Inventions Made by the 16's Abilities

== Disambiguation ==
Shortly before the "War of Silence" that follows the discovery of all 16 members with special abilities, the auras of each of the 16 are captured and used to manufacture items that replicate the abilities held by each of the 16, to a lesser extent. The inventions produced from the scientific research are not as effective nor equal in quality to the abilities, but they can be used by anyone. Thomas Manns does a similar thing when he creates staffs for his followers to enact judgment on others; however, his staffs are more effective than what scientists were able to create.
== Actions by Nation ==
Several of the leading scientific nations used the abilities to create their own weapons, in a race mirroring the nuclear arms race of the late 20th century. China, Russia, Iraq, Iran, the United Kindom, Germany, South Africa, Denmark, Scotland, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Egypt, South and North Korea, and Israel were the main nations to participate, along with other lesser forces. The main forces consisted of a few Europeon nations as well at North America, Russia, China, India, and Iraq. The culmination of the War of Silence was held along side a cold war, holding each nation in a tug-of-war between working against a greater threat, and holding each other at arm's length.
The following are major breakthroughs in scientific research, and any relevant resulting inventions, listed in order by date:
Iran, 2022 - After capturing and offering a safe place to live for Aldorlian, the Iran government sought to interrogate Aldorlian and see if they could gather some information on how he used his abilities. An in-depth scanning and reconstruction of Aldorlian's eye (done by outsources German biologists), determined the presence of a certain amino acid that isn't seen anywhere is the human body, or in fact elsewhere on planet earth. However, after further research, the Iran government was able to replicate the inner-working of Aldorlian's eye, even without really understanding how it works.
Supposedly no harm was done to Aldorlian. Iran scientists were able to make a large corded headset that can see different parts of the world and even out in space. This was done by using a spectrometer to separate the light waves coming into the apparatus and using specific combinations of certain light frequencies to trigger a response from the device--and so placing a certain image on the screen of the headset to be seen by the user. The scientists still have no idea how this operates.
United States, 2022 - Deeper understanding of neural wave functions by observing Thames Hargood. Led to psychological breakthroughs in mental illness, and treatment of schizophrenia (73% success rate, national average), depression, and other forms of psychological illnesses.
China, 2022 - Information used from study of Thames to create Infrascape, a neurowave generator that can allow the user to experience a hallucination that is near identical to reality.
Russia 2022 - Deconstructing a plant grown by Stacey Monners, Russia created what they called an "anabolic accelerator" in test documents, which was an apparatus that was able to speed up the growth of most organisms it was used on, plants or otherwise. It was later consumerized and sold as a gadget that was banned in the USA, but sold in black markets, called Ubergrow. 
United States, 2024 - Using the information Russia gathered, and their own tests, the United States was able to build a machine that emits charged ions in certain frequencies which were effective in not only growing tissue as the "anabolic accelerator" accomplished, but also increased the effectiveness of many physiological functions in various organisms to the extent of achieving 150% efficiency in some cases, and working as a tool to cure a variety of diseases. Without scientific explanation as to why, users who utilized the machine with the intent of "love" (in this case, "for the reason of helping someone or something they cared for or were attached to) were able to effect better results: with 100% efficiency of the desired subject being reached 71% of the time, over 46% with a non-love motive, and the farthest reaching efficiency reaching 199.8%, vs 150% efficiency reached with non-love motives. The leading theory is that the brain sends electromagnetic waves to the device which attracts or repels certain electrons, further aligning the subject with an "optimal energy homeostasis." Due to the far reaching effects of this tool, such as eliminating most of the health industry, it was classified and put under wraps, similar to cases such as "MK Ultra" and "The Manhattan Project."
United States, 2024 - Thomas Manns was incarcerated by the FBI in 2024, and was illegally tortured and put under testing. The resulting information resulted in "The Reaper's Notice," so called "Notice" (as opposed to, for example, project, initiative, or other common nomenclature) because the lead scientists evaluating the data joked that the results they found were simply caused by fate--that the Grim Reaper himself were handing them this information about the universe to them willingly. The results they came to were very profound, being likened to the discovery of a round earth or gravity. Simply put, they discovered that "quarks," particles that make up neutrons, electrons, and other atomic particles, are aligned in such as way that, when using a very complicated equation with many variable results (called "The Winchester-Poole" Equation), one can predict the life span of an atomic particle within a range of 2 years, 69% of the time. Basically, when stuff dies. They also discovered that the effect which Thomas had on individuals lead to a stronger or lesser attraction between quarks, although scientists don't know what causes this. Further, this weakening or strengthening of attraction is attributed string theory, i.e. a butterfly effect. Profoundly, though, the quarks and atoms in question are not directly effected by Thomas' actions, but are apart of a butterfly effect which is began from many, many previous instances down the line. Scientists were not able to track the origin of any of Thomas' actions while incarcerated, nor are they aware how Thomas can effect instances that seem completely separate form him in every known dimension. It has been theorized by theoretical physicists that, since time is only one plane of existence, Thomas can basically effect something in the present, and a "pulse" is sent backwards through time to the initial object by each object which is connected in the relevant butterfly effect, signaling that initiator of the butterfly effect to start said effect at the time which would be required to affect all connected objects, in such as way that the subject in question has "judgement" acted upon them in the present time. To picture it, imagine that Thomas was in the United States, speaking to someone in China via a wired telephone. Then imagine that when we starts speaking time stops. The audio goes through the various switches and cables to reach the person in China. Then the person in China says something, which goes back to Thomas, and he hears what is said, and then time starts again. The words Thomas received are like the judgement he enacts on his subjects. It has also been theorized that the same process occurs when he removes judgement from something or someone, but instead of the origin of the butterfly effect initiating the event, it never does; theoretically, it is an event that would happen at some point anyway, but just not at that time. Of course, these theories have led to entire studies of the universe, categorically grouped as Poolenomics (also called "Moral Causality Theory"). Most sub studies within this group are metaphysical in nature, and generally have to do with evaluating how the universe is connected by intentions of intelligent beings, or has preset routes of action that are effected by certain choices of intelligent beings, based on a higher power's moral judgement. The United States did not do anything with this data until the following year.
