so about that warehouse

[somarium_lords]

Sorry for the delay—we've been pretty much all over the place! But for those who may be interested the following is a sample of what our brave heroes recovered from their time at the warehouse. Most likely they brought more, but we've provided a translation of the pertinent ones. It can be assumed that there are more documents with similar findings.

This can be freely accessed by everyone through their Dreamberries, and we'll include this in a more official page. Characters can theorize and make of it as they will.

Here we go!

TEST SUBJECTS

Name: Tim
Age: 29
Sex: M
Study Focus: Noctaere transformation. Experimentation on subject involved proved difficult. Body rejected copious amounts of nightmare energy. Resulted in a failed transformation. Will be kept under close watch for possible changes.

Name: Stitch
Age: Unknown
Sex: M
Study Focus: Nightmare energy extraction. Experimentation on the subject resulted to its passing. Energy extraction must be lowered to 46% to avoid repetition of failure.

Name: Joanne Hale
Age: 33
Sex: F
Study Focus: Noctaere transformation. Transformation process successful. Length of process lasted 9 days. Nightmare energy within the body settled within first 17 hours of exposure. Full transformation occurred four days later.

[OOC NOTE: Yes, the Stitch mentioned here is the same one that used to be in Somarium, so characters may recognize the name.]

SPECIES

Nycteren
Type: Shadow, energy sucking
Nightmare Output: 37%

Notes: Swift. Uses reflective surfaces to travel. Has the ability to gain nightmare energy simply by appearing on said surfaces at night, should there be an energy source within a 20 foot radius.

Naetelis
Type: Attack
Nightmare Output: 61%

Notes: Easily the most dominant species of noctaere created. Thirst for nightmare energy is strong. Species will go to drastic lengths to attain said energy, going as far as attacking others out in the open. Strongest when the moon is new. Attacks by Naetelis within the region have become frequent since the Dream Gates were opened on July 31, XXXX.

Nochecabra
Type: Energy sucking
Nightmare output: Unknown

Notes: Rare. Experimentation to replicate the species has proven difficult and unsuccessful. Testing will continue until a proper sample has been made.

Embryos
Type: Passive
Nightmare Output: 24%

Notes: The embryos within the eggs mature slowly, taking at least half a year to reach full maturity within the egg. The experiment ran on April XXXX has proven that development may be hastened should the embryo be exposed to high concentrations of nightmare energy. Development was cut down to one month instead of six. It is only a matter of days until the embryos finally hatch. Species within the egg may vary depending on percentage of exposure.

WAREHOUSE 250
LOCATION: Zone 6
# EMPLOYEES: 20
# TEST SUBJECTS: 50
PURPOSE: Nightmare Energy Extraction and Manipulation

For the past three years, we the researchers of WAREHOUSE 250 have made steady progress on NIGHTMARE ENERGY EXTRACTION. I would expect that within six months time we should be able to continually and efficiently extract NIGHTMARE ENERGY from various individuals. We are now at a point where it can also be done with only MINOR psychological damage to the subject. We expect for this to be overcome as well within the next six months.

The new breeds and species we’ve managed to create are also coming along well. The new method of creation should speed along the process, and should be ready within the next month or so.

However, we need more suitable subjects with greater dream energy output as well as more technology. Assistance from the other zones will be necessary, especially from ZONE 20.

This upcoming batch may prove interesting. I was not around for the first round, but I look forward to seeing if anything has changed. They will also serve as wonderful test subjects for our other endeavors. The ones that were brought in last month were quite interesting and provided a good sample of those in that place. Considering the high concentration of DREAM ENERGY it’s no surprise. We might have been a little too rough on them, however...but it was all for a good cause.

GATE #386

LOCATION: Room 315
STATUS: Inoperable

GATE #386 is currently INOPERABLE due to some technical malfunction in its inner core. As part of an experiment, the technicians tried using some experimental nightmare energy to power it. This was to see if the gate could reach pass its current boundaries. The experiment was a failure due to the high energy output which resulted in a short circuit. Still awaiting the necessary parts from ZONE 20 and ZONE 4.”

GATE #136

LOCATION: Region 5
STATUS: Operational

The GATE #136 has been left as is due to the GATE #386’s current inoperable state. GATE #226 is currently being tested for higher energy output levels. The current locations accessible by GATE #136 are as follows:

- ZONE 1, GATES #141, #531, #791
- ZONE 2, GATES #482, #732
- ZONE 3, GATE #653
- ZONE 8, GATES #218, #648, #908
- ZONE 12, GATE #1012
- ZONE 15, GATES #3715, #7115
- ZONE 16, GATE #5416
- ZONE 20, GATES #8920, #9720
- ZONE 25, GATE #1025

Under certain conditions, GATE #136 can connect to the following GATES:

- GATE 00S878
- GATE 20S656
- GATE 89S731
- GATE 90P003
- GATE 36D672
- GATE 61D008
- GATE 43C876

Note: GATE #386 was accessed by an unauthorized individual on January 25, XXXX. Individual is currently in our care.

OOC NOTE: For the record and for your own personal information, the gate that was used in the event from Somarium is GATE 20S656. Character's won't immediately realize this, however, the can make good guess that the gates from the warehouse are GATE #136 and #386. It could also be easily surmised that there was a third gate that they weren't aware of, and possibly more.

If you have any other player questions as to what a character could figure out, feel free to ask them here! Otherwise, you can ask them ICly on the NPC post.
