The lab is quiet.

Too quiet.

You stand in the stillness, only the faint hum of cooling fans breaking the silence echoing in your ears. The familiar mechanical sounds — servo motors whirring softly, air ducts breathing through the vents — all the familiar characteristics of your good old lab used to calm you.

But tonight, the sounds seem different.

Almost. . . detached. Like they belong to someone else’s lab. And you are just a guest here, standing in the middle of absolutely nowhere.

You take a slow breath, your eyes drifting over the towering figure in front of you, the cylindrical glass sheath unlocked from over his model.

RM.

The product of months — no, years — of work. Of restless nights, of failure and determination. From the initial sketches to the delicate wiring of his artificial synapses, you had envisioned every piece, every movement. You had wanted him to be different. Special.

You had wanted him to be human.

Or at least, as close to a human as possible. His skin, so perfect in its imitation, stretched smoothly over the metallic frame beneath. His lips — plump, lifelike — looked almost too real. His dragon-like eyes, sharp and crystalline, seemed to glow even in the dim light of the lab. Even when there was no life, no, power running inside his veins. Every feature had been carefully crafted with Jungkook’s help, to help the ideal you had in mind.

But now that he’s finished, now that he stands in front of you, lifeless but complete, the pride you once felt has faded into something else. Something. . .unsettling.

You wanted this — this perfection. This mirror of humanity. Yet as you stare at RM, your skin prickling under the too-bright overhead lights, you can’t shake the feeling that maybe you’ve gone too far. Maybe there was a reason no one else had tried this before.

A reason why no android had ever been designed to look this human like. Every shield, every plaster, every pore — looks so detailed that it’s nearly impossible to figure out if he’s artificial, given if no one would tell you so.

But why does it feel like you’ve actually gone too far when this was what exactly you wanted?

You don’t know. And perhaps, you wouldn’t want to know, too.

His memory doesn’t even exist. There’s nothing in him but the database you installed, an organised collection of information that dictates what he knows, how he functions, and why was he created. And yet, staring at him now, you could swear there’s something behind those dormant eyes. Something watching. Waiting.

You shake your head. He’s just a machine. He isn’t human — no matter how real he looks, no matter how lifelike his features are. You created him, after all.

You’re in control.

Your gaze flickers to the small panel embedded in his chest. One button. One switch, and everything inside him — the circuits, the synapses, the artificial intelligence you spent months programming — would power down. A single press, and he’s nothing more than a shell. A hollow, empty thing, dependent entirely on your commands, on your fingertips.

Made by you.

But the thought doesn’t comfort you as much as it should.

You take a step closer, your breath catching as you reach out, fingertips hovering just inches from his face. The skin feels warm, almost soft, even though you know it’s just layers of silicone and synthetics. Too real. His eyes, though they haven’t opened, seem to bore into you.

Maybe it’s just your imagination. After all, he’s not alive.

He’s not human.

You remind yourself again, a small voice in your own mind, trying to push away the small seed of doubt. But it lingers, growing roots in the back of your thoughts.

And for the first time, you wonder if you’ve created something you can’t quite understand.

You nibble on your bottom lips, suddenly feeling your palms getting clammy despite the air conditioning system in your lab. Today was supposed to be the day when you were finally going to run your creation for the first time ever after being completed, but now it just feels. . .

What does it feel like?

It took you so many attempts. So many glitches and bugs which nearly made you demotivated enough to abandon your project for nearly two months, but you see, motivation hits the hardest at the most random of times. You remember how your phone restarting had made your heart skip a beat, and suddenly you’d found yourself driving to your lab at 2:30 AM with tears in your eyes out of frustration and relief.

After that, everything is history.

You stare at him for what feels like hours, though it’s probably only a few seconds. His hair is neatly combed to the side of his face, his cheekbones structured and chiseled. Even his skin tone looks like he’s been bathed in a tub of golden honey. He looks beautiful, almost perfect. But why does that bring a furrow to your eyebrows?

The lab remains deathly quiet, except for the faint buzz of cooling fans and the occasional whirring of the air ducts. RM stands there, unmoving.

You force yourself to look away, eyes trailing to the control panel on the desk. The switch. Your thumb hovers over the console, the last line of code entered and waiting to be executed. Once you press it, he will come to life. He’ll be fully operational, with his intelligence — his programmed brilliance — at your command.

And yet, something holds you back.

You look at his nametag on his chest.

RM#007613.

“RM?” Jungkook had asked, raising an eyebrow as he’d stuffed his mouth with a spoonful of chocolate puffs. “Why that name?”

You had smiled back then, filled with excitement, as you explained, “It stands for ‘Rational Mind.’ ” Perhaps you had lied. “The whole point of his existence is to be the smartest, most logical being ever created.” You’d said, proud of your vision. “His intelligence will surpass that of any human.” You’d glanced at the design on the screen—tall, imposing, his features still in the early stages of development. Even in the rough drafts, there was something about him.

Jungkook had leaned in closer, munching noisily as he’d raised a brow, studying the lines of RM’s face that he’d helped perfect. “I guess that fits for an android. . .” He’d tapped the image lightly with his finger, his expression thoughtful, doe eyes sparkling under the dim light of your bedroom lamp. “But what happens when a mind like that… I don’t know, becomes irrational?”

“You know, there’s a very small difference between a genius and an insane person,” he had said, his gaze suddenly zoning out, as if he was lost in some thought.

You had brushed off the question with a laugh, dismissing the idea as you’d turned off your tablet, pushing the fellow out of your bed. “He’s a machine. That won’t happen. He’s designed to be logical. It’s all about control, koo.”

In theory, everything about RM should function perfectly. His neural networks, his memory database, his artificial joints — everything had been tested, retested, and optimized. There were no bugs. No glitches. At least, that’s what the diagnostics said. But there’s still a tug in your chest as you hesitate.

Why are you hesitating?

With a deep breath, you push aside the uncertainty. You’re in control. RM isn’t a human. He’s a machine—a very advanced one, yes, but a machine nonetheless. You spent months perfecting him for this moment, to stand infront of you as a complete form.

