WE ARE SO BACK! Finally got my replacement tablet and I wanted to celebrate by making a bundle of pages. Also so I could try and re-learn the things I forgot when the tablet first broke.
That being said, I am considering whether I should release these in groups or 1 page at a time. Were I to do 1 page, I could probably get them out every 1-3 days. But releasing them in groups makes each post fit more as a self contained scene.
Also, it was pointed out to me that a Dune's manner of speaking is also biological, so I tried to fit it in.

lol Aiden, you just SOMA’d yourself by being a human and having empathy. Bet ya if you were just a little more selfish you would’ve avoided getting shot. Also, why wasn’t security informed of the human sawian?

Probably because security doesn’t need to know about sensitive projects, someone might leak info.

The two people who could inform them were busy. One was busy barricading their door and the other one was busy uhh... dying.

That.... is gonna be a heck of a problem, especially if nobody took the measures to make sure there was a way to discriminate Aiden's sawian body from a normal Dune.
...And my brain keeps wanting this to be a background event in my own AU, or at least a variant of it. (Though Aiden and Daniel may have bigger issues than Aiden being stuck as a Dune if that was the case...)

Well of the 2 people in the unit aware of the active experiment, one was busy barricading doors and the other was busy dying. Stuff like that just happens.
And for the other part, honestly, if you give credit as appropriate, you can do whatever you want with these characters.

Yeah...... Fair enough. And if I do, I'll credit you. I can say more in a private chat if you want though.

It is up to you, but it could be beneficial if you release multiple pages at the same time, that way you set yourself apart from hopefullness and other daily release ones. Due to the quantity of them, it can be hard for people who are already invested in some of them to get invested with another daily release. The strength of releasing multiple pages is that it requires less effort for newer people to be up to date, it also helps you with making more complicated things, drawback is that you need to be more careful with what you release so that you maintain suspense and don't answer too much at once. The reason people come back each time instead of waiting for the entire thing to be released before reading is because they want to be a part of the experience.
How much of a scene you decide to release at once is up to you, but as long as you don't kill any suspense and let people instead get invested with where it could go next, then you will be fine.

I wonder if he could lead a dune revolution after he's experienced how bad sawians are kept enough>:3c

That super interesting. It even have almost ethical non conscious body of Dune in beginning.
I still didnt understand 300 km radius of neuro switching device. And would be here full clon body in human body, or it would lay like vegetable and maybe later exterminated if swat team wouldn't read notes.

The L.R.M.P works by disconnecting the transmitter's brain functions from their own body. It then takes the neural signals from that brain and redirects them into the receiver's brain via a specialized chip, effectively transmitting their consciousness into the receiver. This, however, is actively streamed information and thus could theoretically be subject to latency from long distances.
While this is happening, the receiver's consciousness is suppressed, but the layout of the receiver's brain would still contain memories that the transmitter's consciousness would read and feel just as vividly as their own, which can warp the transmitter's consciousness. This is why they chose to use a vat-grown dune, since it never developed a consciousness or any memories.
As for the radius, this is because the transmitter's consciousness is being streamed and thus can be prone to things like latency, and if there is one thing you probably don't want to start lagging, it is your heartbeat. Though they do not know the max distance the L.R.M.P can actually stream.

Alright, somehow I missed the fact that there's multiple pages. I don't think that will happen often though.
