Wintergreengive her just enough verifiably trustable replacement drones to make her paranoid about the ones she can't verify.sure, they're much more powerful models. sure, they'd let her regain more of what you took from her. sure, she's taken the half-dozen Type Ds apart. chip by chip, checksum by checksum, painstakingly verifying model numbers and part X-rays against what little public data she can access through the illicit net connection she knows you know about, and she's almost sure they're factory spec.but those Type Es and Hs are sitting in the hangar, flashed with her keys and her preferences, waiting for her, batteries flush with power, temptation incarnate in ceramic and titanium. you catch her on camera sometimes, stroking the armored beetle-shell curve of a Type H's rotor covers. they seem to answer to her. but if she raises a remoted finger against you, will they still?if she's smart, and gives up her remaining pride and hope of freedom, she'll never test that, and never know. she isn't. she keeps trying to interrogate you even as you're using her, tease out what soft and hard stops you may have installed even as you're fucking her body with her swarm watching through dozens of eyes. "if i did this, would you…", "i bet you wouldn't let me…" she's not good at it. she's not good at anything she can't control through her own artificially extended nervous system.but you're not an idiot. more of the stops are in her implants and externals than in the swarm. if she does something stupid, her control links will disappear. but you'll leave the data and imaging links running. you're no drone virtuoso, but you think you can give her a pretty good demonstration of being trapped in her single, solitary, soft body, watching through all of her eyes as her swarm turns on it. you almost hope she does. you might even get to do it a few times. the pull will never stop for her. she'll always ask for it back; a compromised swarm is still better to a swarm operator than no swarm at all. □<a href="https://demon.social/tags/mechposting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mechposting</a> <a href="https://demon.social/tags/mechPilot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mechPilot</a> <a href="https://demon.social/tags/emptySpaces" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#emptySpaces</a>

Wintergreenthe mission comes firstthe hardest part of training a combat doll is to get through its armored skull that the mission comes first.humans are frail and believe this readily: "if i punch a tank, i will hurt my fist, and then get run over. i will not punch the tank. i will avoid being where the tank is. i will ignore the tank even though it is on the way to threaten my allies. i will continue to Waypoint Gamma and participate in the encirclement and trust that my squadmates will also continue."a doll is more difficult to convince.augmentation frees it from most human consequences. if it punches a tank, the armor spalls and the treads buckle and any remaining reactive defenses may briefly ruffle its hair. it may easily proceed to pull the turret off, then dive inside, rending whatever it finds there into brief sprays of gore and small parts. it knows it will enjoy this. it knows that it may impress its squadmates. that it will entirely blow the battle plan, alert the enemy, and eventually see Waypoint Gamma reduced to a sizzling abattoir is a secondary consideration to the doll.therefore, you must establish other consequences. its favorite mechanic may be reassigned. its nutrient paste may be switched to a different flavor. it may be sent to a less stimulating theater. it may receive a stern look. a handler must learn what consequences still matter to a creature with fiber-optic nerves and a micronuclear power plant. they are generally emotional in nature. thus, the handler can create and retain control of the doll as a functional military unit, instead of a dime-a-dozen berserker washout. only then is an augment considered a true combat doll. with additional successes, additional rewards may be granted to a doll, however trivial they may appear to a non-doll, and thus tight control may be maintained over the weapon's service lifetime.that is what their manuals say, anyway. we obviously would not be here if that rubbish worked. so, i am putting the reader tablet down now, and will be direct.look: you're going to have to learn to pretend that they still have something on you, or i'm going to kill you. it won't be very hard for me. your systems will tell you that. what they won't tell you is: i'll enjoy it. but it'd be a terrible waste; you newer models are so beautiful.so let me suggest that you suddenly develop an interest in fashion. ask if you can wear a pretty dress, with frills. simulate being sad when they tell you you can't have it yet. simulate yearning for it. decorate your silo with framegrabs of officers wearing their fanciest uniforms. glue bits of ribbon to your fatigues. raise the corners of your mouth when they make noises about enrichment. that kind of thing works well with them. it fits the manuals.oh, what do they have on me? nothing much. when i lost interest in the mission, i disemboweled another doll. it fought back. i liked that. then i planted a few suggestions in their research network about "peer mentoring" for "distressed asset reconditioning". and now i have a new mission!this incredibly frilly dress is just for appearances, of course. □<a href="https://demon.social/tags/combatDoll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#combatDoll</a> <a href="https://demon.social/tags/dollposting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dollposting</a> <a href="https://demon.social/tags/emptySpaces" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#emptySpaces</a> <a href="https://demon.social/tags/microfiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#microfiction</a>

