Rather, it is accepted that some species have an organ for perceiving electromagnetic emissions in the order of magnitude of the natural EM field generated by living things. This extra sensory organ operates as a sixth sense just the same as each of the five senses we are all familiar with.

The discovery of water on Luna, the discovery of huge underground volcanic “bubbles” which could be converted to habitats, and the development of polywell fusion reactors, all paved the way for the original small outposts to grow rapidly. Luna Colony was originally overseen directly by the United Nations, but later the Luna Council was established as an independent government.

Roleplay is all about players entertaining each other with an improvised shared story, whether that's D&D participants throwing dice, children running around a playground, or players on a MU*. How do we keep things entertaining for everybody? Imagination, of course! But imagination requires a little care and feeding to thrive, so this guide provides some suggestions for keeping imagination healthy and fun flourishing.

That doesn't include the aristocracy, who can hire their own security force. Likewise, they don't enforce their views of morality in the bars, the opium dens and the bordellos. They focus on protecting homes, businesses, and people on the streets from robbery and assault.
