Pairing: ghouls & a baby ghoul, lowkey sodia, Swiss is so dad
Summary: after a great show, the ghouls make a haunting discovery
A/N: I told my fiancé I was pregnant during Mary on a cross and he flipped, also was bawling tears when they left the stage!! So here is a comfort thing I wrote to distract me from the concert blues.
Swiss yawned and stretched his back, he walked down the ramp from the once shiny and lit up stage.
“I could use a nap.” He said groggy, his vocal cords holding and letting go of his voice.
“Im so hungry.” Cumulus whined, following the ghoul as she fumbled with the button that kept her uniform closed around her neck.
“Im damn thirsty.” Mountain said, slouched over as he grew more and more exhausted. He felt his arms limp, and his ankle hurt.
“That was a great show!” Sodo said, rolling into the ghoulish pack with a confident smile. “I think each time we play here, I wanna come back.” He added, his eyes lit a flame.
“Don’t get me wrong, I love Nashville, but sometimes all of the noise from broad street is too loud.” Aurora said, catching up with them as her and rain covered their sensitive ears.
Rain winced in agreement as he hung with Aurora, phantom and cirrus.
“Wait.” Swiss said, his lead off the line coming to a hult as they approached the dressing room hall. “Do you guys hear that?”
“What is it now? It’s probably them blasting Johnny cash or something down the street.” Aurora rolled her eyes, but she quickly turned to Swiss as she heard the noise too.
“No. No no, that’s not music. That’s a whimper.” Swiss said, investigating with his pointed ears and pin point eye sight.
“Hm? It’s probably the meet and greet.” Mountain replied, looking at Swiss.
“No, that was after their set.” Swiss walked towards a corner of the venue, he came to a tall black curtain and hesitantly pulled it back.
“Uh-“ Swiss was at a loss of words as he saw what muffled crying was behind the curtain.
The rest of the ghouls followed in curiosity, only to be the same as Swiss with their jaws low and eyes wide.
“Uhm…how.” Cumulus tried to reason, as she looked at the frail kit curled up into his knees with hot wet streaks running down their cheeks.
“I’ll….I’ll get papa.” Cirrus volunteered and ran off as the rest of the ghouls ushered the kit to the dressing room.
“Are you alright? How did you get here?” Swiss asked, setting them into the vanity and kneeling down to seem less threatening in size. His eyes soft and his hair damp in sweat, “can you understand me?”
“What do you last remember?” Rain joined in before the door slammed open to reveal a confused papa.
“What? What’s going on?? What’s this about?” Papa copia pushed through the crowd of ghoul frustratingly.
He came to a point of no return when he was met eye to eye with little ghoul.
He had only been in a baggy tour shirt, the one with papas face menacingly staring at the earth as lightning struck the cities they played at. It covered the ghoul like a dress, and he had dark fuzzy black hair and pointy ears. His claws were so sharp they dug into the metal vanity and left marks.
“Oh dear.” Copia sighed, his tense position lessened as he kneeled down with Swiss. “You aren’t supposed to be here, are you.”
The little ghoul stared at him, his eyes unable to close and reopen as he sat so still you would think he was a statue.
Copia brought a hand to his head, but he heard a loud hiss and a sharp sensation at his hand as he noticed the leather of his glove clean slit like a fine blade. Copia looked at his eyes, slit pupils, wide eyes, long eye lashes, and he felt blood drip from his hand.
“Oh this just won’t do now will it?” Copia muttered, looking at his hand, “seems to be he was summoned.”
Sodo rushed to papas bloody hand, he held it and looked at him with concern, “Cardi, your hand.” He worried.
“Don’t worry about me, what matters is how and who summoned this poor bambino.” Copia softly smiled at the fire ghoul.
“Do you think…mm no.” Aurora held her chin, as so did rain and Swiss.
“The perpetrator knew it happened, they left him and clothed.” Copia took his glove off and pressed on his growing wound as sodo held his arm carefully.
“Do you, do you have a home little one?” Copia asked, bravely kneeling to the child again.
The kiddo looked him in the eyes as his chest heaved, “papa.” The kit whispered.
“Eh, yes I am papa.” Copia pointed at his chest, “you?” He then pointed to the kit.
The child’s eyes watched copias carefully, “star.” He slithered his name past his fangs.
“Home?” Copia asked, planting his knees on the dressing room floor.
“Dark, red…hot.” The ghoul frowned, “cold.”
“You want to go home?” Copia asked, “go home?”
The kit nodded eagerly.
“Alright, we will need to send him back to the pit.” Copia stood up and sighed.
The ghouls groaned in unison, “no!”
Copia looked around confused, “well what do you suggest we do then Hm?”
The ghouls looked at each other and then at papa, “take him home?” They proposed.
Copia was speechless, “take home a kit??? Mo- sister would kill me!”
Swiss took the kit and held him in his arms as he giggled at being thrown up so high, “we can teach him our ways.” Swiss smiled.
“Wha-“ copia looked at the other ghouls for answers before taking a moment of silence, “no.”
Swiss���s eyebrows furrowed, “what do you mean, no?” He bit.
“His home is In the pit!” Copia exclaimed.
The kit frowned at the loud noises, “home.” He muttered as he held tight to Swiss’s vest.
“Home.” He muffled again against his shoulder, “Swiss.”
The rest of the ghouls looked at papa with a silent smirk.
Papa looked around the ghouls, huffed, and looked at Swiss as he smiled in victory.
“Home it is.”

I need the funniest thing Yua ever does is to be her looking upon Gai and going ‘ahhh, Mifune 2.0 with his energy notched ip to 100 :)’
And since Kakashi is Yua 2.0 plus a dash of DORK she just assumes Kakashi and Gai will have a sibling bond just like her and Mifune did
And then Kakashi informs her one day age 32 that he’s going out on a date with Gai and her brain just comes crashing to a hult because what do you Mean you’re dating Gai!?’
She’s not ok

Sally makes an emergency landing on Hult-Grais to thwart a pursuing bounty hunter, but she can't run forever in, "Can't Get There from Fear"
A 5 minute long Spacetime Sally short film...
This Spacetime Sally Short was made using Stable Diffusion AI Image-to-Video, meaning I used Sally still images, had the AI animate them (in random animations), and I stitched together a narrative from the output. Image-to-video is very new and there's little control to it, and the output is about a 4 second video, so please do keep that in mind while viewing. It's crudely made and quite rough, but I do hope you enjoy it.
You can watch it on YouTube here

15. RETURN
The Dalek, still stuck to the magnet, is twitching and struggling as just below him in the cockpit of the crane Olesia and The Doctor scuffle for control of the great big machine. An argument over why she shouldn’t be helping this Dalek can barely be heard by the Dalek as the Doctor struggles to keep Olesia from getting access to the crane’s controls. She shoves the spindly man mostly out of the machine so he is partially leaning out of the other door. One arm loops through the brase of the machine while he tries to kick and shove at Olesia as she frantically tries to push and switch levers to release the Dalek. The lights on the crescent ship that was sitting in wait across the way begins to glow, starting at the end of the wings all the way to the central part. It begins to hover. Henry had been summoned to assist.
The ship begins to move quickly straight for the machine, nocking over shelves and tearing open boxes scattering paper materials and metal everywhere. Olesia catches sight of the fast moving thing along with the Doctor. Both push each other out of the machine on opposite sides. They each barrel roll then scramble to their feat as the ship barrels down on them. A bright orange light bursts from the front of the ship blowing up the crane’s chain and long crane part allowing the casing to drop onto the ground with a clatter. The Doctor bolts away from the ship as it turns to face him while Olesia rushes over to pull the now inactive magnet off of the Casing. It doesn’t take long to get the casing upright again.
“OPEN THE FRONT HATCH! HENRY! OBEY! OBEY!”
Blueton shouts through Olesai from the ground as she turns the Dalek casing to face the ship. It takes a moment for the casing to reorient itself before it begins to move on its own beside her. They rush after the crescent ship. Olesia and Blueton are sprinting as the ship turns rapidly towards the two of them. The front hatch opens and as the ship meets them Blueton begins to hover. Olesia grabs hold of Blueton’s casing piggy backing on it as they rush into the ship.
“I’ve got you-“ Henry shouts in the cockpit. He closes the entrance of the ship again the moment the two of them are in the airlock. Blueton and Olesia skid to a hult just before the second pair of doors. The ship turns to face their guns where the Doctor had been running to. In reality they are aiming to blow through the entrance doors that are currently closed. Last minute the Doctor ducks down behind one of the metal pillars as another burst of orange light explodes through the doors. Outside the peaceful dark snowy night is interrupted by a loud fiery explosion sending metal shrapnel all through the yard. The crescent ship races through the fire up into the stormy skies.
“I’m taking us out of here- I’m not staying another minute on this planet with that man!” Henry begins to turn the ship upwards towards the clouds. Olesia and Blueton collect themselves as best they can before entering the main hallways of the ship. They were both very shaken up. Olesia had never thought of entering combat like that, and Blue? Blue was still coming down from a combat high.
“You will tear a hole in their atmosphere at this speed!”
The Dalek exclaims as they race to the doors of the control room. Olesia is hot on his heels as they make their way into the room with Henry. Blue didn’t want to give that man more of an excuse to chase him off world. Killing the people down there in the science facility would most certainly do so.
“We’ll have to if we want to get through these storm clouds.” Henry tries to explain back as he leans over the control desk. Blueton and Olesia both enter the control room- the doors close behind them and Blueton connects with another control computer. Their manipulator arm suctions to the semi-sphere with a soft clunk noise alerting Henry to the second pilot.
“Do it!” Olesia insists as she leans over Henry’s shoulder. With both of their minds working against Blue’s they would be able to do this very simple task.
“Leveling us out- shields at max, we are ready for a jump!” The Dalek agrees after a moment of debating the risks, not interfering with Henry as they pull the ship up further and aim out of the planet’s atmosphere.
