Sunset & Evening Star, chapter 31: Liminal Space
Oh yeah, I posted a new chapter! In which EDI finally gets the mobile platform, Vega wants to get his ass kicked, and I explore what you might actually use a stealth ship for when fighting an enemy like the reapers.
EDI started using her new platform to help the A-gangers. Anything involving the ship’s software she could do more easily without the mobile platform, but exploring the crawlways and physical machinery was new to her. For their part, the engineers were more than happy to let her experience the novelty of heavy lifting.
Unsurprisingly, the crew started referring to the body as EDI, “As if I am the mobile platform, and only use the ship’s systems for comms.”
That lasted until Donnelly made a comment about the platform’s ass once it had left the room. EDI immediately responded with comments about his ass, her voice coming from a speaker near his elbow.
“He jumped about a foot in the air,” Gabby cackled, describing it. “She used slang. And precise dimensions.”
This one was tough to write — I thought a verbal montage would be easy; I was wrong — but IT EXISTS! Many, many thanks to @swaps55 for helping save it from the rubbish heap.
