So, they wholesale giant robots? *cough*

You know...we never actually went there, so I don't know what the ST had in mind for inventory, but I don't see why there wouldn't be some 'mini-VARG' sans the weaponry available to the public. Basically an Agent with a skeleton type thing maybe? ::confused

[Forge]

Here is the Device 5's write-up I had in that game. Other characters in the game sort of got grumpy when I told them I had this, but then I said, "Well, I could take the Sentient, Teleporting bioVARG that is the example instead." They shutup after that.

It should be said that in the alternate timeline the Upeo went no-holds-barred crazy (think Event Horizon crazy) and disappeared which led to a mini-technology 'wall'. I will post more of his stuff when I find it.

FYI, the Upeo leaving incident is referred to as the 'Divergence'

Armadillo X5.9.2 with P.E.R.S.I.P.H.O.N.E.E. Agent

Brief History of Project Ambrosia

With the ‘Wall’ being hit in the late 22nd century, technology corporations turned towards the advancement of current technology to a sleeker, more compact form. The result of this also created a field of ‘amalgam’ technologies where basically they just tried to shove as much stuff into one piece of equipment that they could.

Shortly after the creation of the Tortoise Biocomp, the armor technology was adapted to the EES, or ‘sparkle suits’ as they were more causally known, and from this was born the Armadillo X1. An enhanced version of that first model is the only rendition that is still available on the market and is considered the staple of most Electrokinesis users.

Orgotek continued trying to cram as many bioapps into the suit as possible, and went through various renditions of the Armadillo. The X2 was a VES, the X3 never made it out of the lab, but was said to incorporate some bioapp implants from Huang-Marr, the X4 ended up being the proto-type for the bioVARG class, ‘Badger’.

Finally, came the culmination of the research under the name of Project Ambrosia. Three units were created before the project plug was pulled for reasons of production costs. Each was built with an Agent for the archetype that they were to represent; ADDONESS (Accentuating Discerning Diplomatic Outfit with Noetic Enhancer and Sentiment Sensor) was geared toward diplomatic relations, but was unfortunately lost along with its user in the Divergence. HERCULEESS (Hardened Exceptional Resuscitating Centurion with Unlimited Liquification and Enhanced Elementary Shielding and Sensors) was the battle unit, and went missing in a pirate attack on an Orgotek transport ship bound for Mars in 2315. PERSIPHONEE was the research model and is the only model still known to be in operation.

PERSIPHONEE, (Psi Enhancing Regenerative Significant Intelligence with Protective Habitat, Obfuscation of Noetics and Enhanced Education) or Siph, was upgraded repeatedly by her current owner, Marcel Lessac upon his receiving the unit in 2339. Siph has stated recently, quite bluntly, that she would rather wipe her memory than work with some ape in a lab coat other than the one she has already tamed.

Armadillo X5 PERSIPHONEE Suit Specifications

The unit itself has the appearance of armadillo hide bioweave armor laced with Olaminium when its disguise function is not in use. Using the chameleon applications of the suit, a previously loaded design can be projected on the suit, enabling it to look like any other form-fitting jumpsuit the creator can come up with. The unit is rough in texture and solid to the touch, but is flexible enough to not hinder movement.

The unit binds to the wearer’s skin, providing physical defense and camouflage. It protects against parasites as well as weapons while remaining comfortably porous. Built-in chromophores automatically change color and pattern to blend the wearer’s body contours with the surrounding landscape when activated. The unit sustains itself by absorbing moisture and carbon dioxide from the surroundings as well as excess heat and fluids from the host.

The unit must be removed one hour for every six hours it’s worn, (Max of 120 hours) during this time it curls into ball similar to that of an armadillo and rests. The duration increases by one hour for every two health levels the host has suffered in recent combat, (assuming the unit also took damage and must repair itself). If the unit is not removed, it grows brittle. Every three hours that follow, the unit’s lethal soak drops by one and its bulk goes up one. Once its lethal soak drops to zero, the unit crumbles apart.

