Beta-1

The first Instance in the **Beta Branch**. Common nicknames include: "The Battlefield", and "The Scrap"

Danger: Deadly

## Description

Instance **Beta-1** is a large Time Overlap in which different battles from across history have merged together into one landscape. The Temporal Shadows of the soldiers, civilians, and any other people involved in the battles can be seen; however bullets, explosives, shells, and any other ordinance that were used in the battles transfer over in full physical state. The same applies to vehicles such as tanks. This makes the instance generally extremely dangerous to cross, however it is also an invaluable source of various weapons and technology, with the quieter sections of the Instance (temporary ceasefires, or in some cases anomalous areas where there is only the "frozen in time" aftermath of a battle) continually scavenged for resources.

The transitions between the terrain of different battles or points in time are generally jarring, with cutoff mountains becoming unnatural cliffs that suddenly give way to lowlands or oceans. Theoretically, the instance is finite, as there is not an infinite number of battles to construct it; however a cutoff point has not yet been discovered.

## Inhabitance

### Units

There are no known native Units to **Beta-1**, however scavengers have often come across dangerous Units that disrupt their operations.

* Crow Lord
* Hopper
* Snail
* Mouse
* Shapeshifting Cat
* Suit

### Groups

Some groups have successfully established scavenging outposts in the safer regions of the Instance. One group in particular however, has successfully established themselves in seas of **Beta-1**.

* Cartographers Guild
* Integrationist Church
* Seafarers Coalition
Shapeshifting Cat

The Shapeshifting Cat is a High Level Unit found in various Instances.

## Description

Believed to be feline animals from the real world that were transported into the Tanglements. They have acquired the ability to change their physical appearance. This ability can vary greatly between Shapeshifting Cats, ranging from simple camoflague all the way to taking on human forms and mimicking speech.

### Behaviour

Shapeshifting Cats are generally passive, and often friendly. In rare cases they have even been tamed. The cats possessing more capable shapeshifting abilities however, are more often aggressive and have beeen known to have a particular taste for human meat.
Victoropunk

Victoropunk, often referred to as "Neo-Victorian" or "Victorian Retro", is an aesthetic movement that was created as a response to The Zalim Plague and consequently The Great Decline. It combines the artistic aesthetics of the Victorian era, the musical influences of Punk and Disco, and is considerably more maximalist as opposed to previous aesthetic periods. This also brought about a revival in romanticism, but especially noted in cinema.

## Victoropunk in Architecture

During the Zalim pandemic, numerous destination cities were situated in locations with old architecture, such as Bordeaux and Prague. Many American refugees had to seek shelter in these locations in order to survive, continually exposing them to architectural works which did not reflect their home. This in turn surged the popularity for "estate-style" homes reminiscent of English estates. But in the modern era, these buildings would clash in contrast with glass skyscrapers, jumbotron screens, and holographic advertisements in a contrasting, yet complimentary, way. In Seaoko, Washington, the burough of Vashon is sometimes referred to as the 'Victorian Quarter', due to the heavy use of Victorian and European style architecture.
Tanglements Wiki

**Welcome to the Tanglements Wiki!**
*Reality is a simulation, and its creators are dead.*

This is the conclusion many of the adventurers of the Tanglements have come to. In these forgotten sections of reality, the code of the simulation attempts to outcast any errors in its workings, maintaining the illusion of a stable existence. With the apparent death of the creators however, people have begun to find themselves glitched into the Tanglements.

The Tanglements is a multilayered group of dimensions in which perception is your enemy and everything is unpredictable. See Tanglements Theory for more info.

Suit

Suits are a Mid Level Unit native to the Alpha-1 Instance, and of unknown origin.

## Description

Suits are elusive Units that appear to be sentient manifestations of various formal wear. Occassionally they can be seen with hats, or items such as umbrellas. They have never been observed to have a physical body, and when seemingly 'killed' they fall to the floor as a pile of clothes that disintigrates within a few hours.

### Behaviour

Suits have often been described as the 'faeries' of the Tanglements, a comparison first observed in a Precursor text. They will often appear to lone travellers or people who have recently been transported to the Tanglements and will either guide them to a safer location (sometimes through inducing an Instance Hop) or will present them with something of use.

This however is a generalisation, and the behaviour of Suits can vary greatly. Different variations of Suits will take vastly different approaches to humans and other Units or Flora.

### Identified Variations

* Common Suit - Black or Grey garments, observant or helpful.
* White Suit - White garments, sometimes with red, blue, or black stripes. Purely observant.
* Red Dress - Ranging from a vibrant pink to deep crimson in colour, with darker colours often helpful and light colours malicient in nature.
* Blue Suit / Blue Dress - Purely helpful, have been observed to be immune to all known forms of harm, however Blue Suit remains have formerly been found.
* Yellow Suit - Will chase down a target and perform a forced Instance Hop on them.
Alpha-1

The first Instance in the **Alpha Branch**. Common nicknames include: "The Alphaways", "The City", and "The Streets".

