Important For The Story Pls Read-Science Sans

*Not an official chapter*

"Ah, well, hello there, reader! Name's Science Sans. Yeah, the one who tinkers, theorizes, and occasionally explodes things by accident. You might've heard of me. Or maybe not. Doesn't matter. I'm here today to give you a crash course on the tools you're gonna see in the field—aka what Blue and Ink are fiddling with while trying to save a certain human of interest. Pay attention. This is important. Or at least, I'll try to make it sound important while keeping it hilarious, because, well... me."

Star Beacons
"Let's start with the classics. Star Beacons. Small, blinking, potentially life-saving devices. Their job? Detecting unique soul signatures. Everyone's got one—basically a spiritual fingerprint—and these little babies can pick it up.

Technical function: Amplifies and isolates bio-energetic frequencies to pinpoint location and relative strength of a subject.

Operational range: Moderate. Can be blocked or disrupted by energy dampeners or dimensional interference.

Limitations: Weak signals = fuzzy blips, over-amplification = you get noticed by enemies, probably get cursed, or worst-case scenario: headache.

Pro tip: Calibrate before use. Think of it like tuning an old radio—you want the song, not static. And if the beacon starts blinking red like crazy... maybe don't touch it."

Rifts
"Next: rifts. Fancy portals that let you skip walls, floors, universes—basically cheat the system.

Function: Instantly transports agents across coordinates, can bypass conventional threats, shortcuts.

Requirements: Precise energy alignment. Stabilization. Knowledge of spatial coordinates. Basically: pay attention or you'll end up... somewhere you really don't want to be.

Hazards: Unstable rifts can collapse mid-travel. Congratulations—you're stuck in a void. Or a trash AU. Your call. They can also be tampered with by enemies.

Pro tip: Practice before the field. And maybe carry a snack in case you get stuck. Nobody likes hangry operatives."

Soul Signature Sensors
"Now, these are fancy gadgets that read your soul's... vibes. Literally.

Function: Measures intensity of soul energy, stress levels, and relative location within a radius. Can detect concealment or masking attempts.

Limitations: Suppressed souls = weak or ghostly readings. Environmental interference = false positives.

Pro tip: Always corroborate readings with actual eyeballs. Sensors are smart, but sometimes dumb. Don't blame me if you walk into a wall thinking you saw a blip."

Monitoring/Mapping Devices

"And finally, the big brain stuff. Monitors, maps, holographic screens—you name it.

Function: Visualizes energy flows, rift activity, and subject signatures. Predicts possible movement patterns. Basically, a command-and-control setup.

Limitations: Can't see through magical or tech barriers without extra sensors. Misread the data = instant disaster.

Pro tip: Use your brain. Don't trust the glowing dots blindly. They're cute, but not always truthful. And yes, that dot could be a trap. Yes, really."

"So, there you have it! Star Beacons, Rifts, Soul Sensors, and Mapping Devices—all explained by yours truly. Memorize it, study it, tattoo it on your forehead if you have to. Or don't. I don't care. But remember: use them wisely, don't poke the rifts, and whatever you do... don't let Nightmare's lackeys find you first. Oh, and good luck remembering all that! Seriously. You'll need it. And no, I don't have an easy cheat sheet. I'm not your mom."
