Now Bryn felt even more alarmed. "Nic, you don't know all of it. They want Panthera. And Pan's sentient. I can't explain how wonderful that is. We've always known sentience would be an emergent property, that it would appear as a whole greater than the sum of its parts, but he's so alive, so..."
"Slow down, bro," Nic said. "You're saying the AI you've been working on at ES is sentient?"
"Yes. I can't let them hand him over to CF."
"Hmm." For an awful moment Bryn thought his brother would dismiss his words, tell him he was daydreaming again. Then Nic said "it'll need careful planning. Any ideas how to make him disappear?"
"I want to give him to Ren as her birthday present."
Panthera : Death Spiral is available as an ebook and paperback from Amazon.
