Augmenter Tweaking Missions

2011-05-29T21:54:55Z

Hakongul: /* Level 1 */

These missions walk you through the various aspects of augmenters and augmenter creation to allow you to advance the honorable skill of [[Augmenter Tweaking]].

====Introduction====

The first mision requires a level 5 character to start it.

'''Requires level 5 character to start!''' 
Location: Cadet Academy, Cadet Academy
*Agent: Ptolemy 3000
*Mission: Augmenter Research.

Augmenter Research.

As you are sitting at the bar in Cadet Academy, a thin man with glasses approaches you.
"Hello there. You seem to be a rather promising pilot, perhaps I could intrest you with a remarkable proposal!
I am Ptolemy 3000 from Lyceum and I was sent here to find pilots to help us with our field research.
If you decide to help us out we will more than make it worth your time.
So, how does that sound, will you help us advance the knowledge of the universe? Wonderful!
Since you will be working with a very unique type of item, Augmenters, it is best that you know all about them.
I will send Menelaus 3000 at Nexus Station a transmission saying you are going to arrive there,
he will be more than pleased to share his knowledge with you!

*Experience given.
*Reward: Lyceum Initiate Augmenter

Summary
Go meet with Menelaus 3000 in The Nexus, he will teach you about all he knows about Augmenters.

Location: Nexus Station, Nexus
*Agent: Menelaus 3000
*Mission: Augmenter Research

Augmenter Research.

So you say that Ptolemy 3000 sent you to learn about Augmenters? Most wonderful indeed!
Understanding Augmenters is a very important matter, so it's extremely wonderful that you came to study.
Now, where to start. Ah of course, the beginning! Augmenters are a rather unique class of items,
and they have the power to alter your ship considerably.
Each Augmenter has a combination of upgrades, and each upgrade will change one of your ships primary statistics.
Be it shielding, energy, damage or even tractor beams, there is an Augmenter that can modify the properties of it!
So you see, by using Augmenters you can customize your ship to you standards.
Hmm? Ready to leave already?! There is still quite a bit about Augmenters you don't know yet, you really should stay!
Now where was I? Ah, yes! Each ship has an Augmenter rating,
and this determines the number of Augmenters that you can attach to it.
A ship with an Augmenter Rating of two can equip two augmenters, with four, four augmenters, it's rather simple indeed.
You must be careful when equipping Augmenters though, they cannot be removed!
Since a ship has a limited number of Augmenters it can equip, and Augmenters cannot be removed,
it is of paramount importance that you think before you decide to use one!
You wouldn't want to use an Augmenter that you would regret later would you now?
My, you do have a very short attention span, don't you?
Well, if you must leave now I guess I can keep the reward I had for you... So you're staying then? Wonderful!
Well.. to continue! A ship's Augmenter Rating is not the only thing that defines the Augmenters you can use on it,
the ship's general Tech Level also has a role. You may only equip an augmenter of equal or lower Tech Level to that of your ship.
So if you happen to use a Tech Level 3 ship, it can only use Tech Level 3 or lower augmenters.
Now then, since I have imparted most of my Augmenter knowledge to you, I have a rather special reward.
Of course! It's an Augmenter! Well, make good use of it, and be sure to come back to see me if you have any further questions,
perhaps after you are a bit more expirenced. Good Luck Simon!

====Level 1====

'''Requires level 10 character to start!''' 
Location: Nexus Recruitment Centre, Nexus
*Agent: Menelaus 3000
*Mission: Augmenter Tweaking!

Augmenter Tweaking!

So Simon, there is something else you would like to know concerning augmenters?! Wonderful!
Now, there was something that I didn't touch upon when I first talked to you, and I would be more than willing to share it with you... well,
except this time I think I'll require an object lesson. Yes, that means you need to get me an object,
but not just any object ... I require some Augmenters! Now, if you can bring me back 1 Minor Docking,
I'll explain a very new concept in Augmenter sciences, a rather strange skill called Augmenter Tweaking.
Well? Interested in enlightening yourself?

* Experience given.
* Reward Skill: Augmenter Tweaking through lvl 1
(requires 1 skill point)

Summary
Bring Menelaus 3000 1 Minor Docking Augmenter.

Location: Nexus Recruitment Centre, Nexus
*Agent: Menelaus 3000
*Mission: Augmenter Tweaking!

Augmenter Tweaking!

"Augmenter Tweaking is a very unique skill indeed. You see, recentally we at Lyceum found a very strange sun in an unnamed galaxy,
so we promptly set up a research station. The discovery of a new class of sun doesn't usually require such intensive research,
but this sun was unique and it had some very odd properties!
This sun actually releases bursts of energy that have a very strange and helpful effect on Augmenters!
Realizing the worth of such energies yet again, all our top Augmenter researchers set about to harness that power,
and after many months of stressful and difficult effort we managed to construct a
transmitter that channels and redirects the Augmenter Wave bursts all across the universe!
Yes! This means anyone that understands how to harness the A Waves Bursts
we transmit can make use of them anywhere in the known universe!
Now that you have the background information, time for the lesson.
The Minor Docking Augmenter that you brough upon my request has a special modification to your ships docking speed.
It can offer a 300% docking bonus I beleive, correct? Now, I have a fair bit of knowledge on how to utilize the augmenter energies,
that are channeled from that strange star, so just watch."
Menelaus 3000 makes a few modifications to the Augmenter you brought him,
including what looks like the addition of a transceiver assembly. He then presents the augmenter to you.
"You see?! By making a few modifications to the Augmenter, and adding a transceiver that will absorb the Augmenter wave bursts,
I have increased the effectiveness of the Augmenter by 10%! Since this is such a powerful ability,
I will only share a little with you at first, but as time progresses and you learn more of the universe,
no doubt we from Lyceum will begin to explain and share even more of this remarkable ability!
Now if you would just step into my Neurotraining booth over there, this will only hurt a little ... but you'll learn something!"

