Developments at York

[mirrorshard]

I'm looking at a map of my old university campus, and I really can remember when all that was fields. The fields I used to walk home through are now a science park, and they're expanding the campus itself massively.

And in the process, they're doing archaeology - thoroughly, of course, since York's archaeology department is one of the best there is. They've found an extensive farming landscape, high status Roman relics, and a two thousand year old brain.

That is so incredibly cool.

That is *deeply* cool. :-)

Does it still work?

That's a good question; I suspect you'd have to transplant it into a suitable host body to find out.

This is now adventure fodder.

GURPS Steampunk, or Call of Cthulhu?

(And incidentally, spencerpine pointed me to Lady Blackbird (http://www.onesevendesign.com/) the other day, if you haven't seen it.)

GURPS Supers. Archaeologists at York unearth 2,000-year-old brain, it gets transported to $game_city for analysis, telepathically awakens, and begins sending researchers after a suitable host body...

For bonus points, you can't kill the people coming after you, since they're innocent pawns!

Oh, fun! Reminds me a little of The Brain of Morbius.
