The First Female President of the United States
Beverly Wilshire, President of the United States
Pal of the Superintelligence
2028 The Year It Happens. A woman becomes President.
Now it's 2030, and something extraordinary occurs. LUCAS emerges. Luckily our President is a bundle of intelligent competence. Here's a glimpse of President Wilshire in action with Lucas looming on the scene.
Just Another Little Oval Office Meeting
In the White House the Oval Office was being transformed according to Lucas’s specs. Dozens of techs scurried in and out, setting up a crescent of very large 12K screens. President Wilshire sat at Resolute and powered through piles of papers, the new Chief of Staff Matt Grievly leaning over one shoulder, a secretarial anthrobot Norris over the other, both answering staccato questions from the President as she signed, scratched comments and in general flew through what passed for mundane duties for the Chief Executive.
“Gotta keep the trains running,” she frequently said, handling her routine duties with more efficiency and fewer missteps than any President in a long while.
And what kind of woman might she be, professionally and experientially? Can she successfully deal with a world-changing superintelligence?
Fifty year old Beverly Wilshire, President of the United States, ex-Mayor of San Francisco, ex-F-22 pilot, was pushing herself toward 160 pulse rate on her custom designed Multi, a gift from Lucas. Sweating, breathing hard and grinning as she did toward the end of every workout, she said,
“Lucas. T-1000,” her call code for the supe. If he showed up every time she mentioned his name without the code, rumors would start about their relationship. She talked about him a lot.
President Beverly Wilshire is a main character in Lucas 2.0. Impressive lady.
