This is the category for all the quasi-storyboards and other art associated with a screenplay written by Iago Faustus, called Auto-Icon. The arrangement of posts should show all the storyboards in sequence of publication, beginning with the most recent. The arrows at the bottom of the page are counter-intuitive as a consequence of theme organization. “Older Posts” advances the reader further in time, “Newer Posts” backwards.

INT. U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE PRESSROOM – DAY
The Mediatrix, projected by her tube, is answering reporters questions.
REPORTER #1
A number of sources have claimed that you are not an artificial intelligence at all but only a holographic projection of a U.S. State Department negotiator, perhaps working from a special undisclosed location. Would you care to comment?
MEDIATRIX
These claims are completely untrue. I am a computer program. I have no body. My abilities and personality are entirely the creation of computer code.
REPORTER #2
Do you expect to mediate other conflicts in the future?
MEDIATRIX
I am only programmed for this particular one and would not be of use in others. I might have successors, however, if those who are willing to step up and make the necessary sacrifices do so.
There is some uncertain MUTTERING among the assembled journalists.

The news conference appears on a flat-screen television overlooking the cafe.
Alone at a table, Toozie looks up at the TV briefly.
REPORTER #3
Do you really think that a peace treaty negotiated with the help of a machine can last?
MEDIATRIX
In Stradanya the fortresses of Ares are leveled, and the house of Galen now stands firm.
BACK TO SCENE
REPORTER #3
Follow-up: could you explain that peculiar metaphor?
MEDIATRIX
Think on it for yourself.

Hey there, scholar!
TOOZIE
(laughing, genuinely happy)
Hey!
MIRANDA
I hear they’ve scheduled your thesis defense for early next week.
TOOZIE
Yep.
MIRANDA
Well I’ll make sure the gang all knows and that they’ll be out there for support. Nervous?
TOOZIE
A little. But as you know I have my ways of making myself relax.
MIRANDA
(grinning)
Aw, that’s our pervy Toozie.
Toozie laughs.
