590 | No Good Excuse

Dear Justin,

The correct answer is “We steal her back.”

But maybe the real question is “can they really take a sentient ship away?”

What prevents the ship from “Stealing itself” again? :)

Yeah… I imagine that Excelsior would have something to say if they tried to do anything like that… Also, I imagine she might want Zap back at some point.

Nothing and that’s the problem with AI, it ultimately only does what IT wants.

This sounds like a job for Chris…

I know that they’ve worn these outfits since they landed (before…?), but this is the first time we get a good angle at Reona. It’s good to see her in her old clothes! Wow, memories! Wow, changed-art style!

Reona- “but… what if they decide to take excelsior away?”
Justin- “we’ll figure that out if it happens, okay?”

(suddenly reona begins screaming at the top of her lungs while waving her stump of an arm up at an angle, she clutches at the remaining arm close to where it meets the shoulder as though it was on fire. everyone around her instinctively steps back shocked and confused with no idea what to do. moments later she stops screaming, her arms return to her sides and she continues walking normally as though nothing had occurred. reona casually glances back at the others…)

Reona- “tension breaker, had to be done”

I just woke up and maybe this is a trick question, but Excelsior is best ship…
