These are the stories of Mainframe and of its citizens that aren’t apart of the other series. These were uncovered when the other stories were found and give us a glimpse at a lighter side of the Mainframe Staff and system when not fighting against the viruses of their world.
The Last Laugh
Inspired by “Julia Gets Her Head Stuck in a Fence”, Designing Women episode
Originally planned as an entry into one of the Al’s Waiter Fiction Contests, this one shot occurs after the system restart that happened at the end of Season 3. While planning a celebration for the heroes that had returned and the heroes that had saved their home, Dot and the others find that working together will be harder than planned. That is until they come upon an unsuspecting problem.

Mainframe’s Fractured Fairy Tales
Taking a page for a moose and squirrel, Agent 66 presents a couple of fairy tales; or rather Megabyte presents a couple of fairy tales to the kids at the Little Bits Elementary School.