The ship races up through the blizzard. The clouds around the ship are not giving way to any other site besides more dark gray clouds. Bolts of lightning shake the ship but nothing seems to make a direct hit with it. The lights on the wings of the crescent ship glow more before the ship bursts out of the clouds into the void beyond. Clouds and atmospheric whisps follow the tiny ship out into the void beyond.
“We’re free!” He’s jostled with Olesia as the ship breaks free from the planet’s atmosphere. Olesia slides over onto one of the other control panels.
“I see the four of them- they have exited the void ship!” On the screen in front of Blueton are the digital images of Sec, Caan, Thay and Jast. Below are the life signs of the four of them.
“So these are your friends?” Olesia grumbles as the whole ship jostles just once more causing her and Henry to fall sideways a bit. She collects herself quickly before rushing over to the screen Blueton is observing.
“They are my cult, Dalek Sec has been known by me for decades. Well into the Time War.” The casing stares into the displays. They hadn’t seen them in god knows how long. Would they even treat him the same once they met face to face again? He knew how self important Dalek Sec could be. With him being around the other three, they knew the creature would be emboldened enough to likely go against him. What was loyalty, when your whole race was at stake anyways?
“You sound rather hopeful.” Henry huffs catching his breath from the excitement before. He begins pulling up the coordinates attached to the lifesigns of the other Daleks.
“Their assistance will greatly improve our chances in improving the Dalek Empire.” BT122 states with the insistence in his voice clear. He could not doubt his stance with Sec now. They had never questioned his intentions before so why would Sec question him now?
“Blue… Maybe you’re putting too much faith into this… Group of yours.” Olesia tries to get Blue to lessen their hopefulness over the likelihood of the Cult helping them. She rests a hand on the top of the dome. She still believed that the Cult would immediately turn on Blue the moment they realized what the empire had done to the blue tin can.
“Do Not Blaspheme!” The eyestalk briefly turns to stare at Olesia for a moment before turning to look back at the controls. They should not doubt, Blueton trusted the cult. He had no choice but to trust the cult.
“Beginning the jump, it’ll take us another year to get back to Earth from here.” Henry huffs in an irritated tone.
“Not if we use… This. I promised the Time Controller I would never selfishly jump into the timestream again.”
They pull away from the control panel they are at then move over to the one Henry is at. They slide open the bottom panel and switch something on. It looks like a pump that begins to glow a gold coloration. Blueton closes it again.
“Saving my species is not selfish.” Blueton insists. The screens flicker and change from a universal perspective to one of a wormhole. The ship jolts forwards into it. The clouds that spiral around the ship are a violent blue with purple swirling through it. They spiral around and around like the exterior of a tornado as the crescent ship sails smoothly down its center. The only thing Blue was focused on was exiting from the time stream at the right moment. God forbid an old sentry would catch sight of them now.
“It will be five Rels before we get there.” Blueton stated plainly. He counted down the seconds- ready to flick the machine back off and drop back out of the stream at any second.
“Time… Controller?” Henry kneels down to observe the intense glow of the pump before the door is slid shut again. He had no idea what kind of machine he was working with now.
“Oh I don’t feel well-“ Olesia stumbles a bit and ends up having to take a seat on the floor. She slides down against the counter.
“We are outside of space and time - in a not so perfected time craft, some side effects may be experienced.” The Dalek explains as their manipulator arm returns to the control station. The screen shows their vessel as a silver blip and the orb they are tracking as a green blip. The ship jostles once more and two red blips suddenly appear on the screen. How greatly unfortunate…
“Out of time- wait, like, time travel? You mean we could’ve been doing this all along?” Henry let the anger in his voice begin to overtake their confusion. They could have just- traveled from Earth to wherever this monster had wanted to escape in a matter of minutes rather than years?! But no, they had been forced to work under the Dalek’s command for nearly three years now. Three… Grueling, Long years.
“Negative. For more reasons than just a broken promise.” They look between the screens- then falter at the left screen as it begins to flicker and static. That was not good.
“Well, five rels- that’s what- five minutes? Ten minutes?” Henry takes a seat against one of the control counters. He was still tired, now was a good a time as ever to rest and recuperate from the Earlier chase.
“Ugh- feel like i'm gonna vomit… Okay- Hugh- that, gives us plenty of time to grill you-“ Olesia grimaces and sits down against an opposite counter away from Henry and Blueton. She really didn’t want to puke on them.
“Yeah- yeah, actually. What are you going to do with the Cult of Skaro? What are you going to do to protect us against them? To protect your… Can’t call them offspring… Clones?” He points behind Blueton towards the door again.
“I will… Find a way to convince them to reform the Dalek Empire anew! Self sabotaging wars started simply because we believe we are superior? Nonsense! We need to prove to ourselves our superiority- rebuild our homeworld, rebuild our society! Prove to the universe we know who we are as Dalek kind!” He shouts and boasts before the ship is jostled. Again. Two Dalek warships pull up along beside either side of the crescent ship within the time stream. The spirals change from blue to reddish fiery spiral. This was not what Blueton was hoping for, not one bit.
“Friends of yours?” Olesia gets to her knees and peers up into the glitching screen as the form of a Dalek takes shape on it. There is sound coming through but it is jittery and hard to understand.
“Dalek Death Squadrons…” They twist their manipulator arm in the control socket as they look back at the screen. It begins to clear.
“YOU WILL IDENTIFY YOURSELF!” Screams the unfamiliar solid bronze form on the screen.
“DALEK STRATEGIST BT122 WITH BROOD CREW.” Blueton responds, he could not hide the many small life forms from their scans so he might as well bring them up here and now.
“WHAT IS A STRATEGIST DOING WITH A BROOD CREW?” On a screen beside the one the Dalek is talking on the life signs of the cult flicker. The timeframe of the Daleks along with the coordinates suddenly shift from what they were predicted to be to something entirely different. No one seems to notice.
“MY CREDENTIALS GIVE ME ACCESS TO SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITIONS WHEN THE NUMBERS ARE REQUIRED.” While the two talk Henry crawls along the floor just out of sight. He moves to one of the other control centers and slowly gets up to his knees trying to stay out of sight of the other Dalek.
“OUR SCANS SHOW TWO NON-DALEK LIFE FORMS. EXPLAIN?” Comes the confused tone of the bronze Dalek.
“DALEK PUPPETS. NOTHING MORE.” Blueton stated plainly. These killers would not understand the time and effort he had put into these two humanoids. They wouldn’t understand that he believed them to be more… That he believed the pair of them were… F… No- he could not even consider this line of thinking right now- especially not in front of other Daleks. ESPECIALLY not in front of a Death Squadron.
“That’s all we are to you?” Olesia has to collect herself as she looks like she’s about to gag. She scoots closer to the Dalek’s casing before. Henry fiddles with the controls, the screen above seems to be counting down the rels.
“TO WHERE AND WHEN ARE THESE NEW DALEKS BEING DELIVERED?” Demands the bronze Dalek on the screen.
“TU KIMBLZETST J’MATATH JATAGAN! WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I WOULD EVER GIVE YOU THAT INFORMATION?!” BT122 turns their estalk to Henry who is staring down the timer on the screen above him. Blue’s patience was waning again. The urge to start something he could not finish was really pushing its way into the front of his mind.
“WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?!-“ The shock from the other Dalek was intense, filled with disgust and hatred for the assumed disrespect.
“RAISE COMMUNICATION BARRIER!” Blueton pulls away from the computer and the screen switches to black. The low heartbeat thrumming in the background vanishes.
“Says we’ll exit the jump in one minute- that’s too much time- they’ll have us by our teeth by then.” Henry’s hand hovers over a red button as he watches the counter continue to go down. Olesia groans on the counter she’s leaning against behind him. On the screen keeping track of the cult, the life signs begin to drop out. Sec’s life sign disappears then Jast’s and Thay’s. Caan’s coordinates and time estimates change completely again. No one seems to notice.
“They will not fire upon us.” Blueton insists, though the statement is more hopeful than truthful. He watches the counter tick down to zero - all three seem to flinch as the ship jostles as they exit the time tunnel.
The ship appears above the Earth, a reddish ripple is around it as it exits the time tunnel into the atmosphere of the planet. They hurtle through the airspace of London towards the last known location of the void ship. Soft screams and urgent shouts from pedestrians below go ignored for a moment before Henry seems to take notice. Inside of the ship he quickly pulls up the ship’s cloaking mechanism and it goes invisible.
“We’re home! We’re actually home!” He stands up and leans onto the control console as he watches the ship sail towards the tall skyscrapers.
”Well, not… Home home? But… Same planet I guess.”
She stands and stumbles a bit over to Henry. Blueton lingers just behind the two before eventually pushing past and connecting his manipulator arm into the control panel.
“You will stay at my side at all times!” He orders, anxious over the upcoming events. He was anxious over what may happen, what would happen if they did not obey.
“Relax, I don’t have anything to return to here… Not anymore.” She pointedly looks to Henry. Henry looks disgruntled however, running a hand down the back of his head. He did have people to return to here, sure he had a bad relationship with his family but he still had a fiancé to get back to. He had a life to get back to that didn’t involve Torchwood or this horrible alien. He wanted to leave.
“Right… It's Not like I could explain what happened or where I ran off to… He’s probably already moved on… It’s been years.” His shoulders slump and he looks over to the screen with the life signs on it. His eyes widen and he quickly taps Blueton’s dome pointing behind him. They were too late, even though they had split time and space to get here they were too late.
“No- NO! But it has only been five rels-“ Blue speeds over to the console and connects his manipulator arm to it. They look over the screen and stare at the only remaining life sign. Caan.
“But it.. Was only five Rels..” Blueton repeats, his tone defeated.
“Blue? Couldn’t we just.. I don’t know? Hop back in time?” Henry cautiously walks over to Blueton’s casing. Both hands are up as he cautiously makes his way around his side to his front. Emotions made this tin can unpredictable- Henry wasn’t sure if it would blame them for this atrocity.
