    The Psychology of a Broken AI by

    Fandoms: The Amazing Digital Circus (Web Series)

    Summary

    It’s been a few days since The Favorite Character Awards.

    Pomni has been through a number of bizarre things during her time in the circus. Candy truck chases, angel head horrors, minimum wage labor, athletic events, gun-filled battle royales. But none of these come close to what she witnesses on a seemingly innocent day full of beach-filled fun: Caine attempting to take his own life.

    After managing to stop him, Pomni takes it upon herself (and is borderline forced to by Bubble) to help keep Caine’s mental state intact by engaging in improvised therapy sessions with him. After all, if Caine died, what would happen to the circus? And to the humans that lived within it? This was her only concern at first. But as Caine opens up to her more through these sessions, she realizes just how much the AI is hurting and how long he has been harboring these negative emotions.

    Turns out Caine needs more help than she thought.

    He's just as trapped in this game as they are. And worse.

    Summary

    Sapience is a precious gift.
    Like any precious thing, it is rare. Sapient species are scattered distantly across an infinite chasm, left to bridge the gap between their neighbors with eons of evolution and technology.
    There are many, like those who man the 01 Osteclara, who dedicate their lives to the search, and yet generation after generation their searches bear no fruit. Sapient life has not been found in a long, long time, and as time stretches on, hope for finding new Life dwindles.

    Captain Diia'ti of the 01 Osteclara crash lands on an untouched planet, stranded and separated from his crew. Stuck on a vengeful, uninhabited planet, there is little else he can do but try to find shelter.
    He finds instead what he had dedicated his life to searching for.

    Kai Yamagata moved into the forest to get away from people, not to be stalked by aliens. You can imagine his frustration.
