Won't need to lie to Jarik, cause he don' know 'bout no stinkin' message.

Ice knows, but he'll probably ask Graff in person. We still have to get his spores fixed too.

[Major]

Kelaeon is...eh. He's curious but doesn't view it as vital. He is concerned that Graff has Vong spores and obviously curious as to how. But it isn't his priority.

[Noedig]

Gonna have to side with Kel on this one. Graff's situation blows, and Jarik would be sympathetic, but he has his own problems.

[Felhammer]

You may not upgrade Jarik's lims right now. I need to research how viable this is... Though if you wanted to make a Trigun style hand cannon... I am not opposed.

[Philistine]

I don't know that the rules spell out exactly what is and isn't possible anywhere. GAW says full-replacement cyborgs can receive droid upgrades except processors, and IIRC also talks about modifying individual prostheses according to the S&V rules - presumably as Devices. So you should be able to do things like install hidden compartments, weapons, and whatnot - might even be able to squeeze a power generator into the torso, then build in an arm-gun (maybe an E-Web ) and never worry about reloading again.

Yes. This times forever.

[Noedig]

I was sort of thinking about channeling a bit of Grievous. Get some climbing claws, jump servos and see if we cant make two arms split to four. Now that I think about it, did we ever decide what my last bit of hardware was? Four limbs and life suppprt obviously, but isn't there a fifth piece according to the rules?

[Philistine]

Four limbs, life support is the fifth, and there should be a sixth something. Dealer's choice, I think.

Anyway, since you can receive droid upgrades adding extra limbs should be very much doable - they don't even have to be specifically part of one of your existing prostheses, if I understand it correctly. And if I have read the S&V rules correctly, each droid upgrade you install can be further modified as an individual Device.

Also - and I can't believe I forgot this - Jarik really ought to get a shield generator installed somewhere on the chassis. Then see if Ice can boost the SR. And look into alternate transportation modes (hover seems like it would be especially useful). Jarik could end up really scary, and I think the only real constraints on that are money and time.

In a game I'm in outside the 'net, I've got a cyborg who is... he's... very frightening. Thanks to being a pure noble and incredibly persuasive, he's gotten all sorts of fun abilities. Total Conversion Cyborgs are great.

[Noedig]

I would expect and support some restrictions on what is possible. This could very easily become game breaking I feel, but I'm not as well versed in SAGA as I am in other games so I could be wrong.

[Philistine]

Eh. I guess we're already a reasonably formidable group for our level, without turning Jarik into the Death Star.

The thing to watch out for will be installing droid components. Modifying those (or Jarik's prostheses) isn't likely to get anywhere near as wacky as tacking on whole new capabilities (which can then be further modified to taste).

[Thundercracker]

Right, what's the plan then? Would it be a good time for Graff & Lilly to show up?

[Felhammer]

Graff has enough clout to get himself a Predator to go where he needs to go.

Major: I don't remember where those rules were but this crystal is seething in the dark side. Not just exuding but literally seething in it.

[Noedig]

Is it possible to send a couple messages now or would you rather we handle that post credits?

But my organs go in my torso...

Hmm. So you can replace your eye(s), your nose, your tongue, your ear(s), one of your internal organs (though not your heart). That will be your sixth replacement part.

[Noedig]

So many choices, how will I ever pi-
Eyes.

[Lucretia]

It's unlikely Lillian will appear at the negotiations on Kamino, although whether that's because she is dead or not remains to be seen.

[Thundercracker]

Oh come on, even assassins need a little R+R :)

Besides, what if encounters break out on Kamino?

[Lucretia]

Depends on how the situation resolves with Graff!

[Thundercracker]

Felhammer, Ice will seek to make a copy of the holovid from the Wheel and ensure it gets into superiors' hands. The EiE should better know how to use something like that, assuming they have an underground information distribution network or something. He'll keep a few copies for himself, encrypted, just in case.

Worn out from the make-up sex?
Random cough. Nothing hidden here.

I don't think it was Saga actually. It first happened in Riptide when Jaden purified a crystal. I'll dig around and find it.

Either way, not a Saga rule (as far as I know) and I probably got mixed up.

So...I take it I can't make it a nice crystal then? :P

[Noedig]

Guess hiding the eyes would be difficult, wouldn't it. Oh well. What's the point of glowy red eyes if you cant show them off. However, I would like to point out that the eyes do look real until you get Jarik in dimly lit conditions, which makes the glow obvious.

Lilly is still not allowed to shoot me.

[Felhammer]

Hours have passed. Lilly arrived at the Dawn, then waited around as everyone else save Jarik arrived.

Sounds good. :)

[Noedig]

Sorry that my guy is turning out to be so much extra bookwork for you Fel.

Interesting. I always forget about time skips.

Anyhoodle, light still travels faster than other things in hyperspace, so the transmission will beat the Darth so long as the planet isn't in the immediate vicinity. Lillian's qualmless, and I still feel bad about the Rodian with the runny nose -- an image that makes my heart hurt even now -- so the status remains quo.

We'll see what Graff does now that the lights are out. Yes, Major, that was to your benefit. Make your jokes.

[Noedig]

You talking about the one I murdered on the Broadsword? Sorry, but he had it coming.

[Lucretia]

I actually didn't know you killed him, since I was absent from the majority of the end of that mission.

... so about that not shooting the Sarge thing...
