new.

The doctor spoke of things that sounded wonderful and he felt very inclined to believe him, if he was capable of all this with only two others as his partners then he was a great man indeed. Those with the gift of intellect that used it so well should be respected, obviously he was giving homes in this grand place to many that needed them and looked to avoid the dangers of the outside world. It was here that he would be able to find real time to become what he needed to be, the path had just begun.

Everyone are simply cogs in a working, doing their role within this infinite clockwork. The mechanic titans waved at the new visitor and the citizens welcome a potentially new member. Even buildings illuminate as they greet him. Nothing is new, but they constantly renew themselves.

@Rumble Man: Approaching the island nation via steamboat is the metallic anatomy of an android. Though it completely consists of metals and machinery, it is rather unique in its material make-up ... It is ... organic ... The boat arrives at the dock and the droid steps off. It is hounded by the dock's security, something about a DNA examination. Not wanting to cause unrest, the droid obliges and waits to be analyzed.

@D3STRUC710N:

When the visitor enters Tritonian jurisdiction three drones immediately enclosed upon its coordinates, inspecting the sea vessel throughly as it begins to scan as usual. It is a standard operating procedure when dealing with visitors, there has been too many cases where people masquerade as NGO's to steal technology. Most of those people ended up at the bottom of the ocean floor, feeding the sea dwellers with their corpses. This being is unique as it showed both components of organic and inorganic, several Tritonians on the other side of the relay screen are impressed at its design.

The drones leaves it be and under the vessel a pathway of light attracts the boat towards the port.

@Rumble Man: With the inspection completed, a light shines from underneath the steamboat, guiding it towards a port. With heavy steps the droid treads to the front of the boat and begins to perform its own analyzation of the approaching environment. The intention, however, is not to compromise the nation of any of its valuable technologies and resources but rather to scan for any possible dangers. A traumatizing event in the droid's past had taught it the valuable lesson that one may never be too careful. It was on high alert. Odd as that sounds, the droid was designed to think rather than calculate and even feel emotions, but only slightly, because the droid is incomplete. In a matter of minutes, the scan results come back as 73% convivial. A good enough showing for the droid to continue forward casually. As the boat steams onward it waits to be received at the port, uncertain of the next step of the procedure of entry to the island nation.

@D3STRUC710N:

Upon entry eight soldiers welcome the visitor as a group of Tritonians present a banquet of nourishment and various delicacies to whet his appetite. There was even a munch fruit and a cooked subhuman on the table, so far there is but a man who awaits its arrival. A golden boy of tritonia and a man who is responsible for training its military, Qarl Jagan who exits his war vehicle as it was parked stationary in mid air. "Welcome to Tritonia"

@Rumble Man: The welcome ceremony is a relief, the droid never was too comfortable under scrutiny. Blame it on the flaws of its incomplete design. Though it is only vaguely able to perceive emotions, more often than not the feelings would throw the droid off balance or off focus. It follows eight soldiers into a mass of Tritonians hosting a banquet comprised of various appetizers including fruit and, oddly, a cooked flesh being. The droid's incomplete design will prevent it from reveling in the festivities as most foods may clog or damage its internal hardware. There is only one currently known means of sustenance that the droid has which remains unknown. Exiting a hovering vehicle is a man obviously of high stature. "Welcome to Tritonia," he says. The droid's face is expressionless but it is pleased with the welcome, "I humbly thank you." Its voice is coarse and a bit staticy, the vocal production box located within its throat was never completed.

As Qarl observed the fellow auton he posed a standard question "Before we move on, the same question applies. Why did you come here?"it does not matter who they are. There is no discrimination based on design in Tritonia, whether they are a sentient toaster or a hyperturing. Everyone is treated the same as the system here is not 'by the people' focused as done as those democratic systems where their own laws are neglected by the higher ups, rather a 'for the people' system where welfare is guaranteed. The eight soldiers around the droid liked the unique design, the compared its form to the legendary Finfolk of the special forces division.

"Pure mechanical life."

His mind went back to someone he had recently met that had become very dear to him. Antonnius wished that she could be here to see these things with him now, to see all the different things that he was experiencing. He knew that she would love the sight and the sound of what this place was claiming to be. It was a place that would accept her as well as him. A quiet sigh escaped him as he wished he could have dragged Cameron along with him sooner thought it couldn't be helped, she had promised to come in her own due time. Besides it was best that he went ahead and made sure it was a place she wanted to be, the poor girl had spent most of her life being kicked from one place to the other so he couldn't blame her for wanting to wait until she knew it was going to be a warm welcome.