Danger: Safe - Deadly (Dependant on location)

## Description

**Alpha-1** is best described as a post-apocalyptic cityscape. It constists mostly of dense streets and alleyways, it is presumed to be infinite and has been entirely observed as euclidean in nature. There are however, many barriers that have prevented the greater exploration of the Instance (listed later in the article). Time Overlaps have also been widely observed different sections of the city having originated from different points in time.

## Inhabitance

### Units

The Instance has been observed to host a variety of Units, however they are most often found clustered in particular sections of the Instance. Thus it is most common for one to find themselves largely alone within the Instance.

#### Native

* Tetra Flyer
* Shapeshifting Cat

#### General/Other Observed

* Butterfly
* Butterfly Zombie
* Crow Lord

### Flora

In contrast to the animate Units, the inanimate Units of the **Alpha-1** are found almost everywhere in the Instance and are generally a more prominent threat. The observed Flora include:

* Calling Vines
* Street Trees
* Yellow Glow Bulb
* Iron Berries
* Potassium Berries

### Groups

Being the first inhabited Instance, **Alpha-1** found itself to be the initial home of many early human settlements. With the discovery of **Alpha-2** however, the majority of these were quickly abandoned. The current active groups in the Instance are:

* Integrationist Church
Vancouver Island Incident

The Vancouver Island Incident was a series of events which happened on the eponymous Vancouver Island between 2038 and 2040. The primary force which drove these series of events forward are the precious mineral deposits within Vancouver Island's mountains which would benefit the growth of the Bioelectric Industry, and the resilience of the Interlopers which fought against the efforts to mine them.

## History

In 2026, the geologist Bernard Bisset took an expedition through Vancouver Island a few months after The Great Rumble to ascertain if any precious minerals were revealed as the result of the massive quake. After discovering rich deposits of the precursors for Neodymium, among other metals, he reported these findings back to Blackburn Holdings. Initially writing these off as not noteworthy, the eventual bionics boom would have them revisit the island, which mostly sat abandoned and unoccupied, ripe for harvesting if not for the massive Interloper presence on the island.

## Before the Incident

### Cristal Bellamy

*(Main Article: Cristal Bellamy)*

Burdened with regret, Bernard Bisset tasks Cristal Bellamy with sending forward the geology data to Vancouver Island, more specifically to her long lost mother Heather, to conceal it from Blackburn. Cristal starts a long journey north to Vancouver Island, where she eventually presents the data to her mother.

### The filming of *Dead Star*

During this time, drones have been spotted flying over the island, coupled with weird people in clothing which Interlopers have referred to as "Pagans". Unbeknownst to the Interlopers, the Island was being used to film a television show, where the Pagans were merely actors and the Drones were filming it. This created tension between the two parties, before Cristal shot and killed A-List celebrity Wilhelma DuPonte in front of a recording Drone in self defense, which promptly sent the footage through the news cycle to make it look like a murder. The public outrage would soon land in the lap of The Armed Forces of the United Nations.

1. ↑ Many Interlopers, especially "Born In Green", taken to calling them "Sky Flowers"
Keeper

## About

Master Sergeant Henry Stenton, known in Cascadia as "Keeper", is an Interloper residing in Vancouver Island. He once served as the premier gunsmith of the island, given his military background, but had since given the mantle to Hanover, and mostly serves as a gunsmith in the Nanaimo region.

## Background

Henry was born in the small coastal community of Holly, Washington. His father was a marine, his mother was a former Navy corpsman, so his path to a military career was already determined. Growing up in a small military town, Henry's primary occupations involved hunting, shooting and other bushcraft.

He entered his school's JROTC program in his sophomore year, but fell in love with Fiona Steinhart, which put a stop to his plans. They married not long after their graduation in 2014, and had Duncan two years after the fact.

## The Marine Corps

Henry enlisted with the Marine Corps in 2016, given his JROTC background he had a few early promotions. He was deployed to Iraq as part of Operation Inherent Resolve, where he saw active combat. There he was given command of a squad and learned leadership skills.

He had a noticeable knack for reconnaissance and unconventional warfare, where his commander sponsored him into MARSOC. In 2019, he was officially accepted into the Marine Raider Regiment, 2nd Battalion.

In 2024, after the secession of hostilities in the Middle East, was promoted to Master Sergeant, and subsequently did not re-enlist to spend time with his family. After returning home, he discovered that his wife had been cheating on him during his deployment. After a lengthy court battle, he won custody of his home and possessions but lost custody of his son, Duncan. A year after this, Henry decided to re-enlist with the Marines.

#### The Second Korean War

(Main Article: Second Korean War)

Regaining his rank of Master Sergeant in under a year, the The Great Rumble occurred which utterly destroyed Joint Base Lewis McChord. He was redeployed to Base Camp Butler in Okinawa, a month before the border incident which kickstarted the Second Korean War.

