Lord British To Conduct Experiments On ISS
CR0WTR0B0T writes "Richard Garriott, AKA Lord British, will be part of three experiments on the International Space Station. 'Garriott has a ticket to the space station because he is an orbital spaceflight client of Space Adventures, the only company that provides commercial human space missions ... Garriott will be the first person in space who has had photorefractive keratectomy eye surgery. NASA has approved the PRK procedure for astronauts but has not yet been able to test its effects. Garriott will help scientists figure out if visual acuity of a PRK patient changes in orbit as inner eye pressure increases by up to 50% during space flights.' Mostly, NASA wants to know if he can heal himself or provide resurrection to the other astronauts in case the experiments goes awry."

Damn you for not providing more information! How can he provide resurrection in space: the d20s will float away! Will they provide slighty magnetized dice and a ferrous gameboard? Velcro-covered dice and playing field? Dice in a centrifuge?
Tell us more!

------ hi mom
Ever since that day, British has been scarred, forever trying to get as far away from Rainz as possible.
Well, I beleive he will cast a Greater Heal, chanting "In Vas Mani", poke his eye, followed by the heal sound. At that point, he will most likely turn to the rest of the people on the ISS and PK them. They are most likely dexers, so he will have to make sure to keep Reflective Armor up, and just pick his combos well. Do you think he will look for the Star Room and mark a rune so he doesn't have to screw with flying there, and just recall back next time? *shrugs* Not sure. Can you mark in the ISS?
...as long as EA doesn't assimilate NASA, shift non-NASA developers onto the ISS project, drastically increase the production cycle, overwork the astronauts and launch the shuttle way before it's ready. You can't patch in space.
If there's a gold plaque installed over any doorways in the ISS, he's DOOMED!
POR ORT WIS!
Ha! Wizard Eye!
