Once I figured out what you'd done, I wondered if you'd taken the Hypervelocity arc and run with it. :) Well done.

I bet it's easier for people who've read Hypervelocity to figure out what's going on in this fic... I just love that comic, and I'm surprised I haven't run into any other fic that does something with the idea. And thank you for commenting. :)

Holy crap, that was AMAZING. I have no words to describe the awesomeness of this fic. And the end! Tony and Jarvis loose on the internet together! *dies*

This is definitely going in my favorites.

*bows* Thank you, glad you liked! :) Yep, poor internet, it'll never be the same again. ;)

A gripping story. You had be guessing and wondering though just about all of it! AND you have me more than a little worried at times.

But is the the end-end? I'm left wondering as to what will become of Pepper and Rodney, not to mention Tony's company, fortune, and broken, comatose body. I assume ultimately they'll have to pull the plug, but what then? My heart aches for Pepper and her lose. But not that's he's finally taken control of himself, can't Tony try communicating with them?

Yeah, well, it is the end-end, except for the little epilogue I just posted. I actually wanted to leave everything open, I think the story would somehow fall flat if I wrote a happy ending to it. I like it this way: you can decide for yourself whether the ending would be happy or not.

(I've got to confess, I'm a sucker for happy ones myself, so the way I see it is that everything will end up fine, Tony 1.0 will wake up and eventually recover, and have a lot of fun when he finds out about Tony 2.0 - but that's just my opinion, and even though I'm the author, it's in no way official, and that's why I'm not writing it down in story form. :)

Had never read this fic before, just discovered it today. Excellent story, love the idea of Tony uploading his consciousnesses just in case something happens. Love the way this story was set up as a sci fi mystery as to exactly what is happening.

This ending is touching and sad, but with a glimmer of hope in case the real Tony ever does wake up.

Thanks. This story is probably my personal favorite out of everything I wrote last year, I like the basic idea (which was, like I say in the end credits, borrowed from an actual Iron Man comic), and I think this turned out just the way I wanted it to. :)
