Lore Horse (100K views special!)

GyroscopicGraphite (formerly known as PasteEater) here! This is a special chapter, to commemorate 100K views on this story! Whether or not this is actually a significant milestone is something that I have decided I don't care about, because this is in part an excuse to make a really silly joke, and every once in a while, that's a good enough reason to do something. Achievement or not, I thank you all for helping me get this far. I look for forward to where we end up next!

(Speaking of what's next, I may have to update this chapter one or two or twelve times to fit any future storylines into here. Also, don't feel obligated to read all this, it really isn't necessary to enjoy the story.)

This little side section is mostly flavor text/worldbuilding, so feel free to ignore it and go about your day. Specifically, this bonus chapter will feature a small insight into the driving forces behind Zeus's Glory and their creation of the 'Fragments of Desire', which, I don't know if I made this clear, but it is Zeus's Glory who is making all the inventions and toys featured in this story. Most of this information probably won't make into any storyline, but all of it is canon to the world. This will probably cause a few issues with general implications of a world I haven't exactly flushed out yet, but this is a gift horse, it's best not to look it in the mouth. Ask any questions you have anyways, I'll be happy to answer, but I'd honestly not think about it particularly hard. Without further ado...

Enjoy the chapter, enjoy the story, enjoy the road to that sweet, sweet, 1 million (hopefully), and most importantly, enjoy the rest of your day.

OPERATION 2024: CODENAME {FRAGMENTS OF DESIRE}

OVERARCHING OBJECTIVES: Research origin and functions of advanced mechanisms found in various locations, dubbed "Magica." Discern and document any and all variance in effects of Magica relics between laboratory and public settings. Use information gathered to develop technology capable of replicating useful aspects of Magica artifacts. Also record all usages of the Magica relics as a social experiment and to prevent **** of power/innocent people.

• Collar + leash, codename ["Commander"]; Combination study of voice-operated software development and research on nerve signals passing through spinal cord. Magica artifacts were used to create desired effects, with microscopic sensors implanted underneath extremely high quality and flexible materials to create a comfortable fit for the majority of fully grown adults. Leash created using similar materials, with additional functionalities added with the use of Magica relics. Issued 6/23/2059.
• Control glasses, codename ["Spectacular"]; Analysis of sound and other energy waves used by Magica artifact to target and manipulate subconscious. Soon-to-be commercially available lense technology allow for user to see through the gaudy lights used with complementary app to create a fully functional guise under which to conceal glasses's true functions. Issued 10/14/2061. Addendum: CEASE RECORDING OF NEW ACTIVITY AND DELETE EXISTING RECORDS OF ACTIVITY. WATCH WITH **** SCRUTINY.
• Pocket watch, codename ["Golden Glare"]; Test of what an individual does with seemingly infinite power, but with an exploitable restriction in the case of user abusing power. Also creates relatively safe storage of powerful Magica relic, in unlikely case of robbery of major facilities. Issued 3/28/2059
• Voodoo pair, codename ["Link"]; Personal project of Augustus. No relation to experiment, but will still be monitered in case usefulness is found.
• Time stop watch, no codename given; The most powerful Magica artifact found to date, sealed in a seemingly innocent watch to and given to a seemingly innocent person for safekeeping. Delete any relavent records and remove any way to determine the relic's location. It must be kept out of the wrong hands by any means necessary. Issued 8/2/2059
• T.R.A.N.S, codename ["Shapeshifter"]; Discontinued experiment, due to metamorphosis and changing of DNA being deemed not useful to the general masses. One successful prototype currently exists in secure storage.
• Invisibility cloak, codename ["Camoflauge"]; Initailly devised as Magica relic-based invisibility for the Espionage Division, we have since replicated the effects with our own technology. Special eye mask has yet to be replicated, and is still created with Magica artifacts, but is close to replication. Singular copy has been issued to an unknown individual as part of psychological study on 12/4/2059
