Computer updates are simple, right? That’s not always the case when it involves a Spaceship’s AI in the middle of deep space. We have always relied upon technology to travel through space, but sometimes that very same technology develops a mind of its own...   *        *       * Rachel, a junior assistant in the Cargo Bay, wasn’t prepared for the spaceship’s AI to gain awareness during what should have been a routine update, nor had anyone expected it to take exception to the crew and the crates of illegal cargo aboard. Rachel races against time to try and get life-saving systems back online while stranded in the middle of deep space. Unfortunately for her, the AI can access every system, door, and airlock. As truths emerge, the AI realizes that even computers can make miscalculations, and it focuses on the young woman who had dared to confront it. *   *   * I am currently in the process of polishing this story for Amazon.The rough draft will remain free on several sites such as Royal Road, Inkitt, etc.
