Q. How does the Assault Rifle work?
The trusty Bauer Anderson Davis MFO-101 (Multi Functional Ordnance) is a miracle of modern weapons and recycling technology.
The first rifle to be able to manufacture its own caseless ammunition - compacted high density carbon rounds, nitroglycerine pods and liquid accelerants recovered from ambient atmospheric carbon dioxide and nitrogen - it is an excellent choice for any soldier likely to be exposed to extended combat.
This "Swiss Army Knife" of rifles also comes with an invaluable instruction manual, written by the same people who make VCR, DVD and graphics card installation instructions. We're sure that you'll get to grips with them in time...
Is it time for the dance of joy yet?
Rumours that the manual comes with a diagram showing "This End Towards enemy" are of course completely unfounded and untrue.
Completely. Got it?

Q: How does Pyrokinesis work in real life?
A: It has long been theorised that extreme emotion releases a substantial amount of chemical energy that in normal humans increases the acidity production within the stomach. Humans with Pyrokinesis transmit this residual energy through hyperspace using the field known as psychotronics., first theorised by the brilliant physicist, Nikolai Tesla.
Before the turn of the century, Nikola Tesla had discovered and was utilizing a new type of electric wave. Tesla repeatedly stated that his waves were non-Hertzian, and that his wireless transmissions did not fall off as the square of the distance. Authors have found that the wave which Tesla was using is a longitudinal scalar wave, capable of many times the speed of light. When coupled with another scalar wave (Tesla wave),
the resulting vector wave can be the source of electromagnetic energy for electrical power, a protective force field, or a destructive weapon.
The resultant wave would be only accessible by the recipient as was set by the mind of the Pyrokinetic and would provide enough energy to be directed into the atoms of the target, causing the electrons to oscillate to such a degree that the ambient temperature of the atom would be increased, with negligible loss of energy due to the wave passing through the 'vacuum' effect of non-Euclidian space/time (Later theorised as Hyperspace by Science Fiction writers).
More detail can be discovered here.
Telekintics and Cryo-kinetics are acheived in similar ways, but using the residiual energy as a direct kinetic impact or as a slowing influence on the electron rotation.
[My mistake : Psychotronics is a Czech term; psychoenergetics is the Soviet term for this and should be used in preference.)

[Q] Why is Grav's skin green?
[A] As Jessica learned to master her magical heritage, it's bonds with her became stronger aswell, transforming her body. Her Gravity and Forcefield expertice marked her skin with a greenish tane (Which is also why Grave's skin is white: Necromancy)
Also: she had red hair, but it is now blonde. Yet an other stage in her development
Quote of the day: "I'm a natural red head, I'm just a magical blonde."
[Q] What can Grav conjure? And how does that work?
[A] She can conjure just about anything she can think off. Just not food or drinks she hasn't tasted because she'd get the flavour wrong. It works by transforming energy into mater, but it is only stable for about two days, give or take a few hours, after that it just.. falls apart back into energy.
By that time the food has been processed so there are no ill effects, but the minute additions to body fat it caused would disipate.

Why green? That's what I have to ask. I mean, what is inherently green about gravity?
And then you have to ask: so, why did this stuff do this to Jess? War Crow knows necromancy, cartomancy, conjuration, sympathetic techniques, you name it, but he's never turned a funny colour (well, there was the incident with Hannah's hair, but Crow hasn't ever changed colour himself.) So why did it happen to Jess?
It's a mystery... so it be. Arrr.

It's the ingame graphical representation... but as the gravity is more brown/orange/green then green...
I went with the green of the forcefields
(the answer I gave Wordy when he asked was something like: "don't ask", so I think this one's better )

Q) How does Miss Ellie's armour work?
A) Miss Ellie is a human/kheldian/cat combined being. The form you see is only the form she's wearing at the time. Like all kheldians, she can alter her quantum matrix to take on other forms. Her armoured form is a mix of her cat fur (normally hidden), coated with an incredibly tough yet flexible energy armour which can and has protected her from explosions of up to 10 pounds of C4 at point blank range (Though she did get a rather nasty nosebleed from the shockwave). Unfortunately, as the armour is comprised of kheldian energy, it cannot protect her from Quantum Array weaponry, which is specifically designed to disrupt a Kheldians energy matrix.
Q) How do Miss Ellie's senses work?
A) Miss Ellie has all the enhanced senses of a cat, as well as those of a kheldian. That means greatly enhanced hearing, smell and sight, as well as being able to see a persons bioenergy field (or aura if you prefer). Unlike cats, she see's in colour unless she's working in the dark, in which case her vision becomes monochromatic but does give her excellent night vision.
These enhanced senses DO also cause her several problems. She can be disorentated by loud high frequency sounds and noxious odours. A bright light in the dark will also dazzle her. She also only has these enhanced senses (except the aura vision) when in human form.
(( The enhanced hearing means she WILL hear anything said in local range, even whispers... So remember those tells people!
Q) What are her weaknesses?
A) One cannot have a powerful character without weaknesses. Ellie has several.
* Quantum Array weaponry
* High frequency sound
* Bright light when in a dark environment
* Strong noxious odours
* Catnip!
* Balls of yarn
* Her tail, which is very sensitive if not armoured
* Kids... She's scared spitless of kids...
