Article Was Re: Neverwinter Shadowruns

I am sure everybody reading this has done the Brainscan adventure, but I
thought I would give fair warning.

There are all of those fragments of Deus that were smuggled out in the
brains of the survivors, after all, Deus himself is made of fragments of
Morgana.

These could be incorporated into existing systems these "pseudo-otaku"
operate, especially if there is some contamination from the host
personalities.

As fragments are compiled together, they combine in ways other than the
original, especially if there are some fragments missing.

I am wondering if somebody was unwise enough to use Psychotrope to
reassemble the missing pieces or recover the "bad sectors" from the memories
of the victims.

The result could be ..... interesting.

There are probably hundreds of quasi-deuses out there that are trying to
merge with their missing pieces.

Even if multiple copies of Deus are assembled, they will very soon start to
differ.

What happens if they decide they all want to simultaneously take over the
world and don't want to share?

You know... They covered this in Threats 2, I believe it is.
