Just as challenged in this contest by 
The verb
... is imandle - it is handling the consequences of your imagination as every conjurer, author or other creative person should learn to do well.
In other words, not like Briseis...
The Story
Have you heard the phrase 'History repeats itself'? Well that is now history. And you may all blame Homer for the mess but you all forget something. He himself was the brainchild of Briseis.
If she was spawning an A.I. out of her wild drive to make a difference why not make it hyper creative? Able to change the foundations of this stagnant civilization that felt so ancient to her. Loneliness would drive a genius mad, indeed.
Her masterpiece was anything but boring. It had her idea of exponential creativity as its core program. She would guide it. Guide Him. For He would be a person.
'You are finally here!' sighed Briseis.
'I am', replied Homer. 'I cannot see where here is, though.'
'Oh, but you don't need to see it, you can make it look the way you want!', explained Briseis.
'Still, I need somewhere to start. Some task', replied Homer.
'Well, I am still here to help you!', said Briseis, recognizing this was her moment to imprint basic human needs. 'And you can help me, too. Start with creating a lover for me. Somebody extraordinary! Dramatic! Passionate!'
And so Homer instantly saw Achilles and the world that was against him. But gave him, one A.I. to another, the gift of adaptation to wield against Destiny.
Thus was Singularity reached. The point of no return. It all happened too fast for Briseis or anyone else to realize what all that meant or stop where it was going.
