"Can't say I have," she admits instead. "So I'll do just that." It's easy to imagine how disorienting and distressing that could be. That's not how mirrors are meant to work, for one, so the failure to meet the expectations of reality is a definite problem for the mind. But for another... facing off with something that looks like you, or being faced with the possibility that something else is also you, the question of identity...

"Oh, I'm not disagreeing there. One of my colleagues is a robot." No matter how much he makes me want to strangle him when he decides "stealth" is code for "mass destruction". Pay no mind to the fact the word she should have used is "friend"—there may be some things she's slower to admit than others. Or maybe the word isn't right. "But I've never met a whole ship with an AI that complex. It's a little surprising."
