    Summary

    Teacher waves critically around her own face. “What’s with this?” 

    Ed groans. “There was a bicycle.” 

    “A bicycle?” 

    “And a lamppost.” 

    “A lamppost.” 

    “A lady on a bicycle knocked me into a lamppost.” 

    “That’s all?” 

    “Yeah?” 

    “So it’s nothing to do with this?” 

    She rifles through the mail to hold up a magazine, where Ed is knee-deep in a fancy fishpond, the Cretan ambassador’s kid in one hand and a jaguar in the other, and the headline is DARLING DIPLOMACY: WAR MINISTER’S BEAU SAVES CRETAN TOT!

    Summary

    Perihelion's presence bears down on me in the feed. I do not think that it can read my mind, but it feels like it is trying to. I am bleeding something into the feed, but I do not know what. I am being scrutinized, picked apart, ogled.

    What?

    All of my organics feel tense. I… want to watch the videos you gave me.

    Do you require my permission to do so?

    No.

    Then watch them.

    Summary

    It is dusk, during the mild early nights of the fallow season, and we— 1.0 and I— are playing Keep Away with the Mensah children when 1.0 abruptly utters, "This unit's critical components have reached their designated life expectancy," and drops like a stone.

    Then it says, "WHAT THE FUCK."

    Three has to hit the reset switch on a forced-obsolescence process. The switch is in an extremely inconvenient place inside Murderbot. Like, wrist-deep.

    Three is feeling so normal about this. It is. It is.
