(applauds) The one thing that differentiates us meat brains from the machine mind. I would add "Intuition" to that list.

Yeah, I should have put Intuition and instinct on there. As that's what brought out the solution from Captain Danvers.

I liked the robots' POV on the matter, especially the griping from 982. One hopes that it relays this new insight to the others.

Probably not. Unless some one creates a protocol for it.

The tension was there. You also tap into the everyday and the small which makes Scifi the most fun, so there's plenty of success in it. Really only the environment and character description where the only things needing a tune up, with short works like this what may help that out is using dialogue tags tuned to action description with reference to the body, don't have to use every dialogue, but every now and again will sensory/imagery things up a little for your audience.

Thanks for the tip! I will try that in my next story.

this one made my lunch a whole lot more enjoyable... well done Lu...

Thank you so much!

I loved this one! Very much in the vein of 1950s-'60s 'hard' science fiction.

Understood that the Captain -- or any of the biological crew -- did not need to be a Fur to make the story work. Any big guy would do, but this is the nature of FA, so be it. I used the same logic writing Some Assembly Required, but I wanted to reuse an established character, and of course this is Fur Affinity, not Analog or Isaac Asimov's.

Thank you!

Tell you the truth, you are not wrong, it could have been any big guy. I just felt minotaurs were being under used at the moment, so I figured I could help balance the equation.

Good choice; I have to agree. There seem to be a plethora of centaurs and Dutch Angel Dragons, though.
