sci-fi stories...(give feedback ppl)

I have a developing story around this subject but I'm goanna fill you in with the background and beginning.

It is near future. I tried to develop a date to the events but my efforts have failed until now. Probably between 2050 and 2100 (given dates are subject to change).
A background is made according to several future analyses by science magazines and books because I want it to be scientifically accurate.

But according to my story, in the 70's (2070-2079) the world was shocked by the announcement of the first artificial living being. A mouse. Made according to a research deal between the US, EU Israel and Russia, (mouse name yet undefined), how the mice is called, is mice born from an incubator, with his genes chosen by supercomputers. Any zoologist would say that he is a mouse but his highly pigmented tail and green eyes don't match any known species of mice.

So in the sequence of this, ARPA is ordered to restart the Stargate project
that had already been restarted in the 40's with «genetically enhanced» human beings but then shut down again because all experiments died though to spinal overload ( their brains were so overdeveloped that their spine developed cancer) and their every attempts to overdevelop the experiments spine failed (mutants were born and obligatorily disposed of). They're ordered to generate a human being with the same tech that managed to grow (mouse name yet undefined) «tweaking» them to achieve designated goals - to make a telepathy capable human.

A lab on Alaska was created from scratch to host the project.

In the following years, several experiments are done with chimps and other animals, to determine the odds of success. They are established as acceptable and ARPA continues with the project. However the 1st human experiment (B-56) fails. Monitoring determines 2 weeks after the embryo is created that the child is unhealthy and ARPA orders its destruction. More tests are done and the error is found. One of the supercomputers had an error in databank causing several gene-sequencing errors in the calculations for B-56. The error was corrected and more animal experimentations were made to ensure reliability of the new gene databank.

The 2nd human (C-16) experiment was successful. The embryo developed normally but died due to birth complications. The mix administrated to him seemed to be too low on a few unessential proteins that were necessary due to the overdevelopment of certain areas of the brain, neural net and spine.

The mix was re-arranged, tested, and the 3rd human experiment (C-28) was generated. It was a complete success, being grown and born without problems.
Its telepath abilities were verified as soon as he was 3, when he started talking about things he had never seen like cities and walking in the country. By that time he had never left underground facilities of the lab were his quarters were. Everyday food was left for him in a small elevator. The only person he was allowed to see was his tutor, Dr. Spears, an expert in child psychology that taught him how to talk and walk. His creators, the S-team, remained at the ground levels, always watching with several video cameras and motion sensors.

At the age of 6, with the ability to see into other’s minds greatly developed, Michael, as Dr. Spears nicknamed C-28 is permanently isolated since the S-team believes that if it saw Dr. Spears mind he would have wanted to get out. His education continued throw TV screens and Dr. Spear’s voice, transmitted throw speakers. However, at the age of 10, Michael starts refusing to listen to lessons when Dr. Spear dies and is replaced. 2 years later, Michael escapes from the lab, destroying the containment doors that separated him from the elevator shaft and went up throw the stairs. No one noticed as Michael blanked the mind from the guards watching him in throw the cameras live feed and got up. He didn't even injure anyone, simply convincing the staff that he wasn't there to get out.

When he got out of the lab, too far away to blank everyone's minds, the base alarm sounded and search teams were dispatched. C-28 was never found.

ARPA, though very disappointed with the escape, agreed to continue funding the project, recognizing the enormous potential of the project.

D-01 was made. Another total success, D-01 grew up with no human around, being educated solely by speakers’ voice and screens. Dr. Popov, a world expert in child psychology, the only non-US personnel of the S-team, suggested that he would allowed out several times, that he needed to know the outside world or he would be another renegade. When he was informed that D-01, now nicknamed Daniel would be taken down at the age of 10 for this reason, he planned a way out.
In November 22, 2101, Ivanov Popov brought modified nerve agent contained in small glass recipient and a Anti-corrosive gas mask to the installation and released it into the air system of the ground levels, killing everyone inside. He grabbed his gas mask and went down, to Daniel's containment facilities with an independent air system. He drugged him and brought him up, placing on him another mask he had brought. When he went outside, he went to get a small, old civil Cessna he had left in the surroundings a few days before.

He left Daniel sleeping in a LA sidewalk, with only one message - «Don’t trust anyone but…» - and a bar code. He noticed a small cut in his lower back.


