Alice Grove MCDLT - April 2016

Hell, she might not even be able to stand on her own without them.  Alice and co. might have to construct some crude leg/body braces until she builds strength.

Skewbrow:
Gotta love the artwork (yet again). Alice's face is telling. It immediately reminded me of this painting. My cultural conditioning shows, apologies. Obviously there is no shortage of examples of the Pietà theme in the history of art.

Ardent does care about his sister. Sedna and Alice are worried about larger scale things.

But I really don't see Jeph bringing us another war? Not impossible plotwise, but IMHO not his style. May be we get to see a team of extraterrestrials coming to investigate what the hell that THOOM was all about, and Alice+Sedna's account of the event will be enough to defuse the situation? It's high time we get a scene of either the Praesides or the Blinkers convening.

Or may be the Thoom was much ado about nothing? Just NW following ancient code, and whoever was supposed to get the message long gone.

Or, may be NW just really hates the Moon :-)

Were they destroyed or reappropriated?  Gavia may have supplied the materials, either in quantity of nanobots, or perhaps in a different type, which has simply enabled the NW to complete a mission after all these years.  It could even be that the completion of its mission so long after the war is over (and the NW was perhaps assumed lost) will be an embarrassment which retriggers things.

As for Gavia, I'm sure she'll manage; I don't think Jeph would dump on a character like her by leaving her useless.

I don't see another war, but I can certainly see someone trying to start one. Someone trying to reset the playing field to just before the Blink.

Stoutfellow:
Is anyone else surprised by how quickly whatever-it-was got to the Moon? The Moon is over a light-second away, and very little time seems to have elapsed between launch and impact. (By way of comparison, the New Horizons launch in 2006 left Earth at about 10 miles/second (relative to Earth), fast enough to pass the Moon's orbit in about 6.4 hours.)

I'm inclined to think it had to have been a radiation pulse, not a missile of any kind.
