Fabienne #2

"I drift awake, feverish from troubled dreams, scratching at the roof of the cramped sleeping coffin in the cube hotel in which I had taken refuge, the gray light filtering through the thin, translucent Lucite walls. I kick open the door at the foot of the tube and squeeze out cautiously. I check my credstick and curse that I don't have the creds to buy a clone, and eye my surroundings half with fear, half with desperate hunger -- hunger for life, for survival at any cost. My complant was triggering my brain's communication bank and I activate it with a thought to access the day's incoming messages. Memories of last night come flooding back to me and I replay the scene in my mind, trying not to allow it to interfere with my thought-connection to the matrix."

"Fabienne Sintes, a reporter for France-Inter, France’s equivalent to “National Public Radio,” also will be observing the changing of the guard. Sintes said she is interested to see how it will differ to have a Republican back in the White House.

Sintes spent much time in Florida during the election saga. Although people are still upset about the election turnout, they are finally accepting the reality, she said.

“It’s interesting to see that people have such faith in the Constitution,” Sintes said. “But they also respect the Constitution. In France there would have been a major revolution if this had happened.”"
