Not even sure how anyone can prepare for this kind of nightmare technology existing. If brain mapping accurate enough to generate copies existed I would never go near such a machine, and if it could be done quickly and contactlessly I'd think very carefully about whether it'd be safe to even...

January 8, 2011 02:00 Their foe never slept, and so neither could they. While circumstances sometimes required all three of them to be in the field or be otherwise engaged away from their monitoring software, it was nerve-wracking every time never knowing what they might come back to. At least...

Now Hacking Are you enjoying this? It's embarrassing to admit that I'm not actually very good with computers. What's this? What's that? Are your eyes and ears deceiving you? Has this story flipped perspectives into first person? Are you now sharing internal narrative with one of the...

January 5, 2011 20:00 It was humbling to realise how much she relied on her power. Of course it was her power, it was a part of her, and it helped her figure things out. Except she was just a teenage girl with an incomplete high school education. She'd learned how to use her power, to direct it...

-390,000,000 Sunrise Ixen knew that a new jump had come. They had all been warned that their time in Elden Ring was nearing its end, and then between one moment and the next he had been given the Choice. He could leave and return to Abeir-Toril, and another kobold would be given his place in...

January 3, 2011 08.45 The city might now be hosting the next Eidolon or else a burgeoning S-class threat, the Empire might have had half of its cape roster thrown behind bars, but still life went on. And sadly for Taylor Hebert, that meant going back to school after having two weeks to herself...

January 1, 2011 18:00 "Come on, lets find a place where there's some hot girls, blow off some steam!" "Nah, it's gotta be karaoke, I wanna sing my heart out!" "We should be laying low, lets just get a drive-through and keep going?" Majima rolled his one good eye as he slouched in the back of...

January 1, 2011 15:00 Federal holiday or not, the PRT didn't take the day off. For all that, Emily was used to being able to take it easy around the new year, even in a city as fractious as Brockton Bay. Not today however. The revelations about Advent might not have been given much credibility...

January 1, 2011 09:15 It felt weird to be standing out here. Like some kind of cape groupie, getting up early on a school holiday to go gawk at a nondescript office building on the edge of town. No school, no Wards duties, he should have been in bed enjoying a lazy morning. Instead he was...

January 1, 2011 07:15 There was no sign of the other Undersiders when Rachel got up. Alec usually wasn't awake before noon even on days where they hadn't been out late robbing some place. Last night had been quiet with no jobs planned, but Lisa and Brian had probably stayed up because it was...

Companions Item Construction A - "Of course a helpful kouhai needs to know to make all kinds of useful items, like a potion cures status conditions and turns you into a Saberface, or an injection that boosts your luck with the opposite sex while removing your libido, or special headphones that...

December 31, 2010 23:55 Airmid clapped politely as Minami finished singing. With so many Japanese employees in Jumpco it was no wonder their New Years Eve party featured lots of karaoke, but fortunately that was probably the last song for a little bit as they were approaching the countdown. The...

For those interested, the new story Advent of the Jumper is live here.

This document serves as an overview of the individual known as Jason Scott, also known by the cape identity 'Advent', founding member of the parahuman business concern 'Jumpco' located in Brockton Bay, Massachusetts. For the remainder of this document he will be referred to using his cape alias...

December 31, 2010 14:00 Armsmaster's bike purred as it crawled through the downtown streets of Brockton Bay, the noise a carefully modulated rumble that brought to mind Harley Davidson and Easy Rider, a steady and consistent sound disconnected from the actual functioning of the bike which could...
