Oh I did quite enjoy this one.

Interesting, easy to follow, but with all sorts of sinister undertones, that the situation is far, far more then we can see, I'm sort of hoping this is part of a series, as I'd love to see where it goes from here.

A ship in harbour is safe, but that's not what ships are built for.

Yes, a follow up would be nice.  I feel that once again Abraxas simply left too much out.  I like a little subtlety, cloaked intentions/meanings, and unreliable narration now and then, but I also like to know what actually happened by the end of a story.

As for the content, I wonder if this is what happens behind the scenes on T2 BPC research.

Edit:  Are these perhaps Roden agents?  That they work for a capsuleer doesn't mean it has to be one who spends all his or her time flying about in spaceships and my imagination puts this story in Gallente space.  (The art reminds me of "Gattaca".  Must be the hats, Louella!)  Perhaps this is how Roden Shipyards and other manufacturers push the limit on capsule-interfaced ship bonuses.

Who knows, Ken. However, the meaning may be tied to already existing chrons in the past. Keep a look out if there's a matching name somewhere.

Random thoughts: Love the artwork. As usual with Abraxas (and Vieve), I really have no idea what happened, but I will enjoy piecing it together. Do they repurpose his brain as a wetware controller, or does this hint at tech we'll get in a future expansion, or does he just go to a testing lab, or...?

I get the sinking feeling they are about to put his brain in a jar...

Why "sinking"? I have been requesting to have my brain put in a jar for years.

I liked it.

I thought it was less about T2 research and had more than a bit of a tongue-in-cheek explanation of why suddenly a bunch of modules or other things change whenever CCP nerfs or buffs some piece of equipment.

I read the comments thread and laughed, these poor saved souls are the source of "hardwirings". Someone mentioned it and it just fits.

If the connection that hardwirings are made from talented individuals, this would kind of make Nikiruu's background more mundane. We all have people inside our minds!

That explains why - after getting the PG8 installed - Dex suddenly acquired a taste for Quaffe after a lifetime of drinking only Starsi and water.

It also has interesting implications for future player production of cybernetic implants...
