Vikna - Training (Patreon)
Content
So this was a fun request from Evangellos. A 'Lore' category one that I feel I can do without spoilering stuff for future story:
In the Rishan Galaxy, Tau radiation emits from the galactic core's supermassive black hole. Neutrinos are subatomic particles that pass through matter uninhibited. Normally this is fine and causes no issue. In the galaxy, there are a few people however, born with a blood condition that 'captures' tau particles and over years, the buildup starts causing ailments. The reason and function behind this is still being researched. In the past, people would eventually die, and the reason unknown, but in the current era, implants and augmentations both can help a person disperse the radiation.
In more advanced scenarios, one -could-, if they wanted to, use and practice with implants to expell, move and manipulate the atoms around them to alter energy states, bonds, and so on. Why would someone want to, if it was largely unnecessary and difficult? In Vikna's case, it had been her dream to serve her country after what she had been through, and Katric does not normally permit those with this blood condition to enlist, unless they can prove mastery and elimination of it as a liability. During the course of her training to do this (above), she runs into a problem even fewer have- her ceiling with this is very high...
More about her and all that will be a big part of her angle of the story, whenever i get to it.. hopefully sooner rather than later, haha. I hope this part was kind of entertaining!
