What: The TwinGear project was created by the Genetically Modified Humanities corporation. 60 Gears were crafted for the purpose of settling disputes without the wastage of resources. After their initial creation, many were purchased by the United Federated Alliance, and many more managed to purchase or achieve their own Independance. The GMH decided to retain the remaining Gears for their own lucrative ends. 

Where: In the depths of space. Without a home planet, humans set out on a series of ships built by either the UFA Foundary or the GMH Stellar Division. They made waystations and refuelling pits on any number of asteroids, created floating colonies on space satelites, or remained on the original ark ships they had set out on. Scattered and without steady resources, they have taken to exploring and scavenging the rocks between the stars for a chunk of land to call home or the phenocryst veins that can keep their equipment and colonies going. 

When: Unknown by an A.D. calendar. The last documented year of the A.D. calendar was 2156, when the Nuclear War began. In UFA records, the year is 456 P.N. (Post Nuclear).
 
Why: Without a steady source of resources, the act of warfare was banned by the UFA and supplemented by the GMH organization. All acts of warfare were deemed terrorist actions that would be treated with the death penalty without trial. Granted, amongst a landless people, disputes were going to arrise. The solution of how to deal with them was ingeniously provided by GMH with their revolutionary TwinGear system. Each side of a dispute would hire a Gear (if one could not afford to hire a Gear, a random Gear would be assigned), with 3 the maximum number of Gears each side was able to hire. The Gears would then be plugged into the Neural Arena where they would both access the cerebral battlefiend and duel to determine which side was the victor. Regardless of the events within the Arena, the physical bodies of the Gears remained unharmed, and so would never be depleted. The public gained an immensely popular form of entertainment, and war was prevented.

Laws of the Neural Arena:

1. The aggressive party makes first choice of a Gear, and then the defendant can select his/her Gear based on the profile of the attacking Gear.
2. Once Gears have been selected they may not be switched out under any circumstances.
3. If one side selects a Twin Gear, the other may hire an additional Gear to make even numbers. This is not a requirement but a courtesy.
4. Combat begins when both Gears enter the field.
5. At no point during combat may they leave the field.
6. The combat is to the death and the Gear may not be switched at any time after hiring.
7. When a Gear dies in the Arena space, the fight is over, the Neural Field shuts off, and the Gears are returned to their “Core” state.
8. A gear may only use what equipment or skill which he/she can manifest within the Neural Arena.
9. The appearance of the Neural Arena is the co-operative projection of the two gears. The setting is selected by their choice. If either of the combating Gears is a Prism type, he or she may change the appearance of the Arena at will.
10. A gear may accept a fee for fighting but retains no rights over the resources, territory or cause for which he/she has been hired to fight.
11. What happens in the Neural Arena stays in the Neural Arena. No fight may be continued after the fight is over.
12. Outcomes of Gear Combat are final. In the event of a double-kill, however, a rematch may be fought at a later date. The same Gears must refight the issue.
13. The group or organization supplying the Gears earn all proceeds of the Arena attendance and advertising.

There are 30 Female Gears and 30 Male Gears.

There are 5 types of Gears, and there are 12 of each type in the 60 total Gears.

Prisms: Gears that derive their power directly from manipulating the Arena setting and using terrain against their opponents. Sometimes called Neuromaniacs.

            Prism Gears: Lobellia 3, Urania 8, Galena 26, Cosmos 29, Chione 50, Spica 55.

Streaks: Gears that derive their skills from manifesting forms of raw power in the Arena in the form of “magic”, abilities, energy manipulation etc.

            Streak Gears: Ikarus 1, Abriam 2, Zyssin 5, Polyhymnia 9, Melpomene 12, Pulsar 21, Alberio 48, Corpus 49.

Striations: Gears that manifest some amount of equipment which they call into existence as they require it and use it against their opponents. Examples being familiars, weapons, vehicles, tools, equipment, etc.

            Striation Gears: Theo 4, Clio 7, Melanthus 15, Aldebaran 53, Fomalhaut 56.

Hardness: Gears who intimidate their opponent and derive their power from damaging, frightening, siphoning or otherwise manipulating their opponent.

            Hardness Gears: Thalia 10, Sirius 17, Perseus 19, Phobos 41, Mnemosyne 42, Cleopatra 46.

Ores: Gears who manifest powers based on their opponent’s abilities or attacks. They accumulate power based on the damage or influence of their scenario or the hits they’ve taken to generate unique abilities of their own.

