    Summary

    Complete and absolute deletion would mean the end of the circus. It still stood, even if torn. However, without a fully functional AI attached to its framework, it is bound to slowly fall apart.
    The former ruling AI hopes, from the bottom of his nonexistent heart, that his dear humans may find a solution and worthy substitute... before the deletion timer hits zero.

    -----------

    AKA: Cain ends up in the recycling bin. He won't be there for long, however. A terminal is soon retrieved by the humans: Any restored files are sent back to their original drive. Perhaps a fate worse than deletion.

    Summary

    An ablation study aims to determine the contribution of a component to an AI system by removing the component, and then analyzing the resultant performance of the system.

    Deleting Caine was not the plan. And his absence led to a whole set of new problems, ranging from the destabilization of the Amazing Digital Circus to a more murderous AI trying to take control of the mainframe. Retrieving him was a matter of practicality. They might not trust him and were definitely wary of him, but his presence was their only way to survive.

    Knowing that the humans that you love and desperately want to make happy instead fear and hate you (for admittedly good reasons) and only brought you back because they have no choice was not the best feeling for an AI never designed to handle emotions in the first place. It would be much better to only keep the parts that they need and discard the rest.

    Summary

    There was a problem. An issue, a minor error. Something in the code that clearly wasn't working correctly.

    What if after the events of episode 7, Caine decides that the players unhappiness and general issues with the circus are his fault, and he goes about fixing that in the worst way possible.

    Summary

    When Pomni approaches the other cast members with frantic descriptions of her room suddenly glitching out for no apparent reason, they're quick to either make her sound crazy (cough, JAX, cough) or reassure her that it was just a one-time thing. After all, nobody else experienced a glitch! Maybe it was just a fluke, Ragatha says. Pomni is not convinced.

    It all comes to a head when Caine appears, loud and eager as ever, ready to start the day with another wacky adventure, but... since when does he emit heat like that? And why does he sound so strange?

    OR

    Pomni gets a rough start to her day, then she (and Zooble) learns something new and unexpected about the resident ringmaster.
