    Summary

    In a shockingly accurate imitation of the voice ART uses to talk to humans, Iris intoned, “The vacation protocol is now in effect.”

    "You know other gunships?"

    Summary

    ART wants me to punch it in the face? It made itself an entire human-form drone so I can punch it in the face? Why?

    You want me to punch you in the face. I don’t say it as a question, but it’s a question.

    No, you want to punch me in the face. It sounds… happy? Proud of itself? Risk assessment spikes a little higher. I’m just offering you a chance to try. That is, if you think you can manage it.

    Hell yeah, I think I can manage it.

    Summary

    Perihelion has been working on this plan for longer than it would ever be willing to admit. It's had the drone finished for months, waiting for the right moment to deploy it. (It definitely hasn't just been chickening out and avoiding the conversation. That would be foolish). But now the plan has worked exactly as it was designed to do, and it's not ready. Maybe it will never be ready. But its SecUnit is holding its drone's hand so gently, and has just asked it

    ART, are you in love with me?

    It's too late to back out now.

    Yes

    Fear is an autonomic process.

    Summary

    Planets are dumb and dangerous, but at this point I'd argued— okay, more like complained— complargued so many times that nobody except ART was still willing to argufy back.

    (That stands for argue-pacify, in case it isn't obvious. I think it's not obvious. And no, I hadn't forgiven ART yet for saying I needed pacifying.)

    Anyway, I was currently complarguing from my seat in the back of the snow-capable bot-driven transport heading out to the middle of nowhere, so I had the sneaking suspicion I'd lost the fight.

    Murderbot accompanies its humans on a winter vacation. Then the storm hits.
