Fans’ Agents had done countless visualisations, 4D printed countless thoughts. They’d accessed data from official – and many unofficial – sources. They’d run rumours through their algorithms, stress-testing Truths and truths. Countless megawatts had been spent imagining the future. The Agents’ humans were at it too. Watercooler conversations on Office Day, ideas and theories shared on public and private networks all fueled the conversation. There were only a few who knew. They watched the momentum growing. They didn’t need to intervene, interrupt. They just waited. They’d done their work. It was ready. Someone or something just had to decide on a date.
