I- You flattered me.
Other means?
Yes, there are ways that you can communicate with the AI in a āphysicalā manner. There will be scenes where you can interact with their avatar within the Neural Interface. She can also "invadeā your dreams. There are other ways but weād be going into the deep end of the spoilers.

VERGIL GOT 300 COMMENT MILESTONE! SOME ONE THAT ISNāT augustus. 
True, but I got #5000 on Kingdoms soā¦
Salve, fellow Latin geek here. 
Supra Humanum should be fine, actually. Supra can be an preposition taking the accusative, so humanum is the proper form. Supra dictionary entry here
FYI, @IronRaptor, humanum would be from an adjective, so a good translation of your title would be āabove/beyond what is human,ā rather than āabove humanityā (which would be supra homines). But donāt feel like your Latin has to be super proper for something like this! - Latinās hard and a lot of games/novels that use a few words are rather approximate.
If this was reddit, I would be making a TIL post. Thank you for the insight.
Your translation makes me think of the attributes of our MC and even the ācyberā class, which is technically beyond what the baseline human being can perform. Which is basically the pursuit of those desiring transcendence.
I think that @augustus27 would like the āin authoirty overā part of the supra definition.
Itās the start of a interesting game.
I liked the way you described where we are with that log type representation, your writing style is good, the plot and storyverse looks well thought.
I think the descriptions of team members could be improved by adding some more personal touches to them like brutal guy who want to kill everyone, joker, easygoing, standoff-ish, unintentionally rude or something like that.

You have found my glaring weakness, sir! Descriptions are something that Iām having to work on. On the one hand, before I started doing creative writing, I mostly made technical docs and project proposals. So for the longest time I was a ājust the factsā kind of person.
A fear that I have while Iām writing is going overboard on descriptions and then actually doing nothing. I think that was the biggest complaint that I had with Robert Jordanās works. WoT is expansive and detailed (I love the series, for the record) but sometimes it spent pages building up a person, or a city before actually doing something with it. My brain ran the risk of checking out. So, I fight to find a balance.
The good news is, more descriptions are coming. So far, youāve only heard a vocal snippet of the team. Give me your opinion on this upcoming snippet. I was literally in the middle of writing it when your notification popped up:
On top of an apartment building, approximately a block away from me I saw a flash of orange erupt. A small humanoid form rose up and stretched her arms. Small, metallic wings deployed from her backpack as her silhouette appeared in front of the moon.
She hovered in the air and looked toward my position and Doveās voice came over my comm, āItās a lovely evening for a flight, $!{callsign}. Are you going to join me?ā
I looked her over for a moment, not that there was much to see. Her face was obscured by a closed-faced, domed combat helmet which contained her HUD and could withstand short ranged ballistic attacks. Her body was covered by a black and graycovered mesh that functioned as our combat armor. The two of us wore lighter versions of the suits that our counterparts typically wore, allowing the two of us to take to the skies with ease. What armor plates that she did wear covered her chest, stomach and groin, painted black/gray for nighttime urban missions in mind. Her black boots housed the small rockets that propelled her into the air. She wore a smart gun at her side and had a large bracer on her right arm with a small screen on it.
Hasnāt been polished yet, so admittedly it is still pretty raw.

I completely agree with you there
So for the Deus Ex shades would they be implemented into the skull of the main character and can be retracted back or will they be in that style, but can be removed like normal shades.

well The original account of Jesus maybe have some thousands of replies soā¦
You didnt already know that?
No i knew that i was just waiting for even more proof
A lot of the technology in this world is contact based. So, take the smart gun for instance, it changes forms, powers up, etc once your skin comes in contact with it and AI interfaces with the local nanites within the weapon.
As for the shades, you donāt need the shades. AI/Nanites give you your own HUD within your eyes. The shades are cosmetic. It does hide the lines around your eyes that show where you were āupgradedā. You will be given a choice of why you wear the glasses, if you do at all.
Iām getting a solid picture of Jensen when you say that. Also, speaking of nanotechnology there is one ability that would be cool to add and that is a flame punch or kick since nanites can regulate temperature. Thus you could super heat your fist to melt through metal or burn enemies with just your fist. Adding more of a creative twist to punching through steel.
āHeatā weapons have been slotted to your melee weapons and thermal grenades. While your body could produce flaming fists, you would still be damaging actual flesh that is still on your body. This would cause energy consumption to produce both fire and to heal yourself from self-inflicted damage. When I fully implement energy consumption and damage, flaming fists will be the last thing you want.

Wait you have flesh. So like a weapon such as the shish kabob from fallout three
we arenāt a cyborg or an android. we just have Nanobots inside our body.

Yes. We arenāt ācybered upā like Jensen. You need to think more JC Denton. Our teammates are the ones who sport the cybernetic prosthetics.
To an extent, yes. However your blade is not a lawnmower blade, you will be having a katana that can have a molecule thick edge combined with heat. (Broadsword or rapier will be your other options)