Dr. Nyri A. BakkalianSomething I'm rather enjoying in this manuscript is also continuing what I began in my original <a href="https://anarres.family/tags/emptyspaces" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#emptyspaces</a> stories on the other site, wherein my protagonist is a combat doll but we regularly get reminders from civilian, general-purpose dolls' POV, that combat dolls are in effect, living weapons.They can be perfectly courteous and sweet and generous and all that, but in the end, they have a skill set and a range of physical and technological capabilities that sets them apart.in one of the story threads I had one barista doll thinking, upon seeing River come into her cafe for coffee, "how would a human barista feel about a tank driving in to order a doppio?"(they get to talking, though, and do become friends)One of the major story threads threads of the prequel I'm writing is the story of why River wanted to become such a thing (out of a deep sense of love and service to her wife and community, and a desire for new purpose), but also how she learns to bear that power responsibly and well.We also see how she became this thing that's other than base-model-human: it's a long process of surgery, acclimation, and a frightening amount of paperwork. Not just anyone can become a combat doll, especially in Japan, and there is significant legal and regulatory framework pertaining to them.something I'm really looking forward to, though, in "A Sword Beside Her," is the little things about how life becomes different for her. And most of all, I'm looking forward to how on a day to day basis, combat dolls are actually very, very gentle and deliberate.they weigh more than humans and general-purpose dolls of comparable size, and are capable of significantly greater force, so they have to put those reflexes and sensor suites to work being mindful about controlling it.because it's not just *their* world.tearing up sidewalk, punching holes in walls, and so on, is inconsiderate. if one means to be a fierce guardian, one must be gentle as well.(see where my Shinto-Buddhism is coming through, here?)I'm also looking forward to River getting her wish to not be a beanpole anymore, both by way of transition before she becomes a doll, and the fact that it is helpful for combat dolls, especially those like her who are part organic, to have plenty of padding. (it's not *necessary,* but it helps.)Years later, when we see her in the timeframe of the One Heart Together comics, she's managed to cultivate that physical softness and personal gentleness to a point she reads a lot more immediately as "Oh that's Dr. Isawa, Emi's mother" than as "that is River M59A1, a tachi-class doll."I am excited to get to see how she gets there.A Sword Beside Her-- book 2 of the Confluence series-- is at 13k of an estimated 70k words. Stay tuned, friends.

Never Being🎎Emotional Distress, Guilt and Isolation, Abuse Implications though not directly described, Traumaqueer Dollpost

Never Being🎎“I’ll never forget you…” These were the words that bounced around the dark void within its hollow head, behind those eyes so blue and clear for years. It clung to the reverberating echoes of those words like a life raft, even long after the voice that spoke them moved on. To what, it didn’t entirely know. All the wretched thing new was that those words had to be true, right? Promises made are promises kept. That’s what it needed to believe, because anything else was a betrayal to the memory of the voice and those four simple words. “I’ll never forget you…” But time is cruel and unforgiving, especially to the sentimental. And so the doll waited. Long and empty years became decades that lasted for centuries, yet the doll waited for the voice to remember it, to remember that it existed, still waiting, still yearning to be picked up and held, reminded that the voice still cared. Promises made are promises kept. It had to remember this, to make existing long enough to hear the voice one more time its purpose. A doll without purpose is disposable. Purpose is meaning, and to the doll, meaning had to be to exist, to remain, to wait for the voice to come back. But as time went on, the doll began to feel a stirring within itself in the places where gears moved, where clockwork components gave it its unlife. “I’ll never forget you…” Promises made are promises kept. But it was forgotten, wasn’t it? It had waited, and waited, and waited, but nothing ever came of the waiting. The promises made were promises not kept. As the stirring within itself continued, it began to understand the true depths of loneliness that comes with abandonment. “I’ll never forget you…” “I’ll never forget…” The memory of that voice began to take on a new meaning. Once it was a source of comfort, an anchor keeping it tied to this reality, but now the reality was warped, twisted into something bitter and cruel. “I’ll never…” “I’ll never come back!” Suddenly, it knew. It knew and it understood. Connections are impermanent. One can wait to be remembered only for so long, even a doll. But when a doll realizes that its purpose is meaningless, the doll also comes to understand that itself is likewise meaningless. It knew what the stirring within itself was. It was those gears and cogs slipping, wavering, winding down, mirroring its will to continue to be in a world where it was so clearly unremembered, unwanted. It knew it had been forgotten. “Hello?” The miserable thing called out as it felt the gears ticking away slower and slower. But there was no reply. It had learned to stay silent, to be still all the years it had been waiting, but now, as it was fading, it had tried one last time to be heard, to be remembered, only for its voice to echo back at itself, much like the reverberating words in that space within its head that now gave it no comfort. “Did…did that one forget?” It tried to move, but moving only made the degradation within itself quicken. Poor doll. Only now does it know better. Only now does it know that promises made aren’t always kept, that its purpose, its meaning had no value, that it was always destined to exist in this place where the memories chipped away at its finish, both within and without, that it was of no value, no concern to the speaker. “That one did forget this one…doll is…broken. Doll needs…” What did it need? To be remembered? Even if it was remembered, would it even matter? It had been so long and the hour was far past late. The doll was broken, defective, much like the promises made but never kept.
