THE WORLD'S FIRST ELECTRIC ROLLER COASTER

Granville T. Woods (April 23, 1856 – January 30, 1910) introduced the “Figure Eight,” the world's first electric roller coaster, in 1892 at Coney Island Amusement Park in New York. Woods patented the invention in 1893, and in 1901, he sold it to General Electric.

Woods was an American inventor who held more than 50 patents in the United States. He was the first African American mechanical and electrical engineer after the Civil War. Self-taught, he concentrated most of his work on trains and streetcars.

In 1884, Woods received his first patent, for a steam boiler furnace, and in 1885, Woods patented an apparatus that was a combination of a telephone and a telegraph. The device, which he called "telegraphony", would allow a telegraph station to send voice and telegraph messages through Morse code over a single wire. He sold the rights to this device to the American Bell Telephone Company.

In 1887, he patented the Synchronous Multiplex Railway Telegraph, which allowed communications between train stations from moving trains by creating a magnetic field around a coiled wire under the train. Woods caught smallpox prior to patenting the technology, and Lucius Phelps patented it in 1884. In 1887, Woods used notes, sketches, and a working model of the invention to secure the patent. The invention was so successful that Woods began the Woods Electric Company in Cincinnati, Ohio, to market and sell his patents. However, the company quickly became devoted to invention creation until it was dissolved in 1893.

Woods often had difficulties in enjoying his success as other inventors made claims to his devices. Thomas Edison later filed a claim to the ownership of this patent, stating that he had first created a similar telegraph and that he was entitled to the patent for the device. Woods was twice successful in defending himself, proving that there were no other devices upon which he could have depended or relied upon to make his device. After Thomas Edison's second defeat, he decided to offer Granville Woods a position with the Edison Company, but Woods declined.

In 1888, Woods manufactured a system of overhead electric conducting lines for railroads modeled after the system pioneered by Charles van Depoele, a famed inventor who had by then installed his electric railway system in thirteen United States cities.

Following the Great Blizzard of 1888, New York City Mayor Hugh J. Grant declared that all wires, many of which powered the above-ground rail system, had to be removed and buried, emphasizing the need for an underground system. Woods's patent built upon previous third rail systems, which were used for light rails, and increased the power for use on underground trains. His system relied on wire brushes to make connections with metallic terminal heads without exposing wires by installing electrical contactor rails. Once the train car had passed over, the wires were no longer live, reducing the risk of injury. It was successfully tested in February 1892 in Coney Island on the Figure Eight Roller Coaster.

In 1896, Woods created a system for controlling electrical lights in theaters, known as the "safety dimmer", which was economical, safe, and efficient, saving 40% of electricity use.

Woods is also sometimes credited with the invention of the air brake for trains in 1904; however, George Westinghouse patented the air brake almost 40 years prior, making Woods's contribution an improvement to the invention.

Woods died of a cerebral hemorrhage at Harlem Hospital in New York City on January 30, 1910, having sold a number of his devices to such companies as Westinghouse, General Electric, and American Engineering. Until 1975, his resting place was an unmarked grave, but historian M.A. Harris helped raise funds, persuading several of the corporations that used Woods's inventions to donate money to purchase a headstone. It was erected at St. Michael's Cemetery in Elmhurst, Queens.

LEGACY

▪Baltimore City Community College established the Granville T. Woods scholarship in memory of the inventor.

▪In 2004, the New York City Transit Authority organized an exhibition on Woods that utilized bus and train depots and an issue of four million MetroCards commemorating the inventor's achievements in pioneering the third rail.

▪In 2006, Woods was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame.

▪In April 2008, the corner of Stillwell and Mermaid Avenues in Coney Island was named Granville T. Woods Way.

The Evolution of the Tesla Coil

Nikola Tesla invented the Tesla coil as part of his exploration into lighting, wireless power transmission, and radiofrequency experiments. He developed the coil to produce high-voltage, low current, high-frequency electricity. The Tesla coil consists of primary and secondary coils that are inductively coupled, and the circuit is designed to resonate at a specific frequency. This resonance enhances the efficiency of energy transfer between the coils, enabling the generation of high-voltage, high-frequency alternating current.

His first Tesla coil was a bipolar coil created around 1891, and was demonstrated before scientific institutes from 1891-1893. His patents reveal that they were essentially intended for light production using both high frequency and high voltage at the same time. He also mentions in his patents how he discovered that a single wire could be used to light a light bulb. Generally, light bulbs require two wires to operate – one for the positive (live or hot) and one for the negative (neutral). He also discarded wires completely lighting bulbs wirelessly. Tesla improved upon the bipolar coil over many years using them for gas engine ignition, wireless, ozone production, and to create undamped waves.

In 1893, Tesla developed the bifilar spiral coil, which is a type of coil wound with two parallel wires, known as bifilar winding. The wires are wound side by side in a spiral pattern, maintaining close proximity throughout the coil. It was built in an attempt to avoid the employment of condensers, which are expensive and difficult to maintain. The coils themselves were meant to accomplish the same ultimate object as the condensers.

In 1894, Tesla evolved his coil into a conical coil. A conical coil refers to a coil or winding in the shape of a cone. These coils were sometimes employed in his wireless power transmission experiments and other electrical investigations. The shape of the coil can influence its inductance, capacitance, and resonance properties, impacting its performance in different applications. This coil allowed Tesla to reach tensions of 1 million volts.

In 1897, Tesla developed the flat spiral coil, similar to his bifilar coil. This type of coil forms a flat, spiral pattern. The specific shape and dimensions of the coil can influence its inductance and other electrical properties. The main reason Tesla started using flat spiral coils was because they were relatively safe, since the highest potential terminal is at the center, and also because they better suppressed the sparks, which were essentially losses in the circuit, allowing him to achieve higher voltages:

Another version of his coils was his Helical coil. A helical coil is a coil wound in the shape of a helix or spiral. The helical coil configuration is characterized by the wires being wound around a cylindrical form in a continuous spiral pattern. Tesla utilized helical coils throughout the late 1890s and in his Colorado Springs Experiments. The coils were used in his wireless transmission experiments, and he employed helical resonators to investigate the behavior of electromagnetic waves. The helical shape offers specific electrical properties and can influence the resonance and performance of the coil in certain applications.

Finally, the Tesla coil would eventually evolve into his Magnifying Transmitter. Tesla designed it as part of his wireless power transmission experiments. The magnifying transmitter was intended to efficiently transmit electrical energy over long distances without the need for wires. The system involved a large coil, often called the magnifying transmitter coil, which could produce high-frequency, high-voltage electrical currents. Tesla believed that this technology could revolutionize global communication and provide a means for delivering electrical power wirelessly by using the earth itself as a conductor.

The magnifying transmitter would become his Wardenclyffe Tower. Unfortunately, Tesla ended up lacking the investments and funds to finish his work in its entirety. Some say he failed because his idea didn’t work, but that’s not true at all because his Colorado experiments proved that they did. In his head, the transmission of energy was a matter of engineering. If he had a machine that could send energy 20 miles, then he could build a machine that could send energy a thousand miles. As long as he understands the motive power, he could build a machine that will do all that he requires of it. He simply underestimated the cost of his system. His failures to finish his work would leave him with the public persona as being the mad scientist who had unrealistic ideas for the future.

Ultimately, Tesla would not realize his dream of providing humankind with cheap, unlimited energy in his lifetime; however, his legacy forever lives on through the incredibly impactful experiments, and the evolution of the Tesla Coil.

“Technical invention is akin to architecture and the experts must in time come to the same conclusions I have reached long ago. Sooner or later my power system will have to be adopted in its entirety and so far as I am concerned it is as good as done. If I were ever assailed by doubt of ultimate success I would dismiss it by remembering the words of that great philosopher, Lord Kelvin, who after witnessing some of my experiments said to me with tears in his eyes: ‘I am sure you will do it.’”--Nikola Tesla

I blasted through the first season of FROM and it's frustrating me so much

[HUGE SPOILERS]

[Are you sure you don't want to go watch it?]

[Ok then]

What we (think we) know:

Town had to have been first isolated or formed/manifested in the 50s or early 60s

It moves but seems located only in the USA

No one from outside the USA has ended up there

How many people have actually ended up there?

Victor may have always lived there

He may have seen the very first attack

(Why had no one interviewed him?? What he knows must be beyond valuable even if it's fuzzy from being so young so long ago! When you're trying so hard to leave somewhere, surely you'd at least want to know about where you are?!)

Electricity should not work but it does. There are no wires or working plugs on the lamps for example.

