well, let's say their domain was destroyed by a thor-shot.

Like I said, AFAIK toxic spirits function on the spirit level like a regular spirit.  So if their domain is destroyed they they are destroyed.

Then again, I never really read up on Toxic Spirits.

Well, I guess 'destroyed' is a relative term.

Mr. Einstine said that Matter can neither be created, or destoryed... easily...

with the example of the thorshot, all the same stuff is there, it's just crater-shaped now. you could just count that as serious a corruption as dumping toxic waste everywhere and killing all the plants...

Well, then maybe the domain is now changed.  It's no longer a prarie.. but since it's a crater maybe now it's considered mountainous?  I don't think there's a crater domain.

BTW, why are we talking about toxic spirits in a thread about new tech?

well, we were talking about flying mountain castles and fortresses a little bit ago.

the spirit talk came about when we discussed the repercussions of lifting ayers rock out of it's happy spot on the face of the earth, and possible reasons for not blowing it up.

how about this, we start talking about solar-powered or fusion reactor based flying fortresses instead. I think i'm going to make one for my next big run.

Again, you have the same problem: it's too big and too obvious. Anyone using a helicarrier would be Target #1 for anyone who wanted to take a shot at whoever had the thing.

well, what if it was based off of the 'atlantis' research, and could go under-water to hide or something...

That wouldn't work, at least not for any of the non-free spirits. If you destroy the rock, you destroy the spirits. It is ther domain, after all. It's like building an archology in the middle of a prairie. By doing so, you destroy the prairie, which destroys the spirit of the prairie.

No, it's not their Domain. It's their Prison! Pretty much all the emtities trapped within are either powerful Free Spirits of some type, or (minor) Horrors. Nothing with would be restricted by Domain, or by anything if the prison were to be destroyed.

Ok, so all of this happens between SR3 and SR4, right???? Last I heard, wasn't it Ares who was tryingto build a launch facility on Ayars Rock and the spirits were just giving them a ton of drek for it???

Ah. Well Fortune seemed to be in "Shadowrun Cannon" mode and it made me wonder how we got to thsi point in the conversation. Personally, I'm wondering how many more AI's are going to pop up in SR4. And is Deus going to end up like Braniac where it can regenerate from 1 line of code and keep coming back over and over again?

*shrug* or perhaps he'll get corrupted in his regeneration and be diffrent when he shows up? or perhaps the next system crash is what finally gets rid of him?

I'm betting on his being wiped out in the Crash 2.0 with a few of the "network" stillhanging around to create a bit of narative tension.
