Re: Pious Flea changes resist to reveal

In the Operator's Monologue, Melissa uses two variations of S.E.R.E. She first says, survive evade reveal escape. Then a few lines down she says survive evade resist escape. If these three A.I.'s are all Melissa, maybe the Queen/Operator(now) is the corrupted weapon, as she states the weapon is the most important thing she is. Corrupted because of the Flea. Durga acts in somewhat the same manor, so she could be the original weapon. Targeting for information, using survive evade resist escape. And the Sleeping Princess could be the translation portion. She seems to understand different languages, (the use of French in killer.jpg, any other examples?) and also being better at encyption, being able to hide text in images and whatnot. Think I may be on the right path?

3 melissas? isn't there talk of 3 swords? and the Widow having 3 tools to defend herself and save the queen?

also, in the durga/jersey conversation, this bit caught my attention when discussing names:
Jersey: That sucks. Ok, I'm gonna call you Durga
Durga: But what if that's wrong?
Jersey: Trust me, it's at least partly right.

he seems to know more about her than he lets on.
any ideas?

I think there may have been something there, *sorry if this is trout* Durga is known in India as a goddess. to quote a website,

"In answer, the three Gods combined their divine energy and summoned up a feminine form so brilliantly glaring that it illuminated the heavens. From the glow emerged Durga, a beautiful woman with ten arms riding a lion. Despite her grace she bore a menacing expression, for Durga was born to kill. Fully grown and beautiful Durga was immediately armed by the gods and sent forth against Mahishasura bearing in each of her ten hands, symbols of their divine power.
A fierce battle took place. Finally when Mahishasura in the guise of a buffalo charged against Durga, the Devi beheaded the buffalo and from it emerge Mahishasura in his original form. Durga pierced his chest with the trident and relieved the world from the evil power. That is why she is 'Durgatinashini Durga', our mother goddess who destroys the evil, protects her devotees and establishes peace and prosperity on earth."

*Again sorry if this is trout. I didn't see anything specific during a search, even though I know this had to be an earlier find.*

Maybe Jersey said calling her Durga is partly right because like in the blaze's reference, the goddess Durga killed demons. And the AI Durga in the story killed the navy sentinels, so maybe Jersey was glad not to have them in his comp. Maybe?

i figured it was 'Genie', because she's an assistant, you "rub the magic lamp" and out she pops to do your bidding... like in Aladdin
also, genie is an anglasized form of the word djinn, which is the original word for the Hindu spirit / demon (had to do your bidding, but were kinda evil)

it just made sense, tying one Hindu goddess (Durga) into another Hindu mythological figure

maybe M and or D are experimental spies? They have a design flaw in that their memory capasity is affect by the size of the system they land in. Not being able to access ones ID would protect the sender and align with CP.
