[Filtered from Mal. SO HARD.]
Do you ever wonder if ports are just another extension of the Barge? Like the CES, only on a larger scale. If it can simulate animal life, why not human?

I really hope not.

Humans are more complex than animals to simulate that effectively anyway.

Private paradoxlol December 23 2010, 04:54:09 UTC

More complex, but not too complex. [SEE: PROJECTIONS.]

Private ourlastbesthope December 23 2010, 05:06:44 UTC

[Yeah, yeah, he gets it.]

Ports aren't just...people and backgrounds, though.

Private paradoxlol December 23 2010, 05:10:47 UTC

I'm not as experienced with ports as some of the others, but beyond killing them, ordering food from them, dancing with them, have we ever had any genuine contact with the people of the worlds we visit? A real conversation, instead of... treating them like extras in a movie.

On what, dear Arthur?

Private paradoxlol December 23 2010, 05:11:08 UTC

Your amazing escape.

Re: Private theway_i_appear December 23 2010, 05:12:47 UTC

Oh, it's certainly amazing now. And I was almost free with that lovely woman.

[SO SKEPTICAL:] Really? What were you going to do when you got to her apartment?

It feels different from the CES. I don't think the ship is capable of making its own people, besides bringing us here.

[Private] paradoxlol December 23 2010, 17:19:59 UTC

It's also capable of making us adopt different traits, histories, even appearances. Who's to say that the ship can't create people?

[Private] most_feared December 23 2010, 17:27:09 UTC

It's the dimensional overlaps that do that more than the ship. No, it's more than that... Like the beer, for example. The beer tasted imperfect out in the real world, like I'm used to.

[Private] paradoxlol December 23 2010, 17:28:53 UTC

We haven't seen any proof of any "dimensional overlaps." We've got the Admiral's word, and that's it.

Yeah, but it sure as hell doesn't taste perfect in the bar here, either.
