Nope. Sky Watcher gets internal monologue.

Is this the first time we have seen internal monologue from a character besides Antimony? Does Sky Watcher count? |

So...
Who thinks she sneaked a peek?
I'm trying to come up with a reason to have modern looking server racks in an abandoned warehoure. Assuming they aren't Kat's.
Its not coming.

That girl has quite a rack. I think we can see 36 servers, and it looks like there's at least one more column. I see what you did there.  Oh gee, and after I worked so hard to hide it.  I'm trying to come up with a reason to have modern looking server racks in an abandoned warehoure. Assuming they aren't Kat's. Its not coming. Kat apparently sees no reason to conceal the fact that she has access. There doesn't appear to be a lock on the door. The only time you have a server farm that size in a room with no lock, is when the only access to it is through another room you also control that does have a lock and is effectively very-restricted access. If you were careless and realize that you have a big server farm in space you don't strictly control, you do something about it - install locks, or move the servers, or perhaps install locks as a temporary measure until you can arrange to move the servers - PDQ. Which means: Kat thinks of it as hers, acts as if it's hers, and nobody objects. (And in a big drafty workshop/warehouse, a server room might be a good place to change clothes: it's probably warm.) |

(Either that or she's hosting a bitcoin hub) |

I can't think of a reason not to have a server farm in your lab. For most people in a large organization, it would make more sense to let someone else actually run the servers. And you have a server or two or three (possibly virtual, but you don't care and may not even know) that they manage for you, and you just use. But Kat is running 36+ servers. Probably has a virtual supercomputer running on top of most/all of them (yes you can do that; the necessary software is included with most free distributions of Linux), which would argue heavily for putting them all in a single room with a dedicated very-high-speed network connecting them. Few organizations smaller than Google would have an existing server room with that much spare capacity - measured in space, power, or cooling equipment. If they are having to find space and upgrade the power and HVAC, why not use a convenient empty room in Kat's shop? |

When I went to a friend's place, they had a problem with housing/running a server on a certain computer, and when we connected it to LAN on the one that could house a LAN server, it had a sort of glitch, which made their head spin 360... and it wasn't too old of a computer either... What I'm saying is... YOU CAN HAVE 36+ SERVERS ON ONE COMPUTER?! |

Paz, get out! I'm change! [image] It's the changeroom. I regret nothing!*slow clap* Nothing to regret hereIf Paz is as interested in the sciences as some people think, I wonder if they'll end up building something. Personally hoping for some kind of biologically-accurate ornithopter..it probably wouldn't be as compact as an anti-grav unit but would definitely be cooler  [wild spec] Or maybe, tic tocs? [/wild spec] ( blink) Been looking at Treatise 5 ( link for the lazy), and I'm noticing the heart again. Just a thing to keep in mind. |

It's been my head-canon, that all of Kat's internal monologue (usually pigeonized) is voiced by Vin Diesel. Ever since the City Face comic where it was mentioned that was CF's voice actor. Reminds me of Doctor Girlfriend ala Venture Brothers. Seriously though, who just walks in and goes "ooh what's in here?" when you obviously just went in there to change? If that had been a guy, people probably would've taken it the wrong way, but they're just so d'awwww. Were I dating someone, and I ducked into an adjacent room to change, I'd probably be pretty flustered if he poked his head in to see the room I was changing in. The way it's phrased, it sounds innocent enough, but I'd still burst out that "I'M NOT DONE YET JEEZ" |

Maybe the lab has many doors, and that wouldn't have helped. My reaction: "WHAT THE POO MONKEYS?!" It was embarrassing to find that my natural reaction is not to swear like most people when shocked the first time this happened.  |

What I'm saying is... YOU CAN HAVE 36+ SERVERS ON ONE COMPUTER?! Emphasis on "plus". In 2004 the supercomputer Flashmob I was built in a few hours at the University of San Francisco using borrowed computers (mostly from students) and networking equipment (HP and a couple of other big companies lent some hardware). Being an ad-hoc assembly without super-high-end networking technology, its reliability was not great and the best *completed* speed-test involved about 150 computers for 77 billion floating-point operations per second. Then time ran out and it was torn down so the hardware could be returned to its owners and the university could have the gymnasium back. The largest current publicly-acknowledged supercomputer (as of about 5 months ago; there's a new list due out next month) is a Chinese array with over 3 million processor cores. And it runs Linux. So you can download the OS it's running, for free, and start building your own if you want. |

I did the math once, just for fun. |
