NebulaFlare Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Sooooo.....I've been wondering. I have DragonSnap as an IPC who is in the process of purchasing her freedom. She is basically 'owned' by Karima and NanoTrasen. That means NT can download DragonSnap as an android for service, and Karima benefits off of DragonSnap's paycheck (used to pay for college and bills). DragonSnap's contract is timegated, and she will be a free unit around the year 2477. She possesses rights for an IPC - she receives care, and Karima is expected to provide most of it. In essence, she's still property, but it's based more on indentured servitude, than outright ownership. First Question: Is this acceptable with our lore? Next question: If say on a mutiny round, DragonSnap's contract is terminated. That can mean one of two things: She's free. No longer owned by NT or Karima, an NT employee. Or the process of purchasing her freedom is stopped, and she is re-downloaded as an android for service. Which one would that be? Lore people, debate. Link to comment
Jakers457 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Hmm D.S would technically be like Karima's ward if it works like that. So I'd think it be alright. For the contract.termination, would be tricky. NT legally can't download her into an Android seeing as she's Karimas property. So they would also need to terminate Karimas contract and bill her for damages, then take D.S as forfeit. Link to comment

DS was developed by Karima, who is employed to develop AI. I....guess it would depend if she was developed on shift time or not.. but in my personal story, Karima developed SCARLET, who was ordered to be terminated because she was defective. Soooo...I guess NT would have some kind of influence on DS's situation. Link to comment
Jakers457 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 If they funded Scarlets production then I suppose Karima would be indebted to them Link to comment
