    Summary

    Perihelion leans on both of us in the feed, and I keep my eyes on 1.0's hands, transfixed by the way they're managing to be gentle and exacting at the same time. It knows every seam in the drone's casing, every latch to undo, every screw to unwind. Under its ministrations the drone is coming apart in pieces, and honestly, I sympathize.

    I am just very happy.

    I know. And it does, because it has the data to back it up. Two seconds later, it pushes some of its own emotional data at me, and I smile because that's concrete proof that 1.0 is happy as well.

    Summary

    DISTANCE LIMIT EXCEEDED

    TERMINATING

    I waited two seconds, three, five. Nothing happened. The alert kept flashing in my systems but there was no sudden blinding pain, no sensory blackout, no shutdown.

    After about ten seconds, there was a rush of chemicals to my neural tissue. My organic skin was prickling with sweat and adrenaline made me want to twitch, but my performance reliability had ticked up a couple of points.

    It felt … good. I was relieved, but there was something else, something like satisfaction. Something like winning.

    There sat the monster that lived in my head, defanged and immobile. Powerless. It could scream at me all it wanted, I didn’t have to listen to it.

    I would never listen to it again.

    I rolled my eyes internally. Yes. It’s trying to kill me. It can’t, though./

    I mean, I totally did think about going on a murderous rampage, stealing a ship and running away forever. But that would’ve been stupid.

    Summary

    All that to say when ART pings me deep into the humans' rest period and tells me to check on Three, I'm only a little surprised to see Three sitting outside the door of my cabin with its back against the wall and its arms wrapped around its knees.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    The whole thing is pretty comfortable. Three is a pleasing weight on top of me, and ART's presence is familiar and welcome. It feels kind of like none of the bad shit lurking in our minds or outside of them can get us here, when we're together like this. ART would vaporize the fuck out of anyone who tried for one thing, and there's not much I wouldn't do to keep Three safe if it came down to it. Judging by how fierce it gets during missions sometimes when I end up getting shot or knocked off cliffs or whatever other dumb shit, I think Three feels the same.

    Tula nodded, and declared, "I'm going to be a security consultant when I grow up." She tucked her hand into mine and tugged me along the path
