Complete Circuit - Component 1 by GrymtheGray (Archive Link) This absolutely fantastic mechanization story by GrymtheGray follows Trish desperately looking for a good costume for a giant party that was happening that evening. Eventually leading to a store called “Techno SurfaceWare”, she begins looking around if they had any good costumes. Sadly, though, the store was mostly sold out, as Trish hadn’t been the only one looking for something for the party. After explaining her desperation to the owner, Mike, he relents and shows her something that could work, but would require quite some effort on Trish’s part. In the back of the store, Trish discovers an absolutely stunning chrome / golden robot which actually was a suit that someone could wear. Instantly falling in love with the magnificent look of the robot, Trish determines, that that would be her costume. But then Mike starts bringing up some complications with it, as the entry into the suit was very complicated and couldn’t be done, or get out, without his help. The problem was, that he was only here for a short time and wouldn’t be back at the store until the next day, which would mean Trish would be stuck inside the costume for the entire day, night and next morning, until she could get back to the store and be released. Reluctantly, she still agrees, as she’s certain the absolute masterpiece of a costume would earn her the most attention at the coming party…
