Synopsis
Seeing the future is a nuisance. Ariel does her best to shut it out, until she stumbles on a group of clairvoyants using their talents to get extremely rich. They have her attention. Then she meets a second bunch obsessed with surviving an upcoming near extinction event. Both factions seem dangerous and, to be honest, a little crazy. They don't get along. As they learn more about her, however, each group decides Ariel's particular abilities are hard to find and exactly what they need. There is no possible way to help them both. Aligning with either may be a bad idea, but staying out of this mess is no longer an option.(This is a shortened and updated version of the story originally published as d4.)
Synopsis
Cling to the edge of your seat in this high-finance, high-stakes adventure. What do we do with knowledge of the future?

Then she discovers a second collection of gifted people. They care about ensuring the survival of the human race, but that doesn't stop them from being dangerous and crazy, too. Soon Ariel becomes the object in a game of tug of war between the two groups, as they fight to have her--and her particular talents--on their side. She can't possibly help them both. Aligning with either could be a terrible idea. But how can she stay out of it when so much is at stake?
