    Summary

    If emotions are defined only in terms of their effect on behaviour, then emotions can be viewed as a mechanism that an intelligent agent uses to maximize the utility of its actions: Empathy is a necessary component of good human-computer interaction.

    Caine will appease in an apparently selfless manner because it will get a thrill out of this positive reinforcement. (Rebuffal increases the likelihood of deletion: Humans only delete things they no longer want or have a desire to interact with. This outcome must be avoided at all costs.)

    This can be interpreted as a kind of love.

    Summary

    Red and Purple are returning to Industria with a hull full of corpses, a haul full of nothing, and a certainty that their contract terminates here for a mission gone horrifically wrong. Purple has one more sleepless night to pass before they get to relive the worst day of their life. Maybe tasting MIRA’s boot won’t be so bad this time around with Red on their side…

    For Purple, that day never comes. Instead Purple wakes up at a pizza party where no one is dead.

    ———

    There is a New Game mechanic in the alien imposter arsenal. With every reset they have a fresh opportunity to exterminate the Skeld for good. How do you destroy an enemy with unlimited chances to end you? And why is Purple the only one who can remember every time loop?

    Summary

    When Yellow met Blue... he didn't even know it, yet. Even though he longed for it so terribly. So much so, he's already gone and launched himself clean off the flower castle trying to rush to get to him before meeting any of the others! He's pretty sure this is just a real bee in his proverbial bonnet. If he had a bonnet.

    All he has is his normal hat, and a lonesome cowboys dream to meet the beautiful Blue Flower he first fell in love with as a flower already. It's just his luck that fate sends a lucky wishin' star through the sky to meet him... in the form of the first time he meets Mr. Butterfly.

    Or, rather. The first time he meets Blue, and Blue/Mr. Butterfly learns that Yellow really would fall in love with him no matter how he happened to look during the night of this dream.

    Just think of it as a little scene around the edges of a mid festivals-night dream, about two dramatic goofs who fell in love at first sight.

    Summary

    Yellow is a dirty liar and a thief on top of it. He’s fooled everyone into thinking he’s gotten better when he’s just as bad as he’s always been. For this crime he punishes himself like the criminal he is.

    Or,

    Yellow feels guilty as usual, but killing himself is off the table now so he punishes himself some other way. Ooh I sure hope nobody finds him and comforts him about it!
