G-Prime is a pretty quiet sector, these days. Megabyte is gone, but his legacy lives on in the form of a populace too terrified to get near his old stomping grounds. (Not everyone is scared of it, of course. Some programs like it there. But they're weird ( Read more... ) -
Waiting Room
There are a number of surprisingly well-dressed programs waiting outside the Principal Office medbay.
They are well-dressed because they just came from a wedding.

Fortunately, one of the perks of marrying the COMMAND.COM is that it's easy to get a public space set aside for whatever reason. Thus, the largest island in Floating Point Park is now decked out with balloons, ribbons, decorated picnic tables, and a low ( Read more... ) -

The wedding is less than a second away, and Bob's been informed that he's expected to write his own vows. He promised Dot that he'd have them written by the end of the week.
Now, two cycles later, he's still got nothing.Bob gets up from his seat and paces to the far corner of the room and back again. He stares down at the .txt file on the table, ( Read more... )
