Re: WWYCD? Culture Shock 2 Terminus, although basically irreligious, adheres as best he can to the ideals of his home dimension's world government - which include freedom of speech and worship. He also believes in freedom of individual choice and conscience - so ultimately, he'd probably leave the cult alone. If asked, he'd just say "I don't agree with (MetaMessiah), but I'm not here to tell people what to believe." As for the martyrdom thing - he'd probably go straight to the MM and lay out his evidence, then maybe help foil the plan if the MM asks him to. Murder isn't something he condones.

Re: The Future of Small Arms Quite so. If we get a major nanotech breakthrough, that would change everything. So would usable room-temperature superconductors, major breakthroughs in bioengineering (living rifles that manufacture their own ammo, anyone?) or active gravitic control. The only reason I'm standing by mey two statements is that they are firmly based in modern physics.

Re: The Future of Small Arms I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that I don't believe directed energy weapons will EVER be as popular as slugthrowers - in atmosphere. Atmospheric scattering will be a great bugaboo for lasers, particle beams, and plasma casters for the forseeable future. If you have the energy density technology to overcome that in a hand weapon, you have the capacity to project a nuclear detonation equivalent at your targets from a vehicle - hand weapons cease to be a valid concept. I figure railgun and coilgun technology is maybe 15 years away from weaponization, at least as vehicular weapons. Electrothermal is maybe ten years after that - it would require some breakthroughs in materials technology to make a safe ECT firing chamber. Incidentally, I also don't believe in caseless ammo for a chemgun. ECT requires a case; conventional rounds are cheaper and easier to build with cases (note that the "next generation" AR by H&K, the G11, which used caseless rounds, died due to lack of interest); and you can make a lot of fancy rounds with a case that you can't without one. Caseless ammo is a solution looking for a problem.

Re: WWYCD: GRAB infilitration Terminus just wouldn't be suitable. He's too much the straight arrow, and for various reasons doesn't work that closely with Primus. Silverghost, on the other hand, would be perfect. She is a (supposedly reformed) superthief, with powers of teleportation and desolidification (as well as being a world-champion gymnast and contortionist). Primus currently has her on five-years' probation, after which she gets her record expunged - provided she's good (which is hard for a kleptomaniac with a gambling problem). It would be so easy to stage a falling out between her and Primus. The problem is - GRAB would be too much of a temptation for her. She broke with her old organizaton and turned it in to the authorities because it was hurting (and killing) people. She'd probably find the members of GRAB were Her Kind Of People - turning them in would be impossible! Suzy would find out who the Old Man is pretty quick, though - she's a great hacker and security systems expert, too. How to trap him would depend on who he is and how to get at him.