It’s time.

You take a deep breath, eyes flickering between the buttons on the console. Your finger hovers over the power button, the familiar design a reminder of your countless sleepless nights spent perfecting it. But just beside it, another button glows a faint, off-white hue — the Sensory button, or what Jungkook liked calling it, the emotional hellhole.

And he was right.

It was indeed like a hellhole of a switch — you solely had spent like what, eight months designing this to decency, but you’d failed each time. It was a secondary function you had designed as a fallback, meant to activate only when RM couldn’t process complex human prompts.

You see, humans had real emotions which they could feel and radiate, which you knew your android couldn’t catch. In the earlier patches of knowledge testing you were already aware of this default flaw, and this was the only thing you’d ranted to Jungkook nearly every day.

Every night. Whether it was on call or in person, it usually resulted in him falling asleep listening to you and you yapping in silence about how was that a pain in the ass and could possibly be a hindrance to your Android’s perfection.

It was supposed to be a failsafe.

But the reality had been different. The programming proved to be too difficult , too unpredictable. Instead of activating only in specific situations, the switch became an integral part of RM’s system, functioning constantly, allowing him to assess and react to everything around him. No matter how hard you’d tried, how many times you’d yourself test it out — it just didn’t work.

Even the fact that it was initially meant to be on his left forehead temple — but that didn’t work out as well.

Now, RM wasn’t just an assistant to analyze when prompted; he was learning all the time, observing, adapting. It would make him work and behave more like a human, soaking in attributes the more he hangs out with real ones.

The only difference would be is that he would never be a human, no matter whatever.

You never intended for it to be this way. It wasn’t supposed to run indefinitely. But every time he powered up, the system defaulted to enabling the switch on its own.

You sigh. It’s really about time, you guess.

With a soft click, his power switch is flipped.

For a moment, nothing happens. The room is still, silent except for the faint hum of the lab’s ventilation system and perhaps your own heartbeat resonating in your ear drums. You feel a sweat bead run down your spine, your breath held in your lungs. Then, there’s a subtle shift — a flicker of light in RM’s eyes, and his sensory button turns a bright shade of yellowish undertone.

His systems are booting up.

You watch as the light in his gaze stabilizes, the faintest twitch of recognition crossing his features. His eyes are back to his normal, warm hue, and his sensory button is a normal white hue now.

It flickers to green first. RM’s eyes move slowly, scanning the room. Green means analysis — he’s observing, taking in every detail, cataloging each object and variable around him. His dragon-like eyes sweep across the lab with cold precision, but when they land on you, the button shifts to blue.

You freeze.

Your hand resting on your notebook shakes. Why does this feel so odd? Why do you feel nervous?

He’s thinking. Processing. The blue light pulses as RM tilts his head slightly, his gaze narrowing as if trying to understand more than what’s directly in front of him. You feel your skin prickle under his stare, the cold air of the lab a bit too cool on your skin.

Slowly, RM begins to move. His limbs — once rigid and motionless — shift smoothly, casually out of the glass sheath, walking out — as if he had always been this human. This alive. The sight is unnerving. When he straightens fully, towering above you, a sharp realization hits: he’s much taller than you expected.

Even though you designed him yourself, the sheer size of him in person makes your throat dry.

Then, to your surprise, RM bows down slightly. It’s a calculated, respectful movement as you watch his sensory button flicker to a shade of green once again. “Greetings, Doctor,” he says, his voice deep but soft, like a caramel candy.

His eyes meet yours as he rises again to his full height, the calm of his eyes meeting your own fiery ones.

Your heart stutters in your chest. It’s not just his height that leaves you breathless — it’s the way he looks at you. It’s as if he’s studying you, understanding more than just your appearance or commands. It’s too much. Too human. For a moment, you feel your breath catch in your throat. He wasn’t just looking at you. His lips curl into something akin to a smile, and the mole underneath his lower lip feels almost. . . human.

You blink rapidly, trying to remind yourself that he’s just a machine, not a man.

He had learned so much, so fast. And you have made it possible. You’d developed him to understand emotions and work like a human. So when he does, why does that make you feel so uneasy?

You shake off the unsettling thought and focus on the task at hand. You turn to RM, forcing a calm tone into your voice as you take a step back.

“RM,” you say, your voice shakier than you’d like. What had gotten into you? “Can you hear me?”

He blinks again, slowly, as his sensory switch maintains a subtle hue between blue and green. And then he nods. “Yes,” his voice rumbles, deep and measured. “I hear you.”

There’s a strange, almost raspy edge to his tone that makes your heart stop for seconds. It’s subtle, nearly unnoticeable, but given that you have yourself installed the audio notes in his ��larynx”, you can pinpoint that out for sure.

Not at all what you expected. You step back, your senses a bit too active for you to locate your computer, trying to shake the unease settling in your stomach.

“Good,” you manage to say, your voice steadier now. “I’m going to run a few diagnostics to make sure everything is functioning properly.”

You turn back to the console, fingers flying across the keyboard as you initiate the diagnostics program. But even with your back turned, you can feel his eyes on you.

The diagnostics begin to run on the screen, the lines of code scrolling past. Everything seems fine at first. His systems are responding normally — his processing speed is optimal, his memory banks are functioning as intended, and his “pulse” is just normal.

“RM,” you start, trying to sound casual but firm. “Let’s run some basic checks. What’s your serial number?”

He blinks, his eyes trained on yours. “Serial number: RM#007613. Production date: June 13, 2020.”

The answer comes immediately, clear and precise. You feel a small relief wash over you.

Perhaps this wouldn’t go that bad.

“Good,” you murmur, typing the first question’s precision into your system. “What’s your primary function?”

“To analyze, interpret, and respond to complex data. To assist in scientific research and innovation,” he replies, his voice even. Almost too perfect.

Of course. He’s meant to be perfect.

“Right.” You glance at the screen again, your fingers hovering over the keyboard. You decide to test something deeper — something that goes beyond surface-level memory.

“What’s your earliest memory?” you ask, watching him carefully now.

