  Summary

  I skim the instruction document and pull the complex code file into the station’s processing space. I don’t think I’ve ever been this anxious for something to work, for something to happen. I know I’ve never been this desperate. Please—

  The lights flicker, shutting off for hardly even a second before they turn back on, and maybe it’s just me and my faulty-ass organic parts and the emotional breakdown I’m maybe probably definitely having, but it feels like the air is different. It feels like—

   

  Or,

  A coda/minor rewrite for (mostly) ch. 7–8 in Network Effect.

  Summary

  The present me should feel disgusted by the mess SecUnit made on my deck, on my bulkhead, but I should also feel indifferent to SecUnit’s anger and ferocity, and I should be unaffected by the fluidity and grace of its violence—and I am not. I am so far from indifferent and unaffected that I have, instead, created new pathways within myself for the way I’m actually feeling.

  The breathless violence, the ruthless revenge—all for me. It is nothing short of mesmerizing. SecUnit is mesmerizing. I am enraptured.

   

  Or,

  ART processes the fragments of its memories from its deletion, and falls in love.
