no, im still here. i spilled pepsi on my laptop keyboard, so i had to get a new one, which took a while. i also cant find that info i had on espse mahcines/KIA database, so ill make another one tonight. ive been busy with school, and also finishing up BLADE RUNNER 2: the edge of human, and beginning on BLADE RUNNER 3 (so far, boring). ill post the esper tomorrow, and KIA day after that.
<BR>
<BR>this was originally a hoby, which i do in my spare time, not in a rush, but ill keep posted.

KIA DATABASE
<BR>
<BR>The KIA database is nothing more than a large server, used to store all the police files and criminal records. The main CPU, or Central Processing Unit, is located inside the LAPD HQ, but a high security clearance is required to get close to it. Instead, for those who have no clearance, there are ?terminals?, such as an ESPER machine, a PC, or other cataloging terminals. These are the only outside access points. All are connected using high-speed quantum fiber optic cabling, which allows for instant data transfers, which in turn cut down on loading and uploading times. Besides cutting down upload/download times, it also allows a great number of people to access the exact same files all at the exact same time without any slowdowns. But, not anybody who wants police files can just get a computer and hook it up to the KIA. There is a certain ?firmware? placed inside each computer, which has its own LOGIN and PASSWORD. The firmware is like hardware mixed with software; the hardware can be edited or modified using the software, making it more than just hardware. The firmware allows for the LOGINS and PASSWORDS to be changed whenever necessary, to prevent from hackers and non-police.
<BR>
<BR>Quantum Fiber Optics Networking
<BR>The networking of computers, terminals, and esper machines is just like a Local Area Network, or LAN. Your ?terminal? is connected to a hub, or another computer, using a cable. For the KIA, that cable is a Quantum Fiber Optic cable. A hub is just the local gathering place of all the other connections. There can be 50 other connected computers to the hub. Then, then hub is connected to the KIA, much like how the internet works. So, the Terminal connects to the hub, which connects to the KIA, or a hub can be connected to another hub, and so on. But, at the end of the line, the last hub is connected to the KIA.
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>Operating System and Security
<BR>The KIA server is run on a specialized operating system. The KIA needs specialized because of its superior 4 512 BIT processors. Each processor out of the four has its own tasks to perform. One for managing and processing outgoing data, one for processing incoming data, and the other two are idle until extra power it required. Upon a system boot up, each processor goes out and scouts the network, detecting all powered on terminals, and retrieves each terminal?s LOGIN name and PASSWORD. If an invalid username and password is given (from the firmware) to KIA, it denies that terminal of service. Aside from the firmware login, there is also a user login, which allows certain persons to login. When a person is logged in, a log is kept of every action the user performs. Zooming in on an esper machine, voice commands given to a computer or esper, files moved or purged from the database, all this is recorded and kept.
<BR>
<BR>I decided to post KIA first, then esper. KIA still isnt finished, im gonna brush it up later.

The main use of the KIA has been to provide a large ?filing cabinet? from which any of the California Police department can access it at any time. Since its creation, it has been expanded from more than just a filing cabinet that keeps police records, to a hub from which the ESPER machines and portable computers in police Spinners can also access it.