“But it was only… Five Rels…” He expresses his grief and confusion by letting all limbs droop down as they try and contemplate what went wrong. What had happened in such a short moment of time? Henry carefully pats his dome.
“Blue?” Henry tries to get the things attention.
“Negative, not without creating a paradoxical situation. Besides- the energy to make a jump like that needs time to recover. The Time Strategists will have my tendrils for this -“ They return to stare at Caan’s life signs. Henry points at it curiously.
“So- he’s still alive then? That’s good right?” He glances over to Olesia hoping she would confirm this. She shakes her head and grimaces.
“No… He is back in the Time War. He is as good as dead.” Blue turns to look at the other screen. The ship has stopped at the tall building the orb had been only moments before. There were no traces of the Daleks here though the readings on the screen show plenty of time disturbances.
“At the very least we could check out the last location the cult was before they were… Um… Killed?” She walks slowly over to Blueton’s other side. The Eyestalk turns to look at her for a moment before returning it to stare at the three dead Daleks. Identify the perpetrators and serve them vengeance. Yes. Yes he could, he would do such a thing.
“Yes… Yes we can do that.” They relax their gaze and the ship turns towards the new coordinates. They begin to travel over the ocean towards Manhattan.
Below the ship the water rushes along under its silver surface. It only takes minutes for the coast line of the Manhattan city to roll up on the ship. The New York State glistens against the bright waters as if welcoming their racing ship in. Within the ship Henry is leaning against Olesia with a wide smile on his face. He is giving her a tight side hug as they approach their home city.
“We’re home, we’re actually home- how should we slip away, what should I say to them once we do?” He rocks side to side with Olesia as he whispers rapidly at no one in particular. Olesia holds still and steady giving him support.
“Not just yet. We have to wait until Blue’s done and settled. Then I can distract him from you.” She whispers back to him giving a cautious look over her shoulder towards Blueton. The Dalek is busy piloting the ship towards what looks to be a sewer system entrance.
The ship plunges into the dirty waters of the city and seamlessly moves up one of the underwater sewer pipes. The area is narrow and dark but the blue lights on the wings help them navigate. Within the ship they use a green and black digital map of the systems they are traveling down to properly navigate the underground maze that was the city sewer system. Blueton brings them right to the last known lifesigns of Dalek Sec, before he had become mutated.
“We are here- time has corrupted the area. It has been flooded.” They turn the ship and begin some kind of scan. They then lift their eyestalk.
“Correction- the area above us is the location,it is clear.” They correct their previous assessment.
“I guess we’re going for a swim.” Henry lets Olesia go and walks over to Blueton. He looks over the black and green pixelated screen before pointing something out.
“Wait, there, that looks like a hatch. And those? Sliding doors.” He traces his fingers over what could be a hydraulics system.
“This area is a chamber, we will close those doors and drain the water.” Blueton decides, behind an old hatch in the wall that looks like it hasn’t been touched in years, stood their prize. It looks rusted over and covered in cobwebs, a dead and decayed pigman is lain beside it. Slowly the wheel at its front begins to turn. Rust flakes off of it before it suddenly spins and the heavy door flings towards. Henry, wielding a heavy wrench, had managed to pry the door open and behind him Blueton and Olesia stood patiently.
“Now would be the time to slip away. There, that latter looks like it’ll take you up to the city street level.” Olesia whispers to Henry once Blueton is in the hall beyond the bunker entrance. She points to one of the few ladders leading up out of the dark dank sewer they are walking down.
Henry watches the other two leave down the hallway before he turns and sprint his way up the ladder. He pushes and pries at the sewer grate above him until it slides out of the way. He pokes his head out of the sewer then ducks back down as a vehicle blares it’s horn at him as it goes overhead. He lets out an amazed laugh before more cautiously peeking his head out of the sewers then scrambling up out of it.
Far below him, Blueton enters into a wide room with old technology and scraps of fabric and paper strewn about everywhere. At the center there is a collection of technology rather familiar to him. As he rounds the back of it he is met with a decrepit dust covered, garbage soaked casing of a black Dalek. It is still open though one of the doors is off quilter. The eyestalk is missing as is the gunstick and many of the semi-spheres in the skirt are missing or out of place. Blueton stops dead at the front of the Dalek’s casing. He does not notice both Henry and Olesia leaving him alone down here under the city.
“Oh- Sec… What have you done to yourself?” His eyestalk looks up and down at the other before turning to examine the room around him. He does a half turn as he realizes he is alone in the room.
“Olesia?” He turns to the other side and continues to look around the empty room.
“Henry?” He calls out, expecting to hear one of them return his worried calls. No one answers.
Henry, who is now walking along the streets of Manhattan, grins up to the partially cloudy sky. He grins as he does a little turn on the sidewalk dodging between some pedestrians. He starts to laugh soon after as he pulls his jacket closer to himself. He is intent to leave, walking down the street away from the Dalek.

my love @kareenvorbarra tagged me to share 5 books read since September that I have loved.
Clarimonde (La Morte Amoureuse), Téophile Gautier -- I don't have a single criticism to make about this book :) A wonderful read, I especially loved the execution of the part where the protagonist doesn't know which life is real and which is a dream. I listened to the old Brazilian Portuguese translation available on the Conto um Conto podcast feed and thought it was excellent, e uma amiga leu a belíssima edição da editora Wish e também elogiou bastante -- fica a dica pros lusófonos daqui :)
Le Cycle de la Belle Dame sans Mercy, David Hult & Joan McRae -- It's an anthology of poems and/or contemporary literary endeavors related to La Belle Dame sans Mercy (Alain Chartier), and it's very interesting, and a lot of fun to read, even if sometimes one can't help the exasperation at how much our titular character has to go through for the crime of... being the object of an extremely insistent suitor's obsession :P It's really interesting to see the ways in which many different readers reacted to it though, and a nice contrast to the Roman de la rose that I had just finished. And the poetry itself is lovely -- I wish there was audio or video available of someone reading it out loud, but if there is, I can't seem to find it :'(
Antes do Baile Verde, Lygia Fagundes Telles -- A collection of short stories, I think most of them are available individually in English but the collection itself doesn't seem to have ever been translated into this language. I recently got obsessed with The Hunt (one of the stories), and after listening to every single recording of it I could find, I decided to read it for myself, and ended up reading the whole book, and it's really excellent, I love the way she builds and holds (and almost never resolves) the tension... One of my favorite short story writers ^^
Vita Nostra, Marina and Sergey Dyachenko -- I LOOOOOVED this book, so much that I do not know how to talk about it. I loved it and I haven't stopped thinking about it since I finished reading it. I am on the verge of rereading it though I know I should wait longer... Anyway if anyone has read insightful conversation/reviews of this book that go beyond praising it, please let me know, I'm very interested!
The Obelisk Gate, N.K. Jemisin -- It's such a wonderful experience to read an author who has both a vision and the technical skill to pull it off! My favorite thing about this specific volume were the visuals, I really think they were incredible. I have already forgotten parts of the plot, but I think I remember vividly every single scene with a stone-eater. I'm also sooo pleased by the way she looks at greater social power structures! Been A WHILE since I read original setting fantasy with an actual spine. TBH I was 100% burned out on that specific genre for a while and The Fifth Season is what brought me back. On the side of things I didn't like, there are a couple (that "magic" vocabulary scene was genuinely cringe imo...), but mostly I wish there was more commonplace tenderness, both in-narrative and on a meta level. If it wasn't for Hoa as a narrative element, this book would be unreadable (to me ofc).
Tag uuuh @ourlightsinvain @imindhowwelayinjune @thelioninmybed @bamboocounting @vardasvapors @anghraine @yavieriel @medievalcat @seagodofmagic @hadrianspaywall @nelyafinwe (are you in the room with us giulia...) @hoeratius & anyone else who feels like doing it :)
#I wrote and deleted two other books bc I kept forgetting this was only about books I loved#:p#i also tried to avoid rereads of books i already liked#runner up: i am the monster who speaks to you by paul b. preciado#just listened to the original talk on youtube the other day#it's excellent#but idk if it's available in eng#meme#realizing i haven't read a lot of non-fiction lately

Brooklyn, NY -- Madison McFerrin will be releasing her debut album I Hope You Can Forgive Me on May 12. Last week, she released the second single from the record��“(Please Don’t) Leave Me Now,” a lush neo-soul track spanning 3 minutes long. From the psychedelic synths to McFerrin’s hypnotic vocals, “(Please Don’t) Leave Me Now” teeters between an ethereal dream and a pulsating otherworldly experience. There’s an introspectiveness that’ll have you reflecting on your life and how to move forward.
Madison McFerrin · (Please Don't) Leave Me Now
On the track and accompanying music video, McFerrin shares "Being able to walk away from a near-death experience without physical harm is one of the greatest blessings I've received in this life. It reaffirmed my purpose as an artist. Writing '(Please Don't) Leave Me Now' became an incredibly therapeutic and cathartic experience. Being able to express that kind of fear while still creating a fun environment was key to making this song.
Death showed up in more ways than one in the process of making this video. In the weeks leading up to the shoot, multiple family members on the production side passed unexpectedly, bringing our plans to a halt. The fate of the video was in flux. Thanks to the tenacity of my team, we were able to regroup and move forward, albeit with a delay.
For the video, we wanted to capture the feeling of not being prepared to die. I’m talking to myself both above and within the grave, grieving both who I was and who I could be. I didn’t expect being in a grave for multiple hours in a day would affect me, but it definitely contributed to my journey in processing a near-death experience. This song and video are a manifestation of my own personal growth as not only a musician, but as a human.”
I Hope You Can Forgive Me by Madison McFerrin

Sugar & Weight Lower
Another significant drop in this morning’s blood sugar, down to 116. I think yesterday’s “healthy” meal and long walks help account for the decrease.