====Level 2====

Location: Nexus Recruitment Centre, Nexus
*Agent: Menelaus 3000
*Mission: Tweakage Facilitator

Tweakage Facilitator

Ah, welcome back Simon. I'm sure you're here to learn more about augmenters and tweaking, correct?
Well, as much as I'd like to enlighten you, I have a bit of a problem.
The Augmenter Wave burst signal is rather weak here in the Nexus, and it's something I can't quite fix without help.
Yes, that's right, I can fix the problem, I simply need to construct a Tweakage Facilitator.
What's that you say? It's simply a device that can amplify, redirect or even store an Augmenter Wave burst
in an area that doesn't receives a good signal from our research station around the star Helios.
So? Do you think you could help out this scientist with his worthy cause? You'll be rewarded of course!"

* Experience given.
* Reward Skill: Augmenter Tweaking through lvl 2
(requires 2 skill points)

Summary
Bring Menelaus 3000 everything he needs to build a Tweakage Facilitator.
He requires 10 Kendalite, 25 Metals, 25 Silicon and 1 Minor Energy Augmenter.

Location: Nexus Recruitment Centre, Nexus
*Agent: Menelaus 3000
*Mission: Tweakage Facilitator

Tweakage Facilitator

Now that we have a Tweakage Facilitator in the Nexus, I think we no longer need your help here.
Don't be dissappointed, you've fared quite well indeed and I have sent word to my fellows at the Acropolis!
If you visit them there, I am sure they will have other tasks for you to complete,
and even more knowledge to impart than I could ever possibably consider offering you.
Well? Feel like learning more about augmenters Simon? Then head off to the Acropolis!

====Level 3====

Location: Parthenon, Acropolis
*Agent: Euclid 3000
*Mission: Combined Augmenters!

Combined Augmenters!

"So, how are you doing today, Simon? I have heard that you studied with Menelaus 3000 in the Nexus,
surely the fact you are here means you must want to learn more about Augmenters. If that is so,
I have another area of Augmenter Research in which you can help us."
Euclid 3000 brings up a map of the Universe, and centers it on a system that is called Copper.
"In this system there is an independant Augmenter researcher known as Scientist Arete.
He is doing some very vital work in Augmenter Combination, a subfield of Augmenter Research that we know very little about!
Perhaps you could get him to share a sample of his work with us, so that we may all be further enlightened!
Let him know that we will disclose some of our research data in return. That is all for now."

* Experience given.
* Reward Skill: Augmenter Tweaking through lvl 3
(requires 3 skill points)

Summary
Find Scientist Arete in Copper, he is rumored to be an expert in the field of Augmenter Research.
Then try to obtain a Minor Defensive Augmenter from him so the
scientists at The Acropolis can research combination augmenter technologies.

Location: Copper Research Post, Copper
*Agent: Scientist Arete
*Mission: Research Exchange Program

Research Exchange Program

So those Augmenter researchers examining Helios still are stumped by Augmenter Combination?
And they're willing to disclose data on Augmenter Tweakage? Yes, I think we have a deal!
I'll give them a sample of my Augmenter Combination technologies,
but I'm a bit short on augmenters right now. Can you get me the Augmenters that I need?
Bring me back a Minor Shield and a Minor Recovery and I'll set to work!

* Experience given.
* Reward: Minor Defensive Augmenter

Summary
Help Scientist Arete create a Minor Defensive Augmenter
so you can take it back to the Acropolis for Euclid 3000 and his research team to study.
Scientist Arete needs 1 Minor Shield Augmenter and 1 Minor Recovery Augmenter.

Location: Copper Research Post, Copper
*Agent: Scientist Arete
*Mission: Research Exchange Program

Research Exchange Program

"And so you have witnesses the miracle of Augmenter Combination!
Take this Minor Defensive Augmenter back to the researchers at the Acropolis,
and tell them I await their datastream!" Scientist Arete begins to walk away,
but turns back and faces you. "Make sure you do not use that or lose that!
I will only make one of those for you, so if you lose it, you'll have to find some other way to get another!"

Location: Parthenon, Acropolis
*Agent: Euclid 3000
*Mission: Combined Augmenters!

Combined Augmenters!

"Simon, You have brought back an example of this combination technique to us? Ah, good.
Then I will have a datastream sent to Copper containing some of our latest breakthroughs!"
Euclid 3000 signals a lab assistant, and instructs him to send a transmission to Scientist Arete.
"Now, let me take this to the experts we have here on the research station,
surely with an example of this technology they can replicate and even understand it!
Perhaps we will witness a revolution in Augmenter Combination!"

====Level 4====

Location: Parthenon, Acropolis
*Agent: Euclid 3000
*Mission: The Next Level!

The Next Level!

Now that you have been fully trained in the basics of Augmenters,
I think it is finally time that I send you out for some Field Research!
You see, most of us from Lycuem are not exactally the type that would do well dealing with hostiles and cavorting about space.
We are far more useful in the laboratory ... in this nice, safe, and heavily defended spacebase!
Any why should we risk lives and in turn our vast intellectual abilities when we can always find someone else to do it for us!
Now, anyway, your first task as a field research is to find us a complete set of Minor Augmenter Condensor Blueprints.
With these we can unlock the secrets to the next level of Augmenters, the next grade, Basic!
Yes, you see, an Augmenter Condensor will upgrade augmenters by combining two of the same type!
So, with all the Minor Augmenter research we have done, we can use this set of Condensors to upgrade our work,
to as you would say, take it up a level! Oh, and Simon do not worry, you will be well rewarded if you make it back alive!

* Experience given.
* Reward: Honorary Mention
* Reward: Honorary Mention

*Mission: The Next Level!

The Next Level!

