Meanwhile Xan had a backstory, but he's evolved so far from his original character concept that it's basically become irrelevant, and I consider him to have mostly forgotten it beyond a few things by now due to all the dying and reincarnation.
About the only thing he remembers is how he used to believe that the natural state of life was death.

That idea seems... wrong, but strangely I think Eddie might be moving in that direction, which is a little scary.  When I think of someone who might believe that, they certainly don't seem like a very nice person...

It's Xan, he's never been nice nor ever will be. As soon as ultimate safety is assured recompense will be collected in full.
A great toll will be made.

Also he never really stopped believing in that, it's just that the simplicity of his faith evolved. Before he was aware of anyone else he didn't see himself as an exception to the corpses, just a moving one. Now that he's had some time to digest his interactions with others...

All is meat. Human flesh, haebi fungus, synthflesh, all of it meat. All structured differently, all easy enough for someone like him to grasp how it works. He's done that. Now he focuses on that which pilots the meat. The fact that he's died and yet remains proves to his mind that there's something there. He will grasp and consume it as he has done the flesh. It is only a matter of time and prudence.

And the main reason I discuss this so much in OOC is because his hard-earned prudence means he'll hardly ever if at all talk about it with anyone else.

((Goddamnit. We really should have just infused the whole damn area with cold in hindsight.))
But the thing that's happening might cause the automanips to become more powerful. Remember how the gravity fluctuated on ship before Steve shut it down? Imagine something similar. With things getting frozen to absolute zero and then getting heated up, perhaps creating some very strong wind or even explosions of gas in the process. Depending on how far their range extends, it might mean different things. I'll edit my turn with some conditional actions to account for that.

Damn you M21. M23 was going so well. We might have even completed the order within a year or two, game time.

Now, I am at a bit of a loss as to how to proceed, largely due to ignorance of options other than what has been relied upon to this point.

We are glad to help you cock up your mission. After all we're all in same business of fucking things up.

Like Steve said, let's just steer clear of them.

I'd be worried about the potential attention, honestly. Attention isn't what you want.

If we indeed have IC advance warning of impending amp failure, that means some planets are getting hit before others, Im having the sons set me up with a contact on ome of the advance planets. My curremt persona is a up am coming business man in a shipping company. When my contact told me of a potential game changer in the shipping industy, my eyes flashed dollar signs.

Im already doing some things that may attract a minor amount of attention, so Vincent has adopted a persona to give less suspicious explainations for any attention recieved. (He is already working full time at a shipping company the sons own, as he is trying to provide a convincing reason as to why this company wants to take the planets prisoners off planet, the fact he is already working for this company makes it convienent for him to set up a new port, if attention arrives, he is doong all this for money and status)


(sorry about the terribad spelling, my phone sucks)

Depends how fast the space magic moves.

Does it move at the speed of Light? Dark*? Narrative**?


*Faster than light, otherwise it wouldn't be able to get out of light's way.
**Exactly as fast as the story allows.

I wonder if we could harness the speed of dark to drive spaceships.