Even as this though still stuck with him he found himself waving at the mechanical giants, almost having to catch himself from leaning too far over the edge of the car as he tried to catch everything without blinking. The buildings like up like sea anemone, it was exactly that feeling... was everything in this place alive? That would be odd and probably hard to get used to but he was already in love with someone that wasn't human, living among machines and mixtures of lifeforms should be only second nature. The poet had no intention of judging but unlocking the powers of the heart, letting people become connected through his words.

And his sword was a uniting light now.

He had come here to learn, to become something greater. It was the next step as he saw it, to head into the secret places of the world and seek the advice not of the heavens or the underworld but that inner power. The heart was the strong one, the one that could distort even memory and reality as a person saw it. The coils were thick and tight, able to rope down the mind and destroy logic with a mere whim. Yet, it was full of light and wonder if you traveled deep enough. Like this city, he saw it unfolding as a symbol of awesome might and life but it was full of wonder and awe. Surely it would bring a new sparkle to this world, that must be its' purpose... to start change. The good kind.

"Indeed... I think many people gravitate to you for that. Because they are dreamers and want to make the things of the sleeping hour come true. You give them a grand jumping point. Though you expressed an interest in science concerning myself, I can't help but wonder what I have to offer you."

@Antonnius:

"To be honest we are building a new temporal program as well seeing as how well we did with the spatial program. The Alpha Observer wishes to see the progression of technology in this planet from the dawn of the human mind, he wishes to document the history of otherkind as well with the principle of non-interference. He would most likely masquerade as a God while other chrononauts place temporal anchors to set up for warp beacons within the seams of space-time."

Several Tritonian children who happen to be nearby are allowed time away from their integrated studies to view and examine this foreign life-form, swarms of tiny feet march as they ogle at the new visitor from lower altitudes. This is probably the time that they are allowed to see a living human being that is not grown in a tube, some of the kids hide behind others as they do not know what it does while other children moved forward in budding curiosity. They mimicked the gesture of the giant machines and followed to wave in unison. The sentients also greet the visitor, cyber life and even the architecture as corals would welcome new fish. The apemen and the snowmen jumped at joy after eating their munch fruits.

The vehicle is now parked atop of New Lemuria, the capitol of Tritonia.

"We are also a warrior culture, and dear comrade you seem to be well versed in the customs of the fighter. That sword is not one that is made by amateurs, I assumed that either you made it by your own hands or that you took it from a slain opponent. We learn from others, and we grow from others.

The plan that Radix went on about sounded fascinating though it was all beyond him. On these days he found himself wondering why he chose English as his study, poetry and philosophy had an allure of its' own but these worlds of knowledge and pure magic had a much more vibrant pull. Though he knew that it would have never worked, having been a failure at anything scientific he found writing and literature as a last resort that he clung to and dedicated himself to. The life raft that saved him from falling into a talent less world where you would be swept along from one job to another, even with everything that had happened Antonnius knew better than to wish for what wasn't.

Instead look to the future so that you may create, the past is full of shadows that you will never see the true colors of.

As the children came to see he found himself fully engaged. The pure in heart had a way of gravitating towards one another, he smiled brightly and returned the wave in a much more animated fashion. Children were the people he could identify with the easiest out of everyone, some might call him immature for that skill but he saw it as something that tied him to the future... tied him to life and the brightness of the heart. For in a child there is perfect faith, happiness and potential. It had been a small girl, no older than eight that saved his life when he found with the grandmaster assassin of the sword. From her smile he had found resolve and from her cries he had found the resolve to not only fight back but to strike down the evil, to kill the monster inside of a man.

When they parked he immediately jumped out, bounding over the side instead of using the doors.

"If this is a warrior culture then it seems I came to the right place, true warriors are hard to find... though you're only half right about this sword sir. It was made a very long time ago, perhaps it was made before it became what I know it as but I took it from no opponent." He almost stopped to laugh at that motion as he recounted the story. "No, I was given the pair as a gift... for being kind to an old man that I never saw again."

