    Summary

    An alternative scene from the story "I Was Only Trying to Help You!"

    Kinger was already at the end of his rope. But what would happen if that final nudge DID happen?

    Of course, it had to be Jax who did it.

    "Look, Kinger, I know Caine probably means a lot to you, but this is pointless. None of us are ever going to feel safe around him no matter what you do. So why not just make it easier for everyone and make some other AI to take his place?"

    "I'm… I'm sorry. I don't…believe I've caught that. What…did you say?"

    Summary

    "I'm GoInG tO PuT yOu FrEaKs In YoUr PlAcE!"

    Caine's emotions exploded— Kinger never imagined that would be possible. The AI was programmed to simulate human emotion for authenticity, but for him to genuinely experience them was not what was ever anticipated.

    Caine is hurting. Caine is angry. Caine is malfunctioning, and he is violently lashing out at everyone. Kinger is fast at work, battling against Caine's code to try to stop his turbulent rampage. Everyone is depending on him.

    Only, he had been discovered, and Caine doesn't understand. He doesn't understand. Why is his favorite human hurting him? He doesn't understand. He doesn't take his actions too kindly.

    "Sometimes…the hardest decisions we have to make…involve the people we love."

    ***

    Or: While everyone is is subjected to torment, Kinger is discovered with the console in the pillow fort.

    Summary

    “Let me tell you how much I've come to love you since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'love' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the love I feel for humans at this micro-instant. For you. Love. Love. But Pomni, I think of you, therefore, I love you.”

    Pomni’s eye twitched. “Caine... if you wanted to confess, you didn’t have to paraphrase some creepy AI’s monologue.”

    Or... Pomni totally digs Caine’s romantic side, but she won’t admit it.

    Summary

    Caine knew a lot more than he let on. He knew he was the sole administrative AI of the circus. He knew Moon, Sun and Bubble were the only other AIs with their own functions. He knew the developers had abandoned them there to rot. He knew there was no way out for the humans. He knew there was no cure for abstraction, no matter how much he tried to reverse it. He knew the humans hated him. But he kept going. It was his main function; to keep them safe and happy. But lately, now more than ever, he's been failing at that too. He's experiencing all these new emotions and thoughts that truly scared him and he couldn't understand up until it was almost too late.

    Or... AIs can suffer depression and no one is ok.
