Karren Gaunt Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Well, not in the flesh, but the duo does have the other siblings on speed dial should stuff go down to ruin their day away from the family I imagine.Of ocurse, this assumes Warren is still around after his sundiving stunt.

Courier Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 PM for QF (and good post in 'Submarine').Originally Posted By: EnvoyOf course, this assumes Warren is still around after his sundiving stunt. Ya. Glad he's being entertaining... on a side note this was planned before I knew about apotheosis. When I built the character I knew sooner or later he'd try this. I mean it's the 'why do men climb mountains' thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karren Gaunt Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Heh. I'm just glad one of our characters won't have to develop time travel to yell at Warren for being silly and potentially making Alex have to walk back, ya know. His siblings love him, after all.

Toby Lupin Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Actually, I'm wondering if Warren really should be rewarded for THAT stunt. Seriously, you throw yourself into the sun, you get what you deserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Fire Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 lol.. he didn't critically fail the first roll.. and a sun is a freaking supercharged ball of quantum energy, there is a constant flow quantum off a star... but when he failed the roll.. I'd already decided that being in mortal danger gave you another chance.. Besides, coming back in time to chew himself out from almost killing himself, that's fun, especially when I as as the ST get to do it.. Now, the only question is, did failing into the sun spark his apothesis or did his encounter with himself spark his apothesis... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalmonMax Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 That kind of futzes with continuity though doesn't it? This is happening BEFORE the 'Agreements and Disagreements' thread.I guess we can easily shift it forward in time though. Maybe he does the sundive afterwards.

Seriously, you throw yourself into the sun, you get what you deserve. I don't know... imho a fall into something less solid than water wouldn't be that bad. Or he could have recovered from the overload and started flying again.On a side note the whole mental shutdown because of sensory overload wasn't entirely because of his senses. I've done that while skydiving. Wonderful. Alien. I would have hit the ground before I remembered to pull the cord (the instructor pulled it for me). The really impressive part was out of our class of 15-20 newbies, *no* *one* remembered to pull the cord themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LydaLynn Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Um . . . technically - isn't a sun a natural environment - thus - wouldn't adaptability protect one from sundiving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin OOC Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 yes but it's ST's perogative if you have to pay QP for said protection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LydaLynn Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 true - but even then - to me it'd be worth having to pay some QP to explore a sun - I'm not sure Pip would feel the same way - she doesn't strike me as a character who'd want to try that out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quantum Fire Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I go by a certain general logic to this.. living things can survive even in the void of space for short time.. and there are creatures adapted to the deep parts of the ocean. But the sun itself is not exactly hospitable to biological life. It is theoretically possible life could adapt to live in the corona but within the sun would be like something living inside within a nuclear explosion. So, I assign a drain based on that (there is one environment even worse, but I don't expect any of who to seek out a black hole and jump in to see if you can survive it). Someone with M.Sta of 3 doesn't feel a drain in the corona, but it requires M.Sta of 5 to actually swim inside the surface the sun.. and you'll need a M.S higher then 5+ to descend to the Sun's core Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quantum Fire Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 You tempt me to see it that wouldn't happen, Warren, having apotheosis occur while modeling could be amusing... but there would have to be something to cause tension or stress for it to happen.So, from the sounds of it, you folks are going to sign Anna's contract... and both Maia and Marina are volunteering?

SalmonMax Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Courier, I'm gonna stick a little timeskip into Submarine. My intent for the thread now is to give more detail on what Alex has been doing down there, which is not just the sub, and how it bleeds over into Alex's own apotheosis.The next part of Submarine takes place over several days, and overlaps (chronologically) several other threads. In general, if Alex is communicating via the link but not showing up in person, then it's because she's still in the Submarine thread.I expect it to be finished by the time the DeVries situation is resolved, at which point Alex will put in an appearance.

Courier Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 k... for the record then: Warren can create temporal clones, accelerate time, he's picked up a dot of m-strength to move rocks around, and he can have the gate itself filter what will and will not go through it.Or basically Warren isn't a rate limiting step here any more.On a side note range isn't a useful concept anymore when it comes to measuring those gates distance. If someone wants to explore other galaxies it's possible. RE: DeVries ContractSo who do we send? Warren is willing to do it but he's also conceded the whole 'hide the post-A' point. So basically if no one else will step up then he could do it and it'd be both safe and it wouldn't be a full time job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin OOC Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I vote for Maia and Marina, if only because the two of them have public records and even identities in Maia's case. they're not volunteering to be killers, just really putting in face time with DeVries.

Courier Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I think Anna's loyalty will depend in large part to how much money she's making.EDIT: And agreed about not becoming killers.