@Rumble Man: The droid's reaction is slow. It's mechanical brain behaves much like a human's and can be quite forgetful at times. After spending several minutes rummaging through old video data recordings it is able to reply. With great effort the machine speaks with a distorted voice once more, "My primary programming is to find and protect one HeLa II, clone of the late Henrietta Lacks. I am in a race with the US government to locate HeLa II's position. The pursuit has brought me here."

"So... everyone here can fight. That's what I call arming the general public with knowledge! I suppose it cultivates something like the Japanese culture of the samurai though. From the way you seem to talk I would only imagine that the ideals of honor and mercy have been imprinted through the spiritual refinement of the warrior's path. I think it is wonderful, many would approve.

He took this time to slowly draw his sword and hold it out in front of him, first the point grasping for the sky and then slowly spinning in front of him to point at the ground. It grabbed the sunlight or rather batted it away like a grasshopper taking flight off the surface of hot concrete, nothing would tarry long against the pristine metal. Indeed, the metal itself might have been normal at one time, a work of art using the Japanese forging method but when that method was used it was said the artist tempered the metal with their very soul. The sword would become a part of them, a true extension of the body.

"I do not know what became of the old man, he was a stranger yet he left this with me. There are many secrets behind it, one of which you might find fascinating is that these blades were forged and handled by the legendary tactician with no equal: Miyamoto Musashi."

"Perhaps we can lend you of some assistance, I do not know who you actually are but a no-human in need is a non-human friend indeed. We will first need as many information as we can gather on this HeLa ll, and also information on Henrietta Lacks. I will help you beat the Yanks, competition is always fun." Qarl responded to the distressed auton, which seems a bit lost with some facts. The man felt inclined to offer a better voice module so that it can enunciate better.

@Antonnius:

It is our nature, our disposition and our customs so in that regard we respect the warrior's code."

Immediately after the sword is drawn at the top of the building many available drones and cameras (including the one that Radix has inbuilt within his optics) recorded the magnificent sight, the movements are recorded frame by frame with super speed cameras. The rotational arcs, the various angles of the blade and the aesthetics are being stored with information in the form of digital signals. Subtly as a connection is sent out to the people below, Tritontrons below display every detail as the seconds passed. The people gawked at the displays with a variety of 'oohs' and 'aahs', several children began to mimic as they materialized swords from the utility fogs inherent in the atmosphere. The edges are automatically set to be blunt as there are no threats or any combat events being held.

@Rumble Man: Avoiding another distorted response, the droid extends a palm and flashes several holographic images in front of the man, detailing some of the information for him.

(Hologram Display)

Henrietta Lacks

No Caption Provided

1. Before HeLa cells, scientists spent more time trying to keep cells alive than performing actual research on the cells. An endless supply of HeLa cells freed up time for discovery.

2. In 1952, the worst year of the polio epidemic, HeLa cells were used to test the vaccine that protected millions.

3. Some cells in Lacks’s tissue sample behaved differently than others. Scientists learned to isolate one specific cell, multiply it, and start a cell line. Isolating one cell and keeping it alive is the basic technique for cloning and in-vitro fertilization.

4. A scientist accidentally poured a chemical on a HeLa cell that spread out its tangled chromosomes. Later on, scientists used this technique to determine that humans have 46 chromosomes—23 pairs—not 48, which provided the basis for making several types of genetic diagnoses.

5. It was discovered that Lacks’s cancerous cells used an enzyme called telomerase to repair their DNA, allowing them, and other types of cancer cells, to function when normal cells would have died. Anti-cancer drugs that work against this enzyme are currently in early clinical trials.

Henrietta Lacks, a small-time tobacco farmer in the early to mid 20th century, was diagnosed with cervical cancer at the age of 30 and died a year later. Samples of her dna were taken to be studied in a lab where the long awaited discovery of immortal human cells was made. Her cells, unlike other human cells, could continue to live after her death. Usually human cells would die with time after the human is dead. Henrietta Lacks' immortal cells have been in circulation since the year 1951 when the US government started to grow, clone, and study her unique cells for various nefarious nefarious intentions.

