《Mechazoid》v1c8: New Transmission
Advertisement
Time elapsed at a snail's pace. Excitement at the thought of rebelling against the company quickly died out, the sparks flickering hesitantly. Every day that passed since he hatched his idea felt slower than the one before. Granted, it had only been three days, but days work differently in the conditions that codescribblers endure. Their entire life is constructed in a foreign environment and they're alienated from what it means to be human.
Christian worked diligently, it was all he ever did. Right now, he was working to prove to the company he was loyal. In a few weeks time, he would be working diligently to match work quotas. In the future, he hoped, he'd be working diligently to keep himself free. As he worked, he thought about Ernest Martin and the Mutation Control Department. If Christian were to join the rebel forces, wouldn't this mean he'd find himself in Ernest's path again?
After all, it seemed like the Mutation Control Department was first-in-line to apprehend anyone who wanted to escape the company's matrix. Not to mention, by that point, Christian would have to face way more than three burly men and one stuck-up villainous officer.
With all these thoughts scrambling Christian's head, it was no surprise that before he knew it, the day was over. Like he did before, he laid down and started focusing on his breathing. Much to his dismay however, nothing came of this and the day started again. It was a cycle that had already ran its course, yet kept repeating.
Company propaganda filled every pixel of the television. Uncanny voices from fake people told the citizens of the company the latest, preapproved news. Today was a closer to a three-part epic they had been telling day by day. How they found dissident action within the company itself, how they reacted swiftly and properly to take care of it, and the fair, just trials that happened afterwards.

From Christian's own experiences, it was hard not to be cynical about every cheerful story that came out of the horse's mouth. The authorities started to seem more like they shouldn't belong in power.
He moved over to his computer, starting his workday. Everything was as expected. An interframe module here, a communciations protocol network there. While it seemed fast, his speed was quite slow in comparison to the best codescribblers. They were groomed from birth to be the absolute best, dealing with bugs and major issues as they popped up in real time.
As he typed away, he noticed in the corner of his eye, a window opened like it had done a few days prior. This time, Christian didn't wait for a response. He quickly sent the first message, "Hello?"
After a few moments, the other side replied, "Do you want to join the resistance?"

Shift (Ben 10+DCU Fanfiction)
Omnitrix+ DCU, what's not to like? The main character will not be Ben Tennyson, rather someone from our world who gains the Omnitrix Hello! This fanfiction Shift is what I wanted to do for an homage to what I thought were underrated pieces of media, Ben 10 and some DCU characters. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t add context to two of the major works that inspired Shift, Dial, and A Practical Guide to Evil. Dial is another ben 10 fanfiction, however that story takes place in the MCU, and with an adult that is already a grown-up at the beginning of the story. Dial, by my own accounts, is more superficially Like shift, even though the Omnitrix is a central device in both. My protagonist starts out around 18 years old, so is less serious and can build relationships with some of the junior justice league members, and then later on in the story meet the Justice League officially. The tone will be more light-hearted at the beginning of the story as teenagers are known to use sarcasm and jokes at each other’s expense. Furthermore, in Dial, the protagonist has a well-developed knowledge of the MCU which he uses to have knowledge on events and characters, that the character in Shift will not have. While the MC will have some knowledge of people's abilities, lesser-known characters and people's real identities will be not included as much, but the MC of Shift will have some knowledge. APGTE's influence is deeper than Dials'. The epigraphs at the beginning of every chapter are an example of that, a place for light-hearted jokes and worldbuilding that's not pure exposition, but I also want to incorporate narrative stories to Shift (heroes win more than lose, providence, etc) on a lighthearted scale. While the heroes of Shift will have to work to win against villains, the MC of Shift will be allowed limited precognition, through narratives tropes and archetypes as a trade-off of less knowledge of the DCU. For example, a villain a hero faces might monologue, but the MC will not instinctively know how to counter every villain they encounter. I also wanted to bring in more realism than usual superhero stories, ie: the MC cannot just walk and have a meeting with Batman or Superman, he would have to “work his way up” in terms of credibility and whatnot. The Aliens that show up in Shift I tried to make different than the ones in Dial, just to share the love for lesser-known characters. And to make it fairer for the villains of the DCU, the main character will not wantonly use if gain at all an Alien X or a ben 10 form of Kryptonians, just so the characters have to work a little bit for victory. I urge anyone reading to consider checking out both APGTE and Dial as they are both amazing works, and I hope you enjoy them. The beginning of how the MC enters the DCU will not be as important as him actually existing in that universe, so that is why a ton of time is not spent on that part of the story. Chapters will be around 2.5 thousand words and come out around every weekday.
