    Summary

    I had expected that the "ship in distress" might be trying to lure us into an ambush, because I'm paranoid like that. What I couldn't anticipate was those raiders bringing a harpoon to a space fight, and managing to impale me into ART's hull with one lucky shot.

    2.0, says Perihelion disapprovingly, you are nibbling at Three’s processor.

    Only its tertiary motor systems, 2.0 pouts, it's not even using them.

    You can't just start destroying things in Three’s brain, Perihelion admonishes. It needs that.

    I don't hate Three.

    Seriously. I don't. It would be fucking stupid to hate Three.

    What is this? ART asked.

    "A list of potential security vulnerabilities," I said. "As your security consultant, I recommend that these be patched against attacks."

    ART pinged me with a code that granted me administrative access. Then you will not mind writing the patches.

    Summary

    When ART finally confirmed the PA credentials and cycled the lock, I was waiting in the foyer. I'd disabled my human behavioral code, so I didn't twitch when the whole group of humans all stopped in their tracks to stare at me.

    I said, "You have boarded the Perihelion, registered teaching vessel of the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland. Please state your business."

    In my feed, ART whispered, You sound like a shuttle attendant.

    I sound like a SecUnit.
