    Extras: The Auditor

    Update: Currently fighting through a writers block after realizing I screwed up and forgot a rather important plot point. I've almost decided on re-writing most of the chapters of this - still mentally feeling about for any mcguffin I can use to fix the problem easily without a re-write. I'm...

    Till you spelled it out with capital P and M, I'd not considered Programmable Matter except in sci-fi context, but apparently someone has actually white papered it, essentially laying out a framework for the addressing the space where programmable matter would exist or something along those...

    The closer I get to that time, the more I realize I don't have a very good list of what exactly the focus can do. Fun fact, there is a real Faro focus laser scanner. From what we see in canon we see in gernal it has: 1)wireless synaptic interface to audio and optical nerves or brain centers...

    Sorry it's not very long this chapter, still working through back log of documentation IRL. It tends to mute the muse. Anyone who ever worked for IBM in the 90s will remember the dress code. I think they finally loosened that up after 2010? Anyone remember exactly when that changed for...

    Chapter Eight: Getting to know the neighborhood. The kids in the village laughed at Tony's red face when he tried their spicy fish stew. Apparently cayenne peppers and others made it through the apocalypse. After nearly draining his water reservoir and sampling some of the local hooch, he got...

    The miracle batteries I'm talking about are not the blaze biofuel, but the glow-y blue ones that you end up moving around in a few puzzles in game, along with some having to be charged up because the batteries short out in water or one or two that would drain when not in their receptacle. There...

    There are some key plot points that Tony needs to get from the locals before I can connect Tony to reasons to move West towards GAIA Prime. <begin tech rant> Something else that I'm struggling with a bit is the canon mcguffinry which is their power systems. How much power do you put into a...

    Long time no post - sorry for the delay - have been fighting writers block on dealing with the conversations with the villagers - mentally getting stuck on the other end - Tony getting clues about the area instead of thinking through where Tony is at that moment. I don't have a teaser for the...

    Chapter 7: Fire Sale On the beach opposite the village, Tony found a well-used firepit dug into the ground.

    I'm trying to remember to write in the flaws that Tony has; even in Endgame where he was older and a bit more chill after, what I assume to be a crap load of therapy after his return from Thanos' world Tony was still plenty ready to toot his own horn and be in control of whatever it was that he...

    Chapter 6 Nialo worked with the fishers to pull the floating bridge back to the shore. Every pull of the rope felt like the walls of the world were being pulled back in on him. Now he would be trapped with his mother, her friends and their unending gossip. Earlier this morning, one of the...

    I find myself trying to world-build in a world someone else already built. Some of this is because we are in a non-canon area, but I think I'm also just getting distracted by writing down how I think this part of the world and its people got to where its at. I bring this up because I remember...

    Reposted Chp 5. As someone suggested I keep the original and fixed version, the original is hidden in a spoiler if you'd like to compare. Mostly this fix is addressing the plot hole of the sensor left by the village earlier. As I've been told I could typo for America should the event be...

    Pretty sure Chapter 5 is my longest so far. I find that I have under appreciated the authors that have long chapter works posted. When I'm looking for new fics to read I usually filter out any works less than 50k words, I'm barely breaching 10k now--Yikes. Moving on, I'm hoping you'll see what...

    Chapter 5: Beads or mousetraps? Updated version: Using his A.R. glasses to magnify the camera sensors, he watched what he could now see were wooden walls at the tops of the cliffs, but no heads were so far peaking their heads over those walls. "Friday, are you seeing anyone watching over...
