    Summary

    One of Mensah's children wants to read aloud to SecUnit from a chapter book. What's the worst that could happen?

    Summary

    I come back from the dead.

    Something happened. Something happened just now— I came back from the dead, yes, I know, I'm not talking about this, something before that— beyond, even, there was a recognition, a realization, somehow much more important than the hostiles I am currently grinding to dust on my deck, more important, even, than SecUnit's humans with their raised hands and SecUnit with its raised voice and myself, raised from my grave. What was it?

    "What's going on?" I ask futilely, my voice distorting through the speakers. SecUnit's humans jump, startled. "What the fuck is going on—"

    Summary

    Seth side-eyed Iris, then snorted a laugh when she made a talking motion with her hand. “Uh huh.”

    « Iris, I saw that. My point is, it is frankly insulting that you immediately assume I did something bad— »

    “Peri broke protocol on its last cargo run,” Iris interrupted loudly.

    --

    Or, Seth finds out that the surprises never end when your kid is a giant homicidal starship.

    Summary

    SecUnit is trapped in a time loop, and has to rely on its organic neurons to find a way out. Its leading theory, that this is all due to an intense quasi-political fight between universities, is starting to look like a dead end. The loops might be changing.

    And ART won’t stop asking, So, how many secrets have you managed to pry out of me?
