Summary
“You are being watched.”
Those words have been evermore prevalent throughout the years. Even though times have changed, things remain the same, different faces. Some familiar. Same happenings. Different scenarios. But similar.
However, have trust, for the Machine has a plan.
Believe in its plan.
Understand its goals.
Remember those words.
Not everything is at seems at the first glance.

Earth.exe (Chasing something better than this numbness) by IlovesnailssoLeaveMeAlone

Summary
People were bad code. She had figured that out pretty quickly
Root had learned early on what it was to feel...nothing. To feel wrong, like the world itself was a joke. Pointless stupid. A programme made by an idiot. No purpose. No meaning.
But as her life pulled her down dark paths she began to realise that there was something in 'Earth.exe.' which had a purpose. Something which had power, control, the Root of the system:
Death.
And Death tastes very different when it's held tight in your hand.- Language:

Summary
This is what happened.
The Devil gave Kaina a job. One she couldn’t pass up. So why not, she figured. One last mission. Tear it all down, and she could finally be free. She could be free to be whoever she wanted.
Of course, it went to hell—it always did. That quirk blew up in her face. It sent Kaina rocketing to who knows where. Well, this world is free, at least. Free of quirks, free of heroes. Free of pretty much everything Kaina knows. It’s almost peaceful. Still… something is off.
Something…something is certainly watching her.

Summary
Inspired by Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.
Samaritan and John Greer have perfected a next-generation psychotronics program—
An unholy synthesis of the CIA’s Project MKUltra, ARTICHOKE, and BLUEBIRD, the UK’s Porton Down experiments, and the Soviet Union’s notorious “zombie” trials.
Supercharged by Samaritan’s unmatched behavioral analytics and immersive simulation architecture, the program transcends traditional brainwashing.
It doesn’t just erase identities—it rewires them from the ground up.Series