- Now this is the back story, and the rest is basically a search for C-28 (Michael) and running away from the Special Forces sent to capture him back.

- My idea was that he had both telepath and telekinetic abilities.

- telekinesis is mostly about moving stuff but we could generate powers like neck-breaking at a distance and controlling weapons. And maybe even flying powers closer to the end (telekinetic impulses to the ground can make that) and
-MDTW (massive destruction telekinetic wave – basically a big wave of destruction that would kill/injure everyone around him and destroy most things too).
- some sort of telekinetic impulse to wherever he wanted.


- Telepathy – invisibility
- mind control
- mind vision (throw-walls seeing vision – you would see everything in transparent blue and little lights on the place of people’s heads)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please suggest more powers and give feedback on the story.


Note - there is a mod proj. for this. If you want to sign up go to «Help wanted & offered» forum I hv a thread there.
 
youve got a load of ideas there but have you started the story because i would like to see a bit if you have to see your writing style.
 
Please don't say - «this is all wrong...»

say «like this you see...» and give constructive critics and suggestions.
 
im not saying its wrong there is some good ideas but i would like to see what writing style youve got before i can give you any ideas (im an underground writer)
 
See «HL2 fanfic» topic in «HL2 discussion»

This is to serve as a background (or the beggining chapters) so the I'll probably develop some more a few scenes.

Couldn't tell that from you spelling/grammar...
Is that why you smoke pot?
 
BlackWolfdrk said:
picxture of what


Of you smoking pot.

I have an undying interest in human society and its limitations and unacepted acts.
 
uh i dont think so anyway i ent got a camera at the mo and im a very kind funny chatty person i just like to smoke pot im not a selfish arogant bastard some people are who smoke pot but im one of the lucky few.
 
anyway, on topic: I think mind vision should just allow him to see through other peoples eyes instead of being able to see straight through walls.
 
Now theres an idea.
I like it. It's different, anyway. the only problem would be implementing psycic powers in such a way that they are easy to use and not fiddly, but still feel fresh and different.
 
i like your writing style. the more you do it the better it gets. im a writer myself (though generally it is journalism) and id be interested to see more of whatever you write. pm it to me :), or post here.

i think my first suggestion is change the date. make it something more realistic. 2014 sounds good, or maybe 2010. thats a nice number.

you may want to make it just 1 country. a solo effort has a more sinister tone to it, than a multinational effort. i dont know, just my opinion. it would also be interesting if it were a third world country that had somehow gotten its hands on this technology.

what does arpa stand for?

if youve ever read a book called shades children, the author uses highly technical phrasing with many things. an error in a database isnt as impressive as "data allocation error" or something rediculous like that

psychic powers need to be more..distant. example: michael has the ability to "remote view". this is an actual phenomenon in which a person enters a meditative state and views whatever he's thinking of. this makes for a more interesting and gripping plot because the guy can just use some rediculous pyshic blast and escape anything.

thats just for the story, this would make a fine mod.

nice job i enjoyed it :)

See HL2 Fanfic, there are a few chapters of a discontinued story there.

I've based the birth of (name yet undefined) on scientific magazine's predictions (and mine too) for scientific accuracy. According to most predictions, we won't see an artficial animal before 2100 so I even pulled it a little backwards.

Only the (name yet undefined) mouse is a Multinacional effort. The Stargate Proj. is US-only. A 3rd world country would take 30 years to make anything. Look how much time nukes weren't available to them.

gh0st said:

Advanced Research Projects Agency - it exists.
And so does the Stargate project. It existed during the 70's/80's and managed «special» people that could pinpoint locations without any knowledge (for ex - they told them there was an ammo depot in LA and they could pinpoint its exact location in a LA map) or even people ( one of them reportedly managed to see the conditions of a Gen., kidnaped in Germany by the Red Brigades and they saved him according to the info from him)

I see. I'll do it, it seems good to give the feeling of major knowledge...

And «mind vision» is learnt, he doesn't comes with it. In the beggining he will have to foll police forces and others to not seeing/touching/smelling him and that will be done throw «remote view» but he doesn't needs to meditate, he just hinks real hard about it.
The physic blast will be one-use only. He will be restrained and angry by the death of a friend and he will do it, but only then.

