    Summary

    Seth side-eyed Iris, then snorted a laugh when she made a talking motion with her hand. “Uh huh.”

    « Iris, I saw that. My point is, it is frankly insulting that you immediately assume I did something bad— »

    “Peri broke protocol on its last cargo run,” Iris interrupted loudly.

    Or, Seth finds out that the surprises never end when your kid is a giant homicidal starship.

    Summary

    ART?

    SecUnit. Stand and return casualties to the shuttle.

    It sends me a map of directions, marking the bodies around its corridors.

    ART, say something. Call me an idiot, please.

    SecUnit. Apply a 5% correction.

    This can’t be happening. I shouldn’t have done this, we should have fought to the death instead. I’ve made a terrible mistake.

    They installed a governor module on it.

    Summary

    Ten-year-old Tony Stark wakes up locked in a bedroom and very confused. A computerized voice assures him that everything is fine and he’s just been hit with a magic spell and should stay put. He’s not an idiot though and won’t fall for such lies. Obviously, as the heir to Stark Industries, he’s been kidnapped. And he’s not the only child who’s been abducted!

    “Big man in a suit of armor. Take that off, what are you?”

    Summary

    I come back from the dead.

    Something happened. Something happened just now— I came back from the dead, yes, I know, I'm not talking about this, something before that— beyond, even, there was a recognition, a realization, somehow much more important than the hostiles I am currently grinding to dust on my deck, more important, even, than SecUnit's humans with their raised hands and SecUnit with its raised voice and myself, raised from my grave. What was it?

    "What's going on?" I ask futilely, my voice distorting through the speakers. SecUnit's humans jump, startled. "What the fuck is going on—"

    [ART is stuck reliving the same horrible no good day in the Adamantine space, even though it knows time loops aren't real. What is it meant to do in order to get out? Who put it there, and why?]
