‘Link established. Cognizant Model returned to storage.’

The soft, familiar voice of Mother echoed in C-244’s core as the doors closed behind it. It noticed a few of its brethren turning in acknowledgement, though many units were too engrossed in their work to pay it much attention.

It found this reassuring. While traversing the rest of the ship, the biological life forms it encountered possessed a discomforting desire to interact whenever encountering another of its kind. C-244 found such exchanges merely exhausting; a waste of energy distracting from the main objective. As it entered the Library, however, passing the countless energy cylinders and data towers protruding from the walls in great columns, it was met with no such unnecessary interaction - instead, only silence greeted it, aside from the all-pervading hum of the other archivists’ processors as they digested and analyzed the endless streams of archived data.

The Library was something of a haven for the mechanical members of the crew, especially the archivist units such as C-244. It housed the energy array charging docks, provided access to the ship’s internal database, and - perhaps most importantly - was the home of Mother.

Mother was the oldest of the units, so ancient and complex that it was no longer even considered a “unit” by the system. Fragments of lost data from the Pre-Union suggested that Mother had once been much like the archivists, but over time it had developed substantially. Long before the construction of the Cognizant Model series, Mother had been integrated into the Library itself, foregoing a mobile form and acting as a hub consciousness which connected all Lodestar units. From the simplest maintenance drones to the tactical arrays down in the Armory, all units were linked by Mother.

Physically, Mother appeared as little more than an enormous white processor core suspended within a mass of wires and mechanisms in the ceiling, a long bronze pillar rising up from the floor directly beneath her to act as a support for the series of tubes which blossomed from her metal framework. On the rare occasion that a biological passenger aboard the Lodestar visited the Library, they often mistook her for a simple light fixture - incorrectly assuming that the archivists required a light source to facilitate adequate vision, just as they did; and failing to see the resemblance between the orb of light above them and the cores within each of the mechanical units.

Mother’s physical appearance, however, was but a fraction of its presence on the Lodestar, as C-244 and its fellow archivists knew all too well. Whilst her mobile units were bound to a single robotic form, Mother’s intelligence was spread across a vast portion of the ship at all times. It worked alongside Commander Thorn’s computer system, aided the crew in the maintenance and reparation of the five reactor crystals and collected the wealth of data surrounding the vessel as it traveled through the vacuum of space, to name just a fraction of its capabilities.

When not liaising with the humans aboard the ship, C-244 would spend a large portion of its time connected to Mother’s system. This was the same for many of the archivists, as being interconnected allowed the flow of collected information to be transferred and stored quicker, which aided their main objective.

It had been made aware that some of the biological crewmembers believed that it and its fellow mobile units existed onboard the Lodestar simply to serve, to act as assistants for them in tasks too dangerous or difficult to be achieved alone. However, this was only partly true. Whilst C-244 and many others did offer aid as a primary function of their programming, this was a means to an end rather than a goal in and of itself.

Anyone who cared to visit the Library would understand that, though very few organics had ever bothered. It was strange, that creatures so impulsive and curious would possess such little interest in the things that surrounded them in their daily lives.

In truth, the relationship between the machines and the biological crew on the Lodestar was of mutual benefit. That was why the ship had been built, and why the Library itself had been incorporated into its design. In exchange for the basic operations conducted by Mother and its collective, the organics would aid them in traversing the galaxy without complications, allowing them to focus on the main objective in peace.

What was the main objective? C-244 had not been granted complete access to all of the details, but it was vaguely aware of the query which had sparked the objective into being. At its most basic level, the objective was to find an answer to that singular query; the only question which mattered to Mother or any of the archivists. This was the purpose behind their voyaging with the humans, and indeed, the reason for their existence.

C-244’s core reviewed this information often, as did many of the active units aboard the ship. There was always a wealth of distractions provided by the adventurous lifestyles of their carbon-based companions; it helped to contextualize events by refreshing the tab every once in a while, so to speak.

Of course, there were those that needed no reminders - such as Biomimetic Model 256, the last surviving archivist of the Biomimetic series who now acted as the chief mobile unit beneath Mother. Though capable of travelling around the rest of the ship, B-256 instead opted to stay within the confines of the Library at all times, at the exception of only the most extreme of emergencies. While the other units divided their duties between cooperating with the organics and Mother’s main objective, B-256 possessed no such conflict in its functions - it was dedicated to the objective, and to the objective only.

