Plot
This story portrays Susono Musubi, a young police officer in a post-apocalyptic subterranean city that's thriving with activity, who is investigating recent child abductions. She finds a heavily toned down, sword-like Gravitational Beam Emitter as well as other elements that take different forms in the later publication (for example, Silicon life).
gollark: I'm not sure I'd call that general intelligence.
gollark: AI can't really match humans at general intelligence tasks which we have to think hard about. It absolutely can do much of what we *intuitively* do - categorising cats and dogs, basic language processing, whatever - and nobody is flying planes by manually reasoning through the physics of their actions.
gollark: If they're inferring that from observations of some form, so can a computer system.
gollark: How is a human sensing that exactly?
gollark: Armchairs are easy. Just install balloons.