FEEDBACK PPL!

I'm needing some more constructive critics.
 
Dr. Popov being informed of ARPA plans and reaction

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Ivanov had been summoned to the ARPA central offices in Washington. He was worried it was a displacement announcement, he had no wish to detach with the Stargate Project at the moment. In happier moments, he thought that they could have sent a letter to do that, maybe they would allow D-01 to get out of the cont. facilities as he asked. But in the moments of true reflection he knew that they would never call him for anything like that. «It’s something else», he thought.
- But what? – he had allowed his thoughts to become words.
«It doesn’t matters. I’ll live or they would have killed me by now»
This thought went throw his mind several times, reassuring him. But when he exited the subway train into the station he noticed something. It was empty. Not one living thing was in the station. His thoughts returned to dark ones. He was whispering to himself.
- They’ll kill me, they have me now…. I have nothing….I have nothing to fight them…
Ivanov jumped behind an empty flower pot when he heard a loud voice.
- Dr.? I’m sorry to scare you, are you Dr. …Ivenov Popov?
«Get yourself together» he thought while emerging from behind the pot, cleaning himself of the ground dust.
- Ivanov, and yes I am. Who are you?
- I’m Mark. I was sent to escort you to ARPA.
- Hmm… I see. Well I know perfectly the way to there so…
- Oh, yes sir, we know you do! You see, with the increasing terrorist attacks ….well… let’s say that D.C. isn’t very safe right now.
- Those Freedom Brigades assholes, ha? Well, I understand. Let’s go then.
The 2 man walked out of the underground to a busy street. There, in the middle of one of the biggest streets of Washington, was an unsuspected building, made in the beginning of the XXI century. A building with an exterior entirely made of one-way mirrored glass, «looking mirrors» as they called them in that age. Dr. Popov noticed that his companion, though a tall, strong man, didn’t seemed to be part of Sec. Forces. He seemed out of his place escorting him, constantly ignoring every security precaution on the book. Sure, he wasn’t that important but that was no reason to have such behavior.
- You aren’t part of regular Sec. Forces, are you?
- No sir. I’m a fresh recruit. Every regular is on the street.
They walked pass the street, now at the main entrance of the ARPA office building.
- Do you have your gene card with you, Dr?
- No. I thought it wasn’t needed. The biometric and iris scans aren’t enou…?
- You’re right Dr. It wasn’t . But now it is. You see…
- Security precautions. Well those attacks are making everyone’s life difficult aren’t they?
- You bet. Those assholes… I guess we can make a gene test for you.
They entered the building through the grand hall, still unchanged since the 50’s.
- The insignia on the floor, the stone pillars… It looks like you don’t redecorate a lot…
- We try spending less on the visible and spending more on the invisible dr.
They had reached the checkpoint balcony, an old wood circle with 2 men inside, looking at their monitors. One of them turned to the newcomers.
- Hi Mark. How’s it going with the Doc?
- All good. He hasn’t brought his DNA card, he hasn’t come in here for some time. I thought maybe we could make the tests on the instantaneous.
- Sure. Give me your arm Dr.
Popov extended his arm over the balcony, losing a small blood percentage in a few seconds.
- Ok Dr. Just wait a minutes while I check the results with your file. Ivenov Popov is it?
- Ivanov. Is there anywhere I can sit?
- Yes Dr. Go to corridor on the left corner. There are a few chairs there. And Mark you’ve been called upstairs.
- Thanks. Nice meeting you Dr.
- Me too.
Popov walked to the indicated chairs and waited there, alone, for the DNA test results until he heard a voice from the speakers.
-Dr. Ivanov Popov called to reception; Dr. Ivanov Popov called to reception.
He walked back to the reception, surprised by the view of another human being going the opposite way. When he reached the balcony the man that had been in charge was no longer there, but his replacement seemed to recognize him.
- Dr. you’re cleared, your DNA checks out. You’re called for the 4th floor, conference room.
- Thanks. Have we met before?
-I thought you wouldn’t remember me. I’ve been your student in Hamburg Dr a few years ago but I dropped out.
- Well, each one has their reasons. You’re part of the security here?
- Yes, dr. but just for a few months. I’m just earning some money to start my own business.
- Once you’re in, you never go out. I hope that doesn’t apply to you, son.
- I don’t think so sir, I’m in the lowest level of security.
- Good for you. Take care.
- You too Dr.
Popov walked away to the elevators, going through an open gene card control door.
When he reached the elevators, he instinctively looked up to the biometric scanners and placed his finger on the fingerprint analyzer. The doors opened and he his voice code and «4th floor». It welcomed him with its metallic, feminine voice.
- Welcome Dr. You are summoned at the 4th floor conference room.
When the doors opened, they revealed an empty floor. He asked for the mainframe for directions.
- Conference room.
Again, the artificial woman voice of the mainframe answered.
- Go right at the next intersection and you should find it Dr.
- Thank you.
- You’re welcome.
Popov hated computers, but he knew nobody could go anywhere those days without one so he was gentle to most of them. And they were always right as he could verify by the door at his front.
When he opened the door it was exactly what he expected. It was a small cubic room with a chair in the middle. He sat down and closed the door and all the lights were shut down. 4 projectors emitted rays of light into the walls around him, generating a room around him with a circular table. The holo-conference had begun. Dark faces started appearing where the chairs were supposed to be, 12 at total. When the last one sat down, a voice started talking to him, apparently from the man at his front.
- Dr. Yuri Ivanov Popov, graduated at Moscow in general biology. Recurrent essays on telepathy and its possible uses, made him a perfect candidate for the 2nd phase of the Stargate project.
- Do you know why you are here doctor? – avoice coming from his left asked.
- No Sir. I find weird I am in a holo-conference room. This could be done in our Alaska base without the need to dislocate.
- You are here, my good Dr. because this is one of the only secure international holo-rooms in the country with these recent terrorist uprisings. The Stargate project isn’t something that can be discussed in easy-hacking channels like the B2B.
- Certainly, Sir.
- It has come to our attention that you have asked several times to allow D-01 to exit his containment facilities. You seem to believe that if he is not allowed, then he will eventually turn rogue. What we are about to say to you requires class 5 authorization. You will not repeat this to anyone else from the S-team and stop transmitting sensible Stargate data in B2B channels for useless requests. D-01 will be eliminated before reaching mental and physical instability, widely known as «puberty». It is explained our denial. Good day Dr.
The holographic generated room faded out and the lights were turned back on. Dr. Popov was furious. ARPA had dragged him all the way to Washington just to say «No». «Well I will refuse to dispose of a human being like that! I’ll get him out.»