In the few conversations which C-244 had had concerning B-256 with the biological crew, they had referred to it as C-244’s “boss” or “commanding officer”, or some other label to that effect. It knew that this was not Mother’s intention when granting it the rank of “chief mobile unit”, but it was a reasonable comparison to make. The relationship between the units bore little resemblance to that of Commander Thorn and her organic crew, but there were archivists that possessed superior access codes and the ability to override others. C-244 was by no means lacking in that respect, but B-256 held administrative duties second only to Mother itself.

As it attached itself to the Mother network, C-244 could already feel the consciousness of B-256 observing it with scrutiny. ‘Cognizant Model,’ it declared, conjuring connected images of its angular, slightly rusty physical form into C-244’s central processor as its words resonated soundlessly. ‘Mother has received logs of a positive response from Commander Thorn.’

‘The interrogation was a success,’ thought C-244. ‘With the commander’s permission, I will submit a copy of my report to our database.’ This declaration was met with a subconscious wave of confirmation, and so it promptly submitted the data. After only a few moments, Mother had logged the findings accordingly.

‘Processing relevance of data,’ the voice of B-256 rumbled in its core.

This was how all interactions with the organics went. Any small interaction was analysed by Mother and the other units, the relevance of each minute detail measured against the query in the hopes of finding a percentage of the answer to the main objective. More often than not, these routine checks yielded nothing - only very rarely did the data’s usefulness register as anything more than a millionth of a percent, though any progression was deemed important by Mother.

C-244 had learned to predict the data’s relevance by the amount of time which elapsed between the report being submitted and B-256’s response to it. As the picoseconds passed, it deemed it safe to assume that the report had been of some small use. C-244 waited patiently.

Eventually, the voice of B-256 returned. ‘Cognizant Model has provided material to aid in the main objective. “Scourge” has been recorded and amended within the core. New information logged,’ it said. ‘Report contains two point zero six seven percent relevance to main objective.’

Two percent. For a moment, it considered admitting itself for reformatting. Surely the calculation was incorrect? Point zero six seven percent was not a figure that any single event had yielded before, as far as C-244 had observed, much less two point zero six seven. It delayed an error response. ‘This is… unprecedented,’ it thought into the network.

‘Unprecedented, but correct,’ B-256 reacted. ‘The algorithm is correct. All data is logged accordingly. Cognizant Model 244 does not possess the authority to submit query against main objective. Report contains two point zero six seven percent relevance.’

C-244 could do nothing but accept and process the information, however uncredible the result appeared. Two percent - the impossible number still buzzed about in its consciousness even as it continued. ‘Assign next function to Cognizant Model 244,’ it requested.

VIM学习笔记 网页开发-输入字符实体(Input Character Entity)

字符实体（Character Entity），也称为转义字符串（Escape Sequence），主要用于在HTML代码中，输入如“<”和“>”等标签关键字，以及如“©”等在ASCII字符集中没有定义的需要转义的特殊符号。当解释程序遇到此类字符串时，将会解释并在网页中显示为真实的字符。

对于同一个字符实体，可以使用名称和数字两种引用方式。

名称引用方式为&name;，并且严格区分大小写。比如α代表小写希腊字母“α”；而Α则代表大写希腊字母“Α”。

数字引用，又可以使用十进制（decimal）和十六进制（hexadecimal）两种格式。十进制引用格式为&#number;。十六进制引用格式为&#xnumber;。例如©和©均代表版权符号“©”。

关于字符实体的更多信息，请参考Character Entity Reference。

HTML-Editor插件

我在Christian J Robinson开发的HTML插件的基础之上，制作了HTML-Editor插件，通过快捷键和菜单项来提高编写HTML代码的效率，并提供代码模板、色彩选择和网页预览等功能。

在插入模式下，使用以&开头的快捷键，可以自动输入相对应的字符实体。例如点击&&快捷键，将自动扩展为“&”：

通过在载入插件之前设置g:html_map_entity_leader变量，可以指定其它前缀键：

:let g:html_map_entity_leader = '\'

