    Summary

    It was only now that I’ve started to look back at some of my logs from… let’s call it when the Shit Hit The Fan. It’s pretty painful to look back on the logs of that clusterfuck, because 1. I'd been a gigantic asshole and 2. I'd had a very public physical and emotional meltdown.

    I said, trying to sound lighthearted and not really succeeding, “I’d like medical clearance to go join the ground team?”

    Agenda:
    1. Rogue machine intelligence coalition building
    2. Avoid alien remnant (re)infection
    3. Endure some excruciating conversations

    *

    Silly tags to spare the wrangler:
    #i <3 NULLverse AU my legitimately fucked up weirdo darling child #my other honor student is a hacked agriculture bot #buying a used car but the used car is your shared custody killer offspring uploaded into expensive critical infrastructure contaminated with mysterious alien protocols #while you reluctantly relationships-counsel each other in the wake of mutual murder attempts #and your new neighbors are watching all this unfold with professional interest #get treasured IDIOTS

    Summary

    When malware takes over SecUnit and it nearly kills three of ART's crew, ART is left with two bad options: keep the governor module on with ART as the Client, or partition off part of itself and stick it in SecUnit's head.

    Summary

    While Eletra opened the hatch with the feed control and they sorted through the clothes, I checked my inputs for the others: Arada and Overse had stopped in the corridor that went toward the engineering module. Arada hugged Overse, and Overse kissed her and said into her ear, "You can do this, babe. You're a bulkhead."

    "I'm a wibbly bulkhead," Arada muttered.

    (The wibbliness was why I trusted Arada. Overconfident humans who don't listen to anybody else scare the hell out of me.)

    Arada stepped back and smiled at Overse. "Got to get to work."

    Or, what Arada and Overse were thinking in that corridor.

    It has been a while since things have drastically changed. But maybe something new needs to happen. Maybe something different will be good.

    Summary

    I asked, What are you feeling so good about?

    I was expecting it to suddenly be aware that it wasn’t being snarky, and start being snarky. Instead, it just said, That feels nice.
