Green Comet

There are some types of artificial intelligence in these stories. I wish contemporary AI would tell me how realisitic they are.

There’s a stench on Green Comet, and it’s not imaginary.

This reading is chapter seventeen of The Francesians, the third book in the Green Comet trilogy. The eight haven’t even made it to the Square and already the shortcomings of the current administration are becoming pungently obvious. Things only get worse when they get there. Elgin and Fran won’t be staying in their old apartment. It’s been turned into a shrine to Saint Frances.

Green Comet has had a drop in visitors. I wonder if there are fewer AI agents with the destruction of some data centers.

Elgin and Fran, Stanton and Galatea, Buzzard and Maria, the Doctor and Nigel are the last to leave the Ball. One last look at the place that was their home for centuries.

This reading is chapter sixteen of The Francesians, the third book in the Green Comet trilogy. What was meant to be a quietly emotional departure turns into a confrontation with the gang that comes to plunder the Ball for salvage. Just how much has Green Comet been screwed up in their absence?

If AI can fill out forms on government sites, why can’t it do so here on Green Comet and Okanagan Reader?

Elgin and Fran and their people are on the final leg back to the Green Comet hexamer. What will they find?

This reading is chapter fifteen of The Francesians, the final instalment in the GreenComet trilogy. Could the regime currently in charge deliberately fail to turn on the braking laser, leaving the Ball helpless to stop? How long will it take to get used to people wearing uniforms adorned with hierarchical markings? How will they deal with an authoritarian regime?
