I tried out the game SCARLET NEXUS, and in it was a thing similar to the Fabric. The characters were linked through some virtual stuff that they could use to communicate, hearing each other's thought or something. And you got all sort of text messages from them. I wonder how much the...

Ah, damn it! I forgot about 3D printing, again! I almost never remind myself to consider how it can factor into the making of these things.

That reminds me... A few years ago, I read about how NASA or some independent company, was trying to develop a new type of space-suit. Instead of the usual unwieldy, puffed up, bloated, crappy-looking current ones, what they tried to do was run thin tubes around a tight suit, in a certain...

I started playing a game called The Ascent. While the gameplay is nothing really new or spectacular, the developers REALLY went mental with the HUB of the game. It's very cyberpunk, meaning both the game and the genre (well, duh). Not much to do, other than run around, open crates and talk to...

I was thinking about two OP-AIs, with their holos out, having a conversation with each other. And not just with their owners. It wouldn't/shouldn't look weird, it would be nothing new to the Reapers. I can't help but think about the conversations between EDI and Legion, in Mass Effect 3 and...

Depends on funding and whether or not we can forcibly squeeze the developers into them. :D

Sadly, not sure. I'm out of ANY ideas for the moment. Even vague ones. For Cullman and Co., anyway. Well...I had one small scene in mind where he's walking Home, with his MEK's holo-image, the wolf, walking beside him and they're chatting up other Reapers who also have their MEK OP-AIs out in...

Made a slight edit to Carmen's line explaining what happened to the Cat-3's body, to make it clear it already dissolved, leaving only the altered ore behind, for the lab to study. Thanks @Pandagnome !

That would make sense to have different version, BUT...we should be able to use any, no matter what gender we play. If someone likes to think of their female OC as a tomboy, or wants to make them look androgenious, with more masculine traits, then, they should be able to use the emote-versions...

GREAT IDEA! The very thing that's keeping the Tsi-Hu in the prison they're trying to escape from could both aid US and destroy us, by dynamically altering the terrain depending on whether a region or zone is stabilitized or not, which could impact the weather, as well, of course. Not saying...

Author's note: A weakness of mine, when it comes to writing, is the ability to accurately imagine/predict just how advanced technology would be in a fictional setting. As I've already said, in my review of the novel, the whole Fabric thing blew my mind. I did not expect anything like that...

Depends on how big of a HUB the Home Station will eventually grow to be, with more and more funding, I suppose. It could be an R&R location, where we could socialize even better, perhaps integrate some poker-like card-games (that could be Crixa-universe themed, or just plain old Poker) that we...

Or we're clones.

Story #2 Downtime Apart from shifts, there was really no order to when someone was off-duty. You could spend your free-time still running ops planetside, if your frame was in working order. Some escaped into that, some to a bar, others shut their eyes and the world out, until they went back on...

Check it out, yo! Holographic plants for decor. In the Gatestriders novel they have sand being kept on the tables with some containment field. This is another cool aesthetic.

@Pandagnome I'm already writing the sequel for this. And I already have a vague idea for a 3rd installment. The sequel is titled "Downtime" and will be about the same trio and a little Carmen, plus a short appearance by another already known character, with a tiny glimpse into their lives...

It occurred to me (a few hours ago, at work) that our THMPR could use the projection of its holographic self to distract enemies. We could command our MEK, like a squadmate, to use an ability, which would make them project either their customized holographic self or something else out onto the...

Definitely the Soundwave-like detachment of a smaller unit that would act autonomously, until it returned to the THMPR. THAT would be best. I like that! It could perhaps attach itself to the back, where a hard-driver-type of casing would fold over it, also projecting some shields, protecting it...

Good to know.

Yeah, I don't think Carmen's personality was mentioned, yet. So, I kind of took some creative liberties with that, imagining her to be someone who's absorbed in her work, has no time or care for forming in any stronger relationship beyond professional ones, nor does she have patience for...
