More About My New Novel The Prodigal Band Aftermath: The Plot to Take Over the World Using Artificial Intelligence Apps and Operating Systems (Part One)

It has been over two months since my last post! Sorry about that, but I have been busy—camping/fishing trip, visiting a chiropractor in El Paso because I developed lower back and thigh pain while on the trip and even before it, birthdays, chores, and more. And also, finding the inspiration for the new novel overall plot with spiritual overtones as to how digital IDs and artificial intelligence (AI) is affecting life on Earth today….and all the posts online claiming we may be entering ‘the end times’….and fake this and fake that.

I had stated that it crossed my mind that the powers-that-be might be trying to configure a fake ‘rapture’ where fake bodies are seen heading into the clouds ‘to meet the Lord in the air’ (1Thessalonians 4:15-16) while believers on Christ are ‘left behind’ to wonder why they weren’t ‘caught up in the clouds.’ That way, Christians who believed in a ‘pre-trib rapture,’ not being caught up, would renounce their faith in Christ—which is exactly what the forces of evil want!

However, the notion of fake rapture is not going to be featured in the new novel. But the now infamous World Economic Forum saying telling us ‘useless eaters’ that “You will own nothing and be happy” does play into the plot.

In the novel, an evil corporation which (not too ironically considering the mess that Microsoft’s Windows 11 has become thanks to its ‘recall’ AI app which lets Microsoft control pretty much the entire computer device, and Apple’s Mac operating system isn’t much better…and Linux? Hmmmmm…..)…well this evil corporation called Origin, having designed a new operating system as the others have collapsed (remember, this is fiction…I’m not browbeating Microsoft or Apple or Linux or any other system for real…I still use Windows 10, okay?)…the collapse being fictional…has actually in fiction bought out the other companies such that Origin’s operating system was the only viable one around. The time frame in the following post is late 2025.

The snippet below (copyright © 2025 Deborah Lagarde) features Morwenna, former (and future as well) spirit being who communicates with the Tooters angels to message those she is told to message, such as the members of the prodigal band and other ‘missionaries of God.’ Morwenna, now fully human again (ordained by God), becomes employed by Origin since, having lived over 800 years as various humans in various nations, she is fluent in several other languages, thus Origin needs her as a translator and interpreter. Another woman, Rita, is her boss. Both are Christians. Then there is Dumlat, head of Origin and creator of various gaming and other applications since childhood years, and is from a very powerful ‘elite’ family. In the snippet below, Dumlat appears to consider Morwenna a key and valuable employee, not realizing Morwenna’s employment ‘mission’ was to infiltrate the company to find out what they were up to. Below is Part One of the snippet that deals with ‘the Plan’ Dumlat and his evil ‘elite’ cohorts have devised to enslave humanity into what I might call their ‘beast system.’

 

Origin Company, near Richmont, October, 2025

 

“Your resume’ speaks perfect for the job you will be assigned to here at Origin, Morwenna.”

Rita, assistant supervisor for Origin’s Human Resources Department, smiled from her desk as she told Morwenna her job as language interpreter within the same Human Resources Department was assured.

“Thank you. My knowledge of twelve foreign languages comes from my having lived all over the world my entire life.”

 

True, for while her time as a human instead of a ‘spirit being’ lasted over 800 years, Morwenna lived in France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Greece, Turkey (the Ottoman Empire days), Russia (during the time of Catherine the Great), China, India, and Arabia, besides Britain and America.

 

As for her resume’, it was ‘drawn up’ by the Tooters, who also placed her within walking distance of Origin hours before the job interview. Origin was ten miles north of Richmont, California, USA.

 

Rita continued. “And I love the fact that both your Digital Technology and your Foreign Language degrees are from Oxford University. I spent a summer there, taking two courses in foreign language—Arabic and Hebrew.”

“Hebrew, eh?” Morwenna burst out loud. “I really wanted to learn that ancient language.”

Eyes open wide. “Bible studies?” Rita followed with her own burst.

“True, which was a reason I also learned Greek.”

For the Old Testament was originally in Hebrew while the New Testament was originally in Greek.

Rita screwed her eyes on Morwenna. “Are you Christian?”

“Yes.”

Smile. “Well, so am I, Morwenna, and likely we may be the only Origin employees who are Christian. Most here are secular. The owner, Dumlat, has no religion, either.”

Morwenna cocked her head. “Will I meet Mr. Dumlat?”

Smile. “Yes, shortly, as he will introduce himself to all new employees later this afternoon in the conference chamber down the hall from here. You are one of twenty new employees, and you need to learn more about Origin.”

“Yes.”

Rita stood up behind her desk. “We here at Origin are setting ourselves up to become THE origin of audio and visual artificial intelligence software and applications in a world where more and more humans are becoming dependent on technological artificial intelligence communication and computer-generated images and graphics. Dumlat has been producing computer-generated images and videos since the age of ten, and he and I have worked together on building this company since our teen years, beginning when we both attended Stanford University and then Cal Tech.”

Morwenna stood up. “Then you are both about the same age.”

“Dumlat is thirty and I am twenty-nine.”

“Are you both from this area?”

