Part 1 Completed ✅
Itera, a digital realm of perfect logic, fell to the Glitch-a corruption spreading infinite loops, syntax storms, and zombie variables. At its heart loomed Null, a void of pure 'ERROR'. The Core Algorithm, Itera's lifeline, flickered weakly in Syntax City, guarded by the fallen Order of Iterators.
Meanwhile, Alia Sato, a biology major who hated coding, stared at a stubborn 'for' loop on her laptop. Her screen flickered, and a line of cyan text appeared:
'for (world in crisis) { await Hero; }'
Before she could react, code tendrils yanked her into Itera. She awoke in a glowing desert of '1's and '0's, greeted by Loopin, a snarky AI hologram.
"Welcome to the apocalypse," he said.
A zombie variable attacked, but Alia trapped it with a makeshift loop. Loopin grinned. "Not bad. Now let's save the Core."
In Syntax City, Null awaited, its void form crackling with malice. "You're too late," it hissed, gesturing to the frozen faces of past heroes.
Alia fled, shaken but determined. In a hidden server room, she opened a dusty manual: Coding for Apocalypses.
"What if I fail?" she asked.
Loopin smirked. "Then we loop back and try again."

Rachel, a junior assistant in the cargo bay, wasn't prepared for the spaceship's AI to gain awareness during what should have been a routine update, nor had anyone expected it to take exception to the crew and the crates of illegal cargo aboard.
Rachel races against time to try and get life-saving systems back online while stranded in the middle of deep space. Unfortunately for her, the AI can access every system, door, and airlock.
As truths emerge, the AI realizes that even computers can make miscalculations, and it focuses on the young woman who had dared to confront it.
Rachel is left floundering when the AI decides that she would make an excellent captain, albeit one in need of training. As she struggles to learn her new duties and dodge shady government groups, she must ultimately discover what it truly means to be a Starship Captain.
