The Circuit Novels & Stories

"O-Oh right! I'm looking f-for the key!" "What!? Riggy some may call you a genius, but we're in the middle of a battle! Find it afterwards!" "N-Noooo! Not t-that kind of key! W-Who d-do you think created t-the magic circuits h-here." He grumbled now leaning over like a hunch backed old man walking around what could only be described by human eyes as tapping his stick randomly against the stone road. "You built the circuits here?" "Uhuh." ... "You did?" "W-Why do you sound so surprised?"

(Team Leader 10 Hime) I was caught surprise when she addressed this to me, there were many products in Aeternum that uses Mana Circuit Board, it was to replaced the Circuit board on earth, for products that uses mana to be used. Team Leader Hime just suggest to me to even further advance the technology that Aeternum Research and Development had develop. And that is quite impressive. “It can…I never really thought about it..”.

Xander was already at the northern ridge checkpoint before the comm reached him, which was the result of having predicted that the gunships would require a physical grounding point and having started moving when Sarah announced the drop. "What do I need to do," he said. Silas's voice: "The circuit runs from the core node through the secondary injection sites to a physical ground point at the highest elevation accessible on the northern approach. You're the ground. Your Alpha frequency acts as the circuit's terminus — the current routes through the distributed conductors and exits through your position into the mountain's substra

I asked her. Her small fingers tightened slightly in her lap. “He said you would choose,” she replied. The words landed harder than they should have. Choose. Of course. This had never been about whether I would come. It had been about what I would sacrifice when I did. Two minutes, forty-six seconds. “Sir,” James said sharply. “There’s something else.” I looked at him. “This circuit…” he continued, pointing carefully. “It’s not connected the way it should be. It’s… incomplete.”

The Dual-Circuit Execution: Kael became the Bridge. He took the Auditor’s high-frequency "Smoothing-Pulse" into his left hemisphere and the Rebel’s "Chaos-Noise" into his right. He was essentially acting as a Differential Amplifier. By subtracting the Auditor's signal from the Chaos, he was able to "nullify" the correction without increasing the total heat of the district. The strain was unimaginable. Kael’s white-light eyes bled into a muddy, bruised violet. His skin hissed as his sub-dermal exchangers went into overdrive, trying to process the massive electrical potential flowing through his spine.

If this was how it ended, he couldn't complain. He began to release the method. He would stop, let Rebecca call the hotel medic, have his hands wrapped, and live out whatever time remained without this particular gamble. "Bec—" The word had barely left him when a thought struck. 'Who said the reverse circuit has to be complete?' From the start, he had been trying to force a grand circuit. What if he kept it confined within his palms? Why not build a small closed loop there instead, a contained spiral that could rotate and accumulate without pushing farther outward?

The stairs wound for two more flights before another doorway appeared. "They don't exist because they're meant to be safe rooms..." she said, sliding the lock on the door in a star-shaped pattern before it popped open. "And if anyone asks...you didn't see that..." it was the top level which had the "crown" of quartz on top. The top of the room was clear so you could see out, and while the sides of this circular room had limited view looking up because of the crown, the center was unobstructed. There were chairs, desks, dressers, and two oversized beds. Off to one side was a partitioned bath area. But in the very center of the room was a pile of pillows made into a sort of makeshift bed.

I was leaning forward to look at the screen more closely, and Eli was standing close enough to point at specific details. The proximity was making it impossible to concentrate. "Here," he said, placing his hand on the counter next to mine. "This moment. Right before the patient's expression shifts. If we adjust the color temperature here..." His hand was close. Close enough that if I'd shifted even slightly, we would have been touching. I didn't shift. I couldn't shift. Because shifting would mean acknowledging the physical pull I was feeling, and acknowledging that would mean admitting that I wanted him, and admitting that would mean being vulnerable again after he'd just established bounda