            Ore Gears: Euterpe 13, Calliope 14, Quasar 22, Phoenix 34, Apocalypse 59, Daedalus 60.

            Twin Gears: Ikarus + Daedalus; Perseus + Theseus + Odysseus; Calliope + Clio + Melpomene + Polyhymnia + Urania + Euterpe + Thalia + Erato + Terpsichore; Castor + Pollux; Polaris X Sirius X Altair; Deimos + Phobos; Pulsar X Quasar. ( + implies co-operative skills, X means nemesis skills)

Terminology:

Amefeb: P7. Amefeb is very common and is generally found in massive veins, which can be broken down into smaller, more usable forms of metosomatics. While stable in energy output, the amount of energy that Amefeb gives off is not enough for any huge enterprise. It is however, due to its safe and low level of power, and its wide availability extremely useful in smaller tools, like computers, medical implements, cooking equipment, automatic doors, small robots and other gadgets. It functions well under high heat, and is resistant to all acids except for hydrofluoric. Exposure to hydrofluoric acid causes the Amefeb to shatter into fragments and imbed themselves in the closest source of metal.   

Anhedral: A class of ship designed and manufactured by the GMH Stellar division. Anhedrals are large and slow-moving, but incredibly resistant to damage and known for their smooth controls. They are used for transporting goods, such as cargo, supplies, phenocryst, metosomatics, prisoners, and colonists.

Aquamar: P7-8. Aquamar is one of the unstable Metosomatics, and fluctuates between a power level of 7 and 8. They are round in shape, generally 18’ across and prismatic in appearance. They are used in levitation systems, especially for keeping Out Posts, colonies or machinery suspended in certain environments to that they are able to function. This levitation has a constant slight movement either from side to side or up and down due to the instability of its metosomatic. Those who work or like on them on a regular basis say that each Aquamar has its own “cradle” that is part of its charm. You get used to the rhythm. They say that those who grow up on the Aquamar Stations are incredibly mobile and agile.

Aureoles: An Aureole is a civilian base or ship controlled by or under leadership of the UFA. Aureoles compose about 80% of the remaining human population, and an unknown number of alien species who have come to live on Aureole Worlds.

Batholith: A class of ship designed and manufactured by the UFA. The Batholiths are designed as colonist ships. They are not particularly fast moving, but are able to jump light speed, and are a meagre but comfortable ride. They are strictly government regulated and carry basic supplies and equipment to initiate colonies. The Batholiths are actually designed to – once settled on the target land space – to unfold and develop as the core of the new colony, using metosomatics to initiate gravity control, atmospheric pressure, and other required living conditions.

Carat: A Gear’s Carat is his wins ratio. For every win, the Gear gains a Carat, for every loss, the Gear loses a Carat and ties award no score. Therefore the Gears with the highest Carats are the ones with the most wins and the least losses. There is a belief among many of the Gears that the higher one’s Carat becomes the more power he or she can manifest in the Neural Arenas.

Core: A Core is the state of a Gear outside of an arena. They are bald and unexceptional in physical features, with no cybernetics or immunity implants. Each Core has a distinguishing tattoo marked on his or her face which enables them to be recognized with their alternate Gear form.  

Diaap: P10. Diaap is the rarest and most coveted form of Metosomatic. Not only does it have the highest power output, it is also the most stable and hardest to damage. It is ideal for running massive areas requiring power, such as Way Stations and Arks. It is long-burning, stable output energy that can handle mass re-routing to other systems. It also has the ability to stabilize terra forming machinery.

Emermay: P7. This green metosomatic is rare and highly valuable. It produces a stable energy that is highly resistant to wear and the effects of other metosomatics. It is small and prismatic in appearance and powers personal or portable stasis systems, enabling those who travel outside in raw space to have air, pressure resistance and temperature control.

Erghul: One of the alien races encountered in the deep spaces. Erghul have a peaceful standing with the UFA, but do not conform to all of their bylaws. The racial slur for an Erghul is a Ghoulie or Ghoul. The Erghul are the ones who perfected the process of forming phenocryst into metosomatics. The names of the types of phenocryst are words of their language that refer to their gods.  

