Essence of theNexus (Beyond the Impossible)

Drinking this Essence causes you to receive access to all the information shared by the collective consciousness of a planet's population & an immense boost to your intellect.

• A metallic Drylon Device shaped like the Infinity symbol called the Nexus is implanted inside you head. The Nexus is permanently connected to your brain at the quantum level & will mutate it considerably, making it unrecognizable from a normal human brain.

• The Nexus fuses with your brain on a metaphysical level. The Nexus is unable to be removed or even interacted by anyone except by you. It'll never be damaged, broken in any way.

• The Nexus cannot be suppressed, copied, altered, nullified or affected negatively against your will & will not malfunction or have control loss of.

• You'll have full knowledge of how it works & the best way to use it.

• You have access to all human knowledge & can retrieve any information or skill instantly required. Your Worldmind is connected to the Collective Unconsciousness, giving you access to the sum total of human knowledge that has existed until now. This ability only works on planets however it you cannot access the Worldmind from space or alternate dimensions that's not planetside. But once you've landed on the planet you can access that data from anywhere regardless of the location.

  • This database updates from any Earth in the multiverse that you visit be it Marvel Earth, DC Earth, Xeelee Earth, etc.

  • It's not limited to Earth & can access the Worldmind any habited planet that you visit whether it be human or alien.

• You'll gain the following mental abilities.

  • The ability to perceive exactly which variables in a complex system need to be adjusted & how they should be adjusted, to result in an outcome that you find desirable & perform them accurately.

  • The ability to perceive & comprehend patterns, connections, & multi-variable processes to a degree far beyond the ability of human minds. Using Oversight, you can easily detect patterns in seemingly random images or unrelated events, & perceive and understand the operations & interrelationships of even exceedingly large & complex processes.

  • Hyper-creativity. It refers to the ability to continuously engage in creative leaps with no apparent intermediate steps.

  • Turing Oracle- A method for determining whether a given program ever halts. Access to a Turing Oracle is near-godlike computing power. Allows efficient ways of finding solutions to NP-complete problems.

  • Sherlock Scan: The ability to extrapolate an incredible amount of inference from the smallest trace of data. Such as determining someone's PIN from the way they dress. You'll need to have some information about the target to be begin with & your enhanced intuition fills in the gaps in your knowledge, allowing you to crack computer passwords, profiles, get a cold read on people around you & by combing this with the Hannibal Lecture allows you to blackmail enemies by revealing their secrets & weaknesses & make predictions about the most likely outcome of a given situation among other things. It isn't perfect though: you're still capable of drawing wrong conclusions & the chances of doing so increase the farther the leaps in logic you make. Furthermore, if you start from false information, you'll of course draw false conclusion based on it.

  • Awesome by Analysis: Capable of calm analysis of conditions such as stress points, fracture planes or weaknesses physical or psychological in persons or objects around you even when in danger & deduce an appropriate course of action after considering all possibilities to escape from a predicament. Need to make a million-to-one shot to stop the Doomsday Device from exploding the world, but have never even fired a gun? Just run off some mental calculations about your gun's firing speed, friction, gravity, and the slightly-off-kilter scope, & it's a done deal. Need to defeat a jujitsu master? Logically anticipate where his next strike will come from and remain one step ahead. So long as there's even a 1% chance of a comeback.

  • Hyper Awareness: You make lightning-fast deductions based on only the slightest clue, pattern, or scrap of memory resident in your mind. You can make reasonable statements about a person, place, or object, seemingly from very little knowledge. However, your knowledge is in fact the result of a rigorously logical process that you force your mind to undertake, digging up and correlating every possible piece of knowledge bearing on the topic. The nature of the knowledge you gain concerning the subject of your analysis might include the answer to a riddle, the way out of a maze, stray bits of information about a person, legends about a place or an object, or even a conclusion concerning a dilemma that your conscious mind is unable to arrive at.

    • You become fully aware of their environment in minute detail, limited only by the type and range of their available sensory apparatus. They also convert information on their surroundings into patterns, but this process occurs millions of times faster under normal conditions and may happen hundreds of millions of times faster if overclocking is used.

    • You'll know how many people are in the area, what they are doing, which ones are important to the plot & what would be the best exit without attracting attention. You can identify every illicit affair at a high society event through scent. Discern someone's lifegoals & Berserk Buttons just by looking at them, or knowing how everyone in a group relates to each other person. Pick out a single person standing on top of a skyscraper while being on the ground. Pick out single people in perfect detail from kilometers away, & can instantly identify & discern all details of crafted objects that instinctively lets you know how something is broken, where it is broken and how to fix it just by touch or through a cursory glance.

  • You gain the ability to memorize any technique that you witness a person performing down to the finest detail. This also allows the user to pick up on subtle details, enabling them to read lip movements or mimic something like pencil movements.

    • Tasks can be mastered after merely observing them being performed, even if no effort at teaching is being made.

    • Comprehensible information or skill set can be learned and applied perfectly after a single lesson.

  • Mental Self-Modification: Modify your mental state and structure almost at will. This can range from adjusting their emotions and personality (e.g., making yourself more patient, more or less empathetic, etc.) to how you perceive sensory input (e.g., tasting sounds or smelling colors) to incorporating and combining the mental structures and outlook of up to hundreds of millions of (sometimes radically) different life forms, both human & alien, if circumstances warrant it.

