    It was so well done that I forgot to comment on the explosion page. The seek-and-destroy suspense you build up here is tangible.

      Thanks. Some have complained about our pacing… but we are going for an epic here, and its gonna be a nice beautiful read when its done.

  • “Minor damage to a couple of my circuits” - Gah you made me wince as a tech nerd!

    • How so? Please elaborate. I always like learning more to not make non-expert mistakes later :)

      • With any kind of hardware failure on a board you’d have some negative impact, processors, wireless, power regulating capacitors & resistors, power supply, being damaged would net some kind of bad result on whatever they’re in.

        You can get around that damage with the usual techno-babble “rerouting data streams to auxiliary processors” or claim the computer is using unused system power to re-strengthen damaged systems” I’m no full on hardware expert but even with PCs in reality the processor can support the GPU (graphics card) if it’s not able enough to run certain things. Photoshop using HDD’s or SSD’s to handle large files when your RAM isn’t enough…I dunno if this is making sense.

        It’s really a nit-pick, I grew up with Star Trek and such, so it’s always something being damaged and needing to fall back on other systems or use other systems to do things they weren’t meant to.

        • No I get what you’re saying. If ANY circuits in my laptop broke then the whole computer would probably just be broken.

          We have a bit of sci-fi leeway because of how/who Jane is. She’s more like a human brain than a conventional motherboard. The brain CAN adapt to a couple of broken circuits/pathways, and has a lot of built in redundancy.
