Nerve-worm is good. Hope its actually slang for a biological symbiote rather than a technological device, given that makes the setting feel a little more “What has Science done?” And I am so glad to have this wrapping back around to the head.
sorry to disappoint. it’s not a biological symbiote.
it’s not a plot device, so in this case i can just say a nerve worm is what i envisioned a simple brain to limb upgrade might be called. i named that cause, well, you know how pace makers have little wires that reach out from the device into the muscle, for a simple electric stimulation? i kinda thought up the nerve worm to be a little tiny computer, with ready access to the brain (cause a lot of people would have that as the base upgrade) so, the upgrade would just install itself by driving tiny little wires down someone’s limb, interfacing with nerves, and muscle, and what have you. so that’s the ‘worm’ aspect. once installed, sky’s the limit, right? that’s where programming magic takes over, i suppose.
You have just equaled the very best of cyberpunk.
You and William Gibson.
Please write several unrecognized cult novels before descending into decadent degradation.
Thank you.
wow… i don’t know what to say to that one. thank you? i don’t deserve it, but i’ll work to live up to it. but decadent degradation is definitely not my style. i think i’m more of the ‘wallow in angsty anonymity and then kick the bucket’ type.

nerve worms…….damn, man. your techno-imagination is awesome.
thanks! i love dropping a little slang and jargon in. so long as it feels like flavour, and not a bad after taste.
Panel 1 “possesions” needs one more S.
So, are we finally gonna find that poor girl’s head, which we met SO looonnnggg ago?
