A '''taser''' is a weapon capable of delivering an electric shock. Chris believed he could harness a taser's power as a means to activate the [[Dimensional Merge]], wanting to use it to shock his Gate Crystal and Celestial Key [[Quartz crystals|magic quartz stones]], believing the spark could open an interdimensional portal and therefore bring about the Merge.


This attempt to break the [[Iron Curtain]] led to controversy. Chris wanted to borrow [[Praetor]]'s taser to conduct this experiment, which Praetor had a supply of as they wished to sell autographed tasers on their [[Etsy]] shop. While Praetor initially agreed to meet with him and supervise the experiment, the [[Watchmen]] white knight group opposed the plan, believing Chris's safety to be at risk. Watchmen members [[Naught]] and [[MKRNightVee]] then launched a smear campaign against Praetor, creating and spreading rumors by taking out-of-context segments from conversations with Praetor and spinning those to create the impression Praetor wished to get Chris to use a taser on himself. This action in turn led to tension between the Watchmen group and Chris, who criticized the group's treatment towards Praetor.

From June onwards, Chris has been spotted in a number of locations around the state of Virginia, including Williamsburg, Lynchburg, Bedford and Ruckersville.

As of August, it has been confirmed that Chris once again has his own car.