PKD STANDARD BLADE RUNNER ISSUE PISTOL
History:
The LAPD used for the PKA-utomatic for 15 years the cal. was 45. PKA's were very popular for there ability to handle most types of perpetrators: stoned store robbers, car jackers, terrorists whathave you upon the illeagalization of replicants the PKA proves to be to weak so the LAPD and lets assume several other departments put in a requeast to Pflage/Katsumata for a beefed up version of the PKA. After a few months of developement out comes the PKD the D soon became a slang acronym for Detective as they were only issued to Replicant Detectives these wepons after only a few months of use became a favoritem, the caliber had been uped to .50 cal the PKD carries five shots and in its revolver frame also there is a Special Round loaded using the bolt action on the gun. this round is a small grenade or rocket round
PKD soon became the hottest gun out it becomes a big item on the black market prices reportadly fetch upwards of $2000 depending on the condition of the weapon one or two shipments get knocked over by enterprising idividuals so the vehicles carrying the weapons are under heavy police escort.
Ammo:
PKD the ammo used .50 cal. slug wont do anything a hole lotta good but reps are tuff even the pleasure models so dum dum rounds are issued in limited quantities to the rep-det squads. The Rep-Det Rick Deckard used dum-dum rounds on the escaped replicant Zora but ran out before retireing the replicant Pris. Dum-Dum's are suggested to use on combat models this was made a requirement after two Blade Runners in Chicago were gunned down by escaped replicants
there are three types of ammunition available to Blade Runners; full metal jacket, hollow point, and the dum dum ( a dum dum is an exploding round)
The special round: The specail round is either a small self propelled rocket or grenade it is loaded via the bolt on top of the PKD this Special Round is very expensive and is rarely used by Blade Runner's Rick Deckard used the special round against replicant Roy Batty
Other Features:
A unique feature of the PKD is its dual triggers the first one or the one most forward fires the special round and the other one fires the revolver
The PKD also features a small targeting device placed on the left side of the gun. it points an infrared beam that activates a buzzer in the grip when a target is in range. The optimum range is between 25 and 40 meters abouts. the range finder is controlled by a small computer located in the small housing up front, this is recogniseable by the four on its housing this computer also keeps track of the rounds fired and when the blade runner is down to his/her last shot it buzzes but its different from the targeting buzz when ammo is low its pulses while the targeting buzz is steady
BLACK HOLE T ECHNOLOGY
Black Hole technology is relatively new the technology was first developed for space combat later after technology had advanced somewhat to allow the components of the ship based black hole weapon to be miniaturized tests were performed on these miniaturized versions of the weapon to see what effect it had effect on soft targets the results were stunning once a target was hit it even in a non vital area the target went down and compared to conventional weapons which took several shots in the same area for instance the stomach the weapon was scheduled for immediate production as a personal combat weapon. Personal Black hole weapons were first rather large and somewhat suitable for the larger combat models but again technology advanced and now all types of combat models were issued black hole weaponry. Eventually hand versions were made but these were unpractical for combat as the small size limited the amount of ammunition to about four.
Black Hole technology is very complicated but for the layman basically when a black hole weapon is fired it sends Dim Energy a close relative to Dark Matter but produceable in off world factories this dim energy is more or less expelled by magnetic accelerators situated in the barrel.
Dim Energy
The Dim Energy is accelerated and then emitted out of the barrel and the Black Hole weapon has a range of about 100 meters before the Dim Energy dissipates but this depends on the size of the weapon and strength of the magnetic accelerators.
What its Made out of:
The Black Hole weapon has very few metal parts, other than the barrel and magnetic accelerator mechanism; otherwise composites make up the fame, ammo container, grip, etc?.Now some smaller experimental models use completely composite material and use electricity to accelerate the Dim Energy these versions are completely undetectable by most sensor scanners and are HIGHLY ILLEGAL very few people out of the military R&D dept. even know about it but unfortunately a test version was stolen off of a colonist during a transit ride apparently the replicants on board killed all human passenger it is then believed that the weapon was discovered and stolen by one of the replicants.
SPINNER (volantor craft)
vo - lan - tor (vo-lan'ter) n. A vertical takeoff and landing aircraft that is capable of flying in a quick, nimble, and agile manner. --intr. & tr.v. -tored, -toring, tors. To go or carry by volantor. [Lat. volare, to fly. Fr. volant, to move in a nimble and agile manner]
The Spinner is not the type of car, but the manufacturer name, such as Ford, Nissan, Toyota, etc... The Flying Police Spinner is not the only flying volantor craft available. There are a wide variety of volantor crafts available, but cost very expensive. The Spinner we will refer to here though will be the standard Spinner Police Volantor.
