Experiment log for artifact Aegis Lambda-1
Description of artifact
Aegis Lambda-1, commonly referred to as a “bloodstained seal”, consists of piece of parchment, approximately 10 x 18 cm. Inscribed upon the parchment in blood is a intricate pattern. [see attached] Artifact was obtained from Circle of Thorns on the 27th of February 2012.

Experiment 1: non destructive analysis of Aegis Lambda-1
Procedure: Aegis Lambda-1 subjected to wide band spectroscopy, radiation scanning, themographic imaging and passive thaumalogical investigations.
Results: Scans confirm the Seal's volatile reaction to teleporting. Analysis indicates successful teleportation may be possible. No anomalous results from parchment. This suggests that the medium the seal is transcribed on is of limited importance. Further testing proposed to test effectiveness of different transcription materials.
As expected, Aegis Lambda-1 contains high levels of thaumaulogic energy. This energy signature follows the inscribed pattern on the surface of Aegis Lambda-1. Energy readings appear characteristic, and it is conjectured that this signature could be used used to identify additional artifacts, and could potentially be traced. New containment measured to shield detection proposed.
Experiment 2: sample analysis
Procedure: Pigment sample taken from Aegis Lambda-1 and subjected to wide band spectroscopy, radiation scanning, themographic imaging, passive and active thaumalogical investigations, mass spectroscopy.
Parchment sample taken from Aegis Lambda-1 and subjected to wide band spectroscopy, radiation scanning, themographic imaging, passive and active thaumalogical investigations, mass spectroscopy.
Both samples destroyed.
Results: Analysis confirms mundane nature of parchment. Sample dates to before 0 CE, appears to be European in origin.
Pigment confirmed to be human blood, type O+ from a magic user, of comparable age to parchment. Sample appears to be Middle Eastern in origin. Thaumatological examination also shows that there is a trace of [REDACTED] energy.

Experiment 3: restraint of compliant human subject
Procedure: Aegis Lambda-1 used to seal compliant human subject for 72 hours. Aegis Lambda-1 monitored via passive scans throughout experiment. Interviews with subject conducted every 12 hours. Subject instructed to attempt to escape immediately after containment, after 36 hours and after 72 hours. Subject released after 72 hours.
Results: Test subject is male Caucasian, 42 years old, 108kg, 185cm tall, procured from [REDACTED]. Subject is briefed on experimental procedure.
Subject successfully sealed using Aegis Lambda-1 after approximately seven hours of casting. Upon completion of sealing, subject disappeared. Analysis indicates that subject was transported to a small pocket dimension tethered by Aegis Lambda-1. Passive thaumatological scanning indicated an increase of thaumatologal energy output from Aegis Lambda-1 during this time.
Interview with subject was conducted as scheduled via thaumatological and psionic methods. Other attempts to contact subject via conventional methods were ineffectual Subject reported inability to mark passage of time while contained as well as loss of all senses and sensation of disembodiment. Subject expressed anxiety and agitation at the loss of external senses and apparent disembodiment. Subject was unable to escape, and reported no noticeable progress in any attempts. Subject became increasingly emotional during captivity, varying between anger and despondence. Subject made repeated requests to be released prior to the scheduled conclusion of testing.
After 72 hours the subject was released via a standard dispellment. Upon doing so, the subject appeared near Aegis Lambda-1, which became inactive. Subject immediately attempted to attack nearby personnel and was contained by on site security. Subject remained violent and incoherent for approximately 24 hours, after which subject continued to show distress and signs of trauma but was otherwise lucid and compliant. During this time subject made repeated requests for termination, which was denied. Memory wipe was successfully performed and subject was released.
Due to efficacy of the seal and total inability for the subject to mount any escape attempt, testing of non-compliant human subject has been deemed unnecessary. Additional testing planed to the determine nature of the energy build up during containment, the nature of the pocket dimension apparently used by Aegis Lambda-1 and reason for the subject frenzying upon release.

so how do the rest of us start to do things , also is there going to be a thread for us to post our " what happened" bits or do you want to keep everything in game ?

As for a thread of "what happened", well, if people want one. I don't really see the point to be honest, as any significant event can be noted here (and if you mean in terms of Forum RP, I don't find it mixes well with in-game RP due to pacing)