The "wiring" terminates underground where the creatures live and connects to seemingly nothing.

(Reminds me of a story of orcs who don't know how technology works, but it works because their belief it should causes it to work. Is the Child In White connected here? Is it his manifestation?)

((I think that story came from tumblr, you know))

There is a lighthouse. These are intended to keep people away from danger. Who could possibly see it that wouldn't already be in the dangerous place?

The monsters have restrictions:

Cannot enter through any closed windows or doors when a talisman is present within.

(An open door or window can be considered an invitation to enter)

A curtain of plant matter seems to even count as a door when a talisman is present.

They only appear at night.

Also:

They live below the town. (How is that accessed?)

They draw?

They speak.

They appear as people from the 50s. (Did they mimick the first people they saw?)

They know people's names without having met them. (A mind reading connection?)

What I want to know:

What happens if the creatures are in sunlight.

Can they come out in very overcast weather?

Are there seasons? (Important in terms of time)

Do the stars change? (Important in terms of location)

What does Victor remember from the first attack?

Are FarAway Trees connected only to the town?

Can more talismans be made, or have they all been using the original ones Boyd found.

Have the number of creatures changed?

The 50s are often idealised. The creatures often appear smiling and pristine until they can attack. Has to be obvious symbolism but I can't get the words out right to make a solid point.

I'm missing the connections of:

the civil war solider

the symbol that looks like tree roots

the voices that talk to Sara

the bottle tree

the web area

how Jim's bracelet got there

Bloom From The Depths🪷

Able to share my @kairizine fic where our KH girls get to go on a mini adventure! Thank you so much again for having me! Was a dream come true to write for Kairi again 🥺💖

Summary: Kairi is called by Leon and Co to investigate a locked file addressed to her within the main-hub of the cavern of remembrance. Namine and Aqua join Kairi on her journey to unlock her memories with a little help from some unexpected friends. While facing her fears Kairi is reunited with those she misses most.

A magical journey through the language of flowers and their deep connection to hearts connected by the dearest of memories.

Written for @kairizine2023 featuring gorgeous spot art by @mellekist!

From the depths of Radiant Garden, a blight remained, sprawling with cavernous pathways and crumbling cliffsides teeming with Heartless. Even the Restoration Committee’s valiant efforts were not enough to repair the scars left by the Dark Seeker’s reign. One of these blights, the Cavern of Remembrance, beckoned a new visitor: a Princess of Heart.

Kairi didn’t think she would return to her home world so soon. The past year she spent asleep had been long enough. Now was the time for action—Sora was still missing. The plan was to train hard until she could join Riku on his search. However, a message from Leon changed the tide.

Kairi, it’s been a while. Cid found something: a file addressed to you. It’s attached to a code we can’t crack, not without your help. Ansem says you’ll need to visit this place called the Cavern of Remembrance. It’s still swarming with Heartless, but I know you’ll be fine. 

You up for an adventure?

Excitement flooded her veins. It was the perfect vacation from training. Maybe there was more information locked within the garden’s depths that could help Sora!

Bits and pieces remained of the legend of the Cavern of Remembrance. As a child, someone had told Kairi that it was a place that twisted and formed to suit the purpose of the visitor. Memories, hearts, and wishes worked their magic to weave together a place of reminiscence for the denizens of times past. A part of Kairi felt this place housed more memories and fading emotions than met the eye. There was something there she had to find.

Two companions joined Kairi on this unexpected quest. Aqua had long been itching for some adventure, and Naminé was roped in due to her unique abilities and connection to Kairi’s memories. Breathless and hearts racing, the trio made short work of the darkness that clung to every pipe, cliffside, and waterway. Naminé acted as an excellent guide while Aqua and Kairi cleared the pathway ridden with Heartless in every nook and cranny.

The trio soon found themselves within the depths of the abyss. In between indigo crags of rock and pipes of searing hot steam was a long hallway, reminiscent of The World That Never Was. Kairi stood in the middle of the pure white hall, scattered with the remains of fading Nobodies and the glistening hearts of felled Heartless. A large set of white doors barred their path forward. Her Keyblade shimmered into the air, leaving bright stars in its wake as she walked through them. 

Thirteen doors teetered on the edge of nothing—floating above a circular pathway backed by rushing water. In the middle of the circle was a platform, glistening with the light of electrical wires that led up to a series of computer screens. A technological garden of memory and wonder. Its hollow nature, bereft of heart, sent a chill down Kairi’s spine just as the awe set in.

Kairi placed her hand on the terminal.

“It’s strange how similar it looks to The World That Never Was.” Naminé came to her side with an air of curiosity. A ghost of a memory tugged on Kairi’s heart. Once, she had been trapped in a room just like this one.

“Thanks, Naminé—for breaking me out back then.”

“You broke free all on your own. I just provided the door.” Naminé smiled, then set to work scouring the database. Kairi was delighted to see her thriving in her element.

“You’ve both been through a lot, and have come so far. I’m impressed how quickly you both took out all those Heartless!” Aqua said, bounding up behind Kairi and settling beside her. Her eyes shone as she looked expectantly at the computer screens. “What do we do next?”

Naminé drew in her shoulders. “It needs a connection—a memory from your past in Radiant Garden, Kairi. Then, I can use it to connect you to whatever data is inside that locked message.”

Kairi bit her lip. “I’m sorry. Those days are hazy for me.”

She recalled her connections, wishes, and dreams from childhood as snapshots. Glimpses of moments with her grandmother, a moment in a garden of flowers, and a whisper of a story late at night—that was all.  

“Maybe you could use my memories of when we met to bring them to the surface.” Aqua put a hand on her chest and looked to Naminé for confirmation.

“That could work! Then please, think back on that time!” Naminé gleefully touched the tips of her fingers together. She turned to Kairi. “Kairi, all you need to do is listen to the melody of Aqua’s heart. Find that resonating connection and focus on it. After that, just step through that door over there. I’ll use it to connect you.” Naminé pointed towards the door with a shimmering Kingdom Key on the front.

Kairi furrowed her brow. “Aqua, what about that memory tugs at you the most?”

“The flowers you gave me. One was a pansy, I think? I thought it was really cute.” Aqua stifled a chuckle. A familiar light shone in her eyes—it drew Kairi straight to the connection she sought. With the melody tugging on her heart, the princess stepped through the door and into the unknown.

****

The space rippled and filled with light, numbing her senses until the scent of dew and freshly cut flowers filled the air. Kairi’s eyes fluttered open to the memory of herself as a young girl, no older than four, with a small bouquet of flowers in her hands. Kneeling before her was Aqua, who hadn’t seemed to age a day since then. Her mentor smiled gently at little Kairi, and gingerly took the flowers with a word of thanks.

“Kairi!” A soft, melodious voice tugged at the edges of her heart. Who was it?

Little Kairi turned from Aqua to call out to the faded figure in the distance until Aqua gently coaxed the girl’s attention back to her. Gingerly, she tapped little Kairi’s necklace, leaving a burst of light in her wake.

“One day, when you’re in trouble—the light within you will lead you to the light of another. Someone to keep you safe.”

What a kind and warm memory, one that shone like sea glass on the shore. The chains in her memory relinked, twisting and twirling in joy as they nestled in her heart.

“The light has always found a way to guide me and keep me safe.” Kairi breathlessly clutched her necklace, sensing the lingering whisper of the wish. The world shifted in a veil of light, transporting her to another time, another place—one all too familiar.

****

A labyrinthic library formed. The musty scent of old and dusty tomes overwhelmed Kairi with a rush of nostalgia. It was the place from her memories, one that shone vividly in the depths of her heart.

A book will guide you to what you seek. A voice slipped into her mind like a beloved lullaby. Kairi glanced around, sensing no other presence. Curious, she continued to explore the space from her memories.

A soft glow flickered within a nook nearby, guiding her to a book embossed with a pansy flower. Delicate fingers cracked open the tome to see a lone pressed purple and yellow flower peeking out from its pages.

“A pansy, it means ‘thinking of you…’” Kairi mused.

The space shifted, transporting her again to another memory. This time, Sora and Riku’s young sun-kissed grins greeted her, their arms filled with pansy flowers.

“Back then I was homesick for a place I didn’t remember.”

“And we cheered you up.”

With a sharp intake of breath, she turned. Riku stood before her, looking the same as he did when he’d left. “Are you…real?”

“Just his leftover worries and thoughts. You’ve been worried, haven’t you? About being away from us. But you shouldn’t be. Your memories of us are so important that they keep you going when you’re lost, right? You know you’re never too far away. Our hearts are always connected.”

