Captain Gecko Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) Share your conspiracy theories, make them as wild as you want... You don't have to believe in them yourself (I don't believe in half of the ones I'm going to post, but think of these as things that some of the more or less goofy characters could believe in the Spur... It's mostly an unserious thread, but I'm really curious and would like to see what people could think of... Here are mine! I'll probably post more as I go and think about more stupid stuff to add. Moghes was not (mainly) nuked by Mogheans Reveal hidden contents Having corporations cause, or at least assist in causing massive ammount of bloodshed in civilisations that barely just made first contact is not an insolated incident in the history of the Spur, see Adhomai. It is also undisputed that the alien presence on Moghes is one of the elements that led to the war, and by extent, the nuking of Moghes. This theory assumes that the nuclear exhange wasn't just a consequence of the alien presence on Moghes, but caused by them, the first nukes perhaps launched from space to trigger the exchange. The idea being that ruining Unathite civilisation would then make them less likely to be too powerful of a nation, and most importantly, ensure that Sintas would be as dependant as possible to mega-corporations (IE, hephaestus). R E D S P A C E Reveal hidden contents The one, the only, you may know about it already, it's a popular gimmic for cults/vampires. Since it's popular, there's a lot of different versions depending of the player, I assume... So I'll just give mine. The idea is that Bluespace is not the only Pocket Dimension out there. This theory doesn't prevent a third, or even more pocket dimensions from existing, although this one mostly focus on Redspace, seeing it as a totally opposite version of Bluespace, where all rules are inverted. People tend to assume Redspace is basically space Hell, although Bluespace is already quite hostile so... (Ancient) Bluespace Civilisations Reveal hidden contents Xenoaecheological and Anomalous researches can find redundant finds and tie them to hypothetical ancient civilisations. This theory links these civilisations to the mostly theorical concept of anomalies being tied to/coming from Bluespace, to assume that these finds were made by civilisations originating from, or at least living in Bluespace. Interdimensional "gifts" Reveal hidden contents Expending of the Ancient Bluespace Civilisation theory, with the idea that anomalies are not "found", but rather "recieved", as in the people behind these finds purposefully sent them at precise areas or to precise peoples, explaining also why some areas are more anomaly-rich than others. Realspace is not the "surface" / There is no surface Reveal hidden contents It is set in the lore that there are dephts to Bluespace. Ships can go deeper and deeper in Bluespace, although tend to never return after some point. Naturally, it then sees Bluespace as being "below" Realspace. But what if Realspace isn't the dimensional top/surface, what if there is no surface at all but simply an endless expense of dimensions? This could also assume that Redspace would be located somewhere in there, here called "darkspace" (as in something so deep we know nothing of it). BLUESPACE HELL THEORY Reveal hidden contents TL:DR: Bluespace is a trouble-magnet, basically, explaining most of the gameplay and lore BS that our characters go through. This also assumes that this Bluespace-trouble-energy also sticks to people. (MAN, Bluespace really is handy for making up wacky stuff) The original Moroz Colonists were not forgotten but still left for dead Reveal hidden contents Officially, the original colonists of Moroz, who would eventually lead to the creation of the Empire of Dominia (+ Fisanduh) were abandonned on this barely-terraformed world due to the collapse of most of human society dozens upon dozens of lightyears away. The idea here is that the colonists were abandonned on purpose, for one reason or another, these ancestors to the current Dominian Empire being basically rejects from the rest of Humanity, for one reason or another. (I can totally see some Kaelkahist believing in this, and saying that these ancestors were left for dead because they knew the "truth", IE: about the Goddess and all). Psionics are tied to Bluespace Reveal hidden contents Basically assuming that Psionics has some kind of link with Bluespace, or even that Bluespace plays an integral part in the inner workings of Psionics, with things such as a the Srom literally being a pocket bit of Bluespace used to host the psionic presence of "dreaming" Skrells.

Zelmana Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 Paul Bird was right all along and THEY nuked Mars.
ImmortalRedshirt Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 MMPPD isn't actually caused by prosthetics and such, but rather by the inability to handle certain societal conditions, such as those present in hypercorporate states. Of course, the megacorps try to draw attention away from this by focusing on the cases where the victim was substantially augmented and declare that as the sole cause. Why yes, I have been playing Cyberpunk, how could you tell?
