dogzilla2312: it was awesome, he won by just running in circles, they couldn’t hit him until the time ran out

zomBmom: omg reminds me of Sendula

dogzilla2312: huh. wuts a sendula

zomBmom: you know, big cargo vert whose programming somehow got it thinking it always needed to return to the back of the line for unloading?

dogzilla2312: thats hilarious. so it just kept circling back when it got to the front?

zomBmom: yep, would never actually dock and let the bots unload it. 

zomBmom: but worse, the bug jumped to the other cargo verts via the docking sequence reader

dogzilla2312: lol, buncha ships just circling to get behind each other? hahahah

zomBmom: !! yeah

zomBmom: THEN when they tried to reroute the bugged verts it spread to other docks lol. Shut down a ton of shipping for about 48 hours along the whole BAMA sprawl before someone fixed the bug, but the knock-on shipping delays lasted for months

dogzilla2312: I sort of love that we know the name of the vert that started it

zomBmom: oh yeah it was like a folk hero. the news was so depressing that summer, Syzygy broke that year and the first Timor corpwar had just started and we prob all just needed something to laugh about

dogzilla2312: yikes i bet

zomBmom: sendula was everywhere for a while. “don’t let them take your goods” and “no means no” memes, someone even created a sendula holoskin that flashed for a hot sec

dogzilla2312: amazels. when was this?

zomBmom: oh uh lesse… 51, i wanna say? you don’t remember this at all?

dogzilla2312: haha dude i was just 2

zomBmom: well great now i feel old