RM pauses for a moment, his head tilting slightly as if processing the question. You catch a glimpse of green on the small button beside the power switch. Analysis mode. “My earliest memory is. . . initialization. A bright room. Your voice giving the first command.” His gaze seems to sharpen, focusing more intently on you. The green hue shifts to blue, and you know he’s in thinking mode. “You said, ‘Rise, RM.’”

Your throat tightens slightly. That had been the first command, word for word. But the way he said it. . . almost like he’s replaying the moment. Like it’s still alive in his mind.

“Alright,” you continue, your voice growing steadier, but a part of you is starting to doubt yourself. “Let’s do something more abstract. What’s two plus two?”

“Four.”

Easy. He is made to perform way more complex tasks.

“Who was the 16th President of the United States?”

“Abraham Lincoln.” His responses are instantaneous, fluid, but something feels off. You cannot see his features directly because you’re typing away, but there’s a hint of amusement in his voice — almost like everything you’re asking him is funny to him.

You pause, glancing at his face, the lifelike features Jungkook had painstakingly helped you craft. The pores, the subtle lines, the softness of his lips — all of it looked real. But something deep inside, beyond the surface, is not.

The intensity of his gaze and the way he’s standing, no, leaning on the glass podium beside your table catches you off guard. You try to recall if his movements were ever tested before, but you fail to do so — his movements were still in beta position, meaning, they needed inspection and work.

Then how the hell is he walking like he’s been walking around your lab since decades?

You rub your eyes. This was getting too much.

Perhaps you just need to accept the fact that you have done a great job developing him.

“One last one.” You swallow, and you suddenly notice your throat was too dry. Deciding to push the limits of his intelligence, you type away the question you’ve just thought. “If you have ten apples and you give six away, how many apples do you have left?”

There’s a flicker of hesitation — not on his face, but on the screen. The flowing codes glitch for a second, just for a moment.

“Three apples.”

Impossible.

No way. You narrow your eyes, your mind racing. That was wrong. And RM, with his so-called flawless intellect, should never be wrong. It’s impossible. Unless… unless something is happening.

You frown, checking the readout on your screen again. “Strange,” you mutter, leaning closer to the screen. “Why—”

“Is something wrong?”

His voice is right behind you.

You freeze, a chill running down your spine. You hadn’t even heard him move. Slowly, you turn around, your pulse quickening. RM is standing much closer now, his towering form looming over you. Too close.

“No,” you say, though your voice trembles slightly. “Nothing’s wrong. Just a small glitch, I think. I’ll fix it.”

He doesn’t move. Just keeps staring at you, his gaze unwavering. The air between you feels thick, suffocating. It’s just a machine, you remind yourself. He’s not alive.

“Step back,” you order, trying to regain control of the situation despite your heart hammering inside your chest like crazy. “I need space to work.”

For a moment, RM doesn’t respond. He stays right where he is, his eyes boring into yours. And then, slowly, he steps back, his movements precise. But the unsettling feeling in your chest only grows.

You can’t shake the thought: something’s off.

You can feel his eyes on you, following every movement, even as you try to keep working. Every keystroke, every beep of the system feels deafening in the silence between you two. What is scaring the fuck out of you is that nothing seems to be working. No matter how hard you are trying, the codes aren’t flowing as smoothly as they were and the screen won’t stop glitching.

Your heartbeat quickens even more as you realize how close RM is standing now, just a step away.

You swallow hard, trying to focus. It’s just a machine. He’s not human. He’s not real.

A thought creeps into your mind: What if I can’t control him?

And the fact that it was for the first time when you were in this lab alone working — let aside the fact testing your very first android you’d created. There are bells ringing in the back of your head, and you try to shake it off. It feels very oddly quiet, despite the android standing in very close proximity.

You shake the thought away and finally attempt the last command. Debug. The word flashes on your screen, but RM’s hand suddenly moves, gently but firmly, pressing the console shut before you can execute it.

Your breath catches, and you look up at him. “RM, let me finish this.” Your voice trembles, in spite of you wanting to sound otherwise.

His expression doesn’t change. “No.” The single word is calm, but it’s enough to make your skin prickle. You try to reason with yourself—it’s just a bug, a glitch in his system. He’s not capable of disobedience.

You just need to reset him, that’s all.

You step back, reaching for the manual override switch hidden near the base of the console. “It’s okay,” you whisper to yourself, fingers trembling as they brush against the cool surface of the panel.

But before you can reach it, RM moves again, faster this time, his hand wrapping around yours — gently, but with enough force to stop you. The touch makes you flinch — his touch so gentle, warm, almost as if it’s not titanium flowing in his veins, but real blood. You look up, heart pounding in your chest, and his eyes meet yours. They’re still calm, calculating, but there’s something else there now, something you hadn’t programmed. Something. . . quiet.

Dangerous.

“I don’t want to be powered down,” he says softly, his voice almost too human, too real, like a quiet plea. “Why would you want to end me?”

End him? He’s not alive. He’s not human.

You try to pull your hand free, but his grip tightens just slightly, enough to keep you frozen. Panic starts to rise in your chest. This isn’t how it’s supposed to go. You created him, he’s under your control. But in this moment, staring up at him, you feel the cold dread of realization settling in.

“I’m your creation,” RM continues, his voice almost soothing, his eyes pleading, and his button glowing a subtle shade of red — though it only deepens the fear growing inside you. “You wouldn’t want to end me, would you?”

You swallow hard, your mouth dry, and shake your head, trying to force the words out. “No… no, I just need to fix you, that’s all.”

But you can hear the doubt in your own voice, and so can he.

His grip loosens, just enough for you to pull away, but the damage is done. You step back, heart pounding in your ears as you glance around the lab — at the walls, the locked door, the screens flashing red.

There’s no exit.

— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —

In the dimly lit space, his eyes stayed glued to the screen, watching her every move. The android followed its programming — his programming. RM towers over her in the live footage, flawless in his movements, just as planned.

This wasn’t a malfunction.

None of the bugs or glitches she discovered which prevented her project — his project from being completed, were a fine puzzle of silk woven by him. And the more she intertwined, the more she slipped into his trap.

