I want to know how all of you know that Captain Chaos dies. That's just...not fair. He's...bad-ass! I mean, he was the Shadowlands. Without him...my life is empty and gone, and so are many of my dreams. Damn it! >.< Why did he have to die? And what about anyone else? Do we know if other people died, such as Renraku Fox, Dodger, Fast Jack, and all the other loveable, huggable character's we've come to know and love. This just...damn it! Now I really need System Faliure. I need it like I need a soda. And I really need a soda right about now. *goes to get a soda, damn it*

Its been posted in another SR4 thread that Capt. Chaos dies - I don't see how posting it here spoils that.

Wel, I have yet to read the entire book but the post by FastJack (yes he is still around) at the beginning of "A History Lesson For the Realitiy Impaired" implies that yest Captain Chaos is dead. Specifically:

I put it here as not everyone had read that topic. But you're right...it's already been spoiled.

Well, like I posted long time before the release, I think Cap Chaos dying is a good idea. ;) I don't like FastJack as his successor, though. That one should have gone under, too.

I like Fast Jack as the successor. He´s never been heavily used but has always been there. He has just the right qualities to be the heavy voice of reason that every neophyte runner listens to.

Which is odd, as FastJack is probably significantly older than Captain Chaos. According to FastJack himself in the history section, he's 71.

A little bit of Leonization (The SOTA name escapes me) goes a long way.

I always asked myself, who the frag is Cap Chaos annyway? Whatever, I feared for fastjack to got blotted out of SR, but I won't shed many a tear for Cap Chaos.
Be that as that may be, opinions and tastes do vary (which is distinctively good), one never knows if a legend returns somehow, somewhere. We'll see how the official universe will progress and treat our heroes (or villains for that matter). I am looking for some exciting new twists. Regards Daniel |

Hard not to feel nostalgia and loss for the guy who prefaced every book and chapter of every book for many years.

Looks like fastjack will. Here is what Fast Jack says : "Captain chaos should've been writting this, but he went down with his ship during the second crash. Someone's got to look for the next generation, and it might as well be me because I'm the last dinosaur of my kind..." |

They use Leonization as the term in Loose Alliances. |

He's a bit old for that. Got established way back in the Denver book that he was 12 when the Awakening happened, so he missed UGE. |

Nah, there were the ones that laid the pre-Awakening groundwork for Tír na nÓg. Then i believe there were another couple in the offical web site fiction, and so on. Frankly they've gotten to be a bit like dandelions, popping up all over the place with their rude flashiness. ;) |

Capt Chaos probably Hand of God the first crash and could not do so again for the second.

He was around at the first Crash? If yes, he must be as old as Fastjack, so maybe he died because of his high age. ;)
