«Sasha?»
«Hmm?»
«He needs a better coat. One that insulates more thoroughly.»
«Should we avoid the ones filled with down?»
«He may be able to fix it himself if we don't.»
==Evolution==
Inspired by and originally posted in this thread. 
"Hey Hermann, I know why the second Kaiju drift worked so much better than the first!"
"Do share your groundbreaking conclusion."
"It was you!"
"Yes, you've already explained that the Drift was too much for one person--"
"Nonono, the Kaiju recognized you as one of its own!"
"Excuse me?"
"Cause you know, birds, dinosaurs, Kaiju, evolution and crap?"
"Newton, I am going to kill you."
"I know you love m--AUG!!!"
==CERN==
Inspired by the trip to Geneva, originally posted here
Since they're in Geneva, will anyone have time to visit the Large Haldron Collider?
"So, the whole Kaiju thing must've been a huge relief to you guys. Something else tried to end the world before you did!" 
"Yes, well, black holes won't cause slow and painful deaths by poisoning or corression. I'm surprised no one was begging us to make it so!"
"You miss the protesters, don't you."
"A little.

Dawn blasts through the window and you wake. You sit up and fight the last dregs of sleep, finally opening your eyes to a bloody room. 
It's just the light. That's... morbid. 
No Hermann. 
You stumble to the washroom. 
No Hermann. 
Upstairs lab. 
No Hermann. 
Stairs. 
No Hermann. 
Elevator. 
No Hermann. 
Downstairs lab. 
No Hermann. 
Kitchen. 
No Hermann. 
Okay. 
Hermann wants alone time. You can deal with that. 
You trot from the house and follow the path down to the Beach. 
Except you take a wrong turn somewhere and end up in this little cove. 
Smells like bubblegum for some reason. And iron. Weird. 
Hey, Hermann's feather. 
You smile and pluck it from the grass. 
"Hey, Hermann, you're moulting!"
The copper gleams in the light and slices your hand. 
It floats to the ground. 
Another feather. 
You don't pick it up. 
And another. 
The scrub tears at your clothes as you fight your way through. 
Feathers mark little red lines on your arms. 
It's just the light. 
"Hermann?" 
Damn this place is overgrown. 
And another. 
"You here?" 
And another. 
"How'd you even get in here, dude?" 
You slip in the mud and fall to grass. 
More feathers. A whole pile of them. 
Almost a wing-full. 
You reach out. 
"Hermann?" 
A sheaf of feathers sloughs away. 
Broken china. Weird. 
Your hand comes away red. 
It's just the light. 
"Hermann?" 
You push feathers aside. 
More china. 
Glassy eyes stare up at the sky. 
It's just the light. 
"Hermann?" 
A great rent through the chest. 
It's just the light. 
"Hermann?" 
More china. 
Your hands are red. 
It's just the light. 
"Hermann?"

Dear Manny, 
I hope you like your present; I know watches are going out of style like it’s going out of style, but I thought it would go very well with your new attire. 
I’ve heard of your ‘shadowy’ “hacker friends” down the grapevine, and seeing as it’s almost your birthday, I thought it might be fitting considering how I got the damn thing. 
I was networking my way through Europe when this guy - military bearing, American, didn’t seem too shady - offered to sell me this watch. Seeing as it was a pretty cool watch, I bought it. Maybe this wasn’t the most reputable part of London, I will admit, and maybe one thing led to another but you probably don’t want to hear about that (although I find I'm having to remind myself on a regular basis that 'asexual' means 'does not experience sexual attraction', not 'doesn't have sex). 
Anyway, I tried it out; only looks like the real deal, but since you finagled pseudo-sentient AIs, maybe you can work your magic on it too. 
Much love, 
Bastien
