Goddamn killer spambots, lurking in my abandoned hab mesh

Players, what's the strangest or scariest thing you found on an abandoned hab.

GMs, what's the craziest or scariest thing you've ever put on an abandoned hab.

>Everyone on a hab probably knows each other well so they won't take kindly to you spacing Rick, even if Rick might have been secretly an exhuman

>M-morty, I'm not an exhuman, okay? You got that? Exhuman is, is, it's a fi*URRP* filthy slur, used by small, petty minded, um, rigid little tyrants. Tyrants who think everyone should *URP* think like they do, Morty. It's a filthy slur and I don't, I don't wanna hear it. Anyway, it's not true in the first place. I'm a singularity seeker, Morty. I do science. I don't turn myself into a xenomorph for fun and games. I tried it once, no fun. No idea what people see in that life, Morty.

Ah yes, Aetherwave, the haunting, slightly pretentious music which can only be "properly appreciated" if you have Enhanced Hearing.

Or Euterpe music, "mathematically perfect" music made by AGIs, for AGIs. Some of the musical arrangement is downright fractal!

>>49227048
First Panel:
>These are the only alien lifeforms that are confirmed to have made contact [with human civilization]. They live in the sea!?

Second Panel:
>And what about humanity?
>They have created artificial habitats across the solar system.
The rest of the text is just notes about the planetary societies in Eclipse Phase.

Third Panel:
>The human race is like this in this world:
>Body -> Soul -> Cerebral Cortex Storage Device (STACK) -> Prosthetic Body (MORPH) OR Will of the People (INFORMATION REFUGEES)
>Body -> Jupiter Republic of Refugees (Do not like body modification) OR Lost Generations
>Intelligent organisms [animals]

Fourth Panel:
>Kore Do(?) is very likely to set up parties of PCs
>Because of the Firewall

Fifth Panel:
>First, it is recommended to play with [as?] Firewall.
>It's a secret society with a secret mission: to prevent the destruction of the human race!
>It's cool!!
Something like, "You named your character 'Firewall' too?!"

Sixth Panel:
>All told,
>It's probably easier to use the sample names [in the game]

>>49230353
>Soul
>In Eclipse Phase
"Ego" would probably be the better translation, unless they actually used that exact word.

>>49231139
It's written as "soul" but read as "ego". Chuunibyou love that kind of shit.

>>49231139
>>49231380

I'd wager some eastern societies have less baggage about the idea of your soul bandying around slotting in places that western ones and various ideas of the immortal soul and other shenanigans.

Guys, i've only read the corebook. The other books expand the main plot? Or the setting always stays at 10 AF

use spoilers please

>>49232915
They all do, read the books.

>>49232915

I don't think the game explicitly advances the timeline by saying "now it's 11 AF!" but works like Firewall and X-Risks are definitely working on projecting advancements and new material in the setting and its plot.

>>49233153
oh but nothing like the final chapter of the corebook

>>49233502

Oh yeah, no, every book has a "Game Information" back end which has hard rules and either facts or options about stuff going on in the high or even meta-level of the setting. Firewall and X-Risks has probably the most directly relevant materials, expanding on ideas presented as vague GM stuff in the core, offering new options or elaborations. But, like I said, the game has yet to hit a point where they say "BTW, this is written from the perspective of 11 AF now, here's what shit happened in 10 AF", that's kind of on your group to decide.

The game has not, and probably never will, elaborate on the ETI or the complete nature of the Exsurgent Virus

>>49233968
oh man, i mean i don't care about more stuf about what you said in the spoilers. But i really expect more about the factors.

X-Risks is the book for you. Gives us the best concrete information outside of Core on what factors are actually like, what people talk to them about, what they want, etc. Gives more stats for factors, more details, talks about their technological capabilities, etc.

>>49229887
Some of these genres could be simulated by use of existing genres if players are willing to suspend their disbelief a little bit.

For example, extremely technical pieces or high concept pieces could be used to simulate mathematically perfect music. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMkl8TD0NUg

>>49229887
Yet you still get stoned fuckers in every corner of the system strumming stringed instruments and drunk fuckers with vuvuzellas. It's just that they're all open source fabber products now.

>>49235108

Fun fact: I made like a dozen dumb futuremusic genres about the time we spent a thread or two making up dumb future-slang.

One of them was "Hash Rock", which is a Scum music genre which happens when you combine hobbism, lots of space weed and the fact that many people in the future will only have very shallow casual knowledge of the concept of Rock music.

>>49233968
To your spoiler.

Thank god for that. Don't advance the plot of a setting.

Are exocortexes ever expanded on anywhere?

>>49234152
Reminds me of a Wraithlord. I think it's the lack of a face. Be a fun morph game. The Warhammer 40000 re-enactment hab in orbit around Mars. Sign up, sleeve up, play ball.

And the corps hope you don't notice if you do too well, they drop you into the TQZ for funsies.

>>49236286

Well, one of the MARGs described in Sunward is basically Warhammer Fantasy.
