nomail in the relative near future. The first is the subject of immortals --
unless you can prove otherwise to me, that concept seems to be as unbalancing
as our problem is with AIs and Vampires. Secondly, we are supposed to be
working within the framework of Shadowrun, and IMHO there are no immortals in
SR.
The second topic, is Universal Brotherhood. Before I start this one, I would
like to say that I had DragonEyes speak out because he through maybe something
like visions knows that UB is bad, but let's realistically think about this
for a sec. Universal Brotherhood is powerful enough that any hard evidence if
resurfaced would do everything in it's considerable power to crush that person.
Also hard info on what they have is scarce. The only two relative known facts
about them is that Aztecnology is intolerant of them and that Tir Tairngire
has banned them from setting up shop in Tir.
(For the record, the first is mentioned in the Universal Brotherhood module,
and the second is in the Tir sourcebook).
The module also goes into possible outcomes of what happens if people do mess
with UB. It quite clearly states if people spill what they know, thier days are
extremely short. They are capable of killing a lot of good runners and mercs
without too much thought.
In short, I think the list has too many people who know full well what UB
represents. My own characters, only DragonEyes has an inkling of an idea about
the truth, and the rest are in the dark.
I think this borders on being considered this: we have a lot of new characters
that have knowledge of very tight info -- in other words, very powerful very
new characters. As such, I recommend that something be done soon about this.
I would like to remind you this isn't the first time we have had the UB crop up
and we had this problem the last time too.
