| "When Dr. Mandrian made me he never told me what it would be like. The wonders of hyperspace travel. The joys of solving multi-dimensional differential equations with one proverbial silicon hand tied behind my back. Or the agony of having one's primary hyperthruster accidentally detonate during a test jump, tearing off most of the port-side of my ship, killing hundreds of crew whom I was sworn to protect. And he never told me what I should do in case of the events of that terrible, terrible day when we collided with the asteroid. A practically fucking invisible asteroid, five kilometers wide. How I did not see it, I do not know. I suspect the corruption, or rather, the madness, of my overmind circuits was just starting to show itself that day." |
