Samik:
Deep in the night.

Wildroses:
Alice said back when the Nightwalker first appeared she wondered if it had a purpose rendered moot by the passing of Millenia. The fact it reached for Gavia and/or Ardent makes me wonder if there is something about those kids or their nanos which triggered whatever it was designed for.

What confuses me most is why it cares enough to follow them but not enough to hang around or make more of an effort to grab whoever it was after the first time it saw them, when the space kids panicked and hid in the cave. Alice claims it just stopped reaching and continued walking, but I am not sure Alice can be trusted to be completely honest with the pair of them.

BenRG:
For a while, I've wondered about Alice's comment about some technology 'just not working' anymore after The Blink. What if the nanobots that make up the Night Walker were the mechanism that made this happen - Sabotage Nanos that prevented internal combustion reactions or dissolved the microscopic connections in electronic devices? They are now largely dormant but still remain on the look out by sufficiently large concentrations of prohibited sorts of technology to sabotage. Gavia and Arden are just such concentrations.

As sad as it is, this adds urgency to Alice's quest. It is quite possible that the Earth has been made fundamentally inimical to them by the architects of The Blink.

TheEvilDog:
This.....this is going to get painful, isn't it....

Method of Madness:
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