Master Sergeant Stenton fought in the Hwanghae Theater between 2026 and 2028, primarily involved in disrupting enemy supply lines and eliminating VIPs important to the North Koreans. When the front lines of the Southern Alliance reached Pyongyang and Nampo in 2028, the Zalim outbreak was first reported by military doctors, and he was recalled for a full health checkup. Having a clean bill of health, his unit was ordered to stay sheltered until more information on the outbreak was learned. As the outbreak worsened and his unit slowly died off, he was put in charge of a penal unit, who would be tasked with EOD. Disliking how the penal units were treated, Stenton would instead give them work more fitting for a soldier, which was primarily combat.
The Great Rumble

The Great Rumble, also known as "The Big One", "The Subduction", "The Rapture" and "Thunderbird and Whale", was a 9.7 magnitude earthquake that occurred on June 7, 2026.

## Effects

The Rumble would destroy most major cities on the west coast of the United States, crippling the west coast's economy and strategic capabilities.

* Seattle, built on top of loose silt-stone and old buildings, would quite literally "slide" into the Puget Sound, killing an untold million-plus figure of civilians.
* Los Angles and the Bay Area of California would be struck by a tsunami, which would wipe out most of its infrastructure and population. Reconstruction efforts were then hampered by the ensuing Zalim Plague, effectively killing California.
* Two days after the event, a tsunami would also strike the Iwate prefecture of Japan, damaging settlements from Kuji to Miyato.

### Taking advantage of a tragedy

In the same year, North Korea would begin a border conflict with South Korea, taking advantage of the United States' crippled strategic capability on the west coast. This would spiral into The Second Korean War.

### Economic Revival

Three years after The Rumble, a mysterious Benefactor would purchase the abandoned lands of the Kitsap Peninsula, to one day build a new city to revitalize the economy of the west coast.
Ozark

**The Ozarks**, or simply **Ozark**, is a Bioregion which occupies a large majority of Missouri and parts of Arkansas and Oklahoma. It is a highland region sheltered from the south by the Boston Mountains. It is one of several Bioregions in North America that does not have a currently inhabited city, though the closest inhabited city in Ozark is Chicago.
Trunk Buster

The "Trunk Buster" is a type of rifle which fires an extremely large and heavy caliber, usually measured in Bore. The Trunk Buster is named as such for the Cascadian use of taking down thin trees with the caliber, and often considered a joke when giving a reason or need to possess one. While not entirely practical for hunting unless for very large game, its use against NIJ-VMAG armor has been documented as extremely potent. Despite this, it is not a wholly practical rifle to wield at all times, largely due to the weight of the rifle, weight of the ammo (Weighing in at roughly 8 or more ounces (.2kg+) per cartridge), and the extreme recoil when firing. Cascadians will usually opt to fire something of a smaller caliber, with an easily controllable recoil and more economic ammo.

The Trunk Buster does not follow a specific pattern, though it is usually exhibited using either break action, falling or rolling block.

### 2-Bore

The 2-Bore is the more common round used for a Trunk Buster, next to 4-Bore. It is loaded with 700 grains of fine-grain black powder and a 3,500 grain projectile, usually a forged bronze or lead bullet (Depending on availability). The round is extremely slow at 1,500 feet per second, but contains 17,000 foot pounds at the muzzle. Because of this, during the Vancouver Island Incident it was extensively used to dispatch AFUN leaders who wore NIJ-VMAG armor. It may lack the speed that conventional armor piercing rounds may contain, but the 2-bore is more than capable of simply crushing through armor and transferring its velocity to the wearer, effectively killing or severely wounding them. However, the effective range would mean that the shooter would have to be relatively close to the target.

Oh, yeah, it can also take down trees.
Juliano Industries JI-VL237

An example of a VL-237

The **Juliano Industries Valente Leão .237**, known as the **JI-VL237** or simply **VL-237**, is a handgun utilizing the rather recent .237 caseless cartridge which was also developed by Juliano Industries. The VL-237 is one of the guns listed as "safe" for civilian possession according to the UN Charter, which makes it popular for home defence. It does not see much use in law enforcement, as the price per round between 9x19 Parabellum is significantly cheaper. In AFUN Sections which allow for operative specified equipment (Such as Section 56), the JI-VL237 sees some tactical use.
ZR-223

## ZR-223 (Zorion-Radcliffe pattern 223 Rifle)

The Zorion-Radcliffe pattern 223 Rifle, simply known as the ZR-223, is a commonly used AR-15/M4 variant created by the Zorion-Radcliffe Arms Company in Michigan. Its design differs from other AR pattern rifles by chambering in the 5.56x45 NATO cartridge, but having its intended cartridge be .223 Remington, boosting the shortcomings of the cheaper round due to an efficient action and a patented blowback system, which mitigates functional failures which are common when firing the .223 in a 5.56 chamber with a shorter barrel length.

