    Summary

    “Is my face doing too much or too little?” Gurathin asked.

    Gurathin sounding amused and a little smug about something was not new, but I preferred to know what caused it, especially when what had caused it was probably me.

    Summary

    She opened her mouth to speak.
    Don’t, said Peri. She shut her mouth. SecUnit is fine.
    Iris hesitated. It doesn't look fine.
    SecUnit is experiencing an emotion. I have it under control. You don't need to stay.
    But…
    Apologies, Iris. You would only make it worse.

    Summary

    The humans are looking at me, and they are afraid. I am used to humans looking at me and being afraid. It has never bothered me before. I think it does now.

    I do not know what to say, so I do not say anything. I turn and follow 1.0.

    Summary

    “I had a what?” I tried to say. “Couldn’t notable sample table?” I said instead.

    “It looked like a seizure,” Ratthi said, finally, thankfully looking away. “Can constructs have seizures?”

    Three hesitated. “I have no idea.”

    Summary

    “I don't remember what I did,” I said, rallying enough to try and sound annoyed, despite the fact I was completely shaken. “So can I go back to my bunk and let you yell at me when I know what you're yelling at me about?”

    If you try to leave this room before we have had this discussion, ART said, its voice barely able to stay even, Three will shoot you. Nonlethally. But it will shoot you.

    I paused for three whole seconds.

    “Okay,” I said.

    Summary

    Amena calls SecUnit to check up on it. This triggers a lot of feelings for it.


    Love? I did have people I love. Dr. Mensah, and Ratthi, and Amena. And I really really liked Baradwaj and Overse and Arada. And I liked Pin-Lee and Volescu. And I didn’t like Gurathin but I’d still kill anybody who tried to kill him. I liked ART’s crew. And I like ART. I think. I mean, it’s a giant asshole of a research transport, I’m not joking when I call it that, even its humans agree. But it’s my giant asshole research transport. And yeah maybe I’d had a prolonged emotional collapse when I had thought it was dead and killed the shit out of the targets partially responsible for it, but we’d already been over that, and I know that Amena has told ART all about it. But love?

    Did I love ART?

    Summary

    Rich people are intensely annoying, this one more than most.

    But what the hell is with their naming conventions?

    And why can’t they do anything normally?

    Except die. Every human does that the same.

    Summary

    The alien remnant contamination did far more damage to Perihelion's wormhole drive than anyone had initially realized, and the PSUMNT researchers are at a loss with how to solve the problem. But SecUnit and its Preservation humans have seen “super fast organic wormhole drives” before. With the reluctant permission of Perihelion's crew, a distress call is sent to Trellin, and three scientist teams, two sentient research transports, and one SecUnit convene to figure out how (and whether) ART can get its wings back.

    Set after System Collapse. Updates Wed/Fri/Sun.

    Summary

    My performance tanked so fast I lost multiple processes at once. Had to drop the security feed for the ship’s main corridors and episode 206 of The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon. I double-checked the log: "I’ve always felt you’re more than just a bodyguard. But I was scared of messing up what we’ve got". Yes, ART just said that.

    or

    ART suddenly started flirting on a mission.

    Summary

    (I had a bit of a moment there, but I think I deserved it. The governor module, as ever, disagreed and its warning zap had me reviewing the last few seconds of video to formulate a reply before the pain set in.)

    Summary

    Производительность падает настолько неожиданно, что отваливаются сразу несколько процессов. Приходится экстренно свернуть канал наблюдения за ключевыми для безопасности коридорами корабля и 206 серию "Лунного заповедника". Я проверил лог: «Я всегда чувствовал, что ты больше, чем просто телохранитель. Но я боялся разрушить то, что у нас есть», — да, ГИК действительно выдал это.

    Summary

    Ratthi wants to talk to it.

    It doesn’t mind, but it’s worried it’s done something wrong.

    It didn’t expect this.

    It didn’t know anyone could understand.
