Sorry this is such a shamefully late response. And thanks for the info on Jake; the comparison is helpful. I wasn't sure how the tech on CC worked either, but I didn't have anything to compare it to other than Strange Days, which is close but not quite the same. I imagine we're not supposed to question the technobabble and try to see how these things work, because it doesn't seem like the writers necessarily figured it out in the first place. They should spend more time geeking out, perhaps. *g*
