My dumbest move in a long time:

Using 'Shatter' with Rama about 4 ls away. Much to my dismay, he was vaporized before I realized that he had returned to my side.

I wonder if Domina cares that I used her gift to dematerialize an innocent pilot?

Lol. Maybe it was fate....perhaps Rama secretly worshipped Oracus ;)

Interestingly enough, Rama's canonical fate (you used the same terminology XD) is supposedly to die on the way to the core. (if he joins the player)

Is it any wonder he goes silent for a while when you ask him if he'll join you? :P

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I think that's exactly what that monk said to Rama when he became a "man" (i think he was a woman before lol) and went to see him about his future :lol:

Also i like a lot the henchmen backstorys, Like when Jenna cringe when you get far away from home and pulls back or when u find Volkov's wife (Helena) shipwreck 8-)
It's better to be someone for a day, than noone for a lifetime (:

That about sums it up. Or maybe the monk just said,
"You're Screwed. That's, uh, fifty thousand credits."

Rama filled in the blanks himself.

P.S. What is the monk a monk of? Its the sisters of domina.

First post, woohoo!

Lesson learned?

Don't spam 'I' in St. Kat's near New Victoria.
Encrypting messages into optical arrays, one cube at a time...

E5DCM-I921G-7R1E3 - A beta code for some game. Might want to ask me back at it's original site for the correct one though. Better be fast, not that patient here.

I'll be observing from afar.