Laugh. “I am from Richmont, but he is from Texas—where, by the way, Origin plans to relocate to sometime next year. Less bureaucratic mumbo-jumbo in Texas.

 

It would be when Origin moved to Austin, the state capital, that Morwenna would resign from the company.

 

Later, as Dumlat spoke of Origin to the New Employees

 

“You all here have joined us here at Origin to partake in a mission I am sure you have all wanted to participate in—the mission being to see all of humanity in a state of happiness and ultimate satisfaction. For we are here to help humanity live fulfilled, happy lives as we provide the tools all humans can use to bring about their happiness as they participate in creating their happy and satisfied living world. No matter what state of being a person lives in at the time, we must provide the tools for all persons to create for themselves their happy world. We will provide for each individual person the tools they will need for a happy and satisfied existence, tools that being part of a social group of fellow humans cannot provide. For the person, not the social group, will choose the happiness the person seeks.

“And what are these tools? Applications that the person chooses to create the world the person chooses—images that create the reality the person seeks, amplified by sounds the chosen applications create to enhance the images. Further, social groups of individuals working together can accomplish the same ideal for their group, for their happiness.”

And on and on, until Dumlat ended his presentation thusly—

 

“Therefore, fellow new employees here at Origin, you are partaking in making all human individuals and social groups live in the world they choose to create for themselves using Origin applications you will help design and build—for a happier world, for a happier humanity.”

 

Then the thirty-year-old man dressed in a cotton-with-leather suit and leather shoes, fair-skinned with straight-dark-brown hair to the back of his neck along with facial mustache, standing at about six feet tall, greeted each new employee.

He smiled as he approached Morwenna, and then said to her, “Welcome, Morwenna—”

“You know my name?”

“Indeed. You will be a very key employee, knowing several languages. After all, my dear, our apps will be applied world-wide, and, of course, in several different languages. You, my dear, are totally essential in our mission.”

Morwenna, wanting to appear to be enraptured in Dumlat’s so-called mission, bowed her head, then said, “And I will help bring about the mission.” Father God’s mission, that is, to counter your devilish mission, that is!

Coming soon, I hope, will be Part Two, which is pretty much the rest of Chapter Two of The Prodigal Band Aftermath, where Dumlat holds a secret meeting with his cohorts and key shareholders to work out ‘the Plan.’

An Introductory Look into My Up-Coming Novel, the Prodigal Band Aftermath

Beginning tomorrow, Sunday, September 7, 2025, I will be “away from computer” several days, so I wanted to post an introductory look into my up- and-coming novel based on both The Prodigal Band Trilogy and The Murder Rule. Broadly, the entire novel will feature the outcomes of the members of the prodigal band Sound Unltd as to their given missions-of-God, and the “aftermath” of those mission outcomes. Various so-called “end times” “prophetic” scenarios play somewhat into the novel, but I cannot say for sure what “the great tribulation” in the Book of Revelation will look like or when it will happen–only God knows for sure. I do not….but, I can speculate…. And since so many big tech oligarchs seem to be in play these days with their artificial intelligence (AI) programs, it seems to me that these folks and their programs (including that abomination called ‘transhumanism’…like the Days of Noah as Christ mentioned in various Gospels, when fallen angels mated with the daughters of men to produce ‘giants’ (aka nephalim)….not exactly human, right?)….these folks and their programs will likely play out in the actual “end-times.”

In the following snippet that opens Chapter One is included the novel’s narrator, pop culture pundit Lloyd Denholm (who narrated The Prodigal Band) and the prodigal band’s manager, Joe Phillips, under a fake name since he faked his own death in Part Three of The Murder Rule. The time-frame is the present: September, 2025. The snippet is below, and the event harkens back to the opening of The Prodigal Band, a jet explosion that the prodigal band survived–only this time, the outcome of a similar explosion was different. Below is the snippet (© 2025 Deborah Lagarde):

Richmont, California, September, 2025

I, Lloyd Denholm, was about to turn on the television for the nightly news as I finished preparing my supper of fried fish and crisps, when my phone rang—I still had a land-line phone.

“Hello,” I answered.

“It’s me, Joe,” the supposedly ‘dead’ Joe Phillips responded.

“Where are you, Mr. R?” For Joe had adopted the spy-agent moniker Agent R.

“At the usual place.” Meaning, his flat he shared with his former personal assistant, Swinton, within London.

“So, Joe, what’s happening?”

“You’ll find out!” he laughed with a shout of mystery. “I am sure the news will have a very interesting story which might remind you of an event back in July, 2001. You know what I’m saying!”

My mind reeled. Oh God, no!

“Yes, I will watch the news, and it should be about ready now.”

Joe rang off.

I nervously turned on the news.

“…over the Irish Sea on the way to Belfast where they would headline a Christian charity concert festival to aid Child Finders in locating missing children. Their Cessna was approximately twenty kilometers from the Ulster coastline when the plane suddenly exploded with debris crashing into the waters. Along with the pilots, none of Sound Unltd survived…”

Devastation clawed at me. I knew this would eventually happen! Then I heard the news desk co-anchor chime in. “This reminds me of what happened to their 757 jet when it landed at a London airport in 2001 and a bomb went off.”

