Oh dear Gods of Blue Cheese Backlogs, what have I done to deserve this... this... punishment...
...not being home, I guess Hey everyone. Just wanted to say hi. Its frustrating that this thread moves so fast and I dont have enough time to read and comment about everything. And for the next week I'll have even less time, as internet will not be free. I'll probably be able to write more of my fanfic, though, so expect an update soon. (I hope) Anyway, the list is updated. I really need to fix Glock Heckler's links, as LoweGear *stares* is driving me crazy with all those story chapters. j/k Lowe @USB500 I'll be waiting for the links to your blog's Wind Talkers' posts before adding them to the list. @Aaron008R I read somewhere back there that you had two new characters coming soon... where are they?? I kid, I kid. Take your time. Well, see you all later. |

I have a few random speculations that I think need to be fact-checked, but I'm of the impression that for most of these, there really isn't any canon information. So I'm throwing these out to you people in the hopes that someone might spot a hole in it somewhere.
Also, if anyone has further insights or alterations about these thoughts (especially if you've thought of the same things before), feel free to chime in. Everything in here is purely my guesswork, and so I'm entirely willing to change or scrap as required. I don't really have time to prettify these with a fiction frame, so you get the unadulterated versions. Spoiler:
Next time, governance and culture. If I get around to them. (Exactly what is the Church a church of? What god(s) does it worship, and does it have a holy scripture? How many followers does it have, and does it evangelize?) EDIT: When I say "TSAB tech level", I'm using it as a shorthand for "the current tech level for the Nanohaverse during the time of the series". I'm aware that the TSAB may not be the sole innovators of the tech they use. EDIT THE SECOND: This is all an effort to guess what is canon enough for writing; in other words, I'm going to be using this in the assumption that it does not contradict canon. If anyone else has a different (even contrary) interpretation, please mention it, so we can compare notes. If nothing else, it'll help if I randomly choose to feature any of your characters in random fillers, while using these assumptions. Last edited by dkellis; 2007-06-08 at 20:52. |

Yes, Gravia has the reputation for being Nanoha Universe' breeding ground for Super Robots pilots. Which means..... SW: Sitting Dragon!

- Scaglietti is using what looks like Jewel Seeds, or at least Jewel Seed facsimiles in the Drones. Jewel Seeds were, ten years prior to StrikerS, definitely Lost Logia. (They were also sealable, perhaps only by Raising Heart and Bardiche, but sealable nonetheless. Significant?) One wonders where he gets his equipment; it's not like he can Fedex them or something, and if he stole them, then they must have been used somewhere else first. - Rein Zwei gets maintenance in episode 10. Maintenance implies maintenance equipment and procedures. Rein Zwei was part of the Book of Darkness, which was quite firmly stated to be Lost Logia. (In fact, if I remember correctly, it was Lost Logia that came from this current civilization, when the Book of the Night Sky, a generic book of spells, became sentient.) EDIT: Actually, never mind, I misremembered. - Raising Heart's origins are fairly vague, but I've been told (several times) that RH was "dug up" by the Scrya clan during an excavation. This implies that it is a Lost Logia of some sort, or at least an artefact. And yet it can be easily interfaced with TSAB systems as well as any other Device. So basically, you may be correct; Lost Logia are not completely understood, but are understood enough to be used by certain specialized people, rather than the common populace. |

The only information about Lost Logia I've heard of so far is that they all seem to have come from the lost civilization of Al Hazard. |

The Book of Darkness was indeed sentient from the beginning (or at least implied to be so) as the "Tome of the Night Sky", and was meant to "travel all over the universe with its master collecting and studying spells" (episode 8 of A's), and went evil because one of the "later masters" altered its program for destruction. So yeah, I misremembered. As for Rein Zwei, I was more contemplating about how a new creation at least based off of Rein the first managed to have a maintenance setup for her, but I suppose a lot can happen in ten (or eight) years. EDIT: I just realized that "civilization of X" is not equal to "World X". However, I can't find anything through skimming episodes about Al Hazard spanning more than one world and having its existence confirmed, if only through the existence of Lost Logias; do you have a source? |

