| ==About==
| | The ideas for RS as a sequel have become so extensive that a possible gaming title is no longer a priority at all. It's fun enough to think about the future for this piece of science fiction. -- Doomsday scenarios including human-killing AIs tend to annoy me. I want to tell a story in which AIs, despite some risks, should be seen as something positive overall. |
| Restless Souls is an other Fan-Fiction in the Oniverse. <font color="#777">(work in progress)</font>.

|
| |
|
| Looking at the timeline the story can be seen as direct sequel...

|
| Well, (in my opinion) neither Oni's original nor RS's timeline is that much fitting into 2032.
| |
|
| |
|
| * This point of view is supported by some footnotes of Oni's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oni_%28video_game%29#Footnotes Wikipedia Article] (following footnotes are from 21 August 2006)

| # There have been debates as to whether 2032 is the actual year of the game's setting as the manual has never clearly stated this to be so. It is only given that the World Coalition Government was formed in January 12th 2032, and as the game progresses, the possibility of the in-game storyline actually being set in 2032 gets lesser.
| | ! '''Full Oni cycle''' |
| # According to Konoko's in-game diary, November 22 was a Monday. This is true for the years 2032, 2038, 2049, et cetera.
| | |- |
| # Officially confirmed to be set in 2032 by Bungie.net's Oni FAQ, although this is still debated due to how tightly the events of Oni would have been packed together, and that the FAQ went up during the Bungie/Microsoft take over.

[...] + 4_54_21 Konoko: [...] Griffin made me a monster when I was 07 years old [...]
| | |- |
| :: There's no explicit statement that WCG established the TCTF but it's most probable.
| | | |
| * "[[Quotes/Manual#Konoko|Orphaned at the age of 3, the woman now code-named Konoko has been raised as a ward of the World Coalition Government ever since.]]"
| | '''Caged Birds''' |
| ::So Hasegase invented his miracle in less the 3 years? (The time is bordered by Jamie's death and Konoko arrival at the TCTF.) That seems very less time for such a super project. Maybe he worked on the idea before he met Jamie. The Daodan's origin is unclear after all.

|
| |
|
| * Oni's technology is for 3032 more unlikely (in my opion).
| | An expansion of the original. Highlights events of other characters and fills the gaps in Konoko's diary. |
| * The TCTF would not be established by WCG but maybe expanded into a secret police.
| | |- |
| :: Nothing is said about the time here: "They told us that abuse of technology was the enemy and that the Technology Crimes Task Force was our guardian."
| | | |
| :: If WCG was founded in 2032 then Kerr and Konoko were already 20 years at the TCTF.

|
| my newest hyper-evolution ideas (27.08.2007)(''inspirited'' by [[wikipedia:Nucleobase|Wikipedia's Nucleobase Article]])<br>
| | A philosophic-flavored parody. |
| <u>[ ideas how the DC could work ]</u><br>
| |
| (A, G, C can transform by mutagens)
| |
| Adenine becomes Hypoxanthin <font color="#777">(Hypoxanthine is used in the [[wikipedia:Wobble_base_pair|Wobble base pair]] by [[wikipedia:Inosine|Inosine]].</font>
| |
| Guanine becomes Xanthin
| |
| Cytosine becomes Uracile<br>
| |
| So, maybe this is what [[Daodan]]'s regeneration and mutation skill speeds up.<br>
| |
| On the other hand the two types (DNA and RNA) still exist - there is <u>not</u> the one ultimate <u>remaining</u>.

| |
| <strike>ACGT gives 4<sup>3</sup> (= 64) combinations, but 20 of them are used only. Would it makes sense that the Daodan use more?
| |
| [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:NichtGenMenge.png DNA amount, that doesn't encode proteins (picture).] [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genom#Bemerkungen Genome Article)]
| |
| They are supposed of having a control function of [[wikipedia:Gene_expression|gene expression]].
| |
| The DC might gives new functions by use the other 44 combination in non-protein code.</strike><br><br>
| |
| <u>[ ideas what the DC could be ]</u><br>
| |
| My first thought was that the DC is just an upgrade construction and cannot exist without a host construction, the DNA.
| |
| Or is it possible that the Daodan-Chrysalis is more like an [[wikipedia:Endosymbiotic_theory|organelle]]?
| |
| ;"ACGT gives 4<sup>3</sup> (= 64) combinations, but 20 of them are used only."
| |
| :That's not correct: '''[[wikipedia:Codon#RNA_codon_table|all 64 codons have a meaning]]''', they're just redundant.
| |
| :As for the non-protein code, it has nothing to do with the 44 "missing" AA.
| |
| :It's about the ''sequences of amino acids'', not about a ''single'' translation.
| |
| :So the combinatorics/diversity is not about 4<sup>anything</sup>, but 20<sup>a few thousands</sup>.
| |
| :It's totally possible that the [[Daodan]] generates completely new proteins.
| |
| ::[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 22:26, 1 October 2007 (CEST)
| |
| :Yes, my mistake, and thank you for correction.
| |
| :Despite this [[wikipedia:Codon#Degeneracy_of_the_genetic_code|degeneracy of the genetic code]], codons standing for the same AA are not completely equivalent.
| |
| :[[wikipedia:Silent_mutation|Recent results suggest that silent mutations can have an effect on subsequent protein structure and activity.]]

| ;"So, maybe this is what Daodan's regeneration and mutation skill speeds up."
| | Should turn out to be a rather short one. |
| :The [[Daodan]] is very much like [[wikipedia:Cancer|cancer]]: aggression, invasion, metastasis...
| | |} |
| :You don't have to invent anything radically different, just "improve cancer".
| |
| :Also have a look at what happens to cells when they're infected by a [[wikipedia:Virus|virus]].
| |
| :In either case, the original cell is affected by very little DNA/RNA changes.
| |
| :But the appearance and function of the cell are ''dramatically'' repurposed.
| |
| ::[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 22:26, 1 October 2007 (CEST)
| |
| :Yea, daodan-material enclosed by a virus hull is not bad for the first host-wide infection and (thus developed) "smart cancers" have a great regeneration potential.
| |
| ::[[User:Paradox-01|Paradox-01]] 13:20, 3 October 2007 (CEST)
| |
| ;"Or is it possible that the Daodan-Chrysalis is more like a organelle?"

| ::[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 00:12, 2 October 2007 (CEST)
| |
| :IMO, on one point, science fiction creates big interest when it looks very possible for the future.

| :But I agree with you again. The story comes first. <u>So, ignore the grey box here as something of my personal interest.</u> =)

| ::[[User:Paradox-01|Paradox-01]] 13:20, 3 October 2007 (CEST)
| |
| :Maybe I'd ignore it if it was in your User namespace.
| |
| :Then again, I guess I'd still point out mistakes etc...
| |
| :For all I care, the Daodan is anything and everything.
| |
| :Pretty similar to [[wikipedia:Midi-chlorians|midi-chlorians]], when you think of it.
