[KaineFisher]

What about the idea for cyborg soldiers I just posted?

[~Neri]

Well seeing how Akras already has clone killsquads. It technically would only be an expensive step forward to make em cyborgs.

[KaineFisher]

The initial investment would be paid off by removing most of the potential for human error in human soldiers while keeping adaptability and no threat of a possible uncontrolled AI.

[~Neri]

Well seeing how proper full body military augs are 100C. They would be p fucking expensive.

[KaineFisher]

That's why you have the brains in VR first. The best soldiers in VR get to do it IRL, and those who fail get used for their souls.

So the cost is offset either way.

[Kuma]

You could try VRed monkeys. A VRed monkey would Not have a Quality Vessel unless it actually has a body. IE: You'd get more out of plugging a whole monkey into a VR than you would from plugging a brain in.

Yeah that's what I meant. You'd plug the whole monkey into the VR.

[~Neri]

That would work.

[KaineFisher]

Which of us are you saying that to?

[somemildmanneredidiot]

You could try VRed monkeys. A VRed monkey would Not have a Quality Vessel unless it actually has a body. IE: You'd get more out of plugging a whole monkey into a VR than you would from plugging a brain in.

The question then becomes, is a VRed Monkey better than a Cage Monkey, and is it better than a zoo monkey?

[Kuma]

What if Akras did a matrix type setup of having humans hooked up to VRs and then harvesting them when they needed souls. It would be a high quality vessel and mind and since they grow up only knowing the VR they wouldn't know to rebel and pose minimal threat.

[~Neri]

Both of ya.

And that is something for ya to experiment with~

[Kuma]

Nah lol my character wouldn't care about harvesting souls. I was just contributing to the discussion anyone else tho feel free to use the matrix.

[somemildmanneredidiot]

Basically we're coming up for ideas for Tal and KaineFisher cause all of our characters have different areas of interest.

[KaineFisher]

Khaiden wouldn't have the knowledge of it, so that's out of the question.

I'm coming up with backup character ideas, so maybe one of them.

[BrabblingBook]

So here's my character sheet, hope it's ok

Backstory:
One of the numerous researchers working under the command of the Orcish chieftain known as Surpigig, Dr Obduld is intensely focused on combining the arcane with technology; wherever it be creating artificial magical energy sources or manufacturing spells in a scientific environment. Now wherever any of these tests have actually worked is questionable, with the most noteworthy of Obdulds’ experiences being one which resulted in the death of the tribes’ previous chieftain.

Unfortunately for Dr Obduld and his associates, Surpigig heavily restricted the technology which they could work with. This was most likely a preventative measure on Surpigigs’ part, to avoid meeting the same fate as the previous chieftain. Dismayed at the lack of ‘scientific thinking’ of their current leader, Dr Obduld and several other goblin researchers applied for an environment with far greater technology; Akras.

Description:
Garbed in a dishevelled set of clothes, and an oversized lab coat, Dr Obduld is an elderly goblin with an erratic white beard covering the dull green skin of his face. Due to the failure of a previous experiment, his left leg has had to be replaced with a primitive false leg.