The ZR-223 would be popular on the civilian and law enforcement market throughout the 2000's and 2010's. After AFUN was established, Zorion-Radcliffe were surprised to receive a contract which would militarize the rifle, while completely ceasing production of the civilian version. This resulted in the ZR-223A1 and A2, which were improved and full-auto conversions of the rifle. AFUN's primary intention for the rifle and the .223 Remington round as a whole was for engaging against softer targets, primarily Interlopers and cartels. By utilizing a .223 JSP round against soft targets, and stepping up to 5.56 M855 when faced with a bigger threat (Heavily depends on the ROE and policies of the AFUN section) the effectiveness of each round is increased.

## Info

### Weapon Type

Submachine Gun
Personal Defense Weapon

## Technical Details

### Action

Gas operated, short stroke piston, rotating bolt

### Sights

Picatinny Rail, flip up ghost ring iron-sights

The Meisner & Loch Automatic Defence Weapon model 7, referred to as the ADW7, is a personal defence weapon designed and manufactured by Meisner & Loch. It has seen an iconic following among gun enthusiasts with its distinct frame and unique cartridge. Despite there never being a civilian version made, it often ends up in the hands of criminal groups seeking to gain a penetrative edge against law enforcement agents.

The Armed Forces of the United Nations often equips non-combatant section members with this PDW.
Damien Lewis

## Damien James Lewis

Damien James Lewis is an investigative journalist who works in The Seaoko Tribune. Initially starting out as a ghost writer, writing articles such as *Top 10 Celebrity Butts* and *Why Eating Bugs Is Good Actually*, he got his big break when covering the Vancouver Island Incident in 2038 where he was recognized for his investigative skills as a journalist. He was instrumental during the events of 2045, where he uncovered a conspiracy to ignite a Third Korean War.

## Background

Damien grew up in a rural area in Oregon. His father taught him the belief that if the world changes, so do the people. Damien sought out to change the world for the better by seeing the truth, and wanted to become like his dad. He wrote for the school papers, but it did little to satisfy him, because nobody really read it.

### Death of family

When he was 15, his father, brother and sister were gunned down by a police officer, who got away with it after a lengthy trial. Since then he has always been made fun of for not having a father, and wants to write the true story of what happened that day.

### Beginning his journalist career

Damien became an intern at The Seaoko Tribune when he was 19, ghost writing articles, mainly top 10 lists. He got a major in English Language and a minor in political science and photography at Kitsap University. When he was 24 he got his break when he was the only one available to report on the Vancouver Island Incident.
Klapston, Washington

## About

Klapston, Washington is a city that rests on the entirety of the Greys Harbor area. In 1912, the county merged each township and community around the harbour, such as Hoquiam and Aberdeen, to form one large city, making it the county head.

After the Big One, it is the only other city on the west coast of the United States besides Seaoko, Washington.

## History

Klapston has a rich history dating back to the early 19th century when European settlers first explored the region. The town became a center for maritime activities, fishing, and the timber industry due to its favorable location and abundant natural resources. The region became known as "Harborville".

During the late 1800s, Harborville experienced rapid growth as more settlers arrived seeking opportunities in the burgeoning frontier. The establishment of sawmills and logging operations fueled its development, attracting workers from surrounding areas. Known for its hardworking residents and strong community spirit, Harborville thrived as a close-knit township. In 1912, the county authorities made the decision to merge Harborville with neighboring townships and communities, including Hoquiam and Aberdeen, to form a single large city. This amalgamation led to the birth of Klapston, which became the county seat of Greys Harbor. The consolidation aimed to better serve the growing population and enhance administrative efficiency.

Klapston continued to flourish as an industrial hub, with fishing fleets, lumber mills, and shipping facilities driving its economy.

However, Klapston faced a significant challenge following The Great Rumble. Many cities along the west coast were decimated, but Klapston remarkably survived relatively unscathed. It was one of the few "Destination Zones" in the continental US which had untained groundwater during the Zalim Crisis.

Today, Klapston exists as a sister city to Seaoko, serving the bulk of foreign shipping to the megacity. While it may not be an iconic powerhouse like Seaoko, it does offer a relatively quieter city life that Seaoko can't entirely offer.
UN Charter

The Charter of the United Nations, simply known as the UN Charter, are a series of global and international rules established by the United Nations, adopted and established in 2030. They bypass rules, laws and constitutions established by member nations of the UN. These charter rules were established in a period of turmoil in human history known as The Great Decline. According to the United Nations, in order for humanity's survival they had to enact complete and total globalism across the world. After their adoption, conditions of The Great Decline improved, at the monumental cost of individual rights of the common man.

