Summary
In the arctic darkness, a drone sits on the bow of a frozen ship, fearing the end. Harpoon in hand, he waits.
Across the frozen ocean, another one raises her wings to take flight in search of food. She's starving.
Beneath the ice, something stirs, waiting for the Long Night of winter to set in.

Summary
In the twilight zone between dead and living, Serial Designation J glimpses a memory she was never meant to relive. This delusion, this phantasmagoria, it reveals in her a corruption she can't stand, failure beyond measure. In the numb, dark aftermath, plunged into an abyss without sights or sounds, she makes the only choice she can -- to fulfill her mission.
Only there is someone out there, a name she doesn't know, yet somehow remembers so fondly.

Summary
The trauma of transformation leaves scars much deeper than a drone's plastic shell -- deeper even than mangled insides twined with flesh. Though N was made to forget, V wasn't. The frame-by-frame image of her hollowing, her kenosis, is burned into her drives; not just her body torn into something else, but being forced to watch N go through the same.

Summary
J has been granted a new lease on life, but like a lease made with a used car dealer her debtors may come knocking at any minute. Following her heel turn in Robo-Purgatory, she will have to put in the leg-work to rebuild the trust and relationships she worked so hard to burn to the ground at the behest of the Solver. After reuniting with a friend she long thought impossible to find anew she'll have to navigate the cut-throat competition of Copper-9. Both J and Tessa will be forced through circumstance to grapple with the reality of their existence and relationship. Mystery, Violence, and Industrial Strength Intonation and Innuendo abound as J engages in some Hostile Corporate Restructuring.
The Follow Up to Asset Management, diving headlong into headcannon and AU territory. I don't directly re-tell but will make reference to the events in the show, but for the most part I'm letting the Triple-C cannon stand on it's own merits. This is a world which is far less hospitable, where sharp claws merely get you to the table of threats, and where the tragic implications of events are allowed to fester. The events of the tale start around episode 2, from there it should be easy to tell when we are.

Summary
Cabin Fever catches all unprepared, and none more so than a house divided. Tessa and J's alliance to the rogue trio of N, V and Uzi is on the verge of crumbling. When a last-ditch plot to enact a life-and-ego saving memory wipe fails, the path down to the core of Copper-9 is rendered rockier still, blocking every way around that which Tessa desperately wanted to avoid. Memories of a gala. Yellow tendrils reaching inside her head. The whirrs and clanks her joints now make. One little pig-tailed drone, or the entire universe.
The sequel/continuation of Hostile Corporate Restructuring, picking up right where it left off by bringing in the ensemble. Heavy focus on Tessa and J, though the others get their time to shine. We are now officially post-episode six, woooo!

Summary
N is loving his life right now, his adorable best friend (girlfriend?) has become so bubbly and affectionate this past week, and now she suggests a romantic walk out in the woods? This is definitely not a prelude to a horrific revelation and violent display that will leave him with trauma that'll make his time with the Elliots look like a pleasant memory.
