Time Threads: Temporal Mechanics

Human beings use only 10 to 15% of their total brain capacity. In the Academy, the super secret program to teach space/time projection through mental energy amplified by a Space/Time SLEDD (Super Luminal Energy Displacement Device. more than 98% of the brain's higher functions are used to project chronal energy. Training the mind to harness the complex forces of  space/time is an ability that does not come naturally.; Sub-cortical nano implants are required to turbo boost higher brain functions.to assist the quantum processors surgically implanted into the cerebral cortex.   . Enhanced psychokinetic abilities e.g. targeting objects without physical coordinates, or acquiring target accuracy by imagining the correct destination; or hyper-telekinesis, moving objects forward into the time stream and retrieving it like a mind controlled boomerang were major abilities necessary to advance to proficient and be allowed to make a solo run.. Advanced training also had martial components:  temporal jujitsu, the ability to throw an opponent anywhere in space/ time; alter reality in a subject’s mind, form a force field and reshape matter as a tactical defensive or offensive weapon.. Take together the full array of capabilities was collectively known as Temporal Mechanics.

                           The rubric to demonstrate mastery of Temporal Mechanics  was the ability to draw a perfect sphere of energy using only one’s mind; expand it and teleport yourself safely into the near future. Then, return within seconds holding an object pre-placed at the destination. It was a skill that required deep concentration. Siobhan found the early hours before dawn to be her optimal time to practice.  No one in her class of five had achieved the ability to draw the sphere without assistance from a SLEDD. 

          Once training was complete, the Office of Manufacturing and Distribution Assessments (OMDA) sanctioned commercial espionage through established  timelines. OMDA was an obscure and very secret department technically under the 1^st Councilor of the Guardian Council, but  administered by the Office of Internal Affairs, the secret police. .No one in the 1st Councilor's office had the vaguest inkling of the agency's existence or if they did where it could be found.
