Could someone tell me what happened with the events brought up in year of the comet? I have that book, but not the stuff that came after "Wake of the comet". Search function didn't seem to help me in this case.
Probe Race: So what? Who won? what did they/if anyone find? Lesbian Vulcan slavegirls? Galactic snotball? Did getting to the comet have any real in-game effects? Shedim: What happened? I know they were introduced in Year of the Comet, but so what? :) Did it turn out to be a extraplanar plot? Fallout just from GW breaking through the rift? Did it have any real resolution? Japanese Kid emperor. He a god? An adept? A shedim that inhabited the body of the kid that was actually killed in the volcano eruption? Oricalchum race. Did it go poof after comet passed? Or remains viable? Any word on the other super-race minerals that were found? Any effects? |

Officially, Ares won the Probe Race. Wake of the Comet is a series of three adventures dealing with the race at various points. [e] SotA:64 mentions the winner of the race.
Shedim became even more sinister after the appearance of Master Shedim, but have largely been "dealt" with (aka, left to GMs to decide where best to put them). Japanese Emperor has an ancestor spirit guiding him, but seems human otherwise. His wife is a hot otaku, as well. [e] And Japan is entering a new Era, as is tradition - the new palace is in Tokyo. He's got some pull with fingers in Shaiwase and Yamatetsu, but it's a fight everyday. Oricalchum went poof. |

His wife is a hot ex-vampire ex-shadowrunner dissonant otaku megacorp heiress, to be more specific.

Oh dear god. This is precisely why I started to ignore the metaplot after SR2. Really.

Daddy Shiawase was working on a cure for HMHVV and let a vampire infect her as part of the experiment. Apparently, it worked. And no, she isn't a Deus pawn. She was friendly with Mirage and I believe that Deus threatned her, among others, to force Mirage to back off his efforts to free the Network. |

I'm pretty sure this /was/ SR2 metaplot.
The drug hasn't appeared on the market, if that's what you're asking. |

Nope. There are still plenty of vampires. The treatment was never made public for some reason. I don't know why. I never read that book. I just know what I've heard from others.

OK then, but it wasn't ever so obvious that you meant YotC.
I'm thinking something from SoA just clicked into place. |

Apparently :P But yeah, the Shiawase CEO betrothed his daughter to the Emperor in an attempt to make nice with the royal family following the blunder that led to them NOT DETECTING THE WHOLE FRAGGING RING OF FIRE GOING UP (and the Emperor's family dying as a result) |

I've only got the first of these, but in the others are there any hints at all about what Ares actually found on the comet? (Or indeed, what they might have been so desperately looking for?) |

If you're the DM, you can say what they found on the comment. But IIRC canoniacally, they found Orichilum.

so cliche'. couldn't they have found something more interesting. like a reply from the first satellite that was launched way back in the 70's with a CD with our arts and history on it (forget it's name, but it was in Star Trek and X-files). Something along the lines of "wow, you're 'music' sucks. That Napolean guy wasn't so bad though."
