Schlock Mercenary/Characters: Difference between revisions

** Of course, there was [[foreshadowing]] in an [[April Fools' Day]] strip... and now we know on what project he worked. The "magical cryokit" was able to implant "weapon package" plus ''contained a coherent non-destructive backup of his brain'' - and {{spoiler|RED-REO suite is this plus writing back - thus he ''could'' have nanobots capable of reviving him after bullet in the head - "merely" Laz-2 [[Deader Than Dead|grade death]] - or even Laz-3 like Xinchub.}} It's his development, after all. Since he was able to work with AI in general, he could control where his dead body goes simply by modifying every "coffinpedo" on board (once he stops doing it, a timer or even normal use would eliminate evidence). Oh, and he have died ''after'' they tested teraport... made from a common power source, AI and "off-the-shelf nanotech"... he can be ''anywhere'' now.

*** And more possible foreshadowing when Dr. Bunnigus was mistaken for him. He isn't stupid to be recognized and caught by accident - and once body alteration is on the table, Lazkowicz can live on without much worries out of the picture - or be ''just about anyone'' in the new cast except aliens and people who had long studies in other fields (Sorlie), if highly unlikely to actually be Dr. Bunnigus. He could have been in Barsoom Circus. If he sold Xinchub and Co. to Int-Aff-Int and has their protection, he got a new identity capable of passing serious background checks, greatly expanding the possible set. For all we know, upon awakening he turned himself into an orangutan, became "agent Manis" and was hiding behind Admiral Emm's back on Morokweng, trying not to snicker, while she {{spoiler|hunted Xinchub and the witnesses}}. For example. Or he was Doc Wojtkiewicz from U.N.S. Athens...
