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.
I’ll just about bet that the towers needed to have a degree sentience to do their job in the first place. As storage facilities, they wouldn’t need to develop any more – unless they have a fail-safe that deletes or downloads the population written into the fabric of the universe. Need to ponder this a bit.
The description of EDGAR is interesting as well. Unaffliated AI, though it can identify full names from the others.
