Instinct
Summary
When the Cloud came down two years ago, he decided to stay back at camp instead of run into the hills like the rest of us. We couldn't find his body when it was done, which is obvious, since we've never found a body. But it still stung. One minute granddad was there, and the next minute he was gone forever. Most people can't trust their own instincts, and I'm not sure if I'm different or if it's just my instincts trying to play a trick on me. Granddad told me stories about people long ago who used drive vehicles - apparently everyone had one - and he told me that the main problem with them was that people couldn't trust themselves enough. He said they used to crash into each other, just because people would hesitate or second-guess their decisions.

It was said to be impossible. Humanity itself may hang in the balance, and a single corporation controls its fate Artificial intelligence is everywhere - in the cars we drive, in the appliances in our homes, and in the computers we use for work and pleasure.

Near the McMurdo Station on the continent of Antarctica, a signal is seen and intercepted by a telecommunications company. They don't understand what the signal means, but whoever sent it is illegally using the company's restricted technology and satellites. Harvey "Ben" Bennett and Juliette Richardson are approached to join an expedition to Antarctica to find the source of the signal, and bring back whatever technology is hidden there.

Years later, an original copy of the plans - long thought to have been destroyed - is found, with hastily marked notations by Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. During the second World War, American military scientists discover some fascinating properties of the hydrogen atom and its link to an ancient mystical number. The exact findings are never published, but a national laboratory is built in 1943 to further their research in covert silence. America is told it is a defense project, code-named The Manhattan Project. An ego-maniacal entrepreneur and his company, Vilocorp, will stop at nothing to build the perfect human specimen. His firm's research has been getting closer every day, but they seem to have uncovered a horrific, ancient secret that has been locked away for thousands of years.
