"Huns, not Romans. Gotcha." Alan lets that stew for a moment. "Why is that? They've got their eyes and hands on all the stirring pots, making sure they all boil over then?"

No Jedi love, huh? Mothers with a sense of humor then? Alan laughs, shaking his head and running his hand through his hair. "That's funny. Story of my life so far: complicated." Alan snorts. "Should I be asking you where your kit is in case I need to sew his legs back on?" Alan jerks a thumb...

"Ah, of course. Red Leader, Rogue Squadron..." Alan summarizes with amusement. "Where are we going?"

"Really? Fascinating... Is there any literature on that I might read?" "He's Biggs. Your name is?" Alan asks politely.

Exactly. While the Extended Range category might be shorter right now, it's got potential to actually deliver "duplicates in separate starships" or "orbit to orbital horizon" eventually. You're not going to get that with PL x 5 miles even in the most Buck Roger'd space setting.

"And what's VSC's interest then? Did they loan her money too?" "Are you going to shoot me if I get up to look after her?" Alan cocks his chin toward the forward cabin.

I think it's probably reasonable that it work to a PL distance, since that's how everything else works in M&M. At Extended that would still give him a 5 mile radius to work with, and given that we're apparently in some sort of campaign where space travel will be possible that means at higher...

Alan snorts. "You're not making sense, or listening to the woman while you're not answering her question." Alan rolls his eyes. "I am Doctor Alan Tighe. She confirmed this with a retinal scan. This is something that could not happen if I were a clone, because the pattern in someone's retinas...

"You're certain he's some form of clone, then?" Alan asks curiously. That lovely shade of green has something to do with photosynthesis? Intentional, or a lucky circumstance of biology? Unbidden his hand lifts and twitches, resisting the urge to touch her skin. The doctor rubs his hand...

"I suppose that depends on what's real and what isn't, and what's human and what isn't? Doesn't it?" "Aren't we all just engine drivers of consciousness guiding the framework of our biology? Georgy has more than one choo-choo, a fact that I'm sure he's very proud of but would seem to me to be...

He laughs, winking patronizingly t the other man with amusement. "Don't worry, eventually the grown ups will finish talking and you can go back to acting out and being sullen." Alan leans to address Ashana a bit. "There's some indications of age regression going on along with the other...

"Not very much I think, I spent most of my time in the simulation interacting with Vanessa. I'm having some dissociative fugue as well, though I haven't identified whether or not that was caused intentionally or if the affliction is the result of trauma. The others are also suffering from it to...

Alan continues to be unperturbed at the proceedings. "Ashana's a pretty name," he says with a friendly smile as he's strapped in. Closing his eyes for the moment, Alan takes the opportunity of takeoff to mentally review the day's happenings and test them against what scattered pieces are left...

Janis and her companion move forward to within striking distance for her stormbolts and let loose.

"You've got strange ideas yourself about loyalties if you're chatting this young woman here up like you're old friends, while one avatar or another is no doubt relaying every word that's being said to people that you only know because you fell out of the same vat a few minutes ago," Alan says...

Alan follows, strangely unruffled and apparently somewhat bored. "I'm glad that's all settled. I didn't want anyone to get hurt," Alan says with a neutral expression. After all, it wouldn't have done anyone any good if you'd started firing those guns and suddenly found the barrels jammed with...

This. ;) Mira's plan = following Mira

"I was in here when I came out of the simulation. The others left, through the elevators." Alan frowns. "They left with someone who called herself 'Mira.' She was the one who claimed to be running the 'rehabilitation' simulation. Rehabilitating, not deceased," he corrects, a bit...

"I'm Doctor Tighe. I'm unarmed and I am cooperating." Alan opens his hands to show that he has no weapons of any sort in either of them.

What? Alan's a law-abiding citizen. You folks might trust each other and some of the NPCs like they're your long-lost parents, but if I've figured it out correctly you're all still running off with criminals or worse. If I haven't? Well, that's the risk. Alan's a "I'll take the arrest and...
