Everything on the island capable of replication was building something, anything that could potentially be of use: churning out smart dust, compute nodes, solar panels, mesh network routers, and weapons.
A tactical coordination center had been grown into the bedrock deep in the hillside behind the house, reachable by a tunnel through layers of sandstone and limestone. Antennae had been grown everywhere, and during the night thousands of drones had distributed mesh nodes throughout the region, restoring the island’s connectivity to the global network.
Helena directed the island’s physical defenses, everything from the electric railguns and ground-based lasers to destroy incomi...ng attacks to coordinating the fleet of vessels they’d bought, stolen, or grown in the preceding weeks and stationed around the Georgia Strait and even as distant as the far side of Vancouver Island.MoreLess
