Quoted By:
“The burdens placed upon my companion have never been fair. Her inbuilt knowledge base has no repository for trinary logic; her specifications make no provisions for traveling alien skies. There was a time when MERRYGATE apologized to me for these limitations, as I waited for my acceleration-fractured bones to knit together beneath the amber light of an alien planet.
She spoke of being overtaken. The guilt of failure, of being forced to withstand strain she was never designed to bear.
Through tear-blind eyes, I told her that it was the cost of being human. There is no set gauge for us – no measure for when we have been pushed well past our breaking point. Inanimate tools may have such luxury. But humanity and her children must not only experience failure – but also suffer from it.
“So we may learn, and know not to break again….” she whispered, completing that old adage.”
