Mystery AI and Lore question

Very astute and to the point, BBB.

The Scions escaped from Braddock during the events of TRO (Avatar has not given out the beautify written details about this yet). I say that knowing most consider Avatar and authority, much as I do.

Is there not just the chance the Scions live a darn long time?

I blame the Scion deaths on either a fallacy in Braddock's procedure of a fail safe he built in. The Scions however, find Core, a terraformed biometaloid, which can filter and cleanse their biometal forms (as in my theories this is what the Core form does to the Biometaloid itself). Theoretically, Furies might not exist on Core if this effect is automatic from just living there. It depends...

I got some opinions from Avatar about Core and found he thought the same on key aspects as I did, so I wrote a story about it on my wiki (it should be noted unlike 'official' wikis, my Wiki is more holder for original research).

The end is a big vague, I will fix that some time.

EDIT: This was written well before the above and might need some tweaks: http://www.bzcomplex.com/wiki/index.php?title=Scion_dialysis

A male and a female Scion get recycled by their Forge then make love inside the computer and the one million eggs that get launched into her become born as fully grown Scions once the Forge reforms them, just as in the Single player mission Transformation.
Boy the humans sure waste a lot of semen.

...OK, if you say so...

If all Scion women look like Shabby...  well...  there'd be a population explosion.   

And yes, I'd say infusion with biometal greatly extends your lifespan, but as far as proof goes don't forget that Braddock and Burns were both there at the end of the first biometal war... as evidenced by Burns being one of Braddock's test subjects.   I mean, it's not like he's a hundred years old or anything.  Braddock is old, but not so old that you're wondering why he's still alive, or attributing it to biometal...

No, the whole thing could only have taken 20 or so years, if the key players were anywhere around 20 at the time of BZ1.  Remember also that most of the time our Military forces are very young, especially the front line soldiers.  So, figure Burns a 20-ish Lieutenant in the BDogs and Braddock a young Scientist working under Arkin...  Now throw in another 20 years with the Scions left pretty much alone and you'd very probably have a whole new generation of Scions born naturally.

I think that these 'Scions thru and thru' were those that had never known Earth, and didn't consider themselves humans at all.  They weren't even so much rebels as just normal, teenage and young adults, asserting themselves for the first time much as their human counterparts were doing in college back on Earth.

Never knew there were any pictures of shabby, or is it just implied?

And I understand the logic now, just wondered if it was still possible for them to reproduce after being fused with biometal, and if the biometal would inherit into the young ones, or if they had to fuse the young ones after they were born, or whatever they did.  BZ2 seems to leave questions unanswered.

We have head shots:

Shabayev


Manson


Kossieh


Cooke


Burns


Braddock

Actually, I think there are some body shots in the BZ2 Demo.

[AHadley]

That's odd, I only ever saw the last one when I was playing. I presume they are random?

Pity there are no pictures of a Scion on there.


OT: Thanks, TJ... it's amazing what you can do with MS Publisher and five minutes

What the hell is that thing on the side of Burns' head?

The prototype for the Hearing Aid

a sweet headphone

[Feared_1]

He looks scarier than I imagined. Maybe it's the dead-looking zombie eyes and creepy hearing aid/headphone system probably intertwined into his brain through his ear.

Lovely.
