Just before they die, they transfer their katra (soul) into another person via mind-meld. Then all you have to do is rehabilitate their body and do another mind-meld, preferably supervised by a Vulcan high priestess.
Of course, if you can't rehabilitate their body, it's not going to work. So they can die, but depending on the Vulcan it might not be so easy.

Specses don't die... by SpecstacularSC on 2012-12-28 09:02:00 UTC Reply

...They just go MIA.

Add "Survived 2012" to my list of crises I've lived through, and now my entire graduating class owes me four years of apologies.

Guys. Hay guys. Teh Specs is totally back in the saddle.

What's uuuuuuuuuuup.

(What? No, I totally spelled that title right. Totally.)

Lilies do die, though... by Lily Winterwood on 2012-12-29 07:48:00 UTC Reply

But since they're bulb flowers they do also spread really quickly and bloom in springtime. Or something.

Of which again? The Narnia fic? by Lily Winterwood on 2012-12-29 09:43:00 UTC Reply

Tell me the chapters and I'll send them over.

Yep. by SpecstacularSC on 2012-12-29 10:07:00 UTC Reply

I was pretty close to the end, last I checked. The last line I remember writing was in response to the sue having a normal day in Narnia? It's easier to read the latest MST chapter on my DA, because I pretty much rip on every single line.

Definitely chapter 3, though. I've not touched that yet, I know.

ThatOne can die... by ThatOne on 2012-12-29 07:17:00 UTC Reply

But first you have to figure out which one ThatOne is.

ThatOne is That One, of course!

Others say "Which one are you again?" very frequently. Please recall the existence of my identical twin.

Turtles, on the other hand... by SeaTurtle on 2012-12-29 01:21:00 UTC Reply

Okay. How about this: by SeaTurtle on 2012-12-29 08:32:00 UTC Reply
1. Every turtle in motion stays in motion (at a constant velocity and direction) unless another turtle acts upon it.
  
  2. Turtle-force = mass of turtle multiplied by acceleration (so long as the acceleration vector is parallel to the turtle-force vector).
  
  3. Every turtle has an equal and opposite turtle.

Only, I don't think you're a capsuleer. Or it's never been mentioned.

A computer game. by SpecstacularSC on 2012-12-30 05:05:00 UTC Reply

They had a couple books about its lore published, and your clone thing was one of the primary ideas they used.

If you're interested in learning more, I'm sure there's a wiki about it somewhere.

Do not underestimate them. But, most of all, do not underestimate him.

But definitely, mostest of all, don't underestimate them, which, if you did, would be underestimating him, so don't do it.

Desdendelle is an idea. Therefore, killing it is problematic, to say the least, if it's even possible.

Though it would be hard to destroy every single copy of the card.

I suppose, theoretically, that you COULD kill an idea, but since it has no basis in reality, to quote Garrus Vakarian: We killed it once, and all it did was piss it off.

And ideas like a Specs kind of have this bad habit of multiplying, sooooo...

You'd have to kill all seven swans... by Sevenswans on 2012-12-29 00:39:00 UTC Reply

And, you know, they bite and stuff. Also, since they're from that one fairy tale, you have to spend seven years making them nettle shirts without speaking first.

It's just not worth the effort.
