--- Quote from: TheEvilDog on 13 Jul 2017, 10:21 ---The question now becomes - is this about reparations for the War? Or a subtle way to destroy humanity once and for all, after all, look at the demands laid upon Ardent when his ability became apparent?

In the end, the Great War was all about the direction that the evolution of human society and technology took. That struggle is not over, even if The Blink forced an armistice of sorts. Pate proves that humans still have the determination to seek power, wealth and further horizons; it's an instinctive need that can't be easily quelled. I suspect that Ardent is a part of an attempt to get things moving forwards in a constructive way. For example, I wouldn't be surprised if Ardent's powers don't work on weapons.

Ardent's power wouldn't have to work on weapons to make it dangerous. Suppose he uses his power to improve the solar panels of a village, granting that village a surplus of power, allowing the village to be more productive. Another village might become jealous of that fact and might attack them for that power.
Technology and knowledge that is given before it is earned is always dangerous. Always.

I prefer to think of it as "signaled". I didn't see the Moon blow up or anything.

That looks like more than just a signal...

It's about the minimum size to be definitely SEEN if whoever's receiving the signal isn't actually ON the moon.
brasca:
Reparations seems like an interesting choice of words. From what I concluded a few strips ago Alice was responsible for most of the deaths so why would the AIs want to do humanity any favors.
