Anne-droid: the .Zip files

Summary:

It’s hard enough to take care of an alien from another world, but turns out this one’s a robot! Wait… what the heck is a robot?

A collection of short stories from my Anne-droid AU. Not in chronological order.

I will later on be writing the full thing at some point so if you want to read that with the full effect when it comes out don’t read this :3

Query- will you enjoy this?

Notes:

This is a shorts series. If you do not want spoilers for the full series, DO NOT READ.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

What happened…?

Chapter Text

1: arrival



[Reboot engaged]

 

{optic systems- FUNCTIONAL}

{Audial_comprehension_circuits- FUNCTIONAL}

{homing device- COMPROMISED}

<…all remaining systems online.>

{memory- loading… loading… buffering at 99.97%. This is considered optimal.}

[Warning: Data from T minus 4 hours and onward corrupted. Possible cause- large power surge.]

[Gathered corrupted data: remaining info suggests <Friend Sasha> and <creator Marcy> present. <box> also relevant.]

[Warning: unexpected power source has increased current power to unforeseen levels. Estimated next required charge- 9…9…9…9…9… hours. Remove from ‘Priorities’ list. Continue to monitor.]

[warning: foreign code detected. Continue to monitor-]

[Visual senses have inferred a hostile environment. Survival mode initiated. Continue to monitor.]

Click!

And with that, Anne’s bootup sequence was done.

“…query… where are ‘Friends’?” She looked around.

Nothing.

 

 

 

Notes:

So that was a short one!

with consideration i have decided to not do the planned third part of ‘blurred lines’ in order to keep it a mystery, and leave that to slowly be pieced together. Currently the explanation is anne’s data being corrupted.

If you recognise some of the phrasing in this I took heavy inspiration for the subnautica PDA for this part. Keep in mind this was simply her booting up, she doesn’t have a constant voice with her as I’m bad at writing that sort of thing.

if you’re confused as to what’s happening check out part 1 of this fic, ‘blurred lines’.

thanks for reading!
