Plus it would have weakened the "you abandoned us, Picard" vibe they had going on. Reinforced by the initial White Man Welcome we got at the beginning and how stagnant they were without his help. That particular vibe wouldn't have been so strong if he literally didn't arrive dressed like a...

Wasn't this why some of the characters on BladeRunner had that funky makeup, to foil facial recognition.

that's awesome! Mine is going way slower. Day job + week night job slows me down.

Wow, you've been busy. Looks cool. Good contrast. From here it doesn't look awkwardly photoshopped, though I assume this is from some prototyping tool. How's the writing going?

Side question: Since a GRB is basically an explosion of gamma rays, can Trek shielding block that? We've seen Trek ships snuggle close to stars, I assume any given star is kicking out a ton of all flavors of radiation, gamma included. So a GRB maybe trivial to a ship with working shields...

Like DG said, looks good. I'm not up on WOIN, I've not kept up with games, but it looks like your RPG came out and looks good

That makes it easier to keep communities together. Sure, a few mixups are going to happen, but the squadron shows up, and we slurp up everybody in Alaska and take them to Planet X, return, and get Washington state, and lather, rinse repeat. It's not like escaping Europe during WW2 in dribs and...

Would it really be that hard to keep families together and large clusters of ethnic groups at this scale? We're probably hauling out a hundred to a thousand people at a time, to specified planets. Assuming you load up by family or regional lot, you'll end up at the same place. It might be a...

It's probably like Y2K. If we don't take this problem seriously and ramp up efforts to resolve it, horrible things will happen... Or, if we build and prep ships now, we can stage an orderly evacuation and it won't seem like a big deal. Also, is it just me, or in every space show, when they...

Going to Mars in order to survive a disaster on Earth is debunked to me. It's easier to build something on earth to weather that out than it is to build on Mars, stay alive there without resupply and come back to Earth later. But all the tech we get from trying to do Mars is what we'd need for...

Sounds like fun. Looks like the geese were happy.

Finished Ep2 last night. Everybody enjoyed it. What do we know? Secret Secret Romulans Hate AI They probably subverted the Synths to blow up Mars Starfleet doesn't like Picard He still doesn't have a starship or a destination Romulans have invited scientists to help dismantle their nuclear...

No. Diseases, Deaths and Divorces on Page 1. Popping the "and he's got cancer" late in the game is considered crap writing. I've been studying this stuff.

Finished A Plague of Giants by Kevin Hearne The first 8 pages were weak, but then it picked up and got good. Started Sisters of the Wild Sage by Nicole Givens Kurtz It's a a weird west short story collection, just started the first one. I like it.

I would wager that it's not quite like that. But yes, they probably ended as friends, before his death. I'm sure he left on good terms with Data and over the years they talked. Maybe even Data bequeathed his remains. Maddox struggled for years to recreate Data, and failed. Then Data dies...

Agreed. Which is why I listed the "facts" as we know them. There's enough to chew on to make guesses about the future (like whether Maddox is the Mars bad guy).

Thanks for the additional info. I still don't buy Maddox as the Mars mastermind. He was more of controlling boyfriend lusting over Data, and I hope in the 24th century, he got counseling and learned healthier relationship skills. in the end, he really wanted to create cybernetic life. That...

4. Hudson, Hicks, Vasquez and Apone.

I'd be against that bet. I expect Maddox to be obsessed with perfecting synthetic life and that's pretty much it. He vanished because of the Mars incident and the ban against his work. He's a victim of politics, not the cause. Whoever used the synthetics, did so as a means to an end...

I imagine they all saw the Doctor's holoplay. Humanity's got a lot to learn about Artificial Rights.
