Warning! I may not be online for a long time!

Hopefully this will turn out to be nothing, but I may just loose my BTopenworld account. If this happens, I loose my only way to access the Internet from home (I have ADSL, you see - I don't have a normal modem).

I won't go into the details here. As I said, it'll hopefully blow over.

Personnel : Prof. C. Tonks

Research into the new Space Between Dimensions technology is going well. The data left to me by the unknown entity serves no end of purposes in my search for ultimate technological superiority.

I now make frequent trips to the SBD itself in order to test conditions. I have created a device which, when placed within the SBD, can link together all my technology created since the invention of the Dimensional byPasser. Thus, communications are possible through any medium and on any scale.

Instant transportation has also been on my agenda as of late. It should, theoretically at least, be possible to use the SBD to access a pan-Universal existence state, similar to the Alpha Wavelength used for teleportation in this Universe. If this were indeed possible, I could create a device to shift matter or anything else into this state, and move them to any part of the Omniverse I wish. Shields will be no problem. Teleportation blockers will trouble me no more!

One thing I have finished working on, however, is the pan-Universal shield, the only thing that could block my theorised travel device. Powered directly from the unlimited energy resources of the SBD, this shield spans the entire Omniverse, fixed on the relative point in space (or its equivalent) in each Universe. Infinite energy means no penetration, and infinite Universes means no tampering with time, space or otherwise.

Everything still needs a little touching up, but I'm confident that by the end of the year, I will be able to do anything I like in any Universe.

I Am Goo!!

It's true!

It should be well known that I was once thought to have arthritis. However, this matter has been cleared up at last, and in actuality I have something called 'metachromatosis'.

Now then, the good d'Elaphant has done a little bit of work into this, and came up with the following meanings:

meta = beyond
chroma = blend of hue and saturation
osis = abnormal condition, or increase

Taking this into account, having metachromatosis means that I have increased beyong normal hue and saturation levels.

To put that in other words, I'm goo! smiley - biggrin

But fiddlesticks, I use Alabaster! smiley - yikes

Space Station Log : 150601ET [Transmitted]

Date : 15th of July 2001, 22:00, Earth Time
Personnel : Prof. C. Tonks
Position : In orbit around San Beta planet

The GalaGroup Elections have just finished, and the counting's been done. Well, what should I say? I'm in again! smiley - biggrin
The votes formed an enourmous majority for me, though not as much as in the last Elections. This is attributable to the fact that many more planets within the San Beta catchment area have aligned themselves with the Government during this term, adding a number of voters who didn't really know what I'd previously done for the GalaGroup. This meant they'd vote for other candidates for Overseer status.

While I retained my position, many members of the Governmental Committee didn't. My most trusted Head of Trade was replaced by a slightly drunk (or so he appears to me) candidate, and a number of other people have vanished altogether. Some of the people in to replace them are known to me, but a couple aren't, so I'll be getting to know them shortly. Still, all in all a good Election.

I've just been through the main Election Ceremony of being seated at the head of the outdoor Committee Table (though I always use the indoor one for actual work), and am preparing to leave the planet to attend the various other festivities which I'm obliged to visit. I'm sure I'll enjoy most of them (food and drink all round, you bet!), but a number of them are a little... alien for me, being comprised of many a strange custom. Still, there it is, all in the life of a GalaGroup Overseer, eh?

I'll be back around the start of July, as I said.

The Space Station will move back to San Beta now, for the GalaGroup Elections. I am of course running to keep my place as Overseer to the Government, and have no doubts about my winning. That's why I haven't actually been in San Beta for the duration of the Election run-up. Still, I can't avoid it now, as the big day itself is the 15th of June, when the ceremonies will be held.

My new CompliGram - PCT3 - who has been helping with organising my Election campaign will arrive here in a couple of days just to keep my affairs on h2g2 in check. He won't be stopping by to do anything more than leave a calling card or other bookmark though.
As the Space Station itself will not be here, he will reside inside the Ministry for Science & Technology complex within the space-rift, and all communications from me (though there won't be many) will be received through there.

I myself will return around the start of July, after all legalities have been finished over at Governmental House.

Until then, I bid you farewell.
