The Secrets of a Ghost

[Erzie]

Back From the Grave

With his new found surge of righteousness, and his mind revitalized from neglecting the Omicrons, James spent a large portion of his spare time studying further into energy and particle physics. Deeper and deeper he went down the rabbit hole, testing what he could with what he had. Testing small theories until he could no longer progress. He knew he could not make an impact alone, to which he decided to seek out an old friend.

Raven probably had her own worries, but that would not stop James from getting back in touch. This was the first step. As far as James was concerned, he wanted the Order to believe he was dead for as long as possible, because when they finally discover he isn't, they'll likely come looking for what they claim is theirs. Raven would not be the only friend he would seek out, as Finn McCool was also among those he trusted. If IRG and Auxesia would back his work, he would have almost all of the resources to do any manner of developments. Weaponry was his key focus, as power cells were only a small portion of issues ships would have against the imposing alien threat, and the IRG had a good solution for that issues as it was. If you put enough power behind a big enough conventional weapon, you can go a long way, but if you think a bit more creatively, a new weapon line entirely could be arranged.

James knew Azurite would reveal a new craze of military technology, he just didn't have all the pieces when studying the solid. Now that a gas form is available, much more can be done, to which he is now devoting much of his time studying.