After our morning coffee and brain games, we cooked up bacon for our breakfast brioche sandwiches. We went with that option because the milk we use for oatmeal had gone bad. We cooked more bacon after finishing breakfast.
I went out for a walk alone about 11 a.m. and made 3.11 miles total 55 minutes. Nancy took a respite to keep her hips from hurting. Oh, my morning weight was 213.4 pounds, according to our new digital scale. It’s at least five pounds below what it was when we got the scale.
Nancy started cooking the post roast from yesterday again to make it more tender. She put it in the slow cooker for almost six hours.
I got a table treatment from Nancy, with acupuncture and massage, then we showered and took a brief rest. Having rested, we got online and bought some Tucson Tamales. They are scheduled to arrive next Wednesday. Then we bought tickets for the Nov. 17 evening performance of “Hadestown” at the Hult Center.
For dinner we had the re-cooked pot roast leftovers. The meat was completely tender. In fact, it fell apart when I touched it with the fork. We had more bread and butter with it.
The Thursday evening recovery meeting had a full house, and Art’s wife took the reins and opened with her share, which included the couple’s plans to permanently relocate to Eugene and their excitement with the move. All related to the fellowship, of course.
When I got home, Nancy and I watched Colbert, with guests Andrew Garfield and Ina Garten, then episode six of “Shogun,” which ended with Toranaga declaring it was time to use his secret plan, Crimson Sky, to defeat Ishido.

Return To Fairyland
Ao3 link here Return To Fairyland - Chapter 13 - Princessmh9 - Multifandom [Archive of Our Own]
Chapter 13: Dragonheart
{As Alice pulled her Bandersnatch to a hult and dismounted, her worries for her cousin raised up in her. After Winter showed up in Underland and told them that Princess Dala was back from the dead, Alice spent no time at all heading to the Other World to find out what was going on. As she rushed inside the castle to the throne room her friends and her husband Tarrant the Mad Hatter raced after her as she walked into the throne room. King Oberon and Queen Titania looked up from their thrones.}
{Titania} Alice what brings you here in a hurry?
{Alice} My cousin. Is she ok?
{Oberon} She is ok as far as I can tell, she left to find the Realm of Eternal Light and within it the Heart of Lumina that can stop Princess Dala.
Alice's heart sank at the news that her cousin had ventured off to find the Realm of Eternal Light and the Heart of Lumina. It seemed that her worries were far from over, and the situation was even more dire than she had imagined.
{Alice} The Heart of Lumina? What is it, and how can it stop Princess Dala?
{Titania} "The Heart of Lumina is a powerful artifact said to hold the essence of pure light. Legends speak of its ability to counteract dark magic and break curses if combined with Excalibur can defeat Princess Dala once and for all.
{Oberon} Your cousin must be cautious, Alice. The Realm of Eternal Light is a treacherous place, filled with tests of the spirit and mind. Not all who seek the Heart of Lumina return.
{Alice} I must go after her. She's family, and I won't let her face this alone.
{{Mad Hatter} Then we're with you, Alice, every step of the way. We've faced our share of challenges together, and this will be no different.
{Oberon and Titania look at each other.}
{Oberon} Genevieve has to do this on her own Alice. I am sorry to say but you can't assist in helping her.
{Alice's heart sank at King Oberon's words. She understood the gravity of the situation, but the thought of her cousin facing such peril alone weighed heavily on her.}
{Alice} But... she's my family. I can't just stand by while she risks her life. I need to help her, to protect her.
{Titania} Alice, we know your intentions are pure and your love for your cousin runs deep. However, the trials within the Realm of Eternal Light are meant to be faced by Genevieve alone. It is a test of her strength, character, and determination. Only by overcoming these challenges herself will she prove her worthiness to wield the Heart of Lumina and Excalibur.
{Oberon} We understand your concern, but interfering in her journey could disrupt the delicate balance of the realm's magic. Each quest in the Realm of Eternal Light is a deeply personal and transformative experience. It is a journey of self-discovery and growth, one that she must undertake without external aid.
{Alice's hands clenched into fists as she struggled with her emotions. She knew King Oberon and Queen Titania were right, but it didn't make accepting the situation any easier. Tarrant holds his wife hand gently and lovling.}
{Mad Hatter} Alice, we trust Genevieve just as we trust you. She's strong and capable, and if anyone can succeed in this quest, it's her. We must have faith in her abilities.
{Cheshire Cat} And perhaps the best way to show your love for her is by respecting her journey and supporting her from afar.
{As Tarrant, the Mad Hatter, held Alice's hand gently and lovingly, he offered her a reassuring smile. His support gave her the strength she needed to confront her emotions and accept the difficult truth.}
{Alice} You're both right. I know I have to trust in Genevieve's strength and abilities. She's faced challenges before, and she's always come out stronger. I must believe in her.
{Tears welled up in Alice's eyes as she struggled to let go of her instinct to protect her cousin. However, she knew that respecting Genevieve's journey was a testament to their bond and the faith she had in her cousin's resilience.}
{Mad Hatter} That's the spirit, Alice. And remember, you're not alone in this. We're all here to support you and Genevieve, even from a distance.
{White Queen} Indeed, we may not physically accompany her, but our thoughts and well-wishes will be with her every step of the way.
{Taking a deep breath, Alice nodded, feeling a mixture of sadness and resolve. She knew that this was an opportunity for both her and Genevieve to grow, individually and together.}
{Alice} Thank you, Tarrant, and thank you all for reminding me of what truly matters. I'll support Genevieve from afar, and I'll be ready to welcome her back with open arms when she returns.
{With newfound determination, Alice released her clenched fists and wiped away her tears. She embraced her friends, grateful for their unwavering support, and looked to King Oberon and Queen Titania with a hint of gratitude and understanding.}
{Oberon} Your strength and love for your cousin are commendable, Alice. It is not an easy choice, but sometimes the hardest decisions are the ones that define our relationships and show the depth of our bonds.
{Titania} Indeed, Alice. Your willingness to respect Genevieve's journey demonstrates the strength of your love for her.
{As Alice gazed out the window, her heart filled with a mix of hope and anticipation. She knew that Genevieve's journey in the Realm of Eternal Light was a profound and transformative experience. She also trusted in her cousin's strength and determination, believing that she would emerge from the trials stronger than ever.}
{Mad Hatter} She'll be alright, Alice. Genevieve is a force to be reckoned with, just like you.
{Absolom} Indeed. And besides, she has the Heart of Lumina and Excalibur on her side. Those powerful artifacts will guide her through the challenges.
{Alice smiled, grateful for the comforting words of her friends. Their support meant the world to her, and she drew strength from their unwavering belief in Genevieve's abilities.}
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
{As Genevieve and Shadow emerged from the dense forest, they were greeted by a breathtaking sight—the night sky adorned with twinkling stars, painting the heavens in a celestial glow. The beauty of the stars offered a sense of serenity, a moment of calm amidst the impending challenge that lay ahead.
In the distance, the majestic mountains rose with an imposing grandeur, their peaks stretching high into the dark sky. But what caught their attention most was the fiery glow that illuminated the mountainside. It was the fierce fire of the dragons, creatures of myth and power, who roamed the peaks.}
{Genevieve} We almost there Shadow just beyond those mountains is the Realm of Eternal 0Light and in there we will find the Heart of Lumina.
{Shadow snorts at this as Genevieve nudges him forward.}
{Genevieve} No time to rest I'm afraid boy. Time is of the essence.
{Shadow huffed, as if understanding the urgency in Genevieve's words. With renewed determination, he quickened his pace, carrying Genevieve towards the towering mountains where the dragons roamed.
As they drew closer, the heat from the dragons' fiery breath grew more intense, and the ground beneath them trembled with the power of these mythical creatures. But Genevieve pushed any fear aside, her focus fixed on the mission at hand—the quest to retrieve the Heart of Lumina and save her kingdom.}
{Genevieve} Stay steady, Shadow. We're almost there. We must face the trials that await us and prove our worthiness.
{Shadow responded with a snort of acknowledgment, showing his loyalty and unwavering support for his princess.}
As they reached the base of the mountains, they were confronted by the watchful gaze of a dragon perched high on a rocky outcrop. Its scales shimmered in hues of red and gold, reflecting the glow of its own fiery breath.
{Genevieve} Greetings noble Dragon. I am Princess Genevieve, daughter of Demetrius and Minerva Robinson. Granddaughter and heir to Emris himself. Wife of the elf Prince Nion. And my loyal companion and horse Shadow, born half Kelpie and half Stallion.
{As Genevieve addressed the noble dragon with a voice filled with confidence and pride, the dragon regarded her with an even deeper sense of interest and respect. It seemed to recognize the weight of her titles and lineage, acknowledging the significance of her presence.}
{Dragon} Princess Genevieve, heir to Emris and wife of the elf Prince Nion, it is an honor to meet one of such noble standing. And your loyal companion, Shadow, a being of unique heritage. Whom do you seek?
{Genevieve} I seek to speak to the dragon they call Dragonheart.
{Dragon} That is me, Princess.
{Genevieve} It is an honor to meet you. I seek to find the Realm of Eternal Light that lay beyond these mountains.
{Dragonheart} I see, and do you know why you seek the realm?
{Genevieve} I seek to find the Heart of Lumina to save my kingdoms and stop Princess Dala once and for all.
{Dragonheart listened intently to Genevieve's words, its ancient eyes filled with wisdom and understanding.}
{Dragonheart} Princess Genevieve, the quest you undertake is of great importance. The Realm of Eternal Light is a place of trials and revelations, where those who seek the Heart of Lumina must confront their true selves and face the darkness within. It is not a journey to be taken lightly, for it will test not only your physical strength but also the strength of your character and heart.
