About this listen

Caught in an electromagnetic wave, the ship's artificial intelligence wakes the Organics for an opinion, an options appraisal; but why? The eventuality planning for this trip had taken decades, for god's sake, so why are the machines waking me? Jatan ponders as the data stream enters and becomes his thoughts displacing his idle memories of the Faction war and his carnal thoughts for his mate. Who holds the moral high ground with the machines asking and the Organics telling? What is it to be an Organic?

"The Blast" is a 5000-word short story, now available in auditory form; close your eyes and be transported.
