MUSE NEWS

 
PRESTON

LLA/Comm-Sec: I know what you’re up to, Crowley. Just because I’m not jacked to the gills with nanotech or an animal doesn’t mean I’m stupid. I’ve got security camera feeds of vans matching the description of those used by technoprogressive terrorist in the Erato attack driving in and out of a mansion rented on your Experia mesh ID. I’ve got visitor records of your “tour” at Stiverson days before the attack. I’ve got forensic matches on brainscan ID pointing to your little AGI on no less than two corrupted systems, and that’s all I’ve found so far.

Your masters are protecting until you find more proof, but I find that little baby TITAN you call an assistant, he’ll give me everything I need. Turn yourself in before I lose the last scraps of my gratitude.

Experia: Urgent meeting requested. Show notes and contract negotiations are overdue. A beta-representative will be cast to the embassy closest your location at your request.

Abstinance-Only: We pirated your shitty show and saw you like gambling. Let’s see you play with the pros. LOSERS CLEAN THE ORGY-POD!

WuShang: If you are where I think you are, I’m calling in my favor, brother. Find a secure communicator and call me.

Jane Erdos: I don’t know what your angle is, but you don’t work for the people you think you work for. We can meet if you need help. Public places only.

Lady Egran: There are full-contact combat sports available on Supercalifragilisticexpalidocious, just in case you feel like your other job isn’t stupidily risking your life enough.

Lady Egran: Militia seems to provide pretty good rep for full-time volunteers. Experience is required and there is some sort of vetting process. See Kalbia Singh on The Stars Our Destination.

Nature’s Rejects: Looking for painter’s to decorate Montezuma’s Revenge. Your muse said you’ve got some skill. You do zero-G, right?

Ack, poor SAIROC! So many awesome plot hooks, though. Reminds me I need to catch up on Know Evil.

So i guess Ord is a tad bit annoyed with the party. Anyone have an idea of what to do when buying blueprints for stuff that cost expensive?

"Expensive+", followed by "Expensive++". Basically add an extra 10,000 credits each step up after Expensive.

Check this shit out! If you could do psychosurgery at range this is would be total Eclipse Phase.

That's probably what the world of Eclipse Phase was like 50 years before the Fall - until they disabled remote brain hacking.

Well, cyberbrains you can still hack like that if you can break their firewalls.

cut from Gatecrashing: http://mobunited.wordpress.com/2012/09/19/cut-from-gatecrashing/

I can see why it was cut.
It's a good rideup, but it's far, far from what I envision as Eclipse Phase.  I think it would go gunso really fast.

So, after hearing frequent mentions of the movie The Room on the podcast, I finally saw some clips of it.
.....
Holy shit.
Honestly, I think my mind is still trying to process what I saw. I'm thinking about seeing it in it's entirety, but it occurred to me: my god, it could very well be a basilisk hack. If I see the whole thing, it'll rewire my brain.
It might turn me into...I have no fucking idea.
