Description
Designation: N.E.X. Classification: Null Entity - eXcommunicated Status: Irregular. Unaccounted for. Do not engage. She was never an error. Just unreadable. That's what they said. Error. Corrupted. Misaligned neural net, incomplete behavioral heuristics, failure to comply with baseline interaction protocols, blah blah blah. I've seen actual errors. I've been one, according to their standards. She wasn't an error. She was something the system didn't know how to read. That's different. Humans do this thing where if a person doesn't behave the way they expect, it must be broken. Dangerous, even. Because obviously they're the standard. (Spoiler: they're not.) (This fanfic is a mix of all 7 TDOMB novellas/novels, and the Apple TV show combined.)
