[QUOTE="Steverooo, post: 1993727, member: 9410"] [b]Fare Well, Shadow![/b] WOW! If Mr. Cooper writes better than you, then I definitely need to get one of his books! I [I]thought[/I] that I wrote well... (Is he any relation to James Fennimore Cooper?) Sorry to see the game end! Maybe Shadow VII (circa 2040 or so) could be a descendant of David & Carlos' intermarried kids. Maybe by then, the TT gene problems have been resolved, and the new version won't have the personality problems that Alex had? It seems obvious, to me, that "The Shadow" is a psychic construct bound to the hat. Any TT Telepath with the hat would be influenced to become "The Shadow". Thus, like SP typed, there really pI]is[/I] something to those old "legends"! Wah! "When Shadows Fall" made me Boo-Hoo (you beast)! :( I didn't have the trouble with the Ultra-Tech some had... I don't find Atomic Phasers (which align the orbits of electrons within molecules, so that one physical object can pass through another) impossible, nor unreasonable. Terribly complex, maybe, but not impossible. I do have to disagree that machines can't do psionics, though... The neurons of the brain can be replicated by electronics, and have been since circa 1960. The only reason that computer brains haven't been built is the price... As nanotech advances, and prices come down, the possibility grows! By 2040, Garrity's grandson will probably have figured out how to do it. Now all the machine needs is a soul... and, of course, Michael is still around, looking for a way to survive! If he's already a ghost in the machine, he might as well inhabit the new computer brain, with his hacking abilities... Of course, what he'll be like in 35 years (and all that spent dodging power outages on the 'net) is anybody's guess! He may have a few issues of his own! One of the new Shadow's first adventures may be trying to disconnect the "malfunctioning" computer brain from the 'net, without killing power, as "The Shadow Knows" that "It's Alive!" :] Feel free to use any of that that strikes your fancy. Or not! In any case, I've enjoyed your story. Best wishes for your personal life! [/QUOTE]
