Summary
What happens... When you look through a mirror and find out the world is reversed? Is it like looking at the same world but completely different at the same time? Is it like you're looking into a window to a different world? What happens if the world as you knew it was completely flipped upside down? What happens if you look in that mirror and the same person staring back at you... Isn't you anymore? But is someone completely different living life in your shoes on the other side of that mirror?
Beau Doorman is what he'd call an average worker drone... Except maybe not so average by the time you factor in the weird dreams and the crazy over the top inventions. Okaaaaay maybe not as average or as normal as he thinks he is. Any semblance he had to normal flew right out the window with the reappearance of the colony's local drifter, a fateful scavenging trip, and three new friends haunted by their ghosts of the past. With the reemergence of a terrifying program from the past, everyone finds themselves being thrown into a story about found family, loss, grief, and recovering from that grief.

Summary
Perhaps in a another world, a soft spoken psychic girl met a guarded yet kind monster in a suit who had once been taught to obey and contain before being set free into the world in the future to ruthlessly hunt down and destroy those that were created by the same cursed hands as he.
Perhaps in a another world, a quiet and formal psychic boy met a soft spoken and kind puppet who sought to use her abilities to save humans from the things that were once crafted by loving hands like herself and had gone terribly wrong somewhere along the way.
This is not one of those worlds.
In this world, a soft spoken psychic girl met a clownish and surprisingly serious friend who was designed by a distressed and unstable man at his wits end and created to be a hero of the people. A hero of the people who was subsequently abandoned and discarded, left to become a forgotten and unwanted memory until he was set free from his prison by a young girl seeking safety from a monster.

Summary
Safety is a funny word to Uzi Doorman. Sure, she knew safety was supposed to mean being careful and staying out of danger... but whoever thought that word applied in the real world must have been a liar. True safety and peace was something her people had never known. The core collapse killed all of the humans responsible for working her parents' generation like slaves, but the collapse gave way to an eternal winter and infighting over limited resources necessary to survive. That was before the vampiric demons came from the sky on bladed wings to slaughter everyone left alive in that godforsaken frozen wasteland.
Forced to take shelter in the crumbling remains of the former city, Uzi's colony works to fortify their homes and modify their own bodies to increase their chances of survival against not only the constant threat of the murder drones but also attacks from their fellow worker drone colonies who are just as desperate for supplies to survive the harsh times. Locked in an eternal stalemate with the outside forces of nature and dronekind, Uzi thinks it's going to take one hell of an inciting incident to tip the balance.
She just didn't know how much of it was going to come from her own internal struggles.

Summary
The plan was supposed to be nice and simple. It was just supposed to be taking a nap to wait for nightfall again and then going to loot a mall because a clumsy squadmate managed to break his sunglasses like an idiot. Nothing bad ever happens in malls, right? The place looks like it's been good and abandoned since the humans used to be here years ago anyway.
Though... that doesn't explain why the entire mall smells like it's absolutely saturated in oil... or why there's a bunch of strange worker drones running around with all kinds of biomechanical limbs and visors emblazoned with odd and glowing triangle shaped glyphs.
The hunters and predators weren't exactly prepared to become the hunted and the prey as the tables get turned on them by the extremely angry nest of territorial Solver drones they made the horrible mistake of poking.

Summary
When a mysterious string of disappearances starts happening in your local community and neighbors, co-workers, and friends all start to vanish overnight without a trace, you never stop and realize that could happen to you next. Or rather, you don't want to think about it happening to you next. You convince yourself it can't happen to you, that it wouldn't happen to you.
Alice has been living by that personal mantra since the start of the recent and mysterious strings of disappearances in her sector of Copper-9's work area. Rumors have started circulating around the sector about the missing drones, ranging from they were disassembled on the spot for a failure, they've all run away into the night to never be seen again, to they were transferred away to another colony without prior warning. Alice assumes the missing drones have simply been transferred and assumes that soon enough the disappearances will come to a halt... But unfortunately fate had other plans for her. Forcefully taken away from her home in the middle of the night, she comes to learn exactly where these missing drones had all been going... and why these drones have been unable to return home.

Summary
If you go far enough into the Appalachian mountains, and get yourself lost, eventually you may find yourself rolling into a little old town somewhere between New York and Pennsylvania. Even the sign isn't quite sure, proudly proclaiming "Welcome to Coppersville" without a state listed.
There, nestled in a valley, is a run down little town on the verge of being consumed by the moss around it. It's quiet, mostly. The folk who live there like it that way. There's rather a lot of people there who only look human if you're not looking too close.
Time flows in most places like a river. Neat, mostly straight, from one place to another. In Coppersville, time is a bayou. The flow is strange, and not all in one place. There's little creeks and currents going every way. It's not so well-behaved as you'll find it most places.
From the old mineshaft on the mountaintop above the town, slowly leaking its venomous curse into the place, to the clear pools in the creek at the bottom of the valley where the water nymphs spend their summers, this is a place with a thousand hidden secrets, and a thousand little stories behind each. Stay a while, traveler. Maybe one of the locals will feel like telling you theirs.
