VERY produktive morning - spent in unexpected meeting with future Apokiliptikans. First time to have met self in 3rd person. Detail to follow...

Report BEGINS:

Had interesting unexpected visit from kontingent from Kamp Apokiliptika from post pre-apokiliptik era. Seems while soon-to-be-former Herring Kamp were playing with new HTTT toy, Apokiliptika scientist corps designed superior device to bend time & space, so as to assure doom across all time line continuoums. Is called "Apokiliptika Doom Applikation Portal Transport" (A.D.A.P.T.)".

Meeting between present and future Apokiliptikans using A.D.A.P.T. technology, secret location near Nassau, Bahamas. Note WTF tower in background from playa interface.

Is based not on soon-to-be-realized failed herring technology - in Kombat Konditions, herring technology will first fry, then stink, as Herring kamp soon to find out - but superior Mk. IV Jellyfish Drive, perfected for use in version 2.0 of Mantis and Arachnia semi-autonomous self-controlled puppet.

De-klassified view of Mk IV Jellyfish Drive Unit.

More on Arachnia - will be self propelled and self-determinent. Allows Kamp Kommand staff to relax in Kantina and drink Brew and quaff Vodka(later to report) while Unit brings doom automatically to BRC.

De-klassified image of Arachnia, showing basic construction detail.

Beg to report further - Kernul looks dashing with silver highlights in moustache. New interrogator uniforms using variable-opacity fabric and automatic electrified whip deployment work marvelous. Then-new "Chamber of Horror" (replaced wildly successful "Doom Dome") goes far beyond simple interrogation techniques used earlier, with adaptation of AI-interface prisoner containment suits. Field-deployable trailer-mounted expandable mobile spa unit in 3rd Kantina expansion wildly successful, as was radio interface units for Kamp Personnel.

Picture of inside of Apokilipti-spa unit - doubles as reactor coolant resivoir.

Kamp Herring, as did UN Peacekeepers before them, to be as proud Konverts to Apokiliptikan way of thought. Succumbed predictably to interrogation efforts, Have turned their scientific and propogandistic talent for furtherment of doom, instead of depravity and fishy business.

Symbol adopted by Herringites after Apokiliptik Assimilation

And finally, they (or more properly, we then) did to report on-site underground brewery producing cheaper and stronger substitute for PBR, which is called, simply enough, Doom Brew. Also test firing of underground alambic shows progress of creating "red fairy' to compete with BDC&WB's finest, as well as Fallout Vodka, at app. 84% abv. and cheap hydrazine rocket fuel.

View of underground alambic in secret bunker

Visit then ended. Were kind enough to leave us with "plans".

De-klassified version of top-secret plans.

Nice to know when enemy is not only doomed, but will fall in and align forces with Superior Apokiliptik Despotic regime. Also good to know will age quite nicely, and that all are truly doomed.

In service to doom, yours...

Official report ends - NOW.

The lack of suitable situational awareness and reconaissance info for the neutral forces is about to be addressed. Details coming soon.

Statement from His Excellency Omar Suarez Head of
the Provisional Military Council and president a vie.
Head of State news conference after preliminary
session of Synchophant States Summit Port Louis, Mauritius
Glorious news for all progressive,loyal and militant
camps,especially those who follow the Killbuck Line.
The day of the peoples victory has come even closer.
The area to the south of Club Verboten,a peace
loving camp known for Beatles art and burn barrels,has today
petitioned for entry into the ferminent of revolutionary
forces.Their request has been warmly accepted by
Central Committee of The PMC at an emergency meeting
in OmarSuarezStadt.We have not heard from our comrades
at Kamp Apokoliptika as to their knowledge of these events,but
we expect to shortly.
However let me say that troops from Apokoliptika
as well as a very small number of well trained
security personel from Club Verboten have been invited in
to help preserve order in the camp while this triumphant
change of staus takes place.We shall not stay long.
We lend only a hand to the workers,peasants and soldiers
as they labor to change the bourgeois idleness of the former
Camp Pepperland into a fist for the people that will
be forever known,from this day on, as........ Stasiland.

If your technology worked you would have seen that others had leads on similar if not superior technology. Or in other words what you have is the eqivalent of Betamax while we went VHS. And everyone knows how that war turned out.

