    Summary

    Local SecUnit reunites with former clients while visiting the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland. Former clients are delighted. SecUnit is not.

    ------------------

     

    If I were a smart murderbot, I wouldn’t have looked around. I would have kept on following Iris through the university courtyard and left well enough alone. If I were a dumber bot, I wouldn’t have looked around either. Because whoever had said that name was probably talking to someone actually named Eden, not a construct who had briefly borrowed that name from its favorite serial.
    But I’m just me, and I looked around.

    Summary

    I glanced over, and saw that Martyn was drinking something from a large mug. “I’d like it if you were crew,” he said once the mug was half-empty. “It’s been nice, getting to know you.”

    I looked away, and tried to wrestle my organics back into order from where they’d gone all weird and hot and wibbly and melty.

    SecUnit deals with the horrors of being in a supportive environment, and makes a choice.