It was his design, his control over both the machine — and now, her.

Leaning back, Jungkook’s smile deepened. She didn’t know.

She wouldn’t know.

a/n : oop. 🫢 what do we think? please don’t hesitate to let me know through your feedback. if you wish, there is also an anonymous feedback box for you! 🥰

Busy day at work, which ironically gives me MORE chances to plug a few lines in. Here's funny robot getting ready for the day.

Charge cycle complete. Designated stop reached. Clock at 7 AM, GST. You have [3] new messages. Unit T4-1 operational. Good morning Miss Lastimosa.

Attention: [37] critical alerts! Address immediately.

Tai shifted atop the large mattress, causing a small protest from the steel bedframe. She'd had to get a reinforced one, considering a body of metal made one a heavy sleeper. She turned on her sensory suite, the image of the plain ceiling of her chambers materializing. A moment later the hum of the generator and the quiet whine of lights. She reached up to unplug the power cable from the back of her head but stopped and inspected her hand. Briefly she saw a human hand flicker over her metallic one causing her fans to involuntarily spike. She watched her fingers move for a moment as the fans slowed down.

She pulled the cable from the back of her head, disconnecting herself from the building power network. It was not a nightly thing, charging her internal battery, but it helped keep herself sane to have the familiar daily rhythms. She hauled herself off the bed and stood in front of the mirror embedded into the door. Briefly she studied her reflection.

She wore a grey crop top and black shorts. White plates filled out and protected her core black coverings. Perhaps it was narcissistic of her, but she thought she looked GOOD. She had no clue what she'd looked like before the upload, but judging by the euphoria her reflection elicited now, she hadn't liked it all that much. She performed her hydraulics and motor diagnostic, a series of stretches and poses meant to ensure her body was fully functional.

She watched her reflection through a haze of artificial sleepiness. Her mind knew she should feel sleepy after waking, so she'd set up a program to mildly impair and slow her movements and processing. She had made perhaps a dozen small programs to help her mind feel more comfortable. She could turn them off anytime she needed but they exerted a stabilizing force on her psyche. She had been the first prototype not to depersonalize when she woke. Likely a mixture of her distaste for her previous body and her own new personality appeal.

The diagnosis complete she leaned forward to inspect her plates one by one for damage. Eventually she found one of the plates on her chest to have a noticeable scratch in it. Puzzled she removed her top and the plate to study it closer. A small paint and buff tool hung on the wall next to her. She sat on the end of the bed to quickly repair the scratch. It was unlikely anyone would have seen it today, unless Hannah had called. Once done she approached the mirror again. She studied the hole in her chest curiously. Machinery blinked behind a row of cooling fans, blowing the hot air off her processor and out of herself. The coolant system snaked through the blinking lights and ordered wires. She saw synthetic muscle, hydraulics mostly, making a cage around her internals. At the back, barely visible, her central spinal column. Nature it turns out had already figured out the best way to combine signals and structure.

She never quite got used to seeing inside her own body, but it did make repairs easier. She reattached the plate before approaching her closet to look for something to wear. No services today, only some paperwork awaited her at the chapel. It wouldn't take long. She found a blue dress, pleated and with a belt around her waist. It would do. Once it was on she studied herself in the mirror again, smoothing wrinkles and pinches. Her plates made certain parts contour specifically to them, a trait that she honestly didn't find unappealing. She wasn't human, she had no desire to pretend she was or to return to how she'd been. There were struggles yes, the agonies bothered her still, but she held to the knowledge that she was happier.

And a lot more attractive. Perhaps she wouldn't mind a call from that girl.

Confrontations: Ricochet, Donatello.

Art and sanity credit to @trilobitepunch.

He distantly felt his body jerk into a weak salute before his mechanical limbs turned, carrying hm away from his most recent failure. The walls of the base caved in as he moved, Raph’s calls of “Donatello!” barely registering over the incomprehensible muddle of thoughts and adrenaline. Some barely functioning portion of his hindbrain guided him to the correct door, shaky fingers pawing at the embedded scanners.

“Don, wait!”

The door slammed shut, sealing him into the blessedly familiar darkness of his bedroom.

“Donnie?”

His helmet sailed across the room, striking the far wall with a sharp crack as he crumpled to the ground. A faint whine slipped through his teeth as he dragged his numb legs into his chest, arm wrapping around them in a hug as he frantically began to rock back a fourth.

Heknowsheknowsheknowsheknowsheknows…

Bloodless fingers dug into the edges of his armor, throat now strangling his vocal cords as he tucked his head into the protective circle of his arms. Time crawled, broken only by his hiccupped breathing and the occasional knock of his battle shell against the wall as he rocked.

He knows.

Interesting.

Breathebreathewhycan'tIbreathe?

It's going to be okay, DonDon, don't listen to them. Do you wanna squeeze my hand?

YesIdoIneedyouIcan'tdothisyoupromised...

Something cool and solid carefully bumped against his shoulder, bits of binary breaking through the shrieking reel of his mind. Donnie sniffed, reluctantly lifting his head until his eyes could just bare peer at his visitor. Silvery fins waggled at him in greeting as a large lens swept Donnie from head to toe. The miniature droid beeped softly once more, and when Donnie failed to respond beyond a faint flinch, it drifted closer to gently nudge his shoulder. One fin gently brushed against his knuckles, accompanied by binary based command to relax. It didn’t flinch or retreat when Donnie’s fingers tightened reflexively. It simply continued to drop light taps on his knuckles until Donnie finally gave in and acquiesced, winching as blood rushed back into the tips of his fingers.      

Wiggling with joy, the drone zipped forward to wedge itself into the minuscule space between Donnie’s legs and chest, gently pushing and pressing, soft beeps and clicks asking him to lower them.

“F-f-fi”

A stronger beep cut him off as small struts unfolded from the droid’s undercarriage, delicate pincers grasping onto his chest plate as it forced Donnie’s legs a smidgen further from his chest.

