You know, with the way Tali's "Techno Union" operates, it almost feels like you chose the wrong name:

"I am Tali'Zorah nar Rayya, and YOU are on the Galactic Frequency".

No, that's the simulcast Subspace Radio channel for "Big Time Television".

So, are biotics a variant of psionics/the force/sorcery or any of the other known paranormal powers? Or are you treating them as their own thing?

It's a psionic discipline - basically telekinesis with a different user interface. Also the catchall name for what early (i.e., 23rd-century) human psions could do, albeit not without extensive cybernetic intervention. This is examined in (slightly) more detail in the annotations for Star-Crossed, IIRC.

Note that not all characters who were biotic in their Mass Effect incarnations are so in UF. (Most asari in the UF universe, for instance, are Force-sensitives, not psions, though very few follow the Jedi philosophy; they have their own traditions. The old West End Games Star Wars RPG had a name for this, but I can't remember now what it was - "alien Force adept" or some such.)

So, three things to comment on.

Jack being in Skyrim is fun and something I'd never have thought of, but it kinda works.

Joker being a full-conversion 'borg makes so goddamn much sense I kick myself for not seeing it coming.

And this? This made me laugh out loud for a minute straight.

Agreed 100% on this.

Ah. So that is where y'all have been during the last year. ;-)

No.

My remark was not meant to belittle your real-life hardships, of which I was ignorant until a few minutes ago.

I apologize if it happened to come across as such.

Sorry, I left the smiley off my reply. It was supposed to seem less annoyed and more wryly snarky. Kind of, "Seriously, dude?"

Anyway, let us say no more about it. Suffice it to say I've been a bit distracted. There's also been schoolwork, but I didn't have a handy link to throw in for that because I've been so woefully delinquent about my back-to-college blog. :)
