*nodnod* Wonderful stuff Justric. Sorry a little late getting back with people today, went out last night and kinda rolling into the waking world very, [i]very[/i] slowly this morning. We're all co-GMing this, and it's intended to be science fiction (not fantasy) of course! That said, the technology within The Mountain was always meant to be ahead of even what would have been cutting edge for 2030, so yes, reactionless drives and cryostasis, hydroponics and genetic engineering and exosuits and asteroid drilling tech, etc. Weapons development though, would have probably been at the bottom of the list of priorities, only because the Copernicus was [originally] intended to be a colonizing ship (now an ark), and not a battleship. So no, no laser blasters or laser cannons or the like, nor androids - though I can't see where exosuits wouldn't ave been developed and outfitted for security purposes as well. IN ADDITION, there is a synthetic biologist aboard in Heroes' Dr. Gavin Brock, whose entire specialty is improving the human machine in any number of ways, as Owen Reece may attest. All said, those are just my thoughts on the matter there :) Idlehands and Lillian - I think you both intended to post for your characters today, yes? Just let me know; I'll be posting later on today/tonight and don't want to step on your posts at all
