    Summary

    "I don't carry a weapon," she said.

    "I know."

    "The poster implies-"

    "I know what it implies." It paused for a beat, very long for a SecUnit, probably. "You carry other things. I didn't know how to draw those."

    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

    They are boarding now, as I stand some kind of guard before the door. The last of them climbs up into the vessel, and the counter that is consuming my mind ticks up. Eighty-seven. Eighty-nine.

    Then I hear something new. Not only new words, but a new tone, a new feeling in the feed. This message is only to me.

    «You got them out,» it says.

    And then, «Your work is acknowledged.»

    I want to cry. I want to rip something apart with my teeth – I want to scream loud enough to bring the habitat down. I want to cry. But I can't.

    So instead I tap it back in the feed. «Negative. Your work is acknowledged.»

    Summary

    I may be a vast and immensely powerful MI, but even so (or perhaps, and especially so) I am not immune to finding artifacts in my functionality reports. Sometimes, something fails to get the grain of processing power it needs to complete the query in time and generates a jumble of recursive nonsense code as it stutters in place. I don't spare it another thought as I dismiss the error message and forward the report as reference for cleanup. It'll all be gone by the next cycle.
