PsiloCybian – Mental Tapestry
“Inside the confines of his own mind, he found himself… psychedelic reality… had become hilariously absurd… Everyday objects morphed into comical characters each of a light of his own mocking the seriousness of the situation… Trapped in this fantastical headscape he realized that escape was distante hope…”
PsiloCybian – Imperfectly Balanced
“It is in the very unbalanced nature that the essence of life” “Every disruption… new opportunities for adaptation and evolution… In this realm of perpetual… when nothing is certain and everything is… lies the beauty of nature’s perfect perfect imbalance.”
PsiloCybian – Skylights
“I filming these lights in the sky that were doing weird things.” “I was honestly starting to feel like I was loosing my mind.”
Mental Flow – Grey Matters
“The human brain.”
Mental Flow – Distorted Future
“-Well, the doctor is beside himself. And aside from the obvious, which is money, he can’t think of any reason why someone would want to steal his research. -I can. The bio-chip plugs directly into the thalamus, which not only regulates sleep, it also works as a relay tower to the Cerebral Cortex, which also controls motor-function. -Mind control, Peter. Wouldn’t be the first time someone’s attempted it. I told you about my work with the MK-Ultra Project. Of course, at that time, we supposed we could do it with LSD and hypnotic suggestion. -So it is possible? -Theoretically, yes. -If I faxed you a schematic of the device’s internal architecture, could you test the chip you have? -Yes, but I’d need to replicate the chip’s function in a neutral environment. Of course, I… if I had a live subject… -Walter, no. No student volunteers.” “-Hold it steady, Agent Casper. -It’s Kashner. (to Astrid) Do this kind of thing often? -Brains? No. Although Walter gets particularly excited whenever we do.” “-What does that do, the thalamus? Why is it relevant? -It’s the part of the brain that regulates sleep. -What are you looking for? -That.” “-(Some kind of little) computer chip embedded in his midbrain. -The thalamus? -Yes, that would make sense. Well done, son. -Hold up, Walter. Agent Dunham.” “-It’s a bio-chip. Technically a brain-computer interface, or B.C.I. This particular chip has a transmitter, which makes it wireless. -So it can commit the brain to a remote computer? -That’s right. From what we can ascertain, we think it works a lot like a pacemaker. It monitors sleep cycles and, when necessary, stimulates the thalamus.”
Mental Flow – Making Angels
“-I didn’t steal anything, if that’s what you’re implying. Although I admit that this one item confounded me. Just another of your tools of spy craft, I imagine. A sinister communication device? Some kind of devious encoder? -Wow. I really got to you, didn’t I, Walter? Did you ever consider that perhaps it’s because you enjoyed having me around?” “-I wasn’t even supposed to be in town. I was heading down to Dallas. Selling my company to my scumbag partner, who for six years has made my life a living hell. Today was gonna be the day that I started over. New beginning. But I had a water bottle in my carry-on. By the time the damn TSA was done with me, I missed my flight. -Besides his description, is there anything else that you can tell us? Anything that you remember? -He, he had this weird rod. It was blue. And he’d look into it like he was some kind of fortune teller. He said I was gonna have a car accident, and I was gonna end up like this. -So this guy predicted what would happen? -Not exactly, but I guess exactly doesn’t really matter now.”
Mental Flow – Dreamscape
“-Psychophysiologic effects, otherwise known as psychosomatic. The ability of the mind to cause actual physical changes in the body. -Mind over matter, like when you get scared and you get goosebumps. -Precisely. Although it is possible for the body to manifest physical changes imagined in the brain in a far more dramatic fashion. This test subject is in a highly suggestible state, as you can see in this archive footage. A form of hypnosis. I convinced him that he was in a meat locker. And what is more impressive, I told him that this ice cube was a burning coal.”
Mental Flow – Neuroscience
“Listen to me: don’t move when we’re in the field of the vibrations. You move, and they may see you. It will see you. Stay still.”
Mental Flow – The End of All Things
“-Have you located him? -No. Do we know why he failed to carry out his instructions, why he did not erase the lingering traces of Peter Bishop from this timeline? -That is a question only September can answer, as well as if he is responsible for Peter Bishop’s return. September has continually intervened on behalf of this boy, despite all warnings. He has been given every chance. -How should we proceed? -We wait. He will surface again. And when he does, he will have to face the consequences.” “-If a shapeshifter was responsible, then you’d be dead. -What are you doing with Olivia? -I see where this is headed. You’ve convicted me already. I’m not saying another word without my attorney present. -Have it your way.” “-What exactly are you hoping to find on this chip that you haven’t viewed already? -The camera records over itself every sixty minutes, burying the older images under new footage, so I’m hoping that this machine is gonna give us a chance to reproduce those older images. -A very slim chance. -Thanks for the encouragement, Walter. -I should never have let her out of the lab. You shouldn’t have… -…What? -I warned you not to succumb to temptation, Peter. Whatever consciousness Olivia appears to be manifesting now, she is not who you think she is. -You don’t know that. -What I do know is that if I had kept her here, as I should have, then she wouldn’t have been taken. And we wouldn’t be fishing in the dark, hinging our hopes on pulling a palimpsest out of that chip.”
Mental Flow – Earthling
“If the military was going to test fly alien craft Area 51 was the perfect place to do it. Located some hundred and twenty five miles outside of Las Vegas, it is one of the least populated expanses in the United States. Area 51 is surrounded on three sides by military testing ground and hidden from the public view behind the cruel mountain range. This Russian satellite photo shows the base as it appeared in the nineteen sixties.”