The unit adds three dice to the host’s Stealth rolls when remaining still, and one die to Stealth rolls when moving, (this applies to IR and normal vision).

Additionally, the Armadillo boosts a psion’s Electrokinesis Aptitude. It draws on ambient electromagnetic energy and on the unit’s own bioelectric aura to fuel the host’s psionic abilities. The unit adds 5 dots to the host’s Psi for purposes of determining effect ranges and durations for all Electrokinesis effects. The Armadillo also reduces Psi costs by one (to a minimum of one point).

The unit incorporates biocomputer circuitry so that the host can transfer the entire contents of his computer into it. While wearing the unit, the host can Interface at will. The psion can think his commands to the computer simply by focusing (+1 diff to all other actions while doing so). A distraction may break the host’s concentration, but it doesn’t negate the connection.

When the agent is given the appropriate command the unit encloses the host’s head and becomes a VES. The host sees through holo-projection of the surrounding environs on the inside of the ‘helmet’. The unit can support the host within a hostile environment as a VES for 30 hours on a full rest (25% current energy level), longer at reduced function if necessary. However, it should be noted that the emergency support status was never measured in lab, so the extended time limit is unknown.

Unique to this particular unit is the Habitat mode. Upon triggering of the command, or when the host becomes unconscious, the unit will enclose the host in a capsulated shell [8/8,0] and trigger a Noetic Dampener. The Dampener effectively disrupts psi use within a ten meter diameter, absorbing any directed noetic energy into itself. Psions spend as normal for powers that require Psi point expenditure, but the dampener sucks them up. The effect is dispersed before it can be completed. (Techniques that for any reason do not require Psi points function normally.) The unit then ‘bleeds off’ the subquantum energy.

The host, if conscious, can observe the outside conditions through holo-displays emitted internally. If necessary, it is possible to squeeze a second person or material item within the shell, however it will be extremely uncomfortable and the secondary item must be in full contact with the host at command trigger and be roughly equal or smaller in size to the formatted host. This mode is also considered to be a VES and counts towards energy levels. If a second person is within the shell, energy levels are consumed at 2.5 times normal rate due to the draw on the unit.

Within the left arm of the unit are a Doppelganger, a Membrane and a Shroud. Obviously the unit must be formatted to utilize any of the suits abilities.

[4/5,0] Tech: Y Mass: 3 Tolerance: 4 Cost: N/A Failsafe: 8

PERSIPHONEE Agent “Siph”

All default communication with the agent is done mentally. The host may choose to communicate verbally, however there is no holo programming or speaker to enable the Agent to communicate verbally or to appear as an avatar. Siph was originally designed as a research assistant Agent modeled after the Archimedes Agent with some significant upgrades. Marcel Lessac has since upgraded her programming significantly and modeled her interaction after the personalities of his now deceased ex-wives.

The ST was fond of 'homework' this assignment was to create an alien breed that was part of a caste system. same game obviously.

Harvester Caste

The Harvester averages between seven and ten feet tall when standing erect, but due to leg and arm length, can easily reach objects 15 feet in the air. If this is not enough, it can also jump up to four times its own height, the landing cushioned by large footpads and extremely springy leg muscles and cartilage. Its shaggy, coarse, body hair is for coloration only and provides little protection against heavy cold or UV rays. However, the skin of the Harvester is a thick, tough hide, which has prevailed from its parent species that dwelled upon a volcanically active moon. They can emit a highly concentrated pheromone that incapacitates animal life that comes within skin contact, putting the victim into a comatose state.

The Harvester completely lacks vocal cords, and yet, it has a very complex language. The structure is similar to computational binary, but rather than 1s and 0s, it is comprised of whistles and tongue-clicks. Their ears are highly sensitive, being able to tell the difference between "click-click click" and "click click-click" even with multiple conversations going on around it. When angry or annoyed, they will pop their lips. However, the most unusual thing is their laughter: it is a series of short exhalations, much like human laughter without the sound. It also has a simpler signed language, which can be used to express ideas or emotions. For this reason, the palms of the hands are lightened so that they stand out against the darker body. The green eyes also change their tint with mood, darkening when angry and lightening when sad.

