climbs back in through airlock with quiet determination

[interlinked]

Hello, fellow navigators through time and space. I (a ghost) have brought to you Officer KD6-3.7 (a replicant) from the recent film, Blade Runner 2049.



K is just an average joe who does his best.
Along with that ferocious fledgling soccer mom over there, he will be hatching into brood Sargas. What he lacks in the ponytail department, he makes up for with heavily conditioned chill, which he will cling to so desperately in the beginning that he may bruise it a little. Maybe some of you can relate.

His spoiler-laden app is here if you care to see it. Permissions and info will be up for the weekend. And come find me on plurk; it'll be like a shitty scavenger hunt! heh heh.

Yo, Jay! I've only seen mumblemumble number of BSG episodes but am happy to see a cast member nonetheless. We will robots so much. Thank you kindly for the welcome.

[frakkincylons]

lmao yeah i think that's the usually answer i get, the ive seen mumblemumble number of BSG episodes :') no worries, no worries, it's a huge show. i'm ready for robotsing yo bring it.

It is very huge and very good and Kara and Gaius were my homeskillets. If only sleep were optional, finishing the thing would be easy...

[frakkincylons]

it is fff. if you ever want to watch more btw i have it on hulu and im super down for streaming it for people. my husband is actually going through the series now and i usually plurk if were rabbit casting it. but yeah, binging it still takes like weeks 8'|

ALSO HEY this never came up before because we didn't have synthetics in the game when i was here before, but sam has what's basically a technopathy ability, and he'd never use it on another synthetic life unless it was like repairing/life saving, but it's a through touch thing so a question came to mind - are you wanting anyone to know about K being an AI? if so, should sam be able to pick up on it if he touches him?

NO PRESSURE EITHER WAY i just realized it was a possible thing and wanted to run it by you and our luv player too before hatch log stuff goes down

I've got the series here, just fell off it for some reason or other, and now can't remember exactly where I left off, heh heh. But thank you kindly for the offer. I might pop in at some point if I'm around during a stream session. (once we are enplurkened.)

And, that's an interesting idea I hadn't considered before now. I'll discuss it with Jenni (Luv's player) and get back to you.

[frakkincylons]

oh oh i think i just found you, im wuzzafuzzle on plurk

sweet, yeah, just let me know! :3

You did it. /throws one handful of confetti

So, the consensus between us: it may be possible for Sam to recognize that there's something off about their biology, if that is something he can do, but he won't be able to interface with or otherwise control any of their processes, like he would a computer or some other more synthetic construct.

If something very cool and plotty comes up, though, we can probably re-discuss.

[frakkincylons]

oh yeah, i wouldnt want him to use that on them in terms of controlling at all, thats a little Too Much, ICly and OOCly, no worries.

sensing something is off sounds awesome - i think the only thing he'd really be able to tell as far as sensing would be picking up on synthetic mixed in with their biology, seeing as that's all he really has the extra sense for - technological things. so he could be unsure if they're just augmented humans or actually synthetic in nature? and just be kind of like uuuh what the shit is this nonsense?

does that seem like it'd be good for ya'll?

[interlinked]

After further chatting about this, we think it makes more sense if Sam can't sense anything is off about them after all. Cylons have a cool digital molecular structure, but we don't think replicants are quite the same as that, more like... bespoke super-humans with no purely synthetic elements, despite being "synthesized" from organic material in labs. (We probably shouldn't even call them robots OOC but oh well, it's fun.)

Blah blah blah, to sum up, let's give that one a miss, but there's still much room for philosophical robot goodness. :>

[frakkincylons]

Okay, cool, that makes sense! yeah, no worries, that's why I asked, since the biology of it is all weird and shit. it's really vague in BSG with how Cylons are organic and synthetic and still auto-recognize each other? at least in terms of it coming to the final five, etc etc, complicated later series stuff.

ANYWAY, yes, i feel you, booboos, we'll skip out on that part and have robutts stuff come up another way :3
