Agency
We are the Agents Who Say “C” and you must bring us a shrubbery! A shrubbery? A shrubbery. Is that like an iPod or iPhone or iPad?

Not even a whimper. More a muted plastic click. Almost frictionless. And it was sent. Gone. Who would remember? (Even though there was an embarrassing glut of memory these days.) You could store the whole of your life in a quantum chip, but who would want a pica of those bygone analog days.

Rosebot
It is said my dying words were “Rosebot. Rosebot.” Dying isn’t an entirely accurate term these days, but I go back a long, long way before Ascendancy, before even the early days of servitors like Rosebot.

“It’s pretty, but I want to watch cartoons,” Freddy complained to his dad who was trying to point out the ethereal colors of the aurora borealis to his six-year-old son. “When are we going to be able to watch TV again? When will the computer work? I’m bored of going to bed so early. Can’t we keep the candles lit?”

Revenant
“From revenir, Starks, a return — the unexpected interruption of a journey,” she’d explained as they tracked their first rogue profile. A binary thing that wouldn’t die. The digital undead. Actual ghosts in the machine. Abandoned or deleted profiles that Faure described as evolved information seeking a way back home.

skzchnzski
He was the guy. The guy that started it all. The guy we’re not even sure was a guy after all. Skzchnzski. That was the name. The name that became the thing. The thing that changed everything.
