Dear Chuck,

Welcome to your new Sovereign Home Surveillance and Defense System! I’m Sentinel, the SimpleSmart™ AI, and I’ll keep you up to date with status and activity reports. Remember, you are responsible for compliance with local law, appropriate property signage, and all mental health provisions. Defend responsibly!

Your selected installation includes FullSiege™ Battery Backup, guaranteed to last one month without external power, and your system is currently in Extended Perimeter security mode. AMANDA’S IDIOT BOYFRIEND BRIAN has been added as a non-lethal target.

It’ll come out in pieces through the week, and finish this coming Saturday, November 29th. You can sign up to their Substack publication for free, and receive short sci-fi stories serialized into bite-sized chunks, with one new story every week.
