[QUOTE="WizO_Reesa, post: 2564581"] [color=indigo] [font=century gothic][size=2] Wow.. how's that for a bunch of questions to nail your brain early morning? hehehehe.. I think some of this was covered before so let me see if I can answer these again. [i](After checking the archived board, I only see the one question over there, so I'll answer the rest of these... ][/i] [color=red]What exactly is the technological state in TMP's year?[/color] I would imagine with all the advances in technology nowadays that in 2030 they will be more advanced than they are now. We have introduced Aliens into the factor, so it's quite possibly they are well ahead of us in advancement. If there's something you specifically want to know if it's available, drop me a note ([email]reesa@wizardsmoderator.com[/email]) and I'll let you know. [color=red]Do we have flying cars and moon colonies yet?[/color] Flying cars have not yet been invented but there are rumours of prototypes being worked on in Germany and parts of the US. Moon colonies have not yet been established but the Government is currently working on investigating the possibility. [color=red]Computers breaking whatever is after gigahertz?[/color] I would think this is probably quite possible, though I'm not sure what comes after a gigahertz. Since the TMP is taking place 26 years in the future, I would believe that computers are greatly advanced from today's computers. [color=red]Holographic displays?[/color] Holographic displays do exist. People can look at holograms and they use holographic displays on billboard signs. [color=red]What sort of weaponry?[/color] The weaponry would be advanced sources, some examples of weaponry (as taken from the D20 Modern PHB on page 96) would be: Beretta 93R (9mm machine pistol), Desert Eagle (.50 AE autoloader), HK G3 (7.62mm assault rifle), Uzi, Taser, and so forth. If you want a specific weapon for your character, feel free to ask me via email. ;) [color=red]Androids?[/color] Androids are around, though in rare quantities. Not everyone would be found with a personal android. [color=red]Cures for diseases such as cancer and AIDs?[/color] From the Archived boards, written by Dantain: [b] Question: What about Genetic Engineering?[/b] The field of Genetic engineering is further along than it used to be, due in large part to help from the Deltas, who have corrected a few of the stumbling blocks (like how to utilize retrograde viruses to the fullest in altering physcial and chemo characteristics). [b]Question: What dieases are there? Which ones have been cured? Are there new ones?[/b] The above advancements in Genetic engineering has made cancer as a lethal diease rare (some types of lukemia, and late on set prostate cancers still are though). HIV/AIDS and assorted Immune deficiencies diseases have also been on the decline since retrograde viruses can be used to protect the cells from these dieases (though it still has a time point for best results). Ebola, Bubonic Plague, E. Coli, Strep A, and most of modern dieases remain uncured, but most are rare (E Coli and Strep A being the most common, and also not strictly dieases). The aliens have brought several neoviruses (a term used for viruses capable of readapting within hours to a new enviroment). Largest among this is SR-99, or Green Bug. Largely harmless, this bug produces symptoms similar to the cold or the flu, with the added discolortion around the mouth and throat of the vicitim, usually to dull yellows and greens in color. SR-53 is a more dangerous variety that causes the cells lysome covering to untie, causing bleeding laceriations, ulcers, and can in more extreme cases result in death SR-21 is the most dangerous one, causing snyaptic misfires, resulting in lowered brain stem activity and death in the majority of cases. [color=red]Average life-span?[/color] The Average life-span would be about the same as it is today. With the new mutagens and technological advancements, it is possible to extend life further, but you'd not find a 3000 year old man sitting in the night club. [color=red]If I try to get valet parking on my power-armor complete with beam rifle, will I get lynched? Is their a lesser level of said suit that one could get?[/color] I'm sure that if you were to go for valet parking for something like that, people would not lynch you. Also, you would probably be able to get a lesser suit of such a type somewhere. [color=red]Have they found a more efficient energy source yet?[/color] As yet, they have not discovered a more efficient energy source but scientists are working with our new found alien friends to try and find something more. [color=red]Intersteller flight?[/color] Interstellar flight is possible now with the creations of several space based interferometers which are able to look at alien planets and star systems. With the assistance of our new Alien friends, this has made investigating the systems far easier. Manned ships are currently not available, though with the help of our Alien friends, NASA is gaining more and more insight and the possiblity of a star ship is becoming more likely. (Just read up on Interstellar flights and it said "Decades and centuries will pass before the stay-at-homes learn what the explorers have found" so I decided to use that for my basis, though with Aliens helping out Earth, it will make the advancement that much faster. ) [color=red]Cloning?[/color] Cloning is possible, though still being worked on my scientists. It is more advanced in 2030 than it is today in 2003, but they're still working on it. (So you wouldn't find any clone armies running around. ;) ) [color=red]Has Strum Thurman retired YET? [/color] I think this is probably a joke, and being Canadian I had to look up WHO exactly that was. I'm not so sure I like what I read about this guy. So, given that fact.. (and believing I have the right guy heh) yes.. he's retired. (Also, given the fact it's 26 years in the future at the time of TMP, I would tend to think he's retired. :P) I hope I answered your questions well enough Aesy... if not, drop me a note and we can hash things out one-on-one. :) Reesa [/size][/font][/color][font=century gothic][size=2][/size][/font][size=2][/size] [/QUOTE]
