Due to family medical issues, Requiem is on indefinite hiatus.
An elderly family member of ours took a bad fall on Labor Day night, and we’ve been dealing with the aftermath ever since. Hopefully, things will get sorted out, but as of right now, doing a daily comic is not something my schedule can allow.
Sorry to have this happen, but as everyone knows, real life comes first….and at least we don’t have too many running storylines on the backburner.
Educational General Academic Research Unit aka “Edgar” is part of the first production line of non-limited Artificial Intelligence’s. He is currently one of the House Tindal researchers, and is Professor Gage’s second-in-command. Also one of the members of the Crystal One development team.
Kathleen Adair, Theoretical Physicist and childhood friend of Hakon BlackAxe. Best friend of Clarence Gage, and primary member of the Crystal One team.
House Tindal. Physicist, Head of the Crystal One development team and all around curious man. A late term cancer patient, Dr. Gage heads out to Bellisarius Territory to settle his own curiosity about some flaws in the eyewitness reports. He now finds himself spending the last days of his life with his reformed team of Crystal One scientists in an attempt to prevent the literal end of the world.
Eh? That stretches the bounds of credibility. 10x1x1 =10 cubic miles times six = 60 cubic miles of volume. Anything that large, hitting the planet at orbital velocities, would turn the planet into an asteroid belt. Even a one kilomter rock would be fatal to all life on the planet.
You are assuming that they all fell uncontrolled.
It could be that most of the material was brought down carefully and under control. It was only the last one that shattered as it came in. Giving you the 3 impact sites.
We still aren’t certain of the tech level of the tower builders over than “A lot higher than the current one”
Mass and velocity at impact are the keys … as is a question no one has asked (it may be irrelevant): is the material artificial? If so, who made it – and where? If it’s naturally occuring, where did it come from?
