Episode 7: The Last Compact - Brian Rappatta

The parent company is pulling its funding from the database of gods. All of the museum exhibits and their artificial intelligences will be shut down; all employees assigned to the project are relocating to Mars. For the child of two employees, this means losing a best friend—unless it’s possible to sneak Sancus' code out of the database before they leave. See how this God-heist unfolds in “The Last Compact,” from Analog’s January/February 2021 issue, read and written by Brian Rappatta.