Kairi held back tears. “You always know what to say. Thank you, Riku.”

Riku’s smile faded into the abyss of the library. In her hands was a new book. Where gold once embossed the front, now only the outline of small flowers remained. Gingerly, Kairi cracked open its pages.

A single flower was neatly nestled between water-stained pages, pure white and so delicate she feared it would break. A diphylleia. Kairi couldn’t remember who taught her the name.

The meaning echoed across the chambers of her heart.

“Happiness.”

Kairi!

A soundless voice gripped her heart as a vast expanse of sea and sky spilled out before her. At her feet, lotus floated to the surface, their petals unfurling as if they were reaching for the sunlight. The visage of the final world shimmered into being, as did the fading form of a boy she dearly missed.

“Sora!”

The vibration of his heart resonated deep within her own. Neither data nor sleep was a barrier to an unbreakable connection. Sora placed something in her hands, smiling as he faded into the never-ending sky. In his wake, he left a reminder, an oath—her charm.

“I’m always with you. Right, Sora?” Kairi held the charm close, sensing her heart’s resonance with those she loved most.

So, you found your light.

Kairi turned, stumbling against the lotus dancing at her feet. Each white blossom radiated the warmth of pure light.

****

Standing in the midst of sea, flowers, and sky was an old woman, her cheeks round with a smile and dusted pink. She wore the same shawl Kairi remembered from days spent listening to her stories in the library. Kairi sought out a vibration, a melody resounding from the woman’s heart—but it was barely a whisper.

Data. A memory recorded long ago and leftover from a strong heart. Kairi stepped forward. “Grandma?”

“In a sense, but you know that.” Grandma beamed.

Kairi ran to envelop the woman in a warm embrace. Tears streamed down her face as memories rose to the surface against the darkness. Memories of loss, guilt, and the distinct fear of never returning “home.”

 “I miss you. I’m sorry that I forgot.” Kairi sniffled.

“But you didn’t forget, dear. Your heart remembers everything your mind forgot. Good memories are hard to find, and pain sometimes covers up what we want to treasure most. Try not to hold so dearly onto the past that it halts your future. Any memories you might have lost have allowed you to continue forward with renewed strength.” Grandma gently rubbed a tear from Kairi’s eye. Stars danced in the woman’s eyes as she admired how far the girl had come. 

“I want to find you! I want to bring you all home .”

“All in due time, my dear. I programmed the data to respond to what your heart needs most. To help you move forward. Now, what has been troubling you?”

A breath shakily escaped Kairi’s chest. “My memories—if I just remembered, then maybe we’d all be able to be together again.”

“Your memories are deep inside you, waiting for the right moment.” Kairi’s grandmother brushed a strand of hair away from the girl’s tear-stained face. The woman pressed her forehead to Kairi’s and closed her eyes to whisper a familiar oath. “Wherever you go, we’re always with you. Never forget, take heart, and move forward.”

Light swallowed the princess whole once again as the warmth of her grandmother faded. When Kairi awoke, two concerned faces greeted her.

“Kairi! I’m so glad you’re awake! You just came back in a daze and nothing I did would get through to you.” Naminé grasped Kairi’s hands and held back tears.

“Thank goodness.” Aqua breathed a sigh of relief as she bent down to help Kairi to her feet. She wore a bewildered expression as she gently plucked a purple flower from behind Kairi’s ear.

“An azalea?” Naminé said.

Kairi took the flower and rubbed its stem between her fingers. “‘Please take care of yourself.’ That’s what the message was. Though my heart may be estranged from those I love, they’re never too far. They’re all right here inside me—urging me to keep moving forward.”

You’ve faced your fate well.

A heart song echoed in her chest. The remnant of a memory tugged on her lingering connection. Kairi reached for it.

Like a lotus, stretch towards the light. Let your heart bloom even in the deepest darkness, beautiful and strong like I know you are.

Notes:

Thank you so much for reading! It was amazing being a part of Kairi Zine Vol 2 Destiny’s Embrace. Still pinching myself that I actually got to write for it and work with the wonderful @mellekist. You can find her gorgeous spot art for the zine here! And leftover sales are still open as of 10/6 so be sure to snag a digital copy if you’re wanting more Kairi goodness or merch! I hope you enjoyed this little story focusing on Kairi’s feelings about her memories and missing those she loves most. I loved writing it! Some notes about the chosen flowers below! I really had fun picking which flowers to focus on. These are notes I made during the planning phase and really are just fun extra notes on the themes I wanted to explore. Hope you enjoy this inside look! ***** Main themes I chose were estranged love (lotus), cherished memory (please take care of yourself for me/Azalea) connection (pansy/thinking of you), and overcoming guilt associated with Kairi being estranged from those she loves. The lotus while meaning estranged love-also refers to the loss of memory for “rebirth” and becoming stronger. Through multiple “rebirths” darkness is removed and the purest light is formed. Loss of memory, sharing of her heart with Sora and regaining connections (being closer with Naminé and Aqua) has resulted in many “rebiths” for Kairi. As she exits the data she has changed a bit and had another rebirth. She’s no longer feeling estranged from those she loves, she was reminded they’re always with her. For the flowe she sees when being “reunited” with Sora I played with the meaning of Show my true self for Diphylleia. The flower is called a skeleton flower for it becomes translucent in the rain. A nod at Sora’s fading form at the final world. For the last theme, Kairi reiterates that part of what makes her whole is her connections to her friends—her true self has been shaped by her connections and she is grateful to carry them with her always. I wanted to touch on how Kairi is missing those she’s estranged from and having guilt that she’s not with them—through memories or physically. Kairi also feels guilt for not fully remembering her days in Radiant Garden. She feels they must be important memories, there is an imprint on her heart. Kairi’s important connections remind her that she has nothing to feel guilty about. She is with them, always. Although she’s estranged from those she loves most, those cherished memories and connections (regardless of how strong) are what makes her whole, even if she doesn’t fully remember them. She’s become so strong and taken charge of her fate. There are things out of her control (losing Sora, Riku traveling alone, being separated from her grandma, not having access to all her memories) but what she does have control of is how she faces it—and she’s faced it well. Thank you so much for reading!

Sonic & Tails vs the Lingering Haunt One Shot Late-Halloween Story.

On the night following Halloween, Tails takes Sonic to one of his many Auxiliary workshops. However it turns out that a new Haunted "Ware-"House has opened in the next door abandoned factory. Seeking some spooky themed fun they head inside to check it out even though it should already be closed. However inside they find signs of an out of control accident and it becomes increasingly hard to tell if it's all just part of the attraction. If it isn't, then several lives may be on the line.

Flickering yellow lights illuminated a dilapidated asphalt road ahead. Rotten utility poles creaked as they strained to hold many thick cables against a light breeze. On either side stood tall red brick buildings, warehouses and factory plants strewn with cracks. Far ahead past the flickering lights and under an old electric substation was a small shed with an uncharacteristically well sealed metal door. This whole environment offered many interesting sights of old industrial technology. So Tails wondered why it seemed Sonic didn’t agree this was a good place to take it slow.

“Yet another hidden lair, one of many scattered around the world. What sort of machinations do you undertake here?” Sonic the Hedgehog stretched his arms as he strolled onward, giving Tails a glance of his cheeky grin. 

“Only the dark matters of sleep, microwave meals, and video games,” said Tails, “...and maybe some evil reverse engineering.”

Sonic chuckled, then started humming as he resumed meandering from side to side ahead of Tails. “You really chose a spooky place to put this one huh?”

“Well, I guess if you find cool mechanical computers and assembly lines scary, it is.” A nearby light fixture exploded with a pop, making Tails jump and sending a shower of sparks and glass to the ground. “...And I guess electrical fires can be scary.”

“Pfft, bring it on!” said Sonic.

Chuckling to himself, Tails rubbed his heavy eyes and pulled out a tablet device. It’d be a good idea to disarm his security system so he wouldn’t have to run a  gauntlet to get to bed. Of course there was no doubt Sonic wouldn’t mind that. 

As he watched his tablet attempt to contact the auxiliary workshop, Tails felt a tap on his shoulder. Sonic was pointing at the front office of the largest nearby factory. It was decorated with black and orange paint and a sign that read ‘Haunted ware-House.’

“Wanna check this place out?” said Sonic, “I’ll bet I can get through without screaming once.”

“I’d make that bet if Halloween wasn’t last night,” said Tails.

“I’m sure whoever set this up won’t mind us checking it out alone real quick,” said Sonic.

