Alice Grove MCDT - November 2014
Schmorgluck:
Am I the only one to whom the deed mentioned in panel 4 is the most impressive of the lot? Sounds like Granny Weatherwax level of headology witchcraft, to me.
BenRG:
That little boy worried me. His mum seemed terrified of Alice. Rumour can go a long way but Alice's dismissive reaction was disturbingly detached from a normal person's reaction to a frightened child.
MooskiNet:
Possibility (largely arrived at in the last thirty seconds while staring into space and trying to decide where to eat lunch): Alice is an AI in prison, and she's not going to be released until she can demonstrate an appropriate level of empathy with humans.
DSL:
The only thing going against the "holodeck" scenario with Alice as the protagonist/gamer/whatever is that we've already seen two scenes from the POV of people other than Alice. The farmer and Jack discovering Ardent, and Jack running to get Alice. That doesn't rule out a bubble universe, or even just an isolated community, with Alice as a visitor, of course.
Kugai:
"Any form of technology significantly advanced enough can only be explained in the terms of magic."
