(I don’t have any gender or sex-related parts (if a construct has those you’re a sexbot in a brothel, not a murderbot) so maybe that’s why I find sex scenes boring. Though I think that even if I did have sex-related parts I would find them boring.)

I was having an emotion, and I hate that.

ART put the contact on hold and said, Clear. And then it did one of my what-the-hell-have-the-humans-done-now sighs.

I didn’t know how long it would take to do this, so I had to ditch the humans quickly.

But it said, There are no humans here now.

ART was a big transport with a lot of interactive processes and systems working in concert, which meant there were a lot of storage spaces that would not be obvious to human intruders.

(Yes, it had actually left out the whole part about telling the Targets that I was a weapon they could use and bringing them to where they could attack our baseship, and using the comm code to locate me. That was fucking incredible.)

What did Miki have that I wanted? I had no idea. I didn’t know what I wanted. And yes, I know that was probably a big part of the problem right there.

The message packets echo that moment when SecUnit pinged her feed and she knew rescue was possible.

This being Preservation, there was a nice waiting area to one side of the transit ring’s entry hall for humans to sit and figure out what they were doing, with couches and chairs and a mosaic floor with tiled images of the planet’s flora and fauna

I wanted to get off this mine only slightly less than I had probably wanted to get off it the first time I was here.

Preservation has to make everything complicated. And that’s not a metaphor for my experience here. Okay, yes, it is a metaphor.

Why the hell does everything have to happen at once?

“Before your second mother, I had never been an actual member of a team before. Just an…”
Amena finished, “An appliance for a team.”
That was it. “Yes.”

But then I started exploring the company servers and discovered hundreds of hours of downloadable entertainment media, and I figured, what’s the hurry? I can always kill the humans after the next series ends.

Amena looked frantic. I was a little frantic, too.

I was freezing because my temperature controls had given out at some point on the way here, and the protective skin that went under my armor was in pieces.

Back in the safety of the ready room, I leaned my head against the plastic-coated wall. Now they knew their murderbot didn’t want to be around them any more than they wanted to be around it.

I didn’t want to answer any reasonable questions.

Undetermined, ART said, like it honestly didn’t give a crap. And honestly, it probably didn’t. The Targets had attacked ART’s crew. It wasn’t interested in the mystery, it just wanted its crew back.

“An abandoned colony.” Amena stirred the goop on her plate, glaring. “A bunch of people left to die, like our great-grandparents.”

You’re talking too much, ART told her on the feed, right as I was about to say it.

Lack of attention to detail is one of the reasons humans shouldn’t do their own security.

Also, you may have noticed, I don’t care.
