Kate's been given a very specific objective : protect humanity in a way that only she is able to - even from itself if necessary.
Whether she believes in that mission or is simply obeying orders isn't quite as clear, but either way she isn't going to let anyone threaten the stability of Atropos without consequences.
In other words, don't piss her off.
Anyways hope you enjoy! Been getting more and more people checkin' out the comic lately. Thanks so much to everyone who is taking the time to follow it all :)
Be sure to check out the SUPPORT page if you want to see this month's pin design as well as throwing a vote for me on TopWebComics is ya wanna!
Peace out everyone!

Rigidity leads to stagnation, not evolution. God Emperor Leto Atreides II taught us this!
If KATE's so smart she should realize this right away.

Yup. Even an advanced AI has room for some learning. Not quite as all knowing as she's been taught/programmed to believe.

Wait why don't they just destroy the receiving towers for her?

Presumably KATE detects the loss of a tower pretty fast, and most places have multiple towers.

It's also rather time consuming to demolish a bunch of radio towers, even if you did know their range / how many were on the rooftops / in buildings / etc.
Nevertheless though, that *would* probably be the sane, rational way of dealing with things haha.
Not that anyone's going to be rational any time soon haha

In everything, change occurs.
Our entire universe exists in a kind of Zone of Balance between the forces of Order & Chaos. Chaos can best be described as "the only constant is change." But with Chaos there can be nothing existing, as there is no structure upon which to build anything; even if something could exist, it just as quickly changes again. Chaos is potential, but no actuality.
Best description of Order is "nothing can change." It is structure, stability, enduring. Even if Time passes there's no way to tell because Time can only be measured by the rate at which something observable is affected by change. Order is also complete stagnation & it remains so through Time which also has no effect upon it.
Our universe exists only in a way where changes is still occurring on a constant basis, but changes occur in patterns which can be learned & predicted. Chaos & Order interacting with each other, but no presence overwhelms the other.
K.A.T.E. is firmly overbalanced towards Order, to the point of irrationally enforcing stagnation, & yet can never become fully Ordered herself without ejecting herself outside of existence in this universe.
Ok, that's my 2 cents worth even though I think I put a whole dime's worth of philosophy into it.
