Phantoms

There is a ship. It’s big and round and gives everyone the shits, just like a mango, except it’s white, and there are no mangoes anymore. I suppose the humans find it so annoying because they never know where it is, and having valuable property wandering around unchecked is infinitely frustrating for them. The ship itself, however, is utterly oblivious to the peevances that it generates because it is a ship and so cannot process empathy. The crew on the other hand, very much enjoy aggravating the ones who set them their never ending mission, and have taken pains to be able to remain undetected for so long.

In Earth’s frozen future, drones patrol the ice plains searching for life, but one crew of androids have gone rogue, and will do anything and everything to avoid being recaptured by their human owners, they are the Phantoms.
