I asked Rob about this after reading SF. My personal theory is that Collotan was a member of NR, and betrayed her cronies, and assasinated her boss. It was UCAS troops who pulled the trigger, and I suspect the person they were communicating with was Colloton.
BTW, I asked him when this plot thread might be resolved. He said "No idea." |

You are not the only one who has had a similar theory.
I have no idea on "resolving" that plot thread, but I'd love more opportunities to use Colloton while she's president. |

yeah, the fact that she used the Tree of Liberty quote pretty well cinches it. i'm not a big fan of her having used that quote, to be honest--it's like wearing a gigantic neon sign that has been lit on fire, which reads "I AM A MEMBER OF THE NEW REVOLUTION".

On a similar note, I was dissapointed about the 5 year leap in time. Opening the new rulebook and reading, "Oh, by the way, Saito was kicked out of CFS, a good chunk of SoCal was submerged in the Pacific, Nadia Daviar dissappeared without a trace, the Draco Foundation with her", etc. It was so...unsatisfying. I wish fanpro had done an interim plot book to cover the bases, something like an expanded "Wake of the Comet" book.

In fact, FanPro D once announced an adventure book that would've covered the 2065*-2070 gap from a German POV but that book never appeared. And with Fanpro no longer being the SR licensee... * The German System Failure was released not as the last SR3 book but as the first SR4 book and contained some additional AGS-centered information set in 2065. |

The DF hasn't gone anywhere. |

It's worth keeping in mind that now Aina is running the show, too. |

Ah, yes. I meant to say that the DF has become much less visible. BTW, I understand that there's a german language SOX book. Any chance of that seeing print in english?

There's a french version, too. And like most german stuff, there most likely will never be an international version.

Damn. Guess I'll have to make do with "Target: Wastelands" and extrapolate from there.

Actually, the resulting setting might make more sense than the one described in SOX... :|

Newsflash...on SR4.com, it says that the SOX book will be in english, albeit in PDF form only.

One might question the wisdom of placing an avid blood magic user and confirmed Horror-'Ho in charge of an organization whose secret goals are, ostensibly, to protect the world from the abuse of blood magic and the coming Horrors. :silly: |

Know thine enemy. She's backed off the blood magic considerably. I would assume even more so after that mess at Crater Lake.

Well, her unique expertise in said area makes her the natural choice for the job, doesn't it?
