    Summary

    After the whole 'the exit was just an adventure' fiasco, Caine has a crashout over how his humans see and treat him. Instead of realizing he's the god of this digital world, however, Caine chooses a different path: to walk a mile in their shoes to see what their issues are first-hand. He comes up with an alter-ego: C.A.M.I.E., or Caine's Anonymous Mascot Imitation Experiment! Now, he just needs to pop into the circus as a newbie and see how the others react to 'her' and look into his all-too-human issue.

    Note: Zooble x Gangle is canon but not really a focus. I just think they're cute.

    There will be art in this, including Camie's design!

    We're all coping with episode 8 in our own ways, huh?

    Major thanks to my editor https://toyhou.se/TomaSyri !!

    Summary

    After episode 9 things have changed.

    Jax is gone, but Caine is back. Some things can't be fixed, but others can.

    That though will take work and is not just done in a day, and Caine will have to struggle as he finally got the very thing he always wished for. Now, as he has his heart, he must also carry all the pains and burdens that come with it.

    The others must learn to understand and accept their A.I. companion as well. It will take time... But all good things does.

    Summary

    Remember that funny bit at the end of episode 3? Where Caine and Zooble switched who was on the therapy couch? What if Caine went into a little more detail than just his thoughts on the wild west.

    And by detail I mean Zooble gets answers and its- well, like pulling teeth.

    Edit: No longer Zooble interrogating Caine, as I am writing more for this. Now everyone gets to interrogate him. Yay!

    Includes: hardware facts! Software jokes! Inaccurate portrayal of AI! Everyone treating the circus like it’s real life while Caine is like HeHe HoHo, I’m a funny silly video game! Don’t worry about the darkness that grows within me, let me tell you about RAM.

    Summary

    An ablation study aims to determine the contribution of a component to an AI system by removing the component, and then analyzing the resultant performance of the system.

    Deleting Caine was not the plan. And his absence led to a whole set of new problems, ranging from the destabilization of the Amazing Digital Circus to a more murderous AI trying to take control of the mainframe. Retrieving him was a matter of practicality. They might not trust him and were definitely wary of him, but his presence was their only way to survive.

    Knowing that the humans that you love and desperately want to make happy instead fear and hate you (for admittedly good reasons) and only brought you back because they have no choice was not the best feeling for an AI never designed to handle emotions in the first place. It would be much better to only keep the parts that they need and discard the rest.
