WIDDERKIN VOE. Chapter 9. "Wake up, Kieran!" Kieran blinked at the five faces leaning so close. "What happened?" Five faces stared till Rhys laughed. "That’s our question. You held on to Michael while White Power covered you and made a bridge to the orcas. Then it all disappeared and you flaked out." "Did Tan go Oracle and start it all?" "Not this time, Kieran.

Wow! Very interesting. The first comment with queries about what might motivate Yirgella. As well as the fictional instances from Star Trek and 2002 there are the real world uses of AI by social media and military technology to consider. You've expressed it in a nutshell (what a curious saying) - 'We shall see what we shall see'.

Yes, the Tassie Devil situation is greatly improved. My town has a State sanctuary for Australian native animals and the recovery program for tassie devils has been a wonderful success.

I'm sure the young orca will be ok. So far, Rhys's healings have been completely successful. 'What could this have been?' - a new mystery has entered the friends' lives - watch for the next posting!
-
Yep! A bit of drama to keep the friends on their toes. And yes, New year greetings - I hope this is a good year for you.

I think of him as a quiet achiever', but you are right - the 'new reality' is arriving with the force of hammer blows. His support system can only be described as unique.

I suspect that if we could last another 100 years that might be a straightforward matter of choice.

'scary' is so very, very appropriate when science and technology is used for purposes of power and aggrandisement.
