☀ GENERAL RESEARCH REGARDING THE CITY'S STRUCTURE AND WORKINGS
Using various resources and means, including archived network posts, to better grasp how and why the City is and the means by which people come and go.
OUTLOOK: To be determined.
PROJECT HEAD: None. Anyone may participate. Significant discoveries are to be reported to superior officers.
☀ CONTROLLED SUBSPACE ANOMALY
Attempt to enlarge (or create) a subspace fracture that would allow travel to a specific universe and time without killing travelers or destroying everything in the vicinity of the anomaly.
OUTLOOK: Grim.
PROJECT HEAD: Janeway; Starfleet Laboratories.
☀ FORCE FIELD
Used in the 23rd and 24th centuries for a number of uses. Janeway has developed a means of emitting a level two force field; increasing the strength of these fields is an ongoing mission.
OUTLOOK: Positive.
PROJECT HEAD: Janeway; Starfleet Laboratories.
☀ WARP ENGINE
Would allow a ship to travel at faster than light speeds by distorting the local spacetime continuum. Also necessary: a starship to house it. While it will be a primitive ship out of necessity, it must be capable of withstanding warp speeds.
OUTLOOK: Bleak.
PROJECT HEAD: Janeway; Starfleet Laboratories.
☀ PHASERS
The production of a weapon that is based on the designs of standard-issue phasers from the twenty-third and twenty-fourth centuries and modified to function in the current world.
OUTLOOK: Complete.
☀ CURSE ALERT
User can let preselected allies know that they are afflicted by a curse or in need of aid. A primitive, durable radio transmitter, interfaced with the network but independent of it, allows someone incapable of using his or her network device to send a simple message to network users. Currently, work is being done to make personal devices more secure as well as multifunctional.
OUTLOOK: Promising. Entering trial stages.
PROJECT HEAD: Chekov; City Solutions.
☀ NETWORK PRIVACY
User-recognition procedures are needed to begin a network recording with the intention of eliminating "accidental posts," shared memories, etc. Although it is considered complete, there is room for improvement as some posts still get through. Work is being done to tighten security and maintain the privacy of archived posts.
OUTLOOK: Working.
PROJECT HEAD: Chekov; City Solutions.
☀ PERSONAL TRACKERS
Chips inserted beneath the subject's skin in a noninvasive, painless procedure relay information to specified network devices. The subject's location and vitals would be monitored remotely. The chip would stop transmitting if the subject was pulled from the City.
OUTLOOK: Promising. Delayed by ethical concerns.
PROJECT HEAD: Chekov; City Solutions.
☀ CURSE DESIGNATION ALGORITHM
A proposed algorithm that will not only track curse trends and predict future curses, but also estimate each individual's susceptibility to a curse or strain of curses. This would rely upon artificial neural networks and the self-reports of Cityzens.
OUTLOOK: Uncertain. Securing accurate self-reports is problematic, thorough and sustained neural observation is frowned upon.
PROJECT HEAD: Chekov; City Solutions.
☀ STELLAR NAVIGATIONAL CHART
A complete chart of the City's unique "stellar" features, to be used as a means of nighttime navigation when technological alternatives are unavailable.
OUTLOOK: Hopeful, if tedious.
PROJECT HEAD: Chekov; City Solutions.
