Chapter 53

Sunday, 13 March 2022 – 7:00 a.m. MST

Bryan had spent most of the night working. He had thoroughly reviewed all of the information from the rogue message. It contained more details about the futurestream and its implementation than he had been expecting. He had built a prototype program of his own to tap the futurestream. He reveled in his brilliance. He wouldn’t be working for Q-Morrow much longer. He would own Q-Morrow.

When a call rang in, Bryan jumped back in surprise. It was Valerie. He had been so obsessed with the work that he had lost all track of time.

“Any news of the message?” she asked.

Bryan rubbed his nose and ran his fingers through his stringy hair. “Nothing certain,” he answered. “I’ve been focusing on containment rather than investigation.”

“Quinn will be in shortly. I expect that he’ll want a better update than that. I’ll call when he arrives.”

Bryan shook his head. He had very little time to decide what to say to Quinn and Valerie. He considered the possibility that they might have been investigating it themselves. “Not likely,” he said out loud. He would have an answer for them.