"Thank you very much Simon! With this full set of Minor Augmenter condensors,
we will be able to gain an even greater understanding of these extremely useful Augmenters,
and we will begin to understand the properties of a more powerful group of Augmenters, Basic Augmenters.
Now, I will send these to some of our up and coming researchers, they needed a grad project anyway, and we will deal with your reward."
Euclid 3000 has the grad students called in, and he escorts you to another laboratory on the station.
"This is where we do a very important line of Augmenter Research, I doubt you have heard of it yet.
We have been expirementing with attaching Augmenter bonuses to normal items!
I am sure you can see the value in persuing this field of study.
Since you have completed your first task as a field researcher,
I am going to give you an item that makes use of this revolutionary new technology!
You will find the reward on your ship, but first ... the neurotweaking booth is over here.
You cannot leave without learning more!"

====Demeter Augmenter====

Location: Parthenon, The Acropolis
*Agent: Empedocles 3000
*Mission: Demeter Augmenter

Demeter Augmenter

"I'm not too sure how aware of our histories you are, Simon, but we at Lyceum are an ancient order indeed,
well at least in this Quantum Universe. I'm sure in some other parallel universe we probably don't exist...
but that's beside the point. Regardless, many years ago, someone, we are not quite sure of his name,
but it was perhaps Bill or Ted, did something amazing, he built some sort of time machine!
Using this modified 'phone booth' an Ancient Earth device if you weren't aware" explains Empedocles 3000
"he plunged into the past and discretely collected DNA samples from some of the Terran 'Ancient Greeks'.
Of course it were those who eventually were to be universally reknowned for their musings, mathmatical,
scientific and astronomical breakthroughs! With DNA samples and synaptic scans in hand,
he returned to his time and cloned the original Lyceum researches,
restored their memories and explained the basis of modern scientific theory to them! Lyceum was duely established,
and this collective of enlightened minds was created! I think you understand what I mean by 'Ancient Order' now,
don't you? Now, to the point. Since all the core Lyceum researchers are descendants of the cloned ancient greats,
we honor their traditions, use their ancient names, and strive to preserve symbols of their Ancient Gods! Simon,
I have been assigned by Aristotle 3000 to create new augmenters dedicated to the Greek Gods of old,
but I need some help starting the project. I'm a bit short on supplies for the first, perhaps you could help!
Just bring me everything I require, and I shall start!"

* Reward: Demeter Augmenter

*Agent: Callippus 3000
*Mission: Apollo and Hestia

Apollo and Hestia

"We have heard reports of an extremely rare class of Augmenters aptly named after Greek gods.
The problem lies in the fact we have only heard of them. It would be marvelous if we could actually have a set to examine,
study, to discover their potential and unlock their secrets!
We need but one Apollo and one Hestia augment and we'd appreciate it if you could find them for us!"

*Mission: Inferno Augmenter

Inferno Augmenter

Eutocius 3000 seems to have a problem keeping his mouth shut.
"According to the data provided to us by Earthforce over the subspace networks developed by Alfred Gor,
the Inferno ships piloted by the Infernal Pirates are extremely fast and do a good amount of damage,
at the cost of their shielding. This effect is due to the effect of a special Augmenter that provides that effect!
Perhaps, if you could, it would be nice if you could consider possibably collecting some of this Augmenter for me?"
You tell him you will just so you can leave!

* Experience given.
* Reward: Honorary Mention

Now to have researchers begin studying these augmenters so we can learn why they create the effect that they do!"

Location: Parthenon, The Acropolis
*Agent: Oenopides 3000
*Mission: Tweakage Facilitator

Tweakage Facilitator

"It was Menelaus 3000 that explained the Tweakage Facilitators to you, was it not? Regardless, you understand the concept right?
Tweakage Facilitators allow us to transmit the Augmenter Wave Bursts universally! Now, let me be direct!
One of our Facilitators has broken down in the The Acropolis system, without it,
entire galaxies no longer receive the signal from our main transmitter here in The Acropolis! We need someone to replace it
... not quite replace it, but deliver a shipment of supplies so Diocles 3000 there can construct a new one and restore the signal!
You'll do it? Ok! This was a basic facilitator, so there aren't too many supplies needed. Let me call up the list."
Oenopides 3000 brings up a window on his computer console. "Ok, you'll need 100 Metals, 100 Microchips, 50 Psion Icicles,
and 1 Basic Energy Augmenter. You have that? Good! Now hurry, we can't let the signal be down for long,
people will notice and they might get upset ... and even attack us! I don't want to die,
I've only 30 years of research under my belt, I have at least another 50 left in me! Please hurry!"

* Experience given.
* Reward: Honorary Mention
* Reward Skill: Augmenter Tweaking through lvl 7

*Agent: Diocles 3000
*Mission: Tweakage Facilitator

Tweakage Facilitator

"You've made very good time Simon. What's that you say? Oenopides 3000 told you it was a matter of paramount importance?
Ha ha ha! He's always been a paranoid, extremely worried about dying I suppose. No, this could have waited a bit
I sent out a subspace transponder alerting anyone who might make use of the signal that it was down for a while,
and they should take proper precautions. There was no danger to The Acropolis at all! Regardless, thank you Simon.
Ah yes, I was forgetting something! The neurotraining booth is right over there.
I'll set it to allow increased access to our Augmenter Tweakage knowledge!"

====Level 8====

Location: Parthenon, Acropolis
*Agent: Geminus 3000
*Mission: The Next Level!

The Next Level!

"Ah yes, so I am treated with a visit by our brighest Field Researcher, Simon. Most excellent indeed.
Now it seems you have quite the skill when it comes to collecting Augmenters and related items for us, hmmm?
Yes, I think I can put that skill to a supurb use. We at The Acropolis are looking to obtain a complete set of Basic Augmenter Condensors,
and we are missing quite a few. Hmm.." Geminus 3000 heads over to a computer terminal and brings up a list which he goes over.
"Actually, I think would save time if I simply told you what Basic Augmenter Condensors we don't need,
yes that makes perfect sense. Hmm? What's this? Oh my, well... that was a waste of time! It turns out we need them all!
Pity there aren't as many pilots as good at finding these items are you are. It would be very nice to speed this process up a bit.
Then again, if there were... you might be out of a job!"

