As you know while we have an ending we are making the chapters up as we go. Typically we start with what we need to achieve in the chapter, explain that to the characters and just let them go. Through some magical process, we don't understand this almost always makes a chapter which provides something new and pushes the plot forward. Yeah even if you don't notice. Chapters which don't advance the plot are typically junked. Anything that stands between Jenny and Rockwood, needless description, texture, useless conversation, or new cool technology is ruthlessly crossed out.

But as you know we like breaking rules, for example beginning a sentence with 'but'. Or breaking the show not tell rule in chapter 1 ( yeh it was deliberate guys, we did it because it was funny). For some reason we quite like this chapter, but it's against all our rules. You know what if you skip this chapter nothing will go wrong. The book will still end in the same way ( which is normally a sign that something is superfluous and needs to be deleted). So sorry to go all Peter Jackson on you and give you the extended edition before you have even seen, like the 90 minute cut. Think of it as a Thanksgiving treat. Like cranberry sauce, you don't need it but it's fun. ps. unlike Lord of the Rings we promise there will only be one ending. You will know it when you see it. It's big and it's got werewolves, zombies, unicorns and ballet in it.

OK so read this chapter here - before it maybe gets moved to deleted scenes.

Oh and when to get to cities in Germany it might sound better if you read it out aloud. It will sound funnier as a radio play or an audiobook.

Video: In case you haven't met a biohacker this is Amie. She melted a Tesla entry card and inserted the wires into her body ( so she can open the car using her hand). 

Washington 2.0/hyptertrain station.

Jenny's POV.

'Whr r v going?' I texted Rockwood from my collar as we stepped into the hypertrain.

"This is the route to the ceremonial capital called Stellavista." Rockwood began "When the machines were trying to decide where to put the capital of the world they came down to a choice between Washington 2.0 and Stellavista. Region 334 [ Nebraska ] was more central but region 344 [ Wyoming ] was neatly square and the Robots liked that. It was a long hard difficult discussion but as the librarians say the harder something is to decide the less it matters."

"Librarians say that?.. Master.. " I said aloud

"They used to before they called themselves information retrieval experts" he added. 'When the nuclear power plant got hacked by Anonymous it was a good excuse to do the outdoor stuff in Stellavista." Rockwood texted back.

Outside sounded good. That had 'escape' or at worst case 'scouting out escape' written all over it.

We sat down on the seats in the hypertrain, well he sat like the other slaves, I got the floor. There were a number of robots shiny in their best bodies on the train all accompanied by a pet human slave or two. Further up the train, I saw Lady Zola staring at us. She came up and talk to Rockwood but kept glancing at me.

"3000 that's my best and final offer. No one has ever paid that much for one before " she said to Rockwood.

"Thanks but nay thanks," said Rockwood quickly and politely. That shut Zola up and she flounced off in disgust.

'what was that about?' I texted.

'Property deal I don't want to do. Does she look any different to you? asked Rockwood via encrypted text message.

I looked at her she was wearing some fabulous flouncy outfit, but it was still her.

'No' I texted back.
