    Summary

    They looked so happy as they laughed, their voices twisting together into a beautiful symphony of friendship. Rocket was laughing with them, his head thrown back and his ringed tail lashing. He looked happy. He looked happier than he had ever been when they shared a cage together.
    Floor watched them through the thin slats of the vent grate. There was longing in her chest, throbbing like a dull ache right beneath her scar. Distantly, she wondered just how bad it would be to try and join them.

    ____________
    In which Floor managed to survive when the High Evolutionary shot her. She learned how to use her size to slip into small spaces, eventually escaping and surviving by hiding in the walls of ships. Eventually the ship she is hiding in is bought by a new crew... or, rather, an old friend.
    Drax is convinced that their new ship is haunted. Mantis agrees. Nebula thinks they're both idiots, Groot doesn't believe in ghosts, and Quill thinks a ghost would do worse things than fix their ship. Rocket just wants to get this mission done with so he can get back to a proper ship that doesn't sound like there's something living in the walls.

    Summary

    I got to thinking about AIs and how you'd create them and what could go wrong ... and starting wondering whether the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland were actually the good guys they seem to be. This is the result, I hope you enjoy it.