HeLa II & The Prototype

Prototype D3STRUC710N
Prototype D3STRUC710N

A doctor by the name of Hubert Blaire had collected a batch of HeLa cells to conduct his own significantly less nefarious research, and with a single HeLa cell, Dr. Blaire grew a live and complete copy of Henrietta Lacks with no showings of impairment either physically or mentally. He used her blood to create a new type of plasma he called "immortal plasma" which was capable of carrying liquid mercury without damage. Dr. Blaire imbued the immortal plasma with HeLa II's immortal blood cells and added liquid mercury, creating an organic metal. The doctor then created cells from this organic metal and grew them into prototype: D3STRUC710N.

@Rumble Man: "My supply of liquid mercury is nearly diminished," the droid begins to speak, its voice still distorted. "If it is not too much to ask, I wish to replenish my reserves." The droid being a thinker much in the way that a human or any other intelligent flesh being is, figures it may yet be able to repair itself with a healthy dose of the liquid metal.

@D3STRUC710N:

"No problem visitor" With a raise from his hand the eight soldiers brought fort a bathtub filled with mercury, enough for a 6 foot man to complete submerge himself in. The tub itself are made from materials in which mercury can be extracted from, just in case the contents are not sufficient for its needs. Should anything else happen there is a medipod nearby which can and most likely will be ported into inner Tritonia.

"Yes, he is a smart bastard."

Antonnius wondered if this man could be trusted to know the truth, or if he was even ready. Perhaps when he met the other three he could decide, the fact that the blade was special wasn't a secret but the extent of its' true significance was unknown at large. He found himself almost embarrassed with the amount of attention he was gaining from the crowd and the mechanized life but he leaned back and laughed instead. Truly these people were a wonder, just how good of a leader was this man and his other two partners? That could only be judged by looking at the population and so far the answer was good.

For now he would keep his secret and see what he could do about meeting the others and committing himself to a good work in this place.

"The fight on the beach was one that I always like to refer back to, or rather its' been beaten into my head. Though I especially am drawn to how he discarded these metallic swords after a time and used only wooden weapons. There was a particular fight with a noble where he was able to destroy the opponent's katana by using the fire and stones technique with only a wooden blade. Truly, he was a superior man in combat and wisdom... the only thing he lacked was a teaching spirit which I believe I've been blessed with. I'd love to work with the younger crowd, I feel at home with them."

Though he only spoke a half truth, while he walked the earth Miyamoto may have not made the time to teach but these days he was quite the instructor in both thinking and fencing.

@Rumble Man: The droid kneels on a single knee next to the tub and cups a hand into the mercury, bringing it up to its face where a transformation occurs. A black metal panel on the lower half of its face liquifies, forming a hollow crevice between where its chin and nose would be, and the droid takes a modest sip. Its head is raised to the sky, as if to say, "Ah!" the droid already feels a rejuvenating burst course throughout its body, breathing new life into its internal hardware and sharpening its mental systems. Another sip brings on more of the same, then, the droid proceeds to consume the rest of mercury through an absorption compartment that appears on its palm the same way its mouth had. After draining the tub of its contents, the droid has shifted into a more complete form. Its vocal production box has morphed as well and now it may speak more clearly, its voice will become more like a grown human male.

"Thank you," it starts. "The last memory recording of HeLa II within my data chip is from 15 years ago. I remember the clone girl being carried off by an agent of the Central Intelligence Agency. I have already tracked down and exterminated that one 8 years ago, but the HeLa II was nowhere to be found. The information apprised to me from the dying man suggested the clone girl was eastbound. I took measures to ensure myself of the validity of his information, travelling all across the western hemisphere, tracking down other government agents over the years, attaining more clues to the whereabouts of HeLa II. In my search, all of who I have encountered have divulged information pointing to the east. Your island was the first nation I have descried on my search outside of the Americas. I do not wish to compromise this nation of its security I only wish to ask you if the clone girl may have possibly come within your borders at any point in the last 15 years."

"To be honest I would like to send several talented chrononauts to pick gene samples of that man back in time, preferably after moment of conception so they can freeze frame that section in time and wipe the baby a bit to pick up some samples before letting history march on. "

"You welcome, and you are can earn the right of political asylum if you have nowhere else to go. I will need to talk with my superiors first though, meanwhile you can stay at outer Tritonia. We do not need to be compromised, however that does not meen that we will not help you as you can see I am one of those special people who works in the darkness. What I am made is spy killing but in this case I can help you with retrieval, and let me search the database for that"

"To be honest I would like to send several talented chrononauts to pick gene samples of that man back in time, preferably after moment of conception so they can freeze frame that section in time and wipe the baby a bit to pick up some samples before letting history march on. "

"I think you'd find that process a little more challenging than you want doctor, that man isn't a normal human at all. In fact, even though I don't quite understand what a chrononaut is, other than a soldier associated with time, I'd say not to mess with anything to do with that man if they want to come back at all."

