I wish I had a robot pal with advanced computation capabilities that would call me "mommy". Ok, maybe not "mommy"... maybe like, "professor" or something classy like that. :p
Out of curiosity, how common is it for humans in New Troy, to get a companion droid (and not necesarily a sex bot either) to keep them company because they need the company ?
I'd imagine a lot of nerds who isn't good at the social stuff might be inclined to have such companions.
VERY common actually. and predominately they are used in domestic capacity .. not sex. cleaning , personal assistance , Secretary , Guards , Nurses ect ect .. D
I probably missed this in story but when did New Rome put a bounty on their own mercenary? I remember a certain high yobo wanting to make an example of her for having claimed difficulties in capturing a certain young lady, but I don't remember a capture order.
Also Side note since I had no chance to reply about my Hugging everyone cept certain folks yesterday.
LEt me just say YEs I hugged deci Mostly cause I am sure He would be upset by that...and frankly....Given all the PAIN coming his way really soon You cannot help but pitty him Slightly.. I mean Its like watching a Predator kill a alien sure you feel sorry for the Alein but you are not sad its Freaking dead.
Pretty sure Total Psycho Dickhead won't get offed by Cent-Comm's crew. Safeguards go off, Nova Roma blows up, everybody dies. Much too Shakespearean an ending for Cent and Rose, methinks.
So, no, no sympathy as I'm not anticipating it. I do think Decimus is one of the most interesting characters in the cast and perhaps has some depths and complexities we've not seen yet (note: I said interesting, not pleasant). Plus I like your motivation for hugging him.
That could be a pretty funny filler, velvet. Dolly cracking the 4th wall and this thundering herd of readers rushing in and trampling over Nova Roma, sweeping everyone (important) up and carrying them away.
lets see.. day one- kidnap , day two and three and four - sleep off nano med treatment from Julia, Another 2 days here with Dollys upgrade. ( rose will have to fill in the rest. ) but its been about 2 weeks- ish?
Oh, I didn't remember that the nano treatment lasted that long.
So I thought it was :
-Kidnap on day one, apply nano treatment.
-Wake up next day, eat cake, then meet & greet the douchebag and then go grav bike riding, end day by beating up douchebag with a candlestick.
-Go to Aeneas, play videogames.
-Go to Irenes place, fool around in bath.
-Current day.
Feb 9: Lynn's birthday and kidnapping. Teedee and Ada arrive at the site and get shot down. Dr. Demark manages to take flash backups on both of them.
Feb 10: Dolly is loaded into her new body.
Feb 12: Lynn wakes up. Minx is rescued.
Feb 13: Dolly wakes up and sets out with Ceci; they find Logrin's bunker and arrange for Dr. Demark to be picked up and taken back to New Troy. Kyle contacts Calli, then is contacted by Tokyo Rose.
Feb 14: Cent-Comm talks to Marcus and Cella. Dolly and Ceci continue their journey.
Feb 15: Kyle leaves New Sparta, Mr. Black arrives in New Troy, Teedee and Ada are reloaded, Dolly and Ceci hit a dust storm and have to land at Joleet. Just before midnight, Decimus assaults Acantha.
Feb 16: (early) Maxus has the girls stay in his quarters. Dolly and Ceci visit Breaker's and Dari's ass is kicked. Team Marcus sets out from New Troy.
(later on) Mira fixes Dolly's ride. Acantha and Lynn visit Aeneas, and that evening, they go to Irene's. Kyle arrives in New Rome.
Feb 17: Team Marcus has fun in Ahta. Dolly and Ceci leave Joleet. Acantha and Lynn get an invitation to the palace.
Feb 18: Dolly and Ceci arrive in New Rome.
Mind you, this is a somewhat sloppy timeline because Cent and I keep going "maybe we don't need THIS scene" and "let's put in THIS scene instead" and it really fucks things up.
"Big and ambitious" indeed. What the frak is in that ocean anyway, the Kraken? Those renderings of 'Heads up' displays are beautifully done, Centcomm. Is that a template or what?
honestly - not many people know whats in the ocean anymore other than most of the original sea life was wiped out - and oceanography is not a big winner in 3825..
as for the displays .. i cant take full credit i typed in sci fi interface and looked for "free" then mashed bits and pieces together to make the holograms :D
THAT is the best Tedee can mentally imagine? Seriously T-rex or GRimlock?
HEre Tedee just for you Mentally imagine this. You in a full set of Battle armor Secured to a pilot point on the back of SMAUG. But no just ANy Smaug. A Fully Cyborized and modernly armed Smaug, who obeys Any Mental command you transmit to him And only You! Now Imagien yourself like THAT flying into battle.
Oh good I know what TO get TEdee for Christmas then :) *has tech start building a mark 2. this one with Orbital flight/strike capabilities And a beverage holder
I'd imagine a lot of nerds who isn't good at the social stuff might be inclined to have such companions.
Sure, there's bad apples, but still.
Sounds like they have it pretty good.
For us!
Dolly is messing with the 4th wall, Rash.
LEt me just say YEs I hugged deci Mostly cause I am sure He would be upset by that...and frankly....Given all the PAIN coming his way really soon You cannot help but pitty him Slightly..

Nope I just mean what he has coming. To quote a famous person and a Very spunky AI NAmed Tedee You'd be amazed what you can LIVE through.
Yup it was years :)
If Dolly breaks the fourth wall, is two-way travel possible? If so, then hurry up and break it, Dolly! We'll all help you rescue Lynn!
So I thought it was :
-Kidnap on day one, apply nano treatment.
-Wake up next day, eat cake, then meet & greet the douchebag and then go grav bike riding, end day by beating up douchebag with a candlestick.
-Go to Aeneas, play videogames.
-Go to Irenes place, fool around in bath.
-Current day.
So it looked to be about 4-5 days for me.

You should add to Feb 16: CeCi's watchdog is tamed.
By the way nobody seemed to celebrate VD/SAD anymore at Feb 14...
And yeah, a timeline would be neat for the extra's section. :)
S.A.D. is kind of like the anti-Valentine's Day.
At mjkj, this year may NOT be a typical year. No one may have felt like celebrating because of the kidnapping.
Thank you for providing the 'rough' timeline though. It helps put the events into perspective.
as for the displays .. i cant take full credit i typed in sci fi interface and looked for "free" then mashed bits and pieces together to make the holograms :D
Heck, they hunt great white sharks already, so they'd probably love hunting mutated sharks too.
If TeeDee could ride around on the back of an Orca, she would.
That's how awesome they are. :)

*Waits for Tedee's reaction*
And the earth shook with fear !
