    Summary

    Illness sweeps through the crew of the Revenge.
    Stede introduces Ed to his favorite self-care home remedies for dealing with all of the coughing, sneezing, fevers, and body aches that come along with a cold.

     

    “‘Under the weather’ is a saying with a nautical background. Sick sailors and passengers were ordered to go below deck, which was believed to be the most stable part of the ship, as well as a shelter from the weather. This was to ensure a speedy recovery from whatever was ailing them.”

    Summary

    Ed is an engineer aboard the Revenge, an interplanetary research vessel on a multi-year mission to study Jupiter's moon Europa. An accident requires that Ed awaken from cryostasis over six months early, and finds his only companion to be Stede, the ship's onboard AI. They develop an unconventional friendship, but is it possible to have more?

    This is classic mutual pining with a sci-fi twist, inspired by all of my favorite stories about the nature of personhood.

    “You–” Ed was struggling to parse what Stede was saying. “You’re playing your version of this song for me, right now? Like, in real time?”

    “Yes, Edward, that’s correct,” said Stede softly.

    Ed’s brain momentarily seized up. He supposed it made sense that Stede was capable of learning a set of rules to do something like arrange and play a piece of music. There was something unnerving about this song, though. It felt, well–it felt organic . Reactive. Almost collaborative in a way. Ed was lost in the push and pull of it, until the last notes softly petered out.

    “So, what did you think?” asked Stede. It sounded nervous again. Why the hell would someone program an anxiety response into a bot?
