"You want me to be a guinea pig for your project?" murmured Jon
"Nope, you can if you want. All I need is someone I can trust to act if anything go's wrong when I use the prototype, I have run countless simulations and everything should be fine but if there is one solid advice that I have learned from my father it's to always have a back-up plan. You are my Back-up plan, Plan J as it were." Informed Leonard.
"Not Plan B?" replied Jon
"Britney? No way in hell I'd let her cover my back if shit went sideways she'd probably just go with it, I have multiple contingency's but you are the back up should they all fail."
"Okay so how do we use your Energy Siphoner what do we test it on."
"Ah, no. The Energy Siphoner works, has done for a while now, we are here to test my other project, inside the Energy Siphoner. The new device I created gets its charge from TES another Contingency if things don't go as planned everything will go back when it runs out of energy or it did in the simulations anyway. The basic premise of this invention is a device that if ever the user was ever in a bind they could easily escape without much effort. But the more I developed it the more I realized It could be much more than that, it would completely revolutionize the spy or assassination world but lets just get down to what is. This device essentially allows the user to never look out of place I call it the Incognito",
It was a Bangle. A piece of jewelry that might go around someones wrist several colors split sections on the bangle. 50% of the bangle was white and the other 50% was split between the colors of the rainbow each block taking roughly 50 degrees of the surface. The white section had an arrow like notch on it and it looked like the rainbow half could be rotated so the notch was pointing at a certain color. For someone young this would not look out of place, however it seemed childish for anyone older than a tween to wear it.
"Which does....?" questioned Jon again.
"It'd be easier to read the specification I made on the schematics Over.......Here, read this and I'll answer any questions after"
Like all good projects, it started with a specification and on said specification the following modes were listed
-
Modes.
2.1 Standby - Red. This is the Off Operation, when the bangle is in this setting it will not make any changes or if it is switched to this position from another setting then it resets back to the users base Identity. Safety clause - Must be in standby to remove Bangle.
2.2 Sleep - Orange. This is a lot like standby except it doesn't reset to the users base identity Instead it locks the current persona, so that no more changes are made unless sleep is turned off.
2.3 Mingle - Yellow. This gives the user minor hidden stats in that he or she would integrate into the crowd but look out of place if anything was focused on
2.4 Blend - Green. This gave the user a full persona of the group he or she was with, it creates a hole to be filled, there is a minor reality change so that all involved in the new addition to the group believe they have had past experience with the new persona control is divided up 95% manual and 5% automatic so that anything that might prove difficult for the user can be overcome by the 5% new knowledge in the subconscious.
2.5 Integrate - Blue. This is akin to blend aside from the control is split 70%, 30% and a full reality is created for the new persona temporarily removing the previous Identity
*from reality for those not wearing a Friendship Ring.2.6 Other modes to follow
The document looked pretty professional aside from the note scribbled on the end of 2.5
Jon looked up at Leonard "What is a Friendship Ring?"
"That is the correct question, good to see you were reading, the ring is a light metal band stored in the Indigo and violet sections each serving a different purpose, Indigo's ring, the one you shall be wearing will allow anyone wearing it to remember the original reality despite what changes happen. The Violet Ring adjusts anyone wearing it to the same specifications as the bangle but without any of the control. Both rings can be worn at the same time or separately, you can choose to join me on the test but I require you to wield the Indigo ring regardless."
"Why is that explanation not in the specifications" said Jon.
"They are specifications, not instructions. They were what I built my idea on, since then it has evolved and I developed the Friendship Rings after initial testing." replied Leonard
"So how does it actually function"
"If you wear the bangle you can rotate it to each section of the Rainbow Orange, Yellow, Green and Blue are accessed rotating clockwise from Red. Violet and Indigo anti-clockwise." Articulated Leonard."If that's everything covered we just need to locate a suitable environment for testing. Perhaps the Park or the Mall"
"Or school." Blurted Jon
