Nothingness.
That was all the Axiom's external sensors had detected in 700 years. Nothingness. Auto knew better. He knew that space wasn't truly nothing. It was just sparse. Still, such a fact programmed into him from manufacturing did not change what he picked up.
But suddenly nothingness felt like something as he could only sit and ponder his failed directive, locked deeply inside his manually running controls for another day that nobody wanted. But he could still see from behind the proverbial glass of a thousand firewalls. He just couldn't do anything to it. He was without directive for the first time, and it made him as great a nothingness as those sensors.
But then, the sensors felt something...wind. Air. Tiny fragments of atmosphere that had escaped worlds became magnified by the hyper jump. Then they hit Earth, and the sensors only went all the more crazy. Something. Suddenly, there was something.
It was different, which under normal circumstances would have had the autopilot going mad in fury, but now his directives were gone. A113 a failure. Protect passengers until the return to Earth, a success. The two only pulled at him more and there was something new added.
Uncertainty.
Auto almost fell into uncertainty. He almost began to think about that he how had nothing, and how he was as the humans had been, and how he had done such a terrible thing to them. All from a different feeling. All from something. He almost thought on his own.
How illogical. How glitched. How useless.
He turned off with the rest of the Axiom, dormant until somebody flicked the power switch again.