One of the main UN Charter rules was the establishment of the Armed Forces of the United Nations (AFUN), which was a militaristic body under the control of the UN and its member states. Another main rule was the banning of assault weapons, body armour and tactical gear in possession of civilians. Many cited the UN Charter, and the United Nations as a whole, to be an oppressive authoritarian regime under the guise of a democracy. According to the UN Charter, such thoughts are deemed "dangerous".
Matriarch (Rifle)

## Matriarch

Matriarch is Anaheim's rifle, chambered in 7-30 Waters. It is a lever action rifle, designed and built by Keeper. It is Anaheim's main working rifle, primarily used when hunting deer. For more serious work, Anaheim uses Stonewall. It is similar to a .30-30 rifle, with a few enhancements and drawbacks.
Stonewall

Stonewall is one of Anaheim's rifles, primarily used when doing Ranger work or hunting dangerous game, both two and four legged. It is chambered in .375 WM (Weatherby Magnum). This rifle was built by The Babine Three as a reward for Anaheim for her help in establishing the Ranger Trail.

Anaheim uses this rifle for more serious, hands-on work which may lead to life-or-death. However, as the years passed she needed a rifle which didn't pack that heavy of a punch. After expressing this concern, Keeper built her Matriarch.
The Great Decline

The Great Decline was a period of global decay, as a manpower deficit in nearly every facet of human civilization caused supply shortages, recessions, economic crashes, which spiralled the Decline further.

The Great Decline lasted between 2029 and 2033, the aftermath of The Great Rumble and the Zalim Plague claiming the lives of 3 billion people. As a result, many vital infrastructures failed, or were inadequate to help sustain the remaining population. Even after the cure and vaccine were introduced, millions more would die as a result of these failures. Stocks dropped, legal tender was worthless, food was scarce.

Due to the decline of civilization, only a few key cities became bastions of humanity and civilization. The abandoned regions vacated by humanity would be reclaimed by Interlopers, especially in the west Canadian coast, eastern Europe, Sweden and Norway. Vast swathes of Russia east of the metropolitan area would be utterly occupied by Russian and Serbian Interlopers, who are often harassed by AFUN Sections deployed by Russia.

Agriculture was among those hardest hit. Most local and industrial farms suffered from their owners succumbing to the virus, or targets of looting. The ones that survived only did so by subsisting on bottled water, or underground reservoirs. This caused food prices to rise sharply, which prompted others to either steal, or grow or kill their own. Police cases on cannibalism became increasingly common. Hydroponics quickly became commonplace, with large circular towers dedicated to only hydroponics were erected in most major cities. Genetically enhanced animals, namely the Gargantila, which produces vast amounts of meat, milk, eggs, fur, and leather, were needed, as livestock plummeted to endangered. As of 2043, non-Gargantila livestock was viable again, but most farms relied solely on the economy of the Gargantila. Nutrio, which is used only to supplement those fitted with NCN Prosthetics, became a common household food item. It's often referred to as 'nutrient paste'.

With the death of many CEOs, namely in The United States, the international stock market dropped through the floor. Currencies would begin to lose value at this point, only usable for actual tinder. Cryptocurrencies would begin to rise in value, as they were not tied to any government, but CrypTon would reign supreme, as being located in Czechia, central in Europe, would net it huge gains within the European market. The Western United States lost most of its value, as Seattle, Los Angles, and The Bay Area were destroyed in The Great Rumble of 2026. The United States would then give statehood to Puerto Rico, Guam, and The Virgin Islands in 2033, desperate to revitalise the economy. Guam seceded in 2040, Cuba was granted statehood in 2043.
Gargantilla

The Gargantilla (Also spelt Gargantila) is the product of a splice between bison, horse, goat, and wild boar. Gargantillas produce in a month what an assortment of livestock produce in a year. Different species of Gargantilla can be made to accommodate certain dietary restrictions (Such as kosher or halal (Halal Gargantilla has a longer neck and tighter bunched arteries and veins to allow for a cleaner kill, also has no boar strain).

Gargantilla meat is said to have the toughness of horse meat, the gristle of chicken, and the taste of pork and beef. Gargantilla bacon exists, and tastes almost exactly like the real thing, except that it is less fatty and more tough than normal bacon, almost like jerky.

Gargantilla milk is slightly more viscous than normal cow's milk, and tastes like slightly bitter goat milk.

Gargantilla fur is soft, but does not do well in hot conditions. Gargantilla leather is comparable to latex, and is often used in clothing, especially long cloaks or ponchos.

## Feeding a declined population

Due to the shrinking livestock population during The Great Decline, whether by poaching or being let loose, the USDA decided to create a GMO Cattle which would pick up the work of their lost livestock. The Gargantilla was the result of this experiment, which would become a commercially viable livestock even during the economic collapse of the US Dollar.

After The Decline and eventual return of normalcy, the Gargantilla would still be a popular and cheap livestock for farmers, which in turn would result in Gargantilla products being cheaper and therefore more available to lower class populace. Genuine, organic, grass fed bovine beat would be considered a delicacy only reserved for the upper class, or anyone who could afford it. Overall, Gargantilla meat would be detested by those who had grown used to genuine meat, but still begrudgingly consumed.

