Summary
“I don't remember what I did,” I said, rallying enough to try and sound annoyed, despite the fact I was completely shaken. “So can I go back to my bunk and let you yell at me when I know what you're yelling at me about?”
If you try to leave this room before we have had this discussion, ART said, its voice barely able to stay even, Three will shoot you. Nonlethally. But it will shoot you.
I paused for three whole seconds.
“Okay,” I said.

Uniquely traumatizing experience of being a SecUnit my beloved <3

Summary
I glance at Three using my actual eyes, and I see that it's trying to maintain a good impression of SecUnit neutral, but there's something in its eyes that's pretty close to longing.

Summary
“How the fuck was it not a weapon?” 1.0 demands angrily. “You’d have used it to cause harm.”
“Only to myself. That doesn’t count.”
1.0 stares at me as if I said something completely logically unsound. “Three,” it says with minimal vocal inflection. “What the fuck.”
I cannot determine an appropriate (safe?) response, so I do not respond.

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
The mission fails catastrophically. So does SecUnit. When it comes back online without any functional sensory inputs, it believes that it's still trapped on the surface of the cold, desolate planet, that its humans are all dead, and that nobody will ever find it. Luckily, it's wrong.
