Hello everyone! Collective Thinking is at an end. A bit of a reversal compared to my previous works in many different ways. Before we get into anything more, this post will contain spoilers. If you have not read Collective Thinking and the idea of a psychic-espionage-adventure story sounds good to you, you would do well to read Collective Thinking first. Maybe my other stories…

Chapter
Dyna Graves
Dyna blinked her eyes open, feeling drowsy, dizzy, and yet unbearably alert at the same time. She tried to sit up but a hand against her chest pressed her back down. “Woah, hold on there. Take it easy. It isn’t everyday that you wake up from elective brain surgery.” Blinking a few more times cleared the fuzziness from Dyna’s eyes and brought the world into focus. The first thing she saw was herself. Not in a mirror, but in the form of DT, easily identifiable from the size difference between…-

Chapter
Onyx
Dyna looked over the longest incident report she had ever written, skimming it to check for any major errors or falsehoods while also making sure that a handful of details weren’t accidentally present. Dyna had no intentions of revealing Beatrice’s unshackled nature to the larger Carroll Institute. Neither did she intend to let them know what Id was. There were a few other items of note to be left off but those were the major ones. Removing the data drive from her terminal, Dyna stood, stretched,…-

Chapter
Administrator Alpha
Dyna didn’t sit still in the noosphere. The tulpa that had attacked Tartarus—and, likely, most other tulpa that Alpha sent out into the world—had some way of entering and exiting the noosphere effectively at will. She didn’t know whether or not Frankenstein had that ability but didn’t want to wait around and find out. It came as a small surprise that Dyna could move around. She had figured that any power disruption would have affected the Continuity Engine and it losing power would have…-

Chapter
Frankenstein’s Monster
A bead of sweat dripped down Dyna’s forehead as she slowly slid an activated blasting cap into the plastic explosive. Prior to this, it had all been fun and games. She could jostle the C4 around as much as she wished, juggle it, and even toss it against the wall in an attempt to deform it. The shadow monster lurking around put a bit of a damper on things but at no point had she been worried about blowing herself up. Now? Dyna wanted to get this over with and get away as fast as possible. She wished…-

Chapter
Composition 4
Dyna slammed the door shut to the control room, not sure if she should spin the wheel to lock it or not. If Specimen Seven followed her through the halls, it might delay it. If it went straight for the vents, it might delay her. Casting a quick glance upward, she quickly found a grate dangling from a single screw in the cylindrical ventilation shaft that ran overhead. The other screws looked like they had been ripped right out of their sockets. Leaving the door partially locked, Dyna hurried further…-

Chapter
Continuity Collapse
Knowing there was something lurking in the darkness made the tight corridors of the Psychic Detector’s underground all the more claustrophobic. Her bullets hadn’t done anything to it. Or anything obvious, anyway. That only served to make her more tense. If it did pop out of the ventilation and attack, Dyna’s only defense was to reset time and hope that changing her actions changed its actions enough that it didn’t rip her apart. This place was designed to manufacture tulpa. She couldn’t…-

Chapter
Doctor Frankenstein
The Psychic Detector looked even more imposing from the base. Craning her neck back gave Dyna a dizzying moment of vertigo before she shook the feeling off. There wasn’t time to sit around gawking. There were still tulpa around and who knew what Alpha was planning now that she had gotten out of that trap. Entering the detector superstructure felt like the kind of place that people weren’t regularly meant to traverse. The door, unlocked with her bobby pin just beyond the garage-like dock for the…-