Shows how much you know!!! The reason why VHS won over Betamax is Sony's own fault. They wouldn't allow anyone else produce their VCR's with Beatmax technology. (Except Sanyo if I remember correct.) Then everyone else started to make VHS. Betamax was more expensive than VHS, so people started to buy more VHS than Betamax. Betamax then died on the cosumer market, while the professional TV-studios continued to use Beatmax for several years. Betamax was a far better technology than VHS.

So, if you want to have the second best technology, you can stay with the Apokiliptikans. If you want the best, go for Camp Herring!

We've got the perfect time-traveling device, HTTT. Proof that it works: This picture we took at the 2006 Burning Man event, where a member from Apokiliptika is trying to find a Smelling Explosive Herring Land Mine which we are going to put inside their camp.

Kinetic IV · Post by **Kinetic IV** » Mon Jan 23, 2006 11:43 pm

Sometimes going with the second best product makes sense. Does it get the job done? Is it more cost effective? Can you justify the extra cost of going for the premium product? With Tequila and other things you definitely get what you pay for. As for the HTTT, sure you may have the Lexus version but our Toyota gets us there.

And by not going all out on the time travel technology we have more funding to spend on other cool stuff....like our new deep level powerstation and space operations complex! Our new deep level nuclear powerstation was carefully constructed under a shield of 200 ft thick Gasconade dolomite and that's not including the reactor vessel's protection. (We're also working on a PebbleBed reactor that shows great promise.) Since we're not sure if the Apokiliptika Doomstar is simply an observation post or an orbiting weapons station we took no chances with construction. Good luck finding it.

Back to the HTTT technology it's only as good as the information provided. Sure you can go back and forth in time...but if you don't know what you're looking for you can't work your influence into the right sequence of events to change anything. So while your transporter is impressive, without good intel to guide you....you can't do jack about nothin. Also remember Newton's Third Law...you tinker with time too much and the reactions may come back to bite you.

....IIRC, there was another group of folks with some silly ideas about 65 years ago that thought having the best technology was the way to go - right up until some other folks with the second best technology kicked their behinds (of course they had 5x as much of it, but sheer numbers can trump better technology, just like happened to Betamax and VHS)

You have the future Herringfolk to draw on as well as your current Herringfolk to draw on, so this effectively doubles your numbers. Of course, if you remove the Herringfolk from the past, you endanger splitting a timeline and perhaps never finging out about BM at all (due to your grandfather dying in a tragic salting accident in the Herring factories). So you cannot get to the magical 5x point, where kuality gives way to kaos (known as the "K" point, named after it's discoveror, our beloved Kernul Killbuck, who also invented the oven mit).

The immense numbers of the Apokiliptika movement ensures it's survival. With fallout shelters, orbital death-ray stations, defcon, and enough kannon fodder to stop the earth from rotating if they all jumped up at the same time, no amount of death and destruction can stop it. Then there are the Secret Agents (infiltrating near you today!) and Uber-Allies & Affiliates, and other things I am not cleared for.

Without kritical mass, the fishy mass that represents your Herring movement will inevitably begin to rot and decay. But even as it begins to exude a foul stench, another parallel yet competing process will begin. The salty earth and dry air will begin to parch and dessicate this school of fishes. Even the great Kernul cannot say for sure which process will dominate; Decay or Dessication. Either way, your revolting revolution will be finished. Doomed before it even began by it's very nature.

In summary, you are all fucking doomed, and your only recourse is to submit immediately to the nearest containment center pending a full (and thorough!) interrogation. Resistance is futile, assimilation assured.

Oh, yeah, BTW - everyone knows that Apokiliptikan Bomb Techs wear headphones over which the soothing voice of the Interrogation squad constantly reminds them of their fate should they fail in their appointed duties - they are capable of hearing nothing else, not even a bomb exploding nearby (and certainly not a mere paper bag...)

The Uncanny Alliance weapons lab is pleased to announce the latest addition to our arsenal...in partnership with Metal Storm industries of Australia.

Welcome to the next generation of weaponry....and a great Anti-Herring defense system.

Next month a new high-explosive munition will be fired in Singapore and then tested again by the Uncanny Alliance weapons lab, heralding what may be a sea change in weaponry: a family of guns that can fire at speeds of up to 240,000 rounds per minute, albeit in short bursts.

