    Summary

    When malware takes over SecUnit and it nearly kills three of ART's crew, ART is left with two bad options: keep the governor module on with ART as the Client, or partition off part of itself and stick it in SecUnit's head.

    Whichever option they choose, they had better make it work, because SecUnit is firmly centered in the crosshairs of its former owner, the most paranoid and ruthless company in the entire corporation rim. As things quickly get worse, destroying the company--something SecUnit has long considered impossible--might just be the only way to survive.

    "ART? Why do you want me to run a recursive code?"

    I was hoping to see if you reacted to it differently than I do.

    Summary

    "I wont deny I've got in my mind now all the things I would do, So I try to talk refined for fear that you find out how I’m imagining you." - Hozier, Talk

    ART wants to be prepared for every eventuality. Especially the eventualities that involve SecUnit willingly getting back into its MedBay. It has started simulating surgical protocols, making sure its medical programs align with SecUnit's physiology, so that when the time comes to perform certain operations, the chances of success will be at a maximum.

    No other reason.

    Summary

    You think you can deal with it if you leave knowing you've reassured your mate, though.

    "And you'll remain with me," you cannot help but tease, "Who knows? Maybe if we think really hard about each other tonight, I can see you in my dreams."

    An odd expression passes over your mate's face. It's there and gone before you blink, and it melts down into a chuckle that makes your finer hairs lift on end. "Perhaps," he murmurs, "you will get lucky tonight, beloved."

    You haven't missed a single day of visits since the Fire Seal. Now, you're missing three.

    As it turns out, you're not the only one feeling your absence.
