Scourge w/ Commentary, Page 17


   In Michelangelo's mural on the Sistine Chapel Ceiling, the pod of God when he creates Adam has the exact profile of a brain. Dan Browning it, we're saying that there's just no way that one of the greatest geniuses of the Renaissance could have known what a brain looked like, but he was influenced to paint it like that through subliminal processes telling him how anatomy works. Since that's basically the entire D'varri shtick, accidentally psychically implanting ideas of their own DNA into people, that fits. I think that was Joe's idea, using the Sistine chapel ceiling as the perfect analogy for how that works. Or Cailin's. Definitely not mine, as I didn't even know that, but, sure enough.

And then ASH SMOOCHING OUT OF NOWHERE. I'm not sure how clear it is that that's what's going on. So our hero boy delivers his spiel about how he can't return her love, because

  1. He's technophilic, and
  2. Even if he weren't, he's still married.
   The power of fidelity (except with robots) triumphs all!
