Programmer, Part 7

Ian Caladharas

Thorondor “Ian” Caladharas is the 18 year old heir to one of the first of the Merchant Houses. An intelligent, independent teenager; Ian has a tendency towards irreverence and and frustration. In all honesty, he doesn’t care what his grandfather says he is heir to, he just wants to have a normal life. Or at least as normal a one as possible. (As my skills improved I made some revamps to this characters appearance to reflect aging and such as well. The top picture is how he is currently modeled. )

    Okay, that thing is made out of Clocktower material. Now, I don’t know the molecular weight or any other information about this material other than it is highly refelective and practically frictionless. Judging from the direct overhead look, it is aerodynamic and the wingspan is proportionally correct to be able to fly if the weight of the body is extremely light. However, does it really matter? The bumblebee is not aerodynamic but he doesn’t know it and flies anyway. Also, since this computer is obviously plugged into the quantum universe, it can rewrite the laws physics as neccesary to accomplish any goal which makes that thing very, very dangerous.

      PS: The bumblebees’ wingspan is also not correct for it to be able fly.

        They’ve already worked that one out. A couple of years a research group worked out that the equations didn’t work because previous investigators used the equations for a FIXED WING CONFIGURATION. If you assume that a bee flaps its wings, it works.

          Sorry, that should be “a couple of years ago”.

      It’s probably easier to make something that obeys the normal Laws of Physics otherwise that maths gets extremely complicated and the possibility of something going wrong increases.

      It also has the properties of this stuff

    If you have access to the quantum computer – universe – what do you need a winged thingy for? It doesn’t make sense at this point. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

      I’ve been thinking of it in computer terms. What permissions does that piece of “hardware”/”software” have? There is also another clue in the name of the thing…

      The “thrones” were considered to be the “living symbols of God’s justice and authority”

        Hmmm … the quantum computer as an ai?

    Ya know, James, I can normally tell where an author is headed with his story from the first few paragraphs of his/her work, or at least, I can usually tell within the first few pages.

    You, I can’t keep up with. (What’s gonna happen, next?!!) You always keep me guessing, and you almost always surprise me…and in the end, it always makes sense.

    That’s a huge compliment, btw.

      Thank you for putting up with it actually. This is a very complicated section, and a lot of things won’t make sense until later.

    How about a long-shot guess?

    The winged thing is the professors transmitter. It’s presence is needed for him to manipulate that little bit of reality. Probably wrong, but what the hell.

    How are they going to explain the new hole, I presume that’s what the crash was, to the university authorities?

      They haven’t thought that far ahead right now.
