Merry Christmas Eve!

Not to my knowledge! Have at it.

I've created a new thread the the exploration of my idea.

Maybe this makes sense.

Active biometal -- part of the collective concious/unoncious and can influence things/send messages/information to things (other bio-metal).
* Furies
* 3rd Faction/New Race.

Inactive biometal -- can receive input from active bio-metal but can't return bio-metal signals.
* Scions.
* (Scion ships?)

Dead bio-metal -- alive in a similar sense to how virusus are "alive" -- can fix/repair itself but can't receive input from the collective.  
* Humans ships.
* Cthonian ships.
* (Scion ships?)

Yeah, it's pretty cool to have a little notes program like that.

Word up.

Also, I do have it on good authority (eg Facebook event invitations) that there were community snowball fights, whether or not the videotaped event was a community, spontaneous snowball fight I don't know. AFAIK there are just some other peoples' youtube videos. I assume she's telling the truth.

But yeah, I do agree, those guys were being jerks.

To be fair, the responding cops were very professional and they looked almost ashamed to be defending the oddball gun-toting one.

Could be that it wants two things. Feel free to propose more/diffs and such.

Biometal could want two things:

a) its spread
ii) war among the species of the galaxy

@Calvin
I like the split idea -- I'm not so sold though on the "having taken on a personality" bit. As I see it, the god wouldn't really need to have a personal form. Maybe there's some device that it uses to communicate with people (newly-discovered form of bio-metal?).
I'm hesitant in that that the biometal god is one person pulling the strings -- it's a sort of collective of all bio-metal that's influencing history, perhaps in making factions war on each other or perhaps other things.

I'm also not sure if you're suggesting a Wizard of Oz type deal, which I also don't really see working.

@iron maiden
I'm not suggesting a deity-made biometal, rather, a sort of collective deity that consists of bio-metal and uses the bio-metal to influence the course of history.
Also, the type of union between metal and tissue would be different than that in a Fury, more like that of the scions. How do the scions get around this problem? Maybe these guys do the same thing.

I've created this thread to explore and discuss one basic idea that I have for the story -- this thread is for exploration and discussion of the following story idea ONLY. That said, feel free to add on or qualify it. I intend for this thread to be read over by the story committee and if they like anything here, to take it from this thread, in whole or in part.

Bio-metal is a deity, and the Third Faction worships it as such. Or, perhaps they are its priests.
The Third Faction has evolved in conjunction with bio-metal -- they are not a hybrid biometal-human like the scions.

But, some link exists between the scions and the 3rd because of their shared bio-metal essence -- although the 3rd faction shares a much deeper connection with bio-metal than the scions. Thus, the scions feel a "call" from the bio-metal -- and the send out someone to answer it.

What path might a story like this take? What are some advantaves/disadvantages? Would such a world be consistent with canon?

Sorry, I don't know how to help you there.

Idea: biometal takes on the characteristics of a deity (as in the 3rd faction worships it maybe), and the biometal itself is a character in the story, with goals and objectives which the player may or may not be aware of

not sure if this goes here, but i'll put it here anyway unless someone suggests otherwise: what if the 3rd faction has some sort of connection with the biometal deeper than biology -- the scions were a fusion of biometal and humanity, what about a race that evolved ingrained with biometal?

I vote against using Time Travel as an element.
