: I think, in the terminal messages, I can see a small ocular implant on his
: left eye. The first image on Terminal 1 of This Side Toward Enemy,
: especially, it pops out at me.
: I thought to look at this while reading the Facts and Puzzling Things
: About... page for the impromptu leader of the human forces on the S'phit
: homeworld.
: If I'm not seeing things in the garbled mess that is the left side of Blake's
: face, his ocular, unlike his men's, is smaller and more compact, only
: showing as a dark colored replacement for his eye.
: The Blake chapter screen also shows that his left eye is very dark, and, if
: it's to scale, his iris (if it's an actual eye) is absolutely massive and
: dark, especially in contrast to his right eye.
: Evidence that Blake is, perhaps, a proxy for Durandal? It's possible that any
: kind of storage implant would require a smaller ocular implant to fit the
: storage units (I assume that Durandal is smart enough to plan for a
: contingency like this, and make a backup of himself that would
: automatically re-upload and activate itself to more functional hardware
: when the coast is clear, and also that he would put the backup in the
: human with the greatest chance of surviving).
: Or perhaps I'm just [?rampant] and trying desperately to be productive and
: contribute.
Addendum: same level, Terminal 2 (1st message), his left eye is uh... glowing.
