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

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.)

Agreed 100% on this.

You really want to go there? :)

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. :)

(Judge Dredd's mentor, Judge Morphy, told him to wear boots that were too small because "You'll be so busy cussin' those damned boots you won't have time to worry about anything else." :)

Also, I love Joker and Edie. When I realized he was sparring, I had a feeling Joker had gone at least partial conversion, but the full overhaul makes a ton of sense, considering his issues.

I wonder if she was wanted in any of the Holds for stealing sweat rolls.

Actually, that was for wiping out an entire Thalmor patrol, not stealing a sweet roll. What kind of monster do you take her for?

Well, I was listening to the Dropkick Murphys when I wrote that scene, but that's good too.

I had a great time doing Jack's where-are-they-now design. It started with the notion that, if she wasn't a supporting character in Shepard's game, she'd easily be the protagonist of her own. The other main spoke to that wheel was the thought that a Jack with some more maturity, some more connection, and some more years of stuff not going horribly wrong all the time would stand a good chance of evolving into a more contented and directed bringer of mayhem - but she'll never not be bringing mayhem to someone, because that wouldn't be Jack. :)

> How was it trying to write Mordin's dialogue? It was fantastic IMO
>by the way.

I love Mordin. On a good day his voice is the easiest of all the ME characters' for me. I occasionally find myself dashing off hasty emails to professors from the field in a very similar telegraphic style, which leads me to suspect that Mordin is basically composing all of his verbal utterances as if he had to key them in on an Android smartphone. :)

I suspect it was mainly because the band needed a bass player more than they needed a violinist.

I'm glad of that, since really, if I was going to just answer questions of that kind, what would be the point in actually writing the stories? It's a lot of work, you know. Just telling people what would've happened if I could've been arsed is a lot simpler. I could've been done with Symphony No. 5 AGES ago. :)

That said, excellent questions, and it's good to see people are thinking about this stuff.

Well, sort of; it wasn't intended to be quite as smug as a child with a secret. I mean, I do intend to reveal these things eventually, that's the whole point. It's just that there's a particular way to do it. :)
