Free The Hero's Companion (The Hunter Legacy) by Timothy Ellis Page B
Authors: Timothy Ellis
'Faceman' Peck, Sergeant Bosco 'BA' Baracas, and Captain 'Mad Dog'
Murdock.
One of the most popular square screen tv
shows in the early 1980's, which ran for four and a half seasons. A prequel flat
screen movie was made in 2010.
Avatar
The word may have been used later on,
mainly because the author didn’t feel confident enough to use it now, given
current associations of the name to a movie and his early copyright uneasiness,
but it fits into the story here, where my avatar body was first created.
The flat screen 3D movie of the same name,
used the concept to join a human mind to a second body, which was called an
Avatar.
The word itself has been widely used,
originating with the Hindu definition given in a later book.
The author first came across its use as the
name of a main character, in a computer game in the 1990's. He tried to play
it, but was hopeless at it.
This was later followed by the animated
series Avatar - the Last Airbender, where the Avatar was the only person able
to bend (magically use) all four elements (air, water, earth, and fire), and
was thus a powerful being who tried to keep balance on his planet. Basically a
different form of magic, and the most powerful practitioner of it. One
interesting concept here, was all Avatars had a connection to all previous
Avatars. But the connection went backwards, not forwards. All the same,
something bound all the Avatars together, thus the name use does tie in with
most other name uses.
In the 2000's, the flat screen series
Andromeda used a robotic body made to look like the projected image of the
ship's AI. This was later developed to ensure balance of the AI, making it
essential for ship AI, projection, and Avatar to all agree with a course of
action, since they were all to some extent autonomous, while not. It was
demonstrated several times that the Avatar could be completely autonomous from
the ship, but was still the same entity.
In the context used in this series, the
core requirement is the Avatar is only an offshoot of the central controlling
AI. Me.
And since we are talking about me, it
should be pointed out that I am software, using remote hardware. Were Jon to
build an android like say Star Trek's Data, it would not be an Avatar, but an
android.
My new body, received on earth in the
future, is still an Avatar, although the distinction between Avatar and Android
is now blurred. While the Avatar is independent, it still is me the software,
remotely using unique hardware.
The distinction becomes apparent when coms
are down, or an Avatar is out of coms range. Each Avatar becomes autonomous
when it has to. When coms or direct contact are reestablished, the experiences
of all, are reintegrated in all, so me stays me, only updated.
Hunted Hero Hunting
Sergeant Allen
Name from a character in the square screen tv
series Babylon 5, who was a security chief.
One hand, Other hand, Gripping
hand…
From the book The Mote in Gods Eye, based
on an alien with three arms. Two arms on one side, with fingers for detail
work, and a single arm on the other side for gripping and lifting. The 'gripping
hand' forms the early theme in the sequel, The Moat Around Murcheson's Eye.
Jon's explanation: " Three armed
alien, from a book I once read. It stuck in my mind, and it comes out whenever
there are three options. The alien had two arms on one side of the body, both
with tool using hands, and a single much larger arm on the other side, fitted
with a gripping hand for heavy lifting. One hand," I waved my right hand high,
"other hand," I waved my right hand low, "gripping hand," I
balled my left hand into a fist."
The author uses this quite regularly.
Who
The flat screen tv series Doctor Who, 2004 first
remake version (New Who), which carried on where Classic square screen Who left