A Metal Storm gun of any size from a 9mm handgun up to a machine gun size or a grenade launcher has no moving parts other than the bullets or munition inside the barrel. Rather than chambering a single slug for each shot - very quickly in the case of machine guns the bullets come pre-stacked inside the barrel and can be shot all at once, or one at a time, as the shooter decides through the electronic controls.

Because there are no moving parts, the weapon is less likely to jam, and will presumably need less maintenance.

Lashing many barrels together dramatically increases the number of rounds fired per second. Once fired, however, each spent barrel has to be reloaded.

And the impact of this is nearly mind-boggling:
Its 40mm answer to the MK19 - the current automatic grenade launcher in use by the U.S. military and other lesser forces - chambers up to 15 rounds in the barrel at once. They can be squeezed off one at a time or fired almost simultaneously. According to the company, this gives the Metal Storm gun 4,000 times the rounds-on-target capability of the MK19, which has a rapid fire rate of 60 rounds per second.

Starting in 2006 the company will demonstrate its prototypes with applicability that is especially likely to interest the Uncanny Alliance. The grenade launching weapon system can be mounted on an unmanned ground combat vehicle, an unmanned aerial vehicle, and might be used as a defense against rocket-propelled grenades and mortars.

Metal Storm's speed allows it to lay down a blinding wall of slugs that can intercept and pulverize incoming enemy fire, according to company CEO David Smith. As long as the grenade or mortar is fired from outside a range of about 50 meters or 162.5 feet and a Doppler radar is in use, a Metal Storm system could be an effective defense, he told UPI.

Closer than that and there is just not time to react.

"But if you are from 50 meters and beyond, if everything can work fast enough and with the radar there is enough time mathematically" to shoot down incoming fire, Smith said.

It points out the fact that people tend to think that everything that can be of use has already been invented. In fact, technology is work in progress...
NOTICE: 40 prototypes are installed and are fully functional for base and reactor complex defense. We call it the anti-stench system....there's nothing like blocking incoming herring with a high speed wall of lead, it keeps the rotting stench a safe distance from our air intakes.

FYI
I`ve seen tests of this technology on video and it is very impressive.
I understand a few prototypes are already bolted to various warships to stave off attacks like the one on the USS Cole in Yemen.

Nice Work K4.

Going on a tangent for a second....if anyone knows what Puff the Magic Dragon is...the C-130 with all the cannons onboard, imagine it upgraded with the Metal Storm system. Puff was already devastating before...but with the upgrade....wow.

Oh no, variable-opacity uniforms will bewilder the Camp Herring soldiers' mind - with the possibility of revealing every camp secret. We will have to develop a mind controlled blackout eyeball implant. These must be mandatory for all CA personnel.

Seems like you KA people are in the productive mood today. Guess it's time to visit the Camp Herring Scientific Tool Shed... I'll be right back...

Remember, the Uncanny Alliance is NOT affiliated in any way, shape, or form with Kamp Apokiliptika. We're just as doomed as you are so our take on it is if you're going to go out you might as well enjoy the ride and make it interesting.

Back to that last comment here's a secret spy photograph of the Camp Herring Scientific Tool Shed. It's actually much smaller and the quality of the tools coming out is...well you'll figure it out.

Introducing the Camp Herring Ultimate ForceField Defence System. (the U-Field)

Master of all defences! Powered by gravitational field herrings bred in a secret environment.

No bullets or explosives can stop us now! Hahaha [raving mad laughter].

Oh thank you. A forcefield! Excuse me a second, let me setup these special antennas right here, put in those ground taps, now, let's tune this thing in and voila! We have Superscalar weapons systems powered by your Herring Forcefield! Now when we flip this switch we're going to drain your energy sources dry.

Next idea?

Well, I can nuke you, bomb you, shoot you and stuff, but that just isn't enough for me anymore. What can I say.. I'm just delusionary, crazy, mad..

KA really bought it though. They'r heading home and back under ground. The war is over (at least for me).

This is NOT reality!

Kinetic IV · Post by **Kinetic IV** » Tue Jan 24, 2006 2:14 pm

Good enemies are so hard to come by these days. Perhaps they'll regroup and try again.

That was fun though to come up with good counterweapons. Who says R&D and testing is boring?
