Making Friends in Islandia
All of you have moved to Islandia, currently using work visas but already finishing your immigration applications. Another thing you share in common is that you’re Infomorphs, be that as Ghosts (whole brain emulation “mind uploads”) or Sapient Artificial Intelligences, and living on the space habitats mainframe computer systems. As you have gotten used Islandian culture you also realized the strange tribal self-segregation attitude and have therefore sought to network with other Infomorph to avoid the insane strange bias commonly held against those who do not fit into a clade/ “identity group.”
This is a scifi mystery game set in the Transhuman Space setting, within the largest space habitat known as “Islandia” which is found in L4 Earth/lunar orbit. In addition to being Infomorphs your characters will also be amateur sleuths. The core premise is that your characters are seeking to form an “identity group” among other infomorphs. The “mystery” aspect will come in the form of both this new groups interactions/conflicts with older identity groups and what your characters observe. Finally, all of your characters will be sapient/sentient computer software running on the aforementioned mainframe computers; thus meaning that all game environments will be in virtual reality, you’ll perceive the world through sensors, and that you’ll interact with the world through remote operated (called “tele-operated” in the game setting) robots (called “cybersells” in the setting).
