I was afraid they'd realize I'd hacked my governor module, that I wasn't just an obedient machine. But. I never minded small spaces. There were times when I'd be shipped with cargo, and that was the most relaxing of all, because I didn't have to act like anything. I could just relax and watch my serials."
