Alice Grove MCDT - June 2015

She could be using anthropomorphizing metaphors to describe machine functions. Humans do this all the time. Or the "artificial life" has a self-replication method that is closely modelled on mammal pregnancy.
ReindeerFlotilla:
I agree that the townies are likely just human. But that's a good plot twist, Dilly. You should write that story.
jwhouk:
And we just got our exposition.
The AI's went up, the rest of humanity went down.
Energia:
No, the AIs went up and humanity was kept up while the AIs went away.
So were they sent or did they leave?
I'm also totally digging the abstract war panel.
However, how dare Jeph take a vacation!? I'm going to be clicking refresh forlornly all next week!
Kugai:
So, we are on Earth, just an Earth a fair few centuries in the future - that's one point cleared up
There were AI's in this Universe, another point cleared up, but whether they were advanced versions of the AI/AnthroPC's of the QCverse is open to conjecture.
There was a War - that explains a few things.
Alice is either an immortal Human remnant of one of the two civilisations, or a highly advanced AI who is so close to Human it's virtually impossible to distinguish the difference. I'm guessing she's not entirely Human in the terms we would understand them, but neither is she an AI Construct.
The Praeses are some form of lower level AI/Advanced Semi-sentient Computer Life left behind after the true AI's left.
'The Blink' may have been AI's taking a hand in ending a war that was ruining Earth before completely seperating themselves from the two societies - the new stars might actually be the AI's who have left to live beyond the Solar System, but still close enough to be seen and to watch over the system of their birth