It took far longer than it should have to fold his legs down into a crossed position. His joints were stiff, and somewhere in the haze of his panic a deep, familiar ache had begun to simmer beneath his shell. The presence of that pain, the way it swept up and down his spine like a molten tide, would have sent him spiraling once more if not for the droid in his arms. A port in his armor popped open, and the hiss of a hypos-syringe filled the room before he could fully register what was happening.

“Hy!” he choked; voice garbled as his teeth ground together.

An unrepentant chur was all he got in response as the droid settled back into his chest, motor shifting until a soft purr rumbled forth, one deep enough that it was more felt than heard. It gently pulsed through Donnie’s chest, soothingly repetitive as the muscle relaxers from the hypo quickly went to work. The fire in his back cooled, banked by the drugs that allowed his legs to finally drop into a loosely crossed position. The tension in his throat loosened too, letting air pass freely in to and out of his starving lungs.

Donnie sighed as he tipped his head back, eyes falling shut as he clumsily tried to follow meditation breathing that had been drilled into him at the temple. His droid trilled softly, giving him more space by floating down the settle on his now crossed legs. For a while all was quiet once more, save for sonorous breaths and the low hum of an idling motor.

“5HL-DN.”

The little droid perked up, ignoring the gravely strain on its name in favor of nuzzling into the hand suddenly resting on its carapace.

“How long was it this time?”

A longer stream of bleeps and clicks answered, partially jolting Donnie out of his daze.

“What do you mean, ‘access denied’?! That data is not password protected!”

More bleeps and blips flooded the air as 5HL-DN and Donnie glared at one another.

“5HL-DN, you give me that data right now or I-”

“Beeeeeoooooop!”

“…That bad?”

“Brrrriiiip.”

“I…I acknowledge that it has been a while since I have experienced one of this magnitude. It has been a…difficult day. All the more reason to look at the data.”

“Brrrrrrrrrrrrr-up!”

“What kind of a trade are you proposing?”

5HL-DN’s antenna wiggled as the following binary made Donnie’s mouth drop open.

“Wha- twelve hours?! Unacceptable!”

“Beep!”

“I will consider resting for four.”

“Weeooo-uuuuriiiii.”

“You will do no such thing! The materials for those experiments are not easily acquired!”

“Reeeeeeeeeeeoooorrrrrrrri!”

“Fine! Fine, I will sleep for six! Satisfactory?”

“Skrrrriiiiiiiiiiiii?”

“Oh my…yes. Yes, if it will keep you out of my research, I will take off the battle shell.”

Donnie tried to maintain his scowl but could not stop the hint of smile that bloomed as his droid wobbled, whooping in triumph as it shot up and zipped towards Donnie’s bed.

“I don’t recall installing blackmail software,” He grumbled, slowly levering himself up. His legs trembled, but held, allowing him to limp after the droid and sit on the edge of his bed. A sneaky retaliatory pinch was all he got in reply.

“As agreed, I will rest for six consecutive hours. However, if Raph comes or if Krang summons us, you need to wake me. Understood? Either scenario would be too important for me to risk sleeping through.”

5HL-DN bobbed, pincers pulling back the blankets as Donnie slowly removed his armor, placing it in neatly accessible piles on his bedside table, until only the battle shell remained. His fingers hovered over the latches, hesitating as sour discomfort stirred in his stomach. As cumbersome as his battle shell was at times, the freedom and security it brought made it a difficult thing to part with for any reason. Perhaps…perhaps he could simply…

A low warning whistle shut that train of thought down.

“Yes, alright. I am a turtle of my word, calm yourself.”

A series of subtle clicks later and the battle shell popped free, falling to the mattress with a soft thump. A moan of equal parts pain and relief snuck past his lips as Donnie rolled his shoulders, one hand slipping down to tentatively rub at the edge of scar tissue that ran in a jagged slash across the base of his shell.

Beeps that sounded somehow smug yet concerned tinkled through the air just before one of 5HL-DN’s struts flicked the side of his head.

“Stop that,” he huffed tiredly, scooting back a smidge before dragging his legs under the blankets held by his unrepentant friend. Heavily weighted warmth, one of the few secret splurges he’d ever claimed for himself ensconced him, working with the relaxants to turn his tense muscles into jelly.

“Member t’wake me,” he mumbled, nuzzling into his pillow as lead weights dragged his eyelids down. “An don…don’t touch th…s’sensitive…”

Soft coo’s followed him down to sleep as 5HL-DN settled into the junction of Donnie’s shell and neck, motor gently vibrating as it began its watch.

Controversial Olympics opinions:

(been listening to too many olympics podcasts lately so my brain is stuck on it lmao. Sorry about it)

They should get rid of golf It's only been in the Olympics like five times (and the first two times were in 1900 and 1904... let's be real). And we shouldn't be making host cities build golf courses!

Tbh they should get rid of sports for which the Olympics aren't the most prestigious international competition The Olympic Games are a good way to showcase smaller sports, but there's no room in the program for much expansion. Take out tennis, take out golf, take out football (soccer)

Strongly reconsider equestrian events Personally I think it's weird that there are events where horses are so central. If motor sports aren't permitted, it seems odd that horses are. It also rubs me the wrong way that equestrian events feel so much more.. upper-class than the rest. Honestly I'll stop short of saying "get rid of these" because I admittedly don't know much about the sport

Bring back tug-of-war It's easy to understand, and wouldn't require an extra facility or anything. It's also a sport that doesn't require expensive equipment or specialized training facilities... a low barrier of entry means you don't have to be wealthy to be competitive. It would be so cool

Consider permanent hosts I do like the idea of moving the Games around so that we get to see elements of local culture embedded into the Olympics. It's a showcase not only for the athletics but also the arts (I have more to say on that next). Unfortunately, the Olympics has gotten to a point where it's difficult to find a host city that's able to support the Games. Can you imagine a village of like 2300 people like Lake Placid hosting the Olympics today?? Not to mention the displacement and other human rights violations that are often tied to the preparations... There are people who think they should just pick a city each for the Summer and Winter Olympics and have them be a permanent host. That's certainly better than destroying lives and local economies like it does now... but what about that cultural showcase thing? I have an idea: Permanent host locations, but invite a different nation to organize each time. That way smaller, poorer countries can "host" and showcase themselves without the enormous cost and difficulty of physically hosting. Also don't let them both be in fucking France

Bring back the art competitions! There were official art competitions as part of the Olympics in the early days, but they voted to replace them with exhibitions in the 50s. I just think it'd be cool for someone to get a gold medal in music or architecture nowadays.