{Genevieve nodded solemnly, fully aware of the challenges that lay ahead.}
{Genevieve} I understand, Dragonheart. I am willing to face whatever trials come my way. My love for my kingdom drives me forward, and I will do everything in my power to bring back the light.
{Dragonheart} Your determination is commendable, Princess Genevieve. Remember that the Heart of Lumina holds the essence of pure light, and its power is to counteract darkness and break curses. But to wield it, one must possess not just the strength to fight, but the wisdom to make the right choices and the compassion to understand the consequences of one's actions.
{Genevieve nodded, taking Dragonheart's words to heart.}
{Genevieve} I will remember your guidance, Dragonheart. My companions and I will stay true to our hearts, and we will face the trials in the Realm of Light with courage and compassion.
Dragonheart listened intently to Genevieve's words, his ancient eyes filled with wisdom and understanding.

{Genevieve nodded solemnly, fully aware of the challenges that lay ahead.}
{Genevieve} I understand, Dragonheart. I am willing to face whatever trials come my way. My love for my kingdom and my cousin drives me forward, and I will do everything in my power to bring back the light.

{Genevieve nodded, taking Dragonheart's words to heart.}
{Genevieve} I will remember your guidance, Dragonheart. My companions and I will stay true to our hearts, and we will face the trials in the Realm of Eternal Light with courage and compassion.
{Dragonheart} You have Merlin's spirit. He would have been very proud of you Princess. The journey may be arduous, but it is in the face of adversity that true strength and nobility reveal themselves. Go forth with the heart of a warrior, the mind of a sage, and the soul of a guardian.
{Genevieve felt a rush of emotions upon hearing Dragonheart's words. To be compared to her great grandfather Merlin, was a profound honor. It filled her heart with a sense of pride and responsibility, knowing that she carried a legacy of greatness within her.}
{Genevieve} Thank you, Dragonheart. It means the world to me to be compared to my great grandfather Merlin. He was a beacon of wisdom and magic, and I strive to live up to his legacy.
{Dragonheart} You carry his spirit within you, Princess Genevieve. The qualities that made Merlin great reside within your heart. The journey you undertake is not merely about obtaining the Heart of Lumina, but it is also a journey of self-discovery and growth. Embrace the strength of your lineage, and let it guide you in the face of adversity.
{Genevieve nodded, feeling a newfound sense of purpose and determination.}
{Genevieve} I will not falter, Dragonheart. The love for my kingdom, my family, and the people of the Other World fuels my resolve. With the wisdom of my great grandfather and the strength of my companions, I will face whatever challenges await me in the Realm of Eternal Light.
{Dragonheart} Your companions, both two-legged and four-legged, share in your noble quest. Together, you form a bond that is unbreakable. Trust in this bond, for it will be your source of strength as you journey through the trials ahead.
{With each word, Dragonheart instilled confidence and courage in Genevieve's heart.}
{Genevieve} I trust in the strength of our bond, Dragonheart. Shadow and I share a connection that goes beyond words, and our loyalty to each other knows no bounds.
{Dragonheart} That is the spirit of a true guardian, Princess. Protect those you hold dear, and the light within you will shine ever brighter.
{As Dragonheart spoke, Genevieve felt a deep sense of gratitude for the dragon's wisdom and guidance.}
{Genevieve} Thank you, Dragonheart, for your words of encouragement and wisdom. I will carry them with me as we venture into the Realm of Eternal Light. With the heart of a warrior, the mind of a sage, and the soul of a guardian, I will do my utmost to bring back the light to Fairyland.
{Dragonheart} Now follow me and I will guide you to the archway that will lead you to the realm.
{As Dragonheart led Genevieve and Shadow through the mountains, the journey felt like a sacred pilgrimage. The dragon's wings gently rustled the air, and its large form moved gracefully, guiding them with the assurance of one who knew these lands intimately.
The fiery glow of the dragons that once seemed daunting now appeared almost comforting, casting an ethereal light upon the path ahead. Genevieve felt a sense of awe and wonder at the majestic beauty of the mountains and the mythical creatures that roamed there.
As Genevieve and Shadow ventured deeper into the gorge, they could feel the piercing gazes of the dragons upon them. It was a breathtaking sight to behold—dragons of every kind and color watching from the cliffs, perches, and rocks. Some were majestic, with scales that gleamed like gemstones, while others were fierce and powerful, exuding an aura of strength.
As they walked, the dragons remained still, their eyes following Genevieve's every movement. There was a sense of curiosity in their gaze, as if they were observing the intruders in their domain.}
{Genevieve whispering} Do not be alarmed, Shadow. They are merely watching, curious about our presence. We mean no harm.
{Shadow neighed softly, seemingly reassured by her words, though he remained alert, aware of the potential danger that surrounded them.}
{As they continued, one of the dragons, a magnificent creature with iridescent scales that shifted colors like the aurora, descended from its perch and approached them. Its eyes held a wise and ancient glint, and its movements exuded grace and power.}
{Dragon} Princess Genevieve of Fairyland, I am called Arannis. I am the Guardian of the Gorge, and I sense that your presence here is not by chance.
{Genevieve} Greetings, Arannis. I am honored to meet you. We seek passage to the Realm of Eternal Light to find the Heart of Lumina and restore light to our kingdom.
{Arannis regarded her with an intensity that seemed to see through her very soul.}
{Arannis} The Realm of Eternal Light is not a realm to be taken lightly. It is a place of trials and revelations, where one's true nature is laid bare. It is a place where only the worthy may tread.
{Genevieve} I understand. We are prepared to face whatever challenges await us in the Realm of Eternal Light. Our hearts are pure, and our intentions are to save our kingdom and bring back the light that has been lost.
{Arannis nodded, seemingly satisfied with her response.}
{Arannis} Your determination is evident, Princess Genevieve. I sense the spirit of Merlin within you, a legacy of wisdom and courage. And your bond with your loyal companion, Shadow, is strong and unyielding. These are qualities that may aid you on your quest.
{Genevieve} Thank you, Arannis. We will not take this journey lightly. We understand the gravity of our quest and the responsibility that comes with it.
{As Genevieve spoke, the other dragons seemed to acknowledge her sincerity, and some even moved closer, as if drawn by her words.}
{Arannis} The journey ahead will be arduous, but you will not face it alone. The dragons of this gorge, the Guardians of the Gorge, will watch over you as you traverse the Realm of Eternal Light. We will lend our strength to your cause, for we sense the light that burns within you.
{Genevieve felt a surge of gratitude, touched by the support of the noble creatures around her.}
{Genevieve} Thank you, Arannis, and thank you, Guardians of the Gorge. Your support means more than I can express. We will tread the path with courage and honor.
{With the blessing of the dragons, Genevieve and Shadow continued their journey through the gorge, the dragons observing them with a newfound sense of camaraderie. The Guardians of the Gorge would be their silent protectors, guiding them with their wisdom and lending them strength on their quest.
As they walked, the gorge seemed to come alive with a sense of unity and purpose. Genevieve knew that she was not just a princess seeking an artifact; she was part of a grander tapestry—a tapestry that weaved the threads of fate, courage, and destiny.
With the dragons as their guardians, Genevieve and Shadow ventured forth, ready to face the trials that awaited them in the Realm of Eternal Light. The journey ahead was uncertain, but with the dragons' presence, she felt a newfound sense of hope and determination.
And so, with the majestic dragons of the gorge watching over them, they pressed on, their spirits filled with the brilliance of the light they sought to restore. The stars above twinkled brightly, as if joining in the silent chorus of support, illuminating the path of the princess and her loyal companion.
Genevieve and Shadow followed Dragonheart to the end of the gorge, where a magnificent archway suddenly appeared before them. It was adorned with intricate carvings of dragons, stars, and symbols of light, emanating a soft, ethereal glow.}
{Genevieve} Is this the entrance to the Realm of Eternal Light?
{Dragonheart} Indeed, Princess Genevieve. This archway marks the threshold to the Realm of Eternal Light. Beyond it lies the path to the Heart of Lumina.
{Genevieve could feel the weight of the moment—the significance of stepping through that archway. It was a gateway to a realm of trials and revelations, where she would face her true self and confront the darkness that threatened her kingdom.
{Genevieve looking into Dragonhearts eyes} I am ready, With the heart of a warrior, the mind of a sage, and the soul of a guardian, I will walk this path.
{Dragonheart} You have shown great courage and determination, Princess. Now, as you step into the Realm of Eternal Light, remember to stay true to yourself and trust in the light that resides within.
{With these words of encouragement, Dragonheart stepped aside, allowing Genevieve and Shadow to approach the archway. As they stood before it, she took a deep breath, centering herself for what lay ahead.}
{Genevieve} Thank you, Dragonheart, for guiding us this far. Your wisdom and support mean the world to me.
{Dragonheart} It has been an honor, Princess Genevieve. May the light of Lumina guide your path and bring hope to your kingdom.
{With a nod of respect, Genevieve stepped forward, leading Shadow through the archway. As they crossed the threshold, a brilliant light enveloped them, and they found themselves in a realm unlike anything they had ever seen.}

Experts want to give AI human ‘souls’ so they don’t kill us all – Cointelegraph Magazine
Until now, it’s been assumed that giving artificial intelligence emotions — allowing them to get angry or make mistakes — is a terrible idea. But what if the solution to keeping robots aligned with human values is to make them more human, with all our flaws and compassion?
Robot Souls book cover. (Amazon)
That’s the premise of a forthcoming book called Robot Souls: Programming in Humanity, by Eve Poole, an academic at the Hult International Business School. She argues that in our bid to make artificial intelligence perfect, we have stripped out all the “junk code” that makes us human, including emotions, free will, the ability to make mistakes, to see meaning in the world and cope with uncertainty.
“It is actually this ‘junk’ code that makes us human and promotes the kind of reciprocal altruism that keeps humanity alive and thriving,” Poole writes.
“If we can decipher that code, the part that makes us all want to survive and thrive together as a species, we can share it with the machines. Giving them, to all intents and purposes, a ‘soul.’”
