Alice Grove MCDT - February 2015

Method of Madness:
Responding to a few posts on page one, why are we assuming Alice uses nanotech? When Alice discovers Gavia uses it, then easily overpowers it, my thought was that she had natural superpowers beyond the capabilities of nanotechnology.

It boils down to this argument: We have only seen three people in Alice Grove who have demonstrated more-than-human abilities. Of those, two have attributed these, directly or indirectly, to nanotechnology. Whilst it's conceivable that Alice has a different source of power, for now, Occam's Razor advises that we attribute all super-human abilities to the same means unless another source is specified in the text.

Method of Madness:
You may be right. It just doesn't seem that simple.

I vote for a pool hall.

Though it seems equally likely to me the next story involve some other thing Alice has to respond to, and the complications of having the Vicissitudes with her justifying their name.

I'm sure it's been brought up before, but comparing this and this the only possible option is that this is post-apocalyptic Northampton and Penelope (and/or Pizza Girl) was the only survivor from pre-apocalyptic* Northampton.

*Seriously, autocorrect? I type pre-apocalyptic and your suggestion is pee-apocalyptic? WTF.  :psyduck:
