<strong><span class="bbc_u">FAQS Re: Xidora's Ship:</span></strong><br/><br/>1. Is Xidora's ship technology compatible with the Cathedral's technology?<br/>No. All of the Cathedral's technology came from the IOS two years ago, and it would have been built by human engineers (e.g. Steve Jobs).<br/>Since Xidora's native language is not English, and her race is superior to human technology, it would be too far advanced.<br/><br/>2. Could the Cathedral's technology be altered enough to fit Xidora's technology?<br/>Maybe. This project would take a<em>couple of years</em>and would require a time skip. It would require the following characters to work together: Amber (Technomacy), Barry (Electricity Generation), Antigone (Hyper Intellect), and Xidora (background knowledge).<br/><br/>None of the other characters would have abilities related to using alien technology in this way.<br/>Kaine could oversee the student's project with Xidora, but only if he has been on his Father's ships and seen his Father's alien technology, which has some general similarities (though, the specific details would be different). If he's never seen his Father's technology, he wouldn't know anything about alien materials. Additionally, this would require him to be open about his DNA with the other members of the house.<br/><br/>@Juggtacular, this is up to you and Kaine's backstory, but Marley would like someone to watch the kiddos work with strange and potentially dangerous alien technology.<br/><br/>3. What areas could the technology be used in?<br/>Since the technology is being salvaged from a space ship, it cannot be used to fortify all areas of the Cathedral. That would not make sense.<br/><br/>a)<strong>Any metal on the outside or interior the ship that is salvageable, can be used to build the greenhouse/garage/combat areas and other outdoor infrastructure.</strong>The inside of the house is fine as is. Effectively, you are just bending mental like a blacksmith. This requires force, but not high intellect. All characters could work on this.<br/><br/>b) Any communication systems that have not been destroyed may be used (some of them will have been destroyed due to gravity). However, there is no WIFI left on Earth. This means that the Cathedral would be developing its own communication system, using Xidora's technology, that does not require WIFI or a cell tower or anything of the sort. This communication system would be entirely off grid, and would be limited (due to there only being so many materials on the ship in the first place).<strong>You guys would be essentially creating 3-4 radios with inhuman range, that cannot be effected by superpowers or other technology</strong>. Again, this would require the same group as Question #2, as it would require a certain set of powers.<br/><br/>c) Any sensors from the ship may be used to enhance the Cathedral's security systems, which are currently broken (that's why Amber is fixing them IC).<strong>This would be very finicky, and could go very wrong, as the senors would be calibrated for an alien ship and not a human house.</strong>This would be a last resort. This would be an Amber/Xidora project, under Marley's watch. Eric can be the test dummy at the end, cause he can teleport through shadow's if shit goes sideways (and it will).<br/><br/>I don't think anything else on the ship could be used, because none of the characters could understand it and it would be too damaged.<br/>I will<strong>not</strong>let you build weaponry from the ship, nor will I let you make the Cathedral a fortress. Bad guys can still attack us, otherwise it's less fun.
