[Aberrant] The mysterious Sophia Rousseau contacts the fugitive Corbin (Proteus had feared she might get in touch with Slider). Their underground organization immediately begins contacting friends and acquaintances in the nova community, as well as newly erupting novas. The group's goal is to expose the hidden corruption in Project Utopia, and Corbin dubs its members "Aberrants" in an ironic usage of the anti-nova epithet.


It starts when she calls him at a public phone terminal, identifying herself only as "[s]omeone who's well aware of who you are and what you're running from." She then says, after pointing out that this isn't necessarily a secure line,

I have resources enough to keep you hidden — but I also have resources enough to back you on a more aggressive course of action, one that stands to help you correct some of your current problems.


After that, she sends a "telecom virus" to those friends and acquaintances, stating that Corbin's folder of Slider's evidence makes a strong case "that elements within Utopia seek to subjugate or regulate, possibly even systematically eliminate, novas as a whole." But they need more than a strong case; with Utopia's presence "in every aspect of normal life", they can't go to any authorities, and "to overturn public confidence in [Utopia] could lead to catastrophic panic worldwide." They don't even know for sure to what extent Utopia is compromised. "Nonetheless, we cannot remain passive against a clear and present threat", so she's inviting "[n]ovas interested in defending their rights as individuals" to meet on Sunday at the Amp Room.

Caestus Pax fires off an angry memo to William F. Reed, director of T2M Americas, ordering him to reprimand Ana Graça Texeira and Gvuthbjörg Danielsdottir for their participation in a recent Queer Nova Alliance demonstration.

A T2M agent has no business getting involved in political or social issues. You will immediately remind them that they represent Team Tomorrow and that they do not have the authority to use their T2M status to further their own agendas without getting prior approval through the proper channels.


He recommends they be sent out on widely separate assignments (Ana to hound the Medellín in Colombia, "Guggie" to handle a matter in Ontario). "You let this kind of thing continue and your agents will start thinking they have rights."


Oh, Shelby... just because you're in the closet, you want the whole queer world to stay there with you. ("A T2M agent has no business getting involved in political or social issues"? Then what the hell business does T2M have even existing?)

[Everything from here down was added in an edit June 4.]

Jesus "Matador" Morales, a Terat mascara in Mexico City, sends an encoded message to his mentor Feathered Serpent about his recent meeting with Meztiszo, of the Aberrants, to open ties between the two anti-Upie groups.


I was thinking of posting this June 30, as it seems to make more chronological sense and be less sudden, but as Ian points out below, Aberrant: Teragen has it taking place today, so there it is. (Of course, now I come to make this edit, I can't actually find the passage in A:T.)

And this one's from the Aberrant Storytellers Companion. (Okay, they didn't actually call it that, but it's the booklet that came with the ST's screen and includes material apparently cut from the corebook for space reasons.)

2006
October 11 -- Ironskin Andy Vance appears on the OpNet call-in program Novaline.


Amy from Waukegan, IL, asks Andy if he's "ever given girls a real, you know, try"; he replies that he hasn't, nor has he had any real inclination to. In fact, he's just celebrated his second anniversary with current partner Jake "The Dragon" Korelli (a DeVries elite who looks a lot like Richard "Ricky 'The Dragon' Steamboat" Blood).

That would be in 2004, then. In 2002, just in case I haven't already mentioned it*, he erupted when a couple've jocks in his Wyoming hometown decided to re-enact the death of Matthew Shepard, with him in the crucified role. He gained super-strength and the nigh-indestructibility that's the source of his name (as well as impressive social powers which come in handy for defusing bar fights).

Justin from Atlanta asks what it's like in Ibiza (which, in the Nova Age, is still a party spot in 2006 and well into the next decade). Andy replies that Ibiza Town really is the nonstop party one hears about (at least from April to September), but the rest of the island is more down-to-earth. He also allows as how there is indeed a downside (such as Justin asks about in a follow-up question), in that a lot of novas come to Ibiza to flaunt their new morphology, but declines to answer a further follow-up about "the weirdest ab—umm, nova you've ever seen in Ibiza".

* If you didn't tag a post, or label it as a memory, LJ's search function is nonexistent, and googling isn't much better.
