Cold Hands
A KR08 piece. I forget which episode this is meant to tag, but it's just also trying to get into KITT3's head.
The command center, for once, is empty. Or as empty as it can be, with security protocol dictating that at least one member be occupying it at all times, especially in the dead of night. Tonight, it is Mike Knight as the lone sentry. A curious development-- a deviation, even, in his behavior. Perhaps Mr. Graiman's absence is an influence?
You ache to know. Silently, you switch on your scanner lights, upping the output until the stretch of the stone bunker you're facing is crimson. Mike's heart rate increases immediately. His breath, once even, hitches, and he turns to face you.
"I thought you were asleep," Mike says. "What's up?"
He abandons his post by pushing out of the chair and coming to stand by your fender. His left hand ghosts across your roof line, but the rest of him is held at arm's length. He looks strange, stretched out like that, like he's nervous to get close.
You consider drawing him in with humor. But the hour is late and he may be exhausted enough to grant you some mercy with your prying.
"You do not usually take the night shift," you say. "Particularly after arduous missions like today."
Mike tilts his head back. This is what he does, you know, when he is posed with a fact he wasn't expecting to confront.
"I just knew I wouldn't be able to sleep, KITT. I got a lot of guns pointed at me today."
Indeed.
You do not know how to compute that. He always has guns pointed at him. Up until this moment, you hadn’t considered it disturbed him.
"So you would have trouble sleeping," you surmise.
He smiles, head still tipped back, gaze fixed on the ceiling. His boots shuffle across the ground, bringing him closer to your chassis, which you start warming to the touch. The nanites are one of the few things that listen to you and you alone.
“Yeah. Yeah, but who doesn’t in this line of work?”
You briefly run the numbers. Not because his rhetorical question forces you to, but because you are curious. You only have organic data on the Graimans, Mike, and the few operatives blessed to have joined You previously. Sarah rarely sleeps soundly. Statistically, disturbed sleep is apparently common in “this line of work.”
Fascinating.
It is so utterly out of your control.
Yet you ache to be of assistance. You crunch ever more numbers and find yourself wanting. Mike leans more heavily against your body, until his torso is flat against your door, arms folded over your roof. He is warm. Perhaps he finds you warm, as well.
“You should rest here. I have been told my seats are quite comfortable.”
They should be, anyway. You can manipulate their form at will.
Mike laughs a little. It echoes. You capture the sound.
“Won’t I get in trouble for sleepin’ on the job, KITT? I thought you didn’t like it when I slacked off.”
You do not like it. His inability to focus on the job left you taskless and bored at the best of times. But just a month ago, he’d flatlined in your care, and just eight hours ago, he’d almost left you again. Conclusion: concessions must be made. Humans operate poorly when their needs are not met.
You open the driver’s door. Mike laughs again, hearing it, and strides around your hood. His hand drags lightly across your scanner cowling, sending reams of data through your processor. All of him leaves flashpoints of color across your matrix as he caves in to your plea and settles into the driver’s seat.
Several unformed ideas and thoughts skim your brain. You dismiss them harshly.
“Good night, Mike,” you murmur into the sound system.
He mumbles something in acknowledgement, but he’s asleep the moment his head drops back against the seat.

KI3T (Knight Rider 2008)
Tried to recreate the top picture to make it bigger, since google doesn’t have a better quality of it (under the cut)
Not much better, but at least bigger
Also tried to remake it with K.I.T.T.

How is Rodrigues becoming more sustainable?
Located approximately 370 miles off the northeast coast of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean, Rodrigues Island boasts to be the most authentic of the Mascarene Island. The population derives a living mainly from fishing, local crafts, agriculture, livestock farming and tourism. Completely surrounded by a coral reef, the island of 108km square is mainly visited […]

Weird little headshot thingys I did for Knight Rider (1982) and Knight Rider (2008)
On the top we have K.I.T.T.(left) and K.A.R.R.(right). Both designs intended to look sleek and fast. Designs aren't final. Kr's colors are *way* too light but At This Point, I Don't Care Anymore. I'm not digging through all those folders to fix it. Sorry buddy.
On the bottom we have K.I.3.T.(left) and K.A.R.R v.2 (right). Both designs are more compact and muscular, now with * more armored scales* and *extra stabby* K.I.3.T. got a little cobra like hood to flare out in attack mode. I BS'd the backgrounds on all four. Kr2 looks like the manic he is.

