In which the Dreamer Module comes to roost and now they've got aliens.
|
|
|
|
Prophet aspect: Aliens have been at this longer, start giving advice, etc, which influences the direction of the LV society for better or worse
|
|
|
|
## Rough outline
|
|
|
|
* Locations/characters:
|
|
* Castor:
|
|
* Tycho Brahe - astronomer, in a bit of hot water for answering without consulting, chosen as delegate while handled by True Name's stanza
|
|
* Codrin Balan - clerk for meetings, historian for info coming from remote ship
|
|
* Answers Will Not Help - managing news, info coming from guest/remote ship via Why Ask Questions
|
|
* True Name - is there being a bitch
|
|
* [four aliens] - visitors/emissaries, learning about system, humans, life, etc, got their own subtle machinations going on
|
|
* Remote ship:
|
|
* Tycho Brahe - overwhelmed, gawking tourist, trying to glean as much astronomical knowledge as possible, almost uninterested in aliens qua aliens
|
|
* Codrin Balan - amanuensis/reporter
|
|
* Why Ask Questions - shaping reports back, starts considering shaping their society
|
|
* True Name - is there being a bitch
|
|
* [several aliens] - society is like [something], they are shaped like [something], they are originally from [somewhere] but they were post-biological (beyond implants) before uploading/launching
|
|
* General plot:
|
|
* Agree to fall into trajectories that aren't diverging so quickly (using attitude jets and angling solar sail, though Castor is still moving slower and has little chance to catch up/aliens don't want to slow down)
|
|
* Aliens upload into dmz to meet with Tycho, Codrin, Answers Will Not Help, and True Name. Lots of discussions.
|
|
* Tycho, Codrin, Why Ask Questions, and True Name upload into similar DMZ on the remote ship. Lots of discussions
|
|
* Begins with a lot of learning about each other
|
|
* Shifts to gentle nudges this way and that to information sent between the two ships and between DMZ and System as a whole
|
|
* Shifts from there to gentle nudges back and forth on each others' societies
|
|
* Climax??? Maybe there is a subversive faction of both humans and aliens who figures out how to break through the DMZ on each?
|
|
* Denouement: Who's upset? Who's happy? Why? What's next?
|
|
* Notes:
|
|
* [ ] Codrin not sure how ey feels about always being the amanuensis for everything big. Not tired, really, but frustrated?
|
|
* [ ] Tangents/interludes throughout about how The History and Mythos affected launch-side society, maybe also sys-side via transmissions