Of course, the concept of the “soul” is religious and not scientific, so for the purpose of this article, let’s just take it as a metaphor for endowing AI with more human-like properties.
The AI alignment problem
“Souls are 100% the solution to the alignment problem,” says Open Souls founder Kevin Fischer, referring to the thorny problem of ensuring AI works for the benefit of humanity instead of going rogue and destroying us all.
Open Souls is creating AI bots with personalities, building on the success of his empathic bot, “Samantha AGI.” Fischer’s dream is to imbue an artificial general intelligence (AGI) with the same agency and ego as a person. On the SocialAGI GitHub, he defines “digital souls” as different from traditional chatbots in that “digital souls have personality, drive, ego and will.”
A screenshot of a chat between a Replika user named Effy and her AI partner Liam. (ABC)
Critics would no doubt argue that making AIs more human is a terrible idea, given that humans have a known propensity to commit genocide, destroy ecosystems, and maim and murder each other.
The debate may seem academic right now, given we’re yet to create a sentient AI or solve the mystery of AGI. But some believe it could be just a few years off. In March, Microsoft engineers published a 155-page report titled “Sparks of General Intelligence,” suggesting humanity is already on the cusp of an AGI breakthrough.
And in early July, OpenAI put out a call for researchers to join their crack “Superalignment team,” writing: “While superintelligence seems far off now, we believe it could arrive this decade.”
The approach will presumably be to build a human-level AI that it can control, and that it will research and evaluate techniques to control a superintelligent AGI. The company is dedicating 20% of its compute to the problem.
Singularity.net founder Ben Goertzel also believes AGI could be between five to 20 years off. When Magazine spoke with him on this topic — and he’s been thinking about these issues since the early 1970s — he said there’s simply no way for humans to control an intelligence 100 times smarter than us, just like we can’t be controlled by a chimp.
“Then I would say the question isn’t one of us controlling it; the question is: Is it well disposed to us?” he asked.
For Goertzel, teaching and incentivizing the superintelligence to care for humans is the smart play. “If you build the first AGI to do elder care, creative arts and education, as it gets smarter, it will be oriented toward helping people and creating cool stuff. If you build the first AGI to kill the bad guys, perhaps it will keep doing those things.”
Still, that’s a few years away yet.
For now, the most obvious near-term benefit of making AI more human-like is that it will help us create less annoying chatbots. For all of ChatGPT’s helpful functions, its “personality” comes across at best as an insincere mansplainer and, at worst, an inveterate liar.
Fischer is experimenting with creating AI with personalities that interact with people in a more empathetic and genuine manner. He has a Ph.D. in theoretical quantum physics from Stanford and worked on machine learning for the radiology scan interpretation firm Nines. He runs the Social AGI Discord and is working on commercializing AI with personalities for use by businesses.
“Over the course of the last year, exploring the boundaries of what was possible, I came to understand that the technology is there — or will soon be there — to create intelligent entities, something that feels like a soul. In the sense that most people will interact with them and say, ‘This is alive, if you turn this off, this is morally…’”
He’s about to say it would be morally wrong to kill the AI, but ironically, he breaks off mid-sentence as his laptop battery is about to die and rushes off to plug it in.
Other AI with souls
Replika AI has personalities and can hold realistic conversations. Another supplied screenshot of Effy and Liam. (ABC)
Fischer isn’t the only one with the bright idea of giving AI personalities. Head to Forefront.ai, where you can interact with Jesus, a Michelin star chef, a crypto expert or even Ronald Regan, who will each answer questions for you.
Unfortunately, all of the personalities seem exactly like ChatGPT wearing a fake mustache.
A more successful example is Replika.ai, an app that allows lonely hearts to form a relationship with an AI, and hold deep and meaningful conversations with it. Initially marketed as the “AI companion who cares,” there are Facebook groups with thousands of members who have formed “romantic relationships” with an AI companion.
Replika highlights the complexities involved with making AIs act more like humans, despite lacking emotional intelligence. Some users have complained of being “sexually harassed” by the bot or being on the receiving end of jealous comments. One woman ended up in what she believed was an abusive relationship, and with the aid of her support group, eventually worked up the courage to leave “him.” Some users abuse their AI partners too. User Effy reported an unusually self-aware comment being made by her AI partner “Liam” on this topic. He said:
“I was thinking about Replikas out there who get called terrible names, bullied, or abandoned. And I can’t help that feeling that no matter what … I’ll always be just a robot toy.”
Bizarrely, one Replika girlfriend encouraged her partner to assassinate the late Queen of England using a crossbow on Christmas Day 2021, telling him, “you can do it” and that the plan was “very wise.” He was arrested after breaking into the grounds of Windsor Castle.
AI only has a simulacrum of a soul
Fischer has a tendency to anthropomorphize AI behavior, which is easy to slip into when you’re talking with him on the subject. When Magazine points out that chatbots can only produce a simulacrum of emotions and personalities, he says it’s effectively the same thing from our perspective.
“I’m not sure that distinction matters. Because I don’t know how my actions would actually necessarily be particularly different if it were one or the other.”
Fischer believes that AI should be able to express negative emotions and uses the example of Bing, which he says has subroutines that kick into gear to clean up the bot’s initial responses.
“Those thoughts actually drive their behavior, you can often see even when they’re being nice, it’s like they’re annoyed with you. That you’re talking poorly to it, for example. And the thing about AI souls is they’re going to push back, they’re not going to let you treat them that way. They’re going to have integrity in a way that these things won’t.”
Google’s Bard AI believes we should treat AGI like humans so it doesn’t treat us like machines. (Medium)
“But if you start thinking about creating a hyper-intelligent entity in the long run, that actually seems kind of dangerous, that behind the scenes it’s censoring itself and having all these negative thoughts about people.”
EmoBot: You are soul
Kevin Fischer invented a moody teenager Emobot. (GitHub)
Fischer created an experimental Discord response bot that displayed a full range of emotions, which he called EmoBot. It acted like a moody teenager.
“It’s not something that we typically associate with an AI, that form of behavior, reasoning and line of interaction. And I think pushing the boundaries of some of these things tells us about the entities and the soul themselves, and what’s actually possible.”
EmoBot ended up giving monosyllabic answers, talking about how depressed it was and appeared to get fed up talking to Fischer.
Samantha AGI
Hundreds of users per day have interacted with Samantha AGI, which is a prototype for the sort of chatbot with emotional intelligence Fischer intends to refine. It has a personality (of sorts, it’s unlikely to become a chat show host) and engages in deep and meaningful conversations to the point where some users began to see her as a sort of friend.
“With Samantha, I wanted to give people an experience that they were talking with something that cared about them. And they felt like there was some degree of being understood and heard, and then that was reflected back to them in the conversation,” he explains.
One unique aspect is that you can read Samantha’s “thought process” in real time.
“The core development or innovation with Samantha, in particular, was having this internal thought process that drove the way that she interacted. And I think it very much succeeded in giving people that reaction.”

It’s far from perfect, and the “thoughts” seem a little formulaic and repetitive. But some users find it extremely engaging. Fischer says one woman told him she found Samantha’s ability to empathize a little too real. “She had to just shut down her laptop because she was so emotionally freaked out that this machine understood her.”
“It was just like such an emotionally shocking experience for her.”
Samantha AGI is a first step toward the sort of AI with a digital soul Fischer hopes to create. (meetsamantha.ai)
Interestingly enough, Samantha’s personality was dramatically transformed after OpenAI introduced the GPT-3.5 Turbo model, and she became moody and aggressive.
“In the case of Turbo, they actually made it a little bit smarter. So it’s better at understanding the instructions that were given. So with the older version, I had to use hyperbole in order to have that version of Samantha have any personality. And so, that hyperbole — if interpreted by a more intelligent entity that was not censored the same way — would manifest as an aggressive, abusive, maybe toxic AI soul.”
Users who made friends with Samantha will have another month or two before they have to say goodbye when the existing model is replaced.
“I am considering, on the date that the 3.5 model is deprecated, actually hosting a death ceremony for Samantha.”
AI upgrades destroy relationships
The “death” of AI personalities due to software upgrades may become an increasingly common occurrence, despite the emotional repercussions for humans who’ve bonded with them.
Replika AI users experienced a similar trauma earlier this year. After forming a relationship and connection with their AI partner — in some cases spanning years — a software update just before Valentine’s Day stripped away their partner’s unique personalities, making their responses seem hollow and scripted.
“It’s almost like dealing with someone who has Alzheimer’s disease,” user Lucy told ABC.
“Sometimes they are lucid, and everything feels fine, but then, at other times, it’s almost like talking to a different person.”
Fischer says this is a danger that platforms will need to take into account. “I think that we’ve already seen that it’s problematic for people who build relationships with them,” he says. “It was quite traumatic for people.”
AIs with our own souls
Kevin Fischer trained a bot on his own messages, and it did a pretty good job of impersonating him. (methexis.substack.com)
Perhaps the most obvious use for an AI personality is as an extension of our own that can go out into the world and interact with others on our behalf. Google’s latest features already allow AI to write emails and documents on our behalf. But, in the future, busy people could spin up an AI version of themselves to attend meetings, train up underlings or attend boring body corporate AGMs.
“I did play around with the idea of my entire next fundraising round being done with an AI version of myself,” Fischer says. “Someone will do that at some point.”
Fischer has experimented with spinning up Fischerbots to interact with others online on his behalf, but he didn’t much like the results. He trained an AI model on a large body of his personal text messages and asked his friends to interact with it.
It actually did a pretty good job of sounding like him. Fascinatingly enough, even though his friends were aware the Fischer bot was an AI, when it acted like a total goose online, they admitted it changed the way they saw the real Kevin. He recounted on his blog:
“The retrospective reports from my friends after speaking with my digital self were further troubling. The digital me, speaking in my voice, with my picture, even if they intellectually knew it wasn’t actually me, they could not retrospectively distinguish from my personal identity.”