prompt: Bonnie treats Kitt3 right
Some discretion was taken with this. Mostly the ABS and such-- gotta assume that KITT and KI3T have the whole nightmare, even in the 80s. Bonnie isn't too flabbergasted by the tech because KITT is, as they say, the car of the future.
"KITT, turn your wheel all the way to the right, please."
KITT-- Three Thousand-- turns his wheel all the way to the right. Immediately, hands are all over his frame again, untangling the brake line from the wheel hub assembly. He uses a portion of his sophisticated sensory suite to watch Bonnie work, even as her face screws up in consternation, her most common expression since beginning maintenance.
And what maintenance it is! She's propped him up on jackstands and wooden blocks. It is a far cry from the gyroscopic, laser-equipped armory he's used to. It gives him time to reflect on what he considers normal. As it turns out, if a human is involved with his care, it is through a laptop.
But laptops do not exist here. And this time, his failure is... physical.
"You seem perturbed, Dr. Barstow," he says quietly.
Bonnie's face scrunches up. She fusses at the knot of sensors dangling from his front left wheel. With him unable to power down, it is a mess of data, all of it erroneous. But--
Not unwelcome.
"Not-- perturbed, KITT," she says, echoing him. "Just can't make heads or tails of what's going on here. Pretty sure it's not supposed to look like this, though. Is it?"
She brandishes some of the cables underneath his chassis. A curious location, but not useless. And it seems practiced, or at least embedded in muscle memory, as her shoulders drop several inches. Confusion is always so fascinating on humans. It's enough to soothe his irritation at his fouled eyes; the plastic sheathing has melted together.
"No, it is not. It appears I have melted the bulk of my wheel speed sensors on this side."
His fault. The 1974 Mustang II form he'd adopted had been, as Mike would say, slapped together. And consolidating all of his functions into such a tight package was, ah.
Not what he was designed to do.
Bonnie brushes her fingers across a piece of his subframe. It shouldn't feel like anything, but the nanoskin is more sensitive than usual like this. And it's a wholly novel experience. Humans do not touch him often.
It is... undeniably a positive impact.
Eventually, she pushes herself up to a standing position, silent.
KITT watches her raptly.
"Want me to see if any of, uh, KITT's parts will fit?" Bonnie asks finally. Once again, she seems 'put out', clearly trying to come up with a solution and finding none.
"I do not wish to impose. If my databanks are correct, replacement parts for my predecessor were... expensive. Nearly a quarter of the Foundation's budg--"
Her face goes gray. Wisely, he ceases speaking, because he likes her. If it'd been anyone else...
"Don't remind me. Jesus. Okay. Look, let me just see if they'll fit, okay?"
"Of course," KITT says. "I am not going anywhere."
Bonnie laughs and ducks out of the trailer. His analyzer reads it as 'slightly hysterical.' Perhaps the circumstances are painful for both of them.

I had my very first experience as an English teacher yesterday, the class is small, we introduce ourselves, talk a bit about our families, where we live, what we like, y'know the "basic stuff" as they're adults (+1 teen). I'm teaching Level 2 English, so all this convo was useful not only to get to know each other before classes really start but also to review all they learned in Level 1 previously.
And then, as we go from one topic to another, letting the talk flow, I mention I have been watching Knight Rider (1982) and I made a point to watch it with subtitles in English because I'm not familiar with early 80s lingo - the point is, watching something I enjoy, I'm learning new vocabulary too. Then I show a picture of a Knight Rider poster on my tablet to let them know what I'm talking about.
And then this girl stares at it wide eyed. "WAIT. WAIT, I KNOW IT. I WATCHED AS A KID WITH MY DAD. IT'S CALLED......"
We both say the Brazilian Portuguese title of the series at the same time. "A SUPER MÁQUINA!"
So with a bit more talking, it turns out she watched the 2008 series with the Mustang and she loved KITT so much she's currently studying Control and Automation Engineering.
AM I TOUCHED? AM I HAPPY TO KNOW THIS LITTLE SERIES HAD SUCH AN IMPACT ON SOMEONE? ABSOLUTELY NOT, WHAT GIVES YOU THIS IMPRESSION AUDSHSFLAFUIOHLDF???

