Nivi Critchlow said, “How,” her voice screeched a bit, so she cleared her throat and started again, “How are we supposed to do magic when something like this is watching all the time?”
Krish Zeeb shook his head, saying, “You worry too much. Satellites have been watching us forever...”
“Yeah, government ones. This is a commercial satellite. ‘Profit knows no boundaries’. Governments have to follow laws, businesses only have to appear to. With this thing, who knows...”
Krish shook his head and dropped his tablet computer on his lap. With complex gestures he started his computer, connecting to the mundane internet instead of the broader connections of enchantnet. Hunching, he shook his head after several minutes. “Lots of mundane chatter about the good an evil of GOOGLE being able to have a peek at whomever they please.” With a different motion, he cleared the screen and shut it down. A moment later, skirls of light began to spin around the tablet. When the screen lit, it was liquid silver, rocking slowly back and forth. He swiped a finger through it, speaking a spell for his favored search engine. He spoke then typed. After a time, he looked up, “Lots of magic chatter about it as well.”
“What are we going to do?”
“What do you mean by ‘we’ and ‘do’?” he said, leaning back and squinting at her.
“We can’t just let GOOGLE take over!”
“Yes, we can.”
Nivi looked at him, scowling then finally said, “Aren’t we supposed favor good over evil?”
“‘Favor’ good, yes; fight evil, absolutely not!”
Nivi stood up and said, “I guess I’ll have to find a new best friend then.”
