After the event with Agents running drills and seeing if there operatives bomb diffusing skills were "efficient" a lot of talk has been going on about what it is that these devices do.
Now my first thought was it was simply a device that shot some stuff into the ground and brought up anything that was found "important" or "odd" in the area to the surface and that was all there was to it
Turns out I was wrong. Now this conversation with Liaison Officer Tygrvason (EPN) started with the simple question of "can bluepills see the gold code the devices emits?" his reply was....
"Redpills are able to 'see' what bluepills cannot, similar to how dogs can detect sound above normal frequency. We are more accustomed to noticing and adapting to changes in the code. Furthermore, the pulse that is emitted merely 'reads' code; it does not alter it. If I may use a concrete comparison, the device works upon a similar principle as 'radar detectors' have been used. A signal is emitted to locate certain frequencies and report back. A scrambler however, is manufacturered to emit a signal which blocks opposing frequencies from detecting it. These devices are illegal under most bluepill laws."
So to sum it up, the gold shiny code we all see workings its way from the devices after detonation is a signal similar to a radar as in you have to have extremely good hearing or in this case sight to see it. That signal in turn is able to penetrate threw the code and rebounds off it after being set to pick up certain pieces of interest which then are interpreted and translated back to the origin while also being hidden so that it goes uninterrupted and unnoticed. Nothing is extracted or inserted minus a small series of waves that then dissolves after extending a certain radius similar to radar and relaying any information they find.
Will be happy to answer any further questions to supply chat logs of the conversation if anyone feels they are needed. Also if anyone as a screenies of the details of a CPD before going off I would like to see one.
You miss one vital point though Gami, this is merely what you have been told. Who's to say its the truth or, at the very least, the whole truth?
Very true and perhaps you are right. However given that all the information given is the same as what Agent Gray told Machinist and only better explains and adds (not contradicting mind you) how the device works there is no reason to doubt it unless you want to say that both Gray and Tygrvason are keeping a few things secret.
So untill a better sorce then Agent Gray, Tygrvason, or the details in the pic says that all the information we have been given is lacking or missing something then their is no reason why this can not be taken as fact or be seen as incomplet.
Please, EPN nutcases can't help but brag whenever they accomplish anything. It's when they fail or are not done/still planning that they keep their lips sealed. On a side note, I've apparently earned a rank. =p
What have I acomplished? Nothing as far as I have seen. This is only here to help educate people on how a CPD works and hardly some bannor to brag about some milestone or something.
And so have I it seems.
I've understood the basic function of a Code Pulse Device from the start.
What I don't get is that people think that because it doesn't directly harm anyone, that the Machines would let you just get on with it. No, it is not a weapon per se, that's not why the Machines work to stop the devices going off. They do it cos they don't want EPN digging into their code.
Is that so hard to understand?

Not at all. However the point was to enlighten people about CPDs as well as get rid of a few misconseptions machinest tie in with how they work. I have heard that they kill bluepils, can been seen by bluepills, tear away information from the simulation, damage what they come in contact with, and a bunch of other crap thats never been confirmed much less happend.
So as you already said the reason why they are so heavly pursuited after is because yes the Machines don't like us seeing what they need to hide. Which is not hard to undserstand.
To Zippy: ((Syntax and Vector EPN are more like Yahweh then the rest of the rescusion EPN =P))
