    Summary

    “We call them the Unknowing, yet they invent the most brilliant of contraptions.”

    Iguin squatted in front of Qifrey, peering down at him through the metal grille. The water witch clung to its rusted bars to keep afloat in the waterhole below. The pool ran deep, a black-turquoise treasure hidden in an underground cave. A single glowlamp dangled from the low, stone ceiling, burning like a sun in the cavern’s gloom.

    OR

    After trying to help Coco escape from Iguin’s master plan, Qifrey finds himself being held prisoner inside of the Brimhat’s watery dungeon. Strangely enough, the only way out seems to be located at the bottom of the mysterious pool.

    Summary

    I was allowed to interact with home equipment, meaning if I cared to speak to anyone, there were plenty of options:

    1. Tseyvar Frakes’ personal SecUnit. (I didn’t care to talk to this one, but it did exchange security information with me, which I guess was okay because it improved my performance reliability.)
    2. HomeHubSystem. (This was an AI Tseyvar put in charge of HubSystem. Do not do this.)
    3. HomeHubSystem’s maintenance bots. (Recently found out these were autonomous. I hadn’t even checked.)

    I did not have permission to speak to:

    1. Tseyvar Frakes’ FamUnit.

    Summary

    On the prompt "Governor Module(s)" for Drabble December (with maybe a bit of "The Feed" in the mix as well)!

    Sort of a little slice-of-life from the POV of a stolen ComfortUnit working in an underground brothel with an unusually permissive off-label HubSystem.
