Certain Hypothetical // Critical Contingencies — James Litherland

EVERYTHING changes when FURC Director Jonathan Miles seals the fourteen square mile compound home to the Federal University and Research Complex and the community that supports it, cutting them all off from the slowly crumbling civilization on the outside -- and making them a target of those who want the facilities for themselves.

The director's daughter Katherine returns to work for FURC Security with a promotion because of the crisis, eager to face any challenge -- but as tensions among the residents rise, she encounters greater peril than she had imagined.

David Belue gives up his classes to help install additional defenses, but his curiosity leads him to discover a threat inside the community, endangering his life -- because an enemy within waits for just the right moment to betray them all.
