Urp.
Sorry, I originally just meant to make a short summary of what TLC would have been, but it kinda ballooned. Yeah, I don't have anything really to say about it. If anybody does wanna talk about it, I'm fine with going somewhere else.
Sorry Mug. Again, I liked the timeline format of it a lot.

S&A dubbed her The Harvester when she "returned..changed" because she became both a resource gatherer and and a "harvester/reaper" of lives. Also her name means harvester.
In case it wasn't apparent enough, The Harvester is basically a humanoid abomination post-voyage, she can act like a virtual particle of any sort and entangle her mind with, well anything really. It's plausible she could leave to another universe but she's too dead inside and apathetic to do much of anything by the time her journal ends.

The off-topic doesn't bother me, it's interesting and also somewhat related.

Yowtch. At least Visser had a somewhat happy and inspiring end.
Eeyup, definitely not going with this kind of Immortality.

Well Theresa (the harvester) was one googol years old at the time of her next to last entry. By the time of the last one she didn't even bother with the date. Let that sink in, someone who counted their age until into the googols stopped bothering to count.

In all likelihood numbers would become irrelevant long before you ever reached a googol ;P Kudos to her for continuing to keep track xD

yeah you'd probably get to the point years are more like seconds and counting millenia as a year would be more logical as the eons stretch.

That was my point lol, she thought googols were relevant numbers but she still stopped bothering, meaning the numbers had gotten so ridiculous as to make googols seem irrelevant.

I've always thought that would be the issue with immortality

Actually a Googol is pretty irrelevant number. A googol has no particular significance in mathematics, but is useful when comparing with other very large quantities such as the number of subatomic particles in the visible universe or the number of hypothetically possible chess games. Edward Kasner used it to illustrate the difference between an unimaginably large number and infinity, and in this role it is sometimes used in teaching mathematics.
Notable only, in these terms, to signify the Heat Death of the Universe ;P as I said in the discussions thread.

I had this idea once to have the Harvester pop up in another work and going like : "Hello, my name is Theresa Wolfenstein and I am approximately 768 quadrillion googol eons old, nice to meet you ^^" Time Abyss beyond the impossible up to eleven on crack and steroids at the same time