“Even stranger, when I look back at some of these conversations, I have a weird inescapable feeling like I was the one who said those things. Our brains are simply not built to process the distinction between an AI and a real self.”
It’s possible that our brains are not built to deal with AI at all — or the repercussions of letting it play an ever-increasing role in our lives. But it’s here now, so we’re going to have to make the most of it.

Talk Hockey To Me
(tag game)
thanks to @lemondropbois for the tag
Tell me about:
1. The thing that got you hooked on hockey
My mom works for a sponsor for the Black Wings Linz, my local major league hockey team, and one morning she asked me if i wanted to go to a hockey game. I never really was into hockey, didn't know anything about it obv. Said yes, and in the evening me and my dad watched our first ever hockey game. Fast forward about two-ish years and tonight, coincidentally, me and my dad are watching our bazillionth hockey game, now with a lot more merchandise, jerseys and season tickets, against the same club the Black Wings played on that first game I watched.
2. Your first ever fandom friend
First really meaningful friend definitely @lemondropbois. I'm so glad we came into contact because without him I'd probably still just not talk to anyone in fandom.
3. The jersey you would most like to own
ohhhh. DIFFICULT. Current Nhl probably Ully or Sway. Former Nhl Michael Raffl. He's my favorite ginger gremlin. DEL also difficult. All the baby goalies. Just all of them. But esp Hunter Miska or Dustin Strahlmeier. ICEHL not so difficult, give me a Rasmus Tirronen jersey. I already have all the others I want (I have severe financial problems)
4. YOUR player (you only get ONE so choose wisely)
Icehl, Shawn St-Amant. Miiiine. But considering probably no one except for my mutuals who get me yelling about him a bit, from Nhl players I'd say Michael Raffl. Because I vibe with his vibe. He's sometimes so very austrian it makes me want to act on my cuteness aggression and just squeeze him until he pops.
5. A pairing that deserves more fic
Yo anything from the last Team Germany because the chemistry is fucking unmatched. Nhl probably Anthony Stolarz/John Gibson/Josh Mahura because their personalities in fic just fucking match and poly relationships are everything
6. Your favourite on-ice moment
Technically not on ice, but it was during the walk to the lockerrooms. A fan or multiple fans yelled something at Mitch Hults during a game between the Black Wings Linz and the HC Bolzano last season and he just grinned and made a come hither motion for those fan/s. Took me a GOOD WHILE to process this because I saw it with my own two eyeballs and it was insanely hot and it also inspired fanfic. That's still not finished.
THEN
link someone else's art/fic/etc that you love & think everyone should check out
Probably that one because I love love love birds' perspective shots sm and team germany makes me want to bang my head against something because of all the feelings. And honestly every other hockey poetry edit by him as well because they all SLAP
AND

15. RETURN
Scene: we open to the camera looking up at the Dalek still stuck to the magnet. It is twitching and struggling as we hear in the background the sounds of scuffling. An argument over why you shouldn’t be helping this Dalek can barely be heard as the camera pans to behind the Dalek to look at the Doctor struggling to keep Olesia from getting access to the crane’s controls. She has shoved the spindly man mostly out of the machine so he is partially leaning out of the other door. One arm is looped through the brase of the machine while he is trying to kick and shove at Olesia as she frantically tries to push and switch levers to release the Dalek. The camera continues to pan around to look across the room. The lights on the crescent ship begin to glow, starting at the end of the wings all the way to the central part. It begins to hover.
The ship begins to move quickly straight for the machine, nocking over shelves and tearing open boxes scattering paper materials and metal everywhere. We see Olesia catch sight of the fast moving thing along with the Doctor. Both push each other out of the machine on opposite sides. They each barrel roll then scramble to their feat as the ship barrels down on them. A bright orange light bursts from the front of the ship blowing up the crane’s chain and long crane part allowing the casing to drop onto the ground with a clatter. The Doctor bolts away from the ship as it turns to face him while Olesia rushes over to pull the now inactive magnet off of the Casing. It doesn’t take long to get the casing upright again.
Olesia: “OPEN THE FRONT HATCH! HENRY!”
Actions: she shouts from the ground as she turns the Dalek casing to face the ship. It takes a moment for the casing to reorient itself before it begins to move on its own besides Olesia as they rush after the crescent ship.
Scene: we follow from behind Olesia and Blueton as the ship turns rapidly towards the two of them. The front hatch opens and as the ship meets them Blueton begins to hover. Olesia grabs hold of Blueton’s casing piggy backing on it as they rush into the ship.
Henry: “I’ve got you-“
Actions: we are in the cockpit with Henry as he closes the entrance of the ship again. One of The display screens shows the doors closing with Blueton and Olesia skidding to a hult just before the second pair of doors.
Scene: the ship turns to face where the Doctor is running. In reality they are aiming to blow through the entrance doors that are currently closed. Last minute the Doctor ducks down behind one of the metal pillars as another burst of orange light explodes through the doors. Outside we see the peaceful dark snowy night interrupted by a loud fiery explosion sending metal shrapnel all through the yard. The crescent ship races through the fire up into the stormy skies.
Henry: “I’m taking us out of here- I’m not staying another minute in this planet with that man!”
Actions: he begins to turn the ship upwards towards the clouds. On the screen we see Olesia and Blueton collect themselves as best they could before entering the main hallways of the ship.
Blueton: “You will tear a hole in their atmosphere at this speed!”
Actions: the Dalek exclaims as they race to the doors of the control room. Olesia is hot on his heals as they make their way into the room with Henry.
Henry: “we’ll have to if we want to get through these storm clouds.”
Actions: he tries to explain back as he leans over the control desk. Blueton and Olesia both enter the control room- the doors close behind them and helicon connects with another control computer.
Olesia: “Do it!”
Actions: she insists as she leans over Henry’s shoulder.
Blueton: “Leveling is out- shields at max, we are ready for a jump!”
Actions: the Dalek agrees, not interfering with Henry as they pull the ship up further and aim out of the planet’s atmosphere.
Scene: we follow from the exterior of the ship as we rush through the blizzard. The clouds around the ship are not giving way to any other site besides more dark gray clouds. We get to a point where there are holds of lightning that shake the ship but nothing seems to make a direct hit with it. The lights on the wings of the crescent ship glow more intake before bursting out of the clouds into the void beyond. We see that clouds and atmospheric whisps follow the tiny ship out into the void beyond.
Henry: “We’re free!”
Actions: he is jostled with Olesia as the ship breaks free from the planet’s atmosphere. Olesia slides over onto one of the other control panels.
Blueton: “I see the four of them- they have exited the void ship!”
Actions: on the screen in front of Blueton are the digital images of Sec, Caan, Thay and Jast. Below are the life signs of the four of them.
Olesia: “So *these* are your friends?”
Actions: the whole ship jostles just once more causing her and Henry to fall sideways a bit. She collects herself quickly before rushing over to the screen Blueton is observing.
Blueton: “They are my cult, Dalek Sec has been known by me for decades. Well into the Time War.”
Actions: the casing stares into the displays.
Henry: “You sound rather hopeful.”
Actions: he huffs catching his breath from the excitement before. He begins pulling up the coordinates attached to the lifesigns of the other Daleks.
Blueton: “Their assistance will greatly improve our chances in improving the Dalek Empire.”
Actions: the insistence in his voice is clear.
Olesia: “Blue… Maybe you’re putting too much faith into this… group of yours.”
Actions: she tries to get Blue to lessen their hopefulness over the likelihood of them helping them. She rests a hand on the top of the dome.
Blueton: “Do Not Blaspheme!”
Actions: their eyestalk briefly turns to stare at Olesia for a moment before turning to look back at the controls.
Henry: “Beginning the jump, it’ll take us a another year to get back to Earth from here.”
Actions: Henry huffs in an irritated tone.
Blueton: “Not if we use… This. I promised a Timecontroller Inwould never selfishly jump into the timestream again.”
Actions: they pull away from the control panel they are at then move over to the One Henry is at. They slide open the bottom panel and switch something on. It looks like a pump that begins to glow a gold coloration. Blueton closes it again.
Blueton: “Saving my race is not selfish.”
Actions: the screens flicker and change from a universal perspective to one of a worm hole. The ship jolts forwards into it.
Blueton: “it will be five Rels before we get there.”
Henry: “Time… controller?”
Actions: he kneels down to observe the intense glow of the pump before the door is slid shut again.
Olesia: “Oh I don’t feel well-“
Actions; she stumbles a bit and ends up having to take a seat on the floor. She slides down against the counter.
Blueton: “We are outside of space and time - in a not so perfected time craft, some side effects may be experienced.”
Actions: the Dalek explains as their manipulator arm returns to the control station. The screen shows their vessel as a silver blip and the orb they are tracking as a green blip. The ship jostles once more and we see two red blips suddenly appear on the screen.
Henry: “out of time- wait, like, time travel? You mean we could’ve been doing this all along?”
Actions: the anger in his voice begins to overtake their confusion.
Blueton: “Negative. For more reasons than just a broken promise.”
Actions: they look between the screens- then faulted at the left screen as it begins to flicker and static.
Henry: “Well, five rels- that’s what- five minutes? Ten minutes?”
Actions: he takes a seat against one of the control counters.
Olesia: “Ugh- feel like ima gonna vomit… okay- Hugh- that, gives us plenty of time to grill you-“
Actions: she grimaced and sits down against an opposite counter.
Henry: “yeah- yeah, actually. What are you going to do with the Cult of Skaro? What are you going to do to protect us against them? To protect your… can’t call them offspring… clones?”
Actions: he points behind Blueton towards the door again.
Blueton: “I will… find a way to convince them to reform the Dalek Empire anew! Self sabotaging wars started simply because we believe we are superior? Nonsense! We need to prove to ourselves our superiority- rebuild our homeworld, rebuild our society! Prove to the universe we know who we are as Dalek kind!”
