Okay, I know, long post for Salem, but I'm setting up a number of potential interactions here. Mwa. Mwaha. Mwahaha.
Hey, Parker- earlier, I only had the vaguest idea of how Salem's little EM patches would work, but now that I've worked them out more in suitably ridiculous Atazin pseudoscience, there's not a good way I can justify Parker's having been entirely unaffected. I've sort of shoehorned a brief explanation of the reason I came up with into my post- let me know if you think it's too much (chances are I'll never have Salem make use of it- lots of work involved there.)
Also- this is why I try to keep Salem off his ship. It's overpowered for this bar >.<
EDIT: Marie! You busy, busy person! Call me if you need anything. Good luck with all of the madness.
