Cyberpunk 2766AD Discussion Thread

I like this. a little tame for the Zealot but nice.

 

slightly larger, easier to see, versions of all Ungood's pics are available here now: https://www.writingforums.org/album.php?albumid=195

and why do i get the feeling all the crap is gonna hit the fan very soon? can i at least get healed up first? i've only really been in one fight, and it was with my own darn husband's character. i don't count a sucker-punch stab to the chest as being "in a fight"

 

Hey Guys. I want to give you all a heads up just in case Raven decides to be mean to you.

I mean we all know he is not beyond having Vornn show up and put a sword into people. So I want to put this out.

Nannites are small little machines. They can only modify the existing they can not just create things from nothing. As such if they are going to reproduce themselves, build mini factories and repair woulds they need 'material' to do all this.

That material comes from you.

I noticed that F&F(Zu) and Foxee(Tolva) ate, I think Katz(Kiara) started this whole thing on a full stomach, so they should be OK. For the time being.

But CDRW(Jimmy) and Shadow Dragon(Fox) have not eaten (or puked on an assailant ), so I would like to suggest getting food in you before Raven decides that your nannites dismantled your robotic alts to fix your organic body, or something along those lines.

I think Teele(Spence) has not had any nannites put into him yet, so no worries on that part.

Just a heads up.

Before Raven gets ideas.

 

I knew that seafood surprise pizza was a good idea.

 

Relatively speaking. Bleah.

 

right... and you just posted on the discussion forum

that Raven reads...

so he can GET ideas....





Ungood, you suck.
*thwack*

 

I've been wondering why we're still using MP3's 700 odd years after today, and how on earth we're supposed to breathe outside at twelve miles up without canned air, not to mentions the other nasty side effects rapid unpressurised changes in altitude have on the body.

How's that for giving Raven ideas?

 

I first used nanites right near the start........

 

I wasn't too keen on figuring out what audio layer the human race would be at, and everyone is familiar with what an mp3 file is.

 

So, what has happened to Fox Jimmy etc?

I know what Wraith is doing, he is fine on his own now

 

I really don't have any clue where they are right now. I don't think they're in the office anymore though.

 

I think they're all in a hotel somewhere. Can't remember if it's in the slums or midlevel.

 

Too late.

You may want to read the blue.



Thats such a great reminder Ungood it really is.
Well spotted that man.

 

why did Spence get nailed? i thought he didn't actually get hurt or get nanites..

and ungood...better watch out. ya got 3 people that probly want to kill your character right now. XD

 

I would gander that there are scrubbers in the skyscrapers that establish an equalized air zone for people to breath in, which also in turn maintains that most of the heavy air and pollutants remain in the slums and do not rise to the pristine city above.

I know if that effect in water, but I have never heard of such effects in air. The only reason why plans are pressurized is allow for easy movement. Most older jets and even hit air balloons do not need to worry about pressure changes, even thermal jumpers which I think can hit 12,000 feet, do not need to worry about fast acceleration and deceleration impacts on their body. Also Free fallers, base jumpers, and people that sky dive do not show signs of effects from rapid 'pressure changes' in the air either.

How is that for saving us some troubles? :: Wink ::

 

Still, the oxygen would be thin higher we go. I've had altitude sickness to a degree before (I had a headache, fatigue, nausea, and woke up in the middle of the night gasping for air) of course it was mixed with jet lag so I am not sure how much was attributable to altitude.

Might be something to work in, though. Near the buildings it would make sense if there were environmental controls that made the air easy to breathe...but get away from a building (say along a very long suspended roadway or in a shuttle with a broken canopy) and air might be a bit thin.

And there is the fun popping in the eardrums if you go up or down rapidly...again dampeners in a turbolift might help that. Dunno.

Things to consider, though.

 

Permission to poke holes in ungood's argument?

 

I think he might've been refering to the onset of fatigue, thinning blood, and lack of oxygen that occur at high altitudes. 12 miles (where'd this number come from?) is a little more than 63,000 feet...way higher than Mt. Everest.

 

By the way, I think that the nanite idea is really cool. That'll be really fun to play around with.

 

People ride Hot Air balloons to 50,000 feet (10 miles) perhaps it takes 12 miles to do the trick?

Also, I didn't think Spence took Nannites into his system.

Also, I would guess that Fox's nannite 'factory' got shut down then?

 

Death zone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The death zone, in mountaineering, refers to altitudes above a certain point where the amount of oxygen cannot sustain human life. The point is generally tagged as between 7000 meters (22,950 feet)[1] to 8000 meters (26,250 feet).[2] Many deaths in high-altitude mountaineering have been caused by the effects of the Death zone, either directly (loss of vital functions) or indirectly (wrong decisions made under stress, physical weakening leading to accidents).....Finally, in the "death zone" at 7,000 (22,950 feet) - 8,000 meters (26,250 feet) and higher, no human body can acclimatize. An extended stay in the zone without supplementary oxygen will result in deterioration of body functions, loss of consciousness and ultimately, death.[2]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_zone

See also altitude sickness.

The general rule of thumb is to not ascend more than 300 metres (1,000 feet) per day to sleep. That is, one can climb from 3,000 (10,000 feet = 70 kPa) to 4,500 metres (15,000 feet = 58 kPa) in one day, but one should then descend back to 3,300 metres (11,000 feet = 67.5 kPa) to sleep. This process cannot safely be rushed, and this explains why climbers need to spend days (or even weeks at times) acclimatising before attempting to climb a high peak.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altitude_sickness

twelve miles is a little more than twice the maximum altitude that anyone has ever climbed, and very few people have ever managed to climb Mt. Everest without oxygen. Then there is the problem of temperature. I'm pretty sure those guys in the balloons were using canned air.

If you were to thicken the atmosphere enough to make it habitable at the top, it would increase the pressure and temperature at the bottom a lot. It would have disasterous effects on the global climate to increase the thickness of the atmosphere like that, and you would have to find a source for all that extra air.

On a side note, when looking around I found out that the record for a high altitude jump is more than 16 miles. That's pretty cool.

 

Also, oxygen is required for any flight that reaches or exceeds 12,500 feet.

Anyway, I usually chalk problems like this up to: if we've developed hovering cars and full-functioning robotic limbs, I think we've mastered our atmospheric pressure situation.

 

Modified circulatory air scrubbers (which are currently used in Subs) could be made to maintain an oxygen content at higher altitudes (We are talking about 700 years of advancements here - think super outdoor AC units) in the cityscape keeping the cycle a constant flow.

IE: Sucking the air from the bottom and bringing it to the top, which would in effect keep a bit of extra pressure in the slums which would explain the unhealthy environment down there as well as why the smog and other pollutants do not rise above it.

Might also be used to explain the lack wind velocity effects and allowance of hover cars, and the need for some 'serious' travel rigs outside the city.

I agree. If we built it that high, then we found a way to maintain it that high.

 

ROFL

 

Were reaching the very intense part of the game. then the tie ins will be put in place for the sequel.

Those who are returning will survive. However the situations are like part one you have a build up and then a cliff hanger. The nanites was Nasty. But folks this is cyberpunk get new limbs.


The end is the beginning of the end to come.
Don't fight the future be the future.
