Wait, who's staying on Hephausteus?

PyroDesu            (Simus)
Sean Mirrsen      (Anton)
GreatWyrmGold (Grate)
syvarris               (Saint)

I think?
Empiricist           (Charles)

That's everyone that I can remember off the top of my head.  There might be someone else.

And IIRC, Xan arranged with Simus to have a clone of him put into safe keeping, in case he died.  Saint propably isn't even allowed to know that, sadly.

Begin writing biography. Contact publishing company about book deal.

You stare at a blank word processor screen for days without inspiration. Been there buddy.

It seems Magilla's artifact is showing the characters what they desire according to piecewise's viewpoint, unless he PMed Harry to make the whole thing more accurate. If it is based solely on the GM's idea of what the character likes, I think we could have some rather hilarious inconsistencies happen.

[darkpaladin109]

Yep. Harry was right about that, at least.

Where are we going?

[kisame12794]

Something about a black ops mission, a visit to an old friend, and an arctic expedition.

[Caellath]

We haven't been told where. Somewhere in space, apparently with three different mission opportunities. Edit: As kisame said.

@Pancaek: Piecewise said the stealth body can't take hits much better than a standard robo-body. It may be kind of a problem since normal synth-flesh bodies can take quite a bit of punishment.

So who is the old friend?   Who didn't we leave dead?  A quick list:


The brain guy from Mission 2
The Serial Killer from Mission 5 (probably dead per Steve)
Conrad from Mission 6 (probably dead by time dilation)
The snowglobe guy from Mission 7 (I doubt it)
The Ghost Ship from Mission 9
The Messenger from Mission 10

Of course, it could be an old friend of Steve that we haven't actually met.

[IronyOwl]

Someone should probably ask about life expectancy of people (in terms of old age) who are just brains in jars.

I believe I did ask about robot body people, and I believe the answer was around 200 years. A brain in a glass jar probably isn't that much different from a brain in a mobile metal can.

So who is the old friend?   Who didn't we leave dead?  A quick list:


The brain guy from Mission 2
The Serial Killer from Mission 5 (probably dead per Steve)
Conrad from Mission 6 (probably dead by time dilation)
The snowglobe guy from Mission 7 (I doubt it)
The Ghost Ship from Mission 9
The Messenger from Mission 10

Of course, it could be an old friend of Steve that we haven't actually met.

The Messenger was the one who immediately came to mind, and I get the feeling PW is sadistic enough to want "an old friend" to refer to someone we know.

Good idea for newbies to come, or should they stay?

[Toaster]

There are going to be three missions, so I imagine at least one will be newbie "friendly."

[Parisbre56]

Old friend might not necessarily mean a human or a man made object...

Completely irrelevant: Do you think we could weaponize the soundworm? Infiltrate a UWM comm hub and upload it there? Then all the UWM soldiers start killing each other.

[Tavik Toth]

Old friend might not necessarily mean an a man made object...

Now, what a have we fought and isn't dead that wasn't man made...?

[Caellath]

Good idea for newbies to come, or should they stay?

Well, the ship is moving somewhere so everyone not staying in Hephaestus with Simus for their research and development thing is getting forced into stasis and coming along. As for the mission difficulty, we'll have to wait and see. Like Toaster said, at least one of them is probably newbie friendly to an extent.

And Black Ops means further headaches for Milno since it may mean yet another mission without his reliable armor.

[Radio Controlled]

Ooh, I hope (though doubt) we revisit Logos. Would love to chat with that AI again.
