I kind of like the one from FLCL that splays out into a king (kong) size baseball mitt myself.
On a totally different tangent, do you suppose anyone has biomodded themselves a voicebox that lets them play with tractor/pressor focussed gravity waves and force bubbles yet? It only works if they're singing, or at least 'screaming musically' like a heavy metal vocalist, though...

That sounds fun, but I suspect that would be beyond the limits of a normal biomod. You'd probably need something unique, like a biomod combined with a cyber voice box replacement for cancer of the throat. And, I suspect you'd need a collar connected to a low-profile backpack, with a power supply, if you wanted to do anything more than move small household object around, like wine glasses.

So, like the SES vest to get results more impressive than party tricks? Still pretty close to source material, here. And yeah, I was already thinking along the lines of having needed a replacement throat premod. Considering how much wavetech tends to respond to music, it might actually be a Spiritia-active substance like Fold Quartz. It's close enough to be the fen in question's working theory, at least. Maybe a former May-December idol singer who got shuffled off to low budget hentai VA after the industry
chewed her up and spat her out, took up smoking from the stress of having lifelong musical dreams crushed, and proved to be one of the highly susceptible fraction of a percent who get a rapid onset and quickly developing throat cancer. With the option of no voice, death, or space and the 'wave, option #3 was an easy pick when Minmay, Myung, and Mylene, plus their VAs, were all among her favorites. As a fen, she's loosely affiliated with the Gearheads by virtue of the Macross connection, president of the
Marsbase Sara chapter of the Musician's Aid Society, and specializes in recording new music that makes wavetech work, so the owners don't go nuts from having to listen to the same damn thing all the time. The fact that her music is just plain good now that she's using her own material instead of generic industry pabulum, and that some of her customers are BNFs with thier own following, gives her the wider audience needed to make a career of it. She has, however, refused all offers of an SES valkyrie,
citing a lack of Zentreadi, Protodeviln, or Vajra that would require such measures, and a tendency to motion sickness that makes flying in anything a misery.
Now she just needs a name...
ETA And naturally the thread has moved on while I was writing. Yeah, what Dartz said - Mars and Venus may be getting closer by 2020 but no one can really be totally self-sufficient in a space hab, there's just to much critical stuff that can break, and if you think you'll go without outside convenience items, tell that
to the half of your population who have a monthly use for Midol and tampons.
&%$#@!** PSP input box!
Star of Fenspace music e-shops, audio and video streams, Hoshikage Kouyou (Starlight Glittering) probably has a different real name, but between the fen love of image and the tendency to choose a new, genre appropriate name after coming Up, no one is too interested in calling her on it.
Edit again to use a name that's not an existing character
