SkyLion Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Sigh...Im not sure if all of you have seen but I am back after some world shaking shit. Broke up with my girl, been dealing with that, and now sprained my knee...not sure how bad yet. Will do my best to get caught up here while I convalesce.

SkyLion Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I caught up in my latest post. I just had to quote and paste to get all of my reactions in. I hope that's okay and it's not too little too late. If not, I would welcome anyone to insert their reactions to what Cody said even if it is "retconning" the scene a little bit. Again, sorry for being so "late to the party." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Fox Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 Don't worry, I haven't forgotten the rest of you, but I want to get a response from Meri about whether she want's to be scanned before I bring time back into sync for everyone.Also, Does anyone else have anything they want done between the end of the party and the point at which Lorean's batteries are recharged?

Mr Fox Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 I will assume Joani and Kyria get it together in the few hours it takes for Lorean to recharge her batteries and is jump capable again. Not that you guys are leaving the minute she can jump or anything. I'm just figuring you guys will gather on the bridge to discuss your plans once you are able jump if you choose.

Mr Fox Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Lorean, Morgan and Meri know. It wasn't done in secret, but it was private in the since that no one else was there. Meri can choose to share that info or perhaps Lorean/Morgan will bring it up when everyone gathers to discuss plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fox Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Anyone have anything else that needs to be done before we move on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fox Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 The meeting has begun. Lorean has the tech that you guys came here for. It might take her a few days to incorporate the new technology, but now that she knows how she just needs to make them for the first time. The question is what next?

SalmonMax Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 What indeed?Meri has some ambivalence. On the one hand, there's only one lead to get the answers she wants. On the other, she's not completely sure she wants them. Hee.So basically she'd be fine with going, but if there's other stuff y'all wanna do, she'd be okay with dragging her heels a bit too.

Mr Fox Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 Btw, I'm not trying to rush you out of this timeline. If there is more you want to do here before you leave that's fine just let me know what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulric Reikspar Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I'm uncertain what Ulric should be for. I imagine he wants to get this Watcher confrontation out of the way, as his family is in crisis. Job comes first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courier Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 *After* a big medical exam, Steve will go out and try to meet the world and survey our works... basically try to get a feel for what this world has & lacks... it's successes and failures.

Courier Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Of course what Steve isn't mentioning is that spending 20 years to get back to where we are, i.e. no cure, might not be a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fox Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 Nah, Morgan isn't saying it for being polite, but 10 years and he could have a cure. He's been closely following Andrew's research after all. Btw, I hope you guys like the way I set up the skill to cure taint in terms of mechanics. Of course you won't know what those mechanics are for quite a while yet until Andrew has fully developed his research.Oh, and Jameson... if Andrew's knowledge gets to the point of fully developing the cure to it's maximum potential, I wonder what else he could do with that knowledge? hmm...

jameson (ST) Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 In OOC game terms Andrew has bought off 2 dots of taint and added 2 dots of M-Int (now M-Int 5), 1 dot of M-wits (with multitasking), and a 2nd dot of Clone. He's sharper than ever and aside from his homunculi he is free of mental taint/aberrations now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Fox Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 BTW, I sent out xp for the current chapter. If I don't hear from anyone stating otherwise I will post the next chapter tomorrow. Hopefully someone will post in the current chapter telling Lorean to go ahead and make the jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joani Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Joani is not on the bridge, she is in her room, just for you all to know. She hasn't answered to any requests to come to the bridge - Lorean probably knows what she is doing and it seems obvious that she doesn't want to meet the others.

Mr Fox Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 Just replied to you. It's up to you whether you attend the gathering or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courier Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I'm assuming that Andrew simply forgot (due to his mental issues) about Steve's problem before (a cure was never actually presented). After the second or third time this happened Steve pertinently dropped the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Murphy Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 likely it would have been back burnered but Andrew's memory is perfect (even when his attention was spotty at best). With Nova Medicine maxed out he can certainly take care of that ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fox Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 I hope you guys are enjoying the revelation of who the watchers are. This concept had the potential of being a huge pile of cheese if handled badly. I've tried to handle it well, think everything through fully, and reveal it all in the best way I could. Now that you are learning what has been beind it all and why, I trust you find it interesting and enjoyable. I know I've had a terrific time with this story all along knowing what was to come. In a way the watchers are truly the ultimate Mary Sue's. That's actually what gave me the idea for this story in the first place. I plotted out what the ultimate end would be for someone with these kind of powers. What would I personally do if I had them? Not saying that I would mate with a clone of myself to produce offspring of course, but when figuring out what the original watcher would do if put in that situation, it was a logical possible outcome and it made for a good story so it became part of the Watcher mythos. Steve hit on their ultimate motivation in his post. What would you do with infinite time, and power? Boredom becomes the ultimate enemy, how do you resolve that and keep from ending your own existence? This story has been a result of that question and my attempt to answer it.Now that you know, I hope that you approve and find the journey worth the taking? *** This is not a rhetorical question, feedback would be welcome. *** Finally, not that it is over yet, but this chapter ends the original story arc. That being the case, there are many places you can go from here. Where will depend on your decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalmonMax Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 It's a good development, I think. I'll admit, I didn't think he meant having kids with his clones. I assumed he meant having kids with other, non-him, humans.But I guess there's no real reason, aside from the squick factor, he couldn't make a little inbred clone population. On a strictly IC basis, this is pretty devastating stuff for Meri though. I will have to think about how this affects her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fox Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 He meant both actually, non-clones, but also the other has happened in their history as well and I thought that would be a detail that would amuse you all in an OOC fashion even if it doesn't become obvious IC. No issue of in-breeding though, they are very advanced in terms of genetics and their shapechanging is mastered to the point that it goes all the way down to the dna level. So yeah, there is the squick factor as you put it, but that is intentional and meant to point out that these guys have a very different perspective after four million years of their odd unique existence.And yeah, it has all got to be seriously frakking with Meri's brain.
