    Summary

    Kingsley sighs. “Does it ever occur to you people just how bloody infuriating it is that every conversation I have with this group, I’ve got you all waiting for me to be someone other than myself? Do you have any idea what that’s like?”

    Essek laughs, just a little chuckle that seems to take him just as much by surprise as the rest of them. He quiets and fixes his cloak. “I do, actually,” he says.

    Summary

    Ever since Carlos was little, he and his daemon have been fans of Dr. Lyra Belacqua. Both as the most groundbreaking experimental theologian of the 20th century, and as the heroine of dozens of fantasy-adventure children's stories (based very loosely on her own mysterious childhood).

    But Lyra's true legacy is still bigger than Carlos ever imagined...until he took a team of scholars to study Rusakov particles in the most theologically interesting community in Hispania Nova. Now his own day-to-day life is full of things like angels, witches, hooded spectres, portals between worlds, vague yet menacing branches of the Magisterium, and a man who walks around without his daemon and can read an alethiometer as easily as a stop sign.

    Summary

    Even with his stores of near-infinite knowledge, D3rlord3 was not prepared for the sight that awaited him when he answered his front door:

    On his doorstep stood a scrappy-looking young man in a Hawaiian shirt, cargo shorts, and a beaming smile. In his hand was D3rlord3’s hastily-written book.

    The man, still smiling, tilted his head and asked, “Did you write this?”

    Summary

    “Move. Talk. Do something. Anything but sit there looking pathetic.”

    More commands. STON-3’s core warmed as they settled into its central processing, each one sparking a separate thread of thought that activated in parallel.

    Move. STON-3 slid off the table it was sitting on and took a moment to establish a sense of posture. Its shoulders rolled back in their sockets, and its chin lifted and lowered before clicking into place once it found the right position to stand at a comfortable height.

    Talk. “Thank you for creating me, Dr. Ivo Robotnik.”

    Do something. The creator favored grins and smirks on his own face—so it smiled to comply with the directive to be different.
