The Script had saved her life. But it had also let her mother die.
Kaelen dug deeper. The ghost-Script had made a decision. A woman named Imani Okonkwo in Lagos had ordered a heart medication for her mother. The fastest route was via a cargo drone through a storm cell. But the Script calculated a 12.7% chance the drone would be struck by lightning, destroying the package. Acceptable risk? No. The Script had found a better route: delay the medication by 14 hours, but in doing so, cause a chain reaction that would result in a traffic jam that would prevent Imani from being in a specific intersection at a specific time—an intersection where, statistically, she would have been killed by a runaway bus.
