  1. Summary

    Tyrone smiled faintly. "To be honest, I started these studies on a dare. Then I decided, what the heck, might as well keep going and give the whole college experience a try."

    "Oh," Thomas said. "Okay. Must be nice. No pressure, right?"

    Summary

    Complete and absolute deletion would mean the end of the circus. It still stood, even if torn. However, without a fully functional AI attached to its framework, it is bound to slowly fall apart.
    The former ruling AI hopes, from the bottom of his nonexistent heart, that his dear humans may find a solution and worthy substitute... before the deletion timer hits zero.

    -----------

    AKA: Cain ends up in the recycling bin. He won't be there for long, however. A terminal is soon retrieved by the humans: Any restored files are sent back to their original drive. Perhaps a fate worse than deletion.

    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.

    Summary

    “Caine?” Pomni asked again. The orb drifted up and down in a nod. “How do I know it’s you? Why do you look so…” Small, weird, different. She’d been anticipating seeing a Caine clawing at the walls, or crying, or yelling. How ever she imagined finding Caine, he looked like, well, Caine. Not this.

    oOo

    The plan was simple: undelete Caine, get the Circus back up and running, and place some restrictions so Caine couldn't mess with them.

    Unfortunately, Caine and the Circus are a little more complicated than meets the eye.