A shorter balding man with glasses addresses you. "Simon, after talking with my fellows, I can safely say you have been of great help to our research.
So, I think I will ask to you help me with my personal project. According to some data I downloaded from the Earthforce Central Computers,
the Blue Beta used by the Blue Pirates has rather low visibility. This according to them is directally due to the effects of an Augmenter!
If you could bring me a fairly large sample of this Augmenter, I would be much obliged."

says Apollonius 3000, a statuesque man with a neatly trimmed red beard.
"Now, we have learned all there is to learn about the Standard grade Augmenters,
so I believe it is time to advance our research! It is time to take it to the next level!"

To confound matters even more, it would seem that most of the Augmenters found thus far are dedicated to the Olympian Gods,

Augmenter Research.

So you say that Ptolemy 3000 sent you to learn about Augmenters? Most wonderful indeed!
Understanding Augmenters is a very important matter, so it's extremely wonderful that you came to study.
Now, where to start. Ah of course, the beginning! Augmenters are a rather unique class of items,
and they have the power to alter your ship considerably.
Each Augmenter has a combination of upgrades, and each upgrade will change one of your ships primary statistics.
Be it shielding, energy, damage or even tractor beams, there is an Augmenter that can modify the properties of it!
So you see, by using Augmenters you can customize your ship to you standards.
Hmm? Ready to leave already?! There is still quite a bit about Augmenters you don't know yet, you really should stay!
Now where was I? Ah, yes! Each ship has an Augmenter rating,
and this determines the number of Augmenters that you can attach to it.
A ship with an Augmenter Rating of two can equip two augmenters, with four, four augmenters, it's rather simple indeed.
You must be careful when equipping Augmenters though, they cannot be removed!
Since a ship has a limited number of Augmenters it can equip, and Augmenters cannot be removed,
it is of paramount importance that you think before you decide to use one!
You wouldn't want to use an Augmenter that you would regret later would you now?
My, you do have a very short attention span, don't you?
Well, if you must leave now I guess I can keep the reward I had for you... So you're staying then? Wonderful!
Well.. to continue! A ship's Augmenter Rating is not the only thing that defines the Augmenters you can use on it,
the ship's general Tech Level also has a role. You may only equip an augmenter of equal or lower Tech Level to that of your ship.
So if you happen to use a Tech Level 3 ship, it can only use Tech Level 3 or lower augmenters.
Now then, since I have imparted most of my Augmenter knowledge to you, I have a rather special reward.
Of course! It's an Augmenter! Well, make good use of it, and be sure to come back to see me if you have any further questions,
perhaps after you are a bit more expirenced. Good Luck Simon!

*Agent: Menelaus 3000
*Mission: Augmenter Tweaking!

Augmenter Tweaking!

So Simon, there is something else you would like to know concerning augmenters?! Wonderful!
Now, there was something that I didn't touch upon when I first talked to you, and I would be more than willing to share it with you... well,
except this time I think I'll require an object lesson. Yes, that means you need to get me an object,
but not just any object ... I require some Augmenters! Now, if you can bring me back 1 Minor Docking,
I'll explain a very new concept in Augmenter sciences, a rather strange skill called Augmenter Tweaking.
Well? Interested in enlightening yourself?

* Experience given.
* Reward Skill: Augmenter Tweaking through lvl 1
(requires 1 skill point)

Summary
Bring Menelaus 3000 1 Minor Docking Augmenter.

Location: Nexus Station, Nexus
*Agent: Menelaus 3000
*Mission: Augmenter Tweaking!

Augmenter Tweaking!

"Augmenter Tweaking is a very unique skill indeed. You see, recentally we at Lyceum found a very strange sun in an unnamed galaxy,
so we promptly set up a research station. The discovery of a new class of sun doesn't usually require such intensive research,
but this sun was unique and it had some very odd properties!
This sun actually releases bursts of energy that have a very strange and helpful effect on Augmenters!
Realizing the worth of such energies yet again, all our top Augmenter researchers set about to harness that power,
and after many months of stressful and difficult effort we managed to construct a
transmitter that channels and redirects the Augmenter Wave bursts all across the universe!
Yes! This means anyone that understands how to harness the A Waves Bursts
we transmit can make use of them anywhere in the known universe!
Now that you have the background information, time for the lesson.
The Minor Docking Augmenter that you brough upon my request has a special modification to your ships docking speed.
It can offer a 300% docking bonus I beleive, correct? Now, I have a fair bit of knowledge on how to utilize the augmenter energies,
that are channeled from that strange star, so just watch."
Menelaus 3000 makes a few modifications to the Augmenter you brought him,
including what looks like the addition of a transceiver assembly. He then presents the augmenter to you.
"You see?! By making a few modifications to the Augmenter, and adding a transceiver that will absorb the Augmenter wave bursts,
I have increased the effectiveness of the Augmenter by 10%! Since this is such a powerful ability,
I will only share a little with you at first, but as time progresses and you learn more of the universe,
no doubt we from Lyceum will begin to explain and share even more of this remarkable ability!
Now if you would just step into my Neurotraining booth over there, this will only hurt a little ... but you'll learn something!"

====Level 2====

*Agent: Menelaus 3000
*Mission: Tweakage Facilitator

Tweakage Facilitator

Ah, welcome back Simon. I'm sure you're here to learn more about augmenters and tweaking, correct?
Well, as much as I'd like to enlighten you, I have a bit of a problem.
The Augmenter Wave burst signal is rather weak here in the Nexus, and it's something I can't quite fix without help.
Yes, that's right, I can fix the problem, I simply need to construct a Tweakage Facilitator.
What's that you say? It's simply a device that can amplify, redirect or even store an Augmenter Wave burst
in an area that doesn't receives a good signal from our research station around the star Helios.
So? Do you think you could help out this scientist with his worthy cause? You'll be rewarded of course!"

* Experience given.

Now that we have a Tweakage Facilitator in the Nexus, I think we no longer need your help here.
Don't be dissappointed, you've fared quite well indeed and I have sent word to my fellows at the Acropolis!
If you visit them there, I am sure they will have other tasks for you to complete,
and even more knowledge to impart than I could ever possibably consider offering you.
Well? Feel like learning more about augmenters Simon? Then head off to the Acropolis!

