Chapter 8 Summary
Beauregard Williams dream, he resolves to "make it right".
Guy and Wonk are together, watch Wonk's porch patrol home defense robot use the robodog interference techniques against a would be robber.
"Package insurance" as soon a porch patrols take off, someone comes up with exploding packages. These leads to a pale imitation of Circle neighborhood community protection, something more like paying organized crime for insurance.
Wonk visits Up and Out Ellisville. He was introduced to the program by Yolanda, but can see it as a major business that he wants to be involved with, personal security. Wonk "gets it" with the concept of the PSE, (Physical Security Expert). Wonk mentally reinforces the connection with the scene in the Godfather where Don Corleone is left alone, but Michael discovers him and via Sonny calls in private investigators. He is also becoming familiar with the euphemism, general population, (a very bad place to be).
Wonk makes the connection between Up and Out and the reduction of federal taxes for local fire and law enforcement, as well as medical services and education. Increasingly that is the responsibility of the locale needing the services. Increasingly, Circle neighborhoods are the place to be.
Gizmo and Traveler in Hawaii. Traveler is trying to book a tour, while still remaining on the down low, Gizmo tosses him a burner phone. Traveler tries to make contact with Wonk and Guy, but there is some kind of emergency, the normally very together Rhea is freaking out.
Bandi Boy saves the miniature horse. There is something very incomplete about the picture, it was a Circle house, how did Bandi know, why did it matter. The whole event was a psychic disturbance, Guy, even though he is Rhea's son is the least impacted, sometimes deafness is a blessing.
Wonk relays his observations on Up and Out to Traveler, right down to the Fat Jack incident. Traveler had known Up and Out was hardcore, but not that hardcore.
Wonk works with Eve.AI to write Fortia a song, plays it for her on their one month dating.
Flat Earth party is lightly referenced, we learn they favor climate change denial and have lost their way in terms of their own party values. They are using H Coin because it is difficult to trace even though they tend to be opposed to HNMNBie values.
Call for help to Angelica for more robots to be deployed to the Kamchatka peninsula, she hadn't been paid before, that is remedied and she learns they are being operated by Blue Crescent.
In Madagascar is Smynerrat is freed from a robotrap. That is only possible with tools. Then they traps start disappearing, they are being used in the development of weapons.
Back on North shore, Gizmo and Traveler have the "Catholic Mother Mary" discussion. We learn Gizmo is ill, Pedro is not walking with the Lord. Gizmo shares his dream of a floating town in Louisiana, Traveler decides he is in.
Robust organizational meeting. The president and congress have failed us.