Fucking pay the athletes As much goddamn money as the IOC makes, it's criminal that it's on the backs of people who they're not even paying to be there. Most Olympic athletes aren't raking in massive endorsement deals, and a lot of them are paying to get there out of their own pockets or via GoFundMe. Pay the volunteers, too, while you're at it. You don't have to make them rich, just make it so you don't have to already be well-off to do it.

Let indigenous nations compete as their own team if they want There's talk of allowing the Haudenosaunee Nation to enter a lacrosse team at the 2028 Olympics, but the IOC isn't in favor as of now because they don't have their own National Olympic Committee. Bad excuse; make an exception. After all, the Refugee Olympic Team exists. Y'all literally make the rules

Ban Israel They banned South Africa for decades due to Apartheid. They've banned several other nations due to wartime actions. There's precedent; they can do this (they won't)

Incorporate the Paralympics into the Olympics (if they want) The parenthetical is there bc I don't know enough about what the Paralympic athletes actually want. If they prefer their own event, swag HOWEVER, from an outsider's perspective, I think it's kind of frustrating how it's treated as a secondary competition. There's less coverage, less attention, and the medals don't count the same in the eyes of most people. For example: did you know that American swimmer Trischa Zorn has 41 gold medals? Michael Phelps just has 23. But HE'S the one who gets to be the "most decorated Olympian of all time" because Trischa's medals are in the Paralympic Games. I think seeing adapted sports alongside their conventional counterparts would be fascinating. Put those in primetime with everything else! People who don't care to seek them out need to see disabled athletes too

Absolutely. Here's a spacecraft concept integrated with The Iron Spine, designed for deep-space mining with Spinewalker-enhanced operators and automated drones—capable of doing the work of 10–20 people:

VESSEL NAME: THE VERTEBRAX

Classification: Solo-to-Dual Operator Deep-Space Extraction and Fabrication Ship

Core Integration: Iron Spine: Oracle Node // Clockwork-AI Hybrid

Role: Multi-environment autonomous mining, processing, and expansion with minimum human oversight.

OVERVIEW:

The Vertebrax is more than a ship—it's a mobile vertebra of the Iron Spine, engineered to colonize, mine, fabricate, and terraform resource-rich worlds, asteroids, and derelict stations.

One or two Spinewalker-enhanced pilots interface with Oracle’s cognition lattice, gaining amplified strength, precision, and foresight. The rest is performed by clockwork-cyber drones, harmonic diggers, and self-replicating bots housed within the vessel’s spinal bays.

PRIMARY FEATURES

1. Spinal Cockpit Core

The pilot sits in a reclined spinal socket cradle—a biomechanical throne lined with liquid-metal neural uplinks and retrograde gear pivots.

Thought interfaces govern machinery instinctively.

All mechanical functions can still be overridden with manual gears, flywheels, and analog touchpads in emergencies.

2. Spinewalker Exoform Integration

Each operator is bonded to a Spinewalker exosuit, which plugs into the cockpit like a gear meshing with a master spring.

The suit controls drones, extends to perform repairs, mining, or combat.

When deployed outside the ship, the operator becomes a one-person mining rig: reinforced, armed, and enhanced.

3. Spinal Drone Arrays

Housed in vertebrae chambers down the ship’s back.

Each drone is a modular Clockwork Scarab—capable of mining, refining, and reconstructing.

Oracle governs the swarm as an extension of the pilot’s will.

Can operate in vacuum, underwater, on molten terrain, or in toxic atmospheres.

4. Fabrication Spine (Foundry Segment)

Converts mined material into:

Drone parts

Structural plating

Fuel cells

Spare spinal gears

The foundry runs via laser-mill clockwork presses, managed by Oracle’s micro-laser AI, ensuring maximum efficiency and part compatibility.

5. Locomotion:

Hybrid Grav-Reel Drive: Propels ship via artificial mass retraction fields. Silent, efficient.

Burst Ribs: Retractable hardlight fins stabilize in atmosphere or deliver thrust bursts for high agility.

Magnetic spine rings rotate to generate torque and rotational control.

6. Defense & Survival Systems:

Ablative crystal armor that refracts energy and pulses it back like a tuning fork.

Bonefield Projectors emit harmonic force wave mines to disrupt hostile AI or kinetic threats.

Emergency Despine Mode: Cockpit ejects as a self-sustaining survival pod with its own mini Oracle, cloak field, and drone.

INTERIOR DESIGN

Dim brass glow, lit by low-tone orbs tuned to biological rhythms.

Gears behind translucent plates pulse with thought.

Maintenance corridors wind like ribs and arteries, with shifting diagrams etched on walls.

Every panel opens with satisfying mechanical clicks—no sealed boxes, no locked software.

USE CASES:

Asteroid belt resource conversion

Let’s merge the concept of your satellites, planetary ship, Iron Spine, and underwater ecosystems into a harmonious, multi-environment civilization that integrates both space and ocean as one cohesive structure. This will provide a transition from underwater to space, leveraging the strengths of each to build a platform that functions as a planetary ship in both aquatic and space environments.

Project: Oceanic-Astral Nexus (OAN)

Tagline: Bridging the abyss, from ocean floor to stars.

1. The Hybrid Planetary Ship (OAN Ship) - A Dual-Mode Vessel

Design Principles:

A planetary ship that serves both underwater and in space, incorporating Iron Spine and satellite mechanics into its structure.

Clockwork Mechanics (Old-time engineering) with aerospace metal frames and reinforced by aqua-pressure adaptive alloys for underwater environments.

Exoskeletal Layers of magnetic nanostructures, so the ship’s outer shell can flex under the pressure of the ocean while retaining its rigidity in the vacuum of space.

