Justicar nods to
Winter Herald and leaves the LESP for his
Sea Sentinel workship. Short as the trip is it is mostly on autopilot as
Hikari is in his
Architect Mode in VR design and preparation of the equipment and gear needed for
Winter Heralds potential
'Journey into Mystery' in close consultation with
'Karl' on the technical specifications of a potential Dimensional Detector device...
The basic principle of the detector is simple it is more like a Quantum sonar. The basic being a derivation of particle beam weaponry, the particle accelerator instead being a closed array of a micro particle collider instead of a directed particle beam. Electrons and protons are collided in a regular pulse resulting in a burst of subatomic particles of muons, leptons and other various quarks in a regular burst; these 'bursts' of subatomic particles are monitored by multiple internal precision Calorimeters both ~ Electromagnetic to monitor the resulting energy of electrons and photons and Hadronic to measure hadrons consisting of quarks, protons and neutrons. The result is to measure the energy, momentum and velocity of the released particles.
In addition added is a high-speed computer processor to calculate how fast the particle are moving as the particles ionize the high density lead core material but also the plastic scintillators or liquid argon mediums of the detector. Particles moving faster than light will give off Cherenkov radiation at an angle that depends on its velocity. Alternatively, when a particle crosses the boundary between two electrical insulators with different resistances to electric currents, it emits transition radiation, the energy of which depends on the particle's velocity.
Collating all these clues from different parts of the detector, the high-speed computer builds up a snapshot of what was in the detector at the moment of a collision. Then the computer scours the collisions recorded for unusual particles, or for results that do not fit current theories.
The purpose is to closely monitor all the results of the pulsed particle collisions.. the 'sonar' burst.
Hikari's theory is that the closer he gets in proximity to a oscillating super-string brane of a dimensional quantum entangled threshold the particle stream being detected will attenuate in closer proximity as the oscillations will react to the quantum abnormality. Since he already knows where the dimensional threshold is.. its will be an easy thing to record the particle pulses at a distance and then in close proximity how much they have changed in reaction to the super-dimensional anomaly.
THAT can be recorded and looked for similar patterns to find other Dimensional thresholds... or at least
Hikari's theory hopes so.
This is all normal earth science tech available today... the wonder is
Hikari's ability to miniaturize such complex sensors.. just like the Avionics tech that he initially designed that led to the
Justicar suit being funded.
The question is...
'Will Hikari have enough time to build the detector?'
All too shortly before any calculations or design plans for the detector can be completed
Justicar arrives at the
Sea Sentinel. Quickly he arranges and in the workshop prepares the equipment gear and ordinance for
Winter Herald's potential trip... he must spend time in the workshop constructing a drone interface control helmet for the
Remote Drone Control Unit he wants
Winter Herald to carry... unfortunately it will take far too much time to construct a new drone.. and they are not cheap! So he will have to donate one of
Justicar's drones to the mission..
Drone-Delta.
He arranges another
Portable Scan Dihilator, fitted with multiple sensors of every variety and interfaced with the drone's processor to record and scan for as much sensor data as can be collected. Not cheap.. he sighs... but he is rushed for time. Envious to get to work on his Dimensional Scanner. He adds a computer communications protocol to the drone to ping any GPS satellite on return giving its location immediately.
The drone mounting he will attach to a half-suit set of
hard armor for ease already a variation of the
Senor Garcia armor under construction in the autofac.
He picks out a sturdy and good range weapon with 8 clips of ammo and a selection of grenade ordinance to supplement 'options' for
Winter.
Still the whole package comes to a 100lbs weight, 50 of it being the drone itself.
Hikari greedily looks at how much time he has expended preparing the
'Probe Gear' for
Winter, and decides to spend some rushed time working on the detector..
While working he will call up
Jonny Roget/Snowblind to see how he is doing to make sure he is making progress in his efforts with the leads to HVAC work
Hikari pointed him to.
Hikari will also look into his data request in this search engines in his investigations to see if his requests have yielded any additional intel..
QUESTIONS Unanswered ~
{OOC: I know my posts can be long.. but I still have not received answers to these posed questions}
Justicar:
1. Hikari will then dig deeper into Valentin Navokov, seeking to find out more details about the Criminal activity specifically the Russian Mafia he was working with and exactly what he was dealing in with them if INTERPOL knows.
2. He will also look closer at what Caveat Allure's Models were involved in what events, gala's, other publicity, charity/party events they were involved in looking for anything odd or supplementary that might have been in the news associated with such events and or appearances by Caveat Allure models with an eye to any 'criminal' activity.
3. Taking the Severed Bungee cord he will examine the dimensionally-sheared molecular severed end with a Geiger-counter to see if their is specifically any difference in background radiation count emitted from the sheared end? Radiation count was the one thing not reported as tested for at either the Event or the Vault Breach at the State Bank.
4. He will use his Portable Scan Dihilator to run every sensory test to see if anything reads out of the ordinarily expected; examining the sheared end of the bungee cord. He will even adjust the Portable Scan Dihilator to take a Kirlian Photograph of the sheered cord to see if that reveals any other energy or odd EM results?
5. He will return to the video footage of the crowds watching the event. There was a blue flash.. he is going to examine the crowds and terrain specifically not looking for odd people in the crowd but looking for the 'Blue Flash'.. reflected in the surfaces around them. He is looking to see if the blue flash was reflected in the terrain features of reflective surfaces and if there are any anomalous sources of blue flash light that are Not on reflective surfaces? What does that tell him? Not sure, but he trying to see if the blue flash had a source unidentified before?
6. Justicar paused carefully recording the details of Vitaly/Provider's fantasy tattoos... then something clicked... there was Famous original Fantasy Art stolen in the State Bank Heist! He compared the descriptions to the Frank Frazetta stolen art.
7. Justicar put in this data together and sent a query to INTERPOL requesting any information they had on known Russian Supervillains and this Vitaly/Provider Id. See if they had any corroborating intel on Vitaly/Provider's criminal or supervillain associates or any idea on his powers or known criminal activity.

{OOC: I know making detectors is 'technically' the Analytical Genius' origin, but Hikari does have skills and should not be restricted from using them. Prof. Undorf is not a Analytical Genius either and he knows far more.}
Hikari is ...rushed.. and he hates being rushed! The particle accelerator collider was small... just like his blaster weaponry... but the added Calorimeters and their various high density cores were NOT small and he really needed more time to work on miniaturizing their mechanical parts to practicality.
Karl was invaluable in helping.
Justicar called the LESP to inform
Winter he was still working and needed more time, but as the half-hour stretched to an hour he was not sure the Dimensional device was ready.. but
Winter Herald was waiting.
Justicar took what he had and returned to LESP...
Approaching
Winter Herald he raised his visor to address him,
"Sorry it took longer then I'd hoped... the gear is all here .. I'll have to lend you one of my drones, I can't just make those on the fly. They are expensive... so try not to break it."
He unloaded the portable sensory gear explaining it and weapons provided... in addition he was carrying some large dictionary-sized electronic device with a readout screen which he did Not hand to
Winter but kept himself.
