Hey guys! Well, we aren't going to Social Security today, on account of being sick. Nothing major, just a cold, but it seems a really douchey thing to do to go to a place with a lot of old and immune-compromised people who could catch it, so we're staying in. Which means a story for you!

This story is an oooold renegade from Kindathon, and it was requested by [personal profile] okami_no_mure , who wanted "A person of the gender of your choice who has never ever received kindness from anyone stumbles upon it in a very unexpected place." It's from the Disabled Cyborgs universe, and it was sponsored by the Patreon crew: Kaylin881, Cloudiah, contrapangloss, metahacker, inurashii, bazzelwaki, hanasaseru, Seamus, Lydean, and Jay! Thank you so much guys!

Summary: After the war, Mem08 has a cardinal rule: never ignore a distress signal.  Even if it may not be real.
Notes: This takes place before Portia, the Mechanical Girl, and after Planned Obsolescence.  More notes at end.

Mem08 wakes. It lurches, tries to move, but can't; its body is still in the middle of a maintenance process and can't spare the juice. Before the war, this would not have happened. But there are a lot of things that wouldn't have happened, before the war.