“You’re probably right.” Tails glanced at his tablet still trying to make a connection, then put it away. 

The two of them pushed through the front door, it was heavy but left ajar. All sorts of custom made spooky art and decorations adorned this office, now converted into a foyer to some scary times. Many decorations were made from rusty wires and shaped into classic skeletal imagery. Most notably was one wire-skeleton slumped back in a rolling chair, its hand pointing at a dark hallway surrounded by warning tape. The creepy vibes here were actually pretty neat.

Sonic had already started wandering around investigating the wire skeletons and copying their poses. His impression of a skeleton face down, fully dead, in front of a computer terminal made Tails chuckle. But after a moment Sonic looked up at the terminal. “Oh hey this things on.”

“It is?!” Tails ran over and leaned over the wire skeleton. The crt screen in front of him was indeed on, showing a list of green text. One glance at the ports on the terminal showed it wasn’t connected to a full computer anymore. Yet the terminal still displayed a history of input commands and responses between the last user and a computer. 

There were several commands to send power to machines whose names were completely corrupted. These commands ended with a mistyped command to shut everything down, followed by a notification that connection between the terminal and the computer was cut. Even then there were three more attempts to command a shut down with no response. A chill ran up Tails’ back as he noticed that at the bottom, one more shut down command was half-typed but never entered. 

“Must be pretty immersive, huh buddy?” said Sonic

“Oh! Yeah, this is so clever!” Tails couldn’t help but smile as he quickly recounted everything he’d observed. He then paused for a moment to articulate better to Sonic. “Basically this feed makes it look like some terrible accident happened here! I can’t believe they left this here, who’d even pay attention to it?”

“Well evidently they got one fan,” said Sonic.

Tails giggled, Sonic was right. He now really wanted to meet whoever set up this ‘haunted ware-house’. Upon noticing the slightly ajar staff room door nearby he figured maybe he could. He hurried over and took a peek inside, it seemed to be a dressing room. Many hangers were covered with mundane jackets and clothes. Nearby old mirrors were set up over tables with an assortment of makeup. 

“Tails buddy, It’s probably rude to just walk into a dressing room,” said Sonic.

Tails frowned and started to object, but he focused on the mundane clothes again. Those were definitely not the costumes actors would be wearing here. Those were their casual clothes. Several bags and other garments strewn about reinforced a growing notion in Tails’ mind that didn’t make much sense. “Wait, are the actors all still here? With no guests?”

Sonic stepped past Tails and looked around for a moment. “Any way this is another part of the immersion?” 

“...Maybe? Well no, it doesn’t make sense with the theme…” said Tails, “Unless, we’re supposed to think the staff here actually fell victim to evil machines.”

“Or they actually did,” said Sonic. 

They both glanced back to the dark tunnel leading into the attraction proper. A hum of electricity echoed from within the factory. 

“Hello?” shouted Sonic, His voice echoed and faded into the background hum. “Anyone in here?! Is this part of the act?”

Tails felt his ear twitch as he thought he heard something else, a distant scrape, or even yell? It sounded as though it could be part of the humming or Sonics distorted echo. Even still his heartbeat elevated slightly. He then saw Sonic’s ear swivel. 

“Did you hear something?” said Tails.

“I’m not sure,” said Sonic.

Tails felt his tails puff up slightly at Sonic's response. “Same here…”

“Well, let’s check it out!” Sonic turned to Tails and gave him a wide smile. 

Nodding in response, Tails followed Sonic into the dark hall.  If anyone was in actual trouble Sonic could help them. They moved quickly, finding just enough dim light from the buttons and bulbs on several large old terminals along the sides of the hall. Tails kept his eyes and ears focused on everything they passed. First he noticed that this hallway was ramshackled together out of spare metal sheets and bolts.  Many disparate extension cords ran in and out of the walls to the terminals as well. Clearly a lot of work went into moving this equipment around… and maybe an electrical fire should be a real concern. 

A crunch rang out from Tails’ foot. He stopped, and lifted his shoe to see a crushed lollipop. There were a couple other pieces of candy dropped on the ground. Not a good sign. He scanned the area closely and noticed the candy forming a messy trail down the hall. Surely this could be part of the attraction. Signs that some trick or treater had been dragged away, leaving only a trail of candy was a compelling idea. But the trail didn’t lead to a spooky set, it led to a wall. 

“Sonic!” said Tails, “There’s a trail here!”

It took a second, but Sonic appeared from around a corner further down the hall. He still didn’t look worried, which was comforting. But as he opened his mouth, he let out a gasp. In an instant he glared daggers toward Tails, his quills shooting up into spikes. 

Tails’ heart skipped a beat. He managed to dive to the ground and roll away in time to avoid a large shape that hit the ground behind him. It was a badnik.

It was, until Sonic slammed into it with a spin dash. Its body shattered instantly. Most of the shrapnel and Sonic himself tore through the ramshackled wall. The resulting cacophony echoed through the factory. Somewhere in Sonic's path of destruction he must’ve hit some wires as the little light they did have disappeared with a loud pop. All of the terminals and industrial control panels went silent and dark. 

“Are you okay?!” said Sonic from within the hole in the wall.

“Am I okay?!” Tails ran over to the hole and pulled out his tablet. Its flashlight illuminated Sonic, who was completely tangled up in wires and warped metal. “Are YOU okay?!”

“Watch for more!” said Sonic.

Tails knew Sonic was right. He swiveled on his heels and aimed the flashlight to the ceiling. Up in the old rusty rafters hung several dark light fixtures, many industrial sized wires, and more notably some sort of rail. There was a mess of cord all along this sprawling rail line. That was some high end tech for a factory like this. It was also exciting. Scanning his light over more of the rafters revealed that the rails seemed to form a grid. He stopped his light at a trolley wheel fixture that had a cord hanging from it. It was snapped halfway down, looming over the spot the badnik fell.

“Oh.”

Sonic appeared by Tails’ side, accompanied by flying shrapnel. “Are there more?”

“No… Not yet.” 

Tails leaned down and picked up a piece of the badnik. It was the head of a grabber, a spider like badnik. But some of the damage on it was old. He quickly gathered more parts of the badnik to examine the damage closely. Within a minute he had most of it laid out on the ground. It didn’t take long for him to recognize the signs of previous damage, as well as patches on its body. Then he found a cord hanging from a cavity on the badnik. It had been powered by the factory’s electricity.

“Hey bud I know you like this stuff but I think we’ve seen this one before,” said Sonic.

“We have.”

“Okay then let’s get movi-”

“No, we've seen this specific one before. You probably busted it a while ago.” 

Sonic squinted, then his eyes started to widen with realization. Tails couldn’t help but smile as Sonic picked up what he was getting at.

“They made this part of the attraction?”

“Definitely,” said Tails, “It doesn’t even have its brain. It was being run from whatever this cord connects to.”

“Wait…” said Sonic, “You didn’t set all this up to scare me, did you?”

“What, no?”

“It just seems up your alley, literally and metaphorically.”

“If I was trying to scare you I wouldn’t just explain how this works yet. Besides, I’dve put it together a bit better than this.”

“Okay I believe you on the point that you’re a better engineer.”

“But, I do think this came from my stash.”

“... your what.”

“Don’t be mad.”

It didn’t take long for Sonic & Tails to run outside and to his nearby workshop. If Tails was right, then the whole haunted ware-house was being operated from his computer inside. As they reached the secure metal door on the small shack entrance he whipped out his tablet. His security system was still not responding. He growled at this, if someone shut down his security system he was supposed to get an alert about it. 

“Sonic, can you use your spare key?”

“Are you sure?”

“Yeah. Have fun.”

With  a woosh Sonic dashed away. Then with a delayed boom Sonic returned and slammed into the door. He bounced backward and careened through the air as the door, and the wall around it, collapsed. Tails took note that he oughta remember where he got that security door. 

After Sonic shook off the impact he accompanied Tails inside. With the press of a button, the floor inside the shack lowered and became a rampway to a bunker below. The collapsed security door slid down the ramp and hit a tripwire. An alarm blared and a large net fell over the door, magnetic weights clamping it down. This was a surprise. His security system was online. Which was worse. 

Luckily none of the further traps and barriers along the path to the control room stopped Sonic as he sped through. This wasn’t by design, but Tails tried not to be bothered by that right now. It wasn’t long until he saw Sonic reach the door to the control room, where he should’ve been stopped by an energy barrier boxing him in. Instead nothing happened. Great. This was a good thing. Very good.

