We have allowed this to happen in the games here, we allowed to go pretty far,
but otherwise we also thought that there is not much of a market out there for
wiz-wyrm sims as even though the perceptions of the mage are there, the person
viewing the chip has no real way to perceive that what is really going on as
they might not have a basis for what they are seeing.

Hey, I'm still wondering what a sim-recording that has the Dweller-On-The-
Threshold would have in terms of information for people, and what nifty
secrets the corp would find out from a mage who is about to go on a recorded
quest of knowledge.
We have allowed a quest to be recorded, including the end result, this is
especially helpful when it comes to someone going on a quest to either a invae
or toxic citadel in the metaplanes. Hit the person with a dose or two of Laes
a few seconds after the quest is over with. The Laes removes the memories of
the quest from the mage(s) which prevents them from going insane or otherwise
schizoid. And in the meantime, the information gained from the quest is
stored on the simchip, and the mage(s) who went on the quest can review the
chip to see what they don't remember, and the remainder of the party can fill
the group in on just what the mage(s) were up to during the previous 24 hours.
