: That's a really, really excelent point. One would think that Lysander would
: have done everything possible to prevent Dangi from developing that
: vaccine. And one would think that Durandal would want to deal with
: Lysander after he had finished off the Pfhor, assuming he knew about him.
: Sounds like a possible sequel . . .

That's exactly what I was thinking. : )

: From this translation site , we find that Claix Temporum means something
: like a cup of time . What an interesting concept. This is the second time
: that we've come across this term. The first time was in Five Finger
: Discount , when we learn of the Calix Temporum syndrome as a means by
: which an AI gradually allocates more an more processing resources to
: itself through a process of rounding up. Here, we are given the term,
: 'Calix Temporum reverse allocation', but what does that mean. Anyone out
: there have any ideas on this? Any insights from Scott or Chris?

Ah, I forgot about that. Hmm... Perhaps Calix Temporum reverse allocation: 100% is some kind of buffer, or something, to keep him from going fully rampant. Or it indicates his expansion is continuing...

Wait, I had an idea. Lysander keeps going on about how the Achilles is 'Uncurable', and so forth. But we know it is. Perhaps Lysander isn't truly rampant, or hasn't gotten over the barriers keeping him there. Thus, Lysander isn't running around causing havoc. Perhaps Lysander's tricks with Charlie were merely just part of a larger security program by the Dangi Corp, initated by the entrance of an unknown, possibly hostile factor.. (Namely, you and ol' Durnie: ) )
Just an idea...
