Aberrant: The Long March - Going Public: Project Steve. Project Lorean.

From: Steve

Situation: Two members of the group are expected to have increasing problems staying in the shadows as time and technology increase. My believed age will be 100 in 2002. Lorean will face increasing difficulty staying hidden as technology increases.

Suggested Counter Measures: I suggest Lorean and I go public.

RE: Project Steve

I transfer all assets to Amber, die, then she re-marries a "younger man". If all assets are held jointly, tax and control difficulties could be kept to a minimum. This would deal with the 'public age' issue for the next century.

RE: Project Lorean

I suggest a massive, private, ship with Warp capabilities be publicly constructed. At the end of the construction, "Lorean" would be able to function without needing to worry about cloaking and detection because she'd be a known ship.

Given your level of fame your wife is famous by association now. Anybody she would re-marry would be scrutinized by the public, unless you figured out how to change your appearance somebody will make the connection.

Unless you have a reason to stay "baseline", why not just erupt instead?