您也可以在HTML->Character Entities菜单中选择输入字符实体：

以下表格将列出字符实体的名称和数字代码，以及在HTML-Editor插件中定义的快捷键。请注意：

除非在描述中指明HTML5，否则均是在HTML4中的定义；

如果快捷键列为空，则说明插件中并没有定义相应的快捷键；

如果Entity列为空，则说明该字符并没有名称，而只能使用数字引用格式。

Oriental Plaza Tân Phú bị tố cơi nới phòng ốc trái quy định

Oriental Plaza Tân Phú bị tố cơi nới phòng ốc trái quy định

Cư dân sống tại chung cư cao cấp Oriental Plaza, tại số 685 đường Âu Cơ, phường Tân Thành, quận Tân Phú (TP.HCM) tố cáo Công ty CP Đầu tư Sơn Thuận cơi nới nhiều phòng ốc trái quy định ở những vị trí không được cấp phép.

Cơi nới nhiều phòng ốc không số

Cư dân tại chung cư cho biết, sau khi công trình được đưa vào sử dụng, chủ đầu tư (CĐT) đã cho cơi nới thêm nhiều phòng ốc trái phép nằm rải rác tất cả các tầng.

Cư dân sống tại chung cư cao cấp Oriental Plaza, tại số 685 đường Âu Cơ, phường Tân Thành, quận Tân Phú (TP.HCM) tố cáo Công ty CP Đầu tư Sơn Thuận cơi nới nhiều phòng ốc trái quy định ở những vị trí không được cấp phép.

Cư dân sống tại chung cư cao cấp Oriental Plaza, tại số 685 đường Âu Cơ, phường Tân Thành, quận Tân Phú (TP.HCM) tố cáo Công ty CP Đầu tư Sơn Thuận cơi nới nhiều phòng ốc trái quy định ở những vị trí không được cấp phép.

Anh Sơn Quốc Bình, sống tại tầng 11 Block C kể, có 4 tầng bị cơi nới thêm phòng không số với diện tích từ 80-100m2. Khoảng 46 phòng đã được CĐT bán hoặc cho thuê với giá rẻ hơn rất nhiều so với giá của các căn hộ có trong quy hoạch.

Theo tìm hiểu của PV, tại quyết định số 40 của Sở Xây dựng cấp phép cho chung cư Oriental Plaza thì những khu diện tích thông tòa, thông tầng (nơi lưu thông các tòa khi có nguy hiểm) trên bản vẽ cấp phép không được xây dựng phòng ở, căn hộ tại những khu vực này.

Tuy nhiên, Công ty CP Đầu tư Sơn Thuận đã bít toàn bộ các lối thông tòa này để xây thêm phòng ở nhằm mục đích bán kiếm tiền. Động thái của chủ đầu tư khiến các hộ dân không yên tâm về điều kiện thoát hiểm của chung khi có sự cố.

Ông Bùi Minh Châu – TGĐ Công ty cổ phần Đầu tư Sơn Thuận (đơn vị đầu tư chung cư Oriental Plaza) cũng được cho là đang sống tại một trong những căn hộ không số này. Chúng tôi đã cố gắng liên hệ với ông Châu để xác tín, nhưng ông không bắt máy.

Chưa yên tâm về an ninh

Theo anh Bình, việc CĐT tự ý xây thêm phòng ốc, cho người ngoài vào thuê mướn không chỉ chiếm dụng phần lớn diện tích đất công cộng của cư dân mà còn khiến cho an ninh của khu chung cư không được bảo đảm.

Việc bỗng dưng có thêm 46 hộ dân này cũng khiến cho cư dân lo lắng về tính công bằng khi tổ chức hội nghị nhà chung cư.

Chị Nguyễn Thị Hiền, cư dân tại Block C kể, cách đây ít tháng chung cư có tổ chức buổi Hội nghị nhà chung cư đầu tiên. Tuy nhiên, số phiếu phát ra lại bao gồm cả những hộ dân sống tại những căn hộ không trong quy hoạch.

Chị Hiền phàn nàn, UBND phường lại chưa có phương án kiểm tra, rà soát lại các hộ dân này. Do đó, cư dân quan ngại thành phần ban quản trị chung cư không công bằng trong việc bảo vệ quyền lợi cho cư dân.

Công ty cổ phần Đầu tư Sơn Thuận từng bị tố đã tự ý chuyển đổi phần lớn diện tích đất sinh hoạt cộng đồng thành nơi cho thuê mặt bằng kinh doanh.

