Human space fleet was annihilated by aliens. Dug out from scrapyard, now the last Earth battle ship headed to its final ultimate mission. On board, an out-dated autonomous robot was tasked to neutralize one pest.

Very funny and reflecting story. Takes old genre troops to making those afresh.

I liked the clever POV on this story, and the intertwined micro and macro narratives.
