James, if you were going for “a server room for the Matrix”, you nailed it.

I recognize the references to the Khurshid, and to Nin-Banda of the Meskalamdug Family, once known as The Scientist. The implication that Nina was IN the Tower when she turned the Utility Fog on all the researchers, is interesting. But then, looking back, didn’t the Khurshid build the Towers? She might have been right at home in there.

But the third and fourth references escape me.

  The third reference is to Jazz Crane, and the fourth is to Adah The Walker.

    Ah! Jazz! . . . So, the Tower sees her as seeing them and running, screaming. They see her as inventing her own microprocessor, fabbing her own tools, making damn sure that SHE controls the machines she uses, out of fear. Of them. Of the Tower technology that people started using because it was good, and simpler than figuring things out themselves.
    
    Or am I reading too much into this?
