[Hereafter] Chapter CXXX: Artificial Human
🕑 Added 2023-12-10 23:25:49 +0000 UTCI wanted to get a certain length into things and cover a certain something before the end of the chapter, but things went on for long enough that I could only stretch it so far. I at least managed to get more than one reference to the chapter title into the chapter, so even if I didn't get quite as much in as I wanted, I still got enough to justify it.
Maybe next chapter should be "The Modern Prometheus."
So this chapter should make it obvious what I meant when I said London would probably wind up fairly short, at least compared to Septem and Okeanos. Not that there won't be ways for us to get a look in on what the twins are doing, but that Taylor can't really go onto the frontlines right now, and that's going to cut down on the length of this part of the story.

I like that Taylor is wrong about who Abraham is.

It's the subtitle to the OG Frankenstein novel. "Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus." Next chapter might not have enough focus on it to use the reference, though.

Eh, Modern Prometheus is more Oppenheimer, stealing fire from the gods and all that. Personally I'd go with either Sisyphus with the ability to create artificial life being out of reach or Icarus, flying too close to life and being cast down. But that's me being a contentious arsehole. :D Which given ol Frankie got yeeted... XD
