A third option, not to belabor the point. Is that the physics of the astral
and the physics of the physical could be disjoint. Such that what would
occur is that the astral being would be trapped under the net as one would
imagine, but the net would not behave any differently in the physical (it
would be flat) The astral body is therefore beneath the net normally but
does not hold the net above the earth. There's the difficulty of thinking
nth dimensionally in this approach but I like it.

P.S. For those of you attending Origins; there WILL BE a FASA Official
tourney. Unfortunately there was a mix-up and the blurb and time did not
make it into the pre-reg book. The tourney will begin on Thursday night and
last three nights. and I'll include the blurb intended for the Origins book
here. Hope to see you.


The Renraku Arcology has locked down. Renraku says it's for security
reasons, but if that's the case, then why has the UCAS Army set up a
perimeter? At the height of the holiday shopping season, the Arc has
closed its doors, and nobody knows why. One hundred thousand souls are
trapped within.

Is it your fault?

Origins '98 Shadowrun Tourney...you'll pay for the whole seat, but you'll
only use the edge!
