Call me slow...maybe this has been mentioned before...but did anyone else catch the Battletech reference in SOTA:2064, pg19, where a certain Ridzik gets offed at a dinner party by a bomb left by an escort?

Except, just as in BT, he wasn't gaffed thanks to some last minute intervention.

You mean the ones made by Tikonov and Rabid Fox (again, BT references)? Yeah, I mentioned it on the SOTA 2064 thread a while back.

Just as if you looked carefully, the surveillance drone in the game information of the same article is also another BT reference. I don't want to spoil it for you.

Where's that reference? It might be innocent - it is originally a Russian term for deception.

Hey there, sorry for the delay! :)
