Jane Adeline Jones was 27 and has already been evaluated as an adult by both State and Federal governments. Not a probationary adult. Full adult. She was even allowed to drive during the day.
As a Level 4 Artificial Learning engineer with Gamazo people always assumed that she was a Perfect. She wasn’t. She was a hard working proletariat.
“That’s actually a funny way to put it” she thought to herself as the words came out of her mouth. “Hard working proletariat”. Not perfect. Just hard working. “Interesting concept” she thought and stuck a fork in a salad bowl.
The salad was a 13 out of 10. The restaurant could do better. The sauce was a solid 15, the bread here was always over 100. But the lattice was soggy. Could it evaluate to less the 100%? She, obviously, wasn’t certified to evaluate that but Danny was. “Danny, what you think of the lattice?” she asked. Danny looked up from his own bowl of salad and gave her a thoughtful stare. She put her head down and kept munching.
It was a nice day. The sky was blue. The sun was warm. Warm but not too warm. “17 at least”. Jane cleared her mind and laid back, as she waited for Danny to answer. “Life was good with high probability of getting better” she thought. She smiled. Closed her eyes.
When she opened them again, Danny has yet to answer. Instead there was a man standing there right in front of her.
