Alice Grove MCDT March 2015
Aziraphale:
The world is loaded,
It's lit to pop and nobody is gonna stop.
Kugai:
Well, there goes the Fried Terror Bird Franchise.
Schwungrad:
Alice was certainly aware of Ardent leaving the house.

Of course this could simply be because they were startled by the unexpected noise.

I think it's the fact that she manages to have her hair dramatically blown to the side in what should theoretically be a wind-sheltered cave.
MrNumbers:
The birds were obviously jealous.
The human could fly and they couldn't.
No justice in this world I tells ya.
Energia:
I've just joined up and read through a lot of past MCDT posts, and I haven't seen any speculation in the following direction. Now that Iain M Banks has passed away, I'm looking for a replacement for The Culture to follow. I think right-wing techno tales (which I enjoy) form a lot of current science fiction output, but I welcome exploration of dilemmas for those who have vastly greater capabilities than people who could be in their charge in a post-scarcity society. I'm seeing hints that Jeph might be working in this direction, and I applaud him if he is. The twist of the AIs in QC is the closest thing I've seen to the Culture ship AIs, and he is the only other writer I've seen who is optimistic about human AI relations. The problem is that I reckon IRL humans will be assholes to the AIs and shoot ourselves in the feet rather than presenting anything valuable to future neighbours. I'm savouring the slow roll out of his comic - but I'm glad I get a QC fix every weekday.
