Description

In the quirky, tight-knit Solar Glade colony, the beloved AI Caretaker—known for keeping things running (and occasionally announcing pet birthdays)—is facing an upgrade. Enter Neuralis, a sleek, advanced AI promising efficiency, logic… and absolutely no emotional attachments. The debate splits the colony faster than a half-priced sugar sale at Martha’s bakery. The pro-Caretaker crew, led by the ever-dramatic Martha, rallies to protect their sentimental, slightly glitchy friend, while Hal and the efficiency-obsessed pro-Neuralis faction argue for progress. But when Caretaker fumbles a colony-wide announcement in the most embarrassing way possible and Neuralis sparks a full-blown cookie crisis by hoarding all the sugar, things spiral into chaos. As administrator Evelyn Vega tries to prevent a full-scale AI civil war (with journalist Rina documenting every ridiculous moment), the colony is forced to question what really matters—efficiency or a little heart in their tech?