Interestingly enough, they have a deep sense of modesty. Mates will jealously guard one another as well as wear the same color of clothing. As many as seven mated pairs with young may live together forming a community, but rarely any more than that.

The Harvester caste has been bred for assault, and while primitive in look, advanced tactics are not beyond its means. A community will attack together, leaping into combat whilst emitting pheromones and communicating among each other to form a seamless attack unit.

This is a typical male specimen of the Harvester caste sans clothing.

Another homework was to describe a shop in the town of Lighthouse (on Titania where game was based). I of course went all out and created a whole shopping center, which the Big O Outlet was part, here is what was finished. Many of the names come from inside jokes or my past characters, (there are many, I worked at a RPG store when I was in college) Obviously I spent more time on some logos than others, and some are random internet grabs.

6. 20 Lounge – [Lighthouse Review] There is something very magical about visiting a neighborhood business when it first opens. The wait staff is not only friendly but also downright lovable, each dish is prepared with care, each drink poured with love, and everyone (guests and staff) is relaxed, happy and full of optimism. I hope that 20 Lounge continues to have all of these qualities because tonight it was truly charming.

Although it's possible that there's a wine bar somewhere that feels like it belongs in the Adirondacks (and I'm not just saying that because of the chairs), I certainly haven't been. Yes, it's refreshing to see a different spin on the wine bar concept and, as the name implies, enjoy a bar that feels more like a house than a slicked-up bar.

There's a country store feel about the place, with its wooden and mismatched tables and inviting fireplace, and wines are unpretentiously pulled from the bookcase lining one wall. A small wine bar--five seats--is a great vantage point for talking shop. I, however, was mesmerized by the slow but careful oyster shucking and the selection of cheeses at the food station. We sampled a white bean crostini that for once felt worth its price (I always find crostini to be overpriced and undertasty, but I keep ordering it!). This one was layered with amazing heirloom tomatoes, a generous topping of white beans with an accompanying "gravy" and then served with a small crock of warm ricotta cheese. We asked for more bread so as not to miss the last of the ricotta. Oh, and it's not just wine, there's a nice beer list too!

7. St. Barnabas Care Center – A state-of-the-art urgent care clinic that provides timely treatment of minor injuries and illnesses every day of the week, is now open in Lighthouse. The new clinic, which is part of the Aesculapian Medical Group, is conveniently located in Uptown Lighthouse. The clinic is open at all hours to accommodate the eclectic work shifts of Titania. No appointment is necessary.

“While there’s never a right time to fall off a bike, cut a finger or run a fever, there is now a new choice for urgent care in Lighthouse when people need to see a rex without an appointment,” said Rip Studwell, MD, regional medical director of the Aesculapian clinics in the Outer Reaches.

“We use the newest biotech and most advanced medical procedures to ensure that our patients receive exceptional care whenever they need it – mornings, afternoons, evenings or weekends,” he added.

The staff at St. Barnabas Care Center provide expert treatment for minor illnesses and injuries, such as bruises, bumps, colds, cuts, flu, migraines, rashes, simple fractures, sinus infections, sprains, stomach pains and strains.

18. Metpawpolis – Metpawpolis was founded in the summer of 2412 when Lindsay and David, a young couple from New York purchased their first small dog; an eight-week-old Boston Terrier female named Sissy. At a whooping 5 pounds, Sissy became a well-spoiled, pampered pooch. Her wardrobe began to grow and because her new mommy had so much fun with it, she decided to leave her corporate job and open up her own business. "I knew I wasn't the only doting mother to a furbaby who liked dressing up their dog." states Lindsay. "It was actually two weeks of having Sissy in our home that I knew the purpose of her coming into our lives. Actually, I have been pondering for years to open up a business but didn't know what type. It just hit me like a ton of bricks when I was out with Sissy one day. I just knew what I finally wanted to do."

