I agree...
I don't think MC will go digital though. That would probably mean losing most of the girls. I have to be honest though. Android kinda scares me now. I'm not sure how her arc will resolve. It's all very dystopian, matrix and the machines now.
By going digital, what I was thinking was the idea we had discussed here a while back about most of the humans in the main cast transferring their consciousness into custom android bodies.
One of the ideas we discussed for her plot, was creating a race of people who can traverse the vastness of space, without FTL travel. After all, even at light speed, it would take about 40 years to reach the nearest solar system. So, in order to truly explore the galaxy, we are going to need to live a
LOT longer. Even with FTL speeds, longer lifespans will be important.
Don't forgat about Maria. she is just starting to involve herself in the larger picture. She may only play a small but key part of the main plot or she may be a key character for witch we are in constant fear of what could hapen to her with her planed involvement with the powers that control the slave trade.
That is a good point, it kind of slipped my mind for a moment... Hard to say how active she will be (there has been talk of her learning to fight, though if that comes to pass, only Runey knows), but what is certain, is that whatever her part will be, it will be important.
