Ceci's Digital angel design by Vousrein of Missing dream here on Comic Fury.. She made a sketch based on how Ceci would look in her universe and i ran with it. Shes allowed me to use the design so give her props!!!
My coffee-deprived brain read "Hashmallim Protocol" as "Marshmallow Protocol". The latter of which seems to me to be a protocol name dreamed up by the CiCi we all love and miss...
One, that isn't CeCi. That is whatever CentComm over wrote CeCi with.
Two, the Artist and Wordsmith of the comic should be cursed to live in REALLY interesting times for their EVIL! (I've been calling them the EVIL duo for a reason)
Motion Seconded. All in favor signify by show of hands...The AYES have it. Motion Carried by 100% majority, sentence established. Let it be so, curse the being that tries to change the will of this Court with a like fate. Executioner Do Your Duty!

My assumption is that it is a ח and not a ה which would make the word חשמלים. (often the ח is represented by an H although the sound is more of a CH, hence the confusion.) Same basic translation, though - electricity (alhough I've not seen it in the plural like that. Meh - artistic license.) So I assume that she's going to zap something big.
EMP?
stupid english does not have the ch sound of ח ...
I was wondering why I could not get a translation from google with that - I forgot english transcribes the ח as h also... (though usually with a . underneath)...
http://www.morfix.co.il/ is a pretty good translation site. I think it often is much more accurate than Google and can compensate for alternate forms of words. There's also http://www.morfix.co.il/en/ if you need the English.
@DLKmusic: From the page title and the sword she is fashioning I would say she is about to take out the infrastructure that controls the Armaggedon Option, unless of course, Centcomm decided to have her wreck everything so she could ensure Nova Roma,and Aeneas are never a world power again, while Rose is forever removed from her path to world domination.
It doesn't look to me like a sword --- more like a crystal, which (in a cyberspace context) could be basically ANYTHING. If it does end up manifesting as an instrumentality, I'd guess a staff or spear. But I'm currently hypothesizing something communications related, which (in cyberspace) will probably end up manifesting as a portal.
CeCi professed ignorance that Aeneas was active, but damaged. Therefore it would make sense that her initiative would be something intended to deal with a dead (or persistently vegetative) A.I.S., rather than a hostile or rogue A.I.S. I'm just going to have to school myself to patience and wait to see what it will be.
Well, CeCi IS a Death Angel, after all. The question remains what is the Hashmallim Protocol? It must be some form of formatting or programming that affects the Doomsday Devices, possibly neutralizing or redirecting them?
I'd go a few steps further down that road. Angel of Death, Electric/Angel Protocol, Centcom's mole to solve everything, she's positioned herself to be at the center of all communications and power links through Aenae's network and also inside Nova Roma's system. I would suspect an EMP or equivalent pulse that will fry all electronic and automated systems in the city. Individual systems might survive because they're sparked but old fashioned robotics and that level AI will all be toast. Including Aenaes and a lot of innocent people. It would probably wipe out the contingencies as well.
Actually CentComm (in the comic) isn't evil just terminally practical, Dragonrider. She ruthlessly plays percentages and tries to protect the most people she can while doing it, in my opinion.
ah, very interesting, @highlander. I hadn't thought of that angle. Great. Now a whole new set of possibilities to work out. (maybe it would just be easier to just wait for the comics to come out? nah.)
ya its a tad creepy with the robot body but no more then the living doll avatar she usually wares. I wonder if she realizes this is the first time she has spoken to someone with her own face in centuries.
So...if that is a virus to take out the computers controlling the weapons... it will be lobotomizing anything that is connected to the systems...anything and ANYONE.
If CeCi also has an EMP device installed inside her body, then she could take out far more. Say bye to... well anyone not shielded. Potentially Dolly, the medics, any android...oh and most of what is keeping the Queen alive.
That may be why the shape of the thing between her hands. from above and below.
I don't think it would lobotomize her but it would probably hurt.
Also, a lot of military hardware is shielded against EMP, and androids have synthetic brains, so they would survive too, though some of their implants might not be happy.
CeCi was there when Acantha explained the "Contingencies" While supporting Rose, Kyle and the Treasures, she was probably looking for any evidence of them while working.
I "Think" she found part of them and is using what is in her "Arsenal" to deactivate them.
Rose not knowing about them is making an assumption that Centcomm is doing "Something"
I wonder if while CeCi was in the system, she "Called Home" and Centcomm squirted her some new programming to help her with the "Contingencies".
I did some digging about the meaning of the word Hashmallim.
You know, with a protocol like that in context it seems in universe Centcomm fancies herself a god. I suspect she will soon be corrected about this error.
Rose will rather swiftly see to that.
ETA: and Hashmallim translates to Angel or Electricity.
NOTE: You are so far past evil no words can describe it, you are sentenced to a life plus 100 years of daily cliff hangers.

What is the Hashmallim (הַשְׁמָלִּים) protokoll???
@alt text: indeed, it sounds very ominous...
Edit: does CeCi have a new white tattoo?
PS: have fun at the con..
EMP?
stupid english does not have the ch sound of ח ...

Might be harmful to Aeneas too.
...effectively crippling him and in endeffect preventing Aeneas to stop the contingencies...

Therefore it would make sense that her initiative would be something intended to deal with a dead (or persistently vegetative) A.I.S., rather than a hostile or rogue A.I.S.

Or would you prefer "Ceci in the Sky With Diamonds"
I was thinking of Eve Of Destruction myself.

Welcome to Denver!
It's super-effective!
"But what do insects have to with anything?"
I thought it was "Fornication under Censorship of the King". Carved into the stocks where the fornicators were sentenced to.
of course, either way, the meaning was clear, lol!

Thoughts?
Or rather, the ones to wipe out the local area.
... sooo ... the million dollar question then becomes : Has she ?
