For the record, I PM'd him immediately, just to get things to proceed smoother. (And then later got a reply to an unrelated earlier PM.) So I guess he either missed it, hadn't had time yet, or decided to let the storm brew a bit.

You're welcome to PM him again. I just don't want to spam him since I'd rather give him the benefit of the doubt for now.


Also, I think the Altered are (by large part) unaffected by the Lurker presence. I believe Piecewise said something like this or something, but I might be mistaken; still, he didn't mention IVAN-treatment getting more hazardous when talking about affected things in the Armory, and Steve didn't say anything on the matter when he addressed the Altered slowing down the Lurker.

Maybe it's because they're, just like humans, are a bit remote offshot from the Origin. (More remote than the amps/manips, at least.)

Someone said Milno's opinion is "Xenos BAD", which isn't entirely true. He's been dealing with the alien power source, after all, though carefully. Incidentally, that's a good way to show how he thinks such things should be handled: he's talked to the power source but has done so with a good measure of care. Trying to make oneself into a god is a much trickier issue.

OOC the power grab was an interesting move. Too bad it'll delay things even more now.

"Hey steve." You speak into the air.

"Could you guys also make a hamburger out of this arm when they cut it off? I wanted to eat it just for the sake of tasting it."
>That is horrible and disgusting. It will no doubt set you apart and create fear in your team mates. So of course.

So it was like a binary search, except the question is "Has the input been brutally murdered?", and it only ever returns True.

Yep, I did. It's more of a telepathy thing, and it's quite a reasonable power core when you take the necessary precautions to talk to it before it turns your brain into mush.

Oh, sure. The chat was actually a short, funny dance of truths, half-truths and omissions. I intended to post them as soon as the talk ended but since I and pw messed things up - as you will notice by the timestamps - I forgot to do so. The lurker thing does shake things all over again since the UWM is basically defeated so the next talk Milno has with the power source will have a different tone, one that I still haven't decided on.

Here it is, without all the poking and OOC of the actual conversation.

So my plan for Trier, assuming whatever it was that was in that syringe doesn't end up killing him, was to try to resurrect some crystal people using the crystalline projector. If he ever gets that working, would Milno mind Trier borrowing the power source to test its effects on the crystal people?

Talk to Milno later, I believe we could strike a deal with the source.

Maurice is being an ass for recieving a slap-on-the-wrist punishment, ignoring it, and declaring himself the occupier of a position of power that grants him authority over others.  Threatening people with horrifying death if they don't do what you like is more abusive than anything the generals have done.

Doubly so for claiming that he follows Steve, but that doesn't extend to acknowleging those Steve gave power to is absurd and illogical.

And for the love of god people, this is why you have bailiffs.  Why the hell didn't you search the prisoner before the trial began?

Inventing his own oaths of office was a nice touch, but only reinforces the idea that he's nuttier than a batch of fruitcakes.

You do have to grant that it's gonna be intensely amusing when Steve most likely goes 'yeah no I agree with my generals' and then someone shoots him when he accidentally makes a "threatening" move. Happens all the time with police IRL.
