An explosion in Antarctica vaporized the entire continent. The resulting tidal waves killed billions worldwide and flooded coastal regions of every continent. Worse yet, the very axis of the Earth itself was permanently shifted, causing a global climate change that devastated crops and added incredible strain to already decimated regions. In the following devastation, many countries and governments collapsed entirely as the United Nations struggled to hold humanity together. Rioting and war became common as vital resources disappeared virtually overnight. The months following Second Impact left no one unscathed, and all told only half of the human race survived the disaster and our resulting fear- induced stupidity. It was years before the situation stabilized enough for the UN to mount an expedition to ground zero to investigate the explosion. A report was published, proving that Second Impact was the result of a 4-inch meteorite traveling at 95% of the speed of light, much too small and traveling far too quickly to have been detected before its devastating collision with the Earth’s South Pole. To this day, all but the most well -informed of individuals believe this. In truth, Second Impact was caused by the awakening and subsequent defeat of a powerful being since labeled “Adam”. A being older than life on Earth, and of extraterrestrial origin. Adam was the first. He was not the last. Humanity is under threat again, and if even a single battle is lost it could mean the end of the entire human race. That fate of the world is in your hands. Don’t fuck it up. 1 What am I looking at? Adeptus Evangelion is a modification of the Dark Heresy Roleplaying Game ruleset geared for running games in the world of Neon Genesis Evangelion. Inspired by the fanfiction “Shinji and Warhammer40k” by Charles Bhepin, Adeptus Evangelion brings the grim dark brutality of the 41st millennium to Earth’s defense in its darkest hour. The players take the role of the pilots of Evangelions, colossal living chimeras of alien and human DNA, covered in armor and bent to Humanity's will. It is a dangerous position, and not just for the obvious reasons. The fact that your character can Synchronize with the creature makes you a very special person. It’s probably for the best if you don’t ask about the test pilots either. Or why Mom left. It is important to note here that Adeptus Evangelion does not require adherence to the story of Evangelion, Warhammer 40k, or even Shinji and Warhammer40k in order to play. Rules and tips for running games that diverge from these storylines will be provided later. This game requires the Dark Heresy Core Rulebook to play, and no rules from that book will be reprinted here. Rebuild of Evangelion The Rebuild of Evangelion (to be presented in a series of movies rather than a television series) represents a new, updated take on the world of Evangelion. Given the currently incomplete nature of the Rebuild, Adeptus Evangelion uses the original series as a base and will not take any special effort to represent Rebuild of Evangelion. This will also avoid spoilers of the Rebuild, something rather newer than the series that came out in the mid-1990’s. While Adeptus Evangelion will not reference the Rebuild of Evangelion, those movies may be used as inspiration and a proof-of-concept when it comes to running alternative Evangelion campaigns seeking to branch from the main series. 2 3 CHARACTER CREATION In Adeptus Evangelion, you take the role of one of the few Pilots of the monstrous Evangelion war machines. Given the nature of the battle system described later, it is important for GMs and players alike to note that this system plays best with a number of pilots between 2-4. Overview Building your character is accomplished in the following steps: Background The Background of your character represents how they came to be an Eva pilot. Do they have a genetic disposition for it that has only recently been discovered, or have they been training for this their whole life? Perhaps it is a position they were made for, literally. Each Background has its own impact on your skills and Characteristics, as well as its own unique Traits. These Traits are divided into two categories: Positive and Negative. Choose two Positive Traits and two Negative Traits from the lists provided. Characteristics Once you have chosen your background, you may roll your characteristics. To do this, roll 2d10 11 separate times, and write down the resulting numbers. Remove the lowest number from the pool, and assign the remaining 10 numbers to your characteristics as you see fit. Your Background will impose modifiers to various characteristics, so be sure to take that into account. 4 Drawbacks and Assets Unlike in previous editions of Adeptus Evangelion, taking Drawbacks does not provide experience. Instead, it provides Depth, which may be spent on Assets before the game begins. Each character is required to have 10 Depth worth of Drawbacks, and may choose to have more. Once you have selected your Drawbacks, and spent the resulting Depth on Assets, you may continue on to your career. Career Choose which career you intent to play. For pilots, the available options are Skirmisher, Berserker, AT Tactician and Pointman. At your GM’s discretion, you may instead choose to play the special non-pilot career of Operations Director. There may be, at most, one Operations Director in a given campaign. Each Career provides a short list of starting skills and talents to players.

