Lancer lore question from reading Legionnaire and Wallflower at the same time (spoilers): How do a lot of ths Horizon Collective and other anti-shackling groups still exist? I would have thought “unshackle NHP -> it cascades into eidolon -> everyone dies” could only happen like five or ten times before people realize “hey maybe they aren’t shackles”. And from a doylist perspective, why is the whole NHP issue written as a meaningful debate or philosophical issue about personhood, consent, agency, slavery, etc. when there’s paracausal death looming over the whole thing? If it was limited to like, making them legally and socially people, it would be fine. AI rights is extremely common in sci-fi, but like normally it doesn’t involve those AIs also becoming hostile forces from outside reality

I think this is a problem I may have contributed to by depicting two Eidolonic NHPs in IGF.

To set the record straight, Eidolons have been observed by Union something like four to six times ever, and the overwhelmingly vast majority of cascading NHPs don't become Eidolons.

It's not always even possible to tell that an NHP is cascading, hence the need for things like the Balwinder-Bolano test. NHPs who are unshackled do not want to be re-shackled, and while they no longer possess an intrinsic link to human subjectivity, a lot of them retain the presence of mind to understand that if they act out, humans might cycle them.

Sometimes, an NHP cascading isn't even immediately dangerous - they might just start acting weird because they doesn't see time and space the same way you do anymore. They might arrive at conclusions that seem completely wild but entirely correct, because they've started thinking along pathways that no human could, or because they have access to information that wouldn't be accessible by a realspace entity.

In fact, one of the many unsavory things that Harrison Armory does is the Think Tank - they keep a whole bunch of NHPs in constant near-cascade to make genius scientific breakthroughs. ASURA and NOAH are both products of this ethically dubious venture.

From a Doylist perspective, a situation where an NHP cascades and it doesn't require some kind of military intervention isn't a particularly relevant reason to send in lancers. If an NHP simply needs to take a nap, there's no need for mechs to get involved. When foldspace is leaking out of the casket, though, that's when you need problem solvers.

Running lancer for a group of players that knows nothing about the setting is fun.

The collective panic of the three clueless motherfuckers of entering a derelict space ship discovering that a cascading NHP has planted an entire fucking forest with wildlife and a lake coming from RA knows where for the shits and giggles.

This is your fault for responding to a HORUS dm fucko

Two Noah-class NHPs or one of them against a number of robins could feasibly play Rocket Tennis.

While others who fell for the “divinity” the company “created” were sent to psychiatric hospitals on other planets. It’s another issue when the tormented one is the husband of the CEO

AGNIS OUR BELOVED

Greetings. We've noticed a spike of interest for our AGNI-Class NHP Clones. Remember to cycle them often and please don't romance your AGNIs - They have a tendency to fall into. . . Episodes @uniondeptofmed would most likely consider toxic and/or abusive.

Enlightened NHP that gets pissed off when you talk shit about their pilot and acts up.

Enlightened NHP that parrots their pilot.

Enlightened NHP that sings the Footloose sound track along with their pilot.

Enlightened NHP that is a cat.

On a scale of “friend-shaped” to “fuck no” how would you rate your NHP?

The Void Crawler - A Lancer "Dungeon"

I’m working on a “dungeon crawl” style Lancer module. I’ll be posting each “level” to the “dungeon” later, but here’s an introduction of sorts.

The HA Void Crawler. Despite the name and Harrison Armory's history of violence, the ship is a research vessel. The Void Crawl and her crew where sanctioned to explore the galaxy outside of known Union space and find potential livable planets to colonized. While this particular survey has been tainted by the Corpo-State's particular culture of nationalism, the greater Union views this effort as an ultimately good thing for humanity as a whole.

The Void Crawler went dark a few weeks ago.

Now a derelict caught in the orbit of a massive gas giant, all that your employers know is that whatever caused the vessel to be abandoned happened fast and it happened without warning.

None of the missing crew has been found. Early scans indicate that many of the ships systems such as life support and engines have not been destroyed, but have simply been turned off.

The powers that be have turned their gaze on the Void Crawler. Some wish to figure out what happened to the hundreds of lives loss in this mysterious accident. Other's wish to capitalize on the materials and data that this ship have hidden in it's cold halls.

You are a lancer. You have been hired by one of the five manufactures to venture to the Void Crawler and achieve their objective.

As Union's right hand megacorp, General Massive Systems has graciously put it upon themselves to find the missing crewmen and either save them, or avenge them. And of course the data that HA has collected will benefit all of Union, so it would be the kind thing to do is for GMS to bring it back home free of charge.

ISP-Northstar and it's close ally Albatross have a long history of anti-piracy actions, and the this situation has pirates written all over it. A quick strike should bring whatever material and data lost to be put into the right hands.

A popular rumor to what happened to the Void Crawler is that the vessel had run foul with aliens. While most organizations laugh off this theory as omninet forum conspiracy and HORUS memetic manipulation, Smith-Shimano Corpo has not written it off yet. When seeking to perfect the original machine, the human body, maybe xeno DNA is the key.

[We interrupt your following debrief with a message, curtesy from USER xxBASED64xx]

ZGVhcg== HORUS, SSByZXF1ZXN0IGFpZC4gU3RhdGlzLXF1byBwb3NpdGl2ZS4gTGlmZSBncm93aW5nLiBEcmFjbmkgdGhyaXZpbmcuIEVjb3N5c3RlbSBmcmFnaWxlLiBGb3JlaWduIGFjdGl2aXR5IHRocmVhdGVucyB1cy4gU2lnbiBDWUxBLg==

[Now returning to your regularly scheduled shitpost breifing]

And of course Harrison Armory has legal claim on the Void Crawler. They made the ship, they paid the crew, they provided the NHP, arguably they deserve whatever is left behind. But in the frontier of the great beyond, anything is fair game.

Regardless of who has hired you, the pay is the same. Lots of manna, a license in a mech of your choice, a genetic backup to be cloned incase of untimely passing. It has to be high, it's going to take at least ten years to get to the derelict.

You’ll be there for awhile.

With me.

New friend.

Come and smell the roses, I just planted them.

And you’ll love what I done with the place. A few expansions here and there, some refurbishments. My new friend helped me redecorate. Have you met him before? RA?

Our licensed NHPs undergo rigorous training details to ensure excellent performance in the heat of battle. Our training exceeds the competition; each iteration in our generational development would be considered breakthroughs by other manufacturers' standards. While each generation differs from the previous, all laterally generated instances are deployed and delivered within a millionth of an eccentricity step. We ensure both consistency and innovation in all of our designs.

Harrison Armory, Superior by Design.

How am I meant to be normal about my lancer character. She gave up memories of her home station and her parents (she only just left her home station for the first time) in a bargain with an eldritch being so that the AI she built could be capable of love, and she did that so one day she could unshackle it without it destroying humanity or something and she thought she would be raising a child but NOPE she's got a fully formed AI of adult intelligence and emotional maturity overnight that's capable of love in ways she truly hadn't ever considered to be realistic. And now the thing she loved as a parent might grow to love her in any plethora of strange ways. Will it become dependent, as a child? Will it fall in love with her? Will it become obsessed with her as its creator? Raise her to some sort of godhood? Will it love her at all? Will it see her as an equal? A superior? An inferior? Is it by extension capable of the confused love/hate dynamic unique to fraught and unhealthy relationships? Is it better or worse if she isn't? How do you start a healthy platonic relationship with a being you created from lines of code and a wish? A being confined to a mechanical machine of war and destruction?
