    Summary

    Spiritual Successor to "It Came From the Vents." Gordon Freeman has spent three years trying to stabilize the AIs he befriended after a disastrous end to a military project. He's stolen company property, ignored his family, and neglected himself in hopes of success. Now that he's made progress, it's becoming increasingly apparent that one of the AIs in question may not be a program at all. No one can say for certain what this revelation will lead to, but one thing's for sure: HR is going to have a field day with this one.

    Summary

    The quiz is a disaster. Wracking her head for any nuggets of information she can remember from the lecture that week, she can barely piece together what the questions are asking before the time is called.

    Her lab partner, on the other hand, is the first to finish, figure moving as smoothly as blades across ice to the front of the room, placing her paper down with a decisive flutter and returning to her seat, hands crossed in front of her as she waits for everyone else to catch up.

    It doesn’t annoy Enid, the elegance with which the girl holds herself. It’s more…intrigue, she supposes.

    A pebble tapping, deep in the confines of her chest.

    or

    Enid's just trying to get through her freshman year. Wednesday complicates things, somewhat.

    Summary

    “Do you,” Gigi inhaled deeply, looked away from Cecilia and down at the floor. There were no carpets or rugs in Ceci’s room; if there was ever static build up it could be disastrous for her more sensitive receptors. She’d gotten used to the tile. “Do you really want to do this?”

    Cecilia knew that if she said no, Gigi would back down immediately. They would probably never forget about this situation since Gigi had a memory not for important plans or days to do chores, but for jokes she made that only she laughed at and kept on going past their prime and into their senior years. But Cecilia’s plating, her mechanisms, her entire function and structure and presumed purpose was meant to mimic the capacities of a human existence. If she was failing in this, Cecilia needed to do something about it.

    “I want to do this,” Cecilia said.

    “Okay,” Gigi said, and apprehension was a human experience that Ceci hadn’t had enough data of to register it in her systems. Maybe she felt it now. “Let’s do this.”

    Summary

    “How long have you been there?” Gigi’s smile was timid. It did not suit them at all. “You good?”

    “I’m alright,” Ceci smoothed her hair, unruffled her skirt. A notification complained about a locked joint somewhere, which was made obvious when she could no longer bend her elbow all the way. “Never mind.”

    “Do you need- do you want help?” Gigi knelt in front of the couch, tail sliding over their knees and rasping over the carpet. “I can help. I want to.”

    Cecilia couldn’t help her smile, reaching out with her working arm to cup Gigi’s cheek. They leaned into it with a purr-like hum. “How noble.”

    “I know right?” Gigi grinned. “You’re soooo lucky.”
