   Summary

   Finally, I am able to hail the shuttle. Tarik. What happened?

   Tarik replied “we’re coming back. You need to prep the med bay. Iris has been shot. She's stable now but needs medical attention. Sec Unit stayed planet side to allow us to escape. Peri I'm sorry. It wouldn't listen to us. It locked the door and told us to take off without it. I'm sorry”

   My processors threatened to stall. Sec Unit was still down there?

   Tarik, WHAT happened? I asked again

   _________________________________________

   Sec Unit is badly hurt on a mission and ART isn't sure if it can repair it this time. Its humans have all given up and ART is alone in believing that it will come out of this. After all, it promised to see the new World Hoppers movie with it, together.
