Yah, see that sort of thing is continuing on your current theme. I'm thinking I'll actually break the character and give him a new theme. He'll hate it of course.

Yeah I breifly considered that as a path to giving him EA or EM Eufiber but frankly that doesn't much intrest me in the context of this game.

It is up to you. Given the circumstances you have the chance to go outside your theme if you want, but you don't have to. You could easily gain another ability that fits with your current theme, or even improve one you already have.

I'll make a post tonight about your shopping trip and the bar-b-que.

We should have a new player joining us after the hammersmith event hopefully. You will get to discover a nova that has erupted as a result of the event.

I'm sorry I have not been able to post lately. I had a 3 day weekend with my unit, followed by three straight days of work.

I'll be available to post on Thursday.

I'm going to be out all next week taking a class. If I can get access to a computer in the evenings I'll try and keep posting. Otherwise I will be out until next Monday, 4/30.

OK, at the moment Steve and everyone else is under the assumption that what Hammersmith is going to produce is a single nova eruption, not a worldwide event.

I think the way to deal with this is to have the crew and novas be inside Lorean scanning the H-event as it happens, say, directly above the place from orbit.

Any other suggestions?

Just about everyone died and Max and Mal were the closest to the effect who lived. The chances of turning them from what they became into ordinary A! types is just too large, ignoring that we might get killed and we'd have to use our powers to survive.

But having said that Steve was briefly tempted to set up a telescope and watch the event from a block away. Maybe slip Max a note before he leaves or save people who would have died. The problem with that sort of thing is it's pure ego. It tips our hand that we're time travelers for no good reason, and it also introduces VERY strongly the observer effect. I.e. watching the events runs the risk of changing them.

On a different note, Ian Watson reports that the timeline is complete. http://whitewolf.wikia.com/wiki/Timeline_%28TU%29
It looks like a good resource.

Looking over the timeline, it appears Thetis was born in 1940. That means she probably joined Eon in the mid to late 60s. Of course it's also possible she met Max as a teenager.

If no one steps up an says they can ping, or if its just Lorean, Steve will suggest we wait for the meeting to start and then set up somewhere where we can get a good view. He'll also ask Lorean to scan the place as it's in motion, and even put a probe next to a window or two if it's possible to do that without exposure.

Lorean can definitely do it. I figure anyone with a node can per the rules, it just takes some time and practice. If nothing else, Lorean will teach you all to do it in the down time during your week of vacation.

This confuses me.

Steve (like all novas) has a node. But the thing is Steve has a node background of zero. I've never seen any of us use Node, so we might all have a node of zero.

So could Steve learn to do this or not?

none for Andrew, not sure how I am going to choose to handle this either. While he certainly had the MR node cells it's difficult to tell if he need the MR Node structure in order to produce a ping.

In theory Andrew could (if he had a node rating) learn how. Also in theory Andrew would get taint if he had a node rating of 3+.

Not that any of this makes sense. The easiest way to deal with it is simply don't buy a node of 3+.

Actually I could probably take the Taint Resistant enhancement from Mega Int as of right now I've no plans to invest in node that high though so it is a moot point.

Yes, it's definately in theme. Actually you're a good example of someone who might have good reason to take that enhancement as a Mega-Stamina enhancement.

But that makes three of us with no node background. If Skylion speaks up that will be a clean sweep.

It seems that it is finals week for many students. Others might have some RL issues that are limiting posting. I am still willing to go on with the numbers we have. We could also have the ST take over the role of one or more of the PC's.

Bah, sorry guys, unexpected life issues this last weekend into this week. I'm back now and should be posting regularly again. Many apologies for the absence.

So as far as I know we have as active PCs:
Steve
Andrew
Omar
(Cody) May still be around, but hasn't posted much lately.

We also have a new player coming in as soon as the Hammersmith event occurs. I'll try and get that posted tonight or tomorrow night.

DOn't worry about it, I was just curious as my own game has slowed dramtically and I know we share a number of players.

I had also completely forgotten about the college factor being an "old man"

College seems like an old memory. I have not been there for 10 years.

I think Cody is on military deployment somewhere, so I understand his difficulties in posting.

Yeah, I'm long out of college as well, but things have just been very busy for me lately. Now that they have normalized a bit, things should be back to normal.

As for Cody, he is welcome back at anytime. <Salutes our troops!>

You each have 6 nova points to spend, plus whatever exp you had banked if any. You may feel free to spontaneously manifest new abilities within the scene if you wish. PM me for approval if you decide to buy anything that might be controversial.

Phillip Robertson is our new player so feel free to interact with him, the woman assisting him is also inspired and will be his follower.

I'll give you guys today to react and make initial posts before I throw anything more at you.

No node for Cody

Also on a personal note Id like to just say that the times I am not around are when my real life activities have accelerated to a pace that precludes posting and often even checking. I just have to go with the flow. For example...I worked this weekend but as it was Cinco de Mayo I had friends throwing parties all weekend, meaning after work I go out and sleep in until work the next day. Sunday was a street fair that turned into an after party and then an after after party which then turned into "Hey Sky! Want to get kidnapped by your bro and three beautiful women and taken to Santa Cruz for a few days?!"

Good to remember that as much as I love my fantasy life, the real one is the real adventure. I have no problems with being NPCed when I am away, since I dont intend to drop out permanently. I will try and give notice if I can (this time it all just swept me a way!)

I'll have to post again tonight with Andrew's developing powers, I don't have access to the books right now and I need to look at the body modification suites.

Fox, can we spend the NPs on anything or only on Q related powers/abilities?

Welcome back SkyLion!

And Steve did in fact pick up Biolum both as a theme and as a power. I'll post more on this IC later.

On that subject, I've seen pictures of plasma that range from light blue to pink. Unless someone objects I'm going to assume (and probably state) that the plasma was on the light blue end of that.

You can spend it on anything.
For non-q related stuff, however, we may need to discuss how to bring it into the game depending on what it is.

As a side note I found that I HAD bought Andrew a single dot of Node, but given his background it's reasonable to assume that he would not be aware of what a node was or that he even had one, especially given his physiology.

Oddly I also bought a dot attunment which I have yet to use, under the same reasoning.

My thoughts on time travel, you guys where in a tree universe (even if it didn't look like it to the residents). Now we are stuck. We should be in the same tree, even if we can't jump branch. This should wipe out the posibility of a paradox... unless fox wants one whistle
