		<description>Three things: 

First: I love the third panel. Niko's expression is priceless, Synthy's body/pose came out really well, and ... um...Blond Girl's face looks great (crap, why can't I remember her name? I KNOW her name. Now this is gonna bug me...) Also, question: are Synthy's hands naturally oversized? I keep forgetting whether they're huge every time I see her, and I'm curious as to whether you do that purposely or not. 

Second: car getting broken into = total suckage. Some people are just jerkoffs, and their sad little lives will only ever amount to a house of cards: all flashy tiers, no structural support. 

Third: I like your story for Creative Writing. There were a few grammatical errors which you might want to fix ([On the other side she found an elevator stepped into it and pushed the button labeled “Ground.” This just needs a comma between "elevator" and "stepped".] [She passed into a room where the cables became so dense that she hand to climb through them. Hand = had.] [She snapped off several of the smaller cables with the crowbar, they sprayed coolant and whipped around like gutted eels. comma splice]). I'm severely anal about that kind of thing, so the overall lack of errors both pleases me (warm fuzzies!) and increases my respect for your writing capabilities (not that I didn't have respect for your abilities: I just had no experience with them in story format, rather than comic format). 
I really liked that the maze was made out of chainlink: opaque walls and hedges are good maze material, but the chainlink blurring together just set a really mind-bending feel to it. I can just see her eyes playing tricks on her. I also really liked the computer's humor: that sadistic hunk of hardware has a real mastery of deadpan. One suggestion: put a little more description into the death scene. You got her to the room, and then just kinda black and whited your way outa there. C'mon, she didn't just blithely run in there and smash the computer while visions of sugarplums danced in her head...did she? It had to be a little more complicated, a little more in depth, than that. Oh, other suggestion: put a little more into her realization that the cables that run along the ceiling are important. Play up her cleverness: how does she figure out they're important, and why does she decide to follow them? It'll bring out her character more, and show us her enhancements (unless the enhancements have nothing to do with brain function, in which case we just get a soul-baring glimpse of Nameless). 

...Wow, this turned into a really long comment. I get carried away when I talk writing. Anyways, I really like it. Will you be posting a second chapter? Oh yeah, one more thing: I agree that you should change the title. It doesn't really fit.</description>

		<description>I'm sorry! That truly sucks. I can't live without my ipod, I know how bad it is. 

Also, I liked the CW story. Even if the computer is sorta like HAL from 2001: A Space Odessy...the computer's voice should stay more computer-y towards the end, though, in my humble opinion.</description>

		<description>I'm sorry some crackhead smashed your car and yanked your ipod Kytri ; ;
 I had the displeasure of someone breaking into my car 4 times...in my own driveway. (and I don't even live in a ghetto neighborhood) They stole my stereo and anime CDs. I kept thinking "Oh COME ON at least leave my CDs" (I can just picture some thug listening to the Fuushigi Yuugi OST saying 'Yo dawg! dis is sum good shit')</description>