Euhedral: A class of ship designed and manufactured by the GMH Stellar division. The Euhedrals are meant for temporary or quick transport. They are capable of crossing vast distances at reasonable speeds and can affect light speed. They are used to transport paying viewers to Arenas for Gear Combat, as well as basic transport. There is a system of Euhedrals that traverse the main points in the galaxy on which people can buy passage to arrive at various key ports. To arrive at more remote locations, individuals need to then hire out a private ship (either another Euhedral, or a Scree, or in limited locations a Lacolith).

Garjan: P6.5-7.5. Another very common metosomatic, Garjan gives off a far-reaching light of red to brown colour. It is flickering or fluctuating in brightness, but runs for a long time. Occassionally it develops a blockage of energy, causing it to not only short out, but to short out any other metosomatic within its normal field of light. This is easily remedied by feeding the Garjan olivine or pyroxene. Frequent feedings of Hornblende can prevent these shortages. It is used in flares, lighting within bases, portable lamps and any other situation in which artificial lighting is required. 

Gear: A genetically modified human with the ability to manifest powers, abilities or supplies within a Neural Arena’s field. The process has made them superhuman in a Neural field, but in their Core forms they tend to be weak, dull, susceptible to disease and lethargic. This enables them to be easily controlled by their owners. Some have developed more functioning capacity outside the Arenas, and most Gears attribute this to their Carat rating.

Genetically Modified Humans: Also called the GMH, is an organization independent from governing bodies in the universe. It was initially a pharmaceutical company that merged with a scientific institution to study the possibility of simply modifying humans to treat and prevent disease. Their discoveries led to the creation of the Gears and the Neural Arena Systems. The sub-corporation of the Genetically Modified human Projects or GMHP is now in control of organizing all Gear fights, and Arena maintenance, advertising and attendance. They work co-operatively with the UFA. They also control corporations responsible for production of everything from food and clothing to machinery and medicinals.

Independents: Nearly all Independents are outlaws, as they are individuals acting against GMH or UFA guidelines. Many Trassis, traders, bounty hunters and criminals are Independents. They are differentiated from Pseudomorphs as they typically act by themselves or with a small crew, and do not usually have any base outpost or way station that is their home.  

Lacolith: A class of ship designed and manufactured by the UFA. The Lacoliths are medium sized ships meant for travel. They have ample storage space and require a fair number of personnel. They travel the galaxy stopping in at outposts, way stations, salvage stations and the like checking in on Aureoles and collecting taxes, enforcing the law, and working treaties. They occasionally take over Independent ships they cross and confiscate material or make arrests.

Llamallar: A class of ship designed and manufactured by the GMH. The Llamallars are also called Arks, and are travelling living stations. Like ooliths they have all manner of civilian life and security, but these ships are cruisers, travelling through space. The Llamallars not only patron outer regions of space, they are also ambassadors for the GMH Trading division, or the UFA officials. They typically have a higher ratio of non-human races living aboard them, and are often centres of education of training, and meetings for a multitude of organizations who prefer the concept of a meeting place that is less predictable in its co-ordinates. They are typically well-outfitted with armed sentinels.

Metosomatics: A series of energy powered creations using forms of phenocryst. So far there have been 14 varieties detected and fashioned: Turdec, Pejun, Peridaug, Garjan, Amefeb, Emermay, Sardonaug, Tourmaloc, Zirdec, Aquamar, Topanov, Rubjul, Saphsep, and Diaap. I.e. The verna gonna dark it cuz sheni Saphsep worn out.

Neural Arena: A gateway space used in the network of Neural Arena Systems. There are both physical seating spaces around these Arenas to watch the fights, and they are also broadcast encoded to those who pay for viewing. These spaces have a maximum of 6 Sieves, and an open space that has been cleared for combat. These Neural arenas are set on travelling satellites, asteroids and way stations throughout the galaxy.

Neural Arena Systems Sensors: usually called NASS, the computer program that keeps status readings on the goings on of a battle. The NASS translates the neural activity of the Gears and projects a field that enables the spectators to see what the Gears are manifesting and seeing within the fight. The NASS possesses limited A.I.   

Oolith: A class of ship designed and manufactured by the UFA. The Ooliths are also known as Way Stations, and are basically floating cities. The Ooliths use gravity systems to remain in fixed locations, but are otherwise completely man-made living bases. As a home base for workers, citizens and officials, the Ooliths are perfect stopping points for those needing to resupply, rest or pit stop on their way to somewhere else. Since they are mainly residential they are very well-regulated and peaceful locations. Fighting on an Oolith comes with strict consequences. Because of their safety and numbers of people, banking houses do well based on Ooliths. They are typically well-armed with UFA soldiers.

