So the first time Nils, my Saavyhead and second character in our Apocalypse World in Space game, the first time this orphaned kid from the outer wastes rigs up the blue brain in a box and peers deep into the maelstrom (augury), he ends up psychically seizing by force this giant of a cyborg tank leader, Rubicon, and psychically pulling clean out the person within Rubicon’s augumented to hell body and trapping them in the vastness of the maelstrom. And then crushing Rubicon’s sanity into a million pieces when they tried to fight back.
I had no idea Nils was so hard. I guess he really liked Smoke and couldn’t stand seeing her used for lab testing.
So last night, Nils thought very little about using his blue box again. To cross the solar system and find a man, Jericho, who could teach him how to use a general-purpose nano fabricator. So what if it would take a month to travel the distance between them in an intersellar spaceship. So what if it could go horribly horribly wrong. So Nils reached deep and eventually found a stable, contained connection with Jericho. They chatted, mostly Jericho saying WTF are doing, exposing yourself, you reckless…
Then I used the bonefeel hold and Nils was just there.
Now Nils is working on Jericho to impress him with his mad skills and teach Nils stuff before the rest of his crew arrive in a month. He’s using Jericho’s workspace to build a subtle gravity projector in order to build a working scale model of the solar system using the real chemical composition for each orbiting body.
This game is rad!
I am just glad the little kook is over the whole dissection thing! 🙂
