Canon update + permissions post

thecarisboringAs of the evening of June 9th, Ro will return to Sacrosanct canon-updated to the end of the series finale, "The Hologram Man." She's also coming back with a portable holo-emitter on her wrist, designed by Dr. Marcus Edmond, the same guy who created Zeta's holo-emitter.
Essentially, she can scan a person's image with it and convincingly project that appearance around herself. It's very convincing, imitating shadows and details down to the wind seemingly blowing hair and clothes consistent with the weather. (Not sure if it can simulate tactile contact like Zeta's. I need to canon review.) It's intuitive enough that Ro figures out how to use it to imitate a terrorist henchman in a few minutes. It probably won't fool infrared scanning, et cetera, but it's a hell of an illusion. In canon, it has been able to fool a retinal scanner. Not sure if I'm actually going to allow that unless someone wants me to.
In canon, it also somehow lets her imitate the person's voice. As this has never made sense to me (Zeta can do that, but he's a robot and can imitate voices without a holo-emitter) it will not let her do that on Sacrosanct. She's going to have to do it herself, and while she's actually really good at imitating accents, it's not going to be perfect.
However, the image alone is enough for a permissions post. If you think it might come up, please comment to this post with the following:
Character name:
Can Ro scan in and imitate your character's appearance?
If so, should your character's image get accidentally deleted after she uses it, or can it remain in memory?
Here, have a textarea:
NOTE: Once your character's appearance is scanned in, anyone who gets their hands on the holo-emitter can use it. Ro will eventually figure out how to delete images from the thing, but until then I'm leaving the option open for her to accidentally delete an image if you don't want your character's image on there for long.
Images currently stored in the holo-emitter:
1) Dr. Selig (I don't think Edmonds ever deleted it)
2) Curtis (the big henchman she hit over the head)
3) Herself in a white biohazard suit

Date: 2012-06-10 06:55 pm (UTC)Can Ro scan in and imitate your character's appearance? Yep
If so, should your character's image get accidentally deleted after she uses it, or can it remain in memory? Remain!
Character name: Zhaneel
Can Ro scan in and imitate your character's appearance? No. I think we can wave it aside and say her own magic interferes with the process. :3
If so, should your character's image get accidentally deleted after she uses it, or can it remain in memory? NA
Character name: Eponine Thenardier
Can Ro scan in and imitate your character's appearance? Yes.
If so, should your character's image get accidentally deleted after she uses it, or can it remain in memory? Sure, but she's not the nicest person to imitate, lol.
The journal confused me for a second

Date: 2012-06-11 02:14 am (UTC)Can Ro scan in and imitate your character's appearance? Sure thing!
If so, should your character's image get accidentally deleted after she uses it, or can it remain in memory? Retain away!
Character name: Nightwing
Can Ro scan in and imitate your character's appearance? Nightwing, if she can find him, sure.
If so, should your character's image get accidentally deleted after she uses it, or can it remain in memory? Preferred ready for accidental deletion; but, we can touch base if we ever do anything with it!
