Quest "Question" goes as follows:

"I am seeking the source of the abilities that Prophet possesses. I want to
know if there are areas that can be used to keep him 'under control' that we
can find. I want to know if there is a Virus or Safeguard that can
implemented against his cyberdeck."

You are right, I didn't have this published to anyone. I believe in
understanding the limits before they are limits.

Old One/Shiv would prefer to find some "toy" that can be taken away from
Prophet in order to keep a certain degree of control and/or balance. the Dark
Stranger actually gave him the idea with the "reliance upon tech" commentary.

Of course Prophet has a heavy reliance upon tech. HE'S MUNDANE! Well, okay,
he's Otaku, which in our games is still mundane with a really versatile mind.

I always find it interesting when people use what is there to be used, and
then get all upset because they didn't think of it/or use it first, and when
they did think of it/use it, they used it to it's immediate game destroying
ends instead of remembering what the end effect can be.

-I- as a player do NOT think things are being destroyed, for anyone. And,
from the ways that FASA goes now and again, a bit of a "twist" happens all the
time.