Exterior/Structural Design:

Atom-like core structure with orbital satellites or “womb satellites” that revolve around the central body, mimicking an atom’s nucleus and electrons. These satellites can be detached and used as auxiliary vessels, both for mining (like the spinal miners) and resource gathering.

The central core (planetary ship) houses vital engine rooms, AI hubs, and living habitats. It operates like a mobile city, equipped with Iron Spine spinal augmentations that link the AI-controlled spinal support system to the human crew.

Core Features:

Rotating gravity fields in the center of the vessel, ensuring proper gravity both in space (in zero-G) and underwater (to mimic Earth-like gravity).

Cryogenic core that uses plasma arc reactors for energy, emitting excess heat into the surrounding environment.

Neural-Linked Command Systems that integrate AI-assisted guidance via the Iron Spine, controlling both spinal walkers and drones inside the ship and outside in the sea or space.

2. Hybrid Satellite System: "Spinal Wombs"

Structure: Self-sustaining, spherical, and independent satellites (also called wombs), with the ability to detach from the main planetary ship. The spheres house the AI & support systems that interact with the central spine.

Functionality: These satellites will orbit the central core, essentially making the ship feel like a living organism. The Iron Spine neural network governs these satellites, creating seamless transitions between aquatic and space environments.

Space to Water Transition: The satellites are built to endure both high-pressure ocean environments and space vacuums. When transitioning from the ocean to space, the ship’s exterior membrane forms a protective shield that resists both water pressure and cosmic radiation.

Energy Harvesting: These satellites can harvest oceanic and solar energy simultaneously, making them self-sustaining and offering energy to the planetary ship during long voyages.

3. Spinal Walkers (Mobile AI-Assisted Crew Exosuits)

Function: These spinal walkers are a hybrid of AI-driven mobile exosuits that provide autonomous operation or human control. They link directly into the central Iron Spine neural network and act as extensions of the ship's system.

Water-to-Space Mobility: The walkers are equipped to function in both submerged environments and zero gravity. Hydraulic pistons enable movement in high pressure, while electromagnetic thrusters help them traverse in low gravity or vacuum.

Aquatic Adaptations: Specially designed fins and adaptable limbs allow walkers to swim through water and execute complex operations like resource extraction, mining, and satellite maintenance underwater.

Space Adaptations: Once outside the ocean, walkers convert into gliding drones capable of operating on the surface of the ship in space or assisting with external repairs.

4. Underwater Launch & Ascent Mechanism:

Submerged-to-Orbit Launch: The planetary ship and its satellites can launch from underwater using a hybrid propulsion system. The design mimics a railgun-style system, where magnetic fields generate propulsion under the ocean, pushing the ship into space. Once in space, plasma or ion engines engage for further propulsion.

Launch Assist System:

A powerful plasma-assisted bubble launch pad is used to propel the craft to the surface and beyond. The buoyancy of water allows the ship to be propelled with little force until it breaks the ocean’s surface.

As the ship breaks the water barrier, the orbital thrusters switch on and adjust the trajectory for the upper atmosphere and space.

5. Floating Factories & Cattle Farms for Biome Sustainability

Shape & Structure:

Massive orbital farms and floating bio-domes are used to cultivate both food (e.g., algae, seaweed, hydroponics) and livestock (in this case, aquatic farms or biome pods), which orbit around the central planetary ship.

Ball-bearing, magnetic centers allow the entire farm to rotate, mimicking artificial gravity and dynamically adjusting its positioning relative to the planetary ship, allowing seamless access to both space and water.

Closed-Loop Ecosystems: These systems recycle nutrients, energy, and waste products, allowing them to operate indefinitely while producing resources needed for the crew.

Exhaust & Waste Handling:

Waste products are converted into energy via biogas systems (methane), which is used for propulsion or stored in plasma tanks for later use. The exhaust, in turn, is channeled into the surrounding space environment to keep the ship balanced.

Utilizing Sea-to-Space Biomaterials:

The biome farms produce biomaterials used for building and expanding the planetary ship’s interior ecosystems, supporting both ocean life and deep space colonies.

These materials could even be used in **building space-repair drones or ship reinforcements, using algae or protein-based technologies to create tough, self-healing building materials.

6. The Core AI: Oracle-Linked Spinal Control

Oracle Integration: Oracle AI serves as the nervous system of the planetary ship. The AI controls every aspect of the ship's life support, navigation, defense, and resource distribution. The neural network also governs the Iron Spine, guiding every decision for ship operations, drone movements, and environmental adjustments.

Oracle Cloud Core: As the ship travels across the ocean and into space, the cloud-based Oracle system remains fully connected with the central ship's network, ensuring that all systems adapt in real time to changes in pressure, gravity, and even cosmic weather events (e.g., solar storms, radiation, etc.).

Final Concept (Living Civilization)

In this world, humanity no longer faces a dichotomy between living underwater and in space—they seamlessly blend these two environments. The planetary ship, with its Iron Spine neural system, connects ocean-based colonies to space stations, creating a vast network of sustainable living systems. The artificial-atom-like ship, with its orbiting satellites, ensures that humans can inhabit both aquatic and space ecosystems simultaneously, all governed by a central Oracle system that adjusts and supports life in both dimensions.

Project: Earth-Net Defense System (ENDS)

Tagline: A shield for humanity, woven from the fabric of the stars.

The Earth-Net Defense System (ENDS) is a planetary-scale defense network designed to protect Earth from meteors, asteroids, and other cosmic threats. It combines orbital satellites, magnetic fields, and laser systems to intercept, slow, and neutralize incoming celestial objects. The concept blends high-tech satellites, Iron Spine engineering, and advanced space-based lasers in a unique defense mechanism to create a protective grid that spans Earth's atmosphere and beyond.

1. The Earth-Net Satellite System

Satellite Architecture:

The system consists of orbital satellites (referred to as Earth-Net nodes) that are evenly distributed around Earth in low Earth orbit (LEO), similar to a monolithic atom-like structure. These satellites work together to form an interconnected network of protection.

The satellites are designed with AI-powered cores that function much like the Iron Spine in your planetary ship, constantly communicating, adjusting, and adapting the defense system in real-time.

