Well, as it's been strongly hinted that the new zone in I21 will give some answers about where all the magic is in Praetoria - plus Positron and Numina being featured in the the new Villain SF in I20, and the fiction leading up to the zone invasions this month, I think it's possible that our latest super-couple might have some more screentime in I21 - the science and magic pairing gives lots of options to tie them into the new content.

Assuming the new zone is co-op, then the previously unknown Dr. Rebecca Colston, who also appears to use a blend of science and magic, could be involved in some way with any red side content in the new zone, while Numina and/or Positron could have the same role in any new blue side content in the zone.
And as the Hamidon was also created by a mix of magic and science, I think that could be a major theme of the I21 content.

Also, Positron and Numina make for quite a charming couple, so they might still feature even if the science and magic theme isn't such a big deal in I21

Well, is it possible for Numina to become corporeal for a bit of time?

Also, seeing as how Posi was unable to get close to people before, it makes sense that he'd be willing to fall for Numina. He's been in her place.

She's not quite a ghost either, so maybe there's a way for her to get her body back (well even for ghosts there could be a way, as this is comic book logic).

Sorry, totally off topic (what was the topic of this thread again?). But long in the past I painted Roles Royces--crazy stuff with airbrushes and sparkle paint--for an eccentric millionaire.

The Roles-Royce company does keep track off all their cars as if they are their children. They even want you to get their permission if you decide to paint your Roles-Royce. I had some interesting back-and-forths with them when I told them what I was planning on painting on some of their cars. I finally had to tell them to bugger off when they were less than agreeable in their replies.

It may never be consummated in the traditional fashion, but they'd understand each other in a way that the rest of the world (save other ghosts) could.
Which would actually be a FAR more interesting take on it than this *nudge-nudge* *wink-wink* business, and a lot more profound.

And just the general description of your opus sounds far more insightful into the dramatic possibilities raised by Positron's troubles. Indeed, the issues with "closeness" posed by your protagonists sounds very, very interesting, especially by comparison.

Well, it's the least they can do since they never hired you to do videos for them!

"How do you know you are on the side of good?" a Paragon citizen asked him. "How can we even know what is 'good'?"

"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."

They've got the *wink wink nudge nudge* thing going... I'm hoping for "say no more."

I would be beyond thrilled if Sora became either an Ascended Extra or a Canon Immigrant, but it will never happen. Oh, well.
