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.

Ruins, Rubble…and A Handful of Dust, Part 17

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. )

    It always comes back to the towers. There are multiple plot lines to this story, but the tale keeps revolving around the towers.

    Two-factor authentication: something you have, and something you know. You have to have both to get access to whatever is being secured.

    So the Tower marker is the “something you have”, unique to each person. And the Towers were the authentication system for access to the Utility Fog (whatever that is). And they gave the authentication system some teeth so it could protect itself. And Nin-Banda … was she this world’s Charles Forbin?

    Nah … that story is too different from this. But the comparison is compelling.

        Yet, completely different from Gage’s re-writing of reality.

    Utility Fog isn’t the stuff Dreams are made of.

    It’s the stuff Nightmares are made of. Within the Fog someone would have Reality Warper powers. Or have someone else’s reality forced upon them. *shivers*

      Hmmm. Amarenzu told of (for all practical purposes) wandering around in other peoples’ imaginations, after they were all Uploaded (#2918, 2014-11-18). Not fun, if the other person was stronger or more skillful at shaping the world they were in, and had other desires than one’s own.

    Could this be the Mist? [sigh]

    As if our intrepid heroes didn’t have enough to worry about. I’m guessing they’ll all understand what socks feel like in a dryer before all is said and done.

    Just speculating … I wonder if Kobalt can be turned on and off by the Towers?

    I think she may be talking about the original form/purpose for Kobalt. Enki, on 4/7/2007 speaks of ‘sub-quantum relays’ as a later addition (guessing: possibly at the urging of Tobalkin?)

      Knuut, thank you for the link to Enki’s and Jennifer’s conversation. I went back and read it, and it sheds so much light on what’s going on now!
