I just got my hands on Runner Havens the other day, and I noticed something...all of the comments and stuff are from Fastjack's board, Jackpoint. No Shadowland, no Captain Chaos...what gives? Did something happen to him in the Crash? I don't see him in the core book either.

You really need to read System Failure.

Seriously. To say that third edition went out with a bang is an understatement. Crash 2.0 changed everything.

He's dead. Moving on.

Huh. They killed off Captain Chaos? I always figured he was untouchable, hiding out in some bunker somewhere. And in SR4, they say that Shadowland was protected by some kind of backup. How did he die?

The do have an out in case the want to bring him back.

What? I suppose you're hinting that the delete wasn't confirmed?

'Twasn't.

They could also bring him back as a amnesiac Free Spirit and have him possess a cyberzombie.

Although, in the Captain's case it would probably be better to have him be an Amnesiac Free Sprite possessing Johnny Five.

That position has already been promised to Eliohann.

Would it be redundant for me to quote "O Captain! My Captain!" here? I suppose it is...
Aw, to hell with it! I'll do it anyway!

Not actually deleting him would be less of a sucker punch than "Err, he comes back as a GHOOOOOOST!"

Or, shades of Ghost In The Shell-Stand Alone Complex, as a digital 'ghost' swimming the Matrix 2.0 with impunity.......

Hey, did you guys hear? Something happened to President Dunkelzahn!

That's so depressing! But don't worry about me, because I can just visit the Sears Tower. That's bound to cheer me up!

I'll give Ricky Ratboy and Lucien Cross a call, we can make it a road trip out of it. Sure it'd be faster to get there taking a plane, but last I talked to Lucien he said something about a new aversion to flying.

I hear California is nice this time of year.

Hmm, there's a mention in Runner Havens I think about a group of Technomancer's practically worshiping someone/something they call "The Captain".

ooh, you guys wanna go x-mas shopping in the Arc downtown? I hear the stores there are great!

Yeah, and it's so safe in the Arc, too! You know, trusting every aspect of your life to a computer intelligence really makes sense.

We're now approaching our final destination, Renraku Arcology: The Arcology of the future where nothing can possi-blye go wrong. Er, possi_bly_ go wrong. Heh, that's the first thing that's ever gone wrong.

!@#$@%@#$#@$@#

Who... am I?

I've always meant to drop by Chicago, how's that doing?

It's still a bit buggy.

God will strike you down for that.

As I happen to be an Atheist I don't see much of a threat in that.

Yeah, you wish.

We protect our own, you are on the list Ivanhoe

Why is it whenever I see his name, I want to yell it out like 'Captaiiin Chaaaaooosss!!!!' like in the Flintstones cartoon for captain caveman?
