Be Sure To Read the Fine Print
Rob Jones presented his new app in a closed session to top executives.
Large monitors mirrored the displays of two smartphones.
“With the proliferation of contagious disease and new behavioral codes of conduct in the workplace, we’ve developed a proximity alert app.”
Rob stood a few feet away from his assistant Susan. “Susan, go ahead and run your app.”
Susan ran hers as well. “Ready.”
Rob stepped closer to Susan, and his phone buzzed, then as he closed in on her, a voice on his phone chimed-in, “Proximity too close, acceptance level required.”
Susan’s phone also buzzed and beeped, and on her display, it flashed a proximity alert saying, “Subject too close, swipe to accept.”
Susan swiped to accept, and Rob stepped toward her. They repeated the same procedure every time he came closer.
An exec in the audience raised her hand. “What happens if it’s violated?”
Rob answered, “That’s a good question. We’ve tied into the HR and management networks, and it’ll inform of ongoing violations. It’s up to your company to define the limits. But when there’s a government alert, it’ll reroute to authorities to request approval.”
“What happens if a person isn’t carrying a cell phone?” A male exec asked.
Rob responded, “This is our prototype app for the cell phone. It’ll be included on company badges that’ll know if they are being worn in the workplace.”
“What about public life?” Asked the same male exec.
Rob gestured to his assistant. “Susan, please turn off the recording equipment.”
She did so.
Rob answered, “It’s strictly off-record, but we’ve developed a system that’ll be part of everyone — for health monitoring to combat medical issues and to deal with all social matters.”
“Something ingestible?”—Asked another female exec.
Rob nodded and shook his head. “I can’t say more, just keep an eye out for swallowable devices.” He grinned and winked ... “And be sure to read the fine print.”

The Abandoned Hunter
“Dark Overlord! All hail the Dark Overlord!!!”
8 616Sovereign
Is it possible to become a supreme being? After his withdrawal from Space Forces, in which he had spent twenty years of life, Captain Sava Gromov desires an extra reason for his existence. With a vague idea of becoming a merchant, he buys a secondhand spacecraft, loads the cargo, and leaves for an adventurous journey through the Solar System. On his way, he receives an SOS coming from a damaged research spaceship. To rescue the crew in a crisis is the easier part; the harder part comes afterward. The research team discovered an abandoned weapon, originating from a forgotten empire. Unfortunately, not everyone considers the vanished empire harmless. There is an organization actively destroying its remnants. Only two choices remain for Gromov: either to die or operate the unknown weapon in a slight hope that the archaic device may deter his pursuers. Choosing the latter, Gromov assimilates with inhuman digital being into the ultimate symbiosis of the organic and digital world. The Universe turned out to be a dangerous place: full of conflicts, threatening aliens, and unpredictable twists. The unmanageable chaos dwells in desperate need of a unifying force. Will Gromov become the Sovereign of the Solar System? Or will he become the ultimate enemy of humankind? There is an official repository for Sovereign on Github. If you are familiar with Github, you can suggest your edits there.
