Died Alone 2014-08-29

[jwhouk]

She was apparently an AFB (Air Force Brat). That is not canon, but it can be inferred from who found her and what likely happened.

Now that Kathryn has a (biological) mother, I would like to meet some of her parents (the ones that raised her). There was a ton of speculation a while back about how she was raised after the capsule was found. Might be interesting if the 2 sides of her family could meet, under MIB supervision of course, and probably not with either side getting full details either.

And since Lilly looks to be about Katherine's physical age you would need to do something about that if her folks are not in the know. Since the kids do not seem to have a Nana or G'pa besides Lilly I am guessing that the people that raised her are not in the picture for one reason or another (Of course that could be helped by Monica's abilities with the deceased.)

Suzie, you keep hugging Lily like it is a life or death matter!

[GlytchMeister]

I'll call Bellisario's Maxim on this one.

The Anasazi were using tech that makes our current understanding of DNA like third grade math to rocket science.

Man, I really don't like Bellisario's Maxim. I know, it's a necessary thing, because authors can't possibly create background info deep enough to withstand the scrutiny of thousands of bored nerds and geeks about every single aspect of their stories, but still.

Me brain hurts!

Common side-effect of forgetting to put on a tinfoil hat before witnessing wild speculation. Looks like we'll have to erect a sign in Confusion Corner:

I DO think it would be interesting to have that question answered though. How did Lily get dumped in a desert and the other five in the ocean? Why was lily the only one spared?

I do think you might find a reread interesting ...

It was the children that were dumped in the ocean. And not just the six women's children. All of the Etheitian babies. Newborn, unborn, all of them.

And: "All the pregnant women were dumped in the centers of the deserts of the world!" Not really clear to me if those are just the six, or if it's every pregnant woman among the Etheitians in stasis.

Lily may have been the only one of the dumped women to die alone. Or the only surviving vampire resulting from those dumped women who died alone. Who would know?

I stand corrected... late late nights do funny funny things to the memory... and I admit to not looking back and checking, trying to rely on my faulty memory. How hard it is to remember every little thing about this story... thirteen years of intrigue and comedy, intricate plots and back story. I've spent hours looking for something I correctly remembered, not able to find it... searching through the years of strips...

[KnightDelight]

The simplest explanation for why Lily is the only vampire out of the six women is she was the last to die. She remembered the other five but there was no one left to remember her.

That would make sense, but it assumes she knew the other women. From her point of view at the time she was the only one dumped. She had no concept that any of those events happened. She simply found herself in the desert with no idea of where or why. It's unlikely she even knew the others, let alone knew they were dumped as well.

We're arguing in a vacuum here. We weren't given the details of the fusion.

To which I say, "so?" We are always discussing these things in a vacuum to one degree or another. We extrapolate and we theorize. It's what we do.

We're talking about extraterrestrial influences (now more or less barred) that could have a biological and technical history in excess of 10 billion years, and even a thousandth of that would put the possibilities wayyyy beyond our imaginations.

Not really. We are talking about things from Paul's imagination. He often introduces physical explanations using terms we are familiar with to make it all more plausible. Galactic rotational energy funneled through wormholes and powered by contained (and well aged) plutonium, for example. Likewise, he has done so with the concept of the crystal storage media. He has given us a basic read on how they work and we take it from there.

Bikini Hugs are always good.

When I wear a bikini, nobody wants to hug me...

You could decide to stop buying Castle Bravo swimwear

[WilliamCA]

Can someone explain who Lily is. I have no idea whats going on and where she has been etc.

Not many women have her qualifications...

Just slightly more horrific than that...

Fairport - Both pictures, but the second one is especially relevant...

Yikes... Castle Bravo was a bad one....

And me wearing some would only make the matter worse...(reference Shadow's pic)

Thanks but i had to use brain bleach and eye bleach to get rid of that image from the first time. I would rather not reference it again.
