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.
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.
What if the access codes trigger a destructive response along the lines of “Oh shit! She’s not dead! Kill her now and break her down into more nanobots to be sure!”
And being an intelligent woman with well proven survival instincts she would of course have thought of that. So why does she wish to go in person when she could suggest a volunteer with a sample bottle. Her motives are unknown and therefore suspect.
I’m pretty sure no one wants her to get there and hear her say “oops”. And what happens if the Directors are stored the the Mist – and she has access? How will they/she react?
