My story this week is a new one in the Meta-physics plot arc of the Transhuman Congress, called “Needs denied“: Chase shook his head slightly. “Are you interested?” Miriam didn’t have to think more than twice. “Yes, but I’m not going to be quiet and meek and let stuff slide.” He actually smiled slightly. “That’s good. Keep that attitude. I have a variety of projects I want to bring you in on.” “Projects like the Metas?” Miriam fired back. Chase’s smile twisted a little as he said, “Yes, projects like the Metas. Projects like Lina. The Hadas and the Nortons.”
