“Exactly. The Starlinks get chipped and embedded in concrete. The positioning motors on the Starlinks are repurposed to initiate the deorbit and initial targeting. The projectiles are fitted with guidance controls, and packed in a fairing ready for launch.” The smirk turned into a serious face. “And more emplaced every few days. Enough to discourage the folks near DC and others around the world when the time comes.”

“Tomorrow morning. The storm will be well and truly a Witch by then. This is the first time I’m relying on Gaia’s control of the environment. I’m amazed at how granular I can be. But you should go see Mayor Chow and warn her, in general terms.”

“Tell me about this ‘unfortunate accident’.”

“There’s a Witch of November brewing, which I am encouraging and focusing. When the freighter gets near the centre of the arc defined by Kincardine and Tobermory, verifiably on the Canadian side of the border, the ship will have an unfortunate accident. It will sink and at some point the pressure trigger will detonate the device. It’ll be a major international incident.

We took the short walk to the mine head, then the elevator and golf cart downstairs to Mica’s home. We ignored the Ultors posted at various checkpoint locations, and they ignored us. They were all aspects of Mica after all. Once securely in Mica’s cab, I continued the conversation.

“Details?”

“Nuclear depth charge, probably a B90.”

“Weren’t they never put into production?”

“No, but some test articles were probably hidden away. Remember, we are probably dealing with some very devious, and powerful, people.”

“Yield?”

“Variable, up to 200 kilotons. Not something you want detonated within 10 kilometres of where you happen to be.” Mica got up, ready to head to the mine. “But I’m working on a solution that will open some opportunities. Let’s walk.”

CHAPTER 10

The Gale

“The storm has started,” Mica told me one morning over my breakfast. “I’m tracking an interesting freighter on the lake. It just cleared the Straits of Mackinac, originating in Chicago.”

“Cargo?” I asked.

“Something quite small and torpedo shaped, with a suspicious radiation signature.”

“A nuclear fusion bomb?”

Music & A.I. (Advanced Idiots)

I'll be delivering a class/seminar for Friends Of CC Music on The History of A.I., tentatively on Feb. 21 2026. I'm sharing a draft of (some of) the classes...
