<Since the main thread is so slow, here's a little idea. As we know, people on Harbinger must have some passtime, or they get bored. What happens if they do is explored in another thread... Here, is a little something to keep them occupied.>
<As the tittle says, it's something close to the Star Trek's holoroom. Just less buggy. It's not necessary a room with holographic equipment, maybe just with VR glasses. But it is a "computer game".>
<As it's a simulation, anything can happen. You want cyberzombies? There will be. You want magic? Go ahead. What can't happen, is that peolpe can't die here. They can log off or switch into Ghost mode (transparent, can't interact with anything but can pass through walls). But by default, they will just respawn... Try not to do it always behind the char who fragged yours, okay?>
<You can use any of your Harbinger chars. Just one, but if the thead is active, we can add more. This can be any char, even some that's not on board yet, because the events here happen in the "middle" of the trip. And, because it's a computer game, this char can look like anyone. Or anything.>
<What's the style of the game? First Person Shooter, like, oh, Half-Life or Doom. That is, when the Points are off. When the Points are on, this turns into a kind of RPG. Defining the Point system takes lots of time, so they won't be turned on soon. Also, there is no Armour or Hit-Points, any hit is a frag. But you can dodge, or block, or parry. This rule can change for BigBads, but they are NPC's.>
<Another rule: anything posted cannot be un-posted. Unless the post is deleted or changed by the author, you must work your way around and into previous posts. So write VERY CAREFULLY and don't Mary-Sue. At least, not much.>
<And, of course, everything below is Shani-approved.>
