Trans-Mutate finds herself stuck on an isolated chuck of rock.

Synopsis

Captured by Bigmos, Trans-Mutate is summarily tried and jammed into a stasis pod for transport to a penal colony. She wakes up when the stasis pod crashes on a dwarf planet in the middle of nowhere. The pod's navicomp responds to her by explaining that she needs to return to the pod and render herself unconscious. Instead, Trans-Mutate detaches the navicomp, claiming that the pod is unstable and likely to explode. As she drives along, the navicomp explains that she's on planet LGC-8803, the Claustrum having suffered a hull breach and deposited her pod there while en route to Garrus-16. While the navicomp continues to insist she should render herself unconscious and await pickup, she stumbles on a huge structure.

When she momentarily thinks she sees someone, the navicomp suggests she's hallucinating, but she insists that she doesn't suffer from false input and that she had noticed inconsistencies in history. She recalls how she fell in with Cryotek, the only person who seemed to believe her, and how he eventually betrayed her and she was helped to escape the authorities by Botanica. She ponders over the events that shadow her past, but is interrupted by the sudden and violent arrival of Rampage.

Quotes

"You are advised to return to the pod interior and re-initialize stasis to await reclamation by Maximal Security for the completion of transfer. Approximate wait time... indefinite."
"No, I will not be doing that. Also the pod is highly unlikely to properly function anymore."
"Then you are advised to get in and self-induce stasis manually. Slam your head in the door. Two to three attempts should be sufficient."

—The navicomp has some ideas on how Trans-Mutate can induce stasis.


"The ship was shot down. How is that user error?"
"All error is, ultimately, the fault of a user, given sufficient investigation."

Trans-Mutate and the navicomp


"The data did not correlate. History was inconsistent. Too many errors to attribute to incompetence. I pointed this out but the reaction was not correction, but offense. Anger."

Trans-Mutate
