    Summary

    ART’s MedSystem is top-notch. None of its crew ever complained, right? Nor did the SecUnit it calls its friend.

    It’s not like SecUnit wouldn’t bother to tell it if something was wrong.

    Summary

    This Unit: Where is my owner, Dr. Mensah?

    Dr. Yuen: Well, that’s the million dollar question, isn’t it? SecUnit, where did you last physically interact with Dr. Ayda Mensah?

    Information Retrieval: Dr. Ayda Mensah last interacted with This Unit on Preservation Station at 08:27:22 on 4098-09-17 CRST.

    This Unit: You do not have permission to access that information.

    Dr. Yuen: You’re incorrect, SecUnit. We do. Answer the question.

    (When the infamous rogue SecUnit of the Preservation Alliance gets captured, the corporate techs assigned to it expected to be able to get some juicy data, or at least some insights into its cracked governor module. They didn't expect something so... basic.)

    Summary

    “Perhaps constructs are immune,” Three said and I felt a ripple of fear through my organics. I had said similar to 2.0 right before finding out I was ‘in network'.

    “ART, initiate quarantine protocol,” I said. I hoped it was not too late. I suspected it definitely was.

    Summary

    I could have become a mass murderer after I hacked my governor module, but then I realized that the company supply drops were coming less and less often. It had been well over 35,000 hours since then, with still not much murdering, unless you consider leaving a colony of ten thousand helpless humans to starve to be murder.

    -

    If there had been a SecUnit in the colony, there probably would have been a compelling reason why it had to stay behind on the dying planet.
