Machine (Newtons Sleep)

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
You may be looking for Ace.

Mademoiselle Machine was a whore at the Cunicularii who was very selective in who she would fuck, most often pretending she was unable to speak English, reading instead the French tarot.

When she drew cards for Nate Silver, she identified herself with the Ace of Swords and him with the Magician. She brought him upstairs for sex, and Silver died a few minutes later. (PROSE: Newtons Sleep [+]Loading...["Newtons Sleep (novel)"])

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]

Mademoiselle Machine is implied to be Time's Vigilante Ace long after the Virgin New Adventures, with "Machine" being what "McShane" sounds like in her bad French accent. Among various hints, Machine relates to Nate Silver on preferring to use a short nickname instead of a real name; the tarot card representing Machine is the "Ace" of Swords, which depicts a hand holding up a sword (as Ace did in Battlefield); and a young girl in the streets near the Cunicularii is seen imitating the revving of a motorcycle.
