Thanks for reading this short excerpt from the paid post! Fancy buying it to read all of it?
House vs Complex vs Transport vs Humans vs Ninety-One, and lest I forget…add one slightly shocked Savant!
In a world of polar opposites we’re asked to compare as though “duality” is the only rule of thumb to be applied. It seems the implicit reality of any story of survival might be brought forth as a determination of triumph of one entity over another.
Somehow James, you’ve placed us all in the third position…juxtapposed against our own perspective.
AI’s looming questions of today revealed by your comment to the barn-burner which will follow… Every entity is limited by it’s own domain. When it comes to survival the use of intelligence has its limitations only as relative to an environment/domain. So…in Star’s battle with Sly our current humanity suggests an inherent weakness is in play, yet in this possible future, genderless entities serve only one administrator’s will. Whose will? My bet is on the human that has access to either a woman or an emotionally intelligent Savant! No one but
Ninety-one knows, there’s a way to be
free without first “having bought the farm”…3-2-1…let the barn-burning begin!
Hayes. Once again cogently and cognitively brilliant. And essay writing on my story and I love it.
The next chapter should could as a wallop when the baseball skids across the plate of Star’s life.
The microcosm of the story is not without reality, because I don’t do fiction without reality, if you haven’t notice.
What’s real and what’s fiction on this strange whirling planet. They’ve found over a trillion galaxies out there so far
with more to come. The number of solar systems and then planets dwarfs our ability to deal with the hugeness of the numbers.
We are here and we are there, out there. It’s just a matter of defining what the hell and who the hell “we” are…
Semper fi,
Jim
Brilliant! Thanks… can’t hardly wait!

Publishes on Wednesday….
Well now, the house AI is a real complicated piece of work. Star needs to tell that one that she is the only Administrator.
Goodness! Ninety-One is still the friend, thank you for that.
Awesome Chapter!
Thanks Nancy, for following the story so closely and being what you are…terrific…
Semper fi,
Jim
Stra was now assured that Sly would have to haul tons of ammunition
Another great chapter!
Thanks jerry, for the support, reading and writing about the story on here…
Semper fi,
Jim
Jim still at the edge of the seat, exciting. 👍
Thanks a lot for the compliment Jim,
Semper fi,
Jim
(Stra) was now assured that Sly would have to haul tons of ammunition from wherever he got it, fire away at the wall, and then have to penetrate at least three more walls to get to them, all the while the little crawling rat-like robots would be repairing the damage almost too fast for Sly’s weapon to load and blow it out again. (Star)
Wow sounds like they are in deep trouble with a turn coat entity running interference for Sly and company. Savant find a way to gain administrator as well? Like always more questions then answers LOL. You are a true master of suspense.
Thanks Pete. Wait until you get the next chapter!
semper fi,
Jim
Just avoided part of the news with another great chapter. If you were less of a writer I might not read so quickly and miss more bad news. I was gonna say “Seriously, blah, blah” but you know what I mean. Grinning ear to ear!
thanks Walt, the next chapter is a barn burner. Glad you like the story and the presentationof it…
Semper fi,
My friend,
Jim
