Okay so while my brain is working on chapters 7-9 of Unintended Tendencies in the background, foreground brain had a lightning strike of a character idea while slightly high and fairly badly wiped out on cold meds (mild sinus infection yay). The idea got worked on last night in stream, and what came of it turned out to be a decent first ramble and an outline. So I did some looking and talked to a very important Odist about some things, and using my called-off-work day I put this together. Everyone who's read the books knows about the first upload(s), I wanted to imagine the first failed upload.
This is that imagination put to text, more a character primer than a proper story. Would you believe it, this one has been edited! And not by me! So it should be much cleaner than my usual dreck.
