Id Manifester:  A device that manifests a personification of the user’s subconscious. This manifestation varies by user, however those with greater exo skill and greater Will numbers will have more powerful manifestations.  The details of exactly how this device functions are hazy and the manifestations have shown a degree of cognition and self awareness, and they have shown a propensity for attacking or attempting to overpower their creator if that creator lacks the will to control them.  Created via data gathered during midbrain implantation of MMI and “God Computer” prototype 112.

Oh.
Oh my.
Oh mmmmmyyyyyyyyyyy
That's ... making me reconsider my plans to dump exo. Because I wanna see the things that would come out of Xan's subconscious very badly.

Speaking of which, what are the rules for levelling up things with an enhanced genemod thing? If I have +3 from points and chargen but an additional +1 from the mod, do I level the skill up like I'm going from +3 to +4?
Cause if so I have ideas.

Heard someone use the word "gay" to insult someone else in class today.

*shrug.
I do that. Or more specifically, to lament lame situations.

But for some reason, the word 'gay' is segregated in my mind into the two meanings. Like a dictionary with:
Gay:
1. (Noun) Homosexual
2. (Adjective) Bad, Stupid
3. (Old-timeytalk) Carefree, happy

Just because you can use one or the other, doesn't mean the former is the latter.

Which... probably isn't an excuse on my part.
I guess it's similar to how 'Fuck' is an exclamation of things going wrong, and also a sexual act.
If people actually confused the two, you'd get some very unwanted attention whenever you stubbed your toe.
For specificity of example, 'Fuck Me'. In Australia, anyway, any random who bangs their thumb with a hammer is likely to say it. Nobody, however, is likely to take it as a proposition.

I feel the need to reference that one South Park episode that had the kids point out their view of the difference between being gay (which they think is okay and no big deal) and being a 'fag', which they use to refer to loud obnoxious motorcycle divers.

((Welp, my luck had to express itself somehow.))

Oh, Black Halos are pretty useful for that. If I had an organic head I'd pick one up myself.

((Honestly as long as I get to run around on Heph for a little bit before going back to the ship I'll be just fine.))

((The amps going off just kinda killed the thing outright, didn't they.))

Check out the dissolution of the bed (and also what the bed is made of and whether it's dissolving the walls as well). How far has it gotten? It's been... a few weeks or so IC since the Eater of Cold mission, right? The entire room now looks like it's covered in primitive red kudzu if I understand correctly, yes?

In any case, take a sample of the moss growing in Chief's old room and go over to Thad's old room and set a sample in the middle of the room, leaving it floating in place.

Anyone wanna bet that this is gonna be the basis of an on-ship mission soon, or at least a collective hate mob as everyone runs after Cthunkan going 'the fuck did you do to my room (that I never do anything with)?!'
