In the grim darkness of the far future a brave Mechanicus explorator team discover a fascinating piece of archeotech.

Initially concerned that it might be a form of abominable intelligence their fears are soon assuaged by it's friendly but often simplistic and unhelpful advice.

As the investigation continues a schism forms within their party over whether Clippy, as the entity calls itself, is a primitive aspect of the Omnissiah or a manifestation of the ruinous powers.

Hilarity ensues.

You have been reincarnated as a stuffed toy. You belong to a little girl. When it gets dark, the shadowy things come - you are the girl’s only defender.

You finally get the radio telescope to yourself for an evening. With a little luck, you might get useful data for your thesis.

You turn the dishes towards the part of the sky you wish to examine.

There is a clear radio signal.

“Mission Control,” says a gravelly voice. “We are aborting the alpha-nine-one-one flyby. The system is infected with humans. Repeat, alpha-nine-one-one, is infected with humans.”

In your dreams, you are frequently a great #hero and heir to a powerful throne. You save princesses, defeat evil witches, drive out #dragons, stop #monsters, and generally be the hero you always wanted to be.

Then you wake up to your boring life and boring job.

That is until one day a man no taller than your coffee mug appears on your kitchen table. He begs you to come and save the kingdom of Andipardmin which is besieged by an army of massive dragons.

Colin Blaze and the stolen memories

Blaze has been offered an obscene pile of cold harsh cash to recover a stolen item. That item, it turns out, is the memories of an eccentric recluse who claims (tattered clothes to the contrary) to be the richest man in the world by ten orders of magnitude.

#WritingPrompt

FYI: Colin Blaze is a recurring prompt character. Anyone may use Colin Blaze in their stories. All we ask is an acknowledgement or shout-out or something.
