You might think that from these descriptions that I am a violent person. I assure you I am not. However, weapons are a fact of life (2001: A Space Odyssey featured a bone as shown above) so I just figured that as technology advanced, so would weapon design.

MINIMCOM's blood lines
MINIMCOM plays such a large role in Rome's Revolution that you might find it hard to believe that he wasn't even a planned character. Originally, I envisioned him as being a slightly fussy auto-pilot, patterned after the intelligent bomb in the movie Dark Star and no more.
However, once I started writing what was then VIRUS 5 - Book 2, which became Part 2, MINIMCOM mutated into the beginnings of the character we know and love today. He became super-intelligent because OMCOM had the Vuduri graft 32PB of additional processing and storage capacity. A little bit of OMCOM's personality seeped through as well. Then his airframe became fused with tamed VIRUS units which MINIMCOM elected to call constructors. Their memrons contributed to the whole which is MINIMCOM. As a result, his physical starship persona can be reformed at will as we see in the first part of Part 3 of Rome's Revolution as well as his transforming into, well, a Transformer-like giant robot in Rome's Evolution.
