Short Bio's of main characters.
Gina Babbette Diggers She is the 23-year-old daughter of arch-magician Dr. Theodore Diggers and Jade Armsmaster Julia Diggers. Having no aptitude for magic, the adolescent Gina turned her sharp intellect to the fields of science and technology, and by the age of 18, she had acquired degrees in mathematics, physics, engineering, chemistry, biology and archaeology. She is highly over-confident regarding her abilities and her looks. Gina travels the globe uncovering archaeological treasures, her primary motivations being fun and wealth. These traits have earned her the nickname "Gold Digger", a designation which she resents deeply. She is of average height, has long blond hair, blue eyes and wears glasses.
Brianna Diggers In one of Gina and Britanny's earlier adventures, they were struck with a curse. Gina attempted to "trick" the curse into leaving herself and Britanny (a werecheetah) by creating a soup of genetic material identical to their own. The curse, however, unexpectedly created a genetic cross between Gina and Britanny. Today, Gina and Britanny think of Brianna as a sister. Her name was given to her as a combination of the names Gina and Britanny. Brianna has Gina and Brit's memories and experiences up to the moment she was born, but she is still immature. She has both Gina's love of technology and Brit's love of aggressive physical activity and recreation. The resulting fusion is the love of aggressive physical technology, like high-tech weapons and armor. Brianna is about 190 centimeters tall and has good muscle tune. Her hair is a lighter shade of blond than her sisters, has green eyes and cat shaped ears.
Lostech Sisters: Prologue
Digger mansion Atlanta, Earth Present time-
Gina and Brianna walked into the elevator.
The Sisters were still in a very good mood from the fact that their sister Britanny has become pregnant. Although Tanya's attempt to kill Britanny's new baby did put a dent in the celebrations. However in the end Tanya was captured and the Digger family bonds were strengthen.
Gina was wearing jeans and a pink shirt while Brianna was wearing a tight lilac top and pants combination. Brianna has having some fun with testing some new weapons, when Gina told her sister Brianna that she wanted to show her something in the beta-lab. Gina had told her that it concerned her next expedition, which Brianna was joining.
Please request a floor The computer asked to Gina Diggers.
"Beta-deck, computer." The lift heads to the lowest levels of her lab. Gina turns to her sister Brianna. "I'm glad you're so enthusiastic, Brianna, but I should inform you of the conditions my latest project exist under. Until now, I've been visiting sites and hunting down leads with Ryan. But, due to my latest breakthroughs, I believe my future expeditions may need more protection than he can provide."
"Computer display Holofile E-7789 for Brianna."
File found. rendering holo-force projection
A hologram of a giant mummy appears in front of Brianna. She takes a good look at it, trying to recognize it. "Trippy what is it?"
Gina removes her glasses and looks Brianna in the eye. "This mummified Alien was found in a strange pyramid structure in the deepest part of the Congo."
Brianna smiles happily; dreaming of fighting aliens with her latest weapons, testing every setting of the weapons. "Oh, GOODIE! I haven't shot down a Hostile Alien in a long Damn time!"
Gina cleans her glasses. She was still slightly bothered with her sisters unique point of view of the world. "I don't think we're going to be bothered by 'those' aliens Bri'."
"Awwwww, Why not?" She looked at Gina with slight disbelief and disappointment. "Don't tell me you think they're friendly?"
"Nope, I believe that they are extinct. But we have met their Ghosts." Gina enjoyed leaving Brianna with this small riddle.
The elevator stops and the doors open. Brianna takes a better look at the hologram. "Wait, are you telling me that that thing is a Beta-Phantom?"
Gina walks out the elevator and replies. "Actually, those remains were mummified before that alien could be changed into a Beta-Phantom." Brianna and Gina walk to the Beta-lab. Gina could imagine what her sister is thinking. "But yes that Aliens race invented Beta-tech."
Brianna was a bit skeptic "hmm, A reasonable guess."
Well wait until you see this thought Gina as she felt a bit insulted by her sisters doubts. She put her glasses back on and answered. "No GUESS WORK this time, Bri. Because in the mummy's tomb, I found the veritable instruction manual, to the Beta generator we found in Civ-Alpha, with the directions on how to open it." Gina turns aside to allow her sister too see the center of the Beta-lab. "So, I sorta did."
Brianna looked severely shocked at the Beta-Generator. "WAIT A MINUTE. YOU OPENED THAT THING. IN THE HOUSE!" Brianna stared into her sisters eyes. "THAT DOES IT, Gina Diggers! From now on, your nickname is 'Pandora'! How many times have Brit and I asked you not to do something like that around here."
Gina interrupted her, "Unless I KNOW what it does. But my scientific curiosity just drove me insane!" Gina feels slightly intimidated by her sisters enduring angry stare coming down from at least a head higher. She wanted to demonstrate the inactive state of the beta-generator. "See it is harmless", tapping against the Beta-generator, accidentally pressing some hidden buttons. The Beta-generator began to glow. The lines on the inside flashing in a hypnotic light. "Oops?"
Sh!t what has she done now… Brianna slowly inched to the door of the lab and asked. "Gina what did you do? Can you shut it down?"
Gina tried to do just that, franticly typing shutdown codes into the interface. "Bri, it won't respond! I can't shut it down!"
The glow became brighter and brighter, within a minute Gina was unable to even look at the keyboard without getting blinded.
Brianna grabbed her sister by the waist, screaming. "Let's make a run for it!" However, it was too late, the glow of the Beta-generator flashed over the room. The light and pain, too intense to describe, flowed over them both. Brianna and Gina screamed as their world turned to pure white.
To be continued-
101: Betatechnology -
Beta-technology was created by the Befadoci. The Befadoci lived more than 40 million years ago. Betatechnology focuses on phantom-mass; this is phased matter were the properties of matter such as momentum or mass is shifted into Beta Phase (another dimension). This allows a user to lift a ring made of tons of phantom-mass without feeling any weight.