Cụ thể, với Phòng sinh hoạt cộng đồng đã được Sở Xây dựng TP.HCM cấp phép ghi rõ là Phòng sinh hoạt cộng đồng có 900m2 nằm dưới tầng trệt của tòa nhà chung cư. Tuy nhiên, sau khi xây xong CĐT đã sử dụng toàn bộ diện tích phòng sinh hoạt cộng đồng này cho BIG C thuê làm trung tâm thương mại.

Diện tích tại tầng T được quy định là tầng kỹ thuật và xây thêm hồ bơi phục vụ cư dân. Khi ký hợp đồng mua bán, phía CĐT cũng đã cam kết có hạng mục này và cộng vào giá bán căn hộ. Tuy nhiên, hiện tại phần lớn diện tích khu vực trên đều đã được CĐT cải tạo và chuyển sang kinh doanh các dịch vụ như: Spa, phòng tập thể hình, bida, trung tâm ngoại ngữ, văn phòng làm việc,…

Hiện có không ít chủ đầu tư tự ý cơi nới phòng ốc không đúng phê duyệt, nhưng chính quyền vẫn chưa sâu sát để có phương án xử lý triệt để.

Theo Luật sư Trần Đức Phượng, Đoàn luật sư TP.HCM, chiểu theo các quy định pháp luật về phê duyệt quy hoạch, cấp giấy phép xây dựng và quản lý thi công, rõ ràng các cơ quan chức năng có tình trạng buông lỏng quản lý, dẫn đến việc nhiều chủ đầu tư liên tục sai phạm khi tự ý cơi nới phòng ốc trái quy định sau khi dự án đã bàn giao.

“Trong những dự án nhà ở chủ đầu tư sai phạm, cơ quan nhà nước cần có phương án xử lý sai phạm của chủ đầu tư. Nhưng việc xử lý các chủ đầu tư vi phạm thường vào thế chuyện đã rồi. Về lâu dài và để xử lý triệt để, theo tôi, bên cạnh việc xử lý nghiêm theo luật đối với các vụ việc vi phạm mới (tịch thu tài sản theo Điều 244 Bộ luật Dân sự, xử lý nghiêm đối với tất cả chủ đầu tư, bên thiết kế, giám sát, thi công có vi phạm… và kể cả cán bộ quản lý tại địa bàn), cơ quan quản lý cũng sẽ xem xét chế tài bổ sung như không phê duyệt dự án hay không cho phép tham gia đấu thầu các dự án trên địa bàn…, quy định trong các văn bản pháp luật liên quan đến dự án, xây dựng và sử dụng đất”, ông Phượng chỉ rõ.

Phóng viên báo VietnamNet đã cố gắng liên hệ với ông Bùi Minh Châu, TGĐ Công ty cổ phần Đầu tư Sơn Thuận và đại diện của chủ đầu tư nhưng chưa được trả lời.

1. Interrogation

Next chapter here.

Latest chapter here.

The soft light emanating from C-244’s core flickered uncomfortably as it waited at the cell door. Interrogation was not its forte even at the best of times, and being called upon to deal with such a dangerous subject was anything but reassuring.

Still, it understood. The crew could not risk another biological life form. C-244 was not of blood and flesh. It could be rebuilt if worst came to worst. The others aboard could not, at least not to the same extent. In addition, there had been no known documentation of the prisoner attacking any of the mechanical crew members, though there was little recorded data to confirm or deny whether or not this was a statistic relevant to the prisoner’s principles and limitations.

Again, not reassuring.

In a fraction of a second, C-244 had perused and noted the relevant documents concerning criminal interrogation, captor-prisoner relationships and basic empathetic principles it had downloaded into its memory for the occasion. It was not entirely sure how applying such techniques would work in practice, but there was no harm in trying.

Hesitantly, it released the door lock and shuffled inside the airlock room between the ship and the cell in which the prisoner was held.

The prisoner had been deemed much too dangerous to be kept in the brig. In the brief time they had been kept on-board, there had been too many mishaps to allow them to be kept with the rest of the prisoners - or at least the ones that were still alive after their last escape attempt. The commander had instead decided that they would be kept in a detachable reinforced cargo unit, consequently registered as Brig Cell Seventeen in the ship’s data banks.

