Yeah, ship it. And work like Hell to figure out how to FIX it before it comes back from the customer…yeah, I’ve worked in the Valley, doing one-offs of the most advanced etc etc in the world, and you can RULE your market if you send me
your budget for the year….(Just be BEST, y’all….)
Everyone bow in supplication to the one thousand three hundred and thirty seven hacker who’s so good, they don’t need to go through Monster.com or whatever! No, they find their corporate clients by googling vaguely-related phrases and posting comments for free in webcomics comments sections.
Only a hip young silicon valley programmer would be so jacked in to the Matrix that they have no idea what ‘shipping’ means in a fandom context. Sweet Uncle Leslie is totally not a bot, troll, or spammer, but is clearly the heroic programmer our startup ventures need to build login pages or android apps or “live services” or whatever the buzzword du jour is today.
They don’t even need a VR helmet. Nick’s brain still has that DARPA-grade cybernetics stuck in it. Get him near a wifi signal, he might just figure out how to connect to the net without an Osprey body.
You’re assuming he still has the cybernetics. Virginia removed his overrides, so it’s never been made clear how much hardware she had to remove to do so, or how much she was able to leave attached.
And if Dave were here, he could undoubtedly set Nick up. Oh, wait… we have Virginia, who specializes in this sort of thing. And this would be a good excuse to get her and Nick alone together.
Something something male-to-female adapter something something daisy-chain something something stripping the shielding can actually degrade the signal something something gold core something something trade-off between flexibility and torrent speed.
I’m assuming by “caret brackets”, you mean less-than and greater-than characters. WordPress assumes that anything between those characters is HTML code, and is either executed or discarded (if it’s not an allowed HTML tag).
Below is a line testing one method of displaying those characters.
Yup. A low-level POS, hardly worth a hominid’s attention ever.
He used to represent the lowest standard of behavior Nick could aspire to. You know, where he hung out whenever he could.
There is still time for character growth, but not for backsliding. They’re setting you up, Baron. They’re going to spike your licensed merchandise. You need a new job tomorrow or next month you’ll be trying to book a speaking tour with James Damore.
Baron M’s plug-jab really gets Nick to show off his blue eyes to great effect. And with his blond hair thrown into the mix, he’s looking less and less like the Jewish stereotype we debated a few weeks ago.
Nick didn’t sea that naval attack coming.
Well, no one expects to be attacked in port.
I bet Baron Mistycorn was made in Japan! Plus he’s not all that bright. At least it wasn’t a *flying* Japanese Zero naval attack in port.
Hm, does this mean war?
A friend could have lint him some additional resources from his or her own navel forces
A three-pronged attack, too.
Meh. I’d still ship it.
Yeah, ship it. And work like Hell to figure out how to FIX it before it comes back from the customer…yeah, I’ve worked in the Valley, doing one-offs of the most advanced etc etc in the world, and you can RULE your market if you send me

They just need a vr helmet, their mobile base probably has one.
And if not, Dr. Lee or Jones could undoubtedly build one. Of course, there might be a password…

Dave only needed a wire in his nose…
And if Dave were here, he could undoubtedly set Nick up. Oh, wait… we have Virginia, who specializes in this sort of thing. And this would be a good excuse to get her and Nick alone together.
Dave was Mad. They can bend the laws of reality.
So is Ginny, only she hasn’t realized it yet.
I’ll have to remember that last line, as I often identify.
Nick has reverse Adam Jensen going on. “i didn’t ask for this”

Wow. I have never seen something 40% dirty before. You non-specific canid, you.
sassy rejoinder
(Note: previous reply was this in caret brackets. Somebody needs to fix this before Little Bobby Tables comes along and posts a comment!)

If it worked, I’ll explain what I did.
Bugger. It didn’t work. There may be other methods, but I haven’t discovered them yet.
Yeah, sounds like a Bobby Tables situation waiting to happen. I, for one, welcome our new maliciously-named overlord.
Man, the Baron is giving Karma the (metaphorical) finger like he thinks he’s Mell or something.
He’s just pissed because he knows Nick is right about Aimee.
You know, I’m liking the Baron less and less.
No kidding. Denying access to friends, being controlling–that’s classic abusive behavior. Serious red flags here, so far.
I never liked the Baron. He’s a twee asshat.
Yup. A low-level POS, hardly worth a hominid’s attention ever.
He used to represent the lowest standard of behavior Nick could aspire to. You know, where he hung out whenever he could.
Also, you know… the whole running-a-bloodsports-ring-for-desperate-refugees thing.

I’d suggest the drone interface helmets, but I would’ve thought they got left behind on Nick’s now-abandoned helicopter body.
Either that, or they’re back at SH headquarters.
But the Baron forgot to do the standard USB insertion kata. Try to insert, fail, turn plug over, fail. turn plug over again, success.
Standard procedure must be aborted when there’s a known risk the device may try to turn YOU over after the first insertion attempt.

Hey! Nick has blue eyes!
