Alice Grove MCDLT - February 2017

<< < (7/18) > >>

retrosteve:
Even more scenarios:

- The gang appear in orbit only to find that there are hundreds of thousands of unlabelled space habitats in similar orbits, all similar looking. The Praesides at each habitat are friendly but have no idea how to find any specific one. Pate and the kids grow old and die while they wander among the maze of twisty little asteroids, all alike. Alice and Sedna get bored and nap for 100 years until this sorts itself out. Church leaves the vehicle and settles on one habitat where he imprisons or exiles the Praesides and rules unchallenged for millennia.

- The big godlike AI who caused The Blink, alerted by the nightwalker, has just teleported the gang to its own lair on the Moon for a pleasant chat to tell them about the new rules.

- That Pop was the end of the story. Jeph stopped advertising Alice Grove on QC because he's tired of it. The decreasing frequency of updates was a hint after all.

Easily the worst possible scenario.

Indeed. Argh. Signature checks out, though.

JimC:
There's a message on Twitter stating a new AG has been written, but will probably be delayed until Monday.

[Later] and its up - and so are they. Bemused as to how teleporting comes as such a surprise to Alice and Sedna.

New Comic Up

It's played for laughs but it makes sense: If the ship has been upgraded to the point where it is Clarketech, then it's kind of logical that it would be so advanced as to be able to overcome any reasonably-predictable problem for the crew.

Things I like:

* Pate's shock at seeing Earth from above and the Infinite (I hope it teaches him some perspective);
* Church just don't seem to care;
* Poor Sedna has finally realised that Alice is right: Ardent is annoying;
* Gavia has noticed that Church has nodded off; is she plotting something? After all, everyone who could be harmed by a sudden depressurisation is in a spacesuit!Also confirmed: Teleporting transportation is standard tech for the Spaceborne (not unsurprising as it's the 71st Century). So, that confirms that Ardent was teleported to the surface at the start of the story, either by a port-ship or by a more powerful 'reach out and grab' fixed teleporter system.

It's interesting that Ardent associates 'Praeses' with 'Habitat'. I wonder if the Biotech Faction's habitats really are huge space-going trees like I speculated once before?
