    I have a question: could I play a robot?

    I’m thinking of a droid designed by a species that cannot leave its home planet without extreme difficulty, but can send remotely controlled robots to carry out physical tasks that would otherwise be impossible for the controller. Perhaps they could have a mind-link sort of system where the controller lays dormant in a stasis chamber while their consciousness, or a copy of it, is sent to the droid. The droid then relays back information at a near instant pace, so the entire process is in real time, or so near it that it’s rounded to zero difference.

    Interstellar communication is by ansibles - these are a huge orbital array that require lots of power in order to reach neighboring systems, then uses conventional radio and laser comms to relay to nearby worlds in the system - which means comm delays in most cases. Because of the power required for an ansible, nobody's developed a portable one yet.

    And Nyx itself doesn't have an ansible, it's too new of a system.

    Basically I see three possibilities.

    It's an AI. It files reports periodically back to its home world - but then that would make it an ambassador, not an Academy student.

    It's a Waldo - a telepresence robot, with the operator inside a sealed environment. Ideally, the environment would either need to be kept nearby for short ranged wandering, or at base camp using a satellite relay.

    It's a Cyborg - its body is back on its homeworld being sustained (or possibly rented) and its brain has been cased and plugged into the control circuitry. As long as nothing happens to the braincase, it's fine. Most likely you have two shell suits that it can swap between. Ideally, the cyborg body should resemble the natural body as close as possible to prevent brainshock.

    I think the cyborg idea would be the closest to what I had in mind. So then, what’s the limit with how complicated the robot can be? Ultraviolet and infrared sensors, night vision, atmosphere sensors, the whole nine yards?

    I'd think it depends on how bit the censors are
    the more large stuff stuffed into one thing would make it bigger.
    something to think about
    Stark, the name given to my ancestor for a feat of bravery. It means Strength, or Strong.
    The motto give: fortiorum fortia facta (made stronger and braver)

    I say, let us all be fortiorum fortia facta.

    How’s this? The creators of the cyborgs and the cyborgs themselves.

    Exhausting day and severe storms. Whee.

    Some of the sensors mentioned are already incorporated into the helmet and the Field Omni. Ultraviolot sensors require a UV source, while IR can work with or without one.

    Reviewing. Very exhausted today.

    Ah, that’s no good. I hope you feel better tomorrow.

    I should probably expound upon the life-support system a little.

    With only two players, there's not enough there to support a landing party. Consider this cancelled.
