As a parent this hit me in the warm and fuzzies. Loved it.

Good job on the ending. Everyone needs a bit of wholesomeness in their lives.

Honestly, I really liked this.
I normally am not a huge fan of 1st person perspective, and there were a few minor grammatical issues here and there... but damn if I dont love me some complex situations and a great twist.

Seriously, I love the ending, and frankly, I think it speaks to what makes OPR's Grimdark Future setting so good: the people in this setting, whether they be robot, or alien hive or jackal or dwarf or human are people. Peace isnt impossible in Grimdark Future, just improbable. And this does such a good job of highlighting that.
Well done.

Thanks.  I was going to put something in that the babie's cries were disrupting the legion, and that's why they were playing nice, but this seemed... better.

This story was so heartwarming. It wasn't the plan they expected, but damn is it nice to see. A good side of the Sirius sector. Even the Machines ain't so bad.

Just don't wake the baby...

I enjoy when the plan goes right. It was really heartwarming.
