[Last of the Great Mikeys]

Yay for successful Vancouver based companies!

Actually, I'm sort of shocked that Roxborough wasn't a Crash 2.0 victim, one way or another.  He's always jacked in, and he needs massive life support, all of it computer controlled.

Man should've died.  He's got the gods' own luck ...

Or the Devil's.

Which reminds me of a game I ran -- based pretty closely off the movie Freejack, not to mention (I think) a comment/scenario in some SR fiction -- of a group of martial artists who got kidnapped and dumped into one of the Aztlan bloodsport arenas.  One of them was selected to be the 'host' for a transference of Roxy's mind, so he could be free of the tank ...

... unfortunately, I a) picked the one player who was a complete idiot, and b) nobody but me had ever seen Freejack.

Honestly, what are they teaching in schools nowadays?

[The Wyrm Ouroboros]

Alex Furlong (Emilio Estevez): "So, how am I doing??"
Vacendak (Mick Jagger): *looking back at the three cars ex-race-car-driver Furlong just ran off the road, then back, ruefully*  "Not bad."

A movie rife with great quotes.  Like Princess Bride, but Shadowrunny.

He's a tough one, our Roxy.

With Alice out of the way, you'd think he'd have a clear shot at escaping now.

Then again, I'm still wondering how he managed to marry KAM. What could they have possibly got out of such a relationship?

(And now I wonder if there are any lil' RoxDrops out there. Ewww...)

I've never read this about Rox, at least don't remember reading anything like it, but it could be that psychosis/fear has kept him in his vat...the idea of having to interact in the meat world after so many years in his cell has left him with little desire to "step outside" even if through a surrogate body.

[CanRay]

Possible.  Lots of time to think about microorganisms and such.

Maybe he's trying to buy the top few floors to a casino in Vegas all to himself?

[Wakshaani]

Heck, maybe he *did* flatline and has been Ghosting ever since. It's not like anyone would know the difference. His body's on life support, he does all his work through the Matrix ...

Now I have images of Alice's final "gift" being to give Wonderland to Rox.

(I really need to read the novels that that whole mess is in.)

Roxy already tried the Freejack trick. It failed for a couple of reasons.

True, but I don't think he has Dr Doom Syndrome, where a plan nearly works but he never touches it again after it barely fails.

Then again, he's far more likely to look into the Proteus-style "Rig a Wimp" gambit these days. Not that he has any examples of this, of course, but rumors have been around for ages, so he's bound to have had someone looking into it.

You mean he isn't Squirrel Girl's B****?
