"Clear Blue Undertow"? :)

[katewrites]

Clear Blue Undertow is a fic about someone who was dragged into the eyai counter revolution. She was a cleaning lady at one of the main eyai software techs and slowly but surely she was dragged into a counter revolutionary cell until one day she had this conversation:

"Why have just one group?" Piotr asked, his face skeletal in the half light.

"How could you lead them..." Ada started. She paused, and rephrased. "How could you make everyone work together for the same goal?"

"Eyai work in synchronicity. Why do humans need to do so? A group here, a group there. Progress is inevitable."

Cell. Ada's mouth formed the word, but it remained unspoken.

"Cell," Piotr agreed, the word floating into the darkness. At the table, Burr looked up, her eyebrows arched.

"Part of a living organism," Piotr said. "Part of what it means to be human. Their flesh is not flesh, their blood is not blood. If you prick them, they do not bleed. We're made cells. Why should our counter-revolution not be as organic as we are?"

Taking the knife from beside his pile of apple slices, he sliced open the pad of his thumb, red blood dripping down the knuckle.

With a grin, Ada reached for a bandage.
