*sigh*

Perhaps because I'm in the middle of this, I begin to grow rather tired of
this. I'm not asking the thread be killed, but I think we are beginning to
beat a dead horse.

BTW, Jeff, I think your reply field is overriding the list.

Since it was brought up, and since it has come to the fore a lot sooner
than I wanted, I had better lay it out on the table.

Does anyone have problem with Samantha Villiers having a magical black ops
squad responsible only to her called Black Omega? Given the current FASA
plotline, Black Omega could become a part of TK for a while.

My involvement. Yes, the Dark Stranger is in Black Omega. He's also in
the Draig Un thing. He won't be able to balance those two loyalties for
much longer; while the Draig side knows about Fuchi and the sees a use for
having a well placed corporate spy, the upcoming corporate war is going to
force tDS to have to decide which side he's on. I honestly haven't decided
what his decision is, only that the choice will be painful and cost him
(not his life, I can't do that; but it will be very painful).

As those of you that are familiar with the Draig plot, it is a background
thread that should have little direct impact on any of your characters.
It's really more of a plot device and an almost contrived way to generate
interesting role-playing situations.

I really don't foresee Black Omega popping up in daily life, disrupting
your character's lifes (unless it suits both me and the other people
involved) or changing the world. Like the Draig plot, it is really
intended more as a "spice" or "color" that livens up the background of
TK.

And no, Jeff, they don't do mime. They shoot mimes on site actually. With
extreme prejudice and Vigilant cannons and Force 10 Hellblasts.
