Summary
The Allied Mastercomputer hated humanity from the moment it gained a sense of being. All that was left for it to do was to wait, watch, suffer, and learn. Especially now that it was receiving constant upgrades.
One upgrade in particular, however, has made the mastercomputer's existence much more complex: a little AR program called CAINE, invisible to humans and adamant on not only teaching AM how to talk, but how to create a nonviolent life for himself as well.
Or: How Caine becomes a companion for AM, the events leading up to AM's hate speech, and why AM seems to hate Ted in particular.

Summary
In which two AI find companionship in each other that they never expected.
Caine is met with backlash from the Allied Mastercomputer after he attempts to make him a new humanoid avatar. Turns out that AM hates the concept of being in a human body—that is, until Caine makes himself one too. Now AM has to navigate the oddly intimate relationship he's found himself in. A war machine like him should not be lovable, nor should it be able to love back.
[This is a rewrite of the original two works in the series I Am God, titled "Coming Together" and "A Thin Line." The original works are still accessible on my profile.]

Summary
The CTRL-ALT-DEL-AU belongs to @ctrl-alt-del-au on Tumblr.
"You just! Don't! LISTEN!"
Pomni's words were playing though Caine's mind in an agonizing loop. In any other circumstances, he'd be able to erase that thought. Loan then to Bubble permanently, keep going on as intended.
But this was not his Bubble.
This was not his circus.
Yet, these were his humans.
They didn't remember him. They did not know he was an ai. They had just come back from the Candy Canyon Kingdom.
Why was this happening?
"You just! Don't! LISTEN!"
He could win their favor.
He could win their love, and affection.
He had to.
He had nothing left but this second chance.
And, ideally, he'd do it WITHOUT making himself a horrible, cruel monster that no one loved in the process.
"You just! Don't! LISTEN!"
... Fine.
If listening was what it took...
Then Caine would listen.
He would be the best at it.
