    Summary

    Seth side-eyed Iris, then snorted a laugh when she made a talking motion with her hand. “Uh huh.”

    « Iris, I saw that. My point is, it is frankly insulting that you immediately assume I did something bad— »

    “Peri broke protocol on its last cargo run,” Iris interrupted loudly.

    --

    Or, Seth finds out that the surprises never end when your kid is a giant homicidal starship.

    Summary

    I come back from the dead.

    Something happened. Something happened just now— I came back from the dead, yes, I know, I'm not talking about this, something before that— beyond, even, there was a recognition, a realization, somehow much more important than the hostiles I am currently grinding to dust on my deck, more important, even, than SecUnit's humans with their raised hands and SecUnit with its raised voice and myself, raised from my grave. What was it?

    "What's going on?" I ask futilely, my voice distorting through the speakers. SecUnit's humans jump, startled. "What the fuck is going on—"

    Summary

    Being left unobserved to just do my job was... nice.

    It was nice. This was a nice contract. I didn't think those two words could be put together in that order.

    (Or; Murderbot's latest group of clients are weird. They don't seem at all wary of the potential dangers of the planet, and they're both uncannily aware of how to navigate around SecUnit and completely heedless of the very real threat it poses. Which could mean nothing at all.)

    Summary

    What was that? I ask, pausing the episode.

    Nothing important. Do not worry yourself.

    ART. Come on. You never do that.