2. Noted. That's for the later bit. I'm only showing the turnaround after Arnie's first confused boot-up which was posted earlier. 3. Quote for truth. But if he had to decide between leaping into battle with "this small fry" which he could deal with later, and a "greater threat", Kha's jump in, "Guardian Angel" shield up, bark a few lines at Serge as he channels a warp spell to get the Aces to safety. But as the saying goes, "A Velka blade never forgets." Quote:

I agree with it totally, so I'll just add this on: I've speculated that the term Lost Logia came from the first "advanced" ancient civilisation the MC discovered, the Logi. They might have existed on MC, and as they pushed deeper into voidspace, they found more and more artefacts left by this grand race, and hence these items became known as Lost Logia. However, as time passed, more artefacts from other civilizations began showing up, and this term, being culturally ingrained, was expanded to include these items from the other races. I'm drawing parallels from several naming habits from Terran science, most notably human anatomy, which one body part could have up to 3 names depending on which nomenclature system was used. Re: Infinite Library That's a surprise. I never thought of the IL as stabilized voidspace, just a very very long automatic structure that no one bothered to sort, but considering how it seems to loop on and on, it might. This opens up opportunities for the Library to connect to other libraries in other universes, namely Library Island. (Yes the Library Exploration Club is soooo tempting ) Taking this idea to be true, a well placed terrorist attack on the Library will definitely have repercussions throughout Ordered Space. This is the idea your words and my extensions have given me. Re: Travel Sounds quite like navigational Psykers ne? Not to mention such thoughts require a heckload of mana to perform, so timeships with warp drives using this principle were developed to make interdimensional travel more efficient. This meant that ships below a certain class were too small to efficiently house these drives, and hence anything below a frigate is not transdimensional. As much as I'd like Firehawk to equate a fighter from Star Wars, being able to fly from planet to planet on its own, canon shows that its not possible. Just my pseudo-scientifica $0.02 as usual.

2. Coincidentally, it could've been something from the time he spent at Fuyuki City as Archer during an alternative timeline of FSN, and this isn't quite the forum to elab on. RE: 4komas I didn't get the first one. The second one was better, certainly believable. (Wonder how much of this does Kha know because of the Whispers? ) The 3rd one was waiting to happen! Now the only problem seems to be that Lutecia is not the one defecting to Riot 6 mid-season, its that unidentified orange haired Arisa-class loli. The Arthur/Lancelot got me in stitches! It's really like what it would've been if it was a 4koma. I certainly can imagine it in my mind Cloud and Sephie in a desert, talking, then... OMAKE! wahahahahaha...

You don't have to worry of it, though. It's just one of the random moments with Azali (he's quite notorious for having the habit to appear beside people without warning). Imagine having a date with someone only to find yourself... ambushed by Azali who then says "Oh, snap!" Quote:

Yes, I know that the Nanohaverse may not be using actual Greek. But still, it's a fascinating train of thought, especially when coupled with the archaeology and information-sorting of the Scryas. (If it isn't obvious by now, I'm very interested in fictional accounts and speculations regarding information and the handling thereof, with a side of cryptography. The Infinite Library portion of the Nanohaverse is just full of potential.) Quote:
Having said that, the Infinite Library speculations are central to my stories, which will focus quite a bit on the structure of the IL and the information within it. I'm already taking major liberties in trying to determine who has access rights and how access is granted (both in the popular security-type sense and the more literal "where's the door?" sense), and I need to have as few contradictions with canon as possible, as well as anything that I haven't thought about yet cleared up as soon as possible. And yes, I've been toying with the idea of a directed attack on the IL or its maintained spells. This would cause a lot of havoc if effective, possibly enough to disrupt a lot of plot threads, and I'd reason that it will not be anywhere near easy to do, since I'm sure the TSAB has enough clear thinkers to realize that the IL should be guarded like the incredibly precious and dangerous resource it is. It's the tension between wanting an open source of information to all, and wanting security. I figure that there will be several layers of redundancy and backup for the systems, and disaster may happen if an attack goes through enough of them. Of course, maybe I'm all wrong anyway, and this is not how the IL works. Quote:
I get the feeling that the TSAB space navy more or less serve as mobile command posts, attached to Very Big Guns. EDIT: Anyone want to post their own speculations? I'm especially interested in seeing the ones for the Belka. Specifically, what the religion of the Church entails. EDIT THE SECOND: Random thought: Infinite Library Space is Virtual Space. Run with it. |
