In December 2021, [[Prime Universe]] time, while trying to enjoy a vacation, Smith and [[Briar]] became embroiled in the conflict between multiple species and factions of cyborgs competing for the right to be dubbed [[Supreme Cyborg]] by [[Cybele#In the Prime Universe|Cybele]]. They ran into them at the [[Multiversal Waffle House]], the [[Interdimensional Gift Shop]] and even the “[[Gnome Place]]”, which they only visited by accident in the first place. Realising the cyborgs were a threat wherever they went, they tried to beat one group of them to their apparent destination, [[the Frost King's Realm]]. Arriving before the cyborgs' ship landed, they borrowed a [[striberu]]-pulled sleigh and headed for the village. On the way, they met [[CS-NA]], whom Smith recognised as a [[Subcinctus|Subcinctan]] robot, the first human CS-NA had ever encountered who understood his [[Subcinctan Audial Code]]. | In December 2021, [[Prime Universe]] time, while trying to enjoy a vacation, Smith and [[Briar]] became embroiled in the conflict between multiple species and factions of cyborgs competing for the right to be dubbed [[Supreme Cyborg]] by [[Cybele#In the Prime Universe|Cybele]].

Arriving in the village, they witnessed the arrival of the [[Mecharon]]s; showing himself to make a stand, Smith was shot by one of their energy weapons, although it proved ill-adapted to human biology, only knocking him back and making him taste gingerbread. Scrambling to hide, Smith and Briar tried to evade capture by the Mecharon squad but were eventually caught, with the Mecharon commander ordering them converted into Mecharons themselves. However, CS-NA managed to force all the Mecharons to go into hibernation mode and retreat to their ships by hacking into their own comms frequencies, saving the two humans. Smith ruled that now that the village was saved and the Mecharons they'd been chasing were defeated, he and Briar could move on with their holiday fun; he offered CS-NA the chance to join them, but CS-NA, being on a wider mission of his own, declined.

The two met up with [[Lord Nachtos]] once again, and told him about the Mecharons, much to his amusement. However, even as they received an invitation from CS-NA to join him in the [[Cupid Homeworld]] for the Christmas party he had organised, they found that Smith's earlier optimism had been misplaced, as they ended up having to fight [[Detraxxi]] in the skies of [[Tetrayon-Twelve]]. Smith and Briar instead sent Nachtos to the Homeworld with their recommendation. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Winter Quests (novel)|The Winter Quests]]'') | |||