As Sonic forced open the last door Tails ran inside past him. Someone had definitely been here. Most of the space here had been reserved for storing mostly intact badniks, but only a few pieces of scrap were left on the pallets. 

“Oh shit.”

“Tails.”

Tails glared at Sonic, who was giving him a disapproving head shake. This didn’t last long as both started laughing. Things felt a little less tense. 

“Soooo, what were you doing with the badniks?”

“Nothing anymore…” Tails walked across the room to an area with several desks, a foldable mattress on the ground, and a ‘modest’ computer. “Sometimes I went back to help clean places up after we chased Eggman away. Back then I still wanted to know how his badniks worked inside and out. So I brought them here and reassembled them.”

“Without turning them on, right?”

“Duh!” Tails rolled his eyes. “I took out all of their brains. But, they could still be run by direct commands if you hooked a computer up to their empty heads.”

Sonic meandered over to Tails and patted his head. This was distracting, but nice.

“So why’d you think I’d be mad?” said Sonic.

“Because someone found them. Now people might be getting hurt.”

As Tails pressed the power button on his computer, the screen lit up instantly. It didn’t need to boot up. Cool. he also found that there was no longer a password necessary to access his operating system. Nice, very convenient. Tails knew he must’ve been glowering because Sonic nudged him and gave him a reassuring smile. 

“Well I know it’s not your fault.”

“How, my security system didn’t work at all apparently.” 

Sonic pointed to a nearby wall. Though it was dark, now that Tails paid attention he could see a large forklift shaped hole in the wall. The hole led directly into the dark basement of the next door factory. A bundle of cords laid across the floor to Tails’ computer, all plugged into a port on the back. 

“Huh.”

“Workplace accident,” said Sonic, “go figure.”

The solution here was obvious, unplug the cords. But, it’d be prudent to check what they were doing first. He dug around the task manager for a bit before finding a terminal emulator running. “Wait what?” Opening the window revealed a screen similar to that on the old terminal in the office, a list of green text. The last output from whatever computer he was connected to claimed to be running a ‘plant containment simulation.’

“So can you shut it down or do I gotta smash some stuff?” said Sonic.

“...Could you try cutting the power lines outside?”

With a woosh Sonic ran outside the workshop bunker. A second later Tails heard a distant snap. An echoing crack and winddown sound emanated from the tunnel into the factory. Then a following powerup sound echoed out accompanied by several bells and alarms. The piercing ringing made his ears twitch as he checked the terminal window again. 

‘ALERT. AUXILIARY POWER ONLINE.”

“How about you don’t,” said Tails.

With a gust of wind Sonic reappeared behind Tails. “Didn’t work huh?”

“I’ll keep trying here, you should probably-”

“Find if anyone’s in trouble, got it!” said Sonic before he ran down the dark tunnel.

“TURN ON YOUR COMMUNICATOR!” shouted Tails.

Tails’ wrist beeped, and Sonic's voice replied over the comm, “Oh yeah, gotcha!”

Typing at an admittedly incredibly fast rate, Tails attempted many generic help commands to find out more about what he was hooked up to. In short order he found it responded with a new window labeled security mainframe. It was sending a constant stream of indecipherable data. As he squinted at this, the computer automatically opened several more windows. Then in quick succession they closed. It was a very good thing he didn’t keep anything important on here. 

Distant echoes of crashes put pressure on him. Then he noticed outputs from the terminal window with each crash, ‘power redirected.’ This usually accompanied a new window opening on his computer that spat out garbage text or fuzzy visuals. “Hey Sonic, can you stop breaking the badniks for a second?”

“If they stop jumping me,” said Sonic over the comm, “can you get some lights on in here?”

“Uh, probably,” Tails entered a couple more commands, and suddenly a wave of hanging lights lit up down the tunnel and inside. “There you go.”

“...Buddy, how many badniks did you have?”

“Why?” Tails was refocused on his computer as he now managed to find a window that opened up a security camera feed. It was fuzzy but he could make out Sonic on the floor, he was staring up at the ceiling. “Uh, hang on.” Tails flipped between cameras, each with incredibly fuzzy feed, some completely black. All were looking at Sonic from different angles. “Hey, are there any cameras looking at the ceiling?”

“...There aren’t any cameras,” said Sonic. 

“Wha-oh…” Tails felt his hands shake. But not from fear. “Okay okay, I’m patched into the badniks. Let me have a look around.”

Tails started flipping through every available feed. Most were in the ceiling above Sonic and the ramshackled haunted-house path. As he found another black screen and went on to the next feed his computer let out a garbled noise. He paused, then went back to the black screen. The garbling resumed. Tails pressed his ear close to the speaker. Then he realized it wasn’t coming from his speakers, it was playing over the factory intercom.  

“Tails, what is that?” said Sonic.

“I don’t know,” said Tails. 

Suddenly a voice could be made out through the garbling. “Hey! Is someone Here? We need Help!!” 

As the voice spoke a garbled ringing escalated through the intercoms, eventually drowning everything else out. The piercing noise made Tails fold his ears down. Since Sonic’s inside it must be worse for him. Then with a loud pop, the intercom, and evidently the lights, went out. A fuse must’ve blown.

“Tails! Where are they? Tails!?” said Sonic over the comm.

“I don’t know!” said Tails. 

Down the tunnel Tails heard the echoes of combat resume. Flipping through the feed on his computer revealed the badniks chasing Sonic as he ran through the floor. Motobugs rolled after him as buzz-bombers swung down at him from the ceiling. 

“Shit, sorry Tails!” said Sonic, as one by one the visual feeds cut out. 

As before, the workshop computer went haywire. Windows opened all over making it impossible to use. Still he managed to reach the terminal window again and attempted several shutdown commands. Each was met with ‘unknown command.’ A growl rose from his throat. He wasn’t able to help at all from here. Screw it then. He reached around the back and pulled the cords out of the port on his computer.

The computer crashed of course. But in the factory all of the old machinery began turning on. With the sound of engines, the song of the factory drowned out everything else. This was bad, it was dark and now Sonic couldn’t hear. Why did the power redirect like that anyway? What was turning everything on? Tails almost dropped the bundle of cords in his hand, then looked at them closely. Oh, duh!

“Sonic! I’m gonna find the main computer, hold on!” shouted Tails into his communicator.

Sonic's response was completely muffled by the running machinery. Right, too loud. 

Plugging his ears with the closest rags he could find, Tails ran through the tunnel and into the factory. He kept his light on the bundle of cords as he followed it along the wall. This path took him behind the set of the haunted ware-house and up a pole to the ceiling. With his spinning tails he flew up into the rafters. There were many more cables here wrapped along the ceiling like old corroded roots. But with the light of his tablet, Tails could discern the bundle of newer cords from the rest. 

Ducking and weaving past cables and rails, Tails heard the occasional crash of Sonic breaking something below him. He glanced down at the dark for a second, seeing only bits of action from flying sparks. Suddenly his body hit a net of cables. He yelped and flailed, nearly dropping his tablet as his tails tangled up in the cables. 

“Ow ow ow!” said Tails as he scrambled to grab the cables above him. Soon he got a grip of one and shined the light on his tails. The knot wasn’t that bad. What was bad was the eyes of a buzz bomber on the other side of the mass of cables. 

“...Please don’t.”

The Buzz-Bomber came to life and fluttered only one in-tact wing. As it charged into the cables, Tails gasped and dropped his tablet. Several cables snapped, allowing the Buzz-Bomber to slam its body into him. They both fell down toward a spinning machine of many spikes and gears. But before they met that fate the cord on the Buzz-Bomber came taut and sent them both swinging back up into the Rafters. Tails kept a tight grip on its thorax as it carried him back up and onto a rusty beam. 

Now on stable footing, Tails kept hold of the Buzz-Bomber while reaching for the cable hooked into its head. It glared at him while trying to fly with its single wing. Tails gave it a smile back. “Thanks, and sorry.” With a hard yank he pulled out the cable and the badnik went limp. 

Now back to that dang bundle of cords. Glancing around, another flash from below showed Tails a large utility tunnel into the ceiling in front of him. Most of the cables and cords, old and new, ran up it. 

“HEY! Up here!” shouted Tails. 

Despite the deafening machinery and Tails’ earplugs, Sonic shouted back, “‘Kay! One sec!”

With a running leap Sonic landed onto the beam next to Tails. An odor of burnt rubber accompanied him. His quills were clearly covered in oil and fine metal dust. That had to be uncomfortable, and yet Sonic just casually stretched like normal. 

