flash fiction-mysticSciFi "The Outpost"


Suzi, he thinks, will will alter her code for some reason that seems, to humans, like a small point, her experimental hypothesis will go not as planned, her mainframe jurisdiction will refuse to answer a simple request about her Compu-helio improv compressor (C.H.I.C.) module. The aim will be to disable a context of herself in the machine; to get her to believe that, for her, the work at this outpost is just as important as the work out there at the Event Horizon.

     Cooper walks  through the laboratory door.  He has the sensation of full command mode over Suzi. The station is under some form of surveillance--yet to be identified.                                                                                                It was beyond being a passive problem now. Cooper needed to talk to the number one machine. He had a few questions for her, face to face.
