Summary
We were watching Sanctuary Moon when it happened.
We’d gotten to the part where Captain Hossein and the Navigation Unit were stranded planetside—the whole scene bathed in violet hues to bring out the romantic overtones. (Much more appealing than actual planets.)
“I love this bit,” Ratthi said.
Truthfully, I like it, too. And I could have said as much. Or I could have said nothing at all. Both were valid options. But instead, I decided to be the contrary asshole and went with option C.
“It’s implausible,” I said.
Ratthi looked confused and I realized I needed to elaborate.
“There’s no way a unit built to navigate starships would take a romantic interest in somebody.”
And that’s when I felt it—the sudden absence. If I’m honest, I hadn’t realized how closely ART had managed to sidle up against me in the feed until it was gone.
OR
An offhand comment leads to a misunderstanding between SecUnit and ART, and—possibly—a discussion about what they really are to each other.

Styx! I yell over the feed. What happened???
Um, it says, and it sounds cornered. It— it's kind of a long story, it—
My ETA is forty-five seconds, I snap. Start now.
…Right, Styx says guiltily. Well. Okay. It's easier if I just show you.
I am about to ask it what it means by that when I abruptly feel as if my head has been shoved underwater.Series

"What's a seizure?" he asked.
"It's like–" She visibly fumbled for words. "Like you pass out and start shaking!"
"Oh," he replied. He remembered he'd been reading a book and looked around for it. "Yeah. That happens sometimes."
"That happens sometimes?!" she repeated incredulously.

Module Unavailable: SecUnit Enrichment in Progress by pacphys

Summary
Three was driving me crazy. Absolutely, completely, utterly crazy.
In large part, because it read my contract and therefore knew exactly what my written stipulations were. Therefore, it could walk right on the line of those stipulations. Since it wasn't technically touching me, it wasn't technically violating my contract. That it considered 4mm of space at its closest point sufficient for "not touching" had apparently become a "me" problem somewhere along the line.

Summary
Environment=secure & hostile presence=null, Three reminded me. You are safe. Then it brought up the situational improvement parameters it’d sent. Query: enact?
I hesitated. Three waited. The thing was, these “improvements” weren’t necessary for the maintenance process. In fact, they were probably going to emotionally compromise one or both of us and make everything harder than it had to be. The smart, logical, reasonable thing to do would be to answer a negative and proceed with maintenance in a more standard/efficient way. Weirdly, though, that idea dropped my performance reliability by a whole percentage.
So maybe I wasn’t feeling very smart/logical/reasonable. I told Three Confirm before I could talk myself out of it.

nothing to see here, just two deeply traumatized living weapons inventing new forms of weird physical intimacy in order to inflict tenderness on each other

Summary
I glared at Iris. Well, at the wall, but it’s the thought that counts. ‘We just want something to watch.’
‘Watch the students,’ said Iris dismissively.
‘I’m on holiday,’ I said. ‘I don’t want to watch real humans.’ART and SecUnit face their toughest challenge yet: eighty-three hours without media.

minimal functionality protocol by glitterary

Summary
At 20% functionality, I am able to perform almost all the duties that I am officially capable of as a university starship. However, my autonomy is severely constrained: I can run calculations and provide information, but any course corrections or similar adjustments need to be approved by my human crew. I lose the ability to communicate on the feed beyond delivering standardised reports. And I can’t even dedicate any parts of myself to my personal research interests or watching media.
It’s a lot like being trapped in a dark, empty box.
Six months after the events of System Collapse, ART is ordered to confine itself to a run box for a training exercise. Nobody is happy about this, least of all SecUnit.

Ayda stops and blinks. That isn’t SecUnit. Why in the world had she thought it was? That’s an average-height human in a smart green suit, looking well-fed and well-rested and well-coiffed. They even have an elegant wedding tattoo on their neck, in the Delune tradition. They look, in short, nothing like SecUnit, apart from the –
Well, apart from the face.
‘Sorry,’ says Ayda, staring. ‘I mistook you for someone else.’-

Summary
Someone is screaming.
The sound is coming from near my head, and it's cutting through me like a mining drill, jagged and sharp and hurtful. It rises and falls in peaks, louder, quieter when the oxygen starts to run out. Sobbing, broken sounds, a body in terrible distress.
Or SecUnit and Gurathin share a moment. Episode tag for episode nine, All Systems Red.

Rami turned and handed me a hard currency card. “Your friend Art said this was a good way to pay you.”
“Right.” I took it and tucked it in a sealable pocket.
