A water planet, long since dead and nearly impossible to work because of intense radiation filled the screen. It hadn't changed since Zach had last been here, not long before he had pulled out of [[Project Sociable]], the last project he had been involved with before pulling out of Doenitz's group altogether.

	"One more thing, Admiral Doenitz." he said in a solid voice. "I have the [[Trinity]], [[Sociable]] and [[New Destiny]] devices. One last bit of insurance for my sake, and the sake of all others. Continue your projects, you will have nothing to fear from me." he turned slowly so he could see the Admiral out of the corner of his eye. "But I swear to whatever Gods above, if you ever come after me or mine, Ill bring those devices out of storage and show you their full capabilities. Not even your mighty fleet could save you then, think on that in your darkest nightmares."		"One more thing, Admiral Doenitz." he said in a solid voice.

	Doenitz said nothing. Zach reached up and unclipped all but two of his pips, and dropped them to the ground. And then, without another word, he stepped out of the office and out of Doenitz's [[Reverse Technologies group]] for what he hoped would be forever.		Doenitz said nothing.

	He paused for a moment, letting Doenitz think. His last words had been a warning about the three devices he had hidden. He had heard from channels that enormous effort had been put into tracking them down. Nothing had ever been found. Falthgood nodded a couple times, "Oh yes, Mr. Doenitz.

If you pull out [[Mystery Train]] or any of the other little black projects we played with, I'll show you just how far I got in researching these devices. I will decimate your forces, Admiral.

	==Sociable Device==		==Sociable Device==

	~~Quoted from~~ a ~~Post by J Trout:~~		The Sociable device was found on Sytav VII, which was a planet deep on the rim. It was the site of an archaelogical/Reverse Technologies investigation as it contained the ruins of an Inchon City.

	Zach put his arms behind him and stood like a rock as he faced the first of the three devices. It was the smallest, generally shaped like a console with a giant cylinder jutting from the back. "First on the left, the Sociable device. It's a retrovirus creator, Sir. It's designed to be some sort of healing device, it creates retro-bugs. But we also discovered it could create the worst plagues known to man. Provide a sample of DNA and it can be tailored from basic DNA structure for all species, or a species... right down to individual or family DNA. Making it the ultimate in tailored bio-warfare. It's healing potential is absolutely incalculable, but so is it's terror value. We could wipe out a race with this, or an individual or blood-line."		This planet is the site of Project Sociable, the last project run by Captain Zachary Falthgood and the discovery site of the Sociable device.

	He (Zachary Falthgood) closed his eyes, "The middle device that looks like a giant reliard penis is the New Destiny device. For simplicity sake, consider it the Genesis Device take-two. It is... something like a transporter/replicator system. It reorganizes matter into a matrix we desire, on a planetary scale. It can use all matter in a given area to do so, as well. Even better, it can be programmed to specifically use, or ignore, specific types of matter... such as living beings. I could completely redo Earth without touching any of her native plants or animals, only living human beings and artificial structures.

He sighed, "It takes approximately six hours to complete a transformation the size of Earth with no special functions. If you give it a lot of do's and don'ts, it can take upwards of 12. But in the four tests we put it through, it never failed. The only casualties we found among the test subjects we forbid the device from harming were environmental and accidental, a cat jumped off a brand new cliff or a desert dweller drowned in a stream. Etc. It takes the device approximately one day to recharge for future use. It works on zero-point energy, so theoretically its power source is infinite. With this device, you can take a week and completely destroy a few star systems worth of enemies and their bases, while leaving lower order life-forms alive and well in whatever new eco-system you program."		:''It uses some sort of crystal matrix processing system that out-performs the entire fleet put together."

	It absorbs any energy sources in the area and directs a mutli-phasic pulse which, for lack of better terms, liquefies living matter. We used it against all types of test subjects, from Carbon based life right down to all forms of silicates. Depending on the base structure, it either breaks down all living matter into its basic compounds, or in a silicates case, utterly crystallizes all materials into something solid." He paused, "Whereas this doesn't sound any worse then some of the weapons that we've devised in the past century, this one works on a system-wide scale. And nothing we devised could stop it... trust me, we tried a lot. Not even the Inchon level technology we had made more then a small dent in the final outcome.

	Zach paused for a few moments, and then continued. "All energy sources in its directed path are sucked dry within moments. Shields are stripped away like they aren't there, generators, batteries and warp-cores last for maybe 30 seconds. And all the while the pulse is building in strength. You could wipe out all of Earth, the Moon, the Mars Defense Perimeter, Christopher's Landing on Titan and all Starfleet ships and bases within 45 light-minutes of the target point within 25 minutes with this device. Zero error, zero chance to live. Even better, it uses a portion of the captured energy to shield itself and create an interdiction zone. Once this thing starts, it doesn't stop until it's programmed function has been completed."		:''Zach paused for a few moments, and then continued.

	He didn't have to say that, in testing this device, it had been used to end several systems.
