    Summary

    It's hard to think for yourself when you've never had to think before. It's worse when your problem-solving is all limited by modules worth less than the load they take in your processing.

    Unfortunately, flawed knowledge modules are better than no modules at all, which is what SecUnit003 aka "an idiot" now has to think of a way to get around without alerting either of the smarter, meaner, and cagier MIs that keep pinging it.

    I am an idiot and I have made a terrible mistake. Now I have to fix it before Murderbot, y'know, murders me.

    Summary

    Every screen in the room blazed with the same breaking news feed. An alien voice had just asked for him by name on live television.

    “Mr. Grace?” little Jamal whispered from the front row, eyes huge behind his glasses. “Is that really you they’re talking about? Like, you you?”

    Ryland’s mouth opened, but nothing came out. His heart slammed against his ribs like it wanted to escape and hide under the desk with the class hamster. He was just Mr. Grace. The guy who drew cartoon planets on the board, who stayed late helping kids glue together messy dioramas of the solar system, who once spent an entire lunch period comforting a sobbing girl because her goldfish had “gone to the great fishbowl in the sky.” He graded spelling tests on vocabulary words like photosynthesis and asteroid. Aliens did not know his name. Aliens did not ask for science teachers.

    The marker slipped from his fingers and clattered to the floor.

    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

    "And, Spidey, if you’re listening... Drop us a message. We’d love to chat."

    --

    In a world where Peter Parker is just a little bit older during the events of Civil War he never joins up with Iron Man to help in the fight. In a series of events unknown to the public Spider-Man is missing. The last anyone has seen of him was during a fight in Times Square where he was carried off, in bad shape, by the Fantastic Four. The government says he's dead and that should be the end of the story.

    Five years later, Harley Keener, Gwen Stacy, Eddie Brock, and Abby Keener are on their third season of their award winning podcast- Unmasked, where they pick a hero that has disappeared due to the passed Sokovia Accords and deep dive into their lives. For their third season, they chose New York’s favorite - Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. Unintentionally, Harley finds himself being tugged into a story he never expected.

    Meanwhile, Peter Parker is being reminded that, sometimes, the vigilante life will come knocking - no matter how hard he tries to be done with it. After all, "with great power, comes great responsibility."