The United Nations

The United Nations, at least after The Zalim Pandemic, is an international organization. Its primary goal after The Great Decline is to reconsolidate control in the badlands, return the population to pre-Zalim numbers, and suppress anyone which does not meet their vision. Currently, the United Nations has 68 soverign nations, with 4 observing bodies.
Quantum Computing

Quantum computing is relatively new, and it has changed many different parts of the world, both online and offline. More computing power means more things can be done with a single system.

The first quantum computer was theorised to be manufactured in 2035 by Zoeg, a Russian AI research company, known to own Bioelectric and Android companies such as Iamai LTD and FlorTek. The project name was classified, but small leaks bore the codename 'Hadron'. A showing in 2037 revealed the project to be a Quantum-Hybrid computer, where main processing power was quantum-based while main functions were maintained by a standard Binary chipset. The computer had a processing power of 34 qubits, which beat its own flagship supercomputer 'Bulychev' tenfold. The technology was quickly picked up by multiple companies and Zoeg's subsidiaries, being the boon of many who had invested in Zoeg's stock ticker.

After allowing for the hype to die down, the first Full-Quantum computer was created in 2038 by Zoeg's Japanese rival, Sanai. Sanai's own quantum computer beat Zoeg's quantum-hybrid by 18 qubits. Grey followed next with a Quantum computer that had 95 qubits, which was more powerful than every computer in the world combined.

The power behind quantum computing lies in the qubit itself. Where a conventional computer handles data as a binary, 1 or 0, True False, quantum computers handle data more dynamically. It can handle binary applications as well as superpositions, capable of being both 1 and 0, including everything between 1 and 0. In addition to being the processor, a quantum computer can handle its own memory (ROM, RAM, etc.), because it has so many given states.

Cooling is often handled by using LN2 or hydrogen gas tanks in a cooling loop. Yes, even quantum computers have the age old 'liquid or air cooled' argument. However, hydrogen quickly became a new option for PC enthusiasts to bring their binary processors down to below zero thanks to its newfound popularity.

Commercial viability for quantum computing has yet been established. While some companies employ their use for cloud computing and Android control mainframes, there has yet to be any sort of appeal for normal users. "It's just like how computers were back in the 1970's", said Blake Versberg, lead engineer at Gray, "Computers back then were seen as a novelty rather than something that can actually be used. Given its current state and the state of computers back then, it's near impossible to sell something the size of a minivan to your average consumer. Hell, 50 megabytes of storage back in the day would have taken up the space of a warehouse. Now you can easily fit a petabyte, which is a little over a billion megabytes, onto your pinkie finger with a HyperCard. It's just a matter of time before these computers are viable for your average consumer." As of now, quantum computers are made to order, with some even being sold for individual use. However, some reports of theft and hacking brings the need of licensing and background checks into question.
Dennoverse Wiki

**Welcome to the Dennoverse Wiki**
I didn't have the patience to try and host my own CMN so I just opted for this instead, please don't mind me.

This is just a place for me to aggregate all my fiction ideas into one place without having them scattered across 300 different documents.

## What is the Dennoverse?

The Dennoverse, also known as the "I don't know what to call this-verse" and "If Disney somehow acquires this in the future then this project goes into the public domain lick my balls-verse", is an alternate history timeline where the divergence takes place in the 1200's, where England unifies early under Scottish rule and helps Aquitaine win the Angevin War. A lot of wacky shenanigans (crimes against humanity) follow.

Mytha FlakFoam

Mytha FlakFoam is an anti-air concept developed by Mytha Technologies, based in Connecticut. FlakFoam creates a large, foamy cloud in the air which expands rapidly and takes a while to dissipate. FlakFoam uses patented adhesive fiberglass micro-particles which cling to surrounding air molecules that create a dense mass. This cloud can then get absorbed into an aircraft's air intake, which can disrupt or destroy the engine, thereby disabling the aircraft. As FlakFoam cannot distinguish between friend or foe, it is primarily used in scenarios where ground forces lack air superiority.

As far as countermeasures go, deploying chaff to scramble the system's radar lock is an effective method of avoiding a FlakFoam system, though the FCS for most FlakFoam installations use a combination of radar, thermal, infrared, and visual IFF to calculate an efficient prediction of where to deploy the cloud. However, in cases of complete air superiority, clouds may become deployed throughout the airspace to inhibit attacks from the air. A salvo of thirty FlakFoam shells can prohibit aircraft from occupying or entering a 2kmx2km area at varying elevations for roughly 15 minutes.

One of the main drawbacks of FlakFoam is its ineffectiveness in wind. While one may not expect an air attack in stormy conditions, a gentle 8mph breeze is enough to cause a FlakFoam cloud to begin drifting. Some FlakFoam mixtures are devised to be "thicker" and more air-resistant, at the cost of being heavier, ergo become ineffective quicker.

Although AFUN does not commonly deal with an air-capable enemy, most AFUN sections are equipped with some variety of a FlakFoam system as opposed to standard anti-air defenses.