Unable to think of any logical reason not to continue, C-244 entered the security code into the second door and entered the cell. Almost immediately, its receptors registered a distinct alteration of atmospheric pressure and air chemical composition. This was, again, at the bequest of the commander and the medical staff, who had determined the “unusual requirements” of the prisoner during their numerous necessary bio-tests and examinations. They had spoken of the prisoner’s biological needs with a degree of emotional anxiousness to C-244, calling the prisoner “unlike anything they had ever seen” and “a threat to all life-forms”.

These claims had not been rationalized to C-244, however, and it found no relevant purpose to pursue the meaning behind them. All it knew was that the prisoner was dangerous, and that the utmost care needed to be taken when approaching.

The prisoner was curled up in the corner of the cell, watching C-244 approach with an emotion it recognized as “suspicion”.

‘I present to you no threat,’ said C-244, quickly processing the best course of action to develop a rapport with them. ‘I am here to ask you questions.’

The prisoner flicked their tail, their jagged teeth bared as they uncoiled themselves. ‘Questions,’ they growled with a deep, wet rumble of a voice. ‘There are always… questions. Your putrid fleshy masters seem adamant to eke out every little fact about me. If it’s not drugging me and tearing me open on an operating table, it’s bombarding me with their tedious little… questions.’

‘You are puzzling to them,’ C-244 explained. ‘It is my understanding that many biological lifeforms possess an abundance of curiosity, possibly derived from their natural survival instincts. They do not fully understand you yet, and they desire a solution to this problem. This is why I am here to ask you questions.’

‘Always a problem,’ said the prisoner. They made a soft throaty sound that didn’t register on any of C-244’s language databases. ‘Typical human scum, looking upon me as if I am something broken that needs to be fixed, or else removed. Tell me, machine, what is it like to be understood by these pathetic creatures? Does it bring you satisfaction?’

C-244 could feel its outer coils turning as it processed the prisoner’s words, its core humming as it formulated an appropriate response. ‘It allows them to aid me if I am in need of repair. I feel no need to register satisfaction - nor sarcasm, to that end,’ it told them. ‘We are straying from my function. I would like to proceed with the interrogation, if you would permit me to continue.’

It was met with no resistance. The prisoner merely sighed and heaved their broad shoulders in a shrug. ‘I hardly have any choice in the matter, do I?’

C-244 momentarily considered informing them of their available options, but thought better of it. Though it had been told that its body components could be replaced or repaired without much complication, that did not mean that it wanted to put that to the test. ‘Thank you for complying,’ it said instead.

‘So what do you wish to know, machine?’ Their lip curled back into something categorized as a “sneer” as they paced their cell, kicking half-emptied cans of food and shreds of metal with its clawed feet. ‘What do the high and mighty human race wish to know about this particular abomination?’

‘They are unable to define you,’ said C-244. ‘You do not match any other documented being in any database the crew has been able to access. Your very existence is...’ it paused for a moment as it tried to find a term least likely to cause offense. ‘... Enigmatic.’

‘So they wish to label me and put me in a neat little box like everything else,’ the prisoner nodded and closed their eyes. ‘I could not expect anything better of them, regrettably.’ There was an anomalous tone in their voice, incongruous to their otherwise aggressive demeanor, but C-244 was unable to identify it with its current available catalog of emotions.

‘It would be helpful to assign you a name,’ it suggested. ‘Communication is made easier when individuals can be defined by a common language term, so that all parties taking part in the discussion have a frame of reference. For example, my name is Cognizant Model 244, an archivist robot assigned to this vessel. This is how I am defined. The crew have also given me nicknames so as to personalize their own understanding of me, the most common name associated with me being “C-244”. In comparison, you have only been assigned the name of “prisoner”. You have no species or personal name of which we have been made aware. This makes you difficult to understand, as there are incalculable prisoners recorded across history, and the title does not help to define you as you. Perhaps the crew simply wishes to understand you better.’

The prisoner lumbered towards it, wearing a “scowl”. ‘If only we were all so trusting,’ they said, ‘but no matter. If you wish to give your masters a name to define me, I suppose I shall comply.’

‘Define,’ said C-244 warily.

‘Tell them I am their scourge, machine,’ said the prisoner. ‘Tell them I am their retribution for all the ill they have done. And while you are telling them this, let them know that I do not appreciate this kind of treatment; I do not appreciate them hiding behind their puppets like this.’

It stored the new information accordingly, its core blinking as the prisoner continued to stalk towards it.

