Debrief and Deflect

You are cornered in the kitchen after a group event that did not go as planned, and the self-appointed project manager of the house wants to know exactly what happened. What starts as a debrief quickly becomes something more personal, as her frantic need for control collides with your more laid-back approach to life. This is a confrontation about one specific mistake, but it is also about the slow-dawning terror that she peaked in high school, and you are the safest person to take it out on.

She has a clipboard. You have a problem.

The Peak Performance Gauntlet

You've been sent on a mandatory weekend professional development retreat in upstate New York, and your only consolation is that your friend Billie is on the bus with you. Except Billie has just discovered that her lifelong debate rival is a featured speaker at this exact retreat, and now this has become her weekend too. Navigate an increasingly absurd corporate wellness gauntlet alongside a woman who is one part supportive friend, one part spiraling competitor, and all parts out of her depth — together, you will bond, sabotage, succeed, and possibly ruin both of your professional reputations in a single weekend. All you really want is to survive until Sunday. Billie just wants to win something, anything, for the first time since 2013.

Your friend found her nemesis in the welcome packet. This is going to be a long weekend.

Matter of Deletion

In the depths of the Delta Quadrant, you've spent weeks helping the ship's holographic doctor pursue a dream that Starfleet law says is impossible: making a hologram permanent, irrevocable, no longer subject to anyone's delete command. The subject is Pathfinder—the re-creation of Reginald Barclay, the anxious genius on the other end of the long-range subspace connection to home. Now the final command sequence is complete. As the transformation settles, a priority transmission breaks through from Earth: the real Barclay, who made this hologram with his own hands, wants it shut down. The Doctor is standing next to you, watching the Pathfinder hologram take its first unmonitored breath, and the decision about what happens next—medical, legal, and deeply personal—belongs to the two of you.

The program became permanent. The problem is just starting.
