Update to my previous post

While going through the archives of the webcomic in which mmsophia appears, I happened to notice these two pages, in which Lorelei's friend Leo Bowman is given an engine for his truck that "seems to regulate energy drawn from the quantum fluctuations in 'empty' space... forming an almost unlimited source of energy."

It appears her fellow posthuman savant, Forethought, has discovered a means of tapping zero-point energy. It may be, if the laws of physics governing such things in her world work the same way as they do back in my home universe, that she's about to have a lot of company.

Of course, her journal is written from the perspective that she exists in the "real" world, but that "obviously" can't be right. She's a fictional character, the same as Obi-Wan Kenobi (last_master). Or Strong Bad (good_or_awesome) and his little yellow friend (ilko_skevuld). Or max_a_mercer and Divis Mal, of course. 8-)
