Ooh, Cortex is also good. Why didn't I think of it?

[aside]
Is it bad that one of my supporting characters is slowly morphing into Dom Deluise? Can Dom Deluise even play "serious?"

We applied the cortical electrodes but were unable to get a neural reaction from either patient.

I thought Cortex was a bit too blatant, which is why I thought of Cortel but go for it either way

Can your Dom character be the comic relief or does he HAVE to be serious? You can name him Luise?

I aim to misbehave!

Well, since he's responsible for 2 murders, why not call him La Muerte?

Or maybe Mat Flaneur? Mat from the Arabic for death, and Flaneur from the French: to wander aimlessly down the street.

And of course, for a good "gag" name, nothing beats my all-time fave: Milosh Smegma, the gag part being the Smegma. Look it up...

You ever figure out what to call your character?

Right now, the short list is:
Rubicon
Cortex (which also evokes images of the sub-sentient mind, which is the source of the "malfunction")
Chrome (which I may keep, 'cause it's starting to get more familiar as I use it)

I decided to drop "Soon," just cause of the alliteration with "Sonnet." They spend a good chunk of time together and I didn't want to start calling them "The S-Team."

Oh, and the "Dom Deluise" character is Rupert Kohn, the murder victim (and Chrome's "father"), though we see him later as an AI avatar, dressed up in gaudy faux-Egyptian robes and babbling about the nature and destiny of man and machine. Completely over-the-top and geeky, which is where the Dom Deluise part comes in.
