Quote:Is the armor not actually tech, but magic?
Tech - I would assume you don't reboot magic.
Quote:Am I reading more into this than there really is?
Possibly - the upshot is that Mag is not whom he appears to be, and it's a secret identity thing. Sylia, to date, is the only person that's seen his 'Real Face', though there's currently no plans to make this anything sinister.
Quote:Maybe I'm just dense this morning. But...
Note the post time - 2am on the night before work, it turns out, is not a good time to be trying to lace dialog together. Especially when that's not your forte.
Quote:So Mag is significantly less stocky than he looks. I guess?
Is the face in the helmet actually not his true face? I assume he's a male (tenor voice).
Circle gets the square on both of them - Mag's a big guy, sure, but the lion's share of his bulk is the armor, which it turns out, will hold a lot of similarities to Sylia's earlier work. The full facial mask is a simple holographic projection, trivial with Paragon level tech.
Quote:(I guess it makes sense that anyone with base editing permissions also has the authorization to shut down the teleporters. Lora'Lai would be a bit concerned about that. That's a potential security risk.)
Security Log: 2047/08/10; 04:46:17.10: User: Mag Flashlight: System: Entry/Teleport: All systems disabled: Reasoncode: 047 (Personal secret identity in danger of compromisation, no medial or other assistance needed)
Security Log: 2047/08/10; 04:53:47.80: User: Mag Flashlight: System: Entry/Teleport: All systems enabled: Reasoncode: 042 (Situation resolved)
Quote:I dunno, I would be extremely confident that any of the Top Three (ignoring Terr for the moment, heh) would have the ability to remotely start the teleporters back up again.
I do believe that @Atlantea, which would by necessity include Lora'Lai, Cyberman, etc, have the base teleporter vet power - for RP purposes, this could be considered issue to the leadership of The Legendary, and functioning as a sideling to the medicom teleporter system (to prevent lockouts and etc)
Quote:Why, oh god why, am I suddenly struck by the mental image of a _female_ Mag? I know, I played Metroid too often... but, still.
Just remember that the next time altitis strikes. And I debated making it a female Mag, for about half a second. but.. no.
to reiterate the gist of my replies to Logan - this bit of drabble is gonna get ground down and rebuilt, since it turns out that o-dark-hundred when operating on too little sleep is not a good time to do dialog-heavy fic. Who Knew?
this will remain up as a warning, though ; )
