ooh, an actually accidental illegal child! In cases like those, the management would just suggest an abortion, and if Jackie originally was "okay" but his lover was "no way" it could definitely lead to a mem-wiping situation for his lover. I can see it lead to Beastfolk transformation for both if he was trying to get around it and respect her wishes for keeping the child alive at the same time by suggesting the child be sent down, and then everything snowballing.

(and you're totally welcome to ask other players if they'd like to be a part of it! It doesn't have to be someone who knows already either, necessarily, just as long as they're willing to keep the extra info to their chests like the plot-role folks)

So Thorne was probably the lover and Phillip possibly the baby and we're working out the series of events that lead to this clusterfuck. It's a sad tale of how the chief memory tech and the chief mythic designer thought they could bargain to get their oops baby raised by mythics... and things went horribly awry. We'll update you in a bit?

That sounds spectacular! I can't wait to hear the details.

In her space life, Thorn(e) was Char, the chief mythic designer up until five years ago. She and Jackie had roughly parallel careers?

So far we're thinking:

-- oops baby happened seventeen years ago
-- busy couple maybe didn't realize until it was too late to get an abortion or Char/Thorn was opposed to it
-- they thought they bargained to have it go to the mythics after it was weaned using their positions within the Producers to get away with it
-- went back to their normal lives of memory tech and mythic designer
-- five years ago after a stupid fight over a ruined article of clothing, Char stays late at work and idly combs through the new actor database to see who she might have to design for in the future
-- guess who just got entered into the active actors because he got his first job
-- instead of going to the mythics they kept him to be trained as an actor
-- THIS WAS NOT WHAT THEY AGREED TO
-- Char/Thorn storms into the office for the head producer and is never heard from again
-- and Jackie finds out what happened while he's erasing her memories OOOPS
-- and then takes five years to get his shit together

Hopefully that can work?

That would work really well! The Producers are very disappointed in them both.
