Good question: Where do you want to experiment? There is a laboratory.
"So why don't you just get all of us to take turns coming at you in pairs or threes?"

If that seems to be the most appropertate place then yeah, we'll goto the lab.
"Well, that would seem to be the plan...at a more advanced stage. So, you'd be my first recruit."

"Well, far be it from me to deny a livefire test. Just be prepared for contingencies, kay?"
Amdalus begins to design the materials needed in the lab's replicator. Tyrant bobs by and says, "My, are we doing an experiment?"

Evan to Laura "Of course, shall we? or will you need time to prepare?"
Evan nods at Tyrant "Indeed we are, I'm attempt to emulate your evasive tactics by letting attacks roll off me via use of geometry and trajectory, and energy dispersal."

Laura smiles and picks up her mysterious black box of weaponry. "Nope."
"Ah. Learning abilities through experimentation. Laudable indeed. Now, as I'm sure Amdalus is already doing, you must first enumerate your variables so you can measure them, then control for them, then have a good method to measure changes."

The split Evan's walk toward each other and speak symotaniously to tyrant then fuse together to make one. "Of course, weather we are doing such things to a degree require is enough story. I am in the process of bring others into this experiment so we may add additional variables." Evan smiles at Laura. "May I ask, because I don't know the fendimental processes of created corrupt geometry, were might I learn a bit more, so I can gain some solid ground to base some experimentations on."

"Adding more variables is a recipe for disaster. And what you call Corrupt Geometry is simply the evocation of a pure geometric form in this reality. I can do it because of my particular combination of skills and first universe powers. The primary thing for you is to conjure and control it."

Evan smiles "Is see, while you are here, and I understand you are busy, but we are still setting things up, would you be willing to walk me through the steps?"

"Well, there is a difference between the idealized experiment and the practical experiment, but the first thing you need is a testable objective or hypothesis. In this case...?"

"Why are you doing this?"

"Because I must inorder to survive." Evan looks back to see how the preporations are proceeding

"Well, that is a fallacious argument in that you could certainly do other things to survive such as not be at the conflict in the first place, rely more heavily on allies or find other ways of protecting yourself. But I mean what is your goal or intention? You wish to increase survival, yet we can't measure how many times you will be destroyed by a particular effect."

Evan sighs "Look, I just want to be able to do what you can do, Ive whitnessed greatness from my friends and family in the past, and I know the fight thats coming will be a memorable one." Evan's eyes look a bit sunken, and ringed as if he were tired. "Im going to have to kill Jack, and Nirvana........" He frowns and sighs again "He's going to ask Itek for Jessica, he's going to rub her in my face...." He smiles "My goal is to obtain all the skills you have so I may apply them and be your prodigy. What powers I have now will not be enough to combat there excelsior powers." he checks on how much longer it'll take before the test can begin. "Hey, would corrupt geometry have broken that cage they had me in?"

"That is an emotional or value end and not something that can be tested. If you wish to experiment, you have to move beyond those things to the objective. Itek does not enslave those who she works with: she has more dignity than that. And your next goal, while objectively verifiable, is not testable or reachable in any experiment. It may or may not have given the variables. Listen! If you wish to be my prodigy, though that is not the way it operates with me, you must understand the principles of logic, science, epistemology... So: This experiment. Walk me through what you are doing. I am your teacher's assistant and you are a professor constructing an experiment. Explain."

ooc: I have no idea what and or how corrupt geometry works, your asking me to explain the color blue, when im a blind man dude..

OOG: He meant the damage-reduction experiment. Not Corrupt Geometry. Look at the context.

Well shit son!
Evan stops to think then says "Well, I suppose a good logical reason on WHY im doing this, is it's a more efficient way to evade attacks, or it would seem to be, also it couldn't hurt to add it to my list of defense tactics. Now where to start....We are currently using a bead armor suit to measure the damage that im taking and the damage thats rolling off me by the amount of beads being destoried...."

Post by Frederic Bourgault-Christie on Mar 16, 2006 2:54:48 GMT -5
"Excellent! Now, does this not only measure damage that the beads absorb? Will the beads absorb your pain, or curses, or...? Or are you willing to begin with physical damage only?"

Evan smiles "Well I'd like to do things one step at a time, if we make things more complicated we may not get the most accerate of readings, also I personally do not know what Amdulas is planning on that level, as far I as I know it only tracks physical damage."

"I agree! You must simplify. But you must also be cognizant of what your test is actually doing. Now you have a methodology for determining damage: How will you make sure that what you are doing works and how will you measure each change?" Amdalus says, "It will track a variety of damages, but it can't represent non-damaging effects."

Evan plays with his goatee for a moment "Im not sure yet, I suppose I can keep each experiment seperate from eachother so I can simply compile the information."

"Yes, but if each experiment has confounded variables, you are adding many zeroes and seeking a positive sum."

Evan nods "Indeed, what would you suggest."

Post by Frederic Bourgault-Christie on Mar 17, 2006 10:44:20 GMT -5
"Well, simply put, you will need to keep everything constant aside from the one variable you plan on measuring. Do one experiment where you see the constant rate of damage without any alterations, then only do one thing in turn."

Amdalus says, "I sure as hell hope you can, because otherwise our data is corrupted. I think we should expose you for a second, monitor, then you do one distinct thing, like dodge or shield or what not. Then once we have data on each individual thing we can look at the most effective permutations."

Evan smirks "Amd, mind if she proforms the damage and you record the results?"
