   Summary

   I’d locked eyes with Mensah, looking like that. My energy weapons had deployed, without my awareness or direction. My targeting systems had identified her and Bharadwaj, quite insistently, as direct and immediate threats.

   Maybe this is just a temporary, dangerous, system glitch, and a hard restart will fix me. I’ll just restart, comb through my code, do some debugging, find the corrupted files or whatever, and then I won’t indiscriminately murder my most trusted humans.

   I should know by now to always assume the worst.

   In which SecUnit is having some survival threat…response errors. And some…’targeting its humans’ malfunctions. And some…blackouts when restarting. I’m sure it’s fine.

   Summary

   Dr. Gurathin is a company technician who works alone on the SecUnits who have problems a cubicle can't fix. It gives him a lot of time to fuck around with them, and this time, to find out. Although perhaps not in that order.
