Sunstone is in effect it would seem no sel~casts from Helios Towers and our little "White-Angel" seems to have a dark side also.

Seems like Cella is a believer of "omission of details is not lying" way of thinking.
I'd disagree, and Calliope would probably too.
Besides, if Calliope is about to make a decision that would start a war, Centcomm do have the option of telling her "no", even if Centcomm cannot directly disobey her orders, nothing stops her from speaking the truth. And that could rattle even Calliope enough to make her come up with a better plan.
Wait why does Evil-1 in effect pay herself? what do her Droids and Dollls need? The have everything at their fingertips, housing would be provided as I'm sure she doesn't want someone getting their hands on one somehow food would be provided and transportation. They aren't part of the system because they are direct from Evil-1 they are the system.
I agree with your top three, though I'm not sure we'll see Mira again once the message is delivered. Also, we'll *probably* see more of Connie than we will of Ray. I think she already has more screen time than him. Though seeing how things play out with him and Minx will make an excellent side story. Unless they get more airtime once Calli gets in motion. Then it'd be a great subplot within the main story :D
Big err Deep Blue is for Sparta.
My Choices
Mira
Rotter
Breaker
(Not in order) and that's all right my Dragonnets patrol 24/7 even TR ain't gettin past them they have centuries of experience shutting down ninja wannbe's..
Agamemmon is also new sparta . hes the Military AIS there.. Deep Blue is infomation and actually isnt based in New sparta ( eventhough he was accessed there.. )
Hrmm ... ok, Malati is someone I would like to see more of. If nothing else than to see how indivicual the kassians are allowed to be, and their limitations. They do after all seem to be run fairly stricly controlled by Kali, but at the same time it seems Kali approves of them being .. quirky. :D
Another character I doubt we've seen the last of is Logrin the Ranger, but then he also already have a cast profile. Rotter would be another I'd like to know more of, even though he probably won't appear any more in the comic. He's an oddity and that makes him interesting.
Which in turn leads me to the 'Archpriest of the Church of Purity', (actually he's a non-believer, but noone got the balls to tell him to leave his post or something like that?), Setorius Akinan, who does have an entry on the cast page, but we haven't actually seen him in the comic yet.
He has great potential, partly because while he would probably be great at keeping a secret, I'm thinking he'd hate to have to do it - After all, why would HE have to conform to *any* stupid convention like that ?
He seems to be the kind of person who doesn't like limitations, such as "you're supposed to grow old" ... "oh to heck with that." - I mean, if someone told him a secret and told him to keep it a secret, he'd probably just tell the bloody secret to anyone nearby just to be free of his limitations.
- He serves himself, and science, and noone else. -
And yes, he *will* wrestle a Scythe Lizard to prove how serious he is .. and probably win the match too, he has after all been enhanching his body for the last 60 years.
You forgot another Very Major Player up and coming. Arianna, Maxus's love interest who he is sending to Luna or possibly to New Troy depending how the next sets of pages work out.
Damn, I was with Dragonrider and Sheela. I got the feeling that Maxus might care for Arianna more than he wanted to let on. And she wasn't adverse to that either. :-p
Shows what we know... or could it be that the EVIL authoress wants us to THINK that? Not above misleading us, I think. :-)
Then why did she have a thought balloon that said she was enjoying seeing Mira chew out the other Droid/Doll at Customs Point of Entry and why did she get snarky and deliberately mispronounce the other ones name to Harpy, and if she was a doll controlled by Evil-1 why was she surprised that Evil-1 was in residence at Helios Towers??
Methinks Cella may be underestimating Calli, and what resources Calli can put her hands on personally that Evil-1 and Crew could not touch. It really wouldn't surprise me if Helios Towers isn't equipped to handle a revolution on its own if necessary and if Central Command and Control is unaware of the Mil Spec resources the Taylors have at hand. I think Evil-1 better remember her orders to come clean because Calli is going to know if she is being lead through the maze again.
Its damn well about time, but what about some of her "free thinking A-1's such as Cella they seem to have quite a bit of latitude in how they interpret and carry out their orders.
Wouldn't be surprising if Centcomm has a backdoor of sorts into her freethinking android-selfes, just in case one goes HAL-9K or something like that.
though she probably wouldn't use such a backdoor for something trivial, it would probably have to be something damn important for her to even consider violating even one of her own dolls.
Though I thought it would be more of a "soft kill" switch, so she could talk to them after getting them to a safe place and investigate *why* they went HAL-9K in the first place.
Cella is part of the 'briar hedge'.
[I expect androids are somewhat conservative by nature and like things well programmed.
They probably don't care much for redundancy either!]
Standard bot protocols, I'm guessing, including a protocol for good behavior combined with some short term memory so she doesn't accidentally create some sort of faux pas.
Nice twist! So Cella is Krystal ... can everyone please take back all the hugs for the INTSEC doll now? I think we should designate her as 'Evil-0' ... glad that her hobbies include history and shopping, but it doesn't say what she likes shopping for ;)
Well sadly the Dolls dont have enough hardware or software to actually "spark" Black Angels have a full Synth-brain like regular andriods . thus she can "spark" while dolls can not.
if my household appliances become self aware... i will send them to Dr. Silver for further study... it is much eaiser to donate them to science, and let the lab girls/boys deal with it...
Except you would be outnumbered and they would probably vote to donate YOU to Setorius Axinian for further study. I mean, EVERYTHING around you is sparking you MUST have some 'magical' talent worthy of study. :-D
possible .. but unless the household objects grow some form of local motion... I think I will be fine.. if they move to try to harm me.. they then have gone H9k and I am fully in my right sand responsibility to terminate them ....... with very extreme prejudices... there may be a smoking creator in the milsec district where my apartment once was.... and it may be a quarantine zone for the next 2 weeks while clean up crews work around the clock to clean up the.... "disaster" .... but the city will be safe from the weaponized toaster, and the atomic blender..
centcom: you blew up half the milsec distric..
marcus: the toaster moved
centcom: it fell off the counter
marcus: he was coming at me with intent.
centcom: you used a fusion bomb!!
marcus: he was still twitching after I shot him 36 times..
I'm voting for Connie and Ray. (I really self-identify with Ray, and I'm hoping Connie runs over her former boss with something really large.) Please note I'm serious enough to send a bribe. Go get a pizza. :)
Instead of doing something constructive been rereading. Vinnie has been double dipping, it appears he's standing guard in front of Aeneas's door as well as at the Helios towers, somebody got some 'splainin to do here.
On a meta note, we can't build our own custom models, so we're limited to what's already available on the figure market for DAZ Studio. Le Artiste is also quite selective; there have been a few figures that looked pretty awesome, but were so poorly optimized or so limited in posability that they just weren't usable.
REAPERS?!?!?!? where ? *pulls on Kinetic Armor and Cerberus HArrier Assault rifle and spins around looking for something to shoot* Where Are the REapers!??! I'll kick their giant AI spaceship butts back to darkspace....
Cent's been trying to learn, using 3D Studio Max, and has been able to make some very simple props, last I checked. Building fully articulated figures and props, though, is indeed a specialized skill that neither of us has been able to master.
Hey, it is big enough and stout enough it can do double duty. CentComm is just where it can be used right now. Then will have to load it up to get over to Douchebag to feed him into it. :-D
I was thinking just enough to make him want to fit into a Pink Tutu and have him dance for the entertainment of the court and his personal set of bully boy guards.
No Dragonrider, I think you were trying to permanently scar peoples' minds... Douchebag in a PINK Tutu? :-p Just thinking about that image makes me queasy. :-)

