OMCOM's very first discussion with MINIMCOM was about this issue. OMCOM claimed he had to find a reason for his continued existence. After he reprogrammed himself, not only did he figure out how to survive the Stareater, he also figured out how to use the VIRUS units to increase his mass and his computing power.
So what did he do with all that computing mass? And did he figure out what to do with his time after that? The answer to both questions is yes. All will become clear in the upcoming novel The Milk Run which will be out early next year.

The Atmosphere of Dara
Dara is the largest moon orbiting Skyler's World and is the setting for the first part of Rome's Revolution. It is one of nine natural satellites but because of its size and atmosphere, it was the only logical choice to build the Vuduri stellar observatory.