====Level 3====

*Agent: Euclid 3000
*Mission: Combined Augmenters!

Combined Augmenters!

"So, how are you doing today, Simon? I have heard that you studied with Menelaus 3000 in the Nexus,
surely the fact you are here means you must want to learn more about Augmenters. If that is so,
I have another area of Augmenter Research in which you can help us."
Euclid 3000 brings up a map of the Universe, and centers it on a system that is called Copper.
"In this system there is an independant Augmenter researcher known as Scientist Arete.
He is doing some very vital work in Augmenter Combination, a subfield of Augmenter Research that we know very little about!
Perhaps you could get him to share a sample of his work with us, so that we may all be further enlightened!
Let him know that we will disclose some of our research data in return. That is all for now."

* Experience given.
* Reward Skill: Augmenter Tweaking through lvl 3
(requires 3 skill points)

Summary
Find Scientist Arete in Copper, he is rumored to be an expert in the field of Augmenter Research.
Then try to obtain a Minor Defensive Augmenter from him so the
scientists at The Acropolis can research combination augmenter technologies.

So those Augmenter researchers examining Helios still are stumped by Augmenter Combination?
And they're willing to disclose data on Augmenter Tweakage? Yes, I think we have a deal!
I'll give them a sample of my Augmenter Combination technologies,
but I'm a bit short on augmenters right now. Can you get me the Augmenters that I need?
Bring me back a Minor Shield and a Minor Recovery and I'll set to work!

* Experience given.
* Reward: Minor Defensive Augmenter

Summary
Help Scientist Arete create a Minor Defensive Augmenter
so you can take it back to the Acropolis for Euclid 3000 and his research team to study.
Scientist Arete needs 1 Minor Shield Augmenter and 1 Minor Recovery Augmenter.

"And so you have witnesses the miracle of Augmenter Combination!
Take this Minor Defensive Augmenter back to the researchers at the Acropolis,
and tell them I await their datastream!" Scientist Arete begins to walk away,
but turns back and faces you. "Make sure you do not use that or lose that!
I will only make one of those for you, so if you lose it, you'll have to find some other way to get another!"

Location: Parthenon, Acropolis
*Agent: Euclid 3000
*Mission: Combined Augmenters!

Combined Augmenters!

"Simon, You have brought back an example of this combination technique to us? Ah, good.
Then I will have a datastream sent to Copper containing some of our latest breakthroughs!"
Euclid 3000 signals a lab assistant, and instructs him to send a transmission to Scientist Arete.
"Now, let me take this to the experts we have here on the research station,
surely with an example of this technology they can replicate and even understand it!
Perhaps we will witness a revolution in Augmenter Combination!"

====Level 4====

Location: Parthenon, Acropolis
*Agent: Euclid 3000
*Mission: The Next Level!

The Next Level!

Now that you have been fully trained in the basics of Augmenters,
I think it is finally time that I send you out for some Field Research!
You see, most of us from Lycuem are not exactally the type that would do well dealing with hostiles and cavorting about space.
We are far more useful in the laboratory ... in this nice, safe, and heavily defended spacebase!
Any why should we risk lives and in turn our vast intellectual abilities when we can always find someone else to do it for us!
Now, anyway, your first task as a field research is to find us a complete set of Minor Augmenter Condensor Blueprints.
With these we can unlock the secrets to the next level of Augmenters, the next grade, Basic!
Yes, you see, an Augmenter Condensor will upgrade augmenters by combining two of the same type!
So, with all the Minor Augmenter research we have done, we can use this set of Condensors to upgrade our work,
to as you would say, take it up a level! Oh, and Simon do not worry, you will be well rewarded if you make it back alive!

and we will begin to understand the properties of a more powerful group of Augmenters, Basic Augmenters.
Now, I will send these to some of our up and coming researchers, they needed a grad project anyway, and we will deal with your reward."
Euclid 3000 has the grad students called in, and he escorts you to another laboratory on the station.
"This is where we do a very important line of Augmenter Research, I doubt you have heard of it yet.
We have been expirementing with attaching Augmenter bonuses to normal items!
I am sure you can see the value in persuing this field of study.
Since you have completed your first task as a field researcher,

"I'm not too sure how aware of our histories you are, Simon, but we at Lyceum are an ancient order indeed,
well at least in this Quantum Universe. I'm sure in some other parallel universe we probably don't exist...
but that's beside the point. Regardless, many years ago, someone, we are not quite sure of his name,
but it was perhaps Bill or Ted, did something amazing, he built some sort of time machine!
Using this modified 'phone booth' an Ancient Earth device if you weren't aware" explains Empedocles 3000
"he plunged into the past and discretely collected DNA samples from some of the Terran 'Ancient Greeks'.
Of course it were those who eventually were to be universally reknowned for their musings, mathmatical,
scientific and astronomical breakthroughs! With DNA samples and synaptic scans in hand,
he returned to his time and cloned the original Lyceum researches,
restored their memories and explained the basis of modern scientific theory to them! Lyceum was duely established,
and this collective of enlightened minds was created! I think you understand what I mean by 'Ancient Order' now,
don't you? Now, to the point. Since all the core Lyceum researchers are descendants of the cloned ancient greats,
we honor their traditions, use their ancient names, and strive to preserve symbols of their Ancient Gods! Simon,
I have been assigned by Aristotle 3000 to create new augmenters dedicated to the Greek Gods of old,
but I need some help starting the project. I'm a bit short on supplies for the first, perhaps you could help!
Just bring me everything I require, and I shall start!"

"According to the data provided to us by Earthforce over the subspace networks developed by Alfred Gor,
the Inferno ships piloted by the Infernal Pirates are extremely fast and do a good amount of damage,
at the cost of their shielding. This effect is due to the effect of a special Augmenter that provides that effect!
Perhaps, if you could, it would be nice if you could consider possibably collecting some of this Augmenter for me?"

