War Stories

They traveled. They rested. They refueled when necessary. They fought off intruders.

The Seed Ships were as aware of Destiny's mission as Destiny herself. Their purpose was to scout out the universe, to pave her way, to do all the tedious hard work, to clear a path for the passengers she would eventually harbor.

Destiny was never supposed to meet a Seed Ship, although she communicated with all of them via subspace links. Many of them had fallen victim to mechanical failures, attacks by hostiles, even natural disasters. But one that fell behind was found, and the connection was made.

War stories were exchanged in the blink of an eye. Destiny's AI experienced a few circulatory breakdowns after the Seed Ship's demise. Programs ran sluggishly, insufficient data for meaningful interpretations left her at a loss, and repeated diagnostics came up empty.

She observed her crew, looking to them for an answer.

And she discovered that she had learned how to grieve.