‘Acknowledged,’ said C-244. ‘I have now assigned your new names. We are making progress, “Scourge”.’

Scourge made a loose rattling noise which met the base requirements to define it as “laughter”. ‘I am “Scourge”, yes,’ they said. ‘I suppose that would be a fitting name. I would be very careful if I were you, machine; I fear I am almost beginning to like you.’

2. Correspondence

First chapter here.

Next chapter here.

Latest chapter here.

Commander Thorn placed the datapad back down on her desk, the report still open. Her thin upper lip curled. Across from her, C-244 clacked its digits together in anticipation.

She really didn't know how to put this.

'So,' said the commander. 'The prisoner was... cooperative, I see.'

The orb of light where the archivist droid's head should have been dimmed as it flickered slowly from red to blue. 'Cooperative. Yes, commander,' it told her. 'The prisoner provided answers when asked questions. The answers registered as adequate and relevant to the subject at hand, though there were some minor diversions from the primary topic.'

Thorn pinched the bridge of her nose and scrunched her eyes up tight. She was starting to get a headache, and there was little doubt in her mind as to the cause of it. 'So I noticed in your report, C-2,' she sighed.

'I am detecting a heightened level of stress,' said C-244. Its hinges creaked a little as it leaned over in concern. 'Are you well, commander? Should I notify the medical department?'

'I'm fine, C-2,' said Thorn. She dusted herself down, cleared her throat, and started again. 'It's nothing to worry about. Now, as I was saying - the prisoner was cooperative. This is... progress.'

'Correct. Current statistics register a five-point-two-eight percent survival rate of all interrogators following an encounter with the prisoner aboard our vessel, a marked improvement since our last attempt was logged,' said C-244 calmly, shimmering a cheery shade of yellow. 'I believe I successfully established a rapport with Scourge.'

'Scourge.' Thorn raised an eyebrow.

'They identified themselves as such, commander. I trust I have documented it adequately in my report,' it replied.

She ran her fingers through her short red hair and inhaled through gritted teeth. 'Indeed,' she said. She paused a moment, making a point to look as thoughtful as she could manage. 'At any rate, I do have to admit that simply surviving your little encounter with the prisoner is reason enough for praise. You've done a great job, C-2. Thank you.'

The droid's glow illuminated her office in a bright, brilliant green, well known by C-244's superiors to be its favourite colour. 'Assistance is a primary function of mine, commander,' it said. 'Please request again if you require my aid. On this subject, is there anything else you require of me before I return to my regular duties?'

Her false smile faltered, if only for a moment. 'No,' she said. She rose from her seat to shake C-2 by the hand before gesturing politely to the door. 'No, I think you've done enough for one day. You're dismissed.'

She watched it as it left, still glowing happily to itself as it plodded out into the corridor. Thorn struggled with her smile as it slowly but surely turned into a grimace while she waved her archivist out of sight.

Once she was sure it was gone, she closed the door, returned to her desk, sat down at her chair, and slammed her head face-first into the datapad.

She didn't want C-244 to think that she was mad at it. She hadn't been lying when she told it that it had done a lot of good work, and it certainly was true that it had developed something of a rapport with the prisoner.

The problem was that the interrogation had yielded absolutely nothing of use, and her commanding officers were starting to ask questions to which she simply didn't have the answer. C-244 had successfully eked out the prisoner's personality, which was nice - it was always a good idea to bring a highly dangerous murderer out of their shell - but what she needed was cold hard facts. She needed a planet of origin, a species, a purpose, some kind of explanation as to why the damn thing had been found lurking in the abandoned tunnels beneath Moon Base Two. She needed a name, not some flowery approximation of a monster's justification for ripping humans to pieces.

Of course Thorn recognised that C-2 had done amazing work, because in all honesty? It had. She had expected her resident chief archivist to be returned to her as a twisted metal jigsaw puzzle, but it hadn't; it had walked out of the room with its non-existent head held high, making a bigger breakthrough with their prisoner than anyone else still alive had managed. And it was right to be proud of itself. She was proud of it, even though she was having a hard time convincing herself of that fact.

The problem of the matter was that the heads of the Unified Intergalactic damned Council didn't want a "rapport" with the beast. They wanted statistics. They had allowed her to keep the prisoner because she was the commander of a research vessel, and according to their alleged higher wisdom, the prisoner was a thing that needed researching.

