***Single config entities are inherently limited in operational capability. Multiple configurations permit ANAD to effectively respond to all tactical situations more efficiently. Multiple config allows ANAD to engage adversaries in many forms, from many vectors, by changing configs. Configuration change is enhanced with new folding plane architecture, faster replication algorithms and hyper-entangled qubit design***
Reaves had to smile at that. “He sounds like a recruiter for Quantum Corps. You did all this yourself, Lieutenant?”
Winger shrugged. “Just a few hacks in my spare time. He’s like another brother now…and this one doesn’t beat on my head all the time.”
Reaves knew about the terrible accident that had taken the life of Ellen Winger. “I’m sorry about your mother, Lieutenant. Nobody should have to go through that.”
Winger shrugged. “It happened. I guess the best result of something like that is that it led me to Quantum Corps. I got tired of shoveling hay on the ranch. My Dad kind of withdrew…depression and all that. Everybody reacts differently. For me, I just decided to join the Corps…become an atomgrabber.”
“So you two can now have meaningful talks any time you want?”
“We can and we do. I’ve even programmed ANAD to start recording and parsing into voicetext some of his internal analysis of what we talk about…listen to this…I’ll download one file he did the other day—“
Winger tapped his wristpad. The swarm likeness of Doc Frost morphed slightly, grayed out as its processor recalled the file and played it. The voice was still that of a five-year old, but slightly changed in timber…more serious in tone….
