1) If a Physical Adept is assensing and has his weapon focus out, and
with resisting it? How about if he has a held action or has an action
that phase? I'm just wondering because I'm making an adept and I'm a
little fuzzy on what requires projection and what requires only
assensing.
2) Traffic Control in 2054: Let me preface this by saying I do NOT believe
this is how GridLink works in Shadorun, but I had this idea while
walking home and picture the evolution of high-speed chase procedures
over the neft 60+ years.
Premise: In the future, traffic will be so congested that some cities
may institute laws requiring all vehicles (with some exceptions) to tie in
to
a master traffic control grid. This could be accomplished via
something similar to cellular link or radio transimissions; the data
wouldn't be complex as full-fledge Matrix iconography. It's a dedicated
system that does nothing but traffic control. Anyway, this means several
things
1) High-speed chases may not happen, since they're all
controlled by the master computer.
2) Pulling people over becomes much easier. The cops
2) Pulling people over becomes much easier as the cops simply
radio in the ID number of the vehicle and Central Control
pulls them over at leisure.
I'm being vague about this concept, since I'm still mulling over its
implications and deciding what I'll do with it. Any comments or other ideas?
PS: Sorry about the screwy text; the mailer burped.
