Alice Grove MCDT - February 2015
DSL:
"I reject everything about your modern civilization! Except for the parts I like."
sitnspin:
It's entirely possible that Alice's nanotech is fully integrated into her system and that she couldn't be rid of it if she wanted.

Gavia can float. Jack saw Alice "flying" when she fell from the wind turbine, and survived.
I think Alice can use nanotech, but it's a "only in cases of dire emergency" thing.

So to use a similar analogy, Alice is the kind of person that looks for a guide when she gets stuck?
(Ardent would be the dude that buys those 20$ skins in League of Legends)

Hey! Don't judge me.. DJ Sona is cool....

I head she has some funky meta stuff, like being capable of changing songs and having your teammates listen to your beat. I know some actual DJs have looked at it if only for the novelty xD
eschaton:
Okay, the last comic made a lot of things clear to me. Mainly because Gavia referred to human history. That implies that she and Ardent are in fact human, even if they live in space, not aliens at all.
I think we're looking at a classic sort of post-singularity/post-human world here. AI has advanced so much that they're basically indistinguishable from gods to normal folks. Present day high technology is indistinguishable from magic. Humans can alter their DNA at a whim. Most humans may have downloaded into machines at this point, which might explain why the Earth seems (so far) to be empty. Alternately Alice's "grove" might just be a tucked away refuge for baseline humans.

--- Quote from: Half Empty Coffee Cup on 13 Feb 2015, 00:01 ---So Ardent's a biohacker and Gavia prefers technology indistinguishable from magic. I get the feeling that, in their society, for however many people (n) you gather, you'll find n# of philosophies regarding how they use their technology.

More like n2.

I would hypothesize that it's more nx.