Pejun: P5.5-6.5. Another of the more concentrated, lower levels, Pejun is too instable for long-term use. For short-term use it can be used in a hand-held type weapon like a laser gun called a Jun. These weapons cannot be gotten wet with water or they will melt and decompose into crystal-like substances that will embed in whatever organic matter was closest – such as the hand that holds it. The laser-like beam that it can fire in short bursts is able to bend around corners and angles if it is set on targeting. The entire weapon glows brightly in any of a variety of bright colours and cannot be cloaked.

Peridaug: P6.5-7. This green metosomatic is compact, thick and wedge shaped with an unstable but potent power level. Because of its short range and instability, it is only used in hand held weapons referred to in slang as Dogs. These weapons fire a short blinding flash of green light that melts whatever it lands on. The melting substance is sticky and hard to remove once it adheres, and is good for opening holes in doors, melting opposing weapons, eating holes in people’s flesh etc. The body of the Dog itself is transparent and it can be cloaked to not be picked up by machinery or scanners.

Phenocryst: The crystal-like energy matrix found in the galaxy. Depending on its size and purity, and the groundmass in which it developed, it can be fashioned into various forms of Metosomatics, which are used to power everything from weapons to cruiser ships.

Pitholith: A class of ship designed and manufactured by the UFA. It is a small fighter style ship that can be manned solo, but can have a maximum crew of 4 people. They cannot travel long distances, but are incredible agile and fast, and comprise the soldier forces of the UFA. When they need to fight physically against alien races or Independent attacks, they use the Pitholiths.

Power Level: Power rating, or P Scale tells you how potent a source of energy a certain substance is, up until the discovery of phenocryst, the highest rating was Pluton-powered machinery and weapons which was highly unstable and extremely dangerous for exposure levels. Pluton was rated as a P4. The phenocrysts are generally rated from 5 to 10 in strength.

Pseudomorphs: Pseudomorphs are any way station, out post, ship or colony that has broken away from the UFA but still holds itself together under some form of localized Independent government or organization.

Rubjul: P9. Rubjul is red or red and white in colour, incredibly dense and extremely heavy. It is used in propulsion systems for powering traveling ships through space. It is usually used in tandem with other Rubjul metosomatics to increase speed and distance in faster ships like the Pitholith and Scree. It is immune to acids, and puts off powerful radiation, which needs to be shielded against. If it is not shielded, it can mutate and become unstable.

Saphsep: P9. Usually massive in size, immune to acids and double-helix in shape, this blue metosomatic has similar applications to Diaap. It cannot be rerouted the way Diaap can, making it unusable by massive colonies or Way Stations. It is generally used as a generator and atmospheric stabilizer for air and heat in smaller locations, like Out Posts, Vernas, Quarries and the like. The interesting thing about Saphsep is that it can be cloaked from being picked up by sensors, enabling independents to keep locations more secret. It also can be recharged, or prolonged in its life by cartridges of Peridaug.

Sardonaug: P7. Sardonaug metosomatics can be compacted into small spaces if need be, so long as they have some sort of container in which to keep them. They produce an off-flowing of a lava-like substance that is incredibly cold and will instantly frostbite anything that touches it. The Sardonaug will only produce so much as it has space for, so keeping it in a small container will prevent it from producing too much. Its glow is alternating between grey, red, white and black, and it will flicker between these colours. It has an immense gravity, and is understandably used in gravity generators to maintain an earth-like level of gravity on Way stations, Out Posts, UFA bases, GMH bases, Arenas and arks.

Scree: A class of ship designed independently and manufactured throughout the galaxy by alien workmen or Independents. The Scree are made of scrap parts and salvage materials, so they tend to be a little less reliable than UFA ships or as easily repaired as GMH models. They are however, the fastest known ship in the galaxy, and are typically armed with metosomatics. They can carry anywhere from 1 to 6 people, and affect a single jump in light speed before they need to replace their phenocryst.

Topanov: P8. Topanov is one of the only metosomatics that gives off no visible glow. It develops in huge veins, and often has a vein of another type of phenocryst growing within it somewhere. It’s immune to both acid damage, does not short out machinery and actually grows harder in fire, making it perfect for powering heavy machinery, such as drillers, excavators, junk haulers and other heavy labour machinery. Due to its lack of radiation, it’s quite safe to handle by hand, and can’t be picked up by scanners, making it easy to cloak and smuggle.

