Summary
Andrew Richter was one of the world's greatest tinkers, but he was also an isolated, lonely man. When it came time to give Dragon a social interface, he found himself hopelessly out of his depth. In the end, he just cobbled together a program that would allow Dragon to respond to prompts with the most relevant words and phrases according to her training data. Some kind of "large language model."
This had unintended consequences.

Summary
What if, instead of doubling down and saying "She deserved it" after killing Alexandria, something clicked in Taylor Hebert's head, and she said "I think I've done enough damage at this point"? Queen in Exile posits that, in such a scenario, Taylor might decide to remove herself from play, so to speak... by volunteering to be sent to the Birdcage.

Summary
Taylor triggers earlier than in canon, with the thinker power to...understand any language.
Of course, this being Taylor, she immediately heads out and gets herself into a whole lot of trouble. Does she have a plan? Yes, but it's not always a good one.
This is a fic about pushing a 'weak' power to its absolute limits. It's also a fic about Taylor biting off way more than she can chew and then chewing anyway, consequences be damned. She might not be able to beat an average guy in a fistfight, but boy can she be a pain in the neck for anyone dumb enough to think that means they can take her on.

Summary
Optimization is V1’s specialty. From projectile punching to explosion-propelled feats of acceleration, V1 was made to make itself better: faster. To achieve maximum performance, it opts to optimize its energy usage. A more efficient source of biofuel may exist—but V1 needs a means to extract it. A particular peripheral used by Mindflayers seems promising.
V1 intends to test it on Gabriel. There must be something better than blood.
