Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.

"And why aren't you there instead of playing keep away with Yaku's computer?" Deimosu asked.

Yaku was standing at Skuld's side staring at her computer plaintively and glancing back toward the various Big Brothers and Big Sisters.

"I'm fixing it," Skuld corrected. "It's gotten a bit loose and and dirty and everything. You'd almost think it hasn't been maintained for a couple of thousand years."

"It hasn't been," Yonjuu noted.

"Eh?" Skuld asked. "Where'd you get it?"

"In the Labyrinth," Yaku said. "Somebody named Daedulus owned it."

Skuld froze and her hands started to shake such that she very carefully pulled them away from the computer and stared at in a very clear expression of awe.

Music filled the air around her and a golden light came down from the heavens above to lance upon the computer.

Naiki arched an eyebrow and walked over to poke the engineer.

"I think you broke her, kid," Naiki said.

"Eeeee!" Skuld shrieked finally. "I have Weyland's hammer and a papyrus inscribed by Imohotep, if some jerk hasn't stolen it. I even have a bit of Einstein's hair!"

"Ewwww," Yaku and Naiki said in unison.

"Can I have it?" Skuld asked hopefully.

Yaku grabbed the computer and hugged it to her.

"Mine," she said.

"I can give you a better one," Skuld offered quickly.

"Mine," the girl said.

"But...Daedulus," she said despairingly.
