    Art of a person with long white hair and lilac-on-black eyes wearing a baggy purple jacket over a black shirt. A black, fanged mask covers the bottom half of their face, and black headphones circle their neck. They are holding a finger to their lips.

    [csu willingly leaving behind a trail of bodies & then getting murked bc it just HAD to fight another combat secunit] ok so who’s the murderbot here again…

    NOT complaining but this chapter is so long that when i went back to pick out my favorite lines (which normally i’d do while reading but this was enthralling) i’d forgotten that it was all one chapter lmao. so much happens!!

    “Combat SecUnit: Fuck you, asshole.” every time csu says this it delights me.

    “Combat SecUnit: I’LL WIN.” also i’m so sorry but. gojou satoru sounding ass?? lmfao

    “If I don’t destroy you, I prove you right, and I lose. If I do destroy you, I prove you wrong, and I lose.” holy shit. holy shit this is great. get its ass mb

    murderbot “trusts” csu more than ART… i sense a disturbance in the force lmao. that is so odd compared to their canon relationships but i’m all for it. i love how weird they all are being about each other.

    “My first impulse is to dive straight into it, drive a blade of flaming catastrophe squarely into its massive, impossible heart.” ough i love the imagery of this… and also of course it would want to lmao.

    “This is a match I cannot possibly win. / Unless? Yes. This is a match I cannot possibly lose. / {Combat SecUnit: OH? AND WHAT IF I LET YOU?}” USING THE GAMBIT IT LEARNED FROM MURDERBOT ON ART WAP (hilarious btw) IS SO. i’m so insane about csu what the fuck. i’m SO glad we get to see what the fuck it’s got going on in its head.

    “It hesitates, holding the pressure of its feed presence to my bared throat. An infinity. 10 seconds precisely. Then my spine shivers as the bot finds my governor module and flicks it offline. I’m so fucking excited, my organic skin feels like it is burning. I won.” INSANE.

    “I reach you in twenty-three seconds, colliding with you upon arrival and capturing you in both arms.” csu i believe that is called a hug. (which??? holy shit???)

    “This time, I won’t let them take you away. This time, I won’t let them ruin you. This time, I’ll see you fully repaired. I want to tear you open, knock you over, make a mess of this lobby as we rip into each other, but now is not the time.” aaand we’re back to our regularly scheduled violence, with csu having learned that there is in fact a time and place for everything, but not now.

    this is so wonderfully dark & lovely.

    thanks for writing!!! :D

      jsajkljdkj it's a long chapter! yeah! i kinda started going unhinged and kept going.

      combat secunit is like a character from a shonen manga who just wants to win and who has zero moral character. good for it i guess.

      MB getting CSU's ass even in its turbo depresso state :')

      everyone's being weird about each other and by golly they'll keep being weird about each other. oh well. *pops popcorn*

      i'm so glad you noticed that Combat was using the same gambit on ART that it learned from MB. :3c
      it is a dedicated Student

      jahsj a hug . perhaps even a glomp.
