REBOOT ARRIVAL; Day 4

Posted in The Story so far..., 4 years ago

rebootarrivalthumbnailborder16.jpgI've spent the last four days doing absolutely nothing but writing the ReBoot comic book (oh, and drinking coffee, tea, chocolate milk and eating melons, toast, scrambled eggs, and crackers) and phew - I need a break. Time for an update!


WARNING!!! INCOMING SPOILERS!!!


On days 1-3, I wrote a huge pile of notes. My notebook is now hugely full of... uh... notes. I spent a lot of time detailing arcs for the characters I thought needed complex arcs: Gnosis, Bob, Enzo, Matrix, Lens, Vector, and Ether. Here's a selection of primary arc-need describers I wrote.


 

Gnosis wants to become as powerful as a User so that it can become a Sprite.

Enzo wants to prove to himself and to his keytool that he has the heart of a Guardian.
Lens wants to redeem himself for taking part in the Codemasters' treachery.

 


So you can see that the story is already developing. After I got these done, I hit the computer to start nailing in the outline. Here's a short snippet of the outline for book 1, which I have tentatively named Paradigms Lost after Slackbot's awesome suggestion.


Both Bob and Turbo receive a private message to meet "someone" in a secret location. They go and meet the Codemasters: Lens; his servant, Ether; the High Codemaster; and his retinue of warriors. They explain to Bob and Turbo that they've invented a firmware upgrade called Gnosis that, when installed in the Supercomputer, will render it immune to viruses and that can be expanded to shield all other systems on the Net. The update has the power to corrupt viral code. Bob and Turbo agree to try it.


Unbeknownst to them, a Spyware Fly has observed this event, relaying video back to Megabyte.


See! I got the Fly in there! Oh, and I have decided to officially suggest this comic series be named ReBoot: Ascension. It just seems right. I will table that tomorrow morning when I meet with our new editor.

    Enzo will get a keytool so soon or is he trying to get one?

    Cool, the Fly is there! :-D

    More spoilers please!

    I'm looking forward to the finished product...

    Not that I mind spoilers and teasers. I thrive on them. Thank you kindly for the update, but don't feel pressured to update us if it's easier to just write, write, write. It's up to you, of course!

    Thanks, nevertheless. It sounds amazing.

    I'm glad to hear about the story's progress. It's getting me all excited about the comic.
    So Enzo has just gotten his keytool then? I'm still wondering how he escaped from Megabyte but I bet you guys will do your best to explain everything with either flashbacks or whatever.
    Keep up the good work!
    Yay! ReBoot is on its way to recovery!

    etoile37 and Raws: Yes, Enzo get his keytool (in this draft of the outline) but he still has to learn how to use it. Also, the keytool itself doesn't take his commands until he proves himself to it. More on that later...

    Yuck! You need a more varied diet. Or better yet, better food.

    How much time will it take to make his keytool take commands? That would be interesting to see him getting it to work progressively, a new fonction now and then. As long as he's a kid (and I hope he'll stay a kid for a very long time, that would be too weird to have two adult Enzos lol), he shouldn't be able to use weapons with his keytool, only tools, more like Glitch in season 1 and 2.

    Can you tell us how he got it or that would be too much information?

    Huzzah!

    Gnosis wants to become as powerful as the User so it can become a Sprite? Interesting. I like it, though the question in my mind is, after ataining User-like status, would it want to become a Sprite, which is so much less powerful? Or is the fact that Gnosis wants so badly to be a Sprite that it would give up that power the whole point?
