An interesting little short piece of science fiction.The robot had come to the abandoned mining planet in search of information, sent there by the humans that had built him. He was looking for personal computers left by the race that had mined the planet. Others like it were all over, abandoned but for the machines, some still functioning. But no PCs had ever been found.Calvin, the AI's informal name, crashed on the planet, victim of space junk, the lander heavily damaged, it's own AI incapable of repairing it.It became a mission of survival.This planet was different. Some machines had abandoned original programming and became known as the body. They scavenged for parts and drained energy from those machines that weren't of the body.Calvin would be a particularly good prize.Liked this story that ended just as it got interesting. Well, more interesting. Hopefully, that means a sequel will be coming.
