Parallax ( • • • • • Correspondence, •• Forces,
• Mind)
When you absolutely, positively must be in two or three
places at once, this prog's for you. An Elite trick of master
VAs, this multi-tasking procedure multiplies an icon,
projects it into several different locations, and allows the
spinner to separate her consciousness between them simultaneously.
The VA sets up a complex program, runs it, and
disappears from where she is standing. If everything runs
smoothly, the different icons blink into being at whatever
locations the spinner wants to visit. So long as she keeps
from being booted out of the sector(s), our Elite friend can
speak, move and act normally in all locations.
[In Netspace, this procedure mimics the
PolyappearanceEffect (
Mage, p. 191). If one of the icons gets dumped, theremaining ones disappear and the spinner winds up elsewhere
(probably back home). If one icons takes Paradox, all
of them suffer the consequences. This procedure is coincidental
if all of the icons appear within the same sector,
vulgar if they scatter into different ones. See "Parallaxing"
in SITES 2 and 4 for further details.]