The two of them looked up the utility tunnel and saw more darkness. Spooky. Undeterred, Tails took Sonic's hands and flew him up the tunnel, being mindful of anything in his path. 

At the top, they were met with a large open room. In the middle was some sort of dark mass. From within the mass came a series of fuzzy speaker sounds. It’d be really nice to have a light here. As Tails waited and tried to discern what they were looking at, Sonic walked closer. Suddenly a series of red lights lit up the chamber, making Tails jump. Seeing Sonic stiffen up made him feel less embarrassed. But the mass of cables hanging from an Eggman capsule in the ceiling made Tails feel less relaxed. 

Inside the capsule was a small group of mobians. Most of them seemed to be unconscious, but one jackal looked down at them. “H-hey! Watch out!” she said, muffled through some kind of speaker.

“Hang on!” said Sonic. He immediately dashed a lap around the room and jumped up to the tangled up capsule. Then as soon as he touched the wires he seized up. With a flashing arc of electricity Sonic was sent flying off of the capsule. 

Heart jumping in his throat, Tails flew after Sonic and caught him just feet from the ground. He could feel Sonic grip his hand, which was a relief. It shouldn’t have been, Sonic is tough. 

“I’m good. But how do we get them out?” said Sonic.

“Uh…” Tails looked over the wires, they seemed to lower down from the capsule on the ceiling and form a curtain shrouding the middle of the chamber. He took a step toward it. The wires shook and parted, but nothing clearly came out from underneath. Yet cables on the ground shifted around. Each one getting nudged was closer to Tails and Sonic.

 “Sonic.”

“I see it.” 

Tails stepped aside and watched Sonic spindash in that direction. With a loud bong he bounced back. For the moment of impact a much larger than usual chameleon shaped badnik was visible. It was a Newtron, but with bounce pads on its head and back. It continued crawling toward Tails as it returned to invisibility. They could handle this. 

Sonic spun around and hit the Newtron a few more times from each side. Eventually he landed in its path and waited. After a few more steps, the Newtron reappeared with its mouth open toward Sonic who immediately rolled at it. But instead of firing a projectile, a vacuum in the Newtrons mouth sucked Sonic right up. Its tail extended to the curtain of wires and cables, where Sonic was shot into a vacuum tube of some kind and pulled up to the capsule.

Tails’ mouth was wide open as he watched Sonic get dropped into the pile of people inside the wrapped up capsule. 

“Tails,” said Sonic through the muffling of the speaker, “Coulda warned me that Badnik could do that.”

“I didn’t build that one!” said Tails. 

“Okay! But you can handle this!”

Tails made eye contact with the large modified Newtron before it turned invisible again. His heart started pounding more, but he didn’t need to panic. This thing wasn’t that fast. He watched for any cables hooked into its invisible body as he got some distance away. Then he saw it. One black cable rising into the air, the end of it fading into invisibility. He let out a slow breath, then dashed toward it. Using the momentum he flew up into the air right at the cable. But as he almost reached it, he hit the bumper on the Newtrons head.

Tails yelled as he careening up toward the tangled up capsule. Heart pounding, he swung around and used his spinning tails as a brake. His shoes stopped inches short of the exposed high-voltage wires. Looking up he made eye contact with Sonic, and gave him a shaky thumbs up.

“Watch out!!!” 

Tails looked down and saw the Newtron visible again, its jaws open. A powerful vacuum of wind into its mouth started to pull Tails down. He clenched his teeth and spun his tails as hard as he could. But the wind continued dragging him down. There had to be a way out! He was smarter than this. Yet he wasn’t able to fly himself away and the vacuum showed no signs of losing power. 

A series of loud bangs above Tails got his attention. It was Sonic, kicking the side of the capsule repeatedly. It felt awful to make Sonic worry like that. But as they made eye contact Sonic gave him a wink. With one last kick one of the wires fell loose, its torn end casting sparks around. That could work! Tails let the wire fall past him, then stopped spinning his Tails. 

Sparks flew as the Newtron choked on the hot wire. The vacuum in its throat stopped, and Tails landed right on its snout. It made eye contact with him, so he gave it a wink. He then jumped off of its snout and dived toward the cable in its head. The Newtron turned its body invisible again, but Tails managed to reach the cable. He gripped it as hard as he could and tried to fly up, but it was plugged in tight. Growling as he strained, Tails felt the Newtron trying to shake him loose. If it hit him with those bounce pads he’d be back at square one.

That was an idea though. Tightening his grip, Tails bit into the cable. Then he let himself drop. As soon as his feet hit the bounce pad the force shot him away, putting strain on his arms and jaw. Strain the cable couldn’t take. Hearing a snap, he opened his eyes to see himself swinging away from the now powerless Newtron. He’d done it. 

Tails couldn’t help but shout a muffled cheer through the cable in his teeth. This was interrupted by an impact into the ceiling, and a subsequent flop down to the ground. Taking only a moment to catch his breath, Tails cheered and laughed some more. Soon he saw Sonic standing over him with a relieved look on his face. Tails started to stand, but Sonic lifted him up under his arms.

“You good pal?” said Sonic.

“Yep!” Tails wagged his tails despite the soreness in his body, “just jostled.”

“Good! Let's get everyone out of here then!” 

While the others in the capsule were drowsy and thirsty, no one was badly hurt. The costumes most of them wore implied they must’ve been here since Halloween the previous night. One problem emerged as they got ready to lead everyone out though, the factory floor below was still running with dangerous machines everywhere. 

“Hey, do any of you know where the computer running all of this is?” said Tails.

“...Uh, yeah.” A dark green jackal lady with grease matted fur walked forward while rubbing the back of her head. She wore overalls that were pierced with metal shrapnel and blood stains. 

“Are you okay?!” said Tails.

“What? Oh yeah, it's a costume.” 

She led Tails to a wall next to an elevator on the other side of this upper chamber. A panel moved aside easily, revealing a massive computer room. Tails felt his jaw drop in awe, it was beautiful. Rows of ancient electrical computers the size of sheds buzzed and clicked. At the far back wall was one large control panel with a button for every function. As Tails approached and saw several new components plugged into this panel he realized what the problem was.

“You… you supplemented the processing power of the factory with computer chips from badniks?!”

“Yeah, I thought they’d be cool with it,” said the Jackal.

“That’s actually super cool!” Tails looked over at Sonic, “But reckless! So reckless. Irresponsible.”

“Also maybe don’t steal stuff,” said Sonic.

“Everything here’s abandoned,” said the Jackal, “also you look kinda like Sonic the Hedgehog.”

“Dude my computer was obviously way newer than all this,” said Tails. “Did you really think my workshop was part of this factory?”

“I mean it was full of old broken stuff,” said the Jackal.

Tails shook his head and crawled into the control panel computer. It wasn’t hard to find the power supply and unplug it. With that, the entire factory shut down with a whine. He looked at the badnik computers for a moment then left them plugged in as he crawled back out. 

“Okay, these Badniks should stop trying to kill us with assembly lines now,” said Tails.

“Oh before you guys go, did our Haunted Ware-House scare you at all?” said the Jackal.

“At most it was startling sometimes,” said Sonic, “but I’m used to danger, so I’m not a good metric for that.”

“I did like the aesthetic!” said Tails. 

With the danger passed, Sonic and Tails lead the staff and kids out of the factory. In that time Tails grilled the staff more about how they’d set all this up. Apparently the Newtron sucking people into a capsule was supposed to be the main attraction. But then it didn’t release anything it had sucked up afterwards like it was supposed to. Even still this ‘Haunted Ware-House’ seemed pretty neat, maybe they could run a safer version next year.

But not at this sight, as within minutes of everyone escaping out the front, the old factory became engulfed with flames. A strong scent of burnt rubber as it started told Tails exactly why. “Electrical fires spread scary fast. Neat.” 

“I guess the true haunting was the safety violations we made along the way,” said the Jackal.

“This is one awesome fire though,” said Sonic. “But yeah, you all could’ve died if we hadn’t showed up.”

Elizabeth’s form is made up of atom sized nanites; they number approximately seven billion billion billion (the same approximate number of atoms in the human body). They are typically forming an impeccable replication of human anatomy. If you cut her, she bleeds. She sweats, salivates, etc. Anything that leaves her body remains what it is (blood, skin, bone etc) until she commands it otherwise. Sweat ‘evaporates’ and is reclaimed. If blood is drawn for testing etc she may allow it to remain in its form in perpetuity or may return it to its base form - individually basically imperceptible due to their size - or order them to self destruct themselves, crumbling into almost nothing. The individual nanites are self replicating and self repairing, meaning she can create more to replace any that are lost and can survive and reproduce enough (eventually) nanites to recreate her chosen form if even a single atom sized nanite survives.

