Adorable Aurora

OP, you are most certainly not alone, Embry's and Shekka's example should make it quite obvious that a lot of people here love cute stuff.
Steele's ship is most likely considered to be no better than a brothel at this point, clearly not a good environment for a minor, and officials won't approve.

She's at the safest location on that planet; a densely populated ship, and from her conversations the Raskvel treat her well enough. Bringing her to a more central planet certainly wouldn't be any safer, as she's likely to draw unwanted attention from say... Xenogen... or slavers, or any number of interested parties. She's considered the only member of her race as far as anyone knows- makes her a rather rather big catch.
And yes, she's adorable. Question: despite her picture pegging her as 16ish, the writing has me thinking 12 tops. Does she have a canon age? What age did she strike you guys as?
Inb4 Write it yourself.
But serriously, that could be a funny moment. Wouldn't be hard to write a one page encounter where a Human inspector name Hand Chrisen pops in just as you walk in and see a broken sex bot laying in the cornor and assumes you gave it to her.
Unless that ship has to go to orbit. Then she literally gets SUCKED INTO SPACE AND DIES.
Or used to. I think Ted wrote a thing where she survives that now.
She is definitely closer to twelve than sixteen.
I probably should go back just to make blowing up Tarkus a cost. Then absolutely no one would do it.

But if you make it a cost then we'll never see any member of her race ever. *sad face* Or do you planning add somewhere another one Aurora-like npc?

I implemented a fix some time back where she goes missing when she is never met or the shields are never turned on (during Anno's quest) before Tarkus explodes, so players can have either way with her fate. Initially, activating the shields had no consequences whatsoever, so after someone mentioned that, I thought it was necessary to link Aurora to it.

No, you don't need to do the dungeon before you can do Anno's quest. And I think the shield is for ensuring Aurora lives if the planet does blow up.
Well yes now the shield is for saving Aurora, but according to Jacques00, before he made that change the shields did nothing. Which makes me wonder what the original idea for them was.
I think the shields were supposed to decide whether or not Novahome survived at all in the planet-splosion, but since there may have been a logistic hole with that and no backup content supporting it, the fate of Novahome was adjusted to be able to be revisited, with minor character blurbs, and the shields button's actual function was left unaccounted for.
As for Anno's quest, it could be done before or after doing the Stellar Tether quest, but it cannot be done if the planet has already exploded (at least that's how it should be set up so far)--so you can actually do it as the bomb timer is still ticking. The explosion should have wiped out the deeper levels of Novahome--although, I guess it may make sense to preserve that level if the shields were turned on and the planet exploded, just so Steele can get to the goo armor followup if the proper option was chosen.

Ah I see, that makes sense.
Though if I recall correctly, the section Anno sent us to (Level 13) is a higher up level from the level that is currently in, what with the fact you need to grapple up to it and all. So it should be intact post explosion, the real problem is that you need to enter it from the outside. Which is damn near impossible now, unless you want to do a spacewalk.

But standing in the elevator from Deck 13, it reads:
Edit: Okay, I added another consequence for not having the shields up when Tarkus explodes in the pull request (#508). If the shields were not up when the planet exploded, access to the elevator will be disabled. Anno's Nova Update blurb is tweaked a little bit to account for that, and there will be an extra blurb for escaping the explosion while still in Deck 13 when the explosion happens (with and without the shields activated).
Which I guess means Deck 13 is below Novahome's main deck and was supposed to additionally take Steele to the dock as well, but it was never wired up for it. I think entering from the outside was purely for the mission, as post-mission, the elevator works as it should (sans going to the dock level).

I think in few of old builds it was linking ship hangar, main nova deck and deck 13. But later I think around time taxi system was added hangar floor was changed slight and elevator that was connected to it was removed. leaving us now with only main and deck 13 floors connected by it.
There's no future content for her is there, like she will remain on the Nova Home for the rest of the game right?