Tweakage Facilitators allow us to transmit the Augmenter Wave Bursts universally! Now, let me be direct!
One of our Facilitators has broken down in the The Acropolis system, without it,
entire galaxies no longer receive the signal from our main transmitter here in The Acropolis! We need someone to replace it
... not quite replace it, but deliver a shipment of supplies so Diocles 3000 there can construct a new one and restore the signal!
You'll do it? Ok! This was a basic facilitator, so there aren't too many supplies needed. Let me call up the list."
Oenopides 3000 brings up a window on his computer console. "Ok, you'll need 100 Metals, 100 Microchips, 50 Psion Icicles,
and 1 Basic Energy Augmenter. You have that? Good! Now hurry, we can't let the signal be down for long,
people will notice and they might get upset ... and even attack us! I don't want to die,
I've only 30 years of research under my belt, I have at least another 50 left in me! Please hurry!"

Ha ha ha! He's always been a paranoid, extremely worried about dying I suppose. No, this could have waited a bit
I sent out a subspace transponder alerting anyone who might make use of the signal that it was down for a while,
and they should take proper precautions. There was no danger to The Acropolis at all! Regardless, thank you Simon.

and we are missing quite a few. Hmm.." Geminus 3000 heads over to a computer terminal and brings up a list which he goes over.
"Actually, I think would save time if I simply told you what Basic Augmenter Condensors we don't need,
yes that makes perfect sense. Hmm? What's this? Oh my, well... that was a waste of time! It turns out we need them all!

like how we have not been making as many breakthroughs in esoteric and useless fields of science!
Yes, now is not the time for talk, now is the time for action, I must complete my mission, and now!

We have reference material from an ancient Greek epic that labels Calypso as a mythological Sea Nymph, but we have conflicting lore!
According to another reference, Calypso is the daughter of Helios and Perse the Oceanid!
To confound matters even more, it would seem that most of the Augmenters found thus far are dedicated to the Olympian Gods,
not minor figures in our ancient mythologies so we cannot determine this Augmenters affiliation or origin at all!

Augmenter Tweaking Missions

2011-05-29T21:53:18Z

Hakongul: /* Level 1 */

These missions walk you through the various aspects of augmenters and augmenter creation to allow you to advance the honorable skill of [[Augmenter Tweaking]].

====Introduction====

The first mision requires a level 5 character to start it.

'''Requires level 5 character to start!''' 
Location: Cadet Academy, Cadet Academy
*Agent: Ptolemy 3000
*Mission: Augmenter Research.

Augmenter Research.

As you are sitting at the bar in Cadet Academy, a thin man with glasses approaches you.
"Hello there. You seem to be a rather promising pilot, perhaps I could intrest you with a remarkable proposal!
I am Ptolemy 3000 from Lyceum and I was sent here to find pilots to help us with our field research.
If you decide to help us out we will more than make it worth your time.
So, how does that sound, will you help us advance the knowledge of the universe? Wonderful!
Since you will be working with a very unique type of item, Augmenters, it is best that you know all about them.
I will send Menelaus 3000 at Nexus Station a transmission saying you are going to arrive there,
he will be more than pleased to share his knowledge with you!

*Experience given.
*Reward: Lyceum Initiate Augmenter

Summary
Go meet with Menelaus 3000 in The Nexus, he will teach you about all he knows about Augmenters.

Location: Nexus Station, Nexus
*Agent: Menelaus 3000
*Mission: Augmenter Research

Augmenter Research.

So you say that Ptolemy 3000 sent you to learn about Augmenters? Most wonderful indeed!
Understanding Augmenters is a very important matter, so it's extremely wonderful that you came to study.
Now, where to start. Ah of course, the beginning! Augmenters are a rather unique class of items,
and they have the power to alter your ship considerably.
Each Augmenter has a combination of upgrades, and each upgrade will change one of your ships primary statistics.
Be it shielding, energy, damage or even tractor beams, there is an Augmenter that can modify the properties of it!
So you see, by using Augmenters you can customize your ship to you standards.
Hmm? Ready to leave already?! There is still quite a bit about Augmenters you don't know yet, you really should stay!
Now where was I? Ah, yes! Each ship has an Augmenter rating,
and this determines the number of Augmenters that you can attach to it.
A ship with an Augmenter Rating of two can equip two augmenters, with four, four augmenters, it's rather simple indeed.
You must be careful when equipping Augmenters though, they cannot be removed!
Since a ship has a limited number of Augmenters it can equip, and Augmenters cannot be removed,
it is of paramount importance that you think before you decide to use one!
You wouldn't want to use an Augmenter that you would regret later would you now?
My, you do have a very short attention span, don't you?
Well, if you must leave now I guess I can keep the reward I had for you... So you're staying then? Wonderful!
Well.. to continue! A ship's Augmenter Rating is not the only thing that defines the Augmenters you can use on it,
the ship's general Tech Level also has a role. You may only equip an augmenter of equal or lower Tech Level to that of your ship.
So if you happen to use a Tech Level 3 ship, it can only use Tech Level 3 or lower augmenters.
Now then, since I have imparted most of my Augmenter knowledge to you, I have a rather special reward.
Of course! It's an Augmenter! Well, make good use of it, and be sure to come back to see me if you have any further questions,
perhaps after you are a bit more expirenced. Good Luck Simon!

====Level 1====

'''Requires level 10 character to start!''' 
Location: Nexus Recruitment Centre, Nexus
*Agent: Menelaus 3000
*Mission: Augmenter Tweaking!

Augmenter Tweaking!

So Simon, there is something else you would like to know concerning augmenters?! Wonderful!
Now, there was something that I didn't touch upon when I first talked to you, and I would be more than willing to share it with you... well,
except this time I think I'll require an object lesson. Yes, that means you need to get me an object,
but not just any object ... I require some Augmenters! Now, if you can bring me back 1 Minor Docking,
I'll explain a very new concept in Augmenter sciences, a rather strange skill called Augmenter Tweaking.
Well? Interested in enlightening yourself?