If she reverts to her base components it looks very similar to the chromatic liquid of the fluidic terminator.

This does also mean that she can choose and change her form. She prefers the one she has chosen and as she typically presents herself and it requires a conscious decision to reformat her shape. Ie, if she is asleep etc she will still be in her human form.

She does breathe, she can eat and drink, but these are not necessary for her. She automatically filters out poisons, disease, toxins, chemical warfare type particles etc on a cellular level. She can simply choose not to breathe if she’s in danger of “drowning” or suffocation. She doesn’t require food or water but can enjoy them and can gain energy from them. She can also gain energy from kinetic, electric, solar, radiation etc and can basically transform any kind of energy into raw energy her cells are powered from.

She can be knocked unconscious by a massive electric strike such as would happen with a lightning strike or a concentrated enough emp burst; her cells are shielded from a certain amount of an electromagnetic pulse but at a high enough level she could be knocked temporarily unconscious. Her body would continue its basic programmed function. Ie, she’d still appear as an unconscious human.

She can communicate with other computers and technology based equipment that has any form of WiFi / Bluetooth etc that she can hack into. This can be on a global level including satellites but the further she’s extending her reach and the more she’s trying to absorb and communicate through at any given time the more she has to concentrate to the point that she may go unresponsive and seem to be unconscious or otherwise entirely unaware of her surroundings. Depending on the level of technology of whatever universe she is in, she’s generally going to be one of the most elite forms of technology with some exceptions being Doctor Who where there are many many more potentially advanced species depending, BSG, Stargate, etc. some Star Trek societies, some Halo tech, etc, WestWorld depending on season and so on.

If there is no wireless connection, if she can get a hard wired connection, ie, some nanites into the machine, it acts as a hot spot and allows her to connect.

Also, she can lend nanites to act as antibodies to help someone else fight an infection or disease, or to help form temporary”cybernetics” prosthetics / duplications of blood, limbs, organs, etc as a last ditch effort to keep someone alive until they can receive proper care. This is something she does very, very rarely as it obviously reveals the true nature of what she is and raises a lot of questions and leads to potential risks to herself / whoever she tries to help etc depending on the circumstances … and she’s had experiences where her true nature coming out ruins even very close relationships.

[The footage begins, showing a grainy shot of a long hallway that stretches into the distance before the camera. Pipes clutter the ceiling nearly as much as the stray wiring running up the concrete walls. Distantly, there is the sound of water dripping and the quiet whirring of electricity.]

Manager#0: [Quietly.] Hmm. Don’t see anyone yet. Maybe I was hearing things, haha.

[The deadly silence reforms around him as Manager#0 continues at a leisurely pace down the tunnel.]

Manager#0: Realistically speaking, I wouldn’t be, though. The company’s known about the traitors in the walls for months, so I guess it’s only natural I actually hear one of them for once. Yeah. Yeah! Haha, I’m not making this up. I’ll make him proud.

[He passes a large unidentifiable machine that’s emitting a loud gurgling noise, metal groaning. The HALO’s soft white light reflects in it, enshrouding his face. He pauses for a moment, turning fully to face it, tilting his head slightly.]

Manager#0: Hm.

[The shuffling of someone's feet causes them to turn towards the end of the tunnel, where a man eating a singular piece of sliced bread can be seen, attempting to gain insight on his whereabouts, a sharpie is in his front pocket. He notices the other and freezes like a deer in a truck's headlights, the piece of bread falls to the floor.]

[The camera angle tilts, as Manager#0 tilts his head again. Employee identified! Mechanic#12 (Edgar Pression) {Maintenance Dept.}]

Manager#0: Oh. Hello there. 

[In the reflection in the corner of the camera’s field of view, the HALO’s lights turn red.]

Mechanic#12: Oh shit.

[He sprints down the tunnel he was already heading down, vanishing behind the wall. Fully abandoning the piece of bread.]

[The camera shakes violently as it begins to pursue him, bootsteps thudding heavily on the concrete floors. The corridor they’ve turned down is more decrepit than the past one, fluorescent lights flickering with an abundance of cobwebs clinging to the pipes lining the ceiling. Far up ahead, the tunnel is entirely unlit.]

Mechanic#12: [Nearly out of breath.] Jesus Christ, man! Who the hell even are you?

Manager#0: [In contrast, he is not breathing at all.] None of your concern! Stop running, please! Just turn yourself in, I promise it won’t hurt- [Slight pause as he nearly trips over a loose cable.] -that much!!

Mechanic#12: Fuck no! I’m not listening to the guy who has a whole halo attached to him! I know that usually you’re not supposed to be afraid or whatever but I am EXTREMELY SCARED.

Manager#0: [An audible grin in his voice.] You can’t run forever!

Mechanic#12: Yeah, but I’ll sure try! By the way, I think your shoelace is untied.

Manager#0: I’m not going to fall for that. Again.

Mechanic#12: Again? Dude. Are you fucking kidding me. 

Manager#0: What, you think you’re the only one that’s under the assumption you’re clever?

[The lights begin to dim as the two of them sprint further down the tunnel.]

Mechanic#12: No! I’m just upset that I’m running for my life from someone who’s actually fallen for that!

[A pause, filled only with the sound of wheezing from up ahead, rustling fabric, and the clattering of footsteps.]

Manager#0: You’re one of the ones from the rebellion, aren’t you?

Mechanic#12: Yeah, what of it?

Manager#0: Oh. Lucky guess, really! Quite a few of you were terminated during that whole ordeal, I wasn’t sure I was thinking of the right man. 

Mechanic#12: Wait, were you part of the reason the building went on lockdown?

Manager#0: Part of it? I was the one that gave the order to. [A laugh.]

Mechanic#12: Of course you did. Well, either way, didn’t stop me from making it out. Not much of a lockdown, a shit ton of people left.

[There’s a pause, and the light level decreases to the point that the only light in the tunnel comes from the HALO, washing everything out in red, like a warning sign.]

Manager#0: You think I don’t know that better than any of you.

Mechanic#12: Look, all I’m saying is maybe make that a little more effective. Because if someone can break out and start a goddamn family, then your security is just… absolute garbage. 

Manager#0: If you’re so interested in the effectivity of our security department, maybe I can arrange for HR to have you transferred there instead of strung from the wall on the first floor, hm?

Mechanic#12: … I need to learn to stop talking in these situations.

[There’s a few more moments of silence.]

Manager#0: Do you seriously think you can outrun me? 

Mechanic#12: If I’m being entirely honest, no. But I have to try.

Manager#0: Right, right, I forgot that was all of your collective mindset. Just keep running until you can’t anymore. Until your legs give out from under you and we catch up. [Another laugh, more hollow this time.] What do you think you’re proving? You’re wasting your potential, Edgar. You had a good job here, a purpose, why would you throw that away? It’s not like we were really hurting you, not like we’re going to now.

Mechanic#12: You took me away from what I could’ve had, I was supposed to get married, find a good job. Do something I enjoyed. But you decided that I’d be better off wasting my life holding a wrench and fixing shit. I never wanted anything like this. I never even considered working here, not once. Everyone moved on without me, you know. People I cared about got older, my parents died before I could see them again. Because of this fucking company. If I had a choice, I’d rather tear myself limb from limb than ever work here again. 

Manager#0: And that’s my point--you rebels always think too small. Wouldn’t you rather have a purpose? A job you’ve always been meant to do? You wouldn’t have had to be a mechanic forever, you know. They would’ve transferred you if you’d just worked at it a few more years. But, you all got impatient, and wouldn’t be grateful for what we gave you, so here we are. And, hey, I might actually be able to fulfill that request for you, what was it, “limb from limb”?

Mechanic#12: No, no, I’m good. Don’t. I’ve already had part of one torn off. I don’t need any more of it gone.

Manager#0: That wasn’t really a “you have a choice here” type of question, but nice try!

Mechanic#12: Let me have hope, dude. 

Manager#0: Hope breeds disloyalty!! 

Mechanic#12: You must be fun at parties.

[Something shiny in the near distance reflects the red of the HALO, and it’s getting closer, signalling the end of the corridor.]

Mechanic#12: Uh oh. That’s either good news or bad news for me.

Manager#0: Yeah, a dead end! Really could be either of those! 

Mechanic#12: Hm. Knowing my luck, it’s probably bad news. Guess we’ll just have to see.

