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 Polyappearance

Effect (Mage, p. 191). If one of the icons gets dumped, the

remaining 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.]