* Experience given.
* Reward Skill: Augmenter Tweaking through lvl 1
(requires 1 skill point)

Summary
Bring Menelaus 3000 1 Minor Docking Augmenter.

Location: Nexus Station, Nexus
*Agent: Menelaus 3000
*Mission: Augmenter Tweaking!

Augmenter Tweaking!

"Augmenter Tweaking is a very unique skill indeed. You see, recentally we at Lyceum found a very strange sun in an unnamed galaxy,
so we promptly set up a research station. The discovery of a new class of sun doesn't usually require such intensive research,
but this sun was unique and it had some very odd properties!
This sun actually releases bursts of energy that have a very strange and helpful effect on Augmenters!
Realizing the worth of such energies yet again, all our top Augmenter researchers set about to harness that power,
and after many months of stressful and difficult effort we managed to construct a
transmitter that channels and redirects the Augmenter Wave bursts all across the universe!
Yes! This means anyone that understands how to harness the A Waves Bursts
we transmit can make use of them anywhere in the known universe!
Now that you have the background information, time for the lesson.
The Minor Docking Augmenter that you brough upon my request has a special modification to your ships docking speed.
It can offer a 300% docking bonus I beleive, correct? Now, I have a fair bit of knowledge on how to utilize the augmenter energies,
that are channeled from that strange star, so just watch."
Menelaus 3000 makes a few modifications to the Augmenter you brought him,
including what looks like the addition of a transceiver assembly. He then presents the augmenter to you.
"You see?! By making a few modifications to the Augmenter, and adding a transceiver that will absorb the Augmenter wave bursts,
I have increased the effectiveness of the Augmenter by 10%! Since this is such a powerful ability,
I will only share a little with you at first, but as time progresses and you learn more of the universe,
no doubt we from Lyceum will begin to explain and share even more of this remarkable ability!
Now if you would just step into my Neurotraining booth over there, this will only hurt a little ... but you'll learn something!"

====Level 2====

Location: Nexus Station, Nexus
*Agent: Menelaus 3000
*Mission: Tweakage Facilitator

Tweakage Facilitator

Ah, welcome back Simon. I'm sure you're here to learn more about augmenters and tweaking, correct?
Well, as much as I'd like to enlighten you, I have a bit of a problem.
The Augmenter Wave burst signal is rather weak here in the Nexus, and it's something I can't quite fix without help.
Yes, that's right, I can fix the problem, I simply need to construct a Tweakage Facilitator.
What's that you say? It's simply a device that can amplify, redirect or even store an Augmenter Wave burst
in an area that doesn't receives a good signal from our research station around the star Helios.
So? Do you think you could help out this scientist with his worthy cause? You'll be rewarded of course!"

* Experience given.

Now that we have a Tweakage Facilitator in the Nexus, I think we no longer need your help here.
Don't be dissappointed, you've fared quite well indeed and I have sent word to my fellows at the Acropolis!
If you visit them there, I am sure they will have other tasks for you to complete,
and even more knowledge to impart than I could ever possibably consider offering you.
Well? Feel like learning more about augmenters Simon? Then head off to the Acropolis!

====Level 3====

Location: Parthenon, Acropolis
*Agent: Euclid 3000
*Mission: Combined Augmenters!

Combined Augmenters!

"So, how are you doing today, Simon? I have heard that you studied with Menelaus 3000 in the Nexus,
surely the fact you are here means you must want to learn more about Augmenters. If that is so,
I have another area of Augmenter Research in which you can help us."
Euclid 3000 brings up a map of the Universe, and centers it on a system that is called Copper.
"In this system there is an independant Augmenter researcher known as Scientist Arete.
He is doing some very vital work in Augmenter Combination, a subfield of Augmenter Research that we know very little about!
Perhaps you could get him to share a sample of his work with us, so that we may all be further enlightened!
Let him know that we will disclose some of our research data in return. That is all for now."

* Experience given.
* Reward Skill: Augmenter Tweaking through lvl 3
(requires 3 skill points)

Summary
Find Scientist Arete in Copper, he is rumored to be an expert in the field of Augmenter Research.
Then try to obtain a Minor Defensive Augmenter from him so the
scientists at The Acropolis can research combination augmenter technologies.

So those Augmenter researchers examining Helios still are stumped by Augmenter Combination?
And they're willing to disclose data on Augmenter Tweakage? Yes, I think we have a deal!
I'll give them a sample of my Augmenter Combination technologies,
but I'm a bit short on augmenters right now. Can you get me the Augmenters that I need?
Bring me back a Minor Shield and a Minor Recovery and I'll set to work!

* Experience given.
* Reward: Minor Defensive Augmenter

Summary
Help Scientist Arete create a Minor Defensive Augmenter
so you can take it back to the Acropolis for Euclid 3000 and his research team to study.
Scientist Arete needs 1 Minor Shield Augmenter and 1 Minor Recovery Augmenter.

"And so you have witnesses the miracle of Augmenter Combination!
Take this Minor Defensive Augmenter back to the researchers at the Acropolis,
and tell them I await their datastream!" Scientist Arete begins to walk away,
but turns back and faces you. "Make sure you do not use that or lose that!
I will only make one of those for you, so if you lose it, you'll have to find some other way to get another!"

Location: Parthenon, Acropolis
*Agent: Euclid 3000
*Mission: Combined Augmenters!

Combined Augmenters!

"Simon, You have brought back an example of this combination technique to us? Ah, good.
Then I will have a datastream sent to Copper containing some of our latest breakthroughs!"
Euclid 3000 signals a lab assistant, and instructs him to send a transmission to Scientist Arete.
"Now, let me take this to the experts we have here on the research station,
surely with an example of this technology they can replicate and even understand it!
Perhaps we will witness a revolution in Augmenter Combination!"

====Level 4====

Location: Parthenon, Acropolis
*Agent: Euclid 3000
*Mission: The Next Level!

