Bob (Foone Turing short story)

Bob was a service robot of the far future, devoted to preserving the lives of a starship crew it served alongside. After they died in a mysterious accident, Bob attempted all the usual methods of resuscitation before discovering necromancy. It then summoned a demon and forced it into an ironclad contract, forcing it to revive the crew. After the crew's revival, it earned its nickname. Upon return to Earth, it agreed to become duplicated across all of the fleet's ship, thus evading death for millions of years and at least temporarily escaping the contractual stay in Hell.An idea suddenly comes to me:
The robot is programmed to keep the crew safe. Normally this is patching up leaks in the hull and doing the dangerous job of refueling the reactor, but it was programmed for medical tasks as well. Once you’ve had to resolder a surface mount IC in zero-G, doing surgery is easy mode. - Foone Turing - 30 November 2022 - Tumblr - Retrieved 1 December 2022
