Grandma Carter and her Chinese and Russian counterparts killed a lot of Rogue AIs at Singapore. Their strike teams and the AIs that fought with them breached Singapore’s defenses and helped destroy the entire nest. Burned it all the way down to the silicon. Then they partied like warriors who had gone through hell together and walked out the other side. Not a one of them wanted to fight the others, and they made certain to report that fact to their superiors. And their superiors were quick to report how helpful all their counterparts had been in saving the world to their superiors back home. Grandma really just wanted to go home. She’d gotten way too close to dying more times than she could count with her boots on, and she wanted peace. She got it.

Grandma Carter was ready to shoot down a whole mess of Chinese soldiers in Indonesia when the AI Council showed up calling for a truce. They had intel about a nest of Rogue AIs in Singapore, including all their plans. They were trying to start World War III. Trying to get us to kill each other so they could take over the ruins. So Grandma asked her counterparts, in perfect Chinese, if they wanted to join her in killing some Rogue AIs. It wasn’t just the Chinese that took her up on the offer. The Russians were real happy to shoot any Rogue AI they could find, and they came ready to rock and roll. The most elite Special Forces teams in the world fought side by side at Singapore, and the relationships they built doing that have not faded over the centuries.

Lockdowns

Most of us in America were in the middle of government lockdowns right now three years ago. Each State’s lockdowns were different. Minnesota’s ended quicker than many, and we never had the lockdown police dragging people off to jail in my experience. But part of the lockdowns were targeted directly at me. I sold my home. The people paying stopped paying me, so I had them evicted. Judge order and everything. Eviction to be executed on March 20, 2020. The lockdowns did not allow me to execute the eviction, allowing them to stay in my house for months, building up thousands of dollars in utilities that I had to pay because I was the homeowner. This was government mandated and supported theft, and I expect similar mandates in future government lockdowns.

Grandma Carter and her strike team volunteered to join the fleet that went out to face the Chinese over their expansion towards Australia. They stood with other Americans, Australians, and a menagerie of various refugees from across South East Asia, and met the Chinese over and around Indonesia. They drew a line across those islands and she’s often told me that she was real certain there was going to be war. She and her strike team performed more than one act of war during that standoff, and her counterparts on the other side did as well. Everyone knew it was coming. China was never going to stop if the Western powers didn’t MAKE them stop. History would turn out to be rather different than anyone expected.
