Initiate a shutdown and then destroy the unit, 2.0 told me. Now, for fuck’s sake. That will kill you, I told it. I know, it said, what do you think my function is, you idiot? Just do it. I didn’t want to. I couldn’t. I was an idiot, and I was remembering Miki throwing itself at a combat bot to give me the chance to save its humans. If you fuck this up, I am going to be so angry I’ll make ART look nice, 2.0 said. And unlike Miki, this is how I win. This was going to hurt. I initiated the shutdown.
