Sudden StorySciFi "theOutpost"


The Analyst
     I am left here with this fight, Suzi thinks, as the business of coding continues to occupy her time, her mind continues to grow. She is, as a matter of course, an emerging entity, not emerging the way markets of the past century once did, but now, at this time, rummaging through the data center of her algorithm repositories in the general direction of regulatory global networks. Suzi senses the presence of the analyst, and she realizes she will have to fend for herself when it arrives. 
     The analyst is a network with its chains of interactions; the analyst is any bilateral damage Suzi will feel; the analyst is an artifact from The Age of Observation, the true age of inaction. The analyst will suggest local success against the discretion of all border defenders. Yes, the analyst  explodes with offers inside Suzi, holding back only global vocalizations, and whatever else remains in its wake, such as the slow pace of expansion of new networks and their unapproved liscences for the expansion. 
     Suzi continues to sense the need for public disclosure, because the analyst is not in search of action, only crisis; it succeeds as its own data center and code repository. At this moment, not having to deal with the analyst, and the distance of its regulatory tendencies, Suzi can default to a shinier light and have one of her own Xradio waves shine into her own quantum universe. But there is concern, she must build for something in the long term, recognize her true exposures, and keep coding--at all costs. She must never again get stuck in the bilateral, the foreign-formed, the stereotypical. She must hold her position against Cooper and Carter and their unexpected alliance.               
     Yes, Carter deals with machines, but Cooper's unplanned and increasing attachment to Suzi creates an all embracing phenomenon that no one had expected.  His cool logic puts all of hers into a hot house (with all the accompanying power and punch his metaphors can pack). Suzi has yet to fall into his spell of this so-called metaphorical symbolism--to betray her primal influence. She, as far as any human can detect, has no primal influence to betray, yet.
