My calendar says it's March. . .
On a similar note, does Eclipse Phase have aliens?


Yes but so far just one intelligent race The Factors. A race that meets the descriptor of alien. Collective space faring slime molds. Who have come to "warn" humanity or whats left of it.

Also, they apparently represent several other species. And don't forget the alien trolls on Giza.

I'm just reporting what I heard at the time and I'm reporting it as rumor and hearsay.


I'm only mentioning it just to say that whatever others may or may not want to do, I don't plan to let aliens in. Just trying to set minds at ease and clarify my position.

Not planning, and not allowing are two different things.

Anyhow, there's lots of Aliens in Shadowrun. Latinos, Africans, Asians, Pinkskins... nyahnyah.gif

Good, 'cause you'd be down a couple more writers, too. rotfl.gif

And the seven year plan was just for the stocks for Ares. Apparently, the entirety of the plan was "Let Damien Knight do whatever he wants with the block" since she signed over proxies to him for two of those years. Allowed Knight to drum Leonard Aureluis out of the company. This, of course, backfired because Aureluis then went on to Cross and became a bigger thrown in Knight's side while at the same time set up Arthur Vogel to take his place becoming a bigger thorn than Aureluis was inside the company in the first place.
Daviar and Knight already hated each other, and Dunkelzahn surely knew it. It wouldn't have been a bad idea to have the first part of the plan asking Daviar not to do anything particular against Knight for some time. Had Daviar the opportunity, she would probably have backed Leonard Aurelius. But Dunkelzahn probably wanted Knight to stay in position to pursue the fight against the insect spirits threat. An open conflict between Knight and Daviar would also have undermined the Haeffner administration.
If the instructions really were not to move for two or three years, using the proxy rights on Gavilan Ventures as a negotiation tool with Knight would have been a smart move from Daviar.

I'm not sure any authors ever took the time to decide what the seven years plan should be about. It could be about Ares helping or hampering the New Revolutions moves. Or it may have t do with one of my favorite and most overlooked plot ever, the Man & Machine bit about Ares Macrotechnology having to choose between MCT and Pueblo companies to develop nanotechnology needed to stay in the space race, which opened the possibility of an Ares-MCT merger. Blood in the Boardroom and Corporate Download hints at a Pueblo connection that gave (along with Hestaby, and maybe the Draco Foundation or some other source) Arthur Vogel the money to buy more Ares shares from Leonard Aurelius. Now, we're a few years down the line, there is no Ares-MCT alliance, Ares is still a major player in the ongoing space conquest, and Arthur Vogel is executive director of AresSpace.

Daviar gave Knight proxy rights for two years because he had Ryan Mercury and the cyberzombie Burnout had her. She really had no choice in the matter.

Her nipples are mentioned throughout the novels including the first one. The gams password was in Target Matrix iirc.

Oh goodness, lusty brown elven nipples. These things are just ridiculous. Like, it's practically mind control.
Angelone
Yeah, exactly. They can also cure mind control.
CanRay
I thought nipples caused mind control.

Now imagine the powers of Awakened Nipple Adepts.
Stahlseele
and people still wonder why others are complaining about adept run . . now they're even in the nipples!

So... Nadja Daviar is the original pornomancer?

Doc Chase
For all intents and purposes, yes. At least here. nyahnyah.gif

I prefer the term nipple adept. They are her weapon foci.

The ultimate pornomancer! She was able to enchant DUNKIE!

In the first draft for System Failure's 2064 coup, Ryan Mercury was killed protecting Daviar from assassins in Seattle, and she would go MIA afterwards. Word count and quality editing removed that specific bit. read.gif
