   Summary

   It did not feel. It did not want. But it needed. It needed the Captain with every cell and mechanical structure it its body. But it didn't know why. It had saved him from the water when it could have let him drown. He was its mission. The mission must be completed. But it couldn't. It had failed. Defected. But the way the Captain had looked at it, like it was worth something. Like he had been starving without it. It needed the Captain, and maybe the Captain needed it too.