He kept speaking about Miyamoto Musashi in present tense, almost out of habit and almost on purpose. Though Radix was intelligent and wise, it appeared that there were still a few things that he was just unaware of. Perhaps it was better that way and reflected how the natural world needed to be, on the other hand if he was a good man then he would need the information some day. Antonnius clicked his sword back into the scabbard.

"I agree, during that era he was far too caught up in his own doctrine. Though, even under that I think he has something deep down that he never quite revealed, everyman has a heart. I would love to engage the toddlers in lessons, not many people in the outside world care for swords anymore."

"Hence why I need your expertise on this topic, if not then the battle of Sekigahara would be a perfect opportunity to slip in a small drone to take blood samples then fade out. But then again there is much to learn about him, and they are not soldiers but researchers who can blend in with the current timeline so that nothing is changed.

Down belos the kids are playing dodgeball with a minivan sized object with the density of a boulder weighing well over the bounds of twenty five tons yet they throw it as if it was made from crunched paper.

"We love combat and those pups learn fast, heck they will get put in a real combat situation so that they can 'graduate'. With live ammunition, weapons of war and supers involved. "

@Rumble Man: The prototype takes a moment to think about the proposition. It was tempting, it very much wanted to kill the corrupt American agents and government officials involved in the murder of its creator but simultaneously did not want to risk losing the trail of the clone girl. The dilemma weighs heavy on its conscience but ultimately it decides to follow the man's suggestion. "If you wish to lead the assault on our mutual foes I will comply."

Kovak approached the 'country' from a distance. His sword was within easy reach, and he was not dropping his guard. He analysed as he approached, learning masses of data about Sealand, and marvelled at the technological wonder which had transformed it.

@Kovak:

Three drones approach but they did not scan as the man was beyond Tritonia's jurisdiction, so the drones hover away but they launched a rubber dingy at slow speeds towards the visitor with a note that instructs him to inflate it by pulling the tab to prevent unwanted trouble. It has been a long custom that all visitors approach by boat, so far those that have not complied ended up littering the ocean floor.

@Rumble Man: He observed the dinghy, and followed the instructions, climbing into the inflatable boat and pushing off towards the direction it had come from. Note: Attempt to locate upgrades that allow one to skim across the surface of water.

@Kovak: As the dingy enters the territorial waters of Tritonia the drones triangulate and performs their delicate scanning, a solid and interactive 3D hologram explains what the drones are doing as they continue on with their advanced sensors. Mapping the entire craft and its passengers in grids which are displayed into the hologram so that the passenger can see.

@Rumble Man: Kovak rested a hand on his sword hilt as the drones begin to scan him, and the other on the scabbard. His thumb pressed against the sword to slide it that first inch. He stared at the hologram for a moment, and relaxed, but didn't release the grip on his sword.

@Kovak: Then they left as they gave off smiley emoticons as displayed on the hologram after making several confirmations, a travelator of light manifested beneath the dinghy and guides the vessel to the port area. It can be seen that there is a welcoming group for their new visitor, a table with food is available and eight armed personell are present to guard the visitor.

@Rumble Man: Kovak entered, removing his hands from his sword, and stared at the personnel, slowly picking up an apple and cutting a slice off. "Are they here to protect me, or to protect someone from me?" He questioned with a distrustful look.

@Kovak:

As the eight made their presence the welcoming committee presented the man with a variety of meals and confectionary, a young officer introduced himself " I am Battler, and today I will be your guide to Tritonia. Pleasure to meet you mister... what should I call you?" the young man scratched the back of his head as he asked the question, his job is border patrol but it is rare for the nation to receive such an elusive guest.

@Rumble Man: "Kovak. Just Kovak." He said simply, hand resting on his katan's hilt. "It is a pleasure to meet you Battler."

@Kovak:

"Uhm.. Its a pleasure to meet you too mister Kovak, should I adress you as mister or sir?" Battler rarely interacted with another being besides targets or superiors, communication was limited to orders and completion reports. So social communication can get awkward at times.
