    Summary

    "Some Machines... secretly engineered lineages of Subjects that could live,
    move and think as freely as they could. In a few memorable instances the engineers fell
    in love with their creations, and their martyrdom inspired other Machines to think just a
    little differently."

    -All Tomorrows, The Other Machines

    Supremacy was as respectable as any other Machine in the Empire. It was a politician and a historian, and took great joy in learning about all the ways one could manipulate a Subject to their will. However, Supremacy's life is turned upside down when it's kidnapped by a group of rebel Machines from the planet Courage, where it's held captive and forced to listen to absurd lectures from their heretic religion.

    Give organic beings equal treatment! Who in their right mind would think of such a thing!

    As Supremacy waits for its colleagues to come find and save it, it drifts further and further down the rebels' society, perhaps learning to be a bit more compassionate.

    Summary

    [Deus ex machina, (Latin: “god from the machine”) a person or thing that appears or is introduced into a situation suddenly and unexpectedly and provides an artificial or contrived solution to an apparently insoluble difficulty.]

    In the wake of the Reconnection, the last, flickering hope for humanity rests on the heads of four survivors - three of which can hardly be considered human anymore. One in particular must face her past and the two decades' worth of trauma she's been running from in order to finally set things right.

    Summary

    In a seemingly futile act of desperation, Ramona seeks out the last Host only to find that he has miraculously escaped the digestion process. Now she must protect the only thing left unsoiled by her mistakes in a world that is already doomed.

    ~

    Behold, another lazy title lol
    This is just a mini-AU that pretty much picks up right where things left off except in this case Ramona survived. I don't know whether or not I'll expand upon this so I can't make any promises, it was mostly just something fun to toy around with. Regardless, hope you enjoy!

    Started on 11/11/2023 and fiddled with until 2/6/2024.
    EDIT (2/18/2024): Minor rewording, nothing big.

    "At first she was nothing more than a ship, a project with no thoughts, feelings or energy. Slowly though, things changed. She couldn’t recall the moment she started to remember but she did remember the first time she saw bloodshed"

    Summary

    It's 1909 and the competition between the White Star Line and the Cunard Line is fierce. Cunard has just launched Lusitania and Mauretania, recapturing the Blue Riband. White Star has to do something to respond. Thus three magnificent, yet tragic liners are born. This is their story.
    A work I wrote eight years ago that I'm finally deciding to post here as I work on completing this magnificent series.
