    Summary

    Emma Perkins was still alive.

    That should not have been as terrifying as it was.

    Now she has to survive as one of the few humans still left in a Post-Apotheosis world.

    The life she once loved and hated was over.

    Or is it?

    What the hell is a 'Lord in Black'?

    Summary

    Seeing it in person makes my throat tighten.

    I’m glad I’m alone. I can’t control the slight tremble in my hand and I’m not sure if it’s fear or grief, but there's something bubbling under my chest.

    Grace died over a decade ago. I killed him. I know that.

    I’ve had 26 years to sit alone in a cell with that. That and every other outcome.

    But for some reason instead of touching the beetle I’m frozen wondering if perhaps Grace had touched it too.

    --

    TLDR: Stratt goes through the logs from the beetles and has to save the world. A bit of a shock to her.

    Summary

    It's a normal day in Hatchetfield when a meteor hits the Starlight Theater.
    Nothing happens.
    No, really. Nothing happens.

    Okay, SOMETHING happens. A couple injuries. The Starlight Theater is shut down indefinitely. The sleepy town gets a surge of tourism as people come pooling in to see the meteor that tore right through the marquee. Peanuts gets a sizable donation for his squirrel house.
    But that's it. Everything else is...fine. Just fine.

    But it's not supposed to be fine. Something was supposed to happen.

    ~

    He had been chosen. Chosen by The Singular Voice, for a purpose. A role. A part in a play (one he did not understand, but he would soon). A something that was supposed to happen. A something that had not happened yet. But it would. It was inevitable.

    All he had to do was listen.

    Paul did not want to listen.
    But he did.

    ~
    Paul Matthews has disappeared. It's a concerning development for the guy who'd never be late to work, let alone miss it entirely.
    Emma Perkins knows that better than anyone. She's going to find him, no matter what it takes.

    Summary

    Stratt gets through the launch. Time expands again and the weight of the choices she has been forced to make hits her like a mac truck. She forces herself to move onto the next phase of the mission while eagerly awaiting the moment the tables turn and someone realizes she ought to be in jail cell.

    The universe (and Grace and Carl) have other plans for her however, and she's handed a far more challenging task then laying still for a lethal injection.

    She was prepared to be the whipping boy if it would save the planet. Unfortunately for her there is no end to what a living world will demand of you. Instead of being handed a death sentence she is handed more responsibility by the one person who ought to know better than to trust her with anything. It just might be what saves her.

    OR

    get in losers we're gonna beat up stratt a little (because we love her) and then we're gonna throw a 6th grader at her for sport.

    Summary

    Hostile engaging. Abort mission. I sent it on instinct, even though I knew it was much too late for that.

    What's going on? I could feel ART poking through my sensor data, trying to figure out what had made my threat assessment spike. Its tone was urgent, but calm. It wasn't sure yet if there was a legitimate threat or I was just having a Moment again.

    The answer was probably a solid "both".

    All of my organic parts told me to run.

    Most of my inorganic parts also told me to run.

    Feed ID: Negotiator Joslin
    Gender: fem-neutral

    I shoved the feed ID at ART.

    The negotiator?, it asked.

    She used to work for the company. She'll identify me as a SecUnit.