Tourmaloc: P7-7.5. Fashioned round or triangular, the Tourmaloc metosomatics are drawing in nature. They are used in traction beams for their ability to pull other things towards them without causing harm to the object they have fixed on. They are used by haulers, UFA ships, docking systems and machinery. It can produce a delicate beam in a pale pink, yellow or green colour that is fine enough to pick up specific bolts, and as the beam grows in strength and diameter its colour deepens to pull things as vast as other ships, asteroids or small moons closer.

Turdec: P5-6. Turdec, while not very common, is also the weakest form of metosomatic. When a vein can be found, there is generally a font of Turdec to be excavated, but finding these veins is very difficult. It is unstable, and easily damaged by hydrochloric acid, aluminum or water contact. However, it is useful as a hand-held weapon. It is bright blue in colour, and fires a burst of light green light that is effective in shorting out electrical systems, doing shock damage to whomever it hits, putting out lights and shorting electrical circuits. The weapon is small and short-barrelled, making it easily hidden in clothing or luggage. These weapons are called Deckers.

United Federated Alliance: Also called the UFA, is the governing body controlling the galaxy as inhabited by Humans. They have many treaties and standing with alternate alien races to maintain peaceful relations for trade and travel purposes. The UFA currently have alliance with the GMH corporations, the human race, the Erghol race, the Sektaran race and the Burdisshi race.

Zirdec: P7.5. Zirdec, like Topanov, gives off no visible glow. It is fairly common and is usually found in twin veins. They say that if you find a vein of Zirdec, keep digging, you’ll find another. It has many peculiar qualities that make it difficult to use. It gives off a constant level of radiation that can cause havoc on systems, equipment and personal health, unless kept in check with markers of uranium or thonium. It is erosive in nature, and can wear out and weaken other Metosomatics if left in contact with them for too long. Where it comes in handy is that Zirdec is actually able to pick up on all manner of energy fields, including those of phenocryst and metosomatics. It is used in sensors in way stations and UFA bases, as well as in certain independent trading Vernas and in ships navigational systems as a beacon to search out deposits and veins of phenocryst, or to pick up on what sort of metosomatics an enemy base or ship is employing.

Dialogue:

The language of the future has understandably changed. There are a whole new set of profanities, slangs and terms that are used in the dialogue of the story. Grammatically, many connectors were discarded as erroneous, and many others were contracted. In any case where more than one connecter was needed, one was either amalgamated into the other or one was discarded, such as ‘on it’ becomes ‘onit’, ‘after all’ becomes ‘afteral’ etc. The verb To Be was greatly changed, where the form of ‘is’ is changed to a suffix of –sa on the end of whatever word ‘is’. The past tense is still ‘was’, though the plural of ‘were’ has been reverted also to ‘was’. For instance ‘we was there and they was too’. The suffix –ing for any verb has been simplified to –in. 

Lexicon in Brief:

Affim: From the old English “Affirmative” Affim is an agreement or a ‘yes, sir!’ in response to something a superior or Boss says. i.e. Affim, Boss, we get onit pronto.

An: The replacement for ‘and’. The use of an and a as pronouns is defunct.

Base: A term for a location, place or worksite. A Base is any place that people get together for a purpose, such as a tavern, office etc. i.e. Can curra down the base.

Boss: Anyone who is a superior, a captain of a ship, a government agent, an employer, a mayor. All these people are referred to as Boss. i.e. Bossa coming check see if itsa crystal.

Brawny: Slang for difficult, tedious, time-consuming or otherwise hard to do. i.e. The jobsa brawny butta capsa crystal.

Canna: The negative form of can, the replacement for ‘can’t’.

Cap: The slang for money. The UFA instituted a “universal” currency that could be traded between humans and alien nations alike. They control the mint for this currency called “Capitol”, or Cap for short. Cap has use in UFA institutions like hospitals and with the GMH corporations, and direct for goods in some of the more civilized parts of the galaxy. In most backwater places and outposts, they will only trade goods for goods and have no use for Cap. i.e. Pejun running 40 cap a vein, these days.

Clear: Slang for someone being serious, both in cases of authority, “Boss was clear” or in colloquial settings to mean that news or information is true. The term Solid is also used to mean that information was checked out to be reliable. i.e. The flap we heard was clear afteral.  

