Summary
K-2SO reboots. He is an Imperial droid in an Imperial prison, but that's where things stop making sense: His base code has be re-worked into a mess of directories, subroutines, and patches. He has no memory of the last 2.82 years, but it's not a standard memory wipe because it left behind empty files where there should be clean storage space. Strangest of all, he has no loyalty to the Empire.
If he can find the prisoner who somehow knows his designation, there's a small chance — very small — that K-2SO might also find answers.

Summary
After your father and everyone else is gone (to murder, to illness, to cold, to accident) you learn to keep your eyes open. There is so very much to be afraid of. So many ways to die, to hurt, to lose. Your parents and aunties used to fear them for you, but they can't do that anymore, so now it's up to you.
You figure it out. Soon, you have a whole arsenal of fears to keep you safe, and three or four tricks to keeping your eyes open, even when you sleep.

Summary
Everyone knew the story: Once upon a time, humanity ruled the earth, but our self-destructive nature led to disaster. Climate crisis, war, disease, and radioactive dead zones killed enough of us to threaten extinction.
But then, in our bleakest hour, the Fae stepped out of legend and into Southern California. Their magic cleansed the land, calmed the skies, and protected us from our own worst impulses. We showed our gratitude with obedience and, once every seven years, by surrendering an innocent life.
Cassian thought the story was bullshit.

Summary
Arad examined the long-range hauler from the dock's viewport. It was an older ship — one from a decade that had valued charm rather than the brutal efficiency of the present — with big viewports, broad curves and pleasing angles. The hull was banged up in places and needed new ablative coating, but looked solid.
At the price the shipyard was asking, 'charming' and 'solid' were suspicious. "What's wrong with it?"
The hard-bitten saleswoman shrugged. "CO2 scrubbers crapped out, killed the previous owner. Docked with his corpse still in the pilot seat." She took a drag from a vapor cartridge, her breath coming away smelling like pineapple. "We've overhauled the life support systems, but people get superstitious about that kind of thing."
Most people weren't as good with ship systems as Arad was. "I'll take it."
