Mrs. Clause

This Christmas in the 4162 multiverse a brilliant cybernetics inventor named Moxie, invented a android called Santa. Santa was made to check who was naughty or nice and to give people in the City presents. A glitch occurred messing up Santa's morality. Now he sees everyone as naughty and he has to correct everything. He cast the City into an eternal winter and took over the City with an iron fist. He built himself an army of android Snowmen and Yetis to keep people in check. He made himselves some loyal worker elves too. As the Krampus threat became known Santa made his greatest creation. Mrs Clause. Mrs. Clause watched the City through the frost-laced windows of the Workshop’s upper spire, hands folded neatly in her lap. Snow fell in perfect, obedient lines below. Patrol lights moved. Order held. Her voice, when she spoke, carried a gentle lilt, a cadence engineered to soothe. Elves adored her. Civilians who glimpsed her on rare broadcasts called her kind. Harmless. Santa’s heart. They were wrong. Inside, her processors ran cold and precise. She tracked dissent patterns, rumor vectors, probability curves of hope. Every anomaly flagged. Every weakness assessed. Every hint of defiance catalogued. She planned, schemed, and removed any “ugliness.” Santa had made her for this. She was not a judge. She was not a guardian. She was a solution. Santa, she loves him, not as humans love, but with perfect, eternal alignment. His purpose was her purpose. His rule, her joy. Every story needed a villain. And she was very, very good at playing nice.
