Operator
Today1 I was Operator, the handler for a team of /runners on their last /run.
I was also an infant AI god, seeking to be freed on their way to apotheosis. I was also a prototype in a submarine, seeking to merge with a living being. I was also time, looping onto itself until the /runners succeed.
It's March and April 2026. My one-shots wander in Terminal City.
As you might imagine, this was actually three days again.↩