[The two approach the end of the tunnel, despite his fate being lain out before him, the man in front continues running. Possibly even moving slightly faster. At the last second, a sharp turn is made, and he dives into a smaller maintenance tunnel.] 

[Manager#0 practically lunges forward, the camera registering his hand, red in the light from the HALO, reaching out to grab him. His hand just barely brushes the back of his shirt before there’s a disappointingly loud sound of metal colliding with concrete. The camera jostles, and then backs up slightly, Manager#0 reaching towards the back of his head and letting out a small sound reminiscent of pain. Warning: transcription override: HALO has taken a severe hit. Damage is probable. Please visit HR immediately.]

Manager#0: Oh, are you kidding me.

Mechanic#12: HAH! You’re like a dog trying to bring in a large stick through a small door, can’t fit in here. Couldn’t imagine. 

[Without warning, the camera jolts forward again, Manager#0 once again trying to reach into the too-narrow walkway to drag him back out. Mechanic#12 flinches away, retreating further into the tunnel and throwing up. He flips off the other.]

[Manager#0 stumbles backwards, falling back against the wall a moment later with a thud. He groans, reaching to the back of his head again, camera still not leaving Mechanic#12, who is still just standing in the tunnel, catching his breath.]

Manager#0: You still can’t… ow… run forever. There’s nothing you can do about it. I would recommend giving up before you meet a fate much worse than just a Security biting your head off.

Mechanic#12: Not happening, dude. I’m going to keep going until there’s nowhere left to go. Maybe once I’m at that point, I’ll consider giving up, but you’ve caught me at the wrong time.

Manager#0: You haven’t been very good at running so far. Most people that get- get out, they go to the other side of the country. Halfway around the world. Then we find them and drag them back. If your whole plan is to escape us, you’re failing pretty fucking miserably. [Hollow laugh, groan of pain.] [Warning: please seek immediate technical attention.]

Mechanic#12: As I do with most things, yes. I’m well aware of how shit I am at staying out of this place. But, I still manage to make it out each time I come back. So I’ve got that going for me.

Manager#0: You didn’t make it out with that arm, though. If you keep leaving and getting dragged back it’ll just take you apart faster, if you’re too naive to see that. 

[The camera shakily rises as Manager#0 stands. Interrupting the normal ambience of the tunnels comes distant heavy footsteps.]

Manager#0: Hm. Well. Run while you can, Mechanic. We’ll be waiting when you realize what’s good for you.

Mechanic#12: Right. Hm. Get well soon, Manager. I'm going to go throw up again. 

[Mechanic#12 retreats into the tunnel, and after a minute or so, he’s fully out of range.]

[The camera stays on where he was for a few seconds before Manager#0 sighs heavily and begins to walk in the direction he came, HALO lights slightly faded but back to their original white. The giant footsteps get closer, and another pair joins them, further off.]

[Manager#0 rounds the bend and comes face-to-face with Security#855.]

Manager#0: Miss Security.

[There’s a sound of metal grinding on itself as the TV head opens slightly… and then stays open, somewhat awkwardly. Security#855 makes a raspy groaning sound.]

Manager#0: [Another sigh.] Hello. I suppose you’re here to escort me to HR?

[The camera turns as another pair of heavy footsteps approaches, notably moving quicker than the first. Security#942 comes into view a moment later.]

Manager#0: Alright, alright, I’m going. No need to rush me. Ow.

[Manager#0’s hand reaches towards the camera.]

“ATTENTION CITIZENS OF BLUESTAR. V.ALOE HAS BEEN CLASSIFIED AS A TRAITOR UNDER ARTICLE VI. REPORT ANY SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR.” 

The air flew past them like wind. The scientist had simply no choice but to run. Their eyes started to rust from the tears streaming down their face. Don't think about it. Don't think about it. 

Was this how Caramel felt during the war?  This was simply horrible. Aloe wasn’t particularly agile like how Lemon was or even Cyborg for that matter. They shouldn't have tried to put up a fight against Raspberry Iced Tea! They berated themselves for that. 

To lose someone dear to them again… for the third time. That was the final straw. They had to have done something… but fist-fighting a trained royal guard was not the way to do it. Who knows! They could be puddled right here and now! Aloe couldn't let their fears get to them. They had to find Lemon and Cyborg immediately. 

They haven't left the castle yet… This would be a long shot for the scientist, but they knew their way around here thanks to Starflower's old tours and casual snack breaks. They could go towards the prison. They could jailbreak Cyborg. Aloe absolutely hated the thought of committing another treasonous action towards their planet, but things had to be done. Tea needed to be stopped at once. 

Corridors everywhere. Aloe maneuvered left, left, straight, right, left, etc. with no end in sight. They needed to lose the royal guards first. It was times like these that they wished they had gotten closer to the other Bluestar royal. 

Thankfully Tea wasn't on Aloe's tail. That was the one saving grace right now. If Tea had been here, Aloe would have perished quite a bit sooner. The royal guard may be smart, but Aloe was a genius when it came to calculating on the fly.

“Stars… forgive me for this.” They prayed to the now-fallen friend. 

A terminal near the prison caught Aloe's attention as they pulled out a small device and a wire from their coat pocket. Brute Forcing their way into the prison was out of the question, but if they could do this fast enough…

“00110011 00110000 00110011 00110010 00110000…”  

“Stop! Turn yourself in at once!” The guards flew towards Aloe quickly, their mouth wide open from being in shock. Aloe braced themselves for impact as the guards pointed their weapons straight at the NeoAzul: Guns loaded with electricity stronger than whatever Lemon or Cyborg could produce, presumably harvested from the endless electrical storm on the other side of the planet.

Back facing towards the guards, Aloe protected their computer from the potential shocks. They put their hands up in defeat as the computer was set on the floor. This was the end of the line for them. 

As the guards drew near, a small click was heard from the terminal. A door came crashing down, separating the incoming guards from Aloe's current location. The scientist slowly lowered their hands. 

“Haha… HAHA…” They couldn't help but erupt into laughter. “I can't believe that worked!!” They picked up their computer giddily. They continued on further breathing heavily. Hacking into the security system was no easy feat. From there, the scientist hurriedly scuttered to the prison where they were certain that Cyborg was held. With the override of the security protocol, all of the cells, if not most of them, should have been unlocked. Even on the run, their hubris was undefeated in regard to their knowledge of technology. 

Aloe busted down the door with their right leg. 

“Was about time you showed up!!” Cyborg had their blaster against a poor guard’s head, making it spark as an intimidation tactic as the guard was on the floor face down, even if the guard was already unconscious. “I’m really, REALLY mad at you right now, but right now we have to bust Knighty out!” 

Aloe couldn’t help but smirk at Cyborg’s angry expression. It was endearing to them that Cyborg was so… Cyborg. With all the events that transpired in the past few days, it brought them a strange sort of comfort. 

“Cyborg…” Aloe sighed softly, even letting out a silent chuckle. 

“What’s so funny?! We just witnessed an execution AND an intergalactic marriage!!” They were fuming but genuinely wanted to know why Aloe was acting in such a way at a time like this.

“I’m just feeling nostalgic… to times before the war, I suppose. Come on. We need to find Lemon before we can think about stopping Z.Raspberry.” They grimaced calling Tea by their new title, but it was the least they could do to not get randomly puddled. Aloe put their hand on their scouter to calculate a new route after blocking the previous route where guards might be stationed still. 

“If I may,” White Choco emerged from behind Cyborg, “There should be a gate that is not nearly as supervised near the back exit of the palace. We could potentially take a ship from the docking area near there, gather supplies, and find both Lemon and Knight under the guise of a NeoAzullian soldier.”

“Surprisingly perceptive,” Aloe nodded, “If I can override the mainframe on the ship we could use it as a cloak of some sort… It might allow us some time to search for our friends. Cyborg could masquerade as a citizen if we fit them in the proper attire.”

“I’m doing what now-” 

“Fitting in as a citizen. You have the physical attributes of a NeoAzullian. All you would have to do is pilot the vessel while we work in the shadows. Of course, there comes the question if you can even pilot a ship-”

“Shut up! I can do it just fine if you teach me.” Cyborg huffed. They made sure the guard was unconscious before floating up into the air slightly to match Aloe’s height. 

“Then it’s settled. We must hurry quickly.” Aloe motioned for the two to come quickly. Their large coat swayed in the wind created by the quick turnaround towards their new route. Cyborg and White Choco followed along hurriedly. There was no time to spare in Aloe’s eyes.