After some long hours on Opnet, Metpawpolis debuted soon thereafter. Within two months of opening up one the of the largest digital pet boutiques, Metpawpolis began receiving media requests, this is when Metpawpolis started to become nationally known, as well as Sissy's modeling career.

Within a year of opening on the Opnet, owners Lindsay and David opened the doors to Metpawpolis’ first retail location in August of 2413 in Manhattan. "I had a vision and a dream a year ago." States Lindsay. "I knew how I wanted it to look and where I wanted it to be. It was just waiting for the right time and place to become available."

Metpawpolis has grown into one of the nicest and exquisite pet boutiques in the system. Chrome racks filled with the newest, seasonal styles and more clothing all color coordinated along the walls, make you feel that you are in a human clothing boutique. With the extensive collection of clothes, Metpawpolis also features the largest selection of collars and leads, plush designer toys, luxury pet carriers, beds and furniture, holistic foods and supplements, pet jewelry and even a pet bakery.

. 2419: A separate facility for the project is established on Titania, a headquarters for Out-system missions. Support staff at first is merely a skeleton crew consisting mainly of security forces.

. 2420: The Main Star Relay is completed and give it's own Orbit within Uranus' orbital path - many complain about it's distance from Earth, but it is explained the Psionic disturbance from a gate that - once operational, will have daily traffic, would be too great to place closer to population centers.

. 2421: Interview process for potential crew and support crew begins. Aeon's recruitment ranges from the quietly subtle private interviews, to mass market ads to recruit staff for the headquarters on Titania.

. 2422: First successful use of the Infinity Reflex Drive in a field test.

I found something else from the game, we had a 'contest' to come up with the TV opening of our game, should it have been cast out, music, logo etc. Here is my entry. Sun Runner is the PC's ship.

Music this is done to...[attachmentid=462]...no worries, this is my hacked up musical capability, so no copyright stuff to contend with.

Open with Sol partially blocked by Earth, which is on center screen.

0-7 Seconds: Sun Runner flies up towards camera, at 7th second, blacks out screen.

7-17 Seconds: As Sun Runner leaves screen, we see Earth Prevergence. There are many more ships on screen. A general sense of accomplishment and satiety is conveyed. One warps out on screen.[attachmentid=452]

17-35 Seconds: Divergence – something is wrong…some ships start crashing into each other, one ship teleports into another, many are warping out, the warp fields…just don’t seem right.

We follow the FSS Ignition as it crashes into New York City.[attachmentid=453]

35-48 Seconds: We watch fade-in/fade-out shots of the Sun Runner being built through its various stages of development. A welder on space-walk in one shot, the engine being craned in on another.

48-55 Seconds: The Sun Runner opens up a warp field and finishes entry at 55th second.

Beat: Mason pulling a gun from his vest across his chest. Ben Browder[attachmentid=454]

Beat: Kenth standing up from Captain’s chair fast and shouting forward. James Van Der Beek[attachmentid=455]

Beat: Syn extending arms 3 & 4 out to grab Mason’s guns, wearing her black suit. Amy Adams[attachmentid=456]

Half-Beat & Beat: Show Marcel, then Sam dancing tango-style in 20 Lounge. Jason Winston George & Laura Harris[attachmentid=457]

Beat: Kara at her pilot station with a cut on her forehead bleeding down the side of her face and a half crazy look in her eye violently maneuvering the ship. Piper Perabo[attachmentid=459]

Beat: Midori looking up from performing an autopsy on ‘Pluto Creature’ in full medical garb, no lights are on except exam light. Lexa Doig[attachmentid=458]

Beat: Admiral Thorn sitting at a table, one arm resting on it in front of him, the other lifting a tumbler of scotch as if following a toast. Terry O’ Quinn[attachmentid=460]

Beat-End: Logo displayed[attachmentid=461]

yeah, my logo sucks, I spent too much time on the music and other stuff.

[Alex Green]

Interesting... and that music is pretty good.

Thanks ::biggrin

I did win the contest, but we never had another session, so the xp I got as a prize became a metaphorical paperweight.

[Captether]

Brilliant work. I particularly like the harvester.
