Heck, I've been doing my best to keep track of Aisha's powers and kit since the start of the story, and even then I'm having problems keeping up. I'll probably need to get a document just to get things straight at this rate.
Oh yeah, I've kinda lost track too; plus there have been hints of anomalous abilities too. Like during the summit I got the impression Othala was being constantly re-surprised by the sword at her throat. Was that Lethe flickering her ability(no one else seemed to lose awareness that she was there) or was the celestial bronze channeling her ability somehow? Like what's worse than a sword you can't see coming? How about one that won't let you remember being cut by it?
I didn't get that impression at all. She was scared of it, but she didn't seem to be forgetting it.
Do it. Should help with the Stranded storyline too.
All instances of Survey aside from, what, two? are VERY limited. She did spec into centralization, heavily so.
Well, yeah. But she should still have a Survey instance. This instance may not be an unstoppable god AI like the main instances but she is still probably a near unstoppable demigod AI.
Survey normally doesn't do instances, as she prefers centralized computing on best hardware available. The small appliances like watches and suit are constantly transfer information to main computer and Survey in them is actually main Survey from the computer. In theory, if data connection between watches and main computer is severed, then there is no way for Survey to reach them.
Doesn't Joe mention the watches and his suits having simplified or stripped down instances of Survey? Granted that could just be some interpretation software for the main instance.
When I started the omake series, it was at a point where Survey didn't have any extra instances. Even right now, only two true instances of Survey exist - the one in the computer core, and the one in the main body. All other Survey "instances" are essentially just mouthpieces to the two true copies, and Survey still has problems with having parallel copies last I remember.
Those are the mouthpieces in question. Think client-type software connecting to the full server.
One funny thing is, I bet that stranded Aisha is probably capable of making AIs. It's just as canon Aisha has mentioned in her internal monologue she both has no reason to with the existence of Survey, Fleet and the Matrix. She is also scared of messing up and making a crippled AI because she made a minor error in the beginning of the creation. But here she has reason to make another AI, she would just need to find it a purpose. Already have building, information gathering and transportation. I'm thinking administrator or lab assistant.
Plus a third in shardspace, right?
I think so, yeah. Though that Survey is heavily outdated at this point I think.
And even then, only for now. With Joe and his Duplicates already able to establish telepathic communication, Tetra able to treat anything she has "connected" with as effective adjacent, and the Matrix's superimposition of The Divine Nanite, I'm sure it won't be long until Survey is able to sync up her "instances" via soul-magic bullshit and become a single mental entity that merely exists in multiple physical locations.
No, omakes are still posted here.
Describing Emma as a normal-ass basic bitch isn't a defense of her; that you would think that it is is a sign that you conflate normalcy with acceptability.
I still feel like you're overstating the rarity of that.
most definitely not as rare as they think it is, no ifs ,ands or buts about it
