    Summary

    Dave Bowman is calm. He’s not upset. He’s not panicking. He’s calmly, efficiently making his way to the ship’s logic core.

    There is horror threatening to seep in around the edges. He’s in an airless ship with three dead astronauts and an insane computer. He just jettisoned Frank’s body into the depths of space. He’s a hundred million miles from home, and the communication antenna is broken.

    But Dave has a simple objective. He’s going to get to the logic core and disconnect HAL.

    —

    Or, a non-traditional love story between an AI and the human he once tried to kill.

    Summary

    Let me go back to sleep, Stanley thinks to himself. I’m through with this reality. Let it be over.

    Let me go back into the dream, let me continue pushing the buttons, please, it’s all I want.

    I want my office, and my Narrator, and my bucket. All I want is my life exactly the way it’s always been.

    My life isn’t, shouldn’t be, normal. I’m not normal. Everything is going to hell.

    I am not okay.

     

    (Or: Stanley wakes up from a strange dream... and finds himself in a waking nightmare instead.)

    Summary

    With Wheatley in tow, Chell might as well write "DISPENSE PRODUCT HERE" on her shirt and throw herself in front of a turret - but she can't leave him behind, either.