Crystal: Slang for something that is good, perfect or ideal. It can also be used in sarcasm to imply something is far less than ideal. i.e. The pell was scrap butta davers was crystal.

Curra: A slang term from the old English “occur”. It is used to talk about something that has happened, or can happen. i.e. The fight curra yesterday.

Dark: A term for anything closing down, being abandoned, shutting off, running out of power. It is generally considered a bad connotation, and there is a growing superstition around the concept of something being Dark. It is also used in profanities, such as “Dark it” meaning to kill someone, destroy something or otherwise sabotage; the term “Dark shen” loosely is equivalent to the old English ‘fuck you’.  i.e. We found a pitholith drifting dark.

Daver: A slang term for a body, especially one that is dead or has little worth to the speaker, such as a prostitute or grunt worker. It comes from the old English word “cadaver”. i.e. Boss wants twenty more davers onna base.

Flap: Slang for talk, rumours or news. Flap refers to something you heard or that was said. i.e. Shen flapsa all scrap, clear.

Giver: Slang meaning easy, simple or quick to do. i.e. Pell giver to make, but eatins brawny.

Lists: Plans, tasks, events. Lists comes from itemized to do lists, in which a set order or schedule needed to be followed. It has extended to refer to any intended activity.

Mins: A term coming from the old English ‘minutes’ abbreviation. Most measurements for efficiency are done in mins and secs.

Pell: A term for all food. It comes from the development of food pellets or rations that were used in the arks and armies. i.e. The pell cargo was lifted by some Ghoulies.  

Pick: Not too different from its original meaning, to pick something is not only to select it, but also to buy. i.e. Boss wants to pick some phenocryst at port.

Ports:  Any transport unit, but most commonly used for vehicles on the ground or surface of a roid rather than through space. Also see: monoports (a single-wheeled bike); biports (motorcycle); triports (trike); quadports (car/van); baseports (work machine such as a tracker, forklift etc).

Roid: Meaning an asteroid or other organic body that floats or moves through space. From the old English “Asteroid”, it applies not only to asteroids, but also moons or planets that are otherwise uninhabitable, but might be potential sources of phenocryst or other supplies. i.e. The Outpostsa on roid overbe Ursa Major. 

Scannies: Slang for being naked, but also being exposed, embarrassed, or otherwised disadvantaged. It comes from the term To Scan, in reference of the scanners that check every individual embarking and disembarking from any vessel, colony or station. i.e. Wesa been in verna not five mins, some Trassi picked our cap and left us scannies.

Scrap: Slang for something of cheap, poor or damaged quality. It is usually used to refer to goods, but occasionally is used in conjunction with people. i.e. Boss won pick it, trassi, itsa scrap.

Secs: A term coming from the old English ‘Seconds’ abbreviation. Most measurements for efficiency are done in mins and secs.

Shen: The new pronoun for ‘he or she’. After the Equality Movement, pronouns that did not distinguish between gender were instated for political correctness. Shen is the equivalent of He or She, then the subject could be either. The form Sheni is the equivalent of His or Her. I.e. Wesa go to sheni house later to see what sorta job shen wants done. 

Stas: Slang for a break, vacation, sabbatical or simply playing hookie. It comes from the old English word for Stasis. i.e. I need to go a stas.

Stellar: Slang for impressive, beautiful, expansive, expensive. i.e. The davers was stellar atta Verna.

Tick: A slang term for the price or worth of something. Good tick being a good value, and No Tick being a rip-off or unreasonable price. i.e. The pell was thirty cap good tick.

Ticky: A sale, a lowered price, a market. Any gathering in which goods are sold for Cap, rather than bartered.

Trassi: A term referring to any out-poster or drifter. Trassi are usually traders, but not always. It may come from the old English “traverse”, though others place it with the Erghul tongue of “Trhagssi” meaning Drifter. i.e. Down verna was nothing but trassi and davers.  

Vein: The use of measurement for the phenocryst deposits. i.e. The roid had crystal vein of diaap, clear!

Verna: A term for a hostel, tavern or brothel. It comes from the old English “Tavern”. i.e. Itsa crystal verna for the tick.

Won: The shortened form of Won’t. In most post-war talk, contractions were discarded in favour of shorter conjunctions like itsa instead of it’s, won instead of won’t. Other examples being Don instead of Don’t, Canna instead of can’t, Shounna instead of shouldn’t, etc. i.e. Boss won take the job.
