SECRET
SOCIETIES FOURTH REICH - The Baron
Heinrich Richtohofen, John
Storm and Hal,
the AI onboard the Elizabeth
Swann, agree that Cleopatra is entombed underwater in
her former Palace at Alexandria.
In this
section Billy (the Kid)
Bates, hosts an auction where
potential bidders witness a demonstration of the worlds'
fastest and smallest nano computer, the CyberCore
Genetica™ from
NanoComm™. It is several million
times smaller than military grade, classical, computer
server networks, and several billion times faster - while using less than 1% percent of the energy
needed to make
complex calculations conventionally.
Dan
and John
figure out that the
computer wristwatch can connect directly to the human brain,
wirelessly, via a BioCore™
microchip, a special flexible interface that is fixed to the occipital
lobe via biological tendrils that, in time, grow into the
brain. The alternative is a special
headset that reads and distorts human synapse, thought
transmissions. Though, that is less reliable. The BioCore™
is reliable and gets faster as the human subject learns how
to use it - simply by thinking. This technology was invented
by German and Italian scientists while working for Baron
Heinrich Richtofen.

OMEGA 1600 TC1 TIME COMPUTER LED 1973
- Omega "Time Computer I" aka TC1 is the first LED watch ever available for sales in Europe.
In our story, Will
Bates was gifted this classic timepiece from his father, when he was a
child. The digital display so fascinated him, that when the electronic
module failed, he thought to use the casing for his super-computer masterpiece.
When Hal
gets hooked up to this device, the AI becomes self aware, but unlike 'Skynet,'
is a human-friendly member of the Elizabeth Swann crew.
BIOCORE
- Is the most advanced biological human interface on the planet. The device
allows a person to communicate with suitably adapted super
computers, just by thinking commands. The dream of telepathy
has finally come true. But, the technology is top secret,
and light years away from the marketplace. John Storm,
Cleopatra and Dan Hawk, deem this tech too dangerous.
Especially, if the military got hold of it, and corrupt
governments, looking to further financially enslave their
workforce.
