Yes, Kat. Everything is totally safe. And will stay so. No possible disruptions whatsoever. |

Of course, any technology mentioned in the comic, Kat will tap into/hack into/duplicate.

"OK, you're on one of the general assembly avenues, the big building you see on the left should be the one that houses Biolab A. Just before you get to it you need to take a left down Pick-and-Place Plaza, up to the street that the particle accelerators are running along and follow them to the right. After about 15 minutes walk there will be a sign to your right marking the main data center. Paz, I'll need you to go inside and I'll walk you through the steps to get set up. Annie can keep following the accelerator until you reach the sign on your right for the secondary data center. Go inside and then we can begin debugging."
I'm not sure if I'm making joke or not.

Almost missed it but those look like more fabricator/FMS/whatever arms in the background of the last panel but waaaay bigger.

Yes Kat. That IS pretty cool. I wonder if there are tiny robots inhabiting this computer world~

Aw, it's like that orchard-in-a-room, but rife with worker's comp fodder.
But really, it reminds me of a Kat-ified version of the huge space within Steadman's arrow. It looked positively Byzantine, and somewhere in there was the shackled green man. A small thing that is sprawling from within – and, more to the point, is a bit of a fortress/prison.

Ah yes, totally safe, no one is going to lose their body to an industrial or technological accident here. Wait...

/wildspec
Kat has shown the ability to think about and then manifest any object.
What if Kat has unknowingly tapped into the Ether, condensing it into solid forms?
I think that would be kind of Full Metal Alchemist revelation, that when they use transmutation, really they are spending lives/life forms from other dimensions, effectively "killing" them.
It could be considered a crime by a certain arbiter,

Wild spec: Katrina's computer IS Zimmingham.
Kat essentially creates a Techno-Ether analogue which Zimmy inadvertently gets sucked into/logs into at random times.
Rain, the real Ether, severs the connection.

Of course, any technology mentioned in the comic, Kat will tap into/hack into/duplicate. Any sufficiently analysed magic, indeed. I'd like to see a reversal, were someone comes up with a magical analogue for something Kat is doing. But I suppose moving from Fantasy (history) to Sci-Fi (future) is where the comic's arrow points. |

This raises a few fairly obvious, but good questions:
1. Where the power comes from?
2. How many other personal worldlets like this already exist? Considering inclinations and capabilities of people working at the Court, it’s unlikely to be the first and only “broom closet off the grid”.
3. Annie and Paz presumably are tracked. What does it show right now?

Wild spec: Katrina's computer IS Zimmingham. zimmingham ! zimmingham ! zimmingham ! my first thought seeing the update today. This does actually make a perfect sense. It would probably be easier for Kat to branch off an existing thing than create from scratch. And she witnessed Zimmingham during the cruise. She has a working example to work with. Thus, once “creating weird extrusions of Courtspace” is something she considers doing, if anything it would be weird to not look into this. Of course, in this case Katsburg might be still connected to Zimmingham somehow, and messing with it too much could indeed get back to Zimmy. |

What does it show right now? Get power from putting a compressed dimension inside your compressed dimension full of power generators I don't know. That's how players end up putting a bag of holding into a portable hole. Leading to very bad results. |

Huh? Am I misremembering or didn't she just learn about this technology a couple days ago? How much time has passed since then (in which Annie didn't try to set things straight with J&J)?

That was chapter 86 if I recall. I think it's been more then a few days, but it's hard to say. Either way, Kat can just materialize things in a way that would make Star Fleet blush, so I imagine her production time is insanely short. The whole "where the heck did they get all that material and components" issue still exists, but to be fair sourcing, ordering, shipping and receiving materials is very hard to show in a comic. |

How much time has passed since then (in which Annie didn't try to set things straight with J&J)? i'm assuming that b/c the Court was trying to convince her to go with them they explained some stuff and she's just runnning with it. She has the upperhand and probably asked some questions. The court not knowing she onlpy asked so she can quickly impliment what she wants. |
