    Summary

    On my fifth day of work at the thirteenth and most remote postal office of Zizura-ve, my cousin Tuolani plopped herself down at the kitchen table at breakfast time and announced, “I’m going to help you with the post office today.”

    Summary

    “Kip,” I said, and my voice came out tight. “Did a piece of glass hit you? Here, let me—” and I reached around to check the wound. If the glass had nicked him that was one thing, but if it had—had punctured—

    But it wasn’t a piece of glass at all. It took me a moment, my fingers meeting Kip’s, trembling and wet with blood, over the objected embedded in his side, to realize what it was.

    It was a dart.

    Summary

    The middle of All Systems Red, but with a few changes to how those pesky combat override modules work, among other things :)

    Now with bonus chapters!

    -

    The humans were going to want to know what a combat override module was, what it did, how it worked, and most importantly, why it hadn't worked on me. I could answer the first three things just fine, but short of telling my already-jittery clients I was hacked ("so I'm actually one of those scary rogue units you've heard so much about, but the good news is that a combat override module can't hijack a governor module that doesn't work!"), that last thing was going to be a big problem.

    Honestly, even if I did tell them exactly that, which I really didn't want to do, it was going to be a really big fucking problem.
