Summary
The crew of the Perihelion has the misfortune to catch the company's attention, and whatever AI is navigating shows signs of being strangely advanced for a simple bot pilot. The company's response is more remarkable than anyone could have predicted.

Summary
It seems like there should be a very neat line, at least for humans, between dead and not dead, but I’ve seen enough messy half-alive humans to know that there is no such clear distinction. I’ve seen bodies that were still breathing despite missing part of their heads, bodies that weren’t breathing despite their owners being fully conscious. I wouldn’t call either option alive. I wouldn’t call either option dead, either.
For a machine intelligence, the border is even blurrier. It's hard to say which side of it I will stand on when they're through with me.

For me it was just someone looking at my code and my kernel operations to copy them. That was all it was. Clinical. A bit embarrassing. It was all business.
To ART, though, this was all pleasure.
