❝Then I'll need one of you to become the test subject.❞

[A large, smooth metallic structure (a fon machine), with a readout machine set up beside it, is brought to the Astral Plane. Connected to readout machine, there is a smaller base. Jade's copy of Physics of the Impossible is set down, a glowing semisphere enclosing it, and information from its analysis is moving across one of the computers.

Doctor Mambo Jade has a small fon machine in his hand, a device for scanning people.]


I've made some experiments on the behaviour of the book that was recovered from the library some time ago. The copy we recovered radiates fonons—the base matter of our world and similar to the atoms of a number of worlds represented here.

In the presence of most individuals from my world, whether capable of fonic artes or not, the fonons radiated do not integrate into their structure. However, for two people of my world able to access the Plane, the fonons radiating from the book mix with our own, in a manner similar to my world's Contamination Effect.

With only two subjects and one book, the sample is inadequate. I would like to request volunteers from other worlds for testing. The process is brief and non-invasive. It merely requires a scan with the device in my hand.

Additionally, if there are scientists from these other worlds, I would appreciate their assistance in calibrating these fon machines to the structures of their worlds, which may be somewhat dissimilar from my own.

[Jade adjusts his glasses and adds,] For those concerned, this experiment is being conducted with the permission of the Malkuth Empire. If anybody gets hurt, you are free to take out your revenge on Emperor Peony Upala Malkuth IX.

[Best friend ever, right?]

It's a good emperor's job to take on hardships for their subjects.

And hey, who knows, maybe I'll get stabbed in the back again, too!

[he says this in the same cheerful way someone might talk about getting ice cream]

I didn't realize the things I said were so meaningful to you. It looks like that Anise has been schooling you in flattery.

Revenge with your blessings, I presume?

My mistake.

I'll be sure to limit my revenge to the non-violent sort.

Well, since you respectfully asked, how could I ever hope to refuse?

Nonviolent revenge it is, then.

[Mu sits nearby and nods at Jade] At your convienience.

How could I not care about my most trusted colonel? Man, you're just a nihilist, aren't you?
lamb_of_gold: (oh hai)

[personal profile] lamb_of_gold 2011-04-12 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I do.

Atoms.

[a beat, and then he shrugs]

Eh, you're probably right. I guess I'm just blind to your faults.

Could you explain it in more detail? I did not notice anything odd with the book, but I'm capable of Seeing the flow of certain energies in my world. If your fonons behave similarly, I might be able to See something if I bring it home with me.

[Oh my-- Jade wants test subjects, everybody run.]

How'd you find a book like that over here?