Last night I dreamt that they brought back Knight Rider 2008 for another season (for whatever the fuck reason) and it started off by bringing back KI2T, circuits and vehicle wholly, and of course they started bickering with KI3T. "Why have I been replaced with this nonsensical beast??" "Michael would not have let this happen!" Etc...
The reason that KI2T was brought back as a whole was to a). share their past memories on missions that were blocked behind a password wall that no one except the OG Michael Knight (hoff) and KI2T possessed or knew about (and that KI3T could not for the life of them work around - "primitive encryption that modern machines didn't know how to break", and the Hoff had forgotten the password through not using it over the past few decades) and b.) to add to the team and get upgrades(kind of a type of fanservice?? I would be 100% for this lol - seeing KI2T apart and "dead" in the KR2008 pilot, I honestly cried lmao)
I unfortunately woke up before a major plot point was revealed, but would LOVE a bonus episode of KR2008 like that.
Gonna tag @volbeast and @knightthreethousand because I don't just want to yell into the void about this lol

KR and KR 08 Xmas Xover idea
So since the fandom has been throwing around some amazing ideas so far, I figured I’d throw another out there for our fandom to pick apart and muse over.
I was watching a christmas comedy and it made me muse over a time travel christmas fic with Knight Rider and KR 08.
I like the idea of there being some unresolved tension with Mike and his father, so I was musing of, what if Mike’s not having a really great Christmas.
It’s FLAG’s first christmas in the aftermath of the whole KARRE mess. With the team now just Billy, Zoe, Sarah, Mike and KI3T. And though the team’s trying their best. It being the first Christmas without Charles Graiman is taking a toll on morale.
Mike’s never been super fond of Christmas, namely because of the troubled childhood he had courtesy of being the son of Michael Knight.
I always had the headcanon that something bad happened to force Mike and his mom into Witness protection and it prompted Michael to stay away supposedly for Mike’s protection.
So Mike’s grown up without his Dad around, his Mom’s also gone this year too, and seeing Sarah down and the team in low spirits as they approach a drastically different Christmas. Mike feels overwhelmed with trying to make it a good holiday on his own with KI3T’s help.
Through a series of hijinks either magic, sci fi explained, or what not the fandom may speculate at will.
Mike and KI3T wind up back in time to the 80′s and have to help KITT and Michael with a similar case... while trying not to give his younger father and the older KITT clues of his and KI3T’s identity.
I just loved the thought of Mike and KI3T (with KI3T donning the old mustang configuration he used when they were trying to keep under the radar) having to struggle to not only get back but also resolve this case that seems very similar to the one they were dealing with.
This could also be the year Michael lost Stevie, so we’ve got some of that struggle on OG FLAG’s part.
Mike does his best to try and not stand out too much as an unexpecting time traveler, does he manage it? Not sure yet. But by the end of it the KITT’s definitely know for sure.
KITT’s too sharp to miss an AI and KI3T would probably have a LITTLE hero worship, and with the recent loss of his creator, might be looking for some support from the older AI. Even briefly.
However the hijinks go, upon returning Mike and KI3T have a new view of their predecessors and Mike decides to invite his father and the old KITT along with some of the old FLAG members to join the new FLAG to celebrate Christmas.
Turning the somber christmas for Mike’s team, into an opportunity to bridge new and old.
Or something like that XP
Please tell me your guys thoughts!
#Knight Rider#KR 08#KITT#Michael Knight#Mike Knight#KI3T#Christmas headcanons#Not having the happiest of holidays so let's have a happy KR one!#Time travel shenanigans#Because traveling back to the 80s is great#'The 80's was the future Back to the Future was trying to get back to'#'Now it's the past Mike and KI3T are trying to get out of!'
