Wheee First Comment, before Centy even. Still think he should try to give them tasers, from crotch to scalp with one of those would make Decimus cool his ardor.
OK so now modify the bracelet Lynn wears so His Excellency the Vinegar and Water Douche can push the button till hell freezes over and nothing happens but him getting a sore finger. Better yet set it with feedback so when douchey boy pushes it he gets shocked.
Aeneas is so suave and debonair!
And Acantha is definitely a Princess.
(BTW: Dear Artiste; your attention to detail is just hyper-impressive!
I see that green glow up Lynn's left sleeve* in front of that other green equipment light glow!
yep that is indeed her bracelet thats lighting up the inside of her sleeve.. its a very small point light ( not that anyone would know that ) but yes the bracelet is self lit :D
"The Nova Romans are glad to die for honor. They delight in fighting duels. But I prefer a man who lives And gives expensive high tech-jewels. A gun that can't be tracked May be quite continental, But shiny audio/video tracking monitors are a girl's best friend."
I hesitate to give anything away, but I'll say that standard androids aren't built with sel-cast receivers. That is, however, a terrifyingly awesome idea.
What is a "Sel-cast repeater" ?
Also: what range does it have (e.g. inside buildings), is it detectable ? (For video, it must need quite a bit of bandwidth)
And can Aneas use it to send a warningsignal ?
City AIs use a sel-cast system to remotely animate their dolls. Like many of Aeneas's other systems, his is currently damaged. A repeater is a device intended to receive a weak signal and boost it to extend its effective range. Draw your own conclusions. ;)
The signal is specialized enough that it requires equally specialized equipment to detect. And given how quirky Aeneas is, one should not put it past him to have built a blinky LED into the thing to use as a warning signal...
Acantha, never accept a ring from a man unless you set a date. :-D Now if she rubs the ring will Aeneas appear in a puff of smoke to grant her wish? Aeneas does look a bit like a djinn.
Aeneas can now see, hear, and know exactly where Acantha is at all times, right? Essentially, she has been LoJacked?
I'm sure Aeneas has only her best interests at heart. (She can always take the ring off after this is all over) But I still find the whole thing a little creepy.
HAL 9000 has started singing -
"Every single day
And every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay
I'll be watching you"
- it just jumped straight into my head.
Years of writing gaming campaigns has nurtured the devious paranoid center in my brain, so for me the story just took a new twist right here. =)
I have been classified as a defensive pessimist. So I have always had a paranoid/pessimistic outlook. Am I always thinking that the other person is trying to put something over on me? Yes. Am I happy being wrong most of the time? Hell yeah! What does all this do for my thinking process? Well lets just say I freely admit to having more loose screws than a hardware store and claim to have been refused admittance to mental institutions for being so far around the bend that I am back to "normal" How's that for deviously paranoid?
All in all one hopes that her reluctance to accept the gun might have warned Aeneas from telling her about a heavy duty shock he can trigger through the ring to knock Old Vinegar and Water on his butt and unconscious for a few hours so she can do what she wants to get out of dodge. Does Lynn get any shiny gee-gaws?
She could use some creative refurbishment on her current bracelet.
Otherwise there are going to be some technical issues when the rescue party tries to take Lynn back to New Troy...
Well almost before she got hers up.

I fear my spine
Is in decline.
I must recline
Before I whine!*

As a show of respect to the Office of Imperator of Nova Roma;
Decimus should be henceforward referred to as Summer's Eve.
I don't suppose you could get TR to describe the steps in gathering and refining scythe lizard musk oil?
Aenas knows how to make a girl happy :P
Yes. I love that. Those are the words of a benign, insane AI.
Go Cent!
