I took out the part about sentient AIs a while ago. It detracted from the opening chapter, although I hope to incorporate AIs becoming sentient spontaneously somewhere else. I thought it was cool.

Right now I'm trying to define the characteristics of flesh eaters. Something cool and violent. Can penetrate boarding suits, blow up heads, overload low-power shields, destroy inanimate objects, make people bleed profusely and/or burn flesh.

Perhaps a "blaster" with multiple settings?

Actually, I just remembered that the Balrog had a pure energy whip in LOTR. I knew I'd seen it somewhere.

Randall, your portfolio is visible.

Sol, if you move the menu to the top on the desktop, where would you put the TNBW control, the search button, and the drop-down menu? Below it? I'm not sure I'm picturing it correctly.

Thank ye, kindly. Firing bullets with one or two nanoids inside doesn't have the same story impact as a good old-fashioned head-splattering/heart-exploding blast. I could use a reservoir of nanoids that "blast" out of the gun, which then go to work at disassembling the target. Of course, that's gotta be one hell of a reservoir to use it in a prolonged firefight. It would probably "need" to be a blast, otherwise a simple nanoid-supressing bullet-proof suit would be impervious to attack. The punch from the blast weakens the boarding suit, and then the nanoids can get inside. Or, a two-part blast (basic blaster fire followed by nanoids in each shot). Meh.

Would it be possible to add Search Forum as an alternative when doing a search on the site? Currently it's only Search Writer and Search Posting.

How do I read a work posted outside of my groups? Or do I have to join the group to read its posted works? Just curious.

Any idea whether the gases in air are likely to be useful in a nanoid weapon (e.g., as one of the  building block for nanoids), or would nanoids have to be stored pre-assembled in a resevoir in the gun? I'm hoping to make the resevoir as small as possible and assemble the nanoids as the weapon fires.

How about bolts of nanoids created on the fly inside the weapon from air molecules and/or a resevoir in the weapon? The impact of the bolt causes unprotected heads/hearts to explode, and the nanoids eat what they land on (e.g., boarding suits and skin).

Thanks. Correct me if I'm wrong, but a laser can't cause a head to explode, which I need for the Joseph's Sword chapter.

Flesh eaters that fire energy-like bolts, also referred to as blasts, with cool sound, and that cause serious bleeding of bodily flesh, including heads and hearts exploding. But not you're basic burning type SW blaster. Also good at blasting apart the occasional inanimate object.

Thoughts?

Very nice. Thank you!
