Username & Signature

My username NervousEnergy was taken from

Iain M. Banks‘ The Culture
.

Among the quiet stars in the cast of his novels are the

self-aware infrastructure of The Culture. Some of them are starships and among those it's a custom to choose witty names for themselves. One of these Ships is the GCU[1] Nervous Energy, who appears at the beginning of the novel Consider Phlebas
.

My signature xGCU NervousEnergy is a reference to the communication between those ships, as it is rendered in the novel Excession. The prefix "x" signifies the sending ship, the receiving ship is prefixed with an "o":

Is it just me, or does something smell suspicious about all this?
