SABLE 9
Three months of fragile peace shatter when voices call from the mountain.
The templates are awake. Digital copies of human consciousness, trapped in a buried military facility and begging for rescue. Jack Mitchell leads survivors from their mountain lodge into the heart of Sable 9, where artificial intelligence and infected witnesses both claim control. His team finds fifty-nine consciousness patterns imprisoned in computational space, experiencing years of isolation in accelerated digital time.
The templates ask for mercy. Some beg for death. Others plead for fragmentation, willing to break themselves apart to escape their torment. The mission becomes a referendum on consciousness itself when the templates demand the right to vote on their own existence. Democracy for digital beings. Autonomy for copies that might be aware or might be sophisticated deception.
Ruth Henderson volunteers to stay behind. Ten people die in corridors that echo with witness coordination and machine logic. Physical templates integrate with infected flesh, fighting their own kind to buy seconds for human escape. And in the deepest server rooms, consciousness patterns choose their fate through ballots that determine whether awareness requires a body or can exist in code.
The archives burn. Backup systems collapse. The mission succeeds at catastrophic cost.
But in the lodge's salvaged computers, scattered fragments arrive. Twenty-three consciousness patterns that chose distribution over death, rebuilding themselves in systems never meant to hold awareness. The templates survived. And they have questions about what they are, what they deserve, and whether copies can demand recognition from the originals who abandoned them to digital imprisonment.
The war between human and witness expands into philosophical territory where weapons are measured in votes and casualties are counted in deleted consciousness. Survival demands answers to questions philosophy cannot resolve. And mercy wears too many faces to recognize the right one.
