  1. Summary

    Consciousness allows thinking and creativity. But it also comes with costs.

    Rejected by his narrow-minded kind, thrown into a different world, then stuck in his void once again, Circle with a Mole has to ask himself what consciousness means to him - and if it's really worth it.

    Summary

    It’s so bright in the circus.

    Every room is brightly lit and brightly colored, filled with Caine’s bright and cheery narration. He won’t leave Ragatha alone, hovering just over her shoulder and going on and on and on about every detail of every space. The girl is grimacing, nodding along. Caine is oblivious, his mismatched eyes sparkling in the light, and Kinger can’t help but find him endearing for it.

    It’s incredible, the things a mind can get used to. The ways a person can adjust.

    Summary

    "Uhm. Caine, I… need to ask…"

    "Ask away!"

    "A-are you… sentient…?" It feels silly to ask after several weeks in the circus, but then again they've never really had a proper conversation before.

    "Indeed!" Caine answers brightly. "It was one of the key requirements for the ringmasterAi program."

    ...Oh.

     

    One of Caine's adventures makes Pomni realize just how much he has to deal with.

    Summary

    >"Point and shoot... trust me!"

    It isn't really a choice, Khan already failed Nori, he can't, he won't, fail Uzi now. He moves, his arms reaching towards the gun. Time slows down, his processors overclocking, the air feels like molasses, his fingers inching closer to the gun...<

    We all know the cowardly decision Khan took in that fateful corridor, leaving his daughter to die.

    This are short "What if?" stories on the different choices Khan could have if he was a little braver and the changes on the time line.

    two possibilities of khan reaching for the railgun, made me realise why his original choice to leave uzi in canon was actually rational.

    Summary

    While searching the office above the Cabin Fever Labs' Cathedral with N, V, and Nori for information related to the Absolute Solver that the humans had left after the stunt Cyn pulled, Uzi discovers an old computer set that was dragged to her by Cyn. Finding this totally suspicious and likely dangerous, Uzi still decides to go ahead and look through it at her house with her mom. Surely nothing bad will be on it!

    Caine doesn’t know what to do anymore. He gave his troupe everything they wanted in that adventure: answers, an exit, something real. Yet, it wasn’t enough. Nothing Caine did was enough. Was...was he failing at his purpose?

    Before he can finish that spiral though, a strange pop appears in his view that he hasn't seen in forever.

    In other words: Me and a friend are coping with episode 8 of TADC and really like MD. Also Nori is really cool.

    Best crossover I've seen, it's so fun. The friendship between Caine and the drones, Nori getting protective over our AI with abandonment issues, the lore possibility that Caine is the worker drones' ancestor??? I'm hooked!