## Violet Liliana Semmet

Violet Semmet is the premier reporter of The Seaoko Tribune in 2045. She was born in Holly before The Great Decline, and due to the Green Mountain Treaty was given land and property at a premium. She is often seen on the giant jumbotron screens around Seaoko, giving a breaking news story or general report. Beloved by many, she's an influential person in Seaoko despite her reclusive nature.

She confides in her colleague Damien Lewis, who mainly acted as her mentor throughout university. During the events in the year 2045, she helped Damien uncover a plot to indict North Korean refugees in a terror plot to ignite a Third Korean War.
Raelene

Raelene, also known as "Deadeye", is a Cascadian Interloper residing on Father & Son lake on Vancouver Island. She lives with her four older sisters and her mother, Anaheim. She is the love interest of Cristal. Out of all her sisters, she is the most accurate of them all. They jokingly attribute it to Raelene's colorblindness in her dominant eye, hence the nickname "Deadeye".

## Background

Raelene was born 7 years before The Great Rumble, so she did not have as much experience with the modern life, unlike her older sisters. Being the youngest child, she was cared for and coddled too much by her family, and did not have the same opportunity to learn and experience like her four other sisters had. Nonetheless, she practiced at the range at a very young age, being able to outshoot other Interlopers by the age of 13, and her own mother by 15. Despite her marksmanship skills she still feels undervalued and unskilled, not just for her talent and skill only being attributed to her dominant eye being colorblind by others, but also the fact that marksmanship and hunting are her only occupations.

Her main desire is to eventually travel up and down Cascadia's coast, and become a Cascadian legend as "Raelene the Deadeye Woman", but she's a long way from having the gear (or guts) for it. While she waits for herself to be ready, she takes great interest in hearing the stories of travellers and passerby who have interesting stories to share. The most interesting person she met, aside from an Alaxsxaqan Interloper who wore a pelt made out of a Blessed grizzly bear, was a girl from the cities named Cristal. Her thirst for adventure only swelled when meeting Cristal, with her by Raelene's side she feels like she can take on the world.

## Equipment

Raelene wields a cartridge converted replica of a LoMat Revolver chambered in .44 Magnum and 20 gauge shell, and a .45-70 Falling Block rifle she named "Thunderhart". Both were smithed by Keeper.

Over common clothes, she wears a large buck leather smock and a duck leather bandolier. She's hardly ever seen without her felt mountain hat, with the brim folded on the right. Sourced by Raelene and tailored by her leathersmithing sister Glynis. During the winter she like many others wears a bear fur parka when trekking outside, though this parka was instead sourced by her sister Heledewis. She was never a fan of fur or leather legwear and prefers jeans.
NIJ-VMAG

National Institute of Justice Level 5 Diamagnetic Plates, abbreviated as NIJ-VMAG, is a special level of the NIJ-V rating, where the plate contains a series of permanent rare earth magnets, commonly Neodymium-Cobalt magnets, along with a diamagnetic material lining the outside of the plate. The magnets serve to reduce the velocity of a projectile enough to reduce its harm against its wearer.

### NIJ V

NIJ-V, at least to the standards of AFUN, incorporates a standard ceramic plate, with a lab-grown plate of sapphire between the two plates, which offers a higher standard of protection over steel while eliminating spalling, while being lightweight. Android and robotic workers have allowed for faster production of lab-grown sapphires, which effectively reduces the overall cost for the plates. Despite this, it costs more to manufacture a single plate of NIJ-V than NIJ-IV

### Theory

The theory behind the technology is that lead is a diamagnetic metal, which is repelled by magnetic fields. While the magnet may not repel the bullet, it has the potential of slowing its velocity or keyholing the projectile, reducing its harm before hitting the plate. The diamagnetic material inside the plate, which is often pyrolytic graphite (or in rare cases, Bismuth) pushes out while the magnets are active, creating an opposing force against the bullet. The setup requires the plate carrier to be lined with Micro Solar Cell sheets to power the magnets. It is linked to the operator either by manual switch or bionic synthesis, which allows the operator to turn the magnetic plates on or off at will, often to prevent clinging to metal structures or affecting the ballistics of their own weapons.

### Users

The Armed Forces of the United Nations allows sections to outfit their members with NIJ-VMAG armour if their budget allows it. They are often equipped on squad or platoon leaders. AFUN Section 1, the Section responsible for defending the United Nations Headquarters, are all equipped with NIJ-VMAG armour.

NIJ-VMAG, or any body armour, is banned from civilian use and possession according to UN Charter.

### Criticisms

The main criticism of NIJ-VMAG, besides its exuberant cost, is that steel-tipped projectiles will actually become deadlier with magnets involved, as steel is ferromagnetic and will therefore attract the projectile. However, the rating on NIJ-V can more than protect against these threats even if the magnets are turned on or off, barring blunt force trauma.
Babine Three

The **Babine Three**, less commonly known as **Three of Babine**, are a trio of Cascadian gunsmiths that operate out of the eponymous Babine Mountains. They are best known for creating the Cascadian Pattern Revolver, which has seen popular widespread use amongst Interlopers in Cascadia, and a niche audience in the cities. They are highly regarded as master gunsmiths, but won't offer their services to just anyone. Their main clients are primarily Rangers, or Interlopers well known throughout Cascadia.

