I remember Momma. And I have a plot mapped out for VERA. Let me explain something I just explained to Kel via PM. I'm not Mac Walters. I have a totally different view about the synthetics-organics thing he was doing.

 

EDI: I agree with Kel that she was a total Mary Sue, but we overlooked it because.... Reapers. Mac's entire thing was about EDI's weakness being "I am not alive." EDI never experiences any problem when her platform is hit. Nor did Dr. Core notice anything when that shuttle crashed and her skin burned off. Also EDI felt nothing when the Normandy got damaged during the fight against the Collector ship, even though her sensors would have picked up problems. So EDI was not alive. EDI had self-awareness and had experienced growth, but was not alive, even at the end of ME3. The Normandy was a super ship with a super almost alive AI. There was never any reason to fear EDI.

 

* We downloaded that Archive on Eingana and who knows what was in it. We don't know. All we do know is this....

 

VERA is not EDI. With VERA we crossed the line. Being alive is her kryptonite. The second she had real emotional response she became alive. At this point she also becomes a bit scary. We can't simply take her for granted anymore. She'll want to be treated with respect. I would think an injury to the platform, the synthetic would feel the equivalent of pain. If the platform were destroyed it would be like losing a point of awareness.

 

* acting hurt with Molly

* chastising Naleena for casually suggesting the enemy dare attack

 

VERA could go through a "I didn't ask for this" period regarding her feelings and being alive. What if after her experience on the ground she decides she did not like it? She's not a simple machine anymore. What if she will only fight if attacked? It's not like we have Reapers flying through the galaxy destroying everything at the moment.

 

So with VERA and the Janiri, I'm thinking more of a synthetic version of Moira from Farscape. Except whereas Moira was totally emotion based, VERA will be far more balanced due to her nature, yet there will be issues.

I see we're blaming me now!

j/k I might have been ranting a bit...

[Redbelle]

I'm a real boy! There are no strings on me!

 

 

By the way. Since the Medusa was last to leave the Citadel I'm tempted to say that Jess took Franks shuttle with the intention of fixing it up so it's practically new..... With an entry system as above.

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

ACK! I will deconstruct the Pinocchio plot for that remark. Legion wanted to be a real boy, EDI wanted to be a real girl. And RB, That video is unavailable in the United States.

 

[Redbelle]

Google Thunderbirds 2015 for the new launches. Because while the Jeniri may be fast and agile, the Medusa is a toolbox.... And darn it, I want batman poles on the bridge!

EDI's 'combat platform' was stupid. At least Eva Core used it as an infiltration unit, rather than going into battle with it.

[Cknarf]

I think the EDI/Joker thing would have been great if she would have never gotten a body. Just a man and his warship. Aww.

[TheMajonese]

@Cknarf: totally agree

Anyone here watched avengers? I've only seen clips with ultron, gonna see it today. But an AI with a sense of humor I imagine being terrifying in the ME universe. Like Handsome Jack and Shodan had a fucked up baby, and Glados raised it.

[Cainhurst Crow]

Finished watching age of ultron. The way you describe EDI SJ made me think of ultron for reasons that will probably be too spoilery to talk about. But yeah, luckily for the Normandy crew, EDI never developed a Messiah Complex or by god would she have been a mass effect equivilant of ultron.

 

As for VERA, I look forward to seeing how this goes, and being wary of everything she does on the one hand, and trusting and supportive on the other.

[Redbelle]

Adam Koebal's Swansong he GM's goes into much the same territory when it comes to AI's. That and other the other AI called the Warmind that razed a planet.

[Redbelle]

Bit of a condensed post but I get the feeling we'll be moving onwards soon and need eggs in basket.

[Kel Riever]

Adventure awaits

For the crew going to Earth, I'm going to be responsible for that since basically Morgan's story is all my fault   But please, it doesn't have to be a one person show, and feel free to jump in, write stuff in, whadevur.  The shuttle still hasn't been officially sorted out yet, but I have to assume it is going to be a Scythe unless someone wants to jump on this in half a second and make it Frank's Kodiak totally stolen from lockup on the Citadel and refurbished on the Medusa.

Honestly, that sounds like a lot more fun.

Okay, anyway, when I get to posting it'll be prep to go.  It kind of has to be coordinated with Julia (I'm looking at you) but yes, we'll be kicking this thing into go speed and I presume Julia's going to drop her part soon anyway.

Dear morning, stahp dropping work in my lap on entry.  It's like walking into an ambush every morning from Kato (you might have to be old to get this)

P.S.  Apparently RedBelle has Iyana in mind, as the group 'left Iyana's quarters' which I'm guessing is incorrect.  Please, don't blame RedBelle.  That too is my fault for bombarding RB with Iyana stuff by PM.  I can be pretty shameless in my volume of rpg writing.

[Redbelle]

Yeeeeees, we all thought she was gone but she's been in our minds the whole time! Playing with our perceptions that we're all heroic space farer's! In reality we're all in a mental hospital living out our fantasies and Iyana's the nurse whose attempts to care for us has generated much animosity that we've all agreed to wrap her in sheet and throw her out a window

[Cknarf]

If the Kodiak makes a surprise return, I'm gonna need one hell of a heads up. Things could get emotional.

 

Not just for the character, but for the author as well.

 

I'm that guy that cried during Cast Away. You know the part.

 

Spoiler

Inanimate objeeeeeeect! 

[Redbelle]

Jess added a companion cube in the pilots seat...... Enjoy.

 

And the incinerator's are offline

[Kel Riever]

First, that's it, Kodiak rescued by the Medusa.

 

Now lore.

Second, I am coming off a tailspin loss of writing on Stormhammer, so I'll get back into things, but that really hurt.

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

Sorry guys, it was 70 yesterday afternoon and I played golf. Then I got a migraine on the back 9. My meds didn't work, and I went to bed when I got home. Played well for half the round until the migraine hit. My plan was to finish the round get dinner, then write. However, nothing worked out and by the time the second round of meds took effect I didn't have any creative drive.

[Cknarf]

First, that's it, Kodiak rescued by the Medusa.

 

Is this goin' down, or are you guys just f***in' with me?

 

Hey, wait a minute... there were some Kodiaks mentioned while retaking the Medusa...

 

Oh sh*t.

 

BRB. Throwing together a post about Frank having an excitement-induced seizure, then a heart attack.  Get your memorial posts ready, guys.

[Cknarf]

[Kel Riever]

It is. 

When are we going to hit these missions in stride, by the way?  Are we ready yet?  Goodbye's said?  Let's get to them because it is time to do this thang.

And seriously, Stormhammer, I have so much grrr in my heart for what happened this morning.  so much

I have to write for that later.  I'm sorry to the people who are in on it but that thing will be done tonight so we can start resolving the prototype thing and getting to the next part

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

The misadventures of Frank..... After seeing Cknarf's post in OOC Stormhammer Discussion, I understand where he gets some of his material.

 

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

Okay, it is now up to Jensaarai to lay down the situation. We are in the Paz system approaching Garvug. What do we run into?

Right off the bat probably 1 carrier and 3 cruisers. I'll work on creating the proper picture or the scenario.
