lurkerwithoutSo even for a fanfic concept like this I still end up thinking, whats the setting like? We've established its got a post-attempted rebellion thing going on like Bab5 or Firefly. So I decided that 1. No FTL ships. They have SOMETHING that can go FTL but the mass it works on is negligible, allowing it to create a system wide information/communication network. And the tech is advanced enough so that if the gravity doesn't squish everything, humans can colonize any of the planets and moons with varying degrees of difficulty...
First up is The Wildcat. When you're flying a pirate ship against a military just HOPING for an enemy you'd best be quick, quiet and clever. Captain Jack Spartan certainly thinks he and his people are. And with the Colonial Rebellion long dead, the days of easy pickings are over. But he's got a good crew Grifter Cash can slice any data free to find their targets. Sata "Zealot" Kagi was one of the Rebellion's best pilots and will do anything that lets her hurt the establishment. And ex-military cyborgs Voodoo, Maul and Warblade provide him with all the muscle he should need to intimidate their targets. But every day the shadows get brighter and it gets harder for a crook to make a dishonest buck...
The SolNet communications network extends instant communication across the system. And within it is the EtherNet, a virtual world where data slicers and wannabes play and work. And out of the super-dense data pit that is Pitt Industries something new has emerged. Spawn is a self-aware construct. The first true A.I. Or at least that what "he" thought. But while exploring the EtherNet as Al, Spawn keeps getting cryptic hints of earlier A.Is. And of stranger things hidden in the depths of the 'Net...

*pouts at you*
Yeah, m'still recovering from stuff (the trip and coming home to utter stupidity in RL) so no scary Willow yet.
Also! Before I left I tried to understand the game system you mentioned. It left me cross eyed. :(

Date: 2008-04-05 04:12 pm (UTC)I happen to adore algebra. But there's something about math and stats for a game that makes my smart genes click over all stereotypical and STRUTS like.
Wait maybe not STRUTS FASHION WHORSES. Girls who like shopping generally know how to computate a sale. Is there a "My Little Comatose Victim' toy series?
