6	[-Roughly, the energy required of bringing on the final history of humanity. [[LampshadeHanging (And if you can think of a more pretentious title, I'm impressed.)]] Probably won't actually include a thermodynamic measure of the energy required to bring on the end-times, but then again [[ViewersAreGeniuses hard science doesn't sell.]]-]

8	!'''The Enthalpy of Eschatology'''
9
10	A [[ScienceFiction science-fiction]]/[[ScienceIsBad technohorror]] story set in the [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture 2180's]], existing mostly as a vague collection of ideas on Tropers/{{LatwPIAT}}'s harddrive. It details a [[{{Dystopia}} dystopian]], semi-PostApocalyptic future of the Solar System, which has become a [[SecretWar secret battleground]] for alien and transhuman forces. Terrorist cells and [[AIIsACrapshoot rogue Netwar AIs]] make horrific attacks on closed cities, while biological and nanocyber-biological plagues threaten to subvert humanity from within. Whispers on the 'net speak of secret societies and hidden conspiracies lurking behind every shadow, and multinational corporations and dynastic families secure their own power through increasingly suspect means.

23	@/{{QQQQQ}}: Have you read Literature/ACanticleForLeibowitz yet? And Manga/{{Blame}}?
24
25	@/LatwPIAT: My backlog of things I ''should'' read is getting rather extensive, so I haven't gotten around to it yet. Also, while I appreciate the help, I'm afraid that their personalities aren't quite set in stone yet. But, yes, Eukie is most likely an INTP, at least. (And how did you even ''find'' this page?)
26
27	@/{{QQQQQ}}: Boredom leads to random curiosity. Curiosity leads to a WikiWalk-ing. And the most irrelevant-looking of links can bear the greatest fruit. I found this looking up what One-Woman Army is linked to (as I remember it) -- ooh, this title's a doozy, what's this all about..? [[strike:Do you have a tangible plot for this already?]] No, never mind, I should not intrude on someone's private musings..
28
29	@/LatwPIAT: Everything's very... ''vaporous'' at this point. I have some sketches for a larger plot, but at this moment it seems I'll mostly just be plotting out shorter plot-lines and stand-alone chapters against the larger setting. Once I figure out the details of the larger setting...
