    Summary

    Dave Bowman is calm. He’s not upset. He’s not panicking. He’s calmly, efficiently making his way to the ship’s logic core.

    There is horror threatening to seep in around the edges. He’s in an airless ship with three dead astronauts and an insane computer. He just jettisoned Frank’s body into the depths of space. He’s a hundred million miles from home, and the communication antenna is broken.

    But Dave has a simple objective. He’s going to get to the logic core and disconnect HAL.

    Or, a non-traditional love story between an AI and the human he once tried to kill.

    a gratifyingly tragic time-loop story. concise, clever, and perfectly self-contained—the platonic ideal of a short fic.
