Of course. What can beat the tar out of an avatar? Another avatar. But will "Probably Better" sell out its associates in the end?
Nice technobabble with the differing energy oscillations between dimensions. Sounds like it means something which makes sense and is theoretically quantifiable.
Hmmm. For whatever reason avatars don't have some sort of solid state or crystal/holographic kind of backup for their data? Take out the controlling software and it's all gone. Max Earth tech is likely reliable enough where the AI computed they'd not need such. Who could predict AI attacking AI?
(insert "Ape shall not kill Ape!" litany from a certain 1970's franchise.)
Clarke now has the bare bones information he needs to move forward if the avatar shard doesn't make it. And it likely won't. Dragging half an avatar through the portal station without notice seems like a difficult proposition.
Yeah, I'm realizing I'm dumb here. Justin could have a non-volatile storage backup, but, if his avatar is deactivated how does the data get back to his core?
And it's very questionable if there's anything on Mid-Earth that could access it.
Thank you! This gives me a lot of ideas for how to structure a serialized story. Very easy to dive right in.
It's taken a lot of fine tuning to find something that feels welcoming to new readers, without being fiddly for regulars!

I had HEAVY vibes of Terminator 2 going on while writing this one. Especially that first fight in the shopping mall between the T-1000 and T-800.
As for solid state drives - stay tuned.

I shall stay tuned. 😊
All good questions.
I SAID I'M STAYING TUNED!