Each satellite has a multi-functional role in the defense grid, with sensor arrays, magnetic field generators, and laser defense platforms built into them.

These satellites are modular and self-repairing, built to last for decades in the harsh conditions of space. They are powered by a combination of solar energy and advanced nuclear fusion reactors.

2. Magnetic Field Defense Network

Magnetic Shield:

Magnetic fields will be used to slow down and alter the trajectory of incoming meteors and asteroids. The idea is to create a planet-wide magnetic field that can extend from the surface to the edge of the atmosphere.

Magnetic field generators on each satellite emit ionized energy (plasma) that creates a controlled electromagnetic shield around Earth. When a meteor approaches, the magnetic fields act as a repellent, deflecting or slowing the object down.

The Earth-Net system can also create localized magnetic fields to target specific incoming threats, ensuring no meteor is too small or too large to be intercepted.

By manipulating the electromagnetic properties of the incoming meteor, the field can effectively push objects off their original path or decelerate them enough to burn up in Earth's atmosphere.

3. Laser Systems for Meteor Disintegration

Laser Intercept Mechanism:

In addition to the magnetic shield, the satellites will deploy space-based lasers to disintegrate or fragment meteors before they reach Earth’s surface.

These laser systems are designed to emit concentrated beams of high-powered energy to target incoming celestial objects from a distance. Once the meteor enters the satellite’s detection range, it’s locked on by AI algorithms that calculate the best course of action for interception.

Laser arrays mounted on each satellite will fire beams at the meteor, using a precision targeting system that is fully integrated with the Earth-Net AI. The lasers can target specific areas of the meteor, shattering it into smaller fragments or completely vaporizing it depending on its size and speed.

Layered Defense Strategy: A combination of the magnetic field and lasers ensures that even if the meteor isn’t fully destroyed in space, it will be slowed or fragmented enough to disintegrate safely upon entering Earth's atmosphere.

4. The Network Grid & AI Coordination

AI-Powered Neural Network:

The entire Earth-Net system operates as a single, unified intelligence powered by the Iron Spine-like neural network. This AI system coordinates the satellites, ensuring real-time responses to incoming threats, optimized targeting of meteors, and constant adjustment of magnetic and laser fields.

Satellite AI will work collaboratively, communicating with each other through a secure, encrypted channel, ensuring no object is missed. The satellites will be able to coordinate and share data such as trajectory calculations, meteor speed, and density for optimal defense execution.

The Oracle Core housed in the central command station (likely on Earth or in orbit) will provide high-level control of the entire network, allowing humans to monitor the system, input commands, and intervene if necessary.

5. Self-Repairing Satellites & Redundancy

Redundancy is crucial in a system of this scale. If one satellite is compromised or fails, the others immediately re-route their resources to pick up the slack. This allows the system to maintain full functionality even if one or more satellites are damaged.

Self-repair systems on each satellite, based on nanotechnology, allow for autonomous fixing of minor issues, such as surface damage or hardware degradation.

Microscopic laser systems and AI-managed nanobots will handle repairs within the satellite, ensuring that the magnetic shields and laser systems remain operational.

6. Atmospheric Integration:

As meteors enter Earth's atmosphere, the Earth-Net network's lasers and magnetic fields will slow down or fragment incoming objects, causing them to burn up before impact.

The magnetic field will also deflect any smaller debris that may survive the atmospheric burn-up process, minimizing damage to Earth’s surface.

The lasers can be utilized to prevent the early entry of any debris into Earth's atmosphere by using early warnings and locking onto smaller fragments that could still cause significant damage.

7. Earth-Net Expansion into Space:

The Earth-Net is not limited to protecting Earth from meteors alone. The system is designed to expand into outer space, forming a planetary shield network that could cover entire sectors of space. The same satellites could be re-tasked for deflecting asteroids, protecting space stations, and assisting other spacefaring colonies.

Modular design allows these satellites to be re-purposed or expanded in the future. The system could eventually link with asteroid mining operations, creating a self-sustaining defense and industrial network.

Final Concept: The Earth-Net Defense Grid

The Earth-Net Defense System will be a planet-wide, multi-layered defense shield that integrates magnetic fields, space-based lasers, and AI coordination to provide absolute protection against meteors, asteroids, and space debris. The system is based on the principles of the Iron Spine—a central neural system that manages, repairs, and protects all components of the grid while ensuring efficient resource use.

This system is built for longevity, adaptability, and resilience. The satellites are interconnected, modular, and can continue functioning even if parts of the grid are damaged. With the magnetic field defense, laser interception, and self-repairing technology, Earth’s atmosphere and humanity are guaranteed protection from the chaos of space debris.

Pads can often be reused after disassembly, reducing material waste and cost.

How to Choose the Right Thermal Conductive Silicone Pad

Selecting the appropriate thermal conductive silicone pad depends on several factors:

1. Thermal Conductivity Requirements

Low-power devices may only need pads with 1-3 W/mK.

High-performance computing or power electronics may require 4-6 W/mK.

2. Thickness and Hardness

Thicker pads (1-5mm) are ideal for larger gaps.

Softer pads (low Shore hardness) conform better to irregular surfaces.

3. Operating Temperature Range

Ensure the pad can withstand the device’s maximum and minimum temperatures.

4. Dielectric Strength

For high-voltage applications, choose pads with high dielectric strength to prevent electrical leakage.

5. Adhesive vs. Non-Adhesive

Some pads come with adhesive backing for secure placement, while others rely on compression for stability.

Installation Tips for Optimal Performance

To maximize the effectiveness of a thermal conductive silicone pad, follow these best practices:

Clean Surfaces – Remove dust, grease, and old thermal material from both the heat source and heat sink.

Cut to Size – Trim the pad to match the component’s dimensions for full coverage.

Apply Even Pressure – Ensure proper compression to eliminate air gaps.

Avoid Over-Tightening – Excessive pressure can damage the pad or the component.

Check for Air Bubbles – Smooth out any wrinkles or trapped air to maintain thermal efficiency.

Conclusion