    • You can analyze and even dissect their own thinking processes and routinely employ parallel streams of thought - thinking about thousands or millions of different things at the same time. Any changes that occur in their thinking process are assimilated almost instantly. You may routinely observe their own thought processes from multiple internal points of view.

    • You can focus its entire attention on a single subject or repetitive task without getting bored or distracted, or spread its awareness across anything up to billions of different activities, locations, sensors, and bodies at will. This number can be increased even further if a lower level of processing is devoted to some or all foci of attention or reduced if a greater level of processing is used for some or all foci. Much like its senses, you can shift its attention from place to place, focusing and diffusing it, at will and in an instant.

    • You can not only divide their attention and awareness across billions of inputs, but also their perception of time. You might speed up its perception of the passage of time in one part of its mind, taking subjective hours to watch the fall of a single drop of rain, while slowing down another portion of its mind to observe the growth of a tree over a period of subjective minutes or seconds. At any given moment, you can might be operating hundreds of millions of points of attention at customized time rates for one reason or another.

• You remember with perfect detail everything you have witness or learned. Memories prior to drinking this Essence are much less clear & detailed.

• Your brain is billions of times faster than a normal human's, giving you enhanced pattern solving, information retrieval & logical structuring. You can even hold multiple lines of thought simultaneously.

  • You mind operates like a hypercomputer, capable of rapidly & without mechanical aid perform an infinite number of unimaginable complex and simultaneous calculations, in your mind with minimal stimuli.

  • You can quickly, simultaneously and perfectly analyze multiple information streams (e.g. threat assessment) & rapidly respond to changing tactical situations, by identifying the variables and quantum possibilities in any situation, & use this information to adjust the outcome to whichever is most favorable to you. Because your mind operates like a hypercomputer; you can process information quickly & this gives you a hyper-accelerated learning aptitude.

  • You also possesses limitless information storage and retrieval, enhanced pattern solving/recognition, extremely high perception, and observational skills, perfect deductive/reasoning skills and investigative skills, superhuman strategic/tactical analytical skills, & an eidetic memory.

• The Nexus gives you perfect/ infinite memory & processing power with instant recall, indexing creativity & learning capability.

• Gain practically infinite trains of thought and ability to multitask.

  • The thing about super-human knowledge and intellect, is that often you don't get a super-human brain to put it in, and there's only so much room in there. As your brainpower goes up, your survival rate goes down. The Nexus takes care of all that, preventing a My Skull Runneth Over situation. Which would cause you to die either by hemorrhage, cranial explosion, or body strain from mental overload. It'll also protect you from non-fatal situations, such as madness, head-splitting migraines, overwriting of memories or knowledge, or permanent brain damage.

• Rendered immune to memetic hazards, infohazards, psychic assaults, possession, being devoured by a hivemind, loss of identity/individuality, brainwashing, mental deterioration, mind control, insanity, lobotomy, split personality takeover, mind viruses, lotus eater machines, thought weapons, mind traps, self-aware ideas, basilisk hacks, having your mind sealed, interfered with, or affected negatively at all. Your mind is your own.

  • You're immune to having your memory destroyed, altered, erased, or otherwise tampered with, without your direct permission without duress.

• You get a onetime change to the color of your eyes. They can be any color you desire either from the normal spectrum or even something more exotic such as rainbow, colorless, negative, or some eldritch color.

• The Nexus provides you with the following abilities.

  • Self-powered brain: Your brain is powered independently from your body. You won't feel mental fatigue unless connecting to the Worldmind for extended periods and requires very little sleep, averaging less than one hour per day, though you can go for several days without sleep if required. Your brain unique physiology gives you immunity to the intoxicating effects of alcohol.

  • Eye flash: Your eyes are connected directly to the Nexus's power source, lighting up when you're accessing your superhuman intelligence or the Worldmind. This can be toggled at will. Sudden emotions, especially anger, can trigger the eye flash; it can also be activated consciously for intimidation. The more the brain is working, the brighter the flash. By overclocking your brain with random calculations, you can increase the brightness to blinding levels; it can be sustained for a very brief time without damaging the eyes.

  • Connection to the Blood: You have limited access to the Blood, a universal energy field that connects all biological matter. You can use the connection to communicate with other Blood users and has limited control over weapons created with Blood energy, although you can't create them on your own.

  • Soul resonance: Using the connection to the Blood, you can overcharge the Nexus and boost its power considerably, provided that you has an external power source. This has a heavy impact on the body.

• You can create mental connections with other people to share knowledge, skills, & abilities with. This connection can be severed at any time.

  • Knowledge has to be shared by a thousand people minimum to be shared to your network.

  • People whom you connect with form a network hivemind capable of communicating with at any time. If properly applied, you could a society like that of the Helios Ending of Deus Ex.

  • People whom you form connection with cannot hurt or plot against you in any way.

• Your Nexus won't cause the usual mental deterioration from sustained use of Drylon tech, such as anger management & the rise of alternate personalities. You won't be reliant on the Nexus for survival such as dying from it being damaged or removed. Electromagnetic pulses won't disable or destroy it & using it at peak performance for prolong periods won't cause it to overheat, causing neurological damage & potentially causing your head to explode.

• You start off with all the inventions that Noriko Null has built in the series. From the Genius Gun, Ais, FTL drive, to Null Tower. You can summon them to any location of your choosing.

  • If destroyed or lost it will simply reappear next time you try to summon them.

• You also receive complete blueprint for all Drylon Tech to appear in the series so far. Building & activating them is up to you.
