It’d make things infinitely more hilarious if that were the first time it’d happened to the MC.
(‘this has never happened before, I swear!’)
At the very least, the possibility of that happening encourages creativity and innovation in the bedroom, so I can only see it as a boon!

Oh, man… I’m thinking now that the Sandworm is the MC’s junk’s equivalent to a Gremlin. Which makes
the MC’s junk Gizmo.
…which would make for a really interesting 80’s comedy-horror flick.
er, right, this game is not about removable junk. specifically. unless things have changed.
So, likely has been touched upon further upthread (but this is the first seamless-ish segue away from detachable junk that I could connect to the game) but is the MC even capable of reproduction in the human sense? …as opposed to the ‘MC picks up Technomancy and decides to use the Forge to make many android “children”’ sense, I mean. I don’t feel like they would, seeing as how the MC can’t physically age and… I’m somehow connecting that to an inability to reproduce. I guess I’m thinking if the MC can’t age in that way, how could their children?
Further… Of course, it is entirely possible that the whole ‘MC does not age (and knows, in this scenario,) LI does not’ thing could be circumvented by creating an android duplicate, ignoring questions about whether the LI would be the same person. Actually, I’m not going to ignore those…
Memory transplants were touched upon in the Forge sequence when describing the android’s brain, but would that be enough to consider someone the same? Is this like that Star Trek transporter beam question (can people who get beamed actually be considered the same person? Or are they dead? So on)
…I don’t know, would any of the human LIs (or any of the human NPCs, regardless of LI status) be up for that sort of thing?
Another thing. The game setting is based on old-timey England, yes? Is that the norm throughout the rings? Are there more cultures in this world? Will they appear in game?
(Yes, old-timey is a technical term, I assure you.)
And yet another thing, I guess… I probably shouldn’t take little snippets you post on the forum of being indicative of overall canon, but am I right in thinking that some bits of ancient human culture exist? The specific example I’m referring to is the (lovely, lovely, oh so lovely) Radjack/MC dancing scene, but the Lady Calinas also quotes Oscar Wilde. Which… In itself doesn’t indicate anything regarding canon, given that she might not even know that she’s quoting Oscar Wilde. Authorial… Something or other. I guess.