Her desk mate replied, “Only this time, they would not survive the explosion.”

And on and on, as I rang Joe back up.

“So, Joe, did you suspect this would happen?”

“Yes, and the suspicion is due to their funding the Child Finder Charity at a large venue in Belfast to end all the child trafficking in Ulster by the Hellyons and Novordo Club. You know who is running that show!”

“You know, Joe, Sound Unltd’s been raising money to end child trafficking and other evil designs since they turned to Christ. For years, they’ve exposed the darkness that rules this world—”

“Ephesians 6:12, right?”

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

“Exactly. So, why now? Why, you know, ‘murder rule’ them now?”

Joe immediately answered, “Because, Lloyd, it was time to do so.”

I am still working on Chapter Two of this new novel. Chapter One is completed.

Finally, I Am Starting My New (and Maybe Last) Novel! Been Busy This Last Few Weeks…

I finally started creating my new–and final–novel which (so far) will be called The Prodigal Band Aftermath. It will feature the ending scenario for the prodigal band Sound Unltd which harkens back to when their jet was “bombed” in 2001 but failed to do any serious damage to the band, pilots or jet. Thus begins the novel, which, as with The Prodigal Band, is narrated by pop culture pundit Lloyd Denholm. The finality of The Murder Rule also plays into this final novel (also narrated by Lloyd Denholm).

Thus, the “prodigal band” reaches its end, and Denholm suspects why it reaches its end, which he explains, backed by what manager Joe Phillips–who faked his own death in Part Three of The Murder Rule and assumes a new identity as a “commoner person” who still has connections to the “elites” who had thought they controlled the “Super Six” for many years, and know why the act with their jet happened–in 2024, the same year The Murder Rule ended.

To end this post, I will state that a key character from the Prodigal Band Trilogy, the spirit being Morwenna, reappears in this novel–her being sent back to the world from heaven by those Tooters angels was necessary to complete the novel. Only this time, she will guide Lloyd, Joe, and the rest of the “good guys” against the evil that takes place in the latter 2020s…the “end times” maybe?

Finally, that control mechanism that Big Tech invented to trick folks into thinking the world was becoming a better place, Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a prominent role in this novel…fake images, fake “messiah,” and other ways to deceive believers on Christ so that they renege on their belief and side with the beast system. Strong delusion stuff…

Sorry this post is late, but I have been very busy with activities these past few weeks, including daughter getting married…finally! To a new believer on Christ no less…

A Future Novel? Hmmmmmm….

It has been a few weeks since my last post, but that is because I have not been able to decide what the next post would be—another snippet post, or something completely different?

This will be something different, because over the last couple of weeks (while busy with other stuff), thoughts or inspirations have entered my mind regarding a possible new novel, but related to previous novels (most likely, another spin-off of The Prodigal Band Trilogy, as The Murder Rule is).

After completing the third novel in the trilogy, The Prodigal Band, I considered writing an “aftermath” type novel explaining what happens after the climactic events of this novel—after the band rescues keyboard-synthist Bry’s wife Mo from the evil satanically possessed Mark Besst who was about to impale her, the satan-figure, Corion, captures Besst within the evil red crystal the evil one uses to capture human souls. Further, the good spirit being used by God’s angels, the Tooters, called Morwenna, returns “home” to heaven, her missions having been accomplished, as she lets her employers, singer Erik and his wife, Ger, know via a note she left for them.

But, then what? Is there more to this story? The narrator of this novel, pop culture pundit Lloyd Denholm, surmises at the end of the novel that the prodigal band members, given “missions of God” by the Tooters, will complete their missions and spend eternity in Heaven, being “good and faithful servants.”

Thus, I have been thinking how this “aftermath” plays out. The six band members complete their missions, and pass on at some point, souls in Heaven. However, what is Heaven really like? Is it that “void” I’ve had them in, a white, timeless, soundless, sight-less, void that contains “dots” or “lines” as they move through the void? (Note: refer to Chapter Eleven of The Prodigal Band.) The Bible mentions “streets of gold,” “crystal seas,” and other beauty, but still…what does it look like for sure? What does God look like…after all, the Book of Genesis says God made man in His—actually, “our” image—while the Gospel of John Chapter One says “the Word” (Christ) was with God and was God. Thus “our” image…but still, what do these “images” look like? What does the Judgment Seat (Book of Revelation) look like? What does the “accuser,” Satan, look like…and does he have “devil horns”?

The other possibility is an “aftermath” predicting the “end times” narrated by one of the novel characters, possibly one from The Murder Rule, with a scenario of how the next few years historically and spiritually plays out, for we do seem to be entering what looks to be very dangerous times, wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes in diverse places…for instance, several in my area north of here, possibly due to oil fracking (after all, north of me is the Permian Basin, where the oil producing industry is huge, likely the largest in the US). And all those preachers predicting end-times events (such as the timing of ‘the rapture,’ and more…only God knows, right?).

So that, hopefully soon, I will be inspired, somehow, to begin writing the next novel, for it seems to me that time is getting short.