I really liked it. I think you could do a hell of alot with that story.

I like everything, but here's a sugestion on the mind controle part ( just somthing I thought would be interesting)

With the mind controll stuff, I like the idea of C-28 making eveyone just know know he's there, running right by them. I think one thing that would be cool though is that C-28 could create a false reality for people. And have them not even realize where they just were, and they will just go with it.

Like for how he would get out of the room they keep him in. He could see the guard in his mind right outside the door. Then he makes the guard belive he is back at his childhood home and one of his friends is knocking on the door......so then C-28 would just see the guard opening the door and saying "come on in Tommy!". And C-28 just waltzes right out of there. And he could make other people think he's someone else mabie....like insted of them just not seeing him. I think that would be a pretty neat way to show of his true powers.

The other thing is........... I dont think you should call it the "Stargate" project. Stargate was a neat scify movie, and then an incredibly horrible TV series.

But if you want it to go with the real thing, I've got no problem with that.

There is no guard. He lives in a undergroung containmnent were no one is allowed and there is only 1 elevator capable to bring ppl down for emergencies and it's locked away by 2 heavy armored doors. He brings them down and goes up through the shaft stairs. But the «alternate reality» thing - gave me some good ideas, I'll implement them shortly when I describe his escape.

The Stargate proj. existed in the 70's/80's but with «special people». So i thought it would be logical to continue with it.
 
your writing style suits the story you have decided to do the sci fi in it is done top notch well done :)

Anyone else?
 
Ah ok.... I get it now. That sounds cool. I'm glad the alternate reality thingy could give you some ideas.

And I hadn't read the part where you talked about the Stargate thing, and how it was somthing really done in the 60's-70's. I like being true to real life things in stories too :)

BTW I had already stated that in an upper post.

C-28's escape is coming up tonight. Stay tuned.
