Fics like There is actually a way out from between a reinforced steel bulkhead and a hard place, but you're definitely not gonna like it

The middle of All Systems Red, but with a few changes to how those pesky combat override modules work, among other things :) Now with bonus chapters! - The humans were going to want to know what a combat override module was, what it did, how it worked, and most importantly, why it hadn't worked on me. I could answer the first three things just fine, but short of telling my already-jittery clients I was hacked ("so I'm actually one of those scary rogue units you've heard so much about, but the good news is that a combat override module can't hijack a governor module that doesn't work!"), that last thing was going to be a big problem. Honestly, even if I did tell them exactly that, which I really didn't want to do, it was going to be a really big fucking problem.
