Summary
Simon escapes, the data saved, but he is not unscaved. He is forever changed, but the only outward showing is the loss of his left arm. Back on the tow ship, he is put in quarantine, making sure he didn't change, that he was still human. He resents it, reminding Ava that she promised him freedom.
Next door lies Jack, still sick from the radiation but recovering well. The walls are thin, allowing Jack and Simon to pass the time by talking. At first, they clearly resent each other, but eventually begin to grow closer, bonding over their joint trauma and both of their parts in each other’s. That and boredom.
But does the data show the hope Ava thought it did? Will it hold the truth? Will the COI believe what Simon saw down there? Will he ever get his freedom? Or did he die in the Blood Ocean?

Summary
As the infection grows, tendrils reaching further across the ocean and stretching up to the surface like trees, a little branch of veins catches to the backbox that's been bobbing at the surface for three months.
Ava and her team finally find the box, and in retrieving it, cut it free.
Simon hangs on.
Or; Simon is integrated into Jack as a form of payment for his sacrifice.

Summary
After the events that led to a cybug infestation in Sugar Rush, the reveal of a false king, and the eventual reinstatement of the original leadership. A thorough checking of the candy go-kart cabinet’s code was in order. During the check up, it was found that Turbo hadn’t been as “dead” as most would have wanted to be.
This led to a flurry of panic as those who could be considered in charge of the arcade’s residence struggled to figure out what to do.
It was decided that they would need to think up a plan that would keep the racer from ever destroying the livelihood of any game in Litwak’s ever again. As well as allow for him to make up for his grievous mistakes.
So, there they all were. Deep within the confines of Hero’s Duty. The chapel filled with the chosen delegates to puzzle out a suitable punishment.
A newly regenerated Turbo sat on the front row of the pews. Chained and bored out of his mind. Hoping that they would get it over with already. Surely, they knew as well as he did how it was all going to end. One short drop and a sudden stop. It'd be ludicrous to believe that he could ever have a chance for anything better. Not after everything.

Summary
So Retro games, right? Pretty cool. Very cool, in fact.
Tron, Tappers, Pac-Man. After the Fix-It Felix cabinet had that bonus level get unlocked, a lot of the kids that came to the arcade seemed to have a growing interest in these 80s and 90s game cabinets. They were making more money at the end of the day, oftentimes, than even the DDR machine Litwak had spent nearly 5 grand on. The regular kids were asking him if he had plans on getting any other older games cabinets and, to be fair, he hadn’t until recently. So now he was on Facebook, on the arcade manager group, asking if anyone had any 80s and 90s game cabinets for sale in his area. There were a couple, but they were all so expensive! Road Blasters was nearly 700 dollars, Mario Brothers was 1,500, Galega was even more than that. All of them were out of his price range. Not even to mention the shipping costs. But he couldn’t let the kids down… he would think of something.
