Re: [4th AASP] OOC Thread
I'm vanishing for a bit, my wife has been in the hospital for the past two days and the internet there is ridiculously strict so I haven't been able to get on.

Re: [4th AASP] OOC Thread
Some quick house keeping since there's some confusion about armor choice:
1. Your first post in 4.1 should mention what PA you're using and what weapons you've selected. Remember, you can lug two handheld PA weapons without any limitations. If your post fails to mention PA or weapons, I'm just giving you a Hostile with standard weapons. If you state your PA but no weapons selection, then you're stuck with the standard issue.
2. All Marines have brain spider back ups. So if they die and need to be resurrected after the mission, they will have no recollection of the mission.
3. In the event your character needs to be resurrected, the body will be cloned and he or she will have a fully human body. I won't be cloning a body then chopping off perfectly good arms or eyes.
So there's an incentive not to die if you have prosthetics that you really like.

If they won't put you into cyber body right away which they won'T cause it costs money
Anyway Sigma, I though with brain spiders you have complete recolection of everything that happened all up to your death. Since spiders need to be recollected and records until you are dead. So in theory only if the spider would be destroyed too, then they would have to bring out back-up and then you would have all your memories until the last time your spiders data was backed-up.

Hmm... I'll have to do my homework on this. I may be confusing it with the Yamataian system.ShotJon said:If they won't put you into cyber body right away

Re: [4th AASP] OOC Thread
No, they don't back it up all the way to the point of death. At least if what Uso did for Cedric is still technically "canon".
Drei backs up the system every time you visit the medical bay. For example: Cedric died during our mission in the casino, so he literally had no memory of the actual mission. He remembers everything before then, but not the mission itself. Hence why Phaedra and others gave him various video and audio feeds of the event to remind him.

Re: [4th AASP] OOC Thread
If that would be true Cedric then please explain to me the need of extracting the spider from the dead body and their need for the ressurection process.
EDIT: I talked with Kokuten. You remember everything. I think Uso just messed up in your case. Would not be first time.

Re: [4th AASP] OOC Thread
Uso used to play in Yamatai a lot so he was probably used to "Soul Transfer" style backups. Yamatai's mind backups are like save points. If you die, you start at the last time you saved your game in the medical center. Anything that happened in between would not be included in memory. This happened after Rufus Sydney died, and when he came back he didn't know Kotori had become his girlfriend.

Re: [4th AASP] OOC Thread
Too bad Rita doesn't even have a brain spider lolol.
Also, I totally missed the post in this thread that said I could choose my own equipment if I posted it in the main thread. Can I make some revisions to my first post to describe what Rita's hostile is outfitted with?

Re: [4th AASP] OOC Thread
I've been told about the Brain Spider Tech and made searches for it in the past, but ran into the same thing as you; my guess is that this is how it was played out IC in Nepleslia, but was never entered into the Wiki proper. However, all of the more senior players and GMs will likely attest to this as being how it is.
I guess we somehow got Cedric's head back with an undamaged spider huh?
Also, on a side note, I haven't been able to post on the 13th, and will likely be unable to post for the 14th as well.
A buddy's got his 21's, and I'm sure as hell not missing it.
