Olivia resisted the urge to swear at the Forerunner. Yes, it had just tried to kill one of her soldiers, but it was only following its programming. She couldn’t know what had set it off, what threshold Lei had failed to overcome. Either way, an argument was a pointless waste of time. She could not convince it, and she could not survive without it. At least, not yet. Maybe my next batch should be computer people. I don’t want my colony run by a homicidal death computer.