Its vertical (up and down) propulsion system is based on the F-35's (A.K.A X-35) engine design, which is based upon the Harrier Jump jet?s vertical propulsion system. The difference between the Harrier's jets and the F-35's jets are lift-off time, fuel consumption, and size, which is basically an entire new engine design. The Harrier jet has a vertical lift-off time of 20 seconds to get off the ground, and takes up large amount of fuel. The F-35 however, has a lift-off time of only 7 seconds, and requires very little amount of fuel. The size of the Harrier engine is twice that of the F-35's, which adds to the weight. When the weight is doubled, that also doubles the take-off time, which slows the craft down. This is how it is dealt with in the Police Spinner (generic word for volantors in this document). The size is cut down, so it isn't as big as the F-35's vertical engine, because of weight. The Police Spinner doesn?t carry heavy weapons loads like a military jet, and it doesn?t carry hundreds of gallons of fuel for its jets. So the engine is not as big. Also, the Spinner's outer covering isn't made of steel. It is made from a light weight, cheap, but very strong fiberglass aluminum mixture, the same type of plating that is used on the F-35. This reduces the weight greatly, but also adds the same protection as on normal aircraft or vehicles.
Volantor Engines
The jets used to propell the Police Spiner (volantor) vertically are located in four areas of the Spinner. There are two on the left and right side of the back butt of the spinner, there are two on the left and right side of the front of the Spinner. The engine is placed in the back of the spinner, right behind the driver seat. The other engine, used do drive the car on the ground, is placed behind the passenger.(see schematics) This just comes to show how small the verticle engine is, small enough to place behind the driver. The cooler, used to cool down both engines to prevent overheating and shutdown, is very small, and is placed between the two engines. The reason for a cooler is because with the prototype Spinner, the engine would overheat, and cause an automatic engine shutdown. Automatic shutdown was used for safety reason, to prevent the Spinner's fuel tank form catching fire and causing an explosion onboard in mid-air. The solution for this problem was simple, a coolant that would never run out, was recyclable, and small. The coolant is explained in another section.
Fuel
The fuel for the ground engine is powered by water. Very simple. There is a small tank in the engine where water sits, the water turns to steam, and is recycled throughout the engine, and is never wasted, it just keeps on going non-stop. This also provides a quiet running engine that puts out no toxic air. But, this cannot be used for the volantor engine. The water powered engine cannot provide the power to lift the Spinner off the ground. Instead, the volantor enginne uses a regular gas powered engine. This is not a problem, since most of the engine power is used to take-off, which take-off only takes an average of 10 to 20 seconds. The rest of the power for the engine is minimized, since the Spinner by now is moving forward, and aerodynanmics set in here. To reduce wind resistance, the Spinner has an "aerosail" placed on the roof between the sirens. Aside from this, the fold down cover over the front tires greatly reduces wind resistance. The fold down covers keep the wind from getting trapped up in the "bowl" the wheels are in.(see schematics) Also, the last third and last thing used to provide aerodynamics is the nice rounded shape of the Spinner. There are very few, if any, sharp corners on the Spinner.(see schematics)
Engine Coolants
The air, used to cool down the engine, is sucked through a little indentation, right behine the door on each side on the upper part of the door. The indentation is about the size of a head, but is enough to cool it down. The air is take in while the Spinner is airborne and not while on the ground. Once the Spinner is fast enough to scoop up the air, the air travels through piping, and is divided up. These divisions of air go to different parts of the engine for even cooling. Since the engines are hot, most of the air turns to steam from all the condensation. The condensation is cycled through the engine to a little tank, which by the time it gets there, it is water. The water is the sent out into different metallic tubes, for more divided cooling of the engine. This is continued when the Spinner is in the air. When the pilot sets the spinner into "Descend" mode, the cycle is slowed down to conseserve as much water as possible, because there is no more air being take in. When the Spinner approaches the ground, near about 15 feet above the ground, the cycle is stopped, and the excess air is vented out as steam, because the air passes through the engine so fast, it doesnt have a chance to become condensation. The leftover condensation the goes through the piping into the water tank, where it sits there until next take-off.
FAA and U.N. AIR SAFTEY REGULATIONS
There are safety system aboard the Spinner. The FAA would not allow the Spinner to be airborne if it had not had certain built-in safety systems. To keep the Spinner from crashing into buildings, the spinner has a distance sensor, that senses how far away another Spinner or building is. If it comes within a certain distance, the Spinner would slow down, and either rise, drop, or turn away from its target. For example, if two Spinners are coming toward eachother head on, when the onboard computer of one Spinner detects the other Spinner, one Spinner will drop a few feet and the other will rise a few feet. To keep both Spinners from rising or falling at the same time, they both send out a radio signal to eachother telling the other Spinner weather to rise or fall. If it is a building the Spinner is going to crash into, the Spinner will turn away, making it impossible for a person to purposley crash into a building or another Spinner. To keep people from hacking the computers and disabling the sensors, the computer has a "self-destruct" mode. If the Spinner's computer is bypassed or tampered with in any way, the Spinner will ceise to function, and the Spinner will no longer work until the problem is fixed. It simply deactivates the volantor engine, and keeps the ground engine going so the Spinner can be driven to a repair shop.
i think this is all....for now. until i unpack the other computer, which has the ESPER machine, youll have to wait for that.

