That means a sensible Firewall agent is going to trim the hell out of their Forks (probably down to Delta), because you can't guarantee the person you are giving it to won't get captured. MUSEs are backed up into the cortical stack along with the character's memory, so anything the stack will survive, your fork, if it's acting as a MUSE, will also survive. <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>True but they could do the same thing with your cortical stack and chances are if they can get the fork they can get the stack so extra security for in body forks is just redundant.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=163921.msg7613567#msg7613567">Quote from: CarnivalOfTheGoat on 27-01-2013, 01:41:39</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">That could be bad if someone else retrieves the stack.<br/><br/>Informorphs riding as ghostriders don't have access to a stack.<br/><br/>And anyone with any Psi probably doesn't want a fork of themselves wandering around outside their control. Plus a psi-endowed fork is going to go NUTS as an informorph in pretty short order due to the penalties asynchs receive for not being 'meat'.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Very important to note for Alpha level aysynch forks, but even on an alpha that could be pruned away.   Betas have no issue with that. As far as the original infomorph riding in a character im sure it would be more secure to ride as a muse.  The problem of someone getting the characters stack and also getting the info-morph makes me just roll my eyes and say "Well I guess I shouldn't leave my cortical stack lying around anymore, huh?". If the enemy has my cortical stack anyone in the same squad is going to be fucked hard anyway. Assuming they  didn't fall to the same thing that got me and wind up in the same place anyway, and that can often be a very big assumption.  In many cases where someone does survive revival is just a healing vat away for those that didn't.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=163921.msg7613567#msg7613567">Quote from: CarnivalOfTheGoat on 27-01-2013, 01:41:39</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Not to mention if a customs scan realizes you're running an Alpha fork as a MUSE, they make take exception. Most habs in the Inner System have pretty strict laws about the citizenship and lifespan of forks...And Alphas are verboten. </blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Again it's a 'if they know that much I'm already in trouble." I don't intend to use alpha level forks much (At least of my own character). I already know my character frequently leaves beta forks of himself around for days before absorbing them, and weeks when he doesn't plan on absorbing them at all. In some cases you have to obey laws on non alpha forks because someone might notice, but in most that I can think of no one would know if if you forked twice in a 8 hour period or if you just used one beta for 8 hours.<br/><br/>Really you bring up very valid points but none of them aren't something I'm well aware of. I just either consider it a non issue or it's something I've already accounted for.  Perhaps the other players have thought about it less and need to consider what you said.<br/><br/>
