META: FTL fast transit of Fenspace

[Bob Schroeck]

I believe it was Bob who came up with this idea:

Handwavium can make an inert collection of wires and metal talk and move around of its own free will; look at all the fembots out there for proof. Imagine what it could do with - or to - a once-living body. Ritual works very well with handwavium, and zombies are (in fantasy fiction, anyway) often created by rituals. For a more technobabble justification, consider something similar to the Solanum virus from The Zombie Survival Guide. Either way, all one needs is one wack hougan with a supply of biomod guacamole, and the whole thing just gets weird...

I don't think that was me, Rob.  I know nothing about The Zombie Survival Guide.  I'm squeamish enough that I stay completely away from anything zombie.

"Zombie apocalypse" is Dystopia.

Fenspace is a No Dystopias Allowed zone.

Dyptopias: something it might be occasionally 'fun' to watch, but not something you want in a universe where you, or anyone or anything you value, have to live. Best watched from a universe or two away, maybe like a "Disaster Area" tour...

Would evil super-scientists building their own tank-cloned race of (living, alien) followers somewhere beyond the Solar System be too dystopian for Fenspace?

I was thinking something like the Mekon:

I'm wondering about Fenspace 'big bads'...

P.D. Wait, "whose magery"? Do you mean Noah acuatlly has learned some tricks form the Catalog, not only kept it hidden for security reasons, or lack of Manasphere or something????

See the first post in http://drunkardswalkforums.yuku.com/topic/8659]this thread.

(tl;dr: Noah hates the idea of being a mage, and when his Gift awoke, he got rid of most of it. If he is a mage, that is.)
