Notice nothing's gone blooey yet...

'S kind of a slow motion thing....

Cuing Lily and Pratt, your rescuee is waiting.

From the dialog it's going to get warm but not "blooey".

"Processing"?

Yeah, they obviously left behind more than a info dump.

Wonder if Atsali's noticed yet?

Seems likely that the uranium deposit is going to melt the whole site down into a gushing torrent of sticky incandescent lava.

She must be hooked to the computer.

Also, I'm not sure the looney Etheitians are going to be the most reliable source of information right now. They'd tell you wrong information just to take you with them. If the computer is still functioning, I think I would consult it.

And ... how is it the Etheitians "told" her anything at this point? Does that mean they are still "alive" for now? They can exist outside of the crystals?

I have a feeling that Atsali has just achieved the status of a Dom0 host, and that the Etheitians are running around inside her skull as DomU "virtual machine" clients.

In other words... she isn't hooked to the computer; she is the computer!

They escaped "through" Atsali.

Even before that, I was dreading possession. Since then, more specifically Dune-ish ...

I kind of doubt hundreds of thousands of beings could possess her. Maybe one or two though. And if that's so, you just know he/she/it/they are going to be the most looney items from the looney bin.

Well, she's not as scatter-brained as Scarlet and her sisters who together make a super-computer...

It would be really nice if Monica or one of the GGs could help them at this poit...

Now, now... no sense in poiting out the obvious!!!

Yeah, I'm thinking Kath still has to decide what to do with the knowledge of the Anasasi, since Atsali seems to be the new repository for it. Assuming she got the knowlegde without the crazy to go along with it, she just became fairly important in the grand scheme of things.

Is she remembering, or is she running a last line of code?

Hm.
So, here we have our heroines facing certain death with no escape. This seems eerily similar to the way(s) Mon discovered she's the Jaguar Woman. Could this incident force Kath into the role of Spider Woman? Could she save the day by having her evolution fast-tracked in this dramatic fashion?

One has to wonder just how Atsali is going to manage to stay sane with all of those crazy minds uploaded into hers...If she continues to be able to compartmentalize all of that extra data, then she might be able to manage it, but I wonder how much of the Etheitians' wills are still intact to go with all of those thoughts.

One hopes she doesn't wind up like Donna Noble...