Cellaoh,just saw she already has an entryWould she rather it be a girlfriends love than a childs love ?

[And because CentComm is a more superior being
and doesn't tell her every little thing!]

Eternal Guardian, walker of light.
Essence of Nothing and of All.
Heart of steel and of flesh and blood, Alone and yet surrounded.
Ancient beyond years yet still a child,
Dark storms in their wake, but reaching for that golden dawn.
Angels of Light and Dark, dance to it's tune, Yet light and dark in their nature not their true color show.
Protecting its mother yet still seeking her embrace...
Only a blunt and direct one ever put it in it's place.
The everlasting briar, Paired against the single Rose...Its truth only what the Scarred one knows.
Giver of life, bringer of death and yet Seeking neither.
We poor mortals Left guessin what it plots, what it plans
And yet in the End we all find ourselves drawn along in its wake,,
Silent Watchers of the story....Spun for us
by the Sneaky Pink Haired one.
That realy is deep.
Kudos to any who know where walking the tables is a phrase from. ;)
[I expect androids are somewhat conservative by nature and like things well programmed.
They probably don't care much for redundancy either!]
I wonder what happened to Krystal now that Cella has disconnected from her...
*hugs Mira and Krystal*
What if the doll run into someone else that thinks they know her and approaches her ?
Can she react well enough until Centcomm can recover remote control of her ?
She is a sophisticated 'dress'* to be worn as necessary.
Any personality displayed is that of the 'wearer'.
*(Or where's WALDO?)

Yeah Marcus but the Roomba is in on it too. :-D It is SUPPOSED to move.
Roomba?
I was thinking of a jumbo sized one, that could suck you up and carry you off to be experimented on. :-D
You should know this Marcus!
-or-
Do not have the time to build the models ?
Watches clock (too cold to do too much else :-p)
