[Chronicle] Uplifted

Well well well


Edit; Having read the chronicle now.

I find it interesting they went with the ME2 Collectors method of people harvesting, but it is suitably within the theme of the Sansha since the people are fully aware of what are happening to them. I thought something like this would happen (lol burning life), but heyo.

This chronicle pleases me. They are still quite willingly walking into our dropships.

Also about to check the eve forums, I'm willing to bet someone suddenly has a revelation of what happens now.

Edit 2; Oh good lord are those Sansha suits in the background with the people, I wants them :O

And I quote:

Before the victims below could understand what was happening, the nanites had already passed through the outer layer of skin, navigated the bloodstream, and attached themselves to the base of their spinal cords. When enough of the insidious little things had amassed in a single person, they begin to emit rhythmic electrical pulses ― not enough to disrupt higher brain functions, but more than enough to overpower the simple neural pathways below the neck. People screamed and shouted, struggled in vain, and cried pitifully for help, but their bodies wouldn’t respond. They walked out into the green tinted glare of wide-angle tractor beams, which lifted them off the ground by the thousands. Their bodies tumbled slowly, out of control, up into the waiting dropships.

An important reminder for Placid RPers

One day they woke me up
So I could live forever
It's such a shame the same
Will never happen to you

I don't think you quite understood what I meant by that.

They are walking into position to be tractorbeamed.

Not being carried by the Sansha Troopers.

Therefore (low-resolution) video footage would show people apparently walking un-coerced.

The body's willing but the mind says no. :P

Morwen's Law:
1) The number of capsuleer women who are bisexual is greater than the number who are lesbian.
2) Most of the former group appear lesbian due to a lack of suitable male partners to go around.
3) The lack of suitable male partners can be summed up in most cases thusly: interested, worth the air they breathe, available; pick two.

Well, I thought it was pretty clear what was happening. The parasites hijack their motor functions, even if they try to resist mentally. It goes back to what The Plague Years said about True Slaves realizing what they are but having no way to help themselves.

Yup, still taking unwilling people as slaves as far as Borza is concerned. Even if he doesn't have that specific info IC there are anti-amarr/slavery zealots known to him who had been taken, obviously not something they'd choose.

I like how this sheds new light into that "liberty pill" issue we had on Solitude.

Yeah I'm just waiting for people to now suggest that civilians lock themselves in rooms and take muscle relaxants/anesthetics when they learn of an incoming Sansha attack.

Yep, Sansha = Collectors, apparently.

Imagine the mental suffering true slaves endure when faced with their loved ones as drone or during a incursion. I wonder what it would do to a mind and how they deal with remorse and other such feelings.
