[SPEC] the cause of the communications blackout

[LordKaT]

The power interrupt happened before the blip on the security board; however, grammatically speaking:

"There's a blip on the security board"
"Holy Crap"
"We've got an intrudder, C-Wing."

The blip wasen't a "blip" in the sense of there and it's not, grammatically speaking, that blip was there like a radar blip.

spanke,

I'm speaking from experience: in terms of radar when you say "blip" it means an object that was there when the radar wave was bounced back. Usually, with something that just disappears, you say "the blip just disappeared."

[spanke5]

kat, i'm TOTALLY agreeing w/ you. i was referring to coffeejedis incredibly odd and offbase thinking. i believe the blip can be nothing more than referring to the radar. i suppose my post may have led you to believe i was talking about yours being wrong, but i was just adding that it was right and coffeejedi was not so much. thanks for trying to call me out though!

[LordKaT]

Ah, well, in any case

...

Game on!

[CoffeeJedi]

ok.... to clarify then

the blip, ahem

the blackout basically, all 3 dramas start in an instant when communication equipment goes all wonky, the AI appears on Jersey's system, Kamal and Hiro lose communication, and a blackout alerts security to Jan's presence

if we conjencture that that was one single moment in time... what caused it?

[Theorizer]

I blame durga...... Just simply because if durga is from the future (or past you never know) that jump threw time might create a power surger or whatnot. And So far the Arg be bassed on this AI, so I'm gonna guess AI coincides with AI. I really needed to dig deep for that one

Jan is breaking into the millitary base, for reasons we do not know yet. On the security system when an intruder is detected it shows up as a blip on the screen. Jan causes the massive power interupt, thats how she gets passed some of the security measures.

I would copy and paste it but that would be pointless I think.

I didn't think of it all at once so you have to read the whole page I'm 'fraid.

I think my theory explains large chunks of stuff. Judge for yourself...

I agree with Nova. I think Jan was discovered because of the blackout. She'd be the blip, discovered during the scanning procedures for Threat Condition Bravo.

The question now becomes...what caused the blackout.

I think it may be some currently unknown force at work in the story, but I have recently been entertaining an interesting idea.

Could Durga have engineered the blackout? Is that the something better she's providing for Jersey? Nah, doesn't seem to fit.

Durga's goal would have been to spy on Jan, we don't have any reason to think she would want her captured.

Unless Durga's goal was get Jan's DNA captured by the police.

edit: except it's Jersey's idea to go after Jan ... not Durga's.
