Complete Circuit - Component 1 by GrymtheGray
This absolutely fantastic mechanization story by GrymtheGray follows Trish desperately looking for a good costume for a giant party that was happening that evening. Eventually leading to a store called “Techno SurfaceWare”, she begins looking around if they had any good costumes. Sadly, though, the store was mostly sold out, as Trish hadn't been the only one looking for something for the party. After explaining her desperation to the owner, Mike, he relents and shows her something that could work, but would require quite some effort on Trish's part. In the back of the store, Trish discovers an absolutely stunning chrome / golden robot which actually was a suit that someone could wear. Instantly falling in love with the magnificent look of the robot, Trish determines, that that would be her costume. But then Mike starts bringing up some complications with it, as the entry into the suit was very complicated and couldn't be done, or get out, without his help. The problem was, that he was only here for a short time and wouldn't be back at the store until the next day, which would mean Trish would be stuck inside the costume for the entire day, night and next morning, until she could get back to the store and be released. Reluctantly, she still agrees, as she's certain the absolute masterpiece of a costume would earn her the most attention at the coming party…

The two of them started at one end and looked at almost everything in the store. By the time they had finished they had quite a number of items in the 'Final Possibilities' stack.
When they were looking through it and Trish was trying to make some final decisions, "I'm sorry Mike but as nice as all this is, it just falls short on what I had really wanted for tonight."
"You see I just finished a big project for work that has kept me hopping all over the country for over a year and because of that my social life has been the pits. I was hoping for something to get my night life jump started with a BANG!" Trish set a gold and black circuit patterned Lycra body suit down.
Mike looked at her and then sorted through the items it had taken them almost an hour to dig out of all corners of the store. "Well there is something..."
