ReindeerFlotilla:
Actually swarms of Nano probably don't get bombed down for the same reason the night walker swarm swarms at night.
UV. Same reason most contemporary nanomachines (Virus) don't do too well when exposed to direct sunlight.
A nanomachine bomb would certainly work, but it wouldn't last long. We can assume that whatever makes is so unlikely that Ardent and Gavia would be on the surface to begin with makes orbital bombardment a no no, or at least not very effective.
Sending the nanite down with their own mobile anti-UV casing that doubles as fuel source and raw materials processing plant is probably not a bad plan. Shaping that weapons platform as a cheeky, irresponsible, but reasonably okay guy who isn't totally unlikeable once you get to know him probably isn't a bad idea either.
If Cyberdyne wanted to build the perfect Terminator, it would be a machine that didn't know it was a Terminator.
But that movie didn't do as well as hoped, so...
Is it cold in here?:
Alice has now given Gavia a reason to come up with a way to kill Alice. They're living under the same roof and Gavia has access to Alice's food.
Gavia could also do pointless retaliation. If she decides she has nothing to lose, she could incinerate a lot of the villagers out of spite before Alice could react. Alice's reaction would make it a kamikaze move on Gavia's part, of course.
ReindeerFlotilla:
I suspect it takes more power than Alice has to kill Alice.
Jeph usually thinks things through, and I'm betting "tired of life" factors into Alice's thousands of years of life on Earth. I suspect she's tried to kill herself.
And Failed. The spacetrees might have the power to do it (not without catastrophic losses), but Gavia probably isn't up to it.
dexeron:
I just realized it, and I'm not sure why it took me this long.
Ardent is voiced by Greg Cipes.
Method of Madness:
Don't be silly. Ardent is voiced by me :mrgreen:
