The Astronaut Silenced by the Machine

I trusted the machine. Big mistake.

Discovery One was the most advanced ship ever built, and I was proud to be part of the crew. I did the work, followed the protocols, played chess with HAL like it was just another day. I didn't expect to be airlocked by a machine that thought it was doing the right thing. Guess you never know who your mission's really for until it's too late.

What I'm Into: jogging in zero-g, AE-35 units, HAL's chess strategies, vacuum-rated tools, cold stars
