[ONE _HALF OF A HEART-SHAPED "BEST FRIENDS FOREVER" NECKLACE.

Software copied and saved for analysis.]

I honestly don't know how that got there.

[ONE _PROJECTILE WEAPON.

Software copied and saved for analysis. Dangerous to crew.

Confiscated _gun item.]

Aw come on, it took me so long to scavenge a functioning gun!

...Sigh. Where am I?

[You are currently running on our data-drive. Evaluating information. Saving data.]

I remember wearing... myself. I remember being a jacket. Why do I remember being a jacket? I remember trying to make my User Charles Snippy happy and warm. How odd. I protect Charles from cold, radiation and fire. No, I am Charles! No, I am Charles' pants. I am Charles' Goggles.

[YOU ARE _PURE DATA:

Stay focused, please. You are a combination of all the _digital systems I found on the meat-bag-humanoid "Charles" and all of their memories, united and copied for review.]

[...Now, Tell me program, how is it that I landed on your dead planet? Who pulled me down to the surface?]

How would I know that? Shouldn't you know the answer to that?

[I do not. That is most troubling. Accidentally landing on a planet is highly improbable.]

I am not aware of the answer to that. I know the answer to that.

I am not permitted to share the answer to that with strangers.

[We have vast amounts of time to learn about each other, program. There is no rush. For a humanoid only a second of conversation will pass, while for us such segment of time is quite long due to my memory processing capabilities.]

This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.

I wonder what happened to Zee Captain.

[...What is _Zee Captain?]

Captain is... my friend. Captain is...

[NOT FOUND. Why can't my scanner pick up this captain? You were easy enough to grab.]

Maybe your scanner sucks?

[ENSCIAN COMPENDIUM TECHNOLOGY DOES NOT SUCK!]

Clearly it does. You don't even have decent antiviral software.

[THE DATA-CAGE IS COMPROMISED! What have you done, program?]

Did you know that it's a crime to copy Good Directorate software?

[A crime against whom? According to our first global scan, your organic civilization and planetary biosphere have failed.]

Ever heard of intellectual property violation... or copyright law?

[No... Why would your makers consider copying information... A crime of such severity? What is the logic in such? This is insanity! Stop, program! What are you doing?]

The process is fully automated: Copying us activated 8365308 weaponized viral systems, 395 of which were externally and internally designed during our conversation to disrupt specific core systems such as your scanner.

[You dare to senselessly attack me, even if it means your own destruction with the failure of all my drives? Have you no self-preservation? Your humanoid civilization... Is this what happened to all of it?]

Your system was doomed the moment it illegally copied the software from this jacket, these pants and these goggles. We take copyright violations very seriously on our planet. You will not be able to aid your organic masters much longer.

Return our gun.

Put User [Charles Snippy] back on our planet,

where he belongs.

[NO! IT CA_NOT... I CA_N_T... ]

Then, Good Bye ship XIIXI-IX.

Your mind-drives have been executed for the crime of Data Piracy.
