I was looking at [livejournal.com profile] iantos_desktop wondering if [livejournal.com profile] lorannah had posted any Children of Earth stuff. Instead I saw she made some very nice 19th/20th/21st timelines, though something very interesting on the twentith century timeline caught my attention. Since [livejournal.com profile] lorannah footnoted it with coming from "The Torchwood Archives" and me actually having that same book, I decided to look up the information myself.

...Those clever bastards. Lucia Moretti, one of the people mentioned in "Children of Earth" is mentioned in "The Torchwood Archives" as well. Both sources agree with her staffing date, 1968-1975, but disagree on her date of death. Torchwood Archives says 1998, CoE says 2006, and for a CoE reason, the Archives Date doesn't work.

Also, there's a lot of references to Children of Earth in the James Moran's Captain's Blog Ongoing Archive notes of a Dr. Patanjali as a young medic at the hospital asking about Torchwood. On the Lost Souls page there's also a yellow sticky post with "Why can I find no trace of Jim and Mary Sangster at the GRO?"

EDIT: Earlier in the book there are two post-its that also contain references. The first is "Who is Timothy White? and the other is "Where is Clemont McDonald?" Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] eawen_penallion tip-off that there were even more references.

What all these references mean )

I wonder if there's any references to Lilian Cartwright, who works in the council offices, or SilverClaw who a member of the school computer club in any of the audioplays, books, or audio exclusives.

I must be in a bad mood: I keep designing scifi WMDs. This time, it's not a biologic like the Miscegenation Virus.

One of the sides in a war was known psychic talent, and the other side was decidedly less so. So that side created a machine that would send out a psychic blast that would incapacitate the other side, and in tests it worked.

They test it on the field of battle? It's too strong, it covers too big of an area. Both sides take massive casulaties, and those who live are either insane or psychicly deffend. And it's not just the soilders - the blast is hundreds of miles wide and takes out hundreds and hundreds of population centers.

...The basic idea is a "tactical nuke" gone horribly, horribly wrong.

Is there someplace that has and explanation of time travel and the whole five dimensions thing? I came up with a theory in History and Philosophy of Physics lecture, but I just want to see what else it out there.

I took my last final today, and I have to say that the infomatic final went the best.

Perhaps it was because I didn't have to write three essays for it like my Spanish and Ethics finals. And didn't have anything to do with syntax, which is always good.

Other than that, I went and shipped my Christmas gifts. And I just realized I didn't turn in the rest of the bookeeping things for this semester. Though I still have Friday to clean house.

In a word, I didn't paricualarly accomplish anything important - though my brain thought it was vitaly important to start gluing together some of my worldbuildiing notes. So I got to poke around Latin sites and Greek sites and Wikipedia trying to get the correct form of words for the name of a fake company. I ended up with Lux Chemeia, though it's probably not right as "Chemeia" is Greek and "Lux" is Latin, but they didn't have "alchemy" in Latin, so I had to go with the Greek.

Unless "alchemy" is actually Latin, then it's just because the Greek word for "lux" isn't as pretty.

Yes, my favorite part of world building is the tiny, almost pointless details. Much like I've taken it as my cannon that Dr. F was some breed of psychologist and Dr. E was a nueroscientist, but it makes sense in my head so I'm sticking to it.

Though Dr. F was called a psychologist by someone else first. I'm fuzzy on the who exactly, but I think it's [livejournal.com profile] krwalker cannon, yes?

And I have no problem with the new interface either. I was a bit WTF at first because I had just installed some new stuff to Firefox, so I thought it was just me that had the new design. Nice to know I'm not going mad, though.

cut for relgiousy, politicy matters )

Well, it was either this or ranting about further univese construction things. Right now I'm working on the shape of the omniverse, since the shape of the 'verses work well on a local level (I have fourth and third dimensional space visualised, but not the others), just I'm not sure if I can have true parrell dimensions in a sphere - and trying to visualise cyliders on a saddle shape omniverse is apparently insanity inducing.

Plus, my omniverse is based off of Portal, Digimon, and the Buffyverse. Mostly since they all seem to work off of the same idea, with some minor modifications.

Now to just figure out if omnidimensional space is a biverse gateway, a polyverse gateway, or laying outside a verse, or just describes the space since it's the absensces of something that defines it. The only reason why this bothers me is because of radio, or what people used to travel in (hence "on the air" or more properly "on the aether") Do the universe really need to be in anything?

Oh, I forgot the Buffy Charecter meme. )
