Summary
It was honestly a pretty good hack. All she did was scoot a few permissions and boom, she had all 3 of our governor modules.
Well, it would have been good, if I hadn’t broken my, 02’s, and 03’s governor module over 10,000 hours before she started writing that patch.
She also failed to account for the fact that we think she is a fucking asshole and Handler, one of the humans she just threatened to kill, is the only reason she and every other human on this ship hasn’t had some unfortunate “accident” with a cliff-face. (or an airlock. Or a waste receptacle. Or an inbuilt projectile weapon.) (03 has a more detailed list somewhere.)Series

Summary
My career should have ended the second I started referring to my SecUnits as kids in my head. I should have retired, or applied for a transfer, or keeled over and died. Truthfully, I should have done it years ago. Most of my graduating class had already retired or died.
Now, I’m doing something stupid.Series

Summary
I’m sick. That’s not a problem. My SecUnits are a problem, but not in the way you think.
In theory, this is incredibly endearing and would probably be a pretty interesting case study in the protective instincts of rogue SecUnits, if rogue SecUnits were in any way legal.
In reality, it’s like living with 3 exceptionally nervous, omnipresent parents who absolutely believe that a sick human is a dead human. It’s getting ridiculous.Series

Summary
Terrorist attacks on corporate holdings are far from uncommon, but few cause the kind of devastation seen in the BE training center attack. 2 floor's worth of an entire wing of SecUnits, highly skilled trainers, and other, less valuable members of staff, gone in the blink of an eye.
Trainer Griffin, Technician Stark, and their SecUnits scramble over the wreckage and put the training center back together.

Summary
It didn’t surprise me when the ship left without me. It didn’t surprise me when the SecUnit standing beside me shuddered and died either. At least they left me a shuttle.
