SO. When your old friend turns out to be an AI, trapped in a corp’s Host....its only natural to break in and bust them out right? In order to do that, Aether and co. had to jump into VR as a whole crew! After expertly sneaking our way to where Azzy, Aether’s contact/friend/ ex...something, was being kept, Aether needed to recover 5 of Azzy’s memory fragments. They had been kept as insurance, so she wouldn’t leave the Host. How does one get those? You might ask. Why by sneaking through the Resonance Realms and spending nearly 50 years searching the Endless Archive! ALL WORTH IT. Meanwhile Aether’s #1 partner in crime, Ares helped his team fight off IC until he emerged from the Realms. It was a G R E A T run. AND NOW HE CAN ASK AN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE OUT!!  GREAT DAY!

Context: Life for the Good Samaritans has been chaotic...since the formation of their merry band. Meaning that Sacrifice jr. hasn’t had a ton of time to assess just what the hell happened during what is widely known as The Crater’s incident. Where she poltergeisted in fits and starts across parts of Seattle. Aether’s...kept up with the GS crew’s reputation so she asks him to show her just how bad the damage was. And it was bad. @j-popsicles

I drew of thing of @punkozarts‘ dorter Haruka. I love drawing her...even if her arms belong in an art museum haha And I can’t forget @llama-doodle‘s Good???? Inspector! Chihiro Yaotome....even more of an enigma than we thought he was... Still love em though.

A COO at Mitsuhama Computer Technologies and her 13 year old son get screwed out of their, home, SIN, and former life and find themselves in the least welcoming place in all Seattle. The Redmond Barrens...the beginning of a very difficult decade for Kitano Ai and Estrella...one day to be known as Aether.

Ahh here’s a sad one. Aether and Pandora after having narrowly escaped Sint Holo’s sea cave facility and having to leave Cole behind. Aether...isn’t too clued in to her loss at the moment but...he tries to be there for Panda. She’s just left with lots of questions and grief to match. Pandora is @j-popsicles‘ alternate character

Phew...been a looong time. Here's Aether's new look after the harrowing finale of Mirrors Within's second arc. He decided to put a bit more effort into taming his hair...and that he really liked his old pixel pants.

Some new draconic mage showed in our Shadowrun session tonight! : >c Boss fight next week?
