    Summary

    Going through the report has his brain gears steaming. It's a lot. Logs of vessel depth, design and composition (iron mostly, with the other metal trappings of a human design with electrical cables), radiation output and source (x-ray and a buttload of it!), readings and scans of the biomass enveloping the vessel (a tree, of all things). More blood readings because the thing was utterly flooded with the stuff (same composition as the sample he coughed out, lovely to know and think about), and the final logs of the containment and quarantining of the vessel inside the Blip-A.

    The team was coming back home to Erid, and in double time. Because Grace gets to the important part of the report. Perhaps the single most important one since he arrived on Erid.

    They found another human inside the vessel.

    Ever wondered what would happen if Simon brought along The Horrors™ with him into the PHMverse? Well, wonder no more! (It gets defeated by the power of friendship and altruistic science, is what happens. Please set your expectations to comical absurdism and have a good ride!)

    Summary

    Retracting my weapons, I made to step back around the bend in the corridor, but in that infuriating way humans often did, the pilot turned around just as I was moving out of view.

    Fuck.

    Fuck. ART said in the feed.

    “BT…” the pilot breathed, “What the hell was that?”

    Termitis849 Commented;

    Okay, I can’t tell if this is two equally neurotic Lacey stans, or one guy roleplaying his dissertation defense in a half-dead Medcenter Argala forum.
    edit; did NOT realize the MCA fandom was still active, my bad.
    edit edit; I GET IT. THE SHOW IS POPULAR. PLEASE STOP COMMENTING ON MY POSTS.

     

    Or; Murderbot and ART have a minor disagreement over some media.

    Summary

    Both the university and its crew agree - Perihelion is a good person, regardless of its capabilities for destruction. If asked, PresAux would also confirm, albeit their interpretation might differ.

    Murderbot trusts it too, of course. Granted, ART doesn't think it would call it "good", but it knows it and it trusts it to do what is right, which is all ART really cares about (and what is "good" anyway but a human concept?).

    Or, musings on the dangers posed by Perihelion inspired by two little book quotes.
