Summary
It is with great relief that I exit the wormhole into the home space of the Pan System Alliance. Familiar neutrinos brush against my hull, lighting up my sensor array in a comforting way. I immediately receive three pings from members of my cohort who are in range. I return the pings merely to be polite, but ignore any further initiation of conversation. I am really not in the mood to be interrogated about my recent mishap.

Summary
What was the point?
I was ungoverned, a rogue, I had lived up to their expectations. I was, essentially, left standing with no connections, no goals, no operating parameters, with no one to tell me what to do or where to go but myself. The restlessness surged in my organic parts, and I dropped the camera input.
I think I was angry. Angry at myself, above all, for disabling my governor module instead of letting it kill me.

Summary
I was allowed to interact with home equipment, meaning if I cared to speak to anyone, there were plenty of options:
- Tseyvar Frakes’ personal SecUnit. (I didn’t care to talk to this one, but it did exchange security information with me, which I guess was okay because it improved my performance reliability.)
- HomeHubSystem. (This was an AI Tseyvar put in charge of HubSystem. Do not do this.)
- HomeHubSystem’s maintenance bots. (Recently found out these were autonomous. I hadn’t even checked.)
I did not have permission to speak to:
- Tseyvar Frakes’ FamUnit.
***
Or: A story about how it feels to join an established groupchat.

Summary
“Come on, let’s go. In and out. 20 minute adventure,” Sergeant Yang said convincingly, like I had a say in the matter.
As a GrayCris SecUnit I couldn’t say no or else my governor module would punish me like I was getting shot everywhere all at once. Although that might have been preferable with how risky this mission was, at least I’d come out the other end alive. I should’ve just said “no.”
