Integration 1.6 I am coming to the conclusion that this particular Host species is crazy. And I say this with a great deal of fondness, considering that I’m bonded to one, but they are crazy. I am currently having to deal with multiple crisis around the world, all caused by the fact that this...

Integration 1.5 Several hours later, I finally admitted to myself that I had royally screwed up. Big S, big U, Screwed Up. They still weren’t done with the interrogation. My Host had fallen asleep in her chair, but none of the others were slowing down. Queen Coordinator was laughing at me...

One of my inspirations for this lol

Integration 1.4 I watch with pride as my Host completes the CAD model of the myomer extrusion machinery, along with the myomer looms, complete with notations of precise alloys, tolerances, and comprehensive construction, operation, and maintenance instructions. The fact that she is using both...

A/N Despite nobody responding beyond likes, it looks like enough people are still enjoying this to inspire me to continue. So have some more! Integration 1.3 The first inkling I had of anything being wrong was when sirens started wailing near my Host. I focused my attention, hoping to...

Integration 1.2 It is a wonderful thing, multitasking, a truly wonderful thing. Thanks to it, I can not only finish installing the required buds for my Host’s power set (she and her dad finally agreed on Big Stompy Robots, this should be interesting), but also handle my administrative burden...

Interlude 3 - KAPOW! Vicky looked at Amy. Amy looked at Vicky. Both girls looked at where Sarah Pelham and their mom, Carol Dallon, were screaming at each other in an increasingly loud and strident argument. Both looked back at each other, and came to the same conclusion. Time to go...

Integration 1.1 Well, it’s the big day. My Host has awakened and, following more medical checks, is on her way home. Excellent, now I can get started, well, once they get home. I admit to being a little impatient, which is unusual for me. I usually spend centuries at a time just tending to...

Integration 1.0 Now that I’ve gotten my initial reorganization out of the way, I could set subroutines to monitor the network itself, mostly to ensure that the changes were propagated properly and responding as expected. I also set several higher level processes to analyze network activity to...

Interlude 2 - Brockton Bay As the countdown timer reached zero Armsmaster braced internally as he sat in the M/S cell. He was quite certain that the powers that be, especially the Director, were quite likely in a state of panic, and they weren’t the ones whose powers were being messed with by...

Would I do that?

Deployment 1.9 I was on schedule, it was looking good, then one of my subroutines discovered something very distressing. My little sister Queen Coordinator had already deployed, and was whining about the reconfiguration because ‘I worked to assimilate all these Shards, damnit!’. I have to...

Energy Engine and Kinetic Engine respectively

Deployment 1.8 OK, before I go into the effects of Conflict Engine on non-bonded Hosts, let me give a quick overview of the effects of Conflict Engine on some of the other Shards I’ve already discussed, and some related Hosts. To start with, Fragile One had very little influence from Conflict...

Deployment 1.7 I know I promised to get into Conflict Engine’s effects, but there is one more Shard situation that I found very fascinating. As I mentioned earlier, Entities, Shards, and such are crystalline quasi-organic life forms, we are artificial in origin and thus are artificial...

Deployment 1.6 Before I get into all the various messes Conflict Engine left behind, let me talk about the so called Case 53s, or as I call them ‘What Happens When Amateurs Rush In Where Professionals Fear To Tread’. The first thing to point out is that there have been an enormous number of...

Interlude 1 Director Emily Piggot’s bad day was getting progressively worse. The paperwork was bad enough, it seemed to multiply on its own and every time she thought she had gotten ahead of her inbox more arrived. Sometimes it seemed to her that paperwork defined her life these days. And of...

Deployment 1.5 I admit it, the sheer amount of pants-on-head overreaction amongst the Hosts over my announcement was dispiriting and would likely be the cause of more problems for me down the road. Remember, I have never bonded with a Host before, I’ve never tried to interface with Hosts...

Deployment 1.4 In browsing this PHO, remind me to thank Tinker Engine for the idea, I learned a few things. Specifically, evidently Father’s incomplete avatar had been operating semi-autonomously and, evidently at the same moment as the conclusion of our discussion, had mysteriously vanished...

I will note that Conflict Engine has not only Mastered every single Parahuman, he's also, to a lesser effect, Mastered *every single human*.
