Maybe they have figured out a way to interact even if rarely using tech with these ancestral spirits and it made a revolution in their society. Sadly they discover that the realm of science has its own exquisite laws, and the spirits despite claiming that they assist in offering insights, cant teach the secrets that the living are yet to discover thro such vicarious means such as monitored comunication on a plantery scale, its against the rules of the universe. Specially since its so fun to see how each individual world advances their technology in such unique and exquisite ways ... interferance is certainly for the worse of all. Specially now that they attained a TL high enough for this kind of conversation to be happening. The spirits would have an endless stream of excuses whenever asked really poignant questions, but would be glad to share all that they can (or sell all that they can, for exquisite prices). Just a random thought =) |

Re: Projecting Cultures Forward
for me, i'd have them use braintapes as their ancestral spirits, and have them be very real. they might even be AI that control the infrastructure of the world, and are fully capable of rewarding and punishing.

Re: Projecting Cultures Forward
Interestingly I used PerSims for the same purpose. But it was expected to be only a ritual anyway so braintapes were unneeded.
