Harmonic Union

 

As you've read through the adventures of the Guardians, I've no doubt you've come across the term, "Harmonic Union"

 

The Guardians employ such a procedure as part of their emergency management program, as it helps them to accomplish great feats which they otherwise wouldn't be able to do alone.

 

So what is a Harmonic Union?

 

Basically, it is a method of linking minds. But there's much more to it than you think.

 

For example. Let's take 3 candidates: A, B, and C.

A has a psychic strength quotient (PSQ) of 15.

B has a PSQ of 18

C has a PSQ of 10

 

If our friends were to simply mesh their minds together, the sum of their combined energies would only amount to a PSQ of 43. While that's a pretty respectable level, it wouldn't be strong enough to say, lift a collapsed bridge, or control a plummeting passenger jet - as happened in Guardian Angels.

 

So what can they do?
They resort to the Harmonic Union.

 

Let's imagine our candidates above employ a simple program with an augmentation Factor - called a Choral Resonance Factor - (CRF) of only 10%. 

 

First of all, they create a placebo type nexus into which the amplification module is placed. In this case, 10%.

Then A (15) links to B (18)

Usually, this would provide a PSQ of 33 - BUT, this is where the CRF kicks in, because the nexus augments their combined energy by 10% to a new threshold of 36.6.

 

The final operator to link into a Harmonic Union is the Primary. They are the Director of the concert, in that they execute Executive Control over how the power is employed.

 

In the case above, C (10) now adds their strength.

36.6 + 10 = 46.3 + 10% CRF = 50.93.

 

Do you see how valuable the Harmonic Union can be? Already, our 3 friend above have boosted their strength to a PSQ of just under 51.

 

To help you get a grasp of the concept - look at the schematic below:

 

You can imagine how powerful things can get when transcended Guardians add their potency to such a program, especially when the more sophisticated procedures employ a CRF ramping into the 100's.

So, the next time you're reading through the mind-blowing exploits of the Guardians, just imagine what it would be like to harness such godlike energies within your own mind.

 

What would YOU do with such power?

 

 

Are you thankful that the Guardians have to go through such rigorous selection and training procedures?

 

I know I am.
