== Fan Theories ==
=== Tisephone lives in a far-future version of Transhuman Space ===
In the THS timeline, a group of wealthy, Neo-Christian Hyperevolutionists purchase a second-hand space station in Lagrange 5, naming it Seventh Heaven. Although they started simple, they were relatively advanced by the 2080's, utilizing AIs and Ghosts.Transhuman Space Classic, p.23 Their relative safety in orbit would protect them from a massive Earth-wide "Nanoclysm", surviving well past 2100 and into the era of TL12. Seventh Heaven is one of the most Transhumanist states in THS, so it makes sense that they'd use TL12 to make biotech "warrior angels" to save "the fallen Earth", along with Luna and Mars colonies. Furthermore, "questing" individuals from Seventh Heaven are called "angels".THS: High Frontier, p.122
Also: The final note in the Transhuman Space timeline, December 2099, states:Infomorphs at Vostok Station in Antarctica report their humans are showing symptoms of massive nanovirus infection, then go offline.Transhuman Space, p.17
==== Further Theorycraffting ====
Tisephone's surname, Logos, could be more literal than figurative--the Logos family line could be a batch of engineered humans created by the highly intelligent AI, LOGOS -- who itself published works on memetics.
== Blurbs ==
The Sandman lived near the garage district, in a decaying crawler with peeling white anti-radiation paint. He was 100 years old (didn’t look a day older than 200), stank of Tarrelian Rotgut, and his scraggly beard had more fleas than a tabby lovebot. But he had contacts from Old Terra to New Samarkand, and could peel open a compcore security lockout faster than anyone I knew. I once asked the Sandman where he got his name – it seemed odd for a netrat. Turns out computers were once made from silicon chips instead of collapsed matter. 
Fancy that.

== Trivia ==
* Tisephone Logos is an extremely Greek-sounding name. 
** Similar to "Tisiphone", one of the three Furies in Greek myth, who were sent to the world of mortals to punish those who murder.
** Logos roughly translates to "reason". In Christian theology, "Logos" represents the Word of God, a principle of "divine reason" and creative order.
* Being enhanced with TL12 biotech, Tisephone is one of the most high-tech characters in the GURPS multiverse.
