In reply to Els. Ah, but then they’d be stuck giving therapy to lesbian space rocks.

I suppose strictly speaking the way this project has gone down the tubes does raise the extent to which you are a failure . . . But you’re not a failure, and you especially weren’t one three years ago.

In reply to noumena.

Yes, absolutely. The dynamic between the two main characters haa always been interesting to me – a person reunited with someone lost and finding them changed, and that lost person coming to terms with how they’ve changed, and the larger unknowable force that made it possible. It’s a great story.

Blue, was your portrayal of Al influenced by Stanislaw Lem’s Solaris? In his existential troubles at sudden reanimation under unknown motives, he reminds me quite a bit of Rheya (Harey in some translations), and his relationship with Brendan draws parallels to Rheya’s relation to Kris.

Alright y’all I’m gonna theorize- Ballerina and Dogbot are not real, some sort of mental projection from Al’s artificial brain, designed maybe as a personalized self-diagnostic, and to reintegrate him into the world when he was activated? Because think about it, whenever they show up Al is the only one there, except in the scene in the synth corridor where he chases the ballerina, but also no one else acknowledges her presence. In the forest above the frozen lake, they find him and appear out of nowhere and then disappear just as quick, no vehicle in sight. Meanwhile Sulla is searching from the air and takes longer to find him, plus doesn’t see dog and ballerina despite missing them by moments. Its totally possible that the car they drove him into town in at the beginning is self driving, being on the hover track and all. Why ballerina and dog robot specifically, I’m not sure. Could be two creations that meant a lot to him, his first prototype and his precious dancing ballerina, and thats why the diagnostic program chose their shapes.

I just got caught up after not reading for a few years and I’m glad I did.

Sulla is so not a failure and I hope she realizes that and I hope Al figures out who he is and comes to grips with his fears.

I want this little family to be ok.
