...if you're on the frequency, yeah.

July 16
[Aberrant] Jacob Ashton writes a private journal entry bemoaning his non-nova status. He believes it's his birthright to be a nova, and has tried transcendental meditation, skydiving, even murder with his bare hands in hopes of joining their number


He complains of how eruption "sits just beyond my reach, taunting me.... I fear that I may kill myself before I stumble upon the right alchemy that will trigger my node.... How is it that I can have so much and yet be relegated to the hordes of common men — only to look in awe and envy upon the quantum gods who walk among us?"

Right below his plaint is an implied example of the sort of thing he's tried, in the form of a newspaper article headlined Industrialist Nearly Killed in Tragic Airline Crash. Thirty-nine people died when the pilots of British Airways Flight 317 lost control and the plane did a Brodie into the Atlantic; luckily, the HMS Inevitable was there to retrieve the survivors.