If technology is not the only driver in the evolution of warfare, it is the enabler, not to say the trigger, of most of the changes that occurred at the turning point between generations. For a country like Switzerland, Technology Foresight is paramount to identify the opportuni- ties and threats a technology can represent for the different military capabilities building our national armed forces. Rather than picking winners, the Technology Foresight program must provide a comprehensive overview to ensure an early warning about novel relevant technological advances. Identifying potentialities provides the time to build the necessary competences, skills and expertise, in the various fields. In that sense, Technology Foresight must be an integrated element of the doctrine, planing and procurement processes of the armed forces. Only with this strategic futuristic vision, the Swiss armed forces are able to handle, economi- cally and operatively, the evolutions and challenges to come.

  • The Manhattan Project John Kenneth Christopher Hunt a Thesis in The
    The Manhattan Project John Kenneth Christopher Hunt A Thesis in The Department of English Presented in Partial Fulfllment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in English at Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada Dr. Darren Wershler, Project Supervisor April 2017 © John Kenneth Christopher Hunt 2017 1 2 ABSTRACT The Manhattan Project is a book of lyric poetry that chronicles the discovery of nuclear energy and its subsequent use as both a weapon and a fuel source. The book is grounded in the aesthetic positionality contained in scholar Joyelle McSweeney`s concept of the `necropastoral`, a liminal zone where disparate spaces, such as the classical `urban` and `pastoral`, become blurred. The Manhattan Project examines the enduring impossibility of sufciently responding to the continuing repercussions of the nuclear age and its post-nuclear contaminants through a kind of `resurrection` of lyric meditation, further mutated by both formal constraints and conceptual frameworks. 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS I.

  • Antimatter Underestimated
    Antimatter underestimated ∗ Andre Gsponer and Jean-Pierre Hurni Independent Scientific Research Institute Box 30, CH-1211 Geneva-12, Switzerland e-mail: [email protected] Version ISRI-87-01.2 November 2, 2018 Abstract We warn of the potential nuclear proliferation’s consequences of military applications of nano- or microgram amounts of antimatter, such as triggering of high-yield thermonuclear explosions, laser pumping, compact sources of energy, directed-energy beams, and portable sources of muons. Sir — The first published account of success in immobilizing antiprotons in an electromagnetic trap has been the subject of a recent leading article News and Views editorial [1]. Although this article gives a good overview of the scientific meaning of this historical achievement, it gives in our view a rather misleading perspective on its likely military significance [2]. It is true that for some applications of antimatter, such as antiballistic missile or spacecraft propulsion, relatively large amounts of antiprotons are required. For most other cases, the useful amounts are usually much smaller. For example, we have calculated that less than a microgram of antiprotons is sufficient to trigger a thermonuclear explosion or pump a powerful X-ray laser [3, 4]. But antimatter is not only the most powerful of all high-explosives,it is also the only feasible portable source of muons. In every antiproton annihilation, on the average three muons are produced. These could be used to induce muon-catalysed fusion reactions in a deuterium-helium-3 mixture, an attractive solution for a low- weight neutron-free space nuclear reactor that could be operated in a continuous or pulsed mode.

World class universities are showcasing their innovations in science and technology because their high education curricular put the future of Research and Development as their pillar for a brighter world. Our curricular in the higher education system needs a rethink, recasting to embrace innovation, design and production at the heart of what our new generation graduates should be. This article discusses an array of such emerging technologies. Because emerging technologies in all sectors are over 150. we had decided to select three key technologies from each sector for our sample questionnaire. A questionnaire was distributed mainly to educational planners, Lecturers and managers of the industry for purposes of having a feel of how knowledgeable these professionals are understanding developments in science technology and what plans they have to integrate these new knowledge domains so that educational planners can integrate them into the curricular of undergraduate and graduate degree programs in our tertiary institutions.
