This is wish fulfillment, isn’t it? Cold
electronics, “Terminal Frost”? Sounds like there’s a Floridian trying to escape
the heat in any way possible… And who can blame them? TL3SS’s EP I is like an Alaskan glacier slowly
chipping itself into the sea as the air warms around it, a last-ditch effort at
overcoming the encroaching heat death of the universe … or at least our planet.
And I have to ask, is TL3SS a robot? If so, there’s a much better chance that
TL3SS is simply setting the stage for its own personal existence following the
mass extinction of the human race.
If it gets that far, that is. Let’s hope it
doesn’t!
Still, there’s a pessimism in EP I, or is that an optimism? Depends on
the perspective, I guess, with the balance tipping in favor of the machine. Who
knows what elemental programming courses through the data ports of whatever
battery center constitutes the heart! In the end, we are meat, and we will
decay. In the end, TL3SS will last far longer, and rule in our stead.
Or just exist and perform tasks; not exactly
sure what “rule” means either.
