Ok. So, Nano is happening this year. I have everything pretty much everything built. I just have a few fine points to go over.

1). I don't have a good picture of what a Delshas arcology looks like in my head. They use them as centers of operation, but I don't know much more than that.
2.) What is the Delshas temperament? Are they a blunt force negotiating race or are they a menacing cultured? Thinking Worf vs Shere Khan for this one. Background on that: I've changed their venom glands completely. Now, it's a blinding toxin that they spit; their lips and mouths are pale white. IF you can get the sprayed person to a hospital immediately and get their eyes flushed out, they'll have to wear sunglasses for the rest of their lives. If not...well, they'll be scheduling you for braille lessons.

And now I have to do a little background. So, they're recruiting special needs for Commonwealth Domestic Intelligence. During the training camp, a group of special needs young adults and their handler turn a wrong corner and run into a gang fight. They suppress the fight and take prisoners for interrogation, but in the process the handler's communicator gets damaged. It's still broadcasting an encrypted 'all clear' signal, and she can't switch it to distress mode. So, they have to lug the prisoners across town to get to a safe house. I have every scene built up to that one, but after that I have no idea. What would they reasonably run into?

Wow, this sounds cool. :shock: Have you posted anything else about this particular story/world elsewhere on the forum, for context, or is this what we've got for background?

Arcologies as a concept were invented by a man named Paolo Soleri.
Here is a Google Image Search for “Paolo Soleri Arcology” to give you lots of inspiring images from the inventor of the concept ...

If you want to search for a book on his work at a library, he published “Arcology: Cities in the Image of Man”. If you want to see pictures of a real Arcology, he started building “Arcosanti” in the desert somewhere.

Yes, most of my posts are on this one universe. I changed them to a commonwealth, and changed the poison vector.
