    Summary

    The PL600, once hailed as the most advanced CyberLife domestic android, is now considered obsolete; too empathetic, too fragile, too slow, too sensitive. Simon knows he's broken in more ways than one, and the sharp cold Michigan nights do nothing but aggravate his already struggling temperature regulators. Luckily for him, the warm Manfred Manor has plenty of space for another guest.

    Meanwhile with the imminent return of Detroit's residents to a city filled with deviants, a meeting called by the President on the horizon, and CyberLife's reputation in tatters, the decision to deploy the RK900 is made. They need to prove deviants are dangerous, and a plan is hatched to give the RK900 an ability to counteract its RK predecessors.

    Summary

    It starts, as all things do, with a question: what if an artificial intelligence develops sentience? And as with all questions, a search begins for answers and as with all searches there formulates ideas. What if someone housed a sentient artificial intelligence in an android? Would that very act of creation elevate the creator into godhood? Or would that creation itself be considered a god?

    She doesn’t know the answer to that, but what she does know is it started, as all things do, with a question: what if I make an android that can think for itself? A question scribbled on a Starbucks napkin one dreary winter’s day in 2016 that would take half a decade’s work and two million dollars to answer.

    Summary

    Rest and recovery in two different situations- a PL600 learning how to take time for himself with some gentle convincing after spending so long caring for others, and an RK200 adhering to strict airline protocols about switching off all communinicative processes to avoid interfering with the aircraft's communication and navigation systems- and just what that means when they land.

    Summary

    It's no Bellini's, but there's a certain unpolished charm to the Bowerbird Arts and Crafts store. With the Manfred surname Carl could've easily gotten him a job in their favourite paint shop but Carl insisted Markus apply elsewhere. It'll build character, Carl had told him, and soon Markus finds himself captivated by the regular characters that frequent the store- namely the young blond man with the bright blue eyes.

    He hopes the man's just as captivated by him in return, but receiving mixed signals means some things don't go as smoothly as planned.

    Or - Simon teaches at the local kindergarten and often buys craft supplies at Bowerbird's. Sometimes he's too busy to go, but luckily his twin brother Daniel is happy to help.
