One of my less experienced and more reckless friends recently made a psiball which she programmed to attach itself to her shoulder. Unfortunately she gave it herself as its energy source and it has been feeding off of her psi constantly. She's told me that it's making her really tired and I'm worried, but neither of us can find anything that tells how to DESTROY a psiball. We need help urgently:
How is a psiball destroyed?
No problem, for the future you can always program constructs to either disintegrate over time, or to respond to a self destruct command. For the current situation, your friend could make a new construct (programed with self destruct), which has the sole purpose of eating the old psi_ball. Another way is that she could reconnect with the the original construct and add to it's programing. I reprogram my constructs all the time. You can think of it like alpha & beta versions of a video game, which are developed further after the bugs are found:)
She managed to make another psiball to eat it. I personally always program mine with a self-destruct time in case things go badly; usually it's just a few hours or a day at most. She apparently wasn't aware of that. The main problem was that it was draining her and I haven't yet taught her to ground/center, so she didn't have much energy left to make the new psiball. I'm glad that's over...
Another way to destroy a construct is a technique known as deprogramming. The technique does exactly what it sounds like it does. It deprograms the construct. A method of deprogramming would be to scan the construct that you wish destroy, look closely at the programming of it and then you can get to the meat and potatoes of the process. You can simply insert your own programming into the construct or you can alter the programming of the creators to get the job done. Of course this takes a person who is at least decent in scanning but its a very effective technique. Its helpful to look at psi as programming code. The psi-ball (construct) is a program. By editing the source code of that program then you can change how the program functions or simply just delete the said code. So if you apply this example to psionics then you can easily destroy the construct. If the creator of the construct is aware of this technique of disassembling then they of course could build one with security to try to prevent the deprogramming. Glad you were able to handle the situation Paefin and I hope this post helps you in any future predicaments that may occur.
Good luck !
I've heard about that, you just scan the object, and pluck out the programming. Then it's just a unattended mass of energy and it dissipates. Of course, in this situation you can reabsorb the energy for later use, but bravo all the same.
