This weekend, as part of Constitution Day events, Kansas State will have the Dorothy L. Thompson Civil Rights Lecture with the topic "Guns on Campus." Is it just me, or would that be a MUCH more interesting lecture if it were Hunter S. instead of Dorothy L.? Well, probably a lot shorter, too.
Inspired by this (very foulmouthed) LJ post.
All along, Netwalker has assumed he's the lone sheriff policing the net for rogue AIs and the like. After all, no one ever seemed to run into him on his missions trying to do the same job, no one ever contacted him to team up, etc. It seemed a reasonable assumption after several years on the job.
But, in fact, there's a "real" Legion of Net.Heroes, although they don't call themselves that. AIs, as created beings, were no more or less susceptible to vanishing in 1998 than beings like satyrs or merlions...true, a lot of them died because the systems they required to live were unable to remain online in the absence of their inventors, or the machines were simply destroyed in the chaos. But enough survived to band together as protectors of the recovering online world. They simply haven't contacted Netwalker because they're not sure a "meatbrain" is up to operating on their level.
After the events of ASH #100, they're still not sure he's up to it, but they do know they can't leave him out of the loop....
May or may not do anything with this myself, anyone interested in writing this? :)
