Project Psychonaut

There is a somewhat persistent myth that humans only use 10% of their brain power. Whilst this has proven to be untrue there still remains more questions than answers when it comes to exactly how our brains work. This is where Project Psychonaut came in.

The year was 1989 and the aim of the whole project was simple enough; to unleash the true potential of the human mind. From there it got a little complicated but Bob and Gary had been trained by the very best to be prepared for any eventuality. They’d even done some actual astronaut training with NASA.

On mission day they both consumed a herculean amount of a specially concocted mix of psychoactive chemicals. After 22 hours Bob regained consciousness and announced “We are the Godhead. All your base are belong to us” before being sedated and taken to Recovery. The information that was eventually gleaned from Bob would go on to form a whole new area of scientific study. That was over 30 years ago. Gary however still remains unconscious. It is speculated that his psychonaut avatar is still roaming the vast cosmos of his own mind looking for the key to unlocking humankind’s latent psionic abilities.

Well, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. I’ve got to have some reason to do the things I do...