The Next Level!

Now that you have been fully trained in the basics of Augmenters,
I think it is finally time that I send you out for some Field Research!
You see, most of us from Lycuem are not exactally the type that would do well dealing with hostiles and cavorting about space.
We are far more useful in the laboratory ... in this nice, safe, and heavily defended spacebase!
Any why should we risk lives and in turn our vast intellectual abilities when we can always find someone else to do it for us!
Now, anyway, your first task as a field research is to find us a complete set of Minor Augmenter Condensor Blueprints.
With these we can unlock the secrets to the next level of Augmenters, the next grade, Basic!
Yes, you see, an Augmenter Condensor will upgrade augmenters by combining two of the same type!
So, with all the Minor Augmenter research we have done, we can use this set of Condensors to upgrade our work,
to as you would say, take it up a level! Oh, and Simon do not worry, you will be well rewarded if you make it back alive!

* Experience given.

and we will begin to understand the properties of a more powerful group of Augmenters, Basic Augmenters.
Now, I will send these to some of our up and coming researchers, they needed a grad project anyway, and we will deal with your reward."
Euclid 3000 has the grad students called in, and he escorts you to another laboratory on the station.
"This is where we do a very important line of Augmenter Research, I doubt you have heard of it yet.
We have been expirementing with attaching Augmenter bonuses to normal items!
I am sure you can see the value in persuing this field of study.
Since you have completed your first task as a field researcher,
I am going to give you an item that makes use of this revolutionary new technology!

"I'm not too sure how aware of our histories you are, Simon, but we at Lyceum are an ancient order indeed,
well at least in this Quantum Universe. I'm sure in some other parallel universe we probably don't exist...
but that's beside the point. Regardless, many years ago, someone, we are not quite sure of his name,
but it was perhaps Bill or Ted, did something amazing, he built some sort of time machine!
Using this modified 'phone booth' an Ancient Earth device if you weren't aware" explains Empedocles 3000
"he plunged into the past and discretely collected DNA samples from some of the Terran 'Ancient Greeks'.
Of course it were those who eventually were to be universally reknowned for their musings, mathmatical,
scientific and astronomical breakthroughs! With DNA samples and synaptic scans in hand,
he returned to his time and cloned the original Lyceum researches,
restored their memories and explained the basis of modern scientific theory to them! Lyceum was duely established,
and this collective of enlightened minds was created! I think you understand what I mean by 'Ancient Order' now,
don't you? Now, to the point. Since all the core Lyceum researchers are descendants of the cloned ancient greats,
we honor their traditions, use their ancient names, and strive to preserve symbols of their Ancient Gods! Simon,
I have been assigned by Aristotle 3000 to create new augmenters dedicated to the Greek Gods of old,
but I need some help starting the project. I'm a bit short on supplies for the first, perhaps you could help!
Just bring me everything I require, and I shall start!"

"According to the data provided to us by Earthforce over the subspace networks developed by Alfred Gor,
the Inferno ships piloted by the Infernal Pirates are extremely fast and do a good amount of damage,
at the cost of their shielding. This effect is due to the effect of a special Augmenter that provides that effect!
Perhaps, if you could, it would be nice if you could consider possibably collecting some of this Augmenter for me?"

"It was Menelaus 3000 that explained the Tweakage Facilitators to you, was it not? Regardless, you understand the concept right?
Tweakage Facilitators allow us to transmit the Augmenter Wave Bursts universally! Now, let me be direct!
One of our Facilitators has broken down in the The Acropolis system, without it,
entire galaxies no longer receive the signal from our main transmitter here in The Acropolis! We need someone to replace it
... not quite replace it, but deliver a shipment of supplies so Diocles 3000 there can construct a new one and restore the signal!
You'll do it? Ok! This was a basic facilitator, so there aren't too many supplies needed. Let me call up the list."
Oenopides 3000 brings up a window on his computer console. "Ok, you'll need 100 Metals, 100 Microchips, 50 Psion Icicles,
and 1 Basic Energy Augmenter. You have that? Good! Now hurry, we can't let the signal be down for long,
people will notice and they might get upset ... and even attack us! I don't want to die,
I've only 30 years of research under my belt, I have at least another 50 left in me! Please hurry!"

Ha ha ha! He's always been a paranoid, extremely worried about dying I suppose. No, this could have waited a bit
I sent out a subspace transponder alerting anyone who might make use of the signal that it was down for a while,
and they should take proper precautions. There was no danger to The Acropolis at all! Regardless, thank you Simon.
Ah yes, I was forgetting something! The neurotraining booth is right over there.

Yes, I think I can put that skill to a supurb use. We at The Acropolis are looking to obtain a complete set of Basic Augmenter Condensors,
and we are missing quite a few. Hmm.." Geminus 3000 heads over to a computer terminal and brings up a list which he goes over.
"Actually, I think would save time if I simply told you what Basic Augmenter Condensors we don't need,
yes that makes perfect sense. Hmm? What's this? Oh my, well... that was a waste of time! It turns out we need them all!

and a portion of the universe is without Tweaking! Just imagine the horrors, ships that slow down, hulls that compress,
shields that being to falter and fail, it must be utter madness! Simon, I think it would be best if someone dealt with this matter,

Do you have any idea how ill equipped our complaint department is?
It would be tradegy if they were to be stuck with even ten subspace messages concerning this!
Oh, the weeks of sorting out details, filing all sorts of red tape, and ignoring important complaints,
like how we have not been making as many breakthroughs in esoteric and useless fields of science!
Yes, now is not the time for talk, now is the time for action, I must complete my mission, and now!
Oh, if you would like, we could have a leisurely stroll down to the docking bay and watch my workers unload your supplies,

We have reference material from an ancient Greek epic that labels Calypso as a mythological Sea Nymph, but we have conflicting lore!
According to another reference, Calypso is the daughter of Helios and Perse the Oceanid!
To confound matters even more, it would seem that most of the Augmenters found thus far are dedicated to the Olympian Gods,