WOW! i completely forgot about this, lol. been busy with the Titan Pictures 
movie. ill work on this a little bit too. so far, none of my backup cds have the old esper copies i have, so ill have to rewrite them. ill have more next week, because this weekend i have a big section for the movie (titan pictures) that's due. its a 4 day weekend for me, so who knows, i might get more in here as well.

hey, what's the best way to compile all this when each section is finished. it should have illustrations to go with each section of info. i was thinking a PDF file, but i cant find any software to easily make a PDF file.
so, should it be: PDF, web page, Word Document, or (any other suggestions)?
ive been using the past few weeks to organize stuff and i got some more pics of each object, like the PKD, and esper, and spinner. also, ive done som touching up on each subject, and ive started some tech info on the nexus 1 and 2. post them when almost finished.

ok, HTML it is. no frames then, since some browsers dont like them, and i'd also like it to be compatible in any Linux web browser (i use linux and windows). i also wont use any .PNG files since internet explorer on mac doesnt like that either, and i know some people out there use macs, like me.

so far, what you see isnt finished. on my computer, ive touched up on each of these that you see. also, ive started on nexus 1 & 2, and im compiling what i have. when i buy a website, ill post it there. or, if bladezone will, they can limit me access so i can manually upload what i have to bladezone.com, and it can be put in the fan work section i guess.

there never was an RPG game, just a discussion about making a blade runner mod (RPG). there's still a discussion for it. it has its own forum section. go to the main menu of the bladezone forum lists, and go all the way to the very bottom. the admins were very generous and gave us out own forums (thanks). note that this was just a discussion, and i tried to get it going, but right now im involved with another project, the titan pictures movie, and im still workin gon the tech manual.
tech manual update: i havent had time to create webpages for the tech manual because of school (big tests). it snows here a lot, and we've had a few snowdays, in which i used to study and do the homework i didnt do earlier. i did get some done on the snowdays though. the snowdays also caused some lag because all the teachers crammed the tests all into a 3-day week (6 tests in all). so ill probably make the index page and upload what i have.
what i upload will be very very sloppy becaus ei havent had time to review them and make changes to grammar errors, spelling errors, etc..., and the reference images will jsut be thrown in there, not neatly placed like i will in the final version of each page. expect the site to be up around 4:00 mountain time, because that's when i get home rom school.
also, if oyu guys have any suggestiong on what you'd like to see pictures of, benMund has been very generous and said he will use his special skills in photoshop (or gimp, or whatever you use) and make some reference photos for the tech manual. if you have any suggestions, put them here, and if benMund doesnt see it, ill PM him with them. this, as well as treybor/EliBrooker said they will also submit images from their upcoming fan film. reference photos like guns, cars, technology, etc... **thanks to everyone for their support on this project, especially Elibooker and BenMund.**
