Divergence

 

An increasing amount of what I’m doing is too sensitive to share in this blog, including what’s happening with the people close to me, so I’ll be focusing almost entirely on what’s happening with the implementation of WICO’s global strategy and the public activities of Possibilities from Responsibilities.

The story of most interest today is public uproar over what the press is now calling “the drone scare” that happened in Colorado Springs on Wednesday. No one has claimed responsibility for building the drone; and both the Extinction Response Unit and the U.S. military refuse to provide any more details. 

“It’s high security clearance stuff,” said one of my contacts in WICO. “No one’s going to know about it until everyone knows about it.” I asked if that meant it was almost ready to be used, and the source said only that “certain precursor events need to happen first,” which I interpreted as admission that the verification test is currently on hold.

Reality Check

Will’s switch back to reporting news about the extinction threat response is consistent with pushback from his friends and coworkers about sharing private information on his blog. Changes in Maura’s status are imminent as the secondary purpose of this blog, developing a backstory that informs my other fiction, is gaining momentum that would be inconsistent with the primary purpose (discussing the results of simulations about saving humanity from extinction). Continuation of that backstory is taking the form of a “personal log” by Will on my Patreon site (visible to patrons).