United States, 2025 - Using data from "The Reaper's Notice," as well as further study, scientists were able to create an apparatus called W-GACA, pronounced double-U gahcuh ("What Goes Around Come Around"), two times bigger than the largest particle accelerator at the time, which could, in the words of the scientists, "bring just desserts" to the subject in question 27.9% of the time. This was concluded after tests on tens of thousands of case subjects, most of them illegally obtained. Many of the case subjects were criminals from other countries, slaves, and war criminals. The majority of subjects received a "just desserts" effect within a week of being acted on by W-GACA. It can be debated as to whether specific occurrences relating to the test subjects could or should be classified as relating to their actions, each "just desserts" effect was generally agreed upon by the scientists as what would be appropriate judgement, morally speaking, and many times were within the expected bounds of what one would expect to occur without any divine or non-human intervention. Regardless, the effectiveness of W-GACA seemed quite clear. For example, one subject was convicted of killing his entire family. Although the United States government had no intentions putting him through the justice system, and even though it was well known among those involved that his home nation's government had absolutely no idea where he was at the time, a convoy was sent directly to his location from his home nation. This convoy called him out by name to the agents who were stationed at his location, and the United States was able to make a deal with the home nation even though they had smuggled him out of the country illegally. The subject was tried and put to death less than a week later. Similar instances happened a recorded seven other times with seven separate nations--something extremely unlikely.
== The Gems Rings Project ==
[Possible]
In 2024, an organization of scientists funded by two groups, the Kaycee's Gems' LLC and The Sanderson Collective were able to initiate research into the nature of the auras associated with the 16 individuals that the FBI has named "the 16." The research allowed the scientists to transfer the metaphysical properties of the auras into certain elements at a molecular level. For the purpose of simplicity, they were basically able to change the frequency at which the quarks of certain atoms vibrate to allow the metaphysical transference of the essence associated with whatever ability is in question.
Any object, solid, liquid, gas, or plasma, can be altered to acquire any property, but the scientists found it easiest to use minerals, as well as rocks and stones. Kaycee's Gems used the information to manufacture three specific stones initially, and then a last one a few months later. They were as follows: One sapphire, one quartz stone, one tourmaline, and one diamond. Each of the four precious stones were acquired by Yana Popov of Kyiv, Visenya Goubelov of St. Petersburg, Alysa Peters of Redmond, and Kaycee Smith of Jamestown. The stones were then placed into rings and worn by each person as they saw fit. The metaphysical abilities of each gemstone within the ring were as follows (note: each of the following descriptions are based on the FBI nomenclature surrounding the metaphysical abilities connected to the effects in question):
The sapphire possessed the "Mouth of God" trait in 70% of its atoms, and the "Heart of God" trait in the remaining 30%. Over time of use, this was speculated to increase intentional words spoken by the wearer to have a 7% chance of happening, with the more unlikely and unfeasible (according to modern physics) "requests" to have a 3% chance of happening. Also, it was speculated that intentional actions or words spoken by the user intended to heal or aid others either physically, mentally, or conceptually (i.e., wanting to help to achieve an end that would seem to help someone, such as giving them money to help to pay a bill) had a 2-5% stronger effect toward achieving the desired result that would normally be expected. 
Shortly after, a quantity of over fifty thousand stones were produced, tested and confirmed to have fewer metaphysical properties than the initial four. These were sold, and distributed, via Kaycee's Gems. Shortly after, the stock price of his company quadrupled, rising from $15 per share on the NYSI to $60 in less than two hours.
Government officials immediately dispatched forces to stop the distribution of said rings. They were initially unsuccessful, and the attempted raid and assault on the primary "aura refixation plants," resulted to a technological malfunction that breeched the reactors, and resulted in the aura radiation disaster of 2025; obviously this was the "Canadian Aura Radiation Disaster," that affected the drinking water and air quality of hundreds of millions of North Americans. 
A year later in 2026, the raid was successful, commonly called the "Kaycee's Gems' Bust."
