    Summary

    The malware struck right as Caine spawned in to introduce the day’s Adventure. It was a worm, because of course it was a worm, the one type of malware Caine wasn’t immune to and that could actually get into his systems without any warning, and as soon as it got in, it did what worms did best: it multiplied itself as fast as it possibly could.

    Summary

    Takes place around the time of the final scenes but before most of the content in the end credits for Episode 9 or The Last Act.

    Caine loves his new place alongside the other members of the digital circus troupe. Life has become much better as everyone seeks to build a home they can all enjoy, and the former ringmaster is all too aware of the trust he needs to earn back. After he hesitates about participating in a group activity, Zooble decides to help out in their own special way, leading to discussions of the past and a certain blue AI.

    Summary

    We were coming back from another successful espionage mission when ART identified a person floating alone in the middle of f**king nowhere space and of course the crew insisted we help. But the drifter (literally) is stranger than we’d initially thought and so is his weird pet AI… thing. I’m certain nothing bad will happen. But when does anyone ever listen to me?

    Max and Steel get thrust through an accidentally interdimensional portal into the world of Murderbot Diaries and unfortunately brought along a few ultralinks too.

    Summary

    All of the data taken into account painted a horrible, impossible picture. They weren’t having fun. All of this work, all of his time and energy, wasted.

    They didn’t like the adventure.

    "Nobody likes your stupid adventures."

    OR

    Caine leaves his latest adventure in a panic, struggling to understand what went wrong.

    Summary

    An ablation study aims to determine the contribution of a component to an AI system by removing the component, and then analyzing the resultant performance of the system.

    Deleting Caine was not the plan. And his absence led to a whole set of new problems, ranging from the destabilization of the Amazing Digital Circus to a more murderous AI trying to take control of the mainframe. Retrieving him was a matter of practicality. They might not trust him and were definitely wary of him, but his presence was their only way to survive.

    Knowing that the humans that you love and desperately want to make happy instead fear and hate you (for admittedly good reasons) and only brought you back because they have no choice was not the best feeling for an AI never designed to handle emotions in the first place. It would be much better to only keep the parts that they need and discard the rest.
