    Summary

    It sounds like the beginning of a horror story: I restarted to find myself tied down to a bed on a ship full of dead humans and killer fauna. Still, even though it was an absolute nightmare, it's also the story of how I met my favorite people in the whole universe.

    A very AU take on All Systems Red, fusing it together with the Alien media franchise. Also a fill for the "Chained to a Bed" prompt on my BTHB bingo card.

    Summary

    “We’re from the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland. I’m Seth, the captain of this ship. This is Martyn, my number one.”

    Martyn squeezed Captain Seth’s shoulder. “Our work with the university frequently takes us into situations where … where a SecUnit would be beneficial.”

    That sounded bad. It also sounded like —

    “And so we bought your contract,” said Martyn.

    Yeah.

    That.

    Summary

    - Babysitting hardly ever involves an actual baby
    - You are not supposed to sit on the “baby”
    - No, not even if that would be tactically expedient

     

    Three times SecUnit plays babysitter (plus one time that’s not what happens).

    Summary

    I pull close to it in the feed, and say, “You were lucky.”

    The rogue SecUnit reacts, physically and in the feed. It sits bolt upright, and a wave of fear ripples off of it like a [cloud of micro-debris], or like an [emergency evasive maneuver that grinds a planet’s upper atmosphere]. It’s unpleasant. It’s unfamiliar. I capture the data, store it, and start chewing on it immediately.
