don't worry I'm still under heavy fire myself....

In reply to Nightmare (msg # 969):

Yeah, I'm in the midst of end of Fiscal Year hell myself

In reply to Basilisk (msg # 970):

Yeah providing the GFE list for end of year is... fun... a delight for the whole family.

In reply to Nightmare (msg # 971):

Sucks to be you.

Let's see what I got on my heavy schedule today... hmmmm, parade in my honor?  Big Damned Hero Commemorative BJ?

HA!

The limited-edition BDHCBJ is the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a civilian.

In reply to The Watcher (msg # 973):

Highest... biggest... longest...

"Starblazers," Billy corrects inconsequentially.

Oops, sorry. Fixed in-thread

In reply to Xander (msg # 976):

I'm just waiting for the next subsidiary: StargunBlazers

Who would have primacy in medicinal equipment and/or treatments?  How advanced is medicine in this environment?

Hey I just noticed as I tried to remember what SAGE actually stands for, did the basic setting info thread get pruned for age?

In reply to Billy Laser Fist (msg # 979):

@Rebecca: Medical technology is more advanced than modern day, as it is capable of solving the basic problems associated with prolonged time in space (radiation exposure, loss of bone density, etc). This is not, however, the sort of world where people can live forever and rich people can zap their brains into fresh clones and whatnot. Organ cloning and cybernetics exist, though, so lifespans for the wealthy, disabled, and otherwise infirm ARE longer than they are today. What sort of medical care were you curious about?

@Billy: I haven't pruned anything recently. I used strikethrough on a big chunk of the timeline in the setting thread on Page 2 because it represented a history from an earlier vision of this setting that's no longer relevant. Related: there is a "Page 2" of threads, but the button to find the second page is sorta hard to locate on the screen. It's near the bottom of the main thread page, way lower on the page than the last thread is, if that makes any sense. Do a Ctrl-F for "older" and you'll fine it.

EDIT: Having looked over the timeline again, I think a lot of that could still have happened but the part at the end about the solar flare did not occur.

Honestly, I'd check out Page 2 of the helpdesk for a nice summary of the factions.

Aha.  that's what got me.

In reply to Billy Laser Fist (msg # 982):

I'll be out of town for a couple days, updates may be slow 'til Wednesday or so.

In reply to The Watcher (msg # 983):

Apparently the humans seem to have their typical ability to be great bridgers and highly adaptable relative to other alien species... It also seems that human biology has ability to interact with alien biology on a certain level (i.e. Hadrian).  So my biggest interest in this would be as we interact with other species being able to adapt biological, technologies and traits into human biological systems.  While Billy may be super stoked about bringing back laser beams and space drives and other items, bringing back biolgical advances could have a greater impact.

In reply to Nightmare (msg # 984):

Go vote!

In reply to Basilisk (msg # 985):

ha!  already did.

In reply to Billy Laser Fist (msg # 986):

Wait what?  We can do that?

In reply to Nightmare (msg # 987):

Well not YOU, obviously

In reply to Basilisk (msg # 988):

Anybody else have business to discuss over the meal?

In reply to The Watcher (msg # 989):

I think I’m done with dinner conversation if details of highly advanced engines and overhauls on capital husks and space stations have to await further engineering input.

In reply to Billy Laser Fist (msg # 990):

Nothing further from me

In reply to Basilisk (msg # 991):

Might be a little slow with updates this week. Handful of interviews plus guests in town. Sorry for the delays in advance!
