Fanfic: "Every Day a Drudge" (Roleswap)

Creator: [personal profile] hokuton_punch
Title: Every Day a Drudge
Type of Work: Fanfic
Prompt: "A sorta swap AU where the Security Guard is an AI and Leela, Durandal, and Tycho are all human. Probably set somewhere before the invasion or the invasion never happens; and it'd be a bit slice-of-life-y starring a head scientist, the chief of defense, the poor guy who can't seem to make it beyond being an intern under that jerk Strauss, and their AI friend who just wants to do a good job"
Summary: A day in the life of one poor intern on the Marathon.
Content Notes: Hostile work environment for human and machine alike (because Strauss), some arguing, some foreshadowing.
Preview:

"You're late," Strauss said.

"I'm five minutes early," Durandal protested, sliding into the seat of his workstation in the cybertonics lab.

"Which may as well be twenty minutes late, with as much work as you need to do today."
