@IronyOwl Yeah, I have actually thought the same: even if the similarities are striking, they are most probably not "human" Altered, if anything. Also, the existence of this step in civilization evolution kind of brings together the lack of more advanced civilizations in this galaxy: they all must have reached the "Altered" state (alternatively, if that's not the same thing, "Quiet" state of the Quiet Worlds) and, well, they were no more; maybe they have destroyed themselves, fled this galaxy (actually, can Haebi be remnants of some other Altered civilization of prehistoric times?) or, well, left this world to join the embrace of daddy Space Cthulhu out there, from which all Altered originate.

Second thing, from all the hype about the Altered and nothing nearly as hyped about Haebi, maybe they have a "weaker" strain of the same genes? As in, the Altered probably did not have brain clusters, for example, like the synthflesh (which, in all likelihood, is also based either on genes of daddy Space Cthulhu or a stabilized Altered strain itself), did they? And I don't think we've seen enough physics-bending the Altered are also known for (yet another link to the synth-flesh).

Because other players keep getting me zapped for no reason and i want some sense of playability for my character.

Currently it feels like im playing a choose your own adventure game, minus the choose.

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

I have another fun tidbit to throw into flames. What's common between amp, manips, synth-flesh and Altered? Bending physics. Time frame of appearance. Too bad Haebi doesn't fit into this nicely. But like Nik said, it could be from another civilization.

Then this breaking of universe? Could it be because of continued presence of intelligence? Maybe this isn't first time it happened? I can smell sweet conspiracy here! Something is waking up!

I figure that if enough people get pissed at command's decisions we can break off and form our own counter-revolution group MRA: Movement of Raging Assholes.

Well why not speak to your superiors in IC?
I mean, if you grate off of them, see why you were electrocuted, then see if you can find some middle ground, it's become this weird cycle to me, kinda like the chicken and the egg, where I can't figure out if you were zapped because you were kinda dangerous, or you were kinda dangerous because you got zapped, they have a perfectly good reason for your shock implant not to be removed, at least until you've talked things through with them, why not just play with the artefact in the meantime? You aren't in any rush to remove it.

Oh im in a rush to remove it. I want it gone and i want it gone now.

Ive wanted it gone since the thing with Simus, the only reason ive held off till now was to protect you guys from me getting mindfucked. But thanks to your glorious leaders abusing authority they should never been given i can no longer afford that luxury.

I'm sorry guys, but I'll have to ask you to either work things through ic, or to take it to pm's. This is just asking people to barge in and comment, and things go downhill from there with this subject matter. So don't start, and don't enable each other, please.

You know let me just clear the "why" up for you anyway.

My entire enjoyment when playing this stems from the idea that i get to make a choice, and if im too greedy, or too careless, or simply too damn unlucky then i create a situation where i may get horribly maimed.

If i have an army of players with sticks up their butts saying "you cant do that, do this or we'll prevent the GM from running your action and/or try to have your character killed" and denying me my right to that choice, then what the fuck is the point of me even playing?

Dont answer that yet, take the night and think about it.

Um, Radio, his argument affects all of us, and it can't be argued properly IC because it's about a player's freedom of choice. It's right where it belongs here in the OOC thread.