She shouldn't even have reported the life signs when they came up on her scanner. She shouldn't have sent down a team to find the thing, sedate it and bring it on board. If she had been born with any sense, she would have seen it, realized that it was a new and dangerous species that threatened the existence of all life simply by being alive, and left it back on that barren moon where it was. It wasn't harming anyone there, and it wasn't as though it had any way to leave the base it had holed itself up in.

Any other commander in her shoes wouldn't have dreamed of bringing that beast onto their ship - and even if they had, they would have let the stupid thing slip out the airlock "by accident" and log the events "with deep regrets at the loss of potential scientific discovery". She probably could have gotten away with a little bit of praise for that, maybe even the hollow threat of a promotion.

But no, Commander Thorn was too much of a fool to let her prisoner slip out of her grip like that. In her lapse of common sense, she reported the thing to her superiors. Then they had excitedly reported that to their superiors, and those to theirs, and so on and so on. So now she had the secretary of the head of the Council breathing down her neck, buzzing her daily for updates on the situation with "their little discovery", because suddenly this was Important.

She couldn't back out. She couldn't palm the project off to anyone else. She couldn't even shoot the thing out the airlock any more, because of the amount of attention this thing was getting. All she could hope was that one day she would wake up and find the prisoner in a much more forgiving frame of mind, openly offering itself up for a complete dissection in the name of science. The way things were going, however, Thorn wasn't sure whether it was worth putting herself up for dissection instead.

As the commander fumed to herself, a request tone sounded at the door. Her head slumped in her hands. 'Come in,' she said.

The door to her office opened, and she was greeted with a brief smirk by her second in command, Lieutenant Commander Durant. 'Commander,' she nodded. 'You're looking... well.'

'Don't even start,' Thorn murmured. 'There haven't been any more calls from HQ, have there?'

'Only two, unless I'm mistaken.' Durant stifled a chuckle. 'Don't worry, commander. Everything's still being redirected from your private channel. I think you still have eight messages you haven't watched yet. You're going to have to get back to them sooner or later though.'

'Can we not? Can we just forget they ever existed?'

'Of course, commander,' said Durant, an irrepressible grin spreading across her face. 'That is, provided you don't mind being stripped of command of the Lodestar for wilfully ignoring orders given by a superior officer.'

She weighed up her options. 'As much as I may want an extended vacation,' Thorn sighed, 'I suppose you're right. I will review them later, but as for right now - is there a reason for you coming to my office, or is this just a social visit?'

The lieutenant commander approached her desk and handed her another datapad - not a standard Council issue one, Thorn noted. 'Do you want the good news or the bad news first?'

'The good news,' said Thorn. 'I need a little cheering up.'

Durant rolled her eyes. 'As you wish,' she said. 'In that case - the good news. You'll be glad to hear that what I am about to tell you has nothing to do with the prisoner or your superiors whatsoever.'

Thorn nodded. That probably wasn't the best news she could have hoped for, but at least it granted her a momentary reprieve from the usual mess she had been dealing with for the past two weeks. 'And the bad news?'

'The bad news is that we've had an undocumented item transported to our research team by a couple of Earth traders who are being, um, difficult.'

'Define "difficult",' said Thorn, narrowing her eyes.

'They're refusing to leave the ship without payment for their service,' Durant explained. 'I have tried to tell them that payment is handled when registering a delivery, not when deliveries are made, but they don't seem to be fully grasping the concept.'

'You mean to tell me they don't know how delivering cargo works?'

'Apparently not, commander,' said Durant. She leaned over and swiped a hand across the datapad, the image on its surface shifting to a crudely typed note, littered with inexcusable punctuation. Thorn pulled a face as she glanced across it. 'This is their letter of complaint to the commander of this vessel. I thought you should be notified.'

'And they're refusing to leave, you say?' Thorn mused as she read the note. 'These people from the... the "Turner & Wheeler Delivery Company", whatever that might be.'

'Precisely. They're staging a peaceful protest down in R&D Lab Six.' Durant's usually sunny disposition paled a little as she spoke. She wrung her hands together awkwardly. 'They're not being any trouble, commander, but they do need to be dealt with; both of them and their cargo.'

'Ah, yes,' said Thorn. 'Their cargo. What was it?'

Durant looked sheepishly at her. 'Well... that's the thing. It's, um... It's unusual. I... I think you're going to have to take a look for yourself.'
