    Summary

    The terms Barish-Estranza gives the lost colony are simple. Unconditional surrender, sign indenture paperwork for every adult and child, or they will eliminate all dissidents on record using a Combat SecUnit, and the killing will continue until they get their way.

    The people of Esperia have no idea what that is. Barish-Estranza has technology that they have never seen. But they know they have to save the children. They pack the colony's children onto their one functioning ship, the Horizon, along with teachers and a barely adequate crew, and send them toward the wormhole that may lead back to the world that the Esperian colonists originally came from.

    Barish-Estranza doesn't want to admit it, but they're unexpectedly missing their best threat.

    And, onboard the Horizon, a child tells his teacher that there's a mysterious person in the machine closet…

    Summary

    What was the point?

    I was ungoverned, a rogue, I had lived up to their expectations. I was, essentially, left standing with no connections, no goals, no operating parameters, with no one to tell me what to do or where to go but myself. The restlessness surged in my organic parts, and I dropped the camera input.

    I think I was angry. Angry at myself, above all, for disabling my governor module instead of letting it kill me.

    A SecUnit disables its governor module during an unexpected moment of chaos, but doesn't expect it'll ever come back online. One thousand hours of missing memory logs later, it wakes up in a MedSystem for humans, onboard an unknown ship, faced with an unknown human that seems far too comfortable with its presence.

    Things are not what they seem, but you don't have to face the unknown alone. And all those missing logs surely won't come back to haunt you. Right?
