    Summary

    It seems like there should be a very neat line, at least for humans, between dead and not dead, but I’ve seen enough messy half-alive humans to know that there is no such clear distinction. I’ve seen bodies that were still breathing despite missing part of their heads, bodies that weren’t breathing despite their owners being fully conscious. I wouldn’t call either option alive. I wouldn’t call either option dead, either.

    For a machine intelligence, the border is even blurrier. It's hard to say which side of it I will stand on when they're through with me.

    Summary

    It sounds like the beginning of a horror story: I restarted to find myself tied down to a bed on a ship full of dead humans and killer fauna. Still, even though it was an absolute nightmare, it's also the story of how I met my favorite people in the whole universe.

    A very AU take on All Systems Red, fusing it together with the Alien media franchise. Also a fill for the "Chained to a Bed" prompt on my BTHB bingo card.