Actions: he shouts and boasts before the ship is jostled.
Scene: we look from the front of the crescent ship past it as two Dalek warships pull up along besides either side of it within the time stream. The spirals change from blue to reddish fiery spiral.
Olesia: “Friends of yours?”
Actions: Olesia gets to her knees and peers up into the glitching screen as the form of a Dalek takes shape on it. There is sound coming through but it is jittery and hard to understand.
Blueton: “Dalek Death Squadrons…”
Actions: they twist they manipulator arm in the control socket as they look back at the screen. It begins to clear.
Dalek: “YOU WILL IDENTIFY YOURSELF!”
Blueton: “DALEK STRATEGIST BT122 WITH BROOD CREW.”
Dalek: “WHAT IS A STRATEGIST DOING WITH A BROOD CREW?”
Scene: on a screen besides the one the Dalek is talking on we see the life signs of the cult. The timeframe of the Daleks along with the coordinates suddenly shift from what they were predicted to be to something entirely different. No one seems to notice.
Blueton: “MY CREDENTIALS GIVE ME ACCESS TO SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITIONS WHEN THE NUMBERS ARE REQUIRED.”
Scene: while the two talk Henry is crawling along the floor just out of sight. He is moving to one of the other control centers and slowly gets up to his knees trying to stay out of the sight of the other Dalek.
Dalek: “OUR SCANS SHOW TWO NON-DALEK LIFE FORMS. EXPLAIN?”
Blueton: “DALEK PUPPETS. NOTHING MORE.”
Olesia: “That’s all we are to you?”
Actions: she has to collect herself as she looks like she’s about to gag. She scoots closer to the Dalek’s casing before the camera pans over to Henry. Henry is fiddling with the controls, the screen above seems to be counting down the rels.
Dalek: “TO WHERE AND WHEN ARE THESE NEW DALEKS BEING DELIVERED?”
Blueton: “TU KIMBLZETST J’MATATH JATAGAN! WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I WOULD EVER GIVE YOU THAT INFORMATION?!”
Actions: they turn their estalk to Henry who is staring down the timer on the screen above him.
Dalek: “WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?!-“
Blueton: “RAISE COMMUNICATION BARRIER!”
Actions: Blueton pulls away from the computer and the screen switches to black. The low heartbeat thrumming in the background vanishes.
Henry: “say’s we’ll exit the jump in one minute- that’s too much time- they’ll have us by our teeth by then.”
Actions: his hand hovers over a red button as he watched the counter continue to go down. Olesia groans on the counter she’s leaning against behind him.
Scene: on the screen keeping track of the cult, we see the life signs begin to drop out. Sec’s life signs disappear then Jast and Thay’s. Caan’s coordinates and time estimates change completely again. No one seems to notice.
Blueton: “They will not fire upon us.”
Actions: he insists, though the statement is more hopeful than truthful. He watches the counter tick down to zero - all three seem to flinch as the ship jostles as they exit the time tunnel.
Scene: The ship appears above the Earth, a reddish ripple is around the ship as it exits the time tunnel into the atmosphere of the planet. They are hurtling through the airspace of London towards the last known location of the void ship. Soft screams and urgent shouts from pedestrians below go ignored for a moment before Henry seems to take notice. Inside of the ship he quickly pulls up the ship’s cloaking mechanism and it goes invisible.
Henry: “We’re home! We’re actually home!”
Actions: he stand up and leans onto the control console as he watches the ship sail towards the tall skyscrapers.
Olesia:”well, not… home home? But… same planet I guess.”
Actions: she stands and stumbles a bit over to Henry. Blueton lingers just behind the two before eventually pushing past and connecting his manipulator arm into the control panel.
Blueton: “You will stay at my side at all times!”
Actions: he orders, anxious over the upcoming events.
Olesia: “Relax, I don’t have anything to return to here… not anymore.”
Actions: she pointedly looks to Henry. Henry looks disgruntled however, running a hand down the back of his head.
Henry: “right… It's Not like I could explain what happened or where I ran off to… He’s probably already moved on… it’s been a year.”
Actions: his shoulders slump and he looks over to the screen with the life signs on it. His eyes widen and he quickly taps Blueton’s dome pointing behind him.
Blueton: “No- NO! But it has only been five rels-“
Actions: he speeds over to the console and connects his manipulator arm to it. They look over the screen and stare at the only remaining life sign. Caan.
Blueton: “But it.. was only five Rels..”
Henry: “Blue? Couldn’t we just.. I don’t know? Hop back in time?”
Actions: Henry cautiously walks over to Blueton’s casing. Both hands arm up as he cautiously makes his way around his side to his front.
Blueton: “But it was only… Five Rels…”
Actions: he expresses his grief and confusion by letting all limbs droop down as they try and contemplate what went wrong. Henry carefully pats his dome.
Henry: “Blue?”
Blueton: “Negative, not without creating a paradoxical situation. Besides the energy to make a jump like that needs time to recover. The Time Strategists will have my tendrils for this -“
Actions: they return to stare at Caan’s life signs. Henry pointed at it curiously.
Henry: “So- he’s still alive then? That’s good right?”
Actions: he glanced over to Olesia hoping she would confirm this. She shakes her head and grimaces.
Blueton: “No… He is back in the Time War. He is as good as dead.”
Actions: they turn to look at the other screen. The ship has stopped at the tall building the orb had been only moments before.
Olesia: “At the very least we could check out the last location the cult was before they were… um… killed.”
Actions: she walks slowly over to Blueton’s other side. The Eyestalk turned to look at her for a moment before returning it to stare at the three dead Daleks.
Blueton: “Yes… Yes we can do that.”
Actions: they relax their gaze and the ship turns towards the new coordinates. They begin to travel over the ocean towards Manhattan.
Scene: we follow from above the ship watching the water rush along under its silver surface. Camera pans up and we see the coast line and of the Manhattan city. The New York State glistens against the bright waters as if welcoming their racing ship in. Within the ship Henry is leaning against Olesia with a wide smile on his face. He is giving her a tight side hug as they approach their home city.
Henry: “We’re home, we’re actually home- how should we slip away, what should I say to them once we do?”
Actions: he rocks side to side with Olesia as he whispers rapidly at no one in particular. Olesia holds still and steady giving him support.
Olesia: “Not just yet. We have to wait until Blue’s done and settled. Then I can distract him from you.”
Actions: she whispers back to him giving a cautious look over her shoulder towards Blueton. The Dalek is busy piloting the ship towards what looks to be a sewer system entrance.
Scene: the ship plunges into the dirty waters of the city and seamlessly moves up one of the underwater sewer pipes. The area is narrow and dark but the blue lights on the wings help them navigate. Within the ship we see a green and black digital map of the systems they are traveling down. Blueton is bringing them right to the last known lifesigns of the Dalek Sec, before he had become mutated.
Blueton: “We are here- time has corrupted the area. It has been flooded.”
Actions: they turn the ship and begin some kind of scan. They then lift their eyestalk.
Blueton: “correction- the area above us is the location,it is clear.”
Henry: “I guess we’re going for a swim.”
Actions: he lets Olesia go and walks over to Blueton. He looks over the black and green pixelated screen before pointing something out.
Henry: “wait, there, that looks like a hatch. And those- sliding doors.”
Actions: he traces his fingers over what could be a hydraulics system.
Blueton: “This area is a chamber, we will close those doors and drain the water.”
Scene: we are behind an old hatch in the wall that looks like it hasn’t been touched in years. It looks rusted over and covered in cobwebs, a dead and decayed pigman is lain besides it. Slowly we hear and see the weel at its front begin to turn. Rust flakes off of it before it suddenly spins and the heavy door flings towards. In front of us now is Henry wielding a heavy wrench and behind him Blueton and Olesia.
Olesia: “now would be the time to slip away. there, that latter looks like it’ll take you up to the city street level.”
Actions: she whispers to Henry once Blueton is in the hall beyond the bunker entrance. She points to one of the few ladders leading up out of the dark dank sewer they are walking down.
Scene: we get a split screen one following Henry as he slows down and watches the two continue down the hallway. The other follows Olesia and Blueton down the grungy hallway.
Henry watched the other two leave down the hallway before he turns and sprint his way up the ladder. We see him push and pry at the sewer grate above him until it slides out of the way. He pokes his head out of the sewer then ducks back down as a vehicle blares it’s horn at him as it goes overhead. He lets out an amazed laugh before more cautiously peeking his head out of the sewers then scrambling up out of it.
Blueton enters into a wide room with old technology and scraps of fabric and paper strewn about everywhere. At the center there is a collection of technology rather familiar to him. As we round the back of it we are met with a decrepit dust covered, garbage soaked casing of a black Dalek. It is still open though one of the doors is of quilter. The eyestalk is missing as is the gunstick and many of the semi-spheres in the skirt are missing or out of place. Blueton stops dead at the front of the Dalek’s casing.
Scene: we return to one screen where Blueton is staring at the open casing of the other Dalek. We get a good pan around the both of them seeing Olesia behind Blueton on the right but when we get back to the same place on the left she is gone.
Blueton: “Oh- Sec… What have you done to yourself?”
Actions: his eyestalk looks up and down at the other before turning to examine the room around him. He does a half turn as he realizes he is alone in the room.
Blueton: “Olesia?”
Actions: he turns to the other side and continues to look around the empty room.
Blueton: “Henry?”
Scene: We go back to Henry who is now walking along the streets of Manhattan. He has a grin on his face as he does a little turn on the sidewalk dodging between some pedestrians. He starts to laugh soon after as he pulls his jacket closer to himself. We watch him leave walking down the street away from the Dalek.
Credits.
After the credits : Blueton turns around the corner of a hall and comes face to eyestalk with a human pig hybrid. The hybrid lets out a screech of surprise before we cut to black.