## The Three

### Soren

Soren is said to have been a lead designer for German gun manufacturer Ostbero Westbach, before migrating out to Cascadia for an unknown reason. He's been attributed for coming up with a unified revolver pattern which became the Cascadian Pattern, though this is primarily a theory.

### Harkwood

Harkwood was a gunstore owner from Spokane, but after Washington's Assault Weapon ban of 2023, he took his practice into the woods. It's said he can zero a gun in less than 10 rounds. He came up with the design for Stonewall, Anaheim's Ranger rifle.

### Talon

Talon's past is relatively unknown and rarely discussed, but he's credited for forming the Babine Three as the premier gunsmiths of Cascadia. He rarely designs firearms, but his skill is in producing them, from the wood stocks to the tiny components within. Nevertheless, he still weighs in on design choices to determine if something is possible or not. Rarely will he say something is insane or impossible, leading the Babine Three to produce peculiar pieces.
Interloper Name

An Interloper's Name is a name chosen by an Interloper. They are distinctly based on Trail Names. A name usually has sentimental value to an Interloper, or is purely a name they feel best represents them. It helps shed away any semblance of their past lives.

Names vary wildly across different Bioregions. For example, Cascadians sometimes choose names in the Salish language, but the most common Cascadian name by far is "Sasquatch". To prevent confusion with common names, some Interlopers opt to add a title to the end of their name, such as "Sasquatch of Mint lake", or "Heath of Mount Alava".

Using an Interloper's real name in place of their chosen name is seen as either an affront or a sign of trust, heavily regarding the context.
Adalgard

Adalgard is a Cascadian Interloper residing on Father & Son Lake with her four sisters and her mother, Anaheim. She is known as a "Rootwalker", someone who specializes in herbal medicine. She is the second oldest Anaheim daughter.

## Background

Adalgard was born a year after her older sister, Heledewis. She grew up with an interest in herbology and medicine after her father Potbelly demonstrated the use of the woundwort on a scraped knee as a polutice. When she was 12, afterdiscovering that her youngest sister Raelene was blue-green colorblind in her dominant eye, she attempted to "cure" it with a dose of psilocybin. She's hardly ever seen without a bag of dried herbs or remedies, and the scent of spices follows her everywhere. When building her cabin, she installed a wet sauna for use as both a cleansing area, and a sterile environment for minor surgeries and births. Though she is the shortest sister at 4'8", she is just as capable as the rest of her sisters in what she does for an occupation.

### Marriage

In 2035, Adalgard was gifted a moose antler neck charm by an Interloper named Chesapeake, who was also a fellow Rootwalker. She became pregnant in 2036, but delivered a still birth, to which Chesapeake vehemently stated was entirely her fault for delivering in an unsafe environment. The two Interlopers subsequently divorced, and Adalgard's family swore to shoot him on sight.
Mark Foster

**Mark Foster** is a 2-time daily winner on *Richard Osman's House of Games*. He appeared in Week 109.

## Notes

1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 In Episode 545, Mark tied with Sian Williams, but Richard Osman declared a draw instead of a tiebreak, on the basis that it would make no difference on who won the trophy and that both Sian and Mark were planning on giving the wheelie luggage to Sheree Murphy.
Interloper Weaponry

Interlopers primarily use manually operated firearms, such as bolt action, lever action, and pump action rifles. Primitive weaponry, such as bows and spears, are also common. These are used for ease of maintenance and ease of obtaining (or re-obtaining) ammunition. This is not to say that Interlopers don't use semi-automatic firearms, or entirelly neglect an up-close approach, but it is an uncommon sight.

Gunsmithing, therefore, is a well established trade in Interloper regions such as Cascadia. Without access to milling tools or automated manufacturing tools, nearly every firearm has to be made by hand through locally sourced materials. Bullets and casings also have to be sourced, either through a blacksmith or cut from scavanged pipes, then necked down to the specification of the desired cartridge. The most popular calibers vary by region, but it is commonly .45-70 government, due to the simple straight-wall case not demanding much labor, ergo cost. Gunpowder is easily sourced through mined sulfur, charcoal from fires, and urine (Many Interloper gunsmiths employ a "Urine Only" outhouse at their stead, to source the saltpeter component for gunpowder).

Blacksmiths are just as important as the gunsmiths. They are responsible for smithing the base blocks of barrels, receivers and frames for firearms. But, they are also responsiblle for the more primitive tools used by Interlopers. Without them, an Interloper wouldn't have a knife to hunt, an axe to make a home, or a spear to defend against prey. Blacksmiths commonly source peat iron out of bogs, and use blood and bones from their prey to strengthen it into steel.
