RPGs / Re: Trying to plan my first EP module

The problem I have with these things is that they seem rather mundane.  In EP, anybody with a cornucopia machine and some time to kill can make an army of autonomous potted hydrangeas.  These disguised combat drones can easily each carry a security or kaos ai to mess with systems and wield concealed weapons of various flavors.

So what makes the goldbugs special?

I don't recall if the concept of purchasing uninstantiated egos is ever explored in the books, so I'll have to run on pure logic here.  There should be dedicated corporations who make uninstatiated egos available for indenture.  These corporations would need to instantiate and interview egos they possess in order to find their value.  After this, the corporations would be able to categorize the egos and offer them for indenture.  The corporation would then charge a fee to the buyer.

These corporations may be willing to sell blocks of low-value uninstantiated egos.  They would certainly need to buy egos to maintain their business, probably by purchasing unsorted egos from someone without the resources to interview and categorize them.

I'm not sure what the dead storage equivalent of a collection agency would be, though.  Perhaps a indenturecorp that specializes in infomorph indenture.  A simulspace-accelerated infomorph can get a lot done without having to sleeve them in anything.  Low risk:reward ratio.

If I were Siri, with all the abilities a TITAN possesses, I'd probably attempt to acquire the egos of egocasted fall evacuees.  Siri could do this by hacking into dead ego storage, backup services, or simply buying the dead storage.  Once in possession of the egos, Siri can do whatever it likes.  Siri will likely be capable of reading memories directly from a stored ego, without running it.

A paranoid TITAN shouldn't make mistakes that could reveal it to anyone except for other seed ais.  Therefore, the petals should work perfectly every time.  There is a way to still have defective petals, though.  If transhumans start tinkering with it, they could introduce all sorts of problems.

I've been on the server quite a few times over the past week or so, but nobody has been around to allow me.  I've talked to Xibraxis some, and he referred me to here.

Any chance the new guy could get rights to open doors?
