Summary: When Peter finds a dead robot at a murder scene, the obvious choice is to bring in the military to help fix something they created. What Peter didn't expect was to start caring for the robot like he would a son, or realize that the robot was keeping secrets from him. Secrets that could cost both of them their lives.
Notes: This story is a cross-over between White Collar and Stargate Atlantis and takes place in the
Scruffy AI 'Verse which was originally created by
taste_is_sweet. Her AU is a fantastic journey through the Stargate Atlantis fandom where robots are a bit more common than they are now.
While you don’t need to read those stories to understand this one (I hope!) I think you’d really enjoy them. Huge thanks to Taste-is-Sweet for allowing me to borrow her world and bring it from the Pegasus Galaxy to New York.
Thanks so much to my betas:
taste_is_sweet and
rabidchild67 for their excellent work. I really appreciate it, guys! Any errors are clearly my own.
The title comes from the song
Sixteen Tons. It has been a tradition to title all the stories in the Scruffy AI series from this song’s lyrics.
